Dampfbräu in Zwiesel

Wir waren zu zweit spontan in diesem traditionellen Wirtshaus und hatten das Glück, noch einen Platz draußen zu bekommen. Trotz des vollen Hauses und des offensichtlich hohen Andrangs wurden wir vom Inhaber äußerst freundlich und mit viel Humor begrüßt. Man hat sich sofort willkommen gefühlt. Das Bier war hervorragend und das Essen einfach fantastisch. Besonders begeistert hat uns, dass es auch kleinere Portionen gibt – gerade für ältere Gäste eine tolle Möglichkeit, die hervorragende Küche zu genießen, ohne dass zu viel auf dem Teller landet. Der Krustenbraten war mit Abstand der beste, den ich seit langer Zeit gegessen habe: perfekt zubereitet, unglaublich lecker und absolut empfehlenswert. Ein rundum gelungener Besuch mit herzlicher Gastfreundschaft, gutem Essen und gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Wenn wir wieder einmal in den Bayerischen Wald kommen, kehren wir ganz bestimmt gerne wieder ein!

Ich bin mehr oder weniger zufällig dort gelandet, und mit Glück wurde grad ein Tisch frei. Lecker Bier, Essen ist super, Walter (der Chef) ist noch einer vom alten Schlag, schwer auf Zack und immer für einen Spruch zu haben. Ich komm gerne wieder 👌🏻

Moderne Küche geht anders...hier wird noch auf die alte Art gekocht... Kartoffeln und Spätzle sollte man nicht einfärben, sondern natürlich belassen. Schmackhafter ißt man in Zwiesel woanders. Preis-Leistung Verhältnis in Ordnung.

Wir sind wir gleich zweimal in unserem Urlaub Essen gewesen. Tolles kleines schnuckeliges uriges Lokal mit einem hervorragenden Inhaber. Das Essen war sehr lecker und hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt und das Preis-leistungsverhältnis passt. Der Inhaber hat immer einen frechen Spruch auf Lager, das mag nicht jedermanns Sache sein, aber uns hat es gut unterhalten und wir hatten jede Menge Spaß. Und das trotz des sichtlichen Personalmangel. Wir können das Dampfbräu auf jeden Fall empfehlen, für jeden, der richtig Lust auf gutes bayerisches Essen hat. Von uns ganz klar. Fünf Sterne. Schöne grüße aus dem Münsterland

Sehr schönes, gutbürgerliches Wirtshaus. Wenn man es authentisch bayrisch mag, wird man es hier lieben. Das Dampfbier ist saugut.

Super leckeres Essen mit großen Portionen, leckeres Bier und eine Wucht von Wirt, der sowohl für sehr gute Stimmung als auch für interessante Gespräche sorgt. Walter, Respekt!

Hervorragendes Essen zu echt guten Preisen. Der Wirt hat hat immer ein Späßchen auf Lager, da merkt man, dass er für seinen Beruf lebt. Ich kann dieses Restaurant wirklich jedem empfehlen.

Bestes Essen in Zwiesel! Unbedingt reservieren, kleine Gaststätte! Uriges Ambiente, der Chef bedient selbst mit Witz unsd Charme. Beste bayrische Küche, auch in kleinen Portionen im Angebot. Hier wird noch ordentlich gekocht, einmal gefunden, Rest des Urlaubs Stammgäste. Danke Herr Pahl, wir haben uns sauwohl gefühlt 😃

Walter, der Wirt, ist echt ein Original! Super witzig und macht Stimmung! Kann ich einfach nur als beste Adresse in Zwiesel empfehlen! Vielen Dank für den netten Abend am Dienstag!

Das Essen war gut bis sehr gut. Nicht ganz so gut, wie der Wirt von sich selbst überzeugt ist, aber gut genug. Ein Knaller ist allerdings 5,50 für eine 0,33 Flasche Cola. Das ist dann auch für notleidende deutsche Gastronomen etwas großzügig bemessen.

Wenn wir hier sind, gehen wir immer dort essen und sind noch nie reingefallen. Man ißt immer sehr lecker und reichlich. Immer freundlich empfangen und bedient worden und es gibt immer was zu lachen.

Nettes plätzchen, unkompliziert, bodenständig, menschlich.....gerne wieder

Wir waren zwei Abende nacheinander da, weil es uns (2 Pärchen; 55+ Jahre) ausgezeichnet gefallen hat. Die Karte ist nicht sehr umfangreich, jedoch haben wir diverse Speisen ausprobiert und genossen. Besonders hervorragend waren die Käsespätzle (EUR 8,90; gute Portion und lecker), die Leberknödelsuppe und als Hauptspeisen das Rindsgulasch, die Schnitzel mit den verschiedensten selbst gemachten Beilagen, der Schweinebraten und auch der Salat mit den Filetspitzen. Hier bedient der Chef noch selbst und unterhält positiv mit seinen witzigen Sprüchen das gesamte Lokal. Wir kommen gerne wieder in das Dampfbräu und trinken das Dampfbier (aber auch das normale Bier).

Wir waren im Rahmen unseres Kurzurlaubs bei Walter zum Abendessen und hatten einen wunderbaren Abend. Überragendes Essen, ein wirklich uriges Ambiente, was vor allem die lockere und fröhliche Stimmung des Wirtes ausmacht. Danke für einen kurzweiligen Abend mit absolut "sauguadn" Essen.

Wer richtig gut bayrisch essen will, ist hier genau richtig. Der Chef kocht selbst, vor allem richtig gute Soßen. Da kommt nichts aus dem "Packerl". Es gibt bei mehreren Gerichten auch eine kleinere Portion, wobei diese auch durchaus üppig ausfallen. Fazit: Eine gemütliche Wirtschaft mit sehr gutem Essen.

We managed to snag a table without a reservation. The service was very friendly and entertaining. The beer and food were absolutely delicious... even though they don't like to hear "delicious" used there... 🤣

Delicious food! Generous portions! Quaint, traditional inn

As rustic and down-to-earth as you'd expect from a Bavarian inn! Wild boar schnitzel with homemade spaetzle! Absolutely fantastic! A bread roll or something similar could have been served with the large salad platter with salmon… But otherwise: thumbs up! Don't miss the steam beer and the bloodroot schnapps. The highlight: the innkeeper is always ready with a joke – good times are guaranteed!

The restaurant, with its authentic and rustic decor, was very inviting. My Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle) were delicious, the portion was generous, and the quality was good. The service was warm and friendly, which was also due to the owner's good sense of humor.

Excellent regional food, absolutely delicious. The innkeeper is a real character.

Wow, we were absolutely thrilled with the atmosphere, the host, and the food and drinks. If you like a rustic setting, this is the place for you! 👍👍👍👍👍

Quaint restaurant with good food.

What a fantastic and well-educated host! A bit gruff in his manners, but try asking him about anthropology. Wow! The food is great, and the (steamed) beer is excellent, too.

Do not expect Sushi, but one of the finest eateries in Zwiesel.. Be aware of opening times and a vast delivery of pork.. Cause thats what they do best in Bavaria

Funny host, quaint little restaurant, food mega DELICIOUS, real Bavarian cuisine, absolutely recommended

Very hearty, super friendly host. Delicious food, very fair prices. Highly recommended.

A small, rustic restaurant with a cheerful host. We ordered roast pork with crackling, as well as a small salad. The salad more than exceeded our expectations, featuring a fresh leaf salad with a delicately balanced house dressing. The roast pork with crackling was delicious. Delicious gravy and two kinds of homemade dumplings. The roast pork with crackling was crispy yet juicy. Highly recommended.

Very tasty roast pork with sauce, sauerkraut and dumplings

Definitely a recommendation for good regional food. The selection isn't that large, but the food is exceptionally good. We had liver dumpling soup, cheese spaetzle, mushroom ragout with dumplings, and Kaiserschmarrn (sweet pancakes). Everything was delicious and homemade. Another specialty is the steamed beer goulash. The recommended drink is the homemade steamed beer from Zwiesel, a regional specialty. Various liqueurs in 2-5 cl glasses are also recommended. The prices are reasonable. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and otherwise serves hot meals from 5:30 p.m. to around 8:30 p.m. The staff is attentive and cheerful; the chef himself serves and always has a good joke on his lips. There's room for one or two larger groups in the back, or there are tables for four inside and a few outside. You should reserve a table before 8 p.m. or call ahead. There are a few parking spaces along the street in front of the restaurant and several hidden parking spaces when approaching from the back of the restaurant.

The owner is truly special. That alone makes a visit worthwhile. A one-of-a-kind. The food was also incredibly good. You should pre-order.

A really lovely little inn. It's best to reserve a table in advance, though. The decor is rustic and incredibly cozy. The food is a 5/5. You can tell the love is put into the cooking here. The portions were really generous, and the prices were absolutely reasonable. The innkeeper himself is always up for a bit of fun and really enjoys his work. If we're ever in the area again, we'd definitely come back. If they serve a small side salad, then it'll get a full 5 stars. And always remember... There's no such thing as "LECKER" in Bavaria, only "Sau guard" (a good meal).

Went on holiday with Walter in Zwiesel again. The Leberködel starter soup was fantastic! His crispy (or crispy) roast pork with dumplings is simply iconic. Just like Walter himself, a true innkeeper. An institution. It's great that they also serve small portions. On our second visit this year, I had Walter's steamed beer goulash for the first time. Here, too, a wonderfully rich sauce with a real punch and meat that could be pulled apart with a fork. Great taste, the man knows his stuff. The beer was great, as always there. The wild berry schnapps is also recommended. Walter knows how to make it!

Walk in and feel at home, assuming you get a seat. A true Bavarian pub where proper cooking is still done. The food selection is very hearty, as is typical in this region, and the portions are more than adequate. We ate there three times during our one-week vacation. Nothing more needs to be said. The host is a real character and always ready with a good joke or a lighthearted remark. The value for money is more than adequate. We'll definitely go there again for dinner if we ever find ourselves in Zwiesel again. Our recommendation: make a reservation! Otherwise, it might be crowded.

A small, cozy restaurant, highly recommended. We were lucky to be able to join a nice couple. Reservations are safer. The food is excellent; I had one, or rather three, wild boar schnitzels in a delicious herb breading with cranberry and mushroom sauce and spaetzle, while my husband had a large schnitzel with creamy mushroom sauce and spaetzle. We were delighted; it was very delicious and highly recommended. Average value for money.

Quaint pub with delicious food Very friendly host and warm service

Very nice restaurant! Quaint and cheerful host (or waiter). The food was very good! Highly recommended!

Quaint restaurant, great food, entertaining host

We're currently on vacation in Zwiesel. Our internet research brought us to the Dampfbräu. The drinks only took a few minutes to arrive, and the food arrived ten minutes after ordering. Unfortunately, they only had one roast pork (we had eaten at 7:30) left and were out of Wilde Berry (schnapps). The manager recommended a different schnapps to my fiancée, which she really liked. Unfortunately, he first brought it with flies in it, but apologized and immediately brought a new one. Unfortunately, we had to wait 20 minutes or more for the bill. That was a bit annoying. Still, I highly recommend it.

Authentic Bavarian with good steam beer!

We stumbled upon Dampfbräu by chance today. The food was incredibly delicious, the staff incredibly friendly, and the portions generous. The chef himself came out and chatted with us. You don't see that very often these days. The prices are great. They cook from scratch, nothing buys ready-made, and you can taste it. The sauces are quite thick and incredibly delicious. I had the goulash with steamed beer sauce. I hadn't eaten anything as delicious as that all holiday. The Bärwurz sauce is also incredibly tasty, and you can really taste the Bärwurz. All in all, it's excellent and highly recommended.

A very quaint restaurant with an even quainter owner. Authentic Bavarian country cooking, no frills. I had fried dumplings with bacon and egg – delicious! A huge portion of grated dumplings and sliced ​​bread dumplings, fried with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon cubes. The steamed beer was delicious with it.

We had a very good meal. Roast pork. The host has a special sense of humor. It fits the place very well. We'd be happy to return.

A witty and very friendly host and very good authentic food. We had fun.

If you want freshly cooked, authentic food and not prefab, you should go there.

Utopian restaurant with very good food and friendly service.

On our last day of vacation we got a table there and didn't regret it. I had the crusted roast, my wife a schnitzel and the child the dumplings with sauce. The child's portion of dumplings was 2 mixed ones. My child ate 4 because they were simply delicious. My wife says she has never eaten such a delicious schnitzel with mushroom sauce in the area, which also included plenty of mushrooms. The crusted roast was a dream. I've never made it so well myself. For dessert we shared a Kaiserschmarrn and an ice cream sundae. Here too we ate the best Kaiserschmarrn and we go to a lot of restaurants. The delicious sauce that went with the dishes and (as strange as it may sound) the salad dressing were particularly noteworthy. 👌 You have a very good cook and they keep it that way!! The chef served himself and did a simply fantastic job. I also recommended the restaurant in the vacation accommodation.

The food is very good value for money.

A small but fine restaurant with excellent food! It's always very busy; you really have to be lucky to get a table. That says a lot. Here, the sauce is still made from bones and vegetables, not with ready-made products – you can taste it! The owner is, of course, also a brand. Very friendly and humorous, always has a funny saying ready. Definitely recommend it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were here for the first time in 1996, and nothing (for the worse) has changed since then! The friendly host, the "really good" food, the quick and great service, and the funny sayings! We can only say: THANK YOU WALTER! It's a shame we were only in Zwiesel for a short time this year, but we'll be back! Nothing has changed in 2025 either! I'm here for the umpteenth time, receive excellent service, and feel simply GREAT! Best regards, the two Hanoverians 😃😋👌👍👋

Very good food and reasonable prices. Staff also very friendly.

Super host, food good so full points

The meat, side dishes, and sauces are high-quality and delicious, and I really enjoy the steamed beer itself. Unfortunately, we found the owner to be unreasonably rude. In retrospect, we should have gotten up while ordering and tried our culinary luck elsewhere.

The city is interesting and we ate a soup in the restaurant

Super delicious food, just as it should be in Bavaria. Rustic and hearty, we really enjoyed it. The host is friendly, as are the service staff. Thank you.

The owner of the Dampfbräu is truly a character – a textbook innkeeper: warm, humorous, and genuinely passionate about his guests. From the moment you enter, you sense the rustic coziness typical of a real inn. The food? Outstanding! The best Bavarian cuisine I've had the pleasure of enjoying in a long time – authentic, flavorful, and served in generous portions. A delight from the first to the last forkful. What was particularly nice: In addition to the excellent food and the relaxed atmosphere, we also learned a bit about Franconian history – the owner had fascinating anecdotes to share, making the evening even more special. A perfect stay – we'll definitely be back!

Quaint and cozy, excellent service!

We were there for dinner. All the tables were taken. We had a reservation. Our dog was allowed. Despite the limited space, the service was excellent; the chef was cheerful and authentic; we had a wonderful time. The food was of the highest quality and perfectly prepared. The portions were enormous. The roast was so rich with sauce that you'd have to drop to your knees. The schnitzel barely fit on the plate. We were very satisfied. Five well-deserved stars for the delicious food and the lovely evening. We'll definitely be back.

It was definitely a warm welcome! What hospitality and friendly staff/owner. The food was excellent. All four of us opted for a schnitzel. "With real fresh Pilsner"😃👌🏽

We were here on a short vacation. We didn't have a reservation, but we got a table. The restaurant, or rather our seat (right by the entrance), seemed dingy. Cobwebs, including the residents, and the windows apparently hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. The food was okay and the portions were good. Unfortunately, the sight of the dingy corner spoiled my appetite for dessert. (We ended up having it somewhere else.) The owner: grumpy and not very fond of women. Maybe that's his style. But he didn't seem likeable. The waitress, on the other hand, was nice. Still, I wouldn't go here again.

A quaint, cozy little restaurant with the best roast pork we've ever had. A cold, steamed beer, light or dark, and the day is saved. The owner definitely knows his stuff and is always up for a joke.

Food excellent 👍 I can highly recommend

The restaurant is rustic and not too big. But the roast is big and crispy

Super delicious food, good portions and a nice funny host

This is our third time there. It's always lovely! The host is always willing to accommodate! Highly recommended.

A textbook Bavarian inn. The owner sets the tone and always has a good joke ready 😂. The food was very good and the portions were generous.

No. Bad food, no flavor. The cheese spaetzle was greasy and thickened with cheese to a mush. Schnitzel with asparagus: asparagus was hard and not fresh.

Great food, good home cooking The chef is fun. See you again.

Very good Bavarian food and very friendly service. The chef cooks himself, and the food is consistently excellent and far from standard. If you're in Zwiesel, you have to stop by!

Friendly service and delicious, hearty food. We'd love to come back.

Not recommended! Very cramped and noisy. The food is rather poorly presented; the home-style cooking is okay, but the taste isn't that great. Not really suitable for dog owners.

The most amazing host and the best food I've ever had in a Bavarian restaurant. Absolutely recommend it. Whenever I'm in Zwiesel, a visit to Dampfbräu is a must. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

a small corner pub, the landlord is a Bavarian original with a lot of mischief 😄, the food is very tasty, the prices are cheap

The Dampfbräu in Zwiesel is a real gem that combines traditional Bavarian warmth with a modern, fresh twist. As soon as you enter, you are impressed by the friendly, dimensioned ambience - rustic charm paired with a touch of modern sophistication ensures that you immediately feel welcome and safe. The kitchen impresses with a variety of Bavarian specialties that are prepared with great attention to detail. Every dish – be it the hearty pork knuckle or the tender, lovingly braised beef roulade – is a feast for the palate. Fresh and seasonally selected ingredients, combined with traditional recipes, give the dishes a distinctive, authentic taste that leaves you wanting more. The culinary experience is complemented by an excellently curated beer selection. The freshly brewed beer, served from the in-house brewery, underlines the Bavarian hospitality and rounds off the enjoyment perfectly. The service also impresses with attentive and warm support, with every recommendation passed on with real passion and specialist knowledge. In short, the Dampfbräu in Zwiesel offers an all-round excellent experience: authentic Bavarian cuisine, an inviting ambience and service that leaves nothing to be desired - an address that definitely deserves a full five stars. A visit here is a must for anyone who wants to celebrate the true Bavarian way of life in all its facets!

Great with rarity value. Highly recommended! Keep it up, thank you.

Here you can still get traditional, handcrafted food without flavor enhancers or packet powder. You can taste and see that the sauces have been drawn from the bone, that everything has been slowly braised. Meat is tender, sauces taste great, the sauerkraut was very tasty, as were the dumplings. The guest room and the sanitary facilities were clean and well maintained. The guest room is not too big, decorated in a rustic Bavarian style and the innkeeper has a sense of humor and lots of sayings that make you smile. Price-performance ratio absolutely fine. We would definitely come back!

Great food, cozy Bavarian atmosphere, very nice host with humor

The food was great and the boss was humorous. Gladly again 👍🏼

Fantastic country inn serving both traditional Bavarian and innovative fusion cousine. Fingerlicking good! The proprietor and the serving staff are friendly, warm, and welcoming. The place is very busy, make a reservation if you don’t want to miss out.

Staff super friendly and communicative. The food was a treat! We would come back at any time.

The Dampfbräu is the best restaurant for us in the Bavarian Forest. Unfortunately, we don't remember what year our first visit was, it doesn't matter, we've been coming by sporadically for many years and were there again for dinner from February 28, 2025 to March 3, 2025. The food is amazing, so delicious and has been going on for decades, just fantastic. You would have to be able to stay longer to enjoy all the dishes. We particularly recommend the liver dumpling soup, the roast beef and the steam beer goulash. No, the wild boar roll roast also needs to be mentioned. However, there is also the very best Bavarian Forest schnitzel in the world. But you should also be hungry, the portions are huge and the prices are very reasonable. Many thanks to Walter for this pleasure and his super friendly manner, and of course also to the entire team. Stay healthy everyone, we will definitely be back. Thank you.

Very good home cooking. Sociable atmosphere and service

Great wild boar ragout. A super friendly host. The food came quickly. Good prices

The food was very good and the service was very quick and friendly. The salad dressing was very flavorful. The steam beer goulash with the 2 dumplings was very tasty! The meat was very tender. The Kaiserschmarn with applesauce is also a delight! The innkeeper was very funny and friendly. Gladly again.

Because of the positive reviews, we decided on this restaurant in the evening and were a bit disappointed. It's more like a pub than a restaurant. You can clearly feel that dogs are not welcome. It is not enough that it just lies next to the table but must be underneath it. Then it's better to clearly communicate that dogs are not allowed. The food was OK. But we wouldn't come again.

1. the reception in the inn: the boss himself welcomes you in his very special warm, friendly, Bavarian way (you immediately feel at home) 2. Drinks: very good selection of beers (steam beer on tap is highly recommended) 3. The two of us ordered a large salad plate as a starter. Very, very good mix of different salad variants. The dressing is excellent, made from white balsamic vinegar and mustard. 3. I had the steam beer goulash. What can I say, this was one of the BEST beef goulash I've had so far. You can't prepare it any better. I would order again immediately. Chapeau to the chef. Craftsmanship per excellence 👌 4. my wife had the pork schnitzel “Viennese style” with a green pepper and whiskey cream sauce, Very good quality meat, fried in the pan and the sauce is just sauguad. This is how it should taste in a middle-class inn/restaurant. Anyone who has a different opinion here has no idea!!!! Greetings from the Upper Palatinate chef

Quaint Bavarian restaurant, excellent food and good service

Shameless owner and bad food - never again! We were looking forward to a lovely evening, but this visit was a complete disappointment. The owner was incredibly rude and unfriendly. Instead of answering our questions politely, we were treated condescendingly. I've never experienced anything like this! About the food: The roast was completely dry and barely edible, the side dishes were bland and tasteless. The prices are a disgrace for the quality. If you value good service and delicious food, you should definitely avoid this shop!

Delicious food, funny host, value for money is right Would love to come back

cozy atmosphere, delicious German cuisine and a good selection of beers

Simply great! Excellent food, great value for money, funny and friendly hosts, great atmosphere. We would love to come back and can only recommend a visit! We recommend the “Apfelstrudel” (for drinking) and the “Difickiano” 😁.

Small, very cozy guesthouse in Zwiesel with around 30 places. Excellent food. Wild boar, steam beer goulash with bread dumplings, crusted roast and Kaisersmarrn. Everything sucks. I found the children's menu particularly positive and the fact that some dishes also come in small portions. There are also salads, cheese patties, etc. that vegetarians are happy with. Three main courses, 2 desserts and 5 drinks for 80€ - absolutely fine. And great hosts. Will definitely visit again.

Very cozy and rustic inn in the center of Zwiesel. Attentive and funny host. A real original. The menu doesn't have the largest selection, but it is varied and everyone can find something to suit them. Price performance and service are also top. I'm always happy to come by. 👌

Wirt is over the top with his comments. When things get naughty, the fun ends at some point. Food okay.

The best crusty roast in a long time! And tasty steam beer! A quaint and nice host. My dog ​​was also warmly ❤️ welcome. Keep it up!!!

Had the beef goulash and the mixed roast there today - a poem! You can tell that they still cook something fresh every day and don't buy anything. The sauce on both dishes was amazing. Unfortunately, this is no longer a given these days. Gladly again at any time!

Stopped in with friends and had a delicious meal. Everything else was super good, cozy and very friendly staff, always happy, thank you

Had dinner there yesterday and it was great. The innkeeper was also very nice. Food came very quickly😊

Here you'll find the best roast pork far and wide.

The innkeeper is truly unique and very entertaining. The beer tastes delicious and our food was excellent. We can highly recommend the roast beef and the steamed beer goulash.

Super tasty food, even for vegetarians, often with parmesan, but you can cancel it. The ambience is of course a matter of opinion, definitely rustic. The owner is of course a brand in himself, you have to like him, I think he's great! The employees are okay, people often ask questions, but they often seem annoyed and don't really fit in as far as their type is concerned.
