What Cathy Hughes likes about Brotzeit Lokal:
Fantastic atmosphere with a stunning view, delicious beer, tasty food, and excellent service. You can choose to sit on the patio or indoors. They also offer vegetarian and vegan options, which is a nice rarity for German cuisine. We'll definitely return! View all feedback.

What Nancy Fadis doesn't like about Brotzeit Lokal:
Have loved Brotzeit for years. Today’s lunch was ever so disappointing. Waitress takes order including requests for no tarter sauce, extra plate for sharing, etc. Server delivers order, but has no knowledge of requests. Fries arrive cold and soggy. Fish undercooked. Cole slaw, now made with hot sauce, is inedible. Who adds hot sauce to cole slaw in a German restaurant??? Hot sauce is not a traditional German seasonin... View all feedback.

A real hidden gem in Oakland! Probably the best German food I've had in the Bay Area. And the beers are excellent.

Great food and service, but I’m always irked when restaurants tack on surcharges out of nowhere when it’s time for the bill.

The food was good, and the atmosphere was lovely tucked away behind things and near the waterfront.
