We just ate here tonight and I'm sorry to say I would have to second fudluver1 and emmeya's assessments. I saw that red cabbage comes as a side to most of the meals and I was expecting a nice braised red cabbage but what you get is something that looks like cranberry jelly and is about as sweet. The brats were mushy and the sauerkraut tasted very fatty. And the bathroom did smell bad! Granted I have never been to Germany so perhaps this is authentic but if so I am not a fan.

re: suse
Well I spent three weeks in Germany (Berlin, Munich and Baumberg) and can honestly say I am not a fan of German food. As far as whether or not it is authentic......kind of based on my experince in Germany. I had the Yeagermister snitzel and it was pretty good. My boyfriend ordered rabbit and braut in tomato sauce. My GOD what was he thinking???? German food and tomatoe sauce scares the crap out of me ;-) Stick to the snitzel and they do have awesome beers. I do agree they are overpriced.

Never been to the Brathaus but I have been to Germany. No, what you described is not what you'll find in Germany and is not what you should expect from a wursthaus either here or anywhere else. And there's no good reason for the bathrooms to consistently smell bad unless they're not being cleaned on a regular basis.

re: rockycat
There is something fishy about this place. When they opened in Cary there were stories of lines out the door and how authentic everything was. I went to the Cary location about 6 months ago and it was awful. The famous brats were dry as can be and the spatzle was questionable. I don't get the authentic comments. Go try a sausage at Betski's to compare.

If I was going to use one word to describe it, it would be yucky.
Didn't like the mashed potatoes, the sauerkraut, the german potato salad, the pretzel roll, the smell of the bar and bathroom.
OK: the overcooked brats
sadly delicious, but not really: rolls, tomato salad with vinaigrette. spatzle that were like gummy french fries...but greasier.
I won't be going back...

I haven't been there, but I saw the building and found their menu online. It appears to be specific to the Durham location: http://bavarianbrathaus.info/

My boyfriend and I went the Bavarian Brathaus in Durham Saturday night, and it was truly an awful experience... The service was extremely poor, and the food did not make up for it. We both ordered wursts, which were all completely devoid of moisture - it was like eating tasteless cardboard. The rest of the meal was not much better - the sauerkraut was also moisture-free, and the one or two spoonfuls of potato salad were virtually flavorless. Maybe these are growing pains, but we have no plans to return anytime soon to find out if they have matured into a decent restaurant...

Hmm, I've come to believe that location is jinxed - there have been several different restaurants in there since we moved to NC and they've all failed. If the prices are as high in the Durham location as they are in Cary, things might not go so well for this place either ...
