Hofbräu is praised for its delicious traditional German food, great ambiance, and friendly service. Diners enjoy the wide selection of beers and unique menu items. However, one review mentioned an issue with being charged for the wrong menu item, suggesting a need for careful attention to orders.
"We came here for the Rauchbier and the vegan options. Btw, the Rauchbier ist sehr gut! The staff are incredibly friendly (and very busy) and made sure we had beers and great food. My husband had the Veganes rotes GEMÜSEcurry (referenced as spicy but it isn’t) and I had the Veganes Gemüse-RATATOUILLE. Das schmeckt gut! We loved it all and were super thankful for the vegan options!"
