The Schweinshaxen was excellent. Helpful friendly staff, and great value for money, Would certainly return. Great choice of European beers to accompany the classic German food.
Good service friendly waiter. Food was great and to German dining expections. Large servings. We had to take home a doggy bag. an enjoyable lunch and experience .
We had the Meat Platter for 2, and it was amazing. Every piece of meat was soft and falling apart, and the sides were delicious. Gravy was perfect too. We will absolutely be back.
Excellent food. But it took sooo long for the mains to be served. Maybe it's because we requested the entree to be served first, which meant that they started cooking the mains after we finished the entree. I would suggest to request everything to be served at the same time. If it didn't take this long I would have rated 6.
We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food thoroughly. The staff were very polite and helpful. Great place to go. Parking is a bit hard, but not as hard as one anticipated.
The food was excellent value because of big servings. Staff were very friendly and helpful, and I would definitley go back to this restaurant again.
Outstanding service and food Great choice on beer and wide range on food Nice and clean location Quick service Would visit again soon Good throughout
Use this restaurant for pre Christmas dinner with my boyfriend. Menu variety is not enough but services was good enough! I would like to back here again.
Good food good service with large portions great value for ur money this was my 2nd visit did not disappoint so will definitely be back again
Good, hearty food and reasonably good service. A really lovely dinner. Pork knuckle and schnitzels were both quite good. Our kids enjoyed themselves as well.
Really good. Would recommend visiting here for a German. Solid service. Could not fault at all. Doesn't feel overly German re ambience but our group of 4 loved the food.
Great relaxed atmosphere, some nice Bavarian beers on tap and generous portions of hearty fare add up to make the Essen a great option for a dinner near central Sydney. The added bonus of the available deal made the visit great value for money.
The food was okay. There was plenty of food to eat though. The waitress and waiter provided great service. There was only two of them, but they managed to serve everyone very well.
Ownership has changed, it tasted way better before. Service was very slow, they are clearly under staffed on a sunday. There were not even many guests.
Delicious traditional food and atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful staff. A wonderful dining experience. I was there with family and friends for a small birthday celebration. Some of us had eaten there before, others had not, but we would all go back again for another dinner!
We had a great night! The food was really tasty and the servings with very generous. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing.
Excellent food and beer. The pork belly and the pork knuckle have been cooked very well with crispy skin. Even though it is a bit long waiting time for having the food to be ready, it is worth.
We have been here several times. The food, wine and beer were delicious and staff were very friendly and attentive. This place is great for any occasion.
Service was prompt and very efficient. Large serving of good food which all our group enjoyed. All over indulged in dessert. The value was very good. A Very enjoyable lunch had by all.
Great food, beer and atmosphere, staff very efficient, great table that accommodated us all together Whole group enjoyed it immensely, excellent start to xmas holidays
The pork & chicken schnitzel, rosti and sauerkraut were excellent with very good service and reasonable prices. Good variety of beers, wines and ciders to cater for all tastes.
Had a birthday party there, the food was great and the service provided was excellent. Waitresses were very polite too! Definitely will come back again!
Food was absolutely perfect but it was very slow. Pork Bally was cook perfectly. Sausages was very nice and tasty. Anyway we're going back to Essen for sure.
Two traditional dishes (from menu) missing (run out), not too good for lunch!!! restaurant was not full!! Pork knuckle and Salmon were nice Disappointed about the Chocolate and hazelnut strudel a bit too sweet and dry
The meal was very good and the service was great. It was a very generous quantity, well cooked. Very good experience and we enjoyed. We were impressed.
I took my 2 boys here for dinner ... we were on a groupon. Staff were friendly and helpful Food was good. ... very large servings
The food was excellent and the waiter was also excellent. It was reasonably priced and plenty of it. Would definitely go back. Very nice decor.
I loved my first visit to Essen! It has an authentic east European atmosphere (it didn't feel like I was in Sydney) and delicious food and beer, along with excellent service. I look forward to my next visit.
Foods are so nice, good location & excellent services (waiters are friendly & helpful), highly recommended to friends & family Will be back again with family andfriends
I had fun! Nice friendly staff helped my group of 6 have a very good time. The food was good. We all had a great time. Have been once before and would happily go back .
Good location. Great food & service. Wide selection of beers. Very large servings of food. The pretzels are very tasty. I highly recommend the restaurant.
Quiet nice place and staff. The food was tasty as well . Thanks . I have been there before but i think they change a little bit of there display of meal .I remembered that the sausage plate came with a wood plate an no side. However, this time came with mash potato and some sauce . I am not pretty sure if i order an other one. any way .. it worth to go .
Although the food was good but we have to wait for nearly 40minutes just for three schnitzels main meals only. We'll give it another go.
Food is good, maybe the portion can be reduced so that the overal pricing can be reduced as well to make it more attractive to come back again
We' re frequent visitors to Essen, usual good friendly service, and we enjoy going through the schnapp & beer lists. Only problem with this visit was that the pork knuckle was not slow cooked & tender as previous visits. but we will definitely go back again
Great food and attentive service! The Spätzle and the Schnitzel were both amazing. The staff were friendly and prompt. We will definitely be back again.
Great food as always from the Essen team. The chicken jäger schnitzel with potato roti keeps us coming back, the Czech beer 1L steins help as well!
Great German food and plenty of it. A good selection of German beers at reasonable prices which made for very pleasant night out in Broadway
Great beer, great schnitzels, great service! We were pretty much the only people there (it was Wednesday lunch) so it wasn't noisy and we didn't have to wait! Would definitely recommend it.
Gap between starter and mains was a little long but pleasant staff. Seemed to have more takeaway orders to deal with than dining in customers. Food was good
