I love that place.The schwarzbier that they import in kegs is sooooo good. Went there as part of a bachelors party. I remember we got the King's Platter but enough for like 10 people and potato pancakes for the vegetarians among us. My memory is hazy on this because we were going though the boots like crazy, lol!
Such a great place to go to & eat & be entertained too!! We adore German food but it does fill you up!! Awesome menus& bakery & shop. We must visit here in the future!
I was just looking at your one about Saint Augustine. i know this restaurant I think I’ve eaten here at least a half a dozen times.. I’ll give this place a big thumbs up
Looks like a neat place to bring visitors to FL. Not just good food, but entertainment, too! Bakery looked stinkin good. Loved your added sound effect with that stinkin good stamp! 🤣
Awesome review! I lived in Germany for 4 years and if I was with you I would have recommended what you ordered only a with a litre of draft German bier.
I have like 3 lbs of their beer cheese in my freezer, it’s so good. I grab the soft pretzels from Publix as the fresh pretzel hollerbach/willow tree don’t hold up as well. Never had a bad meal there, brought my coworkers from out of state once, every time they come back….they want to go to Hollarbach.
Hello from Hamburg, Germany. This is going to be a long one, ha ha. First off, You guys are so nice and kind. It was amazing to see that you found only positive phrases and really enjoyed your visit at the Hollerbach's restaurant. That's the most important point. - I wish that people would stop calling restaurants like this "German" because all I saw is pseudo-Bavarian decoration. Bavaria is just 1 out of 16 federal states. You won't find most of what you see in this clip in any of the 15 other German states. Especially my Northern identity, culture, and cuisine gets regularly neglected which drives me so mad. Talking about "German cuisine" I must remark that Germany has the most Michelin star restaurants (just after our neighbor France) that offer expensive German high cuisine like venison, game, boar, and others. You never ever see that in any of these videos about "typical German food" but only regional dishes from Southern Germany. It sucks so much. Where are our stews, fish dishes, soups, seasonal dishes like kale? The funniest thing is that the Hollerbach family is from Kyllburg, a town in the state of Rhineland Palatinate, near the border to Luxemburg/Belgium. They have nothing at all to do with how they decorated their restaurant in more or less Bavarian style, serving only silly stereotypes. They come from a distinct wine region (Germany is Europe's 4th largest producer of wine, not only Riesling btw) with a hearty cuisine of their own but they offer nothing from where they came from. How strange is that. Then, I was irritated by the menu. There are a number of dishes that are not German at all. I had to look up what a "Reuben" is; a warm sandwich from the Jewish community in New York. It's unknown in Germany; why do they sell it in their "German" restaurant? Dijon mustard is French; Germany has many own varieties of mustard. Swiss cheese is obviously Swiss, not German. We produce numerous kinds of cheese, too. Cajun sausages come from Louisiana, I guess? What is Bierkuchen, I wonder? It must be their invention. They're not offering any "beer sauce" at least, do they? This is what I got in all of the ~10 "German" restaurants I visited so far in the US and Canada. I even have a short clip on how to eat a pretzel in Germany about it - namely without a dip, beer sauce, or sweet mustard that is reserved for white sausages only. And the last one: "German chocolate cake" has nothing to do with Germany (although we have chocolate cakes here, too). The American who invented it was called Samuel German, a guy with British ancestry. The prices Hollerbach's ask for are somewhat strange to me. I even looked up their website. For the Sauerbraten, they charge $ 20.79 but for the Giant Bavarian pretzel appetizer (You never arrange it like they do it on a plate ...), they want $ 24.89, Jesus Christ. Telling from the picture in the menu, their Sauerbraten looks good to me, and in 2024, something around $ 30.00 would be justified if you get more red cabbage and Spätzle if you want. A reasonable price for the Riesen-Brezel with a little something would be like $ 5.00. That single Bratwurst with a small cup of mustard looked so sad! You would never ever get it like that at any restaurant in Germany. - Their supermarket sells a lot of unauthentic crap along with well-known authentic German products. Way more expensive than in Germany but that's ok because they have to import all the articles. Their bakery actually was the section that looked the best to me. I recognized many typical German pastries and cakes (some Americanized items, but this is due to local demand, I understand). They looked good indeed and the prices seemed reasonable. - So, to sum it up: No, Hollerbach's isn't like "vacation in Europe" and it's certainly not authentic "German" but as I said: As long as you and others enjoy their stay there, I'm happy for you and I'm fine with it. This video was a lot of fun to watch for me, all in all. Thank you and Grüße aus Deutschland.
Hello! Thanks for all the information! I think the big thing over here is a lot of these types of restaurants are very Americanized. Every type of restaurant that comes from another country will more than likely have an American twist to it. It does make sense because a lot of Americans are used to certain styles of food and it just kind of caught on. It would be really cool to see some of those items you mentioned on some menus around here though, so we can get the full experience of trying some authentic things. Prices over here keep going up so it’s hard to find a cheap option. We did enjoy the experience and have been back since but I definitely understand where you are coming from as well. Thanks for watching the video!
Wow. Why bother criticism in such a long message. I couldn't even read it all. My grandfather was from Germany. Enjoy life the way it is man. Don't be so depressed.
@@deeheart9988 You haven't understood that I'm not depressed at all but put some effort into a review. You couldn't even read it all but post a reply. Find the error. Have a good day!
Greetings!! Approximately a year ago I had the opportunity to visit Germany. Most restaurants in the regions I visited often had live music during dinner hour from 5 - 8 pm. Each musician wore lederhosen. The food was absolutely delicious!! 😋 ❤
We were just their on Father's Day. Had a nice time and the meal was very good. I had the bratwurst on this visit. I really like their Weiner Schnitzel which I've had on previous visits.
We go there every week. Friendly staff and Owners and Great German food. The Best.Get everything.. Go to their Market on the corner , when going out turn left market on the corner. . Das Ruebenstein my fav.Great video. Thank you.
I know I am late to this video, but my wife and I love ! We love German food, have German heritage, and are so glad to see such an extensive German restaurant, market, and deli available in Central Florida! Once we move there, we will be sure to visit, eat and shop there! PS. The Spaetzle (German pasta) is basically made with eggs, flour, water and salt...And it is pronounced schpets lah. Thank you both!
This was one of the last places I ever took my beloved late mother out to eat. My mom was of second generation Italian descent so, she was a little critical.😄 But I thought the food was delicious.😊
But, did they have Glier's goetta (made exclusively in Covington, KY)? I especially enjoy the hot (spicy) variety. It is good cooked thin & crispy with either regular syrup or KARO.
They get it in Cincinnati too., but I think that’s a pioneer thing, German immigrants made it on farms because they had a little meat. Leftover scrap some meat and they blended it in with oatmeal and then Texas. They blended it in with cornmeal and called it scraple.
One of my cousins makes it and add a bit of black pepper in it to make it spicier, really good. Not spicy like Indian or Mexican food though, but that’s fine
😂Never seen a Restaurant like this in Germany. I think nobody of my friends or people i know would like to go there. For me, as a German, it more like a Disney scenerie. Some of the dishes don’t exist in Germany.
@@thealtemlife I used to live in Germany, and many of the dishes at this restaurant are the same as in Germany. I lived in Southwest Germany , so some of those dishes may be more similar to the ones in the restaurant than the other commenter.
As a German this is not German at all this is Bavarian a part of germany but its funny that all american think that germany is like this😂 Try Schwarzwälderkirschtorte
We knew you would like Hollerbachs. It is one of our favorites in Central Florida. Thanks for showing it!
Yes thank you! It was so fun. We enjoyed it!
This is my town! We love Hollerbach's!!
Awesome! Glad you enjoy it, too!

Haha what a memory! Thanks for sharing the fun time. Sounds like you guys had a blast!
This feels like a small Dorffest. Pretty cool. Greetings from Germany
Hello! Thanks for checking out the video!
What a cool place. Such fun! There is a nice German restaurant in. Mt Dora too. Thanks guys!!
Awesome! We will have to try the Mount Dora one sometime. Thanks for sharing!
I tried the Mt Dora one also, but in my opinion, the Sanford one is much better
Agreed on Sanford being the better
Such a great place to go to & eat & be entertained too!! We adore German food but it does fill you up!! Awesome menus& bakery & shop. We must visit here in the future!
If you love German food, you will love it! For sure give it a try!
I was just looking at your one about Saint Augustine. i know this restaurant I think I’ve eaten here at least a half a dozen times.. I’ll give this place a big thumbs up
Sweet! It’s a fun one! Definitely worth going back and eating some more!
Went there with our son’s family for his birthday. First time at a German restaurant , it didn’t disappoint. Would love to go back .❤️😊
Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!
Looks like a neat place to bring visitors to FL. Not just good food, but entertainment, too! Bakery looked stinkin good. Loved your added sound effect with that stinkin good stamp! 🤣
They sure know how to do it right! Haha thanks!
We have wanted to try this restaurant. Now I know it’s a must.
It was great! We are glad we were able to go to it!
Awesome review! I lived in Germany for 4 years and if I was with you I would have recommended what you ordered only a with a litre of draft German bier.
Oh sweet! Thanks for sharing that. It was a great spot and glad we orders the right stuff!

Awesome! That sounds like a good idea to have their cheese at home. We really enjoy it. Glad all the coworkers do, too!

I ate for dessert that apple strudel, and it was really delicious and authentic
Awesome! We really enjoyed the place!

Oktoberfest in Munich vibes! 🍺 🤪😂 Great fun!
Oh bet that is fun! That would be cool to attend!
Need to drink a good German beer with the pretzel.
That’s true! Not sure which one to get!
A good Hefeweizen would be perfect.
This was one of the last places I ever took my beloved late mother out to eat. My mom was of second generation Italian descent so, she was a little critical.😄 But I thought the food was delicious.😊
Haha at least you got a story to tell! Glad you had a good time. It is a fun atmosphere!
Interestingly the only German restaurant I’ve ever been to was in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, China. It was called Bamberg Brauhaus.
Oh that is interesting!
In case you didn’t understand that song, they’re basically singing a drinking song and toasting to each other.
Thanks for the info! We aren’t too familiar with German stuff so we appreciate it!
In any German restaurant, always try the schnitzel and spaetzle.
That’s good to know! Thank you!
Thank you that look great
You are welcome! It was good!
anytime i see this type of ambiance I think of Biergarden at Epcot lol The prices certainly remind me of Disney. $$
We will be trying that one sometime soon! We have heard it’s really good!
That's hilarious. It looks so fun, thanks for sharing... thank goodness they didn't have a grilled cheese on the menu 😆
Haha thanks for watching! I was about to ask if they can make one 🤣 but we ended up going with the full German experience!
Wow impressive. Very big menu and everything seemed authentic minus the Ruben thing 😂
Thank you! It was a really cool place worth the visit!
But, did they have Glier's goetta (made exclusively in Covington, KY)? I especially enjoy the hot (spicy) variety. It is good cooked thin & crispy with either regular syrup or KARO.
Not sure what that is but sounds good!

Ausgezeichnetes Restaurant 👌
Had to translate this haha! It was a great spot! We have a video coming up soon that we think you will like!
Nice ! Not Sure About The $34.00 Ruben LOL
Haha there are some pricey items but all very good!
I love the Wiener Schnitzel. Great entertainment. Lively place.
Awesome! It was a fun atmosphere!
Yep, that was American way of saying it. The A in German is pronounced ah unless there’s two dots over it.
Thanks!
