I was so excited when I saw the line coming out the door. We waited in line for at least 45 minutes before ordering the wienerschnitzl, spicy goulash, Reuben sandwich, and goulash soup with sides of cucumber and tomato salad, fried potatoes, borsch, and shrimp salad. Having had all these items in Germany and the Czech Republic the food was decent but not worth the wait. They do have an incredible selection of deli items and breads but we did not order from this section as it was incredibly busy and I didn't feel like there was time to look through the case or ask questions. The staff seemed exhausted by the constant flow of people and were not happy with the guy ordering meats and cheeses out of order. This is a great experience for children and teens learning German or exploring their German heritage. If you go I recommend the Reuben sandwich, cucumber and tomato salad, and sauerkraut.

I am not German nor will I ever claim to be any sort of knowledgeable expert. However, I appreciate the people, the culture, and have learned a bit of language. This is, hands down, the absolute best German restaurant/shop I've visited outside of Germany (I've been 3 times). They even carry marmalade from East Germany! I came here for a lunch honestly not knowing what to expect. I find it's best to start the experience without expectations so you can really appreciate what the owners are trying to present. These owners are from Germany and actually import everything I posted and if not they create the rest! For lunch, I decided upon the "spicy" Hungarian goulash. I know - call a foul. It's not traditional German food we Americans would think of. Well that's where you are mistaken. German food is also highly influenced by their neighbors, and this ancient dish is no exception! Honestly though, outside of Germany, this is the best I've found this far. Here they serve it over Spätzle (because yes!) with a roll. Wow! No complaints and I love it! And too be quite frank... For the price compared to the rest of the SLC eateries, there is no better deal you could find in terms of quality and even quantity. Now, the lunch was only part of the experience. The rest is an amazing little shop they've created alongside it. So many great items! Wurst? Check. Brötchen? Check. Senf? You got it. Just look at the photos. If you are a German expat looking for a little slice of home, then you just might find it here.

Siegfried's is the real deal. I haven't found more authentic German food in Utah anywhere else. Their prices are reasonable and the food is excellent! There is even a small market inside with German goods from which I always purchase something.

Stopped in on our way to a show at The Eccles Theater. This was a short walk from the event, but far enough out to avoid the crowds. The food quality is high, the dishes are authentic, and the options, although limited, leave you wanting to share with your friends so you can try them all (which is exactly what we did). Coffee was great, no cream or sugar needed. Our food came out quickly so we got in and out in a snap. I want to go back and shop their German market as soon as I can. The candy and deli counter look awesome.

Best German food in town clean nice deli with great snacks to take home. The service is always short and curt but that gives you the true German experience. Be sure to get dessert as well.

Visited Siegfried’s Deli with my son who has lived in Germany and he was pretty excited to see the authentic menu items and items on the shelves for purchase. I also enjoyed the food and really enjoyed the slice of Marzipan cake, which happens to be at the top of my list, and it didn’t disappoint. For as busy as it was, we didn’t have any trouble getting a table to enjoy our meal. The staff are very polite and accommodating.

Finally tried Siegfried's for the first time. A great little German delicatessen. We tried the schnitzel with gravy, Reuben sandwich, goulash with spätzel, sides of cold potato salad and macaroni salad, with apple strudel for dessert. The schnitzel was the favorite for all of us. We will come back to try other items on the menu.

Siegfried's is the cutest place! I'm so glad I know this little spot is here! Their goulash is really good, as is their spicy goulash and their sandwiches. They have all kinds of candy and trinkets as well.

This was our second time here. Their bratwurst is delicious and they have a few types of mustard to eat with it. I recommend the spicy mustard. I got their schnitzel and bratwurst with their lager. We came in just before 8 pm on Saturday. They had most of the store being cleaned for the evening ans lots of the bar stools put away which felt odd with patrons eating there. The other time we came the place was almost full. So this might just be an end of week thing. The cashier was very helpful. They also have a nice selection of European chocolate.

Best sauerkraut and rotkohl in the West. Authentic, fresh German food plus a great selection of European products on their grocery shelves. Great folks, a fun place to visit!

Probably the most authentic German food you can find in the Salt Lake area. Lots of imported goods and the deli is really well stocked. They're really busy at lunch time, but you can usually find a couple seats. Especially with the outdoor seating in the Summer.

Good place to get your German food fix. Had Goulash and Wienerschnitzel, both very good. German beer on tap.. Lots of German grocery items as well. Will be back

I love this place - really tasty German dishes good for lunch or dinner, and a little import grocery section. Absolutely the best place to find good German chocolates and other tasty products like curry ketchup. The food service line is a little slow because they don't have a huge kitchen, but it's worth it.

I ordered the wiener schnitzel with 2 sides (macaroni and coleslaw). The food was was good but not the best German meal I’ve ever had. Their staff (particularly Gohar) can benefit from learning good and indiscriminate customer service. Will likely NOT come back (nor recommend the place) because of this.

Always a great stop. Get what you want it’s all awesome. I stop in every time I’m in salt lake. Don’t ever want it to go away.

Siegfried's Deli is always a delight. I love their wienerschnitzel and red cabbage and the desserts are yummy too! So glad that they're still in business.

How did I not know that this place existed?? Definitely a European feel as you walk in. The service was great. Fast! The food was tasty. I will be back as I want to try other things on the menu and I want to peruse through the store to see all the chocolate and European candy options. I will be back.

Barley just okay. We came at 3:30 PM. Goulash with Spaetzle room temperature. Bratwurst good, but I've had a good brat at a baseball game...my late aunt made way better German potato salad and she was from Scotland!...based on reviews, place must be better if you go during lunch rush...from my heart, the staff should take a little Chic Fil A "niceness" training....seriously, anyone in the restaurant business should go to Chic Fil A and emulate how you get treated there!

On Saturday I got food poisoning here and almost died. I puked 5 times and haven’t been able to eat in 3 days. I contemplated going to the hospital. It’s now Tuesday and I’m still not even 50% yet. Although I like the people and the concept, this place needs to be shut down. If an older person would eat this, they would have surely died. I’ve never been so violently ill from eating something like I did here.

THE FOOD IS WONDERFUL AND SUCH A VARIETY. THEY HAVE SO MANY COOKING MEATS AND VEGETABLES FRESH AND CANNED. AND BAKERY GOODS . THEY JUST HAVE EVERYTHING!!!!! THEY ARE JUST TERRIFIC. THEY HAVE MANY GIFTS TO BUY!!!!! THEY HAVE EVERYTHING. I AM SO GLAD THEY ARE CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE. AND ARE SO FRIENDLY!!!!!

This place was amazing! We were in SLC for a large volleyball convention and many places refused to seat groups and/or would only accept take-away orders. Not only was Siegfried’s fast and friendly, it was delicious German fare. My 13 year old and I loved it. Authentic, fresh and fast. If we are ever back in SLC, this is the first restaurant/deli we are heading to!

Delicious, authentic food. Fast service.

The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. They are fried potatoes which is a side was my favorite. The Wienerschnitzel‘s was deep-fried right in front of me so it was fresh. The spicy Hungarian goulash looked amazing I’ll definitely have to give it a try. There’s a parking garage next door. Free parking on the weekends and in the evenings. Or at least it was while we were there.

This was our first time trying German food and it was great! You just walk up to the counter, order your food, and they make it right there in front of you. Super speedy. Lots of the food is already made, but it was still really good. We got the wiener schnitzel with sauerkraut and sides. You get a good amount of food for the price. I wouldn't know how authentically German it is, but it sure hit the spot. The sauerkraut was delicious - it has little pieces of sausage in it. It was really good with the schnitzel. There's also a little German shop right there in the bistro where you can buy different German snacks and foods.

LOVE this place. Pre-COVID I was going there for lunch 2-3 times a week. Super authentic and super delicious. My fave is the pork schnitzel (don't forget to squeeze a little lemon on there) and the red cabbage. You won't regret eating here!

I visited the deli today just after it opened for the day. Utah is seeing a spike in Corona infections right now; Salt Lake City has imposed a mask mandate. It's simply a matter of courtesy and respect to follow public health guidelines at this time. I was quite shocked to witness a very lackadaisical and reckless atmosphere. The owner himself had placed an ill-fitting paper mask under his nose and was serving customers; a kitchen worker didn't wear a mask at all; several customers had removed their masks as they were ordering and loudly talking to each other; tables were packed inside and no social distancing was enforced. I love the food at this place (I'm a German citizen and value the mostly authentic preparation), but I will not go back for a long while. I am very sad and frustrated.

Despite being someone of German ancestry, I never had much of an opportunity to enjoy some German dishes outside of maybe a few dishes my folks made or perhaps a place like Oberle's in Ste. Gen, MO who sell bockwurst and other German sausages. So when I moved out to the Wasatch Front, I was surprised to find a German delicatessen right in the heart of Salt Lake City that also had some good opinions from my coworkers. So, I have made my way to Siegfried's and checked out their fare. All three times I have been there, I have not been disappointed. They don't have an exhaustive menu, but what they have are some of the heavy-hitters for German fare. German sausages? Check. Weinerschnitzel? Check. Cold cuts? Definitely - also very well priced too if you can make your way here or happen to work in Downtown SLC. The first time I was there, I had the weinerschnitzel, my second time I had Bavarian Leberkaese (basically a type of meatloaf) and my most recent visit I had the sausage plate (knackwurst and weisswurst). Most of their plates have a choice of two sides; hot and cold potato salad, fried potatoes, spätzle, and sauerkraut to name a few. They also do deli sandwiches as well with a choice of the normal suspects. All three of the entrees I have were very enjoyable. All are nice and fresh when you are served from the counter, the sides are just right and the sauerkraut (which can be a very acquired taste) isn't that overpowering and has a good flavor to it. The weinerschintzel is nice and crispy and the gravy from the spätzle goes pretty good with the cutlet as well. They also have some beer available with their lunch as well as goulash and a little crossover from other areas of Central Europe as well. Definitely don't forget to order dessert as they have some really good cakes and pies and strudel. The Black Forest cake is really good; nice and moist and worth the $5 a slice. Even with that dessert, the best thing about Siegfried's is it's price. You can have an entree, sides, fountain drink and dessert right around $20 ($15 if you don't order dessert). I don't think you can beat the price for what I consider as really good food. The atmosphere is very much like a German delicatessen and during lunch, Siegfried's does see a lot of foot traffic but the wait isn't long. There's also plenty of seating as well. That isn't the entire story of Siegfried's though. They are also a German market alongside their delicatessen. They have a nice mix of specialties from Deutschland and Central Europe. Those sausages you ate? You can buy some to take home with you from the meat counter. They also have German chocolates and other sweets in their market and mixes such as currywurst and goulash and spätzle. My only nitpick though...no bockwurst. I don't expect an exhaustive list of all the goodies from overseas that you could get. When I ask, they asked if I wanted knackwurst. But that's just a nitpick rather than a hard criticism. One nice thing for a business in Downtown SLC...free parking in the garage next door to Siegfried's. This makes it a breeze to visit for lunch and a few quick grabs at their market and it's within the first hour. If you want a taste of the German delicatessen atmosphere, Siegfried's is definitely a great experience.

This place has great German food! I got the wienerschnitzel, sauerkraut, and Mezzo Mix. Sehr lecker! They have tons of other things you can buy as well. Definitely a good place to try out.

german food and the feeling at this location is excellent. this place is absolutely one of my favorites. fast, efficient, and courteous service. i can see why they have a lot of great reviews.

Siegfried's Delicatessen is a cafeteria-style German restaurant in downtown SLC. They also have imported groceries, breads, meats, and candies. The restaurant is casual but often frequented by the business crown during weekday lunches because of its location. They have indoor and outdoor seating (during the summer months). Be aware there’s more open indoor seating behind the imported food shelves in a back room. Since it’s not visible from the main dining area most people don’t know about it and you can find it empty even on a moderately busy day. Be aware the restaurant doesn’t take reservations. This venue is better suited to smaller groups. They have a number of sides for the cafeteria/deli-style meals. My favorites include rot kohl (red cabbage); sauerkraut; and fried potatoes. Siegfried's is a classic for German cuisine. My family is German and we make it a point to go each time we visit SLC. It’s casual, quick, and inexpensive. Four entrees (that came with two sides apiece) were $45 overall. Go check it out!

Only open 2 nights a week, so check. Busy place, seating is first come, but it works. friendly efficient staff. Order at back counter with a brief wait for food to be cooked. Quality and varied German beer selection. The market has great German sweets.

It was quick, reasonably priced (rather inexpensive by today's standards), and very tasty 😋 Pork schnitzel with bratwurst combo, sauerkraut and potatoes on a side. We got good coffee too. Would definitely come again once in the area.

Great deli quality German Food. Prices were very reasonable and food is served fast in a cafeteria style.

Excellent service and selection of hard to find German delicacies. The hand made sausages are delicious..

Lovely folks. Counter serve German food with lots of meats, drinks, chocolates, German food stuffs. Beer too. Goulash and spaetzle at first were a little cold for my taste, but then I just couldn't stop eating it. Really delicious. My buddy got a ham and cheese sandwich and said the mustard was excellent. Can't wait to come back.

This place is equal part unique, scrumptious and well valued. Sure this is standard on every pedestrian German, but so happy to have one of them here. Only issue is that everyone else wants to eat here too, so lines all day long. Even though it is cafeteria style restaurant, so much business goes through that everything is fresh and efficient. Even houses an indigenous store and deli. Cool German beers also. This will be my first stop next time in SLC. I wish there was a similar place like this at home in Vegas. Good job!!!

I had to walk 30 minutes to get there, and there were 50 people in line to order. But, it was totally worth it. I ordered weinersnizel, with a side of Coleslaw. I ordered a Reuben for my wife to go. I have never had better Coleslaw. The food was great. The prices are even better. I hadn't been there since the 80's, but dang, it's great food.

I have lived in SLC for all my life and knew of the shop but have never been here. WHAT IN THE WORKD WAS I THINKING. It is small and charming and very crowded on this Christmas Eve but is is worth the wait. Take your time and enjoy the stay. Another thing is that the store needs to be larger but I think it would totally wreck the charm. Please don’t change anything. Another thing is that the patrons were casual and unhurried despite the crowded nature. It was the lunch service. We had sandwiches, Spetzler, red, cabbage, sausages, and an incredibly delicious marzipan cake. The only downsides were that by sausage was overcooked and dry, and red cabbage was a bit on the cold side. Keep up the good work and come visit a SLC landmark

Good German supermarket, lots of imported options. Food bar is good for fried food lovers.

This place is fantastic. German food at reasonable prices in the heart of downtown SLC.

Such a unique place in Salt Lake City. It’s just like a place you’d find in Germany. The food is just like the food I’ve had in Germany. Very fun place to check out.

What a great spot this is! I felt like I walked off a street in Salt Lake & into a restaurant in Berlin. It could Alternately have been NYC but either way, it was just fantastic. The food was all top notch and the prices were reasonable. the help was great and when I asked them for some extra gravy to go on my spaetzle, they gave ma an entire bowl of it. I love that kind of service. The schnitzel and sausage were all perfect and I can't wait to go back for another visit. Total win, all the way around!

Went for lunch. Had schnitzel, spaetzle, red cabbage, and a berry tart. Every item was delicious, even the side mustard. The nice woman at the counter even brought me another schnitzel because the one I got didn't look up to her standards. So good ! 6 ⭐'s

The place is small n cozy but clean. Sidewalk seating is available as well. The food at this German Deli is tasty and wonderful. My favorite is the schnitzel n red cabbage. Cooked to perfection. The line to order moves very quickly and the staff is fast and friendly. Can hardly wait to return n try something else from the menu. Whenever I visit Salt Lake for convention I must have at least one lunch here. Yum!

Went here for lunch. It was crowded, but the food was good and the value was great. The desserts were very yummy - don't forget to order one. Really liked looking over the other products they provide. Look forward to coming back to try they bratwurst and sauerkraut!

Wife describes a a head nod. Choices in the pics are schnitzel and Mac salad plus fried potatoes and warm potato salad. Also added the gravy. Steady flow of folks. Right after we ordered the line went out the door

I absolutely enjoyed every single dish that I tried at Siegfried's. Meats were cooked to perfection and very tasty without any weird factory aftertaste. In fact, it tasted just like home-made food. I loved it. And service was very fast. It is not really a restaurant (or it does not feel like one in a traditional sense) but rather a deli but I don't care. Best food I ate out in a long time.

german food and the scene here is very good. Visited Sat afternoon. The staff was very helpful and observant. Feels similar to a restaurant in New York I loved.

Always a great meal. Pretty close to the real deal.

You get plenty of good food for the price. You line up at a counter and get served a plate. After you pay there are tables and a counter to seat. Located downtown , The food is excellent. Wiener schnitzel, sauerkraut, warm potato salad, macaroni salad . Dessert. All good.

Love this place for lunch!

Ok location for tasty german food. i love it here. the staff was very sociable and kind. the place has a great feel to it. feels similar to a cafe in chicago i loved.

Great german foods. We love the Christmas chocolate Calendars.

They let me use a fork with my food and it worked well.

A preferred site for German food. Food with real quality ingredients. The service here is better than most. Bring your appetite because portions are generous.

German food at this location - yummy. very delicious. service is consistently great. ambience is similar to fresno's scene.

Everyone's welcome. You don't need to travel all the way to Europe to experience great German & Eastern European food. Siegfried's Delicatessen is the ultimate staycation destination. If you're in the region, let your taste experience Europe when you visit Siegfried's Delicatessen in Salt Lake City. Despite being one of only a few German - Eastern European Delicatessen in the northeast Nevada - southeast Idaho - southwest Wyoming - & the northern Utah region, Siegfried's Delicatessen is able to meet the demand for deliciously excellent Imports, flavorful smoked meats & mouthwatering fresh homemade specialties. The staff has a friendly New York style of efficiency. With expert maestros from Europe, and native Utah specialists, Siegfrieds brings old-world charm with high caliber service and taste of tradition. If you don't see a German dish you are looking for in the store, chances are good that they can make it for you. Just call ahead and inquire. I highly recommend that you bring your love of food & curiosity with you, and make Siegfried's Delicatessen your European destination.

Best German food in town other than your German grandma! Love their dumplings, schnitzel, and bratwurst! Excellent taste and reasonable price.

This is incredible. Been too long since I've been there but the food is still fantastic!

Best german food around! Stop in here for a meal every time we are in salt lake. Pick up bavarian mustards and asbach chocolates😁

Great place! The sauerkraut and speaetzle is incredible. Their sausage was also very goodl. They have a good selection of german food and grocery items as well. Will not disappoint. One of my favorite places I have ever been to downtown SLC.

A fantastic meal for a great prices! Just be prepared as it is a deli and you should know what you want right when you get to the counter. Highly suggest the sausages and schnitzel.

A top place for quality german food. Came here on a Friday I think. Looking forward to returning with my relatives. It has a great atmosphere. Ambience reminds me of Colorado Springs area.

Very authentic German food. Got their bratwurst special and a custard cake. So delicious. Wish we took pictures but the food was too good to stop. Staff was very friendly and if we had a cooler with us we would have bought some bratwurst to take back to Vegas.

german food and service here is quality. Don't fret if it's busy, it is worth the wait. Looking forward to returning with my coworkers.

My mom loves all things Germany so I had to try this out. My husband and I loved it! The meat was sooo good and the noodles and gravy were interesting but super good. Plus they have all the German chocolate you need!

Front desk guy was actively not very friendly. Maybe having a bad day, I don't know. The food makes up for it. Amazing food for a great price. We will be coming back.

Delicious German food

Love a good German deli and Siegfried's fits the bill and then some. My husband had the lunch special of 2 brats, spatzel, brown bravy and a side of red cabbage. I had the wienerschnitzel with warm potato salad and red cabbage from heaven. Delicious.

Yummy food and a great selection of European products. They even have Hungarian téli salami!

This place is excellent! Food, service, products, atmosphere is all the best. I go here nearly every time I go to Salt Lake City.

The staff, the food are both 5 star. The sushi is tops. Thanks to them for helping us smile this year with great food!!!

So incredibly delicious, am always craving it.

Get the schnitzel

brings back wonderful childhood memories! great place, loads of options!

Always have great German products.

I absolutely love this place! Super good, authentic German food! I always have to pick up some of the imported mustard when I'm there!

This place is an extremely important Restaurant to me. Only once did my Grandfather ask me to pick up a dish for him before his passing. Who knew Potato salad could gift me with such a sweet memory.

german food, so fresh. One of the best spots in the area. Service treated us so nice. The bill was fair. They have so many reviews for a reason.

It was ok. The food wasn't 100% but it was inexpensive so I'm not too upset. Lots of candy and chocolate and stuff. Definitely worth a visit

(Translated by Google) Allot to choose from breads, sausages, cheese. Great food. You will enjoy the food. (Original) Allot to choose from breads, sausages, cheese. Great food. Sie werden das Essen genießen.

Great service. Food is AMAZING.

Cool place with all sorts of foreign fare. And delicious fresh cooked food.

Best German food, but i cook better.😀

Excellent food. This was my first visit while in Salt Lake City.

Best sandwiches I’ve ever had. Miles ahead of anywhere else in SLC
