Kartoffelhaus "Alter Speicher" in Bad Harzburg

Absolutely not recommended! The service was friendly, but the food was inedible. On top of that, it was so cold that many guests were sitting there wrapped in blankets.

This was our first time at this restaurant – and it was also our last. It was really cold inside, and when we asked about it, they simply dismissed it as the weather outside. The wait for our food was extremely long. What was particularly annoying was that our child's meal arrived about 30 minutes before ours, so it was finished long before we could even start eating. The schnitzel was cafeteria quality, very dry, and absolutely not worth the high price. The appetizer was also frozen. The service was unprofessional as well: when clearing the table, the dishes were stacked hastily and carelessly, and some even fell off. Overall, a disappointing visit – we definitely cannot recommend it.

I went there for a meal with a friend using a coupon booklet. The food is generally good, but unfortunately, the cellar was cold when I ordered my venison goulash, and I also had to send back the red cabbage (it was cold) 🫣. The "Hunter's Style" schnitzel was good 😋. You can eat at the Kartoffelhaus (Potato House) (except in winter >even with the heating on full blast, it was cold<), even though it's more expensive 🖐❗️

Delicious food and very friendly service. We arrived right when the kitchen opened and received our food quickly. Parking can be a bit of a gamble, but you do have a chance of finding a spot right in front of the restaurant. We would definitely come back again.

We were told to leave immediately after eating! The food was okay, but some of it was overcooked and burnt. When we pointed this out, they offered neither a discount nor an apology.

Boneless pork knuckle. I recommend it.

Parking on the street is not always easy because of the crowds.

I'm sitting in the restaurant right now—I originally wanted the venison goulash—sold out, then the roast—sold out. It's annoying when the most expensive dishes are sold out, but whatever, I got a schnitzel. Everything was great—excellent service. A really lovely place. Thanks!

The ambiance is very rustic with lots of decorative items (e.g., witches that fit the region well) – if that's your thing, it's certainly very nice. However, my partner's food was already partially cold, and the schnitzel was undercooked in places. At almost €26 for a schnitzel, I found it quite expensive. The staff was very friendly, but also a bit pushy (we were asked if we were enjoying our meal before I'd even taken a bite). It's certainly nice when guests are given such attentive service, but for a meal for two, it felt a bit excessive.

The witch's pan is highly recommended. The dish looks small and manageable, but it's more than enough.

Delicious food, not the most cozy but okay, price-performance ratio is perfectly fine.

Delicious food, and the service was very friendly and attentive. The only downside was that the room temperature could have been a little warmer.

Nice restaurant, friendly staff, and delicious food. We'd gladly return.

We were two adults and one child (12). The food was excellent, truly delicious and fresh. We received a friendly welcome, and the service was first-class. Our every request was attended to immediately. We can definitely recommend the restaurant. We will definitely be back.

Very tasty and plentiful. Great service. Reservations are required, otherwise you're out of luck. Excellent value for money!

Cozy restaurant and friendly staff, food was delicious, we just wish the schnitzel had been pounded and breaded ourselves.

There wasn't a long wait. The food was delicious.

Delicious food, a bit chilly in the restaurant

The food was very good and the service was very friendly and attentive.

The venison goulash is highly recommended! The baked potato is good value for money.

We had a lovely evening with delicious schnitzel. The service was very friendly and attentive. If we're in the area again, this will be our place to go.

Very good restaurant with very friendly waiters. Amir, in particular, was very friendly and accommodating.

I'd be happy to come again. I don't understand the negative reviews. Everyone was very friendly without it seeming forced. Young team 💞Keep up the good work, you're doing a great job.

We did it again, visiting this restaurant on September 14, 2025, and September 20, 2025. While we were always satisfied before, we are now very satisfied. The young waiters do their best, but the chef outdid himself this time with the charcoal-grilled pan. Great team, keep up the good work, and see you next time.

I can't recommend it. The food is much more expensive, but you only get frozen food; nothing is freshly prepared. Any cafeteria can do that for half the price.

I thought the Linguine al Funghi was truly delicious. The service was also friendly and attentive, even though the restaurant was full.

I was absolutely thrilled! The food arrived very quickly and piping hot – no long wait. I particularly want to highlight the Harzburger Hexenpfanne (Hexenpan): super fresh, served perfectly warm, and incredibly juicy. The weekly special with the meatballs was also a real highlight – spicy, tender, and simply delicious. You can tell the love goes into the cooking here. Highly recommended; I'd love to come back!

The food is nothing special, but it's quite expensive. The price/performance ratio isn't right in my opinion. The chef, or boss—I couldn't quite identify who it was—who yells and insults the staff so loudly that every guest can hear it is unpleasant for everyone and highly unprofessional. The service was attentive.

Unfortunately, we didn't have a particularly good experience at this restaurant. We took the initiative and got our menus fairly quickly. We placed our orders upon request. The food didn't arrive for 1.5 hours. When we asked, we were told that the kitchen wasn't receiving orders due to technical problems. Other guests took even longer to receive their food. Unfortunately, the food didn't taste great either. The Köhler schnitzel pan contained grilled chicken, which didn't quite go well with the creamed mushrooms. The side dishes, such as fried potatoes and croquettes, were probably fried in old fat. In summary, we can't recommend this restaurant. We won't be going back. The service was attentive, but seemed very disorganized and had obviously lost track of things. On the positive side, the ambiance was fine and quite pleasant. However, it was also quite cold in the restaurant. Overall, it wasn't a great experience for us.

After waiting 45 minutes for two schnitzels, we'd had enough... The place was only half full... 2 beers and 1 apple spritzer for €16.70... Prices like in a restaurant...! A hunter's schnitzel was almost €25... Never again...

Delicious food! Friendly service…highly recommended!

We waited a long time for the food to arrive, even though it wasn't very busy. Unfortunately, the food was bland, not particularly well presented, and more like cafeteria food in terms of quality.

Homely?...Kitchen and staff rather upscale

The food was delicious, with something for everyone. The service was excellent. We were all satisfied. I can only recommend it.

We came here with a gift card, everything worked out great. The staff was quick and very friendly. The food was good, but a bit too greasy for me personally. (onion schnitzel and Wiener Schnitzel)

Super-friendly staff and super-delicious food! That's exactly what you go for... Perfect

A cozy restaurant with friendly, attentive staff. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable. A restaurant that's a pleasure to visit. Dogs are also welcome.

The ambiance was clean but dated. The service was very friendly, although the chef's shouting, which could be heard all the way into the dining room, was a bit unpleasant. The bill for one adult and two children was quite high at €70. The food was okay but either too bland or too salty.

The food was delicious, even though we had to wait almost 40 minutes for a bruschetta appetizer. The main course arrived after an hour. So bring your time and don't be too hungry.

Delicious food. But very small portions for the price.

It's a shame when you reserve a table weeks in advance, only to receive a reminder like the one attached the next morning that you have a reservation for that evening, and the hosts are delighted. Then we stand in front of the restaurant, and they have a sign saying they're on vacation, which started two days before. Why then are appointment reminders sent out? We just managed to get a table at the next restaurant and had a delicious meal there. But the service at the Alter Speicher only gets one star from me. Because that's not service at all. Dear guest, We would like to remind you of your reservation! These are your reservation details: #1HQgKv 2 guests July 19, 2025 at 5:30 PM We look forward to your visit! Best regards, Kartoffelhaus "Alter Speicher"

We had two delicious meals. Once with Karfoffelsuppe and Schnitzel Wiener Art, and once with Schnitzel Hawaii. The portions were generous and the flavor was delicious. The service was prompt and responsive.

German food mostly, good service, possible to get common drinks of high quality. Very cozy place, with a beautiful outdoor serving area.

I had the potato casserole and didn't find it very tasty... for dessert there were fried apple rings... somehow everything had a bit of a fast-food feel...

I can recommend it 100%, it's very tasty.

your food causes stomachaches and is way too overpriced for what you sell

Very delicious food and very friendly staff, I could only recommend

Great service. Great food. We'll be back.

Highly recommended. We missed the potato dishes, so it's one star less.

Super friendly staff. The food was delicious.

Great food, great service, would go back anytime👍👍👍👍👍

Delicious, well-chosen and varied dishes. Very good service.

Very friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The food arrived within a reasonable time. The portions were truly generous and delicious.

Very friendly staff, food was great. I'd be happy to go again.

I would have loved to review this restaurant. We wanted to go for dinner today (Tuesday) at 7 p.m. Unfortunately, everything was dark, the door was locked, and there was no indication at the restaurant or online as to why it was closed or that it was closed.

Delicious potato dishes, friendly staff, great, would go back..

The food was very tasty and we felt very comfortable

We went to the potato house with our voucher. The online reservation worked great. The staff was really nice and on the ball. We actually would have liked more potato dishes. For example, a farmer's omelette or more selection of casseroles. There were dishes with chicken, pork, deer and also fish. Reordering of supplements was made without any problems at no extra charge. We didn't have to wait long for the food. The portions weren't exactly small and we were all full. All dishes were very, very tasty.

Sehr netter Service, angenehme Atmosphäre, Essen sehr lecker. Man kann einen Besuch in diesem Lokal absolut empfehlen.

Nice restaurant at the beginning we thought oh everything was empty, we were the only guests. But ok, we were early too. After a short time she filled the restaurant well, despite it being a weekday. Service was very nice and friendly. The food was good, it didn't look like much at first, but it looked impressive. The portion was completely sufficient, I didn't finish everything. We'd be happy to come back again when we're in the Harz Mountains.

The food was wonderful, we had the roast pork and linguine al funghi was very tasty. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The ambience needs to be refreshed a bit but otherwise highly recommended.

Super delicious food! It would have been nice to have been warned by the service staff that the food would take some time to be ready. Even more of a smile would have been nice. But otherwise everything was great.👍🏻

A very nice and lovingly designed restaurant. Even without a reservation, we were able to get a place (with a large dog) at short notice. We were also seated dog-friendly at the edge at a large table. The service was great and the food was very tasty.

The schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce was great. The fried potatoes were also very good.

Actually quite good. Given the name, we would have expected at least homemade potato products.

The prices are absolutely exorbitant. We were there with 8 people. Although we counted the meals at the end, one meal was forgotten. Every meal came with ready-made sauces. My onion schnitzel for €21 doesn't deserve the name. Mayo cost €1 per bag. Staff arrogant and unreasonable. We're never coming back.

The food was good. Unfortunately, the star deduction is for the mini portion of bruschetta.

We came by here looking for a restaurant and found it very cozy, very crowded and little space at peak times between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. We were lucky enough to get two seats. The food was good and plentiful. From us 👍. Recommended

I think you have to decide for yourself, I probably won't go there again. My wife and I were there with the voucher book (order 2 dishes, the cheaper one is free) and we also informed them in advance. The taste of the food was ok. My wife had a schnitzel with broccoli, I decided on a roast pork. Unfortunately, the roast pork was only lukewarm. We had ordered a table beforehand, but got the so-called shaving seat, almost at the door. It was drafty and was cold, despite that Curtains.So it's better to go in the summer.So of course it wasn't really any fun.When I paid, it turned out that my dish didn't meet the requirements of the voucher booklet. We weren't told that when we ordered. There was a billing for two dishes. The waitress then just wanted to ignore the matter and became discreetly bitchy. When I told her that this was now her problem, she bitched for a moment but then agreed. If I hadn't been stubborn, she would have ripped us off. So, it's important to ask beforehand when visiting which dishes are covered by the voucher book and which are not. I had the impression that there was a conscious attempt to charge in full it works, sometimes it doesn't work.

Nice atmosphere, terrace facing the busy main street, a little quieter inside. Attentive service, got the cat and the drinks quickly and diligently. The cutlery was missing for the starter. Main course very rich and tasty. Fresh and homemade. Prices are ok, well attended. Be sure to reserve. We'd love to come back. Only recommended

Enjoy your meal. Attentive friendly staff.

Visited on February 7th, 2025 A nice cozy restaurant in Bad Harzburg. Harzburger pan consumed for dinner. Highly recommended.

We ate here on February 1st, 2025 and we will definitely come back, despite an hour's drive. The service was very friendly and we didn't have to wait very long for drinks and food.

Delicious food in a beautiful location with friendly service.

You can't complain about the food. As described, rustic and plentiful. We were traveling with 2 children. It felt like there wasn't any heating inside, warm drinks other than tea weren't possible because the machine was broken and ultimately the price level was way too high.

Very good service and tasty food. We'll be back.

Super tasty, very friendly and the food was ready very quickly. We'd love to come back!

We were there in September 2021, the following report reflects the actual experiences!! Devastating, ordered drinks, all well and good, after about 30 minutes, ordered new drinks for the second time, everything was fine, they came after about 10 minutes each. The food we ordered after the first drink was only served after over an hour. My wife had the Harzburger pan with pepper sauce, I had the Köhler pan with mushroom cream sauce. The pepper sauce was more of a broth, which was still not a "sauce" even after it was returned and supposedly "thickened", the mushroom cream sauce was more of a mushroom pudding, but what was positive here was that the mushrooms seemed to be fresh, the meat was dry and sober and drowned in sauce. Paying a sum of 16 and 17 euros for two small chicken fillets and two mini pork steaks (probably minute steaks here) is quite steep. Then the fried potatoes, so please, whoever calls them fried potatoes has never seen real fried potatoes, let alone eaten them. All in all, this restaurant is not recommended even for those with a small appetite. During our visit here, three other tables next to us complained that the liver they ordered was tough, the potato soup was inedible, the mashed potatoes were like semolina and the schnitzel was bland and fried to death in the pan again. If you want to go home hungry after visiting a restaurant, this is 100% the right place! One of the restaurants that I certainly cannot and will not recommend. After this visit, we picked up a better menu from the pizzeria around the corner. Addendum to the answer. We were keen, in a good mood and weren't looking for mistakes☝️ They already made the template themselves, it's strange that after we left the restaurant, no one was sitting in the area where we were sitting, those who were sitting there with us all complained themselves, as did we, but apparently a slight criticism is offensive, right to react with arrogance. The fact is that we also complained about the food, but they were skillfully ignored 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️.....In hindsight, I would advise them to rethink and improve their concept because of this gastronomic catastrophe was served to three tables with a total of 9 people this evening is actually a sign that something is wrong, or you haven't mastered something! Great reaction from the owner, who now wants to silence a creator because of defamation on Google. Just because the facts of the review paint a negative picture. What reflects the experience. It's a shame and a clear sign that you can't seem to deal with critical and negative reviews, since we're not the only ones who rate things like that here. It probably has its reasons.

Food good, good menu, service good and friendly, prices okay, dining room comfortable. Gladly again, thumbs up👍

Service was only partially receptive, ordering the drinks went quickly. Unfortunately you had to wait over an hour for the food, and the sauce was too thick for one dish and too runny for the other dish 🤦 hints about this were skilfully ignored.

very taste food very nice atmosper,in bad harzburg it is good restoran

Meat didn't taste good at all, different dishes Service was friendly. But it took a very long time, even though there was little going on. It was cold in the restaurant. Carpeting is also not an advantage.

Eaten more often. Would also happily return. Beautiful dishes. Well prepared and also served at a high temperature.

We had to sit a bit cramped! The food, pan-fried schnitzel variations, was very good! Despite being busy, the service staff was very friendly, attentive and quick! If you don't want to eat extravagantly, but want to eat well and for a reasonable price, you can't go wrong with a visit!

I don't know why it's still called the potato house, but the grill doesn't fit here. There are schnitzel and pan-fried dishes here. Unfortunately, the price and size didn't convince me. The taste and the way it was prepared reminded me a lot of commercial kitchens. Maintenance sauce and hairdresser's schnitzel. The price is too high. This is something that needs to be worked on as a matter of urgency. You can't get Jannik as a regular customer like that.

Very friendly welcome and the service was also great. Everything went quickly without a long wait. And the food is very tasty and varied. I think during the holiday season you would have to reserve in advance.

....without many words... ... delicious food....👍 ... super nice service...😃 ... a recommendation for every local and guest of this city

Neither the ambience nor the food are really convincing. The dishes are rustic and prepared with little love. Unfortunately the quality of the food is also not good. A lot of things taste like finished products that absolutely don't match the high prices. The beer was great!

Noch nie so schlecht gegessen; vom Service ganz zu schweigen! Das "Essen" bestand aus einer Anhäufung von Tiefkühlkost, insbesondere die Beilagen Bratkartoffeln, Pommes und Kroketten mit Tütensoßen waren kaum eßbar. Was sich hinter dem Fleisch verbarg, wollten wir lieber erst gar nicht wissen. Nachdem wir unseren Unmut über die Qualität der Speisen kundgetan hatten, wurde der "Koch" aus der Küche an unseren Tisch zitiert...mehr als peinlich! Kundenservice geht anders! Am Rande sei noch erwähnt, dass sich der Service nicht imstande sah, das von uns bestellte "Schöfferhofer Grapefruit" vor dem Einschenken aufzuschütteln, sodass der Bodensatz mit dem Fruchtanteil bis zum Schluß verblieb.

Were there on Monday evening... simply delicious and good 😀😀🐶

Centrally located, there is fairly simple cuisine at reasonable prices. Friendly service.

Very tasty food. We would be happy to come back the next time we visit Bad Harzburg.

Were there for the first time. Even though everything was fully booked, the four of us still managed to get a table before opening time. Harzburger potato rösti and deer goulash were delicious and served in a friendly and courteous manner. Will come back when we are back in the country.

Friendly service, very good food. The only complaint was the noise in the restaurant. Conversations at the table were difficult at first (including dogs barking)...when it emptied later it was perfect.

It was nice from the outside, nice service and you actually got a seat spontaneously. But unfortunately I didn't think the food was that good. So yes you can eat it. But it wasn't so outstanding that I would want to go there again.

The food has gotten better. It was delicious.

Very good food...nice staff...highly recommended!!!

We ate here twice within a week because it was so delicious. If we're in the area again, we'd love to come back!

Always tasty! We come here every time we vacation in Bad Harzburg and have never been disappointed. There is something for everyone. Everything tasted great and a super nice team. Always happy to come back!
