The most disappointing German food and service
First it took forever for someone to take our order. The waitress finally came and seem like she did not want to take our order. We ordered beer and was missing a coaster. She never gave us an extra one. It took so long for the food to come and it was the poorest German food I have ever had. We ordered another pitcher of beer, the waitress did not take to old pitcher and the old glasses. Have anyone heard of India Curry sauce in a German food? Never again

Solid German Food
Came here for lunch with my wife and was very happy with the experience. For appetizers, we had the pretzel with mustard and the potato soup. The pretzel was blah, but the soup was lovely and rich with the herbs in the forefront. Our entrees were enjoyable; I had the pork shank, which can feed 3 people easily. The pork was tender and cooked much in the same way one would find in Munich. My wife had the jagerschnitzel, which was nicely breaded with a delicious gravy. The service we received was excellent which was to be expected as we were the only diners there. The beer selection was strong, and they have Augustiner, which is one of the harder-to-find Munich beers. Overall, it was a fine meal, but a bit pricey (84 dollars) for lunch. Still, in comparison to Heidelberg and Hallo Berlin, Lederhosen is a cut above.

don't bother
I waited 15 minutes for a lukewarm mug of water, got my teabag, no sugar, no lemon. Then the wrong food order, and once it came, it was awful. Also, got some food that I did not order and the waiter insisted that we ordered this. Yeah, it was for the other people with whom we shared the table. RUDE service is right, probably because he had to wear Lederhosen. Stick to drinking beer, forget the food.

Very Good German Food!
I went here with a friend after work recently for dinner and a drink. The German food was very delicious and we loved the kitschy decor. The waitress was attentive and mild mannered. I highly recommend this place! So happy to have found it!

Scary backwards
The beer is very good at this place. The historic awareness of German un-culture is missed. It is scary how the rudeness of the service, the kitchy starkness of the decor and the allusions to a very unrefined snd unreflected German patriotism creep up on one. One feels like buying into a bit of 1930ies and 40ies ideology in cheering with the beering cheering patrons. There are good things about German culture, Lederhosen doesn't feature them.

Schweine Haxen
Otto has done it again! I had a really great Schweine Haxen with mashed potato and kraut on Saturday night. This slow roasted pork shank was done to perfection. It was even better washed down with a half liter of Kostritzer. The bar area was full of Beer folk talking about "BEER". For once there were no Crackberries hanging about.

The most Rude Service
Went there with my friends.Everything seemed to be fine. We got the table and ordered food and beer. The only thing that was really bothering us was that the waitress kept coming to our table literally every 5 minutes with the question if we were done and need anything else. More then that, she wasn't just asking us nicely: it was very grim face and irritated intonation. So after the 5th or 6th time she came up to us with the same question we just asked her what was the problem and why she was so impatient with us. On which she said: "because I need your table for other customers"...Basically meaning that we had to get out because she wanted to sit someone else on our table... Yeah, that's what she said... But we said we were not done yet and would like to order more beer but she said :"No, I can't do that.You need to leave". This is the most rude service and attitude we ever got in NYC. We would have talked to the manager (which is the owner) about this situation but the owner, actually, doesn't care.That's how they view their business as going through the customer and getting income on that.So after we were basically kicked out of our table we paid and didn't leave any tips. On which she literally cursed us... (yeas, she did...) Also, we weren't sitting that long and there were tables in the restaurant available as well. Plus there were a few tables that were not ordering any dinner and were just drinking beer. And we pointed out but she said they were about to order.But they were sitting longer then us. It was incredibly rude and the owner seemed to ignore the situation and just stayed away and basically let this rude situation to happen.
