Wasn't blown away with the menu or the food but it was perfectly acceptable. Service was very good to be fair. Personally liked the location on a buy street as it had atmosphere but could understand why that ma put some off. The friends we were with (locals) informed us that they do some great deals (it was either a... More

Having lived in Vienna, Austria for over 20 years, Cafe Steinhof is about as authentic as you can get, especially in Brooklyn. It has the same vibe as a good "Wirtshaus" with really superb Austrian cuisine. Decent choice of beers, but everything on the menu (been there a few times and have tried just about everything) is fantastic. From the... More

This Austrian cafe is good as a change of pace, but not good enough to attract me regularly. They have a decent menu and beer selection for when you have a hankering for schnitzel or goulash.

Been going to this bar for a couple of years for happy hour drinks & conversation with colleague. Ever since I tasted their Mussels in Tomato Broth, I have been in love with this dish. Really good lunch specials.

Until this visit I always said that there was no such thing as a bad meal in the New York metro area. Well the Cafe Steinhof has ended my ability to say that. We were recently there and I ordered their Hungarian goulash. Well the temperature was possibly on the cool side of lukewarm when it arrived. Once I started... More

This is one of my favorite neighborhood spots. Monday Goulash night is always fun and cheap. But it's worth going back for lunch or dinner to try a wider range of dishes. The Sauerbratten is sweet/sour and so tender. The brauts with kraut are spicy and tangy. The servers are happy to recommend a complimentary wine or beer to compliment... More

This small cafe was truly an amazing experience! From the cocktail list, the food, and the service was great! They have a great selection of German beers and food including the wiener schitznel, that I had. Defintiely check this cafe out, when you are in Brooklyn.

Went to Café Steinhof for a Saturday brunch with a group of friends. The place is simple, the tables are closer together than I would like but the overall atmosphere is pleasant and the service was casual and friendly, except the air was off and it was very stuffy (August). We ordered a few things: Cannot say that scrambled eggs... More

Really terrific local Park Slope place that serves wursts, schnitzel, spaetzel, and many good beers, all at reasonable prices. I've been here dozens of times over the years and always want to go back. The cod chowder is remarkable, the weisswurst terrific, the weiner schnitzel and salads all extremely satisfying. Great atmosphere, service is always good. Occasionally there's a bit... More
