Forsthaus Kasten in Neuried

Tried it out a few times, but unfortunately the price/performance ratio has never been right! Charred spare ribs, bone-dry chicken, but in beautiful surroundings. Maybe things will get better... Or maybe not. Wait.

Nice atmosphere, good playground for the kids including donkeys and sheep next door. Unfortunately everything is quite expensive, with self-service and the 0.5l drinks cost well over 5 euros, that's clearly too much in my opinion, Munich or not. At Oktoberfest I treated myself to half a chicken, which was well seasoned but totally dry and therefore difficult to eat. Service was rather unmotivated, no greeting and extremely taciturn, even though there was little going on. Paid 32 euros for chicken with fries and 2x 0.5 drinks despite self-service - not exactly family-friendly.

Wir waren heute nach langer Zeit mal wieder im Forsthaus Kasten. Die Sparerips waren gut und viel. Der Preis wohl nur heute mit 10 Euro super günstig. Die Sosse war auch gut, die Breze frisch und knackig. Der Preis fürs Bier/Radler mit 5,40 € auch im Rahmen. Und das Ambiente ist sowieso einzigartig mitten im Wald. Die Band hat den ganzen Nachmittag Oldies gespielt.... Jazz bis Rock, war echt ein toller Besuch im Forsthaus Kasten.

Just like I read today Forsthaus Kasten will close its doors at the end of the beer garden season and will not reopen in 2025. Which I personally think is a shame, since it's the most pleasant beer garden I know. Not overcrowded, very few tourists and more locals in the area.

When the weather is nice, just enjoy the beer garden 😁🍺

We were in the beer garden on September 5th, 2024. The dishes on offer (Kässpatzen or Bratwurscht with fried potatoes) were sublime, because they had definitely been warmed up several times. It was hardly surprising that neither of us could keep these meals with us for long.

We had food with us. The homemade juices are highly recommended

Beautifully located, spacious beer garden with a beautiful playground and animal enclosure. When it comes to food, some dishes are great (Hendl, Auszogne,...), others are unfortunately just mediocre (schnitzel, sausage salad). Unfortunately, beer is from Paulaner, but that's a matter of taste. Service is very good and friendly

Spacious beer garden with music on weekends, large climbing frame for children, food ok, enough parking spaces.

Excellent chicken. Great staff.

This beer garden is simply one of the most beautiful!

Great beer garden, delicious food. There's no need to say more... I always think it's great there.

Hatten einen Obazden geholt, ist geschmacklich eine Katastrophe und schlichtweg eine Beleidigung für Bayern. Mir ist es jetzt eine halbe Stunde immer noch schlecht. Mein hat sich eine Gemüsepfanne geholt und nach zwei Bissen mit dem Kommentar ungenießbar stehengelassen. Nie wieder Biergarten Forstkasten. Wir kommen garantiert nie wieder.

Nice beer garden, good beer, food was great, the chicken wings were pretty well done... But otherwise you can go there. We were there on Saturday lunchtime and there wasn't much going on, despite the great weather.

Essen ist unterirdisch, Obazder ungenießbar. Gemüsepfanne total zerkocht, ohne Geschmack nach zwei Bissen stehengelassen. Getränke Halbe Bier 5,50 haben ausgetrunken und sind sofort gegangen.m

18€ für aufgewärmte Spareribs, die kurz über den Grill gezogen wurden. Total trocken, mit einer säuerlich schmeckenden Soße. Wässriger Krautsalat, ziemlich geschmacklos. War früher oft hier, gerade wegen der guten Spareribs, heute war es leider eine totale Enttäuschung. Nicht zu empfehlen.

18€ for dry, warmed spareribs that were only briefly pulled over the grill. Plus a sour tasting sauce that was somehow artificially pimped. The coleslaw was watery and fairly tasteless. Open potato not “done” and the sour cream was actually just quark with olive oil and dried herbs. The "Auszongne" was not fresh but from the day before. I used to like coming here, especially because of the good spareribs, but today it was a total disappointment. Too bad

Classic, large Bavarian beer garden, located in the forest with many playground options for children and families.

Nice large beer garden in the middle of the forest; You can bring your own food, otherwise self-service with home-style cooking and traditional dishes; good selection of drinks; playground for children; ideal stopover for a break on a bike ride through Forstenrieder Park.

Self-service, beautiful beer garden in the countryside

One of the most beautiful beer gardens. In the middle of the most beautiful nature. Good food.Good atmosphere.

Great beer garden.Good Bavarian food.Great for a trip with a long walk in the forest. Playground for children available. Plenty of parking spaces on site.

A delightful beer garden in an idyllic setting, by the Forstenrieder Park. They gave a big selection of food, the quality is typical of beer gardens, nothing special but okay. There's a big playground for the kids, animals like goats and sheep and sometimes there is live music on the weekends. Service is good and friendly. A nice place to relax and enjoy oneself.

Today I was in the beer garden again after a long time and unfortunately I was quite disappointed crazy expensive ◇ spareribs totally over salted

Unbelievable how bad the food was. We were disappointed before Corona and didn't actually want to come back. Well, 3 years later you can still dare to do it... we shouldn't have done it! The roast pork was very fatty, the dumplings were much too hard and even the white cabbage didn't taste good... and we spent just under €75 with a child. I wonder how a place can manage such bad food when there isn't even a regular restaurant business anymore. After dinner we took a short walk around the house. The herb garden that belongs to the restaurant seemed deserted, overgrown and abandoned. All in all, it's a shame, as the nice service from the employees doesn't help.

Forst Kasten is a beautifully located and large beer garden. You sit very comfortably. Unfortunately, food varies greatly and is not always recommended without reservation.

Great beer garden, good cuisine, nice atmosphere.

Just beautiful. There is no need to say more.

I've been living in Munich for 27 years now... and have rarely experienced a more pleasant beer garden. A little further out, but perfect for excursions or with children

Wasps endlessly, roast pork was burnt, fries bad and cold. No, thank you never again.

Oh weh. Als erfahrene Biergartenbesucher wollten wir das Forsthaus Kasten mal ausprobieren. Tolles Wetter, trotzdem halb leer .. komisch ? Jetzt wissen wir warum : Das schlechteste halbe Hendl, das ich je gegessen habe, noch unter Imbisswagen-Niveau. Taubengröße und zu totaler Trockenheit totgegrillt. Die große Breze : mit irgendwie künstlichem Beigeschmack. Eine Breze mit Konservierungsmittel ? Gibt's wohl nicht, schmeckt aber so. Schade, so eine schöne Lage ...

Nice beer garden. Lots of shaded areas. Children's playground. You can bring food with you.

Ate half a grilled chicken today! Bad as hell! Clearly very old goods! Definitely not fresh!

Nice, but quite big and crowded, I prefer something smaller and cozy. Often with live music on Sundays. Great!

Food with no taste! The service was nice, but that was it.

Very nice beer garden but the prices are beyond good and bad. Simply shamed out

I've known the Forsthaus Kasten beer garden since I was little and I think the atmosphere and the food there are great. But today I encountered something very unpleasant. I spotted a car in the parking lot in the sun with the windows closed and a dog inside. I reported this and after consulting with "the boss", the cashier I spoke to told me that nothing could be done and that I should just call the police.

Be careful everything is full of wasps! Unfortunately no more fun. Food (spare ribs) good but quite expensive.

A great beer garden located in the middle of the forest. There is plenty of space for the children to run around. Live music plays. Unfortunately, the food wasn't really tasty: cheese spaetzle was very dry.

We've been enjoying coming here for years... cycling through the forest from Munich is a nice way to get into nature and then get everything your heart desires in a really beautiful beer garden at fair prices and always friendly people.

Friendly and fast-working employees, the music from the brass group today didn't even want to create a beer garden atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food wasn't tasty. The knuckle only had a crispy rind in parts, the meat only came off the spare rips reluctantly, and the fries were far too dark, almost burnt. Maybe we were just unlucky

Nice beer garden. Unfortunately, like everywhere else, it is now very expensive.

Der Biergarten ist wirklich schön angelegt und sehr gepflegt. Die Essensauswahl hingegen sehr sporadisch. Alles zum selbst abholen und auf so kleine Teller angerichtet, dass sogar von der wenigen Schweinebratensoße die auf dem Teller landet noch die Hälfte runter sabbert. Im Großen und Ganzen ok aber muss ich persönlich nicht nochmal hin.

Great beer garden, large lawn/playground/football area. Great live music, good selection of food and drinks.

Wonderful beer garden in nature

A great beer garden with a nice playground for the kids. Been there a few times after cycling trips. Recently I ordered hot food for the first time and I was very disappointed with the quality. The schnitzel with brezen kruste was so dry, it was probably overcooked and left out too long. The fries were cold, the Bratkartoffeln was a little burnt and cold. I mean how do you get the fries wrong. I hope the owner or the chef sorts this out

Great beer garden for a trip, especially with children. In a calm neighborhood. The food is delicious, but you can also bring your own. I recommend the spritzers, super refreshing with fresh fruits and herbs.

Nice beer garden but food could be a bit better.

Aus Gauting ein Deutscher mit Mexikanerin als Frau Doktor !!!!Rassistische demente Oma am Nachbartisch und Psychokinder im Gästebereich!

Forstkasten was a wonderful place, but it has become extremely poor. The food that once came from the local kitchen is no longer edible. The only nice thing is the musicians who play live. But still great for playing/meeting kids and chatting with parents. Don't recommend the dumplings

Relaxed beer garden with the best spare ribs in Munich (17.90 a hefty price, but justified for the portion and quality) You can always find a place here in the sun or in the shade. There are musical performances on the weekend :) It would be great if you distributed the WiFi password, as you have no reception at all here!

Unfortunately closed today, Wednesday afternoon 😑 no notice, no notice anywhere. The sun was shining and some visitors left disappointed.

Nice secluded beer garden with good food.

Very quiet and nice beer garden with good food at reasonable prices. Since the beer garden is somewhat remote, it is never too crowded. Children feel very comfortable here (in addition to a playground, there are two donkeys, a small flock of sheep and a few horses). The beer garden is also easy to reach by bike. There is also enough parking space. And now you can also pay by card.

Here at the Forsthaus Kasten, you receive a warm welcome, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is divided into decent portions, only the drinks are slightly more expensive, but that sets the good standard that the guests enjoy here.

Very nice beer garden in the middle of the forest. On some Sundays with music entertainment.

Here as a wedding guest and it was lovely! Weather was rainy so they had a huge, heated tent with flowers inside, lovely atmosphere. Food and service were also perfect!

Great beer garden, and the cell phone reception has also gotten much better....and it tastes great.... So keep it up...

Very cozy beer garden, with delicious dishes and also some vegetarian options.

Great beer garden with children's playground. What you expect in Bavaria.

Never been disappointed. It always makes me happy to go there. Always has.

My favorite beer garden near Munich. Great destination for cyclists on the way to Lake Starnberg. Always a great vegetarian selection of food, often live music, lots of seating, and super quick service even when it's full

Nice atmosphere. Despite the holiday, we managed to find a place. Everything fine!

Great food, nice beer garden, lots of space, good atmosphere, great music! I'm a fan 🥰

Very nice beer garden. And very friendly staff. You can also have a half drink here. Top recommendation

1 Halbe 5Euro 40 geht gar nicht. Eine Frechheit. Das ist eine Abzocke. Auch sonst sind die Preise mehr als Saftig. Die Qualität der Speisen läßt auch zu wünschen Übrig.

Great beer garden with a great atmosphere. Delicious spare ribs. One serving is enough for 2 people. Any time.

Simply super, very polite service, great cuisine! It couldn't be better! Thank you very much!

Underground food, unfortunately. The grilled chicken must have been from the day before. It's a shame in such a great atmosphere

Super Biergarten ein Besuch dort großes Erlebnis. Lage inmitten der Natur. Speisen und Getränke Note SEHR GUT. Ein Besuch auch mit Kindern sehr empfehlenswert da schöner Spielplatz dabei.

Nice beer garden. But: At each of the 4 or 5 cash registers there is a large red sign that says: "No card payment!" Although you can easily pay by card if you ask. It was like that last beer garden season too. The signs are irritating (and annoying). When the operators read the reviews: Can't you just remove the signs?

Very nice place, the food has potential for improvement (the roast pork is a mixed bag with two undercooked potato dumplings) and the young woman at the cash register will be able to find all the buttons on the register as the season progresses. I will gladly come again

A great place for the whole family! Good, not too expensive food - I especially recommend the mushrooms in cream sauce and Knödel, and the Radler was nicely cold and sparkling. Massive outdoor seating area, a big playground, a football field and the added attraction of sheep (or fluffy goats, not sure 😅) and donkeys to spy on.

A fun beer garden with live music. And the spare ribs are really good.

The beer garden itself is great, big, live music on the weekend and also very diverse. However, the prices are now completely excessive and not in line with the market. There is no way to justify €10 for a Radlermass in the self-service beer garden.

Beautiful beer garden in the middle of large meadows in the forest.

Chicken lunch is cheap during the week, snacks can also be brought along. At the weekend there is freshly baked bread and fish. Good stop after a walk, the forest is fantastic for a walk.

Beer gardens have been known since my childhood. Great to reach by bike too! Lies beautifully and the chicken and the still warm pretzels with a cool shandy......a dream!! Prices.....well, they could be a little lower, but you rarely treat yourself! Still a really cozy beer garden with plenty of parking! Can happily recommend him.

Wir haben heute die Biergartensaison mit einem Besuch im Forsthaus Kasten eröffnet. Bier und Ambiente okay aber von den Spareribs waren wir total enttäuscht. Total überwürzt und aufgewärmt. Ein dezenter Hinweis wurde nur mit einem Schulterzucken kommentiert. Dad Geld (mit fast 18€ nicht gerade wenig) hatten sie ja schon.

The ambience is of course a dream, but €5.40 for half is really a disgrace.

Beautiful, large, sunny beer garden. Great location.

Why does a shandy cost half 5.50? This is simply usury.

Meanwhile (March 2024) completely crazy prices. We've been there many times in the past, but now it's beyond comparison to other beer gardens in and around Munich. Other innkeepers also have beautiful beer gardens.

We are here regularly in the summer.

Nice beer garden. Unfortunately, food and drinks are a bit expensive

A great beer garden with lots of space, a large playground, good food. Since this year you can finally pay with an EC card

Nice beer garden, great area for cycling and walking

Nice Christmas market from the converted beer garden and unfortunately overpriced like all the others

Magical (!) Christmas market with a very imaginative storyteller for young and old, live nativity scene, fire baskets, live Christmas carols, nice English people - and pretty “craftsman stalls” - plus delicious bratwurst rolls :-)) and mega stone oven bread. Merry Christmas🎄✨🎊💕 everyone🧚🏽‍♀️

The best Christmas market in the area. I also picked up a Christmas tree for an unbeatable 20 EUR. By the way, the nicest one we've had so far.

The Christmas market is nice, but there is nothing for the children. Not enough choice of drinks and expensive

The Barsy family only does event locations - it makes you all the more happy to pick out these individual events as a win for yourself, like the recent Advent market on December 10, 23

Gmütlicher bayerischer Biergarten ohne schnickschnack unter Kastanienbäumen, gut eingeschänkt, preiswertes Mittagessen und wunderschöne Natur an einem letzten Sommertag 😊

2018: Für mich bester Biergarten Münchens 09.2023: war echt mieß, auch der Spielplatz ist nicht gut. Und die Maß über 10€ dafür zieh ich nochmal ein Stern ab.

Leckeres Essen zum fairen Preis. Ich hatte ein halbes Brathändel, war nicht zu trocken aber trotzdem durch. Dazu sehr leckeren Kartoffelsalat. Meine Begleitung Käsespätzle, bei denen Fand ich die Portion für den Preis ein bisschen zu klein. Das 0,5er Bier für 4,50 mittlerweile Standard. Geschmacklich alles gut. Sehr zu empfehlen die Ausgezogenen, die den ganzen Tag ganz frisch zubereitet werden, ein Traum. Besonderes Highlight für Familien natürlich auch der große Spielplatz und ein Tiergehege mit Schafen. Sowohl mit dem Fahrrad als auch mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Parkplätze reichlich vorhanden. Sehr großer Biergarten, entsprechend auch relativ gut freie Bänke zu finden. Selbst mitgebrachte Speisen dürfen wie nach Tradition verzehrt werden, Getränke müssen gekauft werden.

Wie immer alles super, diesmal nicht reserviert, aber einen Platz bekommen. Personal super, essen super, Getränke natürlich auch . Immer wieder gerne.

Wunderschöner Biergarten, große Auswahl an Speisen, freundliche Bedienung

Wunderschöner Biergarten mit Self Service. Ein großer Spielplatz gleich dabei auch für Kinder die älter sind spassig. Und im Sommer Hüpfburg Angebot.

Essen und Getränke sind wirklich gut gewesen, obwohl recht wenig los war. Die Natur drum herum lässt einen gut runter kommen vom stressigen Alltag.

Schöner Biergarten vor den Toren Münchens mit tollem Spielplatz für Kinder und vielen Wegen zum Spazieren gehen. Leider nur Barzahlung möglich, was es schwer macht, wenn kein Bankautomat in der Nähe ist
