Ammergauer Maxbräu in Oberammergau

We love this place, everything is always delicious 👌

A great beer and the best food! On the terrace, in the autumn sun... - a dream!

Breaded pork knuckle was not good. Beneath the breading was a mushy rind of bacon. Unfortunately the pepper sauce wasn't to my taste either I immediately regretted my order. Long wait for food to arrive.

Tasty, normal prices, atmospheric place, speak English.

The most beautiful restaurant in the village, with the most delicious food! Definitely try the shank! Value for money portions. I highly recommend it!

Great restaurant, good beer and great service with friendly staff

Food was good, but there was a 1 hour wait after we ordered, and then not even all 3 dishes at the same time. Since the food was a long time coming, we had already drunk the wine we had ordered and then ordered someone else as the food came, which we then received after the meal!

Very tasty food, great ambience and if you come with three or four people, be sure to order their Kaiserschmarrn right at the beginning/before the main course, as it is freshly made and takes about 30 minutes. It's definitely worth the wait, it tasted sensational! Attention: their pork knuckle is for the very hungry!

Very, very good food in a very nice atmosphere with a super charming and nice service team. The price is high but the overall package was right for us. And the beer is highly recommended.

Good food. Of course a little more expensive, but it's worth it. We love being there, the children's playground is above the street, wonderful :-).

The pulled pork berger is the best berger I had in Oberammergau!!!

We only stopped by for beers, and they were pretty good! They brew their own, and the quality was decent. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the mood to try some local brews. With food for me limited options were there as pretty much everything was with pork. Service was good and staff were friendly!

The food and beer are good but the service is just terrible. Some of the weitresses think they are doing you a favour by serving you. They have been pretending that their terminal does not work for roughly two months now. They love to receive payments in cash but they never issue a receipt. It is simply shameful. They should know that customers are not stupid and if they exist is thanks to the people who still have the patience to visit them. Finally, stop asking for tips. Trust me, you absolutely don't deserve them. Learn how to respect your customers.

As much as I liked the beer and some food for the past two years, the level of service is just dramatic. Too much self confidence, waitresses behave as if they approved you as customer. Nice restaurant with great legacy from past ownership but present management is not up to that reputation. They pretend their terminal doesn't work, without earlier information you are confronted with necessity to make ATM trip to pay for your meal. What is even more arrogant is thay waitress gives herself tips without even bothering to ask. But the beer is still good. Not good enough to revisit though. I stopped recommending it to my Friends. I am truly sorry to see such decline. Looks they don't like loyal guests and just don't want you back. Sadly such attitude is growing more common in Bavara

Guests from Bavaria Travel Group from Kazakhstan visit “Ammergauer Maxbräu” An absolutely recommended restaurant. Food was very tasty, very nicely prepared. Very nice atmosphere Warm greetings from guests and Bavaria Travel Group!

The food was incredibly good and the location with a view of the mountains was very nice. The waitresses were just a little stressed, but always with a friendly smile.

We would have to wait 1 1/2 hours for our food. I had a vegetarian tarte flambée. But you couldn't actually call it tarte flambée, more like onion and rocket cake. There were way too many onions and arugula on it.

Highly recommended, delicious craft beer is offered here. The prices for the food are a little higher, but you also get top-quality food that tastes great and won't leave anyone hungry. My personal price/performance tip are the cheese spaetzle or the pulled pork burger. Anyone who is in town and appreciates good beer/food should not avoid a visit here. But be careful - card payment was always "not available today" during my visits over two weeks - so only cash seems to be the real deal here 😉

The Maxbräu has a beautiful beer garden, the service is attentive and friendly! The beer tastes good and has a slightly fruity taste! It's smooth and easy to drink. In my opinion the price for a beer was totally appropriate and fair! Unfortunately no card payment was possible! I'd love to come back!

The food simply tastes great. The Kaiserschmarrn is really awesome. The Maxbräu beer tastes very good, I always take a bottle home with me :)

Great food in a very nice atmosphere, super friendly, attentive staff, always very happy and definitely recommended

Rustic brewery with a fine menu. We ate one of the best knuckles we've ever had there. There is house beer. The varieties fall outside the usual Bavarian framework. Definitely a tip for craft beer fans.

A great restaurant with an absolute feel-good factor. I ate the best roast pork ever there. Thank you! 🫶

The ambience and service are great. The food, unfortunately, without words. Wiener schnitzel and pepper knuckle not recommended. Unfortunately a failure.

We were visiting this beautiful town and found this place by chance. We ate in the garden, pleasant atmosphere. The food was good. We ordered typical pork with potatoes and a burger with pulled pork. We found the prices consistent with the quality. The service was correct, but in Europe we are not used to having tips suggested.

Top waiters, top chefs - that's how gastronomy works

We just ordered something to drink and were really impressed by the hospitality there. Thank you, we'd love to come back here.

Really good beer garden and extremely good beer. Great service. Any time

We ate excellently, especially the strudel, one of the best ever. A beautiful storm was raging outside and we were enjoying our hot and tasty dishes. We also wanted to go back for the last evening of the holidays, but we weren't able to and so we are left with the desire and desire to return to Oberammergau!

If there had been 10 stars we would have given them, beautiful place found by chance after visiting Linderhof Castle. Excellent and plentiful quality of food accompanied by excellent beer, various quality dishes also for vegetarians, kind and knowledgeable staff who speak several languages, last but not least an excellent espresso, bill in line with the quality received. Absolutely recommended.

After our second visit to this wonderful place, there are only positive things to report. The location in the quiet village is wonderful for unwinding. The house-brewed Kellerbier is fantastic. I've tried many different ones and only a few are as tasty and fruity. The dishes (baked knuckle with pepper sauce, sauerkraut and dumplings / pulled pork burger / Bavarian cream with raspberry sorbet and local fruits) were really at a top level. The service is always there when you need it and not too present that it could become annoying. You are warmly welcomed and can also chat briefly about regional dishes if it is not too crowded. To the ambience. The beer garden is manageable, but offers plenty of seating, but you can still always be on your own. The interior is open to the outside and is very inviting. Very clean, pleasantly lit and the brewing kettles right next to the entrance make a great impression. The facade is an absolute dream and you can hardly walk past without at least taking a look. I can't say anything about the hotel or the sanitary facilities, but I would be very surprised if they weren't perfect. Absolute recommendation from me! As a North Rhine-Westphalia resident, I only know such levels at significantly higher prices.

Contemporary spin + classics. Food was fantastic. The restaurant is decorated very well. Service was quick and responsive.

Waren heute spontan zum Mittagessen dort. Wir haben sofort einen schönen kleinen Tisch für 2 Personen zugewiesen bekommen. Das Essen war mega lecker. Die besten Käsespätzle seit langem. Zum Nachtisch haben wir uns den Kaiserschmarren gegönnt, der wirklich was Besonderes ist und einfach nur göttlich geschmeckt hat. Der Service war super nett und zuvorkommend. Ich kann die schlechten Kritiken nicht nachvollziehen- wir kommen in jedem Fall wieder.

Great ambience and a very good, oven-fresh roast.

Beautiful hotel with a very good restaurant, friendly service and a nice atmosphere in the middle of Oberammergau!

Very nice biergarten, atmosphere and food excellent.

The knuckle was very tasty but very fatty, hence 4 out of 5, ambience and service 5 out of 5! Prices... well, knuckle 22,- is OK, but schnitzel over 30,-... well... we would come back!

The two of us were there on August 14, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. and had the following: 1. Ettaler mountain cheese spaetzle fried onions / gardener's salad => It was good and the salad with dressing was very fresh 2. Crispy baked “Maxbräu” pepper knuckle pepper cream sauce / sauerkraut / potato dumplings => The knuckle was crispy but had a very bland taste and the pepper sauce had nothing to do with a room sauce. The potato dumplings are the cheapest wholesaler quality Summary of the knuckle: unimaginative, tasteless, poor in taste, neutral in taste, sober, stale, unsalted, unseasoned... Grade 5- In comparison...here in Franconia I get a beer knuckle with dumpling and sauerkraut for 17 euros and eating it puts me in a really good mood! 3. Kellerbier naturally cloudy... phew, I had imagined a darker beer and not a light, fruity-tasting cloudy beer with a bitter finish. Kellerbier actually impresses with its unmistakable amber-like color. Brewed particularly originally, the naturally cloudy cellar beer is mild and balanced in taste. Anyone who has ever been to Franconia and the greater Bamberg area knows what a Kellerbier should be like... Service was very friendly. ... the atmosphere of the rooms is great. The reservation was time-consuming because the answering machine kept going off. Finally, I have to say that it was difficult to find the entrance to the restaurant next to the hotel. It wasn't clearly visible. I then asked the receptionist at the hotel. The young woman gave the impression that she didn't know exactly where the entrance was either. Unfortunately, she didn't describe the route clearly, which was also wrong. It wasn't until we were halfway around the hotel that an employee who was taking a break spotted us. He accompanied us to the correct entrance. He knows what service means, unfortunately the woman at the reception doesn't...I spoke to her about the poor service immediately after the meal and explained to her clearly what I thought of her directions/service and what I actually expect as a customer! Once you can enjoy the food and the beer... the man/woman will be full... but nothing more.

Nice posh hotel with a restaurant in Bavaria atmosphere, waitresses wear traditional Bavarian clothes.since we arrived we were served within 10 minutes,we just asked for traditional bavaria food and home made beer.Food was a little bit fat...but tasty. Service was very quick and the waitress was very helpful and spoke very well English.

If you REALLY want to eat good traditional Bavarian cuisine, this is the place to come!

Food good service and service underground

Rustic and pretty much exactly what you imagine in Bavaria if you want rustic food. Staff with a broad range of Bavarian and Bavarian language are friendly and quick. Crusty roast was quite dry, too dry. Dumplings and sauce are a dream, burgers too. Unfortunately, there were leftovers of food lying around our table for no apparent reason and were not disposed of

Malgré un a priori favorable, nous n'avons pas pu apprécier le repas car notre table en terrasse a été envahie par les guêpes dans l'indifférence totale d'un serveur particulièrement hostile et agressif. A notre demande de changer de table, il a répondu qu'il faut aller diner ailleurs en nous intimant de payer vite et de libérer les lieux. Ce comportement est indigne d'un restaurant de ce standing.

In my opinion, the male waitress with the white glasses deliberately entered €10 too much into the EC card machine. After I pointed him out, he acted completely surprised. But he knew immediately what I was talking about. We probably didn't generate enough sales because of our table water and vegetarian dishes. That doesn't work at all! ;) The food was ok…

The best schnitzel in the whole Werdenfelserland

Not good service!!! We hadn't made a reservation and were therefore probably not even noticed by the service staff. After 20 minutes of waiting without any interest from the waiters, we sat down at an unreserved table in the beer garden. After another 20 minutes, of course, no waiter came and when we asked, we were treated so unfriendly by Kellern with a bracelet on his arm and white hair because we sat down at a table without asking. The tone was anything but appropriate. We were then moved from one seat to another and informed that it could take up to an hour until we were served because everything was full (the beer garden was 20% full). The aggression and the tone of voice have no place in gastronomy.

Nice to enjoy the food outside. Good selection of dishes. The food was good, many people really enjoyed it. But the burger was not recommended. Staff nice. Gladly again next time

Great atmosphere. Very nice service, great food and home-brewed beer. Again any time :-)

I like the overall concept of Maxbräu! Top food & top staff and the location is so modern and traditional! Simply perfect

Super delicious food 😋 Ambience very nice 👌 Service very friendly and on point Anytime again 😁

Fantastic!! Dont think twice and just stop for a bite and homemade beer!

Great restaurant with home-brewed beer and delicious food, top recommendation is the Kaiserschmarrn, a must try!

Very friendly atmosphere, great service, the food was very good and as recommended we ordered the Kaiserschmarrn, it was great but you can't do it alone

There were five of us there, but only one wanted a beer, so we ordered that, a short time later another waiter came and said five people who were "blocking" the table couldn't order a beer and we had to leave. Over half of the tables were unoccupied, so we felt completely ripped off. In other words, service is non-existent.

We ate there twice during our vacation. The vegetarian dishes (large salad plate and cheese spaetzle) were very good The breaded pork knuckle was good, the crusty roast was very good. The shandy was also very, very tasty. The service was very friendly and responded to additional requests without any problems. You can always go back there!

Nice service and nice atmosphere. The table we sat at was a bit small for two people. The food tasted good and the size of the portions was particularly good and actually filled you up. After the special kind of Kaiserschmarrn we were fuller than we had been for a long time. The Kaiserschmarrn can almost be served as a main course by two people.

Sehr gute Schweinshaxe, Panade ungewürzt vermutlich ein gut und günstig Produkt, Pfeffersauce aus dem Beutel. Knödel ebenfalls ein Fertigprodukt. Guter Wein. 2 dl kosten auf der Karte 9.40 Euro, macht für die 0,75 l Flasche 42 Euro. Leider nicht ganz korrekt, wenigstens mathematisch.

Super nice staff, delicious food, nice ambience: it just fits! Then a cellar beer...so delicious 😋

Very good food, cozy atmosphere...great staff, we were completely satisfied...price/performance ratio

Friendly staff. Great veggie burger. Top class.

Amazing experience ! Great food, the beer and the liquör selection is on point !!

Very good taste. A real Wiener Schnitzel made of veal. Very good potato salad with cucumber. Wheat beer made on site. Everything at a very high level. I recommend!

When we arrived we were immediately greeted in a friendly manner. The drinks and food were prepared very quickly. I have never tasted such a delicious pulled pork burger! I definitely recommend the restaurant!!!

We were guests for lunch. The tarte flambée was very tasty and the service was very friendly. Highly Recommended!

Very nice nostalgic place. We were here on our way through and can only be recommended.

On y a mangé un soir en terrasse, ambiance très agréable. Les plats copieux (jarret de porc pané et burger de pulled pork) nous ont bien plu. Excellence bière maison.

Wir waren am 13.07.24 hier zu Zweit mit unserem Hund essen. Wenn man einen Tag vorher reserviert und man nicht in 20 Minuten abgespeist werden will, dann ist man hier exakt richtig. Tolles Ambiente, sehr gutes Entrecote und Pfefferhaxe, die Bedienung super auf Zack, anständige Hunde sind hier auch sehr willkommen. Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Vielen Dank dafür an das Team Tipp: Der Kaiserschmarrn als Nachtisch ist für mindestens 3-4 Personen, die Portion war Monströs. Als Hauptspeise passt er für 2 Personen perfekt.

Excellent, mouth-watering Bavarian cuisine

A must visit for Oberammergau: Best beer in town and decent food, which is classically Bavarian. You do have to pay a little more for this than some of towns restaurants - but worth it). Service really friendly but it is always busy. Worth booking in advance if a bigger group.

This restaurant definitely deserves all the stars! Regional cuisine, friendly and funny staff. We just needed to go here more times during our stay! They are also open on Sunday afternoon.😉

We were there for dinner! The food there is really outstanding! We can really recommend everyone to eat there! There's really nothing wrong with it.

The food was fantastic, especially the cheese spaetzle and apple strudel for dessert. The staff was very friendly, it's definitely a place to recommend.

Rustically furnished hotel restaurant in brewery style. We immediately felt at home. The food wasn't exactly cheap, but it tasted great. I've never eaten Kaiserschmarrn like this before! The two home-brewed beers were tasty and quite different in character. Service was friendly, but sometimes felt a bit overwhelmed when the hut was full.

Absolute insider tip, Real Bavarian cuisine, good cellar beer. Prices are also great. I will definitely plan a break here again the next time I visit the area. P.s. Hotel staff also very welcoming, In case of heavy rain we were able to rent umbrellas.

Eigentlich sehr kompetentes und nettes Service Personal. Leider aber viel zu wenig Personal , man wartet auf alles ewig . Steaks waren leider alle komplett durchgebraten .

Two people, Evening. I asked a table far from the open window and they put us in a table between the open door and the open window just in the middle of a breeze… are you kidding? The baked pork shank was good and also the apple strudel. However 37 € is too high for this meal and the service was slow.

Really tasty, regional food, good beer, would return. However, it was, probably too busy evening, but the service level was poor - while they acted nice, they were short of team to provide service in time and quality. Food came late, not together.

Very friendly. Well maintained rooms. Very good roast pork, with home-brewed beer.top

My highlight in Oberammergau - highly recommended! The pulled pork burger was amazing and the beer is highly recommended. Friendly service - they take great care of the guests. Great ambience.

My absolute favorite beer! Very friendly and attentive service, delicious dishes.

Nice restaurant, delicious homemade beer, even better food.

My family and I wanted to have a little something to eat outside in the beer garden at Ammergauer Maxbräu on Sunday evening. The beer garden was very manageable and not all tables were occupied. Several waiters walked past our table. We were neither greeted nor given a menu at all. After 15 minutes we got up and left again.

they dont have great beer. their Weißbeer smells like feet and tastes like wheat. their lemon limonade is very sweet, i preper something real. the beers are not great but the food is very delicious I cane here with my Dad and we got news that our Zebra Finch layd an egg. We dont like the crunchy things on the mango ice cream. why give an ice cream that has nothing to do with the creme brullee. it wouldve been better with vanilla. plus the sun was blinding us. overpriced for one person. schnitzel 40 euro

The food was extremely tasty and the service was first class. You felt like you were at home, only the cooking was better. 😉 We can advise everyone to go here if you happen to be in the area. We will definitely come back!

The best food, beer and coffee we have had in Bavaria. The Kaiserschwarrn is to die for. Coffee made with fresh milk not preserved UHT milk.

This is what a brewery with a restaurant should look like. Beautiful wood paneling, brewing kettle right at the entrance. Very nice service. We had the pork roast and loved it. Tasty and plentiful. The naturally cloudy cellar beer had aromas of banana and mango. Finally, a herbal schnapps.

Very clean & fancy bar (American feel).

Very good food 👍 The service was perfect 👌 The atmosphere is very nice ✅ The highlight is the beer garden 💯 The beer 🍺 tastes fruity 😋 ...keep it up 👏

We were on vacation for a few days and found this great restaurant!!!! The older waiter was particularly good!!! Great and more!!

Five Star Food, Five Star Beer. It's excellent. Enjoy everything they have to offer.

We were passing through and discovered this restaurant while walking through the town. Very nice atmosphere, super friendly staff and very high quality food, very tasty food. Simply a pleasure. Price performance is very good. I can only recommend it 100%

The first 5 points go to the staff, such a friendly welcome, simply personable. The food was super tasty and came quite quickly. Price / offer: Very good. Very child friendly 🙂

Great Bavarian casual atmosphere, and very good food. Yes, it took a while when there was a lot going on. It doesn't matter, there's a good atmosphere and everyone is understanding. We recommend roast pork, the knuckle is breaded here: it's good and very tender, but probably not for everyone. But the beer 10/10. The Radler is particularly refreshing in summer.

Dear Ammergauer Maxbräu team and Hotel Maximilian team, we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your great work! We decided at rather short notice that we would look for a location for our daughter's blessing ceremony where we would feel comfortable even in bad weather and still be able to celebrate outside when the weather was nice. The fact that Sandra, as fairy godmother and interface between the restaurant and the hotel, responded to our request so quickly and openly (for a rather unusual event) was a surprise and a real stroke of luck for us. Sandra immediately took into account our ideas and also discussed them with the kitchen (excellent cabbage donuts were conjured up especially for us as a vegetarian alternative to roast pork with dumplings). For dessert there was a really large portion of really freshly cut fruit salad. The prices were very fair and we were never surprised with any unforeseen costs. On the contrary, the tables were set and set with white tablecloths and subtle fresh floral decorations inside for lunch and outside in the beer garden, which we were able to use in the morning. With around 30 guests and 10 children, we had more than enough space in the front part to organize a small ceremony under the blossoming chestnuts and to relax our souls with music (an Irish folk group was allowed to play during the morning) and a view of Laber and Kofel allow. In addition, it was not an issue to set up a small craft and painting station and the children were also allowed to drive on bobby cars in the forecourt to the hotel entrance and finally the adults could also dance. The proximity to the playground was simply brilliant at the end of the event! We also felt more than comfortable with the service in the restaurant! The waitresses and waiters thought for themselves and were friendly at all times, including towards the very little ones.

Great authentic German food, local beer. Loved the food, great service

Dish very poorly explained when ordering Cold dish Forgotten dish The table was not served at the same time

I can only recommend it to everyone. Great food, really great service. We sat in the beer garden until the end...it was just great.

We wanted to celebrate a family celebration at Maxbräu. Request almost 2 months in advance. Staff was very friendly and accepted the reservation. 1 week later the chef was supposed to report to discuss the menu. That didn't happen. When we asked, we were informed that it was not yet certain whether it would be open at all in April. The very friendly receptionist wanted to contact management and let us know within a week whether it worked. When we asked again after 2 weeks, we were told that she couldn't reach management. Another day later she had to cancel us as a precaution because she still had no information from her management. We had to quickly come up with a plan B, only to later find out that the restaurant was open on the desired date. Conclusion: Friendly and courteous staff, but there is a lot of room for improvement at the management level.

Great and above all friendly service. Finely hopped, exceptionally good beer. We will be back definitely. Greetings from number #7 and #16.

Great service and an exceptional beer. LG from No.7 and 16 😅👋
