Franziskaner im Centro in Oberhausen

This store is a real disgrace. We waited at least half an hour for a waiter to come. Guests who arrived after us were served first. But it shouldn't stay that way. We ordered the original Wiener Schnitzel with veal twice from the acne-faced waiter. We were brought two pork schnitzels, which we only noticed afterwards because the accompanying cranberry sauce was not included. Only when my friend asked a waiter did he tell us that two pork schnitzels had been delivered to us. If he hadn't told us that, I would have paid stupid money for inferior meat. I then complained to the “boss”. I didn't pay the bill. The store is a real disgrace. At least 4 waiters were unable to serve a handful of guests because only the outside area was open anyway. Never again!!!

After more than 2 years we had dinner at the Franziskaner again. Service was very good as always, food tasted great. We had the Alpine burger and the Leberkäs with fried eggs and fried potatoes. Plus a freshly tapped Löwenbräu. 100% recommendation.

Hearty food, attentive and friendly staff. Nice to sit outside in the summer season.

Unfortunately, we were completely ignored (overlooked?) when ordering. When asked, they said, colleague is coming. Didn't come, asked again. It then took about 10 more minutes until someone came and took the order. The food came quite quickly and was also tasty. Vegetarian portions, however, are puny compared to the price. Not worth it. Friend definitely didn't get full (only had spaetzle, no meat). It's a shame, I had better memories of the Franciscan from before - the ambience is still great...

For me the most beautiful place in CentrO. We don't have to talk about the great beer, but the service is absolutely great! Always received very warm and caring service! 5*+ the ladies and gentlemen from the service!

Super nice service. Eat delicious food

The food wasn't anything special, roast pork, malt beer sauce, red cabbage and napkin dumplings. My girlfriend had a Franciscan pan. Her side dishes were just pork fillet with mushroom cream sauce as a side dish of meat. The meat for both of them was pretty well done and unfortunately dry. I've never had malt beer sauce so bad. Unfortunately the dumpling was also dry for both of them. The red cabbage is nothing special either. The sauce for the fillet cream without anything? At least one mushroom got lost. All in all, we borrowed both salt and pepper from the neighboring table. It was very crowded so it took 45 minutes. Waiting time understandable. There was only space outside and this was regulated at the door as follows: Reserved? No, then only outside. No sooner said than done, we looked for a place. As a starter there was bread with creams. The bread was really delicious. The creams were OK. After dinner we asked a young lady to pay. 10 minutes later we asked a gentleman to stop again because we wanted to go to a concert and the time was slowly getting tighter. Original sound Waiter: Yes, wait, everyone claimed to be in a hurry, loudly across the tables as he continued to walk. After a short moment he came back, ran past, served another table and was then gracious enough to settle the bill. No one asked if it tasted good. Well, we still tipped just under €7. But we wouldn't visit the Franziskaner in Oberhausen again. Unfortunately I can't rate the ambience, we didn't get into the restaurant. Outside it's no longer like 2 stars.

We like to go to the Franciscan for breakfast. Good selection and coffee is included in the price It's worth it

Solid location, but rather run of the mill.

No, the worst dumplings in my life

Bottomless impudence! I have never been treated like this in a restaurant. The waiter was very unfriendly from the start. He seemed totally annoyed - even when he ordered the drink. Then we wanted to order food. Due to a serious illness and the resulting intolerance, we wanted to change the side dish for a dish. We were told in a mushy tone that this wasn't possible. He didn't even care about the reference to the illness. When we wanted to speak to the boss, he became even more unfriendly and simply said no. We paid for the drinks and left!! Never again for us!! Customer friendliness is different. Additionally high prices and long waiting times!

Food was tasty, but unfortunately not served hot

Nice atmosphere. Trimmed with a lot of force for Alpine land. The service was OK. The food is good but not surprising. The prices are demanding. Overall everything is ok. A bit too expensive for the performance. ...

Great store. Delicious food, friendly service, great ambience and all at a fair price. The only point of criticism is to ventilate occasionally. Gladly again 🙂

If you want to be called by your first name, you're in good hands there. The casserole was very grossly cut. The Zipfelklatscher (sausage salad) couldn't hold a candle to the one I know in Bavarian Swabia.

The food is quite ok; more focused on “fast food”. The service is very fast and very nice. The ambience (that's my impression) could be improved because there were little unsightly "corners" here and there.

Very good breakfast buffet. Drinks such as coffee, orange juice, milk included in the price. Cozy, Bavarian atmosphere.

Addendum: After I wrote an email, we were able to resolve the incident calmly. Thank you for the feedback and the opportunity to get to know the store and what it offers again. I would give 5 stars for that! Waited over an hour for the food despite a reservation. The staff reacted unfriendly to the information that a follow-up appointment was coming up and the order had to be canceled, threatening the waiter directly with management. According to the waitress, it's "our own problem if you eat there at 6 p.m. on a Saturday..." it's not possible! It was ultimately done, but customer orientation looks different. Once and never again

Very good food, great service! A bit uncomfortable due to the size.

Nice staff, nice atmosphere, moderate prices.

I was a guest there last week with my son. The toilets weren't particularly inviting. But what annoyed me most was that the cocktail I ordered, for just under 10 euros, was served in an Ikea water glass. For 10 euros I can expect to get a nice cocktail glass with appropriate decorations. Instead, there was a single dried orange slice floating around inside. It looked like it was moving from cocktail to cocktail. I was really shocked. Looking back, I'm annoyed that I didn't say anything to the service team.

The Franziskaner in the Centro is a very nice pub with an appealing atmosphere. The waitress is absolutely amazing, super nice and friendly. Her colleague is also nice and friendly. We were persuaded to have a lunch menu. Liver cheese with egg and fried potatoes is fine, so it only gets four stars. Dessert Kaiserschmarrn was great, the other dishes (see photos) all looked good and tasted perfect.

We were there spontaneously on a Sunday. Food was brought to the table very quickly, to be honest, too quickly... It felt like less than 5 minutes had passed and the food arrived... Well... unfortunately that's what it tasted like... The "lukewarm potato and cucumber salad" was made from the classic ready-made potato salad pot, warmed up in the microwave and then served in a bowl with three small cucumber slices (does it taste like Aro from the metro?)... We also ordered an ONION roast with MALT BEER SAUCE. Unfortunately only one type of STEAK was served with a normal gravy... When I asked where the onions and the malt beer sauce were, a small bowl of onions was handed over... The malt beer sauce was not discussed at all... So to the conclusion... In our opinion, the restaurant only benefits from the good location and the lack of good breweries in the area. We ordered what was supposed to be an onion roast with malt beer sauce, an original veal schnitzel with lukewarm potato, cucumber salad and two 0.3l shandies each and with a two euro tip we got 70 euros!! Paid... We would also have been looking forward to a good dessert, but that wasn't to be expected here... The yeast dumplings looked more like they were served from the freezer (Roling). And for that money... NO THANK YOU!

Delicious food, nice atmosphere!

For years when we shop in Centro we often eat at the Franziskaner. The food remains good and the atmosphere is always pleasant.

Very nice restaurant, cozy, great menu, friendly service, it wasn't the last time there

The location is chic. Unfortunately the food wasn't tasty. We had to wait a long time for new drinks.

I can recommend the breakfast buffet. Price performance top.

It was freezing cold in the restaurant on the first floor and it was drafting like pike soup. The women had a blanket for their legs in the (!) restaurant so that they wouldn't freeze. The food was ok, but nothing more. The quality is not sufficient for the price, hence only 3 stars. The service was great. Nice girl, made a real effort and explained the situation to some extent. We won't be coming back.

Good food in a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately very poorly heated.

Hearty Bavarian-style food - or various burgers at reasonable prices. Good service

Super delicious food. Hearty cuisine

We were there for breakfast on a Saturday. It was very cold. Why isn't the heating turned on in winter?

Yes, unfortunately the heating was broken, but the staff and food were both great and the price for the lunch menu was just as acceptable

This restaurant is highly recommended. Breakfast buffet is great. If you don't get enough here, it's your own fault. I'd love to come back.

Very good restaurant with perfect service.

Visit on January 29, 2025 for breakfast. We didn't have a reservation. Service very friendly. The coffee (also several) is included in the price. The breakfast was delicious; The selection could be richer compared to competitors in the area.

Excellent food and service. Food arrived within 10 minutes of ordering and the server was lovely and friendly. I would recommend their dark beer.

Beautifully designed, nice staff. Just had a drink there.

When we went shopping in the Centro, we had lunch here. We had meat loaf with fried eggs and fried potatoes from the lunch menu. We enjoyed it very much. The price is really acceptable. The service was very nice. We'll definitely come back.

After having a very nice day in Centro last Saturday, we had dinner here. We were given a table upstairs, which was fortunately a lot quieter than downstairs, but it seemed as if they had forgotten us every time because it took time before we could do anything. ordering and also when it was served took a very long time. the employee who worked upstairs apparently had a bad day, that's possible, but don't direct that at your customers. we won't be coming back here again.

The goulash soup was cold. The roasted onions in beer sauce with fried potatoes had red cabbage that was not mentioned. There was no Haxse because the oven was broken. The only thing that was good was the apple strudel. Ambience and service was good.

It's OK. You have to pay extra for everything. A small handful of salad with the Schnitzel would have made all the difference. Next time go somewhere else.

Frühstück war hervorragend , es wurde zu jeder Zeit nachgefüllt ! Bedienung sehr freundlich und schnell ! Rundum weiter zu empfehlen!!!

Nice ambience but food really wasn't good

Food is mediocre, ready meals. Staff is arrogant and unfriendly and apparently do not know the labels. When paying, it turns out that you have to pay a minimum of 5% tip, which in my opinion they do not deserve, when I asked where I could get a 0% tip on the ATM because I was simply not satisfied, he ignored it and waited until I paid the minimum. had clicked. In short, a food shop that wants to make money quickly.

Sehr gutes reichhaltiges Buffet und alles frisch und lecker 🤤 Kommen gerne wieder. Netter freundlicher Kellner. Ja

We only had drinks. But I can only recommend the restaurant and the staff.

I like it very much. I'll definitely come back.

Wir nutzen dort gerne das Frühstücksbuffet. Die Auswahl ist nicht riesig, aber für uns reicht es. Der Kaffee ist im Preis enthalten, sowie Lachs, Würstchen, käse, Ei usw. Die Bedienung -Uschi- ist immer gut gelaunt und charmant. Bei unserem Besuch war die Heizung defekt. Es standen aber Heizlüfter zur Verfügung und wir wurden immer liebevoll gefragt, ob die Temperatur in Ordnung sei. Wir kommen gerne wieder 👍

Everything deserves 5 stars The knuckle was great as was the nice service Everything very cozy inside with a fire Came from Munich in Franciscan

We were invited there for breakfast. The table we ordered was in the middle of the room. It was very loud, the food was okay. There was something fresh and for every taste. To pay you had to find someone from the service department.

The food was very, very tasty and the ambience was also very good! Service depended on whose turn it was. Some waiters were great, others not so much. The place was packed and some waiters seemed overwhelmed. Overall, everything was great!

Rustic Bavarian restaurant on the promenade in CentrO with the typical menu. Nice and young staff. Free parking nearby. Be sure to reserve for events in the arena.

The service on site was great 👍 and the waitresses were very nice and accommodating. We were given a good seat because my wife is in a wheelchair. Regarding the food, I have to say that it was very good and also in terms of price/performance ratio. The meat was a bit too dry for my wife 😅. The homemade iced tea tasted great. We would love to come back 👍.

It's getting more and more expensive but still good compared to the others

Food was good but the place was very crowded and therefore noisy. [Advent season]

Preis Leistung stimmt und alle Speisen waren spitze

Sehr leckeres,reichhaltiges Frühstück zum angemessenen Preis

The staff is very attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic. The food was very tasty. When I'm in Oberhausen, I like to come back here

After a Christmas stroll, the supposed Alpine kitchen looked very inviting. When you stop at the Centro Promenade, you expect system catering and convenience products. Unfortunately, despite these low expectations, the disappointment was great: The quality of the food is underground. A thick skin covered roast pork, what were supposed to be bread dumplings and my wife's cheese spaetzle. The food was bland and poorly seasoned. I've eaten badly a lot of times. But this is the current low point of what you get in German restaurants. Even the beer was stale and almost non-carbonated. It's shocking that there are actually people who can see something positive from this. Apart from the ambience.

I would like to give 0 Stars if it was possible.. The Servis was terrible.. second time on a row that the “Blonde Lady with Tattoo” didn’t allow us to seat simply because we wanted to drink smth and not to eat (it was 9Am) In her words “- If you want to drink smth you can go to Horsthemke”.

I would like to give 0 stars. A pleasant atmosphere but with disgusting staff. People without any politeness. They don't know how to deal with customers.

Have eaten there many times and the quality is always great and the staff is always super friendly. The only thing I think is that the portions have become smaller!

We tested the breakfast buffet at the Franziskaner for 16.90 euros and were very satisfied. Price-performance ratio is right here, but the Alpine breakfast on Sundays and public holidays seems a bit expensive to us based only on the menu. Even without a reservation, we luckily managed to get a spot on a Saturday, but a reservation is still recommended as it was really very full. An identical buffet was set up on both levels, drinks are also included. The filter coffee was ok, but there are no other coffee specialties.

Lokal war voll besetzt - die sehr netten Herren im Service, haben trotzdem ganz ruhig und souverän gearbeitet - toll! Essen war gut, wir würden wiederkommen.

Very friendly staff. The food is good and worth the price. You pay more than in the "Cola Oasis" in the Centro, but you have a nicer ambience, peace and space while eating.

The price and quality of brunch on a Sunday are absolutely ok. It's just a shame that hot chocolate (which child drinks cold chocolate in winter?) costs extra. It was also very cold in the restaurant and therefore uncomfortable. In order to be able to take fried potatoes out of the pan, you would need a second person to hold the lid. Therefore only two stars for the ambience. There is still a lot of room for improvement.

Delicious and sufficient breakfast. There's something for everyone. There's even sparkling wine. Friendly service who also cleared away used plates very quickly. The only drawback: it was cold in the rooms. We were freezing.

Service und Essen super ! Allerdings haben wir alle gefroren Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden

The staff is always very friendly. For brunch there are as many drinks and coffee as you want.

Perfect restaurant to finish a day at centro Christmas market Oberhausen. Traditional German cuisine at affordable rates

Leider war es diesmal sehr kalt im Restaurant so dass ein gemütlicher Vormittag mit Frühstück nicht angenehm war.... Da ich normalen Kaffee nicht mehr vertragen, hat mir dieses Mal koffeinfreier gefehlt

We went to the Franziskaner for the first time (breakfast buffet). Unfortunately we were very disappointed. It was very cold inside, probably because the heating system couldn't keep up with outside temperatures in the minus range. There were even people wearing thick jackets eating. It was also very dark inside, but the biggest negative point was the food. The area was very small and narrow, so there was hardly any space to eat. There was hardly any choice and the food was so high that children couldn't help themselves. We won't be coming back again.

The atmosphere itself is cozy and the service is friendly. But charging EUR 1 each for ketchup and mayo (and not being informed in advance) is quite cheeky when you get a soup that is marked with bread on the menu, comes without bread and is only told that it's out when you ask. Schnitzel is served carelessly, without any side dishes. The restaurant itself has great potential but lacks an understanding of hospitality.

-Brötchen teilweise sehr hart -kaum Kontakt mit Service zwecks fragen was anderes trinken etc. - Wenig Käseauswahl

Essen war sehr lecker 😋 und die Bedienung mega 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice restaurant, good food and large portions. This is the third time we've eaten there and it's always good.

Ich war heute zum ersten Mal im Franziskaner mit meiner Mutter. Wir wurden an den Tisch gesetzt, und leider war uns das Konzept nicht bekannt. Niemand kam an unseren Tisch und hat uns erklärt, wie das Buffet Frühstück funktioniert. Viel zu wenig Platz am Buffet. Es gab großes Gedränge, und man stand sich quasi auf den Füßen. Leider auch zu wenig Auswahl für den Preis.

Trotz großer Auslastung top Service, Frühstück wie immer reichlich und gut

Small tip, the toilets should be cleaned more often, towel paper was already on the floor.

The price-performance ratio is not given. Schnitzel prices are record breaking.

Nice typical German restaurant, with good dishes! Near CentrO lovely way to end tour day of shopping!

We reserved a table for the breakfast buffet and can't complain about anything! Friendly reception, good seating, ambience also OK, toilets clean!! Coffee and various juices, mineral water and the buffet actually offers everything you need for breakfast for the price (€16.90), from scrambled eggs with bacon to small sausages to various types of bread and rolls and plenty of toppings such as cheese, sausage, salmon etc. etc.!! It was our first time there and definitely not the last time!! We hope that they will and can maintain this standard and not become as bad as in the Restaurant König a few meters away!! Kind regards, Christof

Definitiv ein Besuch wert Jedes Jahr wenn wir zum Weihnachtsmarkt oberhausen fahren, enden wir im Franziskaner. Können es nur weiterempfehlen

We ate there and one of us suffered from it afterwards. Portions are okay. The layout of the plates is also okay.

Had a coffee and a small beer. Paid 10 euros for this and when paying they ask you if you want to pay a tip. Once and never again. It's outrageous that they ask that.

Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen war frisch zubereitet, es wurde alles schnell nachgelegt. Es gab leckere, frische Backwaren. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Great food, good atmosphere, good service...

It's a shame, the food and service drag down what is actually a nice restaurant. Ready-made schnitzel, wings that were too dark (some people would have sent them back). People preferred to fool around with each other instead of serving customers.

So far we have only used the breakfast buffet several times. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right. It was important to us that coffee was included in the price. The service staff is extremely courteous and always has a smile on their face. We like to come here for breakfast.

Cozy restaurant with hearty food. Make sure to make a reservation during the Christmas market. Very friendly and fast service. We ate a delicious schnitzel.

We've been there several times, it's always worth a visit.

We just had a drink there. The lady from the service didn't think it was that great. Although there were enough free tables for two. Otherwise, good plain Bavarian cuisine. Very spacious as the first floor also offers nice seating. Toilet is on the 1st floor, a bit unfortunate

If you have not reserved, you will be pressed afterwards. We only came there for a drink. After 10 minutes someone came to take the order. Which was only delivered after 10 minutes. So if you are thirsty you shouldn't be there.

Personal sehr freundlich, Speisen waren gut und alle 7 essen kamen gleichzeitig,auf Nachfrage ob man die Musik etwas leiser machen könnte wurde sofort reagiert 👍

There were five of us and we just wanted something to drink. Nope, we were sent away. Let's be honest, they don't seem to depend on guests. You definitely don't treat them like that!!! Never again

The coffee ☕️ doesn't work at all, it just doesn't taste like coffee, and it's still lukewarm.

Very busy because of the Christmas market. Nice people. Generous portions for drinks and food.

Preis Leistung wirklich gut, für gute Esser wurde noch Was kleines nachbestellt
