Best German Food in SoCal?
Jun 8 2020 08:52PM more by NPembrush
Tags: Orange County, Leisure (All tags)

I know there's the campy but fun little Germany in Westminster.

I'm told from a couple of my Bavarian friends that the Hofbrauhaus in Las Vegas is probably the closest you can get to authentic this side of the US.

@GE It's my thing, don't knock it At least I didn't ask about the best place to find Haggis--the most god awful thing ever made no matter how many ways my friends from Scotland decry it to be.
or...Durian. Respect to those who love it. No respect to Haggis.

Old World Village on Center Drive & Gothard in Huntington Beach --- right by GWC ...



It's not my thing, so I cannot vouch for the taste nor ambiance, but the place is packed ...

I think the one Gina is thinking about is Rasselbock. It’s on Atlantic at Carson. Not a huge fan of German food, most that I’ve eaten was bland, but there’s is tasty. Good beer selection too.

If you're near Atlantic in Long Beach, head on over to the Bake N Broil, they'll make you anything you want... German included... One of the best restaurants ever

@hyder: Glad to hear the Red Lion is still around. I went there many years ago and liked it a lot, but never got a chance to go back. Next time I'm out in LA maybe I'll hit it up again.

What Reaper_1 said! I worked 35 years with a gentleman who immigrated from Germany when he was eight years old and I’ve been to both places mentioned. The Phoenix club by the Honda center Is a big establishment.

ANAHEIM The Mother Colony founded by Germans who arrived in 1857. There is the Phoenix Club located off Katella near Angels Stadium, authentic German food. Wurst and Brats, Smokey Beer, Beer made with burned hops, dark in color and tastes of smoke. If you can find it here in the US. A great German meal.

John F. K Kennedy once said, "Ich bin ein Berliner"

Minor problem, it means "I am a donut"

Funny guy, you know, Democrat President that would get laughed out of the room for being a racist mick who ain't woke and be accused of micro-aggressions against baked goods.

Someone already said Red Lion in LA. Old school place that smells of beer and sauerkraut. Get the sausage platter and potato pancakes. Enjoy with a Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse.

Don't forget Schreiners Deli in La Canada. (that might not be the correct spelling)
They have it all.
Roast Pork Hocks, 18 kinds of liverwurst, excellent german salads and to top it off, they make the weiners for Dodger Stadium.
