Service was very nice and friendly, but the food came a little too quickly for me, considering it was supposed to be “fresh”. And since it's not completely home-cooked, it's honestly too expensive.

Absolutely amazing restaurant with amazing food and beers. The bar is clearly frequented by locals and you will immediately know why once you taste their beers and snacks. I tried the red beer in their menu and I was pleasantly surprised by it so my advice is to go out of your comfort zone and try the more unique items on the menu, although you can stick with the delicious traditional options as well.

The prices are quite expensive by Nuremberg standards. The vegan schnitzel was tasty, but at most half the size of the other schnitzels, and the fries cost an extra €6, which, without any salad or anything else, brought the total to around €24. The other dishes were also not good value for money. The location is, of course, great, but you can get much cheaper in a similar setting in Nuremberg.

Can't understand the many positive reviews. Were there before 6 p.m., so the restaurant was pretty empty. Food arrived 2 minutes after ordering. Flädlesuppe lukewarm with almost mushy egg strips. Roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut was also only lukewarm. The sauce was thickened with so much starch... Potato and cucumber salad like the previous speaker was something from the bucket with a few slices of raw cucumber placed on top. It's a shame because the service and ambience were good. But food is not recommended. Oh yes, and two slices of bread as a side dish cost €2.90

The location on the first floor, after climbing a long and steep staircase, with a view of the main market, is great. The Franconian ambience is ok, the service is friendly and quick. You shouldn't be bothered by being called by your first name. I think the prices are overpriced! To put it mildly...

I found it quite tasty, but not for the price. I had the 9 sausages and as an extra "2 slices of farmer's bread". I think the bread cost 2.50 or even 3.50 and was really just 2 very normal slices of gray bread, I have no idea whether they were from the bakery, so to me it tasted like bread from the supermarket. The slices were also cold and came without butter or dip. Similar with the dessert: it cost between 7 and 8 euros (a kind of chocolate cake), it was quite small, it was actually quite tasty but the consistency wasn't spectacular either... and given the price/size I would have expected more. Positive: it's nice to sit there and the beer was really great. If you mainly want to drink and chat and then eat something not too heavy and you don't have to watch the penny, you can have a great evening there. But I'm also a tourist, so maybe the prices in Nuremberg are just like that.

For a Franconian inn, the Schäufala is absolutely terrible! Meat tough, 1/4 of the crust burnt and the rest is limp. Kniedla isn't even the size of a tangerine, but at least it's raw dumpling. Dark beer sauce was satisfactory, however. Back to the meat: Even the local clinic has better Schäufala. Drinks are also very expensive. However, service was nice and quick Food in itself is a disgrace for Nuremberg and Franconian cuisine

We ordered food to take home here. It was very tasty, but unfortunately way too expensive for what it was. The Cordon Bleu and the Schnitzel were relatively small for a German restaurant and cost significantly more than average. 24 euros for a small cordon bleu with a normal portion of fries is just too much. The delivery was great and went very quickly.

That was nothing Food of absolutely poor quality at very high prices. If I order a schnitzel at that price, I expect it to at least be prepared in the pan and not in the deep fryer. Very thin and simply dry in taste. I can go to a snack bar straight away. The portions are generally very small and the prices are really horrendous. For water in a 0.75 liter carafe without a line, I think 7.50 euros is very sporty. Also for the location it is simply too expensive for the quality. For a mini goose breast and two mini dumplings 34 euros phew and not particularly tasty either. Once and never again, absolutely not recommended.

The restaurant is very well located in the city and is cozy. Unfortunately there was only a small menu. Two of these dishes were not available at New Year's Day. We had to wait a very long time for the food even though it wasn't full. The dish we had, Schäufele with dumplings, is not recommended. The meat has a flaky rind like pork knuckle and is far too fatty. The meal for almost €24 is far too expensive. We also told the waitress this and only received an apology and they knew that this was not okay. It stayed that way 😠.

unfortunately not recommended! The service is really bad, the waitress is unfriendly and inexperienced. After 40 minutes we were told there was no schnitzel and that became apparent after over 40 minutes. From that point on we had to wait again for over half an hour. When the food finally came, one dish came after another and everyone ate alone. Drinks were already empty and it was also very cold in the restaurant. The food was ok, nothing special and unseasoned. Everything tasted like it had just been warmed up.

Das Restaurant liegt sehr gut in der City und ist gemütlich. Es gab leider nur eine kleine Speisekarte. Zu Neujahr standen davon zwei Gerichte nicht zur Verfügung. Das Essen was wir hatten, Schäufele mit Klößen, ist nicht zu empfehlen. Das Fleisch hat eine lapprige Schwarte wie beim Eisbein und ist viel zu fett. Das Essen für fast 24€ ist dafür viel zu teuer. Dies hatten wir der Bedienung auch mitgeteilt und bekamen nur eine Entschuldigung und man wisse, dass dies nicht in Ordnung ist. Dabei blieb es 😠.

I want to share my unpleasant experience in this restaurant. After they seated us at a table, we had to get and look at the menus ourselves, even though there were no more than 7-8 occupied tables in the restaurant, which were already served. There were two waiters, the younger one came first, but after we were not ready with the order, the older one with a mustache came next. I ordered two beers, the largest number of sausages and we wanted rosschi, but he put his hand on the menu and said he didn't have any. He offered us fries and we agreed. I repeated the order to him at the end and he nodded and said yes, ok. The sausages and beer came quickly, most likely they were baked in advance, because it didn't look like they were freshly baked. Other customers came with whom we ordered together and they were already finishing their dinner when I told the waiters that I had forgotten fries that were gone. The waiter with the mustache, first said that we didn't order, which was a lie, and then asked if we wanted fries that would come in three minutes. I said no. Then he started apologizing, which was the right thing to do at the very beginning, not to lie. Finally, when I asked for the bill, he wanted to give us drinks, which we also refused. BE VERY CAREFUL in this restaurant, if they lie about such a small thing, imagine what happens in even more serious situations

We went to Mich The Greek for dinner based on the good Google reviews and were not disappointed. The restaurant was not very busy. Very friendly and fast service. The menu has a limited selection, but is absolutely sufficient. Only rice as a side dish would be a desired option. The food came quickly. The portion was large and completely sufficient. The chicken gyro was incredibly tender and flavorful. The calamari and fries were also delicious. Great value for money. For the dish with salad and a drink just under €20 is completely okay. The only minor flaw is that the restaurant feels a bit like a "snack bar". I would have expected a more cozy atmosphere at a Greek restaurant.

Here you can simply eat and have a good time with friends. The food selection is small, but you won't go hungry. The main focus here is on booze: they make their own signature beers and other spirits! The waiters are attentive and welcoming!

I ordered quattro formaggi, it wasn't penne but rigatoni - it still tasted very tasty! One star deducted because unfortunately my salad dressing was missing, but that can be lost :).
