Kirchawirt Sankt Englmar in Sankt Englmar

We happened to drive by, but it was closed. There are no opening hours listed, and no other indication of why it was closed. Here on Google, it said it was open. A shame; it's not particularly informative for tourists from outside.

We stumbled upon this inn quite by chance. The service is excellent, the food was quick, and delicious. We all (two adults and two children) enjoyed it immensely. It was also great value for money. We were pleasantly surprised: the children were given a bowl of water and dish soap afterward so they could wash their hands, which they both really enjoyed. If we're ever in St. Englmar again, we'll visit you again :)

The food was abysmal, too expensive for what we got. The schnitzel seemed to have been dipped in the fat twice. There was an unidentifiable sauce floating around the grill. Every half-empty plate was taken away. Pushy, unfriendly. It doesn't deserve a single star.

I don't understand the bad reviews. It's the only restaurant in this dump that's open for lunch!! But...you should know a bit of Russian.

The food (liver sausage and chicken) was good. Spätzle with sauce was a bit greasy. Prices were reasonable. Cash only is a bit outdated these days.

Small portions with little flavor. Unfortunately, card payments aren't accepted. When will restaurateurs finally realize they're losing customers?!

Comfortably furnished, and prices quite reasonable. The food is okay, nothing special. Service was friendly.

Typical German food in a nice atmosphere. Food comes out quick and service was friendly and good.

One star is still too many! We've never experienced anything like this before!!! We were expecting a Bavarian restaurant, but were disappointed by the rude and unprofessional behavior. We walked in and it was deserted. The unfriendly waitress showed us a seat. No hello, nothing. The radio was blaring, and when I mentioned it, the waitress only responded with "Why?" Then, after a two-minute wait, the food arrived. The waitress had asked us if the food was tasty. When we politely said that the dumplings weren't tasty, she called the chef, who became loud and aggressive: "Everyone likes it here, except you – then go eat somewhere else!" Card payment wasn't possible (it wasn't noted anywhere), and even though we'd barely touched the food, we were asked to pay the full price. Two hours later, we both feel extremely sick, have severe stomach aches – and looking through the many negative reviews, it's clear that disrespectful service and an aggressive chef have been mentioned several times. Never again! It's really unbelievable how long they can last after all the bad reviews!

Everything tasted great, very cozy restaurant, nice hosts

We arrived just before the kitchen closed, and they kept the kitchen open longer for us. The food was extremely delicious and served super quickly. Highly recommended!

We went there for coffee and had some great cake, very friendly service, great to sit outside

The vegetables were very soft on the outside and still frozen on the inside. Unfortunately, all the sauces were ready-made. The coleslaw had a strangely fishy and sweet taste, so we didn't eat it all. The fries had been in the fryer too long and were very dark. The waitress was friendly at first, but after we gave her some nice, helpful, and positive feedback, she dragged other guests into the mix and almost refused to pay us. We actually just wanted to point out areas for improvement so that the restaurant had a real chance to improve and not just get negative Google reviews. The food was the most expensive, least-served, and worst thing we ate during our short vacation in the Bavarian Forest. The cheese spaetzle was okay and had fresh onions.

The food was delicious. The kids were overjoyed. We felt right at home. Highly recommended.

Quaint pub. The food was delicious and plentiful.

We spontaneously came with 12 people. Everyone was served a delicious meal at the same time, very friendly. The portion was very generous and it tasted delicious. 😀

Yes, you can eat well. The price and service are right.

We spontaneously stopped in for dinner around 3 p.m. We received a very friendly welcome. The food was very, very tasty. We really can't complain. Everything was great. We'll definitely be back 👍

Update 05/25: As always, there's a warm welcome for both humans and dogs. It's great to be back. Schnitzel with Bohemian potato salad is a must! Update 05/24: We always love coming back, and rightly so! Update 06/23: Everything was great. Guests with dogs are more than welcome. Schnitzel and rump steak, as always, a dream. Update 2023: We visit St. Englmar several times a year and we always look forward to the Kirchawirt. We always receive a very friendly welcome, and the food is excellent. I love the Bohemian potato salad as a side dish to a good Wiener Schnitzel. Update 01/2021: It's simply wonderful to return somewhere on vacation; you're recognized and given a very friendly welcome again. Plus, the food tastes really good. The landlady and landlord run an inn here, just like you'd hope for in a village in the best sense of the word. Always happy to come back!!! Update 06/2021: We are very happy to have been back. The landlady recognized us immediately and we were greeted with a more than courteous welcome. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, and the seating outside the restaurant is lovely. We'll be back soon for our next short break! 10/2020: Very good food and very friendly service!

Hearty, cozy, and very friendly. The pork fillet was a bit overcooked, but delicious.

A quaint restaurant inside and out with great service and delicious food.

The food was good and the service was very attentive 😊

A good middle-class country inn Eaten deliciously! Schnitzel with Bohemian potato salad and grill plate with 3 types of meat...very tasty and great salad!👍

Very good Bavarian Bohemian cuisine. Went there spontaneously...and were completely thrilled. Very friendly staff..... happy again.

A very pretty place inside and out. Were very satisfied, nice service and delicious food. My wife had the salad with the garlic prawns (very fine) and I had the grilled plate. My little son ate with me and we all thought it was great. Meat/sausages well grilled and seasoned, fries crispy and hot and the salad well dressed and fresh. Absolutely recommended!

Super nice service and very tasty food. Everything homemade, fresh mushrooms, etc., would be happy again

We were there for dinner yesterday. Can't say anything negative. Food was very tasty. Service was very friendly and responded to requests for changes to the children's portion. Had schnitzel and roulades. Were there for the second time. Happy to come back on your next vacation...

Worst experience. The lady is very rude, adamant and unfriendly. She suddenly brought a huge bowl of soap water for the kids to wash their hands when we were still eating!! The food was the only saving grace. Will never recommend this restaurant to anyone. Edit: after reading other reviews looks like they don’t like children. We were with our kids and experience was very similar to other reviews with kids.

The worst service we have ever experienced. We came with children aged 2,4 and 6. Into the restaurant. We would be welcomed without a word... No hello, nothing, just a nod where we should take a seat. During the meal, a bowl with a lot of pril would be placed at the table. Our children should wash their hands after eating so that they don't get anything greasy. Our children ate with cutlery. And we had to breathe in the smell of Pril while eating. When our littlest stood on the bench with his shoes on (bench without cushions) we were admonished.... No light in the toilet, the schnitzel and fries were full of fat. Man, watch an episode of Rosin and you know what mistakes you're making. Be happy that you don't have to rely on regular guests. The store still annoys me to this day.

We were there with a larger hiking group. I had a beef steak, which tasted very good. My husband ordered chicken breast. His order was forgotten. When the food finally came, he was disappointed to find that a slice of ham had been included in the dish (no mention of this on the menu). He wanted to return the food. The service person's comment that he could scrape off the sausage was very surprising. There is also no effort on the part of the service staff to smooth things over. Therefore only a few stars for service and ambience.

We were with seven people, including children, and were really pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, the service first class. Thank you again!

Beautiful, rustic restaurant. Super friendly boss, excellent food.

We were there on New Year's Eve and were very disappointed. We would have expected a little more ambience for an evening like this. Okay, you can look past it. The service was very nice and helpful. That's the only reason for the third star. The food was carelessly prepared and, in my opinion, the prices were completely excessive for the portion and the ambience. My wife's schnitzel was extremely thin. Like a wafer. Not exactly a hit in terms of taste. The sauce is very thin. My pork tenderloin was somewhat okay. A little tough at times. We definitely won't be coming back. When the bill came, there wasn't even a question about whether it could still be schnapps. We wouldn't have wanted one, but we don't know it any other way. The tip would have been higher. But everyone feels differently. Make your own experiences.

We had dinner there yesterday...I had a Jägerschnitzel with fries. It was tasty, but I've never had such a thin schnitzel anywhere! I was really surprised. You could have made roulades with this... but offer it as a schnitzel and then it's overpriced, which I think is a bit cheeky. The sauce was very liquid and seasoned with glutamate. Unfortunately I can't recommend it, but everyone should have their own experience. The service was super nice...

Would also give 10 ⭐ for service and food. You can tell that the boss is there with ❤️blood🙏. Can be recommended without reservation🤗.

The service was very friendly. The food was well made and portions were filling. The beer tasted quite good.

Eat mega Top service Always my pleasure

This is our second time here and we don't understand some of the reviews! Like last time, the food was very good! Goulash is highly recommended with fresh napkin dumplings. Conditions always friendly. I would love to come back here just to eat after hiking. Thank you

Good middle-class Bavarian/Bohemian inn.

Despite a reservation, we weren't expected and they said we had canceled the table The lights from the neighboring tables were switched off in the restaurant, even though we were still sitting there We could only order 1 schnitzel with mushrooms because there was no sauce left for the 2 plates. I've never experienced anything like that in my life.

We took a coffee break there on the motorbike on the way to the Czech Republic... it's worth it

Very unfriendly staff, questions are often answered unfriendly.

Sunday evening, 6:50 p.m. (open until 8 p.m. according to opening times) no restaurant is open far and wide, we with a 2 year old child want dinner and are rudely turned away because everything is already closed. When asked if they had at least one more fries for the little one, the answer was “no”. However, there was still a knock in the kitchen... it's never happened to me before that you're turned away in a restaurant. We were then allowed to drive 30 minutes to the next restaurant that was still open. NO GO!!

Very nice inn. Food was good. Service was good. We were there with children/young people and it was ok.

Nowhere have we eaten as deliciously as here. Everything was freshly homemade and very good, thank you. 😊👍

Very good restaurant, super nice service and the food is just great. The best we ate on our vacation. We're here for another week and will definitely come back here more often.

....there were 4 of us with a child on pre-order. We ordered 2 x steak, 1 zander fillet with light sauce and a knuckle. What then came to the table was pure disappointment. Zander minimalist, sauce tasteless. The steaks were tough and tasteless. My coveted knuckle was absolutely dry and almost impossible to cut with a knife, so it was fried some day before. The food did not show that it was professionally prepared. With 4 drinks we paid over €110. We got to know this restaurant about 15 years ago and loved it back then. This time it was our last visit, never again...

I can't judge food, they're only for drinking. Very unfriendly and unwelcome service, especially our son. Children very undesirable.

Steaks, beef and pork with blue cheese are perfectly cooked with self made chili sauce. An absolute great spot to satisfy the appetite!

We cannot judge food. We wanted to eat there with a child, we just sat down and got our bearings and there was a bit of babbling, then I asked politely: what's up, which was followed by a snotty "shoes"! Yes, I understand that a child should keep their feet under the table, but they are children, if the table is too far away, then that's a child doing that and it wouldn't have been a problem if the annoyed lady had said it politely would have! We didn't even have time to tell our child this or take off their shoes! You would have expected a little more friendliness!

Very friendly and delicious food. Unfortunately not enough vegetarian dishes

We ordered 2 curry sausages with fries for my daughter, grandson and I. The sausage only had a few Curry particles dusted. The sauce was a tomato sauce also sprinkled with a little curry. There were also only a few fries Plates and they didn't taste particularly fresh. So currywurst without curry sauce and that Fries not particularly fresh! That is not how it works! And something like that costs 17.20. Never again!!!

I have been coming to Sankt Englmar for a very long time and am particularly pleased that such a committed couple runs the Kirchawirt. I happened to pass by yesterday and saw that Tafelspitz was on the memory card, my favorite dish :). So I went in and I was immediately greeted with friendliness in person to place me in the most friendly way possible. Within a very short time the food was served to me, hot, plentiful and of a taste that was second to none. In short, absolutely recommended. Today after a motorcycle tour I couldn't help myself and visited the Kirchawirt again to taste my favorite dish again. Again I wasn't disappointed, everything was just like the day before. Keep it up, I'll be back. A little food for thought: as it calls into the forest, it comes back. Enter the Kirchawirt with a smile and not only one thing will come back. Kind regards, Henri

I don't know what is meant by hospitality here. If you walk into a restaurant around 8 p.m. and are told you should go somewhere else because you finish work at 9 p.m., something is going wrong. Also in a very unfriendly tone. By the way, this was our second very negative experience at this company. In an area where there are many very good restaurants, you should try to attract customers. Significantly, the Kirchawirt is avoided by the locals. I recommend the sunny hill, 5 minutes away

Super quick and friendly service, great food, thank you

We go to Sankt Englmar regularly and always eat here. The staff and food are great and always friendly. I can only recommend. Greetings to the Kirchawirt

Service was in a bad mood and was overwhelmed despite the few guests. Food with ready-made sauces, fries tasted like old fat, no vegetables and no children's menu. There was no light in the toilet in the basement. Only cash payment possible.

We felt very comfortable and were well served. The menu is small but everything is freshly prepared. We ate different dishes and they were all very tasty. For the children (schnitzel experts) it was the best schnitzel in the area. We recommend.

Small, nice Bavarian restaurant with delicious food... we went to the restaurant spontaneously and can recommend the food

My sister, I and our dog were guests at the Kirchawirt for the first time yesterday. He deserves the highest points in all areas. The guest rooms are very comfortable, our fish dish was delicious and the service was extremely attentive and friendly! Incidentally, there was also a family with several small children in the restaurant who were also served very friendly. How there are so many negative reviews in this and other directions is absolutely incomprehensible to us. We'll be back!! For reasons I don't know, my recession was... I have submitted it for a long time and have only published it now. We are now regular, satisfied guests.

We wanted to eat something, but the service was so unfriendly that after a few minutes we decided that we would rather leave the place immediately. The atmosphere was very bad and we had the feeling that we were being gossiped about the whole time.

Was very good and quick. Also friendly and I was traveling with a child.

We ate cheese spaetzle and thought that you couldn't go wrong, apparently so😡

Absolutely not recommended! You can't expect people to eat this!!

Dear parents with children! ATTENTION be careful. Children are definitely not welcome here. You will be rudely pushed out again. Even if there are still tables available. I've heard this several times from other families in the area. This "inn" doesn't deserve its name.

For me it's a traditional Bavarian pub with food. Just had a quick drink here.

FRISCHE trifft sehr gute Küche und absolute Sauberkeit ! Tolle Öffnungszeiten und ein hervorragendes Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis !

We dined with 2 couples and were super satisfied and full. Always happy.

Seit 18Jahren gehen wir dort essen. Immer unterschiedliche Gerichte und immer super👍

Wir waren heute zum Mittagessen im Kirchawirt und hatten das Wildgulasch und den Fitnesssalat. Beides hat uns ausgesprochen gut geschmeckt! Die Gerichte waren perfekt gewürzt und die Bedienung wirklich sehr freundlich. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Sehr gut gegessen, sehr nett, etwas schnell

Essen war sehr lecker uns hat es geschmeckt sauber, schnell Bedienung

Top Essen sehr freundliches Team,gute Preise immer eine Einkehr wert

Wir haben bereits zwei Mal im Abstand von ein paar Monaten versucht, beim Kirchawirt zu essen. Das Lokal war jeweils im Prinzip komplett leer, aber als das Personal gesehen hat, dass wir vier Kinder dabei haben, wurde uns gesagt, es gäbe keinen Platz für uns. Das lässt schon tief blicken.

Veel was op. Kortaf personeel. Niet service gericht.

Velmi příjemný personál 😊 👍 a dobré ceny 👍

Sind spontan zum Essen dort gewesen. Wir haben das Holzfällersteak mit Fritten und Salatbeilage bestellt. Es hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt, es war richtig lecker. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, auch zu unserem Hund :) Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Die Käsespätzle sind echt nicht gut. Sie schwimmen in einer Sauce und die Zwiebeln sind halb roh. Dafür mit 14€ super teuer. Die Currywurst hat eine sehr cremige Konsistenz, ziemlich seltsam und die Pommes sehen zwar gebräunt und knusprig aus, sind aber labbrig und fettig. Und das alles für viel zu viel Geld. Aber immerhin der Service war super und sehr freundlich.

Sankt Englmar ist eine Reise wert.

Heute lecker gegessen, preislich absolut in Ordnung. Bedienung freundlich und auf zack

Keine Ahnung was so mancher "Kritiker" vor mir auszusetzen hatte aber das Essen war lecker und der Service sehr gut... Ich kann das Restaurant mit gutem Gewissen empfehlen! 😋

Sehr schönes und uriges Gasthaus. Nettes und freundliches Personal.

Wir waren dort spontan zum Essen, das Fazit eine kleine gemütliche Gaststube die den alten Flair eines Wirtshauses bewahrt und lebt, das Essen war sehr gut, das Steak auf den Punkt, der Salat frisch und die Bedienung sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Auf einen Besuch bei Biergartenwetter freuen wir uns schon. Danke gerne wieder

Ganz schlechtes Essen. Gemüse aus der Tiefkühltruhe, Fleisch schlecht zubereitet. Und unfreundlich waren sie auch.

Kamen am Sonntag zu dritt ohne Reservierung. War kein Problem. Bedienung sehr freundlich. Essen war sehr gut, zu einem moderaten Preis. Gemütliches Ambiente.

Ganz OK, war schon viel Besser.

Sehr leckeres Essen mit böhmischem Einschlag.

Personal sehr freundlich. Die Karte ist kompakt, das Essen war sehr gut (Wildgulasch mit Spätzle). Die Wirtschaft ist urig aber sehr gepflegt.

Kleine Karte, die die Auswahl schwermacht - irgendwie hätte ich alles gern bestellt. Das Essen war durchweg super in Geschmack und Qualität! Schneller Service, nette Bedienung., faire Preise!

Wird von mir beliefert.Auf alle Fälle eine Fahrt wert um sich was zum Essen zu kaufen.Gute Küche. Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Probiert es aus.👍👍👍

Im Kirchawirt ist es sehr gemütlich, das Essen schmeckt super lecker und die Wirtsleute sind unglaublich freundlich. Für den „Sonderservice“ an meinem Geburtstag dieses Jahr reichen fünf Sterne nicht aus. Immer wieder gerne. Top.

Das Essen ist super lecker. Kleine Auswahl aber völlig ausreichend. Alles sehr liebevoll dekoriert und sehr schön. Leider war es etwas dunkel im Restaurant da nur wenige Tische besetzt und nur über besetzten Tischen das Licht angemacht wurde.

dörfliche Gastwirtschaft, freundliche Bedienung, etwas eingeschränkte Speisekarte

Essen ohne viel schnick schnack. Keine große originelle Anrichte weise, keine besondere Teller etc., sondern einfache aber qualitativ gute deftige unter andern Bayrische Hausmannskost zu gutem Preis, die von einer netten Wirtin serviert wird.

Sehr gemütlich und lecker im Zentrum St. Englmars.

Essen war gut aber zu wenig Auswahl . Nachtisch gibt es auch nicht nette Bedienung

Waren mit der Familie zu Muttertag zum ersten Mal beim Kirchawirt. Haus und Gastraum wurden damals schön renoviert, wie man sich ein uriges bayerisches Wirtshaus vorstellt. Service war gut, schnell und freundlich. Die Speisekarte nicht überladend, hat jeder sein gewünschtes Essen gefunden. Lieber eine kleine Karte und dafür frisch gekocht. Essen hat dadurch wohl etwas länger gedauert, war aber von der Wartezeit in Ordnung. Das Essen hat allen super geschmeckt und es sind auch alle satt geworden. Kommen gerne wieder1

Laut Webseite hat der Kirchawirt eine sehr ansprechende Speisekarte, die bis abends gilt. Wir waren um ca. 18.00 Uhr dort und erhielten eine sehr abgespeckte Speisekarte, auf der sich nicht ein Gericht der Internet-Speisekarte fand. Ich bestellte Schweinefiletscheiben mit Bratkartoffeln und mein Mann Zander mit Salat. Auch ich bekam einen Salat und stellte schnell fest, dass er ungenießbar sauer war. Man könnte vermuten, dass hier das Dressing mit Essig Essenz verlängert wurde. Nun gut, ich ließ den Salat stehen. Mein Mann aber hatte neben dem Zanderfilet nur diesen Salat und da auch er ihn als ungenießbar empfand, teilten wir es der Kellnerin sehr höflich mit. Diese zeigte sich sofort erbost, behauptete, dass sich noch niemand über den Salat beschwert hätte... Sie lenkte nicht ein und bot meinem Mann auch kein Alternativgericht an. Dieses unkooperative Verhalten der Bedienung hat uns sehr irritiert.
