Burgmühle-Freyburg in Freyburg (Unstrut)

There were six of us at the Burgmühle. The first impression was really great, the ambiance by the river very idyllic. Unfortunately, the joy quickly faded. The cocktails are ready-made from the bottle and don't taste good. Charging an average of €10 for this is ridiculous. The bruschetta consisted of four untoasted (!) slices of baguette. The trout was so small, it was probably just a baby. It was served with two (!) potatoes, which had been halved to make it look "more substantial." Overall, the food was rather so-so in terms of taste and could have used more seasoning. The service was friendly, but there were certain language barriers. 3 out of 6 bills didn't match the menu prices! Overall, we were very disappointed and won't be coming back.

Always warm & always delicious!

A fantastic restaurant, with very good staff and tasty cuisine.

Unfortunately, it was bad. We were asked to change tables after placing our order, which weren't reserved. We were about to leave completely, but were allowed to stay seated, BUT with a strict time limit. The €15.50 starter salad was a disgrace. Too salty. Doused in vinegar. Coleslaw from the supermarket barrel. No one asked if everything was okay, neither during the meal nor when clearing the plates. A truly huge disappointment. We were so looking forward to it. They only accept cash. Tip to the tax office. We definitely won't be back and can't recommend this restaurant under any circumstances. Oh yes, the staff is unfortunately unfriendly too. And judging by their reaction, they're also uncooperative. It always depends on the approach. And you were simply unfriendly. Your food was exactly as described, and if this was supposed to have been a main course, all the worse. Sorry!

We visited the Burgmühle with a group of 6 people, and everyone was completely satisfied! The location right on the water is simply stunning – very idyllic and perfect for relaxing. The decor is also incredibly cozy and designed with great attention to detail. You immediately feel at home. The food was truly delicious – fresh, well-seasoned, and beautifully presented. Everyone was very satisfied with their dish. The service was also super friendly and attentive. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening in a wonderful atmosphere. We would love to come back and highly recommend the Burgmühle!

Very beautifully located restaurant. Unfortunately, no card payments, which is actually a must these days (after chatting with others, this is probably always the case), and the waitress needs another service training! Nice ambiance (inside and out)

Very nicely located, clean and tidy restaurant. The service was friendly. Unfortunately, the food was really bad. My companion (a hunter) had ordered pork medallions. These are cut from the pork fillet, the most tender part of the pig. As soon as it was served, it was clear from the shape that it wasn't fillet. What's more, it was so tough that he left it on his plate. He was offered a new dish, but he declined. I wanted to try it too, but gave up after the first attempt. It's difficult to cook a piece of pork that hard. They then returned the favor with a drink, which was very friendly. But for €20 a dish, you should get what's on the menu. I had a zander fillet. As a fisherman, I've caught, filleted, and eaten plenty of zander. But even I had serious doubts about what was lying there on the plate, thickly breaded and covered in sauce. It was a fish, but the fillet of a noble fish was presented on the plate...and not hidden (see picture). As I said, everything about this restaurant is actually perfect, but the kitchen desperately needs work. And the restaurant management should urgently check whether the kitchen is actually preparing what's on the menu. I'll definitely go back and see if anything changes.

No card payments accepted 🤦🏻‍♂️. Everything was empty, but we were informed that our exact table was reserved from 5:30 PM. Luckily, we only wanted a "quick" drink. They could also work on the friendliness a bit more!!!

The service was friendly and quick. Unfortunately, the prices for the food weren't exactly justified. The anticipated explosion of flavors unfortunately didn't materialize.

Folks, when I'm greeted with rules of conduct at the entrance...I find that intrusive. The food was good, the service was cold. The wine was too warm, but the price was too high. €7.90 for 0.2 liters, poured sparingly, isn't worth lingering over. The view from the terrace is very nice. All in all, we were disappointed!

Beautifully located right on the water. A wonderful, elegant ambiance and delicious food. The waitress was also very friendly and attentive. Thank you for a lovely evening. We'll definitely be back.

I only ate one sundae and it was very tasty.

Delicious food, good and friendly service, very nice ambience on the Unstrut...will gladly come again

On the bike ride to Naumburg we took a break there and drank a delicious Köstritz Radler.

A very nice place, and the food was delicious! Unfortunately, card payments weren't accepted, and paying was very inconvenient!

We ate at the Burgmühle yesterday, and I have to say, I haven't had such a bad meal in a long time. The seasoned meat was inedible and, above all, the meat itself was indefinable. The salad was fresh, but the dressing wasn't particularly good. The cocktail was a ready-made product and tasted awful. For €8, you should definitely mix your own. We love going out to eat and are happy to spend a few euros more for good food and drinks, but I wouldn't recommend this. It's a shame, really, because the seating is very comfortable and the service is very friendly.

Despite the less than favorable reviews, we visited the Burgmühle with eight people and were pleasantly surprised in every respect. The location is excellent; you can sit right by the water. The furnishings, the terrace, and the decor are very tasteful. The service was attentive, very friendly, and most importantly, the food was simply delicious. All dishes arrived perfectly, and the value for money is also highly recommended. We will definitely be back on our next visit.

We had dinner here for the first time today. The food was very good, and we felt very comfortable. For us, the value for money was definitely good. We definitely recommend the Burgmühle.

I don't understand the poor average rating. We thought the restaurant was wonderful. It's in a beautiful location, the wine was delicious, and the food was also great. We'll definitely be back!

Looks great. Great service. Tasted great. Would definitely order again.

Went for dinner today and had really great food, great service, and a great location on the water. Highly recommended. 👍

We had lunch yesterday and were very satisfied. The medium beef fillet was cooked to perfection, and the location right by the weir is beautiful. We received very friendly service and can recommend the restaurant.

Simply lögga 🤭🥂🍾Lumberjack steak with salad.

Food and service are good. The fact that only cash payment is accepted is neither customer-oriented nor contemporary

We were with our dog and had a delicious lunch. Very nice service, short waiting time, our dog also got two treats. Very nice terrace. We liked it very much.

Today was the first time we were in the restaurant "Burgmühle" but definitely not the last time. Here you can relax on the terrace, watch the goings-on on the Unstrut and enjoy the good and fast service. Next time we will take more time and let us be treated to something.

Very friendly staff, great ambience, fast service. 🙂

Very tasty food with a great wine selection! Nice ambience with a view of the Unstrut. THE PLACE TO BE when you are in Freyburg.

A great restaurant located right on the Unstrut River, by the weir. The terrace is fantastic in nice autumn weather. The food was delicious, and the service staff was friendly and accommodating. We'd love to come back!

Modern and stylish ambience. Friendly and fast service. The food is very tasty and attractively presented.

At the entrance to the restaurant there was a sign saying no card payment so I left.

We went in hungry and left hungry too. We ordered sliced ​​chicken with croquettes, it came in a very small baking dish with 5 mini croquettes, and that for a whopping €20. Then we had the vegetable curry with potatoes. It was also only a very small portion, with 2 small potatoes with remnants of the peel still stuck to them, and that for €17. You can't get enough of it. The restaurant smells of smoke because an employee smokes in his office and the door to the restaurant is open all the time. Not recommended.

We went out for dinner over the Christmas holidays and were very disappointed. The service was obviously just as unprepared as the kitchen for the full house: you were only allowed to choose overpriced dishes of poor quality from a small daily menu (five main courses, a starter soup, a side salad, no dessert). Children and vegetarians were not taken into account. People were very inflexible (e.g. no swapping of dumplings for potatoes was possible), orders were mixed up and some of the food was already cold and overcooked. Unfortunately, the great ambience could distract from the poor service and the lack of cooking skills. Not recommended on public holidays.

Nice ambience, good food and friendly service. The wine is very good, the food could be a little hotter. Nevertheless, the restaurant is highly recommended.

Great atmosphere, but unfortunately not sufficiently prepared for the Christmas season. You weren't allowed to eat from the normal menu, only from the small Christmas menu. There was nothing for vegetarians and children. All the dishes we chose were dry, cold and the meat was of poor quality. Unfortunately there was no flexibility in the choice of food. It was not possible to choose potatoes instead of dumplings. Too bad...

Very nice atmosphere. Nice service and delicious food. We were very satisfied.

Were invited to a Christmas party at the Burgmühle. Ambience really amazed us. Very pretty and looks Italian at first glance. We were surprised that there was no sparkling wine in a restaurant in Freyburg. This meant you couldn't bump into things. Dishes are average and typically selected to suit German tastes. I just say schnitzel au four. Unfortunately there was only a cheese plate for vegetarians. Unfortunately, the wow effect of the meal was missing (spices, salt and simply love in the preparation).

The food was good but the service was poor. You don't feel welcome and you are still taken advantage of when it comes to the bill. In addition to the unfriendly waitress: There are discrepancies in the bill. If one wants a change that makes the dish more expensive, the price increases significantly. However, if it becomes cheaper, the price remains the same! I had asked for more mushrooms, but the waitress wanted to offer me extra sauce instead. I didn't know that I had to pay almost 5 euros for this little extra sauce that was actually offered! I liked the food but I won't go there again.

A nice atmosphere and the food was delicious

The food was very tasty. The staff is very attentive and friendly. When the weather is nice, it's worth taking a seat on the terrace with a view of the weir. Our dog also felt comfortable. Et was pampered with water and treats.

The view is great, the taste is okay, you can see the frying fat in the air when the sun shines, you will judge accordingly afterwards, card payment only possible on request. We no longer come to eat, especially to drink wine on the terrace.

We ended up in the Burgmühle by chance today. Due to the long opening hours. We were there with our little daughter (almost 1 year old). Despite having a child's chair, we were not offered one. Either way, the waitress was unfriendly from the start, visibly annoyed. My husband's food was good. I guess I made the wrong choice. Tomato soup has more water and pepper than tomato. Salting Maidalons with chanterelles. Well, the highlight is the waitress. Restaurant almost empty, later 8 people came to a table and the feeling of being overwhelmed or not wanting to eat started. The 8 person table was served very well but we were forgotten. We couldn't drink after ordering or paying. So I went to the counter to ask for payment. Because chatting with my colleague went well. I have rarely felt treated as disrespected as I was there. Apparently I prefer without a child and wishes come. With kind luck, off from the Erzgebirge. 😉

Very nice excursion restaurant, unfortunately the price-performance ratio doesn't match. Portions very clearly and carelessly prepared. But the food still tasted very good. The staff was absolutely overwhelmed, I can't even say whether they were friendly or unfriendly or just walked back and forth without emotion.

Very courteous service and delicious food. If we're ever in the area again, we'd love to come back! Thank you for 2 very nice evenings!

I had trout, there's still a lot of room for improvement 🤷‍♂️

Food was tasty, but not enough for the price.

A sight and a very good meal in a dignified ambience, very high quality and recommended. There is even plenty of parking space.

Disaster, food cold when served. Beer stale with a pale taste. Service below average.

Beautifully located on the Unstrut, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good cuisine

Was eating spareribs on Saturday October 4th, 2024. Terrible ! Cooked ribs with a ready-made barbecue sauce, the fries are also better available at any snack bar. All this for 22.90🙈 what a shame! This is how you scare away your guests. In addition, I asked for a seat reservation. I was answered: no space left, only in the winter garden. I got a seat in the restaurant and noticed that many seats were still free without a reservation sign…. Keep it up🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Matjes Housewives Art The food was well prepared, but unfortunately the taste was a flat 0. The potatoes neither scored points in terms of taste nor were they cooked. There was neither oil nor onion to be found on the matjes and the grilled vegetables didn't go well with it, let alone the homemade sauce that tasted like extended yogurt tasted good.

Had a schnitzel with fries. Standard food. Schnitzel very dry and therefore tough. Fries apparently counted out. But 2 slices of fried carrot. Great for €26.50. My companion's salad was okay. Not more. Coffee and milk are only available after asking three times. It's actually standard. Not recommended. I'm not really a complainer, but it's a waste of money

I ordered vegetables with curry cream sauce and potatoes (not from the menu, but from a separate notice) for €16.50. Unfortunately, what happened was a catastrophe. Thick curry cream mush in which you had to look for the vegetables. The potatoes were not included as a side dish, which I expected given the name of the dish and the price. The potatoes were hidden in the form of three small pieces in the curry cream mush. Important: If you are dissatisfied with the food here, you should complain immediately. Later complaints will not be accepted and the full price will be charged, in cash of course, as card payment is not possible. Goodwill is not known in this restaurant.

Food and service were very good

Service could be improved, the wine for €33 was served without wine cooling. After asking twice, the wine cooler was available. The entire dining room was covered in fog (probably came from the kitchen). The price-performance ratio simply doesn't fit (e.g. frozen croquettes). The location has much more potential.

Reserved a table for 15 people 2 months ago. There was no table reserved for us today. Luckily it was empty so we got a table. Room in the back. Room was a bit foggy as if the vent from the kitchen ended there. Place the order - everything came quite quickly, we only got the wine spritzer ourselves after 15 minutes. Starter came - was okay. Not everyone was finished yet when the main course arrived. There was no response to our request to wait. The actual schnitzel with cream mushrooms was ordered with cream sauce and the vegetables without mushrooms - food came with mushroom sauce and mushrooms. Food was returned - food came with cream sauce and mushrooms again. Okay, we made the mushrooms ourselves. Schnitzel came with more marinade around it than there was any meat in it. During the second trimming, I discovered a long hair - so I went back. On another plate, a hair between the side salad. As if that wasn't bad enough, tables and chairs were now being pushed around. When asked whether it was tasty, we of course answered honestly - everything was very matter-of-fact. The waitress's reactions - eyes blurred and "I can't help it." This restaurant was highly recommended to us, but it was the biggest letdown of the day - a shame

Solid cuisine, decent prices. A little too much convenience. The ambience is of course fantastic.

Found it a bit strange. You take your time with the service. Sometimes it takes forever and people leave because of it.

Very tasty food and very nice service.

Wow! Discovered by chance and enjoyed! Terrace by the water with a view of the vineyards. It couldn't be better! Plus the great food, with a matching wine. Plus a friendly and attentive service team. This makes the wonderful short holiday in the Saale-Unstrut wine-growing region perfect!

We wanted to have lunch at the Burgmühle today, but unfortunately it didn't happen. After waiting half an hour we left again. The young waiter brought us the menus but then he lost interest in us. It's a shame, but we still had a wonderful meal in Freyburg. The star is available free of charge for half an hour while sitting in the beautiful ambience on the Unstrut.

One of the few restaurants and Freyburg that is always open and offers a view of the Unstrut. The food is more Italian, averagely good. Very courteous service.

You cannot pay by card at the Burgmühle. So take enough cash with you.

The atmosphere in this excursion restaurant, located directly on the Unstrut, with a beautiful terrace and a wonderful shady vine arbor is hard to beat. For that reason alone it is worth stopping by. The touring kayakers paddle past the small river, a few meters directly below the terrace, and now and then a rubber dinghy full of rafters paddles past. So something is required. It's really worth reading the website about the use of hydropower through your own power plant and the necessary fish ecological measures. The commitment of the operators is admirable. You can also enjoy the extensive range of wine from the region. As for the food, I can say that it was tasty. Since we were here in a large group and we had to choose the dishes when planning, we cannot give a detailed verdict here. The service was a bit sparse, but serving around 50 people from a group at the same time is not easy either.

The location of the restaurant by the river is very nice, wonderful outdoor seating. We only had drinks and ice cream, as well as a children's meal (french fries with fish fingers). That was all fine. Unfortunately there was no more cake (at coffee time! on the weekend). It also seemed as if there weren't enough service staff, which was a shame. Everything takes a little longer. The bill could only be paid in cash. I thought it was no longer up to date.

No card payment = tax fraud You shouldn't support it

Very nice service, delicious food

Very good location, right on the Unstrut, very friendly service and great service. The food tasted excellent!

We were in this restaurant 8 years ago and were very satisfied. For this reason we visited it again today and were quite disappointed. At the entrance you were told that no card payment was possible. The service was nice, but the waiting times were too long. There were neither beer mats nor table decorations. The food tasted good, although the composition wasn't quite right, croquettes with chicken with tomato sauce. When a gentleman who looked like the caretaker asked how the food tasted and we expressed our opinion, we were told, “You ordered it that way!” Are you just asking out of decency? There was no light in the toilet, the hand dryer was broken, but paper towels were available, Just a shame. We were disappointed.

Even one star is still too many! Service so overwhelmed and weak! Never again

We were invited for dinner today. We ate very well. I had a tuna salad. I really enjoyed it. The location is very good right on the Unstrut. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We can recommend the restaurant, you can have a nice time here.

Very good food, very friendly service. Reservation worked straight away

Price / performance is not right here, schnitzel with ragout fin gratinated - it was an industrial schnitzel with a teaspoon-sized amount of ragout fin gratinated, three half potatoes and very few grilled vegetables, all for 19.90 €, Better not!! Service also needs improvement, everything took a while, despite few guests..., never ever...!!!

The ambience is really nice. Otherwise... Well the service was so-so. The problem is really the food, you can expect more for the prices. The homemade herring sauce is sour cream and that's it. There were maybe three crumbs of pickles in there too. Just sad. The rest of the group didn't have anything particularly good either. Only the trout was recommended. It's to be expected that there isn't a large vegan selection in a restaurant like this in the country, but that they can't even do a vegan salad dressing... Wow

Sit by the weir and enjoy the peace and quiet. Some shaded areas. Makes a small impression, but is very comfortable. Lots of space.

Wonderful beer garden & great terrace that invite you to linger, the view is beautiful and the food is unique and tastes excellent! The chef knows his craft perfectly! Knowledgeable, friendly staff, there is nothing to complain about!!! Always a pleasure to be a guest here!

Coffee and cake as well as the salad with chicken breast were very tasty. It was very cozy and relaxed with wonderful views of the vineyards and relaxing music.

I don't want to say anything worse than it actually is...or was, but what we were served on the plate yesterday was one of the most primitive things you can do to a guest. What's the use of the waiters being nice? What good is a great view of a water landscape, when the meal for a whopping 15 euros is nothing more than raw salad carelessly spread out on the plate, with a few strips of turkey breast on it (a maximum of 2 euros in material usage). The highlight: 2 slices of white bread that made you fear for your teeth. Simply primitive, tasteless and... an insolence beyond compare. Why is anyone who thinks they can prepare food... allowed to do so without training (certainly). And if someone did that after learning it through training... then that person has definitely "bought" the qualification or forgotten everything. You prepare a sandwich or cheese sandwich at home, pack it into your hiking backpack along with an apple and a bottle of water... and then you look for a bench in nature where you can sit down with what you've brought with you while listening to the birds chirping and fresh air can enjoy peace and quiet. Like in old times! Although... even back in the GDR era, it tasted better in the restaurants. And that at prices between 2.50 and 4.90 marks and a beer for 0.40 Pf. We didn't earn much back then, but there was more honesty and less cheap show.

Very nice location, very good restaurant and very good food!

We were here on vacation and we really liked it, the food was very good and the service was super nice

The six of us had a pleasant meal. I had tagliatelle in lobster cream sauce and salmon. Two leaves of lettuce and two slices of baguette from the day before were served with it. The taste was good but not more than that. A touch too much cream for me, which masked the rest of the taste. The prices for the food are justified for fresh cuisine. A glass of wine from the region for just under €8 - is that necessary? Card payment is a must-have, which is a shame. The service was nice, reliable and quick. The view is enchanting. Inside it also looks very inviting.

The food was okay, portion a bit small for the price. The service was overwhelmed but nice (it was like that two years ago). We had to wait a relatively long time, but it was tasty. The prices are better.

That was nothing at all, I was expecting at least a good schnitzel with fried potatoes, not possible, schnitzel fried, ala holandaise, well for €20 too much, cheese platter came even though I wanted to know which one was on it first. Nothing, there is much, much better in Freyburg 😗

Very nice garden terrace right on the water, as well as a beautifully designed interior. Nice and attentive staff. A large menu with many meat and fish dishes. My trout wasn't a big hit. Little taste and almost dry. Maybe you can do it better and I had the Monday model,

Employee very unfriendly (12.07.24 @ 5 p.m.). I was there alone. The 3.8 rating is probably not without reason 😉. Keep it up👍

If you look at the rude and cheeky answers from the owners here, I think that says it all about this place. A 3.8 rating speaks for itself. Better go somewhere else.

No card payments (and in 2024). Beer for 5.80 euros not completely filled. Unfriendly staff. Only the view is good.

The food and wine were excellent, as was the view of the Unstrut from the cozy terrace. A little more friendliness and a smile would do the staff a lot of good

We passed by by chance. We found it very idyllic and were able to have lunch here with a view of the Unstrut. It was good and plentiful. Water was also ready for our dog.

On weekdays around 3 p.m. Lunch was okay, hot food served throughout (unfortunately not a given everywhere anymore)

A great place to relax. Eight star food. Great prices for the quality. It's been a long time since I've had the original Fassbrause... delicious. A very nice place. Keep it up 👍👍👍 We will be back !!!

On May 6, 2023, we experienced an unpleasant situation in the Burgmühle restaurant in Freyburg an der Saale when a waitress accidentally poured wine into a guest's meal and then didn't take any further care of it. The supervisor also did not respond appropriately to the incident. Despite our good mood, this was an example of poor service. In Freyburg most restaurants are closed between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., so we recommend taking a snack with you and waiting until another restaurant opens.

Reserved for 12 people, the service was very nice and since more people were invited, they immediately enlarged the table and you immediately felt welcome. The drinks were served quickly and were all tasty. The main courses were served without large gaps so that everyone could eat together. Everything tasted excellent, whether it was fish, grilled platters or schnitzel... big compliments to the kitchen. We would love to come back.

And no card payment is the last thing!

The food was great... the only thing you have to complain about is that things are advertised and when you want to order them they aren't there... just wipe it off the board and then there is the 5 star...

Arrived and immediately ate deliciously!

Very nicely located restaurant! Very nice and friendly staff. Food leaves nothing to be desired. A taste experience! Four-legged friends are also very welcome, which particularly appealed to me personally. That's rare these days. Please keep it up, it couldn't be better!

We enjoyed a very tasty meal on the terrace on a warm early summer evening. (May '24)

Prices for food are ok, even if you don't get anything outstanding. What's wrong here are the wine prices. Too sporty calculations to boost wine sales. Get ideas in the Mediterranean region. Then you drink 3 glasses instead of just 1 for 8 or 10 €.

Sitting outside when the weather is nice - there's nothing better!
