Drei Linden - Zum Krapp in Erlangen

We visited here for the first time in a long time. The food is still good, but the service was unfortunately disappointing. The waitresses seemed stressed, it was a rushed affair, and even a simple request for some mayonnaise was met with an annoyed no. The highlight, however, was when my daughter started a nosebleed that didn't stop immediately. My request for a cooling pad was met with a rude, resounding "no." When I asked if we could get some ice or at least a wet wipe, I was simply left standing there. Only later, when the waitress noticed my heavily bleeding nose, did she finally bring us a wet wipe. When I said that was exactly what I had asked for, the reaction was unfriendly again. Apparently, they can afford to treat customers like this here – after all, the place is still busy. However, I won't be coming back.

Never in my entire life have I experienced such bad schnitzel. The schnitzel was thin and at first I thought it was potato pancakes with no flavor! The waitress, an older lady in her 50s or 60s, was a disaster. We decided it would be the first and last time! I'd rather have less on my plate but top quality!

Great portions Well seasoned Will be back

The food comes quickly, tastes good, and is reasonably priced. I'll be back. Highly recommended 👍

We used to eat here often and tried it again today after years. We ordered schnitzel to take away. The staff on the phone and in the restaurant were very friendly. The schnitzels were pounded nice and thin, fried crispy, and, as usual, huge. We paid just over €10 for half a schnitzel (which is about the size of a plate) including a side dish. That's unbeatable value! We'll definitely be back.

It's a disgrace to call something like that a schnitzel! My schnitzel was at most 2mm thick and tasted like everything but schnitzel. Every schnitzel stand does better than this. I'm still speechless... I can only recommend the Sportheim Milan to anyone who wants to eat a good schnitzel!

We were at the Drei Linden Restaurant and were actually hoping to spend a pleasant afternoon. Unfortunately, the experience was anything but pleasant. We ordered four shots and were immediately treated condescendingly. The waitress told us we "couldn't stay too long," even though we had reserved a table for 5 p.m. and had already arrived at 3:30 p.m. Food was supposedly only available from 4:30 p.m., and even though we weren't loud or conspicuous, we were even refused a shandy on the grounds that we were already "too drunk." The way we were treated was extremely rude and disrespectful. We were prepared to spend a lot of money there, but after this treatment, we left. We felt this was absolutely abysmal – this is no way to treat guests. I would not recommend it!

Very tasty and large schnitzels. Really great. But you should reserve a table.

Top place to eat schnitzel in Erlangen. I was there again today after 15 years. My expectations and memories were confirmed. 😜

If you like schnitzel and want to fill up, this is the place for you. The savoy cabbage is great! The waitresses are very nice and prompt. The home-brewed beer is very good in the 0.2 tasting glasses, but with the 0.5 it becomes more difficult. The restaurant and beer garden are well maintained and clean.

Very large portions for the price. Always delicious and friendly staff! However, I think it's a real shame that there is no more mayonnaise... sorry, but fries or schnitzel and fries need mayo... I'm very sad!

Of course, the food is great and plentiful. The waitresses are warm and quick.

Quantity does not always equal class. The portions were large and a feast for the eyes. The service was on point and very friendly. I also think the prices are ok.

Friendly staff, good food, large portions

Very tasty schnitzels! The waitresses are friendly and there is a beer garden that can also be used in bad weather because it is covered.

Highly recommended. Plenty. Yummy. Cheap.

I don't know of any other restaurant with such a good price-performance ratio.

Great schnitzel restaurant, despite the quantity there is no loss of quality. The in-house beer is excellent 👍The waitresses are all super friendly. We are regulars!

The food was very good and very plentiful. The staff very friendly and on the ball. I would love to come back.

It's simply awesome - the best schnitzels around!

Nice staff and amazing schnitzels...gladly again.

When the weather is nice 🌞, the ⛱ shaded outdoor seating is very popular. A special attraction is the beautiful water fountain on the neighboring property. The additional 🍺 seasonal beer that goes from the barrel to the bar is offered on a board. What should be emphasized is the unpretentious friendliness of all the employees! On my next visit I will definitely try out the promising menu. Promised! 😀

You basically get 4 schnitzels for the price of 1

Good schnitzels in numerous variations. Delicious every time no matter which one you take. The staff is also on the ball, friendly. The restaurant is very busy, you should definitely make a reservation. In the outdoor area, which is partly heated, you can always find spontaneous space in winter and summer. The only thing that is a bit unpleasant is the atmosphere, which is always very loud.

Huge portions of schnitzel! Nice economy, nice service, fast service. Current daily menu.

We are lucky that one of our children has an apartment in Alt-Erlangen, a few minutes' walk from the “Schnitzelkrapp”! So we always have the opportunity to stop by there. An Eldorado for schnitzel fans. A large selection of different schnitzel variations is offered. Also seasonal (such as with asparagus), or a themed schnitzel for the Oktoberfest season (with Obatzter and red onions). You can choose between a half portion, which is two medium-sized schnitzels, or a whole portion with four pieces. Side dishes are freely available to choose from. Food is delivered quickly by friendly waitresses. A reservation is recommended. I can only speak for myself here: I have never been disappointed, it was always fresh and very tasty! Price-performance is unbeatable here. Always my pleasure!!! Now new: our own beer is brewed here! My favorite is the “Helle” (Seebrunserla). There is also an Alterlanger Landbier (Keller) and a Weizen. Every now and then there is a “special beer”. Update August 6, 2021: There are now so many types of beer that I can't mention 😂 just try it - they're all delicious. Keep it up!!!

Had dinner there with my girlfriend and it was very tasty and very good. Super fair price! Unfortunately we had to sit “outside” because of the closed company, but that wasn’t a bad thing :)

We ate schnitzel today, super tasty, huge portions, short waiting time and great value for money. Highly recommended again and again :)

Super warm staff! The food: Large portion. Taste: Excellent Price-performance ratio, unbeatable. Always happy <3

The best schnitzel restaurant for many years, but also other good dishes. Very friendly service. A few of our own beers, especially the Kellerbier, tasted very good. Great restaurant for carting!

Always delicious and lots of it. Nice atmosphere and quick service. Only recommended.

The Drei Linden zum Krapp restaurant is by far the restaurant that wants a fattening meal. Nobody believes me, I ordered Viennese style schnitzel with fries and when the food came I just thought who would manage this portion, there are 4 XXL sized schnitzels on the plate and the fries underneath, who can do the whole thing off to eat the place. The Blaue Traube Turnerbund in Erlangen has completely sunk this restaurant. The 4 XXL schnitzels with fries cost 15 euros. For this portion, the price is really a gift. The entire service team was friendly and nice. I'm very at peace and would love to come back. This restaurant also offers a great atmosphere at the Alterlanger Kärwa event with its own beer garden stage and live music. Always happy, Long Live Drei Linden.

Great restaurant with good, tasty portions and super friendly staff

Great local restaurant in Erlangen, with the highlight being the Schnitzel. Portions are huge so be careful when ordering; one portion is enough for two adults. You can order half portions. Despite the big sizes, quality is great and not expensive, totally recommended 👍

We had a lovely Christmas party there. The waitresses were all very nice and all orders came quickly. Food was great too.

What a precious gem in Erlangen! Best schnitzel I ever had, we chose the Jägerschnitzel and it was perfect. The mushrooms were tender and the sauce perfectly made and smelling so good! We also had another one with paprika, garlic, sour cream and Gouda cheese, my personal favorite! Very kind service. We'll definitely go back.

We’ve been a couple of times. It’s always good. Fast service. And a good choice of schnitzels. This time the special with Sriracha Mayonnaise and Sweet Chili sauce was a hit! Small portion means 2 schnitzels by the way. A large portion is 4!

Were here in September. Great schnitzel Very nice staff, both had schnitzel I can only recommend eating here

The best and largest schnitzel in the area. We definitely come once a week. The special schnitzels are always great. Highly recommended!!!!! Nice staff Prices are fair The schnitzels are huge From langos to chilli con carne, there is just about everything. Only recommended.

Disappointing visit despite reservations I've been to this restaurant before with my family and had a good experience - the team was friendly and we liked the food. So we decided to come back last Sunday with a larger group of families and friends. Despite making a reservation in advance, they were unable to offer us suitable seats when we arrived. The employees seemed nervous and were rude and unaccommodating to us. One suggestion was that we could eat standing up if we couldn't find a seat. This was of course not acceptable for us as guests. We also heard some derogatory comments from other guests that made us feel unwelcome - including the comment about whether we were in a bus stop since we were a larger group. It would have been far more respectful and easier if we had been informed in advance that it was not possible to accept our group. Then we could have made other plans.

** Even 1 Star is too much ** Very Bad experience Yesterday we called the restaurant to have reservation and we were almost 7 families with kids and the one who answered the call said you can come and don’t need a reservation. When we arrived the restaurant was almost full and gave us one table even there were another free tables around us but when we ask they says it’s reserved and they didn’t offer any help and sorry to say they were just ( Rudely speaking ) One of us asked (( how can I eat without having a place ?! And the waitress there replied rudely it’s not my problem you can eat while standing!!! )) We decided to leave and when we told her she replied it’s ok no problem go away!!!! *** Very very unprofessional and it wasn’t the first time for them acting this way with us But this time I couldn’t resist writing this bad review for her sake ( the waitress and her sister I think because it seems to be family business ) Always acting this way bad when we come as a group (( we spend really about 100-120 € per family every time and giving also good tips )) Again very bad experience and they ruined our outing yesterday

One star is a lot. We called and wanted to make a reservation, but were told “you don’t need a reservation, just come along.” Very unprofessional and unfriendly service on site and had to leave without ordering anything!!! with the statement “You just come”

Very good food, super nice staff

Wer fränkische Küche oder große Schnitzel mag ist hier genau richtig. Hatten diesmal abgeholt. Super Sauerbraten, sowie Schnitzel und sehr knackige und leckere Pommes

Pretty big portions and the prices are really reasonable for Erlangen. We were positively enthusiastic. The schnitzels were very good. Staff quick and very friendly.

Here I ate the biggest schnitzel I saw in my life. The place is very friendly & food is delicious.

The best schnitzel in Erlangen. Very well known. Before you go, be sure to call for space. And only half portion is enough for normal people :D

Any recommendations, see you again 😋😋😋😋

Always worth a visit - delicious Franconian food, known for its schnitzels

The Schnitzel was absolutely amazing, exactly like it should be! The portions are very big, so sharing is a good idea. We had a lovely waitress and are looking forward to our next visit!

As always - excelent service and tasty food

Fat, juicy different schnitzels, fair price, only recommended

Mega delicious schnitzels, and a huge portion, unbelievable. Would be happy to come back at any time and can only be recommended

As always, great food and super friendly service. Price/performance is right.

Well, it's just the size that doesn't matter... the meat in the schnitzel is sometimes only 2mm thick (mainly it's breading) and the fried potatoes are also rather semi-sweet, so overall I don't necessarily have to go there again.

Perfect for eating well and enough. The beautiful ambience invites you to relax with friends and enjoy the good home-style Franconian cuisine. The portions are huge and the aluminum foil is already ready at the table to wrap up 😀 The kids were also happy about the bottle of ketchup at the table, so there wasn't too little available. Thumbs up - have to recommend!!!

Very good food Service: very friendly Price performance: TOP

We feel very comfortable in the beer garden. Food tasted very good.

Great schnitzel restaurant in Alterlangen with a first-class selection. Huge portions at very good prices. Simply delicious.

Nice beer garden between small houses. Big variety of Schnitzel. Please order for one person half portion or if you want to share with another person 1. Beer is tasty as well. Nothing to complain.

I just say “schnitzel”. The food is not only good, but also very rich. The portions are so large that there are rolls of aluminum foil everywhere on the tables.

As a well-known schnitzel house, I would have expected really good schnitzels with wavy breading. Unfortunately the breading stuck to the schnitzel. Deep fried instead of pan? And spices (salt, pepper) are absent. But instead huge portions. Whoever likes it. Not a repeat factor for me. The only thing that stands out is the friendly service.

Best schnitzel in town for many years. Always delicious. Service is excellent.

Nice Franconian atmosphere. And you will definitely be full. I didn't see a guest who didn't go home with a package of wrapped schnitzels. Huge portion and delicious. We recommend.

Eat good. Huge portions and super friendly service. It's worth it

I can only recommend this restaurant! It is very busy and the food tastes excellent. The portions are so large that you can even take half home with you at a price that you only get half as much in other restaurants. The price-performance ratio here is (not quite anymore, see edit) outstanding. The restaurant is very nicely and tastefully decorated and the sanitary facilities are also satisfactorily clean. Edit: One star deduction for the fact that the fries are becoming fewer and fewer and, above all, mayonnaise costs €1 for a small bag...

Addendum on May 18, 2024: “Mayogate at Krapp” (-1 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) Dear Krapp family I understand price increases of +25% for schnitzels, changed opening times, but fries without mayo are like dumplings without sauce… Greetings and see you soon, even if I have to bring my mayo with me... —— When you go to Krapp it is clear what you are getting. Always nice service with good food at fair prices... we go there every now and then - and have always been satisfied... Today we had the madder skewer (a giant shish kebab) with delicious and hot fries... for currently €9.50.

Hello Robert and Alex, we would like to thank you for a wonderful Saturday evening! Mega delicious food! Great service (Birgit, Natalie...)You are all just great!!!**** Greetings Gaby and Udo...see you soon :)

A lot to eat, you'll definitely go home full, but in my opinion it's quantity over quality. Questionable schnitzel variations that seem to be really well received. Unfortunately they didn't convince me, at just under €19 a proud price for this quality. The sauce for the Jägerschnitzel was very reminiscent of a ready-made sauce with a cup of flavor enhancer, the mushrooms in it were not particularly cooked through. The light beer, which calls itself seebrunserle or something similar, was by far the worst beer in years. My palate was surprised with a sour taste followed by a thin drink. A beer from Keller brought me back down to earth. The service is very nice and always up for a laugh. Courteous and loving. Thank you very much for this. The food came quickly and the winter garden is charming. A hearty restaurant in Alterlangen - with “Taco” schnitzel

"A really nice restaurant with delicious food and a wide selection of dishes. The staff is very friendly and the service is quick. The prices are fair and reasonable for the quality of the food. Overall a pleasant experience that I would happily recommend."

Very tasty beer and as always great big schnitzels!!! 😊

Large portions and super tasty, if there is anything left over there is packaging material

My husband, my son and I have been coming to eat madder and schnitzel at least once a month for years (approx. 10 years). The schnitzels, in whatever form, are awesome...my favorite is the "three linden salad" I could get into that. The boss is awesome, very friendly and very personable, and of course the other waitresses too ;) I'll leave a very warm greeting here. We always enjoy coming back.

Super large portions Very friendly service

Huge schnitzels and good home-made beer The parking situation is terrible. It's best to walk or cycle.

Nice hostess, cozy atmosphere and delicious food.

Can't say anything. French brusgedda - Subba

We regularly eat at “Drei Linden” and we are always very pleased with the food. We love it!!

This is the place to eat all kinds of fresh homemade schnitzels! Come with a great appetite as the ‘half’ portion still counts 2 schnitzels!

Unfortunately, the tranquil coziness of a Franconian inn has given way to a modern restaurant. But they brew their own very good beer!

Today there was a schnitzel special (schnitzel with ham and grilled green asparagus and gratinated with cheese) with a homemade Franconian potato salad. The portion tasted so delicious and was huge. That's enough for me for the next day. Eating out here is a fantastic and tasty journey for the palate. I can only recommend eating here with the whole family or even alone.

Great food, especially German cuisine. Large selection of schnitzel variants. Roast on Sunday 👌👌👌

The schnitzel looks similar to a potato pancake, but is bone dry. In the Hawaiian version it is edible but not a culinary delight. The restaurant is iconic and the service is very nice and quick.

Food .. price-performance ratio ok, very friendly service. However, after leaving the restaurant, all of the clothing smells like kitchen/frying oil and needs to be changed! Very bad parking options.

Wer es Defizit und lecker haben will ist hier richtig. Große leckere Schnitzel Gerichte gibt es hier. Wir haben uns das Essen diesmal heim geholt, die Pommes sind der Wahnsinn

Wafer-thin schnitzels, little meat and more breading; looks more than it is. Eating without any special demands. Not recommended for these prices. The argument is that food prices have increased, which is no longer true. You have to eat it.

Good Franconian cuisine, especially delicious schnitzels in all variations! Very friendly, humorous and courteous staff! The portions are really big! You can also order half portions, which are also sufficient. There is foil everywhere on the tables for wrapping or you can bring your own containers. The waiting time from ordering to serving the food was very short and really commendable for a Sunday (Easter)! The Cordon Bleu with fries in the photo is half a portion! Definitely recommended!

My best experience of Schnitzel! Thanks to this restaurant and my colleagues who were with me, I had the chance to have the best Schnitzle in my life (so far). Will definitely go there again.

Very tasty food. Price performance ratio unbeatable. I can only recommend.

Staff super friendly... food is really good... if you like schnitzel you should come here... And if you come out here hungry, it's your own fault 😁

I had the Viennese style schnitzel(s). The portions are huge with 4 schnitzels per person and fries for €18.50, absolutely fine. The taste was also super delicious, I would happily go there again. The only thing that I found a bit annoying was the noise from the other guests. It wasn't particularly suitable for entertaining on the side, but that's the case in many restaurants.

By far the best schnitzel in the area, I can only recommend it.

Very tasty 😋 Bring a large selection and be very hungry. Home-brewed beer on tap 🍺 But a little too warm

Everything was great... only recommended...!!!

Personally, I find the schnitzels too thin. The meat here is plated so thin you could read a newspaper through it. Even in Vienna, schnitzels have a good 4-7 mm. But when it comes to the perfect thickness, opinions - and tastes - differ. But the food tasted good ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and the side dishes were just as plentiful (potato salad or fried potatoes are very tasty). The service is very good, even if you don't have bowls with you, something to take away is offered and the service is very friendly.

We used to go there regularly, but then the quality dropped. After almost a decade we went there again and were thrilled. Good food, very friendly service. Everything perfect. I can really only recommend it.

Always delicious and, above all, plentiful

The top address for schnitzel lovers in Erlangen. We had a cordon bleu, black forest schnitzel and the horseradish schnitzel. All 3 were super tasty and XXL. The service was attentive, quick and friendly. Clear recommendation 👍🏻

I've been coming here for years and find the food delicious! Always bring friends and acquaintances who don't yet know the economy with you. Every newbie so far has been amazed by the food and quality! The boss and boss are very nice and always take the time for a small talk, which is not a given. Children also get their money's worth here. The Greek schnitzel is and remains my absolute favorite. Even when business is busier, the food never takes long to be served. The waitresses are friendly and on the ball. The only thing I'm personally missing is the mayo for the fries and fried potatoes ;-) We always enjoy coming back, even if we have to drive more than 25km. The journey is worth it! Greetings from Fürthermare! :-)

Very good home cooking, huge portions and very tasty.
