Gerhard's Cafe

Where do I even start?? I was recently hired by Gerhards to capture photo and video content and I was blown away! It lived up to the hype. The staff was SO cool and laid back. The atmosphere was immersive. And the food was incredible. They prepared ten or so dishes for me to photograph and at the end of the shoot I got to sample a good handful of them and every one of them was AMAZING. I got to take the rack home and it was also phenomenal (I was told it was the best item on the menu, and though the competition is tight, I do beleive it). I This place is truly a hidden gem.

Was a little bit skeptical when I saw this place was in a strip mall, but once inside the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We had a beer at the bar before getting a table. The bar staff was very friendly and they have a great selection. Once at our table, our server was awesome, Emily was very knowledgeable about the food and was very attentive. I had the beef stroganoff and my wife had the wiener schnitzel, paired with the Austrian salad. The food was amazingly delicious, and the portions were generous. We had peppered strawberries and apple strudel for dessert. I highly recommend eating here, and we look forward to coming back and trying some more dishes.

This place is phenomenal. From the service to the food to the vibe. We were happy to find that several of their dishes are available in half portions, which is great if you want to have a starter or cup of soup. Pictured are the Wurst Small Plate, fried shrimp, fish and chips, French onion soup, goulash, and beef stroganoff.

Gerhard’s Café is an absolute gem. We’ve been travelling across America and this is hands-down the freshest, most delicious food we’ve had. The tomatoes alone were unforgettable. I can personally vouch for the Beef Stroganoff, rich, tender, and perfectly balanced. Our server Kade was outstanding, warm, knowledgeable, and clearly in love with the history of the restaurant. You can feel the pride in the way she looks after guests. If you’re anywhere near Spartanburg, book a table. Gerhard’s is the kind of place you immediately want to come back to.

We started with the beer battered calamari which was perfectly fried and yummy. We both had salads with the Thai peanut dressing which will be our go to from now on. I had the Australian sea bass and my husband had the Alpine Rouladen, both were delicious! Took home the pistachio cheesecake special dessert and only got a few bites before the kids descended… Cade our service was top notch!
