Das Schnitzel Haus

Went for lunch on 1−31−16 with four others and we all selected our choices. The server was warm and friendly despite the place being very busy. We all loved our meals. The food was served hot, very tasty, ample quantity, and plated beautifully. Love the place and will certainly return. The owner/​cook greeted us after we had eaten and asked how we enjoyed our meals. Very nice touch.

A group of us visited on a very, very busy Saturday evening. Parking was minimal. There was a 45 minute standing wait next to tables which were full of dinners and the line progressed out the door. The hostess appeared overwhelmed and lacked organization with taking names or seating correctly in order of arrival. It also seemed as though people who went in the patio entrance were able to seat themselves. Our male server was pleasant and attentive. Our dinners were great; we all had the veal schnitzel. The beer … delicious. The only food complaint: sauerkraut balls $ 7.50 for 4 were cold on the inside. I would definitely go again!

We came here right during the dinner rush on a Saturday night. We didn’t think it was going to be that busy, but we were wrong. The hostess was running around frantically seating people, serving food and taking peoples’ names. We waited about 40 mins to finally be seated. The server was nice and I got the jaeger schnitzel, which has mushroom gravy on top. All schnitzels come with two sides of your choice so I chose red cabbage and spätzle. The red cabbage was pretty delicious and although I’ve never had spätzle before, it was buttery and similar to pasta. Although the schnitzel was good, it was salty and pretty heavy. I couldn’t finish both pieces on my plate.
Most people walk out of this place with big takeout containers, so be prepared for the big portions when ordering.

I desperately want to give this visit a 5 star, but we were seated in the covered patio area this time, and I literally feel sick. I may call city hall tomorrow and ask them to check out this room. It was literally 90° with no air movement. We asked many, many times for them to turn off the fireace, or at least open a damned window.
The good was good, but the experience was miserable. The only one in our party who was comfortable was my 88 yr old father who is always cold.

My family and I have been here twice and both times it the experience was amazing! Fantastic customer service and amazing food. It is a small and very busy place so its best to have a reservation.
I can’t wait to go back again!

Ordered the chicken paprikash and it was awful. The chicken looked and tasted like it was canned and the spaetzel was boiled and not fried at all so it was soggy. The flavor was off and the sauce was very thin. For a restaurant that takes pride in being a good ethnic place it’s not for chicken paprikash. Also ordered the chicken schnitzel that comes in the lemon sauce, the sauce had no flavor and the chicken wasn’t seasoned. Again soggy spaetzel. We were so so disappointed and are still looking for a neighborhood place that makes good paprikash.

Wow, this place is fantastic.
The hold back on the 5 stars is just a few small items; but the food I outstanding.
So, bad news first. They never brought a beir list as asked and the interior, while comfy and warm is a little too dated.
For the positives, the food is about as authentic as you are going to find anywhere. I lives in Germany for 5 years and this is pretty dang close. They have a pretty good menu selection without going over board and making things too complicated. Keeping it simple and focused serves them well.
The schnitzels und wurst plates are perfect. They will seem expensive on the initial glance, but the portions are big and the flavor is spot on. The pasta and cabbage is worth eating on its own. The sauerkraut is amazing. The potato salad is German, but it is sweet. I am not sure of the region. My wife loved it, I did not.
Great place for friends and family. No need to scream over the noise.

WTF!!! I haven’t reviewed this yet!!!
Well, let’s get this done. I’m not going to get all wordsy or long winded here…
If you love ethnic European food i.e. Schnitzel or Paprikash then you NEED to try Das Schnitzel Haus !! Period. The end.
No, seriously, what the hell are you waiting for? This has got to be the best Schnitzel in CLE. Hands down! This time I had the Jeagar Schnitzel and the wife had Veal Paprikash. Both were AMAZING!!!
If you don’t try this place, too bad. You’ve been told what you’re missing.

Wow, the pork schnitzel was delicious. I was worried at first about the kraut because it had caraway seeds. But I didn’t need to worry, the kraut was phenomenal. My husband had the smoked sausage and he loved it. We live about 40 minutes away, but we will be back.

The food is wonderful. The portions are huge. Really a comprehensive beer list of Eastern European countries. We had a kind, competent waiter who was accurate with everyone’s order despite it being very busy. The room is cheery but not upscale… fine with me. The bread is incredibly wonderful. Everyone at the table had a schnitzel and all were happy. (Strange to see it garnished with orange instead of lemon, but there must be a reason for it.) Next time, I’m going for the potato pancakes as my main dish, they were THAT good.

I was craving chicken paprikash for weeks and finally found somewhere that had it! I’m so happy I actually gave this place a shot.
The exterior of the restaurant is super cute and so is the inside. They have an awesome patio section which would be great for the summer unfortunately it was too cold so we sat inside. Our waitress was very friendly and prompt! We ordered pork skewers for an app and thought 7 bucks was a bit much for just two but they were pretty good. They give you complimentary bread which is DELICIOUS! So then my boyfriend ordered the hungarian goulash and I order my paprikash. The portions were huge! I had dinner, a late night snack and then breakfast from one plate of it. I’ll definitely be back asap.

Usually, when I eat as much food as I did at this place, I am filled with a looming feeling of regret. All I was filled with after my meal here was happiness… and a lot of beer. It’s been two days since visiting Das Schnitzel Haus, and I am still munching on delicious German leftovers.
The building itself is quaint and cottage-​like; the inside is definitely welcoming and cozy. The beer list isn’t huge, but it’s full of some of the best beer you can get locally. I opted for a Hefeweiss, and it was one of the best I’ve had. My eyes lit up as the server brought out a towering glass of beer with the perfect amount of foam. For just $ 5, I was expecting a pint. The rest of my party were really happy with their beers as well.
The food itself isn’t fancy; it’s stick-​to-​your-​ribs comfort food. I ordered the pork schnitzel with spatzels and german potato salad. The dish came with two nicely flattened pieces of pork that were about the size of my head each. The spatzels were light and buttery, and the german potato salad had the perfect balance of tangy and starchy. I did also get to try a bite of the chicken paprikash, and even though I had my own meal to admire, I was wishing I had room for two. The service wasn’t top-​notch, but it was prompt. The server did forget a few items, but their absence was easily forgotten when we all started biting into the food. Trust me, the food and portions will make up for any errors or delays in service.

Cant go wrong with Saurkraut balls. I had the veal sandwich and it was delicious. I also had the seafood salad as a starter and the shrimp was very fresh. The house warsteiner was delicious. I will be back!

First (as always ;) duh) beer! I’ll go for the beer alone!
Next, apps. I had the pierogies, 2 potato 2 sauerkraut. 4 good pierogies!
They have a semi enclosed patio which in northeast Ohio is always nice to enjoy when weather permits.
When I return with my wallet and more than $ 10 (thanks to my friend for picking up my slack) I’ll be ordering a, what I’m sure will be, delicious German entrée!
Prost!

Atmosphere was inviting and server was friendly but the service was very slow and inattentive. We were seated immediately upon arrival but it was over 10 minutes before we were offered a beverage and the server seldom checked with us to see how our meal was going. After we received the bill we waited over 20 minutes for her to return to collect payment, we finally had to go up to the host so we could pay, the server never came back to our table to take our payment. Once our orders were placed it was over 30 minutes before our food was served. The Turkey Ruben lacked flavor but was still ok. My husband had the Chicken Paprikash, the sauce/​gravy was more of a mushroom base than a sour cream base but the dumplings were cooked perfectly and the chicken fell off the bone.
I’ve heard only good reviews about Das Schnitzel Haus so I am willing to give it another chance.

Great German restaurant in Cleveland. The Goulash is excellent… The beef just falls apart. Pork & Veal Schnitzel are both good and recommend.
There are 3 great choices for German cuisine in Cleveland and this is one of them.

Had the veal paprikas, perogies and 2 on tap beers. You know when you first see a place and finally eat there for the first time you have expectations. This place was better than i ever could of dreamed of. I love this place. Try it. You will not be disapointed.

My wife asked to eat fish fry Friday night at Das Schnitzel Haus. I couldn’t argue with that seeing as I’ve been jonesing for some Wienerschnitzel and she their cod. My parents joined us and off we went.
We ordered some Warsteiner Dunkelweiss beer, which is seasonal. Its cold, unfiltered, light beer and it was delicious. I wanted to compare it to their normal Warsteiner Dunkelbrau, so I ordered one of those next. I have to say I liked the Dunkelweiss better, but both are good selections.
We ordered some mussels and potato pancakes as an appetizer. The mussels were probably 3 out of 5 stars. I didn’t find them to be remarkable and that’s okay by me because they were not the reason for our visit. The potato pancakes were yummy, especially when dipped in the side of apple sauce. My dad ordered the stuffed cabbage and mashed potatoes. My mom and wife both ordered their cod fish dinner. I, of course, ordered the Wienerschnitzel with a side of gravy and mushrooms ($ 3.00 extra).
Once again, my Wienerschnitzel was cooked perfectly and the breading was excellently glued to the flattened veal. It was served piping hot. So good and so filling!
I tasted my dad’s stuffed cabbage and it was just okay. He really liked it, but he did not realize it was served with kraut, which he does not like. Mom and wife loved their fish dinners, but I couldn’t help notice the portion was a bit small. It would be awesome if they three an extra fish filet on the plate and a few more fries.
Love this place and I will be back!

Yes, they have authentic German food here. I dined here many years ago and was not impressed, but I heard they improved so I came back. I ordered the jäger schnitzel. It’s not exactly like the schnitzel I used to get back in Bavaria but it was a suitable substitute.
I ordered the full dinner portion of the schnitzel for lunch and ate the whole thing no problem. It came with good bread, sauerkraut, and home fries. I also downed a tall glass of very good German weissebier. My wife had the lunch portion of chicken paprikasch which she thoroughly enjoyed. Everything was delicious.

Carb Party!
This place is awesome! I love the atmosphere — it’s so cozy and warm.
I can say, in the absence of hyperbole, that the warm, crusty bread with butter they served before our entrees was literally the best thing I’ve ever tasted.
Save room for dessert! We shared a slice of Black Forest Cake, and we both contracted diabetes on the spot, but it was worth it.
