After 6 months begin away from Germany this really made me home sick :-)
Delicious brunch with all the heart warming delicatessen you need! -

Went for brunch one weekend. Fantastic smoked salmon and bratwurst! I'll need to go for lunch or dinner one day.
We didn't know they did brunch, so we were a bit disappointed there weren't more sausage selections on the brunch menu, but we were both very pleased with what we got.
It's a pretty small room on a street a couple blocks away from the main drag. Sort of an unassuming place on a street where you might not expect a good restaurant to be. Service was a bit on the casual side, but I wasn't in a big hurry. -
Review from Brian R.
Simplicity and truth of cuisine were the keys here, and appropriate to celebrate for Sunday Brunch on Easter Sunday which celebrates the life and times of a simple man whose words have been revered, reverberated, and reinvented over the millenia.
It's a wonderful, very humble eatery that is homesteading in a nicely recovering neighborhood. The food is real German, not some embellished overly-hip brew-pub's tweak. The kind of place you might dine in a small German village and speak of the amazing meal that you had in that little town in seemingly nowhere.
I had the traditional holiday roast lamb with the potato balls and root vegetables and it was heaven. We also tried the waffles with the fresh plum compote and the raisin-potato french toast, both of which, off of the very short, simple menu, stood out.
For dessert we tried the carrot cake and the nutella cake, both of which were excellent, and made use of traditional frosting methods using marzipan to help stiffen the icing and preserve it while giving it wonderful balance against the soft baked goods inside.
Service was equally good, and the surroundings a bit plain but spotless and perfect. Five stars go to those who do exceedingly well setting out what they hope to achieve in a culinary experience, and Schulte and Herr does this with admirable ease, style, and, most rare in the dining game, grace. -

Ich can say "vunderbar"!!! I have been a few times and absolutely love this place. I grew up on German food, and sorry Ma- this is just as good. (or better) Man, I hope my mother never gets on Yelp. Highly recommend the potato pancakes with salmon! And there's always a great dessert option.

I came up to Portland for the day with a friend and we were craving an old-fashioned hardy breakfast. Being from PA Dutch Country, I have a warm spot for anything with meat and potatoes. Schulte and Herr certainly did not disappoint. This little hole in the wall had amazing food. My omelet was cooked to perfection, probably some of the best eggs I have ever eaten. My friend loved the potato pancakes with applesauce and sausage. Everything on the table was very fresh and made with care. The service was very hospitable and warm. The lunch and dinner menus looked really fantastic as well. I look forward to returning the next time in Portland.

This place is so new that I had to "add a business" in order to write a review, but I'm really glad my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this newcomer on Cumberland Ave.
Firstly, the space itself is quite charming: it's cozy, with around 10 tables, nice light, cute ceramic sugar holders, and what I can only assume is cheerful German music playing. The service is friendly and attentive.
I'd never had German food before, and I was expecting... I don't know. Something heavy and fried? But the food at Schulte & Herr managed to satiate me without making me feel like I needed a nap immediately after eating. I had the potato pancakes, which I highly recommend, although they were a bit underseasoned for my taste. They came with super fresh lox, capers, pickles, crisp radishes, and some sort of tasty sauce. The result was a nice mix of flavors and textures. My mouth is watering just thinking of it now.
My companion had the waffles, which came with blackberries. I'm not the biggest fan of sweet breakfast food, but I still really enjoyed the bite I stole from him. We both had coffee, and the total came to a reasonably-priced $20.
I would happily return to Schulte & Herr for it's unpretentious food done right. The only downside (which may be an upside, depending on how much pleasure you derive from people-watching) is that the location is a bit chaotic. -

After reading rave reviews from
Local food bloggers, I took the family here for Sunday brunch and was blown away! Amazing food, great service and fantastic atmosphere. Good luck trying to get into this small, yet stellar restaurant one word really gets out -

My boyfriend and I dropped in for brunch this morning and it was absolutely wonderful. I had the potato pancakes plate which came with lox (ohmygod.. SO fresh and yummy), capers/pickles/radishes, and a horseradish sauce which I am still dreaming about. My boyfriend had the Belgian waffles w/plums and syrup which he also thoroughly enjoyed. We shared a side of sausages which were also delicious and perfectly seasoned. The waitstaff is very friendly and the atmosphere is quiet and home-y. I think we'll be coming back reeeeal soon (lucky for us, we live right down the road). Don't hesitate to go here, you will not be disappointed.

Ate here today for lunch an it was lovely. The food was excellent and the atmosphere quaint. They have the most delicious homemade rye bread that they serve with a delicious spread. We had the spaetzle, latkes and dill cucumber salad. Everything was excellent and I will go back often!

Perfect! Great food, cozy, amazingly nice staff. Will go back again, and again. My advice is to make reservations, even for brunch, since there are less than 10 tables that fill up quick.

Awesome addition to Portland lunch options. Home-made everything, great bread, just enough weird German accents to make it exotic. Danke shen!
