Revelers hungry for Old World flavors, tall mugs of beer and plenty of "oompah" are right at home at Hofbrauhaus where they can join the live German beer hall- and polka-style music party. You can even buy lederhosen is the gift shop!!! Las Vegas has captured the ribald spirit of the place - steins held high, singing along with the zesty band pumping out tunes to fill the cavernous space. And of course the spanking!!! If you have to ask then you need to just GO!
You'll find old world favorites such as sauerbraten; an oven-roasted pork shank with red apple kraut; Bavarian sausage loaf, and a marinated sausage salad. Our appetizer was the Kartoffelpuffer - a trio of crisp-edged, thick yet fluffy potato pancakes, offered with a small crock of applesauce and a side of sour cream. I ordered Jagerschnitzel (a fun word to say) - a savory large pork cutlet covered in a blanket of creamy mushroom sauce. It was paired with delicious spaetzle. My friend had the Hofbrauhaus Wurstplatte (a sausage sampler served with sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and German mustard) and proclaimed it to be very good. Overall, I have had much better german food elsewhere. This was not as authentic and ultimately didn't seem made with care but mass produced.
