This place is easily my top pick in California right now. The food is absolutely incredible: rich flavors, hearty portions, and everything feels made with care. Whether you're going for schnitzel, sausages, German classics, or something lighter like a salad or appetizer, you really can’t go wrong here. This is the kind of place where I find myself recommending everything on the menu.

One dish I especially loved was the Goulash - beef stew with carrots and potatoes, served with homemade spätzle. It’s hearty and flavorful but not like a soup and yet not greasy at all. In fact, what I really appreciate about this place is that the food isn’t oily or heavy, and it doesn’t leave that unpleasant "junk food" aftertaste. Everything feels clean and satisfying.

The atmosphere is another highlight: cozy, not loud, and perfect for a relaxing evening. We came on a Saturday night and the place was packed, so I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance.

Seen this German Restaurant a good few times driving by and dining in at the Ramen spot next door.
Decided to come with the family and check them out.

The food was cooked to perfection, their beer was very delightful and great to the taste.

We started out with their signature Bavarian Pretzel served with their homemade sweet mustard and obatzda which was absolutely delicious.

Wifey ordered an Erdinger Dunkelweizen which was a pleasant experience and tantalizing to the taste buds.
She ordered a sausage plate which came with traditional Bratwurst and
cheddar wurst. Included with the plate was a side of mash potatoes and their classic sauerkraut.

I got their Jäger Schnitzel which came with a wild mushroom sauce, seasoned fries, and brussel sprouts.

And our daughter got her plain hamburger which came on a brioche bun.
Oh my gosh the food was so delicious and amazing here.

The restaurant is clean, organized, and has excellent service. Our server was welcoming, professional, and very accommodating. Their staff was very helpful as well.

Rasselbock gets a 5 star ⭐ rating hands down and all around from me in this one!

I definitely want to come back and try more items on the menu.

Me and my partner come here if not every week, every other week. In the past, the vegan schnitzel was to die for, quite literally the BEST thing I've ever had in the long beach area, until today. I'm not sure if they got a new chef or changed up the recipe, but the meal today was a huge disappointment. Maybe the meal would have been okay if it was my first time here, but I know the quality of their food and this experience had me close to tears. 😭 maybe this was just a rough day for them? I will try my favorite meal again next week to see if it's returned to all it glory and deliciousness.

Great bar service. Great beer selection. Great food. The mini potato pancakes are good starters. I have tried two pork schnitzel plates with potato salad, brussel sprouts, and sauerkraut.
