My friend & I did family style with a restaurant week special + the charcuterie plate . If you love an experiential charcuterie , get one here - it was delicious and the sauces were also fabulous.

Serious Eats

Tim Wiechmann 's German restaurant is much more than a brats and beer haus (though do yourself a favor and order both when you go), and a great addition to Somerville's restaurant-heavy Union Square.

Eater

The second project from Tim and Bronywn Wiechmann . The Union Square restaurant features German and Central European food, and the biergarten is always packed in pleasant weather. [Eater 38 Member]

Get a group together and share a mix of the wurst , it's the best. And don't forget to get a Giant Haus Bretzel for the table.

Eater

Bronwyn serves the underrepresented cuisines of Central and Eastern Europe. There's a foie gras knish . After opening this summer, the Union Square restaurant 's popularity is showing no signs of waning

Scott Boni

Delicious food and beer in a cool atmosphere. The potato salad ? Very delicious. CHUNKS of bacon in the potato salad .

Boston.com

The house-made dog is smothered in Emmentaler cheese , house-made sauerbraten, mustard , and chili on a thick poppy-seed potato bun . Also, the paprika house-made chips are a killer. Read more

Great selection of German beer and German-style local craft beer . Soft pretzel , er "bretzel," appetizer is awesome. As is the spaetzel . Oh, and get the doughnuts for dessert . Yeah.

Liz Blair

The atmosphere was incredible as was the beer list . I ordered the vegan plate which was fantastic and had a lot of variety. Of course the carnivore options looked excellent as well

Steve An

The Cotechino alone is worth the visit and the Reibekuchen is just plain awesome. I am bummed the Schweinhaxe is only served during the summer. Good bier selections, too. 

Jake Smith

For apps, the pretzel is an obvious choice (tread carefully with the mustard , it packs a punch), but the pierogies are a pleasantly delicious surprise if you're looking for another small plate .

Jessica Fjeld

Carefully executed German classics and an all-around great bar program from beer to cocktails . Love this place.

Chris Patti

The giant pretzel and amazing German beer selection are not he missed. Also, the Wagyu beef sauerbraten is pretty darn good :-)

Gloria Chin

get the Knödel (bacon bread dumpling , fiddlehead purée), Blutnudeln (Trentino blood pasta , spring onion , citrus ), and Kaiserschmarrn (the Kaiser's pancake )

Jessica Hiemenz

They carry a great vegan appetizer (cabbage salad ) and vegan entree for the vegetarians and vegans ! Super friendly service too!

Stephanie

Entrees were meh, but get a pretzel , use the mustard , get the potato salad , and pop back a beer . Great date right there.

Steve Pomeroy

Even though the restaurant focuses on meat, there are a good number of vegetarian small plates . The beer soup is delicious.

Bryan Cole

Step 1: Order a Haus Liter... it will make you look impressive. Step 2: Order a pretzel , it will help you breathe. Step 3: Don't bother trying to save room for dessert .

Todd Bida

With the sad closure of Jacob Worth in Boston’s theater District, this is one of the few Bavarian style restaurants in Boston. Do not bother. Heavy greasy food!

Kris Ellis-Levy

Go as a group so you can share Spatezel and the Grand Wurst platter . All the sausage is made in house and tastes wonderful.

David Taylor

Schnitzel and biscuit is amazing, paired with a Schneider Weisse

Sofia Papastamelos

I loved the mulled wine and apple cider in the winter time. Hits the spot.

Daniel Lilly

Great selection of European beers and authentic , delicious if often heavy food.

Joshua Eddy

The house-made wurst trio platter (coriander kielbasa , cotechino , and bratwurst ).

Cesar Calderon

Giant pretzel , a variety of wurst , and German beer ... What else one could ask for? #InHeaven

Adam Sigel

Start with the pretzel . Then get the haxe. Everything else is up to you but those two are required eating.

Barbara Kallas

The pretzel , schnitzel , and doughnuts were all amazing.

Brian Manning

Great beers and a nice little outside seating area .

Rebecca M

Wurst ! Und trinken ftw! Great cocktails w rarer ingredients

Tatiana Borovikova

This is the worst German food you could imagine. Maybe if you did not try real German food , you think those "funny" dishes they serve is German. It does not deserve a try. Beer and interior are good.

Steve Schnelwar

Rest and drunk all of the things, and when you're full ask for underberg

Bijan Sabet

The warm. jelly filled donut and chocolate sauce is out of this world

Josh Olsen

Great beer list & awesome soft pretzels

Rob Brown

Great food, not as good as in Germany but the closest I've found in the area

Brendan O'Leary

I thought the portions would be bigger! German food should have big German portions!

Kay Patterson

A fun place to go. A little pricey . Restrooms are unmarked which I found a little weird...

Mayee

Killer trio sausage platter . Go!

Jeremy Krantz

Great, rotating craft beer selection here.

Mayee

Love the food but they need to work on that blah Bloody Mary .

Peep Clarp

Get the hausliter – a full liter of beer !

Kevin Coutu

Great German food at a not so great price

Philipp .

Prix Fixe Menu was excellent

Ravi Kumar

Delicious food! You should try it!!

Margaret Myers

They will do a vegan brunch if you ask

Shaniece Singleton

Get the sweet bread !! And a Vier!

Laurens Lateman

Cold Wurst Platter if you are into cold cuts , otherwise Pfannkuchen

Daniel Tewfik

You would be an absolute fool if you didn't get the Berliner.

cellokris

Leave room for the German Chocolate Cake !

Cynthia B.

Beer is good but ambiance could be better. They didn't even have German music on the background. A bit disappointing.

Will Crocker

Delicious. Try the donut dessert .
