Herrenkeller Ulm in Ulm

We visited Herrenkeller for lunch today and enjoyed some Swabian specialties. First, I'd like to commend the very warm welcome and the excellent service 👍...since I have very high culinary standards, I was really looking forward to our meal...what can I say? I had the braised ox cheeks with Spätzle and vegetables...simply heavenly! The vegetables were crisp, the meat superb, and the sauce was divine. My tip: if you're in Ulm, go to Herrenhaus. The service is fantastic, the atmosphere amazing, and the food is to die for...I'd give it 1,000,000 stars if I could. Thank you so much for the incredibly delicious meal; we'll definitely be back! 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️🍺🇨🇭Christoph, Jasmin, and Caro from Switzerland

Excellent Swabian cuisine, reasonable prices, very attentive service. Since many locals go there (clubs, for example), it was very noisy when we were there. This might be bothersome if you're looking for something quiet.

High-quality, traditional cuisine. Very friendly service staff.

The english translations on the menu were highly appreciated. The food was very well made and the staff was amazing.

A very delicious local restaurant, with generous portions and a fantastic dining environment.

We stopped here briefly for dessert and a beer. The atmosphere is really cool and authentic, and the service is very friendly. I think we had the apple and sugar bread. It was delicious and went perfectly with the ice cream. A real treat!

They serve very tasty, very reasonably priced lunch dishes here. There is a choice between a vegetarian and a meat dish.

Cool food and drink menu, looks like a newspaper. The pancake soup has a unique flavor, very special, but absolutely delicious. My wife and I had two vegetarian dishes and were very impressed. Attentive staff.

We were on our way home from Tübingen and made a stopover in Ulm. We happened to end up having dinner at the "Herrenkeller." It was fantastic. The restaurant is quaint and cozy. The service was exceptionally friendly and the food was delicious. The presentation was lovely, and the generous portions were beautifully presented at a very reasonable price. If the opportunity arises, we'll definitely be back.

They serve incredibly delicious Swabian specialties here, including, of course, the pan-fried Maultaschen (filled pasta pockets), which are especially tasty here. The boiled beef with horseradish sauce, a weekly lunchtime special, was excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff were all exceptionally friendly, attentive, and courteous. Our visit here was a highlight of our city tour.

The dishes are incredibly good.

• Excellent Swabian tapas • Delicious Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle) • Daily special for €10 – simply fantastic 👍 very tasty • Delicious Swabian Maultaschen (filled pasta pockets) 🤤 Highly recommended! ☝️

Very nice restaurant, excellent cuisine, friendly staff.

A lovely brewery pub in Ulm. Good food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. Always a pleasure to visit when in Ulm.

A rustic restaurant in the old town serving traditional Swabian cuisine. Always worth a visit.

A charming restaurant with wonderfully hearty, traditional food and a lovely atmosphere. The service was particularly noteworthy, both the very young lady and the friendly young gentleman. We felt like our beloved grandchildren were waiting for us. I've never been so happy to leave a generous tip.

Great food, great service! The fried potatoes could have been cooked a little more, but they tasted great nonetheless. 👌🏼

Warm, homemade, delicious and cozy.

Historic restaurant, very good food, only Goldochsen beer, reasonably priced, outdoor seating, friendly service, unfortunately a bit drafty due to historic windows when it's windy.

This restaurant in Ulm's old town is incredibly cozy, clean, and rustic. Great atmosphere. Very friendly, nice, and helpful staff. Delicious, fresh food. Excellent value for money 👍. We'll definitely come back here when we're in the area again. Best regards.

Good Swabian cuisine...cold cellar beer from a stoneware mug, what more could you want???

We found this restaurant by chance and it was a pleasant surprise...the staff is welcoming and very helpful, the food is excellent...we'll definitely be back.

We were a large group of nine people. I made a reservation online, and everything went perfectly. The atmosphere is rustic and traditional. The food was excellent, with generous portions. The roast beef with onions and cheese spaetzle is highly recommended. There was something for everyone. The staff were attentive and always friendly. We paid at the counter. We'll definitely be back.

Tasty Swabian food, and friendly staff 😀

We found our visit to the Herrenkeller to be quaint, friendly, and cozy. Glasses were polished, the beer was lively and delicious (Goldochsen on tap). The lentils with Spätzle were good, the Spätzle especially so. The Maultaschen (Swabian ravioli) were excellent, and the portions were generous. We've had significantly better potato salad elsewhere, especially considering how good the rest of the food was. The service was very pleasant, although it suffered somewhat from one very assertive and loud waitress, as the rest of the staff did a very good and attentive job.

"Our wedding at Herrenkeller was absolutely wonderful! The adjoining room was beautifully decorated, and we felt completely at the heart of things all day long. Anyone looking for excellent service will find it here: the team was always available, no matter when we needed something. The food was outstanding and offered something for everyone. We lacked for nothing – highly recommended!"

Very friendly staff, excellent and delicious food that arrived very quickly. The ambiance is exceptional, interesting, and particularly beautiful. Everything was perfect; we will definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, best mushroom stew I have eaten, nice and fast staff.

Excellent service, pleasant music, and the prices are reasonable. Cozy!

I ordered the Swabian meat dumplings, which were delicious, and the beer was also very good. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

Very quaint place to sit. Good food, friendly service.

Maps said they had vegan currywurst, but it wasn't available anymore; that would have been the only interesting thing... The rest of the vegetarian options could be much better. A classic meat-based pub...

Excellent food. Everyone loved it. Great vegetarian/vegan options too. Best potato salad ever! 😍 The service was also exceptionally friendly. I'll definitely be back. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

A wonderful atmosphere. Great, friendly service. And good food. We were completely satisfied.

Down-to-earth, honest, good. I really like the Herrenkeller. I've never had a bad meal there or been treated badly.

Delicious salad and the service was super friendly. Highly recommended.

Great inn. Delicious food and good beer. Very nice seating both inside and out.

The food was good. See photos. The service was excellent. Very attentive.

Very cozy atmosphere, well-suited for larger groups. Friendly staff. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food (taste) itself; the Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle) weren't very good, the salad was okay, and the soup was quite good.

I visited Herrenkeller around lunchtime based on a recommendation. Apparently, the kitchen was a bit overwhelmed, as the fries were almost cold and soggy. The lentils were tasty, but nearly overcooked. Unfortunately, this restaurant isn't for me, even though the recommendation sounded great.

One of the oldest inns in Ulm. Great service, excellent quality food, and the ambiance perfectly suits this venerable establishment. Don't be put off by the prices; they are justified by the quantity and quality. Please come hungry!

The menu offered few gluten-free dishes. When I made the reservation, I specifically asked about gluten-free options. Upon my arrival, the staff had several choices. I opted for a salad, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The service was very attentive.

We meet weekly for our regular get-together at the Herrenkeller, and I also go there regularly for meals on my own. The traditional Swabian cuisine is always excellent! The consistently friendly service and smiles from Andrea, Ewa, and the entire team are particularly noteworthy! I always feel very comfortable there! I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Keep up the good work, Herrenkeller team!

GREAT, freshly made schnitzel and potatoes, tasted like a family recipe - would happily go back!

Excellent food – simply delicious and with generous portions. The staff is very friendly. An absolute must in Ulm! Best regards, Alfred Bischof – Singer-songwriter

Very attentive and friendly service as well as excellent food – exactly what you want!

We ate there on Monday at lunchtime and received a very warm welcome despite having a dog and a wheelchair. The entire team was exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and clearly homemade. The prices were also very reasonable. We really liked the ambiance and decor, and the restrooms were spotlessly clean. We highly recommend Herrenkeller.

Excellent food, friendly and attentive service, and fair prices. Highly recommended!

We met there this evening for a family gathering and were absolutely delighted: delicious Swabian specialties, friendly and prompt service, and a rustic, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Extremely friendly service, very good food

Friendly waiters and delicious food 👍🏼

Very friendly service and consistently high quality. The quality is excellent, as is the portion size, and the ambiance is a perfect fit for traditional German cuisine. I'd gladly come back anytime.

The tablecloth was filthy and was only changed after I asked. The vegan Maultaschen (a type of German filled pasta) were from a package, and the potato salad certainly wasn't homemade either. It tasted awful. If you want to eat cheap food and pay a fortune for it, this is the place for you.

Lovely, traditional restaurant. Friendly waiters and delicious food 👍🏼

Delicious food, very attentive and friendly service. Highly recommended.

It doesn't get any better than this! Amazing food! Fantastic atmosphere! Friendly staff! We drive from Ravensburg to Ulm just to eat here! Reservations are a must! Always packed! 🍀❤️🙏

Superb food, simply delicious and generous portions, very friendly staff. A must-visit in Ulm - Best regards, Alfred Bischof - Singer-songwriter

Very friendly service, always excellent! Quality meets quantity, and the ambiance is just right for a German restaurant! We'll definitely be back.

Good quality German traditional food

A wonderful, traditional inn with excellent German cuisine! Reservations were quick and easy! All in all, we were very impressed and would gladly return for the next away game here in Ulm!

Good, traditional food in a pleasant pub atmosphere and with good portions.

We had a very good meal and received very friendly service! If we lived in Ulm, this would be our regular restaurant. Greetings from Dorsten to Ulm! The decor is perhaps a bit cluttered, but definitely an experience with all the nutcrackers. In any case, a good place for excellent food!

Simply good food, attentive service, excellent value for money. Highly recommended! I'll definitely be back!

Anyone who enjoys good Swabian cuisine and a rustic atmosphere will find exactly what they're looking for here! This is exactly how I imagine a historic inn should be. Even larger club or group events can be perfectly organized with the help of this team.

Excellent food, plentiful portions, good service, low prices. I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance, but next time I'm in Ulm, it won't be a coincidence! I will definitely eat here again. Highly recommended! Easily accessible from the main train station in 10 minutes.

Excellent Swabian cuisine, a beautiful and charming restaurant. Super attentive and friendly staff. I'll definitely be back.

The red cabbage was overcooked, probably having been reheated repeatedly for some time.

Great place, very clean, very friendly. Delicious!

After a long day of shopping in Ulm, we revisited the Herrenkeller – our first visit was two years ago. We were already thrilled with the food back then, so the decision to return was an easy one. This time, we ordered currywurst with fries, lentils with Spätzle, and Saitenwürstle (a type of sausage), all served with a side salad. The portions were exceptionally large and more than enough. Everything tasted delicious and was freshly prepared. We would especially like to commend the extremely friendly and attentive service, which was quick and always courteous despite the restaurant being busy. The ambiance is rustic and cozy, with many lovingly arranged nutcrackers in various sizes and colors, giving the restaurant a unique and charming atmosphere. The value for money is absolutely outstanding – everything is just right. We will gladly return and can wholeheartedly recommend the Herrenkeller in Ulm.

Very nice atmosphere, top service and good food

Fantastic German food, and good service

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. The Swabian Maultaschen with potato salad were the best we've ever eaten… you can see and taste that they're homemade; you rarely find that these days. The service is very charming and attentive. We'll definitely be back.

A tourist trap with poor service. These were by far the worst Maultaschen we've ever had anywhere, completely dry; we didn't finish them. During a visit to Ulm, we spontaneously decided on this restaurant as we were passing by, but unfortunately, it wasn't a good idea. We weren't even approached when we walked in; we had to first raise our eyebrows to get a table. We were then given the wrong drinks (large instead of small). The food came quickly. We weren't even asked if everything was okay. The Maultaschen really hurt both of us, as Swabians. No one else came to our table, so when we wanted to pay, we went to the front to get our attention again. On top of that, the food was expensive, but the drink prices were reasonable.

We went there for lunch on a Monday. Even with our dog and wheelchair, we were warmly welcomed. All the staff were consistently friendly and accommodating. The food was truly delicious, fresh, and homemade. The prices were really fair. We really liked the ambiance and decor, the restrooms were spotlessly clean, and we highly recommend the Herrenkeller.

Excellent traditional food and very good service, constantly asking if we needed anything. The place is also very pleasant.

Friendly staff and good, home-style cooking in a traditional atmosphere. The schnitzel and roast beef with onions were excellent!

We had a very enjoyable meal at the Herrenkeller. The Schnitzel was delicious and we especially loved the Pancake soup, it was so good and comforting. The atmosphere was nice and the service was good. Recommend for sure!

Super friendly service, excellent food! That's exactly what you'd expect!

We had a family reunion in Ulm from October 3-5, 2025, and 21 people had dinner at the Herrenkeller. It was great that we had the adjoining room to ourselves, which is ideal for a family reunion. The quality of the food was very good, and the service was excellent in terms of friendliness and speed. We would be happy to come back again.

We were there this evening for a family reunion. Delicious Swabian food and friendly, prompt service in a rustic, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Honest, truly excellent cuisine, no frills, just simply superb cooking. Everything is fresh, made with love, and served to perfection. The service is the best and friendliest you could wish for: attentive, warm, and truly authentic. We felt completely at home and will definitely be back!

Swabian tapas are simply superb, very friendly service, great ambiance; we will definitely be back

Short visit to ULM for a half marathon, we ate here the day before, it was very good.

We were there with a 35-person tour group over the weekend. Highly recommended. We inquired two days in advance, and everything was arranged for us to eat there with a group. Great service - great food - great atmosphere. We'll definitely go there again.

Food was just OK because it was very salty

Very nice restaurant! Hot meals are served all day. The service is great, and the food is incredibly delicious. They even have one vegan dish. We'd love to come back!

We had an absolutely delicious lunch of Maultasche. We will come back! Also loved the menus, it looking like a newspaper is so unique.

We've been there several times. Initially, it was always nice and cozy, with good food. However, when the restaurant is full, they offer a limited menu (which unfortunately disappointed some of us), and the service was completely overwhelmed. It took a very long time to pay, for example, etc. Furthermore, my request to decorate the table a bit for a birthday party was ignored (which would have been less of a problem if we'd at least given a little advance notice). The food was still very tasty. Overall, the restaurant is highly recommended, unless it's completely full.

Cozy restaurant with Swabian hospitality, top-notch service, and the Ulmer Gold... fabulous 😊

The food (roast beef with onions) was very good. The service was also excellent.

At peace with everyone, food and beer are delicious.

Full house but excellent service ! 👌

Oh, that's funny: the management of this establishment wrote to Google asking to delete my comment on the pretext that I was "defaming" 😂. I simply wrote that the welcome had been deplorable because the waitress had decreed in a curt tone, as if she were addressing unwelcome people and not customers, that we had to share a table with another customer while many other tables on the terrace were free... I have never been so badly received in a restaurant and I would like to know why. This comment therefore recounted a real-life experience and the management of this establishment, which apparently does not tolerate criticism, could have responded to me directly to explain their policy of "I prefer to squeeze customers around the same table". Perhaps I would have understood their arguments.

German cuisine in an unbeatable atmosphere

There were two of us and two dishes were slightly above average. Very friendly staff, despite the beer garden being full.

Really delicious food. Schnitzel, roast beef with onions, cheese spaetzle, and Kaiserschmarrn. The schnitzel was good. The rest was really tasty.

Highly recommended! Excellent food, impeccable service, and a cozy atmosphere – you simply feel at home at the Herrenkeller restaurant. I'll definitely be back!

Super delicious food, great service 😊👍

Very nice, everything wonderful, great service, super food, fantastic ambience and the black-haired waitress is world class.

Unfortunately, the food tasted awful, according to everyone present. We won't be eating there again.
