“ Wow! This is a German food experience. The menu is filled with authentic German cuisine. Absolutely fresh and delicious, this will blow your mind. They have a full bar and, of course, plenty of beer. The service is warm and friendly. The dining room is clean and comfortable with a cool new age German vibe. This is a food destination. If you live in the Saratoga area, this is worth the short trip up the North way. Pro Tip: Order the potato pancake appetizer. ”
“ Went for lunch w/ my mom and it was delicious. Lunch menu is much smaller than their dinner menu. The place is clean and the food was tasty. I had a small house salad & the sauerbraten with red cabbage & spatzle- everything was delicious. My mom had homemade brats w/ sauerkraut & home fries. Reasonably priced as well. I can't wait to go for dinner & try more dishes! I hope this place keeps up their quality of food, I think it could be and stay very successful in this area. Great Job to the staff *Edited 8/2024: Finally was able to come for dinner and it was delicious from start to finish! I added several new pictures of our meal. 5 stars! Great job ”
“ Wow, what an amazing find, I was traveling alone and ate at the bar. Bartender was incredibly knowledgeable about food and wine menus. menu was crammed full of great choices, 20 flights of foreign wines. Specials menu included rock point oysters and bacon wrapped rabbit loin. My choice of veal cordon blue with Emmentaler cheese and mornay sauce was fabulous. ”
“ Raised with German parents and my Oma, we were very excited to try this authentic German restaurant... Very pleased with our experience- It’s a beautiful, clean restaurant with a great German ambience and great German music playing enough to hear it but not to loud that you can’t hold a conversation. We started off with the potato pancakes which were delicious ! My dad had the goulash soup and my mom had the asparagus soup - both so good ! And the pretzel sticks with hot honey butter that comes with your meals are delicious !!! Sauerbraten comes with red cabbage & a potato dumpling - really tasty ! We also ordered the duck platter - very good however the skin could have been a little crispier. We also ordered flounder stuffed with shrimp & scallops. Expected to see pieces of shrimp & scallops but it was very ground up and then the flounder was stuffed with that but overall it was still goid. No room for dessert : / Great service. Very polite. If you are in the Queensbury area, I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed ”
“ My family and I loved this restaurant. To start, I ordered the spargelcremesuppe (cream of asparagus soup) and it was absolutely delicious and not too heavy. The complimentary freshly baked pretzel sticks with hot honey butter were amazing. We then shared the sampler plate that had a little bit of everything - bratwurst, knockwurst, sauerkraut, cabbage, schnitzel, pork shank, etc. - all so good! Even our picky toddler enjoyed everything and had a lot of fun trying new foods! Writing this review is making me hungry and we can't wait to go back someday! ”
“ My husband and I had a truly spectacular dinner here last week. It was obvious from the minute I walked in that a lot of detail had been paid to every aspect of the experience. The environment is warm, inviting, and spacious, with traditional German music playing in the background. Our waitress Rayna was excellent; very friendly, helpful with answering questions, and present any time we needed something. Highly recommend requesting her if you visit. Now, for the food. Absolutely delicious! Pretzels are brought out at the beginning, accompanied by a honey butter spread; we opted to also add a side of beer cheese. The pretzels were delicious and everything I had hoped for, with a nice crust on the outside and warm and pillowy on the inside. I loved the butter, and hubby was thrilled with the beer cheese. We ordered potato pancakes for an appetizer as well. They were good and cooked well, but I would be curious to try another item next time. Our entrees that we selected were awesome! Each plate was filled with an abundance of delicious food. The chicken schnitzel was exactly as I like it, crispy and pounded very thin, and well seasoned. I always get a side of bearnaise sauce to dip it in, and that was perfect, too! Hubby ordered the strip steak, which I had a few bites of, and this was excellent too; I would recommend for sure. We ordered bacon wrapped green beans, spaetzle, and potatoes for our sides. The potatoes were so good! I will be ordering those every single time. He enjoyed the green beans, and I liked the spaetzle. I had no room left but wanted to try a dessert. I selected the rice pudding (no raisins!) and loved it. Planning to leave room next time for the apple strudel. Altogether, this is a great local option for us when we are going out to eat (not a regular thing for us, but a few times a month, it's nice to go out). We love supporting private restaurants with great food at decent prices and this one covers all of that and more. Highly recommend. It is the only option I know of with authentic and well-made German food in the area. ”
“ First time here for restaurant week, and they did not disappoint!!!! We made reservations and were seated immediately. The restaurant was not super busy but had a few full tables and bar patrons. The lighting and music make the experience very pleasant. The waitstaff were very professional and kind! THE FOOD OH MY GOODNESS!? They start you out with pretzel sticks and whipped butter drizzled with hot honey which was delicious! We also ordered the fried brie with ligonberry jam which was very good but could have been a little more melted and served with more crostini’s. We both started out with soups, and got the Hungarian gulash soup which was loaded with tender beef chunks and seasoned perfectly...I got the Spargel soup whoch is asparagus cream and it was very tasty and creamy. For our main courses we ordered the Pork Schnitzel covered in their beer sauce with mushrooms, we chose potato pancakes and bacon wrapped green beans... it was AMAZING! I ordered the Erlanger Sauerbraten which is a marinated beef in a tasty sweet and sour demiglaze and we chose red cabbage and spaetzel and WOW it did not disappoint. We barely had room for dessert but managed to power through, we got the Chocolate cherry torte cake and the apple strudel which were phenomenal. I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back to try more of their impressive menu! ”
“ Wow, is all I could say! Everything we ordered came out beautifully, my friend and I ordered our dinners to go and we couldn’t believe how good it was. Everything was packaged with high-quality containers, which kept our fresh food, hot! We ordered Schweinebraten, Schweine Haxe, Angus-Beef NY strip steak, and macaroni and cheese. The schweinebraten- the German pork roast, was very tender, their sauce for this plate was truly decadent. Their Schweine Haxe (pork shank) is also very good, loved the dark beer sauce! They didn’t have potato dumplings for both pork plates at the time and they courteously offered potato pancakes instead, and to our surprise, it was crispy and just as good, if not better! The 12 oz. strip steak was cooked exactly the way I asked, and the steak came with perfect grill marks. To top off our surprise, their Bavarian pretzel rolls and honey butter will absolutely make you savor your dining experience at Spargel on 9. If you haven’t had honey butter before, this place will make it your new favorite! The meal here was truly rewarding, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! ”
