They're trying to stick to the monastery beer vibe but it doesn't hit the mark in that regard. The old place was cozy and old and felt authentic, this place is new, loud and generic.

The server was very welcoming when I walked in, spoke English and provided me with an English menu, and was quick to check on me. I ordered the grilled pork shoulder. This came with green beans with bacon and grilled potatoes. I've never actually had a grilled pork shoulder. Being so used to the more fire version with the crispy skin, I really did appreciate the flavors that go into grilling it. The meat was still juicy with a bit of salt; it all paired well with the salt from the bacon and potatoes. Overall great meal with good service and easily able to wash it all down with some German beer. Just keep in mind that the place is a bit small, so you want to either get there early or head for the outdoor seating.

I took a bus there so I can't comment on the parking situation in the area. Ambiance (4/5): From the outside, Atschel looks like a homey, traditional restaurant. Which is exactly what I was looking for when it cam to my first dining experience in Germany. There's a charming inside area with wooden walls as well as a patio area in the back. I sat inside. Drinks (4/5): Frankfurt is known for apelwein or apple wine. So when in Rome...I had the apelwein spritz which adds soda and Aperol. I will say that straight up apelwein is not my jam. It's nice to try while you're in Frankfurt, but it's too bitter and vinegar-ey for me. With that being said, when you mix it in with Aperol and soda, it's pretty solid. And if you're in a group, you can get the apelwein served in large stone mugs which is pretty cool. Outside of that, they have a lot of beer, as you would expect, and pretty much everything else. Service (4.5/5): I was pleasantly surprised with how friendly and attentive the service was (which is typically not the norm in Europe). Our waitress checked on me, thanked me and said goodbye as I was leaving, and overall, did a great job. Food (4/5): Since this is a traditional German restaurant, I had to go with another Frankfurt specialty: Viener schitznel with green sauce. Schnitzel just means a thin cutlet (often pork) that is breaded. The green sauce is made from seven herbs and while it's a tad bit herb-ey for my taste, it was still interesting to try. The dish is served with fried potatoes. Filling and hearty as you would expect from a German meal. For my first meal in Germany, it was a great start to my trip.

Ordered Apfelwein which was not very good - but to be fair I'm sure there's different versions like every other type of wine. Ordered the green sauce dish - a staple of cold green sauce, eggs, potatoes. It was tasty but the eggs were ever so slightly overcooked (the grayish on the outside of the yolk) but the sauce was pretty dang good! Never checked in on me once to see how it was or if I wanted anything else. Finally I just decided to leave and even asked her for the rechnung twice! Never came, was so fed up I just left some cash on the table and walked out. I will not be back.

I was excited to try it out, but I know I'm not a big fan of potatoes and meat. We all ordered the Schnitzel, and this food was by far one of the best dishes I've had in all of Europe. I don't think I have ever eaten so much in one sitting, but it was that good. Even the potatoes were flavorful and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for some stellar German food, I would highly recommend Erbgut.

The salad was clearly old and had dried out. The beef was literally the worst beef I had ever eaten in my entire life. It did not even have the texture of beef. And absolutely no flavor! Then finally the receipt came and I was so disappointed. I could have gone to my favorite restaurant in Frankfurt and had a much better meal and experience for the same price. Just unfortunate.

Unlike most of the restaurants in this hipster neighborhood, Solzer offers traditional German fare, and we started with Handkäs' mit Musik, a chewy, mochi-like cheese dressed with vinegar and onions and served with a slice of farmer's bread. One of their signature entrees was "Solzer's Krüstchenschnitzel," a breaded pork fillet served over a slice of grilled farmer's bread, topped with a fried egg and bacon, and served with green sauce (sour cream and herbs), horseradish, and a refreshing salad (lettuce, tomato, carrots, red onion, peppers, pumpkin seeds) on the side. This was a nicely balanced plate, and the different components came together nicely from the savory, crispy schnitzel to the herbaceous, creamy green sauce and the acidic, refreshing salad. Everything of course went nicely with their apple wine, and the service was friendly and attentive too!
