Cozy atmosphere with a nice selection of brews. The prime rib special was a good meal as was the filet . Cooked to perfection and delicious.
My family and I arrived at Steinkeller at 6:45pm on a Friday night and, with Oxford being a college town, we expected a wait. Our wait was 45 minutes which was much shorter than our wait for food.
When we got seated we made sure to order food at the same time as our drinks to save time. Drinks came fairly quickly, as did the app (fried calamari) and our 2-year-old's pasta dish; however, my wife's salad (a side salad w/ blue cheese) and my sandwich and fries (TIP: Do not upgrade to fries for $2.00) took forever.
When our food finally came it was long after the children had finished theirs, which may have been an issue if we didn't inhale our food in five minutes, plus it took a while to flag down our server (who had been noticeably crying multiple times before approaching our table) for a check.
Long story short we arrived at 6:45pm and left at 9:45pm! Unfortunately, we didn't experience any one thing that would be reason enough to try again during off-peak hours. The hostess was nice, that's about it, sadly. :/
Went on a slow Monday night. Clean restaurant, good beer selection and authentic menu. Our waitress was very quick and attentive, even made menu recommendations. Will be back as often as possible!
Great food! So glad we tried it! We will definitely come back. The potato pancakes were the best we've ever had.
Wednesday night is steak night at the Keller. I had a steak prepared just as ordered (rare--something no other Oxford restaurant seems to be able to do.) Comes with a choice of potato, an onion rings and a salad for under $14. Pair it with a great German beer!
Food, drink, service, and atmosphere were incredible. Locally sourced beef, extensive selection of imported German beers, and AWESOME potato pancakes!
Fantastic Holsteiner schnitzel. Really good, reasonably priced and great German beer selection. Definitely going back when we visit Oxford next.
Love this place too. Good German food, better beer. Great German beer.
Definitely wonderful food! Wednesday night is steak night for $15 which is a steal for the amount of food you get for It! The steak was amazing! The service is a little slow but with good friends you won't even notice!
Very authentic tasting German food on the menu in this place. It is in basement so beware your cell phone won't work. It was a small thing to note given the romantic old world setting you're in. Good drink specials and an excellent selection of authentic beer.
The brunch king Ludwig is very good, would highly recommend. My grandmother, who is German, did not like the potato pancakes. The service was very good and the ambiance is nice. Be aware there is no signal in the restaurant but they do have wifi.
Great local bar for a quick bite. My 90 yr old grandma likes Steinkeller for an early dinner before the college crowd arrives and I like their happy hour specials.
The barvarian pretzel was really good and great to split with a large group
