Ankergarten in Zellingen

Closed for this year until 2026

That was really great. A fun afternoon at Oktoberfest. With a brass band, keg tapping, and much more.

Beer garden on the Main Cycle Path in Zellingen. It was actually really cozy. However, I was a little shocked by the food. An onion steak with bread for €12.90 is very, very overpriced. A steak with some onions and a roll was served. Quick service, very friendly staff. But I'll stick to the drinks next time.

Unfortunately, we also made the mistake of ordering currywurst and curry chicken with fries. The highly praised sauce had a very strange taste. There's still a lot of room for improvement in the preparation of the rest of the food. The music??, an outrage.

A beautiful beer garden located in Zellingen am Main. It's located next to the old Main Bridge. Beautiful old trees. Very cozy.

Beautiful beer garden located directly on the Main River.

Beautiful beer garden with an absolutely delicious snack platter and friendly staff. The opening hours spoil the fun. The decision as to whether the garden is open on the specified days and times is so spontaneous that we found ourselves standing in front of a closed garden twice, even though it should be open. A look at the website before the second attempt also gave no indication that it was closed. Addition: I know that Google can't be changed spontaneously. I can't estimate what would be possible on the website. I'm very sorry, but I couldn't find any indication on the Ankergarten's Instagram page that it was/should be closed due to the weather. I don't have Facebook, but what's freely available didn't indicate that either.

Unfortunately, we don't recommend it. Our food tasted cheaply made and overpriced.

The schnitzel is a joke, but I can't laugh. Barely bigger than a beer mat and just as thin, less than 6mm thick, 4mm of which is breading (meaning no more than 2mm of meat), no side salad, self-service, and all for €14. It's a disgrace, bordering on a rip-off. The beer is okay, normal price.

The ambience was quite nice, the food was pretty poor.

Nice beer garden, self-service, good food and drinks

The perfect place to take a break when you're out on your bike. They could do better with the kitchen organization. I waited 10 minutes for a bratwurst in a bun, and during that time, there weren't any on the grill. I'd be happy to go again!

Highly recommended, very friendly staff. Always worth a visit with Eileen and Denis, who make the beer garden a truly memorable experience, with great food, drinks, and lots of love. We look forward to the next event with you. Thank you very much. See you soon.

Burgers were delicious, staff was friendly and a nice beer garden

We went there on a recommendation because a friend told me they had vegan options – and we were pleasantly surprised! 🌱 They have vegan bratwurst in a bun, currywurst with homemade sauce and fries, and even a vegan falafel salad on the menu (we didn't try it, but the fact that it's there is amazing). Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. A small mistake with the order was sorted out super friendly and personally by the chef – and as an apology, we got vegan cake on the house. (We would have had vegan cake anyway.) The selection was really great: homemade cakes and tarts 🍰 absolutely delicious. They also served cappuccino with oat barista milk – fantastic! The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, and you feel at home. Overall, a really great surprise, especially for a beer garden! You can tell that the work here is done with passion. Highly recommended – we'll definitely be back! 😊

We were surprised! We're from the Karlstadt area, and friends of ours recommended the beer garden to us last week because they supposedly serve delicious vegan bratwurst and lots of vegan cakes and pies. That's not something you'd expect from a beer garden in a rural area, and as vegans, that's not something you'd expect! So we went there today after the swimming pool and had a really great time. ... We both had the vegan currywurst and found it very tasty and fresh. They also offer a few vegan cakes and pies, and to our surprise, even more than non-vegan ones. We opted for a Black Forest gateau and a blueberry cheesecake. Both were also very tasty and fresh. In a conversation with one of the owners, we were also told that the cakes are fresh and homemade. They certainly confirmed this. I can only give this place 5/5. Service: The staff was always polite and competent, and a small error during a cancellation, which resulted in a longer wait for our food, was compensated for by giving us two free slices of cake. They kindly apologized and even accommodated us. These things happen in the heat of the moment and are no problem at all, but we were still happy about the small gesture! 😊 Hence 5/5! We're actually just annoyed that we didn't know about this place before, and we'll definitely be going there more often with other friends in the future. Our vegan friends are especially happy about such a tip, as vegans often only expect fries. See you next time! 😊

A truly beautiful location. It's also an absolute dream for wedding celebrations. The kids have a playground, delicious food, and a fantastic selection of drinks. Great service. Highly recommended.

Convenient location directly on the Main Cycle Path and the car-free bridge to Retzbach, with easy access to other cycle paths. The food is good. Shaded seating is available. Self-service. I was there twice on the weekend.

Great ambience, extensive and varied menu, very good prices, very good organization and extremely friendly staff

A beautiful beer garden right on the Main River, with a view of the water and under beautiful trees. Excellent beer, including Augustiner and Günther Pils on tap. One of my favorite beer gardens in the Würzburg area.

One of the most beautiful beer gardens in the region. Located directly on the Main River, it offers shady seating and a pleasant atmosphere. They serve excellent draft beers and the food is excellent! Be sure to try the currywurst with fries. Dogs are welcome.

Good beer, great Franconian snack platter. I'll definitely be back 👌

Very nice beer garden, delicious food at reasonable prices, and a wide selection of drinks. Plenty of seating, including shade.

A large beer garden located directly on the May cycle path. You can sit in the shade under the trees or in the sun. There's a launch area and a small playground. We had the chicken skewer with spicy sauce and fries. It tasted delicious, and the fries were super crispy.

We were there with the whole family on Mother's Day. We'd love to go back again; we loved it.

Burgers and beer every Thursday – what a great idea! The burger is delicious. You can watch it being prepared. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality. The sauce is amazing.

Super nice staff - good food and great cakes - large selection of drinks - shady and sunny places - children's play area - so you can relax and enjoy 👍🏽❤️

Very nice beer garden with a view of the Main. I really enjoyed the onion steak. Due to its location on the bike path, the beer garden is very easy to reach.

Very nice beer garden on the Main.

A very nice beer garden. Food very good and tasty

Last review was an oversight sorry, sorry, sorry. The beer garden is idyllically located on the Main. And the food on offer is very good. So only recommended.

Cozy beer garden on the bike path. Very tasty beers and food. Great value for money. Staff very friendly and motivated. Hopefully you'll stay for a long time

Great little beer garden. Service is nice and courteous. Food plenty taste good. Sausage salad a little too dry. More onions and stock. The Obatzder and the cooking cheese are great. Otherwise everything is good.

It would be a great beer garden if they changed the concept a bit. There should be two cash registers. One for the food and one for the drinks. We would have stayed longer. But waiting twenty minutes before you can order food and drinks is a bit too long. That's why we only had one drink.

Everything you would expect from a beer garden Price-performance ratio fits Cozy with a beautiful view

We felt very comfortable in this beer garden, good food and very friendly staff and the beautiful location on the Main

Food and price performance was okay. I'd love to come back.

Nice beer garden with simple but delicious food.

A very nice beer garden right on the Main. You sit comfortably under a row of trees providing shade. There is also a playground for the little ones. The food and drink selection is varied. The quality of the food is also good and the portions are large enough. The service reaches its limits when it is at full capacity, but that is normal. Here you should be patient for a few minutes 😉. Ideal for cyclists, families with children or just meeting friends 🍻.

Beautifully located on the Main. No card payment possible

Super friendly, tasty, helpful and always an open ear for hungry people who arrive late 🤭😉

Nice beer garden, right on the Main. Delicious wines. Very good, affordable prices!

A cool, modern beer garden that breaks new ground

We were there yesterday with the children. Right on the Main with a playground and a very pleasant atmosphere. Gladly again!

I (basically) drive when I'm near this place just because of that ANCHOR GARDEN there………because It's very comfortable there - in the shade and you can also sit outside! But mainly about such a great one (Snack platter with sausage and cheese etc. as well as other delicious ones Food such as also excellent can eat schnitzel! WE'LL LOVE TO COME BACK HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 👍👍 And look forward to the next one VISIT

If you're passing through by bike, it's a nice place to stop for a little refreshment and maybe something to eat.

Very nicely located beer garden with friendly staff, decent food and, above all, an extremely large selection of drinks. I would love to come back here again. Here even 10 would be necessary if they existed.

It's a shame that the currywurst didn't live up to what we had imagined

On June 23rd, 2024 we anchored garden in Zellingen (right on the bike path). For dinner we had schnitzel and currywurst with fries and Salad, which was all very good The salad in particular was very good turned on.The prices are OK. The staff was friendly, the beer garden was clean, just great under the chestnut trees Shadow. We're happy to come again. We can only recommend you. See you next time.

Great beer garden with delicious food.

Beer isn't poured full and if you regulate it's moody. Ordered currywurst with fries, got a fried bratwurst, in my opinion it wasn't currywurst, but the rest of the grill was used.

Very nicely located - very family friendly (playground) Food was extremely carelessly prepared and just as carelessly presented - portions small. The food is significantly too expensive for that. No table service, which is now common practice.

A nice beer garden with bad food (small, expensive portions).

Nice beer garden with a friendly staff!

This was last year 2023: Discovered while looking for a well-kept beer garden, but unfortunately it's closed. The owner on site complained about a lack of suitable staff. We find that very, very unfortunate. Hopefully some energetic employees will be found quickly. You'll keep your fingers crossed! From April 30, 2024, initially only open Friday to Sunday and on public holidays. Out of consideration for the neighbors, open until 10 p.m.

A beautifully situated beer garden. Unfortunately, the selection of dishes is not particularly large, which doesn't really have to be the case. However, the prices are high and the staff is unfortunately very inflexible. The steak with fries costs over €12, although the quantity is manageable. If the customer only wants a steak roll, this is difficult if not impossible. This means that the price is roughly estimated. So you suddenly end up with €9.90 (yes, for a steak roll). If you then express criticism that he has miscalculated something, you get the message that the prices are well calculated and the price is completely fine. Besides, there would be enough food on offer... Hey, you can do it that way, but in the long run you shouldn't be surprised if guests stay away. There's a steak on the grill and the roll right next to it. You could almost think that this is a food wish that can hardly be fulfilled... But the price almost made me fall on the floor laughing. We won't be coming back. Price/performance doesn't fit here at all. Even if the meat is regional (that was very important to him). Unfortunately it is and remains just a beer garden.

Very nice idyllic beer garden with a view of the Main. Large selection of drinks and typical beer garden food that was ready very quickly. The associated children's playground, which is protected from the street by the fence, is also nice. We will be back definitely.

Located directly on the Main cycle path. Very friendly staff, great beer, unfortunately no card payment possible

Finally a beer garden on the bike path again. Very nice staff! Pleasant prices. Always worth a visit !

If I could give 10 stars, I would do so straight away. I think that says it all!! Keep it up boys and girls!! A really big cinema for Zellingen ☀️👍😁🌷♥️

I live in Zellingen and was happy that the beer garden has a tenant again. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the “Anker Helle”. The staff was also very friendly. However, we were unfortunately dissatisfied with the food. I ate a schnitzel with fries. It was ready after about 5 minutes. Unfortunately it wasn't really good. It was a deep fryer schnitzel and was therefore both fatty and tough. My friend's salad was okay, took a long time and the baguette was inedible. It's a shame, I hope you can improve it.

Beautiful traditional beer garden right on the Main cycle path. Small but fine selection of fresh dishes. And an amazing selection of drinks. Augustiner Hell on tap ☺️ my insider tip, however, is the Ankerbier Hell. Your own beer from the beer garden

On May 10th I went to eat and drink in the Ankergarten after it reopened. I loved the ambience and the food was good too!. I had a salad with honey mustard dressing and fries. For the man there was currywurst. Both tasted great and were prepared quickly! Unfortunately there is no service. Otherwise the team is friendly and accommodating. I will gladly come again!

Reopened with new tenants, great beer garden with great drinks => absolutely recommended!

I was there and I recommend staying for a while in this atmospheric place.

Food was good 😋 Unfortunately not hot enough.

Update 2023: the location will remain closed this year due to supposed renovations. What!! A beer garden operator renovates during the season, no one can do that for you. Very incomprehensible and a shame not to operate such a premium location. You can tell that the owner doesn't have to make any money. The main reason why they closed is probably the inability to organize and run a store like this. Just give it back if you don't have it.

Simply the most beautiful beer garden in the area!

Delicious and freshly prepared. Friendly service. Really great and beautiful beer garden right on the Main and on the bike path. The prices are okay.

After 50 kilometers and a good 900 meters of altitude by bike, the light from Augustiner, the 0 bratwurst with fries, was exactly what I needed. Clear bidding garden located directly on the cycle path. Very good. Ger e iedet

A nice beer garden with good food (the steak and bratwurst were delicious) and at moderate prices. Keep it up Greetings from Rollerfreunde55plus

Vegan & vegetarian friendly. Nice service, delicious food!

Schöner Selbsbeedienungsbiergarten mit Blick auf den Main.

Wunderschöner Biergarten direkt am Main, freundliches Personal und leckeres Essen

Wunderschöner Platz zum Verweilen und Schlemmen. Freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen und lecker Weinchen (Bacchus).

Wir hatten das Glück dort als geschlossene Gesellschaft eine kleine Hochzeit feiern zu können. Das hat alles sehr gut geklappt und wir hatten ein entspanntes (Biergarten-)Fest. Es gab alles, was so normalerweise angeboten wird und ein bißchen mehr. Ich empfehle die Grünkernbratlinge mit Kartoffelsalat und Quark. Danke.

Super lecker Essen und schönes Ambiente

Super schöner Biergarten und lecker Essen 👍

Reichhaltige Küche und ein leckeres Bier am Main-Ufer. Günstig und gut.

Sehr leckeres Essen, direkt am Main gelegen. Schöner Biergarten

Netter Biergarten, der sich für eine ausgedehnte Rast bei einer Maintal Radtour förmlich anbietet. Deftige Speisen und leckeres Bier. Leider self service, da kann es dann schnell zu Schlangen bei der Kasse kommen.

Sehr gutes Essen und schöner Biergarten. Abwechselnder Mittagstisch am Sonntag

Wir sind an dem Biergarten spontan vorbeigekommen. Es war rappel voll, deswegen haben wir uns auch reingesetzt. Der Käsekuchen war super cremig und lecker! Schmeckte auf jeden Fall selbstgemacht!

Leckere Currywurst, Schattig unter alten Bäumen direkt am Radweg. Nettes, aufmerksames Personal 👍

Leckeres Essen, Tolle Atmosphäre, beste Lage. 😍😍 Gehe auf jeden Fall nochmal hin!

Sehr schöner Biergarten, freundliche Mitarbeiter*innen, leckeres Essen. Die Portionen sind sehr großzügig. Für Kinder sind die Portionen zu groß. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert!

Tolles Essen, toller Service, schönes Ambiente – was will frau mehr?

Tolle Lage an Main und Radweg. Ausreichend Plätze und ein kleiner Spielplatz sind vorhanden. Das Essen und die Getränkeversorgung gehen dank Selbsbedienung schnell. 👍👍

Sehr nettes Personal große Speisenauswahl. Mir waren die Pommes zu hart geschmacklich waren sie lecker. Selbst wenn ich die Pommes in die Soße lege, wurden sie nicht weicher. Vielleicht mal andere Pommes Sorte verwenden, dann gibt es 5*

Leckeres Essen, Pommes schmecken sehr lecker und die Portion ist mehr als reichlich.. Burger sind sehr zu empfehlen, sowohl die veggie Variante als auch mit Rind. Das Team ist sehr bemüht seine Gäste schnell und gut zu bewirten. Dank der Bänke und Tische, die breiter sind als gewöhnlich lässt es sich sehr gut im Schatten einer alten Linde aushalten.

Schöner Biergarten nette Leute die sich richtig Mühe geben , auch das Essen war super komme gerne wieder !!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ankergarten ist zu bis auf weiteres zu nur Freitag bis Sonntag auf personalmangel

Essen gut Getränke gut Personal nett Kasse stark verbessungswürdig. Da sollte sich der Betreiber mal Gedanken machen. Er könnte das doppelte verkaufen

Sehr schöner Biergarten. Augustiner Bier sehr lecker (wie immer).

Sehr schöner Biergarten. Schnelle Abwicklung. Mit großem Sandkasten für Kinder. Gemütlich unter Bäumen, Preisleistung passt. Werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen

Ein kleines Stück Bayern in Unterfranken. 🙃 Ist nicht beim Weizen geblieben. Prost.

Leckere Salate! Dass Gutmann das Weizen der Wahl ist, gefällt sehr! Schön gelegen direkt am Main.

Ein gemütliches Ambiente, gutes Essen und einen tollen Blick auf den Main

Ein zauberhafter Ort in bester Lage. Sehr freundliches Personal, eine umfangreiche Auswahl an Speisen und Getränken. Die alten Baumbestände und genügend Sonnenschirme bieten bei Sonne eine Vielzahl an schattigen Sitzplätzen. Ich war hundertprozentig zufrieden und sage DANKE ♥️, dafür vergebe ich die Höchstzahl an Sternen! Klasse Biergarten ☆☆☆☆☆
