Onkel Toms Burger in Lindau (Bodensee)

We loved this restaurant - cozy, friendly and great food.

The Maultaschen were great! But like everything in the area, they weren't cheap. The portion was a bit too small for a glutton like me :). But I recommend it!

Really good service. Top-notch food. Great service. Highly recommended.

Cozy, rustic atmosphere. Fast, friendly service. Food was delicious.

Great service with extremely diligent, friendly staff. The food (I had a burger 🍔) was also really great. And all in a truly rustic setting. I can highly recommend it.

Yes, it was very tasty. The spaetzle weren't hot anymore, but that didn't detract from their typical flavor.

Great place, keep it up. Check out the fried products for yourself; they have a unique flavor. We'd love to try you again next time.

I was impressed by this place, the food was very good, high quality and tasty, I recommend this restaurant in Lindau-Insal🏝️, thank you to the waiters who also behaved nicely!❤️🏖️

I expected more...we ordered a veal cutlet with fries and sausage. The cutlet (€26.50) arrived in two pieces, one of which was quite tough (it looked like leftovers). My husband's dish was neither good nor bad. In the end, we paid less given the bad impression they made. The only positive note is the (Italian) staff, who are truly very kind.

My wife and I wanted something traditional. After looking at many Bavarian restaurants, but many of them weren't fully booked, we came across this place with a terrace full of customers and thought it had to be good. I wasn't expecting that with my wife, when the waiter, a bald guy who seemed to be in charge, spoke to us in German, then in English. After explaining that we were Italian, he started speaking to us in Italian. We weren't expecting such a nice atmosphere and such a good atmosphere with the customers. Even if you're a foreigner, you feel at home. Plus, the food tastes good and is of high quality, and the service is top-notch. Comparing many regions of Italy, I can honestly say we weren't expecting such a wonderful evening. We give the place 5 stars.

Awesome! The food was delicious!

The food was very good. The price was reasonable. The service was very friendly.

Fun night with good friends and staff. Good food, the streusel was a big hit. Finished the night with limoncello.

We highly recommend it. Very friendly and polite. We felt very comfortable. We were a group of 13 people, two of whom were wheelchair users.

great food for a great price and clean toilets.

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’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 👌

I don't understand how people don't look at the sign that says "we'll bring 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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Very generous portions and a great cellar

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

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

Great food, nice ambiance. Marco was amazing.

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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 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 🤙

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 :)!

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

A great restaurant where there is something for everyone

Super friendly service, the food is very tasty

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!”

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.
