Fest Biergarten: Reviews & Ratings
Fest is awesome. Great food, great pretzel and beer cheese, great beer, great service. Beer could be a little bit cheaper and I would come more often.
The beer is good, but the food might be even better! They offer some decent Europen beers, to include a solid option for a Schwarzbier. Having lived in Germany for a few years, the beer options reflect some diverse regions in Germany with an emphasis on Baviarian beer. Polish nights are fantastic with pierogi and sausages. Ask about the beer stein. Kids meals are generous and affordable.
It makes me feel like I'm back in college drinking and having a good time with friends, but also great service, great food options, and great decor and atmosphere . I had a Beer Burger that was so delicious that I almost had forgotten I had ordered a beer (czechvar) to go with it! Highly recommend that beer, by the way... sour and sweet but not overwhelming but also not TOO strong. This was my very first time going to this place, and you can bet I'll be going again!
We visit family in Richmond and always said we wanted to visit. On our last visit we had our Son with us on leave from duty in Japan. We all went and it was great. My son introduced us to things we had not eaten before. It was great!
Family-friendly and delicious food! This was our first time here and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We had the sausage platter, schnitzel, and two types of sausages; as well as fries, chips, mac-n-cheese, and potato salad as sides. My kiddos ate it all up (which says a lot for sometimes picky minions). The chips are handcut and crisp; definitely a must-try. I also tried out a lemon radler and saw them mix beer off the tap and fresh lemonade; ice cold and refreshing! Seating is bench-style seating and also had a covered patio area. Only downside was the slightly slow service to get our food, so be prepared to wait a bit, but well worth it. Will definitely be back!
We’ve been ordering from Fest for years...usually takeout. The food is always good. Usually, everything goes perfectly but when it doesn’t, they do make it right.....and that is a rarity with most businesses. We love the burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, salads, and pretzel with beer cheese. They also carry Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches. We will definitely order again soon.
Low key atmosphere to enjoy a beer and some really tasty German food. I'm especially a fan of their giant pretzel, which came out molten hot, delightfully soft, and ridiculously delicious with the mustard and beer cheese.
The inside looks amazing, the way they do ordering was definitely new to me. Im a picky eater and a lot on the menu scared me. The pretzel was to die for and was about two times my head! Their beer cheese was fantastic! It's amazing. Definitely need to go.
