Hofbräuhaus Regensburg in Regensburg

It's not a traditional Bavarian inn, but it's close. The food was okay, but not exactly delicious. We had sauerbraten (three of them), beef, and schnitzel. We were really looking forward to the venison stew, but it was already sold out on Saturday evening, even though it was the pre-Christmas season. 🤔 The kitchen wasn't even open for dessert by 9:30 pm. Well, what can I say? Form your own opinion; I've already formed mine.

Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is also okay, but a bit expensive for what you get.

Small portions for a high price

The Hofbräuhaus in Regensburg is a classic, traditional Bavarian restaurant offering all the typical Bavarian dishes – from roast pork and crackling to fish dishes. The food is generally good, often excellent. I particularly remember the liver with boiled potatoes and the pulled pork on dark rye bread. Simple dishes like dumplings with gravy are also readily available. The ambiance is traditional: a large dining room, set tables, and an overall down-to-earth, Bavarian style. The service is a bit of a letdown. Once, we only wanted a beer and were completely ignored for over 15 minutes, so we left. This was an exception, but still worth mentioning. On all our other visits, we received normal and friendly service. Overall, it's a reliable, classic inn with good food and a traditional atmosphere, where the service can vary somewhat depending on the clientele.

Great beer! And superb food! All in the bavarian tradition! Sorry I didn’t took photos because I was busy eating all!

Great food in a beautiful, traditional Bavarian restaurant.

Hofbräuhaus is always worth a visit!!!

Since Kneitinger was too crowded, I visited Hofbräu yesterday. The liver dumplings were better and fluffier than at Kneitinger, almost as good as my grandma's... and that's the highest possible compliment. The roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut was also SUPER good. And Mrs. Meier's service earned it the fifth star. I'll gladly come back again and again.

Brewery, therefore loud; Kaiserschmarrn was average...

Quaint restaurant with good food!

A classic inn with a drinking hall

We gave our waiter Maarten a generous tip. Apparently, that wasn't enough for him. Instead of €115, €120 was debited from our account. Beware of scams! Outrageous! Addendum: @Landlady K.S. That's absolutely right. The waiter didn't show us the amount on the card reader and simply charged us €5 more. We also didn't receive a receipt. That's not right. Otherwise, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening with you.

We were at the Hofbräuhaus on a foggy Sunday afternoon... we had reserved a table for 7 people. At 11:45 on Sunday, the place was empty! My roast pork was okay. But the roast pork was an outrage... for €18.50, only small pieces of meat... like leftovers... and the gravy was anything but delicious! The fried chicken looked very pale, as did the schnitzel... unfortunately, there wasn't even a scoop of ice cream for the kids... the Hofbräuhaus is not the best place for good food... By the way, the place was empty until 12:30, then about 7 tables were occupied...!!!

We had the "stuffed Hofbräu schnitzel with fried potatoes and salad." The food was good, and the service was quick and friendly despite the crowds. We'd be happy to come back.

The price/performance ratio isn't right here – the schnitzel filled with cheese was unfortunately very dry and cost almost €23. A shame. However, the service was friendly and quick.

Very nice place. Good food. A small minus for forced tips..

We ate here around 12 noon in mid-October! We had our three children (5, 4, and 3 months) and my parents-in-law with us! Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately greeted warmly, and everyone made every effort to give us a large table with space on the side so we could leave the baby in the stroller at the table! Only after we sat down did we notice how empty the dining room was! A few tables were occupied, the rest were free! It was a Sunday shopping day in Regensburg that day! Menus were brought to us promptly, and our orders were taken promptly! Up to this point, everything was excellent! The service was very friendly and courteous! We ordered a salad with fried white sausage, a sauerbraten (sauerbraten), a children's schnitzel, and a side dish with pumpkin (I can't remember what it was exactly). Unfortunately, schnitzel with fries wasn't available for the kids; they only served potato salad! The salad was delicious, but very poorly presented. Which actually wasn't so bad! The Sauerbraten, the schnitzel, and the other hot dish were served lukewarm! We expected more for €20 each. The Sauerbraten wasn't particularly sour, and the dumplings were mushy. The schnitzel was unfortunately a bit bland, but it was okay for the kids! The side dish, "pumpkin," was carelessly served ice-cold on a separate plate! When asked if we enjoyed it, we made our presence known and told the waitress that our food had been served cold! Her response was, "Oh, how stupid." No apology, no surprise, nothing. After her reaction, it was clear to us: she hears this all the time! Unfortunately, there was no apology. A few tourists wandered into the restaurant during our stay, despite the busy city center, but it remained noticeably empty!

The Kaiserschmarrn was poorly made, almost raw, and the chef ignored our criticism. Only the friendly waiter saved the day.

A traditional, old-school Bavarian pub. A meeting place for locals and tourists alike.

The food was mediocre—snacks only served after 4 p.m.—why? Service was mediocre. The interior was nice and bright.

Overworked waiters, dirty tablecloths, subpar food. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

The waitress didn't want to serve us outside because it was too cold for her. Despite the bright sunshine.

Everything was okay and the food was good. The ambiance could be a bit better, but we would eat there again :)

This restaurant is truly an institution of Bavarian food. The dishes are traditional classics that have likely stayed the same for hundreds of years. If you are looking for modern cuisine, this is definitely not the place. But if you want to experience authentic Bavarian food, service, and atmosphere, this is exactly where you should go. It’s a family-owned place, and compared to the Hofbräuhaus in Munich, the Hofbräuhaus Regensburg feels much cozier and more personal. A great spot to experience real Bavarian hospitality!

Everything was great and clean. The selection was excellent and the food was of excellent quality. The service was nervous.

The menu is small, but everything is fresh. It's nice to sit outside, even if the table is on a bit of a slope. The sour sausages were excellently marinated in vinegar and onion broth, the Swiss sausage salad had plenty of sausage and was also well seasoned and dressed, and the stuffed schnitzel had a delicious cheese inside. Special requests were accommodated. The service was friendly. The cook even came out and asked everyone there if everything was okay. We found that very pleasant 👍🏻 Beer on tap: a pale wheat beer from the Hofbräuhaus was delicious/a smooth wheat beer. Verdict: We'd gladly go back 👍🏻

I visited Regensburg as a day trip and I also wanted to eat pork knuckle. The dish was so good. Very fulfilling. The crispy skin was perfect. The dumpling ball and the gravy were delicious too. I ate on the inside because I did not want to deal with the insects. The server was really nice and attentive even though I did not speak German. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. That may be because it was early during the day.

A quick beer in the rain; the orders from the neighboring table looked very good. The staff immediately took care of the guest's well-being.

We've gone here occasionally for seven years. The food has gone shockingly downhill. On our most recent visit, the sauce with the sauerbraten was sweet and had so congealed that it was inedible. The spaetzle was so soaked in butter that it was also essentially inedible. We ate a few bites and left most of the dish uneaten. The bratkartoffeln with the herz vom rost were undercooked and came closer to a gratin. A nice family runs this place, but that's not enough to recommend it.

Unfortunately closed when we visited… :-(

2 0.3 liter shandy at the brewery! €9.50 Never again.

Everything was fine. Thank you!

did not eat here, but the have a biergarten in the back. cold drinks.

The food was delicious. Unfortunately, the pork knuckle was sold out on Monday afternoon, which is really annoying when you're going to a Bavarian Hofbräuhaus just for that.

The food was okay. Service wasn't exactly up to scratch. The atmosphere was simply great.

Also good for a quick lunch, in the city center

An authentic Bavarian inn in the best sense of the word. Roast with dumplings or grilled sausages with sauerkraut, accompanied by a freshly tapped beer. If you're lucky, the landlady might stop by for a moment.

It was good, the atmosphere is nice, the food is good. Not extreaordinary or memorable just simply normal good food with nice service. There are herz on the speisekarte which you cannot find a lot of places nowadays. So yes overall rating 3.8.

Nice atmosphere and service, we were not lucky though with food that day, despite ordering traditional Bavarian meals. They simply lacked flavour and taste. Maybe it is better place for drinking, than eating?

Very unfriendly staff (Thai lady). The food was okay, the schnitzel was inedible. The food was overpriced.

As an upscale Bavarian restaurant, the HB is hard to beat in terms of food quality in Regensburg...at least if you like Bavarian cuisine.

The food was excellent, and special requests were accommodated. The service was very friendly.

Excellent roast for lunch. Very friendly service. When they noticed that my roast sauce was running low, they immediately offered to bring it back. Absolutely top-notch. The crust on the roast was crispy. The chef even came and asked if everything was okay. Very attentive. Quiet little courtyard. I'd be happy to go back. I can't confirm or understand the negative reviews!

Typical Bavarian cuisine in a typical Bavarian atmosphere. Very good value for money. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the food was served after a reasonable wait.

Food (grilled heart with fried potatoes) only warmed up. Never again

I'm rating the inner courtyard here, which isn't necessarily bad, but not particularly beautiful either (in contrast to the interior). There's also outdoor seating near the busy pedestrian zone. The food was hearty and delicious, and the beer was as good as ever and freshly tapped. The staff was quite attentive; even though there was only one person running around, everything still worked out.

Very unpleasant experience. I stopped in to have a beer. There were musicians playing some oompah music and I took several photos. One of the staff members came over and yelled at me for taking photos and told me to stop - which I did. He then came back several minutes later and yelled at me again for not respecting the people playing music. This is a tourist destination in the heart of Regensburg. I would think taking pictures of people playing music would be a daily experience. The staff member was extremely rude! Would NOT recommend this establishment.

We had a really good meal there, and our young waiter was so nice. Unfortunately, we didn't ask his name, but he was really nice. My friend had a really nice one. 🎂 Full marks.

Had visited Munchen several times so when I came here on my final evening to taste delicious Bavarian food and beer again. The roast pork was delicious and the piece of crackle extremely crunchy - yums!! Portion size is good. Price is reasonable for the quality. The HB beer is the best beer I tasted on this trip which included beers from other parts of Germany, Czech, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. Wonderful thirst quencher on a hot early evening. I thought the male waiter (in white short sleeve shirt) who served me was extremely patient and helpful. On first look at the English part of the menu, I saw only cold platters and sausages so I decided to leave. But fortunately I let the waiter know why I was leaving and he told me the first page in German had the more traditional meaty dishes I wanted. He proceeded to then translate each item for me! No sign of displeasure or unhappiness from him at all. I gave him a bigger tip because he deserved it. I do not understand the bad recent reviews here. Maybe its members from the same cruise ship writing in individually. Give this restaurant a try and judge for yourself. P/S: if you think I am a soft touch, have a look at some of the harsh reviews I have handed out in the past and on this current trip. I tell it as it is!

My wife and I didn't feel so good after the meal... hence the bad review 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nice ambiance, but the waitresses were completely unmotivated and disinterested. After a long wait, we weren't served and left the place thirsty. It wasn't busy, and there were enough waitstaff.

Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. The roast pork was laced with flavor enhancers, and the venison goulash with spaetzle was inedible! Never again!

Everything was great. We didn't expect this. We'll be back soon. Highly recommended.

SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE This restaurant has been a favorite place of my parents who knew the owners well. Now the new generation is ruining the beautiful reputation. I ordered asparagus which arrived after a long time waiting. The asparagus was not warm, the ham was thick and hard, potatoes too soft and salty But still I was so happy finally to get asparagus and started eating. The nice waiter asked me if all is ok, I answered truthfully that the asparagus is not hot. I asked him to feel it and he agreed that it was cold. He offered a new portion of asparagus. Please note I did not complain and would have eaten it as I was hungry as well. So he took the meal Shortly after, a woman who called herself 'chefin' Frau Gardner-Schafbauer, came back with a styropor box and my whole meal inside. What a disgusting sight, all mixed up in this cheap box. She said 'you can take it home'. I thought that was a joke and said ' I live in a hotel and do not want to take it. Still expecting to get a new portion of asparagus. No I was mistaken. They made me pay for the horrible meal in the styropor box. I had to leave hungry and needed to go to another restaurant for a meal. I travel a lot and eat often in restaurants. NEVER EVER anything like this happened before. This unprofessional woman said 'the cook took out the asparagus of the hot water. So maybe the plate was waiting too long to be brought to the customer. Could be many reasons why the meal was cold, but so brutally putting the customer into the wrong, is just shocking.

Good traditional bavarian restaurant

The best schnitzel with potato and cucumber salad in the world 🤗 I'll definitely go back next time I'm in Regensburg. The waitress in a dirndl was attentive and very friendly. This old Bavarian inn is beautiful.

Die Bedienung war erst mal sehr nett. Das Schnitzel und die Haxenstücke waren kaum gewürzt und die Haxe so hart und trocken, dass sie fast nicht zu schneiden war. Auf nachfragen, ob es geschmeckt habe äußerten wir unser Anliegen und wurden ab sofort ignoriert. Das war für uns leider ein Reinfall.

Beautiful inn in historic rooms with excellent Bavarian cuisine and good service. Very friendly staff

“Just” had a beer in the courtyard. The lady from the service made a rough impression at first, but that was put into perspective pretty quickly. Typically Bavarian style, tough in tone but still warm and funny. Had a lot of fun!

It was very nice again in the Hofbräuhaus, the food was very tasty, the friendly senior manager

Still one of the most beautiful economies. Unfortunately, we were less satisfied with the food, but you can always come for a beer because the casual atmosphere invites you to linger.

The waitress was delightful. The food is very delicious. The atmosphere of the place is pleasant. I strongly recommend it!

I recently visited Hofbräuhaus Regensburg and was blown away by the authentic Bavarian cuisine! The decor was traditional, the service was warm, and the food was incredible. The Kässespätzle was a highlight, with flavors that transported me to the streets of Bavaria. the beer selection was impressive. Make a reservation for a traditional Bavarian food.

Great beer/tasty food and friendly staff

Very, very, very tasty food! So really delicious! Good, family service! Top! We would come back any time.

**Atmosphere:** Anyone who expects rustic cosiness will find themselves in an atmosphere that has retained the charm of past decades - not necessarily in a positive sense. Rustic and Bavarian, yes, but unfortunately also a bit musty. Time seems to have stood still here, but in a way that detracts from the overall impression. **Service:** Unfortunately the staff lacked friendliness and attentiveness. The waiters seemed unmotivated, which also affected the service. A smile or a kind word would have made the visit more pleasant, but it didn't materialize. **Eat:** In terms of cuisine, the Hofbräuhaus Regensburg is in the solid midfield. Neither outstanding nor really disappointing, but it lacks that special taste kick that rounds off an authentic Bavarian experience. If you're expecting hearty home cooking, you'll get it here - but without any surprises or special sophistication. **Conclusion:** A visit to the Hofbräuhaus Regensburg is probably more for nostalgics or fans of traditional brewery culture without high expectations of atmosphere, service or culinary highlights. If you're looking for a real feel-good experience, you might want to go elsewhere.

Very good food and great service

I would have given the food a five but I thought the Schweinshaxe was cooked a little too long. It was still good, just not great!

Very friendly staff, mostly good food - the sour liver tastes fantastic - and a very traditional Bavarian inn.

Very nice place, we had breakfast there on a Saturday and it was very quiet, good service and very delicious food.

The waiters were very friendly and very present. They know how to do their job! Excellent food!

A classic restaurant, he recommended a dish to us and it was very good. A sure hit site.

We felt very welcome. The young man who served us was very pleasant, nice and funny. Thanks for the service...

....yes, but in my opinion the beer is already...

Great place for local meals, great beer and very friendly service. It’s German culture at its best, love the hospitality.

Optisch ein schönes Lokal. Service war aufmerksam aber essen konnte man nicht mehr umbestellen nach dem man es eine Minute davor bestellt hatte. Wurstsalat war kein Highlight. Würde ich nicht mehr essen. (Keine gute Wurst sowie auch kein guter Käse)

Definitely will eat again and would recommend. Eat the heart and try all of their beers.

Of course very meat-heavy (but also some vegetarian and one vegan dish). The restaurant offers friendly service and a somewhat rustic atmosphere. Unfortunately, our food was rather lukewarm or cool and therefore seemed less fresh. All in all, a decent restaurant but not the best there is.

Absolutely recommended. Extremely delicious food. The waiters on their toes.

It was very frustrating that there was no knuckle or schnitzel left at 7 p.m. on Saturday evening. Not recommended

Richtig urig, schöne alte Einrichtung. Eine Bedienung , der man den Spaß an der Arbeit richtig ansehen konnte. Einfach toll, gern wieder. Essen war lecker und große Portionen

We had a very tasty meal there and would be happy to come back when we get the chance!

It's good but not the same atmosphere as in Munich. Much more limited in their offerings as well. There are better spots in Regensburg.

Great Bavarian cuisine. Very good food at normal prices. Very friendly staff. We'd love to come back.

Das Angebot an verschiedenen Gerichten ist sehr gut. Gegessen wird in einem großen Speisesaal in uriger Atmosphäre. Dass Unfreundlichkeit, die man früher vielleicht in solchen Wirtshäusern erwartet hat, kein Zeichen bayerischer Authentizität ist, ist noch nicht bei den Bedienungen angekommen. Dafür wird man von der Hausherrin begrüßt.

SCHMATZ,SCHMATZ, SCHMATZ ,... SCHMATZ...

Nice place, very characteristic with waiters in typical costume. Good menu, in tune with the venue, good beer.

Bel locale, molto caratteristico con i camerieri in costume tipico tedesco. Buon menù, in sintonia con il locale, buona birra.

Food took a while to arrive but was good. The place is quiet busy and a typical beer hall. The location is great, right in the middle of town in the pedestrian area. The schnitzel was good!

Delicious food and friendly service.

Beer was good as usual. The ambience great too. The servers were polite and friendly. But nothing can match the vibe of München one.

Delicious food and great service

Old dignified inn, rustic ambience, quick and friendly service, very good food

Really nice old brewery, great food, great service, we were thrilled.

Traditional Bavarian brewery with a lot of flair. My colleagues and I really enjoyed it here. Not only because of the beer, but also the food is excellent here. Reasonably priced. Thank you for the lovely evening and the great service.

Great place, good beer. The service was poor and slow. Without knowledge of English. It is not possible to pay by card, which I consider a big minus these days.

Rustic and traditional. Good beer and food. We felt very comfortable and the service was top! Thank you very much ❤️

Classic Bavarian food as its best.

Always worth a visit. Very good food in a traditional atmosphere.
