Solid restaurant to visit. Was a big fan of the beer cheese dip and the sausage with its recipe dating back to over 100 years old. The trio of medallions (veal, steak, and pork) was a big miss, in my opinion. They had a great kids menu, and the desserts were great! If I were to eat there again, I would only get the sausages and beer cheese dip. The apple strudel as well.

The food was authentic and very hearty. Desert of apple strudel and cherry tort topped off our relaxed and satisfying evening. Beer from Germany and best potato pancakes since grandma! Very attentive staff and left feeling content and full!

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.

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 👏

From 9/26/2024 Located on the former site of The Outback restaurant, Spargel on Nine serves authentic German food, not the kind comically envisioned by what Americans think German food is. No lederhosen, no um-pah-pah music, no chicken dance here. The sans serif font on the sign was an indication that this would be food taken seriously. “A Pure German Restaurant” this certainly was. (Spargel refers to white asparagus, a bit of an obsession for Germans) I’m no foodie, but I got a bit excited here. I ordered what was probably their signature beer, Vitus. I'm usually not a big fan of wheat beers, but this did not disappoint. All their beer comes from the worlds oldest brewery, Weihenstephan, founded in 1040. Next was a pretzel treat, which came with butter and spicy honey. Very simple, it was surprisingly good. Don't expect any ordinary salad; this one was made up of any number of fermented vegetables. If you love sauerkraut, red cabbage, etc. you will go gaga for this. For my main course, I went with the standard sauerbraten, which came with red cabbage and potato dumpling. It is prepared with Angus beef, and red cabbage made from scratch. Meat was tender as could be. Delicious. My wife had the beef brisket, served in a horseradish sauce, butter potatoes, and lingonberries (The salad came with this entree). Again, delicious. Dessert was the only thing sub-par, but only in a minor way. The Creme Brûlée was tasty but a bit runny. Owner/Chef Christian Rath and wife Courtney made the rounds with some of the patrons to make sure all was well. Service was suitably prompt, server was knowledgeable and friendly. Pricing was in line with the quality of the meal. A great article detailing Spargel on Nine and its owner can be found in The Glens Falls Chronicle.
