Gaststätte Spinnrädl in Kaiserslautern

Spinning wheel pan one of the hammers. Very tasty and good portion to fill you up.

Been here for the first time and also the last time. Booked for 4 people on Christmas Day. 2 had been given lukewarm food, including me - followed by stomach pain and cramps 1 hour later. The 2nd person confirmed the same thing the following day. I couldn't sleep the whole night and thought about going to the hospital. During the visit, the table next door also complained about the cold food - I should have said something that evening too, but I didn't want to ruin the mood. At first it seemed strange to me that the food was served 10 minutes after ordering. Had chestnut bratwurst with mashed potatoes and red cabbage. Our second “victim” was the cheese spaetzle. During this time the waitress was building up stress and kept asking for something to drink even though the glasses were at least half full. I can understand that the catering industry is busy rotating during the holidays, but this must not come at the expense of service and the quality of the meals. Conclusion: The evening and the resulting consequences were a failure.

We were there on Christmas Day. The duck was very dry, red cabbage from a jar and ready-made dumplings... anything but justified for the price. The rest of the dishes were ok, but nothing more. Generally very little freshly prepared. One dish was even forgotten and took a long time. Only the service from the young lady was okay and a small ray of hope. We were used to something different at the Spinnrädl. There probably won't be a next time anytime soon...

Very friendly and attentive staff. Top! IKEA children's high chair and plastic children's plate (robber plate) available. The waiting time until the drinks/food arrived was absolutely okay and reasonable. Traditional Palatinate dishes - if you don't like home-style, hearty Palatinate cuisine, you're definitely in the wrong place here. Negative: Unfortunately it was very cool/cold drafts at our place. Negative: The toilet is on the 1st floor. This can be reached via a narrow wooden staircase. Unfortunately very narrow (see pictures) and very cold. The dessert selection is unfortunately very minimalistic. Conclusion: price/performance fits.

So no Christmas atmosphere whatsoever Food only tasted like finished products. Sorry, I don't need no8

Rustic restaurant with first-class service and food like your mother or grandma used to eat at home. Very reasonable prices, just the right portions for good eaters. And on Saturday at 6 p.m. we were lucky enough to get a nice table. We'd love to come back!

I would have liked to give it 5*, but... The ambience is great, ancient half-timbered house, cozy guest room and harmonious furnishings. The service was excellent! Polite but also funny (but not staged). I "only" had the Palatinate tarte flambée and the apple strudel, both tasted good, I especially would have liked more of the black pudding. Then beer in the stein, what more could you want :-) However, I have to agree with some of the 2-3* reviews. The apple strudel really had a cold core, which clearly indicated that it had been warmed up... But I felt very comfortable. You can have a nice evening here.

10/10 would recommend! The schnitzel was amazing and the staff was very friendly and quick. This restaurant is in a great location and overall was a great experience!

Delicious food. Quaint. Nice service.

Eaten here a handful of times before and each time has been delightful. I typically have the tendency to last minute plan but the staff was accommodating considering how busy they were. Good selection of wines and beers, food each time has been tasteful and hardy, the staff is consistently friendly, and the atmosphere is overall easy going. Schnitzel, farmers plate, rump steak, and many more dishes I’ve had are easily recommended. Also cannot go wrong finishing off the meal with an apple strudel. Perfect place for a local night to dine or to bring a friend that is visiting Germany!

Unbeatable atmosphere with typical Alsatian food. To eat without hesitation.

The Spinnrädl is a small but fine restaurant. It's cozy and the food tastes great! In addition to hearty meat dishes, there are also vegetarian and some vegan dishes. The staff was very nice and accommodating and was able to answer any questions we had about the food. The restaurant is located in the city center and there is no parking directly at the restaurant.

The food wasn't excellent, but that was better. It's a shame. And it was very loud because of the guests who were here.

Beautiful old half-timbered house. Good Palatinate food and great service.

Good food, friendly service, a bit noisy, entertainment is possible.

Cheerful staff and great staff. Food is a 4.5.

Once again we ate and drank excellently. Nice service, rustic, cozy location that you have to visit once. We always enjoy coming here when we are in KL

Excellent dining experience. Highly recommended!

The Spinnrädl is really a hit if you're looking for typical Palatinate food and a cozy atmosphere! We had a cream schnitzel with spaetzle and cheese spaetzle – and I have to say, it was really tasty. The cream schnitzel was tender and perfectly seasoned, the sauce was nice and creamy, and the spaetzle with it was simply great. The cheese spaetzle were super hearty, exactly how they should be! The atmosphere in the restaurant is totally rustic and cozy - you immediately feel at home. What's particularly cool: The wine selection is huge and there are great wines directly from the region. You can just tell that the focus here is on quality and regional ingredients. All in all a really nice evening, I can absolutely recommend it – we’ll definitely be back!

Incredibly great service. Excellent food Gladly again

The food was super tasty and came really quickly. The service was also really good and the waitresses were super friendly. Will definitely come back. Highly recommended!!!

Very friendly service and rustic atmosphere

Great atmosphere, very, very nice staff

Very nice place. Decent menu selection. I had a steak and it was delicious paired with Fries. Eating outside was a nice touch. The restaurant is cozy as well. Their flammkuchen that NY coworker tried was also delicious and crispy. It was a sweet version that tasted like a cinnamon bun. Worth a try with some friends

A cozy traditional Palatinate restaurant. I had the liver dumpling and sausage with sauerkraut and potatoes - very good and savory! My wife and brother enjoyed the schnitzel and the kids liked the spätzle a lot. Friendly staff and fast service. Highly recommend!

Cozy little restaurant with local food and wine menue. The food is delicious and fresh, the atmosphere cozy and the staff very friendly! Highly recommended, but it's a good idea to make a reservation if you want to make sure that you get a table 🙂

Cozy atmosphere in the oldest residential building in Kaiserslautern. You step back in time when you enter this half timbered restaurant. The service was wonderful. We went on a Monday night right when they opened at 5:00 and all the tables we saw were reserved. However, we were seated at a table immediately that didn’t have a reservation until 7:30. The server was prompt to take our drink order and switched to speaking German when she heard us ordering in German. This is rare in Kaiserslautern and appreciated. The pumpkin soup was delicious and the farmer salad with bacon and potatoes was fresh and filling. The steaks were cooked a perfect medium and very juicy. The fried potatoes were flavorful and cooked with a little crispiness, not too soft. The price was compared to high quality of food. We left full and happy and will definitely be back again.

This is a traditional German food and beer restaurant. The meat dishes, sausages, and daily soups are all delicious. The portions of each item are large, so think of it as a special portion based on a standard Japanese restaurant. It costs 55€ for two people to eat a full meal, and the cost performance is also good.

5 stars are justified We were very satisfied overall on Friday and Saturday. Simply great - a visit is worth it

Very nice restaurant in the middle of the city. The food was really very good and the service was attentive and friendly. Absolutely top price-performance ratio! It's a pleasure to be a guest here!

Really delicious food in a cozy location. We'll definitely be back. Thanks

Super quaint restaurant in my hometown! Great atmosphere, very cozy, delicious Palatine dishes, attentive service. My recommendation: beef goulash with snowballs😁

Great place to visit. Oldest restaurant in Kaiserslautern. Awesome local food.

Cozy little restaurant, friendly staff, delicious food and good wine, we will definitely come back.

It is THE address in Kaiserslautern for regional dishes. We went there twice. Due to the limited number of places, reservations are recommended at certain times. We were served very courteously and enjoyed our time there. The ambience in this historic inn is very nice.

Very nice restaurant. The food was delicious. The service was good. Price-performance. To

Lautern is my second home I go there almost every year and that includes the SPINNRÄDEL. I was there with my mother ages ago. It was the first time that I didn't like the liver dumpling. Not fluffy, but pressed... it doesn't work at all As a Palatinate resident you know this. Otherwise, thank God, almost everything is the same remained as before. It's very nice there and I always feel comfortable Best to reserve. It's always full there Staff incredibly friendly and competent

One of my best culinary experiences I have ever had, everything I ate typical of Germany is delicious, but above all the dessert, it looks like a pizza that it is not, with apple, banana, cinnamon and a sauce that I don't know, all of it au gratin and baked, spectacular. I would return without a single moment's hesitation, everything is very good, they do not have air conditioning inside

A nice place to linger and have a refreshment. The food is very tasty, the waitresses are very accommodating. And you can also sit in the pedestrian zone.

Now the second time and never again. We were strolling in Kaiserslautern and passed the Spinnradl. On the menu we discovered pork fillet spaetzle, gratinated with cheese, which they called “Spinnradl Pfanne”. So we ordered two Radler and two Spinnradl pans. When the food came it looked good, but unfortunately the meat was inedible, very dry, and the smell wasn't normal either. The cheese spaetzle with cheese gratin could have been delicious if a brown ready-made sauce from the package had not been used. We informed the waitress that this was the second time we had had this happen and that the food just didn't taste good. The waitress said she would inform the boss, but no boss came. We just wanted to pay and the waitress couldn't offer us anything other than the finished schnitzel last time and the spoiled pork fillet this time. We were just disappointed. --- I hope this helps you!

Nice soup of the day! Traditional German dishes! Nice environment and good service!

Excellent place to grab some food. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Food was outstanding, delicious and fresh. Portions are big. Will be back

The food there is very tasty! Price and performance are also right. The staff is very, very friendly and tries to do justice to all guests. A good choice even with several people.

Great place, delicious food and the best beer I've ever had in Germany, 10-star service

THE restaurant for Palatinate cuisine. Everything homemade. Everything was super tasty. Multilingual, very friendly service. Everything is great here.

So fresh. So flavorish. You will not be disappointed.🇩🇪😋🇩🇪

Oldest house on site, well maintained

You can eat very good Palatinate cuisine here.

Very tasty food, especially the goulash was super tender, very good service, the best choice for regional cuisine

Cult restaurant in Kaiserslautern with Palatinate cuisine and wines

An absolute gem! The food was phenomenal. I can only recommend it to anyone who likes German cuisine. The service was also great, unfortunately you don't experience that so often anymore. I will come again, guaranteed!

If I get my food in a busy restaurant just over 5 minutes after ordering, then I have to ask the legitimate question about freshness. The oven roast was quite hard and tasteless, sauce was almost non-existent and the snowballs were completely seasonless and too firm. You could tell the food was warmed up. The bright spot was the tasty, warmed red cabbage. You should invest something in the sometimes shabby atmosphere.

Very nice place and excellent service. The food was not up to par.

Atmospheric place, purely German traditional cuisine. Everything is delicious.

Everything was very good. However, there was one big drawback: the schnitzels. The waitress assured us that the schnitzels were homemade. Unfortunately, this turned out to be untrue because it was Fertig Schnitzel. This was a big disappointment, especially given the otherwise high quality of the food. We had been looking forward to authentic, freshly prepared schnitzel and felt deceived by the false statement from the waiter. It's a shame that this incident marred the overall experience as the restaurant was otherwise welcoming and the atmosphere pleasant. Hopefully in the future more emphasis will be placed on honesty and transparency so that such disappointments can be avoided. Overall, good food with a serious minus point for the schnitzels and the honesty of the staff, thank you very much

We had a lovely evening with delicious food and drinks. Our service was great and we will be happy to come back.

It was already late in the evening, but still interesting. It will probably be better there during the day. LJ

If you're looking for something special and unusual for a night out, then you're in the right place at the almost 300-year-old Spinnrädl.

Great restaurant with very good cuisine and super friendly service

Atmosphere was great but food was not that good. Very mediocre. I had the rahm schnitzel and spatezle and found it to be very average.

Historic house with good quality food. Palatinate regional cuisine at fair prices with good portion sizes. You can sit inside and outside, even large groups have space. All employees are very friendly, helpful and flexible. There's nothing to complain about here. Just feel good!

One of my favorite restaurants in kaiserslautern. The food is delicious, and there is a nice selection of traditional dishes that are hard to find elsewhere.

Were there for the 2nd time...and the 3rd will definitely follow. One of the best restaurants I know. Mega, just mega

Very good Palatinate cuisine. I've been there several times with a reservation for groups of about 20 people. No pre-order necessary. In addition, the guest room also has the right rustic atmosphere.

Nice, Uhrigs restaurant in the city center. Good selection of local food and nice staff. However, I found the preparation of the food not quite optimal. A little under-seasoned and too dry, so nothing special.

Took visitors here on a Monday evening. Service and atmosphere were awesome. However, the food left something to be desired. Small portions for BIG prices. My food was lukewarm at best. Food quality was less than expected. In the future will be taking guests to other restaurants where food is much better and the prices are more reasonable.

Very nice little Palatinate restaurant Food is delicious and not too expensive. The parking situation is okay if you are prepared to leave a euro in the nearby Sparkasse parking garage. Otherwise great

Reservation is a must, as this place is often packed and known as one of the better local cuisine spots... The food was served very quickly, but not very hot. Unfortunately, it was a bit bland for my liking. I had high hopes for the spinach dumpling with shaved parmesan, but it left something to be desired. Positives - Lively Atmosphere and Fast Service Negative - The 4 dishes I tried left something to be desired and was served warm.

Very nice restaurant, great food, great service (they speak english and have english menus) and very nice atmosphere. Definitely suggested. I had the dark beer goulash and it was great

Good middle-class rustic restaurant. Price/performance fits. Always fully booked, so reserve!

We had a pleasant evening with good Palatinate cuisine with an optimal price-performance ratio, consistently friendly and courteous service (even though the hut was full), and a delicious selection of beers and wines. The only thing that wasn't quite ideal for us was that there was really zero time between courses. A few minutes in between would be pleasant if you sat comfortably together.

Wonderful classic Palatinate fare in no frills heritage locale.

The meat was very dry and portions were smaller than usual (still not small). Downstairs was very noisy but upstairs is so quiet you better bring your own entertainment. Service, wine and appetizers were great, but that doesn't make up for the bland main course. There's better options close by.

On Saturday we discovered this restaurant through Google Maps. The dishes were very appealing. It was around 2 p.m. and we got a spot, and there was a lot more room. The service was great, I've rarely seen such friendly people (students). The food was quick, freshly prepared and super tasty. Prices more than okay. We recommend!!

Always so delicious. I take everyone who visits here to try authentic German food and it never disappoints. The servers are nice and the food comes out quickly. They also have a really extensive variety of wine.

While looking for a restaurant with Palatinate cuisine, I came across the Spinnrädl. The restaurant is located in the oldest half-timbered house in Kaiserslautern. Although it was busy at lunchtime, we still found space upstairs. It's very cozy here. The staff was very attentive despite the stress. The food was very tasty. We chose the Palatinate plate and the pea soup. The food on the neighboring tables also looked very tempting. The selection of fine wines is also commendable. If we are in Kaiserslautern again, we will definitely visit the Spinnrädl.

Lower quality and qiute strange taste of food.

Very tasty and recommended Rustic ambience and hearty Palatinate cuisine It's always busy, so it's best to reserve a table

Nice, stylish place, the food is OK, but nothing special.

The food was so delicious, I would have liked to have had seconds at home.

Tradycyjna restauracja z oryginalnym klimatem. Miła obsługa i lokalna kuchnia w jednym ze starszych budynków w KL. Warto zajrzeć!

Very good food and polite staff. Full menue is available in English.

Authentic Germany food was delicious and service was great!

Tolles deutsches Restaurant mit lockerer uriger Atmosphäre. Als Vorspeise ist die Leberknödelsuppe immer gesetzt👍

Das Ambiente ist sehr gut, leider war beim letzten Besuch das Essen etwas fade was ansonsten nicht so ist.

Super freundliche Bedienung und das Essen war hervorragend.

Einfach mal abschalten und genießen

Essen war OK aber mit einem Wareneinsatz von 3 Euro kann ich die 14,90 für einen Schafskäse der eher eine Vorspeise war nicht nachvollziehen. Service hat ziemlich lange gedauert und es wurde ständig etwas vergessen. Die Lication ist sehr schön und zentral gelegen.

Lecker Essen. Leider hat man uns beim Schichtwechsel vergessen.

Ein altes Fachwerkhaus mit toller Weinkarte! Sehr freundlicher Service und gute bis sehr gute Küche. Absolut zu empfehlen!

Immer ein Erlebnis immer ein Top in der Altstadt

Nette Bedienung, leckeres Essen!

Wir waren begeistert vom Essen und vom Service. Das Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich. Kann ich jedem nur empfehlen! 👍

Sehr nette Bediengung, Essen war megalecker und ausgiebig

Sehr schön Rustikal. Nette Bedienung

Im einzigen, urigen Fachwerkhaus kann man gut essen. Auch für Vegetarier gute Auswahl. Netter und zuvorkommender Service

Traditionelles pfälzer Essen . Saugut!

very good local German restaurant. The place is cozy and nostalgic. The food is good, They make the most delicious liver dumpling soup.

Wir hatten die Käsespätzle und einen Flammkuchen. Das Essen war für uns alle ok. Aber hat uns nicht vom Stuhl gerissen. Den Spätzle fehlte etwas geschmacklich. Zum Dessert gab es den Schokokuchen. Dieser war auch nur in Ordnung und hat uns auch nicht so richtig überzeugt. Der Service war richtig freundlich und sehr nett. Das Essen bekommt 3 Sterne und der Service 5 Sterne. Wir werden wohl eher nicht nochmal wiederkommen.

Ein tolles Restaurant mit sehr gutem Essen und einen klasse Service. Sehr zu empfehlen.
