Next I ordered one of their house beers and it was much better. For dinner, my wife and I had one of their schnitzels and it was just ok. Our waitress was really rushing us and she spilled a half glass our beer on one of our coats. The only thing good about this evening was the atmosphere. We loved the cellar.

We ran from a rainstorm into the arms of the Brauberger. We were led into the cellar and given two…read morebig beers to warm up with. We ordered a traditional German dish with potatoes with cheese egg and bacon, and a turkey schnitzel with croquettes. Both are heavy meals and we might have been ok with one, but ended up eating most of both. We were on a biking tour and apparently needed the calories!! Haha. The service was excellent and beer good and simple, they only had one choice! But it can be mixed with a variety of juices or sodas for other options. The place was packed with plenty of Germans, so that has to be a good sign as well.

Wonderful food and setting near the water! We really enjoyed coming here, and look forward to…read morereturning:)

I expected more for the price. The service was very attentive, but almost to a fault. Every couple minutes we were interrupted. We sat upstairs, where there are four small tables crowded together in a tiny space. All the tables were occupied and we felt very observed, aware that everyone in the tiny room could hear our every word. It was uncomfortable. Our evening ended on a particularly sour note when we asked for the check and handed over our gift certificate. A few minutes later, we were smugly informed that the gift certificate -- which we received during COVID and did not include an expiration date -- had expired and the restaurant refused to accept it. Ugh. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Schlumachers.

I had kase spaetzle and a side of brat kartoffelen (I can't ever pass up brat kartoffelen). All were very good! Why this place only 3 stars is mysterious to me. Great location right on the Trave River (it was too cold, unfortunately, to eat outside), nice ambiance inside, good food. Can't ask for more.

When I visit a town in Germany I've not visited before, I often try the 'Ratskeller' -- literally,…read morethe cellar of the town hall -- where there's nearly always (always?) a restaurant. For one thing, it's right in the town center, convenient to the town's sightseeing spots. But I've found most towns' Ratskellers are usually pretty good -- maybe not the finest restaurant in town, but definitely not the worst, and always full of local people. The Ratskeller in Luebeck is no exception. Service was welcoming and cordial (for German standards) -- food was typical for the region and quite nice. We had herring in the 'housewife's style' (served chilled with onions & sour cream), and steamed cod. Both were high quality fish, nicely prepared. Just add beer and you've got a great lunch.

If you are ever in Lubeck in summer then i highly recommend this place. A neat terrace right on the…read moreRathaus square, friendly staff and great food. I had the schnitzel and my wife had the fish. Both dishes were awesome! PS. Ask for the english menu.
