Really liked the atmosphere, warm and inviting. The food was pretty good, not great. I had the Krustenschaufele (roasted pork shoulder) which was very tender and delicious. 5 stars. My wife meal was just ok. The Vanilla ice cream with Warm cherry sauce was very nice. What really stood out was our waiter Gregor. Unlike most service in Germany, he was very attentive, explained the menu and meals to us, and stopped to chat after the meal asking about our trip. That earned Gregor and American sized tip.

A very good place to try local dishes. It's quite a big place so we managed to find a table although we had no prior reservations. Also the house white wine was surprisingly good, but of course most of the people drink the local beer!

It’s true German food place with nice vibes and great atmosphere. Wine is by glass simple one, nothing fancy, fish and meat for main, some salads and seasonal dishes. Quite busy and better reserve a table. Good for a group gatherings

Very atmospheric traditional Bavarian restaurant with great views. As non-meat eaters we can find Germany a culinary challenge but the cheese paste starter, pike perch and carp were all flavoursome and very filling. Great value.

We came with a group. We loved the environment and vibe, a classic place for family or formal activities. The food was fine. We had fried pork chop and steak, the pork tasted good with crispy outside, the steak was on the dry side. I'm not sure this is typical Bavarian cooking.

Went there twice, the 5 star review is especially deserved for the roasted pork shoulder Krustenschaufele, which was delicious and large. A nice place too, by/over the river.
