    So i did a little wiki'ing before I sat down for this review and i can't help but laugh at the experience. This was the FIRST meal we had in Austria. After checking in on Saturday around noon, we were starving. By the time we got to Karlsplatz station, I was willing to eat anything. Since we didn't really know anything nor the area, we found the first restaurant sign that seemed okay. Weinerwald, meaning Vienna Woods, or what I would have translated to Wiener World or Vienna World, seemed like a proper place to eat. As soon as we walked in, my boyfriend said, "man, this place looks like Denny's - I don't think we should eat here." At that moment, I was too hungry to care. My argument was, "look, if someone came to the US and they never tried Denny's or iHOP, they wouldn't really get a sense of the real american culture. So maybe we need to get a real sense of the Viennese culture." In some ways, I was neither wrong nor right.... Apparently, Wienerwald used to be a fast food chain that started in Munich, then made a spinoff casual dining restaurant in Austria, and then bankrupted because everyone thought they sold, well, weiners...their specialty is supposed to be CHICKEN, but we didnt order that, of course not. The menu had all sorts of Classic Viennese cuisine, and not knowing the place was known for chicken, we ordered "Viennese Classics". We ordered a steak, smothered with gravy, and a Viennese minced veal sausage like dish. Neither of which I now know the name. So no, we didn't order the chicken, and was confused as to why there were roosters on the door (see pic). Each dish was approximate 12EUR. Anyway, the food was no good. It was salty but bland in flavour. My boyfriend to this day, still grumbles about having had to eat there. So I think unless you're a local and want to eat some fast food chicken, you might want to avoid this place.

    Went last night. There was a notice on the door in German. Not sure why they were closed - for renovations, perhaps.

    Saw a sign for Original Weiner Schnitzel so we went in. The place was packed and looked clean so we…read morewere quite confident this was going to be a good meal. The staff members' faces were stoic, not friendly at all. It was our first meal in Vienna so we figured maybe friendliness is not the norm in Vienna. I don't know. We ordered, took a long time for the food to come, and it was mediocre at best. We asked for the check and my husband is always a generous tipper so he gave more than the 10% norm. The waitress herself said the norm was that and she thanked him in a monotone. Very underwhelming and unpleasant experience. Please, go anywhere else but here.

The venue inside was nothing special, rather indictive of the chain character of the restaurant. The waiters were ok and till here everything was fine. Later on, I felt the need to visit the rest room and on taking downstairs a terrible odour caught me as I was walking down the staircase. When I returned our food was there. Nothing special here either. I confirm what others have written about a charge of 0.9 € per sachette of mayonnese or ketchup. The worst part though came in the end. I was right in front of my boss when the waiter came in for the bill but actually I wasn't paying attention as I was searching for something on my mobile phone. Yet I sensed that there was a mini dialogue about a tip to which my boss concured despite one last conversation we had the other night about the leech tipping situation that the US is currently facing, Right after exiting the restaurant I asked my boss if the waiter had asked for a tip. He nodded positively. "And you accepted..." I added in disappointment. To my sheer surprise he said with a cutting edge like tone "NO!" "What no?" "He asked and I denied. But he went on saying that the service was not included.. so I backed in" At this point I was already feeling my blood boiling. "But why did you have to succumb? You should have said NOOO! and if he inisisted the answer would still be NO and then we should see what happens." I was in distress. We were scammed. What's worse is the fact that this virus that has taken over the US is coming straight forward into Europe and it seems there's space and time to conquer here. I definitely DISCOURAGE anyone to visit this certain place but since it's right in the middle of a touristy area fresh victims will get milked day by day. So, why would the owners even care?

The place was huge inside, bigger than expected from the outside. It was packed with people in a good way and the decor was tasteful and inviting. The wait staff were really friendly and attentive and visited just often enough to make sure we had what we needed. The food was great, and the classic schnitzel was massive but thin enough that it didn't feel overwhelming to eat. I paired it with the potato salad that included greens and both were excellent. If you're getting the schnitzel I suggest the longenberry preserve because the schnitzel itself is on the blander side.

For me the star of the show was the potato salad! The fries were awesome too! Even cold at the end of the meal they were still yummy. The schnitzel was huge and very tasty with the lingonberry sauce. But I do have to say I haven't had bad schnitzel anywhere in Austria so far, and this is probably the 5th time I've eaten it on this trip. Our server was very attentive and always kept our water glasses filled. There was a line of about 20 people waiting for a walk-in table when we arrived and left, so definitely make a reservation.

    While living in Vienna, Austria, friends and family always wanted to enjoy Schnitzel at Figlmüller…read morein Stephansplatz. However, my personal favorite restaurant for authentic Austrian cuisine is Schitzelwirt! They have an exceptional Biergarten in the front of the restaurant or inside dining if you want a more romantic setting. I recommend enjoying their traditional Wiener Schnitzel with Herb Potatoes. Aperol Spritz & local Sturm Wine pairs nicely with this meal. The service was excellent! They are able to speak English but restaurants are the best place to try using your Deutsch and the staff will be very pleased and create laughs around the table. Also, this restaurant isn't very close to an U-Bahn station so I recommend using a taxi or Uber to arrive and continue your night.

The restaurant is big with lots of seating available and prices are reasonable as well. We even saw a photo of Ed Shireen on the wall during our time there indicating that he had eaten at the restaurant before! Menus are in English and German and the staff are able to communicate in English fluently. They also have some outdoor seating as well. We both ordered the Wiener Schnitzel. Sides are separate so I ordered a salad while my partner ordered a side of fries. The salad was tart and fresh. The schnitzel portion was huge! We got 2 big pieces of schnitzel each on the plate. I tried to finish my plate as best as I could but it was difficult. The coating on the schnitzel was crispy and just the perfect thickness where the pork meat was pounded to the perfect thickness. Overall, a great place to grab some schnitzel in Vienna!
