Willkommen! Ludwigs German Table is an authentic San Jose German beer hall with long, communal tables running the length of the room, and plenty of beer on tap. Regulars say this place is the real deal, and that if you stop by for a meal you should plan to leave full and happy.

You might start off with the house-baked pretzel still warm from the oven when it arrives at your table. Then, move on to a plate of currywurst and fries if you want a bit of spice with your meal, or an order of the classic schnitzel, topped with creamy mushroom sauce and a bit of ground pepper. Whatever you choose, be sure you leave room for both beer and dessert, as both are highly regarded here.
