Gaststätte zum Dorfbrunnen in Grainau

We really enjoyed it, everything was freshly prepared, the staff was super friendly and the portions were huge, all in all a 10/10

The food was delicious. Unfortunately, we had to wait 45 minutes for our food.

Although it was just before closing time and packed, we were not instructed and were served very tasty food

Unfortunately, you only find out when you open the memory card (on the first page, which you normally skip over) that card payments aren't possible for technical reasons. The machine is 600 meters away, and otherwise there's no information. To me, it's more systematic to go to the trouble of printing out such a notice for dozens of cards instead of repairing the device.

Cash only and the nearest ATM is 600m away

This restaurant serves amazing Bavarian pork knuckle. Service can be a bit slow. But the food is well worth the wait.

The food here is highly recommended. The portions are generous and filling. The pork knuckle is tender and falls off the bone. It's worth a visit 😉

Everything was wonderful! The service was amazing! The food was delicious! The portions were huge! The beer was delicious! I recommend this place ❤️❤️❤️

I've never had such good Bavarian food. The portions were very generous and the quality was very, very good.

Beautiful terrace right on the village square. Delicious food and friendly service.

Unfortunately, the food at Dorfbrunnen didn't impress us at all. The potato rösti with mushrooms we ordered was extremely thin and so crispy that it was more reminiscent of chips – it had little in common with a classic rösti. It was topped with cheese and a few mushrooms, and the overall taste was disappointing. My partner had fried potatoes with Leberkäse (meatloaf) and egg. Here, too, the potatoes were very greasy and too crispy, and the Leberkäse (meatloaf) seemed to have been reheated several times and was accordingly dry with a hard crust. On the positive side, we should mention the beer selection (Tegernseer) and the pleasant atmosphere in the beer garden. The pancake soup as a starter was okay, but could have used a lot more seasoning. Salt and pepper at the table would have helped. The service was overall okay, but not particularly attentive. Perhaps we were simply unlucky with our choice of dishes, as the reviews and photos online seem much better. However, we wouldn't recommend either of our dishes.

Great restaurant. We frequented multiple times during our stay in Grainau. Nice outside seating and good selections of food and beverages.

Best pork knuckle, best service, thank you for everything

I had a Wiener schnitzel with fried potatoes and a side salad. The salad was really delicious. The rest was relatively tasteless. Service was average. Wait time was pleasantly short.

Huge portions, delicious, fair prices, and an incredibly beautiful setting. No card payments.

Good Bavarian food at a good price, well presented. Very friendly staff were more than happy to accommodate for a small deviation from the menu. Loved the Kaiserschmarrn dessert! Thank you.

Yes, definitely. The service and food were very good. Prices were low, and the food was plentiful.

Four of us ate here and were guided by the good reviews – unfortunately, a big mistake. Upon arrival, we noticed that many guests were waiting outside. The food took a very long time to arrive and wasn't served at the same time, which was also noticeable at other tables. The quality of the food was catastrophic: • The potato pancakes with mushrooms were nothing but burnt. • The fried potatoes tasted like a convenience store product and had obviously never seen a pan. • The fried egg was completely burnt and dry, as was the meatloaf. We had to return one dish – absolutely inedible. We received similar feedback from other guests. Summary: Inedible food, long waits, and quite expensive. Apparently, they can't handle the rush. It's a real shame that we had to go through this experience.

It was super delicious, and the service was very friendly. There was nothing to complain about. Great value for money.

We ate there twice in four days ;) The portions are huge (2 large schnitzels) and super delicious: Schnitzel, Käsespätzle, roast pork with dark beer sauce, and Kaiserschmarrn. Fast service despite the restaurant being packed. Many other restaurants require a table reservation, but they still make it possible. Keep up the good work!

Very good and definitely recommended.

We were there once and ordered dessert and hot drinks. They brought the drinks right away and only 12 minutes later the dessert, when everything had cooled down, besides, we asked when the dessert would be and the waiter promised - yes, it is ready any minute, in the end we waited and everything cooled down. When we asked to just heat it up (not make new ones) they started telling us that they would not do this and that we had to immediately indicate that they would bring it together. We go to cafes/restaurants quite often - and this is the first time (regarding hot drinks), but oh well, in the end after the "lecture" they made us new drinks. We liked the dessert, but the drinks are not worth the money at all, the tea was like from Lidl for 1.5 euros. Well, ok. We came a second time and ordered meat on the bone. Everything was perfect here, there was a different waiter, everything was clear - as it should be. And the food was delicious. I'm taking off a point only for the "misunderstanding". In general, you can go. 👌

The food was delicious. The portions were more than generous, and the quality was excellent.

Charged €2 for an empty plate? That's unacceptable...

The food tastes really good! The prices for the dishes are satisfactory for this location (given that it's a tourist destination). Unfortunately, the service is rather lacking. They only respond when glasses are empty and only clear away ready-to-use plates upon request. There's room for improvement there.

The food was delicious and everyone was very friendly. Prices were reasonable. We ate there almost exclusively during our vacation.

We had a reservation and received a friendly welcome. Since it wasn't busy yet, we were able to order promptly. That quickly changed, and it became more of a mass-processing experience. The couple next to us couldn't order their drinks until we were almost finished, even though they arrived shortly after us. Empty glasses were ignored, even though three servers repeatedly walked through. The children's food arrived after ours, and it probably wouldn't have arrived at all if we hadn't asked for it. We had the Gröstl, which I actually really like, but it was the first Gröstl I've ever had without meat. It was more like bridal potatoes with bacon.

My sisters and I were there for the first time on vacation. We found this restaurant by mistake, but I must say that from the first night to the last, we always dined there. It's a beautiful place and the waiters were not only very kind but also made us feel at ease. I work in the industry and I observed carefully and I can assure you that they pay attention to everyone equally... We will return with great pleasure and I recommend everyone to try it at least once. With pleasure Cristina Treviso

The food was great and portions were truly generous. Will definitely recommend to visit this place. But have some cash with you as they do not accept cards.

Best cheese spaetzl to take away

Schnitzel with fried potatoes is highly recommended!! 😌 Lillet Wildberry and Aperol Spritz also taste very good 👍

Given the high rating of the restaurant, we expected much more. Large portions, but no vegetables, very below average taste. Oversalted fish fingers. Baked potatoes with schnitzel - coated in paprika - why??

Good food and solid service, nice views and fair prices

The food served its purpose and was filling, but the taste wasn't particularly convincing. The dishes seemed rather bland overall, some of them even oversalted or slightly burnt. The farmer's bread was very reminiscent of standard mixed bread from the supermarket and didn't seem particularly special.

The price-performance ratio is absolutely fine, the home-style cooking is good, and the portions are large. The staff is very friendly.

The service and ambiance were good, but the potatoes on my schnitzel with fried potatoes were very disappointing. They weren't crispy or browned at all. Perhaps it was due to the crowds, but nonetheless, my expectations weren't met.

Unfortunately, the homemade Obatzer cheese was from a bucket... from the "Alpenhein" company. Poor-quality frozen schnitzel from the fryer, mushrooms for the cream sauce from a jar or can. Horrible.

We went two times in a row because was so great.

The best Kaiserschmarrn I've ever eaten. The other dishes were also delicious and plentiful. We'd love to come back!

Very friendly service and excellent food! The pork knuckle was a generous size, challenging even the most experienced eater to devour. Highly recommended!

Very good food, the knuckle of pork is also highly recommended. Disadvantage: Only card payments are accepted!

Great and very sufficient food!!!

A very good restaurant with very generous portions and fair prices! Delicious beer, friendly and attentive service! We'll be back anytime!

Very nice food, with quite a few Bavarian dishes to choose from.

We were there on vacation, and we stopped here at the end of the day. The food is huge, you should definitely know what to expect beforehand, otherwise you'll quickly overestimate yourself. The taste is very good.

A lovely inn, as the name suggests, by the village fountain. We sat outside, so I can only comment on the beer garden, and it was very nice. The service was very pleasant and friendly. The food was tasty, but I ordered Gröstl (a kind of German dish), and anyone who knows what it's like expects crispy baked fried potatoes with bacon, preferably from a cast iron pan. I was disappointed, because the fried potatoes were soft and anything but crispy. I have no idea what the kitchen did. Just reheated them? Definitely not Gröstl. A shame!

Very cozy, a fantastic team, and the food is plentiful and delicious.

The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The staff was very friendly and, despite not having a reservation, they tried their best to arrange a seat.

The food is excellent, but the service could be nicer.

A very nice inn, but unfortunately, it's difficult to get a table without a reservation (so I definitely recommend booking). There's enough choice for everyone, and you'll definitely be full! Aside from that, the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

I had a knuckle of pork that was very large and crispy. The chef, in particular, is very accommodating. We had a great time with him as part of a larger group; it was a very enjoyable evening, so we came back the next day.

Absolutely delicious food, no long wait, very friendly staff. I can't understand some people who only give 1 star because they can't pay with card....maybe these people don't even know what cash is anymore.

I highly recommend the Dorfbrunnen restaurant to everyone! Great schnitzel and a superb roast pork with a huge portion! Very attentive service and a rustic, cozy atmosphere! Keep up the good work! 😀

Very nice restaurant. Friendly staff and generous, tasty portions.

The boss is very friendly and funny, we had a very nice evening, the food and the schnapps was very tasty

Very good meat dishes and extremely friendly service.

The food was good. Great roast pork. The outdoor seating is nice. I'd go back.

Plenty of choice, good service, and delicious food. Portions are generous. The price/quality ratio is good.

Great food, very friendly, would love to come back

Very good food, very good portions, very friendly staff, highly recommended, my daughter and I are very satisfied.

Super local food. Don’t miss out the roast pork with red cabbage, roasted goat cheese, cheese Spaetzle, and mushroom cheese Rosti.

Very friendly and attentive service. Highly recommend the Wiener Schnitzel!

After waiting 40 minutes for drinks, I just got up and left. Never experienced such bad service. 0 stars!

The restaurant was very cozy, the staff very friendly, but the schnitzel wasn't impressive. The roast pork and dumplings were very good, but the sauce was not.

The food was great and the staff was very friendly.

Very beautiful place. The food is delicious with large portions.

We can only recommend the restaurant; the food was delicious and the service was quick and friendly!

Highly recommended. The service is attentive and the food is plentiful and very good. 👍

Very tasty, clear menu, generous portions. Highly recommended. Anytime again.

Very good food, especially friendly staff, simply top

Loved it. Friendly, helpful and patient service

We had a very good meal here and received very friendly service. The value for money was also excellent. We highly recommend this restaurant.

It's actually a nice location, but a few details are a bit annoying: after 8:00 PM, there's no more food coming out of the kitchen, the music over the speakers is inappropriate and too loud; a request to turn the music down a bit was reluctantly granted, but the volume was raised again after a short while. Card payments are unfortunately not available at the moment due to technical problems. The food is more or less recommendable depending on the dish: the Jägerschnitzel with spaetzle was really good, I would definitely order it again. The meatloaf, on the other hand, was bland, and the gravy was simply salty with no other flavor. The fried potatoes and salad were quite tasty. The prices are completely reasonable for the region. A little friendlier service and a little more refinement with the meatloaf, and you'd be happy to come back.

Really good, solid food, and friendly service. A special request—a schnitzel to go—was fulfilled. Card payments are easily accepted! I'd be happy to come back!

We ate here twice during our vacation. Very good food, friendly staff. The only thing that bothered me a little was that the tables and chairs were very sticky.

I was very satisfied with my visit! The potato rösti was excellent, crispy, well-seasoned, and prepared with lots of love. The service was also top-notch. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I felt completely at home. Highly recommended!

Anyone who likes to eat well and in abundance

The food was okay, but they haven't accepted card payments for months "for technical reasons." A no-go these days. Service could be friendlier.

We had a schnitzel and a kasespatzle, tasted good but unfortunately a bit dry. Service was unfortunately not really with a smile and they had not taken into account that if you come with a baby that you also bring a stroller.

Very nice restaurant with a beer garden, right by the road, but with limited traffic. We quenched our thirst and had a snack here. It was far too busy for us up at Eibsee.

We're on vacation here in Grainau. We stopped here spontaneously for dinner because rain was approaching. When a thunderstorm broke out, we escaped from the terrace and went inside, and even though we had reservations inside, we got a table without any problems. The service was very friendly... our knuckle of pork, fried potatoes with a fried egg, and salad arrived promptly and were very tasty. After dinner, the storm had passed, the terrace had been wiped dry, and we sat outside to make room for our reservation... All this within an hour's stay and without any stress.... SUPER Reservations are still better, though, because we see that the place is always full.

Very authentic cuisine and very friendly staff who are happy to accommodate any extras. We have rarely been greeted so warmly and warmly.

The service was quite overwhelmed. It felt like total chaos.

Cozy restaurant with very friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommended. We'd love to come back ☺️

Best Kaiserschmarrn I've ever eaten. Incredibly good!

Hey guys, there's a lot of light, but unfortunately, there's also a bit of a dark side that's a bit annoying. The food was really OK, the reservation worked perfectly, the prices were fair, it was busy, and the service was still excellent... everything was top-notch so far. But why on earth do you have a super modern electronic ordering system, but don't accept card payments, and unfortunately, the service is significantly downgraded? You really should change that... it's not up to date! Otherwise, we'd be happy to come back; the rösti and schnitzel were great!

Yes, we didn't have a reservation, but the waiter quickly found us a table and offered to add two other nice people. That worked out perfectly. The food was excellent. Thanks again.

Very good food, quick and friendly service, reasonable prices, absolutely worth recommending! Huge portions and a good selection of drinks are also included. The roast pork with beer sauce is amazing!

Great food and service. We ate outside, and the table/chairs were very clean. The pork knuckle was amazing.

We had a delicious meal in the beer garden...everything was perfect!!!

Very long waiting time and only cash

Fantastic food, good service We really enjoyed it

Every single dish we ate was excellent. We had to wait a long time because there were too few staff on duty on a holiday, but the two of them were very friendly. (A short blonde and a short Indian man) We didn't understand the role of the other employees (tall, always with their cell phones in their pockets), and they weren't attentive.

Great restaurant with a wide selection of dishes! The rösti was delicious and arrived very quickly! We'd be happy to go back!

Nice terrace at the village pump. Traditional Bavarian dishes, fresh, ample, and swiftly served. I would have rated 5 * if we had been allowed to sit inside but that seemed out of the question for reasons unknown to me.

The pork knuckle was good. The cheese spaetzle tasted reheated, but the fried onions weren't fried at all; they were much too soft and not browned at all.

Everything we ate was super delicious. It was the best fried meat of my life!

Red cabbage from a jar, dumplings not good quality, but meat was good

The food was excellent! The knuckle of pork was tender and fell off the bone easily. The skin was very crispy! A proper knife was provided for properly cutting the rind. The dumplings were plentiful, and the beer sauce was very flavorful. The cheese and potato rosti was very tasty, albeit a bit overcooked. The salad was well dressed, but it could have used a bit more dressing. The service staff made a real effort to be friendly. You'll definitely need some patience, as there are quite a few tables to be served. We were satisfied.

Nice service and very good food!!
