Authentic German beer and food.

Great place for a large cold beer and great German grub with a little sprinkling of Louisiana faire. Try the watermelon salad for a sweet and cool end to the yummy food. Only drawback was the heat but there was a large fan for inside tables. There is outdoor seating with a quaint country feel. Watch out for the large rooster who stands guard in the open yard. He's harmless but won't think twice about checking you if you step out of line 😉

A taste of Germany in the heart of Bywater. Good food, beer and wine. Nice biergarten, friendly staff. Would recommend for a laid back night out with friends.

This is a really cool place in the Bywater. The outdoor seating is filled with fans and picnic tables. There is also a bike rack inside the outdoor space which is really convenient for diners. As for the food— I tried the pork shank several weeks ago and I wasn’t too crazy about it. The meat was on the drier side and definitely over salted, but I would like to give it another shot. On my most recent visit I got the Nola schnitzel sandwich and warm potato salad. They were both tasty and fresh. I would definitely come here if you’re craving some German fare. UPDATE: I’m not changing my star review, but upon my most recent visit I left disappointed. I had the roasted pork shoulder with cold and hot potato salads as well as the egg noodles with gravy. While I continue to recommend the tangy and savory hot potato salad as well as the coleslaw. I will say the cold potato salad was runny and flavorless. In fact, I struggled to finish it. The egg noodles were hard/semi-soft/chewy with little flavor. I’m not really sure why this is on the menu as it was also difficult to finish. Both sides were disappointing. The pork shoulder was good, but nothing amazing. It was between dry and tender, leaving nothing to complaint about but nothing to brag about either. These are tell-tale signs of a slower business so I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt but after several visits I can’t continue to overlook it. Overall, this place is okay but its dim interior and less than enthusiastic staff along with its inconsistent food quality make it just okay. Expect a 4-6 rating out of 10 in your mind when coming here. In other words, you should come here because it’s the only option for German fare in the city and/or you’re in the area but with no expectation for culinary excellence.

Best German cuisine I have had for years!! Great atmosphere, and friendly staff!!

The truest perfect five star I’ve ever seen. Great server, great food and drink, and great atmosphere. No complaints, very happy

It felt like I was in Europe again. The outdoor dining area is amazing, excellent schnitzels, great beer on tap, what more could you ask for?

I come from Berlin and was there today with my nephew. I have to say that I was very disappointed. It may be good by American standards, but I felt ripped off. This has nothing to do with German beer gardens

Y'all know dang well there isn't a bad choice on that menu, but definitely save room for a dessert and try something different than just the beer cheese everybodys got beer cheese try the second one it was SO good

Great spot in the Bywater. Love the food, the beer and atmosphere. Try to make it every time I'm in New Orleans.

Best German beer in the city. Can't find a better pretzel anywhere. Don't forget the beer cheese 🤤

One of our favorite spots in the neighborhood. :)) great schnitzels and the hunter is amazing!

We went there today for my mother's birthday. We are German and wanted some different German food outside of what my Oma taught me how to cook. I will say the Oma's potato salad, potato dumpling, German beer, and red sangria was fabulous. Unfortunately, the sauerkraut was too sweet and pork shank was dry. We had to fight off a dozen of flies while eating. We also didn't care for the gravy. I was pretty disappointed for the amount of money I spent while leaving still hungry.

Absolut geil! The best German food experience I had living in the US! Good food, good beers and true Biergarten feeling!

This place is fantastic. Best German food I’ve had in the U.S. Very friendly service

The food is fine. My only complaint is that they advertise on Instagram a happy hour 2-5, Tuesday - Friday, yet charged me full price at 4 pm on a Friday. The person working knew nothing about this, or even that they had an Instagram page.

We stumbled upon this place when we were just strolling the area, and we were very pleasantly surprised! The outdoor seating area is adorable and there’s even a play area for kids. The rooster was also a fun addition to the experience. The Bavarian was delicious, as well as the beer cheese pretzel. I’ll definitely be back!

Interesting German food including Brats.

Nice atmosphere. Decent choice of German beers that aren't easy to find everywhere else. But the schnitzel was clearly overcooked, and when we went it wasn't busy, so they should have just redone it. We will give them the benefit of the doubt and come back sometime to try something else. Also, if you have a bad back, note that most of the seats are backless, and many with backs are still uncomfortable.

Food was ok but the vibe is great. Live music is great.

Great beer and wonderful baked pretzels! The best, though, is the outdoor beer garden atmosphere. It is just so nice to come here. There is a group that gets together on Thursdays at 6:30pm to meet and speak in German. Very welcoming of all levels of German speaking!

Great spot for german beer and food

When you need a German fix in a great atmosphere, head here. Food is phenomenal

What a fun and delicious place. I had a vegetarian brat, so good! And the pretzel and beer cheese were devine. Can't remember the name of the beer I had, but it was good too. Nice atmosphere outside on the patio, and dog friendly.

Unique, amazing German food with a little twist

This place was great! Delicious food, jager schnitzel was absolutely delicious and the pretzels were fluffy and salty! There is indoor and outdoor seating. Great place to bring your friends for a bite and some delicious German beer!

As someone who regularly visits Germany, this is the closest I've had in the States. Also some options with a NOLA flair. Definitely worth checking out, and a great outdoor Beer Garden to boot.

The most authentic German restaurant you will find in the south. The food is amazing I lived in Germany for 4 years and this is the closest I can get to it right here in the south. The German beer is on point. The staff are amazing and the live music beer hall is awesome. Prices are the best for the beer and food can’t beat it.

Amazing German food! None better in the New Orleans area. Hot pretzels, amazing schnitzel, slow roasted pork, great beer!

It's sad to see any negative reviews. Most without much details, makes me wonder if some competitors are trying to torpedo them? Or maybe just unreasonable out-of-towners?? Whichever, don't you mind them! We really enjoy going to Bratz Yall and bring our out of town family and friends here all the time. Never had a bad experience. I want to specifically say that the Bavarian pretzel king cakes with Bavarian cream is the best Damn king cake in nola (spent the better part of 3 decades in our beloved city and have tasted them all). I picked up my 3rd of the season today - see photos. They don't last 2 days in my household. I literally dream about these king cakes all year and devour them when carnival season arrives. If you haven't had one yet, you must try one! Love this place!!!

German food was not what I expected from New Orleans. This place is Amazing! Good beer in a liter or half liter mug. Good music in the beirgarden. If you are here on a weekend, get the pork shank. It is big enough to share if you are willing, but it is good enough to keep eating every bit of slow roasted the deep fried deliciousnesss. They had a "sexy veggie sausage" my wife ordered that was shocking respectable in flavor and texture. If we are back in New Orleans, will head out to Bywater again for this spot.

This place is seriously one of the best German restaurants in the USA! Yes, I can truly say that having travelled all over and being married to a German. We fell in love with this place when we took a chance to order it on UberEats and boy did it not disappoint! Now we come down to Nola once a year from Washington DC to get our fix! Keep up the fantastic food and flavor...you are a home run!

I dream of that fried pork cutlet sandwich. Big enough for two!

Everything we tried was great! Weather was perfect so sat outside and enjoyed it!

Went on a Sunday afternoon and boy did I have a great time. This place is fantastic. Amazing atmosphere, service is incredible, live music was on point, both food and beers were top tier. This can easily be one of the best spots around. Highly recommended. It is kid friendly.

The atmosphere of this place alone is five stars! You feel like you are in a German pub!! The counter service lady was unapproachable and unpleasant; her energy was distant. Maybe it was a ruff day...the beer and the bratwurst made up for it. Looking forward to returning to sample the sides and beer selection!

Outdoor dining with a big group was easy. No reservations needed. Food came up fast and delicious. Small band outside to entertain us.

Giant beers, great selection of German varieties. You can get small snacks like pretzels or larger plates like sausages, roasts, etc. The outdoor beer garden frequently has live music. There is a very small indoor space, but there are covered areas outside

Friendly staff with great German food. Huge portions. We had the pork shank and one between the two was fine. Good beer selection. Nice garden to sit outside on a sunny day. They do have live music but we were too early for that. A bit off the beaten track but worth the effort.

I checked this place out for their opening weekend and over the years it has turned into a nice spot to enjoy a German style beer garden. They have expanded the menu some to offer more interesting items and really do a nice menu during Oktoberfest time. I am disappointed they don't offer veal or venison schnitzel. They have some appetizer snacks like pretzels and such and usually have a small but decent dessert menu. Overall this is a good addition to the neighborhood but I still really hope they expand the schnitzel offerings and maybe keep some of the expanded Oktoberfest menu offerings as part of their full time menu. My video review of Bratz Y'all is here: https://youtu.be/1tlUNTnM7l4

Charming small place that makes almost everything in house and has a nice patio. Also, regardless if you eat meat or not, the veggie brat is to die for!

Cool little spot nestled away in the bywater. Food was surprisingly good, and the owner was there serving and he’s from Germany. Very eclectic but definitely a small hangout. I would go back.

Amazing German cuisine, great selection of German beer. Definitely recommend stopping by for chow.

One of the best spots to hangout after work. Would highly recommend this place

Good food. Patio seemed nice, we sat inside. Schnitzel was over fried, but everything was tasty.

I always get the Jager schnitzel when trying a new German place, and this one was quite nice. My friends enjoyed some delicious brats as well.

Staff was great and food was excellent!

Best German food outside Bavaria. I've eaten tons of authentic German food in Germany and I was impressed. Coupled with great German beer and service it is a place that you will want to visit over and over.

The flavors of the food here was nice, but it would be nice to have a little flexibility in toppings. My sandwich came with a topping of crawfish remoulade slaw, which defeated the purpose of a pride cutlet, because it made the crust soggy. Also, my bread was very dry and hard, like it was either old or way over baked. Also, our pretzel was charred at the bottom, like it had been over baked. I think they would benefit from having a QR code you can scan to see a picture gallery of whatever you're ordering. The place is totally open to outside, so this is not the place to go on a hot day, unless you're unbothered by the heat. I would think that this place would be pretty awesome in the winter.

First time here. Loved it!!. The staff was great. We sat outside and enjoyed our food. I will be going back next time I'm in town.

Believable Bavarian blessings! Never once disappointed with anything at Bratz Yall.

My grandkids and I had a fabulous time here. The live band was awesome, I'm glad we stopped by!

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the sangrias, great live music as well.

Such a good vibe! Tasty food, tasty beer, and lots of space for kiddos too!

This was the best German food we've eaten since leaving Germany many years ago. The Laugenbrezel tasted even better than in Germany. Can't wait to go back.

Great atmosphere with solid food! Their pretzels are a must-try. I love the beer cheese!

Super delicious food and incredible service! Great atmosphere as well.

This little place is tucked back off the street but an amazing find. The food was some of the best German food we have found in a while. Quick service with friendly staff. They have a large outdoor area shaded by trees and an inside dining area. Would definitely recommend giving them a try.

I had no idea where my Uber driver was taking me the other day, then we we rolled up on this NOLA gem on a Sunday. What can I say, this is a place that you must experience in person. I felt like I was across the pond when I walked through their front door. Food was superb. Beer selection was on point. Customer service was excellent. They have live blues music all the time and have a beer hall in the back. Perfect place to take the family on a beautiful NOLA day. Dog friendly as well. Oh, I forgot to mention… they have a Bloody Mary that will melt a meat lovers heart.

This is a hidden Gem amongst some warehouses. It's a great authentic German Biergarten! Prost! Of course, some of the best beer...enjoyed a few different types, but really liked the Dunkel. The food was amazing. Enjoyed the Schnitzel Chicken sandwich, so crispy and yummy. It was huge. Perfect for two gals.The Black forest Beer brat was a pork brat, with the best tasting sauerkraut on a pretzel bun. Lastly, the Nurnberger was amazing. Pork brat with carmalized onions and sauerkraut. Again...the sauerkraut tastes so much better (here) because its authentically made. Delicious! They also have great dipping sauces for the fries. Don't pass them up! Great service, Fun place to enjoy lunch outside in the Biergarten!
