Kanonesteppel in Frankfurt am Main

What can I say? The food was tasty, but nothing special, as far as I'm concerned.

A great restaurant with a lovely beer garden under plane trees. Typical Frankfurt food and apple wine are delicious. Friendly and competent service. You should definitely make a reservation, though. AND: In the heart of Frankfurt, unfortunately, you can only pay by card… still worth a recommendation!

As always, very good food and a family atmosphere. Honest cuisine (original Wiener Schnitzel and Schlachtplatte). Celebrated my 70th birthday with my girlfriend. Just like my 40th birthday and many, many other occasions before. I've been coming here for more than 30 years. Just another real Sachsenhausen restaurant for residents and strangers. 🤗👍🏻😉😘

The schnitzel was too fatty and thin. The rest of the food was delicious and authentic!

Cannot pay by card. Cash only. Pleasant and service-minded staff, who unfortunately had far too much to do in the evening. New guests were given priority, and we who were supposed to pay were ignored. Generous portions of traditional German meat dishes. Disappointing selection of beer.

Schnitzel, green sauce, Äppler - everything is really good here.

A traditional cider pub. The service is attentive and friendly. A table of 10 people was served almost simultaneously.

A gem in the heart of the city. The beer garden with its old chestnut trees is a lovely place to sit. The food was very good, but the service was a bit mixed.

Unfortunately, we weren't satisfied! It was totally uncomfortable, but I was glad when we were done. There's no Coke Zero... general drinks like Spezi, still water, or Sprite weren't available. The food was okay, but not particularly tasty. The service was very stressed and was arguing with the bartenders, which was noticeable. Not again.

Kanonensteppel is a typical Frankfurt apple wine (Äppelwoi) pub in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen district. The service is excellent and prompt. Requests are fulfilled as far as possible within the existing offerings. Reserving a table is recommended, especially if you're traveling with several people. During our visit, the restaurant was almost full.

2025 and credit cards don't work? Silly.

Drinking a glass of Äppler and leaving everyday life behind – that's what it's like when you walk through the gate into the courtyard of the Kanonesteppel and choose a nice, shady spot. No traffic noise. Just a fun atmosphere, cold drinks, and friendly, prompt service all around.

Good home cooking, nice beer garden, fast service.

Beautiful courtyard, but the menu and the food were absolutely disappointing. The only beer they serve is Erdinger Hefeweizen, nothing else. They've already run out of spaetzle. The potato pancakes were three small, thin frozen ones from the supermarket plus a side salad, which isn't filling at all, and all for a whopping €15. It's simply outrageous for something that isn't even homemade. If you really only want to drink apple wine, then this place might be fine for one evening, but I won't be going back.

Several dishes were out of stock. No problem... My dish just wasn't brought. All my friends got their food, but I didn't! Paying was a disaster! Please improve your service!!

The most unfriendly, inattentive service ever. The food was average. Portions were small. Several dishes were sold out during peak Friday hours. Somehow miserable.

A cozy spot, if it's not the weekend, you'll find this place with the classic fare of an apple wine bar. The food is good and homely. The staff is very friendly. Reservations are recommended on weekends.

Visited on the 65th day of my European trip. I think I've learned enough about the culture. I ordered a lot of food. The service was terrible (I usually don't write reviews) The food was good. There are a lot of locals.

Rustic cider pub, friendly staff. Food was quick, reordering was more difficult but the place was full. Gladly again

A classic apple wine tavern on the Textor. However, there's no beer for non-Hesse residents… Very nice courtyard.

We go to Kanonesteppel regularly and are always impressed! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is rustic and cozy, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. You feel completely at home – we highly recommend it!

Very authentic, great food, reasonably priced and our waitress also very helpful. You could tell it was good by all the locals visiting. Would definitely recommend!

The food was delicious, but the service was truly abysmal. Even honest and constructive feedback was ignored. What a shame!

Apple wine and good, home-style cooking. Nice and cool on hot days. We'd be happy to return.

Before reaching the terrace, you walk through an underpass; Several guests were standing there smoking, and you literally walked through a terrible wall of smoke. Not normally pleasant, but at 29 degrees; terrible!

It's so delicious. I came here on the recommendation of a local Korean. Of all the places I've eaten, this is the best.

Service was slightly overwhelmed; otherwise, as usual, a great place to go

It was pleasant to enjoy a meal at a table in the courtyard in a residential area. My honest impression of the apple wine was that it was just average wine. The Nuremberg sausages were very tasty, and the accompanying sauerkraut and hash browns were also warm and delicious. Payment is cash only, so that's the only thing to note. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I just waited in vain for a quarter of an hour to be served. Then I left.

Once a cult favorite, today it's simply overpriced. Small portions, subpar taste, and you can definitely save yourself the trouble these days. Note: Cash only!

Not a fan of: only cash. It is one of the most known and tasty places in Frankfurt, and then only cash.. it is not a problem to withdraw cash, but still a downer. Food is good ✌️

Nice apple wine restaurant in Sachsenhausen with a lovely courtyard. The food is delicious, but the portions weren't that big, at least for us. One star deducted because there's no card payment option.

Good rustic restaurant with Frankfurt specialties, the apple wine is delicious

Definitely not recommended. The food is mediocre at best and the service is a disaster.

The middle of the three apple wine restaurants on "the island" on Textorstraße. The seating is pleasant in the courtyard under the trees, in our case under the awning when it's raining. The large table was reserved when we arrived at 12:30 p.m., but the waitress explained that guests would arrive later and that we could sit in the corner. At lunchtime, a few regulars were seen taking advantage of "today's inflation special," which refers to a cheap lunch offer with smaller portions. It was from this very "herring inflation special" (which I recognized from the handwriting 😊 😊 😊) that I ate the Königsberger Klops with a wonderfully successful caper cream sauce, with no shortage of unripe flower buds. My companions were very pleased with the handkäs mit Musik (music cheese), turkey gyros, and green sauce with eggs. It wasn't busy on this slightly rainy, humid afternoon. Therefore, the staff, who often stood together and chatted, were certainly attentive to our needs. A lovely old Frankfurt restaurant (since 1906), which I enjoy visiting every now and then.

Super friendly service, good hand cheese...I'll be back. Everything was perfect.

Fantastic food, cider, pleasant rustic ambience and extremely friendly service

Extremely friendly service, good food and delicious vegetarian alternatives.

Tasty food, good value for money

The food was okay, but it could be better. The service was very nice and friendly. It was top-notch. The ambiance would have been great, too, but the tables were so close together that you could hardly move. You were practically sitting back to back with the person in front of you. And that was anything but comfortable.

Very tasty. Large portions, good value for money. The service is in Frankfurt dialect, super friendly, and really quick. If you want to get to know Frankfurt, this is the place for you. Don't forget the lovely medlars for dessert.

It's incomprehensible why people are loudly handling soda crates right next to the dining area...it feels like a drinks dealer...

Always great food and nice atmosphere

As always. Delicious cider and delicious food. And the service is good.

Rustic ambience with good Frankfurt cuisine, very good service and reasonable prices.

Vibe is super, but you can NOT pay with card! Wanna bring back the '90s? Cut the Wi-Fi, not the card reader!

Very pleasant and good for larger groups, but it's best to reserve in advance! The Frankfurt green sauce is highly recommended, as is the house apple wine 😌

I visited this place on my work trip to Frankfurt. I have visited Frankfurt before and I have tried Apfelwein before, but it was never my thing. Until I ended up at this place... I found my love for Apfelwein here as they serve one of the best ones! I also tried traditional dishes and ordered a whole bowl of the famous green sauce on the side. EVERYTHING was delicious. Here I also had my first experience to be seated with strangers at the same table (obviously something quite common) and thus I had a nice conversation with some nice people. Personnel was great as well, very polite, explained in English what I couldn't figure out myself. I would recommend and would go again!

Great “Äppelwoi Restaurant” with a really fantastic beer garden. Very friendly and hardworking staff. The food is typical of Hesse and was very tasty. Price - performance fits. Gladly again!!

Comfortable environment, delicious food

I ordered fried fish. There was potato salad as a side dish. The tartar sauce was nice and creamy. The portion was good. Both the fried fish and the potato salad tasted good. For dessert I ordered hot apple fritters. This one was also delicious. The service was nice.

Food tastes good. Original Sachsenhausen restaurant with a lot of flair.

It's simple, but this is Sachsenhausen 🥰

Beautiful Äppelwoiwirschaft with classic dishes and a beautiful outdoor area.

Rustic cider restaurant with a beautiful courtyard, both in summer and winter. In my opinion, you get the best Frankfurter Schnitzel in the whole city here. The fried potatoes with it are also phenomenal! The apple cider is also very good and is of course part of it. The service is courteous and always on point. Absolute recommendation!

**Authentische Frankfurter Küche im Kanonensteppel – ein echtes Erlebnis** Wir waren im Kanonensteppel in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen und haben einen wunderbaren Abend verbracht. Zur Einstimmung gab’s natürlich eine klassische **Handkäs mit Musik** – genau so, wie er sein soll: herzhaft, aromatisch und perfekt abgeschmeckt. Danach folgte ein echtes Highlight der Frankfurter Küche – das **Frankfurter Schnitzel** mit grüner Soße, außen knusprig, innen zart und wunderbar aromatisch. Dazu tranken wir einen **feinen Weißburgunder** und natürlich durfte auch ein echter **Ebbelwoi** nicht fehlen – herrlich erfrischend und passend zur Atmosphäre. Der **Service war hervorragend** – aufmerksam, herzlich und mit einem charmanten Schuss Frankfurter Originalität. Wer authentische regionale Küche sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Simply great. Rustic, good home cooking. Quality and price are consistent.

Very good staff, open-minded, very friendly and attentive. The apple wine is the tastiest in Frankfurt and the cuisine is wonderful!

This is Frankfurt! No need to say more.

The food is very, very good! There are also small dishes that are definitely filling! The prices are very reasonable. All in all, a great place!

A service worker who lets a dog lick her hands and her extremely long fingernails (she fed the dog by hand) and then brings food and drinks directly to the tables with her licked hands/nails without cleaning them is really disgusting and certainly does not meet hygiene standards. It is - unfortunately increasingly in Frankfurt - only possible to pay in cash. It is generally known what intentions are being pursued with this. We know all the apple wine restaurants in Frankfurt and always change. This was the last time we were in the cannon steppe. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is no longer what it used to be. Admittedly, we have never been treated as unkindly as this time. We were incredibly embarrassed in front of our guests (non-Frankfurters) by how a traditional restaurant presented itself.

Very disappointing. When making the reservation, I had looked on the homepage beforehand for possible "cash payment only" tricks, but found no information. When it was said when paying that card payment was impossible and that it was written everywhere (can only be found on page 2 of the menu), the tone became harsher, including lying that it was also on the homepage. The staff was absolutely unfriendly and impossible. Items had already been written onto the invoice that never arrived at the table. Certainly not a place you would want to return to!

Food was super delicious! Service attentive and very nice. Dogs were welcome and there was a sausage from the chef. Thank you, we would love to come back.

Sometimes it can take a while for the food to arrive but it is very tasty. I don't think it's a bad idea to pay by card if you want to eat there with your family... you also have to have 200-300 euros in cash in your pocket

Yesterday, the five of us spent a wonderful evening at Kanonesteppel. This was partly due to the truly delicious food (everyone loved it) and partly to Janet's absolutely top-notch service. We'd love to come back!

We were with the family and didn't have a good experience at Kanonesteppel! Not more comfortable seating! The expensive food was very salty! We were disappointed! Robert & Simone with the family

Rustic, good food and friendly service

Good food, authentic service, quick, perfect!

Cozy Ebbelwoiwirschaft with good food in the heart of Sachsenhausen.

Locally overcrowded, service overwhelmed, visit unnecessary. There are by far better alternatives for a nice evening with typical Hessian food culture.

The three of us were there before a Eintracht game. It's a really nice cider bar where you immediately feel at home with the very friendly service. Unfortunately, as all the tables filled up, it was difficult to have a conversation (it was very noisy). It is also quite dark, although that does give it a flair. You can tell that the walls are getting old and starting to peel off a bit, unfortunately because they are very beautiful. The food was terrific, German home cooking, but also unusual ones, like the Eintracht Cordon Bleu with hand cheese were a blast! It wasn't the last time we were here.

Yes, very good food from Frankfurt, like from home

Nicely furnished, we were in the greenhouse and it was cozy and warm. Provided with blankets and a heater overhead, we were able to brave the cold outside for longer. Nevertheless, the mood was severely disturbed by the waitress, who was constantly smoking a butt, so ordering wasn't particularly easy. Later, an hour before the end, we were informed four times that it was almost over. As if we couldn't read a clock and that we should leave very punctually, preferably earlier than expected... that ruined everything that evening. Super rude! Despite a good order

Authentic Frankfurt restaurant - Frankfurter Schnitzel really very tasty!

Authentic Äppelwoi pub with delicious specialties and very nice service at fair prices. Danger; cash only!

I went to three famous restaurants nearby that had the same menu. I experienced the worst racism at the first place I went, so I was nervous when going to the restaurant, but they were very friendly and the food was delicious. At other places, the schnitzel is soggy, but here it is thin and crispy. The green sauce here was also the most delicious. Schweinhakse is a style where the meat inside the shell is soft. Of the three places I went to, it was the friendliest and most delicious.

Typical Frankfurt beer garden here, nice schnitzel

A real Frankfurt original! We had the famous Handkäs' with music as a starter - spicy, perfectly seasoned and exactly how you want it. Afterwards there was bratwurst with sauerkraut and puree - classic, hearty and excellently prepared. We also enjoyed a Pinot Blanc that went wonderfully with it. The service was great – attentive, friendly and with a lot of heart for Frankfurt hospitality. The rustic atmosphere makes the Kanonesteppel a real must for lovers of traditional cuisine. We'd love to come back! Gaby & Stefan

I sat down inside the plastic tent. I think non-smokers should avoid it. The food was reasonably good, but four people at the table next to me were taking turns chain-smoking, so I couldn't tell if they were eating schnitzel or chewing tobacco. The tent wasn't well ventilated, so the smell got all over our clothes and bags. In fact, it was there from before we ordered until we finished eating and left. Of course, I know that smoking is allowed in the seats, but I am leaving this review for the benefit of non-smokers. It seems like a good idea to create a separate smoking area. Ich habe einen Platz in einem Zelt genommen, aber Nichtraucher sollten es besser vermeiden. Das Essen war ganz in Ordnung, aber am Nachbartisch haben vier Personen ununterbrochen eine Zigarette nach der anderen geraucht, sodass ich nicht wusste, ob ich ein Schnitzel esse oder eine Zigarette kaue. 😅 Da das Zelt schlecht belüftet war, haben meine Kleidung und meine Tasche den Rauchgeruch komplett aufgenommen. Sie haben wirklich von dem Moment an, als wir bestellt haben, bis wir gegangen sind, durchgehend geraucht. Natürlich weiß ich, dass es ein Raucherbereich ist, aber ich hinterlasse diese Rezension für Nichtraucher, die es vielleicht wissen möchten. Ein separater Bereich für Raucher wäre wirklich sinnvoll.

Rustic traditional cider pub with the best schnitzels. My favorite is the Frankfurter Schnitzel with delicious green sauce and fried potatoes. The cider also tastes good and the service is quick and competent. Always beautiful!

We had reserved a winter cottage. Very tasty food and attentive service.

Here you will find a Frankfurt restaurant where you can meet many "old" Frankfurters. You will see and experience that there is no “fear of contact”. The food, no matter what, is plentiful and always tastes delicious. There is no beer here because it is purely an Äppelwoi economy.

The knuckle felt like it wasn't cooked through, even though it was very well baked on the outside. Unfortunately the cutlery wasn't suitable for cutting the crust. The atmosphere is, let's say, rustic. You can do it, but there are many comparable locations in Frankfurt.

Enjoyed a nice meal with an old friend. I wanted to share a typical experience in a Frankfurt restaurant where everyone shares a bench making it easy to make conversation with total strangers. The food was tasty, service stressed but friendly ( typical for these restaurants). I’ll be back.

Very good Schnitzel with local grüne Soße and Apfelwein. Of course, we couldn't miss Mispelchen :)

Disfrutamos de una buena comida con un viejo amigo. Quería compartir una experiencia típica en un restaurante de Frankfurt donde todo el mundo comparte un banco haciendo que sea fácil hacer conversación con desconocidos totales. La comida era sabrosa, el servicio estresado pero amable (típico de estos restaurantes). Volveré.

Simply wonderful, super tasty schnitzel and extremely friendly service.

Lively traditional restaurant in Frankfurt. Wonderfully friendly girls in service, very warm. The food is authentic and very fairly priced. Also the Ebbelwoi. Clear recommendation

Visité a mis amigos en Frankfurt y estando en Alemania sabía que conseguiría un Wiener Schnitzel vom Kalb. Mi amiga preguntó en Kanonesteppel y confirmaron que lo hacen así que reservó una mesa para el sábado por la noche. Siendo principios de diciembre el lugar estaba lleno de un ambiente animado, pero el servicio era excelente, solo igualado por la calidad de la comida. Fuimos bien atendidos por la encantadora Susann y ella manejó el grupo bastante ruidoso de chicos en su mayoría y un par de chicas con facilidad. Cuando llegaron ya estaban tipy y uno de los chicos más que los demás así que se lució. Mis amigos ya me han invitado de nuevo y espero que hagamos una visita a Kanonesteppel y esperemos ver a la muy eficiente Susann de nuevo. Bis dann.

Always my pleasure. Totally fully booked and stressful before the Eintracht game, only the staff stays calm and the food is good ❣️

The most beautiful restaurant in Frankfurt with the tastiest food. The battle plate is a dream! We have been coming here for many years and enjoy every moment. Many thanks to this great team!

An authentic apple wine bar in Frankfurt Sachsenhausen. Time has almost stood still, the menu is classic. You sit on benches, possibly with others. Prices moderate, food very tasty. Not for chic Micki. Few tourists, many regular guests.

Traditional german food and apple wine

Top shop. Lots going on, despite everyone being quick and friendly. Price performance is right. Pleasant guests. Hand cheese and Äppler were excellent

Great food. Sitting outdoors in glass houses in winter. It was a lot of fun. Any time!

Top 👍 It was super tasty and the staff was great

Unfortunately we waited 1.5 hours for the food :-(

A must in Frankfurt: The Kanonesteppel apple wine tavern The Kanonesteppel apple wine inn is a real highlight and highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Frankfurt's cosiness and delicious food! The very friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere right from the start, and the excellent service rounds off the experience perfectly. The food is simply sensational! In particular, the schnitzel with green sauce and fried potatoes as well as the pork knuckle are real taste experiences and absolutely recommended. Every dish is prepared fresh and with a lot of love - you can taste the quality! The price-performance ratio is also excellent: here you can get first-class food at really fair prices. Add a glass of traditional cider and the evening is perfect. If you love Frankfurt cuisine or want to get to know it, you can't miss the Kanonesteppel. A restaurant that you definitely have to recommend! 🍏🍽️🍻

We, a group of Sachsenhausen school friends, meet there almost every Friday for fish dinner. Speaks for itself.
