Donauschwaben’s German-American Cultural Center

I love this place! We went for Beer & Brats night which I think they do about every other month. First I had two frostly glasses of Weissbier from the tap. I now have a new favorite beer! Then for $ 5 you get your choice of five different types of brats on a bun. I chose the smoked brat and it was hot and juicy and popped when I bit into it. I love that. Then it’s only $ 1 to pick your choice of sides. I chose the German Potato salad and I smothered by Brat with peppers and onions. Yum! The atmosphere in the bar and warm and cozy but we sat out on the patio overlooking the lake. Everyone is happy and there were a few older people around who had heavy German accents. What a wonderful place. We’ll be back!!!

If I could give more stars, I would! The food and atmosphere are second to none. My favorite is the «Schweinshaxe» or «Eisbein», in English it would be «pig heel». You have to try it to appreciate it, because Deutsche Kueche just doesn’t get any better than this! Good German dining available all year, but the above mentioned specialty is offered only about twice a year, and by special request. One time I put my name on «the list» and reserved 2 portions. On the day of my visit, I observed several patrons who failed to reserve theirs, and had to make a different selection. For anyone who wants to have a REAL German food experience, this is IT! — Praises also to the dedicated staff, who are attired in traditional German «Folklore» with Dirndels and Lederhosen, a nice touch! Frequent special events include the annual Oktoberfest, a MUST for anyone who ever got to experience the one in Munich, or always wanted to yet couldn’t. A big piece of «Heimat» can be found here with the Donauschwaben! Many Clubs are available to the public, including Soccer for kids, a variety of Folk-​Dance Clubs and German Language education at various levels are available to children and adults! I can recommend this place to anyone with or without German «roots».

I had a great time at a wedding that was hosted here. The food was good, the hall was clean, spacious, and had a nice outdoor patio as well.
The only real thing I would change is the lack of flow of the reception hall’s bar. They have it in what amounts to a medium sized closet with only one door in and out.
Aside from one unpleasant bartender, the rest of the staff seemed very nice and attentive.

We all went out on 3÷21÷14, for their fish dinner, and we were very pleased, we got in quickly, and was served quickly. Kids really liked the fish and shrimp. Bring Check or Cash, especially for the bar. Its much easier. Its a very nice place and everyone is very friendly. We sat with a nice couple. You will be sat near people you don’t know, but its all in the the fun of it all. I wish they would have given us sour cream for our only warm potato, hopefully it will be hotter the next time.
The Fish: Its still not like Buffalo NY fish fries but its close. I was hoping for beer battered fish. It wasn’t, but its really good. Fries are
After dinner we let the kids play on their playground for a little since its a nice night.

The fish fry was good but not worth the wait in line for me. Food is served at large tables so unless you have a party of 10 or 12 you will be dining with others. That is not necessarily bad but our table mates were not up for a conversation. We ate and left.

Wie geht’s?! This place is great! My Grandparents were in town so I played hookie from work and came here for lunch. There were 10 of us and they sat us with no problem at all. Awesome looking place with huge grounds, a pond and what looks to be a soccer field. As we sat down she server showed us the beer list (we DO have our priorities ya know!) They have great German/​Bavarian beers. More bottle selection than draft. I cannot believe how great the beer prices are here. 2.50 for a Warsteiner Dunkle or Hofbrau draft!!! If ya went anywhere else it would be twice that. Yet another reason I like private clubs. Everyone ordered different stuff… I got the chicken with dill cream, mushroom sauce. Holy hell was it good and tender. I tried the schnitzel and it was great also. For sides we had salads, spatzle and cabbage… all were fresh and great. Im by no means a cabbage eater but Im diggin the pickled cabbage here. Food came in average time. About 2 beers worth… thats how I judge the duration of elapsed time. Mostly an older crowd, which I also like. People were super friendly and everyone was giving smiles and interacting with other tables. Kind of restores my faith in humanity a tad. You dont get that much in Tremont or most of Cleveland for that matter. After our food and great beers we strutted around the HUGE compound and checked it out. They have HUGE banquet rooms and even an INDOOR soccer pitch! I cant wait to slap on my leather lederhosen and watch the Krauts party down at one of the many festivals they have throughout the year. Bis später!

Oh the German-​American Cultural Center. I’ve been coming here for years.
If you’re German, join & you can get all the benefits of being a member (read cheap beer).
I am just beginning a new adventure as a the singer for a German Band this summer & we rehearse here. Should be fun!

Love me some fish fry! I have been going to the German Club for as long as I can remember (even though I’d proud of my Irish/​Italian heritage). Best fish fry around!
Went for the first Friday in Lent to find out that their bar is «members only» now. Something to do with the liquor license and being busted, BUT if you ask the hostess lady who seats you to be your best friend, she will get you a beer. :) So ask nicely!
They are as Rodney said, from 4−8pm, I went around 6:30 this evening and there was no wait, however, don’t let that fool you. You will most likely have to wait, but it’s worth it. You order up front and then they seat you at a big round table. Yes, you sit with strangers, but it’s what you make of it. I enjoy, the fish is great. For $ 10 you know you are guaranteed a good hearty dinner.
Highly recommend the German Club during lent for fish fry!

This place has a GREAT fish fry. Definitely one of the best in Northeast Ohio. It’s a seasonal fish fry. The atmosphere in this place is terrific. It’s a German sports club complete with a bar, indoor bowling alley, indoor soccer field, arcade, outdoor soccer field and a nice lake. To use these facilities, you must be a member.
Fish fry is Friday night, as usual. Get there early or you’ll be waiting 30 minutes in a line that goes out the door. They usually serve from 4 — 8 PM. Once you enter the place, you need to know what you want. They take your order while you’re standing in line (there’s always a line!). Then they seat you at a round table and deliver bread and butter. We usually walk to the bar to buy a couple pitchers of soda at this point. Note: You will be seated at the same table with other parties. After about 15 minutes, your fish dinner will arrive. Eat and get the hell out so the people in line can get their fish on.
As far as the fish goes, both baked and fried are excellent in taste and texture and are always cooked to perfection. The fries are top notch. You also get a small side of cole slaw and maybe some apple sauce. The potato cakes are the best I’ve had, but you have to order those on the side.
If you like soccer, there’s usually a vicious indoor game in the basement on Friday night that you can watch for free after dinner. Just keep your head up so you don’t get beaned by a 60 mph soccer ball.
