Our waitress was fluent in English and made us feel welcome in a "so you're not from around her, but that's okay, sit here" kind of way.... Very pleasant! The beer was plentiful and ice cold, and we had the Wienerschnitzel (I know... cliché, but oh so good!), and it came out fast, hot and delicious. Also, for French Fries fans... these were thin, hot and crispy! (Not a big fan of soft fries/chips). Right near the train station for a meal before you travel, or while you're waiting to check into your hotel. We'll be back!

The atmosphere is cozy traditional. It's down a few steps from the street level and you enter a somewhat dark, candle lit dining area. The tables and seating seem to be an eclectic collection that work well together. My server was prompt and I ordered a "Jever" pilsner beer to start. She brought over an English menu and made some suggestions. I took her suggestion for "Pork medallions with button mushrooms ala creme and fried potatoes". This was three thick slices of pork tenderloin. This and the potatoes were delicious and a very generous portion. Enough for two meals, but I ate it all anyway. :) I wanted a somewhat traditional German-style meal and I believe that I got it. :) Cheers.

The bowl portion came with an entire smoked sausage and was a large portion. The rump steak was as good as it can be.

All served with fried potatoes family style.

The food was about 2 *'s and it's definitely a case of quality over quantity. I got currywurst - the curry sauce tasted bottled, and the sausage wasn't well cooked. My kids got schnitzel and they said it was "mid". Honestly I think German food kind of caps out at 4 *'s - there's only so much you can do with boiled potatoes and kraut and sausages.

That's probably the only downside for me as I am vegetarian and they lack a bit in that department but I always get the "Bauernfrühstück" without the ham. This is basically an Omelette with potatoes and pickled cucumbers on top and it taste just like I remember it from my childhood, so just for that I go there ... I am sure they even have more dishes that are vegetarian but I never tried. The most special thing will be their opening hours as their kitchen is open all night long which makes the place also popular among party people also there is a table reserved for cab drivers.

Oh! Yes, please! We know we weren't in the Bavarian region, but we were craving the Nurnberg…read moresausages we'd had once upon a time in Nuremberg. We were only in town for a few hours, but when we found out they had them we decided we would devote day's visit to Franziskaner. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They helped us work through ordering, as finding these delights on the menu can be tricky for an English speaker. Our server was an absolute delight, though, and he helped us find them and place an order with the amount we wanted (can we order 100 please?). We also ordered a sample of sausages featuring 4 different kinds. And, of course, BEER! Giant liters full. We were able to try two different kinds and they were delish. Our server was also great conversation and gave us info about other things in the area that were worth seeing, too. Let me tell you about that sausage though! We make our own at home, and we make it a point to order sausages everywhere we go. We're fans. Every single one of their sausages was drop dead delicious. Perfect textures, no graininess, delicate, with snap where it should have snap. All the flavors of each were perfection. And the Nurnbergs tasted just like the ones we'd had in Nuremberg 7 years ago. It was such a delight. P.S. their sauerkraut was the best I've had IN. MY. LIFE. The interior was perfect, too. Traditional Bavarian style, cozy wooden booths with pillows, beautiful checkered blue and white curtains. And CLEAN beautiful bathrooms!! When we visited the toilets we realized there was a whole dining area above where we'd dined, so they can accommodate some crowds for sure! I am so glad we made the effort and spent all our time that day there. They took care of us completely and I would return 100% the next time we're in Hamburg. Definitely worth it!

A little old school but I can respect it. We came in and filled the last table-the place was already so lively at 6:30 on a Sunday (Mother's Day). They have English menus and were (of course) offering an asparagus specialty menu. We went with a couple beers, a shandy, a Schnitzel, mixed fish plate and the whole fish. Everything was so delicious and we could see the singular chef working and the singular woman wait all the tables. The only thing was that the shandy was actually made on site, with sprite and beer from tap. It was an interesting flavor. Would recommend this to anyone to get Hamburg classics!

Seafood plays a big role in the cuisine of this North German city, and the Hamburger Tapas came with three toasted baguette slices, each with a different topping: smoked salmon with horseradish, pickled herring, and my favorite, North Sea crab salad in a creamy dressing. Another classic (and unique) dish of the region is known as Labskaus, made with salted beef puréed with beets, topped with a fried egg with a runny yolk, and served with sliced beets and a pickle. The puréed meat was served warm and had a distinct pink color from the beets, but was otherwise not a particularly outstanding culinary creation. The service here, while warm and friendly, was inexplicably slow, and our simple dishes took quite a long time to be prepared.

Old building with great characters and all table lite up by long candles (old style). Plus there is a long bar that you can seat and enjoys a pint or two or more. Which in my case, I did. I'm not a beer person much but I just love it here, in Europe. The aroma, the taste, the smell, even every type of beer come with different glass. They don't speak English much but they do have English menu and they are very helpful and very nice. The foods are excellent, I'm paring it with the beers therefore 4 dishes plus dessert with 4 big pints. Man, either I'm hungry or I love the vibes here that I finished them all. It's definitely a lot and so grateful that my hotel is just 10mins walk away. If you're ever in the town, check it out. So local and they do have outdoor too (during warmer and non wet days).
