Food was very good and hearty which Franconian foods tend to be. Service was also good. The beer was excellent. Actually we came here twice on the same day. Once to enjoy our lunch before our hike, and again after our short hike due to the inclement weather. We had cappuccino and dessert which was excellent--like a cheese cake, but it was made of some local fresh cheese. If you're in the area, this is an excellent restaurant and brewery to visit. Highly recommended.

The spätzle was great and the Schnitzel Wiener Art and Jägerschnitzel were excellent. Great place to meet off the A6. It's a small town but seemed very nice even though we just had a few minutes to walk around before dinner. We met on a Wednesday night and the restaurant filled up quickly. Make a reservation if you can. Ilshofen is exactly half way in between Stuttgart and Nuremberg

This was a wise decision, although I did not see them turn anyone away. There were several large groups seated around us. My husband, my son and his girlfriend who are both studying in Würzburg had never been to this part of the river. It overlooks the water and has the famous large baroque, blue crane--hence the title, old crane--in the center of its outdoor table section with views of the Main River. This area was once a shipping harbor where goods such as grain were mostly unloaded until the mid-19th century. Today, it's brimming with great local beer and wines (we could see the vineyards from our outdoor table) and food! It was white asparagus season when we were there, which I can never resist. It was delicious, but I was happy to be given a bite as well of the schnitzel and fries--a regional favorite in general. Everything we had was great. Next time we will have to leave room for dessert--the Kaiserschmarrn the table next to us ordered looked amazing!

We ordered the popular sausages with gravy. As a side we picked sauerkraut and potato salad. The potato salad and the sauerkraut was okay, but the sausages tasted like plastic and the gravy and the sausages were cold. The food wasn't good unfortunately. They offered a special beer with elderflower which was great and very refreshing on this hot summer day :) I would come back, but only for the drinks and the view, def not for the food...

Der Biergarten ist übersichtlich...aber dafür in keinem optisch guten Zustand. Tische und Bänke sind stark beansprucht ....und von der blauen Farbe sind an manchen Garnituren nur noch Reste.
