   Mother’s Day Brunch was disappointing. We arrived 20 minutes early to ensure we were on time, only to wait 20 another twenty minutes after our reservation time. They were understaffed for the event. They failed to replenish parts of the menu the last half hour before it was closed. Again, we were early and were penalized. We have spent thousands of dollars within the past year bringing our family and friends together for a nice dinner/experience. Today, the restaurant failed us. Completely disappointed and won’t be back for another event. I’d go anywhere else before going back here for an event. Totally, overpriced and underwhelming experience

   Let me start by saying we love Hofbrauhaus and find it to be a great restaurant to take our kids to. We went to Mother’s Day brunch yesterday and were disappointed. We went to their brunch for Mother’s Day last year and it was amazing! I had been looking forward to it all year long. Well our dining experience started with a wait (10-15min) for a table even though I had already made reservations earlier in the week. While the food was pretty good, it was a bit disappointing compared to last year. There were so many more options last year. Finally, the cost for each of our children’s meals was insane! Last year they didn’t cost anything and this year each of their meals cost $28!! They are 2 and 5 years old! And when we usually go there to eat, the kids plates are $5 each! Unfortunately, we will not return next year. Oh! And although we only had a party of 4 (2 adults 2 children) a 20% gratuity was already added to our bill!

   We were sat near the balloon guy, kids were running around without any supervision. The waitress had to apologize to us multiple times yet still no one spoke to them. Entrees came out 2 minutes after the appetizer was served. The sampler was small for $19.

    Food was delicious and beer was excellent. Lindsey, our server, was very attentive and did a great job. The Bergholz Band put on a great show. Always a great time at Hofbräuhaus. Thank you!
