Delicious food and fantastic atmosphere. We couldn't have asked for nicer evening with lovely hosts. Definitely going back soon.
Superb service, exceptional food!
Excellent service, food, and very well priced! Great dining experience.
Food and service are fantastic! Chocolate cake yum
Great food! Will definitely be back soon. Best to make a reservation.
Spectacular meal last night, and darling little restaurant. Thank you so much for accommodating us with two newborn babies in tow, because of you we all had a delightful early Valentine's Day!
das beste was es hier gibt in canada vielen dank dafür :-)
If you haven't been to the Schnitzel Haus you haven't been to Calgary! #yyc Great family and great food! Go! Do it!
Fantastic place to eat, and great service.
Exellent service, food and place.
Great authentic German food, good drink, friendly staff, and a comfortable environment. It was a fantastic experience and I'll definitely be coming here again!
They have a good wine and beer selection. Hostess is very friendly. Most of all, the food is really good. We had the Jäger Schnitzel and the Tiroler Schnitzel, with Spätzle on the side. I thought it would be super starchy and filling, but it turned out to be just the right portion. Will definitely come back. It's a small, homey place. There were only two tables (including ours) when we came tonight. The food took a while to come out, but it was well worth the wait!
Great place with great, tasty food. Pretty authentic with good beer to wash it all down. I like the neighbourhood friendly and warm atmosphere. Nice staff!

I just want to start off by saying, don’t believe Mike, don’t even read his review. Although if you got to my review you probably already read it but don’t believe him.
I totally loved the Weiner Haus, ever since my trip to Europe I was intent on trying Weiner Schnitzel and I tell you, the schnitzel I had here was BETTER than the schnitzel I had in Vienna. But let’s rewind.
The Weiner Haus doesn’t look like much, it’s a quaint little place that almost feels like a house instead of a restaurant, but it also makes you feel more at home than a restaurant would. The carpeted floors made it was very warm and inviting, like a favourite grandparents place. I also really liked all the plates and dishes that they had, they were very authentic and fit the theme nicely.
Now the food was insanely good. For drinks we enjoyed a smooth Stiegl Radler, which is light, fruity, crisp and great for when you have to drive later (am I right DD’s?!). To start off we had the Mac and Cheese, which is one of their most popular menu items, as well as the pretzel and smear. Both were great but the pretzel stole my heart, I mean the smear was smashing!
Now the main course was a whole lotta delicious. I got the Alpen Schnitzel which was filled with air dried bacon, emmental cheese, and fresh mushrooms (wow). The schnitzel was breaded to perfection, not too much breading, not to little. Crispy but subtle and with a squeeze of lemon it was the flavour plethora your mouth has been asking for. To add to that it came with the best darn fries I have had in a long time. The fries were perfectly salted and cooked. I like my fries on the less crispy side and I was a big fan.
We couldn’t manage to eat dessert to but I am sure it would have measured up to the rest of the meal, and the great company we had! I am just grateful Jackie and Morgan showed us the place, and if I have to go back without my beloved Mike, I have to do what I have to do.

I decided to try this place for dinner a day after my birthday. I was super excited because the menu looked great if you like authentic German/Austrian food. I have been to both countries and the food at wiener-schnitzel haus is as authentic as it gets. (Delicious). The atmosphere is very cozy and owners are extremely friendly. My family will defiantly be back again. Thanks for the great birthday dinner.
Always great, fresh food. Small, family run and quaint. The service is lovely and the food is reliable, our family loves coming here. It really is worth a try.
Every time I go here I can't wait to go back. I've had the traditional wiener-schnitzel always with spatzle (it's the greatest!), I've also had the pear and brie schnitzel which is also very very very good. The vegetables are always cooked to perfection, as is the schnitzel and spatzle (German dumpling pasta). I have gone here multiple times with one other person and I've also been here with a group of 6. They are such friendly staff and the food is amazing! It's a small restaurant so you may want to make reservations.
My boyfriend and I decided to come here for dinner on a Friday evening. I called ahead to make reservations to ensure that we were guaranteed a spot :) The restaurant is not very big and I would highly recommend making reservations before going (approximately 10 tables). Once we got there, we were greeted by the owner. She was very sweet and advised us that it would be a few minutes as they got our table ready. Every table was occupied. The restaurant like mentioned above in the history is family operated. The daughter came over to serve us and take our order. She suggested that we try their Austrian Salad which is not your typical salad. The salad consisted of 3 different varieties of greens and vegetables, which I will go into more detail below. We both ordered a breaded schnitzel with a side of spatzle, and shared the salad.

Wow, we came in with no expectations. Were we ever impressed!! Really nice quiet atmosphere, great music, fantastic food. We will certainly be coming back. A very pleasant surprise!
Amazing Food.. We were in for my wife's birthday and were treated wonderful. It's seafood free so we don't have to worry about cross-contamination!

We celebrated a birthday at the Schnitzel Haus tonight. It was our second visit and we had reservations both times( necessary). The food and atmosphere are amazing and service attentive. We especially loved the sparkler and happy birthday sing along with dessert. We will be back!
Decent food, service is lacking.. This small family runner restaurant does produce very appetizing food, but we consistently lack in service whenever we dine here.

Fantastic. I ate here this evening for the first time and was very pleasantly surprised. Being German I've had my fair share of Schnitzel, and this was one of the best I've had. The breading was crisp, it wasn't greasy or soggy, and the flavours were spot-on. The salad and roasted vegetables that came with my meal were delicious. They also have a well-rounded selection of German and Austrian beers.
Regarding the comments about "slow service", it's just a different style that's more similar to the European way of dining. Enjoy it!
Fantastic. We have been to the Wiener-Schnitzel Haus, on two occations now, and on both occations the Food and Service has been FIRST CLASS.
Schnitzel's are the Best in Calgary.
I lived in Frankfurt for a few years, so I know a good Schnitzel when I eat one.
Pity they do not have Eisbein/Schweinshaxe on the menu!
Book in advance and you will never be dissapointed.
Love it and can't wait for my next meal there.
Come And Enjoy. Some people say the service here is slow. I prefer to think of it as European. If you want to dine and dash American style, go to McDonald’s. If you want to come in, relax, take your time and enjoy a good meal, then this is your place. The place is small and appears to be family run, but with an ounce of patience, you will have a nice evening out. Also do yourself a favor and phone in a reservation. Like I said, it’s small and I think it’s family run so any advance notice you give only helps to grease the wheels.
I've been here 5 or 6 times now over the years. Every time had a reservation and every time had an excellent experience. In fact, that’s the plan for tonight!
We have been going to this restaurant since it opened and we all love it. The owners treat us like family and it is wonderful to have your name and likes/dislikes remembered. The food is awesome and they really should expand! :)
The best Schnitzel I ever had in my life ....I know this place now for more than 5 years and I have try many Restaurants in my life but this place offers the best schnizel I ever had ....GOOD JOB....keep up the good work..:)
Val.
Delish. Home cooked authentic austrian food.... it was great. very small but cozy inside so maybe make reservations..

Best Schnitzel Ever!. I grew up in Germany and sometimes do get a bit homesick for good traditional food. Tried out everything in Austrian/Swiss/German cuisine in Calgary and area and this has been by far my best dinner in town in a long time!
This is a small place with a small menu - and big flavours! The schnitzels are tender and done to perfection. You can choose if you prefer the breaded version or a pan-fried one. The last time we went we tried both options and loved them equally. My biggest surprise was the house salad. It comes as a combination of cucumber salad, potato salad, red and white cabbage salads and some dark leaf lettuce. Done with a fresh modern twist on the traditional recipes they were as successful as the main dish. Of course we couldn't resist trying the Apfelstrudel for dessert (served with real whipped cream and not the stuff from a can) and were not disappointed. I'm looking forward to going back to try their other traditional dessert option - the Cardinal Slice.
The drinks menu includes some hard to find Austrian and German beers. I had a Löwenbräu, served with a perfect head ;-) If you want water it is served from a bottle with some lemon zest and a fresh mint leaf.
Do give this little place a try and do make reservations ahead of time.
Authentic. Finally; a place that sells true Austrian-style schnitzel; that means butterflied, pounded flat, with flaky light, puffy breading. None of this thick juicy stuff here. The spatzle is authentic as well.
Also had the kalt plasse which I can wholeheartedly recommend; having a nice assortment of dried meats and cheeses in typical German style.
Very cozy, great service. Prices are a bit higher, but well worth it.

Good stuff overall.. Short version: tasty and comfortable, though not perfect. It's pricy, but worth it especially if you get the gulasch.
We planned a family dinner here tonight, and so we made a reservation (almost a must at this place). It was a bit unfortunate in that we were seated right by the door at a makeshift table, through which sub-zero breezes would blow every time people went in and out. But! There are few tables at this place, so it wasn't a huge deal. Somebody has to sit there, I guess. Still, a small screen would be very useful here.
First: cleanliness. Yes, everything was very nice and clean. The kitchen is mostly open, and I had a prime view of most of what was going on in there. It appeared to all be professional and respectable, sane and organized.
The service was friendly and warm, if occasionally absent-minded. A few times some small requests were forgotten and we had to remind them, but it was nothing that detracted from the overall casual and friendly feel that everyone had.
The food itself was all quite excellent. We started with a shared Kalte Platte. It was much more like a common e.g. French charcuterie plate than any kalte platte I've had while in Austria or Germany. That's not a criticism, exactly... The cured meats were all good quality, and while it may not be like any K-P I've ever had while actually in Europe, I'd say the difference is, if anything, an improvement.
The main event included traditional Wiener schnitzel, gulasch with spaetzle, jaeger schnitzel, and rahm schnitzel. The namesake Wiener schnitzel was tasty, and it was not the least bit greasy. The signature puffy cloud envelope of crust was not there, however, which means I still have yet to find a Wiener schnitzel comparable to those actually found in Wien. Rather than a puffy airy shell, it was a "normal" breading that stuck directly to the meat.
The Austrian side salads were interesting, tasty, and would not be out of place at all in Austria.
The jaeger and rahm schnitzels were both delicious: tender schnitzels with two tasty creamy sauces and excellent spaetzle.
Finally, the gulasch was the true winner overall I'd say. The meat was beautifully tender, and a little zing of spicy hot paprika kept it all very interesting. Add in some of those lovely little spaetzle and you've got an amazing meal. When I go back, this is what I'll order.
Finally, we had desserts and coffee. Between us we tried the apple strudel, the sour cherry strudel, and the Cardinal slice. The apple was respectably good -- warm and satisfying. I really liked the zing of the sour cherry strudel. I didn't get a chance to try the Cardinal slice, as it disappeared long before I had a chance to stab a fork at it. I'm assured that it was amazing :D
The Parisian schnitzel stuffed with Brie and fresh pear, served with spatzle, was delicious. Friendly service. Family run. Cozy. Reservations recommended.
Outstanding schnitzel and friendly service. We have been numerous times and brought various friends and family who all liked it too! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is nicer.
Absolutely Fantastic!. I dobn't know why I haven't reviewed this place before. We have been coming here for quite some time now, and we are always (always!) very pleased with our visit. Brian (a highly trained chef) knows exactly what he's doing with a schnitzel. And there are choices! Lots of good choices on the menu, and every one is made personally ... with obvious love and care ... by Brian. If you like schnitzel, and spetzle, go, go.
Nice family restaurant. I TOOK MY THREE CHILDREN HERE TONIGHT AND BOTH THE SERVICE AND FOOD WAS GREAT! The schnitzel was outstanding. I am a chef as is my husband, and we loved it. OUr three kids all enjoyed their meals as well. The owner served us and she was a delightful woman. We will be back to try other menu items for sure.

Great Schnitzel - harmony in flavour and texture. I'd had good schnitzel in London Ontario at Marienbad, and missed it when I got here... 'til I found this place. My husband and I each got a schitzel dinner (mine was the Tiroler and his the Zigeuner). Both were good, but my husband ooohed-and-awwed over my Tiroler schitzel: what with the bacon and melty swiss, it was a harmonious union. The dinners came with vegetables and spaetzel (both good). I admit I'm still left wanting that awesome creamy cheese-and-bacon-and-herb-sauced spaetzel I had at Tumbleweeds in Medicine Hat though...
We also got some good beers; I had Edelweiss, which had an interesting flavour (not for you if you like your beer pretty standard). Service was slow at the start, but smooth thereafter, and always friendly.
Dessert wasn't as nice as I'd expected - we split an apple strudel. The filling was a bit... mealy? (hard to describe) and the pastry a bit mushy. Oh well... I'll have to have try strudel at the Watermill Bakery sometime to make up for it (...or head to Edelweiss Imports to see what they offer besides Black Forest Cake ;)
The place is small, so call ahead (at a minimum) or make reservations. It's relatively casual.
Delicious Food!. I went to Wiener-Schnitzel Haus for dinner on Friday night. The food was so delicious, and so authentic. I spent a few weeks in Austria and Germany last summer, and the schnitzel here was as good if not better than any I tried in Europe. We also had spatzle, which tasted just like my grandma's. The restaurant is much nicer inside than the outside would lead you to believe. It seemed to be run by a mother-daughter team, and they were serving all the tables. Service was a tad slow at the end because they were so busy, but it was well worth it for the quality of food. I'll definitely visit again!

My favorite!!. My favorite of all times and I am not even Austrian!!
The quality of the food is phenomenal and authentic. The atmosphere is outstanding. The family that runs the place is extremely nice and personable.
I am picky...I tend to look for things I don't like - I loved almost everything about this place. The interior of the restaurant is cozy and inviting. The only thing is...the restaurant owners would do well if the outside of their restaurant reflected more of what the restaurant actually is. It took me a long time to enter this restaurant because from the outside it looks dingy. If only they would just change the signs to something slightly more elegant. The location is fine and considering they are part of a strip mall they can probably not do much, but the least they should do is update those signs.
Having said all that, this is my favorite restaurant in Calgary. There are other restaurants that have great food, but few restaurants are run by such a genuinely nice family.
This has been one of our family's restaurant of choice for special occasions since we discovered it about 10 years ago. The quality of the food is consistent and we've never had a single dining experience that was less than superb. A locally owned and operated hidden gem, can't recommend it enough!
I had the gulasch soup and jäger schnitzel. Both had incredible flavour, I would have wanted more soup but it would have been too much with the size of the schnitzel. The schnitzel was phenomenal. Definitely would recommend treating yourself at this restaurant.
I have dined at this fine restaurant 3 times now. Every time I have had an amazing dinner! The service is very good. Friendly staff and a nice environment. I don't mind paying a bit more for 5 star food. I will be back again.
It was Christmas Eve and we had not yet decided on a meal with lockdowns and all. I decided to try the restaurant for take out but it was quite late in the evening. They stayed open late to accommodate our family....Very kind!
The meal provided was excellent. The Schnitzel was top notch as were the potatoes and cabbage. I can't recommend this restaurant enough and the exceptional owners.
We've been coming here for amazing, fresh schnitzel since they opened this family run restaurant over ten years ago. The food is always spot on and this is always my go to restaurant for my birthday or any special occasion that warrants a night out. Rich and a little indulgent it's a perfect place to enjoy authentic schnitzel. Our absolute favorite thing on the menu is the Jaeger Schnitzel (also known as hunter schnitzel with a mushroom brandy sauce) and the desserts are made in 'haus'. Can't recommend enough if you're looking for something different! It's a small family restaurant so I'd also recommend reservation if you're a large group.
Schnitzel and beer tasted great. Atmosphere was nice and cozy. Good service. For a drink and entree expect to spend at least $37 to $50 plus tip per person.

A friend treated me too dinner here. Came back two nights later with eight of us for a Birthday dinner. Yes the food was that good...in fact, I cant recall a restaurant in Calgary with this uniqueness!
There was genuine care for customer needs. The staff keep it real. Their humor, and pride... shines in this atmosphere. Its all combined together.. Very delighted with this nugget in the rough!
