Platzhirsch in Stuttgart

Anyone who likes Swabian rustic is in good hands here. Price-performance ratio is right!

Highly recommended - nice atmosphere!

We stopped by for a late lunch (February 2025). The food was excellent. They had multiple local (Swabian) food options. The portion sizes were large and the quality was excellent. It was reasonably priced. We spent €53.50 on two mains and a bottle of local wine. Highly recommend the "Maultaschen" which came with caramelised onions, gravy, potato salad and salad.

Great pub over several floors with a student flair. Small and down-to-earth selection of dishes. Good range of drinks.

Lower seating area extremely cold, uncomfortable, hardly any decoration, employees uninterested and eating fries from the guest's plate. Not great.

This afternoon I had a Hausgemachte Maultaschen geschmelzt mit Kartoffelsalat und Salat at Platzhirsch. It was the best Maultaschen I've had in a long time. Apparently the maultaschen had been freshly made this Monday morning. The sauce and the geschmelzte onions were excellent. With the fresh green salad and potato salad the whole meal was a delight. Unfortunately, my companion had less luck with her Gemischter Salat mit gerösteten Maultaschen. The salad was fine, but the slices of maultaschen were much too thin and burnt. She left half of the maultaschen slices uneaten. Otherwise, a great place in Stuttgart for fine food at low prices.

Premises: I visited in winter. There is seating on the ground floor in the taproom, on the first and second floors. Unfortunately you have to go through the taproom, which is a smoking area. As a non-smoker, I found it pretty disgusting. The kitchen is also just behind the taproom. Food: The food was served shortly. A waiting time of less than 10 minutes was ideal for us that evening. For me there was a schnitzel with spaetzle Price of 14.50 EUR. The schnitzel was probably not of the best quality. I guess canteen quality in terms of taste, but good. The person opposite was very happy with the Maultaschen and potato salad, around 15 EUR. Conclusion: solid food, at good prices. It's also nice to sit on the first floor. The service also good. Much more pleasant with the outdoor seating options in summer. With the Schnitzel, I just had the feeling that it was frozen food that was prepared in the deep fryer.

Very cozy and also very tasty food! Had salad with Maultaschen and napkin dumplings. 🤌

Everything was good, especially the meatballs and the cheese spatzle

Il Platzhirsch di Stoccarda non delude mai! Cucina semplice ma ben elaborata, ambiente informale, prezzi molto ragionevoli, servizio impeccabile.

The stars are only for the staff and the food. The atmosphere seems very tired and old-fashioned. If you want a table as a non-smoker, you first have to go through the smoke-filled smoking area to the first floor. The dining room didn't seem particularly inviting, everything was very worn and old. The sanitary facilities were dingy. All in all, probably not worth a second visit. Too bad.

Very good food and good service, were very well looked after by the employee Lily. A good recommendation for every evening

Delicious schnitzels at fair prices

1. Very good food with a good price-performance ratio, 2. Very friendly and personable service (waiter), 3. "Friendly" atmosphere, 4. SUPER restaurant!!

Mega concept between bar and business. I really enjoy going here. Friendly service. Great ambience and really great schnitzel. Always happy again! Simply relaxed!

Para ser honestos, solo fuimos a este lugar ya que aceptaba tarjetas de crédito y el de enfrente solo aceptaba efectivo. Nos quedamos satisfechos con nuestra elección. Es un bar alemán local con un restaurante en la planta alta que sirve comida alemana. Tenía un buen ambiente y la joven camarera trabajó muy duro, haciendo un buen trabajo. La comida (Schnitzel con pasta alemana, Schnitzel con patatas fritas y Beef Cake) junto con la cerveza era sabrosa.

Unfortunately a visit that will definitely not be repeated. The cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired, from sticky menus and uncleaned tables to the toilet, which feels like it hasn't been cleaned for months. We were there shortly before the menu changed, the waitress took our order with the note that this menu was only valid at 4 p.m. and took it to the kitchen 10 minutes before 4 p.m. The cook then came out of the kitchen and barked at the waitress in an unacceptable tone that the card was only valid from 4 p.m. and in front of the guests, simply a no go. In keeping with the ambience, the food wasn't a taste explosion. Conclusion: Not recommended!

On the upper floor -> Good place to be, good vibes, cool waiter, way ahead in terms of taste

Nice atmosphere, good food and beer. We stopped for lunch and it was very nice.

We ate very well. Simple and solid home cooking at more than fair prices. The basement is reminiscent of good old pubs and upstairs it is very cozy, old but modern. The food is simpler but very tasty. It's also great for simply knocking back a few beers.

The beef goulash was out of this world!! Extremely delicious!! My friend's breaded schnitzel was also very good! We'll be back :)

Quite youthful place in the center of Stuttgart. The food is very good. I recommend the Kasespatzle typical of the area. Good beer

Delicious beer and the food has been great so far (especially the portion size). The service is sometimes bad because it is unfriendly, but that is the exception. There is usually a nice service team there.

Cheap and good food. Beer etc. is also good so what more could you want

Delicious food at good prices. Sitting outside in summer is really great. Inside I think the ambience is rather ok.

Great atmosphere, the food was really tasty and the service was very friendly.

Very nice restaurant in the middle of Stuttgart. It can be very sociable here. There is enough space in the Platzhirsch, you can spread out over 2 to 3 floors or even sit in front of the restaurant. The staff was very friendly and quick. The cheeseburger was well done. A nice evening. Thanks.

A good student bar but no longer

The street musicians who can't do anything and demand money where the restaurant is allowed is very annoying. Otherwise absolutely great.

The cheese spaetzle was really good. Especially with the bacon. Unfortunately, we noticed that some of the waitresses needed several requests before we could order/pay for drinks. The cider I ordered was only 0.4l instead of 0.5l as offered on the menu. Price/performance is okay.

I went with locals 2 years ago. I went again this year. I can say that I do not recommend you to go on crowded days like Friday and Saturday. Neither the order taker nor the server is around.

I got Maultasche on the recommendation of my friend from the area and it was really tasty. Great value too!

The food is fine - depending on what is ordered. Unfortunately, it is often noisy outside and the tables could be cleaned more often. During my last visit I saw ants actively inspecting my salad and pancakes. Otherwise relaxed atmosphere :)

Very good price/performance ratio with quick, casual service. It was a bit noisy inside, but outside it was a nice, warm summer evening with delicious food

Food delicious and affordable. Service friendly. Recommended.

Very nicely located in the old town. Food tasty and reasonably priced. Service quick and nice. I can only give the ambience 2 stars because it is not pleasant when rats are running around your feet.

No prices in the online map -> no visit.

Absolutely recommended, Swabian cuisine mixed with vegan dishes, there is something for everyone. The prices are not outrageous like some other places.

Cool shop with delicious food, delicious drinks, good service and good prices!

Super friendly, fast and simply excellent service for years!

I was briefly visiting Stuttgart and was in the mood for Maultaschen. I enjoyed the Maultaschen!

Well, in general it’s ok. Lentils and sausage good, pasta without taste. The schnitzel is tasteless, the potatoes are unremarkable. Prices are high as always The staff seems to be doing their best serving this whole bunch of people, so I can give them a plus. Everything is outside and there are ashtrays on every table, which is a minus, I wouldn’t want everyone a meter away from me to smoke, and there are children sitting there, in general, I don’t support smoking under umbrellas. And it’s a very noisy, crowded restaurant in a noisy, crowded place. Ps there is probably a toilet, but it turned out to be difficult to find in one room, there are no signs. When going outside, they even give you free matches. Again, I do not support encouraging smoking. P.s By the way, there were no birddeckers :( Although sometimes they are given. And finally, everyone’s glasses are different. Glass and clay. There are many types of beer, so maybe it’s not chaos but a hidden order.. maybe birddeckers are also given only for a certain drink, such as lemonade

The food was very tasty and the service was quick.

Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, quick dinner served

Nice pub or nice restaurant in the city. Not perfect, but that's exactly why I like it again and again.

Great food, beer, service & location Many thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍻

Lively location and honest eatery. Slow and understaffed service. Chaotic menu with local classics and random international dishes - no concept. Overall fine, 4/5

Favorite restaurant and best cheese spaetzle in Stuttgart! I love all the dishes on the menu, the staff are always friendly and the atmosphere is great :)

great food at a great location in Stuttgart. Highly recommended!

Im very glad we chose this place to try traditional regional food! Definitely worth it! We chose Käsespätzle and Maultaschen - both of them delicious and with a lot of fresh vegetable.

The cheese spaetzle was very tasty and really enriched our visit. However, we made the mistake of initially sitting in the room on the ground floor. The area on the first floor is for non-smokers and offers a little more light, which creates a more pleasant atmosphere. The service was friendly and attentive, but unfortunately a bit understaffed, which led to longer waiting times. Overall a nice place with tasty food, but you should be careful where you sit to get the most out of your visit.

We were there on a Friday evening and it was correspondingly well attended. There is a smoking area downstairs and a non-smoking area upstairs. The two of us were able to get a seat at the counter upstairs. There is a large selection of drinks and a small menu. Based on the reviews we decided against schnitzel. I had the Maultaschen with potato salad and a side salad. And what can I say: I was thrilled. The food came quickly, had a good portion and was very good for the price. Because it was so full, it was a bit louder in the restaurant. All in all, the restaurant is definitely recommended!

On Monday evening I got the last table outside, had pilsner from the tap and the naturally cloudy one. For dinner we had cheese pätzle with a proper bachetse - a dream🤩 The Mautaschen were delicious and the salad dressing was great. We will be back.

Great location right next to the Hans im Glück fountain, one of the nice corners in the old town for going out, drinking and eating. Great dishes at a fair price. When the weather is nice, especially outside, and there's also something going on...

This beautiful place in the heart of Stuttgart gave us a nice lunch, during which, on a trip to Germany, we were able to taste spatzle, a typical dish from Baden-Wüttenberg which consists of irregularly shaped cheese dumplings accompanied by parsley, caramelized onion and vegetable garnish. All accompanied, of course, by excellent beers. The location is wonderful and the service was precise. We recommend it to Italians who want to eat typical Stuttgart dishes.

What a place. Completely screwed my head off. Met people from Stuttgart at the bar, great people. The bartender is super friendly and actually tolerated our drunken babble for far too long. Oh yes, you can smoke inside here, at the bar. It is non-smoking upstairs. What a fantastic tent.

Down-to-earth food (delicious potato salad) in a rustic atmosphere in Stuttgart's immediate party hotspot I would love to come here again with friends. In my opinion, the most significant disadvantage of the location: the smoking area is on the ground floor and you have no chance of escaping the cold smoke. To get to the non-smoking area on the first floor you have to go through the smoking area, even if no one is smoking, the residue is very unpleasant.

Our food tasted at canteen level and was carelessly prepared. Everything in the interior and in the toilets was a bit dirty and disgusting. Doesn't do justice to the hipster image.

Long waiting times. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that good. The lettuce was wilted.

Super Restaurant of German specialties. Very good price. Tasty and hearty dishes. Good beers in bottle or on tap. Beautiful setting on a lively square.

The food was very good and the service was very friendly. Price performance is right. Again any time!

Food was very good at a reasonable price, service was friendly. Again any time .

Very tasty Swabian cuisine. Good prices. Lots of vegetarian dishes.

Hello, I ate at Platzhirsche yesterday and was actually very disappointed. The food was lukewarm, the side salad was super small and my companion's food wasn't cooked properly. I was surprised that the food came after 5 minutes. I think charging 32.0 euros for two 0.2 drinks and mediocre food is questionable. The service was quite nice but not really attentive. Of course it's always a matter of taste for me personally it's more something you can drink against. If you want to eat Swabian food, I recommend Spätzlesschwoab or the Paulaner at Rotebühlplatz.

Quaint pub, great range of drinks, very nice service! Absolute recommendation!

We once had the spaetzle with fried champions etc. & once the Maultaschen with potato salad. Both dishes tasted really great. The spaetzle in particular was a really big portion. Both dishes came with a small salad with a very tasty dressing! The outside area is also very idyllic. There is a star deduction for the ambience inside. It's very simple and cool, but the food quickly makes up for it!

It says on Google that it is not very busy, but it was packed with people. Good food and service too

Failing on so many levels. We were really hungry. At this stage we are not even particularly demanding. “Top dog” sounded good. So are the reviews. So I went in and ordered a gyro and schnitzel with fries. So far so good. Drinks shandy and cola were delivered. The food also came quickly. My schnitzel was OK, the fries were a bit salty. However, after 2 bites I was rid of my schnitzel. The gyro was too salty and my girlfriend wanted to swap. I couldn't get more than two bites down and quickly crossed knife and fork. Attentive service staff would have noticed this, but we were ignored. This plate sat untouched in front of me for 38 minutes. And he was still standing there when we left. My girlfriend still ate the schnitzel, but the fries were too salty to eat. 15 minutes before paying, the waiter asked: "Should I pack up the leftovers?" We replied that that was not necessary. Did he ask how it tasted? No, he only did that at the next table. He knew we wouldn't eat any more and he still left it for 15 more minutes. Class service. Then we tried to get the bill. We waved and eventually managed to get their attention. We were so proud for a moment... until we noticed that the table behind us was being spoken to. They were surprised when asked: “You want to pay?” "Yes we can do that gladly." We were ignored again. Then at some point our waiter came to the table. Summed up what we had. Again, making no move to ask us if everything was OK. Probably wouldn't work, since the next table was asked twice... We reported back independently that both the fries and the gyros were completely oversalted and therefore inedible (see plate). "I'll pass that on to the kitchen... Sorry, have a nice evening anyway." That's it. No “Excuse me, is it OK if I just charge you for one dish?” or “Can I make it up to you with an espresso on the house?” No, nothing came. He had so many chances: When after a few bites the meal was stopped. When he asked about “packing up.” How many adults abandon a meal after a few bites? Then the refusal to clear away the food. Then the behavior during the payment process. This rating was well deserved. A little too much salt can definitely happen. However, how you deal with it then determines how the guests leave the restaurant. For us a clear “never again”. €35.60 gone... for a shandy, a coke. a schnitzel and a lot of trouble...

Alexa is a super friendly service 10/10

A rustic pub with incredibly great service..... The food is super delicious..... A MUST if you are in Stuttgart 💚

At the beginning we were surprised by the low prices and didn't expect much. Top dog cheeseburger €12 and Schnitzel with homemade spaetzle and sauce €13. But the food was just delicious. Everything fresh and good quality. Staff was quick and friendly. The drinks were also absolutely ok in terms of price. There was a smoking area on the ground floor and a non-smoking area on the first floor.

A classic in Stuttgart that I always enjoy visiting. Really fair prices too, especially for the food (which is also good!).

This level is where hospitality shines. The service is young and motivated. We ate Maultaschen and Käsespätzle. Sitting outside on the terrace in summer and on sunny days. At the fountain. We liked that.

Sadly I have to agree with many of the lower ranked reviews. We gave this place a shot due to the overall 4.3 at the time. This place is not for families nor non smokers. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor on first floor and outdoor are smoking. To get to the floors without smoking, you must pass through the smokers and go upstairs. We were on the top floor and it was deserted up there with only two bulbs out of four working. Food is bland. My service was very good. Atmosphere is horrible. Really for those locals, drinkers, and smokers. Not for quality food at all.

Good food, even better beer. Cozy restaurant and a successful balancing act between a traditional pub and a trendy bar :-) By the way, the non-smoking area is up the stairs.

Great food, great service and very fair prices. It's often full, especially on weekends and in summer, so it's best to come early or make a reservation. If it's warm enough you can also sit outside on the square, the atmosphere is cozy and there are also blankets. Personally, it bothers me that there is always a lot of smoking outside, especially since there is already a smoking area inside. I keep coming back!

Very nice service, very good prices (please keep them), reservation went well. Unfortunately a little too dark and schnitzel too thick and spaetzle a little under-salted. Overall, cool store

Dish without salt, otherwise good.

Rüde waiter. Shouting at guests, as a patron I had to dissipate the situation. Do not visit.

One of the best spots in Stuttgart Nice staff and very good atmosphere And the cheese spaetzle tastes very good here I can only recommend

The top dog was always our favorite bar until the waiter insulted my girlfriend completely because she didn't write to him. Sad after an evening where we paid €380. Never again after more than X years...

Ich war immer hier und habe mich immer wohl gefühlt Ob mit Familie oder freunden heute besonders Kellnern waren super freundlich und haben mich zum meinem Geburtstag auf ein Schnaps eingeladen. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Food is just eatable. No taste at all. No sause. If you call that one piece of leaf and a piece of cucumber a salad. People are smoking in here while we eat. Just a place for tourists. Wouldn’t call that a real schnitzel.

Kellner war sehr freundlich, Essen(Schnitzel) kam schnell und war sehr lecker. Preis-Leitungs-Verhältnis ist sehr gut.

Also das Essen ist preislich gut, aber das Schnitzel könnte handwerklich etwas liebevoller gemacht werden. Die Panade schmeckt, aber das Schnitzel muss definitiv vorher plattiert werden. Es war zu dick. Die Portionsgröße war aber super und sollte beibehalten werden. Kartoffelsalat war auch okay. Der Service war im oberen Stockwerk nett, aber etwas hilflos. Das Ambiente ist etwas dunkel, aber passt zur schwäbischen Mentalität.

The location is very close to the city centre in a bustling area. It's nice to sit and people watch. Platzhirsch is itself so-so. The service was slightly slow. I wish the menu also had more vegetarian options. A friend had the snake beer which he really liked.

Top bar, sehr faire Preise und echt gutes Essen sowie auch Drinks

Eine urige Kneipe, auch schön zum Draußen sitzen. Gutes Essen zu einem fairen Preis.

Sehr guter Service, das Rinderbrötchengericht mit Brüssel und Kartoffeln ist exquisit, es gibt separate Raucherbereiche und das macht die Atmosphäre sehr angenehm.

Waiters are cool, local beer is nice, just the music should be a bit more selected and louder.

War ja schon paar mal abends drinnen um Bier zu trinken mit Freunde, da war immer alles in Ordnung. Atmosphäre auch super. Letztens haben wir essen bestellt und leider war der Schnitzel echt ungenießbar. Schade.

Ich war mit meinem Mann und meiner kleinen Tochter im Restaurant essen. Der Service war super, alle waren sehr freundlich. Das Essen kam sehr schnell und war sehr lecker. Kann das Restaurant sehr empfehlen

Ich habe draußen gegessen. Der Brunnen vor der Wirtschaft verleiht den Platz eine besondere Note. Die hausgemachte Spätzle und der Salat schmeckten besonders gut.

Dchöne Kneipe und Restaurant. Alle nett und cool u d man kann auch mit Karte zahlen :) Im Sommer und im Winter sehr nett.

Im Aspekt Schärfe konnte nicht nur die Mexi-Shots überzeugen, auch im Service blieben dort keine Wünsche offen. Werter Phillip, hab Dank!

Kellner (Philipp (sportlich-schlank, ca 1,90, mitte/Anfang 20)) hat uns spitzenmäßig bedient. Preis Leistung 10/10. Wiederholungsbedarf🤗😎 Lg die Mädels 💖

Während ich mir genüsslich mein süffiges Helles zu Gemüte führte, genoss ich erstklassige Bedienung von Phillip, der uns ohne Echauffements, großzügigerweise Mexikaner-Schüsse spendierte. Chapeau und weiter so!

Der Service ist super, nett und freundlich aber leider ist der Salat schlecht. Für 12 Euro bekommt man Fertigsalat aus der Tüte mit Dressing drauf. Das ist wirklich schade. Wenn man nur trinken will ist alles top. Gute Stimmung

Eine rustikale "Studentenknepie" mit einem guten schnackhaften Speisenangebot. Auch sehr Preiswert! Was stört ist dass man durch die untere Rsuchergaststube gehen muss um nach oben in den Nichtraucherbereich zu gelangen.

Kultige Kneipe mit Mittagstisch!
