Bullerjahn in Göttingen

The food (a variety of steaks) was tasty, though some pieces were a bit overcooked. The fries were delicious, but the fried potatoes were lukewarm and not crispy. The service was friendly but somewhat forgetful. The ambiance is nice, but despite having a reservation and plenty of free tables, we were seated in a rather secluded spot.

I was rather disappointed with the meals I ordered; they lacked finesse and (particular) flavor, I expected more! The service was inattentive; we waited a long time, and when we had finished eating, the plates remained on the table for ages before being cleared, even though the restaurant was practically empty. There is certainly more potential in this otherwise beautiful and nicely decorated location, both in terms of the food and the service.

Excellent food, drink (recommend the self made lemonade) and atmosphere.

We've been to Bullerjahn many times in recent years and have never been disappointed, but this time neither the food nor the service was satisfactory. The Einbeck beer soup was nothing but mustard soup. There was no taste of either the beer or any base, be it beef or vegetable broth. They completely forgot to serve the goose consommé. Instead, they served the goose with red cabbage and dumplings. The goose was quite dry and sat atop a small mound of red cabbage surrounded by three tiny dumplings. I don't know why they skimped on the side dishes. Needless to say, the goose eaters left the table hungry. The same goes for the person who ordered the pork ribs. The number of ribs on the plate was meager, as was the side dish: a very small portion of fries. We waited an hour and a half for the food, which didn't even fill us up. And then there were problems with the payment. It took a very, very long time before each of us received the correct bill.

Expensive, not particularly good, and unfortunately my appetizer was forgotten despite two requests!

We stopped in Göttingen just for lunch, and it was well worth it. As part of a trip from Leipzig to Kassel, we stopped at the Bullerjahn restaurant in Göttingen. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the dining room is a blend of modern and classic styles. It's perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. Friendly staff and a delicious lunch made our visit to the Bullerjahn complete. All in all, a delightful lunch with the Christmas market right at the entrance. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

It was a quarter of a goose breast for full price. Skimping on the portion size is the wrong way to win customers. I'm used to larger portions in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. The service and atmosphere were okay.

Very small portions of decent food, but for me definitely not better than significantly cheaper restaurants.

We had a wonderful evening at Restaurant Bullerjahn. The atmosphere is cozy, the food excellent, and the service superb. Highly recommended – we'll definitely be back!

Great atmosphere, very friendly service, and delicious food. And they even made it possible to get a table when it was fully booked. Thank you for the lovely evening.

I had an excellent dinner here my first night in Göttingen. Lovely space, good service and great food. I had the roasted pork knuckle. Delicious. Vegan colleague was pleased with the menu as well.

We were there on Sunday with a group of 10. The atmosphere was excellent. We were served quickly, and the waiter was very friendly. Since the food was also outstanding, we can only give it full marks. Keep it up!

Great restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere. Good value for money, top quality food.

Good food, great atmosphere, friendly service – all good. The prices are a bit higher compared to other restaurants of the same quality, but that's okay. I still preferred the Ratskeller, but it's recommendable.

Great location, authentic food, but portions are a bit small and the kitchen closes early.

Really poor service, the food is okay but nothing special. We waited almost 1 hour to get the food and it didn't arrive at the same time dor the table. The vegan options were small and really expensive. Now, when we had to pay they came immediately.

Fast service, delicious food and fair prices.

We had something to celebrate, and a better place would have been hard to find. Nine people, a great table, delicious food, and very friendly staff. An unforgettable evening, we'd love to come back! Michael

Dear Bullerjahn Team, We have dined at your restaurant a few times and were previously satisfied. Today, however, we dined with our family and were very disappointed. The chairs were covered in breakfast crumbs, and the table hadn't been wiped. The food took an hour to arrive. The appetizer, Camembert with toast, was not cooked (it was frozen solid), and the toast wasn't toasted as usual. After complaining, it arrived as expected, at least cooked. The main courses came with inadequate side dishes. The fries were just the leftover bits from the bag. We sent those back as well. The portions were generally rather small and not filling enough for adults. Your beautiful and inviting ambiance suffered considerably due to broken toilet locks and a broken/hanging soap dispenser, which we had to fix ourselves as best we could. Some of the staff tried their best and apologized for the issues, citing a lack of qualified personnel. Unfortunately, this is a poor excuse for the price we paid. Even after directly addressing the issue, there was no attempt to resolve the problem.

We were a large group (>20) and had pre-ordered our meal. We were all very pleased with the restaurant. The location and setting are wonderful, the menu was well priced and the food very good. We also appreciated the good service and excellent communication beforehand.

We had a large group and the staff kept up….tasty food.

The ambiance is lovely and the welcome was friendly. The main course, sauerbraten on savoy cabbage with mashed potatoes, was delicious and beautifully presented. The dessert, however, was a complete disappointment: The Kaiserschmarrn arrived less than five minutes after ordering – and it tasted exactly as bad. Cold, uninspired, and clearly a pre-made product. Completely unacceptable for €10. Even worse was the reaction to my complaint: Instead of apologizing or offering a solution, the whole thing was simply smiled away. That's no way to treat guests. It's a shame about the lovely atmosphere – with this kind of service and attitude, I certainly won't be returning.

It was simply fantastic, the food was delicious, thank you Henrik for the wonderful evening. We'd love to come back again.

The breakfast for two is very generous and delicious. However, two more small rolls would be nice. But you can order them separately. I'd gladly come again!

Excellent German cuisine at a superb price. A lovely atmosphere and outstanding service complete the culinary experience! A little tip: for €15, under the heading "The Göttingen Seven" you'll find delicious set menus to suit every taste!

Ate a delicious, expensive currywurst. When the restaurant is packed, it gets quite loud in the cellar vault.

Fast and friendly service, delicious food, and a wide variety of beers to suit every taste. I'd happily recommend it.

The food was delicious, congratulations to the kitchen, and the beer was tasty too. The staff was friendly. The absolute highlight, however, is the view of the vaulted cellar. It's simply wonderful to be able to stay in such a historic building. Unfortunately, many people may not be fully aware of this.

Since Restaurant Bullerjahn deleted my last review without comment from Google due to defamation, I would now like to take this opportunity, after careful consideration and profound reflection, to distance myself from my previous opinion and formally apologize to the restaurant owners. To remind you of the odious words I once used about my visit to Restaurant Bullerjahn, here is the (now deleted) review again in full: "★★ The price/performance ratio is barely adequate, the service was rather careless, and the food was quite cold. Service type: Dine-in Type of meal: Dinner Price per person: €20–30" I would like to make it absolutely clear at this point that I distance myself as much as possible from this review, which a less mature and experienced version of myself wrote in the past out of pure resentment. ``` I had no idea what disastrous consequences such a slanderous and poisonous review could have for the Bullerjahn Restaurant, which I have come to hold in high esteem. Furthermore, I would like to thank the restaurant's owners for not pursuing legal action in the face of such baseless and malicious defamation and simply instructing Google to delete the review. I also understand that you didn't contact me beforehand; if you were me, my anger would have been too great for clear and clarifying words. Finally, I would like to take the liberty of amending my last review (which has since been deleted on behalf of the restaurant) to reflect my newfound and deep respect for the establishment: The price/performance ratio is perfect, WITHOUT COMPROMISES, the waiters were more like demigods walking on earth, and the food was ABSOLUTELY TOP-NOTCH. Out of sheer shame, however, I will never go there again.

The roulade for €22.90 was tough. The service was very friendly, though. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

We went to the Bullerjahn for a business lunch with some foreign guests. The selection was good, the service was super friendly, and the food was delicious. We particularly enjoyed the beer tasting. A definite "like," and we'll be back!

The food was mediocre, actually bad for the price. Service was unfriendly, and criticism was handled with no response at all, neither apologies nor any corrections. The service was barely present, and we forgot our drink orders. Despite the nice ambiance, we won't be coming back.

A wonderful evening with delicious food and very friendly service. I highly recommend it. Thank you very much.

Very friendly service, great food & value for money, bilingual menu, highly recommended: Hirschrudel! Many beers, nice atmosphere & music.

The company party provided a very relaxed and delicious evening in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended.

Excellent cuisine, friendly staff, and in the heart of Göttingen.

Very atmospheric and delicious 😋

Went there for a quick beer tasting, but unfortunately, all five beers arrived at the table not exactly cold. However, a freshly ordered wheat beer was nice and cold and delicious. Watch the temperature, and otherwise, send it back. Service was very friendly—the location is also great.

Our visit was unfortunately a bit disappointing. It started with the waiter not smiling when greeting us, and we felt completely overwhelmed when assigning a table in the large room. Barbecue utensils and gas bottles were lined up in the hallway, as if it were a storage room. The waiter burned himself on a candle while putting down glasses. A dismal birthday greeting from the waiter. The food was a little too underwhelming for the location... Dry schnitzel with fries and cucumber salad, and a drop of cranberries. Unimaginative. The food we wanted was unfortunately out of stock. Wine was served in a plastic bag for cooling, with water in it, and the cold water dripped over the food when you poured it in. Not nice either. Overall, a great location, but the food definitely has room for improvement.

We came here for dinner today with 14 people. However, the restaurant was not to our satisfaction. The food was okay, nothing special. The price was generally unjustified for the portion size. We ordered two portions of ox cheeks, and the meat consisted mostly of fat – an absolute disgrace. We then returned the food and ordered more; it took almost an hour. Since everyone else had already finished eating, we wanted to cancel the meal so we could leave. The manager then came over to us without apologizing and offered to give us the food for free or throw it away. After this incident, the service was very unfriendly. I would not visit this restaurant again and would not recommend it to anyone.

We were at this restaurant with 14 people and had expected much more. The food itself was disappointing: The schnitzel was extremely thin and tough, and the ox cheeks, which are normally lean, consisted almost entirely of fat. Truly borderline. After complaining about these, we ordered different food. However, it took 30 to 45 minutes to arrive. Other tables that had ordered much later were served before us. The waiter barely paid any attention to us and even became rude at the end. The restaurant was not even half full; you really wonder what it's like when it's full. For a 4.3-star rating, we had expected much more. Unfortunately, I absolutely do not recommend it.

It's okay but not something I would recommend!!!

We went there last Saturday for dinner with four people. We chose the restaurant based on the many positive reviews. So we sat outside. The waiter came to bring us our menus. Shortly after, we made our decision. Drinks: 1 small beer, 1 rhubarb spritzer, 1 water, 1 Aperol. We also ordered food right away. 1 burger, 1 hunter's schnitzel, 1 lumberjack steak, 1 baked potato with quark and salmon. Sooooo... after 40 minutes and noticing that other tables that were occupied later had already ordered, I asked for our order. This waiter didn't know anything. So the head waiter came. He noted our displeasure and wanted to take care of it. 10 minutes later, the burger and schnitzel arrived. Another 7 minutes later, the lumberjack steak arrived. And we were told that the salmon with the potatoes was out. They were supposed to serve chicken with it. We declined. You have to think about that...I think that's pretty bad. Yeah, yeah...only now did the drinks arrive. Instead of a small beer, there was a large one. The Aperol was so thin...you could have easily eaten 10. The burger was okay. The schnitzel was okay. The lumberjack dish was more reminiscent of dry shoe soles than juicy meat. If that's standard there, as our friends later told us...then I don't understand the positive reviews. We certainly won't be going back. Enjoy your meal.

We waited more than an hour for the food

A full 5 stars from me! The ambiance is inviting, and the service is very courteous and attentive. The dishes are seasonally adapted and served promptly and in generous portions, hot. I haven't been disappointed on any of my visits. I'll be back!

We were there for lunch on August 27th, just the two of us, and sat outside. The food arrived quickly, about 20 minutes. Everything was delicious and appetizingly presented! The server was very friendly and accommodating! We will definitely be back!

German cuisine with a somewhat contemporary twist, but still very meat-heavy. The tarte flambée was good, and they have several draft beers, which you can also get on a tasting board. Nice location and good service.

I spontaneously went out to eat on the terrace and ordered schnitzel. I'm very skeptical because I only eat schnitzel in Austria. But it was fantastic, so fresh, crispy and wafer-thin, and everything was superbly seasoned. It was like a short vacation in Austria; I'll be back. And €19 is totally fine; you pay more for schnitzel everywhere.

Everyone thinks of it as a great place, sure the ambience and hosts are wonderful but not the taste of food, and I speak as an international who is new to German food!

Excellent food, very friendly and attentive service, and a truly lovely ambiance. All the dishes were exceptionally well-presented and perfectly cooked. We'd happily return!

We were visiting Göttingen today. We had lunch at the Bullerjahn. We had a very good meal, and the service was very attentive. The ambiance is also very nice. Everything is very clean and comfortable. We would gladly come back.

Very attentive service and super delicious food. I came hungry and left full. Note: The burger had arugula on it.

Very tasty 😋 food and great service. The meat was so tender.

Great service, great food. Highly recommended.

I eat here frequently due to my business trips, and I'm always completely satisfied with both the service and the food! The quality of the food is top-notch, and the waiters are always super friendly and attentive. It remains my first choice 😊

We were served by a very, very friendly waitress. The food was delicious and served quickly. We didn't have to wait long. It's a great location, sitting right by the Gänseliesel (Gänseliesel). We'd love to go back!

Great food... friendly service. Top!

Super friendly service, great food, great location

Cool place, delicious food, and great service. Felix served us superbly—polite, friendly, and nice. We'd love to come back for dinner when we're in the area! TOP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 6 stars!

A successful campaign with Aperol Days Chapeau Bullerjahn. Cheers🍀👍

★★★★★ – Wonderful wedding reception at the Old Town Hall Directly after our ceremony at the town hall, we had our reception at the Old Town Hall – and it was simply perfect! The service was warm, attentive, and pleasantly uncomplicated. The drinks were great, everything ran smoothly and relaxed, allowing us to fully concentrate on our guests and the special moment. A huge thank you to the entire team – you helped make our wedding day unforgettable!

The tables were dirty, and drinks were simply taken away even if they weren't empty. The wait for drinks took 30 minutes. The men's restrooms weren't clean.

Nice ambience, good food and friendly staff.

I was in Göttingen on business and had lunch at Bullerjahn, so I gave it a second chance. Unfortunately, it was an even bigger disappointment, because the shrimp pan was returned lukewarm three times. The question that comes to mind is whether this is a chef who knows his craft, or what industry he comes from. Is it service staff or just waitressing? That's the question here, because arguing with the customer about whether it's hot or lukewarm when you can touch a cast-iron pan is definitely not hot. Luckily, the Coke was cold. They could do a lot more with this place, and above all, hire a chef who loves cooking and does it with passion.

We had the beef burger and the councilman's pan. The burger was really tasty, but it wouldn't have filled a man. The councilman's pan is one of the most expensive dishes on the menu and not worth the money. It tastes great, but the piece of pork was ridiculously small and eaten in two bites. The amount of fried potatoes was also very small. The waitress didn't bring Majo's second order, and they didn't bring our second drink either. There was no follow-up question about how we liked the food. It's not a restaurant we would go to again.

Sorry guys, you have a café in the "Forum Wissen" museum and you're charging €3.50 for a Kinder Cactus ice cream. That's extortionate and simply outrageous.

I've never eaten such a dry baked potato; even my mother-in-law can do better! Even the tiny portion of herb curd doesn't help. You pay €7 extra for two slices of salmon. You can't really go wrong with fries either; in this restaurant, they even manage to forget to season them. The burger also came with sugary bucket-sized coleslaw, which was typical of the house. Furthermore, instead of a "light" beer, we were served a wheat beer, and when we pointed out that we hadn't ordered it, they ignored it. We would have liked to give personal feedback, but no inquiries about our satisfaction were forthcoming. Conclusion: €50 for two bad meals and one bad drink. You can do it, but you don't have to.

Top! The person who served us deserved more than 5 stars. We were there for several hours and felt very comfortable.

I went there for lunch with my girlfriend. We ordered homemade lemonade. We were a bit disappointed: elderflower-lemon syrup with dried lemon slices. I think these are part of the Christmas decorations. Fresh lemon would have been better in my opinion. I ordered baked potatoes with potato salad, remoulade, and cranberry dip. The cucumbers on the salad were unfortunately very thickly sliced ​​and very hard. The salad was tasty. The remoulade and dip were unfortunately not homemade, and the chicken tasted good, but unfortunately it wasn't boned properly. Biting into gristle is not nice. Perhaps a little more care should be taken in the preparation and fresh, regional products used. Homemade remoulade is not rocket science and is quick to make.

It's a shame we ate at Bullerjahn again today after a long time. Wiener Schnitzel with Fries The fries were crispy but unfortunately over-fried. The meat was in a breading that was half empty. I doubt the veal was fresh. It was miles away from a very good Wiener Schnitzel. The cucumber and sour cream salad as a side dish was very good. Hänschen Schnitzel with Fried Eggs The schnitzel came with two fried eggs. The schnitzel itself was dry, and I would classify it as good frozen meat. Side dishes as above. For the price, it's on the level of a snack bar. Unfortunately, the quality isn't appropriate for the location. Service from the staff was excellent.

The table for nine people, which we had pre-booked for lunch, was hastily and somewhat carelessly pushed together upon our arrival. The service was friendly but slow. The wait times, especially for the food, were relatively long. The mixed starters were tasty, but ridiculous for the price. The main courses were mediocre, with three dishes missing and only arriving at the table after everyone else had finished eating. To make matters worse, the salmon that was ordered later was still raw. Even the side salad and the free espresso couldn't improve the overall poor impression. We cannot recommend the Bullerjahn.

The roulade for €22.90 was so tough that it couldn't be cut even with a steak knife, which was brought after a complaint. The service was very friendly, though, and you could see she was embarrassed. The schnitzel had no seasoning on the meat. So, unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

Carbonara with cream Chicken undercooked Waiting time over 40 minutes

The ambiance inside is fantastic. It's really well done. You can sit and enjoy the atmosphere in front of the Bullerjahn in the heart of the city. We had an excellent meal here and were well looked after.

The menu is varied. The waffle iron is often broken, and waffles are then unavailable.

Very tasty food (Ratsherrenpfanne & Flammkuchen) in a rustic atmosphere in the middle of Göttingen 👍 We'd love to go again!

Nice restaurant. Delicious food. Good value for money Friendly staff

Charming restaurant. Good value for money. And good service.

Oh, are you taking advantage of the opportunity to have small concerts with a kind of gala dinner? Well, I like the rather wide views; it can be distracting if there are too many people, or it just gets a bit confusing... So I'm excited, see you very soon 🙏

The food here was delicious and not your run-of-the-mill cuisine. The service, however, was unfortunately really poor. The starter arrived before the drinks were even served. Then, not once was there a question as to whether we had any further requests or whether everything was okay. The wrong schnapps was served and the espresso came carelessly without sugar or biscuits. When we made our reservation online (there is a special field where you can select the reason for your visit), we stated that two people we were coming with had birthdays that day. This was initially ignored, and after asking twice, we were told that the restaurant didn't have anything special for birthday guests. We weren't even congratulated then. So why should you state the occasion online if the reason for your visit is irrelevant and will be ignored anyway? Unfortunately, we won't be visiting this restaurant again in the near future. A real shame.

Salad with asparagus (wanted on the plate) and strawberries, completely without love.

Tasteless pasta, tiny portions and nobody cares.

Man sitzt in der Nähe der Gänseliesel. Dort war während unseres Besuchs etwas los: Eine frisch gebackene Doktorandin wurde vorgefallen und küsste die Gänseliesel. Die Bedienungen waren recht schnell, aber der Eisbecher dauerte...

Die vorgegebenen Speisen waren es sehr gut. Das Servicepersonal war mehr als freundlich äußerst engagiert. Richtig gut. Der Kritikpunkt ist, dass die Hauptspeise mehr oder weniger direkt nach der Vorspeise kamen. Ist etwas was ich nicht so gerne habe. Ansonsten alles super

Really nice location with fantastic service from the co-owner. I'd be happy to go again.

€60 for lunch – with mayo from a tube! Yesterday, three of us spontaneously stopped by Bullerjahn – the lunch menu sounded like a good deal. We ordered fish in beer batter and two Margherita pizzas with extra salami. The highlight: For four wafer-thin slices of salami per pizza, we had to pay an extra €3 each – presumably hand-smoothed, otherwise the price is hard to explain. The remoulade with the fish? Definitely Hellmann's from a tube. I would have expected a homemade product here! Bottom line: €60 for three people! That was more of a very fancy lunch than a supposedly cheap side trip. You don't even want to know what dinner costs.

A great atmosphere. We were sitting outside, but the walk to the restroom offered a view of the vaulted ceiling. Very nice, and the restrooms were also very tidy. Plenty of space outside. Unfortunately, service was slow. After more than 25 minutes, we were allowed to order drinks and food. Accordingly, the food didn't arrive for an hour. It was moderately busy, and four waiters were milling around. A shame. They quickly provided a high chair, and apparently also a children's menu, but we didn't bother. We ordered: - Tarte flambée with asparagus: overall very tasty. Unfortunately, there was a bit less of the homemade hollandaise sauce and too much green asparagus instead of white. The ham was very tasty. Göttingen Pils was good. - Ox cheeks with spinach dumplings: very tasty and tender meat with a great sauce. The dumplings, unfortunately, were very dry and not at all juicy. The non-alcoholic Alster was also good. - Burger: Unfortunately, compared to many other burger places in town, it wasn't well received. Fries were good. We'd be happy to come back.

The food was of a good standard, but nothing special. The service was very good.

The overall impression didn't impress us at all. The waiters were overwhelmed, some of them didn't know the menu and forgot some of the orders. The food also seemed like ready-made food, was cold and was far too expensive for the amount you got. The price-performance ratio is therefore not appropriate. In addition, the food was brought to the table unevenly, so that some were already finished while others had just started eating. In a larger group this is a shame.

We quickly got a seat without registering, great service, delicious food and drink, good price - it was just nice here

Loved it . Was there for friends birthday and there was this Moroccan waitress who was a great sport as well . I’d definitely want to come there for my birthday as well

We were there spontaneously to eat, but sat outside because the weather was so nice. Luckily, we were able to admire the interior on the way to the ceramics department and also took quick pictures of the separate "Scharwache" room! Everything, absolutely everything was great! The atmosphere is beautiful! The people are quick, friendly, the food is super tasty, and the bread with dip is also a great thing! The price was completely reasonable! We will definitely come back because Göttingen is a great city!

Food was ok, but way too expensive...unfriendly service and very bad service...never again...

You were welcomed and served very nicely by the staff. The food came relatively quickly, was hot and very tasty. The atmosphere was inviting and the toilets were clean.

Went to “Your vote counts!” with my girlfriend. I didn't eat anything, just sang. Unfortunately there were only dry wines on offer but no semi-dry wines - my God, what am I supposed to do with a dry wine WITHOUT food! The acoustics were bad and unfortunately the projected lyrics could not be seen by all singers. And I don't like "Grandmas against the right", even if they sing. My girlfriend and I still had fun and we met nice people with whom we also arranged to meet at the next singing event.

Thanks for the great evening! Likeable singers, they really caught the audience's attention. Service and food also top. As an idea for next time: The television with the text on the far right (with a view of the bar) was unfortunately a bit inconvenient, with two thick candlesticks in the way. Maybe a little further to the right? And ABBA in the knowledge forum would be great!

We were there on a Saturday evening. Food had been pre-ordered and was already set when we arrived. So we were able to sit down straight away with over 20 people. After a short time, our drink requests were accepted and the food was served shortly afterwards. Everything went to our complete satisfaction. The food was delicious, the prices were okay and the ambience was good too. Gladly again.

Very nice location. Food is quite ok, but not exceptional.

Great food and great service! I can highly recommend it

Great service from Maria and her colleagues ❤️
