Price Range:
$10-$15 an entree
This past weekend some friends of ours, Craig and myself attempted to attend Oktoberfest up in Snowbird, however, when we arrived they were evacuating everyone because of an unforeseen complication. We decided that since we were denied the food and joys of Oktoberfest to venture down to Midvale and visit The Bohemian Brewery. I had heard good things from various friends about the food and decided we should try it.
Order:
Classic Reuban: $9 This Reuban consists of rye bread, swiss cheese, sauerkraut and pastrami instead of corned beef. You can tell a good reuban by how fresh the sauerkraut is and I would say this reuban is definitely one of the better in it's class because of the sauerkraut. You can tell The Bohemian Brewery's sauerkraut was fresh because the cabbage still had a slight crunch to it and as far as flavor, it was some of the sweetest sauerkraut I've ever had. Nothing like the overly "preserved" sauerkraut you find at the store in the jar. Also the pastrami was not too overpowering as one might think and complimented the mixture of sauerkraut and swiss nicely. Another fantastic thing about this entree is that it's served with The Bohemian Brewery's signature garlic fries. They were so fresh and garlicky, you could smell the garlic from right outside the restaurant. If you're in the mood for a traditional sandwich, the Classic Reuben should be taken into serious consideration.
Bavarian Brats: $12 This simple entree consists of two Bavarian bratwursts served with sauerkraut, mustard, and seasoned potatoes. The potatoes were cooked O'Brian style and lightly seasoned so as to not steal the show from the bratwursts. The bratwursts were stuffed with just the right amount of meat and seasonings as to give it a sweet yet slightly spicy flavor. The sauerkraut complimented the brats perfectly with it's sweet and slightly sour flavor by allowing the brat to still hold it's own spicy flavor.
Pierogies and Bratwurst: $15 This was Craig's choice and he did not regret it one bit. Another dish that included the above described bratwurst was complimented with four cheese and potato stuffed pierogies. These pierogies were delightfully heavy like much of Bavarian food but was lightened up by the dill flavored sour cream that accompanied it. They were served with sauerkraut and bacon sprinkled on top to give them a salty flavor. This dish is definitely a good choice if you're looking for more than just a bratwurst.
Bohemian Goulash: $15 I chose the Bohemian Goulash because I knew I would regret it if I didn't get an authentic Hungarian dish. I am without regret. The meat was the first thing I noted with my first bite of this goulash. It was so tender it practically fell apart in my mouth. The vegetables in the goulash were tender but not mushy, which is a hard feat when braising meat for as long as i'm sure they braised it. And the sauce was perfectly spiced with paprika that it wasn't too spicy but just enough to know that there was some in it. Alongside the goulash was served a mini loaf of soft, almost gooey, bread. All in all, a fantastic choice for a cold day.
Service:
The service was laid back and warm. When I asked for suggestions, the server was quite helpful and willing to describe the different entrees that I was having a hard time deciding between. Also, my drink was never empty, which means a lot since I always seem thirstier at restaurants.
All together, it was a fine dining experience and Craig and I can't wait to go back!
