So there was a May Day festival going on the two days we were in Frankfurt which was amazing…read morebecause it meant loads of outdoor street vendors, including this shop which had set up an outdoor sausage tent. I'm not sure if they always have an outdoor option, but they did the night we walked by and I'm sure glad we stopped. Now, first of all I was lured in by the smells of brats cooking, then hooked by the sight of them. Once I saw they also had beer on tap I was sold. I was a bit nervous because I literally speak no German, but I was assisted by a friendly local in line and then found out that the staff all speaks fluent English, and is actually insanely friendly. After some chatting I got what I was looking for which was a brat, some fries, and a solid German beer. Overall the brat was amazing, in part due to the homemade bun, and the beer was thirst quenching. The fries were actually really basic and nothing to write home about, but I'm landing on five stars for this place because I did not find any servers that were more friendly than the folks working at this sausage stand, and I'd absolutely recommend going back to this place if you're looking for a satisfying and affordable meal in Frankfurt.

Had a Frankfurt style bratwurst there, and was pleased with it. The location isin the…read moreLiebfrauenberg plaza, so it was a good place to get some food and rest. Since it was a nice day, decided to eat outside. Not too shabby.

Keep the metzgereis going! They're an extinct breed. This one was very busy on New Year's Eve,…read moreand my first bites of their mini Frickadellin and smoky fleischwurst told me why. It's got an upscale feel with homemade taste. Worth the bucks.

Ah what can I say about Erich Zeiss, except I would rent a space in the kitchen for a week and just…read morewake up to eat their food and go back to sleep...in which case is a little bit of how I feel eating all that meat. Very good food coma effect, especially when eating an abundant amount of meat. Good and tasty meat but not the best I've had. Erich Zeiss wurst and other meat products are tasty. If you want meat and sides, yes, herkommen. I haven't tried everything but only a few selections including their sausages, ham hock, beef with onions, various potato sides. All in all very tasty but again, not the best I have had. The ham hock is off the hook when five minutes freshly out. How I got it five minutes out? They ran out and when a couple tourist ahead of me asked for the same as I asked, the wonderful lady said five minutes, bam! fresh crisp pork skin and fat. Their Rindwurst (beef sausage) reminds me too much of Hillshire Farm Polska Kielbasa that I can get at any supermarket here in the Unites States, I figured just by looking at it but I didn't want to eat the same thing I had the nights before. Any hoot, like I said I had better German sausage elsewhere. The beef that seems to be sitting in a sauce with onions is pretty good also but not so tender. It past well for an average lunch item though. All in all, I'd say Erich Zeiss is somewhere between fast food that is somewhat commercial originating from a simple butcher style meat-serve. Not my first time and probably not my last :]

Great butcher shop, but also a good place to grab a bite to eat! :-)read more
