I visited this restaurant for a quick lunch, while passing by there.

Food was super delicious and staff lady was so friendly.

The missus found this place online and wanted to go so we did, for our last, late lunch on 30/12 before having to leave Munich.

The place is very nice and the food is good but the service left a lot to be desired.

The waitress was incredibly young and inexperienced - maybe a student Christmas job - but I didn't receive what I had ordered. I ordered beef and after a wait pork arrived. She looked flustered even though the restaurant was pretty empty. After the wait, I told her is was OK and the pork would be fine, to which she replied 'it's cheaper than the beef' as if that was conciliatory.

After we had eaten whatever meat we had been served - ordered or not - we had the bill situation.

The young waitress was back, telling me that 'sometimes foreign cards don't work with this machine'. In theory this wasn't my problem. I wanted to pay with a card. After several attempts, the machine wouldn'd accept my card and I had to pay in cash - luckily we'd been to the ATM earlier to pay for mulled wine on Karlsplatz (almost opposite) so I had just about enough cash to pay.

This wasn't cool as it meant we had no more cash for the rest of the day/our stay.

I have never heard of a card machine not accepting 'foreign' cards - if my Spanish card works in Costa Rica and elsewhere, why can't it work in Germany?

I think this is a ruse in order that people pay in cash and the owner avoids paying tax. The young waitress never once suggested asking her boss about this, and the boss didn't make himself known to us in order to resolve the problem.

Order error, plus dodgy payment procedure - don't bother going

Amazing food and very friendly service. Would highly recommend the place. It was also open on Xmas eve!

Normally the food is really nice but today the potato salad was too salty, the münchener schnitzel had no horseradish and tasted like it was defrosted.

Service people were nice but I won't be returning

Pretty much found this place by accident, went in there for some dinner and I ordered chicken with baked potato and sour cream. Chicken seems to be rare enough in Munich and was delighted with the dish. Cooked well and the sour cream was an excellent addition. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is traditional feeling. Seems to be a good place to watch the football.

This place was terrible! I would NOT recommend it. It seems like a tourist trap. The prices were reasonable, and the jolly waiter in lederhosen was very friendly and adorable, and we liked him a lot at the beginning. We ordered two traditional Bavarian dishes that we had liked very much elsewhere, but as soon as they came we realized that we had made a poor choice. One of them was quite overpriced as well. The portions were huge, and the food was not good. So much so that we even though we were hungry we only managed to finish half of our plates because of the bad taste. Too salty, not fresh, generally bad. We were very disappointed. Our bill totaled 36 euro, and when my father went to pay, the waiter typed in 44 euro into the credit card machine!! Trying blatantly to cheat us! My father was shocked and angry and made him change it, and the man acted as if it was an accident. So we left with a very bad taste in our mouths, and chastising ourselves for making a poor choice.
