Das Wirtshaus Hauptbahnhof in Frankfurt am Main

This is a terrible restaurant. The food is terrible, the service is rude, and the attitude is bad. I don’t recommend anyone to come here to spend money to feel comfortable. They would rather go to a fast food restaurant than eat here.

Unfortunately a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. I ordered Kaiserschmarrn, but the dish arrived burnt. Even though I returned it, I still had to pay because the waitress said she would have to cover the cost otherwise and she was almost in tears. I will definitely never go here again.

So pleased we found this Bistro. We have had 4 most enjoyable meals. The service has been quick and the food beautifully cooked. A bonus is the staff; happy, helpful and they put up with me practising my Deutsch 😂

It's great that there is something like this in the main station! The food was super tasty, beautifully presented and fresh. Large selection - everyone will find something here. The atmosphere is cozy and nicely decorated. Everything clean and modern. The employees are friendly and accommodating. Definitely coming back.

Great pub with lots of choice for young and old.

In addition to freshly tapped beer, the inn in the main train station offers an extensive menu with more rustic Hessian dishes. It took almost half an hour for us to take our drinks order. The only waitress walked past us several times without clearing the table of the previous guests' dishes. Unfortunately, after taking the order, the drinks didn't come quickly. Several minutes passed before the food order was taken. However, the schnitzels we ordered were really tasty and the portion size was appropriate for the slightly higher price. The toilets, on the other hand, were in an unacceptable condition, the area with the sink that was shared by men and women was completely filthy and the trash can was not only overflowing, but the towel paper was on the floor all the way into the guest room.

Disgusting hygiene is a disaster 🤮

My previous review was deleted by this restaurant, which I find disappointing given the unacceptable behavior towards customers. Therefore I would like to share again my negative experience in this restaurant. I would give 0 stars if that were possible. As a tourist, I definitely cannot recommend this restaurant to black travelers. The experience my friend and I had here was shocking and unacceptable. After a simple ordering mistake - we ordered a cappuccino and received an apple spritzer - the boss immediately reacted aggressively. Instead of calmly fixing the problem, he physically attacked my friend. Such behavior towards guests is completely unprofessional and disrespectful.

Obnoxious service, rude waiter, mediocre food for the prices charged. Better off with food stalls at the station.

Good home cooking, the food is served quickly and has a very good price-performance ratio. In general, the inn is very rustic and you feel like you've been transported back to the 90s. Only the dirty seats (upholstery) are unsightly.

€6.50 for a medlar (typical Frankfurt schnapps) borders on a rip-off. I'm never coming back. Mice also run back and forth, but no wonder if all the doors are wide open. Ambiance also strange, Eminem in a pub. 😅🫣

An absolute gem among taverns! I recently visited the pub and was amazed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, and you immediately feel welcome. The menu offers a wonderful selection of traditional German dishes, prepared with great attention to detail. I particularly recommend the schnitzel, which was perfectly fried and incredibly tender. The ambience of the inn is authentic and cozy – exactly how you would expect a traditional German inn to be. You can tell that value is placed on quality and hospitality here. Another plus point is the beautiful terrace, which invites you to linger on warm days. Overall, a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone who appreciates good food and a cozy atmosphere. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!"

You want to go out for a drink with a few friends and encounter rude staff. The eviction was the icing on the cake, just because the waiter was asked to be polite. If you can't smile, you shouldn't open a business.

Unfortunately very rude staff, since we arrived we weren't treated very kindly and were finally thrown out for reasons that couldn't be explained. If you're not good with people you shouldn't open a restaurant!

ATTENTION YOU MUST AVOID REMOVAL BAD REVIEWS!!! Here is my review, which they removed via complaint to Google: To avoid. I come by there often and thought I would give it a chance. A cordon bleue with fried potatoes was ordered. It was dry and tasteless. Instead of fried potatoes, I was simply brought fries without asking, which were also disgusting. They want 20€ for this, which I find a disgrace. Blümchen/Boomerang was playing in the background. The waitress wasn't particularly attentive either. I won't eat here again. I will rewrite this genuine review every time someone tries to delete it again. Unbelievable. Instead of just running a better pub...

I had the pleasure of visiting the inn recently and absolutely loved it! The food was a real culinary delight. The menu offers a wonderful selection of traditional dishes. The side dishes, such as the homemade potato salad and sauerkraut, were also delicious and rounded off the taste experience. The ambience of the inn is simply enchanting. You immediately feel comfortable and welcome. The rustic interior with wooden furniture, traditional decorations and cozy lighting creates a welcoming and authentic atmosphere. The service also deserves special praise. The staff was extremely friendly, attentive and accommodating. Our order was taken quickly and the food came to the table in a reasonable time. In addition, we were always served with a smile and felt well looked after. Overall, I can warmly recommend the inn. A true insider tip for anyone looking for excellent food, a cozy atmosphere and first-class service. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

(28 Jul 2024) I have eaten here a few times over the last couple of years, I am not sure when it stopped being Sam's and became Das Wirtshaus, except that I never went in when it was Sam's and have really only known the place being what it is now. I have generally only good things to say about this place, quite cheap, (Bowl of soup or Goulash, with break & a drink under 10€ in Central Frankfurt), quite a lot of space to sit, a godsend when it's been utterly freezing outside, generally a nice place to dine alone and watch the world pass by, I'm never troubled by any of the homeless, etc. I'm not expecting anything too much from the soup, except that it (a Vegetable, a Potato or a meaty Goulash) is always thick and hearty and served with free bread. There's a large TV up on one wall, but the sound doesn't dominate, nor does the music when it is on. The staff are nice and speak good English and German. Sure there are 100s more places to eat in Frankfurt and much classier dining, but generally this is one of the more comfortable places to eat in Frankfurt station.

Uninvited people will be removed immediately and effectively. Unfortunately, this is a necessary evil at Frankfurt main station. The restaurant is a pleasant and safe place with decent service and decent cuisine. Clear recommendation for all decent people.

Very tasty schnitzel and top service.

I was here last Saturday and was very satisfied. Great team and both the food and drinks are very good. And an additional thank you to Katharina for the song request (Texas - Prayer For You), because the song was not available in any other jukebox in Frankfurt. That being said, see you soon :)

A great place to play Doppelkopf.

The food was tasty and had big portions. The waitress was really attentive and professional. Highly recommended!

The saying “better than not” doesn’t apply here. The schnitzel was picture perfect. In hindsight, I would have been better off getting on the transport towards Switzerland hungry. An eraser would probably have been more delicate. At least the iced tea was good, probably because it wasn't homemade. I'm done, inshalla.

The worst pub I've ever been to, with the unfriendly service. The service in particular was extremely rude and made the stay hell.

I just wanted to eat something and got some nonsense with sauce...

Unfortunately you can't give 0 stars. By far the worst pub I have ever been to in all of Germany. I have never met a person as unfriendly as this waitress in my life. This certainly has NOTHING lost in the catering industry. He was VERY disrespectful and rude to us throughout. The drinks were brought to us rudely and carelessly. Any reference to the type of service was only met with even more disrespect. I would never in my life enter this “Wirtshaus Hauptbahnhof” again. I would rather go to a kebab shop with standing room. I wouldn't recommend this store even to my worst enemy.

Excellent atmosphere and delicious food. Big compliments to the kitchen

I visited on the night I arrived in Germany. I had German beer and schnitzel. The beer was sweet and not bitter, and the schnitzel was crispy and very tasty. Credit cards can also be used. This is a German restaurant that you can feel free to stop by.

Unfortunately we didn't get around to ordering because the staff threatened to throw us out. The reason for this: after we got the card, we should order directly (3 people and only 2 cards). After 3 minutes we are asked to order. Because we weren't sure yet, we wanted to have a moment. The gentleman didn't like that and called DB Security to throw us out of the store. I've never experienced anything like that.

Actually the worst visit to a restaurant. All because of the employee (Indian). Unfortunately you can't give 0 stars. Rudest employee in the world

Very good food, friendly staff and can only be recommended

A fantastic culinary experience! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was just great. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy German cuisine in a great ambience.

Despite the unfortunate fact that I missed my train and had to wait, my visit to this German restaurant was a real highlight. The food was delicious and definitely made my wait. Highly recommended!

To avoid. I come by there often and thought I would give it a chance. A cordon bleue with fried potatoes was ordered. It clearly came from the freezer and was dry and tasteless. Instead of fried potatoes, I was simply brought fries without asking, which also came from the freezer. They want 20€ for this, which I find a disgrace. Blümchen/Boomerang was playing in the background. The waitress wasn't particularly attentive either. I won't eat here again.

I recommend coming here if you have limited time and have to stay in the main station, but if you have more time, leave all the addicts and beggars behind and go somewhere in the city. The restaurant itself also does not have a great atmosphere, it’s very echoey, the music is annoying, but the service and the food were pretty good. We had the potatoe soup with sausages (8.90€) and the Wiener schnitzel with roasted potatoes (15,80€). There are lots of food options in the train station (like a lot) but I went to this one because it seemed to have the most authentic German food there (saying that as a German). Overall it’s good but not great!

On April 24th at 6:06 pm I was at this location and an unfortunate incident occurred where I and others witnessed a manager verbally abusing an employee and firing that person very publicly for all guests to see and the worker was visibly upset and crying. I don't know what happened here that led to it there, but honestly it doesn't matter. There was no excuse for this type of degrading treatment of a staff member and I truly hope that this type of degrading treatment of staff at this facility is addressed. I would hate to return to a facility like this if I knew something like this was happening here!

Cozy inn right in the main train station. The food was good - certainly nothing special, but perfectly fine for a dinner on the way home. I had the Käsespätzle and I've had much worse ones in my life. ;-) Service was a bit scatterbrained, but also very young and shy. Apparently new staff? But very friendly and everything went pretty quickly. In contrast to other reviews here, the bill was completely flawless and correct. Overall, a nice break from commuting, especially considering what the station district otherwise looks like. It's really like a little world in itself. You don't necessarily expect a real restaurant with decent food at Frankfurt train station.

Good card. Enjoyed a train waiting beer. Nice service lady. Price/performance ok

Very comfortable and well maintained bar at the end of platform 24. Considering the dodgy environment in and around the station this is am oasis. Friendly service. Comfortable seating. Large screens to watch the game. Reasonably priced beer. I enjoyed the local Binding pils and the Schofferhoffer wheat beer. Both very good. Much better than a lot of bars in the vicinity.

Boiled meatballs with potato salad are called Hessian meatballs 🤣🤣🤣 I prefer German meatballs from the frying pan 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Good beer and poured quickly. Unfortunately just the wrong one. Because a light yeast wheat beer is not a light pilsner. It still tasted good.

Unfortunately it was too late and all the schnitzels were already sold out, but there were still delicious meatballs with potato salad and green sauce. When there is a trade fair, you can understand that if things go haywire. But the service was very nice.

Very nice restaurant! Very tasty food Vivien and Eniza were great waitresses 😊

Nice restaurant - but slow service. The food we ordered came quickly, but then nothing worked.

Where to start… 😅 The service was just not ready yet to really serve 4 hungry guests. And I mean guests in general… the dear lady was slightly in over her head with just basic necessities and order of food and offering ketchup to fries… But oh well, we came for food. Then the food arrived and each plate was more dire than the one before. Even a very simple dish as Currywurst was butchered into a dry mess. We were hungry and tired and changing the venue would lead to more discussion, we were not willing to have. So we ate, but we did not enjoy it.

Service unfreundlich unverschämt einfach falsche Personen am Arbeitsplatz,, leider gibt's nicht minus Sterne beim Bewertung,, und noch dazu überteuert nie wieder

Wir sind hier abends nach unserer Ankunft in Frankfurt noch eingekehrt, da wir keine Lust hatten uns noch ewig in der Stadt ein Lokal zu suchen. Dafür was das Wirtshaus ganz in Ordnung. Da nicht wirklich viel los war haben wir gleich einen Platz bekommen. Vom Ambiente her ist das Lokal okay. Den unteren Bereich finde ich nicht ganz so einladend. Der Raum wirkt irgendwie kühl und man schaut auf die geöffneten Türen der Küche und dem Zuweg zu den Toiletten. Das dürfte gern etwas einladender sein 😉. Auf der Speisekarte sind jetzt nicht wirklich viele Gerichte, aber es reicht vollkommen aus 😉 Unsere Bedienung war sehr nett und unser Essen kam auch recht schnell. Ich hatte eine Gulaschsuppe, die geschmacklich gut war, aber leider etwas zu flüssig. Ansonsten war der Rest des Essens auch ganz okay. Für den schnellen Hunger kann man hier auf jeden Fall mal hin.

Essen lecker, preiswert. Getränke geht so. Bedienung freundlich. Toiletten nicht so dolle. Um während der Wartezeit ordentlich zu essen, zu empfehlen.

Super Inhaber & Angestellte, immer wieder!

Wir wollte vor unserer Zugfahrt noch schnell was essen und haben gefragt, ob dies innerhalb einer Stunde möglich sei. Als nach über einer halben Stunde keine Bestellung aufgenommen wurde (während der Kellner den Nachbartisch sofort nach deren eintreffen bediente), sind wir gegangen.

Beste und freundlichste Bedienung, vorallem Katharina und Xenia! Immer hilfsbereit und Mann muss nie lange warten. Essen schmeckt. Ambiente gemütlich! Kann es nur weiterempfehlen und komme auf jeden Fall wieder! Daumen hoch 👍

DB delayed? Stop here. Great bartender, solid selection of beer, lovely music. Plenty of room for your bags. Lucky to have this during an unexpected missed train. Cheers!

Sehr sehr schönes Restaurant im Hauptbahnhof mit leckeren Speisen und Getränken. Preis - Leistungsverhältniss ist auch sehr gut 👍

Nettes Restaurant, wie man es an einem Hauptbahnhof nicht erwarten würde. Frisch zubereitete Speisen, Preis-Leistung top und alles lecker. Wir hatten ein riesiges Schnitzel mit frisch zubereiteten Bratkartoffeln für 15 € und mit Pfeffersoße 18 €. Netter freundlicher Service. Ambiente unter dem Bahnhofsmotto. Ein Punkt Abzug beim Ambiente, da alle Ausgangstüren offen standen und es gezogen hat. Wir kommen wieder :-)

The server name came to our table but to give us good. I ordered the soup and some French fries. The soup was purée potatoes which I thought it would be different potato soup, but that’s ok. I added the sausage and it was meh. Nothing special. So I was excited for the fries. However they weren’t anything special either sadly. So I paid and left after several bites. I had to go back upfront to get the bill. Just not my cup of tea.

Sehr höfliches Personal und das Ambiente ist auch sehr schön Die heute antresen wahren um 18:00 Uhr haben mich auf die Toilette gelassen ob wohl ich kein 1€ hatte sie haben sich mit dem zufrieden gegeben was ich in geben könnte ich kannes verstehen das sie Geld nemen weil bei ein Standort wie an Bahnhof muss man's machen also liebe Leser geht hin und bitte bestellt euch was und genießt die gastfreudlich keint dort und nutzt ihre Freundlichkeit nicht aus das würde mich und die Bedienung freuen

Essen und service waren in Ordnung, hatte Schnitzel und nen kleinen Radler,aber dann kassierte ( zockte) mich die Bedienung ab.22€.Hä 15 fürs Essen,? Fehler eingeräumt. 21,...? Hä Ein kleines Radler 7 €. Schaut euch immer die Rechnung an und lasst sie nicht mitnehmen. Nie wieder.

Eigentlich 5 Sterne leider war das Fleisch zu klein für den Preis darf der Teller auch gerne voll sein

Bastante agradável a experiência. Cerveja muito boa e muita simpatia. Obrigado principalmente ao Dennis!

Fizemos escala em Frankfurt e aproveitamos para beber um copo neste local e ficámos deslumbrados, tanto pela simpatia como pela cerveja! Recomendamos vivamente, obrigada principalmente ao Dennis pela disponibilidade e amabilidade!

War heute im Wirtshaus am Hauptbahnhof und war wirklich überrascht. Mann hört ja so viele schimes über dem Hauptbahnhof aber das wirtshaus dort ist wirklich fantastisch, sehr sauber mit deutsch Musik und top engagierten Mitarbeitern. Wir hatten den Hankässe Bürger und denn Bauern Salat, beides Gerichte die wir nicht kannten und wirklich super geschmeckt haben. Wer euch weiter empfehlen und auch wider kommen.

Super Lecker. Ich kann diese Location nur empfehlen.

Ich war sehr positiv überrascht mit dem Restaurant Das Wirtshaus am Hauptbahnhof, wirklich gutes frische zubereitetes essen.wurden von dem Betriebsleiter persönlich bedient… Der uns dem handkässe Burger empfohlen hat, der wirklich fantastisch geschmeckt hatte… Werden auf jeden Fall wider kommen…

Ich war heute im Wirtshaus am Hauptbahnhof in Frankfurt und hatte nach Empfehlung das Keller denn handkässe Burger... es hat sich erst etwas komisch angehört aber hat wirklich fantastisch geschmeckt.... Kann ich wirklich nur weiter empfehlen.... Ich selbst werde bald wider kommen....

Zufall endeckte ich und meine Freundin das Wirtshaus am Sonntag. Das Location ist super, essen schmeckt sehr gut. Sehr sauber. Wir wurden an dem Tag von Dennis bedient. Dennis ist sehr freundlich und wir waren sehr zufrieden mit seinem Service. Typische leckere Deutsche Küche die hervoragend schmeckt. Immer wieder gerne. Ich kann die Location nur weiter empfehlen.:)))

Wir waren zum ersten Mal im Wirtshaus am Hauptbahnhof. Wir waren sehr positiv überrascht. Der Service war sehr freundlich. Wartezeiten waren kurz. Das Essen kam heiß, die Portionen angemessen. Zu den Käsespätzle gab es einen frischen Salat, der sehr gut und schön angerichtet war. Wir würden wiederkommen, wenn wir wieder in der Nähe sind.

Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Essen war mega lecker :)

Den 5. Stern hätte es gegeben wenn das craft nicht aus gewesen wäre, ansonsten war es lecker, schnell, sauber

Great place with excellent beer and curry wurst. Very attentive and quick service. Very meaningful name in German - Wirtshaus 🤘👍🍺🍻😎 After a long day of traveling, right from the train, went directly here. Highly recommended!
