Fritz Mitte - Schlossgasse in Jena

The ambience is outstanding, stylish and chic atmosphere! The service is unparalleled in Jena: the very competent man at reception recommended that we order a starter or the main course quickly, otherwise some larger tables might order before us. Craziness! In between, there were always questions about whether everything was OK, great tips and recommendations for ordering. The food was really very good, well prepared and very tasty. I really didn't expect this experience! :)

Clear recommendation, in every respect!

Always a pleasure, the selection is large and exquisite and the food is very tasty.

Top service, very tasty grill plate. In any case, highly recommended.

Found a great place to stop while browsing! Service very very attentive. Drinks came very quickly. Music in the background is not too loud. Currywurst and fries also came very quickly, much to my children's delight. I'll be back.

Friendly and accommodating with excellent food!

Top service, great food. Not cheap in terms of price, but absolutely justified.

Very nice restaurant with very nice staff and very good food.

Upscale food and ambience without being aloof. If you want to eat exceptionally well in a great atmosphere, completely relaxed and with excellent service, this is absolutely the right place for you!

Gluten-free pancakes are very tasty, but they are the only gluten-free dish.

A dream from A to Z! Great decor, cozy atmosphere, fast, friendly staff, best currywurst of my life, wonderful selection of cheese, delicious sparkling wine! I would do it again at any time!

The fanciest Fritz Mitte in jena, located right next to the main building of the University. The decor is wonderful and so is the food. Some lovely fancy burgers and wonderful fries. The salsiccia wurst is so rich and delicious. My favourite was the Bahn mi bao burger with fatty pork belly but they replaced it recently with some thing else. Now I prefer the buttermilk chicken fried burger. Also in the mornings they serve a wonderful breakfast selection. The fresh croissant and French butter is to die for.

A very cozy café-restaurant. The food is fantastic, highly recommended

Very tasty sweet potato fries and various types of mayo, also very tasty.

An extra portion of mayo costs €1.50, which is far too much. You could sell an extra portion for €0.50 or €0.70, otherwise everything tastes great.

Solid currywurst, tastes good. The portion size of the French fries could be a little larger. It's enough for a midday snack - if you were more hungry your stomach would growl. Apart from that, the price-performance ratio fits. Staff very friendly and attentive.

Absolutely top, stylish location, quality of food and drinks and very friendly service

Delicious food. Super friendly and nice staff.

Delicious. Nice for an evening meal with good friends or family.

Very tasty breakfast, super nice staff and cozy interior. Come back anytime!!!

When you enter the “restaurant”, you are initially in a slightly cramped area. However, this is due to the regular and hearty number of visitors. You get a pleasant feeling walking into an upscale restaurant even though you're looking for "fast food." It is particularly recommended in the evening because of the warm and indirect lighting. Tables, chairs, buildings... the furnishings themselves are well thought out and extremely pleasant. After almost 30 seconds we were greeted (with a smile) and shown to the table. The service is attentive enough to be considered very good in such restaurants. This doesn't give you an uncomfortable feeling and is hardly noticeable when walking through it due to the dark clothing. You could develop the feeling of togetherness... e.g. on a date... The plate that arrived looks like the chefs not only had the right to make decisions, but actually had fun. What was expected was a burger with fries and mayo. However, you get a plate that is visually appealing and divided. Nothing touches or is separate from each other, but on the plate it seems like a whole composition. The shop is basically known positively for its fries and mayo, which is why we go straight to the burger. The rolls are freshly made (probably daily) and extremely buttery. Combined with the buttermilk marinated chicken, without the breading and siracha sauce, you'd almost forget you were even eating a citizen after swallowing it. You develop a satiated, but also satisfied and healthy feeling. (Nothing is difficult to digest in the stomach)

Tippi Toppi. Delicious food. Nice atmosphere 👌

Unusually friendly service, very tasty food, good meat, but also very tasty meat-free options. Cross-fried fries, finely composed spices and a very appealing ambience between cozy and modern. Good lighting concept! Thank you for your kindness and feel-good stay!

The prices are a bit high but the food and the service were good.

Had a bad day today and had dinner here in the evening. The decor caught my attention as I walked past, which is why I wanted to try this place. The food and drink was very tasty and together with the super friendly service it was really good and saved my day. This is exactly how restaurant visits should be ❤️

Great restaurant! Would love to come back.

We (family) fear that you are not doing yourself any favors with the new location and the new concept. I'm a big fan of Neugasse (among other things, it has the best burger far and wide... who invented this great beetroot burger?) and your little French fries shop. Yesterday we were in Schlossgasse for the first time. Unfortunately, not only the prices but also the offer were not successful in my opinion. I had a trio of sausage and mashed potato salad. The salad was basically not dressed, the mash was just OK and the sausage... oh... everything in small portions at - in my opinion - unnecessarily high prices. For example, why didn't you set a fixed price (in the range of 12 euros) for this trio? On top of that, we had to wait quite a long time despite the moderate number of visitors. The staff was nice though. But... oh FritzMitte... in the future, after this experience, I will only go to Neugasse, eat your damn good beetroot burger with fries and the brutally delicious ice cream dessert. Sorry

Damn good shop, highly recommended. Also has a vegan alternative

Fritz Mitte is definitely my new favorite spot when it comes to delicious fries and exceptional snacks. The selection of sauces is simply huge, and each one is a taste experience in itself. No matter whether classic or unusual – there is something here for every taste! The fries are crispy, perfectly seasoned and always freshly made. I think it's particularly good that attention is paid to high-quality ingredients and sustainable packaging. The service is super friendly, the team works quickly and ensures that you never have to wait long, even when it's full. The portions are generous and the price-performance ratio is absolutely great. If you're out and about in the city and want fresh, delicious street food, you should definitely try Fritz Mitte. I'll definitely be back!

We love Fritz Mitte in the Schlossgasse! The service is exceptional, as is the quality of the dishes and drinks and all at fair prices, regional and visually creative! We keep coming back and are more than satisfied every time!

So the food is great! There's nothing to complain about. The portions are also enough to fill you up. The quality is right. The service is very good. BUT! Charging €4.50 for a 0.33ml beer and not having any large beer on offer is very, very questionable. I don't even want draft. But that expensive? €4.50 for a small light is expensive, but it really doesn't have to be. If I drink 3 small ones I could buy a whole case for that price. Especially not when there is a festival in the old town and you can get half a liter of the best Burschenpils for €4, just a 3-minute walk away. Ergo, the food was great, but the beer was completely wrong.

Excellent service, food 10/10- are so happy, we'll be back!

Super nice restaurant, absolutely recommended!

Beautiful breakfast, both tasteful and visually at its finest

It's been a few days since our girls' night out. But I would really like to share our always very positive experiences. We were in Schlossgasse on August 19th and had such an attentive and nice waitress - it was just a dream! Big compliments to the nice blonde young woman who even asked us shortly before she went on break whether we had any further requests. The food and drinks were delicious and very nicely presented. We would love to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening

Extremely friendly staff & delicious and freshly fried burgers. Clear recommendation!

Super nice team, delicious food and an overall pleasant atmosphere. We would love to come back.

Karim is the best! It was nice with you. We'll be back. 🙂

Great service and really good advice. At first I didn't know exactly what I wanted to eat and the saleswoman at the window gave me very, very good advice.

Always my pleasure. Very nice service person at the window!

Very tasty food, humorous service with sales talent ;-)

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.

Sensational pork fillet and great summer salad with very nice and competent service.

The flank steak was an absolute culinary highlight! Plus delicious fresh garlic bread and mushrooms. Super nice service and a nice ambience on top of that. Simply perfect!

Very friendly team, clean, quick preparation, food tastes very tasty, anyone who wants to eat something special is always welcome there, we will definitely come back and had a lot of fun

Super chic air-conditioned shop. Very tasty food. Meat on point as requested and extras are also served.

Wow, what a discovery! Great, exciting menu, the breakfast was loving, great quality, great taste. Please open your branch in Überlingen on Lake Constance 😉

Here you get an exclusive, detailed, tasty, culinary breakfast, prepared with love. In addition, the staff is incredibly nice and friendly.

Went for brunch with family and we all enjoyed it. Standard as well as vegan etagerie were great and filled us all up. One star minus because the service was rather slow probably due to understaffing.

Best fries in town! 😉 If you are nearby, you should take a detour there. It's worth it.

The food was absolutely great, as always. My companion, who always pays attention to service, was blown away by the attention of the serving staff. The atmosphere is rustic and absolutely cozy. We sat in the upper area and really settled down in the armchairs. Wonderful ! Stay that way and see you next time!

Food average - fried food at "special prices" Staff friendly Price/performance for what is offered “sporty” Not a recommendation - but if you like "hip and modern" - go there...

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

I'm feeling sick right now and I'm upset about the food. Pre-fried fries that just tasted old and half of them were inedible because they were so hard that I was worried about my teeth. Despite the “tomato sauce”, the ring currywurst just tasted like old oil. The prices are wild and incomprehensible. If you know the original store and what it used to be like and what it should actually taste like, you feel pretty fooled! It no longer has anything to do with what Fritz Mitte once was.

Everything tastes excellent…TOP quality! Very good service! Happy to come back!

We've been here for breakfast, lunch and dinner and no matter what we ordered, it tastes delicious. The eye definitely eats here. The service is also great. Everyone is very nice and takes very good care of the guests. The location reminds me of a beautiful old building living room (in the summer it even has air conditioning, which is very pleasant). See you soon :)

I love this place! As soon as I walked in I noticed they use Sonos speakers which is so cool! Very seldom I paid attention to this kind of things in a restaurant but you can see there are a lot of fine details in every corner. The food was spectacular. You have to wait a bit for them but it’s all worth it. I never thought such fine places existed in Jena. I hope to visit again!

Relaxed, Confortable vibe. Friendly waitress. Amazing Food with a special touch.

I love it there. No matter whether it's for a date in the evening, breakfast/lunch with the ladies or just on your own, you will always be warmly welcomed, the staff is always friendly and the vegan dishes (Beyond Burger - a dream!) are incredibly tasty. Even when the house is full, the waiting times are always absolutely reasonable. One of my absolute favorite places to eat in Jena as a vegan.

A wonderful breakfast and super nice service.

Had breakfast here again. The breakfast is delicious and the price-performance ratio is perfect. Everything is fresh and simply very good. The staff is always friendly and on the ball. Always happy to come back.

Nice ambience, friendly service, but the price-performance ratio isn't right. Too high a price for waffles and chicken for too little quantity. Doesn't feel good. You think about it.

very, very nice service, sorry I don't know the waiter's name, but we were pleasantly surprised that at the very end of the working day, he greeted us with a big smile and pleasant communication. we don't eat anything, but we saw that other people's portions are big, the prices are really good.

Super delicious food served by super nice service! Was there with my partner and we will definitely come back. Thank you for the unforgettable evening! kiss

**Google Review:** ★★★☆☆ I had dinner with my friend at the Fritz Mitte Restaurant on Saturday. I have known the snack bar and the deli for a long time and really like both the appearance and the offerings of both. I was very excited about the restaurant and I have to say that it was difficult for me to give a rating and I fluctuated between three and four stars - unfortunately there is no 3.5 stars. So why three stars? First of all, I was very impressed by the atmosphere! The restaurant is wonderfully individual, tastefully and attractively furnished, from the napkins to the open kitchen. I found the menu very exciting and the service was great! Our waiter looked after us in a very approachable and friendly but at the same time professional way, which suited the ambience, the appearance and also the prices. Until the drinks we were at five out of five stars. However, the restaurant lost it for us when it came to food. I had the Caesar chicken salad with fried chicken breast balls, the size and presentation of which simply didn't match the price. I definitely expected more! My partner had a fillet steak which comes with no side dishes. All side dishes must be ordered separately. Among other things, he chose a side salad and it came in such an incredibly small bowl that I couldn't believe they were serious. The filet was great! But the surroundings simply didn't bring much joy and unfortunately damaged the overall experience. Service and good quality should have their price, but it should also be enjoyable and satisfying. If you start to eat your fill of bread - which of course you also pay extra for - then I think there is something wrong with the portion sizes and unfortunately that takes away the joy. If I could, I would like to see a change there, because basically it's a really nice restaurant.

Friendly, relaxed and courteous service with delicious food.

Kudos to your staff and your kitchen! Such friendly staff and your breakfast selection it's really awesome! Thanks

Food top, service top, ambience top. nice and interesting restaurant

A very nice restaurant, the Burgers, Chips and especially the Mayonnaise-based sauces are great!

The food is incredibly good and so is the service. I have rarely visited such a great restaurant :).

Good, creatively designed food, friendly service and an appealing ambience.

Totally cool location Delicious food and totally friendly staff!

Everything is fine, you should try the wild burger.

nice atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food. gladly again

This is the best food we’ve had in our trip to Europe. The presentation was amazing!! The dishes are beautiful and delicious! Every bite was yummy! The food was fresh, homemade, colorful and very tasteful. The place is beautifully decorated and the service we received was very warm and welcoming, she helped us with the menu in English and with recommendations. It was the best experience!! Thank you for being nice and sweet :)

Breakfast took a while, but was delicious. Service very friendly. Furnishings great mix of old and new.

The restaurant offers excellent food and great service. Karim is a first class bartender - friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. His recommendations are always on point and he works quickly and efficiently, even when the bar is full. Highly recommended!

Delicious food, super nice staff, great ambience!

Cozy atmosphere with super friendly and nice staff who are happy to give competent advice on your selection. The food is not only absolutely delicious, but also beautifully prepared. There is also a wide selection of vegetarian dishes. Overall, highly recommended

Great decor, super friendly service and everything tasted great

What a breakfast experience! EI Benedict was fantastic again, but our service was awesome! So much fun eating! Thank you very much

We had breakfast today and spent a relaxing morning in a great atmosphere and a delicious brunch. The Egg Benedict in different variations is highly recommended.

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.

Delicious food, but the 1.5 hour waiting time is unacceptable

We are already looking forward to the next time…. Everything great, including sound 🤩

Great ambience, original drinks, classic Feitz mitt fries, unfortunately a bit expensive for a quick snack, but that's why there is street sales in/at the restaurant.

The waiting time for our food was over 1:30 hours. After telling the service that we had probably been forgotten and that we actually had to move on, they were urged to wait because the food was currently being prepared. Apart from the waiting time, expectations were correspondingly high due to the prices. The “Burrata Melon” was then brought. This only consisted of two small slices of warm watermelon and a burrata on top dressed with a bit of balsamic vinegar for €16. The pricing of this dish should be questioned. Unfortunately, the dressing was completely missing from the Caesar salad I ordered. Only the currywurst was, as expected, tasty and also reasonably priced. We weren't the only ones when it came to the wait. The guests next to us also waited a long time for their food. Unfortunately the delay was not communicated by service. All in all, it was a gastronomic experience that still needs significant improvements, especially in this price range.

Great atmosphere, we sat upstairs with a view of the kitchen. Great food and the service was great as always.

Everything was absolutely delicious and very friendly! EVERYONE happy. Gladly again :)

Best fine food brunch in an outstanding location! ❤️ it!

Don't go for the cheapest dish, it's worth it! The kitchen can do much more than fries ;)

Charming restaurant, perfect for visiting with friends or family. Excellent cuisine and friendly service. We'll be back!

Very good.very clean. Friendly team. Eat well without breaking the bank

Very tasty food and very friendly staff. We went out to eat in Jena for the first time based on a recommendation and our expectations were far exceeded by both the food and the very friendly staff. The prices are also more than reasonable for the quality.

Asking me for a tip on the pin payment when I'm getting a take away. What the hell? Are we in America?

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!
