If there’s a more authentic German restaurant out there I struggle to imagine what it would be. Great selection of traditional German fare, drink, beers and dessert. Decor was indisputably German right down to the traditional music playing in the background. All members of our party had something different and all enjoyed. The apple strudel for dessert was a particular hit. After this first discovery we look forward to our next visit to try something else!

A cozy, family friendly, German themed gem. Fantastic German beers on tap (including Weihenstephaner Korbinian when I was there) and pretty authentic dishes as well from what I could tell. I had the Sauerbraten with red cabbage and roasted veggies and it was all very tasty (if a bit sweet for my taste). The pretzel with mustard and buttered rolls that are given as an appetizer were really tasty as others have mentioned, I’m sure. Plus the service was friendly and attentive, and the decor was old-fashioned and homey. Highly recommended for dinner solo, with your SO or with family/friends!

The food at Richard’s was nothing short of fantastic! My wife and I both got the German sampler because we couldn’t choose just one dish. If you are looking for a combination of sweet and savory, this is your best bet! Not to mention the pretzel and fluffy roll that accompanied them. Both dishes were more than filling and completely satisfied us.

Even with reservations it took 20 minutes after arrival to be seated. The hostess ignored us and we were left outside having to keep coming back inside to ask if our table was ready. Once seated it took 10 minutes for a server to come to the table. We were seated 20 minutes before our order was taken, 30 minutes to get bread, and it took over an hour to be served our dinner. After being seated 1 hr 45 min we were desperate for the check, but the server was absent and no one else checked in on us. After being seated for 2 hrs we finally were given our bill so we could leave. We were sitting there with empty dishes and glasses and ignored even at the end of our time when only 2 other tables remained. It was impossible to get water at our table or any refills. As for the food, we were never told any specials or veg of the day, the bread rolls were good, pretzels seemed to be made from frozen. None of us enjoyed our side dishes – bread dumplings were dry and dense, hot potato, spatzle, weinkraut all left uneaten. Most of the food was out dated, overcooked, and heavily sauced. The only item at our table that got a good review was the burger. I wanted to love this place, but 1 hr to be served and over 2 hrs to complete service is just unacceptable

Food wasn’t great and service was a little slow but good concept because there is very little German food in the Portland and Brusnwick area. Personally I reccomend the pan fried haddock with the red cabbage and the warm potato salad, it was the best within our group!

I had the braised beef with potatoes and veggies and my partner had the schnitzel with red cabbage and potatoes. A delicious and hearty meal. Didn’t give 5 stars only because it wasn’t a WOW meal, but we would definitely come back again.

Love coming here for dinner. I lived in Germany for 2 years and Richard’s as authentic as you can get over here. They also have a good amount of German beers on tap!

Really good food, friendly service and great atmosphere. I would have given 5 stars but service was pretty slow. Seems like they could use a couple more waiters or waitresses. Price was a little higher but worth it for the quality of the food.
