Restaurant Goldenes Lamm in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

DOGS NOT WELCOME! We've eaten here several times over the last few years, not world class but good home cooking. For the second time we had our dog with us... In May we were quite reluctantly given a table and it was already said that big dogs stink, but it was positively and surprisingly discovered that our dog neither smells nor makes any noise, he just sleeps! Now to the current visit: When we asked if they had a table for 2 with a large dog (short fur, no smell, and quiet and well-behaved!!!), we were told that everything was reserved and also for the whole evening (it was only 6:30 p.m., never anything would be free.) 2 tables were free, there was no sign on them…. Well… what annoyed me was the condescending manner in which I was treated! They won't see us again in their guest house, which we lived in a few years ago, nor in the restaurant again!

Nice restaurant. Very nice staff even in the Christmas rush. There are reasonable prices here. Fried Maultaschen with scrambled eggs and a large salad are available for €14.90. It was delicious and the salad was fresh.

The restaurant is rated: Very child-friendly, homemade spaetzle is super tasty, cordon bleu with fries is also great and Maultaschen with honey mustard dressing is also good. The Scheyrn dark beer also tasted very good. Recommended!

We ate there during the Reiterlesmarkt. The staff is super nice, the restaurant is cozy. Unfortunately the food was very expensive, but that's just how it is in a tourist town with such a location. But the quality is unfortunately not particularly good for the price. The spaetzle was good, but unfortunately the loin was very tough. The schnitzel was also extremely thin and obviously pressed - so not very good quality.

We were in the restaurant with five people and were seated at a table of four due to the restaurant's occupancy. The waitresses were extremely courteous and friendly. After a larger table became available, we were offered the opportunity to move. TOP. The food we ordered came very quickly and there was nothing wrong with the quality of the food. There's really nothing to complain about here. We'd love to come back.

We have been to Rothenburg several times and also to this restaurant. The food was always very good and the service was extremely friendly. Special requests were also responded to very accommodatingly. The prices don't differ significantly from comparable restaurants and we will certainly come back. And we're already looking forward to it.

We were eating here with a group of 50 people at the same time. We were served super quickly, the food was delicious and it's really in a great location right on the market square Gladly again 😊

Super friendly service and delicious food. I'd love to come back.

I visited this restaurant three times this week and I was really very satisfied! The food is very tasty, freshly prepared and the portions are huge! The prices are very fair and the service is very friendly and customer-oriented! I can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience! I'd love to come back!

My colleague and I were at the Goldener Lamm with 4 clients (cognitive/physically impaired). We had charming, very attentive service. We have special clients, every wish has been fulfilled. The service, the food and the prices were great for us. A huge compliment, we can't go everywhere with our clients due to special circumstances, but we will definitely come back here. Keep it up, more of you and it could get nicer.👍😊🫶

Very friendly service, delicious food, relaxed atmosphere: we would love to come back! Thank you for the lovely evening!!

Friendly welcome, clean restaurant and nice service! (LG to Gabriela) The food was very good and we didn't wait very long. Soup, main course and salad, tasted absolutely fine. We would love to come back! Greetings from Carinthia!

Tastes very good, friendly staff. Only recommended :)

Very tasty regional food. Very courteous staff. Prices reasonable.

It was a great experience and speak English with excellent service,

Schnitzel was very good. They spoke English which was helpful. Great service.

Good food, excellent service. Very friendly and good environment. Will need cash since they dont take card

Excellent place to get food. Get the Frank Bratwurst!!!

Nothing spectacular but good food and nice service

Very tasty food and drinks. I had the pork loin with pepper sauce and homemade spaetzle. Meat was tender and the sauce was well seasoned. The apple fritters for dessert were also very tasty. The atmosphere is cozy and the service was very attentive and friendly. It was a very nice evening for me and my husband.

Today we were here for lunch. Pizza schnitzel and dumplings with champions. Both tasted very good. You can't understand the bad reviews. The waitresses were friendly. Would definitely come again

The service was very quick, attentive and friendly. I can only recommend the roast pork – it was tender like butter. For dessert I had a very tasty apple strudel with vanilla ice cream.

I don't understand the bad reviews at all... Food was very tasty and served quickly, service was very friendly and a nice atmosphere.. We would be happy to come back...

We went to the restaurant for lunch and were served incredibly well. The waitress was very child-friendly, had room for the stroller and warmed us up a drink for the baby without complaining. The food was delicious and the restaurant was beautifully renovated. Kindergarten with four typical dishes is available. Can only recommend it for families!

This review will not bother the store at all as it is a typical tourist rip off store! The waitresses were friendly, but that was it! We had 2 small children with us and the people at the table to the left and right of us ordered after us and were almost finished with our food when ours came after half an eternity! The roast pork was completely unseasoned, the sauce tasted like absolutely nothing, just like the dumplings... the red cabbage didn't taste good at all either and the whole thing for almost €18 (!!), juice spritzer €4.80! To be honest: We wouldn't eat there again, even for free! Be sure to eat somewhere else, the chance that the food will taste better and be cheaper is about 100%. If the chef learned his trade (which I doubt), he is a disgrace to his profession. Very sad that our excellent Franconian food is presented to foreign tourists in such poor quality. Shame on you!!!

You don't necessarily have to go abroad, you'll get ripped off here too. After a bike ride we wanted to have a drink. Two cyclists, 0.4 liters each, for just under 10 euros. Statement from the waitress: We are in Rothenburg and you can ask for whatever you want. It's sad that we have to experience something like that here in Franconia. No wonder the catering industry is getting worse and worse. 👎👎👎

Nice restaurant with local dishes. Located in Rothenburg o.d. Tauber, very worthwhile.

We enjoyed the Franconian cuisine which was in a homestyle and hence delicious. The pork with red cabbage was delicious. The service we received was top-notch.

Super nice, courteous service staff. All special requests have been taken into account. Price/performance ratio is right. Would love to come back.

We made a reservation today and wouldn't be disappointed! We ate knuckle and bread dumplings! Everything was very good

Can't understand the bad reviews. Friendly and fast service. Enjoy your meal. Prices not exaggerated. Everything is totally ok, especially when you consider that you are sitting DIRECTLY on the main square in Rothenburg. Gladly again at any time! Small addendum: Cash payment is currently only possible, although the card symbols are visible on the entrance door.

I can only agree with the bad restaurant reviews. The food is loveless, based on the motto "the stupid tourist only comes once"! My spaetzle tasted watery, the meat and sauce had no taste whatsoever. My son's sausages were also watery and the fried potatoes made you wonder whether they had even seen a pan. I always thought that anyone could fry fried potatoes and that the chef should perhaps take an instructive course. I heard afterwards from a Rothenburger that the local residents avoid this restaurant. A shame for this beautiful city, tourist rip-off. The next evening we went to the silver jug, where the food was excellent and even cheaper. I'm really willing to pay more for good food, but this restaurant has inflated prices for incredibly bad food. Absolutely not recommended!!!!!!!!!!

Not recommended. Terrible food, refrigerated and reheated. At least that was the impression it gave me. There are better alternatives.

I understand a lot and can understand a lot. Not this! Payment with card not possible because supposedly “no network” available at the moment. We had paid by card in the neighboring restaurant 10 minutes earlier. All the cards were also pictured on the door. The card reader was ready for use next to the cash register. Been online at the same time with mobile communications Telekom and o2. One could have at least been so honest and said that this was not welcome! So we moved on and had dinner somewhere else. PS: It's not a hotel, there are no rooms! (Also verbal request)

Good salads and delicious wine. The dishes are either not seasoned at all or very over-salted. Potato pancakes terrible. I don't recommend it.

I went there for dinner with a group on two consecutive days. Great team, excellent food - not cheap, but absolutely worth the price!

Here I ate the tastiest roast pork in my life and the service was unique..very dog-friendly.can only be recommended.Thank you dear Golden Lamm team.keep it up❤️

Delicious food, nothing to complain about!

We have been to the Goldener Lamm several times now and are still thrilled. The location in the middle of the old town could hardly be better. The service is always courteous and friendly and the food is always delicious. Last time I had the knuckle with dumplings and sauerkraut, while my wife had the pork fillet with the pepper cream sauce. We can only recommend both - we would love to come back!!!

We have never eaten such a bad roast pork that was riddled with fat. The red cabbage was sour like sauerkraut and the sauce was a mixture of water and fat without any spices

The pizza schnitzel was very good and the fries were also okay, but there was ketchup and mayonnaise in these small bags, which absolutely didn't fit the time and didn't seem necessary given the number of meals (one star deducted). Otherwise, the restaurant has a great atmosphere and the service was friendly and quick. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food, very nice and attentive staff. I definitely recommend this restaurant. However, you should reserve in advance.

Nice atmosphere, the service was always friendly to us and the food tasted great and never took long. Every visit to you has given us a wonderful evening on vacation, we would come back at any time! Thank you

Unfortunately, we didn't have a lot of choice in Rothenburg because some other restaurants were closed and had to go on vacation. The food was okay, not great. On our trip to Franconia and Bavaria we were able to try completely different things, sometimes even cheaper. The cordon bleu was nothing special and neither was the red cabbage/red cabbage with the roast pork. We were a little disappointed. It's a shame, it was supposed to be our farewell evening.

The location couldn't be better! The food was decent, the prices were rather high depending on the location. But the fact that we were served in English was more than strange. Where is the German-speaking staff? The atmosphere and service seemed rather cold.

A good restaurant.. Everything ok

Rip-off at its finest, 2 Aperol 0.2 l 18.80 euros. On 9/2/24, thank you Habeck.

The prices were salty (€4.9 for a measly cappuccino) and the cup was also unwashed because a lipstick mark was clearly visible on the edge of the cup. The cup itself had as much coffee in it as in a shot and the service was unfriendly. In general, the restaurant is not recommended.

We had lunch there and, looking back, would have preferred another restaurant. The food isn't spectacular, the sauce for the bread dumplings was really poorly seasoned and the mushrooms couldn't save it. The positive thing was that there wasn't a long wait, the service was friendly.

You can tell that it is a tourist restaurant, it is normal because it is a city full of tourism but that is extrapolated to the food, we ordered a snichtzel pizza and the truth is that it is not worth it at all for what it is worth, very expensive. The knuckle, according to a friend, is good.

Food was delicious. Nice ambience inside. Right in the city center. So super central. Priced well too.

Went there for dinner with the family. It was super quick and really tasty. The homemade spaetzle is my insider tip. The location right on the town hall square is also really great.

Wir waren spontan auf Kurzbesuch in Rothenburg und hatten das Lokal zum Abendessen ausgewählt. Das Cordon bleu war billige Tiefkühlkost und wurde uns auf Nachfrage als hausgemacht angepriesen. Auch die Bratkartoffeln die wir an stelle der Pommes Frittes bestellt hatten waren aus dem Convienience Regal. Für die Preise unzumutbar. Der Service war nett, das Ambiente auch. Daher noch befriedigend

We had a very good meal here during the Taubertal Festival

As a family of five, we were offered a table with four chairs and the solution to this would be for someone in the group to sit at the next table and eat there. After we declined the offer, the waitress mumbled rudely. Not recommended

Great!! Went here just to eat and were very pleasantly surprised. It was very busy, which was a good sign from the start and we weren't disappointed. The food was simply GREAT! The best Maultaschen and the best fries I've ever had and the so-called "Pizzaschnitzel" was an absolute culinary delight, something I'd never heard of before. The service is also really friendly!

A great location and very nice staff. But for almost 20 euros I imagine a CordonBleu to be a bit more appealing... The plate was as simple as you would get at a diner. The Leberkäse with egg and fried potatoes for around 14 euros was also very “manageable”... It was OK - but nothing more!

We probably had frozen potato pancakes from the deep fryer, tasteless dumplings with “cream sauce” and Leberkäs with fried potatoes. Small portions and taste like straight from the gas station. Definitely a restaurant where you won't find any locals.

We were looking forward to eat here but the lady serving tables was so rude with telling us to move the buggy and when we tried to move 10cm a table under the umbrella, she was not able to ask us in a polite way not to do so. We stand up and leave.

Food was okay. Selection of vegetarian main dishes quite small. Kind of expensive with at least 20€ for main dishes. We waited for 30min before we could order even though there were not many people and we had to search for a waiter and ask if we could order now. FYI You need to spend at least 20€ to pay by card.

Forgot our food never checked on us, waste of time. Plenty of other options.

The food was quite ok, nice staff. But needs some renovation.

We wanted to have a drink in the Goldener Lamm with 8 people at 9:05 p.m. and were very rudely turned away with the information that the curfew was at 10 p.m. There is no understanding at all since there were free tables and the drinks would have generated sales!

On a beautiful summer evening we were happy to be able to get a small table on the market square. But this was clearly the worst meal I've been served in years. Overcooked potatoes with overcooked vegetable mix with fried trout. Not only were all the dishes missing any spices, but the cook had also forgotten any salt. After I complained, I was simply answered that this was the style of cooking here. And salt and pepper shakers would be on the table. ABSOLUTE TOURIST FINE!!!

"Shabby" place... a wasp falls into my beer and they offer me to remove it or "pay" for a new one. What a pity ! Tourists who will not return. I do not recommend coming

great food and friendly service! I recommend!

Nice place with a good location and a good, rich and affordable menu. A bit late service when paying but mostly very good

Servisen var frånvarande och lyssnade inte till vad vi ville ha. Maten var lite bättre än en vägkrog. Läget är mycket bra och ligger i absoluta mitten vid kyrkan. Härligt att höra kyrkklockorna spela. Upplever att det är på denna plats det rör sig mest människor.

Nice location in the old town. The food was good, but nothing more. I would have liked a smile from the service or some kind of signal that you were welcome. Would I eat here again? No, I would look for an alternative.

At first we were not allowed to eat outside under the parasol because of the rain. Later we just wanted a beer but had to eat. Ordered food but after 45 minutes we were told that an error had occurred and they could not serve one dish, ordered again and waited 30 minutes for this one. Was promised coffee as compensation for the mess, they also performed this and forgot. When we finally had to pay, there was an error on the card terminal and I had to go and withdraw cash.

Nice personel. I've eaten better for this price.

Total scam! They advertise that they take cards but then say cash only when you try to use one to pay the bill which took an hour to come. Just paid a sixty five dollar service charge at an ATM machine. What the hell? Zero stars. Would NOT do business again.

Restaurant is like most in Europe, food takes a looong time. Nowhere is it stated they do not take cash.... Until you try to pay the bill. Just walked a mile and paid a service charge of $65 (!!!!!) to withdraw $250 and ngl I feel very scammed. Tell people upfront. I never would have eaten here, it is overpriced and generic but would have been acceptable if it hadn't been cold because i spent the last 20 minutes finding a working ATM. As it stands I wonder if they have a share in the local ATM monopoly. Never again.

Very good food! Would recommend.

We were here for dinner. The pork knuckles with sauerkraut and dumplings are simply perfect. Good portion and tasty.

My wife and I chose to visit this restaurant whilst staying in Rothenburg after reading good reviews and we weren't disappointed. We visited quite early, about 5pm and although many of the outside seating area s were full there was plenty of room to eat inside. We had a nice table by a window with views of the main square. Service was quick and efficient and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. They did speak English if needed. Food was well cooked and tasty as was the bier. Prices very reasonable given the location where you might have expected to pay a little more. We enjoyed our meals so much that we revisited two nights later. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

They say they only accept cash here haha.

Unfortunately we chose the wrong restaurant. We ordered the rump steak medium rare twice. Unfortunately it came as well done, so it was reminiscent of a minute steak that had been fried for 10 minutes. We kindly pointed out to the waitress that the food was not what was ordered. She then apologized briefly and at the same time she went forward. We were really polite when complaining about the food. Simply incomprehensible how one can ignore a guest like that. A pity!

Located directly on the market square. Delicious food and very friendly staff

We ate very well in this restaurant on the main square in Rothenberg - and as we had little time, we were grateful for the very fast service we received. I had a pork escalope cordon bleu with a very good side salad and my wife had a big salad with excellent beef - accompanied by very good beer and a tasty apple strudel for dessert. Very good value in our opinion.

Great location and friendly service. Roast pork was great and the schnitzel was good.

Very good location. Great service and delicious drinks. The food is not recommended. Everything seems to come out of the convection oven. Given the number of guests that are being transported through there, this probably cannot be done any other way.

Very good food with great service. The location is great. We would come back immediately

Great location, but the food wasn't great. Very touristy and not particularly fresh, the schnitzel wasn't homemade either. Relatively expensive, but you don't have that much choice on site.

The service was good and the location too. The food could be better for these prices. We celebrated my mom's 60th birthday there, the loin was very firm and didn't have much sauce, the schnitzels looked good. When we are in Rothenburg again we will go to another location

Delicious food with a nice outdoor area overlooking the market square. Service was great and quick. Gladly again ☺️

Came there to eat. Very exquisite. I had to order here too. It seems to me as if there are generally only small portions in Rothenburg's restaurants. We will be back. The atmosphere is very nice and everything is clean and well maintained. No dust on the shelves. Tables always wiped clean.

Very good service, the service is very attentive and quick. It almost doesn't get any better

Great service, very friendly staff, especially Gabriela. Outdoor dining in the sun on the market square

Very tasty food, friendly staff. Portions were okay. Price performance okay

We were told by our tour guide the pork knuckle was exceptional. Honestly, it’s overpriced for an OK meal. Nothing’s special.

There is a sign at the entrance of the store saying that credit cards can be used, but when I checked out, the staff told me that they could only pay in cash. When I pointed out that there was a credit card payment machine in the store, the staff didn't apologize and insisted that it was broken. I paid in cash because the restaurant was not open, but the atmosphere of the place was ruined. Also, when I was shown to a table after entering, the staff didn't pull the chair out of the table, but for some reason pushed it firmly towards the table. It's a shame because the food was good.

If you're in search of a dining experience that blends impeccable flavor with great value, look no further! One of the standout highlights from my recent visit was the mushroom cream sauce—it was literally delicious, transforming every dish it graced into a gourmet delight. Each menu item we tried was exceptional, striking the perfect balance between culinary craftsmanship and satisfying portions. Despite the menu prices hovering in the $20 range, the quality and quantity of food served justify every penny. This restaurant truly excels in delivering high-quality meals that delight the taste buds without draining the wallet. Whether you're a local foodie or just passing through, I highly recommend giving this place a try. The mushroom cream sauce alone is worth the visit, promising to elevate your dining experience to new heights!

We went out to eat in the middle of the week and were pleasantly surprised. Nice service, although there were only two tables occupied but you still felt comfortable. I had an onion roast and my partner had a vegetarian dish (see photos). The food came relatively quickly and was hot and tasty.

Delicious food and very friendly service, we felt completely at home. We ate pork loin with spaetzle, meatloaf with egg and fried potatoes, schnitzel with fried potatoes and a side salad.

I was there for dinner so I can't say anything about the quality of the hotel.

We were here for the second time on Sunday evening on the way back from South Tyrol and were once again served in an extremely honest, warm and friendly manner. The food was excellent, both in terms of quality and quantity, the hospitality was clearly genuine, the prices were very reasonable, and the location was great. Can only be recommended. No fake friendliness or tourist trickery, as is sometimes the case in the neighborhood. We would be happy to come back again on our next stays. Special praise to the two extremely nice waitresses.

Nice beer garden, good food, cold beer...friendly service and sunshine!

Super nice service, super delicious food!

Fast service. Schnitzel and Cordon Bleu, each with French fries, ok, but not a “taste experience”.
