Traditional American cuisine. Perfect to cure that craving for thanksgiving when it’s not quite that time of year. Turkey leg is fall off the bone and you can never go wrong with mashed potatoes and gravy. They aren’t doing anything crazy or innovative just serving up quality hearty meals. A staple in the region.

Quiet for a Friday afternoon in September. Super nice bartender and plenty of options on tap. I will definitely be back now that I've set foot inside for the first time in the 29 years I've lived here.

Harry's Hofbrau is awesome. It is a cafeteria type of restaurant. It reminded me of a better version of the old Tad's Steakhouse's on Powell's St. My meal tonight was a tri-tip steak dinner $23 and a Manhattan clam chowder $6.75. Both were OK. The tri-tip steak was perfectly cooked medium rare. My sides were the mash potatoes and mushrooms. The mash potatoes were drenched in gravy. The soup had a strong tangy tomato taste. Well done everyone at Harry's Hofbrau.

I'm from SF and back in the day I used to love going to Chicken Coops on Taraval. That was the "go to" hof brau spot, before they closed down. But today I tried Harry's Hofbrau and this might be my new go to spot! They had the game going on, the place was bustling, loved the atmosphere and ambiance. The food hit the spot, the gravy was a little bit too floury, I would get it on the side next time, I had the turkey dinner and overall it home!

I'm so happy we found this gem!! Our first time but will not be our last!! First of many !! The food was amazing! Line was long, but the wait was not long at all . We have ben looking for a hofbrau style restaurant for quite some time now, so coming from Fresno was a risk we are glad we took on Harry's. Huge portions of lots of fresh home cooked options you will be stuffed, so come ready to pig out! Also, expect to be in total food coma staff was amazing from the greeter, to the line cooks and the wait staff everyone was very helpful & patient. Thank for having us Harry's Hofbrau
