the bavarian - chermside

the staff and food were amazing. the servings are huge. we have never had a bad meal here and will come back again.

we were looked after immensely as soon as we approached the door, the staff and manager had the best service we have seen on a very long time. the food was great and couldn’t fault one thing. service was quick aswell. i’ve always had to ask for a tray to take my food home (when needed) but the staff member came up and asked if we needed one which i thought was great and that never happens! my family will definitely be coming back. 5 stars all round!!!! thank you for looking after us and making it a memorable and personal experience!

despite making reservations we still waitrd 15 minutes to be seated. waited an hour for a drink after reminding 3 different servers that i still hadn't received it. waited 1hr 45min for our meals which all came out at different times. some cold. half of our group (of 8) received and finished their meals before the rest of our group received theirs. the food was less than average and gave me an upset stomach.

absolutely amazing atmosphere and amazing staff!! food was delicious and the drinks were so enjoyable!! came here for my friend’s birthday and we had so much fun!!!

had an amazing time will definitely be back. i have never been disappointed! this place always makes my day so much better.

looked promising but the menu system was lengthy albeit innovative. the surcharges indicate the management are not up to pricing correctly i.e. card charges and "staff working on sundays" should be incorporated into costs thus giving the diner a fuss free experience. the meals/menu could be found at any local pub for better value and the beer menu was lacking for a bavarian theme with some of the menu beers not even available. staff were pleasant enough but we didn't pay premium price to have our drinks server picking is nose and serving without cleaning his hands. in summary, the food was ok for pub food but overpriced for sure. you will find a better valued venue within 15 metres of the bavarian. as foodies, i doubt we will be back here. appreciate the effort though.

the bavarian’s new table service via ordering from your mobile phone is great! food and drinks came quickly and everything was incredible. thanks team!

we love the pretzels

we came here for father’s day and we were super pleased! i ordered the chicken cacciatore sausages with fries and my partner ordered the steak. i asked for some aioli on the side but they gave me mustard instead (i had it anyway - mustard is fine) and the only other thing i can really complain about was i felt the portion sizes were much too large. my partner enjoyed his steak however it was a bit too rare. we highly appreciated the $50 voucher as the father’s day gift from them and will definitely use it. :)

i have never complained about a meal before ,,17/8/19 , arvo. 
ordered fish and chips, and the fish was horrid , watery tasteless , , so i when asked how my meal was , told the staff the above , was told the fish is fresh and filleted in the kitchen , told them this is like frozen basa , c-rap , then he said he doesn't eat fish ……... for $25 on a bare plate with some chips , then the manager came by , by chance  and asked how our meal was,,,,,and told him the same , was then asked what i wanted ,, i said for no one else to be served this garbage and get you act together , he then offered  to sort things out and would come back and attend to it , never did , paid our outrages bill  , went home , i was sick and my wife was unwell , the toilet was busy  disappointed is an understatement .

have been here a few times and the servings are quite large. came here when they had the 50% off the set menu offer, and it was just ok. the choices of the set menu were limited. the apple strudel had obviously been cut in half, and served with melted ice cream so that was quite disappointing. i definitely would not have paid full price for the set menu, not worth $49.

did not have a great experience, all their beer taps were not working and no alternative. food was also average. definitely no eagle street bavarian

what’s not to like about about warm salty pretzels, 2 litre table top beers and giant slabs of crispy pork belly?

add in lots of big screen televisions and a menu that won’t break the bank and you’ve got a winner.

a very good example of a very bad restaurant!!!

i have never left a negative review in my life and i do realize that this is not a michelin starred restaurant, but dear me, i also think that you can expect some sort of standard when you go out to eat. unfortunately, the standard at this restaurant was very poor. where do i start? well, one of the waitresses/ supervisor (guessing) took us to our table, within few minutes we placed our order. the meals arrived, which was incorrect, they forgot the saurkraut on my partners plate and they gave me fries instead of mash potato. we had to try very hard to get her attention and certainly, the food was cold by then. few seconds later our meal is back again. still cold, and i get the mash that was on my partners plate under her pork sausages. i, strictly don’t eat pork and the mash that was given to me had the oil from the sausages dripped on it. after bringing this to her attention i was told, the mash was freshly put on my plate, which was an absolute lie. we knew what we sent back. chicken schnitzel that i got was rubbery, cold and had no taste to it. this place is just overly hyped and underwhelming, not a true reflection to the great bavarian state of gemany. i never complain in a restaurant, cos i know what its like sometimes, but for god's sake, if you charge people quite a bit of money, you must give something back. we are frequent diners at chermside but i will never go there again, and i will also let all my colleagues know to avoid this restaurant at any cost! it was terrible and the service was very poor. honestly, the best bit of food i had at this place, was a slice of lemon that came with my chicken schnitzel.

what a great place for a happy hour drink. we were shopping and exploring and happened to walk passed and see happy hour was on (from memory 3-5pm, but will confirm again on my next visit). happy hour cocktail, beer and wine $5 each. it was saturday afternoon, so we said, why not?
perching ourselves on the front high seats with barrels for tables, it was very pleasant sitting there watching shoppers walk by and chillaxing. will definitely do it again!
