The ambience is beautiful with the castle next-door to the outdoor seating. The view of the town below is breathtaking. The staff is helpful and efficient. The schnitzel with noodles and salad was delicious. read more

Burgschänke - Schnitzel with mushroom sauce, noodles, and salad - German Near Me - Landstuhl, RP

I'm being really generous giving them a three. The server was rude the second we got there a young girl with brunette hair. The service was extremely slow and gave us the wrong order. No one came back at all to fix the mistake. Would never go back for the food. The fries were almost as salty as the waitress. Worst food I have ever had in Germany. The views are nice. If you don't mind a super rude waitress and just want a drink with a view go there. I wouldn't recommend the food at all. read more

We were recommended to check this out and it far exceeded our expectations. My son and I shared the dry aged beef, roasted vegetables, and French fries. It was SO good! We also ordered creme brûlée and the apple strudel; both incredible. Very generous and patient waitstaff. Will definitely return! read more

great views, cozy setting and decent food. I had the wild boar sausage (a little dry but good seasoning). The missus had the schnitzel with mushrooms and cleared her plate. They take credit card for orders more than €10. read more

We last visited Nanstein Castle quite a long time ago. As we found ourselves in the area again we decided to stop by for old times sake and see how restoration was going. Well, sadly, we showed up on the one day of the week the castle was closed. However, we were able to stop into the Burgschanke for a bite to eat which was a completely unexpected stop as this 'castle tavern' was not here the last time we visited! We were approached as soon as we entered and asked if we had a reservation. Oh, no. Turned out OK as they had two tables available at the moment. Yea! The staff speak English, the menu is in English so no worries if you don't speak German. We had a light lunch of beef broth with bone marrow balls and a side salad. They also have wursts and other German fare you would expect. But we don't have huge appetites so this lunch suited us very well. First the soup. A rich, dark beef broth. A little salty, and very flavorful. The bone marrow balls remind me of matzah balls. This was an all together satisfying starter. It came with a small loaf of bread. Soft on the inside, crusty on the outside. A very nice, warm accompaniment to the soup. Next, the salad. We had been in Germany over two weeks at this point and none of the meals we had up to this point really reminded us of those we remembered from when we lived in Germany. That's fine. Pallets change. Chefs like to experiment. It's all good. But this salad! This is the salad we remember. The mix of greens. The salad dressing. This folks is a German salad. I know you might not care, but I am so happy to have found that taste again. It was fresh and flavorful and exactly what we needed. A hotel is located a little ways down the hill from the castle. Some people parked there and walked up. We drove all the way up to the castle and found parking on site. You can also walk all the way up to the castle or ride your bike on one of the many trails crisscrossing the property. The ambiance here is chill, fun and very German. The staff are friendly, professional and easy going. Restrooms are down a hall at the back of the restaurant. Remember to call in a reservation! You should definitely stop by for a meal. read more

Restaurant that is on the top of the mountain near a hiking trail, and near the remains of a historic castle. I honestly was going to leave - since sometimes German food is kind of hit or miss for me, yet the waitresses went out of her way to convince me to state and helped me pick something that she thought I would enjoy, which I did - the portesteak or something like that. Either way, great location tucked away - will definitely be back in the summer months. They also take credit card which isn't always guaranteed with these smaller restaurants. read more

Burgschänke - German Near Me - Landstuhl, RP

This restaurant is at top of the town by a castle, theres is plenty of parking here so driving up is no trouble. The staff is pretty nice and friendly and they were great accommodating our party as we were a large party in the times of social distancing. They speak a fair amount of English and they only take CASH, as well as only EUROS. The decor is so nice and the outside sitting here has an overview of the town so sitting outside is a great idea, specially during the sun set hours, it looks super pretty here. ELSSASSER FLAMMKUCHEN- the second word on the name of this dish kind of means flat bread ( this is not a direct translation) but after ordering this that is what I got. the flat bread is large enough to be a meal even tough it is at the appetiser menu. I loved it and tasted pretty nice and fresh. To pay we had to just walk up to the exit and pay before walking out. this is a perfect place to have a meal or a drink after visiting the case. read more

My go to German restaurant in Landstuhl. Not only is the food flavorful and reasonable priced, but you cannot beat the views.

Just a simple place in a nice setting making some of the best fresh food I have had in my travels around the EU. Simple home town cooking by somebody who knows how and cares too Cheers read more

The best place for the views, food and beer! Would recommend for anyone new to Landstuhl area.

Recommend. I really enjoy taking the hike up here when the weather is nice and enjoying a beer on the patio with my dog. I also think the food is pretty good too! I have ordered enough orders of the schnitzel and fries to be at least 30% schnitzel now. I'm also tried a salad and one of their sausage dinners. I enjoy the food. It's not high brow by any means, but it's yummy and fairly priced. And you get to watch the airplanes take off and land while you have a bite and a beverage. Really excited when the weather is better so I can return to my hikes and beers here! read more

Not sure why the service here is so bad. Slow and not friendly. Took 2 hours to get food and one of our friends never even got her food... the place has such a great view, too bad the restaurant can't compare. read more

Very delicious, affordable, and convenient. I highly recommend the Sausage mit Kraut. Very nicely paired with a cold Pilsner. It is expected that you finish your meal when you visit. read more

Went up here on a snowy Sunday evening (maybe 6p?). The place is small but very comfy and was warm with low lighting. There was only one other table with people on it. Service was a bit slow, which is odd given there were only my son and I, plus another table. The server didn't seem to want to be bothered by us, she was busy cleaning the bar area. She was nice enough, though, once she made time for us. The food, however, came relatively quickly. We both ordered the schnitzel and it was very good, pretty decent portion, not huge but satisfying. Glühwein not on the menu but was available when I asked for it. There isn't much parking up there and the road is windy and can be icy in snow but totally worth the trip! If I'm ever in Landstuhl again, this is on the "must go to" list. I'll get a designated driver since it's not likely a good idea to drink and drive that road back down. read more

Casual atmosphere, great homestyle cooking and wonderful conversation. The owner's son took care of us in this family-run business. He spoke English well so we enjoyed asking him so many questions about Germany. The schnitzel and beefsteak were delicious. We also tried the French fries and the panned-fries potatoes. Yummy! And then we ended with the streudel. Wow. We are fat and happy. We would come back. Ask for Alex. He is wonderful. read more

Love this place. If you want authentic German food in a beautiful and authentic German setting then you should come here. I bring all visitors here first so they can immerse themselves in the wonderful atmosphere that this restaurant has to offer. The service is good but the food is OUTSTANDING! Reasonably priced for what you get. Try the Truffle soup. It is amazing! read more

This was a recommendation from a friend and we were not disappointed. This place has a beautiful few of Landstuhl and is just outside the castle. This was my first German meal and it was close to Ramstein AFB. You can't beat watching the sunset with some good German beer, sausage, and a mountain of sauerkraut. read more

In the summer, if in Landstuhl do go to this lovely Gaststaette. The view from the fortress is amazing. The food is solid and the servers do speak English for those linguistically challenged. It's not German gourmet food but for the Amis they have Freedom Fries! read more

We live right down the street from this place and we go probably twice a month. This is the best German place in the area hands down. Great traditional German dishes and their specials are always great. Surprisingly good seafood as well. If venison is being offered jump on it, it's outstanding. The prices are reasonable and the the service is good usually. The setting couldn't be any better. Sit outside in the summer or next to the fire in the winter. We have a lot of memories here and will miss Burgshanke when we leave! read more

The view is absolutely amazing, but the service is terrible. Not only was our waitress rude and short but also super slow. It took forever to get out drinks( a beer and a water) and after ordering food she never checked if we'd like to have more drinks after ours been finished already. The food was OK, my husband liked his pork belly, the sauerkraut was reasonable. read more

This is one of my favorite places, and it has a great view. All of the food I've ordered here has been great, and the service is outstanding. I love coming here and having a beer during the summer and sitting outside. Being located at the castle also makes it a cool place to take out of town company. read more

Loved this place. We were staying at the Schloss hotel and this was right up the trail from it. Food and beer were great, friendly service, and the view of both the valley and the castle are to die for. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! read more

I decided to give this place a try based on reviews. First of all, it was not easy to find. Second, the food here was absolutely disgusting. I felt sick after ordering the schnitzel, which reminded me of eating a German TV dinner. The sauerkraut was flavorless and the service was slow. Honestly, I gave one star because there is a beautiful view. I had much better German food in K-town. read more

This was our absolute favorite place to eat and drink during my whole time in Germany. The food is absolutely spectacular!! The fries are always perfect. German beer on tap, so of course you can't go wrong there! The best part, you are on top of a mountain (The Melkerei) overlooking the entire valley below. You can see the Airbase, Ramstein Village, almost to Weilerbach. Also, there is a freaking medieval castle right behind you!!!!. So yes, you are drinking German beer, at a castle, on top of a freaking mountain!!!! Fairy-tail for foodies and beer lovers!!! read more

Live in Landstuhl Atzel nearby and the Burg is our staple restaurant. It's easily accessible by road but also by hiking path from Landstuhl. It takes us about 30 mins from the house with 2 young kids. The view over town and over base is awesome. Very good schnitzel as well as other typical German dishes. The best during good weather when you can sit outside. Plenty of seating and space and they're always nice to our kids, bring small kids cups. If you sit toward the outside, the kids can plan in the area near the castle where you can keep them in sight from the tables. Also good for sitting inside during worse weather. Our favorite relaxed dining experience in the summer. read more

Amazing place , the view is great . Food is a bit hidden miss but they're very child friendly

Lovely view, ambience, and service! Goulash quite nice with accompanying salad very fresh. The waitress shared the owner hunted the meat and they work to use local sourced food. Flammkuchen was fab, nice crispy underside! read more

It was good, and for being located next to a castle it was exactly what one would expect. Service was good and the view was great. Traditional German meal(s) and both of us enjoyed. Would eat here without hesitation in regards to hiking and visiting the castle ruins. If your up in the area, would recommend for a simple German meal. read more

I love coming to Burgschänke for their pea soup, with sausage link, and a German beer. Especially on a cold, foggy day...it just hits the spot. Although I am not partial to their schnitzel, I definitely recommend the soup. read more

Went here with my husband for a work function and they had a buffet set up for the function. EVERYTHING was wonderful and the best Germany food we have had thus far! The gravy for the noodles and schnitzel has me dying to go back! read more

The only reason this place doesn't get one star is because of the view. The food was too salty, the people running it were indifferent that we were there and it isn't the easiest place to find. All in all, don't waste your time unless you are looking for an awesome view. read more
