The best salmon, bratwurst, pork and overall German food in Alameda. Waiters were great and properly trained. If you go there though, be early or allow some 10-20 minutes to ...

No follow up care from the waitress.forget water refills. we even had to wait 5 minutes at the register to pay our bill. ambience was stark,as described, and for all this,the pric...

Oh, yes! 11/21/2004

This is more than German food, it is just good food. I had no idea what German food was before going there. It is really super delicious! My friend and I had the Salmon special and the "Giant Pork Shank". The salmon pan fried and topped with a creamy cucumber dill sauce that was to die for - served with spinach and mashed potatoes (a tried and true combo). The pork shank was giant! It was cooked on a rotissierie which gave the skin a delicate crunch. I made sandwiches with the leftovers the next day. Cocktails are large and deadly! Watch out for the caffettini - it went down a little too easy. Pros: fireplace, music, cocktails more

I grew up in germany so I have fond memories of german food. Often times the speisekammer lives up to my memories but a couple of times they have fallen short. Pros: great beer more

I grew up in germany so I have fond memories of german food. Often times the speisekammer lives up to my memories but a couple of times they have fallen short. The speisekammer is a fun place to go after a tough day. The atmosphere and the beer are a good perscription for the blues. I always get a good buzz and have a great time even if I have not totally agreed with the authenticity of the dishes. Pros: great beer more

worth a trip 4/2/2004

I most often take advantage of the food and beer recommendations of the friendly staff at Speisekammer, recognizing my betters. I've never been disappointed. The changing specials alone are worth a trip to Alameda. Top that off with live music and I'm happier than a cherry in a black forest cake. more

SF Caliber Food 4/1/2004

Speisekammer really raises the bar for restaurants in Alameda. We no longer have to drive into San Francisco for a higher quality food experience. At the same time, the restaurant maintains the unpretentious atmosphere that is Alameda. Pros: Food, Great Bar, Atmospere more

great food, kid friendly 3/31/2004

I've eaten here at least twice a month since its opening a couple years ago. I usually have three kids in tow and come in around five pm. I've never had a bad experience, and its really nice to be able to eat somewhere nice with little kids. On several occasions before my daughter was walking, one of the waitresses which haden't started her shift yet, carried my daughter around while I ate my food. Talk about service!! The food's good too. Pros: good parking, kid friendly, great service more

Great German food, good for groups! 7/30/2003

I've been to Speisekammer at least three times now and have never been disappointed. Once was with a large group and everything we ordered was excellent. The parking is fairly easy, the wait is never long, unlike the sister restaurant in SF, Suppenkuche, where I waited 2 hours for a table! Try the Spaetzle with carmelized onions and emmenthaler. Pros: Meatloaf, Sauerbraten more

Good food awful service 6/3/2003

I have been to Speisekammer twice because the German fare they serve there is amazing. However, after eating there twice, I've decided not to go back. We waited 15 minutes before our order was taken, and it wasn't busy. We saw our waitress maybe three times throughout the entire meal (including taking our drink order). more

Something different. 4/8/2003

My husband and I are always on a quest to find a kid friendly "nice" restaurant. We found one! A definite great value and absolutely hearty and tasty dinner. We had a relaxing and non-rushed meal with a couple of German biers and finished off with a warm apple struedel to die for. I give my highest recommendation. Pros: great value, out of the ordinary, tasty menu Cons: okay parking more

    Most evenings, this quiet Alameda hofbrau is packed with small groups of friends and families. Stark but spacious rooms are warmed by blond-wood floors and soft lighting....
