das Nägel in Fritzlar

Great atmosphere, the food was delicious, the service was friendly

Chic restaurant, nice staff, food tastes good

A very nice atmosphere in this well-equipped location with a great team and then the great food, very rich selection with a really fantastic taste. It's definitely worth stopping here. If there are larger numbers of people, order in advance. Oh yes, there are no photos because of data protection.

Authentic restaurant with friendly service. We still got a seat on a Sunday without a reservation (had to wait a short time) and ate very well.

Today's visit to the restaurant, which we had made with family and friends on the occasion of a birthday, was a big disappointment. Most of the dishes were just lukewarm or cold and therefore had to be complained about. A tarte flambée was reheated and still wasn't returned to the table hot. The operator then had it completely rebuilt. Only then was it edible. 3 pizzas were not tasty. They are made with a spelled dough, which in one of the pizzas was so hard that it could not be cut. The pizza was made again, but that didn't improve the taste. The dough is like rye bread, the topping is like a greasy, indefinable something. Frozen pizza from the discount store tastes much better. My son looked in vain for the cheese on the cheese spaetzle; it was more like cream spaetzle. A Kaiserschmarrn had apparently thawed after being frozen and was partly still ice cold. The service tried very hard to keep us satisfied. The stars for service go in their favor. It seems as if the kitchen staff has no insight at all, which is a real disaster for such a traditional restaurant, where we have repeatedly visited in the past and been satisfied. Unfortunately, the discounts granted and the coffee on the house could not reconcile us.

Fine. We will be back. Rice pudding with almond milk was very tasty. Nice service, pizza a la chef, fish soup and Kaiserschmarrn. The latter could have been crosser and caramelized. Soup and pizza are great!

Very tasty food. When busy, mediocre service and very noisy.

Nice place, good furniture, pleasant atmosphere and excellent surroundings, the food not in keeping with the atmosphere

Very friendly service, nice ambience and a great Austrian-inspired menu that is second to none. We went there three times at lunchtime and each time the food was excellent

Very friendly and attentive staff. The food, I'll put it this way: in terms of taste, it's borderline must-have the cook has a bad day. Potato salad tasted sour and fermented. Soup bitter and sour with Maggi flavor. Salad too sour. Schnitzel little to no seasoning. I'm sorry, I would have liked to rate it better.

Doner kebab and Fallafeltaschen are recommended, large portions and really tasty. Ambience typical of a kebab shop, unfortunately all the tables had not been wiped down after the previous guest.

Very nice restaurant. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for service

Very nice ambience, great location in beautiful Fritzlar... delicious breakfast and great drinks, very nice service... it's so beautiful in northern Hesse...!!!

Unfortunately it was very crowded and loud that day.

Very unfriendly boss! When asked about a seat in the front restaurant area for lunch - “If you don’t like it here, then leave!”

Been there three times. The first time it was good, friendly service,... From then on it went downhill. 2nd visit waited almost 1 hour for the drinks, beer was then without foam. Boss sat at the counter and wasn't interested. The food waited almost 2 hours and was only mediocre in taste. On our third visit we were greeted so rudely that we left straight away. For a restaurant that claims to be the best in the area, there's a lot of room for improvement.

We had a wonderful lunch there today. It was extremely tasty and since it was part of the weekly lunch menu, it was also very inexpensive. This restaurant is an absolute recommendation. We'll definitely come back. Thanks!!!

Extremely delicious food with very friendly service and a great atmosphere. And Fritzlar is absolutely worth seeing

A very good restaurant. The service was really pleasant. We were served courteously but not intrusively. The food was very tasty and filling. The atmosphere cozy and inviting. All highly recommended.

Was there at lunchtime today, nice selection of drinks, will be dining here this evening. I liked it to be continued.

Went for a stroll in town, had some discomfort in my legs and stopped there. It was market day and there was a lot to see on the terrace in front of the house! The service was very quick, incredibly friendly and accommodating, despite many tables being occupied! The little something to eat and the beer came relatively quickly and was very good. The menu is extensive and there is something for everyone, whether young or old. If we are in the area we would love to come back!! PeterPtak

Great restaurant. Nice atmosphere, varied menu, delicious food. Top service with very nice staff and very empathetic waitresses. Only recommended!

Food was very good. The service was nice, but the side dish was brought to the table later and it took a long time until someone came to the table to take the order.

Only the wasps were annoying that day 😉

We didn't have much time this afternoon so we decided on the lunch dish. The two dishes corresponded to the price, which was okay. What didn't work at all was the salad that was served with the meal: old, wilted, with stalks, from the day before. As we were leaving the restaurant we saw the fresh version, it looked a lot better. Our impression: Regular guests get the fresh version, but unknown guests can be served the old salad. It's a shame, such a place is not recommended.

Yes, no there was a nice waitress but otherwise it was bad Why were there no unicorns❤️🦄

We went for dinner yesterday during the bike ride. It was very tasty and sufficient. The waitresses were very friendly and nice. Again and again 😀

Great restaurant in the old town of Fritzlar. Food very tasty at a medium to high price level. Absolutely recommended.

Had a wonderful lunch. Always my pleasure

Four of us had breakfast today. The waiting time from ordering to serving was almost an hour and then came several minutes apart, so we couldn't eat together. And we only ordered simple breakfast. Cutlery only came upon request. After asking three times, the accompanying orange juice came as a dessert. Really substandard service. Food was okay, nothing special.

Went there recently (not on Hessentag) and got a place outside, so far good, only with the friendliness, I still see room for improvement. E.g. I ordered springs, answer "We don't have" to which I asked why not, answer "Because our supplier hasn't delivered anything yet. Is that enough of an answer?" I think that would be better, even if that was true you could package it differently, so not full points for “service”.

Food is ok, but not outstanding. Service also varies in quality, especially when it comes to questions about the product. The bottom line is that the prices are a bit higher.

Food was a dream. The young man served us wonderfully!

Very nice restaurant with very good food. Staff very nice and friendly. The price-performance ratio is also good, not too overpriced. I ate a pizza there for around 12 euros and drank Almdudler, which was very well chilled. Really a very good choice if you want to go out to eat in Melsungen.

Found it spontaneously via Google and found it to be good. Great location, historical atmosphere, delicious food.

Food that tastes and looks delicious. Very friendly and attentive service staff available. Very pleasing!

Very cozy. Great, rich and very tasty breakfast.

The first time there. Lots of delicious food. Gladly again

Unfortunately, a lot of wasps...

Certainly one of the best, perhaps THE best place to eat in Fritzlar. Always my pleasure.

Very quickly served and tasty food.

I was there for lunch with a group, 39 people. We sat on the first floor in a very attractive dining room. The food was brought to the table for all group members so that everyone ate together. I had the tarte flambée which was tasty but a bit dry. When asked about it by the staff, they also gave an explanation: a guest in the group had accidentally taken the flambée I had ordered and now a new one had to be baked in a hurry. As compensation there was an espresso on the house. My companion got the nail pan. Very tasty and legal. Staff was always helpful and very nice. I didn't hear anything negative from other people in the group. Again in Fritzlar, gladly again!!!!

At first we thought it was a tourist trap because it was located right on the market square, but: Great food with fair prices for decent portions, nice service & a nice square around it with what's going on.

No feel-good character. Everything is very hectic. The “boss” seems overwhelmed. The staff does their best, but it's not easy. We waited 11/2 hours for food. We were blamed for moving from outside to inside. But they let us know. Even after half an hour it was still an issue. Criticism is not welcome here. Apart from expenses, nothing happened.

Had a wonderfully delicious Sachertorte with a latte macchiato.

Great food, nice staff and cozy.

Everything was very consistent... good food, very good service and acceptable prices. A recommendation !

What should I say or how should I describe it? The restaurant - the Nägel - was well attended. After what felt like a long wait, a service came. We ordered 1 cyclist and 1 specialist!!!!! When the waiter brought the drinks he said: A cyclist and a friend. I looked at the waiter perplexed and said that Cola belongs in a special. He looked at the Fanta in surprise and went to get a specialist. It stayed that way!!!! Nobody came anymore!!!! It's amazing!! It wasn't a particularly complicated order either.

Breakfast at the market square. A nice atmosphere. Food, drinks and service very good. The employees were very friendly, helpful and competent. I can recommend it.

Had a pizza 🍕 the topping was very good, the dough was not crispy

The food was ready quickly, beautifully prepared and very tasty. The service was absolutely friendly and accommodating and the prices were fair.

Very good food, great ambience and very friendly service. I can only recommend it.

Eating deliciously is part of the program. We really enjoy going to the restaurant and have always been very satisfied. The breakfast is also great

Food was good, everything was a bit more expensive, but ok.

Ate very well. The service was very pleasant and polite. Great service. The spinach dumplings were super tasty and the portion was very large. My husband's bakery with salad was super delicious 😋

Today we visited "das Nägel", the service was okay, the ambience was quite nice, but we didn't like the food that much. Instead of a hollandaise sauce a cheese sauce was brought, when I tried to return it they said it was a hollandaise. Definitely not! The gravy that was served as an alternative tasted “burnt”, as did parts of the meat. Unfortunately, the trout fillets also tasted musty. Unfortunately, the edge of the pizza was also black on one side. All in all: we wouldn't go there again. No recommendation.

Delicious food - best Austrian cuisine!!!

The beautiful menu promises more than expected... The quite good Flädlesuppe was only lukewarm. The waiter's comment was simply "it's fresh out of the pot" - that was all. When after 45 minutes the main courses still hadn't been served, but other guests who came after us already had their food on the table, we took the liberty of asking ourselves whether we would have to wait any longer for our food. The waiter's terse answer was "Why?" Repeated inquiries always resulted in “coming soon”. Only after we decided to pay for the soup and drinks so we could leave without eating did our main courses arrive after 5 minutes. It can always happen that the kitchen doesn't quite keep up or something is forgotten, but the way the service staff handled it, it shouldn't actually happen like that. A pity.

Very nice service. Great schnitzel.

Beautiful restaurant with Sher delicious food and the staff super friendly.... We'll be happy to come back 🔝🔝🔝

I've known Nagel since it opened. I would have given it 4-5 stars in all categories. Unfortunately, the quality has deteriorated significantly. Service is not unfriendly, but does not meet my minimum expectations. On our last visit 2 weeks ago we had veal schnitzel that smelled and tasted spoiled (sweetly rotten). We complained about it and got a new one that was the same and complained again and had no appetite. There was no funny comment from service, but there was no apology either. The chef should be interested in it the second time at the latest. Unfortunately it didn't appear. We didn't have to pay it. There was also potato salad, which tasted like ready-made potato salad. In our opinion, the typical consistency due to the addition of guar gum and the sour taste of the preservative could be recognized. It seemed like it was just decorated with pumpkin seed oil. The trout was fresh, but very salty including mashed potatoes. Drinks were good. Ambience is still very nice. There are also parasols everywhere outside. However, all in all, I unfortunately cannot recommend it at the moment.

Very friendly staff, I can only recommend the veal schnitzel and the schnapps, excellent. Nicely decorated, clean restaurant. Definitely worth a second visit. Still worth a visit two years later

Delicious 😋 food in a pleasant atmosphere....

Veal steak from the hot stone itself just sizzles Geilomat.....absolutely 😋 deliciously, your senses of taste will be catapulted to an unsurpassable level.....original veal schnitzel with crispy breading is top! nice staff all in all highly recommended 👍

Very unfriendly service. The plates were unclean from below. Cutlery wasn't that clean either. Food wasn't really hot either. Was taken back and heated in the microwave. It used to be better. A pity.

The ambience and the food were great, unfortunately the staff wasn't overworked, but they were still friendly and helpful.

The impression was certainly made by the Hessentag with a lot of guests. The service was attentive and very friendly. The side salad had already seen fresher times. Everything else was okay but fried with a lot of fat.

The food went well, it's just a matter of taste, I had imagined more for a meatball for almost 20 euros than just a small meatball (which improbably shrunk from 250 grams due to the cooking process) and 3 half potatoes (they were large, however). The side salad only came after I requested it and then shortly before the end of the main course, and he wanted to bring the beer I had ordered into the bill (I was able to do without it after half an hour). All in all, it wasn't the day of the Nagel team, maybe next time.

Ate the schnitzel... it was great... I can only recommend it

Good restaurant in the middle of the market square. Seating inside and outside. On the occasion of Hesse Day we went there on a recommendation and were not disappointed. Good selection, see map. Nice personel. Good portions (nicely prepared), also for children. The price/performance ratio is completely fine. Everything was very tasty, absolutely recommended. The only criticism; The service would have to be faster and more attentive, so you could have consumed significantly more than one drink per person during your stay, since the restaurant wasn't nearly full inside/outside. All in all, very good food, meat even prepared on the hot stone. Recommended. We would love to come back...

We were in Fritzlar and ate there. Unfortunately I'm disappointed, it was expensive leather and inedible.

Went to the Hessentag in Fritzlar with friends from Kassel. We have also visited the city on other occasions and always eaten our nails. It was all around good as always. Would love to come back.

The boss was very good, the employees were very presentable, the staff was great, the owner was very rude when asked for service and that unfortunately devalued the evening. This is where a man (woman) should still work under stress. But food was great.

Top address for good food, drinks and service.

Wonderfully eaten, everything was delicious

Good food, everything very good.

Stopped there with a group after a hike. Everything was fine. Fast, friendly service, very generous portions (difficult to manage despite a good appetite), price/performance ratio is ok.

Very tasty food but the service urgently needs to improve.

The food and the service have deteriorated a lot for the prices, I expect something decent for the 3x and unfortunately a clear not recommendation!!

High quality food but the staff ignores you and doesn't deserve a tip. There are long waiting times to even order a menu or drinks

Unfortunately, absolute unprofessionalism of the staff in the counter area. Private conversations are thrown across the room, completely disrupting the ambience. I now know who has a new girlfriend since when and why, etc. The food was good, but we still won't be back. Overall a stressful visit

Very good and very generous pizzas. In particular “la Laura” with fresh vegetables and above all lactose-free. I recommend this restaurant and will return if the opportunity arises. A big thank you to the waiters, attentive and very friendly.

We had lunch at Nägel on a Friday. We wanted to sit at a window seat, but we were immediately shooed away and told to go to another table as a couple. It's a real shame, because the window table at the very back right was free the whole time! The food was super tasty. There's nothing negative to say about it. But one waitress was really excited and very restless. I work in the catering industry myself and would never have sent people to another place if there were still enough places available. We weren't there long, just had lunch. That kind of ruined it for us a little bit. Otherwise we can recommend it there, it's cozy and the food is tasty. Greetings from Weimar

We spent lovely hours in the restaurant. The staff was very attentive, courteous and friendly! All wishes were taken into account and the food was delicious!!! A highlight was the hot stone. The portions were large and the menu has many great dishes! We will be back and can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience!

Very tasty food with good service in a nice atmosphere

The breakfast was very expensive and little.

After 20 minutes of ignorance from the service staff we left.

We only had a drink with 4 people, so no food review. There is still room for improvement in terms of cleanliness and service.

Breakfast: delicious Employees: friendly, competent, personable. I'm already looking forward to the next visit

Very tasty food and the service was very friendly, I can only recommend it

Great location on the market square. Very good food at an absolutely reasonable price. Atmosphere appealing and cozy, staff friendly and very attentive. Therefore a real recommendation.

German/Austrian cuisine at its best, very tasty.

We had reserved a table for Easter Sunday evening. We sat by the window - wonderful! The service was quick, the drinks were delicious, especially the Martini rosé Spritz. Unfortunately, the pan with pork fillet and fresh mushrooms had few mushrooms, the steakhouse fries were not very crispy and were in the sauce. We also had veal schnitzel with potato salad, the latter was left behind because it didn't taste good. We would also have liked the veal escalope to be crispier. The beef broth with semolina dumplings, the side salad and the dessert were very good. The restaurant is wonderfully located and has a nice ambience. The restaurant gets a second chance!

Delicious food, prices OK, service unfriendly.

Nice restaurant. Great location, right on the market square in Fritzlar. Modern decor, attentive staff, but unfortunately we were a bit unlucky with the food. It was newly prepared, salt was generous in one dish and not enough in another. It actually fits, but we were hoping for more simply based on the reviews.

We had dinner at Nägel and the restaurant left us with a really excellent impression: - The menu is not overloaded, but still offers a very nice selection; each of us could have found several dishes. The focus is on Austrian cuisine, but there is also pizza and tarte flambée. - Very friendly, attentive and child-friendly service. - Remarkably short waiting time. - High quality and tasty food with exactly the right portion sizes. - Nice ambience. - Fair and reasonable pricing. In a word: perfect! Unfortunately, we don't go to Fritzlar that often, but when we do, we'll definitely be happy to come back!

Unexpectedly delicious & top service. Fast as weasels

Great restaurant with delicious food such as the fried chicken salad. We've already celebrated a wedding there, but we also celebrated it there in a very casual and cozy way.

Very attentive and good service. Food was very tasty.

Very courteous staff. Actually, we had already made a complete reservation, but the very friendly service staff found a table for us since we arrived quite early for dinner. 1A Schnitzel Viennese style with potato and bird salad. The schnitzel is nice and crispy, the way you normally only get it in Austria. The espresso is one of the best I've ever tasted. The time window of 90 minutes was enough because the kitchen was “on point”. We'd love to come back when we're in Fritzlar.
