If the one in New Orleans couldn't stay open, BR could not cut it.

Jagerhaus is still open on Conti in New Orleans. It's 1/2 block of Bourbon. Great breakfast. Good specials.

ETA: It's not on the same scale as Hofbrauhaus. I do agree Baton Rouge is a tough market with simpleton palates.

Maybe you could persuade these guys to kick it up a notch.

You could do it, just focus on beers and sausage/ bar food. You might end up with more of a bulldog rather than a chimes. I actually think Bulldog here in BR is more apt to a German beer hall/ garden

Ja. Jemand öffnen Sie bitte ein. Louisiana hat eine reiche deutschen Geschichte.

true, the wiener schnitzel with a la carte red sauce is pure fiyah.
and the sauerbraten is a roast beef with a lot of clove and its good as well.


But German food as a whole is really pathetic. It's literally the worst cuisine I've ever encountered. It's always bland and unimaginative. That ish is nothing more than mere sustenance.
With german food youll get like three shades of brown and grey on a plate and if you dont wolf it down before it gets cold, you're left with inedible garbage(sauerkraut).
It looks gross, it tastes gross, you look gross when you eat it(cuz u eat it fast). in short its gross!

And while a good beer selection is great, a city only needs about 1 german restaurant for every 2.5 million residents. And we've already got the handful of german dishes at pinettas in a city of less than 1 million!

So the real thread title should be "why does Baton Rouge have so many german restaurant(s)?"

German food just isn't the in thing.

I went to Texas wine country a few months ago, ate at a German place called Otto's. It was by far the best meal on the trip, amongst some pretty heavy hitting restaurants.

The fois gras BLT was one of the best dishes I have had in 2015.

^ what the...some of that sounds GOOD!

but the best sounding things on that menu are 100% french or italian.
and then youve got weird grey areas like flamekuechle which is nothing to be proud of tbh.
but the description for wurst plate sounds like hot trash, and reasserts the fact that german food needs to go away.
sorry to be a hater but it really is too bad and needs to get called out

I think the general idea of a 'German Bier Hall' could work in Baton Rouge, but they'd have to adapt the concept for Louisiana. Local craft brews, boudin, sausages, other local fare, liters of Canebrake or Voodoo Bengal or NOLA Brown, open bench seating. It could work, if adapted right.
