Kartoffelburg in Zinnowitz

A nice restaurant with a rustic atmosphere. We were there for lunch on a Thursday with six people. Age groups from children (6) to great-grandmothers were represented. The waiter immediately broke the ice with his relaxed manner and the little one was immediately given something to paint. We were all very satisfied and the food was very tasty and the portions were reasonable. Personally, I can say that the restaurant lives up to its name as the fried potatoes were the best I have ever eaten in a restaurant. We would be happy to come back on our next stay in Zinnowitz.

We came here based on recommendations and we were not disappointed. It tasted very good, although the cauliflower was quite overcooked, but overall recommended.

Great food and plenty!! Friendly service 👌 would be happy again!! Update.... Unfortunately it has become unfriendly and snooty. No longer an alternative for me... What a shame

We ate there on March 14, 2025 and it was super delicious

The ambience is a bit run down now. But you can take a look when you're eating

A really nice shop with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. The food was good – I particularly liked the solyanka. Overall, a little more courage to season would be nice. We felt completely comfortable and would love to come back. Keep it up!

Highly recommended, everything tastes good and is plentiful. 👍

Nice restaurant with good service. A different selection for vegetarians. Price and performance ok.

Farmer's brawn with fried potatoes, with a dark wheat and afterwards a Radeberger bitter... the evening is over!

Very good restaurant with delicious food at an acceptable price.

Habe hier ein Eisbein gegessen. Meine Freude darauf verblasste schnell. Es schwamm auf dem Teller im eigenen Sud. Darunter ertrank das Sauerkraut. Die Kartoffeln waren blass und hart. Alles sehr lieblos angerichtet. Aber die Krönung war auf meine Bitte nach etwas mehr Senf, dass ich zahlreiche abgepackte mini- Senftüten bekam. Das Bauernfrühstück meiner Freundin ging, war jedoch sehr fad im Geschmack. Und wer Bier mag sollte hier lieber nicht hingehen. 0,4 l Lübzer 5,45€, 0,5 l Flasche Budweiser 5,65€. Das ist Wucher. Da trink ich lieber im Hotel Asgard gegenüber . Da ist es selbst in der Cocktailbar deutlich günstiger. War der erste und letzte Besuch dort.

Mediocre is the appropriate word

After a long time we were back in the potato castle. It's a shame, a lot has changed for the worse. Is there perhaps another operator? The food was tasty, but I felt like it wasn't freshly cooked. Because it was definitely served too quickly. The waiter's behavior was not appropriate. This needs to be improved again. More professionalism is definitely appropriate here.

I would prefer not to give any stars. Called a day in advance to reserve. The answer was: "We don't take reservations". A friend was there in the morning and wanted to make a reservation on site. The answer was: "we don't accept reservations". When we were there at 6 p.m., the question came: "Have you made a reservation?" We replied: “No, it wasn’t possible.” “Then unfortunately they have to go.” Very disappointing. I would never face the unfriendly staff again!

Everything was great, I can only recommend it!

We always enjoy eating here. Every time it tastes really delicious, no matter what dish. A big compliment to the kitchen and the service, who are always very friendly and attentive. We can highly recommend the potato castle in Zinnowitz. And would love to come back.

The food was really great. Good selection and location. Highly recommended.

Here you can eat well and attractively. But like everywhere else, the prices have risen quite a bit. In the season you should definitely reserve in advance. Card payment is only possible with Girocard.

Unfortunately, unfriendly staff, almost raw fried potatoes and overpriced prices, and it was also very cold in the restaurant.

Super friendly service!!! The food was delicious, only the fried potatoes were swimming a bit in the oil.

It smells like cigarettes inside. The owner is unsympathetic.

Very cozy pub with very good food. The food is well presented, deliciously cooked, and sufficient in quantity. The calm control of the 2 G rule at the beginning is reassuring.

Matjes with fried potatoes were very tasty, pork knuckle was super plentiful and staff, today Sven was there, totally friendly and attentive. Also one of the few restaurants open out of season, we were very happy to be able to dine here again.

The food was great as always. We come here twice a year, accompanied by our Labbi. Wuffus are welcome. We can only recommend the restaurant.

There were two of us eating and I have to say I'm disappointed. We ate two solyanka as a starter and they arrived after 1 minute and no soups can be ready that quickly, which means they were warmed up in the microwave. Our drinks were both a peach iced tea. We saw and observed this one from Edeka in a tetra pack. In my opinion the drinks are too expensive here and too small, a large glass is 0.3 l. For the main course we ate Jägerschnitzel with pasta and tomato sauce. That tasted good. The price was also great, but the tomato sauce was watery, which we paid for two people: €55.00. So we don't come here anymore. I'm sorry, the prices are just enormously too expensive here (for ready-made food). I hope it helps you, because this review is true.

Food was okay, service too. It's a shame that dogs are tolerated in the restaurant.

We were in the potato castle for the first time. You couldn't make a reservation. So we decided to go there early. We were there around half past five and there were still tables available. The service was quick and very nice. Drinks and food came quickly. The tables were filled quickly and were the first to wait in the entrance to get a table. The waiter also took good care of these guests and provided information about the situation and possible waiting times. I thought that was very good. The food was very tasty and value for money was right. The restaurant is small and rustically furnished. The selection of dishes is not that big, but there is something for everyone. Everyone can find something there. There doesn't have to be a lot of choice, the important thing is that everything tastes good.

Quaint decor, nice service and very good food. Everything freshly prepared and very filling.

It's okay to have a small snack in between. The DDR Jägerschnitzel was ready in 5 minutes and was swimming in oil, but the rice pudding was highly recommended

Whenever we are in Zinnowitz we go to the potato castle. Be sure to try the Hamburg schnitzel. However, the farmer's breakfast was more of an oversalted omelet and the liver was burnt.

Der Kellner war sehr nett und es ist sehr gemütlich, das ist aber auch das einzig gute was ich sagen kann, das Essen war fürchterlich, wir hatten Röstbrädel , das Fleisch war labberich und schwammt in Essig/ Zitronensaft ,ein kleiner Esslöffel Krautsalat und dazu ein par Bratkartoffeln.. Sehr enttäuschend.

Food without spices :-( Glass of water as expensive as cola :-(

We had dinner there today. What can you say, everything was great. My children thought the food was great. The service was very friendly and fond of children. The ambience was very nice.

It was a successful meal. Nice service.

Unfortunately the fries were still half raw. The drinks taste like there is sweetener everywhere. We won't come back

Going out for a delicious meal works here. Ate mega schnitzel and fish soup.

Super tasty and very friendly service.. wasn't the last visit.. I'm looking forward to the next time

We ate very well. Food as you know it from before. Unfortunately there is no reservation option. We had just managed to get the last table. And anyone who appreciates North German humor is in good hands with the boys. We'd love to come back

Mediocre food, the potato pockets tasted like frozen goods. The service made us wait forever for the bill, even though there were hardly any people in the restaurant

I come to Zinnowitz every year - recharge my batteries for a weekend and always stop here - very tasty - great value for money and not a copy of pizza and the like - I'll definitely come back... you guys are great

solid and traditional furnishings and nice service. Very classic German food which is okay for the price

Wir waren zu dritt. Alle Tische waren voll. Wir haben 5 min gewartet und es hat sich gelohnt. Lecker Essen, super nette Bedienung. Wir kommen wieder.

The food was ok, especially the children's meals. Good portions, appropriate for the price. Otherwise nothing outstanding, pretty unseasonable and a lot of frozen food. The service was super nice, very prompt and extremely attentive - thank you for that!

Top gastronomy, everything fresh and delicious, always with pleasure

Wir waren alle begeistert , das Essen war super . Die Bedienung war richtig gut drauf und hatte trotz extrem vollem Haus immer ein lächel im Gesicht . Ich weiss nicht warum manche immer was zum mäckern suchen , wir waren alle begeistert und sehr zufrieden . Großen Dank an die Küche und an das restliche Team es war ein geiler Abend bei euch ! Danke dafür , so erlebt man das selten ✌🏼😎👍🏼 !

There were six of us here and we got a place without a reservation. I ordered a farmer's breakfast, which tasted good, you can't go wrong. Unfortunately there was only a single pickle as a fresh side dish. I found that very poor and actually annoyed me. We also ordered the dish with the Grützwurst. Enough grützwurst but only 2 potatoes with it??? A spoon would have come in handy at this point. Saving in the wrong place. The service, oh no, the waiter was a bit strange in his manner and we sat several times in front of empty glasses before this was noticed, even though people often walked past the table. Too bad. All in all...you can't justify everything with a lack of staff, we were fed for two people for 65 euros, but there is definitely room for improvement.

Wir waren zu sechst hier, haben ohne Reservierung einen Platz erhalten. Ich habe ein Bauernfrühstück bestellt, welches geschmacklich gut war, kann man ja nicht viel falsch machen. Leider war als frische Beilage nur eine einzige Gewürzgurke dabei. Das fand ich schon sehr dürftig und hat mich tatsächlich geärgert. Desweiteren hatten wir noch das Gericht mit der Grützwurst bestellt. Ausreichend Grützwurst aber nur 2 Kartoffeln dazu??? Ein Löffel wäre an der Stelle praktisch gewesen. An falscher Stelle gespart . Die Bedienung, ach nein, der Bediener war schon etwas merkwürdig in seiner Art und wir saßen mehrfach lange vor leeren Gläsern, ehe dieses bemerkt wurde, obwohl oft am Tisch vorbeigelaufen wurde. Schade. Alles in allem.....man kann nicht alles mit Personalmangel rechtfertigen, sind für 65,- euro zu zweit satt geworden, aber es gibt definitiv Verbesserungspotential.

Unfortunately, the farmer's breakfast was fried to death, the ambience and service were ok

Unfortunately, the farmer's breakfast was far too dry, the atmosphere was great, the service was great

Friendly service and delicious food. Would come again.

Cozy and quaint restaurant. The food was excellent, the service team was friendly. Clear recommendation!

Food is very good, tasty and plentiful as well as nice service 😋

The food was really delicious! We ordered apple strudel for dessert, which also tasted very good! The service was also very friendly. We can definitely recommend the potato castle!

Wie immer super freundlich. Da nur innen bedient wurde durfte unsere Hündin problemlos mit rein. Kartoffelpuffer wie erwartet knusprig und frisch. Wir kommen immer gerne wieder.

The food was beautifully and attractively prepared, but it was very salty. My daughter had to drink a lot and you should be very careful when it comes to children's meals. I had the feeling that there was a lot of frozen food: from broccoli to potato wedges. It's a shame... Otherwise the staff was very nice and a calm atmosphere.

Delicious food, fast service, good service and is still affordable.

The very nice and friendly waitress accompanied us to our table, there were 5 of us. The choice of food we made really surprised us: the large portions were beautifully presented on the plates or platters. We were served our hot food at the same time, it tasted excellent. Conclusion: we would love to come back. Thanks to all employees

Food wasn't particularly good, tasted like ready-made food. I had a vegetable casserole, too much cream, not very seasoned, vegetables crunchy but too big. Price-performance ratio is still very poor for a mini portion. For families with children or cars, no help for a place and a smoke-free zone outside is also not possible.

Kind regards from Berlin, the homemade potato pancakes were really awesome, highly recommended. Kind regards to the team

After being on the road all morning our stomach was growling. The restaurant spoke to us. After we entered the first two meters of the restaurant we were greeted with a very abrupt "we're full" instead of a hello. But when you looked around there were tables available (without a reserved sign). This impression is lasting and will ensure that we never set foot there again.

Delicious and plentiful food and friendly service

The offer was excellent. But Wednesday is best. There are plenty of potato pancakes for lunch. We won't miss this. Made it yourself. PERFECT, just don't stop.

We are here on vacation and were looking for a restaurant. We got a table quickly. We also eat and the service was great. Some people may complain about prices... but everyone should be happy to tip for what's on their plate. We can recommend it and would definitely come back. Thanks

Very tasty food. Attentive conditions. Gladly again. 😊

Top restaurant, very friendly service in a very full restaurant. Can always be recommended!!!

Essen ging so. Kellner wirkten sehr pampig / abgehangen. Portionen lassen zu wünschen übrig. Preis Leistung passt null Prozent

Our first choice on our first evening Tuesday September 4th, 2024 The service was very nice but unfortunately too rare because there was a problem with communication, which was easily resolved after we asked, so it wasn't a problem Food was very tasty Great cucumber salad Super fresh fish and fried potatoes were probably from the same day, which unfortunately didn't make it perfect but only very good. Little tip Always use the potatoes from the day before then the fried potatoes are perfect. The casserole lacked a bit of love and that certain something. Still tasty This is complaining at a high level Unfortunately, the service was often not seen for a long time and therefore only 4 stars. I think we will still come back here if we come to Zinnowitz again.

The food was good as always, we would love to come back.

Really delicious dishes that also fill you up. The children were also thought of, there were pens and something to color in to keep them busy. The staff is also really relaxed and friendly. Can only be recommended

The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly, service 1 A. I would love to come here again. Highly recommended.

The food is quite okay. The farmer's breakfast looked a bit strange. More like an omelet. But taste good. Unfortunately, the service was very inattentive during our visit. You were hardly noticed and orders were forgotten. You found a spot in the beer garden pretty quickly. Whereas you had to wait quite a long time to get a seat in the restaurant. Parking spaces are very scarce in Zinnowitz and not close by.

Very nice service. The restaurant will probably always be very full, so reservations are definitely an advantage. Moderate prices, very tasty food. Also for the kids.

We went here for lunch. First of all, I have to say that this was definitely the best service during our two-week Usedom vacation. The waiter was quick, friendly, attentive and really great. The pub itself is rustically furnished. Unfortunately, the food wasn't quite ours. My fried potatoes were still very al dente and my wife's ribs were unfortunately too dry. Probably just a bad day we will definitely try again on our next vacation. Another positive thing to mention is that our dog was welcome and got his own water bowl.

Pretty unfriendly waiter. Overwhelmed, due to a lack of manpower only tables on the terrace were served. As a result, there was no more space.

Definitely one of the best pork knuckles I've ever eaten. If you don't eat pork knuckle here, it's your own fault. Great service. Keep it up.

The food was very tasty even if you weren't really full.

You didn't have to wait long for the food. It was delicious. Friendly service. Can be recommended ☺️

We ordered the GDR pasta dish with Jäger Schnitzel, a total failure, pasta was cold and overcooked, the water was still floating on the plate - disgusting The Jägerschnitzel on top were fresh and tasty - water 0.2 - 3.64€ very sporty price The waiter was nice, but unfortunately not very attentive

Very tasty food at a reasonable price. We ate there a total of 3 times. In the evening you may have to wait a few minutes. In any case a recommendation.

Trotz einer vielzahl von negativen bewertungen haben wir uns trotzdem durchgerungen und uns an dem abend für die kartoffelburg entschieden. Leider hat man schon am empfang die überforderung des personals miterleben können. dank unserer aktiven hilfe bei der platzwahl konnten wir nach längerer wartezeit endlich einen tisch besetzen. wir empfanden aus eigener sicht die bedienung als sehr schnippisch und anmaßend. Die getränke sowie die vorspeise wurde recht zeitnah serviert . Die soljanka hat gut gemundet . nebenbei konnte man beobachten wie einige gäste sehr lange auf die speisekarte warten mussten. Der hauptgang war eher mäßig bis kaum genießbar ... das schweineschnitzel war sehr fade ebenfalls das brätel. das tk gemüse war zerkocht . alles in allem haben sich hier einige negative bewertungen leider bestätigt . das preis leistungsverhältnis hat für uns nicht gestimmt .

We're always happy to come back. Super.

Very great location, service and food were great. Always happy again 😄😄

Wonderful food. When we are in Zinnowitz we always have to eat here. Top staff. Funny, relaxed. The pork knuckle is highly recommended and the chicken breast was super tasty. There are enough seats. However, you cannot reserve here.

We ate there with 4 people. The food came very quickly, which is not a good sign for me and unfortunately everyone didn't like it at all. 3 main courses, 1 soup, 4 drinks 120 € .... unfortunately thumbs down!!!!

Food was delicious. Prices for the food are okay. Prices for drinks, however, a bit expensive.

Without a reservation, we went inside to a four-person table. Unfortunately the interior is a bit worn. The tables are quite narrow. There may be a general overhaul here. The food scores points for that. Everything was fine here, no matter which plate you looked at. Around 20 euros for a main course and four drinks together with 96 euros, the price is definitely justified these days and for the location. The service is quick and courteous. A spilled beer was immediately corrected. The choice of food is varied and people nostalgic for the GDR, as well as the future generation, are sure to find something tasty here. All extra requests were made possible.

This is our second time in Zinnowitz and we have only just discovered this great restaurant. You can immediately tell that the food is prepared here with a lot of love. The service is very friendly and sometimes has a relaxed saying - highly recommended

We wanted to reserve a table for 7 people the day before our attempt to eat at the potato castle. This was also rejected due to the fact that it is not easy to find a table in the holiday resorts without a reservation. We auditioned based on the staff's recommendation and were able to eat at a typical table for four with additional chairs at the front and a children's chair. The table alone seemed far too small for us. When I asked if it would be possible to push two tables together, this was refused. So we couldn't eat in the potato castle that evening. We were very disappointed because in our opinion it would not have been a problem to put two tables together. Not recommended for larger groups or families.

Wanted to eat out in a group of 7 people, no problem in previous years. At first a reservation was not accepted and you had to come by if you were lucky. Seven people were then supposed to sit at a table for 6 people; there was no way to push two tables together. Unfortunately the service has declined over the last year. We then visited another restaurant.

My daughter and I are always thrilled with the food. Everything tastes delicious and the prices are justified. In my opinion, the portions here are at least fresh and sufficient, in contrast to many other restaurants in Zinnowitz. The service staff are very nice and we also have our favorite employee 👻 Every holiday there has/is/will be one to three visits there 😎

The food was very tasty. We were very satisfied, even though the cucumber salad only came at the end, apparently as a dessert. The bill shocked us a little. To be honest, we have never experienced a 0.4 Diet Coke for €7.90. A 0.4 Diet Coke wasn't on the menu either

Reservations are not possible in advance, not even as a larger group. Arrived shortly after 5 p.m., many tables free, but it is not possible for several people to sit together. Even when asked again. We found another location. Thanks for nothing.

We were just in the potato castle. What can I say, I had to return the first dish because it was cold on the inside. Ok, it can happen. But the fried fish was definitely frozen from the wholesaler and the fried potatoes were terribly bad. I can't recommend the restaurant more. - 1 🌟

Fried potatoes so bad, it couldn't be worse. Not even crispy and made from 2 potatoes. Matjes ok, salad and tartar sauce a bit. Prices outrageous and first of all the drinks menu. There is better in Zinnowitz.

Very nice service and delicious food, the fried potatoes are great!

Went here for dinner today and it was really good, service was quick and very friendly. When I ordered a starter, I was immediately asked whether I wanted the main meal for my daughter to come with it. It's rare, but we've thought about it here, so I can only recommend it!!!

We wanted to visit the potato castle as a group. Seven of us were supposed to sit at a table for six. Unfortunately there was no way to push tables together.

Bedienung super, ging perfekt auf unsere Wünsche ein. Essen top. Erinnerungen an alte Zeiten wurden hier zur Wirklichkeit. Nur zu empfehlen.

Wir waren 2x innerhalb von paar Tagen und wurden jedesmal nicht enttäuscht, wir hatten das Hamburger Schnitzel mit Champignons Soße extra. Das Essen war das Geld (25euro) wert!!!! Ein Klasse Schnitzel mit Super Beilagen und super lecker Wir kommen nächstes Jahr aufjedenfall wieder. Bedienung/Kellner war völlig ok und nett trotz aller Bemerkungen hier ..... Diese Lokalität ist definitiv zu empfehlen!!!!

I was quartered in Zinnowitz with my daughter. The food was very good and filling. Staff very nice.
