Manor Oktoberfest

Nestled in the heart of Forest Hills, Manor Oktoberfest is a celebration of authentic German cuisine and culture, offering a vibrant escape for anyone craving traditional flavors with a touch of local warmth. This German restaurant at 73-11 Yellowstone Blvd stands out not only for its hearty, satisfying dishes but also for the genuine, welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit feel like a festive family gathering.

Manor Oktoberfest’s menu is a treasure trove for lovers of German fare. The Jägerschnitzel, a tender breaded pork cutlet bathed in a rich mushroom hunter sauce, arrives piping hot paired with crispy home-fried potatoes and tangy red cabbage—each bite a perfect harmony of savory and subtle earthiness. Meanwhile, the Hungarian Schnitzel offers a bold twist, smothered in a smoky paprika sauce and served alongside traditional spaetzle and refreshing cucumber salad, inviting diners to explore nuanced flavors beyond classic German fare.

The culinary adventure continues with an array of sausages like the Knockwurst, made from all-beef, the mildly spicy Krainer Wurst with melted cheddar, or the succulent Bratwurst combining pork and veal — each sausage cooked to juicy perfection. Pair any of these with sides like German potato salad, creamed spinach, or crispy beer-battered onion rings for a truly comforting experience. Don’t miss the Oktoberfest Pretzel, a warm, fluffy delight best dipped in the creamy, robust beer cheese fondue that perfectly complements its savory saltiness.

The menu’s offerings also include unique items such as Sauerbraten Eggrolls, Crab Cakes, and a variety of sandwiches including a Hot Pastrami Sandwich and a crave-worthy Chicken Sandwich, showcasing the kitchen’s creative breadth. Sweet endings come in the form of traditional Apple Strudel topped with velvety ice cream — a classic European treat that melts in your mouth, leaving a lingering warmth perfect for rounding out the meal.

Beyond the food, Manor Oktoberfest brings an inviting, unpretentious vibe that Peter Martelli praises for striking the perfect balance between comfort and attention to detail. From lively weekends filled with German tunes to the friendly, attentive staff who know how to make you feel at home, the ambiance complements the menu beautifully. Angelo Masucci’s experience highlights not only the accommodating service but also the bustling bar area with a wide selection of German beers and energetic bartenders, making Manor Oktoberfest a great spot for both casual dinners and spirited gatherings.

Steve Kliche’s admiration for the “Manor Burger and Pretzel” alongside the outstanding beer selection captures the essence of this neighborhood gem, where you can savor expertly crafted dishes amidst an atmosphere that feels genuine and familial. Even specialty dishes like the Flat Iron Steak and the weekly seafood specials have garnered enthusiastic praise, as noted by Robert Schnell, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to variety and top-notch quality.

Whether you’re settling in for a comforting meal of Jägerschnitzel and dark German beer, sharing an Oktoberfest Pretzel with friends, or diving into their off-menu specials, Manor Oktoberfest promises a rich, authentic culinary experience. It’s a place where flavors tell stories, service feels personal, and every visit leaves you with the warmth and satisfaction of a true German celebration in the heart of Queens.
