One of the greatest Franconian biergarten. This place epitomizes the German country-living at its…read morebest! Their fried chicken (haehnchen) is one of the best around, and it's so reasonable. It's a biergarten-style restaurant, so you usually order, pay and wait for food before you sit down to eat. I think I usually spent less than 10 euro for everything I ate and drank. It's very helpful if you spoke some German, but you can manage because they are so polite, kind and accommodating--they appreciate you just trying your German. You may not be able to find this place if you didn't know where you were going. I suggest to just put the address in the GPS and go. There are plenty of seating outside if the weather is nice. I think they usually close during winter season for holidays and improvements/renovations. During the cold season when they are open, the indoor restaurant portion is open. It's like a normal restaurant then. You choose your seat and order. As a common experience, you may have to share a table with someon since it's a very popular place and gets very crowded especially on the weekend. Also, as usual cash only.

What more can I say about Schiller than what I said already in the previous review?! Schiller…read moreremains to be one of my favorite Franconian biergarten/restaurants. Since we don't live too close to it anymore, we've been making extra efforts to visit here now that COVID-19 restrictions have been mostly lifted. Just recently wearing of masks has been totally lifted. The only thing still required is to sanitize your hands (it's a good idea anyway COVID or not) and register your contact information on app or paper upon entering. Their schäuferla (slow roasted pork shoulder) served with potato dumpling and sauerkraut is simply the best in Franconia, perhaps in the entire Bavaria/Germany. It's that good IMHO, and on top of that it's very reasonable for only 10€. I could enjoy it every time I eat here. Biergarten is a local favorite, and hikers, bikers & motorcyclists make this place a regular stop to enjoy food and drinks. The popularity is evident by the patrons' cars parked along the road on both directions. Obviously, I don't know what the future holds in terms of our battle against COVID, but I sure hope we can continue to enjoy this biergarten/restaurant this winter (biergarten will be closed for the winter, so we have to be able to eat indoors). Schiller, thank you for providing great food and Franconian hospitality! We will make every effort to come back to enjoy your food.

As aways, great Frankonian food. One of first stops when visiting Germany. Definitely worth it if…read moretraveling in the Bamberg area.
