Carls Brauhaus in Stuttgart

The food, beer, and cocktails were excellent. We especially liked our server, Dimi. We'll be back!

Food OK. Pushing for tips in the end NOT OK!

Dimitri!! The best server and great service! 10/10 recommend!

Great food and the Service is always top notch. Great to just have a drink with the dudes or to just have a nice lunch or Dinner highly recomend

Waiters warm, friendly and funny

The food was very tasty and delicious and the drink was also very good.

Right on Schlossplatz. Lots to see. Beer delicious. Worth it at any time of day.

Absolute recommendation. Reserved table was available. Nice welcome. Orders, drinks and food arrived quickly. Dinner of the day tasted great. The food was reasonably priced. Drink prices may be a bit excessive. Toilets clean. We'd love to come back.

I was very happy with my visit to Carls Brauhaus! The dishes were delicious and freshly prepared - the regional offering was particularly impressive. The selection of drinks was also great. The service was friendly and attentive and we were seated quickly. Overall, a very pleasant atmosphere – I would love to come back!

The food does not correspond to the price, good beer and the atmosphere is great!!!

Very touristy, logical for this location. Nevertheless or because of that, clear recommendation. Unfortunately, the actually very decent food was only lukewarm, even though the shop was nowhere near full. House beers very good. Service TOP!

Unfriendly service. Playing cards is not allowed.

Great large brewery in Stuttgart with good food and friendly service. You will be served quickly.

Good meeting point in Stuttgart

A typical brewery with the familiar side effects. It was loud, but nice, quick service made it a little bearable. Here too, you can get mainstream brewery food. Delicious beer and for me the Swabian classic “Maultaschen”

Large brewery with friendly and courteous employees. Nice big tables and a good selection of food & drinks.

We ate and had a drink, the service was fast, the staff were friendly.

The stakes were definitely not too big. However they were cooked well. There were not too much attention. I guess that was okay. And we didn't have to put in the effort of paying the tip. They managed that themselves quite extravagantly.

The staff was attentive. We tried Maultasche and pulled pork burger. Maultasche wasn't bad, it was like a normal ravioli. But the pulled pork burger was delicious. Prices are considered reasonable. I recommend.

I wanted to eat Schweinhaxen. Hexe 1/2 is only available after 5pm😭 hefe Weizen Very refreshing, unique and delicious finish, highly recommended

We liked it, typical brewery ambience, service, food, cleanliness, value for money, top. Had the fitness salad with schnitzel strips.

Good food , with good veg + vegan options for a brauhaus . Great traditional german food and local beer. Would recommend to make reservations specially for dinner . Location in excellent in stuttgart center . Easy accessibility with public transport

The salad was great, plus a world-class shandy! The Fammkuchen was also tested. Super!

Great location Great food and very friendly staff.

Great restaurant with outdoor tables facing the square. The schnitzel was very tasty and the apple ice cream dessert was also delicious! Great restaurant to eat typical German food.

Friendly service. Very tasty food.

Delicious 😋 food, 🐖 roast and 🐖 knuckle Friendly service, good beer 🍺 Everything was perfect!

Homemade beers are very successful and prices are reasonable. I especially highly recommend Dinkelacker Cd Pils.

Unfortunately, the food wasn't that good; the Maultaschen soup wasn't even lukewarm. My roast beef with onions was tough, and that for 31 euros, what a shame. Since I once had problems sending food back, I ate it, no matter what. The staff were very friendly, and the ambiance was nice and appropriate. It's a huge restaurant with a lot of customers. The quality probably sometimes suffers.

Very tasty, food came quickly. Service was very friendly and helpful. Gladly again!!!

Great pork knuckle here. Half portion would have been suffice for 1 person. Look for "Schweinshaxe" on the menu. Perfect service from the waitress with great recommendation on the beer and sides to go with. Great experience, would definitely recommend everyone to try if you are in stuttgart

It can't be helped that I went without a reservation and couldn't get in, but the staff was the worst. The first uncle told me to go to the back, so I went there, and the lady in the back told me to line up at the entrance, and even though I told her to go to the back, she didn't bother me. When I went back to the entrance and lined up again, I was told that I couldn't get in without a reservation, so I couldn't get in in the end. If you don't want to have a bad experience, make a reservation, of course.

It’s big, it’s noisy, and the food is not exceptional. After reading the reviews, I realize that I too fell into the tourist trap by giving a generous tip. In the end, it was quite an average experience. From the moment I entered the place, I could sense the overwhelming size of the restaurant. It felt crowded, and the noise level was far from pleasant. The atmosphere didn’t seem to offer the charm or intimacy I expected. As for the food, while it wasn’t bad, it certainly didn’t live up to the hype. The dishes were average, with no distinct flavors or remarkable presentation to make them stand out. For the price I paid, I had hoped for something more memorable. Reflecting on the experience, I now realize that I had been swept up in the excitement, perhaps expecting too much because of the location or the popularity of the place. The staff seemed more focused on turning tables quickly than offering a personalized, high-quality service. Giving a generous tip in such an environment didn’t feel as rewarding as I had hoped. Overall, it was a letdown, as the whole experience was far from exceptional, and I felt like I could have spent my time and money elsewhere for a much better dining experience.

Nice brewery, nice staff, good service. Even without a reservation, we didn't have to wait long until we got a table. The food was also delicious and the portions were large.

We met with friends for lunch and drinks to have good time. Good food selection, friendly professional service. Good location close to park.

Food was great, my server were fast and attentive, lost the stars as I was forced to pay for using the toilet even as a paying customer

Really friendly staff. Thanks for the evening

I'm really disappointed – the roast beef with onions was a complete disappointment. The meat was thin, of poor quality, and not even cooked medium-rare, as ordered. For the price, I would have expected much more. Definitely not a recommendation – I won't order it there again. The rest was okay, but unfortunately, you can tell that they're only focused on selling at a high price, rather than focusing on genuine quality.

I ate steak. The beer was delicious, and the meat and fries were also great. The price was also good and reasonable.

Today I was again in the brewery's outdoor terrace. A boring Sunday without many visitors. I ordered a wheat beer that cost 5.20 euros. When the beer came I gave the waiter 6 euros because I didn't have it right. After about half an hour I asked him what was wrong with the change. The waiter then said in amazement: “Oh, you still get 80 cents.” After another 10 minutes he came, somewhat reluctantly, with only 50 cents. I then complained again because 30 cents were still missing. After another 10 minutes he brought 25 cents in individual copper coins. (instead of the missing 30 cents) I pointed this out to him and told him that it was starting to annoy me. He then answered me in broken German that my accuracy was also annoying him. That says everything about the service quality and the cheeky staff at Carls Brauhaus. For me, this borders on extortion of tips in a brazen way. I'm really not interested in 5 cents. But I had the impression that the waiter deliberately staged it that way and wasn't an accident. You just try it and unfortunately you think the guests are stupid

Very lively place. But, you might not get more than 1-hr slots to enjoy the vibe, even on weekday evenings. Maybe the place suffers from its own success, but that‘s how it is. The staff were courteous, beer was refreshing and finger food was decent enough for our outing.

The restaurant is quite large and always busy. If you want to try Swabian cuisine, you are definitely in good hands there. I ate the tarte flambée, which itself was quite ok. But you won't get enough of it because you have to order two. The taste is ok but there is still room for improvement. Service was nice and friendly. Unfortunately it didn't really convince me.

We can only recommend this, good food, good beer, very friendly service

Nice place to enjoy German classics with good beer.

Very nice place, good prices, nice food but can be better thats why 4 stars for food.

I can't give this restaurant a good rating, I was there for the IG Metall action day and the staff was immediately overwhelmed. Drinks sometimes took half an hour and the prices varied. Once a glass of 0.5 liter beer cost 5.20 euros then you only got a 0.4 liter cup for 5.20 euros and when I ordered 3 beers it suddenly became 17.50 euros and I was even cheated on the change. When the staff arrived with crates of bottled beer, it also cost 5.20 euros. For a restaurant in this price range, something like that simply shouldn't be possible. If I am in Stuttgart again I will definitely avoid this rip-off restaurant.

In my opinion the best brewery in the city.Delicious food, excellent beer and very friendly staff.Definitely recommend.

It's now the 2nd time that I've spontaneously turned up there after a trip and wanted to eat something and I've been turned away twice "because the kitchen was closed" When I asked why it says until 10 p.m., I was told “it doesn’t say times can vary!” No, it doesn't say so. A colleague said the kitchen closed at 9 p.m. another waiter said the kitchen closed at 9:30 p.m.! It was 9:20 p.m. and we were turned away for the second time. We've eaten there several times, it's good, no doubt, but I feel sorry for the staff! You have lost a customer. And finally change your times.

There is nothing but atmosphere. An ordinary business doing business because there is no alternative around...

Food was pretty good, ordered the ham hock, was pretty juicy and beer was excelent, the atmosphere was nice and comfortable, the service though, it was terrible, from the start, when we arrived, the staff were screaming to each other, took about 10 minutes to get a table even though they were a few available inside, when we finally got our table, the waitress was pretty rude and overwhelming, she was screaming to us and putting pressure on us to order, even after asking her for recomendations, she was constantly running away from our table and even tried to force us to leave more tip for her, when I told her I wasnt going to leave tip and wanted to pay the bill, she lightly pushed me, I maintained calm and tried to pay the bill, after we left, the waitress told a friend of mine to go back to our country lol. I get that sometimes work can be overwhelming but it doesnt feel right to be treated like that; might be a bad administration of the restaurant tho, not necessarily her fault. Ps: the card terminal was having issues with payment, took us like 15 minutes to pay

Absolutely, if Stuttgart, then there

The design of the restaurant is perfect. Also the food was good!

Great service, rustic flair, unique German foods, super popular and in perfect location.

Very good experience! You have to arrive early to be able to eat the house specialty

There's really nothing to complain about. Service is good, food is great, prices are moderate for Stuttgart

We were looking for spaetzle and after a bit of searching we decided on the brewery. It was busy, but it was also Saturday lunchtime, we were just lucky, later people were lining up. The staff was still in a good mood and very quick. Food arrived quickly and our cheese spaetzle was very tasty. And among other things, the cheapest in Stuttgart Mitte so everything was great all around.

Food great - exactly what you expect from a brewery. Can be a bit noisy when full. Service very nice and quick.

Very nice restaurant with super nice staff. Always friendly and courteous and helpful. The famous Stuttgarter Käsespätzl are particularly recommended. Even if the portion seems medium, rest assured that you will be completely full afterwards and a culinary recommendation will be richer. Extremely delicious. Drinks and food prices are completely ok. It's also a great start or end for tourists who are on their way to the train station anyway. Top location.

Everything optimal. Ahmet great service, food very good quality and great seating.

Very nice from the outside, very big from the inside, which I wouldn't have thought, it was quite loud, we only drank coffee and the atmosphere is typical of a brewery, unfortunately I didn't see what there was to eat but I'll definitely go there again and eat something delicious

Meal: Ordered German pig's feet, potato dumplings, French fries, sour salad, and non-alcoholic beer. Among them, the German pig's feet are very authentic and delicious, but the potato dumplings have a smell that I personally don't like. Service: The service staff had a good attitude and didn't seem to be in a hurry. There is no displeasure even if you want to change seats at first. People who pass you by may care about your meal (of course they will ask if you want to leave a tip in the end, so the service will be better). Atmosphere: Next to the Palace Square, enjoy the sunshine and food. The current atmosphere is leisurely and the pleasant atmosphere is a plus for the overall experience, so I give it full marks in this aspect. Special note: Although we ate in this restaurant, we still had to be tipped at the door when we went to the indoor toilet (I gave 1 euro, 50 cent for two), which was a bit unhappy.

Einfach nur spitze, super freundliches Personal. Apfelsaft und andere Säfte waren meist selber gepresst das Essen hatte eine super und frische Qualität wir konnten zum Mittags Ansturm sofort einen Platz bekommen, Essen und Getränke waren sehr schnell geliefert und für die Preise ein super Hit.

Looking for a sunny spot on Sundays with the best weather, we stopped at Carls Brauhaus. Due to the central location, the first thought is “tourist trap”. But that is definitely not the case. Whether it's lunch during the week or the traditional dishes, the dishes taste really delicious at a fair price-performance ratio. After a short wait we were able to find a place on the terrace with a view of the Schlossplatz. Drinks and food were taken quickly and brought to the table VERY quickly, despite the restaurant being full. Good Swabian cuisine without being ripped off. It's worth making a detour here for good German cuisine. Card payment was no problem.

Good terrace and good prices. The treatment could be quite improved. Once you finish they kick you out.

It is a tourist trap, staff is nice and that is the best thing about it. The food is below average and the atmosphere is hectic and loud.

Today, we sat here with my wife and baby to have a lunch beer and have a pleasant time. However, the disrespectful waiter told us that we had to leave in five minutes because we did not want to pay a tip. This is a disgrace and a great disrespect. I don't think the business managers care enough about our complaint, I'm writing this note here, if you don't tip you may be fired!

Very nice brewery with delicious beer.

Tasty, fast and always good service. Unfortunately a bit more expensive due to the location.

On Sunday, there were very few open restaurants, and this was one of them. We went in the late afternoon without a reservation, and it was very crowded. They gave us a table for 1.5 hours. We had Vienna schnitzel. It wasn’t bad, but I’ve had better. The restaurant is quite large, and its location and ambiance are nice.

Perfect I have no words for it 🍷

Der Schanigarten ist logischerweise voll besetzt, hier relaxend zu weilen heute ein Heileit .... bis zum Schichtwechsel um die 3 Viertel 4. Die freundliche Servierdame verabschiedet sich in den verdienten Feierabend, ersetzt wird sie durch eine Art Feldwebel, ok er hat halt sein Organ aber muss er so rumbrüllen ? Dazu noch Geschepper mit Stühlen die über den Boden geschleikt werden (meine Güte ist ein Gartenstuhl schwer), pseudofamiliäres Getue den Gästen gegenüber (mit einem leicht herablassenden Ton) : so einen schrecklichen Teller- und Glasträger habe ich schon lange nicht mehr erlebt. Ich hab dann nichts mehr bestellt.

The location is central, right on Schlossplatz and within walking distance of the main station. I would particularly like to praise the service. Ahmed (or Ahmad) was very accommodating and friendly. The ambience and the food are top. The only drawback is that you have to (or can?) pay money for the toilet. Nevertheless, I can recommend the brewery.

The Haksen was delicious, but greasy, so two people ordered one and shared it.

Delicious German regional cuisine

Extremely unsympathetic waiter who forbade us to play cards - as an explanation why he said it was because I wanted it that way and you were guests here?! He also told us which of us should sit at the table and how... no restaurant has ever lost us so quickly

The knuckle was already sold out at 7:30 p.m.! The Maultaschen were lukewarm, the potato salad was cheap from a bucket and the dark sauce on top tasted like paste (ready-made sauce). The operator should go out to eat at the Bräustüberl in Tegernsee or at “Der Pschorr” in Munich. The food tastes good and the quality is right!! It wasn't worth the money here!! Never again!! Too bad for Saturday evening.

Yes, definitely in the heart of Stuttgart with a view of the Schlossplatz.

Very good food but also very heavy, be prepared.

The food was good but it was quite heavy! The service left a bit to be desired.

My favorite when I travel to Stuttgart for work. Very good food and a beer... what better way to end your evening than there...

Hier toch lekker gegeten. Vriendelijke personeel en behulpzaam, Het eten kwam zeer snel en was lekker. Enkele was er heel veel lawaai in de zaal deze zat dan ook nok vol.

Leuke plaats, met gezellige drukte Eigenaar bij het binnenkomen wel onvriendelijk, arrogant zelfs, maar garçon nadien wel aangenaam, maar ook wel opdringerig Schnitzel besteld van 27Euro, maar deze was het zeker niet waard! 2 stuks ja, maar wel klein. Frietjes te hard gebakken en ook niet veel Bier was wel lekker en fris!

Very nice experience. I had dinner early (6-7pm) and came without a reserve, but I found free tables. The food was delicious, the service amazing and the restaurant cosy and beautiful. Highly recommended!

Big portions and friendly staff!

The best restaurant experience during our time in Stuttgart. Actually we liked it so much one day we came back again. Great vibe, tasty food and nice staff. The Apfelringe was a winner. Worth the trip just for that!

The schnitzel was very good, nice and thin and my special request was fried potatoes instead Fries were taken into account and made possible, my colleague's sliced ​​meat also looked very appetizing and, according to him, tasted good too. I would have one small complaint about the volume when it fills up is quite high, maybe something can be done about that, but it was also Saturday lunchtime.

The two of us had a meal here today and it was surprisingly good. Turkey was good and the spaetzle was great. Service started quickly. A little too loud for me. It could be better lit. All in all good so far. Any special requests will be addressed here. Simply great.

From the reservation on the phone to the cashier, everything was professional and good, our waiter was very friendly and accommodating, the food tasted good and the drinks were also very tasty. The menu is well structured and you can find something for pretty much everyone. The only small disadvantage is the noise in a very well-filled open restaurant. But that's not a bad thing, all in all it was very successful and I'll be happy to come back.

Avoid this place. First, we waited a long time for our food because the waiter messed up our order and forgot it. When we finally received our meals, one of the portions was incorrect. We tried to address the issue, but 1) it was very difficult to get the waiter’s attention, and 2) when we did, he offered a poor explanation and even began yelling at us. I have never encountered such a rude waiter before. We made several attempts to inquire about our food, but after a couple of his furious comments, we decided to give up. In the end, we wanted to pay with a card, but he insisted that it wasn’t possible because our table was closed(?!), which likely explains the mix-up with our meals. We ended up paying in cash, but we did not receive a receipt—only an inappropriate hand gesture from the waiter. We tried to speak to the manager, but he didn’t seem to care. Overall, the incorrect meal wouldn’t have been a problem since we were on vacation and trying to enjoy our time in Stuttgart, but the waiter’s rudeness ruined our day and was completely unacceptable.

Really delicious food, very nice staff and a beautiful view of the Schlossplatz! 100% recommended!

Traditional German food restaurant, where we liked all the dishes we tried. We have been in the city three times in the 5 days we have been in, so we definitely liked it. The only thing I liked less is that the waiters insist a lot on leaving a tip, and being forced to do so is a bit uncomfortable.

A great brewery to stop by. Even though we appeared in Fankluft (Borussia's away game), we were served in a very friendly manner. 5 🌟 We didn't eat anything but the menu looked very 😋.

Stopped here spontaneously after a stroll through the city, had a little something to eat and a glass of wine. Here you can sit comfortably and quaintly. The menu offers something for everyone. Day tickets change regularly... Prices are a little higher but quality is high.

Before I go off, let me set the records straight. The food is actually pretty good, worth a four star itself, might as well throw in extra half star for the beers and drinks. Then the SERVICE killed it all. Right from taking our orders, the waiter was in an aggressive mode. The dishes were later served by another young man tho, who by the way, was gentle and kind and cared enough to ask if we needed two small plates for sharing. At payment was the worst tip forcing I have experienced. The first waiter that took our orders, dropped the post machine on the table and saying “do you want to give 10% 15% or 20% tip”, without even looking at me. Since there was barely any service, I asked “why, is this by law in Germany” and got the answer as “in Germany, it’s a minimum 10%”. As I got stunned and did not say anything in three or five seconds, he clearly lost the patience and asked with a grimace “you want or you don’t want”. I just went on to say “no I don’t”, paid, and left. I’m sorry, but I don’t OWE you your tips, especially with that arrogance and impatience. The food is good, but I probably won’t go back.

Had dinner there with 4 adults after making a reservation. Everything was great. Service friendly, normal waiting time for food and everyone enjoyed the food. It was well attended even though it was a Sunday evening.

Great place for a beer on the terrace!

Superfreundliche aufmerksame Bedienung an der Bar wie auch im Restaurantbereich. Essen (Schnitzel/Kartoffelsalat) sehr gut und ausreichend. Es hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir den 2 Abend auch gleich wieder dort waren.

We entered without prior verification, spontaneously, because there were a lot of people sitting there. The waiter was nice and caring. The ordered dishes were really plentiful! Well seasoned. Delicious lemonade. A good place to rest and have a delicious break. I recommend

The food was very, very tasty, I can only recommend it. The prices are also completely okay. The service is great 👍

Recommended, reasonably priced, good beer 🍻
