I happen to love the Hofbrauhaus. I bring my family and friends here every time they come into town.
Some people like to hate on the haus because it's food isn't super authentic and it's clientele is often frat-tastic, popped collars and all. I look beyond that and see the good beer served in giant mugs, guys dressed in lederhosen playing music, and in my opinion very good food.
Beer:
Hofbrauhaus only servers their own beers to you only have a choice of their 4 main beers the Lager, Light Lager, Hefeweizen, and Dunkel. They also have a different specialty beer every month so when you go back you have something different to try.
Food:
I happen to really like their food. I have had several of their dishes and have liked all of them. I have always received good service and the food quality and preparation has always been consistent.
What's not to like. You will have fun when you go here, end of story.
