Went on a Saturday night, huge mistake!!! Don't go on Saturday night unless you want for 2 hours. We waited a VERY long time for our food. Owner's attitude was very disappointing. No "Im sorry or what can I do to make things right". As a former restaurant owner, shame on you! She really didn't seem to care we were not happy.Food, was fine, not great but good. Don't get the Pork chops, dry and tough as shoe leather. Cutlet was good, red cabbage was good, sauerkraut was average at best. We sat at the bar, our server was okay, seemed to prefer the locals to us.Anyways, I doubt I would go back. Price point on food and drink was okay, but the owner's attitude really kind of ruined the night for me. We were super excited to try it, now we have.Atmosphere is rustic and cozy, so perhaps come in for a drink and then eat somewhere else.

We love eating here when we have the opportunity, usually it's for a special occasion for us. Last time we were there was new years eve and the staff are always friendly and helpful, even though it was a super busy night. Danielle was our server and was amazing! Food is always cooked to our liking. I usually order the chicken cutlet with spaetzle and the cream sauce and it's so delicious. I cannot recommend them enough.

The first time my husband and I went to Herb Niemanns, on December 10th, 2022, we had the most incredible time. The food was incredibly high quality and delicious, the server was extremely kind and attentive, and the food came to the table in a timely manner. We were raving to all our friends about how we can't wait to go back!The second time we went, on January 28th, 2023, we were severely disappointed by our experience. While the appetizers were alright, the dinner items we ordered did not have the attention to detail that we had seen in our previous visit. The filet mignon was undercooked and stringy, yet somehow burned on the outside. The green beans were undercooked. The goulash soup- which was my absolute favorite- was over seasoned with far too much pepper and had a completely different texture and flavor than last time. The German potatoes were not the right texture.I was disappointed in the huge leap in quality, and frankly, I would be embarrassed to take any of my friends there, since I don't know what to expect with the quality of the food.If the quality stayed consistent, I would gladly go back there again.

Sadly disappointed. You shouldn't have to request hot food when you're paying at least $50 per person. We were there on February 18, 2023. I ordered the schnitzel thank goodness part of it was ok temperature wise and I was already a bit full due to the salad and bread. My vegetables and potatoes were lukewarm. Hot food also prevents food poisoning. Customers should not pay for a restaurant of this caliber, its not worth the money if they don't serve hot food!!!

Been here multiple times over the past 15 years and it's definitely hit or miss. Had a reservation still had to wait 25 minutes. Got our food 90 minutes after scheduled reservation. Then received the most overcooked "medium rare" ribeye I've ever eaten. For what they charge, missing like this shouldn't happen.

Last Saturday (1/28/23) I went with my wife for our eagerly anticipated 2nd visit to Herb Niemans. Our first visit back in December was incredible, this visit, not so much.The service was good, however there must have been an off night in the kitchen, the Goulash soup was a lot saltier and less flavorful then last time, and my bavarian mixed grill was dry, and rather bland. The red cabbage was syrupy. My wife's porterhouse was tough and stringy, and the bacon around it was undercooked. However, the crab stuffed mushroom appetizers were on point.I really hope that this was just a one-off bad experience, as we were overjoyed with our initial visit.

The original and the best stand-alone steak house in Whatcom County! Eat in the dining room for a more formal atmosphere or in the bar for a more relaxed feel. They do brunch on Sundays too!! Fair prices, great meals, and good drinks. A staple for Whatcom County.Food: 5/5

I enjoyed an afternoon, happy hour, beer and appetizer on the bar side. It was quite enjoyable, and the service was great. It is so much fun to go into places that have so much rich, character, and tradition, and they don’t try to update and change everything into modern decor. This place so much reminds me of going to dinner with my grandparents when I was a child. Coming from a German background, I can say that the food looks very authentic. I can’t wait to go for a nice formal dinner here sometime soon.

Great restaurant for German type food. The Schnitzels are just like at home. Service was excellent. Portions are huge, just what we needed after a long hike with our doggies. The red cabbage here is my favorite ? ?Food: 5/5

It was ok. The atmosphere was nice, until it wasn't. We were on a double date night and a family with 3 small kids got sat next to us...one of the kids was fussy (dang get a sitter and leave the kids at home). I got 6 tiny shrimp drowning in a pan with 2 inches of butter for $15. The steak my husband got was ok. The potatoes and drinks were good. Meh....I can make all of it better and cheaper at home. First and likely the last time.

Have been here once before for an event that served some hors d'oeuvre. This time sat at the bar and watched a world series game on TV. Bar was somewhat high yet i didn't mind. Ordered the bar steak and it came out perfectly done, nice grill marks. When cut it open was a little underwhelmed that the steak was only warm, not hot. Steak itself was great, thick, nicely seasoned and perfectly doneThe potatoes were also nicely seasoned yet lacked heat, meaning they were slightly above room temperature and not really hot. Lack of hot food is what caused them to lose a star. Everything else was perfect and waitstaff was amazing, only wish food was warmer. This is unforgivable in a nice place like this.

Loved this place.The food was awesome, the lady who served us was great with EVERYONE . One of my new " favorite " places. I believe it was the owner who thanked us for coming in at the end.I cannot say enough about this place. I am usually leary of ordering soups out as alot of them are pre-made elsewhere but the Chicken noodle soup was to die for , along with my Caprice salad, Thankyou for a great dinning experience!
