Fritz Mitte - Schlossgasse in Jena

First with the good. The ambience has character and frankly the brand itself has a certain charm. The menu is very interesting and original - in itself would be grounds to go regularly. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. Went for lunch and there where about 6 tables being served so not rushed. Party of two and we ordered Spritz drinks as appartivo and then Steaks with sides for main and two deserts. Came to just over Euro 55 per person. Now the downside. We both ordered Steaks Medium Rare - both came out same time as the sides but very very well done. Apologies all round - New Steaks done correctly and an offer of complimentary coffee for the wait. I think this is a real shame as it was actually quite a good meal in the end. I usually do not write reviews but this is the second time I have been there and each time "kitchen chaos" of what looks like untrained, uncoordinated or unfocussed kitchen staff. The fist time breakfast for five and all meal orders came out incorrect coming from the kitchen. I did also leave a generous tip - for the waitress - as all in all was a nice lunch experience remediated very well by her - but she should not have been placed in that position by her kitchen colleagues.

Beautiful place, great food, great service. I had eggs for lunch (strammer max). A very special treat, not your average “egg lunch” at all!

Laden wirkt sehr stilvoll und schön eingerichtet. Jedoch sind die Preise viel zu hoch kalkuliert und man bekommt leider nur Softdrinks in 0,2l Flaschen für fast 4€. Zudem sind auch die Preise der Gerichte viel zu hoch. Die meisten Gerichte fangen bei 15€ an und die Portionsgröße ist dafür eine Frechheit. Man versucht hier wie ein trendiges Szenecafe zu wirken, doch leider mit mangelnder Qualität und mangelndem Service. Selbst in den angesagtesten Läden ob in Hamburg, Berlin oder Köln ist das Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis um weiten besser als hier. Der Service geht weder auf Bestellungswünsche ein noch wird es nicht akzeptiert dass man gehen und nur die Getränke bezahlen nachdem nach fast 2 Stunden immer noch kein Essen auf dem Tisch stand. Alles in allem ein grauenhaftes Erlebnis.

Nice shop, very tasty cheese burger and nice staff…. What more do you want?! Again and again!

Very nice atmosphere, nice staff but prices are quite high, everything else is great

Very nice staff :) We were also given recommendations that tasted delicious. We would be happy to come back!

I stayed here with my children and we found it very comfortable. The ambience is very nice. Modern and rustic at the same time, without being pretentious. The service is friendly and attentive. The food is very tasty, the many different mayonnaises have always been the symbol of Fritz Mitte. However, one star deducted because €4.50 for a 0.33l bottle of Fritz Limo is a bit cheeky.

Very good food! Good service! A recommended location!

The vibe and the food is perfect. The servers are qualified and very nice. Highly recommended to try the wildrind burger!

Fine food, great Only the paper on the menu should be renewed

Great food, you should order a delicious burger, sandwich or salad from the menu and you will be totally surprised. Something to look at and super tasty. If we are in Jena again, definitely again.

We received a very warm welcome last weekend and were given a table straight away without a reservation, despite it being busy. The food and the subsequent brownie (recommendation!!!) were, as expected, extremely tasty, very fresh and attractively served. We were also served by the friendly Marie, so we felt very comfortable with you :)

I was with someone at Fritz Mitte. The service was friendly, the food was very tasty (I had brioche with salmon and two eggs with avocado, grilled tomato and bacon and my companions each had a sandwich) and was just the right size of full but not comatose. I will definitely eat at Fritz Mitte again!

Great atmosphere, nice staff, delicious food...I go there regularly.

Today we had a business lunch with a larger group. Unfortunately, the service was a bit forgetful and the fact that almost only drinks were served from bottles was relatively slow. The price for the tiny drinks, some of which were not served properly chilled, is disproportionately high (€4.50 for a 0.33 beer). The burgers and fries were okay, but unfortunately by no means anything special. Unfortunately, the portion size was also a bit small for most people at the table. Even the Philly steak sandwich didn't blow anyone away at the table. Many people then had to order dessert to fill them up. Unfortunately there's probably a lot of hype about... not much. But the ambience is right.

It tasted delicious, also vegan. Great lacation

We were able to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary with brunch here and can highly recommend the breakfast selection. The price-performance ratio is perfect. The selection of food and drinks is satisfactory. The staff was very accommodating. We felt very comfortable and were happy about the little Easter surprise. We'd love to come back!

Always my pleasure! 😇 Very great atmosphere with delicious and unusual offerings. Nice and attentive employees in all branches! 😘

The steak sandwich is to die for

Just great! Great ambience, great food and the best service!

Very friendly service, extremely tasty food, highly recommended

The food is really good and tasty - but unfortunately it's hardly possible to "have a quick lunch here" in the restaurant. We waited a good 45 minutes for our food, and the currywurst itself was only lukewarm. Other guests also had similarly long waiting times. Especially when I only have a short lunch break, the waiting time is simply too long. There would be a warning from the service regarding the vss. Nice waiting time. Then we would definitely have made a different decision today.

Unfortunately there is only one portion size available, which costs a completely overpriced 4.20 euros. An extra sauce 1.50 euros. The sauces are portioned. This has long since had nothing to do with the old FritzMitte.

We are completely thrilled. Super tasty, very nice staff, Chic location, mega ambience

It was super tasty and great service. Thanks to Bremen.

Fine dining for street food. Very nicely implemented and absolutely reasonable in price. It's worth a visit

To be honest, I was disappointed, there wasn't much to choose from in terms of burgers. Unfortunately there was nothing child-friendly either so it was just fries for the child. We had currywurst, it was ok, the best thing was the fries, which were very tasty. I wouldn't go in there again.

Great ambience, beautifully prepared and of course delicious food! We'd love to come back :)

Wow, what an amazing restaurant in Jena, 100% recommended🤩🤩😛

We had a lunch for 5 pax there last Sunday. We ordered a bottle of wine that turned out to be out of stock, so they suggest wine they had by the glass, at half the price of the one they did not have. We accepted, but when I checked the bill next day, I saw that they still charged me for the more expensive wine they had not had in stock. My two phone calls and an email to the restaurant manager have so far failed to resolve this issue 5 days later, even though the person on the phone assured me it would be dealt with immediately.

I ate there for the first time today. Table reserved in advance. Service is very polite and attentive. Menu is clear. The food was very tasty. Will definitely come back.

One of my favorite spots in Jena, especially if you are a foreigner nearly all the workers can speak perfect english and they are extremely friendly! Comfort food! Vegan options and for me the highlight is the decoration!! Pleace is really beautifully decorate with high ceilings!! TOP!!! I suggest to make reservations before you go!

They are extremely popular. For good reason. It's a celebration to eat here every time you visit.

I already knew it, so everyone goes there.

Very long waiting times (greater than 1 hour)! Price quite expensive!

Very nice service. Many young people. Quite noisy but very good food.

A great, cozy atmosphere rounds off the meal. Price-performance ratio is great and there is something for small and large appetites. We received a very friendly welcome and unobtrusive, professional service. This has actually become rare in the catering industry. The vegetarian burger was very good and the “Philly” sandwitch with steak strips was really great. We will be back definitely.

Tolles Ambiente/Atmosphäre, tolles Essen, professionelle Bedienung. Wir haben uns die Bewertungen im Vorfeld durchgelesen und müssen sagen, dass wir dieses ganz und gar nicht so erlebt haben (vermutlich war es ehemaliges Personal, entsprechend ist es schade, wenn man dann die Qualität des Essens in den Hintergrund rücken lässt- wenn auch verständlich) Unser Besuch war in allen Belangen sehr gut. Kurze Wartezeit und tolles Essen. Auch wenn der Preis den ein oder anderen abschrecken mag, so Kaninchen das Philly Sandwich empfehlen. Das Fleisch war zart und on point Medium gebraten. Zusammen mit den Schmorzwiebeln, den Paprika und dem Dressing war es ein Gaumenschmaus. Der Sprizz war auch super angerichtet. Klare Empfehlung ! Nochmal zurück zum Personal. Unsere Bedienung war freundlich, unaufdringlich und aufmerksam…. Und das obwohl wir etwas versteckt gesessen haben 👍🏻

Exceptional burgers, crazy flavor mixtures. Simply great. These fries...amazing. Unreservedly recommended.

It was another experience to eat at Fritz Mitte. Very tasty food and drinks. The staff very friendly and quick.

The food here is really excellent. It has little to do with the original Fritz Mitte, because there is much more here than fries and currywurst. A first-class Reuben sandwich, for example. Cozy, clean, fast and friendly. Also very child friendly. Since it is always very full, you should make a reservation or stop by at a less busy time. Absolutely recommended.

Super delicious food, great service, cozy and beautiful interior, top place in Jena! 🔥

The breakfast ideas are great, but every breakfast should have at least one OJ. It's too expensive to do it more often.

The service was nice, the lemonades and breakfast were delicious and the ambience was great. We sat on a comfortable couch and I had salmon brioche for brunch.

Very accommodating staff Good and delicious food Cozy atmosphere Clear view into the kitchen

Great value for money and a great team. I am often in Jena and always in Fritz Mitte. I can only recommend it

Very tasty and very tasty. We were well looked after and felt comfortable. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back.

Expensive, you have to order everything individually, the food is quite greasy and it is very loud. But the fries are top notch!

Very full place The food is good Price is rather high

Great restaurant with a really great ambience and very friendly service. The poached egg for breakfast was actually obscenely good. We recommend!

Maybe some people here are thinking: "Wait a minute... four stars for service and ambience, but only two stars overall?". Exactly, because the rating system unfortunately does not cover price/performance. And this is so impactful that I wouldn't want to give it more stars. What has happened in terms of price and portion size over the years can no longer be excused by inflation. Someone came up with the idea of ​​turning a great chip shop with ingenious homemade mayonnaise, a very tasty sausage with sauce and a very good price-performance ratio into a kind of "upscale franchise" that would like to be popular. The website has an elegant design with lots of high-resolution photos and a new menu width with salads with quinoa, hummus, as well as club house sandwiches, buttermilk fried chicken burgers and other nonsense that I not only don't expect in a chip shop, but simply also Yes, it all looks pretty, but the taste of the food doesn't do justice to the outrageous prices. Apparently some hip start-up books or day courses in the VHS say that this is how modern franchising works. NO! IT DOES NOT WORK! You are a chip shop and not a trendy Parisian café! People come to you because they want the awesome Belgian fries with the Berlin sausage; plus the fantastic mayonnaises. Now I can't even get a small fries for in between meals because - at least in Schlossgasse - there is only one size and at 4 euros in portion size and the mini blob of mayo in the bowl it's no longer convincing. Due to the breadth of the range, your core business - the fries - also had to suffer in terms of price. The fact that you don't even seem to dare to add the prices to your dishes on the website also says a lot. Just too expensive for such hip demands. Yes, all of this may sound harsh. But: it's just an opinion. And that means: go back to your roots and simply specialize in mayo, sausage and sauces.

The space at the door is not nice, but otherwise a very pleasant location. The food is delicious, but if you're hungry or a man, you have to pay decently for it. Great service. I was satisfied

We are very excited. Admittedly not cheap, but everything we have eaten so far has been lovingly prepared and very tasty. Service is very friendly, apart from one slip-up in the summer. Good food takes time when there is a lot of crowds... Still a clear recommendation. Photos are of the breakfast menu.

Excellent food and service. From burgers to desserts and coffee, even the juice felt a bit special. Love the decor and the very nice staff :) surprisingly good experience compared to most other eatries these days in Jena. I hope they maintain this quality.

Ich habe vor Ort gegessen um die Mittagszeit. Das Angebot war top, es gab nicht nur Burger und Pommes, sondern auch Waffeln, Sandwich und strammer Max - das hat mich positiv überrascht. Komme garantiert wieder.

Super toll aber ein bisschen zu teuer

Nichts für Steak Liebhaber war nicht so gut viel zu klein und preis Leistung war einfach schlecht . Die Burger waren gut und Beilagen alles gut nur bitte kein Steak bestellen komplette Geld Verschwendung . Personal war auch Mega freundlich !

Great vegetarian and vegan food, excellent service and a very nice atmosphere. I had the hummus and falafel bowl and a portion of sweet potato fries - highly recommended.

Die besten Süßkartoffelchips der Welt. Verschiedene sehr besondere Majos mit Geschmacksrichtungen von Zitrone über Erdnuss bis zu Honig-Limette.

Immer eine gute Adresse für ein leckeres und abwechslungsreiches Frühstück! Alles andere schmeckt auch sehr gut.

Haben 2 Curry Würste mit Pommes bestellt, aber haben leider nur die Pommes bekommen.

Hier hat es mir sehr gut gefallen. Angenehme freundliche Mitarbeiter:innen und die Hummus und Falafel Bowl war einfach fantastisch. Vielen Dank für den schönen und wohlschmeckenden Nachmittag und absolute Empfehlung.

Leider bin ich als kleine, dünne Person von einem Burger für fast 17€ nicht satt geworden. „Fine Dining“ auf Fastfoodniveau, aber Preise wie bei den ganz großen. Schade, dass die lokalen Buden Jenas auch zu kapitalistischen Großkonzernen werden wollen.

Leckere Burger Kreationen und zuvorkommendes Personal. Gut besucht. Reservierung vorteilhaft, wenn man nicht früh genug kommen kann bzw. möchte.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, liebevoll angerichtete und originelle Speisen, schönes Ambiente - absolut empfehlenswert für ein entspanntes Frühstück in Jena

Mich persönlich hat das Essen nicht voll überzeugt. Die Portionsgröße für die Currywurst war zu klein. Die Pommes waren viele kleine verbrannte Randstücke . Ich weiß aber das sie es besser können.

Moin..wir waren heute bei euch das erste mal essen und wir fühlten uns sofort sehr willkommen. Der nette Kellner hat uns an unseren Tisch gebracht und hat uns super nett bedient und uns die Spezialitäten des Hauses nachegebracht. Super schneller persönlicher Service und das Essen war echt mega lecker. Ich hatte die Currywurst mit einem Salat des Hauses, dazu Pommes mit einer extrem leckeren Mayo...die ihr selber macht...Hut ab...das Essen war echt SEHR lecker. Wir kommen im nächsten Urlaub sehr gern wieder! Euer Personal ist mega nett ...danke nochmal. Euer Restaurant ist sehr gepflegt und mega stylisch eingerichtet. Liebe Grüße von der Nordseeküste an den netten Kellner..Ich glaub er weiß wer gemeint ist. Dickes festtes Lob...wir kommen wieder.

Sehr gutes Essen sehr empfehlenswert, komme gerne wieder!

Mal was neues! Essen war klasse kann man nur weiter empfehlen!

Alles super. Gute Stimmung, leckeres Essen. Top

Heute, am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag war unsere Familie, 10 Personen, 4 Generationen zu essen dort. Wir waren sehr angenehm überrascht. Essen gut, die Bedienung ausgezeichnet, umsichtig und sehr liebevoll. Es war ein sehr schöner Tag. Vielen Dank an das Personal.

Das Essen und vor allem der Service waren TOP!!! Gerne wieder ;)

Das Essen war lecker aber für die Portionsgröße sehr teuer. Leider nicht viele vegane Alternativen.

Der Brunch war wirklich ein cooles Erlebnis – unglaublich lecker und abwechslungsreich. Obwohl ich normalerweise keine vegetarischen Gerichte esse, hat mich der Brunch mit Kürbis einfach umgehauen. Und der Brunch mit Lachs und Kaviar? Absolut köstlich! Eine Empfehlung ist definitiv der Shake mit Joghurt und Hafermilch – eine erfrischende Ergänzung zu den verschiedenen Aromen. Dieser Ort hat es geschafft, selbst für jemanden, der normalerweise nicht auf vegetarische Speisen steht, eine fantastische Auswahl anzubieten. Ein Brunch-Erlebnis, das man unbedingt ausprobieren sollte!

Ambiente schön, Bedienung sehr nett, aber leider völlig unstrukturiert - es hat leider ewig gedauert und die Portionen sind für den Preis klein...

Nette Bedienung, tolles Ambiente und leckeres Essen zu vernünftigen Preisen. Hier gibt sich jemand Mühe und hat eine gute Idee.

Normalerweise schmeckt das Essen bei Fritz Mitte sehr gut. Die Pommes sind super und die Getränke schön gekühlt. Leider waren die letzten 2 Besuche nicht wirklich zufriedenstellend. Der "Chicken Caesar Salad" ist kein wirklicher Caesar Salat. Das Dressing wässrig, kaum Parmesan, Champignons, die nicht dazu gehören, kein Geschmack und das für stolze 17 EUR. Das Crème Brûlée war kalt und flockig. Man konnte es nicht essen.

Ein extrem gelungener Abend. Ein super Angebot an Speisen. Von Vorspeise bis Nachspeise alles sehr lecker. (Mein persönlicher Favorit ist der Buttermilk Burger) Preisleistungsverhältnis ist wirklich super. Wer gute Burger für faire Preise möchte ist hier definitiv richtig! Wir werden immer wieder kommen ☺️

Ein Super freundliches Personal und super leckeres, ausgefallenes Frühstück. Danke dafür

Toll! Essen war super, vor allem sehr abwechslungsreich. Cool eingerichtet und gemütlich

Super leckeres Essen, das Restaurant ist toll eingerichtet und obwohl viel los war, kam das Essen schnell. & sehr freundlicher Service.

Sehr leckeres Essen in angenehmer Atmosphäre. Freundliches und lustiges Personal

Freundliches Personal, fantastisches Essen, wundervolles Ambiente

Find ich super dort!Sehr gutes Ambiente und sehr freundliches Personal!Komme bald mal wieder🙂

Hatte das Ribeye Sandwich, war sehr lecker. Beilagen Portion könnte für einen Vielfrahs wie mich etwas größer sein, aber alles in allem Top! Als Bier wird Bayreuther geführt! Mega! Hefe sehr gut😉🙈

Tolles Ambiente und wahnsinnig leckeres Essen! Preislich etwas gehoben. Aber es lohnt sich. Nette Bedienungen. Viele vegane und vegetarische Gerichte.

Alles in Allem Super! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Service wirklich Klasse. Essen auch. Empfehlung ! Nicht verwechseln- ist keine Pommes-Bude auxh wenn es leckere gibt!

Pedi um clássico batatas com curry wurst e uma fritz cola. Excelente comida e atendimento. Eles têm também opções veganas!

Abendessen anlässlich des Geburtstags meines Partners verlief alles andere als Entspannt und schön. Essen für 3 Personen bestellt. 2 Personen bekamen das Essen vom Nachbartisch hingestellt und eine Person eine Bestellung mit Zutaten, die vorab explizit bei der Bestellung abgewählt worden. Alles in allem ewig gewartet. Keine Korrektur der falschen Zuordnung des Essens. Eine kurze Erklärung endet damit, dass die Kellnerin nie wieder an dem Abend in der nähe unseres Tisches bediente. Niemand kam zum abräumen oder für Aufnahme einer weiteren Bestellung z.B Dessert oder Getränke. So haben wir uns das nicht vorgestellt. Fehler können passieren. Aber dieser Umgang war einfach unprofessionell und eine Blamage. Ein Tipp.... eine Entschuldigung und ein Getränk aufs Haus oder Gutschein für eine zweite Chance wäre sinnvoller, als sich zu verstecken und damit Kunden zu verlieren. So kann ich den Laden leider Niemanden empfehlen.
