Hands down my favourite restaurant in Kingston! So great to see a German restaurant who does proper authentic food! Been coming here for years and had many many lovely meals out here… The restaurant itself is located by the river a little south of the main part of Kingston. The restaurant is also located right by the Rose Car Park so it’s easy to park close to the restaurant. The design of the restaurant is really homely and cozy, wooden panels and classic images from Germany, Austria and even Switzerland. Staff is very friendly and most even speak German, service is usually very good, though it can take longer when very busy, but this is understandable. The prices are fair as the portions are massive and German food anyway is filling, so you will leave the restaurant stuffed :) The food itself is truly delicious, authentic and a true taste of home. Nice big portions and quality ingredients. Proper German sausages and amazing beer, as to be expected. The desserts are also out of this world! Most people will go for a strudel but I would absolutely suggest the Kaiserschmarren… truly heaven on a plate, and once you try it you’ll want it again and again! All in all I will keep coming back here as much as I can, hands down one of my favourite restaurants!

Staff are super friendly. We booked ahead for my birthday and were seated at our requested area out back so we could enjoy the sunlight and view of the Thames. The restaurant even decorated our tables with birthday bunting, which was a very nice touch. The German beers were amazing, and even more so served in their signature boots. Food was great too, well cooked and great portions, of typical Bavarian style.

I've really started to warm up to the idea of drinking here more regularly - been to the Richmond one a few times but it's taken 6 years to try this one. I'm tired of a lot of the pubs in the area, while I've often rated them highly, the beer has become universally astronomical in price, that you may as well take the punt and spend £7 on a German number in proper glassware that's clean and served how it should be. Wash down that pretzel or giant pork Knuckle with a pint or stein of delicious cold frosty lager, table service by friendly staff, with a secluded river view raised away from the passers by. Dog friendly throughout, treats and water brought to our little one.

If you have never been to Germany, then this is great. If you have been to Germany, particularly Bayern and managed to try the amazing fat food, then this is not that good. It has good beers. Probably the best bet is to go to sausages. I found the schnitzels a bit dry and soulless. The käsespätzle was a bit of a disappointment. Expensive for the quality. Good location with views over the Thames.

Fantastic food, as usual, lovely service and good beer. But nearly £90 for a 2 mains “Pork shoulder and Munich sausages “+ 3beers and 2 glasses of wine We understand rates of inflation are a bit high but we used to pay a lot less for what we had 🤷‍♂️ It's one of my favourite spots in Kingston 🙏

I went to Stein's yesterday with my parents for Father's Day and we had an amazing meal! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Giving a 5 star review as our server was so lovely - she was super attentive and made a great meal into a wonderful all round experience. I believe her name was Delani! We'll definitely be coming back to try some of the veggie options

Great to see this authentic German restaurant surviving through pandemic. Food was great, service a bit slow but understandable with challenges facing hospitality business. Very friendly staff and as expected great choice of German beers. There is a room upstairs with balcony Available for private parties. Needs to be booked in advance.

Authentic German dishes cooked with meats sourced from Germany . All cooked to perfection and served with good hearty German beers . Lovely and friendly staff . Can be a little expensive if you have all three courses ( if you have room hehe) as a mid week treat . but generous portions .

Fantastic food and amazing staff. This was our first visit to this restaurant but most definitely wont be our last. Next time we plan to go when the weather is better so we can take advantage of the veranda and views over the Thames.

I’ve eaten here over 10 times and it has been consistently fantastic. Staff are lovely, atmosphere is warm and welcoming, beer is great, food is completely delicious. Easily one of my favourite restaurants in London. A real gem.

Super easy to get a walk in table. The service was attentive and fast. I wish you could mix and match some bits from the menu but the choice is great. We went for a platter for 2. We came out full. Totally worth it. The beers were also on point. Can't recommend enough

This place was great! Authentic German restaurant with nice outlook over the river. Wait staff dressed accordingly and everyone was very welcoming. It’s very meat based (as would be expected) but they have some veggie/vegan options which my friends enjoyed. I had sausages, mash and sauerkraut which was yum! And of course all the beer and wine is German too. Recommend booking ahead as it gets busy - but we were luckily able to get a walk-in on a Saturday night. We were in the smoking area outside but no one was actually smoking. Tables are big and good for groups. Will be back!

Was für eine fantastische Einrichtung! So refreshing to see a German restaurant, serving the most authentic food. The Currywurst was incredible, the Veal Schnitzel was lovely a crispy, the potato salad was unique but gorgeous (especially on a warm day). The mash and Sauerkraut were bloody delicious. To top this all off the service was incredible, even on a really busy summer day. Well impressed! 🫡🫡

Delicious food washed down with a very nice beer. Staff polite, friendly and attentive.

We love Steins! The food, atmosphere and staff are spot on. Have been to Richmond and Kingston - will need to pay a visit to the London location soon. The mash is so creamy! The sausage cooked to perfection and the beer plentiful.

Stein's in Kingston is a definite favourite for me. I always leave with a smile and, honestly, a bit of a belly ache (always totally my fault). You know that feeling you get when you are full to the brim but still want one more bite... this is where that feeling comes to die as you discover your second stomach and laugh in the face of recommended daily allowances. With beautiful scenic views overlooking the river, all the sausages you can eat and a litre of genuine bravarian wheat beer to wash it down (served in a boot if you like that kind of thing), why would you go anywhere else? Don't be a sausage. Come and try this absolute gem!

My second time here, food is traditional Bavarian food at a great level, we had a Goulash soup watch which was great, and some sausages which were really good!

Excellent location adjacent to the river, helpful and friendly staff, authentic Bavarian/Austrian cuisine, I and my mother had the Wiener Schnitzel which was heavenly, wonderful German bier and a Black Forest Gateaux to die for, in the words of Graz's most famous son...'I'll be back'.

Always great lunch or evening out at Stein's. Really authentic German experience from the beers and food to the atmosphere. Two of my favourite dishes below: Pork knuckle is one of the best I have ever had. Veal schnitzel is delicious, always ask the the cranberry sauce. Unfortunately only have a picture of a beer.

Excellent hosting and food is outstanding. The closest you can get to classic German food without booking a flight. Ordered the currywurst, farmers feast, a pint and a stein.

Visited here a few times now. Great for lunch overlooking the river and also went for evening meal with friends. Friendly staff and restaurant felt cozy and relaxed. Heaters outside above tables for those colder evenings.

Enjoyed German Biers 🍺 with relaxed atmosphere next to thameslink river, wish food/drinks prices weren't so high, otherwise I'd give 5 stars.
