What User doesn't like about Teske's Germania Beer Garden:
Few good German beers on tap. They have good selection of shareable appetizers, but nothing out of the ordinary. The bar area looks really cool and they have a big outdoor area in the back which is nice for gatherings. View all feedback. What User likes about Teske's Germania Beer Garden:
teske’s has the ambiente of the German old land with authentic roasted pig dog to secure it! huge beer selection, so don’t drive there if you want to enjoy it properly. View all feedback.

Teske's Germania in downtown San Jose has received mixed reviews recently, with some disappointment in the quality of their traditional German dishes such as Schweinshaxe and Wiener Schnitzel. However, customers have praised the atmosphere, great service, and delicious pork belly and pork shank dishes during Oktoberfest celebrations. The restaurant offers a wide selection of beers, sausages, and desserts, making it a favorite spot for those craving authentic German cuisine. With a cozy beer garden and attentive staff, Teske's Germania remains a popular choice for those seeking a taste of Germany in San Jose.

Pretty ordinary Food and Loud. If you are German or of German heritage this is not the food you know. Large over salted portions

German potato salad, German potato pancakes, both of them not good. Schnitzel meat bland , not tasty. The only salvation was the German black forest slice cake.
