Restaurant Augustinerkeller in Mainz

We had reservations for a Sunday evening at 5:30 p.m. Our table was in the gallery (?). We quickly noticed that the lamp was hanging in an awkward position for one of the guests. In addition, the two seats for two were very impractically arranged. It seems as if the available space had to be used economically instead of giving up one of the two-person spaces. When we arrived there were still dirty dishes from the guest in front of us. In addition, there were two cards with clearly legible names on the site to identify our reservation and the following one. In the upper back area it was also difficult for the service staff to make themselves noticeable. However, our waitress was very nice and tried hard. We ordered the sauerbraten with red cabbage and potato dumplings and the pork schnitzel with pepper cream sauce and fries and salad. The salad came quite quickly, was a simple side salad and "nothing special" but fresh and tasty. The warm main courses also came after a reasonable waiting time. The schnitzel was a perfect size and fried just as well. The fries were crispy and delicious. The pepper cream sauce was delicious and almost a little too little. The sauerbraten, red cabbage and dumplings were top quality and well seasoned. For dessert we ordered the Kaiserschmarrn and the sweet tarte flambée. The Kaiserschmarrn came with applesauce, which I didn't need. Tastes very good. The sweet tarte flambée was also delicious, although surprisingly large (pizza size). Some kind of dip would have been nice here, for example some creme fraiche.

Cozy, friendly atmosphere, delicious food.

Wiener Schnitzel tasted very good. Unfortunately, far too little for me personally. Based on the price, there could also be 2 such schnitzels on the plate. The salad was also very, very clear. I haven't ordered any Kaiserschmarren yet. For €6.50 it was really ridiculously little. Too bad. Everything was great in terms of taste and ambience, but I wouldn't come back.

Augustinerkeller is always my go to spot on Sunday’s in Mainz when most places are closed. Their app is very user friendly and allows easy and quick table reservations. Big plus there bs having to call or sending and email. Food is right on target with typical favorites including some extras from time to time. Sauerbraten, Goulash and schnitzels are especially good.

The service was okay, there's nothing to complain about. But the food? Absolutely not worth the price – neither in quality nor in portion size. Had a Kaiserschmarrn, which tasted okay, but was a disgrace for the price. The portion was far too small, so the price-performance ratio just wasn't right. I wouldn't visit again.

Unfortunately it is very old, rustic yes, but no longer up to date. Food was okay, more but also not - modern is different and the portions don't fill hungry men. We've been here for years, but we didn't feel comfortable. Prices are not appropriate for the portions.

Good food and very friendly service.

Good home cooking at local prices. Rustic atmosphere and nice staff.

Delicious meal in a cozy tavern-style location. Friendly service in English as well.

Nice olfashioned German restaurant, beer from the barrel

Just had dinner there with a friend. We both had the pork schnitzel with fries. The food was very good, the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the schnitzel was fried to a perfect golden brown. The service was friendly and quick and the rustic ambience gave me a personal feeling of being at home. All in all just beautiful and perfect.

Our food was almost cold.......

Rustic atmosphere and good food. Plus friendly and fast service.

Wir wurden von Bedienung asiatische an den Tisch gesetzt und bekamen die Karten , nach 20 Minuten konnten wir immernoch nicht bestellen da Bedienung hinter Tresen telefonierte und uns übersah.. Die Frau am Nebentisch bat dann den Bediener von onben ,doch bitte unsere Bestellung aufzunehmen,da Bedienung Telefon wichtiger ist als Gäste. Der Bedienung männlich zwar schneller als die andere .Als ich mich bei der Frau bedankte sagte sie mir,das die das öfters macht. Meines Erachtens nicht normal in diesem Job ungeeignet. Waren schon öfters bei ältere Bedienung da ,die ist auf Zack und schneller als Asiatin.

Chicken schnitzel with white peppercorn sauce did not disappoint , their potatoes are also delicious. Place was busy , poor server was all alone . He did a great job though!

Place is fantastic Make a reservation...

Good home cooking in a rustic atmosphere. The service is quick and the food is very tasty.

It has a sense of history. The tables are old but very clean. The food is very good. The Haxe we had was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

It was completely okay. The food was okay. However, some kind of sophistication was missing. If you just want to fill your stomach properly, you can spend a nice evening there.

We came to this place together and chose the same dishes - mashed potatoes, beef rolls and red cabbage. The interior of the establishment was very dark and old, but the cleanliness could have been improved. We were guests of the city of Mainz and chose this place without relying on reviews, which, unfortunately, we read after the visit. The food, alas, did not live up to expectations, and after our visit, numerous critical reviews about this restaurant disappeared, and only positive ones remained. I wonder how it happened that all opinions about the place became exclusively laudatory😳

Portions too small for the price

We were there yesterday. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good. The side salad was very carelessly prepared. Hardly any dressing. Some of the food was cold and my son, 6, asked for croquettes because the portions were very small. We paid another 5.20 euros for that, even though we had already said that the food was cold. Pork, still raw. The service was really nice, unfortunately that was all.

Great food and well located, would recommend. Augustinerkeller has a good range of steaks, salads, schnitzels and sausages. Quite expensive but we thought the food was great quality and very tasty.

Excellent service and delicious products!

Habe ein Schnitzel bestellt mit Pfeffersauce , als das Essen kam und ich anfing zu schneiden stellte ich fest war nur halb gebraten .,die Bedienung sagte ist doch nicht schlimm .,und ging auf Beschwerde nicht ein . Sind aufgestanden und gegangen . Waren schon oft da , bei der anderen Bedienung gab es nie Problem.

As always, the good middle-class Mainz inn. Good mix of wine bar and brewery. Service and food very good.

Local is under Chinese hands. My wife and I waited 15 minutes to get a seat. There were seats available but the service took a break. Food was mediocre. It's a shame for such a historic restaurant.

Everything is wonderfully beautiful! Wine selection is particularly good!

We reserved a table very easily. We were greeted very friendly and shown to our table. The restaurant was very busy and there were long queues at the entrance because there was hardly any space left. After drinking, we went straight to eating. My wife had a special request for dumplings, which was possible and implemented that way. The food was really excellent. I had a grill plate with fries and various medallions. There was also a gravy and a side salad (in advance). My wife had a really delicious roulade with red cabbage, dumplings and dark sauce. Because everything tasted so good; We decided on a Kaiserschmarrn. Everything tasted excellent and we will definitely be back. Everything was within reasonable price. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I can fully recommend the Augustinerkeller and am already looking forward to my next visit.

Food was ok, nothing crazy Waitress was overwhelmed when the shop was full The ambience is just a cellar

We were there last Saturday at 7 p.m. The Augustinerkeller was completely full. We were lucky that we still got a place. We were served quickly, the food came in a reasonable time - about 35 minutes, with matching drinks (we had Augustiner on tap and an Aperol) time quickly passed. For food there was roulade and goose leg. A dream!! Thank you for that!

a very nice little restaurant, visited with my wife and they found us a spot even though it was rather busy. the food and service were both excellent and left nothing wanting :)

Six of us had dinner. Service was ok, unfortunately not always up to par, which surprised me again as there wasn't much going on. Food and drinks were forgotten even though they were noted! Ambiance is rustic to very old and shabby. Food was also ok, from the kitchen's perspective it could have been presented a little better on the plate, a lot has been lost over time. Summary: We are known to love eating and drinking, but unfortunately we are often forgotten even though we have made our presence known.

The portions of the food were far too small and none of our friends were full. Unfortunately it was a big disappointment... a shame. It wasn't particularly well prepared either, there were three mini mushrooms in the sauce, and the steak wasn't seared medium rare as stated. Spices were missing throughout the meal. The waitresses were nice and helpful

I had the Sauerbraten and my eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. The taste matched the view, spectacular! My brother and SIL had Jagerschnitzel and said it was great. Bier was cold and tasted wonderful. Would absolutely recommend!!

A nice traditional Mainz restaurant with a rustic atmosphere and very friendly service. My onion spit roast was tasty but unfortunately a bit tough and the fries were too salty.

Prices go up, quality goes down, what a shame! We've been eating Gäsekeule food for years, but it's never been as tasty as it is today. What a shame for 28 euros!

Four of us dined here last night ( Sunday, Dec 15). As far as FOOD goes I would say RUN! Very traditional dining experience EXCEPT the food was quite pricey for what your served. had the Angus pepper steak (medium) it was very small in size and weight but with a premium price, taste was not anything to leave a positive memory. So sad but I feel this establishment is simply taking advantage of the tourism in this area. My son had the mixed meat plate and found it to be very underwhelming in taste and quality (lack of). Daughter in law stated her Onion Soup was tastey. All in all we will not return.

The ambience and the food were very good and are recommended. However, I found the lady who mainly did the service to be rather unprofessional. There was an older man who just wanted to drink a beer and wanted to sit in a special place to do it. The man was told (in an unfriendly way in my opinion) that you can only sit there if you have reserved for two people (there was still a lot available at the time and the man actually just drank his drink and left). Later the lady had a loud argument with another service worker, which I found to be unprofessional that this happened in front of customers. Otherwise it was a successful evening.

Good Food, Good service and nice cozy atmosphere.

A must for every visitor to Mainz

Preis Leistung unterirdisch schlecht.Essen vorbestellt und trotzdem 2 Stunden gewartet,bestellt wurde Hirschgulasch mit Klöße und Rotkraut.Alles ungewürzt,Klöße ferigbeutel Rotkraut ohne Geschmack und das Gulasch hat nach Dosenfutter Geschmäckt. Getränke Bananenweizen mit Wasser gestreckt,Süßgespritzer Apfelwein mit Limo und Wasser gesteckt, Angus Steak ohne Gewürze.Mitarbeiter total überlastet,wenn man nach Toilettenpapier fragt weil es leer ist kommt nur ein schulterzucken und patzige antworten.Im großen und ganzen nicht empfehlenswert.

Was there for dinner with 15 people, food was pre-ordered. Still a 2 hour wait. Other a la carte guests were served earlier. Käsespätzle didn't taste like cheese at all. Service was overwhelmed. Only one toilet per gender.

Cozy, rustic. Nice staff. Fast service. Food was good. German cuisine. Prices acceptable.

Cool brewery restaurant with down-to-earth good food at very reasonable prices. Despite the large number of visitors, we were allocated a relatively quiet table, where our dog also had enough space and was quickly supplied with fresh water. Advance reservation request is recommended.

Very tasty and the service is also good. But what use is that to me if I have to leave a restaurant hungry? Sooo small portions and above all I don't understand why people save on the side dishes like fried potatoes and fries or side salad. It doesn't cost much more, but it makes for satisfied guests.

Ate (didn't eat) the worst "Zurich-style Geschnezeltes" of my life. It wasn't Geschnetzeltes but somehow like goulash lumps. The meat tasted "old" rotten meat, inedible. Sauce and noodles ok. I'll just eat there again.

Erst wird man an den Tisch gesetzt und bestellt dann essen und trinken. Dann kommt Essen und man fängt an zu Essen und 1 Minute später kommt Bedienung und sagt sorry sie müssen aufstehen der ist reserviert habe ich ganz vergessen .obwohl sie vorher ins Reservierung Buch geschaut hat. Sowas passiert bei der älteren Bedienung nie. Wie ich später erfahren habe wa das die Chefin ohne Plan . Also diese Person ist im Service fehl am Platz.

Very good food. My wife enjoyed the potato pancakes with applesauce, and I enjoyed the pork schnitzel with peppercream sauce and french fries. Overall very good.

Everything was perfect here, food, good service and quick service, even without a reservation. TOP

Absolutely worth repeating!! Very nice atmosphere, very attentive, courteous service and delicious food as well as excellent wine.

Really enjoyed our dinner here; charming atmosphere, delicious meals and friendly staff. Everything was so nice 🙏🏻

Great value for money, friendly service, highly recommended

Delicious food with friendly, young and competent service 👍 A rustic atmosphere with a lot of history 😊

Very nice place, polite and helpful staff, very good food. The wait between ordering and the arrival of the dishes was just a little long. However, highly recommended!

Everything was great, service, food great

Good home cooking in the heart of Mainz.

The restaurant looks quaint. However, the tables for 2 people are very narrow. It's also annoying that the table next door was sitting almost with its back on our table (not exactly appetizing). The service kept forgetting orders and seemed confused. The food came after 90 minutes. People who came 20 minutes after us left half an hour earlier. When we asked, we were told that there was a large order. The cheese spaetzle seemed carelessly prepared and the sliced ​​meat was just okay. All in all it was very sobering.

Time travel in student times but tourist prices...

Birthday meal ruined despite reservation!!! A table was reserved for 3 people on Friday before Sunday. Arrived on time as planned. Then the staff made a mistake when making the reservation and simply had a table that was (much!!) too small for two people. The staff were overwhelmed by the situation and also very unfriendly, even though the store wasn't even full. Very annoying because it was supposed to be a birthday meal and since the staff didn't try to solve the problem, we left disappointed. I can only recommend looking for something else Apparently the Augustiner Keller is well fed because it doesn't value guest friendliness.

Beautiful old restaurant with very tasty German cuisine and nice and attentive waiters!

Good food at reasonable prices.

perfect food, typically German. I highly recommend, real homemade

I ate like a wild pig here! Tasty and local cuisine.

Very nice restaurant with excellent food. Service very friendly and accommodating. Prices are okay.

A bit inconspicuous from the outside but nice and rustic inside. We went here based on a tip and it was worth it. There was delicious sauerbraten and beef roulade. With a bottle of wine, what more could you want? Everything tasted good and the portion was sufficient. If someone comes with a big appetite, they should also order an appetizer.

The food was plentiful and delicious, the service was quick and friendly and the whole thing was barrier-free! Very pleasant

Really underground. After an hour of waiting we asked for the first time. When a single meal arrived after about 1.5 hours, we thought that the other dishes would follow. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. When asked, they said that the managing director was not there and that they would not waive any of the amount. Never experienced anything so unprofessional, it's a real shame.

The service in this restaurant was unusually bad and unfriendly, and nothing could save the atmosphere. The older, short-haired waitress with glasses had a harsh tone from the start and radiated her bad mood throughout the restaurant. She immediately scared away new potential customers and you could feel and hear everything that she was upset about. I felt like I was in a support group, if you're not happy with your job, you should look elsewhere. At the end we got the bill, which she couldn't even figure out. We then paid together and didn’t even get a “goodbye” from us.

We had dinner at the Augustinerkeller in Mainz with 9 people for a birthday. The ambience is rustic, but the table design was unfortunately quite bland. The food – traditional German cuisine – was good. However, the service left a lot to be desired: it was rude and quite rude. Even though we had reserved the table for 7pm, we were subtly asked to leave at 9pm. This location is not ideal for birthday parties - there are definitely better alternatives in Mainz.

Somewhat old-fashioned decor - but the kitchen is convincing: Hungarian goulash with spaetzle and the cheese spaetzle were great. Decent wine selection.

A year ago I was super happy. Today I ate here again and nothing was right. The chicken was so dry you could throw it against the wall and service was also impossible. I won't eat here anymore. Shame about the money

Friendly and prompt service. Delicious food.

Nettes Personal und gutes Preis Leistung Prinzip und sehr gute Küche für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Jederzeit wieder da hin .😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀❤️😀

Great night with great friends and very tasty food . Staff beautiful too and we has singers . Thank you

Ate very well. We will be back.

Very tasty home cooking, just like grandma's. At very moderate prices. The menu is in English. The staff also speaks English well, so we can confidently recommend this restaurant to tourists who want to try traditional German cuisine.

It's very rustic and something special in Mainz! Sat in the upper part! I recommend reserving a seat, which is what I did, it was full, many guests had to wait for a seat!!! Food was great and service was very attentive, there were only two of us and we had a lot to do, a little patience is required!!! Were very satisfied with everything!!! Pork knuckle and grill plate very good!!!

Very fine food, large menu, nice service, great ambience. Definitely worth a visit.

Good food and reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. We were registered there with over 40 people and everything went well.

It was okay but nothing special.

It was very warm and after some initial chaos (we were a group of 15 people and had actually made a reservation), it was fine. The food was good and the beer was cold. 😋 The service was friendly, but since it was very busy they had a lot to do.

Had dinner with four people on August 28, 2024. My Angus beef steak, which was ordered medium, was a dry, well-cooked piece of meat, a disgrace. The side dish, over-salted fried potatoes, was far too little, as was the sauce. The friends' side dishes (fries and fried potatoes) were also far too salty and not enough in quantity. The main components of the meals were fine, but nothing more. The side salad was ridiculous in quantity. The price/performance ratio is disproportionate! The service had to be informed three times that we still wanted to order drinks, even though we were sitting outside in the path of three waitresses. There was also no reaction from the kitchen after we expressed our criticism of the food to the waitress. We had to pay in the restaurant as there is no other way to do this with a card. As we left there was neither a word of regret nor a farewell.

Traditional German pub with delicious food.

Delightful authentic restaurant in the main old street of Mainz. Very delicious meats and other dishes with real german twists. I greatly enjoyed eating here as it also has nice outdoor seating in the streets. Good beer selection also. Reasonably priced, i highly reccommend. If you want a real german experience, come here!

They were friendly to us, which I can't say about the descendants of the guests. Very rude and assertive, it's a shame, I think today everyone should be happy when guests come!!!

I can recommend the Augustinerkeller with a clear conscience 😋👍

Online status regarding free places is not correct, it's best to call and ask!

This is true hospitality, thank you very much. Food and service 5+++

Great service, really nice, courteous and considerate. The restaurant itself has a tradition, the food is of a good standard, appetizing and comes in a reasonable time. A perfect spot in the middle of Augustinergasse in Mainz, the interior is neat, but it could either be much more rustic, as expected for such a traditional restaurant, or something more trendy and modern. But we really enjoyed being there because we were well looked after.

The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious.

Great food, even grandma could eat there and she would be happy. Had beef roulade that you could eat without a knife - so tender. Red cabbage was also great. Everyone at the table was super happy. The next visit is already coming up.

Lots of choice on the menu, good food with large enough portions at reasonable prices

Very tasty goulash with very tasty cellar beer!!!

Kamen mit 7 Personen hatten reserviert und wurden prompt und gut bedient obwohl es sehr voll war.Bedienung war alleine und laden war gut besucht. Freundliche und kompetente Bedienung.immerwieder gerne kommen wir 👍🌹♥️

Typical traditional local family-run cuisine. Excellent quality and great food. Highly recommended!

Ugly shop, no good food, pure tourist attraction

The Augustinerkeller in Mainz in the old town is highly recommended. There is still real German cuisine here. The service was very nice and quick. I really had childhood memories of my grandma while spit roasting, kudos to your cook... not everyone can do that 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Restaurant mostly visited by tourists. Is okay

Cozy location, friendly staff. Enjoy your meal. Value for money a bit higher. Very easy to reach by public transport.
