I have been coming here after a Saturday morning hike in Forest Park. The food has always been spot on and the German beer selection is great. The one thing that keeps me coming back is the staff, so nice and always makes sure I have what a need.

Really awesome spot to find, right across the street from Cathedral Park in St. John's! Attached to Occidental brewing in a really nondescript building. Up the stairs you will find the biergarten. Really awesome German bar and incredibly delicious German food. I ordered the vegan wurst which came with sauerkraut and mustard and the chicken Jägerschnitzel. The mushrooms and sauce on the schnitzel was so good, the schnitzel itself was perfectly cooked. The vegan wurst was surprisingly delicious. I don't eat beef so I was trying the other options and was happy with the flavor of the vegan wurst and was pleasantly surprised with the menu having vegan options in the first place. Great beer menu and a liquor selection that's great as well. Can't wait to come back in the warmer months and enjoy the deck in the sunshine. The bartender was a very friendly girl who was happy to serve us. You bus your own table, and they have water for dog bowls.

We were craving German food on a date night and decided to check this place out. It was amazing! The inside is very charming with lots of German/Bavarian decor. Our waitress was awesome and went out of her way to make our evening special (she brought us a romantic candle when we told her it was date night and then she stuck candles in our dessert when she found out it was our anniversary). The food was so good! We started with the Poutine, for dinner I had Chicken Jaegerschnitzel, and my husband got the Duo Wurstplate (German Bratwurst and Bavarian Bierwurst) with pommes frites, then ended with the Applestrudel. It was all so great, we will certainly be back!

I love this place whenever I go. The only complaint is if you tip on a full meal you're not really getting anything for the tip because the staff never checks up on you and you have to bus your own table.

This spot makes me want to visit Germany again. We got the (very) large pretzel special and the chicken schnitzel. The portion were huge. You order at the bar, so the service is limited. But it feels like a little beer hall and the beers were good. We will be back!

Fantastic food, amazing beer, and unparalleled service. There is a breathtaking view of St. John's Bridge as well. My wife and I ordered a Pretzelwurst and a Sausage plate. There was a miscommunication when it came out but they made it right despite a busy rush going on. I will definitely be coming back, probably with friends! Megan helped us out!

We loved the dog friendly patio! I had the pork jaegerschnitzel with spatzle. The pork was nicely breaded and very tasty. (Swimming in mushroom gravy.) The spatzle looked more like little noodles... not the spatzle of my childhood, but still was pretty good. The portion size was generous. Order at the counter, receive a number, and then take a seat. The food came out promptly. The husband enjoyed his wurstplatte... with "ok" German potato salad. We are used to cubed potatoes in our German potato salad. The wurst was flavorful but didn't pack as much spice as one expected. The sauerkraut was good. Our friend enjoyed his wurstplatte with pommes frites and sauerkraut. The frites were beer battered and perhaps some of the best french fries any of us have ever enjoyed anywhere!!!! Sadly, our dinner party does not enjoy beer but it looked like folks around us were enjoying large steins of beer. If you're craving German food, this place will certainly meet your needs.

What's not to love about Urban German. The atmosphere is very German pub. it's fun to sit drinking a Rothaus Pils and look at all the pictures and advertisements the owner has brought from Germany. We bring my mother in law for lunch on the regular because she is full German and says Urban German is the only authentic German restaurant left in PDX area ...beside Edelweiss Sausage & Delicatessen which, is more of a deli. My mother in law is actually Heidi whose mustard is sold at Edelweiss. When at Urban German we ordered a JAGERSCHNITZEL and a Schnitzel sandwich. Heidi loves it and says it's authentic just like she would make it. The mushroom gravy is delicious and the spatzle is cooked perfectly. We also love that the chef makes his own sausage. The food and service is consistently on point.
