Four of us visited here August 8, 2019. We were staying nearby at another German-themed resort and were exploring another option for dinner after a day of hiking & exploring in the Catskill Mountains. Maassman's Restaurant is located at their Blackhead Mountain Lodge & Country...Club. This is a family owned business since 1967. Sons, Ed & Peter run the 18 hole golf course. There are also 22 rooms at the lodge.
On to the delicious part of our first visit. We decided to try here because they had Jaegerschnitzel on the menu. Our waitress was Monika. We started w/ a round of drinks and then ordered our meals. The ladies ordered their favorite Rouladen ($22) served w/ spaetzle & red cabbage. The guys ordered the Jaegerschnitzel ($21) also w/ spaetzle & red cabbage. My brother-n-law, the big man, also ordered onion soup au gratin ($5) and a side of potato pancakes ($6). Everything was authentic per my sister-n-law (2nd generation American of German parents). We were in no hurry and the bar & dining room were only partially full. Food came to the table in an appropriate time for the excellent preparation and presentation, also hot and correct. Everyone said their meals were "Wunderbar" and the ladies took home half their entrees, not the case for the guys. Two ordered dessert, one apple strudel a la mode, to our surprise strudel served cold, and Bienenstik - a honey cake. The name literally means bee sting. Again everything is authentic, excellently prepared, and kostlich (delicious). The chef, Evald, also came out and checked on our experience and thanked us for visiting.
Dinner for four, four glasses of wine, a martini, two well drinks, and a weiss bier came to $230. w/ tax & tip. On the upper end of our budget but well worth the experience.
Open April through October Thursday-Sunday 5-8:30pm. p.s. the golf clubhouse bar is open for lunch 11:00am-3:pm, clubhouse bar 5-8:30pm.
We highly recommend Maassmann's if you're the northern Catskill Mountains, affectionately nicknamed the German Alps.
Maassmann's is a must-try recommendation from us. Danke to Mr & Mrs M and your staff.More
