Gasthaus zum Riesen in Miltenberg

I ate sliced ​​meat with spaetzle. It was good. Price is right. Friendly service.

Six of us recently stayed at this inn and unfortunately we have to say that we were very disappointed. The food wasn't served hot, which left a bad impression. The liver in particular was tough, with a thick layer of fat and was hardly edible. Unfortunately, when I made my complaint, I was not taken seriously. The reaction of the staff was not very insightful and even a bit cheeky. Nevertheless, my food was prepared again and although it was better, it was still not enjoyable. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant. It feels more like a tourist trap where the quality of the food and service are not up to par. It's a shame, because I had hoped for more from the oldest inn in Germany.

Very good and nice service 👍 Really a great inn definitely worth recommending. Everyone will find what they are looking for on the menu and the price is right too 😉

Top restaurant and down-to-earth food. Delicious beer selection

Giant restaurant The food was good last night. However, the part of the menu where salads are offered was a bit confusing, so unfortunately the customer doesn't know at first glance how much the salad costs. Please dear owner please edit this part of the Menu with the salad offer again so that the customer can see at first glance what the salad costs.

A Bavarian gem with small weaknesses The Gasthaus zum Riesen in Miltenberg is a place where you can experience Bavarian hospitality and tradition up close. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy, and you immediately feel at home. Particularly noteworthy is the large selection of beers, which will delight every beer lover. In terms of cuisine, we were treated to a crispy and juicy knuckle that was perfectly prepared. The chocolate tart was also a real treat and a crowning conclusion to the meal. A small downer was the long wait for our food. There is still room for improvement here to optimize the service. Despite the waiting time, we can warmly recommend the Gasthaus zum Riesen because of the excellent food, the great beer selection and the unique atmosphere. It is an ideal place to spend a convivial evening with friends or family.

Unfortunately we got a cold steak. For the price of €28 you should expect a salad and no cold meat would be served. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio is not right.

We were just there for dinner. It wasn't very busy, but we still waited over an hour for our food. It's not really hot either. You'll be tearing your arm off for drinks until someone comes along.

We ate very well, prices were really reasonable. Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow; we waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drink order, even though there was almost nothing going on. Still absolutely recommended. Inn with tradition and history.

Very disappointing, on a Tuesday, for lunch. It was cold, I let it go back and got it back cold. The service is friendly. Not normal.

This was our second time here, as the food was excellent the first time. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed this time. The large salad with turkey strips was very simple, with lettuce leaves, a bit of cabbage, carrot, and two slices of beetroot. The dressing was very tasty. The dish from the daily special was good; the meat was juicy and had plenty of sauce. The apple fritters at the end were unfortunately cold. Nevertheless, we would like to give the restaurant another chance, because, as I said, everything from appetizer to dessert was exceptionally good on our first visit.

Great food and service. Reservation is essential. All the dishes were excellent but the burgers with their local sauce were the tastiest. Faust, where he owns the house, produces a beer specially for the restaurant, which is super! Initially our reservation was in this "cave" and even though the shop was full they changed our seat with a smile to make us more comfortable. Definitely worth going. I have no opinion about the rooms.

Always delicious home-cooked food, most recently bread dumplings in mushroom cream with fresh salad! We love coming here!

The food was fantastic, the drinks came quickly and the service was very friendly.

Stopped there twice on a business trip, had a very tasty meal, schnitzel with fried egg and fried potatoes, very tasty beers from Faust. The waiter forgot to take our food the first time, but then his colleague did. I can't rate the room but it was nice in the oldest inn in Germany.

A quaint and delicious inn that's a perfect stop on a scenic motorcycle tour. Delicious food, good beer to try, and a very beautiful setting. I'd love to come back.

The drinks and food are undoubtedly excellent! But what's much more important about this inn is the history behind it... it's one of the oldest inns in Germany. Elvis Presley and other famous people have been guests there.

Very good food. Great beer. The building is very historic.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and a good selection of draft beers.

Review refers to the restaurant

According to the information board, we only went here for food, which is the oldest inn in Germany. Rustic furnishings. Lots of locals. Service quick and friendly. Fair price/performance ratio. Delicious food.

Oldest inn in Germany, with good home cooking, friendly staff and delicious food.

Nice atmosphere but I've eaten much better there.

We stopped there for lunch, we should have saved ourselves that, food is not recommended, why don't I want to write here because the recession will probably be deleted immediately...

The Gasthaus Zum Riesen in Miltenberg is definitely worth a visit. Reservations are particularly recommended for groups of four or more people, as the inn is often well attended due to its popularity. A special highlight is the large selection of beers from the Faust brewery - everyone can find the right beer here. The drinks are always freshly tapped and are a pleasure. The food is generally of good quality. The dishes are served quickly, which is a positive surprise considering the crowds. The service is friendly, attentive and remains professional even when it's busy. The ambience of the inn is another plus point: the mix of historical and modern construction gives the place a special charm. However, in the evening when the dining room is full, it can get a little louder due to the acoustics. In summer there is also an outdoor area available to guests. Conclusion: The Gasthaus Zum Riesen scores with good food, a great beer selection, friendly service and a special ambience. For a cozy evening or a meeting with friends.

very sociable, great quality, delicious food

I can only judge the food as we only ate there... excellent! Even the sauces are homemade and not convenience, as is often the case. Nice, attentive staff. However, it is very loud there because it is very crowded. But it's also justified - it's a super cozy location with excellent food! Ideally reserve a table on the weekend!

Table reservation is absolutely necessary. There's something on the menu for everyone here. Our giant pan with loin and spaetzle and champions was very tasty. Price-performance is ok. Despite the large number of guests, the friendly staff always had a good overview. Highly recommended, we will definitely come back.

A little more history would have been good for the restaurant...it's a brewery restaurant like so many.

Great building, ambience was very nice. Food was good.

Beer is a blast and the Kochkässchnitzel is a dream.

Really nice, very old hotel. Single room does not have a TV. Shower very small. Parking is not ideal but it works. But the restaurant is amazing.

We won't go home without a freshly bought Faust.

We were there to eat (and drink). The food was hearty, the beer was good on the hot day and the service was very friendly.

We had lunch in the restaurant. The service is attentive, but sometimes seems a bit overwhelmed. The food was okay, but nothing more. I would have expected a little more. There's beer from the Faust brewery - a treat!

For the oldest inn in Germany, they were pretty on their toes here. The service was excellent, very friendly, the delicious dishes tailored to the area and the season, also vegan alternatives, special beers and the atmosphere was sociable and rustic. Very well attended, which speaks for itself.

Super friendly staff, food very tasty and regional. Price performance is right. Lots of beers from the Faust brewery. I can recommend making reservations for dinner.

I've been there very often. Nice clocky restaurant. The food has been of consistent quality for years and the beer on offer is from the Faust brewery. I never heard any complaints from the escorts either. Therefore 100% 5 stars.

We only rate the restaurant: Quaint restaurant, very full, difficult to get a seat (you have to reserve it in advance). After we "got hold" of it, we had a very extensive selection of beer, very unusual, the mini tasting glass for 1.50 euros was a good idea! That Unfortunately, the food was very salty, the portions weren't particularly large and so we weren't full. Is that because it's a tourist town and therefore always full? Conclusion: Interior is special, selection of drinks is great, food is okay, service is mediocre, volume is high.

Really bad, so beer was perfectly cold, tasted almost like soda, you can drink it forever. The food was brutal, the dark beer sauce was a dream. We will come again. The oldest hostel in Germany - you can see it! 😀

Great location. People go only because it is recommended. There is mobbing in the place, the taste is not stable, the soup is tasteless. I have free water in the tap.

Probably the quaintest place I've been to so far. As far as I know, it is the oldest inn in Germany. You have to have been there!

Very cozy restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. We didn't stay overnight

Located in the middle of the pedestrian zone. Absolutely top, the service and the food and beer were very tasty 😋

Right in the middle of town with great food

Very tasty 😋 food and very nice service.

Fried potatoes were very tasty. But the bread dumplings weren't that good.

We were only here to eat, so I can't say anything about the rooms. Beautiful, rustic restaurant in the heart of Miltenberg. We had liver dumpling soup and meatballs with dark beer sauce, fried potatoes and salad. Unfortunately the meatballs were cold. But it was immediately improved. And they tasted very good hot. Very worthy meat and aromatic sauce. The dumpling was also very spicy. All in all, a nice restaurant with friendly service and good food. If you want to eat later in the evening, you should make a reservation. Would love to come back.

I found it very loud and the food was mediocre

We went to the restaurant again for a nightcap. The Bacchus selected on the menu is very tasty and drinkable. Chicly furnished restaurant and fits the rented hotel. Staff friendly and attentive. Hopefully next time it will work out for dinner, unfortunately everything was fully booked this evening... no wonder.

This review is for dinner. We had a large group for dinner. Service was very unfriendly. Food isn't as good as it used to be

The Best beer in this city center

Only good here, highly recommended

Restaurant: Staff is friendly. Food is delicious and the location is very attractive.

We didn't stay here, we had lunch. The friendly service is unfortunately overloaded. Bayrisch Hell beer has a metallic aftertaste. The wheat yeast light is sour and probably has an infection. When you ask, you get the answer that it has always been that way and that so much wheat has already been sold today, I would be the first to have a problem with it. The fried potatoes do NOT deserve the names because they were only warmed up in the pan, but they were definitely NOT fried.

Quaint inn. But very loud. Unbearable on the first floor in hot weather. Service very nice. Food average. Beer good. I don't understand why people who haven't made a reservation aren't allowed in even though there's space.

We ate very well, perhaps the best Bavarian food in all of Bavaria!

Didn't stay overnight, just ate. Service was super friendly, the food tasted great and the beer is to die for! The service was also quick and the atmosphere is rather rustic, which we really like.

Anyone who is in Miltenberg should (must) go there. Super delicious food. Large selection of beer from the Faust brewery. Super nice staff. I can really recommend you...5 stars from me.

The beds are a bit short. 😁If you're a size 186, your feet hit the end of the bed. But otherwise the rooms are very historically furnished and a bit cramped.

Rustic traditional German restaurant with a cozy but quite loud atmosphere. Suitable for the medieval city center. Good food and beer. Service is top. 👍🏻

We wanted to go there for dinner this evening, but didn't have a reservation. When we asked for a free table, two waitresses gave us mushy answers and we were simply left standing inside like idiots. Something like that doesn't show hospitality, no matter what! Friendly is always possible, as we found out in another restaurant. Such behavior without words and actually not even worth 1 star!!

After visiting the St. KILIAN whiskey distillery nearby in Rüdenau, we ate at the Riesen restaurant in the small beer garden. It is located in the middle of the beautiful old town with a view of the half-timbered houses. Wonderful. The food was good, but no surprise, good German cuisine. This time, braised beef.

We only ate here and it was very good

Always worth a visit: good food, very courteous service and a cozy atmosphere.

Catastrophe, same story every time. I came to it and all the tables inside were ordered (as always) but there are many tables in the shade outside next to the street where the main entrance is but “it has been ordered”. I ask where we can sit?? "We only have space outside on the corner" when it's 33 degrees and sitting or eating in full sun, that's sickening. The place simply doesn't work. My foot will never step there again!!! Whoever is in the restaurant or is blind or disabled simply doesn't care about customers!!!

Delicious. Roast pork and brier brewer pan.

Even though it is very loud when the place is full, there is a nice atmosphere in the giant. However, the main focus seems to be on the presentation of the sometimes very tasty beer from the Faust brewery, because in my opinion the food is not really recommended and the extremely thick, tasteless sauce is the negative highlight.

Very good dishes that are super tasty and good portions that fill you up, highly recommended if you are in Miltenberg. Service is super friendly and every wish is tried to be made possible.

The Kasspatzen are still delicious, even if the portion has become smaller and the price has increased. Very attentive service!

Delicious beer, good food, nice service

A great economy And great service

Very good atmosphere friendly staff.

A nice restaurant in the oldest restaurant. We arrived shortly before the kitchen closed and got everything we wanted and it was delicious 😋. We recommend.

One of the oldest inns in Germany. In the middle of the old town. Food is super tasty, the staff is quick and friendly. Always go there on special occasions. If there are a large number of people, I would make a reservation (you can also do this online). The small vaulted room is very nice, but mostly occupied (max. 5-6 people). EC payment possible. Not far from the Main, so you can combine it with a walk or take a look at the old town.

Quaint restaurant with an interesting history (I was only there to eat). Good selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes, unfortunately they don't fill you up that much ;-) otherwise good selection of Franconian specialties and the beer is of course great!!

We didn't stay overnight, we were just there to eat. Food is very tasty (fried liver with fried potatoes / roast beef with bread dumplings) The Faust beer from the Ansässige brewery is one of the best beers. The service is very nice and friendly. We liked it and tasted it, we would love to come back

Exceptional place, the oldest building in Germany transformed into a Hotel and Restaurant in the antique style of the Kings

I didn't spend the night, but had an excellent meal (spinach dumplings) and drank 3 half-light drinks with it. Top service in the beautiful outdoor area. The ambience inside is beautifully historic and finely furnished. Thank you - I'll definitely come back.

Great inn with a lot of tradition

The restaurant is cozy, the service is friendly, and the food is always good and plentiful. Unfortunately it is very loud. Silencers, like the ones you often see in restaurants, would be great. These are attached to the ceiling. We'd love to come back.

We had lunch with 10 people. The food is very good, wonderful beer, and very nice and good service. Can only be recommended

Super tasty food, very nice service and very fast

The hotel is managed separately, the restaurant by the Faust brewery. They have great beer, very nice staff and delicious food with dishes from Franconia, Hesse and Bavaria. Very old building inside but well maintained and very interesting

We went there for dinner and it was excellent. A fine little card, isn't it? exaggerated, regional cuisine and also sophisticated dishes. All of this in a great atmosphere and at fair prices. Most of the food is cooked fresh and finished products have no home here. Any time. The service was also great and friendly.

Were there for dinner. Delicious food and super nice service

Beautifully renovated inn, pleasant wooden atmosphere inside, very cozy, food rather simple and still good, but still recommended, as it is the oldest inn in Germany, non-alcoholic wheat beer was really fruity and tasty

We created a basis here before visiting the brewery It was super tasty and the service was great!!

Very tasty food and large portions that fill everyone. Staff was very friendly.

Delicious and inexpensive food. Large portions with good quality. Unfortunately, the service was a bit confused and there were regular misunderstandings (probably there was just a lot going on). We gave a tip and then later noticed that we had been given the wrong meal on the bill, which was €2 more expensive... not that big of a deal, but learn to radiate calm and listen properly. If necessary, the boss has to hire a few more people.

Brewing specialties, dumplings and service - everything was absolutely top.👍

We really enjoy eating there with our family. You can always get a seat quickly, even if you don't have a reservation. The food is always very tasty and fresh. The waitresses are always very friendly and always happy to come back!

Had dinner after the brewery tour. Nice quaint restaurant, good food.

We were back and became repeat offenders. We ate and drank great again at the inn. What was particularly noticeable was that the prices were of course increased, after all everyone has to survive, but a beer for 4.40 euros remained on the carpet. And the service was again super friendly. We'll definitely be back. See you soon dear team......

The food in the beer garden was delicious, the service was very nice and the beer was tasty. Price/performance is reasonable.

Came spontaneously with a larger group - but space was still found. Staff extremely friendly and attentive. Gladly again!

Large selection of beers. Rather expensive. Sausage salad in a rather manageable portion.

A quaint restaurant with hearty food and a good selection of drinks located in the middle of the city

I can only rate the inn here. Menu very extensive. Service/operation very friendly and attentive. Food excellent. And the cool, freshly tapped Faust beer, fantastic. We'd love to come back.

Food = underground: industrial goods and not fresh! Starter: Tomato and wild garlic soup (€5.90): Poorly warmed up, at best lukewarm industrial ready-made tomato sauce from a bucket. Add a teaspoon of wild garlic pesto from the bucket as a topping. Sorry, but I mean something completely different by tomato and wild garlic soup. This has nothing to do with cooking at all. Main course: steamed roast ox with boiled potatoes (€19.90): The meat was so tough that you couldn't cut it with the knives provided or with your own pocket knife. The meat was also very dry, which in combination only leads me to the conclusion that it was old and had been reheated repeatedly, i.e. too often. It's fitting that they weren't freshly cooked potatoes either. That doesn't work at all. Food was completely reduced. The waitress wasn't even remotely interested. We got the impression that the main thing here is to serve and sell the house beer on a massive scale. The preparation of food is probably just seen as a tiresome addition. However, the prices are again like those in an upper class and are not even remotely suitable. -> Never again!
