Almoço e jantar Brewery Inn Alter Kranen in Würzburg

Great food, fast service, nice atmosphere next to the old Main Bridge

Location, ambience, food (Schäufele) and the very friendly staff - all top-notch.

They have a very nice outdoor patio with views of the river. The soup was a bit salty and the portion is large. I ordered the haxn. Meat was tender and tasty but I was really looking forward to the crispy skin but it was not crispy at all. There is a parking garage underneath. After eating that big meal you can take a stroll by the river. I will be back if I am ever in the area. Indoor seating is also very elegant.

A very nice inn with excellent food. The shoulder of pork was superb, and the beer is top-notch. If you arrive early, you'll even get your beer from a wooden barrel.

We were very satisfied with the food, the service, and the ambiance. We went there twice during our stay in Würzburg. Highly recommended.

Very nice ambiance, good food too!

I give it the highest marks! Traditional and "natural," a brewery inn that deserves its name and lives up to its reputation, and wouldn't want anything less! It's been brilliantly executed and perfectly executed! I'd love to come back! 😊👍🏻

Despite a full restaurant, the service was quick, friendly and courteous.

A very good evening, excellent food, cold drinks, and 5-star service from Kathi. That's how you make gastronomy... perfect.

There were five of us. We had four dishes of knuckle of pork with dumplings in a dark beer sauce and one of spinach dumplings with vegetables. Everything was delicious. The portions were generous, and we were stuffed and happy. We haven't eaten this well and this inexpensively in a long time. The service was very polite, and the food arrived very quickly.

Excellent traditional restaurent.

Great! We had a really smart waitress who really enjoyed her job. We really enjoyed it.

Well, I rarely leave food behind, but unfortunately the Wiener Schnitzel was really badly prepared and the fries were old and everything was way too greasy.

The dining room is beautifully rustic with cranes throughout, worth seeing and cozy, and the terrace with a view of the fortress is very beautiful, with a great location. Service was excellent, with a super friendly, attentive waiter, even though the restaurant was packed that evening. Many hearty local dishes, including vegetarian options. The shoulder of pork was good, and the spinach dumplings with vegetables were good, though they could have used a bit more seasoning for my personal taste. A successful evening in a lovely restaurant.

Very good regional food and a good selection of wine and beer

Affordable, delicious, generous portions. Travel insurance is mandatory, even during the week.

Great, rustic restaurant with a large outdoor terrace and a separate beer garden. The food was absolutely delicious; for me personally, the Schäufele (sausage roll) is a must. The service is very friendly and accommodating, and the location on the Main River is very inviting.

We arrived that day after driving 900 km and we didn't have a reservation. A friend recommended the place. Although it was full and it would have been a long time to make a reservation, the coordinator was very helpful, we quickly got drinks and after 15 minutes we ordered. It is in a beautiful location, on the riverbank and under a castle.

Very unfriendly service manager, should start as a bouncer.

We would have loved to stop here. Unfortunately, the whole city is very busy, and this restaurant probably is too. However, we weren't even noticed; we were completely ignored. They could at least say hello and give some information instead of leaving customers standing stupidly at the entrance.

A fantastic brewery right on the Main River with excellent food, delicious beer, and a great atmosphere. The center of Würzburg is within walking distance. Always happy to come back!

Wonderful food, friendly service and great location.

Always beautiful, the best ambience and the best German cuisine!

Yes, I can't really judge the food as we only had a drink.

Highly recommended. The view from the beer garden is especially beautiful.

We stopped here for a break while passing through, and it was a very good decision. Very good home-cooked food with excellent value for money. Absolutely delicious food, the meat was cooked to perfection and not too dry. The service was very friendly and attentive, but not intrusive. Highly recommended!

We always enjoy coming here regularly. The food is always delicious, the beer is delicious, and the atmosphere is lovely. Especially when the terrace is open in summer. The staff is always very friendly, and they take good care of you. We feel very comfortable and always enjoy coming back!

Friendly service, very good food at fair prices. Large portions. Highly recommended.

In any case, great atmosphere, quaintly rustic and great staff.

Once again, a spontaneous perfect landing. Very good value for money, tasty food, friendly service (could be a bit more attentive, perhaps), very nice beer garden, nice interior! We had the Kranen schnitzel, the Franconian sausages with sauerkraut, a side salad (warning for allergy sufferers: contains sunflower seeds), Coke, and fruit schnapps.

Nice restaurant by the river Main. Large portions and fast service. But be sure to book a table in advance!

Delicious food, friendly service, and fair prices. Highly recommended!

A very nice restaurant with typical Franconian cuisine, plenty of space... with tables inside and outside next to the Main river. The food was good, the service very friendly and attentive, the restrooms clean, and parking is right next door in the underground garage. Everything was perfect!!! Highly recommended!!!

We were there with three adults, three children, and two dogs, and we had a wonderful time! We were assigned a suitable table outside in the beautiful weather; we were delighted to be able to sit down as a large family in such a spontaneous setting on a Saturday! The service was very attentive, prompt, and accommodating to all our requests. The food was excellent and very extensive – even for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. One of the best restaurants in Würzburg!

A lovely traditional restaurant, right on the Main River... With a lovely beer garden and good service. The food is good, but not exceptional. I would have hoped for top-quality service at these prices... Six of us went to dinner; everything went quite quickly, and overall, we were satisfied...

Very good food and beer. We sat outside in the beer garden. Excellent service. Thank you for a great evening.

The food was simply delicious and the portions were perfectly adequate. We had a lovely evening.

A lovely Franconian inn right on the banks of the Main River. We had a fantastic view of the river, received very friendly and attentive service, enjoyed delicious wine, and were very reasonably priced. We really enjoyed ourselves :)

Very fast and friendly service. The food was good. We were here with a bus of more than 40 people, and everything went very quickly. The value for money is very good. I would come back anytime. I can recommend it.

Great beer garden with a lovely terrace, friendly and fast service, and good food and beer. I especially like the fact that you can also make reservations for the outdoor area. We passed by on our way from Hamburg to Austria and had a lovely table on the terrace on a sunny Saturday in August, with no wait.

A good restaurant with a delicious vegetarian menu and great beer. Above all, the staff is really attentive. Our waitress, Hilal, was super friendly, funny, and really quick. We'd love to go back!

A really great restaurant with super great food and amazing service....really megaaaaa

Highly recommended! This is food that makes you happy.

We were booked for lunch with a bus group of 40 guests. The welcome was extremely warm and the service was friendly. Drinks and food were served promptly—all in all, simply fantastic, and certainly not our last visit!

We visit this restaurant several times a year. The regional cuisine, as well as the service and staff, are of excellent quality.

Good selection, delicious beer. Very good choice.

Very cozy beer garden and the prices are completely OK too.

Great staff, fantastic! Everything else is also DELUXE 🫶🏼

Great location, fantastic service (fast, empathetic, professional), very good food, beer glasses are filled perfectly😀

The food was typical of mass-produced food. It's okay, but the quality isn't much better than cafeteria food. Unfortunately, the service was also typical of mass-produced food, as no one was particularly friendly. The main thing is to get the guests served quickly and then leave quickly so the next guests can come. We had barely finished the main course and just barely finished dessert (everyone still had drinks and ordered correctly) when we were more or less kicked out. The beer is, of course, delicious. But that's not really the point. One of the many places that thrive on its location and tourism without having to do much for it.

Very friendly and quick staff, plus a superb location with a beautiful view, even from the beer garden. The waiters are extremely attentive, and the kitchen is also very fast. The food is fresh, plentiful (with generous portions), and good value for money. I'd be happy to come back and highly recommend it.

There weren't many shady spots in the beer garden, but it was very nice. Service was very irritable and unfriendly. The food was okay, but they needed more seasoning. The price/performance ratio was completely reasonable.

We ate here this evening. All we can say is, the food was fantastic, my goodness... super delicious, and the portions were generous and tasty. The service was quick and friendly. We'll be back, and it's not expensive at all!

Cozy atmosphere, very good food, friendly and fast service.

We actually only wanted dessert at the Alte Kranen, as the menu seemed very appealing. Unfortunately, our first attempt was disappointing: We were standing visibly in the entrance area, and four different waiters walked past us several times without even looking at us, let alone asking if they could help us. After a while, we left. The next evening, we tried again – this time, at least, we were approached directly. However, when we replied that we would like dessert, we were met with a "Yes, but hurry, the kitchen is closing soon." We were seated at an uncovered table, even though there were many covered tables available. Our request to change seats due to a cold draft was ignored – the windows were closed, but rather reluctantly. Unfortunately, there were no napkins at our table either, as it wasn't set. On the positive side, the dessert arrived very quickly and tasted really good. Nevertheless, the service on both evenings was so inattentive and uninviting that we felt unwelcome. Conclusion: Good food, but unfortunately, the service was so poor that we wouldn't return.

We really enjoyed it and enjoyed it. We arrived without a reservation, but an hour later, we were lucky enough to find a free spot on the beautiful terrace. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. The standard dishes we chose (roast pork, schnitzel) were of very good quality. The dinner was also very good. The prices were absolutely fair.

We were passing through and went to the inn for dinner which was very tasty and I can highly recommend it

Very tasty food and great beer. The service was good and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. Nice location. Good food. Very good service. Thank you.

The perfect place for anyone who wants to feel like they're on vacation—just without packing their suitcases! A rustic ambiance, a beer garden with a river view, huge portions, and German cuisine that will leave you happy and full. The beer? Simply top-notch, endless selection! 🍻 The service is surprisingly friendly, as if they genuinely enjoy their work (rare, right?). All in all: If you're not happy here, you've probably already had too much beer... 😄

Although it is a Bavarian brewery, there are many vegan and vegetarian dishes.

We went there spontaneously and luckily got a table. The food is great. The service is superb. You simply have to eat there. We'd love to come back.

Super fast service and delicious food. Accessibility is excellent here. We come regularly because we know we can get there easily with a wheelchair, and the accessible restroom is also easily accessible.

Franconia means beautiful scenery, great beer, and good food! This beer garden embodies them all. Typical dishes like crispy pork shoulder or pork knuckle are the local specialties, best washed down with excellent cold draft beer! There are also lighter options like the charcuterie board and the ever-present obazder, a thick cream cheese spread on black bread. For the health-conscious, there are also salads and soups. The atmosphere is very pleasant, with well-spaced tables both inside and outside, but it's best to book ahead to secure a spot near the river. The waiters are excellent, always available to help you choose your dishes and throughout your stay; they're attentive and never pushy. They speak a little Italian, Spanish, and always English.

Absolutely fantastic location. Even when it's packed, the service staff are on point and very friendly. The food was absolutely fantastic, and the price/performance ratio was right. A must-visit in Würzburg!

The service was unfortunately the lowest point right from the start: unfriendly, no greeting, zero attention. The children's menu was particularly absurd – it even had a special checklist (drink, main course, ice cream), but the waitress completely ignored it. After the adults' drinks, she simply said dryly, "Oh, I'm not going to look at that. You have to tell me." So why all the effort with a paper children's menu if no one cares anyway? 🙄 Positive: The portions are large, the beer sauce was excellent, and the pork knuckle was at least decent. All in all, though, it was more of an average meal – and the service, unfortunately, makes the visit not really worth recommending.

You almost get the feeling the waitresses here were forced to serve as punishment—so unfriendly, taciturn, and completely unaccommodating. No greeting, no smile, more of an aura of "I hate people." The food? Mediocre. Generous portions, though. The beer sauce, however, was a real highlight—probably the only thing made with love here. So, a thumbs up for the food, and two thumbs down for the service. The wasps just top it off.

Food was nice and service delicious

Perfect service for our special evening. Thank you!!!

Beautiful beer garden with a view of the Main River.

Great beerhall food, amazing beer and beautifully located on the side of the river.

What a fantastic place! We were on our way to Austria and were disappointed we couldn't stay longer in Würzburg to eat here more often. Beautiful location, delicious food, and the service was incredibly friendly. I'm pregnant, and they were incredibly considerate and accommodating, which is something you rarely see.

A typical Bavarian chain restaurant with a rustic ambiance on a sunny terrace overlooking the Rhine. The pork knuckles were good but not exceptional. The spaetzle and dumplings, unfortunately, weren't homemade. The Keiler beer and iced tea were very good.

I highly recommend this place! Everything is perfect here. Coordination, service, and quality...and, of course, the prices too. Thank you 😀

We sat in the lovely beer garden with a glass of wine and enjoyed the beautiful weather. It's cozy here, and the staff at the self-pickup point serve us very friendly. We, the Ruhrpott residents, really appreciate that. Keep it up! 👍

100% recommended! Very nice, cozy atmosphere. Delicious food and friendly, helpful service. I would gladly come back again.

Very good food served by friendly staff in a rustic atmosphere. Highly recommended.

My wife and I were passing through and staying at a nearby hotel. We just wanted something to eat, and then we had a 100% hit. Everything was just perfect: the weather was fantastic, the location right on the Main River, the service staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the kitchen was excellent.

Service: A-1 (the blonde young lady with the warm and sincere smile). Food: A-1 – the shoulder of pork was sensational, as were the dumplings! Value for money: Definitely okay for a WÜ. Recommended!

The location on the river is charming, with plenty of tables. Despite the rush hour, we were seated right away! The waitresses were very nice and friendly. The pork shank was good, but the sausages were floating in bland cream, not much else. The fried apples were quite good. The homemade lemonade was very good. Overall, it was a pleasant dinner.

Always great. What more can I say? 😀

Very friendly and attentive service and, of course, a fantastic ambiance on the Main River. Unfortunately, the food in this beer garden is also rather poor in quality. The dumplings are rather firm, tasting of convenience food, and the sauce is thick as pudding. The meat is tender, but nothing special. The schnitzel is relatively small, the fries are lumpy, and everything is rather poorly presented. But it's not too expensive either! The beer from the wooden keg at 5 p.m. is recommended. But you have to get there in time, otherwise it will be sold out, and they actually only have one keg a day!

The knuckle of pork was very bland and tasted almost like nothing, and the sauce had already formed a skin on the plate. The food had probably been kept warm for a while. I had to add more pepper and salt several times to be able to eat it, but there are other ways to enjoy it. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the food. The service was friendly and quick, despite the restaurant being quite busy.

Good food, but incredibly hectic, very crowded, and not particularly cozy. In, eat, out seems to be the motto here.

Superb restaurant where you can taste all the specialties of the region, it was really excellent, very good value for money, the service is fast and very friendly and in addition a magnificent view!

Beautiful ambiance, excellent, finely presented food at fair prices, and refreshing draft beer. What more could you want? Not to mention the very competent, professional service. We'll definitely be back when we're in Würzburg again.

SUPER delicious SUPER sweet SUPER full We were a mess! We received a warm welcome, were served quickly, and the portions were gigantic and truly delicious! Highly recommended ❤️

The schnitzel in the picture was delicious, the hamburger I ate was quite dry according to him. Nice staff! Our dog was warmly welcomed both inside and outside. The atmosphere would have been at least 4 stars if it weren't for all the wasps. It was swarming with wasps that became even more aggressive when the food came in. We ended up having to leave the cozy outdoor seating and sit indoors because we didn't dare open our mouths for fear of getting a wasp in. Wasp stings can be fatal if you are allergic and don't get help in time, so the restaurant should take the wasp problem seriously. If you can imagine sitting indoors, it's definitely worth a visit ☺️

We were in Würzburg on a whim and came across the Alte Kranen restaurant online. We were able to reserve a table by phone. Therefore, we definitely recommend making a reservation! The waiter arrived as soon as we got to our table. The drinks we ordered arrived in no time. The wait for the main courses was also short. The schnitzel was a pan-fried schnitzel. All the dishes tasted excellent, home-cooked, and freshly prepared. There are also several vegetarian and vegan dishes on the menu. We will definitely be back.

The beer was very good but the shoulder of pork ended in an unpleasant trip to the toilet.

We visited twice; the service was excellent once, but unfortunately a bit mixed the second time. Well-equipped for children: Highchairs were available quickly and in sufficient quantities, and there's a classic selection of (surprisingly large) children's dishes. There's also a separate changing room, children's cutlery, and coloring pages. The value for money of the dishes is absolutely fine, and the prime location on the Main River is a plus. The vegetarian selection is also impressive. The selection is in no way inferior to the meat dishes and is diverse.

Super-friendly staff. Good food, with a great view of the Main River and the castle.

Unfortunately, I can't give a good review because our group of 12 people, after we all ordered drinks, were "asked" to leave immediately. Of course, in a very crowded beer garden, people don't tend to whisper, but I've never experienced anything like that before. It's a good thing there were other restaurants nearby that were happy to welcome us as their guests.

Delicious food and the service was great :)

Great food, amazing service. I was here twice a day. The shoulder of pork was a dream. Please be careful with the boiled beef, it's a cold dish.

We were there as a birthday party – a fantastic end to a wonderful day in Würzburg. All the food was perfect, our tables were served quickly, great service, and the taste was amazing! We wished we had the dark beer sauce bottled – it was so delicious! You absolutely can't go wrong here.

Very, very tasty. Very, very friendly and competent staff. We ate with 12 people, and surprisingly, everyone was satisfied.

Very good food and very friendly staff

Great place to eat and drink a fresh beer. Incredibly nice atmosphere with a beautiful view next to the river, also polite and helpful staff.

Super fast kitchen even though the restaurant was full. Be careful with the opentable reservations and check if they are for the restaurant (inside) or Biergarden (outside).
