Apfelwein Wagner in Frankfurt am Main

5 points now become 3 points. There were four of us and we wanted to have dinner together. The meal was served in four stages. And everyone was allowed to watch each person eat dinner. The waiter in charge had no understanding of our complaint. The portions have also become much smaller. The Wiener Schnitzel felt like 150 grams. Sorry, that's nothing!! But in the end no one cares because the place is always full. Ambiance as always.

Average food, terrible service. An insult to German heritage

Way too loud and not exactly comfortable

Been here again after years. Eat deliciously even after 10 p.m. Fast service.

A classic 😁 Great atmosphere and great traditional food. Typically Frankfurt.

Very cozy and crowded on cold weekday night. It’s all about sharing tables here. I’m not super impressed with the green sauce after all the hype. Good but for me, not great.

Food : ⭐️ according to my colleagues it was okay, but nothing extraordinary Service: ZERO ⭐️ The staff was extremely unfriendly! The waiter gave my order incorrectly even though I told him several times what I would like to eat and even showed it on the menu. When the food came, he implied in a very unfriendly tone that I had ordered this. Without asking, he then put the wrapped food on the table for me and disappeared into the kitchen without saying a word. I wanted to leave the restaurant immediately, but I stayed for the love of my colleagues. He didn't want to get involved in any discussion when paying and kept us waiting for twenty minutes. I still paid for the food, which was wrapped and untouched on our table. I don't want to support such a restaurant and save other guests from such a bad experience.

Catastrophic, establishment to flee! As soon as we ordered a beer, we felt like we were intruding. The food is way too expensive for what it is. After the meal, we waited 20 minutes for the bill, then, when we got up to ask for it, we were shouted "Sit down!". Another 20 minutes of waiting for the bill, and 10 more minutes for us to be cashed, without a thank you or a goodbye. A horrendous service to absolutely avoid.

To flee! The waiters are rude, I've never seen that in my life. 20 min to get the bill, 20 min to pay..meanwhile we are yelled at to sit back down because after 40 min we are going to pay at the counter Don't ask for beer, they don't have any and they'll make you understand... If you don't speak German (but English to communicate with them) they will make you understand that they don't like it either. In short, flee this place.

Danger: No beer No coffee - although apple strudel is offered Food was very good.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, but the food didn't taste particularly good

We had ordered several Viennese which were quite thin and very tough. The waitresses are pretty unfriendly and you won't get more than a dirty look from them. It took around 30 minutes for someone to take our order. We had to wait another 40 minutes for our food. The food was hardly cooked with any love but simply slapped onto the plate. Nevertheless, the apple strudel was very good!

Had dinner here on the hotel's recommendation, but didn't really look into it further. Busy, noisy, long tables with benches that are (too) close together. The place where we sat at the back actually turned out to be a covered terrace, the right side warm from the heaters, the left side cold from the draft. As I said, I didn't delve into it further, when we were asked what we wanted to drink and we said beer, we still got a look... we also thought a joke was being made, but not so. Anyway, Apfelwein it is. Well, I drank the stuff out of curiosity, it is also advised to dilute it with water, clearly 😉, you have to love it. The food itself was fine, but 1 of the three dishes was served later. Service in itself OK, but they are clearly focused on production instead of attention. When the bill was brought, the finger was clearly tapped on the tip line, downright rude. Not worth repeating.

I've been there several times and like the German food and cider.

Very nice and simple place. Serving traditional german cuisine. Tried the veal schnitzel with green sauce, which was very good. Cheese with onion was a very interesting combination, recommended. The big jar of apple wine was very tough to jandle as the wine was dry, yet after the second cup, it all got better. Finished with calvados and apricot, nice but not more. Over all great atmosphere, nice and basic food.

Good place for typical food and seasonal apfelwein. And Mispelchen!

The staff is great. The food is good but nothing special. If you like apple cider, you'll get a taste for it here. There is a lot going on and therefore very loud.

The worst knuckle I have ever eaten in my life Dry as a shoe To not return

Food tastes so-so. Schnitzel for 26.90 was nothing. When I pointed this out, there was no reaction...just a smile).Well, ok. One quest was to find the restaurant! Outside it says "Adolf Wagner" and not "Apfelwein Wagner." When I asked the owner about the reason why it has a different name outside, there was no clear answer. Only a long-time employee could help me! The ambience is OK! A bit noisy but good for larger groups! For the first time I've experienced a place where no "beer" is offered at all))) .

Food quite okay. Very loud because it was very crowded. Ambience, well

Great for visitors and tourists. Note there is no beer there and with a drm car it's better not to come and make a reservation

I'm out and about a lot, and I also go to restaurants for a bite to eat. The food, it was ribs with cabbage, was very good. The male waiter doesn't have a friendly appearance, the management should think about that.

**Mixed Food Experience, but Major Service Concerns!** I recently visited Apfelwein Wagner and wanted to share my experience to caution future guests. The mashed potatoes and blood sausage were decent, but my experience was overshadowed by the service. The staff was rude and harassed customers. From the moment I walked in, the waitress’s unfriendly demeanor was evident. When I approached to greet her, she immediately turned away, then greeted me with, “Toilet? Downstairs” shaking her finger and pointing downstairs.—which I found impolite, dismissive, and unprofessional. The worst part came at checkout. The waitress sternly insisted I write in a tip, making the entire interaction uncomfortable. When I asked if tipping was mandatory, she avoided a direct answer but kept pressuring me to add a tip. I felt very harassed because I put a tip of 0 on the bill and told her I didn't tip, but she still ordered me to tip and held the payment machine to stop me from paying! I said if you insist on ordering me to tip, I will make a record, are you sure you want to force me to tip? The waitress said nothing walked away silently with a poker face and left the payment machine behind. I have since seen other reviews reporting similar behavior, where waitstaff repeatedly insists on tips from customers even though there are some cases of compulsive behaviors! I reported my experience to the management, requesting an investigation, and have submitted a record of this incident to the relevant authorities. Apfelwein Wagner might have authentic food, but they should ensure a respectful environment for customers. I require the management can fix the waitress quality issue, as it tarnishes an otherwise well-regarded Frankfurt establishment.

Delicious food, good ambience and very friendly service, I recommend it 100% !!!

Food was okay, portion was sufficient, but the price is probably higher due to the location. Ambiance and everything is coherent and should be modeled on a winery. What wasn't okay was that card payment for a group was refused. We weren't allowed to pay individually but only together. With so many operations incomprehensible and in 2024 with contactless payments it won't take much longer.

Cozy restaurant. We spontaneously got a table with 17 people. I can highly recommend it. And will definitely come back.

2024.01.07 Apparently they're famous for their cider, but it wasn't very good. Other than that, the cutlets were delicious. Overall 3 (Taste 3 Atmosphere 3 Customer service 3 Cleanliness 3 Cost performance 3)

The food is served quite fast and it's delicious! Great place to bring visitors and hang out with friends.

Very disappointing with the racism and unkind service. Never recommend. Glad to rate my FIRST 1 star grade ever. It's a good choice if you want to experience the worst of unfriendliness and racism. This is my first 1 star rating.

Typical Sachsenhausen apple wine bar with delicious food and friendly staff

... Food doesn't come at the same time, very unprofessional.

None of the staff here was even remotely friendly. If you hate people, why do you work in service? Food was ok, nothing special

Feels like a local restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Lots of people on a Friday. Big portions, so you can definitely share. Genuine and German! You get full!

Great experience, typical Frankfurt dishes, I had the opportunity to try the apfelwein. Fair price Accepts credit card I recommend!

Great atmosphere and vibe all around, but waiter was unnecessarily rude.

Excellent food. Typical frankfurt green sauce. Service was fine, could have been better.

What can you say, an old-established “Appelwoi pub”!! Haven't been there for a long time because we now live a few hundred kilometers away. The occasion was a visit to the Frankfurt Book Fair combined with a nice evening with a dear friend. The “Appelwoi” was great, the service was as friendly and honest as it should be :) and the typical food – in this case “Frankfurter Grüne sauce with egg and fried potatoes” and “Handkäääs mit Musik”🎶 – like it Befits this area!😋😋😋

The restaurant is rustic and quaintly furnished, with long wooden tables and benches that invite you to get together in a cozy atmosphere. The atmosphere is down-to-earth and lively - it is often loud, crowded and there is a sociable atmosphere. It is a place where people from all over the city and tourists alike feel comfortable. The large inner courtyard is also particularly beautiful. The menu is typically Hessian and offers everything you could expect from an apple wine tavern: Handkäs with music, ribs with cabbage, green sauce and schnitzel in various variations. The portions are generous and the food is down-to-earth and solid. The green sauce – a classic of Frankfurt cuisine – is freshly prepared here and goes perfectly with schnitzel or boiled eggs. The cuisine is hearty, but tastes convincing and perfect for anyone who loves traditional Hessian cuisine. The heart of the offering is of course the apple wine, which is traditionally served here in the “Bembel” (the typical Hessian apple wine jug). The apple cider is tart and fresh, as it should be, and goes wonderfully with the hearty dishes. Other regional drinks and some simple wines are also available, but the cider is clearly the star of the house. The service is friendly and quick, although it can sometimes take a while when there is a lot of traffic. The waitresses are experienced, know their regular guests and remain friendly and attentive even when there is a lot of hustle and bustle. The staff is helpful and happy to explain the traditions and food to guests new to the cider scene. This creates a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere in which you immediately feel welcome. The Wagner Apfelweinwirtschaft is a must for anyone who wants to get to know Frankfurt and its culinary tradition. It's not a fancy restaurant, but a quaint one

Quaint, tasty and great service

I used to live and Frankfort and since ever then have come back to enjoy traditional German food “Frankfurt-style”. However eating there yesterday was a ruined experience. It was a beautiful, sunny fall afternoon and I chose to come there not just for the food craving but also for sitting outdoors to enjoy the weather. Luckily I got one of the tables in the small courtyard. After the waiter took my order another one came out and due to a shift change, or any other random circumstance that wasn’t explained, started to close the roof. I asked him why and what was then said made no sense. I told him that with consensus of the other people sitting outside - two other groups - we all would prefer to keep the roof open as it would only make it dark and take away a lot from the experience. He then stated “OK”, regardless of that closed it and walked off without responding to any engagement after. After he had left I looked around in despair and finally took action and by myself reopened the roof again. A few moments later the “Wirt/Owner” came out and asked if I touched the switch. I said yes and explained that we all would prefer that it would stay open. He aggressively told me that this is not my business and that it needs to be closed. Very rude and unfriendly approach of him and the rest of the staff. Ruined my meal and in addition focussed my attention even more to the food which seemed to be also not as nice anymore as in the past. I will most certainly not come back there. There are many nice alternatives around the area and I am happy to take my business in the future elsewhere. Good luck with this service and customer oriented, arrogant approach!

I was visiting on a trip from Japan. I read a book that there was an apple wine country in Frankfurt, so I immediately put it on a map After sleeping and went exploring. In contrast to the Japanese, The German sausages were also quite large. In Tokyo I often hear about restaurants that specialize in wine. Stores that specialized in cider, so I was interested. The decoration of the landing was very unique as there was a large apple model. I would like to come back.

Mythical place for traditional German food with good cider Very good goulash soup Bratwurst sausages nothing special Recommended apple wine (citron) Good atmosphere

Food is below German avarage. Service is very bad.

I recommend Schnitzel Wiener Art and the Apfelstrudel. I will keep returning, the place is great

The attitude of the service staff is so bad

Good German cuisine. Fast, friendly staff. Clean “toilets”

Overall a bad experience. The waiter was really rude and even looked angry that we asked to be seated. After we had a few drinks and paid, they only took cash and didn't even give us change. Really bad experience. I wouldn't recommend it

Quaint pub with delicious food and a super nice and funny waiter Manuel

Nice between locals and mostly German tourists apple wine, I was prepared for sour, but it wasn't too bad, the advice was at least 3 glasses, I ended up with 2, the schnitzel with local green sauce was perfect and delicious fried potatoes, you know how they do that I don't but crispy. For desert a medlar, local drink with a piece of fruit, done again! And very affordable!

We came to Wagner at relatively short notice and were very satisfied there. The schnitzels are buttery soft, the fried potatoes are very tasty and the Äppler is very tasty. The medlar is highly recommended 😋 The background noise takes some getting used to, but I'm a bit of a mimimi. Thanks to our waiter, he was so quick 👍🏻

The tastiest and tender juicy Grill Loin Ribs and the best apple strudel.. not forget fresh apple wune

Not a bad restaurant. Delicious menu. Surprisingly inexpensive. I liked it and recommend it. We'll definitely come back again.

I visited this restaurant and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. The behavior of the staff was disrespectful and discriminatory, which is a clear case of racism. It is unacceptable that such behavior is tolerated in a public space. As a guest, I expect respect and equal treatment, regardless of my origins. I therefore cannot recommend this restaurant and hope that the management takes urgent measures to prevent such incidents in the future. Discrimination has no place in our society!

Beautiful place, excellent option to try German food and have delicious apfelwein. One of the waiters was very rude, but the other was super friendly so it made up for it. The tables are shared since they are large.

Waiter was rude We were ignored right from the start. After asking if they offered beer, the waiter simply walked away and we couldn't order any further until we asked further The Jägerschnitzel came almost without sauce and it was very, very watery The schnitzel was soggy The apple cider was way too sour and not good On the conversation that the food wasn't good Was it the guest's fault and "a good guest would give the food back" complained there was no apology or anything else

Nice, big restaurant. The service was very quick and very organized despite the large group. Nothing was forgotten and the waitress was in a good mood. Big compliments to Tomasz at this point. Unfortunately, the food was just average. This is a little better. 3 out of 5 stars. Would still come back…

Your typically busy and friendly frankfurter ravern!

The boss really wanted to place more guests at our table. When we were told that it was too crowded, the waitress was instructed not to serve us anymore. That was definitely the last visit here.

Always nice to be there. The cider is okay and the food is okay. Great atmosphere

Young and old meet here for a drink. For me, as a person from Sachsenhausen, my absolute favorite - the service staff, who are not always in a good mood, contribute to the homely atmosphere. Varied daily menu with traditional dishes at reasonable prices.

Beautiful again and again. Nice atmosphere, great guests, nice staff. I can only recommend it. A must for every Frankfurt visit.

Traditional tavern with an excellent atmosphere. The typical thing is cider and ribs. Very good value for money. They also have white and rose wine. There is no beer.

The food was cold and when pointed out, the service wasn't really service-oriented. At the end there wasn't even a "goodbye" anymore.

Apfelwein Wagner and the Gemaltes Haus right next door are almost sacred places in Frankfurt's cider culture!

very noisy. Apple wine is hardly drinkable

Cozy, typical Äppelwoi location with super nice service! That's how it has to be 🤩

Good cider, delicious green sauce, nice terrace and nice service. You'll enjoy going there!

Typically “Frankfurtish”. Traditional cider restaurant. Top service. Very good food. “Cosy” atmosphere.

A typical pub for tourists. Reminds a bit of Düsseldorf and its old town, only here the old town is made from apples. But after the 2 or 3 he passes as OK. Depending on the room, the atmosphere in the house can sometimes be loud.

Chinese tourist place. Nice waiter. But it has definitely lost its charm

Good home-style, typical Frankfurt apple wine restaurant. Normal prices, good food, nice service. Very well attended even during the week. Overall, highly recommended

Delicious local food, slaughter platter.

Very traditional place, I will recommend it, just not the best place if you are in a hurry. Pork chops are a must try and of course appelwien. The prices will be affected for the drinks but a nice dinner plate is around 15 to 25, and around 30 for the steaks. You for sure not will be hungry in a few hours.

If you don't make a reservation, you will sit outside. The atmosphere is good, but there are many people smoking which is annoying. The food was surprisingly delicious. I ordered fried pork chops and fish, both of which were great. The spinach sauce was special but hard to eat. The dish had a texture that was raw and creamy. Apple cider is a specialty of Frankfurt and is a bit sour, but it tastes good when paired with something salty!

A must before the Eintracht game.

The man with the bald head and the accent who served us was unbeatable in his unfriendliness

Traditional restaurant with delicious, reasonably priced food! But it is very loud and the benches don't really invite you to linger for long. The service is unique 😀

The bald waiter with the accent is disrespect personified. I've never been served so badly.

The food was okay and the ambience was quite nice. However, the service was very rude.

Rustic, honest, Frankfurt. You come here because everyone is treated equally.

The two of us ordered a grilled ribs (16.9 euros), fried pork trotters (16.9 euros), green sauce (5 euros) and 2 glasses of apple cider (2.7/cup) ~ the best thing is the grilled ribs (attached above) The sauerkraut is super delicious 😋) and the green sauce, the fried pig's feet are average~ The apple cider tastes a bit like white wine (slightly astringent), you can order a glass first to see if you like it~ because everyone has different tastes ⋯ There are also many local Germans Of course, the service attitude cannot be compared with Asia ~ But it’s not that the attitude is bad, it’s just more casual 😅 But overall it’s acceptable 👍

Very good offer. Best cider and friendly waiters.

Cool place!^^ Very German and homey.

I ate there while on a business trip. Assorted pork. The assortment seems to be aimed at tourists.

Extremely overrated. Staff was rude and whistled to ask for tips despite poor service. Food was so-so. The apple wine was just fair as I have tried much better ones in other restaurant. I wonder why it still got >4 stars in the overall rating. Would not recommend others to visit this restaurant.

Very tasty food great green sauce! Very nice service!

Such unprofessional unbelievable! After a long day you finally arrive at the restaurant, call 20 minutes in advance to find out if there is enough space and then you are sent away!!! What a shame, I'll advise everyone here not to do it!

I rarely give poor comments to restaurants (you may check my profile), but giving 1 star to this restaurant is a must. Mediocre food, mediocre apple wine (much worst than any apple wine we have tasted elsewhere and they dare to name their restaurant with Apfelwein). SUPER POOR service with the staff getting ragged even before ordering, keep tapping the receipt with pen and asked for tips when we checked the bill. NEVER waste your time here.

Heard this was one of the most popular Apfelwine places in Frankfurt so we tried it out. Started off ordering 2 glasses of Apfelwine. Interesting taste and not too bad. Then we moved on to ordering food. We ordered the Schnitzel with Frankfurt Green Sauce and potatoes. We also ordered the Pork rib cooked with sauerkraut and potatoes. The pork rib had really nice flavor as well as the sauerkraut. Still thinking about it! Overall the food was solid, the employees were attentive and it was a nice experience.

Refreshing Apfelwein. Delicious schnitzel with iconic Frankfurt green sauce

Most important for foreign people, there is no beer available. Food was good but not only local stuff. It seems, that a lot of companies are going there and it is quite crowded.

Pleasant atmosphere, with well served and delicious food and very friendly service. I recommend it

Speciality apple wine is not that great, and the place doesnt offer any kind of beer. Great schnitzels, but sausages so-so. The seating is mainly on the benches without backrest.

The friendliness is unbelievably bad! I have never experienced anything like this in my 54 years. My toilet hasn't been working for three days.

NEVER GO HERE if you are not German. NEVER GO THERE if you don’t support racism. I‘ve never saw any waiter so rude.First they led Asian people share table — me and the other two group of people were forced to eat together.And they didn’t even ask the first group if they accept that. then the waitress took the wrong order (main course with slight difference on side dishes,so I didn’t notice until having the check,when I told her it’s a wrong order,she didn’t answer at all and was just busy charging the other man who shared the table with me. Then I told her again, she just gave me a sideways glance with a really nasty look on her face. I felt so angry so I asked her „why do you look at me like that?it is so rude.“ and next word she gave me was :“this is Germany“. Okay,that’s really great.you German 👍 You want to know the end? Another waiter came and said this is totally my fault and asked me to pay for the bill and that’s it. Germany 👍German 👍

Germany is famous for its beer, but Frankfurt is also famous for its apple wine (cider). We had lunch here. Soup with croutons for 5.9€, homemade wheat flour, mashed potatoes and sauerkraut for 11.5€, and apple wine for 3.8€ for a total of 21.5€ (3,464 yen at the time). The food was delicious and plentiful, the seats were spacious and comfortable, and the staff were kind and satisfying. The location was within walking distance from the tourist center, and the surrounding atmosphere was relatively calm and I felt safe.

As always at “Wagner” - delicious food and a good glass of wine!

What can you say? Top! Food good, atmosphere good and service more than good.

We had made reservations for ten people. The cider tasted very bad, which was also shown by the fact that a colleague at the table had a very bad night - and no, there weren't too many glasses, just two spritzed ones. The waiter had behaved so badly to a woman at our table! Then we left. She found it very unpleasant because he just sat down next to us and didn't want to stop making the comments. I've really never experienced anything like this and I go to restaurants, bars and the like a lot! Never again!

I went there after seeing a blog post about director Cha Bum-geun's visit. It was very, very disappointing. They told me that all the indoor seats were reserved and made me sit outside. The tables on the street are for smoking, so I sat at the table near the entrance. However, when I went to the bathroom, I saw that the interior was full of empty tables. There was no sign indicating reserved seating. I'm not sure if this was racial discrimination, but it didn't make sense to me and I didn't feel good about it. If the food had tasted good, I would have been happy with it, but it was expensive (I keep recommending expensive food) and the portions were small, so I even asked for a tip later. Koreans, don't be fooled by blogs and never go here. There are many better German restaurants.
