We came for lunch but ended up ordering off the dinner menu. We had the Schnitzel with one side. We had never had the spaetzle. It was very different! I've never had anything like it. The schnitzel with the mushroom gravy was absolutely fantastic. We had 2 of the best servers. They were extremely nice and helpful. When we asked them about the menu and what the items were like. They also had live music playing, and the owner just hanging out talking to all the guests. It was a lovely experience, and we can't wait to come back and try more things on the menu. We LOVE Rolf's!!

German food! In Tuscaloosa? I dragged my daughter here after touring UofA. They had recently opened after moving. I asked about spaetzle as I thought I saw it on Google menus. It wasn't a lunch option, but our server said she'd ask. Great lunch. The owner came over with some home made pizza that was delightful (and free), and I got my spaetzle! Great food, great service, and an awesome spot. I will definitely come back when I'm in town.

Great food! Been here several times now and had something different each time and haven't been disappointed yet. The owner is very friendly and engaging with his guest. If you're lucky, he'll even play his accordion for you. Friendly servers...decent prices. Last time I had the brioche French toast and cappuccino.

Went for brunch, the food and coffee was delicious.Menu could use a little more info about what some of the items are, but the staff was friendly and helpful.We were in for a really fun surprise when the owner randomly played the accordion for a couple of minutes. You don’t get that anywhere else in town as far as I’m aware.

10/10! The food was delicious! We were stationed in Germany years ago and this brought us right back! Authentic German beer & food. All homemade breads that were amazing. My son's girlfriend ordered the hot mustard and they came out and asked her how spicy she wanted it because they made it to order. She said it was great! We ordered the Jagerschnitzel, Gyro plate and bratwurst with sauerkraut. The ownertended bar and also played accordion and guitar! We will definitely be back!!

Had the beef goulash. Very good! Black Forest cake, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Authentic German fare. Try the German meatloaf sandwich! The bread is homemade, the kraut salad is mild and does not overpower, and the meatloaf is spiced perfectly. Kind, friendly service.

Had lunch here today with my daughter. Nice atmosphere and the service was great. The owner was there and was very personable. Our server, Andra, greeted us warmly as soon as we walked in. It was only his second day but he did a great job. The food was excellent. We started with a pretzel and it was as good as any I've had. Very soft with a great taste. My daughter's pizza was very good and my schnitzel sandwich was great. The schnitzel was light and tasted great. We will definitely return to try the bratwurst, waffles, desserts, and to hear the owner's musical performance.

I have traveled all over and Rolf's ranks right up there within the top 5 of my favorite restaurants and is #1 when it comes to authentic German cuisine. All the beers on tap (*except for Guinness) are imported directly from Germany. The sausage's are top notch especially being farm to table. If you're looking for made from scratch food, especially German style, you can beat Rolf's.

I was so excited to have a German restaurant to only be let down. The place is small so I did not expect to have to wait over an hour after ordering our food. Mine came out 15 minutes before my husband's. The schnitzel was great but avoid the spaetzle and meatloaf. My husband did not eat any of his dinner. The cart of dirty dishes was also disgusting. The people were nice and the wait staff worked very hard but it was not worth the wait.
