It is possible to eat some great German foods at this establishment - try the salmon in dill sauce if it is on the menu - and drink some excellent German ales on tap. There is a beer garden, most charming during the sunny... (more)

I was raised my an Austrian mother, and now live 3000 miles away from her. When Speisekammer first opened, the familiar menu was exciting to me. Although the quality never came close to the home-cooking I came to love,... (more)

After reading some of the previous reviews I had to write in with my 2 cents. I used to work at speisekammer and still go in there regularly for dinner. The rude manager guy mentioned in an earlier review is gone now -... (more)

After 10+ meals at Speisekammer, my girlfriend and I decided not to go back. It was no single problem, but a cumulative effect over time. The pros of this restaurant are the family orientation, the great beer, and the... (more)

Citysearch says that they serve brunch, but the resaurant's website mentions only dinner. I'll have to try going there for dinner sometime. The place sounds really fun! (more)

If you are looking for a heavy meal on a cold evening, this is the place in Alameda. The food is very good, a great selection of beer, and a warm comfortable atmosphere. It can get noisy on busy nights. PROS: beer... (more)

I have been to Speisekammer three times and agree that the food, particularly the spaetzle and sauerbraten is excellent; however, the service has never been a high point. At best, the wait staff and kitchen are slow.... (more)

Wonderful food and beer in a very comfortable, friendly atmosphere. We dined at 8:00 on a Sunday night so the restaurant wasn't too crowded. The bread and water was served as soon as we sat down. Service overall was... (more)

A wonderful place to fill yourself with authentic German food and beer. You will leave feeling sleepy and satisfied. I'm confused by past reviews slagging the food (the bread is stale, there's too much pork). That... (more)
