A Review of Jacob Wirth Restaurant in Boston

German Restaurants in Boston

Jael Uribe
Are you German or just enjoy their food? I can show a nice a German place in Boston you can go with friends, choose from an awesome beer selection and have a great time.

This restaurant is located right on the border of China Town and is one of the oldest restaurants in Boston. Actually the city's 2nd oldest one. Its appearance has changed little since it opened in 1868. Even if it's not a fancy place; however the food in there is what you could perfectly call an old-new England flame. They offer a mouth watering food selection that goes from Mushroom and Ale Pie, to the Pork Schnitzel and if you want a food that just melts in your mouth, try their Sauerbraten. Don't forget to try the salads.

Are you a beer's lover?

Make your reservations right away and be ready to try the biggest beer selection ever! This restaurant hold around 50 different beer types and the bartender is very knowledgeable and can give you excellent recommendations about which beer to choose according to your food selection. Want a reason to get there? You can get a hoegaarden (a white Belgium beer), dark, fruity, Sam Adams among others beer types.

If you want some bar snack, try their Sweet potatoes, they are a blast! And their pretzels are good too. This is an experience you'll never forget.

Make sure you make reservations, and get there early if you want to try a large selection of items. If you are one of the persons that just drop by, it might be very difficult for you to get a table since they might be either occupied of reserved in there is always a full house, and the food to order just flies by and they run out fast. Never come in a hurry since perfect food takes time to be made.

The place is a little loud, so is not good for you to get a calm conversation, but to go hang out with friends. However, every Friday night, you get live piano sing-along group that works as a live karaoke for those who dare to sing along, they even offer a book with old and new song for you to choose!

So next time you want to go out, don't miss the occasion to visit this lovely German restaurant...I bet you'll come back!

Tip: Give the waiter a smile, places like that work under much of stress and sometimes people seems rude but they are only tired.

    Growing up as a Jewish kid in Boston in the 50's - German food was not a popular thing - and, as tastes tend to develop in childhood - I never did find a liking for either the food, the accent or the attitudes that seem so prevalent to me - in an admittedly stereotypical way. I'm sure it was as good as you say and my step-father would, no doubt, love it! (He's Jewish too - just happens to love German cuisine!.)
