Editorial Review for Hoffbrau Steakhouse – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Opened in 1934 in a former feed-store building, Hoffbrau will remind you that Austin was once a small town. Eat in the memorabilia-filled dining room or grab a picnic table outside under the trellis. The crowd includes business types, laborers and anybody else who appreciates good steak. The 14-ounce T-bone, one of three cuts and six sizes, is served in lemon-butter sauce. Hearty German potatoes are huge, filling and shaped like gold bricks.

I had heard about this Austin "Tradition" for years; however, every time I was in town, it was closed. Recently, we were headed to Katz's Deli, another Austin "Tradition," when we noticed that the Hoffbrau was open. We had T-bones and the house salad. The steak was thin and totally saturated in grease. The salad was good; however, it may have only tasted "good" in comparison to the steak. The decor is rustic depression era truck stop. The service was prompt and cordial. Parking is limited. Suggestion: pass up this "icon" and go to Katz's Deli across the street or the Hut's Hamburgers on down the street. Better yet, save up your money and get a real steak at Ruth's Chris>

Sorry, but for what you get it just is not worth your time. I understand the over 70 crowd remembering this place and wanting to return but really. A 1/4 inch thick T-bone fried on a grille. I do better at home in my sleep.
Pros: none
Cons: not worth your time or money
