Gaststätte Schrepfersmühle in Weismain

Yesterday, after a Sunday outing, the four of us stopped by the Schrepfersmühle. Our first impression was dominated by the lively atmosphere: it was very crowded and accordingly loud, which gave the place a certain bustle. Luckily, a table just opened up, so we could sit down right away. However, ordering proved a bit of a chore. After waiting 20 minutes in a long line at the food counter, we were served by a waiter with curly hair, whose demeanor was unfortunately very rude and unfriendly. This experience was disappointing and almost made us leave. A more cordial demeanor would certainly make a big difference here, because ultimately, it's the guests who make the business work. After ordering, we got our drinks and waited for the food. Unfortunately, the wait times varied greatly: the first dish arrived after 20 minutes, the second after 40 minutes, and the last two after an hour and ten minutes. This somewhat dampened the overall impression. However, the waiters who cleared the tables deserve special mention. They were consistently extremely friendly, courteous, and helpful – there's really nothing to complain about here. The prices at Schrepfersmühle are a definite plus: both the food and drinks are very reasonably priced. However, this is also reflected in the quality of the food. The burger with fries was solid and perfectly fine. The Cordon Bleu, however, was rather average and had a slightly "sugary" pork flavor, which wasn't particularly convincing. The pizza, unfortunately, wasn't a highlight either – the yeast dough was more reminiscent of doner kebab bread than classic pizza dough. You probably can't expect too much for the low prices, but a little more attention to detail would have been nice. Overall, thanks to its idyllic location, Schrepfersmühle definitely has the potential to be more than just a lovingly designed cafeteria with cheap food. With shorter wait times, friendlier service at the food counter, and a little more focus on the quality of the food, this place could really shine. We might come again, hoping for a more complete experience.

Excellent food, very friendly staff, well organized. Excellent value for money. We had fish soup and a Marrakesh platter, both delicious, along with a shandy and a mineral water, both 0.5 l, for a total of €23.00.

We ended up there by chance. It's a shame we didn't discover this cozy beer garden sooner; we would have stopped by more often if we were. If we're ever in the area again, we'd definitely go back. We highly recommend the Kaiserschmarrn, Aperol Spritz, and various types of beer, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

The atmosphere is great, and the service is self-service: you order and pay at the counter. When your food is ready, it's brought to your table. You can also purchase and bring your own drinks. Some dishes are delicious, while others are so-so. The hamburger was overcooked and dry, and the bun was cold. I recommend bringing a friend for a relaxing time.

It was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a charming place, tucked away in a quiet spot. There are two parking lots, so parking is no problem. There are plenty of tables, but beware! They'll be pushy Germans who try to grab your table even though others are free. If you refuse, they'll stare you down. This happened three times during one visit to the garden! Let's move on to the service: very friendly and efficient! The wait for food wasn't long, about 15-20 minutes, even though there were a lot of people. The location is great because you feel like you're eating in the middle of the forest. We ordered a dark beer, Lillet, Burger Jack, Burger Cheese, and a Delicioza pizza. The burgers were delicious and the fries were delicious! We also enjoyed the pizza, but the crust was a bit thin. Nevertheless, I was very satisfied and will definitely return, as long as the staff can control the people who insist on sitting at your table.

A very unfriendly manager who couldn't take criticism. A disappointment for me as a regular beer garden visitor. I had to complain about the beer because it tasted very watery. Instead of accepting my criticism and offering me an alternative, I was laughed at and left standing. I was told to contact the brewery. I worked in the restaurant industry for a long time and am shocked by this reaction. The 60 km drive based on a recommendation was therefore not worth it. The food prices were too high compared to other restaurants. Drinks were reasonably priced.

It's a very nice beer garden...with a great service...and very, very tasty food...a place you can visit again and again... perfect 👍🍕😋

A superb idyllic ambiance! The staff is relaxed and consistently friendly. The food, at an unbeatable price, is delicious and fresh. Even the vegetarian options aren't just run-of-the-mill, as is often the case. 👍🏻

I wasn't satisfied with the fried potatoes...otherwise everything was great as always

Found it by chance. I'll be back; I loved the atmosphere. The concept fits.

What an idyllic place! And where in 2025 can you still get draft beer for €3 a glass and a large stone-baked Margherita pizza for under €10? I hope this place lasts forever! Absolutely fantastic! We were thrilled.

There is nothing to complain about, everything is perfect!

This is the beer garden, if not the most beautiful in Franconia 👍🥰

Very nice location, plenty of seating, decent portion sizes, and friendly staff. We'd be happy to go back!

Always busy, but friendly staff and good, decent food. The Kaiserschmarrn is a dream 💞

Beautiful restaurant! Unbeatable value for money.

Highly recommended Beautiful beer garden

Very nice beer garden with friendly service. Prices where you'd be happy to order an extra drink. Everything was perfect. Top

A beautifully located restaurant with fair prices and great food. Great for kids, too.

Quaint beer garden with many lovely details. It's almost self-service – you order and pay, but the food is brought to your table.

Highly recommended! Even the longest journey is worth it!

A "place of power" - to recharge in many ways

Excellent food, delicious regional beers, and a very nice beer garden. The staff was also very friendly throughout. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Highly recommended, everything was perfect

The food is very good and the portions are generous. They offer delicious burgers, pizza, pasta, schnitzel, and much more. There's a good selection of regional beers. For dessert, we recommend the Kaiserschmarrn. It's worth noting that the valley location makes it very cool, which is very pleasant on a hot summer day.

Great place along a river in a rustic former papermill with eclectic decor and lots of outdoor seating, this is a hidden gem. I strongly recommend the wooden oven pizzas, the burgers, the grilled cheese and needless to say, this is Bavaria, the beers on tap.

The food hasn't been perfect since the new kitchen staff arrived. The schnitzel was very dry, the fried potatoes were swimming in fat and had a strange taste. There used to be more food on offer. You have to get non-alcoholic drinks from the fridge yourself these days; you only pay at the counter. It's been a lot worse. Service staff are sometimes bored and unfriendly. No longer recommended.

We happened upon this place by chance on our hike. It's a very nice self-service beer garden, and the food is really good. I had the best pizza here in a long time. And the prices are unbeatable, too. We'd love to come back again 😊.

It was very very nice 😊, prices are TOP!!! 👍

Beautiful beer garden and fantastic food. The large parking lot is often crowded (not without reason), but the wait is worth it!

The fish soup is fantastic. I've only had better in the South of France. And extremely reasonably priced for the fish content. Unfortunately, it's a bit crowded—seems to be "in." Even on Friday afternoon, it's practically full.

Very good food in a cozy atmosphere

Very tasty. Friendly service, despite the full house. Prices are reasonable.

Great self-service beer garden. Great food and really affordable.

Very tasty, very good value for money

So the best beer garden in the area. Just wonderful

A super nice little beer garden. We only happened upon it by chance. There are hardly any signs. You have to know the place, otherwise you'll drive right past it. But it's definitely worth stopping. It's self-service, but normal and acceptable for a beer garden. Delicious food and very friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

Super delicious food at reasonable prices Always happy to come back

Very good and inexpensive food, despite the full house we got a table after a short wait.

I was there for the first time. I was a bit overwhelmed at first that I had to go to the counter to order, but it wasn't bad in itself!

The food was very tasty and inexpensive at the same time. The ambience invites you to linger. Perfect place to strengthen and recover after a beautiful hike. See you soon!

Food great. Great value for money. Again and again.

Very nice atmosphere, good food

Great location. Service friendly and well structured, very nice atmosphere!

I had a currywurst and my son had chicken nuggets. The food was very good and plentiful. The prices are absolutely fair. €3 for a beer. Where else can you get this? The meal cost €8.50 each. The ambience is great. We stopped on our hike. This is the perfect stop for that. Some are self-service. This means you have to go to the counter and order there. You take drinks with you straight away. The food is brought. But it happens relatively quickly.

Very friendly staff and a super dog-friendly atmosphere. The price-performance ratio is definitely right for food and drinks. The only thing I miss is vegan dishes on the menu

Perfect for trips to Franconian Switzerland.

In any case, beautiful hiking trails, the restaurant is very nice and quiet, a great place to relax But we didn't eat anything, the prices were okay and the selection was really good We'll be back

100% recommendation 5/5 ⭐ We (two adults) came here for the first time by pure chance on a Saturday in January, and we are overjoyed to have found this gem. But first things first: So it was a Saturday, around 3:30 a.m., we happened to be nearby, and my wife stumbled upon Schrepfersmühle on Google. So we came here spontaneously, and to our surprise, the whole place was packed. We asked the very friendly waitress if there was room for two adults. Her reply was, "Just a moment, I'll see what I can do." Two minutes later, she was back and seated us at a large table for six with two other guests. Our drinks were taken, and we were given the menu. We could hardly believe our eyes: schnitzel with fried potatoes - €12, the most expensive pizza €11, a huge burger with fries €12, a 0.5l soft drink €2!!!, and a 0.5l beer €3! We ordered two schnitzels with fries. About 15 minutes later, the food arrived at our table, super fresh and extremely light - it was a dream! Even though the restaurant was packed, everything was super quick and friendly - perfect service! Full and happy, we ordered the bill and paid €31 for two schnitzels with fries, one Colaweizen beer, and two Spezi! Top-quality, tasty food with delightful service. We are 100% thrilled with our overall experience and will definitely come back here again in the future. Many thanks to the Schrepfersmühle team for the wonderful stay and the perfect meal.

Everything just fits here. Food, price, service all top. 5 stars.

I recommend it! Delicious food with the best surroundings and views 🥂♥️

Delicious food, very nice service, beautiful surroundings and views, I recommend, very good prices 😃😃10/10

Great people always happy to visit and the food is highly recommended, really great team

Very unfriendly boss. Not customer-friendly!!!

Little insider tip in the region. Price/performance ratio absolutely great.

nice place with a lot of nice smorgasbord...

The visit was extremely disappointing. We walked to the restaurant the day before to inquire about vegan food. The boss told me that it was definitely possible to put together something vegan from the dishes. So we go there the next day. There we had a man at the order counter who could in no way confirm the boss's statements. Suddenly there was butter everywhere, even in the pizza dough. What's butter doing in pizza dough? Anyway, I asked kindly what we could do there because we had been confirmed the day before that there was vegan food. The man was so unfriendly and anti-vegan that I had never experienced that before. The answer to the question why he was so unfriendly was so bitchy and aggressive. Unbelievable, absolutely not recommended the shed. Of course I didn't order any food.

BE CAREFUL when paying by card, something can go wrong and as a SINGLE GUEST the food will be charged twice. If you make a complaint, you will get the excess debited money back as a GOOD PAYMENT, but you will still be rude via email pointed out that you shouldn't contact us again. and rob them of their time.

Not so many inside seats. Food tastes very good.

Five stars because of the atmosphere. I love the vibe of the restaurant. It’s extremely cozy and you feel like you’re at home. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The food here is also absolutely delicious and the servings are pretty large! Perfect for after a day of climbing in Franken!

A great place for a break on a motorcycle tour or for a walk. In general, the Kleinziegenfelder Valley is highly recommended.

Just right after the hiking trip and fantastic value for money.

Good burgers and nice staff, kitschy "rustic" atmosphere. Well attended. Good beer!

A very nice beer garden to relax in.

We drive almost 60 km every time just for this beautiful beer garden and the great food there 🥰 absolutely recommended ☺️

Beautiful beer garden with very tasty food. The pizza with its excellent dough deserves special mention.

Very tasty, great atmosphere. The currywurst is huge, great

Today we took a nice tour to see you. The beer garden is absolutely great, highly recommended. Your food and service is really great. I would love to come back. Your currywurst is amazing

Very nice beer garden with partial/self-service in the middle of Franconian Switzerland in a wonderful setting. You sit comfortably under the trees by the (usually dry) stream. Good selection of local brewing specialties and a small, varied menu. The portions are generous and the price is very, very good. Since it is a well-attended excursion restaurant, places are always rare and reservations cannot be made. But you can always find a cozy place...

Nice beer garden, prices okay. Incredibly unfriendly host. We have a restaurant ourselves, I wouldn't dream of treating a guest like that.

Very tasty food at very good prices

Sooooo delicious and made with love

Great location to stop off after a hike. Very nice atmosphere. Very busy - you have to be lucky to get a spot. The only shame is that you are not served and always have to queue for food and drinks yourself. At least the food will be brought to your table. We had burgers, schnitzel and a steak and it was all excellent and inexpensive. Clear recommendation - we would love to come back.

Great location in the middle of nature with delicious food and good draft beer. Pizza and burgers absolutely recommended.

Mega tasty at even more humane prices. You sit very nicely.

Always again.....beautiful place....price performance...great....

Our favorite beer garden, great as always! But please quickly replace this extremely unfriendly older lady behind the counter, the woman is a complete catastrophe with her manner and is destroying the entire store. Thank you! Your regular guests since day one

What an atmosphere!...super cozy beer garden, really idyllic. Price-performance ratio is great, you can see that there is another way.The people are really tasty. The conditions could be a bit friendlier, but we don't want to overestimate that when the beer garden is full.

Very nice and clocky beer garden. Friendly service. The food is awesome. My schnitzel was just right, the meat was thick and super juicy. The pizza dough and toppings were very tasty. The burger was also amazing. The desserts are a dream. I'd love to come back.

The food is always very good. The prices are good and there is always a good atmosphere. On sunny days, a high influx of guests can be expected. Although you have to be lucky to get a spot under an umbrella even when it rains. The portions are always very large!

Absolutely outrageous behavior from all employees and especially from the owner. We only wanted the fries without paprika powder due to a severe allergy. We were insulted when we thought of making such “big” demands and we should look for another restaurant. If you have allergies of any kind, you'd better choose another restaurant to eat in because the way people with allergies are treated here is really appalling.

Quaint pub with a large beer garden

The beer garden is surrounded by plants, which I really like and the food is very tasty 😋

Great beer garden with a homely atmosphere. Food was super tasty and great value for money.

The food is very plentiful and cheap. The beer 0.5 costs €3, the 0.5 coke costs €2

It's a very nice restaurant, very nicely designed, nice staff and the food is great👍 we come here every time we're there for vacation.

Very nice place. Food very rich, prices cheap for 0.5 liters of non-alcoholic drinks only 2 euros. 🍺 0.5 liters only 3 euros. We will be back definitely.

I even accept the queuing here. Always an oasis!

Always nice in the Schrepfi, it's worth a visit every time :)

Simply fantastic. All the dishes are excellent and in summer there is also a huge selection of different dishes.

Very idyllic location, great ambience, inexpensive and good food.

Simply great…found here after a long search! Absolute recommendation, service great, food simply fantastic, great menu, good seasonal menu! Prices are incredibly good.

Fair prices, very tasty food, good beer and pleasant to sit. Self-service, but the main courses are brought to you. Cake is not on the menu, but it is available (and tastes incredibly good). A little gem of a beer garden. Some people might find it annoying that there is little “classic” Franconian beer garden food, but mostly burgers and pizza. I had no problem with that. There are plenty of options for vegetarians.

very tasty burgers and pizzas. Occasionally special meals are also on offer. very affordable prices. would love to come back again

Price performance is really great. Very nice beer garden and the food is really delicious. Self-service only food is brought. You don't often find Spezi for 2 euros anymore.

Very good and very cheap 👍. The ambience, beer and service are top.

Very good Italian food in a beautiful natural setting.

A really great beer garden, perfectly integrated into the beautiful landscape. The dishes we ordered tasted first-class and the price/performance ratio was also right here. Great, keep it up!

Very good food with a large selection, fair prices. We'll definitely come back.

We've been coming here regularly for years and we're always very impressed! Cozy atmosphere, good food and very inexpensive!
