Am Knipp in Aachen

The intention was to go to the Brauhaus. But it was closed on Good Friday. Am Knipp was mentioned as an alternative by an ice cream seller. Definitely no regrets! A Brauhaus is German, but Am Knipp is certainly German too. Very authentic and also not unimportant, good food and good service! I was there around 18:30, and then they still had a place for one person. People who arrived around 19:15 did not have a place without a reservation. So that is recommended.

A perfect evening where the food, service and ambience were just great. My big thanks to everyone!!! An urgent recommendation to anyone who is undecided or who doesn't know this location yet!!!

Fantastic ambience, delicious food, super nice service! Highly recommended!

This is really great. The food is top notch and the atmosphere is wonderfully authentic. This is the German dining experience you want to experience.

Super cozy restaurant in an old German atmosphere. Highly recommended. Opted for the steak and I was very surprised. Back tomorrow for the schnitzel.

I recently went to the Am Knipp restaurant and was completely impressed. As soon as I entered I was warmly greeted - the service was super friendly, attentive and really made the evening pleasant. The food was simply great: fresh, tasty and lovingly prepared. I also found the cozy atmosphere particularly nice – you immediately feel at home. All in all, a great visit that I would happily repeat!

Nice restaurant for all ages. Traditional family business. You sit at long tables. The menu is manageable, but very selected. NO fries, but unbeatable fried potatoes and a salad dressing to sink your teeth into. Good middle class, slightly higher price range, worth every cent. We'll definitely see each other again next time we visit Aachen!

Aachen can be very proud of that! What a cozy and original place. The entire team is extremely attentive and friendly at a top level. Everyone feels responsible for the guest. Even as a “foreigner” you feel completely safe. The menu is not extremely extensive, but the dishes are really freshly prepared and extremely tasty. That was really great. A real ray of hope! There is also fresh Gaffel Kölsch and good brandies. We would like to take the trip to Aachen again for this restaurant. I still have the taste in my mouth now.

Recommended place, a little expensive but good!!

Great service and traditional German food. Large portions. Staff are great. The decor is also traditional and really attractive. Family-run - do give it a visit.

Lovely, cosy local restaurant, which seems to attract a lot of the locals as well, more so than travellers, which is usually a great sign, meaning that the food is authentic. The schnitzels here were fantastic, good size, great batter and both the pepper and mushroom sauce were super flavourful, of course accompanied by some locals beers this was a real treat. Lovely staff as well!

Fantastic authentic German restaurant. Despite our poor German, the hostess fortunately continued to speak German to us. The schnitzel is amazing! The interior provides enough conversation topic for the entire evening.

Excellent traditional restaurant in Aachen. A real family owned place serving great food!

Beautiful and welcoming. You feel at home there. Everything we've eaten there so far has been delicious. The beer garden is definitely a highlight when it's warmer. I like it even better there than inside. Unfortunately, there are no photos of the food; it was eaten straight away.

Great location... good food, good selection of drinks, friendly staff... we felt very comfortable... would love to come back

Good and authentic. Friendly welcome. Impeccable service. Front room, very noisy. Back room, more pleasant.

A typical German restaurant with a great atmosphere and great food. Reservations are required, as it's almost always full.

Wie immer ein toller Abend. Alles perfekt 👌 Essen, Trinken, Bedienung, Atmosphäre mit Oecher Charme. Gerne immer wieder.

10/10 some of the best food I had on my trip to Germany

A wonderful evening with great service and delicious food. We'll be back soon!

Reservierung ueber Internet, trotzdem kein Platz bekommen, an der Tuer herauskomplimemtiert, Lokal voller Stammgaeste, Touristen offensichtlich nicht erwuenscht

I was more than impressed by the food, service and ambience. After the appetizer I couldn't stop smiling. A must-go for every fan of home-style food and if it were possible it would be more than 5*

Wir haben den Bewertungen der vergangenen Gäste vertraut und sin nicht enttäuscht worden. Es gab nichts zu meckern, super Service, wie es sich in einem Brauhaus gehört.

Probably one of the last rustic restaurants in Aachen. Service very friendly and attentive. The food tasted excellent. It was also positive that a current menu with fish dishes was offered.

Were there on Saturday after the game. Very warm, best food and great ambience. Greetings from the East. Gladly again.

Hervorragende bodenständige Küche , herzlicher und authentischer Service, gutes Preis- leistungsverhältnis - nichts zu beanstanden

We were with an illustrious group in Aachen's oldest restaurant in the evening. We were warmly welcomed, as if we had been guests there for years - we immediately felt at home! A very pleasant mix of hospitality and cosiness is on the agenda when visiting “Am Knipp”. The food was a poem! Long after the visit, I'm still raving about the soup as a starter and this incredibly tasty onion roast... the visit is rounded off by excellent service, which is nothing more than a matter of course for the employees and owners! All in all, the evening there was one of the TOP experiences in Aachen and makes you want to visit the cultural city again! We'll be back!!

Tolle Location, leckeres Essen, freundlicher Service und nach dem Essen noch ein Bier an der Theke - der perfekte Abend

We had a very nice evening there, delicious food, nice chilled drinks, nice attentive service and a good atmosphere. Would go again.

Very good, remember to book in advance!

Fantastic place to meet with friends and have a good time. I was there with my family (6 in total). When booking for such a small group ask for the Stammtisch! Food is traditional German and very well made. The place is a family business and you can feel the warmth and hospitality everywhere. Anytime again!

Nice place and atmosphere. Very German

Great food and well-kept beer and Prince Carnival René the 1st. A great evening

A successful evening. The mussels were as they should be, the beer was at a good temperature and the atmosphere was warm and informal. Great and hassle-free service. The atmosphere is like your grandmother's - so cozy.

Simply an institution in Aachen! There is hardly any need to say more. You can hardly find so much friendliness and Aachen flair anywhere else. Always a pleasure!

As always everything is perfect

A great and quaint Aachen restaurant. There were 6 of us there and the food was consistently delicious and well seasoned. The beef carpaccio is a dream. The service is super friendly, you immediately feel at home. The decor is nostalgic, there is a lot to see. We'll be back. 👍

Always a special experience, many thanks to the Ramrath family and employees. I'm already looking forward to the next visit. Greetings Carlo

Very nice atmosphere, delicious food with real German cuisine. Reservations are necessary!

Pure! What a fabulous find - we had a great evening. Thank you! Highly recommended!

Sunday is ribs night, so soft and full of flavour.

Very quaint restaurant - great ambience! Very good service, friendly and quick. The dishes are all home-style and delicious. The prices are more than fair.

Unique in Aachen. High-quality, well-kept and lively restaurant with a bar and good food.

What can I say other than I found it by chance. Very friendly, good food and really cozy. We plan to come back on our next visit. Thanks

Very nice and quaint restaurant with great service. We felt very comfortable.

Very good food in a friendly and cozy atmosphere. We will definitely go back

The food was not particularly good. The service was very bad.

Personally I didn't like it but that was my own mistake by taking something I didn't like. My boyfriend on the other hand loved it, which is why I'm giving it 5 stars! The restaurant is easily full so I recommend booking a reservation. The staff was very friendly!

Great restaurant with great food. Great staff and hospitable owners

Fui allí en un viaje de negocios y tenía el Puten Geschnetzeltes. Ni siquiera era un Geschnetzeltes, solo trozos de pavo seco. La salsa de mostaza de miel no era otra cosa que aderezo caliente de ensalada de mostaza de miel. El Bratkartoffeln estaba bien, pero no crujiente en absoluto. no bromeo, pero tengo que decir que no puedo recordar cuando tenía peor comida. La mayoría de mis compañeros tenían Schnizzel y todos estaban muy contentos, así que recomendaría si vas allí ir gor eso.

My favorite restaurant from my visit to Aachen.

Aachen trendy pub. Good home-style food and nice tap beer. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food! Friendly staff but it takes a very long time to get your food.

Cosy authentic German restaurant. Food - for Dutch standards - way too salty which is very unfortunate and unnecessary, easy to add. Great creme brulee

Super friendly staff. Delicious food, quaint restaurant. Ideal for spending a cozy evening.

Brilliant German restaurant. We visited early December and it was full but we were seated immediately and Service throughout was both friendly and efficient. Food very tasty. Good wine selection and most important Kölsch beer! If in Aachen be sure to visit but book early if you want to get in.

Excellent food and delicious beer in a great atmosphere. The visit was rounded off by the warmth of the hosts. The onion cream roast and the ribs are highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Great food, the tastiest beer in Aachen, very friendly and attentive service. In Knipp you don't miss anything. Highly recommended.

Yesterday we had dinner at Knipp with 10 people. The service, the friendliness, the speed and also the quality of the food... everything was great. As always....RESPECT

Great food, best service, nice atmosphere. What more could you want!!

The ultimate pub in Aachen. There is nothing to comment on. Go there and be lucky to get a spot.

There is very tasty home cooking here. The staff is friendly and relatively quick. Only the ambience leaves something to be desired, a bit too bright for my taste, otherwise it looks like most older inns, solid wooden furniture and very ugly walls :). So if you want to eat a well-kept schnitzel in a rustic atmosphere, you've come to the right place.

A pub/restaurant like you know from the good old days 🙏💕

Gran restaurante con buena comida, excelente y amable servicio. Un antiguo restaurante tradicional alemán con un gran bullicio. Una gran proporción de la clientela parecía local, pero nos hicieron muy bienvenidos. Bebidas en la mesa muy rápido y la comida llegó en un buen ritmo relajante. Lo haríamos la primera opción cuando volvamos a Aquisgrán. Consejo - reserve temprano!

A restaurant a little further from the city center which has apparently existed for generations, we are very well received by a family restaurant, in fact it is a whole family that manages the restaurant. The food is good without being exceptional, but the charm of the place, the friendliness meant that we had a very good time

Again and again...great...great atmosphere....

Cuisine authentique et copieuse. Intérieur type allemand et excellente ambiance. Ils vous servent des plats réconfortants et vraiment goûteux.

Was a great pick of today's restaurant. We ordered in advance because of buissiness of Christmas market, the restaurant was locaded 5 min walk from the market. Happy we booked as it was all full. The menu is small but good, looks like they make their own snitzels and they were not dry. The salad you get on the side was very tasty and i can not begin to tell how great the snails was, bit sad they were already out of the shell, but other than that full house, worth a visit!

Traditional German restaurant, food and service were excellent. All five of our group enjoyed everything about the place and would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Making a reservation is a must as even on a Thursday night the place was full for two sittings.

Super quaint pub/restaurant. Great service and great food. Will come again...

We were lucky that we cfw. We were able to reserve a table for 10-12 people at short notice (approx. 6 weeks in advance) for November 27th, 2024 (as we all know, things get difficult in the run-up to Christmas). The reservation was easy online and communication was quick and good. We wanted a table for 5:30 p.m. and the reservation was suggested to us for 2 hours because the table was then taken again. When we arrived at the Knipp, a few other guests were already waiting for the restaurant to open, which happened on time. We received a very friendly welcome and were shown to our table. The entire time we were served quickly, politely and attentively. The food was absolutely top. The starters were plentiful. The menu is short, but of course an indication of the good quality and freshness of the food - and that's how it was. The restaurant has a great (quaint) atmosphere. All in all, we had a great time and had a delicious meal. We would like to thank the hosts!

For me, Am Knipp is the restaurant that is most closely linked to Aachen. The atmosphere and hospitality is just great. The service is attentive and quick. The menu offers good home-style cuisine and there is something for everyone.

A lovely traditional German restaurant run by a very friendly family for multiple generations! Would recommend the schnitzel!

Thank you for the lovely evening

Traditional, cosy place in Aachen. Food was very good. Beer and wine selection is satisfactory. I will definetely visit this place again.

Delicious food, very friendly service

Ambiente muy agradable y te da un poco de la ''Edad Media'' vibraciones. La comida es deliciosa y el personal es muy amable. Hermosas decoraciones, grandes porciones. Tomamos el schnitzel con salsa de crema de hongos y era para morirse! Definitivamente prueba también el ''Aachener Printer Krauter - Likor''.

Very old restaurant with very good cuisine.

The go-to place for German food in Aachen for decades. Very tasty schnitzel, roast beef and sauerbraten. As a starter I recommend the lard breads. Very tasty draft beer and always attentive service. It's always best to make a reservation on weekends. The outside terrace is very nice.

Hospitality was great, the food was great Price performance is right

Wie nach Hause kommen, herzlicher Empfang, super Service, super Essen. Alles perfekt!!! Tipp: Unbedingt vorher reservieren

Great atmosphere and amazing German food. Definitely will be back.

Dear Knipp team, I would also like to give each 6 stars or more...everything just works for you! See you soon!

It was a perfect evening with very good, attentive service and very good food. We'll be back!

Sehr gemütliches kleines Restaurant mit sehr gutem Essen und sehr nettem Personal. Es gab zusätzlich zu dem Menü noch saisonale Spezialitäten (Frische holländische Muscheln). Das hat uns sehr gefallen. Sehr interessante Atmosphäre die vor allem bei unseren internationalen Kunden sehr gefallen hat. Definitiv einen Besuch wert.

The salad was well dressed, the schnitzel with fried potatoes didn't taste anything special, but the prices were hefty. I've eaten better for less money 😉 But the ambience is unique. Another real, rustic pub that you can hardly find anymore

We celebrated a birthday at Am Knipp. Things like that don't happen that often. Flexible, friendly and the food was delicious. Rightly five stars.

Goooooop service! Great food - many thanks to the loving and hard-working operators! Kind regards from Frankfurt 👋🏼

Traditional German restaurant with classic decoration that gives a great ambience. The staff was welcoming and the service impeccable, making no difference between locals and tourists. The servings were generous and the food simple but delicious. We had a delicious pumpkin cream soup and then a schnitzel which was thick, but really juicy and needed no sauce. Also a roast beef fillet cooked to perfection. By dessert we were a bit full but could no resist ordering an apple pie with vanilla ice. Just amazing…

Goed ontvangen, konden dezelfde avond nog reserveren. De bediening was zeer vlot ondanks drukte. Zeer lekkere schnitzel gegeten hier.

Truly fantastic Please reserve in advance

Very cozy restaurant where we as a group of 13 p. had a great time.

Very very nice atmosphere, kind staff but food is too expensive for what it is. We wouldn’t recommend the baked Camembert, which board is disappointingly empty and too expensive. We found the Schnitzels good but again, too expensive unfortunately!

It was, as always, a very nice, harmonious evening, with very good food and several well-tapped beers. Certainly see you soon.

Still as beautiful as it was 35 years ago when I was a student.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food and good service.

Rustic friendly harmonious. Meat in a nutshell is incredibly good!

Always nice, wonderful atmosphere and very attentive service. A real piece of history from Aachen

A visit to you is always a great experience. The food, drink and staff are simply outstanding. See you again soon and thank you 👍

The visit was abruptly ended by billing because the planned visit time had almost expired. CLUM FAREWELL!!
