Gasthof Goldener Anker in Scheßlitz

Today was our first time at the Golden Anchor and it was simply fantastic. From the incredibly friendly service to the amazing food and the phenomenal dessert, everything was perfect. Our dog was also warmly welcomed. Thank you so much for everything.

We were here for our Christmas party and would definitely go back for a meal! The Anker fries are absolutely delicious and highly recommended as an appetizer, for example. The steak was also very good. I thought the price-performance ratio was okay and not too expensive.

The food was all very, very delicious 😋 The service was quick and friendly. I'd gladly come again!

Family-run business with a cozy pub and a high-quality selection of food and drinks.

A fantastic restaurant serving excellent Franconian cuisine. No waiting time, a great selection of food, and the food is superb. And relatively inexpensive, too. The decor is traditional and very well done. Plus, the owners are very friendly. I highly recommend it.

We arrived a few days ago in the evening without a reservation and still got a table to ourselves in the other room, as everything else was full (otherwise they would have said they had no tables available...). The staff was very friendly, the food was exceptionally good, and the prices are more than fair. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended. Excellent value for money. It's great that there are also vegetarian options.

We stopped there for a meal on a weekday at the beginning of October. The staff were very attentive and friendly. My husband enjoyed a smoked beer with his delicious meal. Both my dish, Franconian Schäufele (pork shoulder), and my husband's dish were absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back on our next visit to Franconia.

We're describing a situation in Germany at the end of 2025: CASH IS KEY. Unfortunately, card payments are still being declined here. At least I was politely informed. It's a shame, because I'm reluctant to carry so much cash with larger groups. Perhaps this information will help others with their planning.

The staff were incredibly friendly and we received a warm welcome. The food arrived five minutes after we ordered, and we were very surprised by the speed. Fantastic restaurant!

Excellent food and service! Large portions and top quality at a great price. The food arrived very quickly. All the staff were very helpful. Highly recommended.

Excellent Franconian food. Highly recommended. Great value for money.

A charming Franconian inn with plenty of style and coziness, offering consistently excellent Franconian cuisine 👍🏻 This time...top-notch Schäufele (pork shoulder) with savoy cabbage 😉 and dumplings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A little tip...for friendly and attentive service...the key lies in calmness and a clear overview 😉👍🏻 Thank you so much ❣️ We always love coming back 😃

Completely satisfied, food was prompt and very tasty. Attentive and friendly service.

A very nice inn. A well-maintained little dining room with charming details. The food arrived very quickly and tasted delicious.

Delicious food and incredibly friendly service. Excellent value for money. The ambiance is a blend of classic and modern. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty food, very attentive service. We had sauerbraten, creamed beef roast, pepper carp, and pork knuckle. Always delicious.

Unfortunately, the adjoining room was full and no windows were open. The air quality was so poor that neither of us got enough oxygen. The noise level was also very high. The service and food were very good.

We had an excellent, delicious meal here today. The service was extremely friendly and attentive. The prices are perfectly reasonable. The atmosphere is homely, and the restaurant is very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!

We were really looking forward to the carp – instead, it was an absolute disaster. We ordered carp fillet, but what we got was a minefield of bones. And no, not small or edible bones, but really large, dangerous things. In the worst case, something like that can injure your esophagus or stomach – simply irresponsible! The taste was also abysmal: soggy, old, and simply unappetizing. For €19.90, it's an absolute disgrace and not worth a cent. I really can't recommend it to anyone. Nevertheless, the salad was a bright spot, and the potato salad was very tasty.

Very tasty... Staff extremely friendly.

Lovely, rustic ambiance, and the food was delicious. The staff was also very friendly. We'd love to come back! ✨

We had a delicious meal at reasonable prices, and the service and waiter were super friendly. We'd love to come back.

Very nice inn, I always stop here on my way from Saxony to Baden-Württemberg. Delicious food and good beer 🍺 I'd gladly come back.

Definitely go there. Everything's perfect! Price, performance, and service.

Essentially 5* potential. Very attentive service, and the food was served super quickly. Despite asking, the horseradish in the meat was unfortunately just a cream sauce with a horseradish flavor. The grated horseradish, which was promptly delivered, unfortunately had to be mixed into the remaining cream sauce by hand. This should have been easily done in the kitchen beforehand. However, they couldn't have charged an extra fee, especially since the dish cost four euros less four years ago (almost 50% more now). The sauce was unfortunately far too creamy and rooty. The meat and dumplings were excellent. Otherwise, it would have been 5*. Perhaps another time.

We had dinner there last weekend. The service was super friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic. The meat was very tender, the sauces were homemade, and the savoy cabbage tasted like grandma used to make. The salad was also very fresh, and the side dishes were excellent 👍🏼 We'll be back soon.

Excellent food, friendly staff, and a very nice beer garden in the backyard.

We were passing through and were looking for a quaint inn with delicious food. We found exactly that here, and the service was prompt and friendly. Truly excellent 👍

The staff is very attentive. The traditional cuisine is delicious.

Great, hearty food and friendly service. There were four of us, and everyone was very satisfied. We'd be happy to go again!

The food was very good. The service was exceptionally friendly.

Very tasty Franconian food. Venison roast with dumplings was excellent. Service was extremely attentive :-)!

A beautiful restaurant with excellent cuisine. Friendly and attentive staff. A must-visit in Scheßlitz and the surrounding area.

A perfect oasis! I can only agree with all the other positive reviews. Great atmosphere, super friendly and quick staff, and delicious food. Thank you so much!

Highly recommended. Everything was great.

I haven't had such good Franconian food in a long time. The liver dumpling soup was fantastic, and for the main course, we had Schäuferla (a kind of pork stew). The sauce alone was divine, the meat was tender as butter, and the savoy cabbage was just like Grandma's. The service is unbeatable: very attentive and always friendly! All in all, highly recommended; we'd love to come back!

We had lunch here as a starting point for our class reunion. It was simply fantastic; all 12 of us were very satisfied. Thank you again.

Authentic Franconian cuisine, unbeatable prices. Highly recommended!

Mega good food. Excellent quality.

We called just before to make a spontaneous reservation and still managed to get a table for two. Because there were a lot of wasps at our table outside due to the weather, we were allowed to sit inside, despite our spontaneous visit. The service was excellent. Super friendly and welcoming. The whole atmosphere was very informal. The food arrived quickly and was truly delicious. It was also very plentiful and reasonably priced. Overall, highly recommended and a truly great restaurant. Important: Cash only!

Prices are not cheap Not even reasonable. Cash only. (This is 2025)

The restaurant is an institution, whether you're a local or a tourist. The interior is beautifully designed. The food is typically Franconian, and in addition to the standard beers, there's always a beer of the month. Reservations are always recommended. The service is always super friendly and prompt. Thank you.

A wonderful restaurant with excellent service and friendly staff. The roast and dessert were both delicious. I can recommend this place to everyone. | I would be very happy if you gave it a thumbs up.

Beautiful beer garden. Friendly service. Good value for money.

We happened upon this restaurant. We had the wild garlic noodles and chopped dumplings with egg on top. It was really delicious, and the decor is rustic and modern. Just perfect. Maybe a few more vegetarian dishes... cheese spaetzli or something... but otherwise, the food was really great.

Excellent good-value food & very friendlh service.

Great place, fast service, good food 😁😁😁

Super friendly, efficient staff, I always enjoy going there. The sauerbraten is an absolute recommendation, top notch👌🏻😋

One of the best country inns in this area

Excellent food, friendly staff, and very fast service. Drinks took less than two minutes, and food arrived in five minutes, even though the beer garden was packed. Highly recommended!

A truly lovely inn with very friendly service! The food and beer were excellent; I would definitely come back! Thank you very much!

Fast, friendly service. The food and beer were excellent!

A solid 5 ⭐️ We were there for lunch, but the evening was also simply SUBBER!!!!!!!

Super tasty and despite being full, the staff were super friendly, knowledgeable and charming.

Top inn, very tasty food, friendly service and very good prices.

Very friendly and delicious food. They accommodated vegetarian requests. I would have liked to see another vegetarian (hot) dish on the menu.

Good, home-style food at fair prices. Always happy to come back.

Good Franconian cuisine, served quickly and with a friendly atmosphere. That's how we like it.

We just happened to pass by, simply brilliant, everything was perfect, food, service, ambience

Great Franconian restaurant with delicious food! The "Goldener Anker" offers a varied, regional menu with fair prices and truly delicious food. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere was very cozy. We'll definitely be back! The seasonal selection is particularly noteworthy – you can tell they use fresh, regional ingredients.

The food tastes very delicious. The service is very friendly.

Super delicious food like the Schauferl, roast venison and schnitzel 🤤 Service was also super friendly and accommodating 👌🏻 all around brilliant 🤩

Service was good, beer was tasty, food was OK (Schäuferle, Schnitzel were tasty), unfortunately they only had a white roll instead of bread

Recommended, local beers and inexpensive delicious meals, friendly service 👍

During our vacation, we've already eaten at the Goldener Anker twice (my dog ​​was also allowed to come along). There are few restaurants that offer a cozy atmosphere, have attentive, courteous, and friendly staff (even on Whit Sunday, just before the lunch menu ended and despite the crowds), serve excellent food, and offer excellent value for money. High praise!

Delicious German cuisine in cozy atmosphere.

Exceptionally good food and very good service. We really enjoyed it.

Great food, super tasty, but the hustle and bustle wasn't so good.

All I can say is, the service was excellent and the taste was great. We'll be happy to come back.

Very tasty food, we would love to come back

Very good food, very attentive service. I'll definitely be back!

Super friendly staff, delicious food, and generous portions. In our case, they recommended dishes from the daily special that weren't on the menu. The delivery wait was short, and the kids were happy. We'll definitely be back. 😊 Thank you very much.

I really liked it in the inner courtyard of the old half-timbered building, the food was really tasty and the service was super friendly. If I were to be in the area again, I would visit the restaurant again as I felt particularly comfortable there. Thank you.

Absolutely, everything was perfect. Gladly again, it's nice that there are still guesthouses like this 🍀🍖🍺

Super nice Franconian restaurant, with the best food and very friendly staff.

A bit grumpy boss, nice service staff, excellent cuisine. Perfectly prepared by hand. So far, there has been no better Franconian meal anywhere, but the standard in general is really good in Upper Franconia!

Absolutely recommended, always happy.

A wonderful place for enjoyable dining. Franconian specialties and more. I'm already looking forward to the next visit.

Nice old inn with good food and friendly service

We celebrated our communion there. Everything perfect. Food was great and the service was also very, very nice and attentive. Highly recommended 👍

Was invited to a birthday party for the second time - very tasty food and super nice staff.

Stopped in spontaneously, super friendly staff, cheap, delicious hot food, we'll be back

Very attentive staff Good portions Very tasty food Good selection

Great food Price-performance is simply right Among the top 3 Schäfela restaurants in Bavaria, juicy, taste, size etc... Also very child-friendly

Very good food and a very nice, rustic atmosphere.

Very nice economy, inexpensive.

Highly recommended, always very good.

We were totally satisfied, food was great, prices were ok and the staff were really nice, we will be back

A top-notch restaurant with truly excellent Franconian cuisine. Very fast and attentive service, and in addition to Fässla beer, a variety of draft beers are also available. A lovely courtyard where you can sit outside in the summer. It's best to make a reservation on weekends, as every seat is taken!

Excellent food, excellent and attentive service. We really enjoy coming here!

Very tasty food, I can only recommend it! Service was super friendly and pleasant. Keep it up! We'll be back :)

Finally found a really nice Franconian inn again. If anyone feels like having Franconian food, they should leave the motorway here and take a break here. From carp to duck to roast dishes or schnitzel, there is everything here. I look forward to my next visit.

Cozy restaurant in which a well-groomed Schafkopf is obviously played. At least that's the assumption based on the framed sheets. Quaint. I liked it.

The best beer and bark brat in Germany!! Many thanks to the staff and the table too!! Goodbye

Great food, delicious beer, very friendly staff. We had the carp and the pizza schnitzel, everything tasted very good. Would love to come back.

Top service - always friendly and simply great Franconian cuisine! Now a regular pub

The rabbit is to be stroked, a poem. Service is on point. We'll be back

Good Franconian cuisine, fast and friendly service...... - Please keep it up and keep it up. Happy to come back!!

Very tasty Franconian food. Large changing selection of dishes. The waitresses are super friendly and attentive.
