    OMG! I'd researched on YELP for the BEST Steakhouse nearest me & Chacarero Steakhouse came up as #1. After reading the first reviews by Americans that were ALL positive, I'd NEEDED to check this place out for myself! & I'm SO GLAD that I did! This was for an early celebration of the American's Mother's Day, a day before, along with the combined European Father's & Christian Ascension Day, next Sunday & I can't tell yall that even though the meal for my husband & myself was a little on the pricey side, it was well worth every euro. We'd placed our phone order yesterday for Saturday ONLY take away orders because of the COVID lockdown restrictions. The owner is AMAZING & is very passionate about his restaurant. Strongly emphasized to my husband & myself that his Chilean wife, himself & their staff cook with heart. For me, a Hawaiian Islander to hear that someone cooks with "ALOHA" was a HUGE marquee with bright lights screaming for me to go here. My husband & myself had arrived a little early to the restaurant before they'd opened. So, we'd parked in the parking lot, when we'd received a long distance call from our daughter & grandchildren. While we were on the phone the owner - to which I'd forgotten to get his name - walked out to politely let us know that our order was ready for us to pick up. When we'd walked in to the restaurant, the owner greeted us &, actually, took us on a short little tour of his restaurant, he'd shared that he'd spent the last 5 months renovating his restaurant. It was very inviting & I love the addition of the electric fireplaces for a cozier effect. He'd even shared with us that they'll have live music on Fridays & Saturdays when the restrictions are lifted. I can't wait! He'd shared stories of the Chilean Red Wines that they'd served. We'd bought 2: Cabernet Sauvignon & a Carmenere. He'd shared with us that the second wine is highly sought after by the French because of the specific grapes that's used to make it had originated in France but it'd died out because of some type of disease in the vines in the 1980's. It was later discovered by wine enthusiasts to be thriving in vineyards in Chile in the 1990's. He has many others to choose from: Whites, Rose & Blended - all from Chile. But, he'd shared that the 2 that we'd bought were his favorite. Even shared to blend the 2 for more flavor. I love learning new things. Since, we were celebrating American Mother's Day for myself & German Father's/Christian Ascension Day (which is next Sunday) for my husband, I'd decided to go all out for our dinners. We'd ordered their largest 500 grams Ribeye Steak with sauteed Potatoes. The owner & his wife had blessed us with fresh baked Pan de Casa (a WHOLE Loaf of Bread) & extra servings of their fresh homemade San Andreas Salsa. The bread was so soft & the crust was crispy like a French Baguette. When we'd dipped our pieces of bread into the San Andreas Salsa, OMG! IT was SO DELICIOUS! The Salsa had a little kick to it, but just enough to savor all the flavors of the herbs & spices in it. Not overwhelming at all. Then, OMG! The steak was SO TENDER! It, literally, MELTED in my mouth like butter! The owner was SO PASSIONATE when he'd shared that our steak had been slow cooking since noon! Our pick up time was for 5pm. Because they'd wrapped our steak in foil, it was still warm when we'd gotten home 25 minutes away from the restaurant! With SO MUCH juices, too! We didn't even have to warm it up again. Just plated it all & we ate our dinner in COMPLETE BLISS! The only sad thing is because of the restrictions, a lot of their side items on their menu weren't available. Like their Seasonal Salads & Corn Casseroles. But, that just means more reason for us to go back to visit them again. If you enjoy good food & appreciate Passionate Chefs that cook from their heart - with ALOHA - then this is a place that you won't want to miss! Check their website for updates, too.

    OMG!!!! Call ahead to select your steak so they prepare it to perfection. This was the best one I’ve ever had outside of the ones we make at home.

    Not all its hyped up to be. Went for my birthday last weekend and was rather disappointed, especially for the extremely high price. First they sat us at one table then made us move tables a few minutes later because “the boss’ daughter was coming” (she never came while we were there). We were told to move our car when we parked in the back although there were no signs stating we couldn’t park there. Then the waiter dissed on the menu appetizers as “not worth his paycheck” when we asked his preference. The steaks were wonderfully tender but lacked any seasoning. Finally, on the way out our waiter told us we could literally just walk out because the cook (who i assume was the owner) was “too old to chase” us. Its like the waiter just put in his two week notice and didn’t care. They did have someone playing live music and that was nice. Overall, i doubt we will go back.

    Wonderful service & delicious steak! Call ahead to make a reservation & pre-order your steak. Everything we had was fantastic. Service was great too. They’re very kind. The Chilean grand reserve cab was 🤯. The only downfall is even tho we ordered our steak ahead of time we had to wait over an hour to get our food. We shall be back to try the ribeye special.

    Best steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. Outstanding service and food. Owners have a passion for food and people. Make sure to call in your party reservation day before with type of steak and how you want it cooked. I Followed up with email since I had so many people and confirmed with owner over phone he was good with order.

    Of all the gin joints in all the world... Who knew that you'd find amazing steak in a small town in south Germany? Australian beef in a Chilean steakhouse, no less. Pre-ordering and making our reservation was easy. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Great service. The pisco sour was on point - made correctly with egg whites! Our steaks, one new york strip and one ribeye were great. I really liked the salt cellar on the plate, was nice to have finishing salt readily available. The sauce drizzle on the steak board was fantastic - I suspect an aged balsamic or a reduction but I did not ask. I would absolutely go back again!

    I took my wife for our 20th wedding anniversary and it was fantastic. The food was phenomenal and the ambience was perfect for the occassion. It wasn’t a cheap dinner, but the quality was worth the cost.

    You've got to do this prepared. We placed orders for 7 people the day before. When we arrived, they matched who we were with the steaks we ordered, and we ordered appetizers and drinks. The owner came out and greeted us and talked a bit, then the feast came. I ordered the special. This steak cut like melted butter. It was tender and juicy. We will be going again. Hopefully to convince him to open up in our hometown

    Always a great place to get a steak in Kaiserslautern! Make reservations, as you'll need to pre-order the high-end steaks. The wagyu sirloin is a great choice. I usually order the 17.6 oz Australian Wagyu Ribeye and it's always perfect!👌🏼 Enjoy with a bottle of Tarapacá Gran Riserva and your favorite sides.

    Wonderful experience! The food is amazing! We had the empanada to start, they had run out of the meat one so we had the cheese. It was wonderful! The steaks were perfect and the chef checked in that we were ready before he started them. Make sure you are ready for a long meal, ours was about 2 hours. 100% will be recommending this restaurant to others.

    Very good. Enjoyed side salads, empanadas, 500g ribeye (for two), churros & cappuccino. *Accepts Euro and card. *Call ahead to pre-order/slow cook your steak and to reserve a table. **Recommend.

    Dinner was so wonderful for not only the quality of the food but how amazing the staff and owners are. We loved everything we ordered. The steaks had so much flavor and were cooked perfectly. All the staff was so personable and friendly. It made our experience and dinner that much better. We’ll definitely be back!!

    We absolutely love this place. The owner is so nice and always does his very best to accommodate us. He even stops by the tables to make sure you are happy. Some nights they have a singer/musician. It's pricey but so worth it, quality meat and ingredients are worth it.

    Final meal with friends as we head back to the USA. Went on a Saturday evening for the live music - awesome guitar/piano cover artist. Pre-ordered large cuts of NY Strip and Special for the party and it did not disappoint! The medium-cooked/temp steaks cut like smooth butter and the taste was superb! Harry, the owner, and wait-staff were friendly and accommodating and their authentic care and attention was welcoming and not overbearing. Would recommend and go again! Sad we are leaving.

    We had two different steaks. Rare and medium rare. Both were perfectly prepared and were melting in our mouth! The owner and the staff are very pleasant. Also their homemade salsa is to die for!

  • 5/5 Autumn S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love love love this restaurant! Absolutely my favorite restaurant we've been to since arriving in Germany and hands down the best steak ive had in Europe! It's owned by a husband and wife and the owner is so friendly and personable! He talked to us about our steak and how it's cooked/prepared and where they source them from. you can seriously feel the passion they have for their business and we recommend them to anyone! Edit: we returned for valentine's day and had another amazing and personalized experience. Harry and his wife are just beautiful people and always make us feel like family! If you haven't eaten here yet you're missing out!

  • 5/5 Tara O. 2 years ago on Google
    The steak was delicious and the service was amazing! If you like cheese definitely get the Gouda empanada, it's fabulous 😁I really enjoyed talking to the owner and the live music on a Friday night was awesome. My hubby and I even had a nice slow dance beside our table. Thank you for the wonderful date night out, we will be back for sure!
