Austria Hof Restaurant - Mammoth Lakes (CA)

5 /5 Fay M: We made a reservation, which I recommend during peak season. We had a group of 7 and everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the soup and a beet salad. Both were excellent and made with very fresh ingredients. My husband had the salmon, grilled. He loved it. Prices are high in Mammoth, so this place is no different. But, the high quality food and service make it worth it.

4 /5 Subir Das: We had a quiet dinner at this charming restaurant which serves typical German cuisine in Mammoth town. The ambience is nice and warm and the service was excellent. We ordered sausages, venision ribs and goulash along with drinks. The sausages and venision was typical German cuisine and well made, however the goulash was not quite at par with the goulash one experiences in Europe.

4 /5 Stacey Mattish: The food was just okay. Ive had better dishes elsewhere. They Jagerschnitzels gravy was really thin. The schnitzel were really thin. I think the best part of the sampler platter was the potato pancakes.

1 /5 Adrian Kaesberg: Be careful! This restaurant automatically adds an 18% gratuity. This was NOT mentioned when ordering and was NOT on the menu (it only states that gratuity applies for parties of 7 or more, which we were not). When you sign the check, they prompt you to add a tip again, trying to squeeze an extra 20% from their guests. They also added a credit card surcharge, again without informing us beforehand. I felt scammed. I believe this not legal - I’ll consider reporting this to the California Attorney General. After realizing this, we went back to the restaurant and asked for the gratuity to be removed, which they did. The dining room is cozy, and the food was okay. The sides were good, the Apfelstrudel was great, but the schnitzel was very dry and nothing like the schnitzel you get in Germany or Austria.
