Haxnbauer in München

Service was good. Food wise above average but nothing to shout about.

Haxnbauer used to be a decent mid-high class local restaurant which features the best Schweinhaxen, fresh made. Before they cook it, they show you the uncooked raw Schweinhaxen, then grill it freshly. However I am disappointed that this mode has been obsoleted in the new restaurant. Now they don't offer fresh made one upon your order. And it's bad to read the owner of the restaurant replied to a customer that is because the pig was stressed...

I'm taking away one star because the pork knuckle was smaller than those served at other similar restaurants. I'm taking away another star because the price is 10-15% higher than similar restaurants. I'm taking away two stars because the waiter who served us was slow to take orders and included the tip on the bill. Your job is to ask if I want to give, and my will is to give what I consider, not what you want.

The pork knuckle was excellent. One of the best I've ever had. The location was great, and the waitress who served us was friendly, pleasant, and spoke a little Spanish. She also made an effort to adjust the food. A place we'd go back and forth to.

I was amazed by the helpfulness, kindness, and enterprising spirit of the waiters and kitchen staff at HAXNBAUER - Munich. The pork shank they served me for dinner, along with their beer, was a pleasant experience. I had a second helping of the sauce, along with the best pretzel with my second beer. Warm regards to the HAXNBAUER staff and Senjar.

Service is very poor. Negligence to us. We need no spicy food for my kid and suggested Penne Aurora, however, is spicy. No recovery was done. Also, we asked "no fizzy drink" and ordered "Blackcurrant Nectar" but arrived with fizzy. Asked the staff but they said this is what we ordered. Totally not suggested. ===================================== Further comment as per owner comment. 1. Service issue - When we came across question from two items we ordered and raised hand to ask the responsible man to come for assist, the drink man, just see me and ignore me. Then I try to stand up and ask him to come, then he ask me take it easy, but still move away. After I ask again and again, he came with a non-of-his business face and told him we asked "no fizzy drink" and ordered "Blackcurrant Nectar" but the drink we received was fizzy, he then said, "this is the thing we order, this is the thing we ordered", then move away. the food man, I try to reach, after several minutes, he came, and told him, we asked to order no "spicy" food, but the "Penne Aurora" is spicy. he then insist, this should not spicy and move away. finally, someone wear full black came and confirmed the drink we ordered should not fizzy and replaced with another one. while the penne, he promised to replace with another one for us, but finally nothing came. All my children are left with half empty stomach.

I think the pig's feet have a little taste~~ I can't put my finger on it. But the fried fish fillet is super delicious.

The food was okay, nothing particularly special, but solid. Unfortunately, the service significantly dampened the overall impression. When we asked for the bill, we were asked directly if we wanted to tip. Our negative reply was followed by a comment that "that's the only way she makes her money" – and then a rather rude exit from the table. She went back to get the bill, which she threw down on the table without a word. I understand that tips are an important part of income in the restaurant industry, but as a guest, you shouldn't be forced into such a situation. The employer should carefully consider whether such a worker is good for the establishment – I'm happy to identify the lady with the short, slicked-back blonde hair. Today, August 8, 2025, she was wearing a green traditional costume with black shoes. The most unfriendly service with an embarrassing ending.

I had lunch and the service was very good. The waiter, Joseph, was very nice and friendly. The food was perfect and delicious. Highly recommended. Denise Gebauer

The service and ambiance were great, but unfortunately the knuckles were nothing special! They were barely crispy, very small, and almost burnt!

We were very satisfied with our visit! The portions were really generous and delicious. We'd especially like to commend our waiter, Simon: He was very friendly, attentive, and quickly served us with drinks and food. We felt completely at home. Thank you for the great service; we'll be back!

The original Bavarian it is. There could be confusion with another Hax for most tourists. A full knuckle is recommended as it has more of crispy area. It's just probably too much for one person to finish up.

High prices, bad food, not great service… I don't recommend it.

A successful design, bright, Bavarian, cozy - delicious white sausage/pretzel and very friendly service

Delicious white sausages, served with friendliness and perfection by Simon! We'll be back.

The crispy pork knuckle had a nice crispy skin, but the pork was incredibly salty. The service was practically non-existent. We couldn't find anyone to order, and even after walking back and forth several times, we were kept waiting. It was crowded, a typical tourist restaurant, but we were there for the food, weren't we? It was definitely salty, though. Cost per person: 30 euros.

Very nice restaurant in Munich!

Please translate the following into German and English, thank you: I believe this restaurant has a serious problem with racism. My family and I went to dine there at 4:00 PM, and there were only about three other tables inside. Two white customers who arrived after us were given menus and instructions for the dishes. We sat there for about ten minutes, and no staff member came to offer menus or instructions. When we asked, we were simply told to "get your own menu." I believe this is not a good attitude towards customers, and I strongly suspect racism. Ich bin der Meinung, dass dieses Restaurant ein ernstes Problem mit Rassendiskriminierung hat. eine Erklärung der Gerichte. Wir saßen ungefähr zehn Minuten dort und kein Kellner kam, um uns eine Speisekarte zu geben oder uns zu beraten. dies für keine gute Einstellung gegenüber Gästen und hege den starken Verdacht auf Rassendiskriminierung. I believe this restaurant has a serious issue with racial discrimination. I went there to dine with my family at four in the afternoon, and there were only about three other tables of guests. Two white customers who came in after we were given menus and an introduction to the dishes. We sat for about ten minutes without any staff coming over to give us a menu or any information. After we proactively asked, we were simply told to 'get the menus ourselves.'

The food was very tasty and the service friendly 👍💪🙌🍺

We were there with some children. The restaurant is highly recommended and the staff is friendly. Simon served us; he was very friendly and provided excellent service.

The best pork knuckle restaurant in Munich The pork knuckle tastes wonderful. Great crust 😍 The pork knuckle salad is delicious. The potato pancakes are super tasty. I'd love to come back 🐷

Unfortunately, our visit was disappointing—primarily due to the unprofessional service. When we tried to order drinks, the waiter corrected us in a patronizing tone, even though he was clearly unfamiliar with the menu himself. The food was average, but the unpleasant atmosphere in the service area negatively impacted the entire experience. It's a shame, because the restaurant actually had potential.

Food was delicious but 4 star delicious, the service was unique and the ambience was also very nice

I had the roll and it was very good, however the prices are a bit higher due to the location in the city center but not outrageous, always happy to go back

We were greeted very friendly, the food was good but unfortunately a bit small for the price so I was still a bit hungry afterwards, otherwise you can't complain

Authentic Bavarian food in a spectacular setting. A brilliant experience. Haxnbauer is undoubtedly one of the best places to try traditional Bavarian cuisine in the heart of Munich. Located in a historic building, just a stone's throw from Marienplatz, the restaurant combines a rustic and elegant atmosphere with powerful, flavorful, and authentic cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of meat roasting in the wood-fired oven tells you what a treat you're in for. The signature dish, as its name suggests, is the "Haxe" (knuckle), served crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. It's cooked to perfection and served with classic sides like sauerkraut, potato salad, or bread rolls (Semmelknödel). They also offer versions of veal and pork knuckle, and you can order a half portion if you're not feeling very hungry. Everything is beautifully presented and served in generous portions. The menu includes other Bavarian specialties such as sausages, grilled meats, traditional soups, and typical desserts like Apfelstrudel, all well prepared and with a homemade flavor. They also have a good selection of local beers, including draft options that perfectly accompany each dish. The service was very attentive and professional, and they served us without any problem in English. They also speak English fluently and have an English menu. Everything is very well organized, the staff is prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere is lively but not overwhelming. The interior is beautiful: high ceilings, wooden beams, traditional but thoughtful decor, and an open grill where the knuckles slowly rotate over the fire, which adds a unique touch. They also have an outdoor terrace, ideal if the weather is good. Prices? For a centrally located, traditional, and high-quality restaurant, the prices are reasonable. It's not cheap, but the value for money is very good, especially considering the location and the overall experience. In short: Haxnbauer is a great option for enjoying authentic Bavarian food in Munich. Whether you're here for the first time or are already familiar with German cuisine, you'll enjoy it to the fullest here. Excellent dishes, authentic atmosphere, and first-class service. Highly recommended.

We had a takeaway, a Haxn-Leberkässemmel (ham hock with meatloaf) and a Haxn-semmel (ham hock with crust). Simply delicious!

Delicious but small portions, friendly service

Great location Friendly and efficient staff Tasty food Super-tasty knuckle of pork

I've been traveling around Germany for the past month, eating a lot of German food, and even had Schweinshaxe in other places. My first impression of Schweinshaxe was that it was soft on the outside and chewy on the inside. However, this restaurant's Schweinshaxe is not that good. I've seen some YouTubers rave about it, but the feeling I get when I eat it is that it's definitely not that good. If there's anyone who comes here just for Schweinshaxe, I'd like to advise against it. As a side note, the servers are very friendly. The beer is also very good. Great service, great beer, but tasteless Schweinshaxe is my review of this restaurant.

Food was really good service too, 10/10 would recommend.

Anyone looking for BAVARIAN cuisine should look elsewhere. The waitress rushes hectically through the aisles, menus are slapped on the wall right next to you, and you can only order another drink after being asked. In my opinion, the food consists of ready-made products – admittedly from well-known manufacturers (Burgis Knödel), but it certainly has nothing to do with our traditional Bavarian cuisine. The knuckle of pork is grilled in-house, but the accompanying sauce doesn't seem to be made from it. The noise level is very loud. Tourists and guests with lower standards will certainly feel at home here. We place more value on good food and a chef who refines each dish with a certain something. Therefore, this was our first and last time here…

The salad is top as is the meat, highly recommended

Nice services and the environment is cozy!

At Haxnbauer, you'll experience good Bavarian food and a typical pub atmosphere. In addition to beer, the menu also offers excellent wines at reasonable prices. The service was attentive to our group. I found it odd that when I entered the amount at the payment terminal, I was suggested an amount that would have included a truly astronomical tip. Was it a joke? A tactic to catch someone off guard? Are they hoping for the alcohol's effects? I found the behavior unworthy.

Closed more than 30 minutes early…

I went there after watching a YouTuber, and the potatoes were unique and delicious, and the haksen had a lot of portions and was just nice to experience. They forced me to tip. At first, I pressed to calculate 5%, but it didn't work, so they did it for me and added 10%. Even when I said I wanted to pay 5%, they said this and calculated it for me.

Place that tells many stories of the city

Very tasty food, great service.

Not at all recommended. The waiter who served us was very rude, bringing us an extra Coke, the Spritz, and the Coke in a glass, that is, from a carboy. He seemed unwilling to understand us, so we paid for the drink and left without ordering dinner.

I like crispy pig's feet, highly recommended 👍

A meal to forget! We were there for the second time today to give the restaurant another chance, and it was once again a complete disaster 🤮 Initially, after making a reservation, we were given a table in the back, in the far corner of the restaurant. I especially love it when everything is free at the front and they try to fill the waiters' stations, even if the guests would rather sit up front. We ordered a duet of veal and pork knuckle for a whopping €27. A tiny portion arrived on our plates in no time, which was embarrassing even for the waiter. He explained to us that we (!) should please tell the manager that we should put more than 200g of meat on our plates, as he had apparently already received numerous complaints. The whole thing was described as Gusto pieces on the menu. Congratulations, dear Kuffler Gastronomie! To call a simple piece of pork knuckle a Gusto Stück (a piece of goodness) and to cut two small, approximately 0.8 cm thick slices from the veal knuckle like a roast is truly a feat. The coleslaw tasted like a ready-made product; I'm guessing Kuffler. The crowning glory was the gravy, which was quite long, lacking in flavor, and thickened with Mondamin. I recommend seasoning the knuckles with pepper, salt, caraway, and garlic, guys. The quality was below meadow tent level! The customers were also speechless – a place clearly positioned to rip off tourists. The service was friendly and attentive, but they were obviously not satisfied with the quality of the food themselves. And then there were the lackluster beers from the Hacker. Sorry, but this was simply a complete gastronomic disaster, and I won't be setting foot in it again. If you're familiar with the old Haxnbauer (of which only the naming rights remain), disappointment is inevitable, and the restaurant's quality is significantly lower than the Haxenbraterei and other Bavarian restaurants in the city center. A shame, and in dire need of improvement...

Hacen and more... Centrally located restaurant in Munich. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Hacen Duett was very tasty, although the crust was a bit lacking in crispiness. The portions were generous and prepared with fresh ingredients. Friendly and attentive staff. Payments can be made in cash or by card. Good value for money

Great location next to Marienplatz. If you’re looking for a good Haxn you can’t go wrong with that place.

I don't care if it's a tourist magnet—the pork knuckle was crispy and delicious, the service was very attentive and friendly, and the place is super clean and tidy. Aldi is a must-go for anyone who likes crispy pork! 🫶 I'll be back.

The food and beer were delicious. The traditional ambiance and the waiters' outfits attract a lot of attention from tourists. The service was fast, polite, and friendly

This is our second time at Haxnbauer in Munich. Besides the excellent service from waiter Tony, the food is also good. We ordered the traditional pork knuckle and had some good beers. Very good! I hope to return.

This used to be one of my favorite place in the world. I, once, ate at the original place three nights in a row. It is not same anymore. The knuckle was all dried up, cold, and the skin was tough. Oven facing the street is just for a “show”, it wasn’t even on I don’t think. Never again.

Last Saturday, I was at Haxnbauer in the Old Town with friends – and what can I say? You feel welcome from the very first minute. The restaurant is super centrally located, right between Isartor and Marienplatz – perfect after a stroll through the city. But of course, it's all about the food – and Haxnbauer really delivered here. First-class pork and veal knuckles, marinated for 24 hours in their own spice marinade, and then slowly grilled over beechwood – tender on the inside, crispy on the outside, simply delicious. We had half and half and could hardly decide which was better – both were absolutely delicious. They also came with potato dumplings and red cabbage, all homemade. The service was excellent: prompt, attentive, and with a good sense of humor. They gave us some great recommendations throughout the evening (e.g., a beer recommendation from the small copper barrel of the Hacker-Pschorr brewery in the Salettl). Only the prices are mid-to-upper range for Munich standards (around €25–30 per main course), but definitely justified for the quality, ambiance, and service. In conclusion: If you're looking for really good Hax'n (ham hock) in a traditional, stylish setting—with super friendly staff and a convenient city location—this is the place for you. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. We can't wait to come back!

Food is good. Pork knuckle was soft, tender and crispy. Service is superb.👌

I got a knuckle of pork roll. The opening hours were from 11:30, but unfortunately, it wasn't open yet. I returned after 10-15 minutes and was really disappointed. For €8.50, there was barely any meat on the roll. All the hype online is for nothing!

Very tasty and the staff is really friendly. I'll definitely recommend you. I found you on TikTok.😂

6/23 (Monday) We ordered a combination of calf's trotter + pig's trotter, and Bavaria's unique white beer. In fact, there is not much difference between calf's trotter and pig's trotter. The meat is ok, but it is a little salty. It is very different from the German pig's trotter that children imagine. It is not crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and there is no sauerkraut. When checking out, the waiter took the initiative to ask: "10% is ok?" Dad didn't react for a while, so we paid a 10% tip. Before leaving, I actually studied the tipping culture. There should be no fixed tip in Germany. You can decide according to the situation. Most people usually give an integer. This meal was the only time we could sit down and eat in a restaurant in Munich. We gave up the Royal Brasserie and chose this pork trotter recommended by netizens that locals would also come to eat. Maybe our expectations were too high, and it didn't comfort us after taking a 13-hour flight~ But the beer was not bad, the bubbles were very dense, and there was a slight malt aroma.

The positive reviews must be for the speed of service and atmosphere, both of which are good. The flavour of everything we ate however was completely overpowered by salt. I really like salty foods but this was too much. The other thing that was very disappointing is the ‘special’ service charge which seems to be just for tourists: “I’ll just add 10% shall I?” said our waiter (having already added it) Tipping is not the norm in Germany so this is underhanded. There are better places to go than this

Definitely one of the best pork knuckles (Schweinshaxn) I’ve had in Munich. The sausages were very average, I wouldn’t recommend that. The crispy skin on the Schweinshaxn was perfect, best part. The meat underneath was a little too dry if I’m being picky. Service was great and it’s a nice place to come.

Unfortunately, I can only agree with what some have already criticized. The "gravy" not only looks like a ready-made gravy, it also tastes like one. The potato dumplings were rubbery... I can't say anything about the knuckle, because I didn't order any. But I gave the restaurant another chance and ordered a Swiss sausage salad. According to the menu, it was called Emmental... unfortunately, they used an unidentifiable cheese, which tasted like an imitation cheese... and looked like it, too. Very even stripes, like you'd find in supermarket salads. Besides, Emmental is known to have holes;) I've had much better in other Bavarian restaurants. I can't say anything about the service and ambiance, since I had the food delivered. I would have definitely pointed out the shortcomings in the restaurant...

The food at this restaurant is delightful. We had a half crispy pork knuckle, two meatballs (with potato salad and gravy), and a mixed salad. The pork knuckle was delicious, but the star of the show for me was actually the potato salad that came with the meatballs! When I told the server that I had a peanut and tree nut allergy, she took out a detailed allergen book and searched each dish. She was very kind, welcoming, and helpful. My only comment is that (as other reviews have mentioned) there is no air conditioning, which was very difficult for some in our party as it was 90+ degrees outside. I believe only the restrooms and downstairs area (no seating) has AC. The atmosphere was lively and I had a great time here. We arrived at 5:30pm or so and there were still open tables—after 6pm, it quickly filled up. I would recommend making a reservation in advance or arriving early! Overall, an excellent meal in München.

The pork leg is small and can be ordered as desired. The taste is good, not salty but not crispy. The mashed potatoes are hard like boiled flour. The sausages are small but come in 6 pieces. The beer is okay.

Unfortunately, it was disappointing. We came for the pork knuckles. The crust wasn't crispy, but rather wobbly and soft.

Unfortunately, the meat was extremely dry and barely edible – very disappointing for the price. The dumplings were fine, the sauce served separately – that was a good solution. The service was poor: no one asked if everything was okay, no opportunity to order more drinks. A conversation with the manager was possible, but it wasn't constructive. As a concession, €10 was silently deducted for drinks. A total of €64 for a meal that, in this form, is unfortunately not worth recommending. We won't be back.

Disappointing – neither the service nor the food were convincing We ordered the Haxnbauer Duet (pork and veal knuckle with dumplings, coleslaw, and gravy for €29.50). Unfortunately, the meat in both knuckles was very dry and disappointing in taste – definitely not worth the price. The dumplings and coleslaw were good, but that alone doesn't make up for it. The service was inattentive: We were ignored for a long time, weren't asked for more drinks, and our politely expressed criticism received no response – no comment, no apology. This shouldn't happen in a restaurant of this category. The ambiance was nice, but overall, unfortunately, we wouldn't recommend it. For us, it was our first and last visit.

Very good German food and delicious beer

Wonderful establishment and friendly staff.

Ella is a best sever in Munich!! Best food and best people!! Thanks a lot :)

It was a great experience. Crispy pork knuckles had very crsipy skin, yet tender meat inside. I tried one half beer and one wheat beer. Both of them were great, but half beer went excellent with pork knuckles. I asked for the musturd sauce, which went well with the crispy skin. I want to mention my waiter as well. I forgot to ask for his name, but he, being a foreign student, was very welcoming and warm, explaining all the questions about the food and beer I had. Best service I had in Munich so far. I was often disappointed with the waiter service at famous breweries in Munich, but here, the waiters were very bright and friendly, so I will leave with good memories of Munich. The food was great.

A culinary delight in the heart of Munich! The Haxnbauer is an absolute must for anyone who wants to experience authentic Bavarian cuisine. The atmosphere is quaint yet elegant, with rustic charm and a touch of tradition. The highlight? The pork knuckle, of course! Crispy on the outside, tender as butter on the inside – a masterpiece on the plate that you won't soon forget. The service also deserves praise: attentive, warm, and typically Munich. You feel welcome and well looked after. Whether for tourists or locals, the Haxnbauer offers an authentic experience that delights all the senses. A place you'll gladly return to – for the knuckle, the ambiance, and the feeling of being in the heart of real Munich.

Travelled for the pork knuckle and it definitely didn’t disappoint! Crispy outer shell with a moist flesh on the inside. Each pork knuckle weighed about 1kg each, which would best feed around 3 people. Service was quick and bathroom was clean. Only thing that could improve could be the service. Despite other people’s reviews, we were never offered ‘pork knuckles that we could choose from’, and was just brought a random one to our table. Thus if we would like a smaller pork knuckle, we were unable to choose so. In another review, the restaurant replied to the customer stating that they have waiters that will check in to ensure the food is good and that the quality of the pork knuckle is good and not dry. However not a single waiter checked in on us during our time there, despite us having our meal at 6:30pm where much of the restaurant was still empty. We had to even approach the front desk ourselves (which was empty) to find a waiter to make our payment for our meal Although these are just very minute issues, it would be nice to see that the restaurant lives up to its promise and deliver consistent service to all its customers. Apart from that, I would definitely return to Haxnbauer the next time I’m in Munich!

My husband says it was the best knuckle of pork he's ever eaten in his life. I had a truly amazing schnitzel, which I highly recommend. The service was charming and polite. We'll definitely be back.

It's a good restaurant atmosphere

Super delicious & prepared with love! Thank you also for the great service.

The service could really be nicer.

We got a snack to go today. It was the Haxnbauer Haxnbox. We ended up throwing two-thirds of the box in the trash. The description says "Haxnfetzen" (sliced ​​hax) and "Knödelgröstl" (roasted dumplings). I would have preferred some freshly shredded ham and crispy fried dumpling pieces. Instead, a drawer was opened, revealing squishy, ​​probably warmed-up ham hock meat without any crust. From a second drawer, the equally squishy dumpling slices were taken out. Unfortunately, we really didn't like it at all. The service was very slow and seemed very unsure. But they tried hard and were very friendly. Perhaps it was just one of their first days.

I’m a Korean-Canadian chef with over 15 years of professional experience and have been running a restaurant in Canada for 12 years. During my trip to Munich, I visited this restaurant after watching a well-known Korean YouTuber's positive review. I was genuinely excited to try a traditional Schweinshaxe here—but sadly, the experience was disappointing. The skin, which should be crispy, was hard and rubbery instead. The meat itself was extremely dry and lacked the rich, juicy flavor one expects from freshly roasted pork knuckle. I even found it difficult to swallow without drinking beer. The overall impression was that the dish had been pre-cooked and reheated, possibly due to low customer turnover. I came here expecting authentic Bavarian food, but unfortunately, the quality didn’t reflect that. I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but as someone who works in the culinary field, I believe honest feedback is necessary—especially for traditional dishes that represent the local culture.

Munich's top recommended German pork knuckle restaurant. I thought I had to come here for a pilgrimage, but maybe I had too high expectations. I was a little disappointed. There was nothing amazing, especially the sauerkraut. There was only a little bit of flavor. The draft beer was not cold enough and it was not refreshing enough. The other services and environment were impeccable.

6 of us went there for dinner at around 7pm on a Saturday evening, the outside sitting area was full but there were still plenty of tables available inside. We ordered a whole Crispy Pork Knuckle with potato dumplings. The waiter showed us 3 knuckles to choose from. 1 whole knuckle weighs about 1kg and it was plenty for sharing. The Mixed Salad was fresh and refreshing. We also ordered the Six Roast Sausages and the Original Kuffler Wiener Schnitzel. Overall food quality is very high. The meal was enjoyable and staff was very nice and friendly. Highly recommended. They also have Veal Knuckle available.

Unfortunately, I can not review this restaurant as we sat for 20 minutes without being served.

Wow. This is by far the best pork knuckle I've tried after all week! If you are visiting and only have time/stomach for one pork knuckle/shank, look no further. Just try this one. Came highly recommended by local friend.

The crispy pork knuckle is incredibly good—super recommend! Worth the visit just for that. The ambience isn’t great: no air conditioning inside makes it uncomfortable, and outside it’s hot and crowded with people passing by. Service is average, sometimes rude. But honestly, the pork knuckle makes up for it all.

It seems they moved from their previous location. As expected from a famous restaurant. You can get delicious Hakuse. I also appreciate that they offer smaller portions.

Place has a good energy. I had the Haxnbauer duet and was not disappointed! Pork knuckle had a wonderful crispy exterior.

Really nice food and servers, good place to go to get a genuine pork haxe!

Haxn ok: Good crust, but could be juicier.

Great place with a convenient location. The service was phenomenal—every staff member we interacted with was incredibly kind. The food can be a bit salty, but it worked well for our group’s taste. Highly recommend!

Always very nice and great waiters. Mr. Domink is very friendly and does a very good job. Grade: A+

Delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We come back every year from Basel 😋

Both the Schweinshaxe and the salad are delicious. It tastes similar to Korean pig's feet and bossam, but the skin is crispy and delicious. It didn't feel heavy when I had it with the salad :)

We picked up food here during our lunch break and were immediately pleasantly surprised by the service – very friendly and attentive. The dishes stand out for their individuality, which is definitely a plus. I had a Haxn roll, which I particularly liked: They use typical Bavarian ingredients – authentic and regional. My colleagues also really enjoyed it. For me personally, the meat was unfortunately a bit too fatty. If you like that, you'll definitely be satisfied here – but for my taste, it was a bit too much, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars overall. Still, an interesting concept and a friendly atmosphere!

We came specifically for the pork knuckle and we were not disappointed. Crispy skin and beautifully cooked meat. Half was enough for us and nicely washed down with refreshingly cold beer. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

We went to Haxen Bauer with great anticipation for an authentic Bavarian knuckle of pork. What we got was a carelessly prepared/reheated piece of knuckle with ready-made dumplings...no mustard or any side dishes on the plate. During our visit, the service staff stood around listlessly, more concerned with themselves than with the guests.

The Haxenbauer has moved from the Scholastic house to the valley. Unfortunately, the current ambience cannot keep up with the old one, the new furniture cannot decide between Bavarian kitsch (just look at the new logo) and purist canteen flair. Much more important: the knuckle. And it is actually different than before, I would say even better! In the Scholastic house, the knuckle was grilled over wood, so the aroma was particularly special. I don't think that's the case anymore. I think the knuckles are now cooked sous vide because the meat falls off the bone. The crust is bronze in color, sounds like a forest of leaves and is incredibly easy to bite and cut, it appears thin and “eater friendly”. That means: the former robust scholastic house knuckle has become the new, really very fine knuckle in the valley, all served with beautiful plates. I personally like the new version better. I would say I have never tasted such good knuckle, really refined. If you want to eat a great knuckle, you have to go to the Haxnbauer. The only drawback: the industrial potato dumplings and the loud music. If you pay €21.50 for half a knuckle, you can really expect homemade dumplings, and also the option of a bread dumpling. And I don't know how other people handle it, but when I go out to eat I usually have a conversation with the person I'm talking to. There’s no need for music. The city center, which has mutated into a pure shopping mall, is loud and tiring enough anyway. Oh yes, and the waiters do a great job. Anyone who complains here should do a shift themselves. So the knuckle is good, the service is good, the ambience is okay, but the knuckle has priority, hence 5 stars.

Not recommended. Overpriced and tastes rather so-so. The pork knuckle doesn't even come with sauerkraut... You have to order it separately. The service was okay. A place for tourists.

Delicious food, very polite service.

Only try the pork knuckle...meat was a bit dry but still nice.

We had a perfect table right next to the glass wall that opened onto the sidewalk. The waiter was very friendly and really quick, he had us 10 men completely under control with extensive drink orders. My pork knuckle was excellent, the crust was crisp and easy to cut, and the meat was juicy. The gravy that was served with it was also very good. The ambience is great, a very successful mix of traditional elements (especially the photos) and a newly renovated, modern but stylish interior design. We'll be back!

They told me not to even give them a receipt. They secretly charge a 10% tip, so be careful~~ The taste is just so-so and soggy~~

I said to give 2 Euro tip for the server. But he insisted on choosing one among 5%, 10% and 15%. I chose 5% and later found he claimed 10%. Worst treatment for generosity EVER

Delicious knuckle, nice ambience

Haxe was still raw. The two of us ordered a knuckle, which looked very good from the outside, but it was not yet fully cooked and we only noticed this when the pink meat juice was visible on the plate and left the food. When I complained about this to the really nice waitress, the young boss came to the table and said that the knuckle was cooked through and I had to pay for it. I showed him the bloody plate and said that a price like you can't judge what a Bavarian knuckle should normally be like and that he should continue to sell the food to the many Chinese and price people who were in the business because they might not notice or care about something like that. And that I'm happy to pay the bill because I don't want anything from him as a gift. It's OK for drinking beer and maybe a pretzel, but not for eating!

Had some fish and chips and got stomach sick for 2 days. We order an alcohol free beer and they brought one with alcohol so my friend got sick since she cannot drink alcohol. They never apologised for this.

The food is delicious and you can experience local specialties The dessert ice cream is delicious. Recommended.
