***** Biergarten, 309 Via de Palmas, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 395-7462.

Last Saturday night around 10pm my wife and I- and another couple stopped by a German “bar-restaurant”—Biergarten in Boca Raton. The joint has indoor seating/huge outdoor patio seating. Real simple concept–tons of different beers, wines, specialty drinks—menu loaded with appetizers, burgers, salads, sandwiches, tacos, German style wursts-schnitzels-and other dishes—local bands and djs. The joint looks like “what” I guess a German beer garden in Germany is suppose to look like and the staff wears’ German beer garden costumes (I think!) You can check menu/prices at www.biergartenboca.com.

What a cool place!. It was JAMMED and I do mean JAMMED! I’m gonna bet here, that half the crowd was FAU/Lynn students. Although it was approaching “my” bedtime, I still “tried” a steak slider, bbq pork slider, pastrami slider, kielbasa, potato pancakes—and I’m telling you straight up, the food was absolutely dynamite. Absolutely some of the best “bar” stuff I’ve had in a very very long time. A great dj was spinning all-types of music and I understand that the bands that work the joint, play classic rock, reggae and new stuff.

Suffice it to say, the “kids” there were having an absolute blast–and us 4 old geezers did the same. Boy! If Ithaca, New York had a joint like Biergarten back in 1966-1970–just maybe, I wouldn’t have been so anxious to graduate from Ithaca College-to get back to Brooklyn. In all fairness, Bobby Comstock & The Counts was a great band, but if memory serves me right, the food at the Dewitt Clinton Hotel where they worked- wasn’t even in the same breath as Biergarten’s grub.

Biergarten hasn’t been around for very long. I’m guessing here, but I think something like 6 months. The joint is located in the “Pink Plaza” in Boca Raton…the spot that it’s in- has over the years-housed more restaurants than you can shake a stick at. I maybe going out on a limb here, but I think that the landlord has finally found a long-term tenant.

Let me close by saying, no matter how old or for that matter young you are—you gotta try Biergarten.

Biergarten is open Sunday-Monday 11am-midnight, Tuesday-Saturday 11am-2am.

    Best steak slider Ive ever eaten. They also have a pretzel appetizer that’s delicious.
    The place is a load of fun.

    hey jeff.

    i guess english was not your strong suit at ithaca college. a previous post said you ” don’t have to dress up or nothing”. and what is with putting quotation marks around “my” and “tried”.

    and why is this german place listed as hungarian?

      Jason klazinsky:

      Just had a chance to read your post.

      I could just answer…BECAUSE!

      That said, let’s dissect your post.
      i(I) guess e(E)nglish was not your strong suit at I(I)thaca c(C)ollege.——I could go on and on, but I won’t.

      Thanks for reading…

      You obviously don’t know Jeff’s style. He probably picked Hungarian because he doesn’t have a German listing.

      Jeff’s the man!

    so make a german category!

    yes, i confess , too lazy to push the shift button for capitalization. like ee cummings.

    The food I had in this place was awful. Kind of a cool place though.

  5. Scott says...

    Agree with Ronny. Worst. Food. Ever.

  6. Ted Edwards says...

    Love the food.

  7. My husband and I ate there last night for the first time . The fried perogies, burger sliders, chicken cutlet and veal cutlet that we ordered were all delicious.
    We will definitely be back for many more dinners.
