Best Bavarian beer in Montana and Bavarian food, almost felt like I was back in Bavaria. Yurgen has done a fabulous job creating a nice place to enjoy great beer and delicious food! My most favorite place to eat in Missoula. Staff is friendly, beers cold and tasty and he’s involved in his community and lots of fun to talk to. Photos next time!

The spot for German food in zoo town. I love there twist on Mac and cheese, the cucumber salad is fantastic. There beer is great and they are the only place I know of that you can recycle brown beer bottles and there branded cardboard. They even give you cash for em..

Edelweiss is as close to Munich as you can get in Montana. Bayern has the best lineup of beers and every food item is authentic and delicious. Great patio and balcony seating.

My partner and I love this place. Their beer is my favorite in town. We love the atmosphere of the place and of course the food. Many years back I did a brewery tour by bicycle in Bavaria and this place brings back happy memories of coming in from a long cold bike ride to some warm brats, sauerkraut, and potatoes and washing it all down with a good dunkel.

Most delicious german food around. It's probably one of the best restaurants in Missoula. The service is always great, yet they are not very attentive. However, that can be nice. I've been here many times and it always satisfies. You should definitely find time to make when the gurkensalat is in season. There isn't a lot of seating in the upstairs. This place holds a lot of history to Missoula, and you can't miss out on a Bayern beer

Everything about this place was a 5 star experience (can I give higher than 5?). This place is legit. The brewery is huge and you can see it through a window upstairs. Lots of options for beer on tap. Kelly was the most amazing waitress. She made us feel VIP. The food was straight out of Germany (even way better than the food we’ve had there; more fresh and hot). The bread that I got the brat sandwiching had just come out of the oven. We have yet to have seen Leberkase on the menu in the German restaurants in the US but they had it and boy did they know how to do it right. AMAZING. So wish we lived driving distance to this place; we would come all the time.

I have been to this place several times, and have found each time for the service to be incredible, the food delicious, and the mustards to be excellent. The schnitzel is always super tasty and comforting, paired with a diverse panel of mustards that are sure to knock your socks off. I love coming here, for you always get enough food for plenty of leftovers.
