Restaurant Augustinerkeller in Mainz

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

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

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

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.

Ate very well. We will be back.

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.

The beef broth was a good starter but the hunter schnitzel was a below average, rather tasteless and loveless main course. The ambience, service and soup could get 4* but the schnitzel, salad and especially the mushroom sauce hardly get 2*. It was also quite cheap though, so 3* overall without a doubt.

Unfortunately, the food wasn't that edible and the service (I assume it was the owner) was extremely unfriendly. A pity.

Small, beautiful, rustic restaurant with good food and friendly staff

Great ambience, tasty food at a fair price.

The ambience is nice and authentic. Unfortunately that's the only good thing I can say after my visit. Food was average I would have done just as well myself. Half a liter of beer costs over €5 which is way too much in my opinion. Unfortunately our service was very unfriendly. She made us feel unwelcome. Seems to me to be more of a tourist trap for non-Germans.

Had a table reserved for 9 people And got a table for 8 people. Then two people are at another table. Should come together and there is no shameful effort to change that. Even after a colleague called out that they had space in the basement, only stupid comments came back.

Very tasty schnitzel, nice and helpful staff.

Solid Mainz wine bar with home-style cuisine. The waiters are quick and accommodating. The food tastes good and is served fresh. Good address for visiting the city of Mainz. It's better to reserve a table on the weekend.

Phew, what should I write about today's experience. Food was absolutely solid. Even from the name, the whole thing seems more like a brewery and less like a wine location. And incredibly average wines... Service was really great and tried very hard. The location is totally rocked and something urgently needs to be done.

Everything is a bit old and a bit expensive, otherwise okay

Very good food, friendly service, highly recommended

It's a very good restaurant, the food is very tasty and the employees are very nice

Very nice cellar with good beer (Augustiner) and tasty and large portions. The service was quick, friendly and attentive. We'll come back when we're in Mainz.

Very nice restaurant in a rustic atmosphere. Friendly service. The food came very quickly and was very tasty. Gladly again

The service was very nice, but the food was sometimes terrible. Given the prices, you expect more than ready-made food with ready-made sauces. The restaurant looks nice, but it was very cold and therefore uncomfortable.

Das Essen war sehr frisch und die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Außerdem ist der Braten und das Schnitzel absolute Klasse.

Food tastes particularly good! Inside is cozy and not too cramped, very nice service, we will definitely eat with you again!

Very disappointing. Food like in the school canteen. Very unfriendly, cold service. We had to eat here due to time constraints. But after that we were told to “Get away quickly!”

Tosh- sit and watch people go by while drinking delicious coffee.

Location centrally in the old town, seating on two levels, food and drinks rather mediocre, service unfortunately often inattentive.

A beautiful rustic inn in the old town of Mainz. This also goes hand in hand with good home-style dishes, which unfortunately are very rare these days. All in all a recommendation for everyone who is looking for and likes a typical rustic inn 👍

Such an old, rustic restaurant....with the charm of nostalgia.....good home cooking. The service was very friendly and attentive. Worth a visit...

Rustic atmosphere, friendly staff, home-style cuisine, we were very satisfied

Very good food! Helpful staff. Beautifully decorated place!

We were here once a few years ago and it was excellent. Went there again today and it was an impertinence. The food is inedible! I suspect the owners have changed. It's a shame because the atmosphere is nice!

"It's really ridiculous that I was charged 3.50 euros for a glass of water and a euro more for the potatoes instead of fries. The schnitzel was nothing special!"

Nice restaurant, good food and good prices. We'd love to come back.

A decent place, food solid but unimaginative. Good if you don’t know German cuisine but a little “touristy”. Not many locals when we were there…

Alles top nette Bedienung trotz Stress weil voll höflich und aufmerksam . Schnelle Umsetzung unserer wünsche. Schulnote 1+++++ Einfach zu empfehlen dieses urige Lokal. Immer wieder gerne da hin

Very good German cuisine, I recommend the pork shank. Affordable prices. Nice and fast service.

Long wait for order. Tasty. The prices in nearby restaurants are the same, you can safely go to any one.

Food ok but portions far too small

I was here for the first time. The good reviews made me want to stay here. Unfortunately, I cannot fully confirm these reviews. Maybe it was just a slip. Unfortunately, the fried potatoes with bacon and onions were only deep fried and therefore not fried potatoes, which is a bit rude. The bacon described was not available. Onions were cut huge and not fried. I asked for a little more sauce when ordering. When my schnitzel came, I almost couldn't see any sauce. I was told the sauce was under the cheese. In fact, there was a little bit of sauce. The meat was okay, the service at the table was businesslike, the service at the counter was a little robust. The ambience is quite nice and reflects the charm of simpler years gone by. Unfortunately, I wouldn't eat here again in the future. Drinks are probably not made in-house. But it seems to be popular with tourists.

Very nice restaurant. Food flawless and delicious. The staff extremely friendly. Always my pleasure.

Very good quality traditional German restaurant in the heart of the old town.

Very nice restaurant in Mainz. The staff is very quick and friendly! The food is very good. The kitchen works until 10 or 11 p.m. I can only recommend this restaurant!

The Sauerbraten with red cabbage and fluffy potatoe dumplings were superb. Wide selection of beer. Atmosphere lively with happy diners. They said they were short staffed but the servers were friendly and the service was still quite efficient.

We were initially greeted very rudely by the lady and sent to a table; since we were traveling with a wheelchair and stroller, this was the only one possible. After we had made room for the wheelchair and high chair (which luckily was there) and had put the two remaining chairs aside, we had to put them away ourselves with a lot of fuss. The food was ready quickly, but the portions are quite manageable for the price and unfortunately there is nothing to choose from for little ones. It's a shame we used to enjoy eating here. So the restaurant might be recommended for long-established/regular customers, but unfortunately not recommended for non-residents as you probably won't be welcome.

I've been there several times with friends over the last few days and everyone enjoyed it and felt comfortable. Although some other guests were bothered by the fact that there wasn't a German boss. But there is still GERMAN CUISINE THAT TASTES LIKE GRANDMA'S!!!!

Nice quaint pub with delicious food

Very nice atmosphere, super nice service and fantastic food.

Very cozy restaurant with home-style cuisine. The restaurant is on 2 floors and the service was very polite. We were here and made reservations in advance. Our table was immediately free and clean. The food tasted very good and I am convinced that everything was freshly cooked. Prices are okay.

The price/performance ratio is not right at all. For €17.90 a small schnitzel with a dollop of sauce and a handful of fries is a disgrace. The food was hardly seasoned. I hardly ever complain in restaurants, but the only positive thing was that the waitress was friendly. Never again for me.

Had dinner there on February 7th. We expected something different from old-bourgeois food. The menu had something delicious for every taste. We had the grill plate, the salad was bland and didn't look particularly special. The fries weren't crispy, they were soft like noodles. The meat was nothing special, you could say from Lidl or Aldi. The ambience and furnishings are very old but in a clean condition. Price-wise it was okay. However, for us it's not about the cost but about the taste and this was more of a grade 4.

Delicious food, good selection, friendly service. Happy to come back :)

Das Lokal ist ganz nett, der Service auch, aber das Essen ist unterirdisch. Von der kantinenhaften Anrichtung abgesehen ist das Essen fad, das Bier warm und das Fleisch lässt einen glatt Vegetarier werden. Nein Danke.

It's a shame it's no longer what it used to be! Ready-made schnitzel, no salt, ready-made sauce and waited over an hour for food because I forgot my order. No apology and not even a goodbye at the end. Never again!

Butter-tender fried liver and super friendly young lady serving - it was fun and tasted very good, I'll be back!

Unfortunately the quality of the food was very disappointing...

Very nice service, I had roulade, very tasty

Not exactly cheap but very good quality food and drinks

Good food, rustic atmosphere and fair prices...will be back again

Food tasted good. Service was also nice but could still be improved. More seeing work would be appropriate and would significantly increase sales. But I'd love to come back.

Quaint rustic inn. Cozy interior with lots of wood. The cuisine is German, the portions are generous and the service is very friendly. Requests for changes to the courts will be taken into account. Highly recommended after a stroll through the city.

Rustic atmosphere, the roulade was excellent!

Average food, good prices, nice restaurant and good location. Highly recommended, especially for drinking (Spätzle not recommended)

Restaurant kann man weiter empfehlen war okay

Positive Review; The AMBIANCE is cozy, Friendy Waitress Negative Review; we just ordered 4 dishes; 1.Chicken Schintzel, 2. GOULASH 3. KÄSE MIT MUSIK 4.Schweinshaxe 2. glasses Cola 3. ginger Ale 4.1 glass Redwine but the waitress give us the extra chicken pepper that we did not ordered..but we gave it back to the waitress because we did not ordered it but at the end she told us they delete it already but still i pay extra of the food that we did not ordered..when i check the receipt at home its too late..i paid the dish that we did not eat.i really feel disappointed .they must delete it totally when they give us the receipt.. Food was okay but over all i expected more with the taste of Authentic German Food.Not worth it to go back again.

Sehr leckere Zwiebelsuppe und freundliche Bedienung

Gute Küche und sehr guter Service

Comida típica alemana, de lo mejor de mainz

Such a great authentic German meal! So glad they were open on Christmas Day for some stranded Americans. They gave us great food, great service and a brilliantly German setting. Sehr Gut!

Wir haben sehr lecker gegessen und getrunken und dabei noch unfassbar nette ältere Herrschaften kennengelernt. Die Bedienung war rustikal und nett. Das Lokal selbst könnte mal eine Renovierung gebrauchen. Trotzdem zu empfehlen

Nette Atmosphäre, gutes Essen. Sehr zu empfehlen

Schee, bisschen eng, Essen gut. Bedienung unter Stress, aber souverän und freundlich. Top!

Das Essen war sehr gut, auch wenn es mit der Bestellung anfangs nicht ganz gepasst hatte. Ansonsten alles super.

Very cozy place with good German food and drinks

Love this old world place . Great food and staff

Came back for old times sake. Service was rather indifferent. Ordered jägerschnitzle but came with plain cream sauce not jäger style. Love the interior.

Wir hatten einen super Glühwein dort getrunken
