I have a long layover in Munich this Saturday. ~10 hours. Any recommendations on things to do? Places to eat?

Drink beer?
Paulaner is supposedly the big local beer.

Mikes Bikes.
Best thing I did while visiting Germany. They take you on a tour of Munich, describe all the history, ridiculous Hilter stories, see all the monuments and laugh a lot. Then you go to a beer garden where half the people drink too much. Ride home is best part as you watch drunk idiots try not to get run over or ride off a bridge.

You can surf in the English garden or grab a beer at Ayinger am platzl.
Dachau. The first Nazi camp. We went expecting to spend the morning and we wound up spending most of the day there.
English Garden. Have some beers, pretzels, and a pig knuckle.
If the layover is 10 hours it kind of depends if you have to clear customs in and out. That's not a ton of time for some of these things. Also what time is it?
If you have time during the day head for downtown where the clock tower is, get a nice traditional beer hall dinner.

Of course. Why did I even bother to look this up. Consistency is good
I had an 8+ hour layover in Munich a few years ago on a trip to India so I cleared customs and immigration and took the train downtown. Had lunch and a few beers at the Hofbrau house walked around a bit then headed over to Olympic park. I’ve been to Munich a few times so it was basically lunch and walking around. Easy to do if you have more than 4 or 5 hours
Munich airport isn't terribly far but it's still a good bit outside (northeast) of the city so you may decide you'd rather not head all the way down into the city center.
If you're into drinking beer while in Bavaria you could consider checking out a couple towns that the airport is somewhat sandwiched between.
To the north of the airport is Freising where Weihenstephan brewery is located and to the southeast is Erding where Erdinger brewery is located. You'll find German and perhaps Italian fare in both places. Prost!

if its a sunny warm day, probably see some topless chicks getting some sun in the park on your way for a beer... but everyone mentioning English Garden is probably right.. been decades since I have been there... but it is classic.. oh, the "hot dog" stands serving white brats were pretty good.
I was there right after college (summer backpacking across Europe). when I arrived in Munich I grabbed some lunch and headed to the park to get my bearings and walked smack into a naked coed game of frisbee. Welcome to English gardens.
similar experience.. I saw topless sunbathers and a naked guy swimming in a fast-moving narrow channel of a brook that kinda looked like one of those tiny "lap pools". Just weird stuff.
We were in Munich one year when they were having Soccer championships at Munich stadium and you couldnt get into Hofbraehouse. So we have hacker-pschorr recommended to us. It was incredible and such a local experience.

An option and nice alternative to the Big 6 breweries is G. Schneider & Sohn. They have their Schneider Brauhaus/restaurant location just around the corner from Marienplatz in the city center, where they have Schneiderweisse, Aventinus, etc flowing of course. I'm getting thirsty just typing about it.
also.. not sure you can do it during a layover... but I did it as a day trip from Munchen... take train to Salzburg or Neuschwanstein.. you'd have to check train schedules to be sure you'd be able to pull it off.

Marienplatz in the center of town has beautiful architecture
too many variables to make sure that he can get back to the airport in time, imo.also.. not sure you can do it during a layover... but I did it as a day trip from Munchen... take train to Salzburg or Neuschwanstein.. you'd have to check train schedules to be sure you'd be able to pull it off.

Hey! We're neighbors.. I'm in the tan number down the hill.. once "ran" from the white one to the tan one to try to beat the closing time. Was incredibly stupid to go cross-country down the side of that thing.. so much loose rock.. good boots saved the day
You live in the hood. Slumming it in that tan thing.Hey! We're neighbors.. I'm in the tan number down the hill.. once "ran" from the white one to the tan one to try to beat the closing time.

No, no. I've been in his house before he moved in. It's an amazing piece of real-estate. Among other great things, it has a vast underground complex including a submarine pen.
All the real-estate on our side of the lake is prime real-estate. The other side of the lake is the wrong side of tracks, where properties are owned by folks who aren't all full-on billionaires. Naturally, we don't socialize with those people.
To note, that property on mountain.. not a waterfront property at all.. was made by his crazy ancestor around 1900.. new money.. Mad King Ludwig. Mad Walt Disney copied it only 50 years later or so.
