Gaststätte Stövchen in Karlsruhe

The meal, consisting of one small breaded schnitzel (it used to be two) and six croquettes, is simply too little for €12; a single lettuce leaf was included as a garnish. The taste was okay. It used to be good value for money, but not anymore. Everything else was fine.

The service was fantastic, with a lovely and attentive waitress. The food was excellent. The price was reasonable. I'll definitely come back whenever I'm in Karlsruhe.

We liked it very much! Very tasty beer and food

So, my wife ate a schnitzel... The fries were too hard, the schnitzel had more breading than meat, and it was so greasy that over an hour later it still tasted really greasy and disgusting in her mouth! I'm a chef myself, but I would never serve something like that, not even to my enemy. Absolutely revolting! We weren't even asked if we wanted anything else to drink, even though our glasses had been empty for a while. The next room where we were sitting was also cold, and several people were wearing jackets. A really bad place!

A delicious currywurst with fries for 11 euros

My meal didn't meet my expectations, and there was no response from the kitchen to my complaint. When I paid, I wasn't even offered a coffee as compensation and was charged the full price. It's a shame; I used to really enjoy going there. December 16th Update: Still no response. Very disappointing. This shows how important each individual customer is, since new ones come in every day... I will avoid this restaurant in the future.

Unfortunately, it was fully booked; we hadn't reserved online. You're definitely on our list for our next visit to Karlsruhe.

We stumbled upon Stövchen for the first time yesterday. Based on our experience, we'd love to come back anytime... Top-notch service, a welcoming atmosphere... Our fluffy table companions were the highlight of the evening. We'll definitely be back. Best regards, Eightschpie and Team

Great food. Very friendly staff and not too expensive. Good for students and for lunch during their lunch break.

From the local pub to "If it absolutely has to be" - a real shame.

Fresh juices were incredibly refreshing.

Nice place. Looked a bit closed from outside, but indoors was super cozy

I've known this pub for over 30 years. It's a Karlsruhe institution. I recently returned after a long time and was disappointed to find that they no longer serve Flammkuchen! It was practically the Stövchen's trademark. The Flammkuchen creations with their imaginative names were what the Stövchen was always known and loved for. That's why I'm deducting a star, unfortunately. "Shepherd Boy," "Gardener with a Bite," and all the others... I miss you.

I absolutely loved this place!! So friendly and great food, they even offered small plates for snacking.

We hadn't made a reservation but still got a table very quickly. The schnitzels were good, just the portions were a bit small.

Unfortunately, there are no more tarte flambées on the menu...

Nice student bar. Simple but delicious food.

I really enjoy eating there. Whether with my parents, friends, or friends with children, I'm always in good hands. The staff is very attentive. The food is always good and arrives very quickly.

Affordable food. Friendly staff.

Great service and interior! The pulled pork with fries and salad was delicious.

The tarte flambée tastes great! The potatoes are good too.

I've always been very satisfied here; the food is great and the atmosphere is relaxed. Prices are also OK.

Friendly service, delicious food

Absolutely good food and the beer is a dream that's what a Bavarian says

I had delicious schnitzels. They were a bit smaller than I'd hoped, but the quality was good. Luckily, I'd ordered an extra currywurst. My wife had quite enough, so it was my fault. It had a delicious beer and a great meal.

The atmosphere is great, but unfortunately, the delicious tarte flambée and the small salads are no longer available. The food has lost some of its quality. It used to be a cult pub!

Delicious food at reasonable prices inside, on the traffic-calmed street, and in the beer garden. Unfortunately, the chairs outside are a bit uncomfortable for me, as a grown person over 1.9m tall.

The atmosphere in the beer garden was excellent, and the service was also very attentive. Unfortunately, the food was a mixture of convenience foods with no flavor.

Everything's great. What's really annoying, however, is when someone smokes iqcos outside. Unbearable.

Very good service, friendly and quick...you don't get used to that anymore...delicious food, delicious beer...perfect evening

A super nice pub in the heart of Karlsruhe! The service and prices are fantastic, and the selection is huge! You'll always find something you like.

Very tasty food, but it takes a little too long for the food to arrive after ordering.

A place open for lunch at somewhat unusual hours for the area... but it seems that beer gardens are havens for enjoying a good beer and a dish at any time of day. Despite our doubts about the language and the menu, we ate very well, and the atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxed. Except for the usual blowflies and wasps, which we've encountered in many outdoor establishments.

I've known the Stövchen for a long time. I find it very cozy, honest, and reliable. You know what to expect. The service is always very friendly. And there's always something to eat.

Tasty good, service was also great

Very cozy restaurant; we went to a busy spot. We still managed to get a seat, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. I'm happy with the portions and prices.

Very tasty food, top service and good prices.

I had a vegan currywurst with fries, which were really delicious.

A super fun cafe with sidewalk cafes and indoor seating. Limited menu, but super friendly and very fast service. Portions are a bit smaller than usual in Germany. But a dessert (of the week) fills it up. Also visit the restroom, if only for the fun tiles.

Friendly service, nice beer garden, good beer selection - gladly again

Good place to eat. A pleasant atmosphere inside and the same on the terrace. The dishes are large. The background music is pleasant.

Top service, delicious food and a cozy atmosphere...

Always delicious food, including lunch. Great value for money.

Great location, affordable and for

I've never experienced anything like this anywhere before (and I've been to a lot of places). I like going to the Stövchen with friends and family. But not anymore from today onwards. It was raining and the tables and chairs (all plastic) were a bit wet. I went in and just asked if we could still sit outside. They should have just quickly wiped them down with a cloth. Then the employee behind the counter, where four or five employees were standing around, shot me back that there wasn't enough capacity to wipe down a table and two chairs. It really wouldn't be possible right now. But she could kindly give me a cloth and wipe them herself. And she did this in a tone that would never have occurred to me in my many years of experience in the restaurant industry. I'm sorry, but there is an urgent need to instruct the employees that sound is everything.

Schnitzel with fries is always a hit. There's something for every taste. The winter garden is very cozy.

Excellent meals with great value!

I occasionally come here with a few work colleagues, and the food, drinks, and atmosphere are all excellent. It's not without reason that we choose the same place again and again.

Although the prices have increased considerably here, they're still relatively fair. For me, the Stövchen is a permanent fixture in Karlsruhe 👍

Good little restaurant, inexpensive, generous German dishes, attentive and welcoming waiters, small terrace on the street or larger one on the interior courtyard, in short, a place to visit.

This place is perfect if you don’t feel like pulling out that old box of Frozen Food from your freezer and cooking it, but rather have this establishment pull their Frozen Food from their freezer and warm it up for you. Quality and flavour is not something to be expected here. If you want a cheap meal just to fill your stomach up, this might be it.

Cozy, not pretentious. Delicious food and good service.

Super fair prices, very generous portions, and a cozy beer garden atmosphere in a super friendly location. I'm also happy that they offer a few vegan dishes!

My girlfriend and I were extremely satisfied! Very charming service and a lovely restaurant, freshly prepared food (top quality, very tasty!), and incredibly fair prices! I can't believe something so wonderful still exists today! We won't hesitate for a second and will be back as soon as we're in the area :-) J

Beer, schnitzel and long drinks were all recommendable and at fair prices.

Price-performance ratio is good and one or two restaurants can learn a thing or two from this

Picturesque place with magnificent service, we had a very good dinner.

Very cozy and super friendly service. The food was delicious and the value for money was also very good. I'd be happy to go back.

We ate here as a family. Everything was simply perfect. We'll be back.

A very nice, local and authentic lunch place. Good recommendation for Kasespatzle of which I got a big serving. Staff is nice too.

Old-fashioned and not very chic.. very pleasant service

Amazing German food, great portion sizes. Great beer, and friendly and helpful staff. Was in the area for 5 nights and ate here 3 of them would have been 4 nights but the place was packed one night so couldn't get a table. Highly recommend it for any other out of towners if I'm back in the area I will definitely be back.

Nice student bar, I've visited it several times. Cheap and with a good selection.

Nice place! The food is delicious, the girls are super nice and cool, the beer 🍺 is extra! I recommend 🫶

Great curry Wurst and a great beer. I also recommend ordering a bottle of chilled Gruner Weltriner. Great service. Short waiting time.

Totally cozy! The staff are super friendly, and the food is great value for money. It's a shame we live so far away. But we'll definitely be back.

I always like to come by when I want to treat myself to a little something at a good price and a good beer in a relaxed atmosphere in Karlsruhe.

It was a nice service and nice food

One of the oldest beer gardens in Karlsruhe. Always a very pleasant visit. Excellent food, service, and definitely worth a visit for any Karlsruhe girl 😉

A very nice restaurant, the food was great and the staff were quick and friendly.

Cult pub with a beautiful beer garden and great prices. Hearty food, just like you would expect from a beer garden. Absolutely unbeatable value for money.

All in all great!! Super nice service. Would come again and again!

Very quaint restaurant with friendly service. Delicious food. Gladly again

We went there spontaneously for lunch...Very nice service. The food was delicious and the portions were sufficient. Would love to come back... Update... Were there again... Just as great as the first time... Delicious, funny, cute...

Very tasty food, great service and a nice little beer garden in the back yard… we’ll be happy to come back

A great meeting place for young and old. Students sit next to young families with children and grandparents... Everyone can find something delicious to eat and the service team is also on point. Perfect for starting the weekend or taking a break during the week.

Very nicely furnished with a great outdoor area in the yard. Fast service and super friendly. Price performance for food top. I'd love to come back.

The staff was friendly, the food was prepared quickly and tasty. I would go back at any time :)

I'm totally thrilled, the price-performance ratio is more than perfect, very affordable, super tasty, large portions, fast and very friendly service and requests were addressed individually. Absolutely great, we will definitely be back soon.

Ambiance is cozy. If you can't even make fries then I don't know what the rest of it will be like. The service makes an effort, but if the store is full, more staff would make sense.

We landed here for a stopover. We were super satisfied. Super attentive friendly service. The portions are large and sufficient. The prices are great. The beer selection is large. We'd love to come back! Oh yes! You should reserve!

Nice service, good value for money.

That's exactly how you imagine a cult restaurant or a really good beer garden: deafening noise, full house, busy and quick staff - and everything just fits! The portions are generous and the price is really attractive – no one goes home hungry here. Particularly worth mentioning: the homemade cakes. Be sure to leave room for it! The atmosphere is exuberant, warm and contagious. I would come back in a heartbeat.

The atmosphere is once again good.

Super nice staff, food for the price great, cleanliness excellent! Here we are regular guests and will always stay ❤️

Delicious dishes, friendly service. Good price/performance ratio

Really good - rustic and simple, but very skillful...👌👌👌 Mega-friendly service, great value for money, great atmosphere, I'm really excited 😍 I'll be happy to come back here very soon.😁

My favorite restaurant for years - here they have the best cheese spaetzle ever! Spicy cheese, crispy fried onions and always consistently delicious. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is cozy – I always like to come back!

Very tasty food and very friendly staff. Unfortunately there were no burgers on the menu, even though it was stated online.

Guys, I can't believe it, there are no more tarte flambées in the warmer!!!,🥺. I would never have thought that possible, warmers and tarte flambées have always been one and the same since I've known them! Of course they also have other good things and the staff is great, but you should think again about the tarte flambée!!

Very nice service and delicious food.

Had dinner with colleagues, we stayed until the end! It was a super relaxed evening 🍻 the price performance was really great and the waiters were really nice! 🙏😁 We felt in great hands. We're already looking forward to summer when we sit outside. All the metal signs inside are really cool too 🔥

Good service, no change of location since 20 years, but the portions got a lot smaller.

Nice small kneipe with real student feeling, transports me back. Food is ok-ish, student bar level. Waiters are nice and friendly. Beware kitchen closes 21.45 and drinks 22.30 Important: no flammkuchen anymore 😪, search is wrong.

Yes, I highly recommend it. For the money, there was plenty on the plate.

Extremely cozy. 20 years ago, delicious cocktails were served in the courtyard, but sadly not anymore. I'd love to go back...

I have already eaten twice at Stövchen and I was extremely satisfied both times! Large portions (good quality!), relatively cheap prices and a cozy atmosphere in Karlsruhe center. Couldn't ask for more. As a vegetarian, I definitely recommend the Ofenkartoffeln and Käsespätzle! I invited two friends over for lunch during their first visit to Karlsruhe and it made our day! 😉 Thanks a lot!

We arrived here after 9 of 12 beers (4.5L beers) on the golden mile. All we wanted was another beer. The waitress offered us peanuts out of compassion. We then thought that these were free. When we paid, it turned out that they cost €3.80. The peanuts weren't even roasted! Usury!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just loved being here for decades 👍

Delicious food for a good price and, especially when the temperatures are warm, you can sit nicely in the courtyard. The portions are also very large.
