Berggaststätte Hirschkaser in Ramsau b.Berchtesgaden

Very nice viewpoint and very nice restaurant

To reach the top you drive, walk or take a cable car. The views were amazing. There was a Catholic Mass taking place on top. Ordered food and it was amazing. The service was fantastic given there were so many people. It’s an amazing place.

The young waiter was very friendly and accommodating; I'll never forget the liver dumpling soup, it was so good!

A beautiful mountain restaurant with breathtaking views of the mountains. A must for connoisseurs!

In any case, you can enjoy your stay here.

Delicious food - very nice view 👍👍👍

I almost wanted to leave because all the waiters ignored me, but after that, things moved quickly. Presskasknödelsuppe (press cheese dumpling soup) and the finest 🍺. And that view.

Great view - beer tastes good too!

We sat down at a table with hardly any other guests. Nevertheless, the waiter clearly had no desire to serve us. After waiting for 15 minutes without any attention, we simply left. Such ignorance and unfriendliness is truly a disgrace!

Delicious food and generous portions—relatively expensive. Kaiserschmarren, at €18, is too expensive.

Good food, large portions. Super nice view.

A beautiful mountain restaurant with breathtaking views of the Watzmann and Hochkalter. The food is excellent, and the service and the host are wonderful people. We lost our cell phone in the restaurant and unfortunately didn't notice until after opening hours. The lift was no longer open, and we were 45 km away. The host brought the cell phone to the parking lot for us. What a wonderful and kind gesture. Our vacation was saved.

Probably my favourite mountain hut restaurant. I wanted to eat some knödelsuppe and a friend recommended hiking to here. The soup was excellent, service was great and the views are amazing. Really excellent place. Also you can pay by card.

A wonderful place. Excellent food for such a location, superbly friendly service, and a breathtaking panorama.

Three years have passed since our last visit... and it was worth it again. Very attentive and friendly waiters, the soups and the location were a dream. A lot has changed inside too, making it very appealing and modern... we'd love to come back.

Simply amazing restaurant/place with a breathtaking view. Recommended to all true hiking lovers. Staff is very kind and informative.

Great panoramic view. We had the best Kaiserschmarrn we've ever eaten. Super friendly service.

Significantly too expensive. A sweet breakfast of pancakes, a dollop of jam, and a croissant, including a mug of coffee, cost 25 (twenty-five) euros... ridiculous.

Wonderful panorama and super delicious food..❤️👍

Beautiful alpine pasture next to the chairlift. Very cozy, but very warm even in summer, as there's hardly any shade depending on where you sit. Prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, there was no option for a smaller portion of the Kaiserschmarrn, and despite asking, they refused. The Kaiserschmarrn was okay, but there have been much better ones.

A beautiful hike with magnificent views and great service!

Superb view... 360° views from all angles. The menu is perfect, and the staff is quick and friendly. I highly recommend this excursion.

What a beautiful location! Good selection of food and drinks, moderate prices. In good weather, it can get quite crowded up there, especially when the chairlift is running.

Very nice place with good service!

Basically, it's a beautiful, renovated, modern mountain hut. The view is excellent, and the prices are comparable to other larger huts. However, it's noticeable that, due to its location, the focus here is more on tourism than hiking. When asked, the staff couldn't tell where the buttermilk came from or whether the apple strudel was ready-made or freshly made. Everything tasted fine, but the cheese dumplings weren't as fresh or traditional as in other restaurants.

Beautiful view .. we took the chairlift up and hiked back down again .. everything was perfect

Super friendly and dedicated staff. The goulash soup was definitely one of the best I've ever tasted. My wife and children were also very happy with their schnitzel. The atmosphere is super cozy both inside and out. The restrooms are very well-maintained and clean.

A wonderful lunch with a stunning view, and friendly staff. We were surprised by a very emotional service. A huge compliment to the pastor and the musicians.

Yes, great view. Good value for money. Portions are good.

A very modern mountain restaurant with fantastic views of the Watzmann, delicious food, and very friendly service. They even took care of my lost wallet! 🫶🏽

This mountain restaurant is a 10/10, the staff are quick, friendly and very competent, the food is delicious and the view is a dream.

We've been hiking in this region for over 30 years, and we've visited the Hirschkaser on every vacation so far. Unfortunately, the service has deteriorated significantly in recent years – the staff are unfriendly and seem overwhelmed, even though the restaurant wasn't even particularly busy. Despite digital recording and billing of the meals, an excessive amount was charged. Although the menu clearly showed that the overcharge had been charged, the waiter promptly gave us the change but, instead of an apology, pointed out that they would review the video recordings (why would that be?!). The impression here is that the restaurant simply includes the tip it doesn't receive due to unfriendliness. We certainly won't be returning here on our future vacations.

It's declined significantly in recent years. The price/performance ratio isn't right. To top it all off, today the female waitress added €5 to the actual bill. After I confronted her about it and we looked at her computer system, she promptly gave me €5 back, saying, "She's looking at the video recordings." What's up with that????

We were there by bike. A lovely tour from the Mordaualmen pastures to the Hirschkaaser. The young man in Ramsau traditional costume served us very friendly. He had a cool mustache, by the way. The currywurst was a bit expensive at €15. Everything tasted perfectly fine. The cheese dumplings and apple strudel were both delicious. Fortunately, the prices are reasonable for the view and the location. Thank you for the hospitality.

A beautiful location with a magnificent view. Very good food, especially the Kaiserschmarrn. Friendly service, a successful trip.

Very good food. Great view. Friendly staff.

Nice staff, good food, value for money👍, and wonderful view

Five stars says it all, and you can hear the dialect again and see a pretty waitress. 😁

This incredibly well-renovated mountain restaurant is in the upper price range. The ingredients are fresh and high-quality, so the prices are reasonable. The portions are generous. When the weather is good, the terrace offers a fantastic view of the valley. The restaurant can be reached either on foot or by chairlift.

April 1st and the last gasp and the hut was still open. We were alone.

I truly spent five wonderful days here. The rooms are very clean, the staff very friendly, and the owners are typically gruff, Bavarian, but at heart, they're very kind and helpful people. Unfortunately, my puppy nibbled on the wooden chair in the restaurant without anyone noticing, and the owner was very fair in her response. The food is delicious and always fresh. The view of the Watzmann and the Ramsau region is absolutely unique. Thank you for the wonderful time with you. I'll be back!

Traveling by train is relatively inexpensive. ~20€. The view when you are at the top of the mountain pasture is inimitable. Wonderful panorama all around. Everything was beautifully done, the service was attentive. We're only here for vacation, but this is the nicest stop in the Berchtesgaden area so far.

Service takes longer, unfriendly. Food different than on the menu. Kaiserschmarrn €18 is the most expensive thing I've seen so far. The inn just has a unique selling point. Quite a short hike.

Very good food for a mountain inn

The perfect place to enjoy a dream day with the best view of the Berchtesgaden mountains! The prices are great, despite the higher costs of purchasing food due to the mountain location. The chef does his job great👌 as do the friendly staff and the innkeepers!!!

Great view. Great service. Unfortunately we were full. But next time we'll eat

At first I had a good impression of the Hirschkaser: the location and view are simply amazing, the restaurant is cozy and the staff seemed competent. I personally spoke to one boss (of 2 bosses) about a seasonal job, which he immediately agreed to. I, on the other hand, needed a short time to think about it and agreed to speak to him by phone in the next few days. At our first meeting he gave me the choice of whether I wanted to work there illegally or registered, which made me a little suspicious. When he replied to my telephone promise that I should please contact him again a week before starting work so that he wouldn't forget me, I finally had a strange feeling about the whole thing. Since I didn't have a written confirmation and a few questions about the job remained unanswered, I wrote him an email a few weeks later. He responded with the words "I'm no longer up at Hirschkaser and no longer in Germany. I wish you personally all the best." At first I lost my breath for a moment and it was very obvious that something was going very wrong... He then forwarded me to the other boss, to whom I sent an email, which went unanswered. So after a few days I called the restaurant, where I was brushed off in a rather unfriendly manner due to the large number of visitors and they promised to call me again in the evening. According to their own statements, they had already read my email at the time, but probably saw no need to respond to me. Of course, I didn't receive a call in the evening and I contacted them again the next day, where they shut me down with similar words as the day before and told me that I could write another email. With the last shred of goodwill I did, but again I got no answer. I imagined a seasonal job up there would be really nice, but if the bosses/staff are incompetent, unreliable, unfriendly and don't play with open cards, it just can't be fun, it's a shame. I'll definitely hike to the restaurant one or two more times to see the breathtaking view, but I won't support the Hirschkaser with another cent...

a wonderful restaurant, the staff is very pleasant and kind.. the food is delicious 🙂 I would definitely recommend everyone to visit if they have the opportunity..

Waited over an hour for the food, even though only half of the tables were occupied, then everything came out at different times, sometimes not properly warm. Staff unfriendly, one waitress even downright rude. The food was good, but totally overpriced. A portion of chips was 7 euros. The toilets were dirty. But the tourists will keep coming. As a local, I will take my snack up with me in the future.

Beautiful view. We can't judge the food because it was too full and there weren't enough staff so no orders were taken. But service was friendly. You can pay by card.

We took a break from tobogganing here. Even though it was really full, we easily got a table and were served quickly. The staff is super structured and friendly. The prices are rather high, but appropriate for the location. The food tasted good.

We reserved 2 days in advance via Google and also received a confirmation by email. When we arrived 15 minutes before the reservation, we were initially left standing in the entrance unnoticed for 10 minutes. Only after we actively spoke to the waitress ourselves were we simply seated at a table where people were already sitting to "wait" for another 10 minutes. Since groups were constantly passing us and sitting down, we decided to actively approach the staff again 15 minutes later and were then led to a table in the main room where a family was leaving. Here again is a table that was already used by another group at the same time. They hadn't even wiped the table top, which still had pieces of salt and other crumbs on it. Again we spent another 15 minutes unnoticed while people who came after us were able to place their orders before us, so we placed our order ourselves at the entrance. The food came relatively quickly, but the starter soup was served to us together with the main course, which inevitably meant that one of the two dishes had to be eaten more or less cold. There was no dessert because more than half of the food was already gone at lunchtime and we didn't want to wait any longer. When we wanted to pay, we also waited in vain until we finally decided to pay at the exit. A "plus" for the view, which we didn't have despite having a reservation, and the fact that you could pay by card. The food itself was delicious, but you're definitely paying for the location/view and the fact that there's no other competition locally. We were very happy because of the positive reviews, but unfortunately we will not be coming back due to the chaotic conditions, the poor service and the unpleasant background noise. What a shame!

Unfortunately it was self-service and there was no food at our time because there was too much going on. Still super nice surroundings and views and nice staff.

A few days ago we went tobogganing with the kids and were looking forward to a cozy stop - that was far from it. Only self-service (although the hut is clearly not designed for this), totally overwhelmed staff and absolutely exorbitant prices. It took 1 hour 30 from queuing to serving the food. For 3 main courses and 2 drinks leave over €70. Unfortunately that was the last time! Too bad!

The prices there are amazing, a Kaiserschmarren for 18€ is more than outrageous and that has nothing to do with expensive food!! The service is total Overwhelmed and not at all pleasant to sit and then leave €100 as a family until everyone has something to eat and drink - no thanks!

First of all: great food! You can't criticize the kitchen! But the prices are now almost outrageous and the waitresses are sometimes quite snippy (and overwhelmed here and there). Knowledge of German…for free! But: if, for example, you order a drink, get something else and mention it, the answer shouldn't be: "We haven't had that for half a year!" If I then counter that it's on the menu today, then it's " But it still tasted good, didn’t it?” absolutely unacceptable as an answer. I wasn't aware of spontaneous changes to opening times either... "The kitchen is now closed for half an hour, you can order again from 3 p.m.!" Well, but if you just want to stop in quickly, that's not okay either. The prices are too high for that... Above all, there is nothing about it on the menu. Also not: kitchen closes at 4:30 p.m. with the last descent. If you could write it down, no one would complain! But as an annoyed comment from the waitress…difficult. You can't rest too much on the monopoly situation (otherwise there won't be an inn there, so you HAVE to go there), otherwise the guests will stay away at some point...

You can't beat it when it comes to unfriendliness!! Food great! View priceless!

Fantastically beautiful landscape Food and staff very good Gladly again....

Great restaurant, newly renovated. Prices are high but justified given the view.

Super nice place for a Sunday coffee up there. I'd love to come back!

As always wonderful and very friendly staff. Room with a great panoramic view of the Watzmann.

Sorry, the hospitality and service were catastrophic. The waiter was unfriendly, as we have never experienced it before. 1 hour waiting time for a wheat beer, Kaiserschmarrn was not possible at all. Overall impression completely overwhelmed and unstructured.

- Great food - Conditions could show and express more kindness - wonderful view

18 euros for Kaiserschmarrn and 5.80 for a wheat beer 😡 Did I miss something? I like to carry my snack and beer back up the mountain myself.

Very cozy, modern restaurant with a great view. Recommended.

Friendly and courteous employees

Super delicious food, nice service and an amazing view. Definitely worth it. We'd love to come back. 👍

Absolutely recommended! We bought a combination ticket, uphill and downhill ride including food and a drink. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the food is very good and plentiful. The staff is quick and very nice. Everything was very, very clean and high quality. Because the waiter had forgotten our order, the boss gave us a delicious drink. Nevertheless, everything went off quite quickly and friendly. However, the signs for the hiking trails up here are not clear, so you should inquire in advance.

Best view of the Watzmann. Unfortunately it is now very overpriced. Of course a lot has been invested in a Kaiserschmarren but offering it for just under €20 speaks volumes...

Beautiful all-round view of the Berchtesgaden Alps

schönes Wetter, die Hütte war voll, wir konnten nur Getränke bestellen, Essen hätten wir erst 20 Minuten später bestellen können. Als wir das monierten war der angebliche Wirt sauer und ließ uns einfach sitzen ohne Getränke und später meinte er, wir sollen gehen. Den Gästen am nächsten Tisch ging es genauso, konnten auch kein Essen bestellen. Der "Wirt" war heillos überfordert. Die Preise total überzogen.

I don't understand this 4.5 star rating. Waiters are blind, waiting time to order is about 30 minutes. Then wait 20 minutes until the drinks arrive and you don't even have to start eating. There are more beautiful destinations than the Hirschkaser

The view is enchanting, but the following problem became noticeable on a Sunday afternoon. Service poor due to inadequate specialist staff, service staff incompetent, not stress-resistant and unfriendly. Waiting times beyond good and bad even the snow melted on the glacier faster than the beer was on the table. I couldn't even think about eating.

Beautiful economy, great view and super nice service, we would love to come back. Thanks

Unfortunately I can't rate the food, so we sat at the table for three quarters of an hour and waited in vain for the waitress to find some time for us. I can understand it when there are only two people serving and it's quite full, but that wasn't the case today. After we were completely ignored, we just left again, because someone else earned my money today and rightly so. 👎

Enjoy your meal Panorama great Service was very nice and dogs were friendly towards my huskies Come back

A beautiful atmospheric place, with amazing views, relaxation, taste and soothing the eyes. I recommend.

Food price/performance fits. The view from up there is fantastic

On the "Toter Mann" mountain you also have a fantastic view of the mountains (including the Watzmann) from the Hirschkaser mountain restaurant. We ate cheese dumpling soup and salad with two cheese dumplings on the terrace. Both dishes were delivered very friendly and quickly. Everything tasted great. To top it all off, there was 1x Kaiserschmarrn (freshly made), which was served hot. We rarely ate the Schmarrn (without raisins) as well as we did up there. There was plenty in the bowl and we enjoyed the Kaiserschmarrn for two. A compliment to the kitchen for the diverse enjoyment at lofty heights.

We didn't eat anything, but everyone was friendly and nice.

Very cozy. Newly renovated. Great view and delicious food.

The service is not good and there are untrained, non-German speaking assistants. Service in the catering industry is different.

An incredible panoramic view of the surrounding mountains.

After a waiting period of 20 minutes, drinks were consumed for the first time, followed by food after another 20 minutes. After all the surrounding guests received their food after another 25 minutes, the waiter noticed that we still hadn't received any food. The waiters also came by very rarely. After we were told that our food would now be passed on to the kitchen, it was too much. No apology, just understanding that we will now leave. Oh, the starter that the waiter wanted to charge for didn't come either. We wanted to eat here, not worth recommending, very poor service, no customer orientation. Because of the question below Kaiserschmarren was out.

A very unfriendly waiter. I feel sorry for the managing director who has employees like that.

Reachable by cable car or on foot. A great view of the mountains invites you to linger. Food is good but more expensive than elsewhere. Nevertheless, it is worth a trip.

Very nice service and very good food 😋

Very nicely located..Delicious food..beautiful view..Friendly staff..

Nice barracks with a great view, but I think the pricing is a disgrace... far too expensive!!! As a local, I know a lot of alpine pastures, huts and barracks, most of them in even more exposed locations, but they don't dare to pay €18 for Kaiserschmarrn or €7 for a few fries! Too bad!!!

Great view in front of the restaurant with the opportunity for a photo shoot. Food is very tasty. Three years ago there was also a Kaiserschmarrn with raisins. I was looking forward to it and was a little disappointed that it's no longer the case. The liver dumpling soup was also very tasty.

Super friendly staff, very well-kept atmosphere and really tasty.... 😋 totally recommended

Super friendly service. The food and the surroundings are unique.

Beautiful view, accessible on foot or by lift.

Newly renovated mountain inn. Beautifully made inside and outside there is a terrace with 3 sides that just leaves you amazed by the panorama. The seating on the right side was a bit uncomfortable and didn't match the interior. Toilets were in the basement, everything was sparkling clean. The staff today were 3 gentlemen, all very accommodating, friendly, funny and competent despite the lack of staff and stress. Unfortunately there was no Kaiserschmarrn today. We had yeast dumplings, apple strudel and a schnitzel. The fries were legendary. Everything was very delicious. The price was pretty steep...13 euros for a yeast dumpling...but good, here you eat for the view. The cable car is not really fun in summer, you sit in the bright sun for over 20 minutes, there is no weather cover over the seat and so it was very tiring. If you didn't have a cap on your head, you probably had a headache in the evening. The employees at the lift were very friendly and helpful. We had 2 dogs with us and traveled in 2 armchairs. Parking is also subject to a fee

Great view 360 degrees, just mountains!!! But we took the chairlift up to the big barbecue evening on Fridays until 10 p.m. to enjoy dinner. Then at 7 p.m. we wanted to order grilled cevapcici and got a short, succinct answer: "They're all already!" We asked because the barbecue evening lasted until 10 p.m.!!! The “innkeeper” said succinctly and very unfriendly that we could come back again and goodbye. We sat at the table speechless because of such insolence and arrogance. That's not how you treat guests. He didn't even apologize or offer an alternative. Live music should start at 7 p.m., even 20 minutes later and 1 song - break - 1 song - break...... We would give the innkeeper a straight 6 and not give a positive recommendation for hospitality.

Vornweg: Berggaststätte Hirschkaser absolut keine Empfehlung!!! Haben uns auf den für jeden Freitag beworbenen Grillabend mit Livemusik bis 22 Uhr beim Hirschkaser entschieden. Extra dafür war der Sessellift bis 20 Uhr in Betrieb. (2 Erw. Hin/Rück 42 Euro) Waren 17.30 Uhr dann beim Hirschkaser. Ab 18 Uhr war Bestellung für Grillgut möglich. 19 Uhr haben wir dann Grillgut bestellen wollen,,,,,aber Grillgut war bereits alle, obwohl nur 32 Gäste anwesend waren. Den Wirt darauf angesprochen, gab es nur die unhöfliche Antwort, "vielleicht beim nächsten mal. Genießt dafür die schöne Aussicht" Übrigens die für 19 Uhr angekündigte Livemusik begann um 19:18 Uhr mit einem Titel, danach erst mal wieder 10 Minuten Pause. Sind nach dem zweiten Titel 19:35 zurück zur Seilbahn. Liebe Leute, "Jeden Freitag Grillabend beim Hirschkaser", vergesst dieses angepriesene Event!

Great mountain hut with sensational views, friendly staff.

Fantastic view. Ice cream chocolate was very tasty, but at €9.90 it wasn't exactly cheap either!

Fantastic view and very fast and friendly staff. However, I found almost 20€ for Kaiserschmarrn and 10€ for an ice cream chocolate to be a bit expensive. Still highly recommended

You come back from your hike, look forward to eating and are ignored. After 30 minutes we left again. I don't have to beg for more attention. When the waiter sits down with the guests to chat and the waitress gets some ice cream, then something is wrong. All the best to you
