Rudi's offers an amazing assortment of authenic german/austrian food. However the service isn't all that great. It seems swarmy which cheapens the experience. Coming back on different occasions within a couple months and being in the service industry, it seems the management has a problem with keeping a full staff.
We live in Humble and travel all the way across Houston to eat at the only authentic Austrian restaurant we know of anywhere near here. My wife's mother grew up in Salzberg and she loved this place. The atmosphere matches the food. This really is a dining experience. If you like German cuisine, or if you want to try the real thing... Go!
This restaurant is dingy in an old Bavarian village way which I find appealing. The place has been around forever and little has changed, especially as far as the decor is concerned. I like the atmosphere - reminds me of my visits to Germany, especially the bavarian village eateries I visited.
The food is excellent for the most part, especially the famous wine soup is worth trying at least once ...
I have been eating at Rudi's for many, many years. Rudi is personally on site and pays attention to his menu, kitchen, and his staff. The German dishes are always excellent and the other choices like trout and lighter entrees are always excellent too. The place is always packed, yet the service is always efficient and friendly. I keep saying 'always' because I've yet to have a bad or even le...
My family is German, and I have many fond memories of my grandmother cooking authentic German meals for us when she visited. When I moved to Houston, my husband and I tried Rudi Lechner's. So many of the items on the menu looked familiar! The Hungarian Goulash is exactly like my grandmothers - and the very best I have had at any restaurant. My husband has ordered various schnitzel's and sausages,...

I took my boyfriend (he is Czech) here last night after seeing such good reviews. And it did not disappoint!! The food was great, the service was excellent, and everyone was so nice and pleasant. I'm not an expert on german food, but my boyfriend said it was very tasty. I had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious as well. They have Oktoberfest every Wednesday night with entertainment,...
Last week I had the pleasure of revisiting Rudi Lechner's restaurant on Gessner near Westheimer. It has been 15 years since I had been there because of a move. Rudi was
there to make sure the food was up to standard. Just a great place to take your clients or family for a quite lunch. The price charged reflects superior value for the quality and
quanty of food. I raise my glass to Rudi for ...
Ihave been going there for well over 15 years and never once had a bad visit. The atmosphere is delightful and the servcise is the best. Rudi always checks on customers and remembers names and faces. What can I say about the food...there is just no place like it in Houston! I have tried everything on the menu and have the hardest time deciding what eat because it all so freaking good. the weekend...
I was so impressed by this place! The service was just impeccable -- the servers were conscientious, and very nice! The food was sooo good. My boyfriend and his friend got the traditional German platter and my friend and I split the ooooooo soooo good chicken fried steak stuffed with swiss cheese and jalapenos....it was divine!!! The food was incredibly authentic (as I had just been to German...
Having lived in Germany and stemming from a German family I can testify that this is a nice taste of home. The food is good, the decor is very reminicent of a Gasthaus and the servers are wonderful! I have never had a bad experience at Rudi's. The last time I ate there, Herr Lechner came to the table and asked us how things were. I responded in German and was promptly given a complimenary Apfel s...
wonderfully delightful!I love it especially when there is entertainment.My husband and I go when we have time away from the kids.
