Restaurant Goldenes Lamm in Rothenburg ob der Tauber

My family and I celebrated Christmas in Rothenburg and we had our wonderful Christmas feast at the Goldenes Lamm! This was one of the best decisions we ever made because this restaurant was the best in Rothenburg! We have been to this lovely town twice already and our meals at Goldenes Lamm have been the highlight each time. The staff are warm and welcoming, the ambience is on point and the food is absolutely delicious!! I had the steak done medium rare and I still dream of this mouth-watering meal often! The staff speak perfect English and they accommodated every single weird culinary request my family made. Words cannot express how excited I am to return!! Thank you so much for a wonderful Christmas <3

Fantastic place, charming city. First class hotel, cordial, nice and polite service. I recommend it :)

The location and service are good. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the food. We had sirloin with pepper sauce and bread dumplings with mushroom cream sauce. Both dishes very tasteless. Prices are also a bit higher and inappropriate for this quality. Unfortunately we cannot recommend it.

Very friendly service, fast service. Can only be recommended. The food and drinks were very tasty, would be happy again.

Had a nice beer. Don't have a small menu so less suitable for drinks, otherwise a nice place with lovely people 👍🏻

Best service with always a good mood!

Very tasty food and large enough portions. The service was very friendly, attentive and quick. We'll definitely be back!

Very nice staff, incredibly accommodating. 👍🏼👍🏼😁

Insanely delicious food. Rarely have we eaten such good home cooking and large portions. Service super friendly. At the end there was free schnapps and espresso. Any time

Even at a late hour there was still something to eat. Very quaint and good food. Take a look 😄

Very friendly staff. Our group called ahead to make sure they’re open and they were very friendly and welcoming. They even stayed open to accommodate us. Food was amazing. We had the pork shoulder, steak, and Fränkische Bratwürste Mit Sauerkraut Und Kartoffeln dish. Everything was very tasty and authentic. 10/10

The very best dumplings for roast pork.

Only cash is accepted. Long-distance international tourists may want to pay attention. After all, it is rare to bring cash when traveling in Europe. Of course, the service staff immediately informed the receptionist that only cash is accepted.

Very awesome location, very awesome conditions, very awesome drinks, very awesome food, very awesome ambience and very awesome atmosphere

Super nice attentive service Funny evening

Very good food and friendly service 😊

Very courteous service staff, delicious Franconian Schäufela and good Pilsner

Good food (roast pork) and delicious beer

The hostess was so nice and remained open for us and was so friendly and the food was amazing

Loved it! The food was great and the service was excellent. I had the pork knuckle and it was delicious.

Cozy restaurant, friendly and helpful staff. I noted my intolerances and the waitress was careful in showing me the dishes that I could eat without risk. The food was very tasty.

If I could give 6/5 stars, I would! Goldenes Lammes in Rothenburg is hands-down the best restaurant I’ve ever been to in Germany. I spent Christmas dinner here, and it was absolutely perfect. The roast beef was insanely good and the cheese pancakes were so creamy and well seasoned. They even let me switch out the spätzle for roast potatoes and gave me more fried onions when I asked for them with a huge smile on their face! The vibe is so cozy and rustic, and the staff were SO nice. They were so accomodating even when changed my reservation twice. The apple struedel with ice cream and whipped cream was absolutely delicious and divine - not too sweet or tarty! The portions for everything are huge, the prices are super reasonable, and honestly, I’d save up just to go back again. Lastly, they were open all day on Christmas, which was amazing because literally everywhere else was closed. And even after that, the place was still packed for a reason. If you’re ever in Rothenburg, you HAVE to go. Best meal, best vibes, best everything. 1000% recommend!!!

Delicious, friendly and cosy! Dogs allowed.

Nice service, rustically furnished.

Lentil soup and pancakes very good, we expected a little more from the service. Very cold and distracted.

We only went to this restaurant to eat. Therefore no rating of the rooms. The dinner was very good and plentiful. We are happy to recommend this restaurant!!

Very tasty food and beer😄 Kind staff and we allowed to dine with our dog☺️ Really good place, I recommend.

Beautiful, rustic inn in the center of town. Service was friendly and quick. Price/performance ratio for the food is right! Can be recommended.

The food was great, everyone was friendly and I was completely happy

DOGS NOT WELCOME! We've been here for dinner 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!

We ate there for the second time and it was absolutely delicious. We received great service and everyone was very polite. We'll definitely go back :)

We always end our visit to the Christmas market in Rothenburg in this beautiful restaurant. The portions are large and really tasty! Always my pleasure!

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 around. 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!

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!

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

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.👍😊🫶

Tastes very good, friendly staff. Only recommended :)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Nothing spectacular but good food and nice service

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!

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. 👎👎👎

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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.
