Beautiful rustic decor inside. Decent service. We ordered the Wiener schnitzel and noodles and gravy. The schnitzel was perfect with fries, freshly cooked. The noodles and gravy were good but I'm not into it that much. For drinks we had wheat beer and the beer with German lemonade. Loved the latter.

I was a bit underwhelmed with my first German dining experience. Having some time between trains, I found my way here. This place is huge with seats everywhere. Service was a touch slow, but nothing to complain about. The food was where I was not impressed. I ordered a schnitzel with a side of fries. The schnitzel had not enough seasoning to it which rendered it good at best. The fries had zero flavor and the texture was off. The beer I had was good though. I'd pass the next time I was here unless I was in a jiffy in which case it is serviceable.

Came here on my last day in Stuttgart to meet up with extended family. We were a party of 7 and were seated right away (we RSVP, it seems like it could get pretty bust here). The server was really nice and spoke English perfectly and made us feel really welcomed. The food here was really delicious and I believe traditional, which I really miss since coming back home. ANYWAYS. What we got: - Maultaschen (Carls Tipp): Three types of Swabian ravioli with onions, potato salad and black beer gravy. This was really delicious and hearty. The potato salad balanced out the richness of the ravioli and the gravy. Even the next day it was still delicious. - Schwabenteller: Pork tenderloin and a small breaded veal chop with black beer gravy served with Swabian ravioli and cheese noodles. My mom ordered this and it was delicious as well! Love that it was a little bit of everything! We sat indoors, but there are plenty of outdoor seating available if you want to people watch and just take in the city. Overall, this spot was really good, and one of our family members mentioned that whenever his job has clientele in town, this was a spot that they take them to because of the variety and deliciousness of the food and beer.

My Stuttgart dwelling host said that since I was in Swabian land l must try Swabian food! So I asked my local friend to recommend a good Swabian eatery. At first she said all good Schwabian cooking can only be found outside the city, in the villages. Then she settled for Carls Brauhaus am Schlossplatz - yes right in the central plaza! Since we are both vegetarian, there were only two things we could order from their tome of a menu: Käsespätzle und Maultaschen. Which, according to my friend, reminded her of her childhood visits to her very Swabian grandparents. I thoroughly enjoyed that meal though, as they really knew how to make good alcohol free drinks, and the server was super pleasant and accommodating. I was also exposed to a classic German dessert: Heiße Liebe (hot love) - hot raspberry sauce over cold vanilla ice-cream. It was quite impressive! There are outdoor and indoor seating, but since it was a brutally hot day in Stuttgart, we opted for indoor seating, which was massive. Despite the large space and hordes of people, their service was always prompt and attentive. I had expected a large bill - to pay for its prime location and tourist attraction. However, their pricing was surprisingly reasonable.

Veal schnitzel
Mercedes S.

Great service from the moment we arrived, food is delicious the veal schnitzel is amazing and the portions are more than enough. Served with potato salad and cranberry sauce. Restaurant is big but since is busy the atmosphere was very welcoming Our waiter/host had a great personality and spoke perfect English so no problem there.

This place was a fun place to visit. The dessert with the apples were awesome. The service was fine, the waiter spoke five languages, which was really entertaining the overall atmosphere. It was very pleasant, and the seating wasn't terrible in terms of having to wait. overall a nice visit and would recommend if you're in the area.

Located along a lively main square with great areas to photograph. Outside seating was full. Seated inside, it was a bit noisy for conversation. Our service was just ok, but our dishes were prepared very well. I hade the roast Pork in a dark beer gravy and potato dumpling. Light cabbage coleslaw was served with my meal. Crispy shank as my husband would describe it was good, but really difficult for him to cut into. Sometimes he had to use his hand to steady the meat. It had a a good flavor overall, just not an easy meal or one you might like to eat in the company of others or a first date.

Sanwald hefe weizen

We stopped in here for lunch while wandering around the city. It was a great stop from the cold and in the main area next to Schlossplatz. The inside is large and modern-rustic, with regular and large tables to meet new friends & a bar. We were greeted when we entered and seated quickly, the staff was friendly and was able to provide English menus to aid our choices. The prices are fair and especially for the location we were pleasantly surprised. The drink selection was large with a wide variety of beers and wine. We enjoyed their own Dinklacker pils & Sandwald hefe weizen, both went down easy. Since we were there for lunch we didn't order as many of the classics but enjoyed a lighter meal. We started out with the vesper-platte which had a mixture of meats & cheeses. It was a great way to try some meats you might not order individually and everything was tasty. Then we had the tomato soup (tomatencremesuppe), the local ravioli soup (maultaschensuppe) and some spätzle and of course a pretzel. All the dishes were good. The tomato soup was rich & almost buttery from the cheese on top. The ravioli soup had a solid both that we compared to wonton soup (though not the same but a way to describe it) & the spatzle was heavenly. Overall this was a great stop and a great value. Enjoy grabbing a bit & a drink as a break while exploring the city!

Weiner schnitzel
Philip G.

Good German food. I got the weiner schnitzel and a beer and it was pretty good. I would eat here again.

Käsespätzle
Christina C.

This place is located right in the city center where all the shoppping stores are and its near the old castle and new palace. I came here with a group of friends after our study abroad advisor suggested this place to us. They have German food and Swabian food. They also have good beer options to choose from. You can eat inside or outside. Everyone either got the käsespätzle (which tastes like mac n cheese) or schnitzel (which is breaded and fried meat) which is practically what every foreigner orders when they are in Germany to be on the safe side lol. So, I ordered the käsespätzle but it tasted alright. I've had better at a different restaurant in Germany. But I tried the schnitzel and it was good. I regretted not getting that instead. I still think about how good the schnitzel was to this day lol. We received slow service but then again they were pretty busy.

This was the first place I stopped at in Stuttgart per recommendaiton of the hotel front desk. Ok, inside is huge and welcoming but the outside seating is great. It's right next to the Schlossplatz and makes for prime people watching and socializing. The menu here is extensive and some options looked pretty fancy. Pricing was a bit on the higher end but the service didnt match it. My experience here was with less than stellar service and bit of a long wait for my beer. Food came out first. This place is worth at least visiting once.

Very touristy beer hall. They do have an English menu. The beer and food was decent but the service was horrible! Our waiter was rude and only came back to check on us once. We actually had to flag another wait staff to place additional orders. Will not be coming back again even if it's centrally located and close to Schlossplatz.

Roasted Pork shank, skin left on then finished in hot oil making the skin turn into crackle. Mouth watering yet? It should be!

Meh. Good atmosphere, the meal was mediocre. Was here previously and liked it, just seemed very pedestrian tonight.

Fortunately the meals are much better than my recall of their German names. The woman serving us…read morewas equally as fabulous as the meal. The salad had potatoes that were soaked in a vinegar and oIl based dressing. I am positive that my description does a huge disservice. I had three filet dinner with chicken, lamb and beef. All tender and tasty! They were joined by a pasta with a delicious gravy. All was topped off fried apple rings and vanilla ice cream. When in Stuttgart Germany I highly recommend this restaurant.

If I'm back in the area I'll give Staffele another visit, but I'm rounding up from 3.5 based on the…read morefirst visit. Staffele is a cute little place tucked back into the side streets in the seam between the Mitte, Sud, and West neighborhoods, a quick walk from Feuersee. The inside is old-school dark and pub-like, but outside they have a small (covered) beer garden with a handful of tables. You are right in the city, but tucked into a tiny side-street, so it's still nicely quiet. We found the service to be okay, but even more business-like than our other meals of the week. As far as the food went, the jaegerschnitzel was good, and the maultaschen with eggs was one of my favorite dishes of the trip. Usually maultaschen seems to be served as a giant meat-filled ravioli with a cream sauce or broth, but here they serve it chopped into bite-sized pieces, pan-fried with eggs, and without sauce (vaguely like fried-rice, but with meat ravioli). It was a nice change of pace and a tasty choice. If I find myself in the area again, I'll stop by and try some more of the menu out...
