Backöfele in Würzburg

The pub is okay, nothing special. Franconian cuisine is disproportionately expensive to the abundance of plates. The place is crowded, but there are plenty of tables and there is a chance to get a seat. The dishes arrive shortly after ordering.

Extremely good restaurant, found it spontaneously and asked if there was room for two people for dinner. Drinks came quickly, food came hot and quickly. The Cordon Bleu was well filled with a delicious cheese. The potato salad was absolutely perfect. The onion braise was buttery soft, the dumplings had a perfect consistency and the sauce completed the dish - It was absolutely delicious and praiseworthy. The waiters were all attentive, competent and quick. A young gentleman with golden curls looked after us at the table; he was quick and courteous. The evening's praise goes to him for the service.

Because of the positive internet reviews, we chose the Backöfele and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere and furnishings of the restaurant are really fantastic, the food is absolutely great and the service is very friendly and accommodating. We felt absolutely comfortable right from the start and will definitely be back soon!

The food is super delicious and the Kaiserschmarrn is a revelation!

A quaint restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. The price level is reasonable, but the Backöfele is not cheap. The portions are generous. We had perfectly served asparagus with zander and potatoes as well as Schäufele. The sauerkraut was extremely good, not too sweet and not too sour. The dumplings were also very tasty. The meat too. We would stop at the Oven again, especially since they serve something to eat quite late.

We were a group of 14 people. The food was very tasty, and the vegetarian nut roast was also sensational.

10/10 Service and food are perfect. It is a pleasure to dine there every time.

Only recommended. Nothing works without a reservation. The Schäufele... a poem! Excellent, attentive service!

We can only agree with the positive reviews. The service is super nice and attentive! We only ate one Kaiserschmarren there, but it was by far the best we've ever eaten! Simply a pleasure! The restaurant is also totally rustic and cozy… an absolute top address in Würzburg!

A very loving and beautifully decorated restaurant. You should definitely make a reservation in advance. That was just great. The service was great. Courage the snails

Seat in the middle of the flight path. Uncomfortable sitting with 20-30 people standing next to you waiting to get in. Uncomfortably dark and loud. Food itself was completely ok.

Great restaurant! Delicious typical dishes, welcoming and refined atmosphere, kind and attentive staff Absolutely recommended!

I can't judge the food, it didn't even get that far. We wanted to reserve a table for 2 3 days ago, the friendly employee on the phone told me that everything was already full. But if we get past the off-peak times it works, no one is sent away hungry. When we arrived today at 5 p.m.!!!! We were turned away immediately because we didn't have a reservation - some of the tables were still free for at least 2 hours. I just find this inflexibility terrible, that's why this rating is given. Customer service is just as important as anything else!

Very rude greater. Many open tables, said they were full. Guess they didn't tourists. Atmostphere looked nice, what a shame.

The ambience cannot be compared!!! Beautiful! Service was world class too! Unfortunately, the food wasn't that well seasoned but was still delicious

A very cozy inn with a rustic atmosphere and an emphasis on local Franconian cuisine. Table reservations seemed to be required. Very well and professionally organized. Food was very tasty and service was very friendly and quick.

Good home cooking and good portions. The service is very well organized. Thank you

Great restaurant, extremely tasty dishes (I had venison goulash myself), the atmosphere is very harmonious, I would eat here again at any time. Top!

Delicious food. Had a complaint about an insert. It was replaced without any problems and as compensation there was a dessert (Kaiserschmarrn) for 3 people for free, as well as an apricot for each (there were 8 of us). Service was very attentive even though it was busy. It was a great evening

We were there in a group. Ambience great, food ok but expensive. But the service was inadequate and unfriendly. We were there last time

The store is nice, the food is okay, the employees are unfriendly and profit-oriented. doesn't have to happen again.

With our own 30 years of catering experience, here are a few points: 1. Reservation possible for only 2 hours. 2. Calculation of turkey steak and cordon bleu should be reconsidered. 3. Potato cookies were served frozen on a hot plate. The entire table received a schnapps, the manager made the selection. 4. The consistency of the hollandaise sauce was like cooled vanilla pudding, flavored too lemony. 5. The liver dumplings from the soup were not gray (like boiled liver) but cream-colored like marrow dumplings and tasted like that. 6. The cordon bleu was dry, still edible. 7. A colleague wanted to buy a round of drinks, was rejected by the waiter and could not be billed. 8. The General Terms and Conditions...: Individual billing is not possible for groups of 8 or more. We were 7 people. I argued about it with the manager until we both raised our voices and then did the individual billing myself. My personal conclusion: 1st visit about 3 years ago, everything was fine. 2nd visit yesterday, November 29th, nothing was wrong. There will no longer be a third visit. There's another way to feel good and leave your money there at overpriced prices.

Very cozy rustic restaurant. Franconian cuisine. Map tip-top, prices okay, good portions and service friendly and on the ball. Another lovely and cozy evening.

Excellent food in pleasant surroundings and well-kept rooms. It was a great pleasure for all of us!

Very unfriendly on the phone, if reachable at all

What luck to have chosen this restaurant. Such a lovely welcome, a cozy table for 3 queens :-), service couldn't be better because hospitality is lived here, the food was great, regional and tasted great. Everything just fits here.

I had the onion roast... simply delicious! The atmosphere invites you to linger and the service is friendly and courteous.

Great ambience, friendly service and excellent food. I can only recommend it.

Unfortunately the Schäuferla with potato dumplings and sauerkraut was a bit disappointing. Everything was very bland and unseasoned. I expected more for the prices! Too bad. Seasonal dishes were good though!

The restaurant is beautiful and the food is good. Price a little higher than expected, but not much. We were served by an unfriendly waitress, which compromised our experience. I recommend more cordiality with customers. We are in a Christmas mood and affection and kindness make all the difference.

Tolles fränkisches Restaurant mit prima Küche. Schneller Service und Essen trotz vollem Haus super schnell auf dem Tisch.

Gemütliches uriges Restaurant, super nette Bedienung und leckeres traditionelles Essen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden!

Tourist hotspot. BUT a sensational restaurant. Ambiance very cool. Downstairs in the dark or better up to eat. When you enter there is a WOW effect.

Typical restaurant, pleasant environment divided into various areas, all beautiful and particular. Fast service, very friendly staff. Good tasting food. Price normal. A few steps from the center. Advise.

A real Franconian restaurant with very tasty food and a great ambience. Definitely worth a visit! You should definitely make a reservation

Das Backöflle kann man nur empfehlen einzige ist es ist etwas laut im Hauptsaal. Die Einrichtung ist sehr urig und wunderschön und das Essen war sehr lecker allerdings manche Portionen vielleicht einen Tick klein.

Essen top, Bedienung top, Preise dennoch hoch, Schäuferle 28.-€, halbe Ente 38.-€, auf jeden Fall sehr gehobene Preislage

Quaint inn near the old town. The restaurant was very busy and a reservation is recommended. The place is super dark and feels lit by candles. Reading the map was a bit of a challenge. The service is friendly and on the ball. The food was tasty and the quantity was okay. The selection is okay, but it didn't make me that happy. A warm side dish would be nice with the schnitzel. Conclusion: gladly again....

Great Franconian experience. Delicious food, attentive service and an unforgettable evening! Be sure to reserve!

28€ für ein Scheuferla ohne Salat ist schon krass. Würde nichts sagen wenn es auch nach 28€ geschmeckt hätte. Aber die angebliche Biersoße hat nach garnichts geschmeckt und des Scheuferla war furz trocken. Das ganze wurde mir erstattet da ich es zurück gegeben habe. Sonst gab es nichts zu beanstanden.

With a lot of luck we were able to spontaneously get two places yesterday. Were there for the first time. Really great atmosphere, very quaint, bigger than expected. Top service! And very delicious food. We'll be back

Good home cooking, food was very tasty, wines from the region, service very friendly and attentive, rustic brewery style atmosphere.

We went to the Backöfele three times during a week-long stay. The atmosphere, the food and the lovely staff impressed us on our first visit. All of our visits were spontaneous and without reservations. Even on Saturday evening they tried to offer us a place despite the full restaurant and it even worked. Thank you for that! That was our last evening in Würzburg and we were happy to be able to end it with you. I was very enthusiastic about the nut and lentil roast - finally a hearty, delicious vegan dish in the style of home cooking. We can also highly recommend the Kaiserschmarrn! We felt very comfortable there.

We had dinner at this beautiful restaurant. Once I stepped in, I was amazed by the ambient temperature, lighting and the setting. My German boyfriend introduced me to some traditional German food and they were super yummy. We didn't book a table and it was a Friday night. We were lucky to have a table for almost 1.5 hours and the service crew were very friendly! I will definitely come back again before I go back to Malaysia.

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant, mit sehr gutem Essen und einem aufmerksamen Service. Zu bemängeln ist lediglich, dass unsere Gruppe von 5 Personen nach 2 Stunden gehen musste. Wir wären sehr gerne noch geblieben und hätten sicherlich noch Nachtisch und die eine oder andere Flasche Wein getrunken.

Local cultural history Price performance great Friendly service ❤️

I was there for lunch on a Saturday lunchtime. Large salad plate with pike perch Delicious A second visit followed on a Sunday evening Large salad plate with turkey Unfortunately the portion was significantly smaller than on Saturday lunchtime. It would be nice if attention was paid to this in the future. Otherwise it is a very nice and tasty restaurant

Great atmosphere! Very courteous staff. Delicious Schäufele. Unfortunately overpriced.

Overcooked lukewarm food. Grim. Tight.not well ventilated. Service service quick and friendly. Relatively expensive. Venison goulash with knöpfle and red cabbage .24.90

This is one of the best restaurants I've been to. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive and the food was amazing. When we wanted a little more sauce, we got it straight away. Kassler and the turkey steak were very well prepared and harmonious with the side dishes. We also had 2 light thistle houses and iced tea from a brewery. Afterwards there was caramelized Kaiserschmarrn for 2 people. The menu says: min 30 min preparation. But it was much quicker and it was very, very tasty. Unfortunately I'm not from the corner and I'll miss it... Very nice restaurant, hopefully we'll come by again.

I have rarely experienced a restaurant where the staff seemed so happy. And I'm not talking about 1-2 employees here, but at least 10. The harmony was right, the service was unbeatable in all respects. There were 8 of us and everyone, without exception, enjoyed the food very much. The starters and desserts were also great. The only drawback: depending on which room you sit in, it can be quite loud. We were in the room in front of the bar and there was a lot of activity from the staff there, but it wasn't too loud. All in all, it deserves 5 stars, I'm looking forward to the second visit. In the pictures: Pumpkin soup (€7.80) Braised onion roast (€23.60) Schupfnudeln, vegan (€18.60) Chocolate makes you happy (€10.70)

Wir lieben das Ambiente im Backöfele seit vielen Jahren. Die Service-Mitarbeiter können wir nur loben. Aber: das Essen hat hinsichtlich Darbietung und Qualität nachgelassen. Es war enttäuschend.

Tolles uriges Restaurant in der Altstadt. Tolles Personal und nicht aufdringlich. Sehr gutes Essen und gute Auswahl. Großes Lob an das Team!!!

Ambiente sehr angenehm und Essen wie erwartet sehr gut

Nice quaint restaurant. The service was very friendly. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the food. Tasted very bland and warmed up. We wouldn't go there a second time.

Das Essen war heiß und sehr gut. Die Tische sind zu klein und man sitzt sehr beengt. Der Service ist sehr schnell. Die Lautstärke ist heftig. Eine Unterhaltung ist nicht möglich.

Gutes Essen, sehr freundliche Bedienung,Immer sehr gut besucht und dadurch sehr lebhaft von der Geräuschkulisse her.

Eine Top-Wirtschaft, wir kommen gerne wieder! Das essen und der Service waren excellent!

It is a quaint, traditional restaurant and a must in Würzburg. Be sure to reserve. The staff is super friendly. The food is really tasty and, above all, the plates are hot! An insider tip in Würzburg.

Ich kannte das Backöfele von einem Besuch vor 6 Jahren und war nun aufgrund der damals positiven Erfahrung anlässlich einer Veranstaltung in Würzburg mit einem befreundeten Ehepaar und deren Sohn wieder da. Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht! Es war unverändert gut! Alle 4 Mahlzeiten waren super, der Frankenwein sowieso, das Ambiente mit dem "Backofen" ist einfach herrlich und der Kellner und weitere Bedienungen waren kommunikativ, super-freundlich, zuvorkommend, und professionell. Besser geht es eigentlich nicht! Die absolute Notwendigkeit einer rechtzeitigen Reservierung und die Vollbelegung bereits kurz nach der Öffnung um 17 Uhr sprechen für sich. Das Backöfele ist die Adresse schlechthin für zünftige, rustikale Fränkische Küche in Würzburg!

We had Schäufele. It was very tasty and the rind was crispy. It was quite narrow at the table and it was a bit slanted. It took some getting used to at first, but it didn't detract from the good food.

Es war Ok allerdings war mein Zwiebelschmorbraten nach 5 Minuten am Tisch und genau so hat er auch geschmeckt. Kaum genießbar. Ambiente war super aber das Essen ist kaum einen Stern wert

The atmosphere is really nice but the food is terrible. Ordered onion rostvraten and venison goulash and both were at the table after 5 minutes. Unfortunately, that's exactly how it tasted. The meat was barely edible and the dumplings were unfortunately out of the packaging and the sauce was unfortunately out of the packaging. We paid €70 so there must be more in it. Unfortunately we can't recommend it any further. Max 2 stars no more

The ambience is really nice and the service is ok, but the food is absolutely not recommended. I had the venison ragout and my husband had the onion braised roast. Both arrived 5 minutes after ordering - far too fast for fresh food. The meat was tough, the spaetzle was hard and there was hardly any flavor. The food sat in our stomachs for hours afterwards and kept burping up. Unfortunately not recommended.

Rustic, Franconian food in a great ambience with a large selection of wines!

Wie gewohnt super Essen, freundlicher Service und schöne Atmosphäre.

The ambience is great. The food didn't blow us away, We ate better there

Wie immer gut . Personal sehr nett, Essen gut , schönes Lokal . Nur das einzige was uns wirklich gestört hat und weshalb wir schnell wieder gegangen sind, es war extrem laut. Das ist kein direkter Vorwurf , ist nun mal so wenn Restaurant voll und ich wüsste auch nicht wie das zu ändern wäre. Aber so ist es eben nicht gemütlich und man kann sich nicht richtig unterhalten, zumindest nicht in in normaler Lautstärke 🙈 Ich hatte Gäste zu Besuch in Würzburg und die wollten leider nur noch schnell wieder raus 🙈. Schade

Das Essen war hervorragend, Preis/Leistung absolut gerechtfertigt… Schade nur dass in einem zeitlich eingeschränkten Slot ein „aufwändiges“ Dessert von vorn herein nicht möglich war… wurde seitens der Servkraft gleich abgewiesen

There are a lot of people here and the prices are reasonable.

We received a very friendly welcome and the service was very courteous and pleasant throughout the evening. It wasn't a problem that we were there 20 minutes early and we were offered a table straight away. Great service! :) The meal was excellent. Very attractive autumn menu. A visit to the Backöfele is definitely recommended.

Very good selection of food and rustic atmosphere. Many others know this too and that's why it's better to make a reservation. Highly recommended!

They were very tasty spontaneously while passing through from the Frankfurt Book Fair. Would love to come back

Nice inn with friendly, quick and attentive staff. Very cozy. Lots of local specialties on offer. My braised onion roast was rather bland. All other food was delicious though.

When we are in Würzburg, we visit the Backöfele!! The ambience is great. Simply quaint and cozy. Service great and very friendly. Water was immediately brought for our small dogs. It's always a pleasure and a great way to end our trip to Würzburg. It's hard to imagine this sooooo beautiful city without it.

Great restaurant in the heart of Würzburg. Food very good, nice service.

Simply always nice: rustic, cozy atmosphere, very good food and friendly, fast service.

Delicious dishes, great cuisine, nice, friendly service Absolutely recommended. 5 stars from me!!!!! *****

I'm almost sorry to have to give the food only one star, but unfortunately I didn't like it. It was certainly really good from a cooking point of view, but unfortunately it wasn't for me.

Totally nice rustic restaurant with a small but fine menu. Highly recommended

Very good Franconian cuisine, attentive service. Inconspicuous, but highly recommended.

Seit Jahrzehnten DIE Wahl! Exzellentes Essen, Service und Ambiente.

Very tasty dishes and a pleasant atmosphere.

Unfortunately, unfriendly staff in places.

Very busy and solid Franconian cuisine. You obviously don't have to worry about capacity utilization because you're not particularly concerned about individual wishes - that's my impression. The location is very warm when it is full. Oh, I think Würzburg has better alternatives to offer.

Top restaurant. Schäufele is highly recommended. Super nice and professional service. Super great atmosphere. Always the first choice in Würzburg.

Sehr gut um die fränkische Küche kennen zu lernen.

Delicious food, great service. Chairs very uncomfortable

Good food and good service, but inside there was very bad air and oppressive heat (October)

It's noisy because there are a lot of people, but the food is really delicious👍👍👍The staff are also friendly.

Traditional cuisine in old walls. Crispy Schäufele!

That's not true!!! What a perfect symbiosis between service and food. We made reservations in advance for 7 people, which I definitely recommend, the house was full, but not unpleasant. That showed the quality standard and that we did a lot of things right here. Delicious home cooking with fresh and high quality products 🫶 The service was courteous and extremely professional, the steak was not completely cooked, it was handled without any problems and very confidently and the customer's needs were taken into account, even the side dishes were freshly prepared. My absolute recommendation in Würzburg, I'll be back next time I visit 🙏🏼

Full five stars that are deserved, the atmosphere is simply rustic and cozy. The service is on point and very friendly, we had five different dishes and everything was great and the price was great and I would even pay €2 more. See you next time

Hervorragendes Restaurant der besonderen Note, einzigartig , ja einmalig , Wir besuchen es seit Jahrzehnten und sind immer sehr begeistert, man kann es mit guten Gewissen nur empfehlen.

Flawless! Absolutely worth a visit

Very good food. The inner courtyard offers a special atmosphere.

Leckeres Essen aber sehr kleine Portionen für den Preis.

The food wasn't great, the service was incredibly good given the stress and the atmosphere was very loud this year

An excellent dinner option! Very good food and a great atmosphere.

Just a quaint pub. Fast and friendly staff. Prices reasonable. Food was ok.
