| - This was a second visit to the Hofbrauhaus, and was one place we knew we would get seated without a long wait on a Friday night in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere inside is a beer hall, with all the accompanying noise and liveliness, but we chose the terrace because it was a beautiful summer evening, and we would have a view of the river. The food is hearty, ample and amazing. For starters four of us split "The Works" sampler, which I highly recommend: soft pretzels with beer cheese, potato pancakes with applesauce, fried pickles with ranch dressing, and sauerkraut balls with honey mustard. Whoops, just had to wipe the drool off my keyboard. Wursts, schnitzels, and meats oh my. The fare is pretty authentic German with a few items thrown in for the hipster or pickier eaters in your group. Not surprisingly there is a great beer selection. A fun place to go.
