Fleischmann - Steakhouse & Weinbar in Esslingen am Neckar

We once received a very unfriendly welcome despite having a reservation. No hello, no good evening, just a dry "A colleague is coming, please wait," even though we were standing at the entrance. So far so good, we can swallow it. But when the colleague (actually the bartender that evening) showed up, things got much better. No greeting, no nothing, which is fine, maybe that's the motto in this place today... But THEN he stupidly accused us of looking at the iPad, which has some random table numbers on it, without permission. We didn't really think anything of it; it was more like a lowering of the gaze until he looked at our reservation. He shook his head several times and mumbled something under his breath. We ignored that, too, since we're celebrating a birthday today, are in a good mood, and didn't want to be irritated by a 50kg teenage male (who appears in several Instagram posts on the site). He then suddenly starts walking and simply says "follow." We told him we had to wait for one more person, then he cheekily says "Fine" and keeps walking. We can't understand such unprofessional, rude behavior, especially in a restaurant like this where you're leaving at least €50 per person. If you don't like your job, you can just change jobs instead of being such a nuisance to the guests! On the other side of the table, when we were sitting, we had a very nice, pleasant, and courteous waiter. We guess he's of North African descent. He was helpful, professionally talented, and gave us good advice. To be fair, we give the waiter a 10 out of 10! The food itself was good, but by no means Gordon Ramsey-level. We often go out to eat and enjoy it, but we would NEVER go back just because of the rude waiter. Fortunately, for €60 per person, there are several alternatives.

Great steak, great atmosphere, awesome surprise

Best restaurant experience with top delicious food, friendly and warmth customer service, excellent music that allows us to talk and hear each other without issues.

An all-round successful evening. Thank you for the fantastic food and excellent service, we'll be happy to come back.

Very good restaurant! The food really tasted fantastic. Since I have gluten intolerance, the waiter gave me very good advice. All around good service. We'll definitely be back.

Hello, last Thursday I went there with my boyfriend. He had steak ( zero issue with this) and I had Peruvian chicken ( don’t remeber how restaurant called this in menu. Unfortunately my chicken had to be old or not cooked properly… I got very bad food poisoning and till now I suffer from pain in my stomach. I wrote to restaurant as I never received any answer. I have been there before and in my opinion that was a good restaurant but I won’t go there anymore for sure.

The Fleischmann is definitely recommended. The service is very friendly and attentive but not intrusive. We were served by a young lady who was extremely friendly and accompanied us through the evening in a charming way. The location is very tastefully decorated and you immediately feel very comfortable. The wines are still highly recommended. To eat: The starters were perfect across the board. From Caesar salad to buffalo mozzarella to beef tartare!! For the main course there were various meat dishes, whether fillet or roast beef, among others. Everything was cooked to perfection. The side dishes were also completely sufficient and were very tasty. I had the NY Cheesecake… alone This one is worth a 10/10!! A little something was missing. In the past there was a greeting from the kitchen, fresh bread with different types of butter or something similar and at this level a little decoration on the plate would be a nice addition. Because the eye is also there. Otherwise, we are already looking forward to our next visit. Continued success! VG T27

The restaurant is highly recommended. Super nice ambience, great courteous service, delicious food and great value for money.

Service was nice and ambience was good. The steak was solid to good, but it was never 200g, that shouldn't be the case at such a price. Fries for 5 euros very small portion. Waiting time very long. You don't really have to do it again. Too bad!

Very good steakhouse, had dinner with my wife for Valentine's Day, the staff is very courteous and helpful. Tomahawk, the two types of tartare and beef tartare are recommended.

We were there for the first time and are very satisfied. The wine list is delicious and the food is delicious

A great restaurant, with high quality food. Very tasteful and an intense experience. Thank you.

Super tasty food, both dishes were absolutely top, nice courteous service, not cheap but good has its price

Steak was very tasty, and the side dishes (potato gratin, salad, fries) were also great. It's just a shame that you have to pay extra for every side dish and sauce.

Great steakhouse, great quality meat, very interesting location. Our service was super friendly and very smart. Always my pleasure!

A very nice atmosphere and delicious food. The fact that I chose a cold dish was a negative surprise for me. I would welcome a tip, I'm no expert when it comes to food. However, it was the only point. Otherwise completely satisfied.

We had a great evening with very good food. Absolutely recommended.

Super dedicated staff Amazingly varied menu.

It was a very nice evening. Great service, great food, nice atmosphere 😉can only be recommended.

Thank you for the successful evening 🙋🏻‍♂️

Price performance is not right Lots of room for improvement Vegetables overcooked, meat okay

A really nice restaurant, the service is quick and courteous. A variety of dishes are available and are of very high quality. The prices correspond to the quality and, in my opinion, are still reasonable. The ambience is simple, yet elegant. The animal paintings in particular stand out. I was only dissatisfied with some of the chairs because, as a taller person (1.80 m or more), I couldn't lean on them comfortably. Otherwise we can only recommend a visit :)

Four of us ate at Fleischmann on December 20, 2024. The ambience is absolutely appealing. Really nice. The service is friendly. The food was very tasty. A real pleasure. We ordered the Manzo tagliata three times and the Arentina Black Angus rib eye once, with sweet potatoes, grilled vegetables and potato gratin as a side dish. Conclusion: Great restaurant, delicious upscale food, great service, we'll be back!

Very nice service, top quality meat, overall a great evening, we'll be back

We were guests with friends last night and everyone was absolutely thrilled. We had fillet and roast beef from Argentina and roast beef from Australia. Everything was just right, we would love to come back.

Foti and his team do a great job! Great food and very good wine accompaniment!

Called at short notice and requested a table immediately. Unfortunately it was not possible to receive any information during the phone call and I was put off waiting for a call back. That callback never came. When I called again it was always busy. It's a shame the staff is so incompetent.

Nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Something different and the card is also special. The price is relatively high. However, you can treat yourself to it every now and then. The meat was good and the poke bowl was also delicious.

The ambience is absolutely appealing. Really nice. The service is friendly, but for me personally there was a bit too much at the table. The food was absolutely delicious. A real pleasure. Ordered the Simmental from the chalkboard. 100g for 22 euros. Plus mashed potatoes and bourbon sauce. Extremely delicious. However, when I paid I was surprised with double the price as there is only 200g of Simmental, which I wasn't told in advance. Conclusion: great restaurant, delicious upscale food; the service could be a little more casual.

Nice atmosphere in an old factory building. Very courteous reception that accompanies you to your seat. Service is friendly. The steaks are great. Great fries and tasty sauces. The only disadvantage: not at all handicapped accessible, as there are steep stairs (also to the toilet in the basement).

Basically the food is good, but if you take the prices into account, you can get just as good quality for less money elsewhere, it's simply far too expensive. The service was too intrusive for us (I don't expect to be touched multiple times by the service in a restaurant like this). Our spot on the upper floor by the window was slightly drafty. In fact, we won't be going there anymore.

We have been to the Fleischmann Steakhouse several times and each time it was a thoroughly successful visit. The food is excellent every time - the steaks are perfectly prepared, of the best quality and cooked to perfection. The side dishes and starters also impress with their taste. The drinks are also particularly worth mentioning: the wine selection is great, and the cocktails are also very good! The service is always friendly, attentive and professional, so that you feel completely comfortable. The Fleischmann Steakhouse is an absolute highlight for us and definitely a recommendation for everyone. We'll definitely be back!

We tried a lot of places over the last weeks - this Restaurant is one of few that combine great food with good service

Ate super tasty, meat was on point, delicious (quite small) starters, nice restaurant, first-class service. Priced at the upper end of my personal tolerance range…

Breathtaking ambience, mega delicious steaks. I'd love to come back

Very good food. Great appetizers and steaks.

Wow. What great service. Food also very good. Only the statement at the reception that we have to give up our place in a good hour because of a reservation and then afterwards it won't be needed at all and the restaurant is half empty. Artificial scarcity

We had a very pleasant evening in the Fleischmann restaurant. A very friendly service, from the reservation to the bill. Very good steaks and delicious NY cheesecake in a glass.

We had a wonderful evening. The food was perfect, the staff very friendly and attentive. The only criticism that could be said is that the light at our place was too weak. There were 6 of us at a long table.

In short: the food was amazing (USA ribeye, cheesecake) and the service was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was quiet and appropriate for the occasion (we were on the 2nd floor). Tip: Even if you're a non-smoker, just go out on the terrace with a glass of wine - great atmosphere to chat! Come again...

It tasted very good. There were two of us on a day when it wasn't crowded. The waitress sat at a table and wrote WhatsApps, which I found a bit inappropriate. After we had our food, no one came to the table to ask us if we would like to order anything else. Even when we wanted to pay, no one came to the table, despite searching looks, waving and wallets in hand. After an hour I finally got up myself and paid at the counter. Given the prices, I expected a different service…

It was a pleasure for us and a completely harmonious evening, completely looked after with dedication to the service and our well-being. Attentive through the evening with our table service and the excellent food, we came home happy and very satisfied. We would love to come back. Thank you very much for the great evening.

Many thanks to Ronny for the wonderful, authentic evening, the exquisite entertainment and the good wine. As always, the food was a delight. Grazie mille. Micha & Jasmin

The food is delicious but the prices are expensive

Very nice service, you are regularly asked if everything is OK. We felt very comfortable. The food (meat) is a little more expensive, but the quality is really very good! We will certainly come to you again.

Exceptional service, absolutely delicious gourmet food with great ambiance. 10/10.

It's rare to find a restaurant where service, ambience, value for money and quality are right. That is the case here. Great ambience, charming and courteous waiters and then very fine food. I can recommend it to everyone when they are in Stuttgart.

The Fleischmann is embedded in the Dick area in the middle of Esslingen, an old industrial plant with a beautiful clinker brick facade. Disadvantage: Only paid parking is possible in the parking garage. Our waiters looked after us well, were friendly and helpful. Good advice on wine. We were very satisfied with the delicious starter. My main course was a tuna fillet with glass noodles, especially the fillet could have been a little warmer. The taste and quantity were great. The espresso came quickly and hot, as it should. Overall, a successful evening for me at Fleischmann’s

A warm summer night on the Fleischmanns patio, delicious drinks and a culinary journey around the world (we were in Hawaii 🌺 (starter and the best poke far from home ;-)), Thailand and Japan (a bit much sauce for me personally, but the meat great grilled) and chilling music...what more could you want. Very nice, attentive service and our puppy (who doesn't always know how to behave 100% yet) was warmly welcomed. Thank you for the lovely evening! We'd love to come back, even if Reutlingen isn't right around the corner...

A very nice restaurant with excellent service. The staff were very attentive and professional. What I find very unfortunate, however, is the price of my dish. I had a bowl that cost €29 but barely contained any tuna. I think that the price-performance ratio is not right. The wine was very good and the crew was very nice, so I might give the restaurant another chance.

The Fleischmann is a nice restaurant. We sat outside and felt very comfortable. Were here for the third time now and it was always a pleasure. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and attentive.

Great steak restaurant with very good service. The quality of food and drinks is very, very good. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food of good quality, unfortunately a bit expensive

The Fleischmann was recommended to me, maybe we had a bad day... but the visit was very disappointing. We had feta for starters, tacos and steak. The steak was tough and stringy, the salad dressing thin. The employee was very unfriendly… before I could even ask anything I was rejected with his hand, he didn't even say goodbye to us.

With a larger group we decided to have a meal at Fleischmann. Due to an error on both sides (I wrote the reservation by email a month ago, but it was not processed and I thought that this reservation had been confirmed to me through another reservation confirmation) we had to wait a moment for the table for the 10 people was directed. We were then told that since they were not expecting such a large group that evening, there might be longer waiting times. To be clear, we didn't have to wait longer at any point except perhaps for the first drink. Everything was absolutely within reason and not noticeably long. The service was also consistent, from the beginning with the reservation chaos to the end, always friendly and in a good mood. Now let's come to the food: What I would like in a somewhat more upscale restaurant like this would be a bread basket/greetings from the kitchen. For starters, my partner and I chose the duet tartare. The salmon and tuna tartare was okay. I found it a little too dry or not worth highlighting in terms of taste. For the main course I had the short ribs, which were really tender and tasted good. I personally found the sweet potato fries a little too salty, but I also have to highlight the mustard sauce, which I liked. My partner had the tuna steak (briefly fried) which I have to say was okay, but I didn't like the taste of the glass noodles 100%. I was allowed to try the NY steak sandwich with another person, but in our opinion the bread was clearly too dry. All in all it was a successful evening and the complaints were at a high level.

Still highly recommended in 2024! The steaks are a poem, tender and cooked to perfection. Very attentive and friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. The wine selection is great and gin lovers will get their money's worth here. A clear enrichment for Esslingen.

Food was excellent. Service was friendly, but turnaround was a bit slow, food items of one course were served at different times to the guests, some were wrong or forgotten. Some guests smoked, despite being outdoors, smoke unpleasantly came to our table.

Overall a great evening. Four of us had dinner here with friends. We received a very friendly welcome and were served very nicely, friendly and humorously throughout the evening in a very pleasant atmosphere. The starters of carpaccio, burratta, prawns, spicy tuna and piementos de padron were in the middle for everyone. Everything was really good, I was a bit disappointed with the spicy tuna, too much macadamia for me personally and nothing special with a bit of chili threads, tuna and the teriyaki sauce were good. The main courses 2x surf & turf, Australian roast beef, Argentinian fillet, pulpo and tuna. The tuna fillet was simply brilliant, the glass noodles were extremely seasoned and tasted great. Unfortunately, my Argentinian fillet was the toughest piece of meat at the table, the roast beef was actually much more tender and also really top! The mashed potatoes were completely fine, not enough nutmeg for my taste, but it's purely a matter of taste. The pulp was buttery and excellent. In my opinion, all dishes, whether meat, pulp, shrimp, lack roasted aromas. Maybe they were put on the grill for a short time, everything seemed to me to be so well cooked and therefore the pulp and shrimp had a slightly soapy consistency. The desserts rounded off the evening successfully. The ingredients are all top quality and this review is purely based on my personal taste. Thanks also to the great and attentive service staff!

TipTop, everything worked perfectly, reservation, seat allocation, and finally calling a taxi. Very imaginative menu, extremely attentive and friendly service, great cuisine, so it was great for us, thank you very much!

My absolute favorite restaurant! Great ambience, fantastic food, excellent cocktails and great service! I can absolutely recommend it!

T-Bone 🥩 Steak…Simply delicious 😋.

I ate very well, both the Kaiolohia starter and the Argentinian ribeye as well as the dessert were excellent. Service very nice and attentive

The first and last time as a guest. Reserved for 3 people on Friday evening, 7 p.m. A maximum of three quarters of the tables outside and inside were occupied. After waiting for over 35 minutes, no drinks order had been taken. A waitress brought us the drinks from the neighboring table. Despite telling the waitress that we wanted to take our order, no service came. During our presence of almost 40 minutes, we only saw service outside twice. It's a shame for the time.

Location: The decor is very stylish. Lots of wood and yet very modern. That's how you want it. After eating, you can also go to the second level and watch everyone eating from above and enjoy a delicious cocktail as a nightcap. Regarding the service: it is excellent! not intrusive but very attentive and courteous. Drinks: If you want an aperitif, a good wine or a cocktail (even with an extra gin menu) in advance, I would like to be in good hands here. Of course it also has the standard (beer & non-alcoholic) About the food: our favorite starter here is the two types of tartare, the Pokebowls (can be chosen as a starter portion) were also very good as a starter (perhaps a bit too much for those who eat less) Steaks & side dishes: the selection of different meat options speaks for itself. If you don't find anything there, you should eat fermented meat. We have already treated ourselves to a few variations and have never had anything to complain about. The daily menu shows other “gram options” that are available in the restaurant. Even vegetarians certainly won't go home hungry ;-) The side dishes can be chosen and enjoyed, from typical fries (crunchy and delicious) and other potato preparations to vegetables in various preparation methods. Our tip for the sauces: the in-house chimichuri. Perfect with a good piece of meat. We always like to come back to enjoy a nice evening. See you soon dear ones

As a steakhouse... most of the steaks we ordered as a group were NOT on point. Bad for the expectations that the service conveys. Price/performance not good.

Unfortunately, that was a very bad experience. Although the restaurant has a great atmosphere, the food and service left a lot to be desired. We had dinner there yesterday with a larger group. None of the steaks came as ordered. We had one go back (ordered medium-rare, delivered well done) and when the replacement steak arrived it still wasn't right. The service seemed annoyed and overwhelmed and the colleague's side salad came after her meal. All in all, not a good experience, unfortunately.

The young service employee was rude at the reception. During dinner we were looked after by two excellent waiters. 5+ stars for that. When I wanted the dessert menu I had to ask the other person again, after the second request he hissed at me from a distance “I told the other person” and I clapped my hands angrily. impossible. it doesn't do the restaurant justice. Food was super tasty by the way…price/performance was great.

The meat is excellent but the quantities are too small for this price.

Very friendly staff (my son has already made friends) And very tasty food

The food, ambience and service are good to very good. Unfortunately, you now have to expect €50 per person for food and drinks. I can recommend a visit for special occasions.

Everything fine. Ambiance is made the best of the circumstances. You can see that the masonry is older and spruced up. But everything is fine.

We got a table without any problems and ate a very tasty steak with a great baked potato and vegetable side dish 😋 I will definitely come back the next time I visit Stuttgart

Fleischmanns has been one of our favorite restaurants in Esslingen for several months. The ambience with the location in an old industrial building as well as the slightly insulated interior of the restaurant and the beautiful terrace are very inviting. The food itself is highly recommended! Yes, the prices are a bit high, but you should pay well for something good. It is recommended, for example: B. the pork belly, the pokebowls or the steak sandwich. The extremely attentive employees are also very noteworthy. We will continue to be happy to welcome you again and again :-)

We came all the way from Munich because our friends were raving about Fleischmann's! Excellent meat, great preparation, very tasty side dishes (favorite: potato gratin). The salmon & tuna tartare was also heavenly! Super nice terrace (with chic heating lamps) and very cozy interior. Great wine list and great drinks! We will be back! :-)

Very good food from the prawns to the steak with more than enough side dishes. You should bring a little time, it is very well attended. Ambiance is spacious, high ceilings, lots of wood, western style. Thank you 😙

A really nice restaurant. The "Fleischmann" is somewhat hidden and cannot be seen directly from the street. The ambience is really nice and appealing. The food is top. Cooking point exactly hit. In terms of price it is on the higher side. The quality is correspondingly high. However, I think the starters in particular are a bit too expensive given their size. I agree with the main course and dessert. The selection of open wines should be reconsidered. We had 3 of the 4 white wines offered and none of them were really convincing. This should be improved again. I am convinced by the concept and felt very comfortable and will definitely come back in a few months.

Everything was great, great meat.

Went there last night and we haven't eaten so well in a long time. Everything was just perfect in a great atmosphere and very friendly staff 👍

Thank you very much for the very kind service, the food was super tasty, the meat was super tender and of high quality, the best thing I have ever eaten..Keep it up..LG

Definitely in my top 5 restaurants. An imaginative menu, very good dishes that are really masterfully prepared, a great ambience in the old factory, nice waiters, tasty wines... what more could you want? An all around successful evening. Thank you

The food was very tasty, great location, we'll be back :)

Except for a little longer waiting time, it was really great

Very tasty food (we had the tartare of salmon and tuna as a starter and for the main course we chose Peru, Thailand and Spain from the “world trip” as well as grilled vegetables), very good drinks (great Aperol spritz, very good Sauvignon Blanc from the Weingut Baier) and excellent and very attentive service! You can definitely bring it! The prices are okay considering the quality, but you should easily expect to pay between 80 and 90 euros per person if you want to have a good time. But it's worth it 😎.

Very nice decor paired with delicious food. A wine list that includes almost everything and very humorous service. Insider tip: Herbal Smash

A special experience - very high quality with very friendly and empathetic service that leaves nothing to be desired. It was a successful evening that I will remember for a long time.

We felt very comfortable. Food was great too.

Very tasty, great staff! Really incredibly friendly and, above all, very, very good food. The steak was perfect and tasted excellent 😁 my friend also really liked it 👌🏻 her chicken teriyaki was excellent and very high quality. Feel free to come back anytime😊

Great restaurant, very nicely decorated, great food, service and staff very friendly and helpful

Once again everything was great...the food and meat was a dream and the ambience was very appealing. 2 small drawbacks: I found a selection of cheese to be very suitable for dessert and the waitress rattled the cutlery next to us very loudly. But these are not real problems, just suggestions.

The food was simply superlative. Both me and my partner were simply amazed by the quality of our steaks. The staff was courteous, especially with our child. Absolutely recommended 👍

Beautiful location, friendly staff, absolutely delicious dishes and very good quality meat. The price is a bit high but it's really worth every cent. We will be back. We are also happy to accept the slightly longer journey.

Really very nice restaurant with waiters who understand what they are doing. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the prices because I was here at a company party. But otherwise a clear recommendation for anyone who wants to have a special evening!

It was completely delicious. The wine selection was very good. It's just a shame that some of the wines were unfortunately already drunk. The meat was cooked to perfection. It was a perfect evening. We will be back!

Great atmosphere, very good advice and service! Delicious G&Ts and beautifully presented plates. Everything tasted very, very good! Come again …

Very nice and cozy atmosphere, the food tasted very good

Always a pleasure 🥰 paired with friendliness and a beautiful ambience 👍 Always nice here 🤩 THANKS

Sadly, do not come here for a proper steak - all other food is fantastic. This is my 3rd time coming and the steaks consistently come out with very little seasoning and with minimal sear - you should be able to run your knife over the sear and hear it. It was cooked perfectly medium-rare as ordered. Has highchairs for babies; however no changing table (at least in the men's bathroom) and no good spot to change a baby - you will have to resort to laying out a mat on the floor in front of the bathrooms.

Mega meat, perfect service and cool location 😄 The first time... But definitely not the last time👍 thank you for the perfect evening.

Very tasty - taste is A1! Great service, great ambience. The selection of gins is also outstanding. We will be back definitely.

Excellent cuisine, 5* stars! Service exceptionally attentive and the meat cooked perfectly. An absolute recommendation without any ifs and buts! Always worth a visit.
