Apfelwein Wagner in Frankfurt am Main

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!

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

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.

Food is below German avarage. Service is very bad.

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

The attitude of the service staff is so bad

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

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

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

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.

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…

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.

Your typically busy and friendly frankfurter ravern!

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

very noisy. Apple wine is hardly drinkable

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

Delicious local food, slaughter platter.

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

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

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.

Very good offer. Best cider and friendly waiters.

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 👍

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

Cool place!^^ Very German and homey.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Refreshing Apfelwein. Delicious schnitzel with iconic Frankfurt green sauce

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.

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

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 👍

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.

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.

It was not so good experience have dinner with terrible service. Serving lady pushed us to pay for tip several times even without kindness. I have been this restaurant more than 20years but this was very first time makes me embarrassed. When I said several times will not pay for the tip, the asian serving lady even asked me my nation. I never expect to hear kind of racism from the restaurant because of tips. Will never been this restaurant.

Definitely go there again and again

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!

A typical Frankfurt apple wine restaurant, delicious food without any fuss and good apple wine. Service sometimes rustic but warm. Gladly again and again.

This stuff takes some getting used to. But the food, service and ambience were great.

Overall food was just average. Was there for the sake of trying German cuisine but was fairly disappointed.

Traditional Frankfurt food with excellent service! We ordered three dishes, all very good and very well served.

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.

Amazing schnitzel and green sauce. Historic place with great food. Apple wine is good…even if I prefer beer. I would come back for sure.

It's unbelievably disastrous, everyone is talking crazy and shouting on top of that madness, it's really bad.. it's nice that its authenticity has been preserved.. It was also interesting that the waiter took the order after insisting that he say good evening to him, we had already greeted him with hello before ordering🤷🏻♀️ ...

Everything wonderful. Changing weekly menu (rare for cider restaurants) Unfortunately mashed potatoes sometimes come with instant mashed potatoes (??!). The statement is then “we can’t manage that many customers”. Please what? Hence bypassing it. Otherwise food 5 stars but that's how it slips down.

The food could have been a little more seasoned Radiant heaters should be turned on when guests arrive, not just when they leave

The pig's feet are fried, and the outer skin is crispy and fragrant. The potatoes on the side are also fried and delicious. The disadvantage is that the pig's feet are a bit salty, and the portion is so large that it makes me a little tired after eating it. For the apple cider, someone will order sparkling water to mix it with. It will taste more pleasant to drink, but it will easily make you feel full and uncomfortable. So I personally prefer drinking original juice.

Quirlig, lebendig, authentisch… ein Lokal das man im Rahmen eines Frankfurt Besuchs erlebt haben sollte. Apfelwein und regionale, bodenständige Speisen zu angemessenen Preisen. Wir finden es hier immer wieder schön und kommen mit Geschäftspartnern, Freunden und Familie immer wieder gerne hier hin.

Bei warmen Wetter warmen Apfelwein zu servieren...Respekt! Die Krautwickel waren unterirdisch: Das Kraut ungewürzt, Kartoffelpürree aus der Tüte, der Inhalt des Krautwickels unkommentierbar... Sehr schade um dieses einmal wirklich tolle Lokal!! Symbol für den Untergang des Abendlandes? ;-)

Great atmosphere, long tables and if it's full you have to share. We liked it so much that we repeated.

Unfortunately, my visit to Apfelwein Wagner was a real disappointment. The waiting times were extremely long. Of the three dishes I ordered, my meal (beef sausage with sauerkraut) arrived last - and I'm sure it was originally simply forgotten. When it was finally served, I was also given mashed potatoes, which I had never ordered. Since the service was completely overwhelmed and could never be found, I couldn't even clarify it. The entire atmosphere was chaotic: a table behind us had their food returned, another table had to go in to even order. We also had to wait forever to pay. When I tried to point out to the waitress that I hadn't ordered the mashed potatoes, they just looked at me annoyed. In the end I paid €10.90 for a dish that was marked €7.50 on the menu - I find that quite outrageous. The food was okay, but the service and the whole experience were unpleasant. Unfortunately I won't be coming back.

Top was here years ago, I'd love to come back next time I'm in Frankfurt

Quaint restaurant with a rare value. German and regional cuisine. Unfortunately no beer on the menu.

Bad food, bad service. Lives only from the reputation and the tourists.

Super nice apple wine restaurant in Frankfurt with great service and a beautiful garden. Good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.

Very nice Authentic German good

Beautiful place. Gorgeous and delicious cutlet! Too bad they don't serve beer but only cider which I honestly don't recommend! Stratospheric strudel

Too loud, no beer, no coffee, fewer options for food, orders were forgotten, generally everything took a long time.

Good food and nice atmosphere, but the waiter was impatient, rude, and intolerant, which really affected our experience. The food was delicious, though, so it's a shame the service didn't match. Could be a great spot if the staff were more welcoming.

There's always something going on here... despite the house being full, we were served quickly and the food came quickly. I would say real Hessian cuisine!! It's not for a first date :-) you have nothing to say to each other. The noise level is very loud due to the number of guests. Cider isn't my thing - but it's worth trying.

Well, first of all, the apple cider is super good and has nothing to do with anything else you can buy. The food is okay. I judge two dishes. Pork knuckle with fried potatoes. The pork knuckle was good, the fried potatoes seemed more like they had been warmed up. So no trace of crunchy. The same applies to the veal cheeks. The green sauce that came with it was also just okay. The place is huge. It's not uncomfortable but either Not comfortable. The waitress seemed like she was longing for the end of the day.

Traditional Äppelwoi restaurant. Traditional food, not for everyone, but anyone who visits the restaurant should know that. Wooden benches and wooden tables in the backyard, not very comfortable, but that should also be clear to the visitor. No beer. Good, quick staff. Prices reasonable.

What a horrible experience. The service was very unpleasant. My husband's dish arrived 15 minutes before mine. When I asked about my meal, the waitress told me it had been delivered to another table. She didn’t apologize or offer any further explanation. I also saw a couple ask a waiter for the bill, and he just looked away, saying, 'Not me.' He didn’t even bother to call someone else to assist them. Overpriced for what the restaurant offers.

The food is rich and tasty, the service could be more attentive and friendly. The ambience suffers somewhat due to the large number of tourist groups.

It's not the first time I've been here and the food was excellent as usual. However, the waiter forgot my food, so we had to ask 30 minutes later. Unfortunately the service was poor. We weren't even noticed, even if we wanted to order something.

I can't say anything bad about it. I recommend the restaurant to everyone. Good atmosphere, cool place.

Meh. Attention: 2/5. Packed place. They put you in like a sardine, they want to bill you at any cost. They sat us at the table where other people were already there. It was hot (they don't use air conditioning). The apfelwein depends on each person's tastes. I tried it because it is supposed to be a must in Frankfurt, for me it was a cider like any other and it wasn't even very cold. The apple strudel was good.

Worth a visit again and again, especially with international visitors, the best impression

Beautiful cider restaurant with an indoor area and also a garden area at the back. In the garden area it is pleasantly quiet, already made environment. Service was very accommodating and everything was affordable. Highly recommended for a stop in Frankfurt city center. I'd love to have some ribs again.

All I can say is that after 35 years I drank an apple cider again and the sour stuff still tastes good.

Non lo sconsiglio. È un luogo caratteristico e va bene provare. Non ci si carichi di aspettative tuttavia. Poco conveniente nel rapporto qualità-prezzo, da evitare una presa in giro che è la bevanda sidro che offrono in una caraffa molto ricca di acqua e poca materia prima. Ho scorto un cameriere che riciclava ciò che rimaneva non consumato nelle caraffe non svuotate dai clienti. Meglio chiedere acqua normale. Il servizio mi è sembrato buono e il cameriere gentile e sorridente. Buon appetito!

There is no beer in the menu. Which is interesting. Prices are reasonable, atmosphere is nice, service is fast, there is no need to reserve table if you are a small group.

It's a shame, the great times in Sachsenhausen are over and there's nothing new in sight. You can't honk at Schäufele for life, at some point everything needs a renewal, come up with something!
