Delicious sausages and sauerkraut with mustard. This historic Wurstkuchl has been standing for over 500 years. There is an open charcoal grill and the homemade sausages made from pure pork ham, the sauerkraut from their own fermentation cellar and the well-known Wurstkuchl mustard. Delicious and worth the short wait as there is likely to be a line to order. They do have table service as well if you prefer to sit and place an order and enjoy your meal overlooking the Danube.
Our walking tour of Regensburg took us to this amazing, historical spot and we had to indulge in a sausage! The building itself is in a really cool spot, which I'm sure is bustling during the summer, but we ventured over in December, so it was fairly quiet. Service was quick and easy, as they cook the sausages over an open flame! The roll, sweet mustard, yummy sauerkraut, and tasty sausages make for the perfect lunch or afternoon snack! If we weren't on a cruise boat, I would have come back again and again!
On a trip from Berlin to Prague we decided to stop and look for lunch in a picturesque German river town called Regensburg. We walked down the old narrow streets looking for something to eat, and by chance we found a small riverside building that had quite a lively crowds. This kitchen specialized in bratwursts, and I am not lying when I say these were rhetorical best brats I've ever had. Throughout our entire trip through Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, this was not only the best bratwurst, but it was the best meal. Nothing fancy, small grilled brats laid upon small but firm roll, and topped with the most flavorful deli mustard. We ordered several of these brats, and they were very affordable. The service was great, and the brats came out very quickly. You can peak inside the kitchen and see the grill masters hard at work. Then you get a tray designed to perfectly hold the brats as you take them to an outdoor table where you have a gorgeous view of the Old Stone Bridge that crosses the Danube. We later found out that this kitchen is historic. It is the oldest continuously open restaurant in the world. Some tips: Order a few per person. They are hearty, but relatively small. You won't mind filling up on them. Also, you can order the mustard online. I recently purchased some to have on hand. Cheers!!
Restaurant opened 500 years ago, surviving all wars and even Covid. Here is the pictures inside but usually people prefer sitting outside, we found too late that only cash is acceptable.
Located alongside the Danube River. Inside and outside dining areas. Wonderful regional food. We had sausages with sourkraut, bread, and beverages. Truly wonderful food, in my opinion the best sourkraut I've ever had. And the sausages were prepared and cooked perfectly. The beer here is definitely a higher quality than what we can get in Hawaii. They make a sweet and slightly spicy mustard that is a perfect accompaniment for their sausages. We asked if they sold the mustard and were pleasantly impressed at the taste and quality that all of us purchased multiple bottles to take home. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Loved this place and the city it's in. If you ever get a chance take it. Definitely an experience to remember.
According to the local shopping guide this is the "Oldest food stall in the world." How could we pass up giving it a try? Well, we couldn't! We ordered one of their traditional sausages on bread to share, mainly because we were still full from lunch... the sausages were smaller than we're accustomed to, but there were two on the roll, along with Bavarian mustard and sauerkraut. I thought the sandwich was good, and it was priced right at around $4. When you get to the front of the restaurant to order you can see the sausages being prepared. The decor is old world Bavarian and there is both inside and outside seating. This was a must do for us. It's very reasonably priced and quick. So if you have the chance I would recommend you give it a try.
Oldest sausage is also best sausage. Absolutely Delicous!!! You can also grab a really good beer but that's only to go. You eat you delicacy is a really cool outdoor area that looks onto the river which is great unless it's cold and rainy like it was the night we went - still awesome
You can't say anything bad about this historic eatery! It's the cutest little place serving up the best little grilled sausages ever. It's simple and delicious. The outside seating with excellent bridge views would be perfect on a warm day. There are only a few seats inside. Great beer, great sausages, great service, great history, and great views. It's a must-try in Regensburg.
They are cash only. We found this restaurant while searching for sight-seeing and things to do near Grafenwhoer. It is arguably the oldest continuously open public restaurant in the world. There is a smaller building where you can order to go, and sit in their outdoor seating. Or you can sit inside in their formal restaurant. They are known for making dishes with sausages, but also serve other authentic dishes. We went here for lunch and I had the finger noodles and sauerkraut. They offer outdoor seating near the river and also have indoor seating. If you want delicious food that has a lot of history behind it, this is a must visit location. There are also a lot of shops and areas to walk around to make a nice day trip of this location.
OMG this is a MUST stop. Before or after your tour but don't miss it. Delicious food by the river what's not to love!
This is a great stop for a snack along the Danube in Regensburg. There was a line for seating so we got takeout from the window and easily found a bench along the river where we could sit and eat. Super tasty and inexpensive, definitely worth the stop.
How can you not stop here when in port! The aroma of wurst and kraut hooked me as soon as we got close and even though we had just recently had breakfast we had to stop. Be prepared for sticky fingers the mustard oozes out as you savor the delicious sandwich
Man...this is what I came here for. The historic and oldest sausage house in Regensberg. Built in 1806 to feed the workers that built the bridge. Located on the Danube with 95% of the dining tables located outside. You can eat inside but why..... The service was quick and they spoke English. For about 6 euros you get 6 sausages and sauerkraut. Add the BEST German potato salad for 1 euro. Bread is in a common basket located on each table for 1 euro each. Make sure you get the sweet mustard it is very good on the sausage. You can go inside and see them grilling the sausage. It smells so good! Beer list is short maybe six beers. One dark for me and a pilsner for the wife. Total bill was like 17 euros. Definitely eat here and I reccomend.
Sat at a table on a cool Saturday afternoon. Service was fast. There was a long line for the to go items. We sat at a table and had the 2 white sausages- very tender and fabulous! Then we also had the 6 sausages with sauerkraut. The 6 sausages were cooked on a grill while the whites were cooked in a broth. The 6 are about the size of a US breakfast sausage. We also shared the potato salad which had great flavor. It is must stop if you are in the town as it is the oldest sausage shop. They also have their own mustard. We got a jar. It is a little sweeter but super delicious! read more

This was our first meal in Germany and it was amazing. In my opinion after traveling central and southern Germany for two weeks they had the best sausages of this trip. My husband loved the cucumber potato salad and has been trying to find a similar recipe because it is now his favorite German potato salad. Great food & Service. read more

I just love eating food that has a history behind it. The same recipe since 1806 when the current family took over. That's what's so beautiful about Europe. Places, buildings, bridges, churches still standing from centuries ago. I just think it was great to dine in the oldest sausage maker in Regensburg. The service: Quick and simple! It was a little challenging to read the menu but since the menu was simple it wasn't too hard. The food: Amazing!! The sausages may be little but they are full of flavor and so good. The sauerkraut was the best. Unlike I've ever tasted in America. It wasn't so sour like what I'm used to tasting. We also had the potato soup....that hit the spot since it was a little chilly out for this Hawaiian resident. I had a great experience not only because of the food but because I was also with my family. It was great! If you're ever in Regensburg, Germany definitely stop by for a bite. read more

I stop by here almost every time I'm in Regensburg. It's a historic landmark and arguably home of the bratwurst. Its located right by the Danube river, so if its warm and sunny enough, sitting outside is preferred to sitting inside. I was lucky enough to get a seat inside when I went when it was cold and rainy though. Service has been pleasant here with friendly servers (that speak English) and the food comes within a reasonable time. read more
I think this place should be called little sausage house. It's been around since the beginning of time or close enough. It's a tiny stone/brick building along the Danube just below the Stone Bridge that has charming little windows with flower boxes. You walk into the kitchen where the sausages of delectableness are being grilled right in front of your face. Try to refrain from immediately running over to stuff as many of those little sausages in your face as much as possible. Instead, go through the door on the left and find a cozy wooden bench, where they will take your order for 6, 8, 10 sausages on a generous bed of sauerkraut. Their sweet mustard on the table is one-of-a-kind - take some home if you can. Note: the bread basket under the checkered cloth is not complimentary all-you-can eat, you will be charged for the number of pretzels or rolls you eat. read more

Cheap eats.. only if you get the 3 im Weckla to go! Otherwise, its pricier to sit down. Yesterday we were in Nurenburg trying their version of the famous 3 in a roll bratwurst, known in German as 3 im Weckla, at their Bratwursthäusle near San Sanbald. On our tour, we were told that Regensburg has the oldest Bratwursthäusle, dating back 800 years, and to disregard the ones we tried in Nurenburg. How could we not stop here and compare these two rival sandwiches? The tiny restaurant is located a half block down the river from the Stone Bridge. If you are looking at the walkway to the Stone bridge, go right and you can't miss the place, as you will smell the smokey goodness coming from the chimney. Like Nurenburg, they also sell the sandwich for €2,50, but if you get it to go. They do offer table service and with a small inside and outside seating. Prices are higher. You step into the kitchen and order your bratwurst. Unlike Nuremburg, who only gave me 3 sausages in a bun, Regensburg asked if I wanted sauerkraut and sweet mustard. Sure, why not? So which one is better? Quite honestly both were delicious. Nurenburg tasted a little more smoky, however, Regensburg offered me sauerkraut and mustard, so for an added bang to my buck, I'm giving the Historic Regensburg Bratwursthäusele the thumbs up. The sweet Bavarian mustard was so good, Stephen added more to his sandwich. I think if he could drink it, he would. Remember, take it "to go" and save yourself a ton of money. Just walk in to the kitchen and place your order. You can't sit down to eat, but there is a table outside the kitchen you can stand and eat. read more

The best sausage I have had on our trip, they give you two small sausages with sauerkraut and Bavarian mustard(like a sweeter honey seed mustard) in a yummy bun. The place is pretty small so you literally order and they are cooking right in front of you, I loved being able to see how they cook the sausages and know it's all made fresh. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, and they are located right on the River you can eat and be by the water! It was pretty cold out(in the 30s(f)) but we ate outside cause it was a nice day. But there is a room for eating inside also right next to the kitchen. Amazing, would definitely recommend. read more

My wife and I stopped here while on a Viking Cruise and couldn't have been more pleased. The guy in the kitchen told us it has been open for more than 850 years! It's super cute with a small room inside that has park style benches and tables. Plenty of seating outside though. Every city we've been to in Germany claims to have the best sausage but my wife and I are in agreement that this place takes the gold. We shared the 10 sausage plate. The sausages are small but packed with flavor and there are baskets of bread on each table. Be careful of how much bread you eat as they ask you at the end and charge you by piece. If you're in regensburg you have to stop and eat here. Not only is it the oldest sausage kitchen in the world it may have the best sausage in the world too! read more
It's a big tourist attraction in town and expensive to boot. I am glad I have tried it. The sausages are good and the sauerkraut is also very good. The price of €12 for 8 small sausages is a bit off for me. But then again there is no shortage of customers here so it won't matter what I think. It is historical and apparently the oldest sausage house in the world. I am sure it will survive just fine without reviews as long as they keep serving decent food ;-)) I usually go here with tourists. read more
Best sausage we had and winner of the sausage war, at least by our palate. We arrived in Regensburg via a Danube River cruise. One of the city's many attractions pointed out to us was Historische Wurstküche, one of Germany's oldest sausage makers (since 1146, though the German federal state Thüringen and Franken, part of the federal state Bavaria, are still quarreling about who really has the oldest medieval "Bratwurst" recipe*). Our cruise director, Mario, informed us of a bit of a sausage rivalry between Regensburg and Nuremberg. He said we should be sure to try both famous sausages, and let him know which one we liked best. Well sorry Bratwursthausle Nurnbürg (http://www.yelp.com/biz/bratwursthaeusle-bei-st-sebald-nuernberg), but Historische Wurstküche wins hands down. First off, we liked the firmness of the sausage. Second we loved the sweet mustard (Süsser Senf) sitting in little pots on the table. One of biggest regrets was not bringing some of this wonderful mustard home, But I've since learned it can be bought locally at the German Deli in Colleyville, TX (their website indicates that have similar sausages too, and offer shipping). At Historische Wurstküche you have three dining options : 1) Take-away, 2) Sit in the old building, 3) Sit in the new(er) building (formerly the salt depot). If the weather is nice, option 1 allows you sit outside. Actually, maybe in nicer weather there are more tables, but on our cold November visit, only a small covered area was available. Sitting in the old "Garküche auf dem Kranchen", the old kitchen that provided slow-simmered meals for the crane workers (this started around 1146). Seating is limited, and hard to spot, but it is fun to squeeze through the kitchen where the sausages are being grilled over a charcoal fire. Since the kranchen was full on our visit, we opted for the adjacent, and much larger, Salzstadel. Inside it was warm and cozy. Timbers, still white from the salt once stored here, framed the dining room. We sat drinking German beer and eating sausages (Thúy made hers into sandwiches with the bread on the table) and it was one of the top 5 meals of our two weeks in Europe. Oh, one thing about that basket of bread on the table: After visiting both Regensburg and Nuremberg, we learned that the "napkin over the breadbasket" will mean you pay for each piece you eat. You will be on the honor system to tell your server how much you ate, but I have a feeling they know already. If in Regensburg, be sure to not to miss this historical eatery. * For more on the history, see the respective websites (Bratwursthausle is only in German, but you can use a translator), or see kuechenmeyster's second post (the source of my parenthetical reference) at http://medievalcookery.blogspot.com/2010/01/medieval-hot-dog-stand.html. read more

We stopped in Regensberg last year as part of our Viking cruise-- and me, being all about meat and hopeless cholesterol levels, had to drag my mostly vegetarian wife to this medievil sausage fest. The place is small and ancient looking and if I'm not mistaken oddly shaped like a triangle. You order sausages and that's what you get- a plate of 6 or 8 lined up side by side on a bed of sauerkraut and a basket of pretzels on the table prior- say no more - just carnivore out. So good. I even got my wife to try one and she hated it - but what does she know... read more
