Restaurant Burgwächter in Nürnberg

There is no roast pork or Schäuferle on offer on Saturday evening (they are still on the menu). Not a word about it when entering the restaurant. Only when you want to order the food after the drinks. In the restaurant, cables, light bulbs and cobwebs hang from the ceiling and also the wall. The lady at the tap looks annoyed. Only the service at the table does a good job.

Just drank beer and sat outside. Helped the waitress with the awning 🍺.

On the mountain, next to the palace, it is suitable for Asian tastes. The pickled cabbage has a suitable taste and is not too salty or sour.

Traditional German Restaurant in Nuremberg This charming restaurant is perfectly located next to the famous Nuremberg Castle, adding to its enchanting atmosphere. I tried the local dish Schäufele, a special pork cut cooked for three hours, tender like butter, and paired it with a slightly smoky dark beer. It’s easily one of the best meals I’ve had in Germany. The service was outstanding—friendly and attentive from start to finish. They even offered a beer tasting to help me choose the right one. The architecture is also worth noting, reflecting the traditional Nuremberg style, and there’s a terrace with a view of the castle and city. Though it was too windy and cold to sit outside, the indoor setting was cozy and inviting. Prices are fair, and the location is ideal if you’re visiting the castle and surrounding area. I would return to Nuremberg just to dine here again. 5/5!

Directly on the castle wall in a rustic atmosphere. The service is very attentive and friendly despite the high number of visitors. The prices are reasonable and the food is very tasty. We'll be back 🙂.

Nice, quick service, delicious beer, great ambience!!!

Very unfriendly staff, you couldn't even place the entire order without the staff already leaving. No need to visit again!

Were there with 12 people. Very tasty Food and great service.

Certainly a tourist place, but the bearded sausages with cabbage were good, the prices were still reasonable and the service was friendly and quick. The red beer is tasty.

Schnitzel extremely greasy breading, potato salad tasted strange, everything was better and very expensive.

The location was right in front of Nuremberg Castle, the food was delicious, they were friendly, the prices were good, and everything was good. The sausages were delicious, and it was better than the famous restaurant located a little below.

Everything is truly excellent and the price is truly one of the lowest in Nuremberg, the sausages melt in your mouth, congratulations

The location is great because you can take a break right there after the castle. The prices are fair. The food was a bit too salty (we all had the same dish and all agreed). The waitress doesn't care.

S’ Schäufele and the smoked Nurembergers were fantastic. Nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Very friendly service on site and when making reservations by telephone. Scheuferle, sausages and especially the sauerkraut are absolutely excellent. Price, quality and service bring tears to Munich's eyes, keep it up!

Anyone who has only ever known Nuremberg bratwursts from the supermarket will have their eyes opened here. Words can hardly describe what is conjured up here from simple sausages. And the sauerkraut with it is simply sensational! The food is only surpassed by the friendliness of the staff. If you are in Nuremberg, you have to go to the castle guard!

Super gezellig en heerlijk gegeten. Vriendelijk personeel en eten voor een zeer nette prijs. Echt Duitse gerechten met een uitgebreide bierkaart. Zeer aan te raden!

A huge plus is that you can fill up even with a small portion, the sausages are very juicy and tasty, the sour mashed potatoes are also very juicy and very tasty, and they gave all this free mustard in a bag And all this for 10 € and it was worth it, if I were to visit Nuremberg again I would come to this restaurant❤️‍🔥

Everything was really great, from the food to the service. The place where we ate best in all of Nuremberg. Really cheap bill for everything we took... Really well done, congratulations to the managers!

Super nice service and delicious food 🥰

Cool experience, incredible big portions of local cuisine. Affordable, quick and the view is beautiful

Pork neck? Be sure to eat those bones. One serving can feed up to 3 people It's a bit too much for three, so I added 6 pieces of sausage, so enjoy it. Highly recommended for the price.

We only drank two beers, but everything worked out. Nice service, nice place. Thanks.

Everything was great, we felt very comfortable! Thanks for the great service and the delicious food, we'll be happy to come back!

Order was recorded incorrectly. There was no insight. Just a stupid saying.

Very tasty food and super friendly staff! Just don't expect a parking space nearby. It's best to take public transport or park in the parking garage and walk a bit

Very tasty and reasonable prices

away from the hustle and bustle. surprisingly authentic cuisine. Very attentive service. gladly again

Food tastes okay, but is not a highlight. Neither does the coffee, a normal machine is at least at the same level. Prices are okay for the location.

Food and bier was great! Wish they were opened earlier for lunch tho!

Small restaurant with a beer garden directly under the castle next to the monkey rock. Very friendly staff, fair prices, 2x 0.5l wine spritzer and two small dishes for a total of €30

So etwas ist mir noch in keinem Restaurant passiert. Ich habe mich nach langem Suchen für „Burgwächter“ entschieden und über die Homepage für 4 Personen (unser Gast, eine ältere Dame aus dem Gegend von der Bodensee, mein geistig behinderter Sohn, mein Partner und ich) einen Tisch für Sonntagabend reserviert. Ich habe per Email auch von der Chefin die Bestätigung bekommen. Unser Termin war um 18:30 Uhr, aber wir waren schon etwa um 17:45 Uhr da und fragten höflich, ob wir schon jetzt etwas zum Trinken bekommen könnten und danach Essen bestellen würden. Von der Kellnerin (leider ohne Namensschild) kam Antwort: „Ich habe keine Reservierung bekommen, aber Sie können egal wo sitzen, es gibt genug freie Plätze.“!!! 😵 Ihr war es auch egal, als ich meine Email-Antwort vorzeigen wollte. Na gut, wir haben unsere Getränke bestellt. Dann sagte sie uns, daß wir unser Essen nur bis zur 18:30 Uhr (welche ja unsere Reservierungszeit war) bestellen können, weil die Küche schließt. Obwohl auf der Homepage steht: Sonntags warme Küche bis 20 Uhr. Wir fühlten uns wie „im falschen Film“ und wollten schon weggehen, dann aber gedacht, daß wir evtl wo anders nichts mehr bekommen werden, und trotzdem geblieben. Wir bestellten Nürnberger Bratwurst Trilogie für 2 Personen, Schäufele und Käsespätzle. Wie von Zauberhand kam das alles in etwa 5(!) Minuten, daher kann man vermuten, daß es nicht frisch zubereitet war, sonst aufgewärmt. Mein Schäufele war etwas trocken und ein bisschen angebrannt, aber die Portion war groß genug und ich habe noch halbes davon mitgenommen. Anderen hat ihr Essen gepasst. Die Essenskarten sahen aus, ob wären sie 20 Jahre alt. Nach einem sehr schönen Tag in Nürnberg war dieses Restaurant leider eine Enttäuschung! Und ich habe mich vorher schon ein paar Wochen auf ein Schäufele gefreut… Ich habe danach per Email die Chefin um eine Erklärung gebeten, aber keine Antwort bekommen.

We had our wedding reception in the restaurant. We and our guests were very satisfied. Everything worked out wonderfully 👍

Sausages sticky with coal from the grill that hadn't been cleaned, the outdoor dining area unkempt, service moody.

Very bad experience When I ordered, I said I wanted a Schäufele and was served Wiener Schnitzel. After confirming with the clerk, he told me categorically that this was Schäufele. I even showed him the correct picture of Schäufele, and he told me that it was another dish on the menu. It made me very confused When I checked out, I realized that this was not a Schäufele at all, and the Wiener Schnitzel was very ordinary and made me tired of eating it. I didn’t come all the way here just to eat some Wiener Schäufele. I don’t understand at all why the waiter doesn’t admit that they served the wrong meal, and also deceives the customer by saying that this is the correct name of the meal, and that it is because of language problems. In my opinion, it is just sophistry and fear of trouble. I clearly showed Schäufele's photo. The clerk was telling lies. Pay attention to the waiter wearing glasses. He may deceive you. In addition, the business hours are not at all 22 o'clock as written on Google Map. The waiters started to rush people around after 20 o'clock. Please put the correct information. The only advantage is that it is very close to the castle and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, but I really do not recommend this restaurant. The clerk was very arrogant. It was the first time in Europe that I encountered such an exaggerated thing in a year.

The meat dishes are excellent, unfortunately this does not apply to the vegetarian dishes. The celery schnitzel and the baked brie were inedible, the salad that came with it had numerous brown spots and was generally not fresh. The dressing isn't good either. Unfortunately for vegetarians we only recommend the fries, which are really very tasty. The service staff is friendly and on the ball, but didn't want to know why all of the vegetarian dishes had been returned. What I would like to give credit to the service is that we still got our reserved table, even though we were 30 minutes late due to traffic. When we called again about this, we were told that it wasn't a problem and that the table would still be reserved for us.

A gastronomic institution at the foot of the imperial castle.

Nice atmosphere, right outside the castle, very delicious food.

Unfriendly staff, left it with water. €3.70 for the glass with mini lemon slice.

I had beer goulash with butter spaetzle. To kneel.

Super delicious, thank you very much!

Ristorante carino sotto il castello. Mangiato le tipiche salsicce di Norimerga e Schäufele in Dunkelbier-Sauce, il tutto accompagnato da birra locale. Peccato che al tavolo vicino al nostro c'era un signore che ci ha rovinato la cena fumando per quasi un'ora un sigaro.

Unfortunately, that was a bad recommendation from friends...we were there during the week. I had made a reservation, but I could have saved the reservation since there wasn't really much going on. The selection of different dishes is really manageable and small, unfortunately my food was very salty and that of the others was mediocre. As a little consolation for the over-salted food, we were given a short meal on the house, which was again a nice gesture. The location of the restaurant is really nice, you have a nice elevated view over Nuremberg, the staff was also friendly and quick to serve and clear away, but since the food wasn't convincing, we probably won't come back. You can definitely recommend it for a beer on the terrace, but nothing more.

The waitress got me 2 out of 3 things wrong, I was also rather disappointed with the taste, but the prices are okay. It's also quite nice to sit there.

What an apalling rude restaurant. We travelled from the train station, got stuck in traffic, phoned them to say we are running 10 minutes late. Got there 5 minutes after that and the smirking “staff” member said they had cancelled our booking while there were empty tables. We actually thought “staff” was joking…oh dear but no …they actually wouldn’t serve us! Classic. Well smirking staff if I can put just one set of people off going to your drab tourist trap restaurant it will be worthit, saving them the cost of a cab and effort visiting. Save your hard earned money and go somewhere else. Nuremberg is absolutely lovely and everything else, everybody and other restaurants have been brilliant. This toxic place is an exception doesn’t deserve your money. Move on.

A dusty, damp and sweaty feel to the restaurant knocked home the fact this is most likely a tourist trap. I say most likely because we didn’t even get seated! I booked the restaurant (more of a pub) for 8pm but due to the traffic from the convention in town we were 13 mins late. Despite me phoning while in the taxi at 7.55 saying we were going to be 15 mins, an absolute horrible and sassy waiter cancelled our booking in front of us since we were a couple minutes late. After seeing multiple empty table, he refused to even serve us and then essentially told us he didn’t want us there because we were late. We went down the road and a lovely Italian restaurant called Muro, who accepted us despite being full - that’s a true restaurant

Just the most rude reception at any restaurant we have had . We were running late because the town traffic was terrible and our taxi was not able to move . We rang and said we would be late . On arrival were told the booking was cancelled. Not because they were busy just because we were late . I have to say on arrival the cancellation was an absolute relief. The restaurant is damp and smells of old oil . Please do yourself a favour and avoid this .

What an absolutely rude disgusting place. Absolutely do not go to this place. Rude arrogant staff. Smells damp Absolutely avoid. Food looked awful but we didn’t even get to eat as they gave our reservation away with a snarky smile as we were a few minutes late even though there were spare tables. Apparently nothing they can do….well I tell you what potential customers can do …and that’s take your business elsewhere . The rest of of Nuremberg islovely. This is the absolute opposite

Wrong time closes at 8pm do not come for dinner

Located at the foot of the Kaiser Castle, a very good asparagus salad comrade. Very friendly staff always happy

Incredible, despite the location not a tourist rip-off, but good, fair, friendly!

Locale accogliente in un ambiente fiabesco. Toni scuri e sedute in pelliccia, cibo ottimo con spiegazione in perfetto italiano grazie a Dante.

Great place, great food and great beer)

The atmosphere is good, there are flowers falling while eating, and the service is also very good. There is a QR code on the menu cover. You can read the English menu. The beer is delicious and the pork knuckle is delicious, but you will definitely get tired of eating it alone. It is a good place The resting place is right at the entrance of the castle.

I can't comment on the food yet, but the conditions, the atmosphere and especially the friendly and customer-oriented service deserve 5 stars. Should not be missing on a beer tour dedicated to the castle.

Just had a drink here after climbing to the castle. Service was great.

A bit rough but friendly service. Food was ordered and was on the table 5 minutes later (Schäuferl and roast pork). There's a bit of room for improvement in terms of taste. We wouldn't go to this restaurant again.

Big loser. The children ordered a children's steak with fries. The fries smelled of burnt oil, the schnitzel had a strong taste of rancid oil, the meat smelled, it was strongly stale... I had a wurst with sauerkraut, quite ok, I just had to change the bread for the old, hard and moldy one they brought me . The beer goulash was ok. Overall thumbs down.

Small but fine restaurant with a nice atmosphere and friendly service. Get the food quickly. Delicious Franconian, manageable menu and fair prices for the location!

Delicius and VFM! Totally recomend.

Small but good restaurant. Prices are very reasonable for the location it is in

Very delicious food, very generous portions. Very good attention from the staff, in addition

It's a good place to go out to eat.

Delicious food, the cheese spaetzle could have been a little more seasoned. Bread dumplings very tasty

Very nice German food. They do not offer 200 dishes, but about 20. What they offer has class and looks great. I had mushrooms with Semmelknödel. Great! The waiters are nice and professional. A lot of beers to try from. Prices are moderate. I was surprised. This place is the heart of Nürnberg. Nice walk from there up the castle. Enjoy the view across okd town.

The food, service and atmosphere were fantastic. Thank you for a good meal!

Nice location, there's a little something to go with the people of Nuremberg - what more could you want =)

Regarding its location, close to the most touristic spot in the city, the food and service is really good. The food is also nice, and freshly cooked

We ate very well here 👍😋! Come back 😃.

Wir hatten den Geheimtipp des Lokals, das Burgwächter Schäuferl. Es war butterweich, saftig und knusprig. Also sehr geschmackvoll. Auch Soße und Salat (ein Extra auf Vorschlag der Bedienung , da ich kein Sauerkraut vertrage) top. Besonders herauszuheben waren auch die sehr freundliche Bedienung, die "echte Nürnbergerin" und der Herr hinterm Tresen, "der Chiemseer". Solchen Service würde man sich gern immer wünschen. Kurz: sehr gutes Essen mit perfektem Service!

This restaurant is the best I have ever tasted in the city. What I particularly loved was the pork, where there was crispy skin along with the delicious sauce.

The guest room is comfortably furnished and the staff was really nice. The menu contains many regional dishes at really good prices. The portions are very generous.

Rustikale Wirtschaft direkt unterhalb der Nürnberger Burg. Das Essen ist typisch fränkisch. Mein Schäuferle war kross und echt lecker. Die Schnitzel sind riesig und schmecken ebenfalls sehr gut. Der Service ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Ein sehr schöner Ort um sich nach dem besichtigen der Burg ein Getränk zu genehmigen. Zum essen kann ich leider nichts sagen.

Junges Personal dementsprechend keine Berührungsängste, sehr aufgeschlossen gegenüber Fremden, das Essen war auch gut und reichlich, preislich leicht teurer als anders wo aber es lohnt sich, jetzt im Winter wenigen sitze frei im Sommer kann man bequem draußen sitzen und den Blick auf die Kaiserburg genießen!

Wir waren Mitte Dezember da und saßen draußen. War sehr schön, essen haben wir nicht probiert, Bier war lecken, man musste nur Geduld haben, bis es ankam.

돼지 어깨고기 요리를 무조건 맛 봐야합니다! (사진3) 다른 식당에 가려했는데 그 가게가 만석이라 이 가게에 오게 됐어요. 생맥주 3종류를 시켰는데 모두 맛있었습니다. 번역기를 돌려보니 양조장에서 만든 맥주 같았는데 맛있었어요. 돼지 어깨고기 요리를 굉장히 추천해요. 같은 바삭하고 속은 촉촉하며 굉장히 부드러웠습니다. 칼질이 필요 없었어요. 언니들이랑 감탄하며 먹었네요. 소세지도 맛있었습니다! 직원분들이 굉장히 친절했어요! 독일어를 못하는 제게 친절히 영어로 설명해주었어요. 그리고 메뉴에 대해 궁금한게 있으면 물어보라고 웃으며 안내해줬습니다. 인종차별도 전혀 없고 굉장히 친절해서 기분이 좋았어요. 음식은 여자 3명이서 돼지어깨요리+소세지9개+사이드 샐러드 +맥주3잔+병맥주 1잔+미니 맥주 1잔+디저트를 먹었는데 세명 모두 배가 터지도록 배불렀어요. 이렇게 먹고 총 56.50유로가 나왔습니다 우연히 오게 된 식당인데 너무나도 친절한 직원들과 맛있는 음식 덕분에 만족스러운 새해 첫날 저녁 식사를 할 수 있었어요! 뉘른베르크에 오신다면 꼭 추천해드려요

Sehr nett mit überragender Lage.

Sehr sehr leckeres Essen und Trinken, freundliches Personal und schön gemütlich eingerichtet. Kann’s mehr als empfehlen!

Sat down for some lunch here yesterday, it was wonderful! The goulash was great, tasted like the holidays. Others had the sampler of 3 different sausages, which were all excellent, as well. Our server spoke perfect English and was super helpful when we had questions about the menu. Highly recommend!

Meiner Meinung nach leider nicht zu empfehlen! Die Bedienung ist sehr nett - deshalb 3 Sterne! Das Essen leider nicht wirklich gut! Der Schweinsbraten war verkocht (glich eher Pulled Pork - nur nicht knusprig) und in weißer Pilzsauce ertränkt! Das Schäufele war sehr trocken und mit einer sehr wässrigen Soße serviert. Knödel und Sauerkraut waren ok. Unsere Bekannten hatten das Biergulasch - das war ganz ok aber auch nichts besonderes! Da haben wir schon viel viel besser gegessen! Die Preise sind ok - das Bier war gut - das Ambiente ist auch nett aber es ist eng dort! Vielleicht sollte man überlegen einen Koch einzustellen!

Great sausages and amazing service!

Red beer - very special and very tasty. The food was good, Wiener schnitzel was especially good for kids. The place is highly recommended

Studenten Kneipe. Essen passt. Preis Leistungsverhältnis passt

Essen war sehr lecker, die Bedienung freundlich, das Ambiente toll. Leider hat ein Kollege eine Geflügelunverträglichkeit. Das Schnitzel Wiener Art war nicht gekennzeichnet. Das Personal hat dann aber weder das Essen noch sein Bier berechnet.

Food was good. The staff were a bit rude and refused to serve tap water to a kid despite us all ordering main meals and other drinks. Just go around the corner to Hexenhäusle where they serve the same food for the same price with far better service and atmosphere.

Das Ambiente und die Lage war das einzig angenehme am Restaurant. Das Essen war zwar nicht schlecht, aber auch nicht gut. Ich würde es nicht meinen Freunden und Familie empfehlen.

Sehr schöne Gaststätte. Personal sehr freundlich und gastfreundlich. Und das Essen super lecker. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.

Lustiges restaurant nur was getrunken

Rustikales Lokal, gutes Essen, freundliche Bedienung. Die Toiletten könnten etwas sauberer sein.

Kleine Location aber mit sehr viel Charme! Sehr sehr sehr feines Schäufele und süffige Biere! Sehr freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service! Jederzeit wieder! Reservation zu empfehlen!

我们吃了烤猪肩和香肠： 烤猪肩的分量比较大，我作为一个经常健身的人吃完感到比较撑 香肠味道非常不错，分量也刚刚好 如果想尝试德国本地特色美食的话，这家餐厅是一个不错的选择

Very friendly staff and good for kids. Good food too! Would recommend

Great, food was fantastic and staff was great

Wonderful meal. The Wiener schnitzel was perfect.location was great as we were right by the castle.service was really good. Atmosphere was relax and enjoyable.

Wir waren mit Japanischen Kollegen dort und es kam super an. Aber auch für mich als einheimischer war es ein toller Abend. Die Bedienungen waren trotz voller Hütte super freundlich und verständnisvoll. Das Schäufele war auch super. Danke nochmal

Sehr spontaner Besuch in diesem urigen Lokal. Sehr angenehmer Empfang. Service, Essen + Getränke über Preisleistung wirklich zu empfehlen.

Urigen Restaurant direkt unter der Burg

Super leckeres Essen und toller Service. Das Schäufele war sehr zart und die BratwurstVariation war mal eine tolle Abwechslung.

Wir kehren hier immer wieder, über die Jahre, ein, scheinbar unterwechselnden Besitzern, wir mögen es aufgrund der Lage zur Burg, der Burg typischen ähnlichen Einrichtung dem Ambiente, und das Essen hat auch gepasst. Wir empfehlen, und dieses ist übrigens auch Gesetz eine allergikerkarte auch in der Wintersaison vorrätig zu haben. Dies führt zu einem Punktabzug, dass die hierdurch erforderliche Änderungen mit 2 € berechnet wurde, um die bedenklichen Spätzle gegen Pommes zu tauschen habe ich entsprechend beim Trinkgeld quittiert, dies nur am Rande.
