    Just had xmas lunch at this place, a complete disappointment. The platter for one used to look impressive and was good value, what I received was an insult on a plate for $40. Beware the so called "meat loaf", Spam in a can. All the prices have risen sharply, yet the food quality has dropped big time. I myself work as a chef, and know that its sometimes not your fault. I believe in this case its a matter of management getting greedy. Carry on ripping off the tourists, but I'll bet I am not the only regular to be disappointed.

    The beer is great and the place has a great atmosphere But the food is overpriced for a basic pub meal. I paid $33 for a Pork schnitzel and all it came with were some hot chips and mayo. It's a large schnitzel but certainly not "Giant" as they call it. The meat was dry and all I really got for my money was a plate of deep fried rubbish. If you're thinking of going here for a meal look elsewhere otherwise just go for the beer.

    I was really looking forward to a night at the Lowenbrau (I'm a big fan of the Bavarian Bier Cafe). I was very disappointed about the whole experience.

    My husband and I went for dinner on a Thursday night and were placed in amongst large party groups. Don't get me wrong, I definitely wasn't expecting a romantic dinner however, I thought it would have made more sense to seat us elsewhere. We literally had to yell to have a conversation.

    Secondly, the food was almost unedible. Yes, they were big servings, but the meat was either bland or too dry. The mashed potatoes were not creamy at all.

    Finally, in regards to adcoupe's review on 6/6/11, we also had the platter for 2 which is now $79. I won't be going back to The Lowenbrau again.

    Drinks are the star of this place and it's always packed on weekends so you can have lots of fun here. Be prepared to pay more for drinks though.

    Pretty ordinary food. The beer is the real star at this establishment, as it should be. Well priced and very tasty indeed!

    My frd and I had a nice dinner at Lowenbrau last friday nite, well this is a good place for meat but is also a little too noisy there. At the same time, it is hard to miss their fantastic beer. Well done. The service was really nice and friendly. But the food was average compared with that. Pork was too salty and the salad was just soso but we had a nice time there any way.

    As I dislike "gimmicky" establishments, I avoided this place for many years, whilst my boyfriend has tried to get me to go there for the past 2 years. Eventually I gave in, and I'm so glad that I did. I loved the "oompapah" atmosphere, and the food that I ordered was so tasty. I absolutely loved the goulash for a starter (!), and I picked at my bf's meat platter for a main (we shared the meat platter, and it was more than enough for the two of us) - I devoured the pate, crunchy bread and sauerkraut. Not being a big meat eater didn't pose much of an issue for me, as I still walked away very full, focusing on the side dishes, while my bf ate the meat. A lot of the food on the menu can appear to be quite stodgy, but you just balance it out with a lighter starter or main so as to prevent discomfort. Service was always very quick and friendly. A great place for families, couples who want something a bit different, and larger groups. I really liked the communal tables indoors. Just like a German beer hall. Time flew.

    Visited Lowenbrau on a Friday night. I was impressed by the service , the food came out very quick and the waiter was available whenever requested.
    I would suggest this to anyone for a fullfilling meal, but maybe a bit price, but in combination with the location, it is all good! Well done!

    Really impressed by their service. We asked a plate to be reheated and they gave us a new one instead. Great food and beer, and the live music was great. Definitely an enjoyable experience.
