Hofbräu in Bamberg

It was very tasty. We happened to stop by hungry and were satisfied.

Very friendly service that is well organized, super delicious food.

We wanted to stop in for a drink around 10 p.m. After being seated and clarifying that we only wanted a drink, no server came to take our drink order for over 10 minutes. We then left without a drink...

Delicious food, very friendly staff (especially the red one), everything was perfect!!!!

Everything was great and delicious

Best ever, especially for a restaurant, a beer hall located in the old town. The waitress, actually all of them, except the lady with the red hair, was amazing. Highly recommended.

Very delicious food. We had the venison goulash and the roast pork. We arrived without a reservation and were actually seated outside after a short wait.

It’s kind of okay place but too touristy and I wasn’t impressed by food or beer. It wasn’t bad but doesn’t make you to have it again.

Review for Hofbräuhaus Bamberg A typical tourist spot, the kind you find in almost every hotspot. The price-performance ratio is completely out of whack. A salad that was explicitly not supposed to be spicy was extremely spicy. The currywurst – for a very hefty price – arrived cold. Both dishes were returned. In the end, we only paid for the drinks. Unfortunately, we wouldn't recommend it. Unfortunately, no apology from the waiter either.

A typical Franconian restaurant with delicious food. Delicious beer. Very attentive staff.

Food was yummy, but we wanted to try the bamberg food which was option 2 in menu 17euro, the waitress brought us option 3,23 euro.. we did not notice it and at the end when we noticed we told them,,, instead if apologizing or getting 17 euro they made us pat for the wrong...

Yes, large portions🍗🥘, very tasty 😋

Great place with lots of great people. The food was good, but the savoy cabbage looked like mashed potatoes.

The food was very good 👍 Mushrooms in cream sauce

Terrible treatment. I feel like I'm being treated like a "fool" for being a tourist. They don't try to understand you and seem to be laughing at you.

Touristy restaurant. I had the roast pork. It was good, but you can't go wrong with that one. The dumpling was still partly raw, the savoy cabbage was like baby food, puréed far too finely, an unsightly mess. It's hard to believe this is the region's celebrated cuisine. The price is commensurate with the central location. My polite criticism when paying was silently acknowledged. No apologies or anything. Is that how they treat customers here? All in all, very disappointing. If I go back to Bamberg, I won't eat there.

Despite the restaurant being full, the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was excellent and harmoniously seasoned. Highly recommended!

The food is simply delicious. We were there a few years ago in the winter and weren't disappointed this summer either. Great, friendly service, and the dishes came super quickly. I really like that you can order all the dishes on the menu as a child's portion for children. My son also loved the roast pork.

A really good restaurant in the heart of Bamberg. Drinks (beer and wine) were nice and cold. The food (starters and main courses) was also delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. Sitting outside, it's naturally busy, but that's exactly what we wanted. The service was friendly and quick. Definitely recommended!

We were at the Hofbräu in Bamberg and got our food quickly – the daily special I ordered was okay, although the meat had a bit of gristle. My wife had fries, which were probably coated and therefore really crispy. Unfortunately, the service didn't seem particularly friendly, and the overall atmosphere was more reminiscent of a beer tent at the Oktoberfest – a matter of taste. Overall, it was solid, but there's room for improvement.

The food arrives quickly and is consistently good. The meat, in particular, is high-quality and beautifully tender, but the vegetarian dishes are equally as good. The breading, especially, is always crispy. The seating is very comfortable, and aside from the many smokers, which the restaurant can't help, the beer garden is also excellent. Anyone looking for a good, centrally located restaurant in Bamberg should stop here.

The staff is unfriendly. The food is too expensive. Even extra cutlery costs an extra €1.50.

Lovely place with great food. The service is nice and helpful, and the food is delicious. All plates were amazing, and the beer was a perfect pair.

Very friendly service. The food is nice, good potato and cucumber salad. The sea bass is ready-made, but with fresh spinach salad and potato salad.

Ideal location. Delicious Schlenkerla. A bit more expensive than the Original Schlenkerla Brewery just a few hundred meters away.

I would love to give the service 10 stars instead of just 5. Two of us ate here today. Because we weren't that hungry but really wanted the bratwurst, we shared a portion. Luckily, this wasn't a problem for the waiter at all, and we got a second plate. The lady who served us was very friendly and accommodating, exactly what you want! We forgot our backpack, and she ran after us all the way to the bridge to let us know that it was still with her. Since we were just passing through, it would have been a disaster if it had gotten lost. Luckily, the waiter at this restaurant helped us two complete idiots :) The food was, of course, perfect, too!

Unfortunately, the service (a guy with a beard) was a disaster. Inflexible, unkempt, and rude.

It was very nice there, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The staff is incredibly friendly, kind, and accommodating, so you're happy to tip a little extra.

We ordered salad and carpaccio, it was very tasty!

Very good food and very good beer. The smoked beer is highly recommended. The staff is very friendly and always on the go.

Centrally located, the soup was okay, but the service was unfortunately completely awful: The waitress regularly reprimands customers, and "please" and "thank you" are apparently not part of their vocabulary. And smiling at the customer and then turning around and making a face is disrespectful. Unfortunately, we observed this behavior from several waitresses. We'd rather pay the salaries of friendly employees at other restaurants.

Well-located restaurant, excellent quality and quantity of food, clean environment and super polite and attentive staff.

We had lunch at the Brauhaus today and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was super friendly. We'll definitely be back. Excellent value for money and superb quality! We had the roast pork and venison goulash.

We spent 5 days traveling in Upper Franconia. Great area, very nice around the restaurant. The food... We visited at least 10 restaurants or beer gardens, and by far the worst food was served; everyone at the table agreed.

Incredibly delicious! I ate venison goulash and drank a smoked beer. Highly recommended. The service was also fast, friendly, and competent.

We were here yesterday with seven people. We went to a place where we could all sit. After the waiter came and asked us to change seats, we asked, and were told we had to change seats or leave. But we didn't get an explanation as to why we had to change seats. Unfortunately.

Portions that are too large make the food very expensive 🫰

A typical tourist shop where the price-performance ratio is unfortunately not right. The wild boar sausage had an indefinable taste. The dumplings looked like wedges, and it's questionable whether the red cabbage was homemade. The location by the bridge is good, but that's about it.

Nice on the terrace, the service could be more attentive!

We were there today and were unfortunately extremely disappointed. None of us four enjoyed the food, which is something I've never experienced before. My shrimp salad was returned almost untouched, which didn't even prompt the wait staff to ask. The shrimp were undercooked and sour, the salad was barely dressed and simply tasted bad. My friends' fish was frozen, and the potato salad was sour and not homemade. My boyfriend's red cabbage was completely overcooked. We're happy to pay more for good food, but the prices here were absolutely not reasonable. What a shame.

Great menu great dishes and very helpful and polite stuff!

We only stopped here for a quick beer and a snack. The waitress with the turquoise-colored hair is soooo heartwarming❤️ and definitely made our visit a memorable one.

Just had a drink, service very friendly!

Unfriendly dad. Drinks delivered to the table that were never ordered.

Got food I didn't order even though I showed it on the menu, we had to pay twice for beers and extremely unfriendly service... I wouldn't recommend it to anyone

The food was okay, but the service was extremely unfriendly. We also had to pay twice for three beers because a colleague paid in cash, but these beers were still on the final bill. I absolutely cannot recommend it.

★★★★★ Excellent food & great service at Hofbräu Bamberg Our visit to Hofbräu in Bamberg was a real highlight! The atmosphere is rustic, cozy, and typically Franconian – exactly what you'd want in a city like Bamberg. A very special thank you goes to our waitress Ragnar, who made the evening perfect with her warm and courteous manner. She was extremely friendly, attentive, and always there with a smile. You can immediately tell that she's passionate about her job – making you feel completely at home as a guest. We were also treated to a culinary delight: We opted for the schnitzel with fresh asparagus – and it was fantastic! The schnitzel was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the asparagus was wonderfully tender and aromatic. The accompanying sauce and side dishes – simply divine. Hofbräu Bamberg is a place we can highly recommend to everyone. And if you're lucky enough to be served by Ragnar, nothing stands in the way of a perfect evening.

It was great, food, service and friendliness always happy to go back

There are so many beautiful breweries in Bamberg and then Zirndörfer is served, a disgrace.

Beautifully located restaurant. Service a bit gruff. Food is good. The snacks are great for a quick bite.

Much better than expected. We had asparagus salad and cream of asparagus soup. Both were excellent. The waiters were stressed but friendly. The prices are also reasonable for the location. Definitely not a tourist trap, but good food in a prime location.

Prices are a bit higher than nearby restaurants. Nice atmosphere.

We were "unfortunately" just here for a drink at the bar, passing through. The staff's excellent communication demonstrates not only their efficiency but also the joy of working together. This naturally rubs off on the guests' well-being. Special praise to the bartender, and thanks for the breakfast tip 😃 We'll be back.

There's almost no parking directly at the restaurant. There's an underground garage nearby. Very nice ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food. A sufficient selection of food and drinks.

A rustic, typically Franconian restaurant with a balanced menu. In addition to hearty dishes, vegetarians are also catered for.

Rustic, Franconian brewery cuisine at its best. The service was very friendly, confident, and attentive, even when it was packed. An unreserved recommendation for anyone looking for a hearty meal.

Just stopped in for a schlenkerla. Very tasty. Ample seating inside and out on the patio. People around us seemed to happy with food. Mostly bar food it appears

Very tasty, nice staff, food served quickly and for 4 people at the same time. Thank you, gladly again.

Very nice, authentic restaurant. The waitresses are extremely competent and friendly.

The food was pricey but still tasty. The portions aren't huge but they fill you up. But many people don't get their money's worth here. The staff is friendly and quick. Despite the full outdoor area, we didn't have to wait long for our food. The toilets are clean.

Great food and atmosphere! We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather and had the venison and dumplings. Great spot for a meal in Bamberg!

The food was delicious, we had crusty roast and the veal cakes, which we can only recommend. The service is really nice and attentive even when the house is full. Our dog immediately got a water bowl! Great! Unfortunately the location on the street with bus traffic, we sat outside, is not ideal. All in all, highly recommended!

The food was extremely tasty and the staff was absolutely courteous and friendly. A MUST on your next trip to Bamber!

We (four people) wanted to quench our thirst at the Hofbräu on a very warm day. The male waitress told us that “he didn’t have room outside just to drink”. We could sit down to drink in the restaurant or in the entrance area (standing room). But there you felt completely pushed aside and after 5 minutes there was still no service in sight. This unfriendly manner then brought him a 0 euro turnover. The Irish pub three streets away had then made the turnover. Your own fault!

Way too expensive for what you get. Salad with goat cheese wonton had almost 7 lettuce leaves, a slice of cucumber and half a tomato. More of a tourist rip-off. Despite a reservation, we had to leave after 2 hours.

Very nice and courteous service. Rauchbier and Zirndorfer Radler tasted great. Gladly again.

Respect! Really good food! The crusty roast was excellent and there is also something for vegetarians 👍

We spontaneously went here for dinner yesterday and ate on the outside terrace. In addition to the typical German dishes, there were also seasonal dishes with asparagus. Everything tasted good to us. The waiters were friendly. We can recommend the Hofbräu in Bamberg.

It was very busy at lunchtime, but the service was quick and the food was great.

Absolute tourist rip-off. Don't go here under any circumstances. I worked in the catering industry myself and as the gentleman spoke to us, in my 5 years in the catering industry I couldn't imagine speaking to customers in such an outrageously unfriendly manner. I would have liked to get up and leave after this discussion. Apart from the bad food. And then gossip in front of the customers. Thank you for ruining our day, you are beyond rude. I would strongly advise everyone not to enter this store. Greetings to the waiter :)

We reserved a table the day before. With dog. Outdoor area. 2 people. The tables to the left and right were no more than 20 cm apart. Good thing our table neighbors were dog lovers. Food ordered at 6:15 p.m., served at 7:05 p.m. after asking twice. The service was aware that something had gone wrong. However, even when asked, no apology. The salad was extremely vinegary. As a salt lover myself, the portion of fries was far too salty for me. However, the consistency of the fries was very good. Overall we were disappointed. We have never given no “tip”. But that was more than disappointing. Even the offered schnapps wouldn't have made up for it. We refused. It's a shame....😭

Great Franconian dishes. The veninson goulash is particularly tasty.

Had a great evening, delicious delicacies and great service. The service was very friendly and the food was served perfectly for our large table of 16 people. Thank you very much and see you soon for your next visit to Bamberch ;-)

We ate crusty roast... very tasty and the service was very friendly

A very nice and good Franconian inn. Friendly service and delicious food and beer. Wide selection of food and drinks. And the ambiance fits perfectly.

Great service, large portions! Our server was also very friendly and gave us great advice! Her name is Ragna

We were warmly welcomed and shown to the table. There was absolutely nothing that could be improved on the service. The restaurant was very busy, but our food was served in a respectable time. The food was very tasty and excellently prepared, high praise to the cooks and the head chef. Even when dining, the guests' well-being was always taken into account. Many thanks again to the whole team.

Super nice service. We had a delicious little lunch. Black pudding in wonton fried on lukewarm lentil salad. Plus a Silvaner. Highly recommended!

Very tasty and very good service

Very tasty food and very good service. Highly recommended

The meal was exceptional, complemented by excellent beer and outstanding service.

Service was professional and friendly, but I didn't like the food (wild boar sausage). Maybe a mistake.

Very nice brewery, very good service and very good food

We were warmly welcomed and shown to our table. The evening was very pleasant, we were looked after very well by the service team. We were always asked if everything was okay or if there was anything else we would like. Unfortunately, anything else is no longer a given today. The crusty roast was also great. The Hofbräu will be open again on my next visit to Bamberg.

Food was tasty, price performance was okay. Always happy when I'm in Bamberg.

Friendly and attentive service staff. Pollock was frozen including breading. That doesn't have to be the case. Savoy cabbage garnish was tasteless. The selection of draft beers is well chosen.

You have to eat the schnitzel. The wine list is also very extensive.

The Hofbräu is very centrally located in Bamberg. The five of us just came here in the evening to have a drink and something to eat. Very busy restaurant, we only found a place after the second attempt. For food there was apple strudel, chocolate cake and the vegan curry. Everything was very tasty. The service was courteous, open and very friendly. A good selection of drinks with delicious beer and spirits. One tip is the naturally cloudy Biernenenobstler.

Very nice staff and delicious food. It was very well attended! Reservations make sense!

Tasty home-style cuisine. The room is relatively small with tables placed close together. The kitchen door, which is always kept open - which is directly adjacent to the toilet door - further spoils the ambience.

I went there twice during my short vacation in Bamberg. The service is excellent, friendly and on the ball. I had roast pork once and duck on the second day. Both highly recommended and very well prepared and tasty. No long waiting times. Beer fresh from the tap, as it should be. I would go there again at any time.

It was great that we spontaneously got a table for 4 people and were then served such delicious food. The crusty roast with savoy cabbage and dumplings was great. The crust itself is a highlight. Based on the name, I would have expected Bamberger beer, but Tucher is tasty too. The restaurant was full and I can understand why guests like to be pampered here.

Beautiful Hofbräuhaus in a very beautiful setting! The smoked beer is very good, the prices are quite okay. The service is good and fast. The only drawback is the space is very limited. I'd love to come back.

Very tasty German food. The service was very fast and friendly.

Very tasty duck and excellent service on Christmas Day, friendly and accommodating

Top address for tourists and Bambergers!!!! Great service, food, drinks and location!

Clean and pleasant place. The cuisine is rich, with typical/traditional dishes. I would recommend it. Maybe a little narrow if you are in a wheelchair and a stroller. They have a vegetarian option

The restaurant is nice and big, even when it is very full the service staff are very calm, nice and funny. But the toilets were so disgustingly dirty that I haven't seen them in a restaurant for a long time.

Very pleasant atmosphere, great service, good food at reasonable prices. This bar/restaurant is highly recommended

Ate very well. Fast and friendly service
