I went to the restaurant because of the review. OK, the food is good but I don't think it's good to wait over an hour for my food. I find it particularly sad that there isn't even an apology. Sorry, we're sorry would have been enough for me. You can argue about the ambience, it's too much stuff for me. Sorry good food but......

On the recommendation of a good friend, he and another friend went there for a “men’s evening”. Heard a lot of positive things. Upon entering, I had a "deco flash" - someone had gone wild! :-) The place was very tight for a taller person! Luckily we reserved seats, but we were able to move us because I was sitting in the way. Very friendly, courteous staff, drinks very quickly! Food took a while. 2x schnitzel with fries, 1x three little pigs. Very tasty, but with a price of over 14 euros for a schnitzel, the portions could have been a little larger, or at least a handful more fries. In addition to the bill there were 2 chocolate sweets for everyone. I probably won't go there again as it doesn't have a unique selling point (for me, as a bigger man with the corresponding hunger).

We just had dinner with 7 people at the Eisernes Kreuz inn. From the greeting to the farewell, everything was just right. The food and service were as good as you can rarely enjoy today. Big praise at this point. The prices are more than fair. All 7 people were thrilled. The only drawback, but again fair for the quality of the food, was the slightly longer waiting time. But you're happy to accept that.

S U P E R! Very good food, freshly prepared and also: enough. Very reasonable prices for delicious food. We had the spare ribs and the pork schnitzel with cognac sauce, with salads and fries. Each with a giant glass with half a liter of beer and half a liter of Coca Cola. Together for less than € 39.00.... and you can pay with Pay Pal, but not with a bank card! This is how they pay attention to the little ones. But it paid off, the place was almost full. It wasn't even 6pm yet! A really nice local place with some people from the neighborhood having fun eating and drinking. That's always a good sign!

Because of the many positive reviews, we went to the “Iron Cross” in Kempten-Durach on Sunday evening. And what should I say? Simply great, can't be topped. The portions are really big, a taste you can eat and the price is really reasonable, very low for the large portions. And very important: the service staff are super nice, always up for a joke and respond to every customer request straight away. All in all, definitely recommended.

Wir waren auf dem Weg von Österreich zurück nach Hause. (RLP) Da wir noch nichts gegessen hatten, und noch 3 Stunden Fahrtweg vor uns hatten sind wir in Kempten abgefahren und haben mit Hilfe der Googlesuche dieses schnuckelige Gasthaus gefunden. Wir haben uns auf eigene Faust einen Tisch gesucht und uns aus Versehen an den "Stammtisch" gesetzt. Wir wurden daraufhin freundlich gefragt ob wir uns an einen anderen Tisch setzen würden und wurden an unserem neuen Tisch direkt bedient. Als Vorspeise gab's für uns Eine Maultaschen- und eine Leberwurstspätzlesuppe..Das war auf jeden Fall schon mal ein sehr guter Einstieg! Als Hauptgang haben wir ein Rahmschnitzel vom Schweinerücken mit einer Champignon-Cognac-Soße mit Spätzle und Salat bestellt. Das Essen war frisch, das Fleisch sehr saftig und alles in allem super lecker ! Am meisten geschwärmt haben wir aber von der ultra leckeren Soße 😋 Lieben Gruß an den Koch, das war wirklich lecker ! Sollten wir nochmal ins Allgäu kommen haben wir euch auf jeden Fall im Hinterkopf 😊

Naja, als Zecke stossen mich "eisernes Kreuz" und "stolz" an der Fassade ehrlich gesagt erstmal ab. Aber Vorurteile über Bord geworfen einfach rein in den Biergarten. Genauso habe ich mir als Touri Bayern vorgestellt. Extrem authentisch gibts bayerische Küche vom Spezialisten. Man setzt sich dazu wo Platz ist und kommt auch leicht ins Gespräch, was in Bayern absolut üblich ist. Auch wenn hier eher Stammgäste zu verkehren scheinen, aber genau das macht es ja authentisch. Warmherzige Bedienung rundet das Erlebnis ab. Man kam als Fremder und ging als Freund. Jederzeit wieder und sorry für die anfänglichen Bedenken!

The service wasn't particularly friendly, unfortunately the coleslaw we ordered never arrived. The burgers were cold, as were the fries. The fries tasted old and the sweet potato fries were soggy. Overall it wasn't worth it and I'm disappointed. The prices weren't justified either and paying extra for cheese, etc. was a waste.
