One of my favorite places to be. Octoberfest and Christmas, and/or band on weekends is fun, food is oh so very good, eat everything you can on your plate good, beer is good, make reservations.
Get the pint of beer, but make sure you enjoy the beer first! The Hofbrau is a little more carbonated than in Germany but it still had a good head on it.
Unwittingly went in on the last day of Oktoberfest and the place was a nightmare. Packed, pared down menu, and incredibly poor service. Great place to dine the rest of the year though.
