For 16 years, Günther and Irene Krause owned and operated the original “Zur Kate” in Hamburg Germany. Günther was a “Metzgermeister” (Master Butcher) and Irene was tutored by the famous Herr Keimer to develop her culinary skills. In the fall of 1983, the Krauses re-located to Mesa (for it’s “wunderbar” weather) and opened “Zur Kate German Restaurant”.
Horst Schlembach was born in Großwenkheim (close to Bad Kissingen) in the Bavaria District of Germany. When he was 23, he used his last few “D-marks” (Deutsche marks) to relocate to Arizona (he wanted to be a cowboy). He joined the Krause’s at “Zur Kate” shortly after they opened. After 23 years of working with Günther & Irene, Horst with his wife Elena and son Horst Jr. became the new owners of “Zur Kate” (still in the same location).
Zur Kate translated means “to the old smokehouse” and to this day Zur Kate still attempts to recreate the “Gästehaus” atmosphere of “gemutlichkeit” (cordiality & friendliness). Here we treat everyone as a friend when they come through the door.
We truly hope you will sit back, enjoy your dining experience and visit with your neighbors!

I love their Rham Schnitzel and I always order extra red cabbage! Along with the beer , everything makes for a flavorful combination. Whenever I'm in town I never miss a chance.
Suzanne G., Phoenix, AZ
This is a very cute restaurant, and has very authentic decor and food. The service is very friendly, and the portions are huge. It's small, yet very lively. Often times they have an accordion player come in. One of my favorite dishes to buy here is the weißewurst.
D. Marie S., Mesa, AZ
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was awesome! Definetely have the apple strudel with vanilla sauce, but be careful you might end up licking the plate!

You ever just want to go into a German restaurant and feel like you walked into someone's family party? That's the feeling you will get when you visit Zur Kate.
The pork was melt-in-your mouth magic and every bite was a little bit of heaven. You can't have a party without music. The live accordion music was the perfect addition to the ambiance. It was impossible not to dance in your seat.
This is a definite must-return on my list.
Lisa J., Mesa, AZ
Lived in Germany for 16 years total. It's really hard to find "authentic" German food in the states. This comes pretty darn close!!!
I love the owners, the servers, the oompapa band. Who knew Mesa had this in their midst?!? We go here every couple months and it's NEVER disappointing.
Always crowded for sure and it's a wee little restaurant. So definitely expect a wait. But well worth it!
Teri B., Las Vegas, NV
This is the second time we've come here & each time has been phenominal! Friendly service, amazing food & both times we had live acordian music! So authentic & delicious. The staff couldn't be nicer. The only thing I wish I could change (besides the distance from my house!) is the size of the restaurant. I found out tonight, they make their own mustard... I am loyal to Guldens brown mustard and I described it as "a bit better than Guldens" if that gives you an idea ;) I just love the atmosphere, long tables, music & food! Please please please!!! If you ever have the chance, go HERE. Pretty easy to find, pleanty of parking & a great deal (prices are great too!)
