Der Clown in Schwäbisch Hall

Wine selection? Forget it! I have no idea how a steakhouse can offer four wines – one of them with a screw cap. The food is okay – but I expect more from a steakhouse – especially regarding the quality of the meat…

Excellent service, great atmosphere, but above all, the food (chef). Very popular with tourists from abroad as well.

We had lunch at the steakhouse Der Clown on Sunday and it was a truly wonderful experience. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff friendly and professional, and the meat is of excellent quality – perfectly cooked and very flavorful. The side dishes and homemade sauces are also superb. An ideal place for anyone who appreciates good food and a relaxed lunch. We will definitely be back!

Completely satisfied. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was very friendly. They even gave us a complimentary espresso. I'd gladly come again.

The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient. Drinks arrived very quickly, and after a brief consultation with the waiter, we ordered three burgers. They came promptly and were absolutely delicious! The meat was fantastic and beautifully presented. The ambiance is lovely and decorated with great attention to detail. The Clown is highly recommended!

We had a great time as a family enjoying burgers and steaks. The staff took good care of us, and the service was quick. Definitely worth trying if you're craving beef.

I was only in Schwäbisch Hall for one day and wanted to find something to eat in the evening. I found this restaurant, "Der Clown," on Google, the pictures appealed to me, and I wasn't disappointed. The food was really good, the small restaurant was nicely and comfortably furnished, and the staff was very friendly, attentive, and kind. Not exactly cheap, but definitely worth it if you want a good steak. I highly recommend it. Cheers, Tom

The food was very good, which is to be expected given the prices. The atmosphere is cozy, but noisy. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely booked. This meant we had to wait a total of two hours for our food (one hour for appetizers and one hour for the main course). Unfortunately, despite repeated requests, the servers failed to bring our (simple) orders (drinks and extra salads).

Great food, best burgers, had three different ones and the grilled salmon. Everything was perfect! Thank you!

The burgers and fries were really good, and the price was right. It could be a bit more cozy, but that's a matter of taste. It was a nice evening.

Great atmosphere, delicious food.

Highly recommended steakhouse! We weren't familiar with Schwäbisch Hall and stopped in spontaneously with 14 people – without a reservation. Despite the large group, we received an immediate, very friendly welcome and were quickly seated. The service was top-notch: attentive, warm, and perfectly organized. The food was consistently excellent – ​​most of us had burgers that not only looked great but also tasted amazing. The meat was cooked to perfection, and the sides were fresh and delicious. We were particularly pleasantly surprised by the prices: really fair for a steakhouse, rather inexpensive, especially considering the quality and the great service. An all-round successful evening – we'll definitely be back next time we're in Schwäbisch Hall!

Great place, tasty meat, excellent service, English-speaking staff, making communication easy, and the waiter also offers dish suggestions. We really enjoyed it!

We had lunch at Der Clown and were thrilled! The German Burger and the Caprese Steak were both excellent – ​​perfectly prepared, superbly flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was also fantastic: friendly, attentive, and very warm. Highly recommended. We'd love to come back!

Great food and nice people and a great atmosphere

Excellent customer service, a quiet atmosphere. Very good food and good prices! Highly recommended! Excellent customer service, a quiet atmosphere. Very good food and good prices! Highly recommended!

I ordered two smashed burgers for pickup over the phone. Everything went great. Best food in town by far. I'd happily go back anytime and a thumbs up to the kitchen.

Perfect dinner. Was great service, from very friendly personel. The food tasted great and the drinks were also good. I have nothing to complain about. It's not the cheapest restaurant but you get what you pay for. We will come back, and we highly recommend it!

Unfortunately, there was a lot of chaos with the orders at the table that day

I ask for medium raw, I got medium well. Other then beef over done. All others are good. Nice place nice weather nice beers

I generally think the food there is very good and tasty, but the last time I was there, the wrong food was served after a 1.5-hour wait, and it wasn't really warm either. The dishes and cutlery weren't particularly clean. I think that's a shame. Hopefully, this review will help change that.

Absolute favorite restaurant! The burgers are always a 10/10, as are the sides and the Black Hugo 😍 Absolutely recommend!

Only found out about the higher price when it was served. No attempt to accommodate the guest. We've been there for lunch several times now. After we had ordered something different from the lunch menu every now and then, we were better off sticking with the smashed burger with fries from the lunch menu for around €12. Every time we visited we had to point out that there was no soap at the sink, no towels, or that the toilet paper was out. In addition, one of the drinks you want is always out of stock (apple juice, Mohrenköpfle - not there even though it is on the menu) or paying in cash is complicated because there is no change. I supported the wobbly table with a folded napkin... This continued to lie snugly under the table leg for 5 weeks and apparently didn't get in the way when I wiped it out. -> I won't open my restaurant like that. We still went there a few times at lunchtime because the smashed burger from the lunch menu is fair at around €12. -> But this time was the last time. We were there with guests (again no toilet paper in the cabin, unfortunately the drinks we ordered weren't there, despite the mentioned egg allergy, mayonnaise was used, etc.), ordered the smashed burger 4 times from the lunch menu and more. When the food was served, we found out that the boss decided not to offer a lunch menu today because yesterday was a holiday (you won't find the logic). When we asked the service that it didn't work that way and we were very upset about having to pay €20 for the usual burger instead of €12, all they said was "The boss decided that way for today. It was a mistake that there was a lunch menu on the table." We won't come back, you're losing a customer here. Unfortunately, the restaurant had no interest in finding a solution here. Quite the opposite. We were asked back whether it wasn't exaggerating to be angry. It was only about €15 that was overpaid because the lunch menu was spontaneously not valid today. (The burgers now cost €80 instead of €48, and the mistake wasn't the guest's fault). And it is the restaurant that would rather lose a guest because of this amount. The most annoying thing is that the restaurant loses the guest for the future and does nothing at all.

This restaurant is worth a visit, the food and the service were super good and we will definitely come back.

Great burgers and very friendly service. Definitely recommended

The map sounds promising, the implementation is stable. In Schwäbisch Hall you would expect a different quality of meat with a more regional reference. The Clown delivers a steakhouse feeling from the 90s: steak with fries and sauces with an “unusual” taste. Unfortunately there is little modern grill and BBQ feeling... today you also expect convincing side dishes... vegetables, fresh ingredients and creativity. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The store is also busy. In the end, the clown was missing that little extra that makes you want to come back again.

Best restaurant we can only recommend ❤️❤️❤️

Had a great time here. Loads of variety, good food, and excellent service.

We ate there last August after our civil wedding. It was absolutely perfect! The initial consultation, service, and food were all truly outstanding! When we went back last week, we were once again warmly welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed our evening! I can truly recommend this steakhouse to everyone!

Amazing place with high quality food!

Food was really good, service could be better.

Haven't been to “the clown” for years. I am familiar with the ambience and find it very appealing even for a steakhouse!! The most important thing, the food... I ordered a beef fillet (medium), unfortunately it was completely raw... I sent it back to fry, then it came back half charred. In addition, the last part of the steak had a fatty and gristly edge around it. The rest of the dishes were partly good, crispy chicken burgers and the rigatoni were also very tasty. BUT it can't be that the worst food in a steakhouse is the steak... About the service: The plates were still on the tables 30 minutes after the last person had finished, and the bartender's recommended cocktail was good for that.

Even though the store was empty, I got something different than what I ordered after an hour and a half. The burger arrived raw. Thank God it only costs 20 euros.

We waited 1 hour and half of the order arrived incorrectly. First steakhouse that doesn't ask how you want your steak (burger). Price performance doesn't fit

Delicious, rich menu. Also something for veggies/pescatarians. Super friendly and attentive service. 👍🏻

It was cold. We ate quickly and left. The food was okay, but the cold dragged us away and somehow didn't allow us to properly evaluate the food. It's a shame ☹️

Ate cheeseburger with “mac & cheese” for the first time in the house yesterday. Price/performance unfortunately not justified... Cheeseburger with good meat had too much mayo and instead of bacon there were diced ham on it... unfortunately mac & cheese had absolutely nothing to do with what was served (baked penne).

Service was catastrophic but to be honest, the food was really good.

Four of us went to the clown yesterday. Conclusion: food with weaknesses, unfortunately service too. We had to ask twice about the dessert menu and the espresso we ordered only came after we asked further. Half of my cocktail (Black Hugo) consisted of just ice. Two huge chunks of ice in an opaque black glass... There wasn't a single berry to be found in my friend's Lillet Berry, instead there were four grape halves. I think you can definitely have frozen berries in stock... The burger I ordered, the side dishes and my meat (fillet) were top notch, but our men's meat was very thin, not "medium" as ordered, but completely cooked through. That shouldn't happen, especially in a steakhouse. As an apology we were offered free schnapps or espresso. The three desserts we ordered were delicious, but were not served together. My husband had already finished his dessert when mine arrived...The tables in the restaurant are also very narrow, I sat back to back with the person at the table behind me. The two of us paid €120 for this evening, so the price-performance ratio is simply not right.

It was cold in the entire restaurant. Out of 5 meals, only one was ok and the correct order came. The steak was well done instead of medium and full of chilli oil or chilli flakes. The salmon steak was charred black. One burger was cold. Two orders came incorrectly or incomplete. Out of 5 meals, only one was right and OK. Plus 1½ hours waiting time for the food. Juicy prices for that. That was the last time for us in the restaurant.

Great place to visit. Went twice this week it was so good.

Absolutely bad shop, waiting times of 1.5 hours, overwhelmed service, not recommended!

We had a reservation for lunch. The restaurant has a trendy decor, the welcome was friendly, and the service was a bit sloppy but very engaging. We weren't cold either. The burgers (we tried three different ones) were all delicious, juicy, and well-seasoned. The bun had a great texture, and the smoky sauce was particularly good. The price was okay, but still affordable. We'll be back; next time we'll try the steaks 😄

Somewhat slow service. The food is good if you like lots of meat and not so many vegetables.

Super delicious food, it was our first time there and we will definitely go again.

1st day cold steak. 2nd day was perfect and 3rd day wrong steak cut and poor attention. No return again.

I don't understand all the good reviews. The food mediocre. And for the prices the quantity is very disappointing. The waiting time was extremely long. We had to wait 15 minutes before we could order. After almost 20 minutes the drinks arrived. We only got the starter 45 minutes after we ordered it and the main course only came a little over 1.5 hours after we sat down. Or one hour and 20 minutes after ordering. In addition, the soap in the toilet was empty all evening. All in all very disappointing.

Very friendly reception, very good advice

Very tasty burgers and steaks. Super nice service and great ambience.

Very very tasty food. Super nice service. Everything is right there.

The prices for the lunch menu online are 9.90 and on site 12.90. 30% more :-(. Food was good but small portions.

Large selection, but unfortunately you don't get the meat exactly as ordered. I ordered the same stick with friends, once rare, once medium, both were exactly the same way through.... Some of the meat was a bit full of tendons and cartilage. Over-salt garlic bread. Mac and cheese is more of a pasta bake. The Oreo cheesecake is very good

We ate there six months ago and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, today I experienced something completely different. We waited a total of 2 hours for our food. Unfortunately, no one came to offer us any more drinks in the meantime. Everything wouldn't have been so bad if everything had worked out with the food. Unfortunately, almost everything went wrong there too. Fries were ordered and wedges were brought. The bun of the burger was so burnt that it was unfortunately inedible. We then kindly pointed this out to the waiter. He also tried to make amends and accommodated us with the price. Overall, we are absolutely dissatisfied and still cannot understand what has changed so much in the last six months. Actually hurt for money.

Highly recommended. Good food and nice hosts.

Super tasty food, very nicely prepared. The burgers are great, the meat is of high quality. If you have the time, you will definitely enjoy eating. The guys are a bit lazy at times when it comes to service when there's more going on. But always polite, friendly and accommodating.

High quality and the prices accordingly

Super friendly service and delicious food 👌🏻Clear recommendation for this steakhouse.5*

We went to this steakhouse on a recommendation. We had an hour's drive and were not disappointed. Super friendly and attentive staff. 1A quality. The meat and sides were on point. The cheesecake folks is awesome. We felt completely comfortable. Thank you for this lovely evening. We'll definitely be back!!!

Great food, great service, good advice. Always happy again

I absolutely don't understand the negative reviews. I had dinner here for the first time with my family today. The restaurant was almost fully booked. The service staff (the two nice guys) gave us a very warm welcome. Even though we hadn't made a reservation, the owner was nice enough to organize a place for us anyway. As I said, the service staff were very, very nice and accommodating and of course they did their job very, very well, always with us asked again if we needed anything, if everything was OK. The spaghetti with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese and our starter salad with grilled chicken were very tasty. Even though the store was full, people came Our 2 entrecote steaks medium well done within 15 minutes. I've been to many very well-known steakhouses in Stuttgart and the surrounding area, but these steaks, fries and potato wedges were really the best and tastiest. It just doesn't get any better. The restaurant was very nice and very very clean. Price-performance unbeatable. Many thanks to the owner (head chef) and the entire team. We will 100 percent come back again and again. We are from Heilbronn, but for such good food and such good service we are happy to drive 1 hour to Schwäbisch Hall🙏🏻☺️❤️

The food was very good. Great meat. We were a large group, which certainly made the coordinated provision of starters, side dishes and main courses difficult. I'll come back and then there will be 5 stars. Today only 4 3/4.

Food is very good, but takes far too long up to 2 hours 😕

The best stakes in town !!! Great service and very polite people!!! Definitely worth the visit!!!!

Top quality steaks. Good price-performance ratio

Best Steak House! Thank you very much my dear friend you are grateful.

Super tasty, great service, we felt so comfortable. Great evening, everything went well. We'll be back

The food was really very tasty, but the service was rather poor. The employees were very friendly but not exactly the fastest when it came to delivering drinks and the menu. Still a good restaurant

Very pleasant atmosphere, food was super tasty and large portions. Service was very attentive and super friendly. Would love to come back.

Delicious food with a great atmosphere! And also delicious drinks, I highly recommend it!

great burgers and side dishes 👍

Great service, very good food at a fair price

A very good steakhouse. Good selection, fair prices. There were 10 of us, and everyone was satisfied. The meat quality is very good. The picture shows a chili cheese burger.

A very good steak house. Good selection, fair prices. We had dinner with 10 people. Everyone was happy.

It's a great place to sit outside. Great atmosphere. 😊 The food was okay. The burger was relatively tasty - the steak was nothing special. Unfortunately, the order was completely mixed up. The starter wasn't as described on the menu. The side dishes for the main course were completely mixed up, and we were asked to swap the side dishes (which were next to the burgers). After informing them that this wasn't possible, we were graciously given a proper portion of fries. We had to swap the rest.

We were here for lunch. Despite the extensive lunch offerings, we opted for the burgers and were not disappointed. Incredibly delicious smash and crispy chicken burger! Check out the pictures of the burgers for yourself... The burgers were both juicy, the buns were just right, the sauces were delicious and the fries were crispy and spicy. The truffle mayo was also super tasty. The owner is also super nice and accommodating. All in all, tip top and highly recommended!

Mega, Meat fried to perfection and tastes great. Not exactly cheap but very good quality. Will definitely come back.

It was a magical evening with very competent and friendly service. The food was very tasty and well prepared. The ambience invited you to linger and enjoy. Can only recommend it.

Great burger and steak shop with a good selection and very tasty food. The quality of the meat and the side dishes is very good and tastes fantastic. The team is also incredibly nice and accommodating, but never intrusive. We will certainly stop by again soon. Keep it up, you're really great!

The service was great. I have gluten-lactose and glutamate intolerance and the waiter helped me find a suitable meal for me. He answered all of my questions and gave me very good advice. He was very friendly and very competent. 5/5 for the waiter. The food tasted very good, very fresh and homemade. The plates looked very, very good. 5/5 for the kitchen. The cocktail and mocktail were very well mixed. 5/5 for the barman. The ambience was ok, you can still do a lot but that's a matter of taste. I would definitely recommend it and we will go there again.

Waited for a very very long time. Other tables got their food earlier

The food was very tasty and would be recommended to everyone

We were guests at the “Clown” in Hall twice. I learned from other local brine bath guests that the restaurant was formerly called Sonne and also offered very good food. The menu reads very well, the Instagram account goes one better. It's grilled, iced, jellyed and what not. On the first evening everything was great. Prime steak sensational, fries wonderful, sauce impeccable. My better half was also full of praise for her chicken skewer. The following day the excellent kitchen performance could not be maintained. The linguine became spaghetti, which was almost overcooked. Very good taste in itself, slightly of truffles and the fine scallops, but the pasta was too soft and had no bite. I had loins, but unfortunately they were oversized. Ordered medium done, came done high two. The pepper wedges with Parmesan sauce were excellent. Service is excellent, gives good wine tips to go with the food. The boss also does this well and always seeks contact with his guests. The free crème brulee ended up saving the second evening. We'll be back. Recommendation.

Unfortunately there are no more truffle fries.

Really Recommended, ". The steak I ordered was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. The service was excellent and the staff was very attentive. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. Can't wait to come back!"

Absolutely top restaurant! The food is super delicious and the staff are without exception friendly and helpful. We come here very often and it is consistently the same high quality, no matter what dish you choose! We can really only recommend the restaurant!

were very satisfied and enthusiastic. Service was top

Very good food, service friendly but a bit overwhelmed.

Went there today and had a delicious meal 👌 Great service.

Very nice staff and the food is very, very tasty, easy to recommend.

Attentive. Very friendly. Delicious dishes Very good, tasteful interior design

My husband and I had lunch today. We ate very, very tasty food. The two different steaks we ate were very well prepared. Service was very good. Courteous, well-groomed and courteous staff. Our praise was passed on to the chef, who was happy about it and then thanked us personally. The dessert was also delicious

I haven't eaten so well in a long time. Absolutely recommended and top location. Perfect from the appetizer to the cocktails to the dessert. The service had a little snag but the boss fixed it. Thank you, it was a great evening with you and we will definitely be back.

Delicious, nice atmosphere and service.

Delicious food combined with friendly and nice staff made our evening unforgettable. The fish and meat were juicy and delicious. All dishes were prepared individually. I recommend the rosé wine Chardonnay.

By chance we ended up in this beautiful place and this exceptionally good restaurant while traveling through with the motorhome. Very attentive, unobtrusive service, pleasant atmosphere, high-quality, delicious food. A restaurant that we would like to see more often. Thank you for the lovely evening 🙏

Always delicious, The Clown is always worth a visit. 😋

Extremely nice staff. Great food. Price is high, but quality has its price. The waiters definitely deserve a good tip. Very family friendly.

The meat was superbly prepared. There were four of us and everyone had something different and everything was very good.

As a group we had reserved a table at 8 p.m. You would actually assume that a table is free or will be kept free. That wasn't the case, we were asked to wait a moment. We had to wait outside in the cold as the restaurant was completely full as was the bar area. In the end we waited outside for 20 minutes until we were finally offered a table. There was no place setting for everyone, and the waiters probably didn't notice this either. The staff was friendly, but there was a lack of attention. The food was good but nothing special for the price. We actually expected more, even based on the reviews.

Despite having a reservation, we had to wait outside in the cold for half an hour. Then waited over an hour for the burgers. A burger was ok, but had the wrong side dish, the chicken burger was burnt and dry, a disgrace for €15. There weren't even cutlery and napkins on the table for everyone, maybe the steaks are better, but I certainly won't go there again.
