Made a reservation cause the website side it is usually too busy for walk-ins. Definitely glad we made a reservation. The staff was friendly and sat us right away. The food was good and the schnitzel was huge. The mulled wine was the perfect treat after a cold day of exploring Munich. The restaurant had a good atmosphere. Would've given it a 5/5 but we were seated at a tiny table and couldn't fit all our plates on the table which made it hard to eat otherwise everything else was great. read more

It was a Saturday night in December in Munich and we were famished after shopping the Christmas markets. We came across Steinheil 16 on our way back to the hotel and thank goodness we did. Upon asking for a table we learned that the restaurant was filled by reservations for the whole night. However, the servers worked their magic and were still able to accommodate us. We were seated almost immediately. Overall, the service was prompt and respectful. We each had the schnitzel plate and it was absolutely delicious! Thin, flavorful, and a HUGE portion. After days of walking through christmas markets, this was the perfect meal and size to replenish us. I highly recommend to anyone, but particularly those who have built up a massive appetite! read more

Visited Steinheil 16 in Munich as our first German meal for lunch. We were jetlagged, so we were a little out of it. When we arrived, we didn't have a reservation. So we sat with some guys who didn't mind sharing their table with us. For lunch, we requested two wienerschnitzel dishes, even though there were three of us. We saw how large the portions were, so we decided to share. A little while later, our waitress arrived with three wienerschnitzels, but we told here we only wanted two. We also requested some German beer, which was delicious. The wienerschnitzel was served breaded. The breading was crispy and tasty. The dishes were served with some salad that was't very good. We learned that if wienerschnitzel is served with sauce, it won't have breading. If it has breading, it won't have sauce. There is a German restaurant in Parma, Ohio that serves wienerschnitzel with breading and sauce. I guess it's not traditional. Anyway, the food and service were excellent! read more

We came here as walk-ins and were lucky to be able to sit at the outside tables after a 5 minute wait. Definitely get reservations as it is usually packed. We came here craving schnitzel and this place hit the spot. The schnitzel was enormous and had the right amount of crunch. It came with a fresh salad. I also got the pumpkin soup as it was cold out and I wanted to warm up. Overall, the waiters were super friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was busy and lively. Highly recommended stop in Munich! read more

Food here is ok and the portions are huge which was a positive! We ordered the pork schnitzel and the chilli bowl along with a round of lagers. Schnitzel is good and comes with a side of potatoes & salad. Chilli comes with chips (not a baguette bread like I was thinking) and was mediocre. Service however is not good. We were initially turned away because we had no reservation even though there were plenty of open tables... So we booked a reservation online on our phones outside for 15 mins away. We came back 10 mins later and she looked at some of the empty tables and said maybe... Finally we got seated at one of the empty tables. I'd suggest booking a reservation if you'd like to go here as I saw her continue to turn others away despite open seats still available. read more

My new Italian friend's German friend recommended this restaurant for classic German food. We got some schnitzel here, I enjoyed it, and I had my quintessential German food experience. I had a Radler, and the schnitzel came with a salad. The food was really good, and there was so much food. Their menu was only in German. read more

Food is great, ambiance is ok, service is not so great. I am aware that the service in most European countries is not very fast and we're totally ok and prepared for that, after all we were on vacation anyway. But, we ordered beer (came FAST), my daughter ordered a coffee and it literally took FOREVER. The waitress came by at least 3-4 times and every time she came by, we reminded her of the coffee that we haven't been served. And every single time, she puts her hand on her forehead and went to inside that we thought this time she's going to get our coffee... nope! . Not sure what's going on finally we told another waitress and she offered lemonade instead . Long story short we were like whatever, sure. So... food great, order beers or lemonade, but no coffee lol read more

Steinheil 16 - Huge portion of schnitzel - Schnitzel Near Me - Munich, BY

One of the best and largest schnitzel I've ate. The service is superb. This place is well known yet very low key and in a local neighborhood. Finally a place that brought me to where locals live and grocery stores around. read more

I don't have any issues giving this place 5 stars based on my personal experience. I walked in and was seated at a shared table immediately even with it being pretty busy. Servers were friendly enough and spoke English which helped me! I got a beer and the schnitzel with fries - huge portion size that is shareable and cheap relative to the amount of food (which included complimentary salad). read more

I had wanted to go here even before arriving in Munich ( based on location & reviews ) well , it certainly did not disappoint. I arrived late afternoon and the place was packed ! Full of a hip locals set . The host was very accommodating and gave me a high top at the bar ( I was a single afterall ) I ordered a Apperal Spritz & the quintessential pork schnitzel, unbelievable size portion of tender deliciousness. A really good choice on a museum tour day . Highly recommend! read more

Good service, affordable price, plenty of food, authentic German food.The restaurant's environment is also very good.

Really good pork snitzel. And it came with awesome fried potatoes and a salad, so it was a great deal. They also had augustiner oktoberfest, so great all around time. The snitzel is gigantic, I couldn't finish the whole thing, it's almost enough for two people. read more

Delicious delicious delicious. Nothing more to say. Also the service was great all around. From the drink service to the waiters helping out. read more

Great Schnitzel for good price. Very slow service even when it's not busy. Waiter takes very long time to come to ur table.

I have been to Steinheil 16 three times in the past year and it has been consistently delicious each time. Although they have an extensive menu, I have only ever tried the Käsespätzle and Schnitzel because not only are they absolutely delicious, but they are extremely large portions for a great price. Definitely more than enough for two people to share. Also, the servers are very nice and speak perfect English. It's definitely a good idea to make a reservation if you plan to go for dinner, as there was a line outside the door when I initially went in December. Making a reservation was super easy since you can make them online through OpenTable. read more

This is ridiculously good wienerschnitzel. To be honest, I don't remember much of this visit, as it was after a full day at Oktoberfest. But my pictures told the story. The beer was flowing and the schnitzel was crispy. This is a Munich must! read more

Steinheil 16 - Just look at this golden fried goodness. Wow. - Schnitzel Near Me - Munich, BY

The place for a good schnitzel! I tried the schweinschnitzel (which is cheaper than the wienerschnitzel) and it was really tasty (and large)! Worth a visit for schnitzel and beer! read more

Last night in Munich. Not a bad choice for food. Portions are downright generous here and the price is quite inexpensive. Order one plate for every two people or you'll have some serious trouble finishing. Also, a reservation helps. We snuck in early as a party of 4 before a table that was arriving at 7:30pm. What to get: spaetzle and schnitzel. The curry wurst was OK, but it tasted (for an American) just like a hot dog in a bed of ketchup with curry powder. Good, but kind of wished I was eating something more unique. read more

I went by the online recommendations on this place and they are no lie. The food here is great and it's in a very nice place in Munich. I came with my kids and not giving it all 5 stars because it isn't kid friendly and the wait times are long. They don't take reservations past 2:30 pm on Sundays, but they are open! Which isn't common in Germany. I overall recommend this place and will come again, sans the kids. read more

After reading every Yelper's review of this place, I decided that I was going to end a month-long voyage of sampling the best schnitzel in Austria and Germany here. Unfortunately, I think I could have found many better places to provide me a send-off than Steinheil 16. To start, the only waitress at the time of my arrival was clearing a table and told me to sit anywhere I liked. The restaurant was fairly empty, with maybe 6 other tables seated and working through various stages of their meals, so I took a back corner whereupon she came back and left me the menus - and left me alone. After minutes of peering around and looking for her, the bartender noticed me and kindly came around to take both my food and drink order. Unfortunately, as I'm not a fan of pumpkin soup and they couldn't do the chili in a half-portion as a starter soup, I went with the schnitzel, a starter salad, and a beer. My waitress finally came back over and asked if I was ready, and seemed surprised that I'd already been looked after. The starter salad was okay, although somewhat heavy on the creamy dressing. The schnitzel itself was the let-down. Not really all that large (give Cafe Einstein Stammhaus in Berlin or Zu den drei Hacken in Vienna a look), and dry enough that I needed to ask for additional lemon just to give it some flavour. Worse off were the roasted potatoes, which had obviously been sitting out for so long that they were cold, and only the ones underneath the schnitzel were warmed by the radiated heat of the meat. It was getting late, my waitress hadn't bothered to come check up on me to see if I needed another beer or the meal was okay, I was tired from 4500km of driving, and I wasn't about to argue the point, so I tucked in to it. Feeling vaguely let down by the meal, I looked to the dessert menu to see if there was anything to salvage it. With the chill of winter approaching, I figured a hot chocolate with rum and their homemade tiramisu would set me to rights, and they absolutely did. The hot chocolate arrived quickly in a massive cup that was nearer to a fishbowl in capacity, and the rum complemented the cacao perfectly. Unfortunately, the tiramisu took quite a bit longer, and as I'd heard shouting from the kitchen when my dessert order was taken I'm going to have to assume it had already been packed away for the night. Still, when it did arrive it was a fantastic example of tiramisu - rich, creamy, deep, and a surprisingly large portion. When I finally asked for the bill I was informed that the card machine wasn't working. Then I was informed that it was working, but that it didn't provide print-outs. I agreed, only to find that the card machine was providing print-outs for me to sign, but not for me to take a copy with me so I took a photo of the bill as proof and was on my way. All told, while the price was fair, I think that the quality of the main course left a lot to be desired and was probably more in line with what I would have expected to find at a highway-stop grill than in the heart of München. The rum hot chocolate and tiramisu are not to be missed, but maybe consider this for a dessert stop rather than your actual meal. read more

This is a great stop in Munich for trying out one of the most traditional of German foods--Schnitzel! I made a really noob mistake and got one order of schnitzel for myself...bad idea. You get two pieces of schnitzel the size of your head on top of a healthy helping of potatoes or fries, PLUS a small bowl of salad on the side. If you are not the guy from Epic Mealtime, you are not finishing this in one sitting on your own. The space is nice and service is friendly (and English-friendly) and they serve Augustiner beer like every other place in Munich. If you're looking for wiener schnitzel this may not be your place, but they do a great pork schnitzel. Super crispy and thin, and the potatoes are great, too. read more

Our group came on a Saturday night at around 10pm and it was semi-full but we were able to get a table for four. The food was average, but pretty good nonetheless. Really great environment and really quick service. It is kind of a hike to get there from Marienplatz where we were staying, but it was a nice walk to get there and explore some of outer Munich. read more

This is the place for a schnitzel so big that it hangs off the edge your plate. No joke. This place is on my regular rotation for something casual, affordable and filling. The schnitzel seems to be the thing to get. Almost every table has a platter, but if you're not that hungry for a huge heap fried meat and potatoes, they have salads, daily specials and other options. Eat a salad the day before and come here for a crisp, thin schnitzel served up with sliced potatoes or fries and wash it all down with a weiß beer. There are always people here in this local restaurant so come early if you come with a few other people. read more

We went out of our way to try the schnitzel here! It was recommended by a local, so we decide to go on an adventure and look for it. The schnitzel was good, but not great. Sorta tasted like country fried chicken w/o the gravy and thinner. If you have a party of 3, I suggest ordering 2; Like what most have said on yelp, the "schnitzel will be bigger than your head!" read more

Incredible schnitzel. Worth going! Beware: restaurant is very hot with no AC so make sure you a table outside. Also, schnitzel portions are enormous so share if you're not too hungry! Otherwise the rude waitstaff will shame you for not finishing your portion. read more

I suggest first timer to order one set first and decide if you wanna share after looking at the portion. Comes with fries (or wedges) and salat. The portion is way too big to finish alone. :) The schnitzel is a little dry to my liking. Overall for the portion, the price is well worth :) read more

It's hard to find vegetarian schnitzel in Germany so I was super excited to come across this place! The portion was huge, texture seemed soy based and chewy and it was nice and crispy. There are tons of other options on the menu and the service is great! read more

The service is great and price very fair. The waiter and waitress treated us well and explained what they had because we don't speak German. We ordered two meat meals and the volume is just huge for our Asian appetites. My friend loves her fries and said it's the best one she ever had. The pork steak is good, but not surprisingly good. The turkey steak is yummy, and I love the sauce with the potato. Overall the taste is good but no to the extent of amazing. Nice service, though. read more

The Steinheil is a rustic but cozy place and a long-time favourite for students from the nearby university. It is famous for it's large and good Schnitzel but also offers a variety of decent food. Prices are moderate and it's always crowded, so if you plan to eat with more than 2 people make sure you reserve a table by phone beforehand. If you are a visitor to Munich and want to check out a genuine local Wirtschaft, forget the Hofbräuhaus, come here. The beer is just as good. :-) read more

Have been here 20 years ago, and I don't think they changed a thing. Cheap, huge, bland Schnitzels with deep fried potatoes and salads drenched in rich, bland dressings. Bonus: you will walk out smelling like a deep fried Schnitzel with beer, too. 2** for the food, 1* extra for consistency and pricing... read more

Ahh Steinheil 16 This place is outrageously good for so many reasons. First and foremost is the fact that the staff is super pleasant, which sadly is kind of a rare thing in Munich. The second reason...that schnitzel . Holly hell, do yourself a favor and split one order with a friend. I have never seen such a big piece of fried meet served up as an individual portion. Could I have put down a whole one by myself? Absolutely. would it have impaired my ability to continue consuming beer for the rest of the night? Better believe it. Something of note in this place is the wines they offer up. Go for the Local (read: cheap) glasses, you wont be disappointed at all; the white in particular was quite good with the schnitzel, especially when doused in lemon (do this). The beer selection is quite good, and not overly expensive , though you won't find full liters on offer here- a good thing when you think about how much food you'll be consuming while sitting at the sharable tables. I didn't get a chance to try anything else at this place, as both times I came it was for the fried amazingness (if you come here once, my money is on you coming back before you leave). all that said, the chili looked quite good, if I had time (and a second stomach) I'd probably give it a shot. A guy can dream right? read more

Steinheil 16 - For the love of God, split one order - Schnitzel Near Me - Munich, BY

This was one of my favorite places to eat in Munich. All I ask for is an expertly fried hunk of meat and they certainly did the job. We visited this restuarant twice during our Munich adventures. The first time was on a weeknight around 9pm. It was busy but not overflowing. We were able to get a seat inside at the end of one large table (sharing with just one other couple). Our servers were adorable and very sweet to us the entire time. We ordered a few beers then ordered the largest schnitzel I've ever had the pleasure of eating. It was served with an abundance of fries so we easily were able to share between the two of us. Like I mentioned earlier, it was deliciously fried and tasty to boot. A little drizzle of lemon on top and you are good to go. If we ended up staying, we would have tried something later on but it seemed like the place was slowing down around 1030 so we left for another beerhall. We had enjoyed the meal so much that we decided to head back for our last evening in Munich, which happened to be a friday. We decided to get there a bit early so we didn't interupt any reservations but we ended up sitting at the bar anyway because a few were planned to arrive within an hour. I ordered wine this time around (I will not lie, I was starting to get sick of beer by this point). We had ordered with a server who clearly did not like us being there. She plopped our drinks down without a word. We ordered the same dish to share and she placed it next to us without even mentioning that it would be there. Thankfully a sweet young guy was behind the bar by this point and began to serve our refills as well as provide us with a second plate to share our meal. I hope that woman was just having a rough night and didn't treat all of her foreign guests that way. Either way the food was exceptional both nights and the space itself was not super packed, but definitely busy. I loved the schnitzel and because we split the food, the bill was quite low. I would definitely suggest trying this place out if you are in the neighborhood! read more

Steinheil use to be my go-to place for schnitzel. That was a few years ago though. I went back last night and can honestly say that nothing has changed - great schnitzel, full house, good beer and friendly service! I of course got the HUGE schnitzel with potatoes and savored every bite. I love how thin they get the meat and am sure my leftover half will taste great tonight too. Good food at a good price with big portions. Just make sure to reserve ahead if you don't want to be one of the people standing at the door waiting / hoping for someone to leave. read more

Yes, the schnitzel will be bigger than your head and hang off your plate. Yes, it will be much tastier (and cheaper) than any food that you'd find at a more central, touristy-locale. No, you will not regret your decision to come here, and you'll leave absolutely stuffed! Whenever I hear of someone planning to visit Munich, I make sure to tell them to look this place up. Best schnitzel (and restaurant service) in Munich. read more

Schnitzel.....the size of your plate, but bigger! Plus plenty of other options! This place is a WIN! The schnitzel is not only large, it is also pounded to a perfect thinness, breaded lovingly and fried to golden, crispy, deliciousness, served with either french fries or home fries and a side salad. My meal plus one beer (Augustiner is served here, but they also have a full bar) was €14.00 including tip. It is easy to get to as it is very close to the Theresienstrasse stop on the U2 line. read more
