Forsthausbrauerei Trotzenburg Ostsee-Brauhaus AG-Hotel in Rostock

We ate at the Forsthaus Brewery today and were very satisfied. The veal liver and the large salad are highly recommended. The liver was cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were delicious. The service was very fast, friendly, and helpful. We also bought three 1L bottles of their own brewed beer, which were delicious. All in all, a successful day and a definite recommendation for visitors who didn't find anything at the zoo; the food here is truly delicious.

The food isn't exceptional. The iced coffee is definitely not recommended. The service, however, is friendly and helpful. The ambiance is pleasant.

Excellent forester's lodge. The ambiance is truly impressive and very stylish. Super friendly, attentive staff. The food is delicious and highly recommended. We'd go back anytime. Huge praise goes to the brewmaster and owner. The unique beers are also highly recommended and pure enjoyment. My favorite is the wildsau...

The buffet is not recommended. If you're ordering for 50 people, you shouldn't be dismissed after 40 empty trays...and the reminder of them...Not again.

Our schnitzel was very thin, not enough. The fries were delicious.

Absolutely not recommended! The food was not seasoned and tasted of nothing! We were there with a tour group that had ordered a buffet. Since I was almost not hungry, I wanted to order à la carte, as the price of over €30 for the buffet wouldn't have been worth it. I specifically checked whether I could order that way and not eat anything from the buffet, thus not having to pay for it. The waiter said it was fine, but then when I paid, they told us we still had to pay for the buffet because it had been ordered for a specific number of people. In my opinion, that's an absolute disgrace, and we definitely won't be coming back. Would we have had to pay even if we hadn't eaten anything? Thankfully, we'll never have to ask ourselves that question again.

The food is delicious and the prices are fair. However, for larger groups, the menu is limited. The concept behind it is difficult to grasp. However, it's absolutely recommended for small to medium-sized groups.

While I was visiting Rostock Germany from my hometown of San Francisco California I had the opportunity to eat dinner at Trotzenburg. The restaurant was lively, welcoming, and the food very hearty.

If you want to drink a very good beer, you're in good hands here. You can also take the beer home with you. Unfortunately it's always too fast ;-).

Yes, I can recommend it. We just had a stupid spot.

The food is excellent and the service is prompt. There's a wide selection of beers, and the beer garden has a small playground for children.

Delicious beer, good food, and friendly staff. All in all, a definite recommendation.

The food here is super delicious.

The food took a very long time to arrive; it seemed like the place wasn't very busy today. The knuckle of pork was recommendable, though. The turkey steak was poorly prepared and didn't live up to its promise on the menu. The price/performance ratio wasn't good. Unfortunately, the service didn't make up for the kitchen's delay.

A great brewery – highly recommended! After a long visit to the zoo, we were beyond hungry. But there was still room in the already packed place. We received very quick and, above all, friendly service. Even though they were out of fries that day, not only our child found a tasty alternative with a spicy meatball. The house-brewed beer tastes even better with schnitzel and Leberkäse. We took the 1-liter brewery bottles home to taste – even those who stayed at home enjoyed it! Keep up the good work!

Tasty beer from our own production, the home-baked bread is a delicacy

Despite the restaurant being full and without a reservation, the friendly employee recommended a table in the entrance area. We were super happy 😊. Great location with a great ambience and attentive staff.

Delicious food and the Platzhirsch beer tastes great. The beer garden is unique in Rostock (if you can get a seat).

I was here today with my children. IT'S HORRIBLE!!! I had to wait 20-30 minutes for my wife, her friends, and their children because they were taking the tram to the zoo. And then I had to attend to my own business. I politely asked if I could park my car for a while and explained the situation, to which the answer was NO. AND THIS WAS IN AN ALMOST EMPTY PARKING LOT. OK. I placed an order. We ate in a hurry because my wife was already there. As I walked away from the car to cross the street with the children, the employee started yelling at me because he thought I was leaving the car. WHY? VERY RUDE STAFF!!! I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!

We had a brewery tour with J. and then had dinner in the restaurant. We were absolutely thrilled! J. was super friendly and knowledgeable, the rooms were spacious and well-maintained, and the food was top-notch. J. even came back to our table, asked if everything was okay, and said goodbye again. The brewery, restaurant, and staff are simply fantastic, and we highly recommend a visit! Thank you so much for the wonderful afternoon!

It was great! I got a table right away and didn't have to wait long for the food. The food was delicious, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The prices are definitely reasonable, so I definitely recommend it.

No more kitchen at 9:43 PM on August 18th, what a shame! Update: It's a shame that the staff is lying to management here. I can confirm and swear to 9:43 PM, as we ordered food online shortly after leaving the restaurant, and this is documented in the order summary. Even though I can fully understand and think it's right to stand behind your team, it's still annoying when the customer ends up being the bad guy. Enclosed is our order confirmation from my friend for our hotel. I'd be happy to send you further receipts. I'd be happy to contact you by email.

Nice, friendly service and delicious food. Great beer.

We ate at the Forsthaus Brewery today and were very satisfied. Both the knuckle of pork and the ribs are highly recommended. The meat in both dishes was cooked to perfection. Only the fried potatoes were too heavily oiled. The service was very fast, friendly, and helpful. A relaxed atmosphere is evident here, and that's a positive (at least for us). The ambiance is, I'd almost say, typical for restaurants of this type. Lots of wood, partially gutted timber framing in the middle of the building. Comfortable chairs/benches, and the table height is very comfortable even for tall people. The only downside here is the toilets, with a noticeable odor of urine in the air. All in all, a successful afternoon and a clear recommendation for all lovers of German cuisine.

The food was delicious. It was relatively unseasoned, but that's up to each individual. Otherwise, the food was excellent. The service could have been a bit more friendly here and there, but otherwise, the service was solid. All in all, it was delicious.

Super fast service, food arrived quickly. Everything was great.

A long-planned visit following a visit to the zoo. I was thrilled. German food - "Dead Grandma," great beer

After a visit to the zoo or a bike ride, we regularly end up here – and there's a reason for that. You're always greeted warmly, the atmosphere is relaxed, and you simply feel welcome. The food is good and hearty. The knuckle of pork is tasty, but could have been a bit more seasoned or crispier. Still: absolutely top-notch for the price! Overall, a really nice place where you know what you're getting – honest food, fair prices, and friendly people.

Very, very good. The food is top-notch.

Delicious 😋😋 thank you so much again

A very good, busy restaurant. We received a very warm welcome, and even though the place was very busy, they still found a seat for us. The service was very professional, with a smile and friendly remarks. The food was beautifully presented and tasted fantastic and very fresh. The staff is always present and friendly.

It was a lovely visit to the Trotzenburg. Great service and, as always, the food was excellent!

Bahnhofsfielink - way too loud... Waited an hour for the food... 2 Solianka potatoes - one with and one without garnish and bread, and both watery..... My potatoes are going bad..... The waiter stands there scratching his leg, then touches the plates and brings them to the customer without washing his hands. In the kitchen, clearly visible from the side, people are messing around. Salads are being placed on plates with their fingers without gloves, and something else is being touched before and after..... Wouldn't recommend it, we were very disappointed 😞 Margitta

I have been here almost too many times and the food never disappoints. Service is pretty fast and the waiters have a taste of humour.

Very good food, nice seating, and fast, very friendly service! The only thing they need to work on is the weather 🌧😅

I remember the "Trotzenburg" quite differently (before the fall of the Wall), and despite its flaws back then, I liked it better than I do now. It might be due to my age.

I'm actually really annoyed that I invited my family there! Almost two years ago, we were just as disappointed! We thought we could try again – wrong thought... After a several-hour visit to the zoo, we didn't want to drive into town, so we stopped by here instead! All the tables outside were taken, except for the ones in the sun (it was suddenly really warm). Several families tried to ask for service – but they just ignored us! Well, I went in and politely asked if it would be possible to open the umbrella – my mistake! The unfriendly, eye-rolling staff had no desire for that! The fact that I didn't want to sit in the blazing sun with my autistic son was laughed at several times! That alone was a disgrace! We then waited a long time for drinks and food, payment, etc. No napkins, refills didn't arrive! The waiter at the end was nice! So Rostock, take your time and go somewhere else!! Apart from the beer, it's absolutely not worth eating here...

Thank you for a wonderful Father's Day! From the service to the delicious food, everything was excellent. 10 out of 10.

We enjoyed a very good dinner and received very friendly service. The "homemade" beer tastes very good. A definite recommendation!

Today we enjoyed a delicious knuckle of pork with sauerkraut and dumplings, along with a delicious homemade brew from a wide selection! Highly recommended!😋

Wir haben unsere Silberhochzeit am 25.05.25 in der Forsthausbrauerei gefeiert und wurden hervorragend bewirtet und bedient.Vielen Dank für alles Familie Franke

We were there for dinner this evening. As always, the food was quick and very good. Service was extremely friendly and fast. The food was delicious and the beer was simply excellent.

A quaint brewery with delicious food, great service, and excellent value. Highly recommended!

We were at the brewery yesterday, and we can only say the best about the staff, food, and service. Thank you very much.

Good for a beer, but not so much food. Service could be friendlier and more attentive after several visits. Seat cushions would improve the ambiance. Chairs are uncomfortable over time. The beer garden is not wheelchair accessible; there are small stones everywhere and no level access. There's a playground for children. The afternoon cake isn't homemade, which might be good to know for some. The house beer is tasty. The ice cream sundae served in a beer mug is rather unattractive and not all that appetizing. The food was okay, but could have been more homemade; I missed a tasty sauce. The liver was a bit dry, perhaps overcooked.

Solid brewery. Food is okay, nothing special, beer tastes good (I like Wildsau and Maibock), service is usually good. Maybe a bit more snappy here and there with the guest and a bit more motivated would be great. It's great to sit outside in the summer.

Great excursion restaurant with a beer garden, its own private brewery, delicious beer and hearty food. Always worth a visit.

If you like breweries, this is the place for you! Everyone will find the right beer and food for themselves The service - never a problem, although not every day is the same and the ambience is right. Pleasant from a quick beer to a family celebration; etc. everything fits all around and has been for years - you have to get it right first. Thank you very much and keep it up.

I had dinner at the brewery with my family today. The food was really great and very tasty. The waiter was really nice and in a really good mood. It was really pleasant. Our little granddaughter was able to play near us and move freely between the play area and our table. Everyone was relaxed in a good atmosphere. Conclusion: we will always come back P.S. Price performance ratio is really great. Thank you very much.

We've actually really enjoyed coming to the Despite for years, it always tastes good and sitting outside in the summer is just wonderful. Only yesterday we were actually very disappointed with our chocolate souffle. It tasted burnt, like it came from an aluminum shell, didn't smell delicious and didn't have a liquid chocolate center. We had 3 of them and they were all extremely disappointing. Too bad. This has always been our main dessert, actually the thing we look forward to most all day, but that wasn't what we were familiar with. I don't understand and unfortunately the waiter wasn't interested at all when I gave it back. I don't know that either. I hope the souffle was a slip-up, because unfortunately it was just bad and not recommended at all.

Was very nice. Really excellent service and great food. Beer is very drinkable.

After being there again with the family for over 15 years...I was very shocked by what happened to the food. Dry-grilled, juiceless mini turkey without a beer-mustard marinade, overcooked potatoes without salt, carelessly served with a salad mix and all for over €20. Plus white wine at room temperature for which there is no glass of tap water. A beer schnapps that you can also simply call Obstler and a cake that I can also buy wholesale. Not only does it not make you feel good at the table, it's simply rude. You don't have to go out to eat for this. We won't be coming back. There is much better brewery cellar cuisine in Rostock where the food is actually freshly cooked. The ambience is very nice but delicious beer and a few brewery kettles do not disguise the ambivalent impression.

Large portions. Pleasant prices. The fish is tasty, the asparagus is well prepared.

Great service, great food and the beer is awesome

We went to the Trotsenburg with the family at Easter to have a good meal, as usual. But unfortunately we were very disappointed with the buffet on offer. At the price of over €30 per person it was very poor. There was rabbit, meatloaf and fish, the taste was good, but the vegetables were missing... There was no dessert to be found other than fruit. There was also no support at the buffet. We looked in vain for an Easter decoration. In short, it didn't meet our expectations. It's a shame because we're used to a different service from there, Because we are frequent guests and have always been very satisfied!

Yes, I can recommend this place, the food came quickly, large portions but very small glasses.

Very tasty food and home-brewed beer from the second largest brewery in Rostock 😄 Very good value for money, if empty glasses are refilled more quickly you could earn even more 😉😋

During our short vacation in Rostock we met up with relatives here. The ambience is rustic, modern and conveys a feeling of well-being. As is typical of a tourist, I promptly made a mistake with my beer order by asking for a specific type of beer. The very friendly service immediately made me understand that their own beer was brewed here. So I followed the waiter's advice and was not disappointed. The beer tasted super delicious. The selected dishes were served quite quickly and hot. The generous portions were very tasty. The price/performance ratio is absolutely fine. We felt very comfortable here.

When you enter, the restaurant impresses with its elegant, sophisticated ambience. The interior appears warm and inviting and creates a feeling of well-being. The food is beautifully prepared and very tasty. Had a brewery schnitzel (with mushrooms), a Black Forest mug and a coffee. The mushrooms were not canned and were fresh. The cream sauce is a real culinary delight. All in all, the cuisine was upscale and far beyond what was expected. The price/performance ratio is also very reasonable. The staff was very friendly and, above all, very attentive and accommodating with the guest in mind. I was more than satisfied today and can only warmly recommend stopping by there. I will definitely go back. I have rarely felt so well looked after.

My husband and daughter received delicious gluten-free knuckle and fries. A vase was brought to us without asking for the birthday flowers. There is also a play area for the little ones.

A thank you to the service team! Following a funeral service, our family felt well cared for here.

We really liked it here. The food was great, but unfortunately it got pretty loud in the evening when it got full.

The beer, the food, the service, the place itself - perfect! Unfortunately, I have to say that on some days there is an unpleasant smell in one or some areas of the restaurant. This is neither due to a lack of hygiene in the kitchen nor due to bad food. Since the Polarium was built, the waterworks have struggled with the sewage system. Depending on the rain and wind conditions, it sometimes smells more, sometimes less or not at all. I hope you get it under control!

Food wasn't very tasty, beer was good.

Very tasty food, super friendly service with humor and a good mood, nice, rustic atmosphere

A nice place with really tasty beer. However, no restaurant for vegetarians or vegans.

Brewery with food and drink, delicious beers to drink throughout the year. The food was delicious, and I was very satisfied with my 700g knuckle of pork!

I ate knuckle, it was okay. If you want to eat reasonably cheaply in a nice atmosphere, it's ok. The food is average but OK.

Very friendly, reasonable prices We'll definitely go there again

I thought the food was delicious, but it was pricey... the shandy was also good. I really like the ambience, half rustic half modern. There is a children's corner. This could be designed to be a bit more inviting, but it's good that it exists. The service staff were very polite and nice and child-friendly. I'd love to come back...

Large and beautiful brewery as you would imagine. It was very crowded, but there were still lots of nice staff. The different beers tasted excellent. The knuckle was extremely tasty. Only the schnitzel wasn't that great, but still good. Definitely a restaurant where you would like to go often.

The food, drinks and ambience are great! But catastrophic service. Annoyed staff, rude to the customer who, as a guest, pays the money for the staff. Free tables will be held back and not marked as reserved. The employees then send paying guests away again... The choice of words plays a big role and if you can't cope with the business, it's better to keep it closed on such stressful days. The tables that were “reserved” were empty during our stay in the restaurant. Then it is usual that you can wait around 20-40 minutes for the employees. After 50 minutes the same lady took our order. The drinks came quickly, but the food took longer. Since we had a view of the kitchen serving area, we could see exactly how long our food had been sitting at the counter. There were the annoyed staff or employees again. I would like to point out again that not all employees in this restaurant are like that. Only in the rear area (sort of winter garden) at the exit to the park. But even the reservation is not possible because apparently the day is blocked online and no one answers the phone.

Hello, I only had all kinds of pork schnitzel on the menu! Nothing beef and game as described on the website. Very unfortunate! The wine served was also far too expensive and undemanding! Too bad! I won't be coming back with my friends!!!

I'm here today because I have a job interview at the zoo at 1 p.m. Since I have experience from gastronomy and hotel service myself, I am very enthusiastic about the Trotsenburg. It runs here, oh, it flows like a stream here. Everything completely natural and well organized. What really excites me is the technology. Because the Forsthaus seems to be up to date. If the waitress enters your drink into the computer, it will be at the table just a few moments later. The team is also diverse, which I also think is good. I will definitely come back and thank you for the nice stay ❤️ But I would like to have a homemade sour cream with the potato wedges, because I always ate that in the inn where Fachwerk 7 is now. Back then I worked there for €5 an hour, but I always looked forward to the delicious sour cream. Of course that wasn't the only tasty thing there, but it was cheap😅 Thank you for everything!

We are guests at the Forsthausbrauerei once a month. The service, the absolute friendliness and competence of the staff is always an experience for us. The food speaks of the technical craftsmanship. Always tastes excellent, fresh and well balanced in terms of taste. We look forward to next time 😊

Die Serviceangestellte hatte keine Lust auf Bedienen. Die Qualität der hochpreisigen Speisen war unterer Durchschnitt. Möchte man sich Reste einpacken lassen, zahlt man pro Styroporbehältnis 1€ (was vorher nicht kommuniziert wurde). Spieleecke für Kinder ist mölig und unangenehm dreckig. Teils Kaputtes Spielzeug.

Guest there for many, many years. And really never been disappointed. Everything is right there. Good service, delicious food and great beer. It's also nice that there is now another day of action on Monday with Schnitzel Day. That's why Wednesdays are beer and burger days. Mega delicious burgers handmade in top quality. That's how it has to be. In the summer, the beer garden invites you to chill out. Simply perfect.

A nice location, the ambience, food and beer are also quite good. Would go there again too. It wasn't enough for me to get 5 stars, but hey, we don't always expect 110%. It's worth a visit

Oh yes, I can recommend it 100%

Unfortunately, the food didn't convince us of the value for money. However, the service and the speed at which the food was delivered was top. Ps.: When you enter the Trotsenburg you are immediately struck by a pungent toilet smell. This should definitely be worked on. This is an absolute NO GO!

The service was very friendly and the food was ready quickly despite being busy. However, the food was unfortunately carelessly prepared, the fries were dry and the side salad was omitted. There is also a price surcharge of 25%. I can't recommend the Trotsenburg, apart from the beer.

Been a guest here for so many years. Whether Christmas, summer in the beer garden or several times a year. The beer is really great (unfortunately not my favorite Frechdachs beer at the moment), we often come just to drink beer. The food is always great and delicious. But the greatest praise goes to the staff (also a reason why we like to come) the boys in particular are great, so on their toes, always quick to say. We really feel welcome - thank you very much for that.

Delicious beer and Mett-) nothing more is possible before the Hansa game 😘🫡 Staff friendly

The kitchen has deteriorated a lot. Too bad

5 stars, 6 different meals all at the table at the same time, everything was delicious to the point and 25 euros per person was completely fine. We'll be back...

The food used to be delicious. Now it's no longer ok for the price. The beer tastes delicious as always

We have now spent our anniversary there several times. It was always great. Food delicious, service wonderful. They even put out a really cute tablecloth for us and lit a candle. I can't complain. Wonderful.

Price/performance very good. Plenty of food at a fair price 10-25€.

I have been a guest at the Trotsenburg for many years and have always been satisfied. The food is always very good and the beer they brew is delicious. The ambience is great. BUT, given all the great points and because everything is always excellent, I still give it 5 stars, but the toilets definitely need to be renovated or worked on. Because the smell in the entrance area is really not nice. Then instead of redoing the outside area, invest the money in the toilets. I always enjoy coming back and hope my constructive criticism is well received.

We always enjoy coming to Trotsenburg - whether for a real dinner or for a snack after a visit to the zoo. The selection is great for a brewery, the food is delicious and there are always new discoveries with the beers. It's great that our dog is also welcome.

Convenient food, but reasonable in price. The beer tastes delicious and there is a lot to choose from. Service is good. The hygienic condition of the toilets is inadequate, that shouldn't be allowed.

On our last visit we were seated next to the counter. It was cold and drafty. So it wasn't a comfortable get-together. It was also too loud for me personally.

everything was great, the food was delicious, the staff was friendly, the beer was wonderful

Good, home-style food. Price performance absolutely appropriate.

The New Year's Eve celebration was a successful event. The buffet was very good, with a wide variety of delicious foods. The great dance music created a nice atmosphere. What should be highlighted is the friendly and attentive staff. Special thanks go to the boss of the house, who organized a bottle of non-alcoholic sparkling wine for us. In short, a successful start to 2025. See you soon

Were there for the first time and definitely not the last time...called at lunchtime and immediately got a table for 8 people in the evening...the place is packed and huge...the beer tastes very good with the food...service very nice and very quick, always attentive...everything was great...it was easy to linger...top address for good middle class.... And another thing worth mentioning...absolutely top price...

Haben nach dem Besuch vom Karl's Rövershagen ein Lokal zum Einkehren gesucht und direkt einen Tisch bekommen, obwohl es sehr voll war! Ambiente ist sehr schick aber rustikal, der Service war Klasse 👍🏻 Die Hauseigenen Bier sind echt lecker und schmecken super 👍🏻 Das Essen hat uns sehr lecker geschmeckt....eine Empfehlung für das Forstbrauhaus Trotzenburg kann ich auf jeden Fall geben!

I celebrated my birthday with you yesterday and it was really great. The food was delicious as always. I love your grill knuckle. The crust was crunchy as always. 🤤 Almost all of my friends were thrilled too. The seating area was a bit narrow, but we arranged ourselves successfully. 😊 The left side on the gallery is simply too narrow for 17 people. I know that now. 😅 We also had a really great and warm waiter. The Marco. Please continue exactly like this. It was human and really honest. 💪

It's dad's 94th birthday on December 14th. Had lunch here in 2024! The food was simply great for everyone!!! Kind regards from Weimar! Wolfgang and Ina 👍👍👍

We were there for Christmas dinner in a larger group of 28 people and had already pre-ordered the food. At the beginning there was an agreement that there should be large water bottles on the table. So far everything went well, food was also served, the last 6 meals had to wait a bit so that the first ones were already ready. Unfortunately, after that we had very bad contact with the waiters; we just managed to get 3 more bottles of water. A few also went to the counter and ordered something there and brought it to the table themselves. It was also a shame that it wasn't Christmassy. After us our table was set for Christmas. We weren't even asked if it was tasty or if everything was OK, and two plates were simply cleared away even though the person wasn't finished yet. Speaking would be very helpful.
