The only caution is that if you're planning to go for dinner on a warm evening, this place has no AC and gets quite hot.

The pork was excellent, the sauce had just the right abound of pepper, and the potatoes were perfectly done and not at all oily. As a note, space inside is a bit limited, so making a reservation is recommended.

But usually at the end you have a good time. They have a very diverse wine list, and it's one of the best flamekuchen (pizza on very thin bread) places in town. The owners are very personable and friendly. I highly recommend this place. They take all major credit cards (which is kinda rare in this town).

Ok- so - when in Mainz I wanted to get a "wine-based" restaurant in Germany - I googled wine…read moretasting restaurants -and this restaurant showed up. Well I went and it failed in almost every way. Where do I start.... Walked in and the seats were all booked out. I have NO problem with this.... But they led us to one table that was for diners who did not have reservations. Ok - it was inside, it was hot, but shame on me for not pre-booking.... That is on me! So - thinking we were going to get some good wine advice- after all - it was listed as a wine tasting place.. we picked some food items - and asked for advice... well - no real advice at all...actually nothing. Ordered some food. It came out with the wine that was arbitrarily selected. Ate it, drank it. Whatever.... Then the other server came over.... Asked what we else wee would like.... She pretty much said - I don't drink so I don't know - don't ask me. On this I am thinking - why the hell should she ever serve in a Weinstube. She took an order - and what do you know - NOTHING! Nothing ever came - nothing ever said.... Nothing. So crappy wine advice.... The second server never showed up and clearly did not give a damn about service. After 30 minutes of waiting for the dessert we ordered not showing- we threw in the towel. SO - WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

The spring salad was amazing with terrific greens and herbs. Portions were not huge and overwhelming, thank goodness. We were guided in wine selection by a very helpful and knowledgeable staff member. Seating is outside or indoors. It is an altogether pleasant place in a yurt neighborhood. Yet it is convenient to the train station. Very high marks.

VISITED FOR LUNCH AND LIKED IT ============================…read more My husband and I looked for a German restaurant for lunch on Friday, April 10, 2026 after searching for German restaurants with good reviews. It is definitely very rustic and the service may be very slow even when not busy, but the food was good.

I love this place! The decor is totally awesome, bringing you back to Germany's yesteryear. One…read moreof their specialties is their schweinhaxe (pork knuckle) served with a side of potatoes and sauerkraut. German food is, of course, heavy with carbs and meat -- and most of all, pair this massive piece of pork with beer...and you're absolutely in heaven! They have a fairly large selection of beer from Pils, Radler, Weizens... as well as my favorite COLABIER (Germans *LOVE* mixing cola with beer). They also have a fairly extensive wine list too -- including APFELWEIN (made out of apples) which is well-known in neighboring HESSE (Frankfurt) region... and lots of soft-drinks too (including, Germany's [and MY] favorite, apfelschorle)! There is definitely lots to eat here and lots to drink here at a reasonable price. I've only had schweinhaxe once and it was pretty darn good here. The pork skin was nice and crispy--reminiscent of Chinese-styled roasted pork, and the pork meat underneath was tender and juicy. Delish! Potatoes and sauerkraut are pretty much standard, like at any other German restaurant. This restaurant isn't unique--as there are many other Augustinerkellers all around Germany, but the one in Mainz, as I was told, was modeled after the famous one in Munich. When I return to Mainz again, if I ever do, I will have to come back here for their schweinhaxe. Just the thought of fried pork knuckle gives me a warm feeling in my tummy. :) And by the way, the waitstaff here speaks English. A lot of times, Germans don't speak very good English, but here--they speak it pretty well. So non-English speakers...you won't have a problem :)
