Gasthaus Watzmann in Berchtesgaden

A very decent goulash – a large portion, tasty, hot, and tender. The service was friendly and quick, thank you.

We went there for dinner on Sunday evening. The service was quick and attentive, 3 stars! The food, unfortunately, doesn't get above 1 star. We both ordered Cordon Bleu with fried potatoes. Garnished with a thin strip of peeled carrot. We've rarely received such a lackluster plate. We wonder how some people can consider something like that classy... The Cordon Bleu tasted like fried convenience food, the fried potatoes were okay. All in all, the exorbitant prices (like the whole place) aren't worth it. You can tell you're in a tourist hotspot. Much profit for little effort.

It's a quaint and authentic Bavarian inn. The staff are very friendly, and the food is delicious. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food, friendly and fast service. We ate there twice and were very satisfied both times. Quaint and friendly, highly recommended. Dogs are welcome.

We only ate dinner there one evening. We were served very quickly, and the staff was friendly. It's small and cozy. The prices are a bit high for a regular schnitzel. Without a reservation, there might not be enough space, so book in advance.

Incredibly nice people at the service, I had a dog with me and was greeted with joy and care for my four-legged friend. And the food was delicious…..💝💝💝

One star is far too many for this restaurant. The beer garden is beautifully designed, but that's about it... At around 7:30 p.m., it wasn't busy; I estimated 25-30% of the tables were occupied, so it wasn't a stressful situation. Nevertheless, we were left sitting for ages without any attention - but they had already seen us when we arrived. The waiters were leisurely clearing the tables and chatting away. After well over half an hour, my husband went up to a waitress and told her we'd like to order. Only after the second request was our drink order finally taken. We already knew what we wanted because we'd read the menu at the entrance, but someone else was supposed to take our food order. We waited forever again for the drinks, which were then brought by the manager, who also took our order. No apology, nothing... She just said there were only two of them, and then it just took longer :( The food arrived relatively quickly, placed on the table without comment by another waitress. I had to call after her because she only brought one regular and one small roast pork without cabbage. We had ordered two regular-sized roasts with salad instead of cabbage. She then said grumpily, "Salad is coming!" She didn't react at all to the one incorrect portion size (child's portion). The salad finally arrived when we were almost finished eating. And now for the meal itself: The dumplings were only lukewarm, the meat was okay, the sauce was simply awful (a thin, brownish salty broth), and the salad tasted of nothing but vinegar. The hostess asked me while clearing the table and taking the money, whether I'd enjoyed it, but didn't respond at all to my "Meh" comment. But I really didn't have any on vacation. Feeling like having a long discussion, I didn't say anything else, we paid, and that was it. Normally, I would have complained about the quality and the poor service......... CONCLUSION: Normally, we would have left the restaurant simply because of the long wait. But unfortunately, there were no seats available at any of the other restaurants, so we stayed. We had been hiking all day and were very hungry. We really had no choice but to stay. NEVER AGAIN!!! - NO RECOMMENDATION!!! Simply BAD in every respect!!!

Upon our arrival to town in the afternoon this was our first stop for beers in the afternoon. We sat outside and soaked up the atmosphere and the staff was really nice. That night we decided to go back for dinner and it was OUTSTANDING! The best meal I had in our 4 days in Bavaria. Pork medallions were incredible! Definitely give this restaurant a try you won't be disappointed.

Typical Bavarian brasserie restaurant. Excellent welcome, very dog-friendly, water bowl and treats. I had a very good dinner of Bavarian dishes. Perfect service with a smile.

Great food, friendly staff, typical Bavarian atmosphere.

Dumplings with chanterelles: a few chanterelles in tomato sauce, and a bit mushy. On the other hand, spinach dumplings with Parmesan and fries were very tasty. Service was attentive, the ambiance was rustic and a bit dated.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Just a little FYI, the staff's dog runs around freely, but it's sweet.

A truly authentic, traditional Bavarian restaurant, away from the tourist traps in the pedestrian zone. Delicious food and tasty beer. I'd love to come back next time.

We came here for dinner while on vacation. We were looking forward to authentic Bavarian food. It was a bit disappointing; the goulash was more like goulash soup, with a dumpling in the middle. The salad was very fresh and delicious. The service was super friendly.

One of the best restaurant in Berchtesgaden! Excellent food, service, and atmosphere – absolutely nothing to complain about.

Staff was friendly. The food wasn't worth the money. I had a mixed salad with turkey. Unfortunately, there was nothing mixed in it. Just iceberg lettuce and three pieces of bell pepper. A real shame.

The food is delicious and arrived quickly after ordering. The service is very attentive and friendly.

Great service, good price-performance ratio

I really enjoyed this restaurant! The food is incredibly delicious, and everything is served beautifully and stylishly. The service is fast and of the highest quality, and the staff is friendly and attentive to every guest. The atmosphere is cozy, and the location is very convenient. A perfect combination of quality, service, and convenience – highly recommended!

Super tasty and very friendly. The beer and food are highly recommended for their prices. We'll be back.

We ate here and highly recommend it. Friendly staff and excellent food.

We ate there today. It was super delicious. The service was super friendly. I highly recommend it.

Highly recommended! The food is incredibly delicious. The service is very friendly and attentive. Although the inn is located on a road, the lovingly designed outdoor area still offers a cozy atmosphere with (depending on where you sit) a view of the mountains.

Great service, great food. Pictured is Wiener Schnitzel and a small pork rib.

Kaiserschmarrn was somehow "a la ready-mixed", the cordon bleu was also dripping with fat, cleanliness at the table was catastrophic...... I can unfortunately not recommend it

Went there for dinner. Good selection of German dishes.

Very nice ambiance, very friendly staff, and really great food! I really enjoyed my stay here.

Great place. Delicious food. Pet-friendly. Very nice landlady. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed today. I ordered a shandy and a blackcurrant spritzer, which arrived quickly and was delicious. After a 45-minute wait, we moved on to dessert... there were maybe 10 people sitting in the restaurant... so it was pretty empty. Poppy seed and curd dumplings with plum compote (sadly, a total failure... the plum compote was thin as water, plus the plum stones were thick). The apple strudel was warm and OK. But it wasn't a star either. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. The service was friendly and pleasant.

We went there for lunch today and were greeted warmly, as was our dog. They even brought a water bowl and treats for our dog. The waitresses were very attentive and kind. The food (onion roast beef and cordon bleu) was freshly prepared and delicious. The portion sizes were generous. The fried potatoes served with it were also good. It was our first time eating there and we will definitely return on our next trip to Berchtesgaden.

Always here because of my large portion of Kaiserschmarren 🤣

Huge portions, fair prices, and super friendly service. I'd gladly go back, and in my opinion, the price/performance ratio is far superior to the other "big stores" next door.

Beef goulash was delicious, but there was very little meat in the portion, rustic ambience, extremely friendly staff

We ate delicious cheese spaetzle and drank good beer here. The service could be better, but overall we were satisfied.

Good Bavarian cuisine at a fair price. The view from outside is also very nice.

One of the worst experiences. My roast beef with onions smelled sour, and after the first bite, I had to spit it out because the meat was spoiled. We were looking forward to our lunch. Since we had picked it up, I called to let the restaurant know. What happened next is almost beyond words. The landlady (I assume) came at me like greased lightning to berate me, saying that if I didn't like it, I couldn't try it, and that I only knew Knorr. In fact, I've never used Knorr once in my life. I wasn't offered an alternative dish; she already had the exact money in her hand and told me we should never eat or order from her again. Without a doubt, we would never have considered it. Completely unprofessional, unfriendly, a terrible experience. I can only advise against visiting this restaurant.

A great restaurant with very friendly staff. The food arrived quickly and was truly delicious. What was especially nice was that my dog ​​was also warmly welcomed and given water and a treat. I'm completely satisfied and will definitely be back!

Very tasty food. Beautiful beer garden. Friendly, attentive service. Absolutely dog-friendly.

Authentic Bavarian food Long wait for food

This is a very good place to eat with great food for dinner. (Something for everyone) Very friendly staff and nice lay out. They had very lovely dogs,

We're only stranded for dinner today. The seating is comfortable, the service unprofessional, but very friendly. The food wasn't restaurant quality; the side dishes were sparse, the presentation mediocre, the fried potatoes were lukewarm, and the meat mediocre. Would have been okay for half the price. Why am I writing this review? I'll be back sometime, and I want to experience a culinary blast. You certainly can.

...ate here several times, gladly again

We happened upon a meal there by chance. The waitresses and owner were very friendly to our children and our dog. The food was also very good and, considering the downtown location, fairly priced.

You can eat well here, nice and friendly service, very tasty food, cozy outdoor dining area.

The inn is okay but the boss is very unfriendly to children.

Super friendly service, the food was good and plentiful

Very friendly service and hostess. Good prices, and table 108 is highly recommended.

(we were only there to eat) The staff, food and atmosphere were perfect, we would love to come back on our next holiday. Very very very good value for money :)

Super bad food, super poor quality, service not interested in the guests. Price corresponding to upscale gastronomy, dogs to pet on site.

Cozy inn. Delicious food in a feel-good atmosphere. We stopped here after a hike. Three very nice and courteous ladies worked in the restaurant. In particular, the boss probably entertained the guests with funny anecdotes and a great manner. The food came quickly and tasted excellent. We'd love to come back.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. I ordered a cream of potato soup—at least, that's what they called it. The soup, however, was anything but creamy; it was completely tasteless and watery. When I told the waitress this, there was virtually no response. She simply asked if I hadn't finished the soup because the portion was too large. I explained that I didn't like it at all and that it was unfortunately very tasteless. Again, there was no response. For my main course, I had the Cordon Bleu with fries. It wasn't anything special, but it was okay. However, the waitress was often long gone, so we were often left with empty glasses. We also wanted dessert, but after a long wait, we lost interest and paid instead—also after a long wait. To top it all off, I still had to pay for the soup. They could have at least offered an alternative or made a concession to the customer. In my opinion, not a recommendation and nothing special.

Food was super good! The service staff even made an extra request possible. We'd love to come back.

Cheap food but poorly heated. We had to put on jackets after 30 minutes. Few customers.

I don't know if I've ever been served so friendly. It wasn't the last time we were there. I was there again today and wasn't disappointed. See you next time.

GrillTeller- meat was ok, portion also was ok but price is very high for this quality

Well, we were there for lunch in September when the weather was great. It was during the week and not much going on. The waitress was friendly, but it took a long time. My cheese spaetzle tasted of nothing and was very mushy. With a lot of salt they were OK, but nothing more. We expected more here

Very nice inn, the service was super nice, attentive and quick. We didn't have to wait long for the food either. Very large portions (we had onion roast and Jägerschnitzel) and very tasty, absolutely fair prices. We'd love to come back!

A warm welcome. Typically Bavarian ambience. The service was very attentive and it was tasty too. We'll definitely be back!

We had dinner here 2 times in a row. Dog friendly restaurant. They brought food, water and matras formour dog. The restaurant was open during the Christmas night. We had a lovely Christmas over here with our friends enjoying the delicious food and warm hospitality of the staff.

Fantastic service, perfect food

Super nice people Food very good and a cozy room

Great food and good service with a smile

Das Essen war überhaupt geschmacklos, das Fleisch war hart. Das Essen für 2personen mit 2getränke kostete 72 Euro. Außerdem war es kalt im Gastzimmer lassen , man musste die Winterjacke beim Mittagessen angezogen

Very tasty food, friendly service

Beautiful inn with rustic Bavarian furnishings. The service was friendly and attentive. There are parking spaces in front of the inn and the location is completely okay. Not every restaurant can be in the countryside. The food wasn't all that great. Selling turkey steak hard and dry to death and a vegetable pan with a few cubes of meatloaf as "Bavarian Pfand'l" takes some imagination.

It's centrally located, but you don't have a nice view or hear the street. We didn't like the food at all. The sauce from the goulash was very thick and tasteless, I was looking for the meat. The gravy for the dumpling wasn't gravy, it didn't taste like meat and was very transparent. We're not gourmets, but the three of us didn't like it.

I was last evening here, unfortunatelly i was dissapointed, they are understaffed and you have to wait too long to order something, or after to get even your drinks. My meal was ok, but the dessert(Kaiserschmarn) was nothing, too thick, undercooked, by sides was burned, wasn't fluffy...i am sorry, but first and last time...

..long waiting time for service

There was no Kaiserschmarrn due to the large number of guests. On the grill plate, the vegetables were only lukewarm, the herb butter was frozen and for €30 I would have expected a lot more meat. Otherwise it was fine if we had gotten drinks later.

Very rustic restaurant with typical Bavarian flair. The food was very good and plentiful, The service was very friendly and quick. Price-performance ratio fits.

Were there for dinner! Service was very friendly and attentive! Had a Cordon Bleu! The portion was very generous and it tasted very good! Ambience is Ur Bavarian which is great! Gladly again!

Went there for dinner today, the steak was on point. Service attentive and friendly. Can confidently recommend.

We found it very comfortable there again today and we really enjoyed the food again. The staff is consistently friendly and we felt very comfortable again.

Bad service, not attentive. When we asked if it was tasty and we said no, there was no response regarding feedback; on the contrary, they wanted to pack the food for us. All the dishes didn't really taste good. Pork medallion over fried, cheese spaetzle tasteless. Kaiserschmarren was dry and had way too much rum flavor in it. Not edible! Just way too expensive for the price. It's a shame, the restaurant is well located and the inside is as rustic as you would imagine. But not recommended due to the food.

Sehr schlechter Service. Das Essen hat keinem geschmeckt. Das Fleisch trocken Das Gemüse fad und alt.Der Nachtisch sehr geschmacksintensiv total besch..... Total überteuert. Die Bedienung stand mehr beim Koch als im Speisesaal. Garnicht zum empfehlen..... werden da nimmer essen gehen.

Wir waren heute dort und fanden es wieder sehr gemütlich dort. Das Personal ist durchweg freundlich und das Essen war wieder sehr lecker. Wir können uns nicht beklagen und kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank.

Rustic, cozy Bavarian inn above the center of Berchtesgaden Wood paneling radiates a pleasant atmosphere. Maybe a little too many hunting trophies and decorations. The menu is extensive and down-to-earth, and the prices are quite high. The beer comes from Hofbräu Berchtesgaden and is therefore excellent. Conclusion: Bavarian-cozy, price level too high (perhaps too aimed at tourists)

Extremely friendly service and very good food.

We said goodbye yesterday The Watzmann Wirtshaus received quite positive reviews. None of our dishes blew us away. The medallions were dry, the cheese spaetzle was tasteless. The grill plate and the delicacies plates weren't convincing either. The service was not attentive. Even when the food was delivered and the glasses were empty, there was no question as to whether we wanted new drinks. One of the waitresses constantly wore her cell phone around her neck - that seemed really unprofessional. We give it a benevolent 3 stars and would like to check on our next visit to see if anything has changed 😊

We stopped in for lunch and ordered our beloved onion roast. Unfortunately very tough and somewhat carelessly prepared. We were quite disappointed and it was too expensive.

The service and food was amazing! We will be back.

Ordered the Bayrisches Pfandl (roasted pork, meatloaf, smoked pork mixed with roasted potatoes, vegetables and fried egg). It tasted great and suitable for 1 person. I somehow misunderstood the dish and thought it had gravy but it was like a pan fry dish. Nonetheless the taste is good. Wanted to try the apple strudel but it was unavailable.

On the positive side, it should be mentioned that the beer was refreshing and tasty and the service tried hard. What I found less positive was that I got a different dish than what I ordered, which was also rather semi-tasty and they wanted to charge for the extra price first. Not worth repeating for me!

Good place to stop to eat!!! Reasonable prices and large place!! Good place in the area!! Typical German dishes!!

We ate there and it was very good

If I want to go out to eat in Bavaria/Berchtesgaden... I expect a traditional, quaint, cozy inn with super good food where you can tell when you eat it that it was prepared with love and a lot of experience! You can also expect sociable waiters with wit and the typically wonderful Bavarian hospitality! You get all of that 100% in this inn! We were on vacation and looked for a place to have lunch and went to the Watzmann if we were lucky! Our 1 year old daughter immediately got a children's chair (even the rustic one made of wood, as it should be) and also her own plate without having to ask for it! The waitress was very helpful and exactly what you would imagine! Hospitable! The food was simply great, so we went to the same restaurant again on the second day of our vacation and weren't disappointed that day either! There are two dogs running around but they are not a nuisance! The hosts also take care of animal welfare, which means an additional point! If there were still rooms in this inn, we would already know where the quarter in Berchtesgaden would be next year! Everything was top notch, the food was a dream and the price was not exorbitant for a tourist area! Please keep it up and stay as you are! We'll definitely be back, we still have to try the pork knuckle! greetings from Austria

We went to the beer garden for dinner. It tasted excellent and the service was great.

Always nice to be able to stop by there!

We are on vacation in Bavarian Main and wanted to have dinner there after a trip. The order for drinks was only taken after we were alerted. The food came COLD after OVER AN HOUR! There was no response when this was addressed. My partner's portion for the money was meager. Waitresses overwhelmed. Unfortunately, we weren't the only ones who were angry. Hence the first and last visit. Location rather stupid for parking due to construction site. Please plan time there!

Very tasty food, large portions. Friendly staff, location right at the bus station

Didn't sleep but ate in the evening. Was fine.

The best place for Schnitzel, beer and a LARGE glas of cold milk! Geschätzt!!! I will come by next week. //Jens, Schweden

Good food at reasonable prices in a rustic atmosphere

Went here for tea. It is situated just up the road from the Tourist Information Office, on the opposite side of the road. If you are lucky on an evening you can find a car parking space opposite. There was plenty of space and we sat in the corner near a couple with a young baby. The baby cried all the time we were there, because he was tired, but his dad worked really hard to soothe him. We weren't bothered even though dad was very apologetic. Babies should be heard, even when they cry. We had some tea and my wife opted for what was something like a liver dumpling for starters. The food was lovely although the liver resembled something of a dump in a salad bowl. I nearly made the mistake of ordering two main meals instead of a starter and mains. The young waitress was lovely and she nearly knocked our drinks over twice. She was very apologetic though. We paid just over 50 Euro's for the food and had no complaints

Just wow ! Were there today, the food was a 5/5, everything was fresh, zero convenience and absolutely to the point. Total waiting time for fresh food. The service (young lady with a great long braid) was super warm, in a good mood and close to the guest. The ambience is exactly as you would expect from an inn, with a lot of love and a thousand details, and the price is more than just. The Kaiserschnarrn was the highlight!

Nice restaurant with home cooking. Rustic inside, with a beer garden.

The food is very neutral in taste. Service is nice and it went quickly.

Friendly service. Delicious food.

For me the portion was more than enough. very friendly staff

The service and staff were great however would not recommend this restaurant to people who enjoy quality Bavarian food.
