Gottscheer Hall - City of New York

Ive drank many boots here, always a great time. Food bar Food but delicious enough

Great food, history, and charm. Definitely worth the trek to ridgewood. Their Octoberfest is a great night to be had

Such good food and such friendly atmosphere, make sure you get served by Daniel! Such a cultural institution and I had such a blast. Can’t say enough about how friendly the staff is!

LOVE this place. it was our first time here and we felt like family. everything we ate was delicious and the service even when they had to move us was warm and inviting

I came to this establishment with an acquaintance on a Sunday and i didn't realize the restaurant don't open til 4 pm so I sat at the bar for an hour which was fine because the Mets baseball was on to keep me entertained. The bar is open at 1 on the weekends if people need a drink in the area.So, 4:00 came and I was told the restaurant was all in the back of the building outside. The waiter was friendly and gave us our menu. I ordered the most expensive dish on the menu for 14.99 which was the beef goulash which I'm a fan of at many Eastern European restaurants and this one in particular was German. My acquaintance ordered the bratwurst with half sauerkraut and half potato salad which is not on the menu and it was something the waiter kindly offered. The food came and it look ok. My dish not the food looked heavily used like when it was first opened in 1924. They couldn't just throw their old dishes and get new dishes apparently. My food itself was really bad. Beef itself was dry and stew was bland. I hardly ever add salt to my food but this dish desperately needed it. Also, no vegetables like carrots or potatoes that a goulash may have. Noodles look and tasted like mush, bland and it didn't help mixing it in with the bland goulash. I think this dish was meant to be served and eaten to senior citizens because it looked and tasted something that might be served at senior center.Final verdict: Me and my acquaintance were the only people actually here for the food and not the bar. If you come here, stay at the bar, watch the game, and if ur hungry the sausage and pretzels aren't bad. Stay away from the goulash and the other foods are under $10 so it's affordable and decently edible.
