Gerst Bavarian Haus is in an old hardware store, but the only tools you'll see in this German restaurant are beer taps for the vast selection of brews. A hammer and ladder may be needed if one of the deer heads falls off the wall, but that's very unlikely to happen, even with the bouncy oompah music. Breaded, fried pork loin comprises the schweine schnitzel, and the sauerbraten is lean and rich. Oysters and catfish stand out among the seafood choices. Potato salad is the German version, of course, tangier than the regular version most people are used to. The warm Bavarian apple pie, served a la mode, is so soothing you'll be saying danke for the next couple of days.

Portions very small
Best beer selection in Evansville. A real adventure! Excellent service! My wife's crab cakes were cold in the center. Promptly and gladly warmed up. Single 2 1/2oz veal cutlet (Jager Schnitzel) for 15.99. Single tiny cormeal cake was an side order for 2.99. Huge portion of German Fries. Food was well prepared. Will only go back for drinks and sandwiches from now on.
Good German food

I had never had good germand food until I tried the Gerst but soon fell in love w/it!!! LOVE THE GERST!!!
Gerst Haus
Portions are HUGE and tasty too. A bit pricey for Evansville (lunch wise anyway).
Our German exchange students think it is pretty good, except for the sauerkraut. They hate American sauerkraut without exception.
