Bad Dürkheimer Fass in Bad Dürkheim

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 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!

Nice service male and female. very uncomplicated and friendly

Delicious and good, very friendly service.

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

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…

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

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 👍🏻

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

We were there with a very large group, the service was very professional and good. The food was great,

Really nice staff. The food is very good with a reasonable price.

If you are in Bad Dürkheim you should see it.

A great evening in the Palatinate. Great ambience, attentive service and tasty food. A great location for a spontaneous stop. Gladly again! Very friendly waiter, that makes visiting a restaurant fun.

We wanted to see the inside of the barrel and have some food in the barrel. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible. A barrel viewing is only possible with a pre-booked sightseeing tour with admission tickets. There is no longer a restaurant directly in the barrel. The attached restaurant was very full and loud when we visited, so we didn't feel like it.

If the Palz is Palatinate, then here. Barrier-free access to the cozy restaurant. We had Palatinate dishes and a spritzer 🤤 Great service and reasonable prices. We always enjoy coming here. Many thanks to the entire team 🙏 Your palatinator 😎🎶

On weekends we strongly recommend that you reserve a table. Otherwise it could happen that you don't get a place because everything is fully booked.

Good food and drink in great surroundings👍🍗🥨🌭🍻🤩

After calling several times to make a reservation, I couldn't be reached over several days, then on site staff were fully booked days in advance so they didn't answer the phone, so that can't be the case...

Beautiful but restaurant less so

We have been here several times and I can only warmly recommend it. Very tasty food (I had the liver dumplings with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut) and a large portion at reasonable prices (around €17). The drink prices are also rather low compared to other restaurants. (Large bottle of water costs 5-6€, somewhere else it easily costs 7-8€). The service was very attentive and friendly, food and drink came quickly despite the high number of people.

Been trying to get someone on the phone to make a reservation for 4 hours. Juice shop, you can eat what you don't sell yourself. Went there and were badly turned away. This restaurant is only suitable for coaches

I can highly recommend....Portions are very good at an affordable price with a great ambience.

Unfortunately you can only enter the barrel after booking for events. The little restaurant next to it was quite nice.

Disrespectful service, apparently due to a lack of staff.

We came with three families with children at around 2:30 p.m. and wanted some warm food. After the waitress told us we could sit down, the manager of the house finally turned us away, saying “everything was full”. But there were clearly three tables free for the next 1.5 hours. What a shame!! It leaves a bad aftertaste because of the family friendliness.

Highly recommended. Unfortunately, it's difficult to get a place, but that also speaks for the quality and unfortunately is also due to the lack of staff

Very cozy atmosphere; attentive, friendly service, delicious food!

We were there with a group of around 35 people and were only allowed to order from the bus menu. Selection is very limited and the price is more expensive. Comparison of side dishes: salad + small (mini) schnitzel = €19, schnitzel including salad and sauces €17.50. In addition, the service was unfriendly and it didn't taste good either

There isn't much negative to say about the food, unfortunately not much positive about the service... We won't be visiting the restaurant again any time soon

Originelles Ambiente im 1934 von Keller erbauten Riesenfass, auch kleinere Portionen erhältlich, hab Pfälzischen Saumagen klein bestellt mit Weinsauerkraut und Püree, dazu ein Glas vom neuen Wein; empfehlenswerte Küche, lässt nur manchmal etwas lange auf sich warten.

Any time. Price performance is right, service fantastic. Highly recommended 🤗🤗🤗

Yes on the outside, never been inside.

We have been here for the umpteenth time and can only say: TOP!!! Reception top, service top, food top. Full marks and KEEP UP!!!!!!!

We have been coming here for more than 15 years to eat when we are in the area. Too bad that, with the change of ownership, it is no longer the same. The menu has remained the same, but once the dishes are on the table you clearly notice the difference. Hopefully they will recover, because in the end only tourists will come and they will continue to live on their past glory. The service is ok, but they admit that they have been told several times that things are deteriorating.

As usual, the food is good and the waitresses are nice and very attentive

Everything was good and comfortable.

We were greeted with the words, everything outside was full, there were only seats left inside, even though there were only two people sitting at many tables. I asked if we could sit down and the first table said yes. Two very nice ladies and so we immediately started talking. There is a new chef here and the ladies wanted to try it out. First we ordered Riesling spritzers, which were very good. The ladies' food came and it smelled very good and we were confirmed that it tasted that way too. We ordered and were not disappointed, no tourist food, but very tasty, homemade, tasteful and a really big portion. It was perfect, highly recommended!!!

Despite reserving a table, we had to wait outside the door 😬. The promised reserved table in one of the cute little barrels couldn't be guaranteed. We had to sit in the next room, very impersonal. Then we gave up drinks and food, which came very quickly, despite having ordered an appetizer. Immediately everyone came to order food. Food, medallion was very, very dry, in a dish with fries, the oil was very used up, champions from a can, very unappetizing. The dessert before the digestif was excellent. “The landmark” Dürkheimer Fass was a very big disappointment in terms of food and drinks.

Celebrated my 40th birthday in the Bad Dürkheimer Riesenfass. All my guests were very satisfied. The food tasted great and the service was A1. Despite the busy restaurant and the large number of guests on my part, the food arrived and was at the table at the same time. Can highly recommend the giant barrel. Would love to come back.

Beautifully located restaurant with comfortable outdoor seating. Unfortunately the food wasn't convincing today. The fries were too dry and had too much oil. As if they had been sitting all day or had been heated several times. The chicken pieces in the salad were also not cooked through. After a few bites you could feel the raw meat. Pretty uncomfortable and a no-go. Overall, today's visit was a disappointment with so many reviews recommending it.

The food was great! I haven't eaten so well in a long time.

Drank a wine spritzer in a good atmosphere in the garden. Gladly again .

Eating carelessly on the plate. Nothing special. It's just a tourist booth.

A well-known restaurant with a long tradition. Good Palatinate food in the standard range. Everything OK.

Very, very good and very friendly..

Finally got a table after a long time. Very professional service. My food (Jägerschnitzel) was absolutely fine. Schnitzels are sometimes problematic in the Palatinate.

Wir haben dort auf der Rückreise in den Norden zu Abend gegessen. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, hatten unsere Platz in einem der kleinen Fässchen. Die Speisekarte ist sehr abwechslungsreich und die Pfälzer Spezialitäten fehlen natürlich nicht auf der Karte. Die Leberknödel sind fantastisch. Blut und Leberwurst super lecker

Everything okay and in order 👍 👍

Unfortunately you couldn't go into the barrel.

Super great here. (Not anymore) 19 years in a row. And next time (never) again. And we were there again (for the last time). Nice service, yes that was it. But not as great as with the old owner. We, four friends, always went there to eat. Always consumed for around 80 euros. But our new location has been tested and we'll go there next WUMA.

Delicious. Been there during the sausage market. I can only recommend it to everyone.

Really cozy and very fun to eat in a wine barrel that can contain 1,700,000 liters of wine. Well done. We ate in a barrel in a barrel.

It's a shame how rudely the gentleman in front of the door treats guests. You ask politely whether a table is free or when the tables outside will be occupied. There were probably 10 tables free. And he sends us away in a rude, condescending manner. The wording was bottom drawer. We traveled an extra 438km. We'll never go here again! Not recommended!

A beautiful and atmospheric place. The food is delicious.

We thought: well, it's just a tourist spot, high prices, mediocre food... FAR FROM THE MISS: Absolutely reasonable prices (delicate Saumagen15 €), delicious cuisine (great salad dressing, great onion soup) and 50 (!!!) open wines of all classes. YOU CAN LOOK FOR THIS IN ALSACE 🙃

We felt very comfortable here. 🤌👌👍

We were in the garden part. The road wasn't visible thanks to the bushes, but it was busy and therefore loud, so half a star was deducted.

Very good food at an acceptable price. Friendly and competent service and very fast cuisine. The first but not the last time visited.

Very nice barrel stylishly furnished. The service is nice, the food (onion soup) was very bad. But people also responded and tasted the soup. Since they found that I was right, I didn't have to pay for the soup.

Very pleasant atmosphere and good food + friendly staff. The prices are adjusted to a spa location

I've eaten at the barrel several times in recent years. But this time I was more than disappointed. The food was folded in a careless, tasteless manner. Fried potatoes half raw. Sauerkraut lukewarm dry fried. I will avoid this restaurant in the future. There is no relationship between price and performance.

Mega delicious food and super friendly service! The atmosphere is of course unique and indescribable. Definitely worth a visit. :)

We were there yesterday. The food was very tasty and the staff was very friendly and quick, even with a full house. Always my pleasure

The kitchen would have to work on paying attention to the orders and also be careful when serving the food! I ordered a salad without yoghurt dressing and I also know that the waiter took it that way and gave it that way with yoghurt, and the salad also had some rotten leaves! Otherwise nothing to complain about, the waiter was great, easy to find and very friendly!!! Keep it up young man 👍👍👌👌👏👏👏

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... the "Winzer or similar. I'm sorry, because the service staff is friendly... unfortunately the price-performance ratio is no longer right... it's a shame

For this as they always praise the location, it's a complete disaster. Service none, food less than average and drinks okay, it these are thanks god not made by them. I have never seen such an unfriendly staff. Germany mutates to a more and more unfriendly, unreliable and more than expensive for the value for money country. The owners become more greedy and they know customers will at least come once to such a place. I can recommend to the owner, enter close it and be good with it!

We took a Sunday trip to the Dürkheimer Riesenfass, it was beautiful, always nice to look at.

Nice atmosphere, quick, nice service. The food was tasty and sufficient.

Food good, ambience good, prices rather high

We wanted to go for a drink at lunchtime on August 10, 2024. We also told the waitress in the beer garden that. She only had no free table to drink. We could still dine at a table for 4 where 2 guests would eat. That wasn't a problem for us. The whole thing was communicated so arrogantly and arrogantly by the service staff that we decided not to give this restaurant a cent more. Instead we had a very good meal in a great restaurant in the pedestrian zone. Nowadays you should treat your guests differently.

Now again a great place to stop off - also for us people from Palatinate :-) Delicious food and also great little things, coffee machine one of the few clever ones in the area 😊👌🏼

Delicious food and really super friendly service staff :)

First of all: An official biker meeting. Bikers Welcome. That's great! Food is Palatinate, we like that. Prices are reasonable. There are even tours of the barrel. The story behind it is exciting. Definitely something special. Lots of parking spaces, recently chargeable. Our law enforcement officers are quick, so don't forget your parking ticket 😁

There were five of us and the food came super quickly. It tasted wonderful and the portions were very large. Absolutely recommended!

Impressive building from the outside

Ok-ish food for slightly high prices. Not terrible, but also nothing special. The medallions were a bit dry, anche their sauce covered every other taste in the plate.

Very nice, nice service, great food

Eat delicious Palatinate cheese. Prices are ok and the food was quick and still hot. Top happy to resist.

The service was very friendly but seemed overwhelmed that day. Drinks were forgotten twice and the wrong one was brought once.

The restaurant is very original and almost a must when visiting Bad Dürkheim. Service extremely friendly and patient. We were a relatively large group and it was difficult to decide between all the Palatinate specialties. It's great that there are also small portions of most dishes. I thought my food was good but not great. The sauerkraut was still too raw. The mashed potatoes are too thick. The sausages are subtly bland. The others were impressed with their food. I guess it's just a matter of taste

Food is simply delicious. We had a typical Palatinate plate. Very tasty. Wine spritzer is a must 😉 a visit to Bad Dürkheim is worth it.

The service was wonderfully attentive, even despite the shift change there was no rush and we were served straight away. The cuisine was excellent! The Palatinate dishes were super tasty and we had absolutely no complaints about the rest; on the contrary, we were thrilled. I would also like to highlight the wine tastings: the opportunity to test many of the wines is a great idea and everyone can find a selection there to suit their wine preferences. Definitely worth a visit!

Of course, a very special ambience and entrance gate to beautiful sites in the Palatinate, such as the Isenachweiher, the Limburg, the Hardenburg, the Drachenfels

The Dürkheimer Riesenfass is an absolute highlight and a must for every visitor to the region! This impressive structure is not only the largest wine barrel in the world, but also offers a unique atmosphere that you won't quickly forget. The interior of the barrel is stylishly designed and is a great place to eat and drink. The menu offers a great selection of regional dishes that are excellently prepared. The wines are particularly worth mentioning - after all, you are in a wine barrel! The service is friendly and courteous and you feel completely at home. Whether for a cozy dinner or a special occasion, the Dürkheimer Riesenfass is the perfect place. The combination of historical flair, delicious food and good wine makes the visit an unforgettable experience. I can highly recommend it to everyone!

Delicious food and nice service!

We made a reservation here and everything from the service to the food was great. The waiter recommended the apple rings as a dessert and I was really impressed. I can only recommend it.

The taste of the food was quite good Extremely little for the price No bread/baguette was served with the salad only upon request Swapped food/drinks with neighboring table

It was very tasty, would go again, very friendly.

Very tasty food, you can sit outside in summer (you should avoid the places right on the street; they can be loud) and otherwise of course in the iconic interior of the giant barrel. Service very friendly and attentive, but sometimes overloaded during busy times. We always enjoy coming back.

We ate very well here and the portions were generous. Both starter soups were tasty (beef broth and zuchini cream soup from the daily menu). We were all impressed by the various main courses and we almost had difficulty eating everything. Despite being busy, the service was very attentive and quick.

Tourist attraction. Advance order is absolutely necessary. Nice beer garden. Prices and food good.

Wonderful location in the barrel, good food from the Palatinate. Definitely recommended
