Wow! This place did not disappoint…read more From the attentive service, the great vibe and atmosphere, to the outstanding food...no wonder this place is always busy. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially if you have a bigger group. They have an extensive menu and can recommend the Schaufele and the Schmankerlpfanne (I know that's a mouthful)....it was definitely our best meal in Rothenburg. And be sure to try their selection of schnapps.

This restaurant is proclaimed to be the oldest in the town, with the foundation dating back to 900…read moreAD. It is a very small place with maybe 10 tables inside and about 5 outside. Tables outside are group seating meaning, if you have 2 in your party you will be seated at a table with another party to fill the seating. Indoor seating is not group seating. YOU WILL NEED RESERVATIONS TO GET INDOOR SEATING OR TO ABOID LONG WAITS. The menu is very limited to a few items-- you aren't coming here for variety, you're coming for the history. The food is good and the portions are "normal". The wine and alcohol menu is extensive. There is no parking-- you will need to walk to the location. There is 1 table inside that can hold a party of 8ish and maybe 2 that can hold 6. This is not the right venue for a party of more than 8 unless everyone is comfortable sitting apart.

Very delicious German food. Reservations strongly suggested! You can request to dine in the cavern…read more I got the venison special and the steak was cooked well with no gamey taste. The pork spare ribs were fall off the bone with a good char that gave it so much flavor. The steak & pork skewer also came out delicious. I tried the chestnut soup sounds weird but it was so delicious. It was slightly sweet and warm. We also ordered the gluhwein seeing as they won an award last year for it and it was one of the best I had in Germany. I preferred the red over white gluhwein. Staff was friendly.

This review is not about the service. Sitting inside gave me a direct Birds Eye view into the kitchen... unfortunately. After ordering I had to watch the person in the kitchen, while preparing foods, eating and licking his fingers. It completely ruined my meal!! The taste wasn't bad at all but i was already too thrown off having to watch this the entire time i was there. I'm super bummed, my 20$ meal was left on the plate.

I had a roast pork with coleslaw and potato dumplings. The most tender pork I've ever tasted, seriously. The sauce was so good that I used it for potato dumplings as well. Coleslaw is not mayonnaise based like often seen in US ,but this one is flavorful with adequate amount of vinegar in it, and not sour at all. If you come to this wonderful town, please dine in here. You will not be disappointed. BTW, the hotel is as good as the restaurant. Really right in the heart of everything, yet quiet at night. The staff is super friendly and professional.

I have been to this small restaurant in the Gasthof so many times that I cannot even begin to…read moreremember. I would divert my route or even just drive to the town to eat here. Casually known as the Potato Restaurant, the potato is king here. The potato and garlic soup is a must have for the first course. Then save room. The main servings are LARGE. I highly recommend the Schweinshaxe, a German dish, which is a roasted ham hock or "pork knuckle". The ham hock is the end of the pig's leg, just above the ankle and below the meaty ham part. It was blue-collar and poor peoples' food so it is a cheap cut that is cooked for a long time. It is one of the 2 best I have ever had. They speak English and other languages in this casual place. If you go during tourist season it can be packed. If you are not used to German food, then you may want to steer away from the sauerkraut casseroles as the sauerkraut is delicious, but quite strong. This is not the type of place for a fast-food lover. Order a full meal, with beers, and you are here for at least one to two hours of non-stop eating and drinking and you will be so stuffed you will have to walk for an hour or if you are staying close by, a nap is definitely in order.
