Mutter Ernst in Frankfurt am Main

Very tasty, funny and fast service, potato salad is absolutely top! I can only recommend the store!

Good food and the staff is great

In this location, right on Goethestrasse, between Prada, Vuitton and other chic crap for the consumer rabble, this place is like a UFO. A gem of casual friendliness, down-to-earthness and honesty. A piece of Frankfurt soul. Almost too good to be true.

The cider was sensational! The cutlet was very tasty. It was very busy but the service did its best to keep everyone happy. Gave her one to cheer her up too! We would love to come back 😊

The food was good. Not comparable to the price though. They added 20% to our food as a mistake and then argued for 30 minutes before reimbursing us. The drinks were double counted and the service was incredibly rude. They told the children who asked for extra glasses that they are busy and to go away. It just felt incredibly ingenue and felt like a scam. I truly suggest never going there.

Cult pub through and through, highly recommended.

Totally in love with place! Food is perfect, portions are so big, that it’s impossible to finish one dish alone! Schnitzel with mushroom sauce and potato salad were perfect, apple cider and sauerkraut tooo😍 The best place if you wanna try local food in Frankfurt ❤️

Group of 11 people, we asked if there was room, we were told that a table would be free after 9pm. Too bad we weren't also told that the kitchen closed at 9.30pm. The result was that fortunately the part of the group already present sent photos of the menu to the remaining part to be able to choose the dishes and immediately send the order to the kitchen, otherwise we would not have found anything to eat when we arrived. In fact, when, having finished the courses, we asked for dessert (a banal apfelstrudel) we were told that the kitchen was now closed. At 10.30pm they presented us with the bill, because they were closing. Not even one more beer. Very disappointed. Normal food, prices a little high.

A must in Frankfurt. The price-performance ratio is right. In the center of the city.

Wait staff were difficult to flag down and actively ignored me when trying to speak with them. Not a huge variety in cuisine but it was good and authentic.

A Frankfurt original! Great, anytime again!

Great option for local fare. It was close to my hotel so well located, and had good local options like Handkäse and Grüne Soẞe. Service was great, and the interior was cozy and welcoming.

What should I write The cutlet and meatball are simply sensational. The menu is simple, classic German cuisine. There is definitely something for vegetarians, but unfortunately I never paid attention to it, let alone tried it. The atmosphere is cozy and even when it's full I still find the noise to be bearable. That's not the case everywhere. A clear recommendation from me. Also for lunch.

The food is very good, the service is super friendly and quick. A must visit if you are in Frankfurt. Recommendation is the Leberkäse and the boulette.

Great Frankfurt restaurant with good cuisine and personal service. Good Äppelwoi and reasonable prices. Very happy again.

Nothing special. But inexpensive.

Staff nice and accommodating. Food and drinks fresh and delicious. Were very satisfied.

Very nice service, great homemade potato salad and green sauce, traditional Frankfurt!

We were at the Mutter Ernst restaurant today and absolutely loved it! The meatballs were really first class – perfectly seasoned and super tasty. There was also delicious apple cider, which rounded the whole thing off wonderfully. We would also like to particularly highlight the chop, which was simply fantastic. The potato salad and mashed potatoes were not only very, very tasty, but also homemade - you could really taste it! A highlight was the green sauce, which went perfectly with it. All in all, it was a great evening with authentic Frankfurt cuisine, a wonderful atmosphere and super friendly service. If you are looking for real, homemade food, you will definitely find it here. Absolute recommendation – we will definitely come back!

Menus in English do not exist. Kitchen closes with the restaurant operating.

Friendly staff and quick service. Reasonable food prices.

It is described as a traditional German food restaurant. As a Mexican, I was not so surprised with the dishes. I recommend the pork chop. It was a good portion. The potatoes that accompany the sausage dishes felt a little sour and they are cold. , a little strange. The apple strudel was acceptable, nothing extraordinary.

Very tasty food and authentically modern.... I'll be back and I'm looking forward to it

**Mother Ernst: An insider tip in Frankfurt** Mutter Ernst is a charming restaurant in Frankfurt that impresses with its cozy atmosphere and authentic German cuisine. The restaurant has a rustic charm that immediately creates a feel-good atmosphere. The menu offers a successful selection of traditional dishes prepared with high-quality ingredients. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly and attentive service, which makes the visit a completely successful experience. Mutter Ernst is a clear recommendation for anyone looking for honest, down-to-earth cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere.

We arrived at 9.30pm, we asked if we could still have dinner and, when the waiter answered in the affirmative, we sat at a table outside (actually not a great idea, given that most of the tables are attached to parked cars) . Due to communication problems between the waiter and the kitchen, unfortunately, we had to settle for dishes that did not need to be cooked on the spot (specifically Kartoffelnsalad and Frankfurter), because in reality, contrary to what it seemed at the beginning, the kitchen was now closed. The dish they served us wasn't bad (especially the potato salad, tasty and very filling), but nothing that you couldn't eat elsewhere. I'll be left craving Rippchen and Grüne Soße...

Beautiful and very tasty 😋 The staff is great

Price performance was okay, with the dessert (apple strudel could have been added 2 centimeters more)

Friendly staff . By far the Germany local food . Came all the way from Singapore to try out the local bar in Frankfurt . Affordable food as well

Hand cheese was great, the rest was okay. Service class, ambience cool and banker-like

Great staff. Delicious food and good ÄPPLER. I can only recommend it. Greetings Andreas Pfaff

Stylish Frankfurt restaurant with nice service and a great city center location. Even as a vegetarian you will find what you are looking for. The Frankfurt classics can all be found on the map.

Amazing food and friendly service. Would happily return on my next visit to town

Service mauvais par une serveuse visiblement de mauvaise humeur On a du insister pour qu elle nettoie la table qui était sale Repas pas top frikadelen brûlée et trop salée À eviter

Home-style restaurant with plenty of seating, both inside and on the street. The food is delicious and the green sauce tasted pleasantly herbal and was slightly spicy. The prices are okay, not cheap but contemporary and the service is attentive and quick, although not particularly warm. But overall a cozy restaurant that is recommended if you want to eat good regional food.

Food is very tasty and in large portion. The distance between tables can be made a bit larger.

Be sure to try the potato salad! Best service and very good food. I only rate the vegetarian dishes.

We once went to this beautiful place for business and pleasure. There are clearly not enough stars to rate this restaurant/restaurant. It's all great

Ate the best grilled ribs of my life here.

The green sauce was especially delicious!

great German dishes, reasonable prices.

Lovely, rustic restaurant, we were also impressed after our second visit.

I'm an idiot who ate mustard here, confusing it with soup. The benediktir helles I had here was the beer of my life. Even when I looked for it in other places in Germany, I couldn't find this taste. I've tried every beer that says Helles on it. It didn't taste that good. What kind of beer did they give me? I still can't forget it and wonder if I should go here again. That sauerkraut is warm white kimchi. You must eat sausage when you bite into it. Anyway, I recommend it. I like the friendly lady.

Had a wonderful evening. Delicious food, great service and a good atmosphere

Food was Ok, not bad not super good. Traditional food and interior, yes, so if you are looking for that so go ahead and pay a visit. We waited our food long over an hour and the restaurant was not ful. The waitres could have told us that it will take awhile before we get our food. Since the long wait we were quite hungry and the portions were not that big, and three of four were still hungry after eating.

Excellent Frankfurt food. Nice spot both inside and outside

Better than the reviews were at the beginning Nicely trimmed for old Service super fast and friendly Unfortunately the toilets are still dirty

Great little find on a quiet corner in Frankfurt with very good Apfelwine spritz and great service.

Like old Frankfurt cuisine, good potato salad and schnitzel

We had a wildschweinbratwürste and beefsausage and potato salad, and both plates were delicious. The apple strudel was perfect. Next time, I will try the porkchop that looks so good. Great value for money and very friendly staff.

It was my first time here for a business dinner. Your location is very good. Central and yet quiet. The reception was nice and quick. The menu is quite clear. The prices are a bit too high. But there are classic Frankfurt dishes. Overall recommended.

The cider is good. Sweet and not too heavy in alcohol. Bratwurst was good. However, I've had as good out at the cart on street. Schnitzel - Very nice. Crunchy on the outside , didn't feel too greasy. The potatoes weren't bad. Has a bit after taste and I couldn't figure out what it was. But I don't think it supposed to taste that. No value here, just good food.

Very tasty traditional German food. Sat at the bar and bartenders/waiters were very friendly. Husband had pea soup with frankfurter and I had Handcheese and salad due to being vegetarian. It was good. The Apfelwein was good, too. Busy place made us feel welcome, quick service. Recommended.

Nice great food, service with a smile :)

Fantastic food, very good prices, atmosphere 😉 Hmmm, amazing!!!!

Great place, good beer, sour cabbage and baked meat! I recommend

Always good. The food is local and the portions are sizeable without the prices being outrageous. The service is courteous and always friendly. We like to go to our mother's, even if we just drink an Äppler in the evening.

Stylishly furnished, very friendly service, the dishes are sometimes a bit over-spiced, although that is of course also subjective.

Nice, traditional Frankfurt restaurant in the middle of the city center. The food is good, home-style and very tasty. The potato salad is particularly recommended. When the weather is nice you can sit outside or in the rustic dining room, which is very cozy. The price-performance ratio is great and the staff is very friendly.

... great food, great äppler ...

Down to earth and very good Rezi: from 2018. Transformation of mother Ernst was very well done. This is Stephan and his mother Ernst 😉

The food was delicious and the location was attractive. It's all quite new compared to long-established cider bars. The green one is great. Prices are appropriate for the city center.

Really helpful and friendly staff, recommended a meal which as a tourist I needed help with.

Excellent grilled porc chop with sourkraut and potatoes purea. Very good, kind and quick service. Excellent Bavarian beer (useless to say).

Well, what can I say, if you go to Mother Ernst, you can't ignore the Kottlet. The food and service were really great, but it was a bit noisy at times...

Very good German cuisine at moderate prices. Nice personel

Very friendly service. We came in for a beer and were given a table without hesitation. The service was fast and the beer cold. The interior is quite different to the "old" (previous) pave and "too modern". But it's clean and cozy nonetheless. With location change there came an interior update which is alright.

The pork chop and potato salad are outstanding.

A very nice place with good food!

The old location was something different. The new one is ok too. The food is still familiar and very tasty.

They serve really good schnitzel, especially with the seasonal green sauce. You can't go wrong here. Only issue I had was that the food took rather long to come.

... you have to know that the restaurant already existed somewhere else before... for 50 years... never renovated, always "like mother's house"... and to transport that into modern times, that's the thing real sensation!🙏👏👏 and that there is still no better chop anywhere in the world: that's wonderful.

A typical German tavern. For the food, nothing very memorable (schnitzel and company). German service, cold and efficient. Otherwise, a nice tavern atmosphere.

A cult location with great meals. Some creases need to be ironed out before this will be the same Mutter Ernst which we all love. Will be back. P.S. Rating scale 1 (🤬wish I could lodge a complaint at some regulator), 2 (👎it sucked), 3 (🤷‍♂️neutral), 4 (👌I recommend) and 5 (😁 to return).

The schnitzel and the potato salad were very tasty, the service was good. The restaurant is very large, so of course it is loud.

That still exists. Actually Frankfurt cuisine in downtown Frankfurt. The cuisine is excellent and, in addition to hearty dishes, also offers a number of vegetarian dishes. At the end there is also a delicious dessert. There are a total of seven different beers. Two of them without alcohol. Of course, the apple cider should not be missing. And this comes directly from the Wetterau. The staff is really very quick. We didn't have to wait long and even though it was really full, we quickly got a seat. In addition to the normal seating in the guest room, there is also a very inviting counter area. There are also numerous seating options at bar tables here. I am particularly pleased that the usual menu is regularly supplemented by a daily menu. The meatballs are also legendary. Unfortunately, these are only available on Friday, but we're looking forward to the weekend even more! Conclusion: We'd love to come back!

Great service, nice ambience, very good food.

Excellent place to eat typical German food, perfect service, the waiter speaks Spanish

It is a German restaurant with a small but fine menu. You can find it behind the stock exchange. And the service is super friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. I'd love to come back.

The food is hard on stomach. You have to change the oil before frying a schnitzel. I think Frankfurt sausage looks like it comes from supermarket packaging

Very loud guest room. Chops and potato salad classics as ever. Everyone is nice and familiar like before. Large event room in the basement area.

Great home cooking. Prices are reasonable, especially for the drinks. €5.20 for a 0.4 liter beer.

I found this German cuisine on a Google map. It has a high score and great comments. Interestingly, it asks the customer to book a table via email or call. I tried to call, but it was always in vain. I also sent the email but got a response the following day, the day I wanted to book. I tried to walk in and ask the waitress. Understandably, they are busy. But, the point is they are not willing to respond or help us to book or try to find a seat. I am completely pissed off and go away. It was not limited to me; I saw other people in front of me waiting. They got the same. I haven't had the chance to try their food anyway. But if you want to experience the friendly service, you should come.

I had dinner with my colleagues last week. Eight people from the group received what they ordered. The other eight were informed 1 hour after ordering that the schnitzels were sold out. Another 40 minutes later the famous green sauce was out for three dishes! Start was 7:00 p.m. on Monday!!! The REWE in the neighborhood was still open! If the menu is already very clear, you should at least be able to serve a few dishes or go shopping quickly. By the way, the restaurant wasn't crowded. Next time we'll go to the steakhouse nearby! Best regards from NRW Udo H.

We had a very nice afternoon at Mother Ernst. Very nice, attentive service, good cuisine and the apple wine and the medlar ;-) were also great! Despite the premium location, the prices are fair. We'd love to come back!

Reception was friendly and good, food was very good and plentiful. Price performance of the food is very correct. The restaurant was nice, clean... the server... well, I had to ask several times, ordering a drink at the buffet, coffee and dessert wasn't even asked... what I then found to be very annoying and cheeky was when I paid Asked for a tip, requested on the grounds that the service is not included... sorry, which service??? I work in the catering industry myself and generally tip... I just decide how, when and for what...

...we love the mother! We have been part of the permanent workforce for many years. Even though we miss the "old" mother Ernst very much, we have become friends with the new one. What we cannot understand at all is that a traditional restaurant charges the equivalent of 6.50 for half a liter of Bit or, as served here, 5.20 for 0.4l and 3 euros for a small Äppler. That's just too much! We still remain loyal, but we would be very happy if the pricing strategy were reconsidered...hope dies in the end...

Good German cuisine, reasonable prices. However, it's not quaint enough for me

Simple, local food, like Grüne Soße and others. Good beer and other drinks. Go there with a group of friends not for a romantic evening.

Didn't know the old "Mother Ernst". Almost like the Äppelwoi restaurants in Sachsenhausen. Eat better. Similar flair. Reservations are better for groups.

It took us a while to find a restaurant with real German food that wasn't aimed at tourists. We found Mutter Ernst, very good food and fair prices.

"Mutter Ernst" offers simple and delicious cuisine at reasonable prices in a relaxed tavern atmosphere in the middle of Frankfurt. A counterpoint in glittering Frankfurt: down-to-earth and honest.

Excellent home-style food. The cutlet is gigantic and delicious, and the homemade potato salad is excellent. Service also very good. Always full around lunchtime, it's better at 11:30 a.m. or after 1:30 p.m.

Awesome food quality/quantity/price. Lovely place with tradition!!!

Great atmosphere, easy payment and a line of people hungry for the excellent dishes served so plan to come to avoid queues.

Sensationelle Professionalität in gediegener Hausnannskost. Der Moderne Laden ist recht gross, dennoch ist eine Buchung zu empfehlen, schon wegen der enormen Nachfrage. Die legendären Frikadellen kann man ggf dabei mit reservieren, was sicherstellt, sie auch zu bekommen. Erstklassiger Service zu heute geradezu ungewöhnlich kundenfreundlichen Preisen. Apfelwein dazu passt wirklich gut.

Here you can get classic Frankfurt cuisine - right in the middle of the city. Our food was very tasty, as was the cider. Unfortunately, our main courses were brought before we even finished the starters and placed straight on the table. So we finished eating after 30 minutes. We weren't in that much of a hurry.

Traditional cuisine. Very good, friendly service, excellent prices. Reservation is recommended.

Very very tasty. Eaten on site. Great atmosphere, always happy. Thanks that you exist. Keep it up

Very good German restaurant. The portions are generous and the service perfect. I recommend 🇫🇷

Busy - reservations highly recommended Very tasty and large portions. Really inexpensive. Enjoy your meal.
