Bad Dürkheimer Fass in Bad Dürkheim

Food good, service good and the ambience too. Recommendation 100%

It's very beautiful there. I can only recommend it.

Very good to enjoy German food, beet and wine by kind staff

Unfortunately, the restrooms are a joke. Very cramped cubicles in the basement, narrow stairs. Cubicles where you can barely move, and one cubicle was completely flooded. It wasn't particularly hygienic.

We ate the Tafelspitz and the Winzerteller and can only praise the cuisine; very, very tasty food and very friendly service with absolutely normal pricing. That's why this was certainly not our last visit here and we can absolutely recommend a visit to the Dürkheimer Faß!!!

Was there with 10 people... very satisfied with the food, quality and speed as well as the ambience!!! Soap in the toilet was refilled immediately after the “empty” message was given!!

Great for eating and drinking wine on excursions

Yes, very nice staff and very good food

Very friendly staff; food very good

We waren redelijk vroeg om 11:45 en alles was al gereserveerd en dat op een woensdag! Maar ze hadden nog een klein tafeltje voor ons op de hoek! Ontvangst was hartelijk en de bediening snel!! Wel direct een fors glas riesling van 0,25 l, maar prijs hoeveelheid is 0,25 wel voordeliger! We zijn voor de lokale specialiteiten gegaan! Ik had een senioren portie, maar dat was ook ruim voldoende! De worst en zuurkool zijn gewoon lekker, wel mosterd erbij besteld, je staat dan weer binnen 45 minuten op straat!

The food was quite ok. Nothing more, nothing less.

I asked for a taxi after dinner and the answer was: I should please check Google myself. That's not possible for such a tourist magnet

The food was very good, we will be back.

Super tasty, very satisfied, a great cook.

Very nice location with very good food. Friendly service and good prices.

Saumagen and bratwurst were delicious.

I had a spontaneous meal here with a friend a week ago. We didn't have a reservation. But that wasn't a problem at all. Probably because it was Monday. We were served promptly, the drinks and then the food were served almost in record time. As a local, I was a bit skeptical about the quality of the food. The barrel definitely has the reputation of being a “tourist club”. But I would be proven wrong. The food came to the table hot, plentiful and very tasty, the spritzer was as it should be. So a clear recommendation! Here you can eat well and tasty.

Very nice, the food was very tasty Very interesting idea Young waitress was very nice 👌

We ordered a signature burger... Dishes are prepared in advance; there is no question of the flavor of something freshly prepared. Everything is over-salted and over-peppered. Cabbage from the nearest supermarket, mustard from somewhere else. I only liked the bread... I ate it with beer.

A nice restaurant. There is delicious food. I had venison goulash with bread dumplings and red cabbage and my partner had a small portion of Saumagen with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes.

Nice location, but we weren't impressed with the food, paid €70 for 2 common dishes (Jägerschnitzel + pork medallions) with a touch of sauce... so very dry. The staff was also totally stressed, and we were also asked to leave because the table for 5 p.m. had already been reserved for another group. Even though the waitress seated us at the table at 4 p.m. Beautiful landscape and ambience in Bad Dürkheim but the restaurant disappointed us..

We only did one viewing. We can judge the food tonight. The visit is highly recommended as you will learn a lot of interesting facts.

I visited this restaurant 2 weeks ago where should I start eating not fresh salad tasted like it was 3 days old. I think the food was expired, the fried potatoes were black and the schnitzel was rancid. When I ran out of the restaurant and an employee ran at my feet crying, it was completely over. What kind of shop is this? Definitely not worth a visit.

Very friendly staff, German regional cuisine. Please always reserve, almost impossible without a reservation as it is always busy. We weren't directly in the giant barrel, but in "Die Bütt". Which is integrated directly into the giant barrel.

Very rustic restaurant with typical Palatinate flair

Contrary to many negative entries, I can only say praise. Nice service, delicious Saumagen (they're tourists and didn't know it yet) and good drinks.

A fun place to enjoy Pfalz Palatinate wines.

There is a restaurant inside the Riesenfass but it was closed when we were there. I was told that is usually very busy during tourist season.

Superbe ambiance Personnel agréable Nous reviendrons dans quelques semaines Une sortie avec 34 collègues Très bien situé près de notre hôtel

We were completely satisfied. The atmosphere appealed to us immediately, and the service was also very pleasant and super friendly. The food was prepared quickly and tasted excellent. Thank you for the wonderful Sunday, the many culinary and visual impressions. Our friends were thrilled and we, we'll be back👍

Nice restaurant, very cozy. Friendly staff, good and tasty food and drinks.

Today we had a reservation at the Dürkheimer Riesenfass dinner and have to say it was TOP!!! The decor is quaint/cozy. The portions are large and small portions can also be ordered for those who eat less. The service is super friendly and everyone is on their toes 👍🏻. The prices are completely okay. After your meal you can go for a walk in the Kur Park next door or at the salt works. There are enough parking spaces available. We'll be back!!

Very good service and not too intrusive. You feel very well looked after!

A special place - if you're lucky, you'll sit in the wine barrel. Already special! Very good service, good food and nice wine selection. Reasonably priced.

Can be recommended. Grade a good B. Nothing to complain about.

Das Essen war dass letzte! Die Hälfte die gekommen war (der Rest der Bestellung wurde erst gar nicht richtig erfasst) war einfach nur eine Fertigsosse in der noch frische Pilze rein kamen, das Fleisch ungenießbar und einen Tag später ist einem so übel das man sich nur noch mehr ärgert darüber. Ach und nicht zu vergessen die Kleidung riecht nach Pommesbude und das bestellte Wasser war wohl noch 20 Minuten im Brunnen wenn man die Bedienung nicht daran erinnert hätte wäre es da jetzt noch. Never Ever Fass unter der Leitung. Wenn der Chef dann noch in der Ecke hockt und am Handy zockt ist alles verloren!

The soup was lukewarm, and my rump steak, which I had ordered medium, arrived bloody. It took about five minutes before I got the attention of a staff member. When I told the waiter that my steak wasn't cooked properly, he just laughed and took it away. When it came back it was dry and cooked through. I didn't expect a refund - just an acknowledgment of the error - but instead they acted like it was normal and charged the full price. I have been a loyal customer for over ten years and have always recommended this restaurant to newcomers. Unfortunately, Sunday doesn't seem to be a good day to visit. It feels as if only students or trainees are cooking here on this day. At least the water was good.

The "hut" was full and quite loud. My meal was not what I expected. The steak was well done instead of medium and quite unseasoned.

Great food Great waiter Kenny Thank you for the lovely evening It's a shame that the violin was missing....:-)

The food was plentiful and tasty, the price range was 100%

Went to the barrel from Karlsruhe to eat on the recommendation of friends and were completely thrilled. Sensationally prepared Palatinate specialties that were portioned in such a way that you can barely finish the plate. Quality at the highest level with local meat specialties. Staff extremely friendly and attentive. Although we're a long way from Karlsruhe, we'll be happy to come back... Thank you very much and keep it up

With friendly staff Very good food

das schlechteste Essen seit Jahren - Kartoffeln kalt Bei der Pfälzer Platte- eine ganz miserable Leberwurst sowie der Schweinebauch nicht geniesbar die jungen Angestellten kümmern sich überhaupt nicht um die Gäste bei 2 Getränken war auch noch der Weinschorle verkehrt

Always worth a trip! Rustic, unique atmosphere. Friendly staff and hearty home cooking!! Only recommended!

We've been here several times and it's always been very tasty... maybe it's because of the Wustmarkt or the change in tenants... the food just wasn't good... fried potatoes weren't cooked through, sauerkraut was lukewarm, everything was kind of bland... so sorry I'm sorry, because the service staff is friendly... unfortunately the price-performance ratio is no longer right here... it's a shame...

Everything was great, I'd love to come back, please reserve before visiting, it would be an advantage.

Very quaint atmosphere. Service was nice and quick. Some portions are quite large.

Been here several times. Delicious food, quick staff. Always worth a trip.

We had a nice seat in one of the barrels. The service was very friendly and quick. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre, especially the sauces and side dishes (croquettes, puree) were rather weak in taste and leaned toward convinience. All in all, it's OK, but I'd rather go to another wine bar for food.

Service: friendly, fast and competent. Food: very tasty and plentiful. Ambience: cozy - reservation is advantageous.

We didn't go to the giant barrel to eat, we went there for a hike, so I can't comment on that

Went there with friends and had previously reserved a small keg for 5 people. Really rustic place. Super nice welcome and really quick and friendly service. Service alone deserves 5 stars!!!!. Then the food came and we were very pleasantly surprised. Everything was super tasty and good portions. Salad was fresh and the food was well prepared. And finally, quickly go to the toilet. Craziness !!!! Everything sparkling clean and hygienically clean. Thank you for the great time, for the super nice service, the top food and the cleanliness We'll definitely be back!!!!

Very rustic and comfortably furnished😍 Nice service, that's always important. The wine tastings are highly recommended, I had number 4 with 6 red wines. As a wine connoisseur, I have learned that you can safely forget everything that so-called “wine experts” say. The only important thing is: I like it. And the selection is really delicious. The food is also very good and, above all, plentiful: 3 slices of Saumagen with plenty of puree (creamy!) and sauerkraut with jus. You'll definitely get full for just under €15. Highly recommended!

Very good food. Rump steak, beef fillet, ox shreds, loin. Everything cooked to perfection as ordered. Nice service. Not a long waiting time. Everything is great.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An absolutely great experience in the wine barrel in Bad Dürkheim! The food was simply excellent – ​​everything was fresh, perfectly prepared and the taste was a real highlight. 🍷🍽️ The atmosphere is cozy and unique, exactly what you want from a special evening. The staff was friendly, attentive and made us feel completely comfortable. Everything is just right here – from the quality of the food to the warmth of the service. We will definitely come back and can only warmly recommend the wine barrel! ❤️

The operator prepared an excellent buffet at a Christmas party. Starter excellent, main course varied, good and plentiful. Dessert with dessert and cheese flawless. Conclusion: it will also be true in the restaurant.

Very disappointing that the giant barrel is advertised on the Internet and when you reserve a table by phone, the person opposite answers with the giant barrel and makes the reservation and when you arrive you are directed to another restaurant to the right of the barrel. Statement from the service: "The barrel can only be rented for private events; a viewing would be possible through the tourist information." Here, customers are lured with false information about an attraction. I ordered herring with potatoes. The potatoes were lukewarm.

Good quality food, as we were a large group it was difficult to assess.

We went here for dinner and overall we were very satisfied. The food was excellent, with one small exception: the boiled beef that my father-in-law had ordered was unfortunately a bit tough. Otherwise everything was wonderful – from the salad to the starter to the main course. We would particularly like to highlight the service: Laura was extremely attentive and friendly. We even asked for her name and are allowed to use it here – thank you, Laura, for the great service!

Beautiful city, very nice Christmas market.

Very comfortable and the food was also good and plentiful

Eaten well, drank well, served nicely. What more could you want?

It's not like it used to be, unfortunately the food wasn't hot anymore, but the prices were good. If you're hungry you should have an appetizer, the ambience was a bit dusty overall, the service was first class, the drinks were ok too, but all in all, well, do it even a picture

Nice ambience. Delicious food in large portions. Very nice and above all fast service; an attentive young man. There is a large parking lot right next to it for added mobility. Prices: not cheap, but overall reasonable. I thought it was very nice that the menu included information about the right Palatinate wine. Five stars for local patriotism (in a good sense).

Very tasty and simply TOP QUALITY 👍🏻 I would be happy to come again - also thanks to the great staff there!!! There is also free parking directly at the restaurant at the world-famous giant barrel in this wonderful spa town. Absolute recommendation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great ambience - the rest is ok

Food was great. The waitresses were nice even though it was quite busy and they were under constant stress. We were in the barrel at the entrance. Which makes ordering or paying quite difficult as you can easily be forgotten there🤣

You should visit. Advance registration required.

Very rustically furnished, very friendly staff, the food comes very quickly, the portions are very large and it is very tasty. The prices are not overpriced. I can only recommend it.

A great trip to Bad Dürkheim and a very pleasant coincidence that we got a place here on Sunday afternoon without a reservation☺️ Nice home cooking. Large, good portions, it is possible to order a smaller portion straight away. Price-performance is absolutely right, the dishes are not overpriced, although the location and tourism are certainly there for it. The service was very attentive. The whole restaurant is very nicely laid out. There is a changing table, but unfortunately it is not really barrier-free due to the many steps and the narrowness. We were there with a stroller, dog and friends, ate so well that we were able to go home happy and that certainly wasn't the last time. We would love to come back

Such a lovely atmosphere. The conditions were very attentive and the food was absolutely top. Price performance ratio is great. Any time.

Nice place, excellent decor, tasty and plentiful food, excellent service.

So schlecht wie heute im Dürkheimer Fass habe ich schon sehr sehr lange nicht mehr gegessen. Waren jetzt 3 x essen und jedes mal war es eine riesige Enttäuschung.

Very nice restaurant. The food wasn't to my taste

While waiting for a table I was refused access to the toilet and not in a very friendly way. This is how you successfully scare away guests.

Perfect despite the change of ownership, same quality and friendly service would be happy again

Food was good. Staff very quick and friendly.

We only went for a quick snack at lunchtime (bratwurst, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes). Since we were only there after 2 p.m., we got a seat straight away. But it could definitely be difficult at lunchtime or in the evening. The food was good. You have to see everything a little pragmatically. If you have to cook for up to 600 people, it can't be a gourmet meal. But the food was good for us. The restaurant is very cozy. It must be clear to you that only a handful of people can eat in the barrel itself. But that has no bearing on the fact that the atmosphere is very cozy everywhere. I would also like to mention that the service was very friendly and prompt. I think the restaurant simply belongs to the German wine route. A visit is an absolute must.

Unfortunately, despite the seating outside, it was not possible to get a drink. Not even with self-service. We wanted to have a quick drink with our expensive bikes and move on. Weak service

Durkheim's Giant Barrel is a tourist temple on the painted site "In the Heart of the Wine Road". It was designed and implemented by the local winery owner and cooper Fritz Keller in the 1930s. Dimensions ~: diameter 15 m, length 15 m, volume 1.5 megaliters, accommodates 150 visitors.

Simply delicious 🥰 The price-performance ratio was great And the service is A1 The food came quickly, even though it was busy. 👍🏼

You simply have to be here in Bad Dürkheim! We hadn't made a reservation, but spontaneously got a table for two people. Staff, food and drinks get a full five stars! I would go here again at any time!

Great atmosphere, stylish decor and the staff was friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty, compliments to the chef👏👌😊. Gladly again 🔝🔝🔝

This place has such a great vibe, and eating dinner inside a “barrel” was a fun experience. The service was top notch… our weight spoke English and was super attentive to our every need. The food was great, and the restaurant was immaculate. Definitely arrive early, because this place fills up very quickly after opening. And call well in advance (days or weeks) if you do wish to sit inside one of the barrels. I would go back, for sure.

Very tasty food, very nice and courteous service and of course a special ambience of eating in a "barrel".

We only looked at the barrel from the outside!

Delicious and good, very friendly service.

Nice service male and female. very uncomplicated and friendly

Great location, good food at decent prices......

Everyone was nice and friendly, great quick service, large portions, would be happy again

Das Riesenfaß gehört zu Bad Dürkheim wie der Dotter zum Ei. Es ist, wie der Name schon sagt, ist ein fassförmiges Gebäude. Es besitzt bei einem Durchmesser von 13,5 m ein Volumen von etwa 1.700.000 Litern und ist damit das größte Fass der Welt. Allerdings diente es nicht der Aufbewahrung von Flüssigkeiten sondern beherbergt von je her eine Gaststätte. Gebaut wurde es um 1934 aus insgesamt rund 200 m3 Holz aus dem Schwarzwald. Wer Bad Dürkheim Besucht, sollte sich unbedingt auch dieses Faß ansehen; es lohnt sich. Parken kann man übrigens direkt vor dem Faß; 3 Stunden sind dabei kostenfrei.

I can't rate the food, we just had something to drink. But what came out of the kitchen looked good and smelled delicious

Very nice restaurant, all furnished in a rustic wooden style, Local menu. Very friendly service. Good taste and decent portion size

Food is good, service is quick, it's 8 C outside and the heating isn't on so it quickly becomes uncomfortable 😕

The barrel itself is no longer a restaurant, but you can book a tour with the city. All that remains to evaluate is the external appearance.

Food is pre-cooked....was served immediately after ordering. Fried potatoes still raw and pork fillet with sauce without taste. 26.50 euros desserts on the house... frozen goods... boss wanted to take the bill... but I paid. Is totally set up for coaches. Service was very nice. But never again...there are wonderful restaurants nearby that prepare the food fresh.

Aufgewärmtes Essen, fad und lauwarm, Kantinenniveau, überbewertet, überteuert. Kein weiteres Mal, schade ums Geld und die Zeit…

Delicious dishes and drinks. Nice wine selection. Prices and performance are absolutely fine for such a location.

Super friendly and attentive service and great food Always my pleasure

We were guests for the fourth time today and certainly not the last time Great service and best wishes to the kitchen. The food was 🐷 delicious! Please keep it up 👍🏻
