Restaurant Mühlen-Bach in Schleswig

We were at Mühlenbach yesterday. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The salad dressing was watered down, as if it had been slightly diluted. We had two of the gypsy skewers. They were tasty, but: I didn't want fries, preferring a baked potato. This also took away the rice from the plate. I found the meat bland. My husband's steak had a thick tendon, and mine also had two smaller tendons. The baked potato didn't have much flavor. We waited in vain for a "distributor" afterward. I know, though, that they usually offer them... maybe only for certain guests 🤷 We've been to this restaurant several times and aren't used to such mediocre quality. What a shame....

We were there on July 7, 2025. First of all, the atmosphere was nice, even if it was a bit loud. And the female waitress was very friendly! However, I was very unpleasantly surprised when I was served the hot fried plaice on melamine dishes. Of course, it wasn't the waitress's fault. The salad, meanwhile, was served on a porcelain plate. Using such plastic dishes is completely unacceptable for a restaurant!!! 😠 When you're paying mid-€20 for a meal, you don't want to eat from plastic/plastic dishes. Since I was hungry and tired, I reacted incorrectly in the situation. I didn't complain. Somehow, I didn't like the dish very much, probably because I already suspected from touching the material that it was melamine and I knew about the health risks. I then discovered at the vacation home that it was a melamine plate because, after eating, I photographed the manufacturer "Qsquared" on the underside of the plate and did some research. It turns out that this American company sells melamine catering tableware... To the OWNER or operator: In case you don't already know: Melamine is hazardous to health. The consumer protection agency advises against it: They sometimes write that melamine and formaldehyde have shown harmful effects in animal studies. Improper handling, such as placing dishes at temperatures over 70°C on such tableware, can cause formaldehyde and melamine to migrate into the food! Household items containing melamine should only be exposed to temperatures up to 70°C. Hot liquids like coffee or soup should also not come into contact with them. I can very well imagine that I ingested the substances, because you can't expect a cook to measure the dish with a thermometer until it reaches 69°C.

The food is very good. The ambiance is pleasant. Unfortunately, we weren't asked if we wanted anything else after our meal. But I can live with that.

The restaurant is very nice and cozy. You'll want to stay seated. Unfortunately, after our first drink, we weren't asked if we wanted anything else. The food, however, was excellent, and the waiters were all very friendly.

I can only recommend it. Everything was perfect.

Great food, can only be recommended.

A very pleasant restaurant. The service is attentive and friendly. The food has been very good on every visit.

Four of us dined at this lovely restaurant in Schleswig's old town. We enjoyed a cozy atmosphere and very good, delicious food. The grilled liver is highly recommended, and the rump steak was cooked to perfection. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

We have finished our holiday here in Schleswig today, we spent a great evening in the restaurant, the young waiter has that certain something that makes good staff, we can only recommend the restaurant

Our review would be better if the lady who served us had been a bit friendlier and didn't have that aura and demeanor that resembled a lieutenant. A little smile, even if it's difficult, goes a long way toward making a good impression on guests. The food was very, very delicious 👍 Kudos to the kitchen. The Schlei flounder and Mattjes (shrimp) with fried potatoes are highly recommended. We'd be happy to come back.

We went there for dinner last night (made a last-minute reservation by phone in the afternoon) and it was absolutely delicious! A lovely atmosphere inside, very friendly service, and incredibly delicious food 😋😋😋 We highly recommend it!

We decided at short notice to eat here. As a result, we didn't have a reservation! The unfriendly waitress simply said "outside," which meant that the only available seats were outside. We left because that's a polite way to say something like that!

Yes, a very good restaurant with delicious food. Totally acceptable value for money.

It was simply amazing. Great service, amazing food, no waiting time, a top-notch restaurant. I can only recommend it to everyone.

An absolute stroke of luck! We spontaneously stopped by Mühlen-Bach in Schleswig yesterday and just barely managed to get a seat – that speaks volumes! The service was consistently friendly, attentive, and quick. The food was simply outstanding – especially the meat, which was cooked to perfection. The price was absolutely fair, too, especially considering the quality and portion size. All in all, a successful evening – we'll definitely be back!

I just came back from the restaurant. The meal was plentiful and delicious. One member of my group didn't like the peppercorn sauce. When I asked the staff if everything was okay, the peppercorn steak said the sauce wasn't right. The waitresses should attend a seminar where they learn about friendliness and communication. If not, they should save themselves the trouble of asking if everything was okay! Regards Reinhold

Simply fantastic, there's nothing more to say. Very good food, a dream in terms of taste. Good value for money too. Tastefully decorated restaurant. Highly recommended!

The people were super nice and the food was great. 👍

Price and performance simply fit

Always delicious. Great meat, perfectly prepared. Extremely friendly and attentive service.

The two of us were turned away in a very rude manner, with no indication of whether we could simply come back in an hour, for example. There were still tables available, including a few that didn't have "reserved" signs.

We had truly delicious Schlei flounder (I would have served it the other way around, white side up) with perfectly cooked fried potatoes at an unbeatable lunch price. The regular price was also reasonable! The waiters—we had several of them—were friendly, seemed a bit overworked, but were still attentive. We'd love to come back!

Wow, I don't often give full marks, but this restaurant is fantastic. The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the prices are really reasonable. Highly recommended.

I spontaneously went there with four people and was absolutely thrilled! We'd love to come back! Highly recommended 🥳😋 Best regards

Very nice restaurant with very good food.

Delicious sauerkraut and salad with turkey breast for lunch. Very fair prices, very generous portions. Shortly before 1:00, all the tables were occupied.

Very tasty, but since I like sauces, it was unfortunately too little for such a large schnitzel. Otherwise, everything was perfect, even a spot was free.

The food wasn't what we were used to. The pepper skewer for €24 was far too one-sided. Meat and croquettes or hash browns—you're sick of eating. The turkey steak was OK. The broccoli was too firm for my taste, and there wasn't enough hollandaise sauce. We're considering eating there again. We actually liked eating there before the change of ownership.

We had a grilled platter. It was very good value for money, but unfortunately the fries were hard. The atmosphere was very friendly and pleasant. It's nice to sit outside and listen to the brook.

The taste was delicious and the price was completely reasonable. I had the pork medallions, which could have done with a shorter heat. The young waitress was super nice. A lady from the waitressing room should take a leaf out of his book. The chairs at our table were worn out. I was afraid to lean on them because the chair legs would move—not an isolated incident. Unfortunately, the drinks supply was completely off today.

The food was very tasty and the atmosphere was nice. We were served by a very nice and friendly young man and a lady who could have learned a little from the young man.

The food was good, the service poor. We weren't even greeted when we went outside. Two women served us, one of whom was extremely grumpy, apparently a stranger. They didn't even ask if everything was okay, and we couldn't order the obligatory coffee after our meal because no one came after the main course. For the same reason, we had to go inside to pay ourselves—we've had much better experiences in Schleswig.

Very tasty, great menu, reasonably priced, and friendly service, perfect. I went again, still delicious, the staff attentive and friendly. Enjoyed the evening in a pleasant atmosphere 👍

Mühlenbach is always worth a visit, whether for lunch or dinner. The selection of food and drinks is extensive, and the quality of the ingredients and the loving preparation are particularly noteworthy. The meat and fish are cooked to perfection, and the vegetables, side dishes, and salad are all perfect. The service is simply fantastic, prompt, genuinely friendly, and the value for money is absolutely top-notch. Keep up the good work! We'll be happy to come back. THANK YOU!

Nice restaurant with delicious food and good value for money. Friendly staff and clean restrooms. (Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the food.)

Grillteller and snitzel ala balkan tasted ok, but it looked incredibly boring on the plate. It seemed like it was all bought ready-made in the local supermarket. It didn't taste bad, but it was definitely not homemade.

Great steak, friendly service, noisy atmosphere, but the restaurant was also busy – it was a Friday evening. No chance without a reservation. Highly recommended!

Delicious food and cozy place. Not 5, as we waited 30 min for drinks and 50 min for food.

Delicious food, good price 👍, friendly staff

Great steaks, exceptional service, and a dreamy ambiance. Unfortunately, I can only give it 5 stars.

Is highly recommended, the food was great, a little plate garnish would be nice (the eye also eats) Dogs are welcome👍so far so good

We held our 50th class reunion here. It was the perfect setting for this event.

We were there once for lunch. A great fish platter in what is more of a steak house, that's saying something.

Were there for dinner, Everything was great, the grill plate was very tasty and the service was also super nice and the location is super nice and rustic 👍😉

More unpleasant Reception. Waitress can hardly speak German and is very unfriendly. Don't even know what the memory card says. Plate for two miserable. Doesn't have to happen again.

The waiter was so nice and the food was delicious and the time was so fast. It was an amazing experience I recommend this 100%

Always a good decision! I recommend the "funny Bosniak". Many thanks to the team, we'll be back! Update April 7, 2025 Lunch with my daughter... As always, very tasty and recommended!

We had lunch. Delicious. Price-performance ratio is right. It was very well attended. We were served in a friendly and attentive manner. Gladly again!

Nice place on the city centre walkaway. Arrived one hour before closing time. Service wasn't pleasant, to say the least. We were pressed to decide yet didn't receive a clear explanation on the options, although it was clear we are turist who doesn't speak German. Ordered onion and tomato soup that were good. Ordered 3 steaks plate medium rare that came medium well. When we wanted to order dessert, we were told the kitchen was closed. I would expect the weiter to ask us in advance if we wish for desert before closing the kitchen. Guess it all could have been different if the service was better

We really enjoy eating there. Service always nice and friendly.

The entrance is inconspicuous in a side street. You come in and immediately feel at home... very nicely decorated. The waitress was very friendly... there was a lot to do but they always walked around with a smile.

Very loud and the waitress seemed to prefer flirting with an acquaintance and being on her cell phone rather than doing her job with commitment. Another had put on a very pungent perfume. Although the cook wore gloves, he also touched the telephone and waiter's wallet with them. Well, it has lost its charm, and the food was more okay than good.

It was much better in Mühlenbach. Today we were there for lunch (Sunday), a fillet steak was ok and then a completely burnt potato, after complaining another burnt potato arrived. You couldn't eat it because it also tasted burnt. So I can no longer recommend the restaurant. I prepare the food at home much more lovingly. Price-performance is very poor and too expensive.

I've been to Mühlenbach several times. However, it's been 5-10 years. At that time we were super happy with the food. Everything really tasted very good. Service was always great. The only thing I could have complained about was the temperature in winter. Now my girlfriend invited me to dinner on a Thursday. We went to Mühlenbach. - Pepper steak with fries - Children's meal steak with croquettes - Cordon Bleu with fries - Rump steak with baked potato I had pepper steak there. The steak was well cooked. Medium, as I ordered. But I didn't like the sauce at all. Not even a salad first. Steak and fries served very carelessly. The children's meal with the steak was too small. My 12 year old son wasn't fed. No indication of weight in the menu. The croquettes could have been swimming in the deep fryer for 2 minutes less. A large plate, steak and croquettes carelessly arranged. The cordon bleu was probably in the deep fryer too. A little too long. Taste OK. But the whole thing was also done very carelessly. My girlfriend liked the rump steak. Even if there was no salad and the plate was simply too big for the amount of meat and potatoes. We had a large Cola Zero, 2 small Kiba, 1 large OJ and a non-alcoholic wheat beer. The bill was just under 110 euros. I will no longer go to Mühlenbach in the future. For the price you can get better quality elsewhere. It's a shame, it used to be really good there. In terms of quality, a huge difference to today.

Was there for the first time and found the food and service great!

They're still trying to find a hiss for you somehow! I personally think the food is very good! The ambience is always very loud because it's always full... But there's always something going on. No, everything is fine here!

Saturday evening. You are greeted by a waiter in a faded, baggy T-shirt. Then you sit down on sagging chairs, not very comfortable. The decor is otherwise comfortable. The order was taken quickly and the food came very quickly. I had a carelessly prepared gypsy skewer, see photo, which tasted okay but nothing special. My wife ordered the liver. She came to the table burnt black. We complained and were given a new portion. This time they were all small, wafer-thin pieces, completely covered in tendons, inedible. The fries were soggy. My wife had lost her appetite. Your menu has not been calculated. The store was completely booked. I don't know why, I eat better at home, I don't have to go to the restaurant.

Very friendly staff. The food tasted very good. Price/performance fits perfectly. Gladly again. It's worth the visit.

So far I've mainly gone there for lunch. I really like the ketchup bottles on the table, as they should!

Duck breast in salt crust. Super tasty. Every year again.

Yep, it was good... Get a place for two at short notice. Nice service, the young man was really cute. Food was good. Drinks were good. The rum was good. We'd love to come back! Toilets are clean and tidy. In the picture: Filled rump steak with cheese and ham, Croquettes, broccoli with hollandaise sauce

No, I can't recommend the restaurant. We, a small group of friends of 10 people, wanted to go there on December 14th. celebrate Christmas. I had made a reservation for us 6 weeks in advance. It should be a location in the next room. 3 weeks later personally agreed again. No objections. The agreement remained. 2 days before the appointment. Confirmed again by phone. Then the day came and, contrary to what had been agreed, we were deported to the middle of the restaurant. Opposite the front door where it was drafty and cold. The agreement was not kept. We were owed an explanation! We will all avoid this place in the future. You can't avoid guests like that.

Unfortunately no flexibility with the staff. It was not possible to swap a table even though there were no guests there yet. I didn't feel welcome at all either. Very unfortunate.

I was in Mühlenbach yesterday. 5 stars in all areas! Although the restaurant was very busy, with several large parties (Christmas parties), the dishes we ordered were very, very good. The steaks were cooked to perfection and all the sides were hot. Conditions were very attentive despite having their hands full. We'd love to come back!

Good experiences, very nice staff and always smiled at

We really enjoyed it, the service was very attentive and the food was great! Gladly again

Had a really good lunch here. Tried a mincemeat "beef" that was absolutely fabulous. Filled with cheese and served with a rice/vegetable mix and fries we were more than satisfied. Staff were observant and fast and the price was reasonable to say the least. Well done!

There is plenty of delicious food here. You just notice the stress on the staff. Nevertheless, a highly recommended restaurant.

This restaurant has been offering excellent quality for many years. Very good selection at fair prices and a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere as soon as you enter the restaurant.

Ordered lunch to go from the Mühlen-Bach restaurant for the first time today and I have to say? You convinced me very much. Very good portion, very tasty and seasoned appropriately. Rarely eaten so well outside. In addition: Very friendly and, above all, smiling staff!

Easily accessible by wheelchair. Toilets too narrow for wheelchairs.

The price-performance ratio is very good! Reservation strongly recommended!

Always delicious, nice ambience and service-oriented service. Edit November 7, 2024 The portions have become smaller and for the second time the food was only lukewarm. The young waitress yesterday may have been too inexperienced, so it came across as very arrogant.

We had dinner here with the family at the weekend. The food itself was very good and the steak in particular was one of the best I have ever eaten. But unfortunately the side dishes are so sparse that you won't feel full. The “Funny Bosnian” for just under 25 euros came with 4 croquettes and the pepper steak for 25 euros also included a homeopathic amount of fries. It's a real shame, it significantly spoils the absolutely positive overall impression. The service was error-free and OK, but a bit grumpy and not exactly friendly.

Very tasty and good selection. Be sure to reserve a table!

We went to Mühlenbach for dinner today and absolutely loved it. Very tasty food, rib eye steak fried to perfection - my "funny Bosnian" (beef cordon bleu) also very tender, fries crispy and salads fresh and tasty - very good sauce! Service quick and very friendly! All in all, an absolutely harmonious and beautiful evening! We are on vacation here until the end of the week and will definitely come back a second time!

Nice staff in a great restaurant and delicious food.

Disaster! I went there with a date, the food was okay but nothing special. But the service was an absolute disaster. Unfriendly to no end and after eating we were increasingly pressured to leave the restaurant, even though there were other guests in the restaurant. So the plates were simply taken away, and shortly afterwards the glasses, one of which was still 1/3 full. Then suddenly the bill was brought without asking. Something like that is absolutely not appropriate and we definitely won't be coming back.

Delicious lunch with a very good price/performance ratio. The service was a bit bitchy at the beginning but it was the same at the end of the lunch time. Technically the service was impeccable

Very nice restaurant and very well priced. Great ambience, large enough portions that are also very delicious. This is definitely a tip for everyone who likes to eat meat and likes Croatian/Balkan cuisine.

Two stars deducted because you obviously can't stick to your own opening times posted on the door and on the internet and we didn't get an espresso or dessert after our meal at 8:38 p.m., even though it wasn't supposed to close until 9:30 p.m.! At around 8 p.m. half of the restaurant (winter garden) was closed and the lights were turned off, which became very uncomfortable. If you can't rely on opening times without having to compromise on quality and comfort, we'd rather go to another restaurant in the evening. The food was normally good and roughly met normal expectations.

Clean, friendly, inexpensive! !!

Great food, great atmosphere great service

Today, after a long time, we had lunch at Mühlenbach again. The food wasn't bad. My wife and our friend had a Balkan style schnitzel. They used to say gypsy schnitzel. My friend and I had the grill plate with fries. So far so good. The sauce for the schnitzel was more than clear. About 2 tablespoons. When we asked if we could get some more sauce, we got it. For the fries I asked for ketchup and mayo. Also received. Now let's get to the payment. The sauce for the schnitzel was €3.50 and the ketchup and mayo were €0.50 each. That's what I call sporty or, in German, a pure rip-off. We were not informed that you had to pay extra for sauce and ketchup and mayo. A little tip for the restaurateur: you could also take money for the seat. But then please leave a notice on the door that the guest is being ripped off here. It used to be great, but not again today. I'm curious to see whether the operator will respond to my review here. My tip to everyone: There are more honest and better restaurants in our Schleswig.

Top recommendation. . The steak plate was delicious, the meat was cooked to perfection. Be sure to reserve as it is very busy.

We ate very well here, everything was perfect and delicious

We were warmly welcomed. The food was very tasty. And the service is friendly.

It's been a long time since we've spontaneously eaten at Mühlenbach again. After the initial joy that we spontaneously got a table, the disappointment began with the second service person. She was very lacking in empathy, took the order annoyed, without making eye contact with the customer and left very quickly. True to the motto, the customers are annoying and if I leave quickly, then they won't bother me. A lady like that doesn't belong in the service, sorry Then came the food, a starter of baked soft cheese and salad. Everything okay. There was also a salad with my grill plate, in response to my comments that I had already had one, the "nice" service person said that salad is healthy, the salad was put on the table and it was gone again. The rice on my grill plate, which I was so looking forward to, tasted so artificially artificial that you inevitably had the feeling that you were eating a finished product. Very bad. The meat and fries were okay. My partner had the pork medallions with broccoli and fries. Fries okay, broccoli watery and one of the medallions not cooked properly. In short, it was a disappointment, when our "nice" waitress came to clear away and asked if everything was tasty, we explained our displeasure to her, she just looked, didn't comment on what we said, she turned around without a word and disappeared like the others Sometimes too, again very quickly. The other colleague came over to pay. Conclusion from us: The Mühlenbach has clearly deteriorated in quality, both in the kitchen and in the service. You're no longer on our agenda, which is a shame.

Unfortunately the sea bream was dry. The rest of the food was very good

The food was good. Service was a bit slow. And it wasn't really clean either.

Without babbling much. The food is super awesome.

Unfortunately the sauce was "tipped". In this weather that can happen quickly. Service was good. And I didn't have to pay for my food. It's all ok.

Price-performance was simply poor, perhaps it is due to the austerity measures that were announced to us on site.

Delicious food, fast service, super accommodating in the rain despite being outside, immediately got a seat inside, easy to recommend, would give 10 stars

Absolute recommendation! 10 stars in all categories 🌟 The service is absolutely friendly! Always a smile and no rush despite the full house. Price/performance fair. Wide range of offerings, extensive lunch menu, stylish rooms, the food came quickly and was a blast!! It's been a long time since I've eaten something so tasty. Thanks for that. Oh, there are minus points. Unfortunately you are 600 km too far away from us. I can't accept that. 😣

Nice service, good food, Chic restaurant

We are completely satisfied. Even children are welcome. We would like to come again.

It's always nice there, I've been coming there for a few years now.

Well-run restaurant with affordable lunch!

Correction: Unfortunately, the food has become significantly worse and less. Broccoli wasn't cooked through, chicken was dry and the rump steak was raw. All in all, unfortunately disappointed. New operation seems unmotivated. Always tastes very good, pleasant atmosphere and top food. Mühlenbach pan/skewer but also dishes like the stuffed minced steak are super delicious! We can only recommend it and go there regularly.
