Onkel Toms Burger in Lindau (Bodensee)

I’ve had many experiences here, I can only recommend, every single time the service was nice, you won’t wait long for your order, food ist gorgeous and every customer matters 👌 Great job guys 👌

Easily one of the best burgers we’ve ever eaten. The meat was delicious and the waiters we’re really friendly. Recommended for whoever is in Lindau and wants to eat good. Price: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Location: 5/5

I don't understand how people don't look at the sign that says "we'll take you to your table." Many customers enter the terrace avoiding the sign. We are polite and know how to read. We are led to the table in the blink of an eye. This is where the beauty begins for any tourist who wants to experience peace on vacation. The waiter speaks a little Portuguese and I feel like I'm on vacation. Everything is calm with the terrace full, a pleasant atmosphere. Then the food arrives, which did not disappoint us. The ribs are unique. My wife and I liked everything.

Unfortunately, never again. Food not good. Salad soggy. Meat from a deep fryer? Tables and new tablecloths very clean and tidy, making it tempting to sit down. Unfriendly service.

Good food, centrally located, but still reasonable prices.

If you're looking for a quiet place to enjoy your favorite drink or Bavarian food, you've found the perfect place: friendly staff, fast service, and a great ambiance!

A very good restaurant and also very vegetarian-friendly. Delicious food and friendly, fast service :-)

As a local, I've walked by every now and then, but now I've finally gone in. It's really good, home-style cooking. The currywurst was a dream, and my wife's schnitzel was also perfect. The burgers are also amazing, some of them almost too big :D. The service was super attentive and friendly. We certainly won't be eating there again! :)

Me and a couple of friends ate here and the burgers were amazing, the fries too! The staff is super nice and fast. If you pass in Lindau it’s a must :)

The food was okay. The service was excellent. The ambiance outside was fantastic.

I've rarely been served such a miserable meal! The "colorful farmer's salad with herb dressing and grilled chicken strips" had neither color nor (despite an intensive search) even a hint of herbs in the advertised herb dressing. The chicken strips were anything but grilled. The turkey schnitzel was frozen and drowned in fat in the deep fryer. The spare ribs advertised on the menu weren't available, apparently because there wasn't a delivery. From my experience with the restaurant, the spare ribs have probably never been available... Because who would prepare them?? The "crowning feature" were the sanitary facilities! I don't want to know what the kitchen looks like.... It was also noticeable that the selection of guests was very deliberate. Requests from people who just wanted a drink were turned away because everything was "reserved." Suddenly, a seat was available for well-heeled guests! What they're doing here is absolutely terrible, and I can only advise everyone not to visit this place. It's a shame they can't give negative stars.

The food was okay, but nothing special. Unfortunately, there was so much smoking outside that the taste was spoiled anyway. This gets a minus point because the owners don't do anything about this smoke nuisance.

Don't bother with the burgers here. They use frozen patties, the bacon is undercooked, and the portion of fries is big enough for a 2 year old.

Great shop, definitely recommend it. Excellent service, beautiful location. Ice cream was on the house 😎. I'd be back!

Very generous portions and a great cellar

Very nice waiters, the food is delicious and the portions are very large.

Great food, nice ambiance. Marco was amazing.

Anyone who enjoys local cuisine should stop by Tom's Wirtshaus. We felt comfortable and the food was excellent.

We were sent away by the staff because we just wanted something to drink, very weak.

Beautiful historic restaurant. Authentic, home-style cooking. Super friendly staff. 👍👍👍👍👍

We would have liked to eat but were turned away, despite many free tables, because not everyone wanted to eat...

Excellent Bavarian cuisine and local specialties. The Italian staff is very professional and friendly. The location is beautiful; we recommend eating inside. I personally recommend the Bavarian meatballs and the Meckatzer Weizen beer.

We were there today. We would have liked an Aperol and a beer. We were rudely asked to leave around 3 p.m. in the pouring rain because the seating outside is reserved for diners only.

If you're looking for something a bit more touristy and want to try a light snack, this is the place for you. Plenty of Bavarian/Alpine cuisine. Delicious beer from Meckatzer. Good quality. The Maultaschen (swabian pasta) and mashed potatoes are among the few vegetarian options, but they tasted very good.

We ate here last week. According to the GM, we were looking for the burger place here and couldn't find it. But the bill said Onkel Toms Wirtshaus (Uncle Tom's Wirtshaus). As for the food, we were very, very satisfied. If we were ever in the area again, we would eat here again. We didn't have a burger, but a regional dish, plus something for the kids.

Great food, and extremely tender meat (I've never eaten such tender roast pork). Optionally, ask for the extra room for up to 6 people if you want some peace and quiet, but otherwise, the ambiance is very nice.

The food was exceptional, the service impeccable and the staff very friendly and professional.

Top service, good quality and nice atmosphere, 100% recommended!

Fries were overly fried...veal schnitzel the same 😞 after being told we agreed to half price, but with special math (half of 26 is 21 in this case) and inappropriate placement next to the main course, even though there was more space so there were always people around...

Two of us just wanted a drink at 3:15 PM in the afternoon and were turned away despite plenty of free tables. Oh well, I guess the place doesn't need it 🤷

"Wait, you'll be shown to your seat." This simple and straightforward instruction is consistently ignored. Then you shouldn't be surprised by the server's remark. In our case, it only took a brief moment—a quick glance—and we were shown to our seats. That's how it should be. If you can read. The staff's almost friendly yet respectable demeanor is no problem for me/us. You feel welcome. The food, Allgäu cheese spaetzle and a turkey schnitzel with potato salad, along with delicious drinks. Tip-top. All in all, highly recommended.

Solid food, fair prices, and very friendly staff. You don't need anything more on vacation; we'd be happy to go back.

Good, hearty, and traditional Bavarian food in the heart of the island. The restaurant is run by a fun, courteous, and efficient chef.

After passing by several Italian restaurants because we weren't in the mood for Italian food, we ended up here. We were a bit irritated to find Italian waiters here, too, despite a rather Bavarian menu. They were nevertheless very friendly, and the snack platter was okay – too much salami for my taste and unfortunately only one type of cheese, but the crackling lard was very good and the portion was large.

Very friendly staff, beautiful decor, and fantastic food. The food was of very good quality, with very tender meat and well-balanced salads.

Great home cooking Highly recommended for good German cuisine. Especially the dumplings and ribs.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere breathtaking. The service was prompt and friendly, and you'll want to linger for a while.

The hamburger was well-seasoned. I prefer patties that are still pink in the middle, but that wasn't the case here. The salad and all the toppings were fresh, and the fries were nice and crispy. The staff was friendly and quick. Unfortunately, the restaurant is closed today (Wednesday), and we couldn't eat there a second time. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely come back!

Fabulous reasonably priced food, lovely atmosphere and really friendly staff. My family had a wonderful evening with you thank you.

Very delicious food with good wine! We'll be happy to come back on our next vacation.

Great wine stubbe lovely outside seating, quick friendly service, lovely food. Cool beer.

Very tasty burgers and friendly service! Large portions – highly recommended.

Very tasty! We had burgers and fries and were very satisfied. The service is very attentive and you feel completely at ease!

So this was top for us! Excellent food, friendly service... And reasonable prices! ❤️❤️❤️🌸 My husband and I highly recommend!

Great service, highly recommended 🤙

There's nothing to complain about here. Prompt and friendly servers, a pleasant atmosphere, and the food was delicious.

Very good food, very friendly staff. We'll be happy to come back.

They also have a very good salad to eat in the summer.

The food was very good, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I'd be happy to go back!

Went with a group of friends and everyone enjoyed their meals - can't fault, value or quality

The food was very tasty. A little expensive but delicious. Highly recommended.

The mayo was rancid and had to be returned. The glasses were only half full (spritz). The food just didn't taste good... the Leberkäse (liver sausage) was really borderline (see photo). This is not German food... this is a cheap East European rip-off.

Very nice and friendly service and good food, highly recommended

Definitely recommended! Excellent service! Very friendly, attentive staff. Excellent food!

We had dinner today with our two small dogs. All the waiters were extremely friendly, attentive, and courteous. They checked on the dogs under the table every now and then. The food was excellent; we've never eaten such a tender schnitzel. This restaurant is our absolute favorite. We'll be back. Thank you for the pleasant stay. Keep up the good work, we'll be back.

Ambience and service were good, but the food was terrible. We had a burger and a small salad. Frozen patties, and definitely not organic. Cheap food. Burger buns from the discount store, and everything else. Salad was completely over-salted. I like burgers, but this really wasn't good quality. Poor value for money. Unfortunately, I don't recommend it!

Tasty food, good service, we order the Tavern Burger, Juicy 😋 we have a good experience in Onkel Toms Wirtshaus, keep it like that

The staff is very friendly and the food is all fresh and very tasty.

Very welcoming! They also offer delicious gluten free burgers.

The food was excellent, and the service was excellent, even though the restaurant was very busy on May 1st. And the best part: I'd left my sweater there. It was mailed to me. That's customer service!

Very nice, helpful service. We forgot a sweater there. The staff mailed it to our home. Super! Keep it up :)!

Great hidden gem my first German meal and one of the best wurst I’ve eaten. Richly savoury and decadent likewise for the Mac n cheese, defo stand out with a hint of umami probably from the cheese. Apple strudel served warm with vanilla cream was a great treat too with chewy crepe that goes hand in hand. Restroom is clean and place has great ambience too

Food wasn't special. Ambience good. Service just bad. Starter came with the main course. Then it took forever for the main course to arrive. Unfortunately I can't recommend it.

It tasted delicious The house is quaint and cozy Service very nice and friendly

To be honest, I expected a lot more for €18 🍔. The burger came without lettuce, tomato or cucumber - basically the least you would expect on a burger. Instead, a patty on a simple bun that looked like it came from a discount store (greetings from Norma) and is available for €1 💸. Unfortunately, nothing special in terms of taste. Price-performance doesn't fit here at all.

Very tasty food. The burgers are really recommended. Price performance is also okay for the island of Lindau.

A renowned restaurant that respects itself, the food is super good, so much so that we even took it to go

Very nice. Very good and fresh food. Nice atmosphere. I recommend everyone to go to this location. Have a nice day

Visited the restaurant with 3 adults and 5 children on April 18, 2025. Had, among other things, 4 x Allgäu cheese spaetzle with salad: It was just quickly warmed up industrial mush, pretty watery, mushy. Salad leaves completely dried out, especially the rocket salad. A proud €17.90. The rest was just below average. The service was nice and quick. The atmosphere (we were inside on the 1st floor) was very nice. Everything was clean, including toilets. Overall very disappointed with the quality of the food and the prices for it. Conclusion: Industrial commercial kitchen with exorbitant prices.

Service was nice and polite, but the food left a lot to be desired. Viennese veal schnitzel was good, but some components tasted like frozen goods... especially the napkin dumplings. Additionally, the portions were small and the money was not worth the quality of the food and portions.

5 stars An absolute insider tip on Lindau Island! Uncle Tom's Wirtshaus impresses with really good, home-style cuisine in a cozy atmosphere. The cheese spaetzle was a dream – beautifully cheesy and with crispy fried onions on top. The schnitzel was also perfectly fried and really juicy. Surprisingly good: the burgers! Fresh, juicy and with a great bun - I wouldn't have expected this in a traditional pub. The service was friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be back!

Very good, friendly and quick service. The food was delicious, there was something for every taste. I always enjoy being there again

For lunch I ordered particularly delicious burgers. For the whole family. We would love to come back to try other dishes.

Super friendly service, the food is very tasty

We came in a small group of 10 people. We were served there and were very satisfied with the service and the promptness of the waiters. The food was very fresh, congratulations to the chefs. We'll be back.

Such a welcoming place, the waiters recommended course 1 and course 2. We were very happy with the service. We will definitely come back with our friends.

A great restaurant where there is something for everyone

Very friendly service and inexpensive dishes. The food tastes very tasty and well presented.

Man feels welcome. Polite service and friendly demeanor. Food is tasty, inexpensive and well presented. Large selection of drinks and food.

Onkel Toms Wirtshaus is an excellent choice for those who want to experience traditional Bavarian cuisine in an authentic and welcoming setting

I had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious (I had Allgäuer Käsespätzle and a tavern burger), and the service was impeccable. The atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy an excellent meal. I will definitely be back!”

tasty bavarian food, service very good and quick, they have stairs too bring the food and beverages down in terrace, respect guys!

Very good food, definitely recommended! The staff is very friendly and quick.

I didn't enjoy the snail in the salad :-(

We ate outside. The food was good and plentiful. The service friendly and quick. To get to the toilet there is a steep staircase on the 1st floor.

Very tasty food in a rustic atmosphere. The burgers 🍔 are also available gluten-free and are also recommended for those with celiac disease! 💯

Used to be a wine bar but now has its own concept with traditional food and burgers. We liked the food. All we had to complain about was that the soup wasn't really hot. It was done immediately and my wife got a new, really hot soup including an apology from the service. Service was attentive and present. Ambience is good for us. Lots of wood and clear, bright rooms, but no floodlights. Well suited as a stop for eating and drinking. Prices completely okay.

Cozy, quiet, rustic, clean, well-preserved old inn, friendly and above all good food, best flatbread soup!

Four of us were there spontaneously for lunch, all rooms were empty at 1 p.m., only one table with 6 Japanese tourists who obviously only consumed drinks. Kässpätzle were okay, but very unusual with rocket salad (mixed packet from the supermarket), it doesn't really go together. Meat patties were good, and unfortunately potato salad wasn't homemade either - after asking the waiter, it was just "marinated in-house". For a portion of Kässpätzle with salad for € 16.80, you would expect home-made salad in a restaurant and not mixed leaf salad from a package. It's a shame, we won't go there anymore. Even if the rooms are beautifully renovated.

Cozy little spot tucked away on Lindau Island, located in a shopping passage. Pleasant atmosphere, a lovely kids' menu, and friendly service. Thank you

Beautiful old premises. There are several pop art pictures of burgers on the walls. Ironically, the Italian hosts serve burger patties from the frozen food shelf. People chew on rubbery things and regret the senseless death of the bovid. On the other hand, the waitress shines as an Italian and is practically constantly chatting in the kitchen. The fries are great.

Really good meal. Decent portions. And well cooked. What more do you want? Excellent all around.

Small cozy restaurant. Flädlesuppe was delicious. The child enjoyed the chicken wings. Turkey schnitzel was okay, baked in fat. Very hearty cuisine. They were a bit tough.

The food tastes very good, the service is very nice, I highly recommend this restaurant

From the food, ambience, drinks and friendly staff, everything is excellent 🥂💪💪💪

Fast service. The beer was delicious. Leberkäse with potato salad was good. Currywurst with fries so medium.

Delicious. Super friendly service. Always my pleasure!

Very good burgers, served quickly and friendly Personally, I find the price a little expensive but still a good restaurant that I can recommend

Ordered Kaiserschmarrn for just under €12 and only received a very small, lukewarm portion. The raisins were simply sprinkled on top instead of being in the dough, never seen like that before. Then you wanted to order a tea, but they only have tea in their range from October? Which economy doesn't even have a single type of tea?? So there was hot drink only coffee... Very unusual!

Super nice inn right on Maximilianstrasse on Lindau Island. The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly and attentive, and the price was completely reasonable. We'd love to come back.
