Bavarian Grill
Find the largest selection of German Beer in North Texas at Bavarian Grill, a staple for German cuisine and homey vibes since 1993. You’ll find everything from schnitzels, wursts, rouladen, and sauerbraten to fresh seafood like salmon and trout, plus Bavarian comfort sides like spätzle, sauerkraut, and potato salad. Their rotating menus highlight traditions like white asparagus season, summer fest dishes, and game specials in the fall. Don’t skip the soups like goulash and cheesy Bavarian onion, or the freshly baked desserts like apple strudel and Black Forest cake! They even have a Stein Club with special perks, including a Bayerische Brotzeit, their take on happy hour or “Stein Hour”, Tuesdays through Fridays from 4pm to 7pm in the Biergarten.

Tucked away in a shopping center near White Rock Lake, you’ll find this modern taproom and growler bar! They have a small but mighty menu of German-style foods, like bratwurst, pretzels and beer cheese, potato salad and pancakes, and sausage and cheese boards for a little bit of everything. It’s great for vegetarians, too – they even have a vegan bratwurst! Wash it all down with 28 beers and 8 wines on tap, including local brews, classic German imports, and even wines from Austria.

Henk’s European Deli & Black Forest Bakery
This Dutch family-owned establishment has been loved by the Dallas community for nearly 31 years with its authentic Dutch-German Cuisine, sought-after bakery items and international groceries, and deli. It’s open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so grab a seat anytime in the cozy dining room with murals of Germany adorning the walls. The menu is quite extensive and has simple and authentic items like Dutch breakfast, bratwurst, and chicken schnitzel! You can also find authentic baked goods from the Black Forest Bakery, like Black Forest cakes (of course), Cheese Danishes, Apple Strudels, and Swiss Madras! This spot is also known to be Luka Doncic’s favorite restaurant in Dallas, though we know that’s a touchy subject now.

Jorg's Cafe Vienna
This old-world restaurant brings Austrian and German recipes and a lively beer garden to Historic Downtown Plano! You’ll instantly feel like you’ve been transported to a European beer hall with its dark woods and Bavarian memorabilia lining the walls. It’s the ultimate comfort food spot with a menu full of schnitzels and sausages and hearty specialties. Kick things off with pretzels, Liptauer cheese spread, or a wurst sampler before diving into classics like Wiener Schnitzel, Hungarian goulash, or the Austrian Butcher’s Plate. Traditional sides like spätzle, sauerkraut, and braised red cabbage round out the meal, and the desserts like apple strudel or Sacher Torte are a must-try. Of course, you’ll want a beer (or two) with your meal – we recommend the Helles Lager, the most popular beer in Germany!

Kuby’s Sausage House
This 60-year-old German sausage house was named one of the best butcheries in the country! The owner, Karl Kuby, was born in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and comes from generations of sausage makers since the 1700s. When he arrived in Dallas, he opened up his own meat market, wanting to show Texas the fine sausages and specialty meats that he enjoyed growing up. In the market, you’ll find 80 different types of sausage and meat products made in-house, all made with Kuby’s family recipes. For a more sit-down vibe, there’s also a German restaurant serving all three meals, with the most popular dish being the Wurst Teller (homemade sauerkraut, hot German potato salad, and red cabbage).
