text: I would first heard of the Hofbrueuhaus on the Food Network a few years ago It was highly recommended for it is authentic food and dining atmosphere from what I remembernnI love love love German food and had not had any in several months plus after skipping lunch in favor of a few pitchers of poolside drinks my husband and I were really in the mood for some salty carby foodand what could be better than spaetzlennI was aware of the live entertainment and therefore brought earplugs I am glad I did As we walked in the dining room there was a lady standing on the bench of her community table clapping to the Dire Straights cover band Also if spankings by dirndlwearing waitresses is on your bucket list for some reason you can get or watch that done herennOverall the food was decent definitely got the carbs we came for but I have been spoiled by Uwes in Colorado Springs Hofbrueuhaus does not live up but in all fairness that is a very high barnnIf you are not into the kind of touristy place that has an attached gift shop I would skip it
