Reviews for Mecklenburg Gardens Restaurant in Cincinnati, OH

A real German restaurant. ???? With real Germans. And real German food. Don't forget the real German beer. Schnitzel was... excellent. The goulash was even better. The old photos and the old features of the dining area just enhanced the entireexperience. Read more

Lovely night out with friends from out of town. I didn?t take a a picture of mine but I had Veal Schnitzel which was awesome. My... boyfriend and friend had the mushroom spaetzl with grilled chicken and friends daughter had the Rueben and I was pleasantlysurprised that they didn?t mind leaving off sauerkraut and thousand island sauce. Jennifer was a great waitress! Loved the livemusic and being in the bier garden. Perfect night! Read more

Came here for dinner on a Wednesday. It was pretty slow, and got seated straight away. The server was outstanding, being the... perfect balance of attentive and unobtrusive. Very nice selection of beers, mostly German, of course. The menu was quitelimited, but still sufficient. Got the pretzel from the appetizer list, and it was fantastic! Largest pretzel I've ever seen. Came with beer cheese and mustard, which was nice to have and go back and forth between the two. The fish and chips were prettygood. Pretty generous portions, and I couldn't finish it all. The reuben was really good, too. Overall, it was a bit spendy,but worth it to sit in the oldest restaurant in Cinci. The history there is pretty incredible. Definitely worth the trip! Read more

Eat before you go. Beer was great. Online menu did not match what they hastily printed, but still didn't have on the plates. ... Fish sandwich was supposed to be on a rye bun with tartar sauce. Plain dull bun, no sauce. Burger was supposed to be handmade, patty was from Costco or someplace similar. Garlic aioli on the side sounded great on the menu but none was on the plate. And ordered a 4 or 5 dollar side of cole slaw, in the picture you can see what was brought. And no one ever checked on us. AT ALL. I get short staffed, but having to complain before paying that you didn't get what you ordered is a LOT late. Oh, andthe bartender didn't know the price of the beer! Read more

This was the best German food I have ever had and a charming atmosphere! Our waiter was nice, personable, and attentive and the... jaeger sauce on my pork schnitzel blew my mind it was so flavorful and delicious! Can't wait to come back the enxt time we arein Cincinnati. Tried goetta for the first time even! Read more

Delicious food! The waitress was fantastic! Everyone working there was very nice and attentive. We usually prefer to eat... outside, but it had been raining when we arrived and we're seated comfortably at a table indoors. Awesome food, service andhistorical experience! Read more

I love old traditional restaurants especially Ole school German restaurants and when you can tell and taste the reason why a... business last so long its always easy to see. The food,service and ambiance is top notch. The building in fun is a littledeceiving but once inside your transformed to the old school charm Read more

Service is slow. Food is okay. Go for the atmosphere of Zinzinnati's oldest restaurant and the outdoor seating available with... fire pits. At several different points after ordering they had to inform us that a dish or certain ingredient was out of stock.Ideally, the restaurant should let us know before ordering what items are not available. I would recommend the Currywurst for achild as it's basically sausages in ketchup. Read more
