Restaurant Schlotfeger in Erlangen

It gets quite loud as the evening progresses, but the food and service are great.

It's been better! On a previous visit, I tried my husband's fried potatoes, and they were really crispy and flavorful. On Saturday, I ordered the fried potatoes for that reason, but unfortunately, they were completely soft and oily.

Oh man, I didn't think it was quite as good as I remembered. We were three adults, two teenagers aged 14 and 17, and the birthday girl was 11. One person had a steak; she was quite happy with the "perfectly cooked meat." The soups, Hokkaido and wild garlic, each with whipped cream, were good as expected. We vegetarians: two adults and two teenagers, were rather disappointed: we agreed that the snacks were of a good standard. Fried potatoes cooked in the deep fryer, deep-fried vegetable schnitzel, deep-fried turkey steak, and shredded salad, just like we'd expect from a very good kebab shop. The same was true of the deep-fried avocado, which we weren't expecting with a bill of €183 plus tip, which totaled €200 for us. The service was friendly and engaging, the ambiance was bright and crisp, but a bit too loud for our liking. The restrooms were spotlessly clean. I think it's perfect for steak lovers and long-time fans of the Schlotfeger. Unfortunately, it won't be suitable for our group anymore. My wish for the next visit: less frying, more cooking in the pan. Another point that led to the overall 3 stars: our clothes smell strongly of the food. Our jackets are now hanging on the balcony to air out.

Excellent chef caters to allergy requests and makes a special sauce 🫶👌👏👏 Super friendly service 👌👌 Excellent value for money Here, a craft is still done with heart ❤️ Excellent meat 👏👏 I strongly recommend anyone coming to Erlangen to reserve a table 👌

We went there for steak and gabas at Easter. We sat outside. It was very good. Good quality, very friendly staff, and reasonable prices. We're already looking forward to our next time ❤️

Super delicious food and perfect service! We love coming here! :)

Highly recommended, I'd go back anytime. The steaks are simply delicious. The service is very attentive and friendly.

The best steaks. And moderate prices.

Incredibly good food. Service was super friendly and polite. We'll be back 😊

If you want a good steak, this is the place! Plus, Franconian beer. I love coming here every time! Top-notch service!

We have been guests for many years...very good food. Very friendly staff and the ambiance is also acceptable.

Top quality. Very tasty. Would order again.

The best steak I have ever had. Will 100% revisit if I am back in Erlangen

The Schlotfeger in Erlangen is a solid steak restaurant in the upper price segment. The meat quality is very good – you can taste the attention paid to high-quality products. My steak was cooked to perfection, and the side dishes were also perfectly prepared. The atmosphere is stylish, modern, yet pleasantly relaxed. The service was friendly and professional, without being intrusive. The restaurant's prices are a bit higher, but this is in keeping with the quality offered and the overall concept. For a special evening or a good meal with a focus on meat, the Schlotfeger is definitely a good choice. As a foodie with a passion for cooking, I'd be happy to return for something special.

The meat dishes are highly recommended. You can choose the size of the piece yourself, and the desired degree of doneness is perfectly achieved on the charcoal grill.

We ate there again on July 29, 2025 (6 adults, 1 child). It was fantastic again. All the steaks were cooked to perfection. The flavors are simply amazing. The side dishes were also top-notch. I can't think of any better garlic bread. The young female server was very polite, courteous, and really on the ball. Special requests were no problem at all. We've never been disappointed in years, and the prices are really fair! Keep it up!

Great restaurant with truly delicious steaks. Precisely cooked to your desired doneness, delicious side dishes, and great sauces. The staff is also on the ball and caters to all your needs. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great service. A host who knows his craft. Please keep it up! We'll be back.

The quality of the steaks is very good, but the preparation is lacking. None of our steaks were cooked to the desired degree, and if you order medium-well but receive the steak rare, it's not just a close call. Unfortunately, the side dishes are a bit of a disappointment. I'd say the vegetables and fries are more like frozen food.

An absolutely fantastic team! The food was outstanding. We had a total of eight different dishes, and all of them were top-notch. We'll definitely be back.

The quality of the food has declined significantly. I used to enjoy going there. The first time, the steak was almost cooked, even though we ordered it medium-rare, and the second time, it was cold. I wouldn't go back.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 "An unforgettable evening at the bachelorette party!" We spontaneously celebrated our bachelorette party there – without a booked room, just with a table reservation – and received a very warm welcome. Since it wasn't busy, we were even allowed to use the back area, which could be locked – totally relaxed and private. The team was incredibly friendly, helped us take photos, and was always there to help. Food, drinks, service – everything was top-notch! Thank you so much for this wonderful evening! 🙌

We've been here several times, and it's always incredibly delicious! Everything, from the side dish to the main course!

I've been a regular customer here for 19 years; it's always a dream. I recommend it to anyone who loves steaks.

Delicious food and customer-friendly service. Meat tender, vegetables fresh and potatoes nicely fried with bacon.

Unfortunately I'm not thrilled, my medium steak was tough and well done, the fried potatoes were obviously fried and therefore too hard.

Very nice restaurant with great staff. Meat is very good. Unfortunately, side dishes are a mix of fresh and convenience. Fried potatoes from a bag really don't work at all.

The inside looks a bit old-fashioned, what you can also see is the open grill. The menu is huge, tons of steaks, side dishes, and sauces (!?!). The steaks are amazing, the side dishes are also great.

Very good steaks cooked to perfection with plenty of side dishes, even vegetarians don't miss out. The service is friendly and on point. The prices are reasonable. Gladly again at any time😊

Best steak restaurant! We always enjoy eating here as a family because our two children also really enjoy it here. We are always warmly welcomed. Thanks to the entire Schlotfeger team ❤️

Actually everything was great. Only the ambience in the back room is a bit sober.

Unfortunately, our visit yesterday was not a good one! First we noticed that a grill plate for 2 people was on the menu for €80. The same grill plate for ONE person was listed on the same menu as €29.90. Of course we chose two grill plates for ONE person each (saved €20), which the service took up more or less willy nilly... The porcini mushroom cream soup we ordered in advance was OK, but then things went downhill rapidly: the meat on the grill was good, but the side dishes (peas, carrots and corn were warmed up from a can, and the "fried potatoes" were from the deep fryer (which the host also admitted!) so they were more or less inedible... When we complained about this to the landlord when paying, he was very pissed off and basically assumed that we had no idea - customer acquisition works differently! Conclusion: Not recommended, which is also reflected in the reaction of the waitress and boss: zero ability to criticize, zero goodwill, zero customer orientation!

Great restaurant, it was delicious. We were very satisfied and would gladly come back. Highly recommended!

Great grilled steaks, fair prices, large salad buffet. Excellently prepared. Very attentive, friendly and courteous service. Delicious desserts. Absolutely recommended. The best address for steaks in Erlangen.

The food was unforgettably good. The meat melted in your mouth; it was a veritable explosion of flavor. The fried potatoes were just what you'd imagine. The vanilla ice cream with hot raspberries was amazing. Full stars from me. I'd go back anytime. I absolutely recommend it. If you want good food, go to Schlotfeger. The only downside: we unfortunately had to wait 45 minutes for the food. But that won't stop me from coming back anytime.

Incredibly good food. But pub feeling 🤷‍♂️

Very nice staff, not a long wait for the food.

In terms of food, it was really very tasty. Price performance for the sauces wasn't quite as good. The side dishes were plentiful and tasty. Service was friendly and easy to understand. Ambience was simple and neutral

It was too narrow and too loud. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that great. Stringy meat and flavorful sauces.

The best steak we’ve ever eaten! Loved it. The service is very friendly and polite. 😄

When it comes to meat and steak, Schlotfeger is my absolute favorite restaurant in Erlangen. I've only eaten my steak here for a long time and I always leave the shop with a smile. The service is top, as is the quality. I can only recommend it to everyone. The insider tip is the garlic bread as a starter!

Very good steaks, good service. Price ok. I can only repeat myself

So I was there I took the fillet steak! That was really really good! The best steak I've had so far. The ambience is a bit old, but that didn't bother me at all. All in all a very good restaurant! 5 stars!

Steaks on point and a great team!

The food was warm and delicious.

I enjoyed here maybe the best steak I ever had. Plus, the restaurant managed to serve our group of about 30 almost perfectly at the same time. Respect!

Five stars in all aspects!!! Delicious food and great service!!! Strongly recommended if you’re in Erlangen, looking for a good steak restaurant!!!

Nice staff and very tasty food. 😋

I would prefer 0!! give STARS. It simply has absolutely nothing to do with the old chimney sweep anymore. We were first greeted by a cloud of smoke from the waitress, who had been smoking right in front of the entrance door. Sometimes the meat wasn't as ordered at all, regardless of whether you ordered medium or rare. Apart from the baked potatoes, the side dishes were all ready-made products and tasted accordingly. The service is terrible and seems like there isn't much experience in the catering industry. You have to point out that the glasses are empty, things that were ordered were forgotten and in general it just seemed listless. Accordingly, I decided not to tip if the amount was over 400. We just weren't completely satisfied. We have been regular customers for over 20 years and are really deeply disappointed that it no longer has anything to do with the chimney sweep from before. The ambience has changed towards a train station pub, unfortunately. Luckily there is an alternative in Erlangen at Lorleberg Platz - this will be our new regular restaurant 🤪🥰

Incredibly delicious food, high-quality meat fried to perfection, prices high but reasonable.

Whenever we are there it is so delicious :) worth it

Top service top quality will definitely come back

Great steak for me one of the best in the world !! And it is always worth to place a repetition for those in the area. There will be people say there are better And you could be right. And than not for the most of common people. This is the place to be for more than a decade to me almost two

The meat was really ideally grilled.

We were there for the first time. Overall OK. Unfortunately it was in Locally a bit fresh. The food overall was also OK. The meat was very well seasoned. Unfortunately, the food was cold within a short time, side dishes (there were several of us) came before the main courses, which of course led to it cooling down more quickly. In addition, one of the waiters was a bit sweaty, which did not particularly lead to olfactory euphoria.

Good basic steak restaurant. Always a good choice.

Perfect for eating steak. The prices were moderate. The service was great and we had a lovely evening. Easily accessible on foot in downtown Erlangen

Everything tip top. The steak was perfect, the garlic baguette was great and the crepe with vanilla ice cream was also great. The price is also completely reasonable.

Everything was a pleasure, especially the pumpkin soup, the service was very friendly and accommodating, a wonderful evening, would be happy again.

Steak and fried potatoes super delicious. Unfortunately, the service and the ambience have deteriorated somewhat in recent years

Nice steak restaurant. Unfortunately quite loud in the next room. With that I say no: ICE brakes are loud! I find this only partially suitable for larger events. The food is great. I treated myself to a steak and fries. But then I was still hungry and ordered more mussels. Now I was in the gym and they said I was too fat. Ok, but it was worth it!

Everything is a bit old-fashioned, including the menu. I had to keep my starter cutlery for the main course. The extra sauce “Schlotfeger” (€3.50) was with canned mushrooms. All in all, I expect more from a steakhouse.

Best steakhouse in Erlangen with quality that impresses

Absolute recommendation. Excellent food. Ample portions. Top quality. All at fair prices

Delicious quality food, friendly and attentive staff, quick service. Create your own steak menu - select the kind and weight of meat, choose a sauce and add sides. Can be noisy when fully booked.

Good food and very friendly waiters. The meat is excellent

It's a shame, but it has nothing to do with relaxing, good dining! Louder than at the Erlanger train station, conversation is hardly possible. The service was only so-so, side dishes came during the starter. Very suspicious. So you won't see us there any more so quickly.

Excellent steaks, cooked to perfection. The new boss, who had been at the grill here for years, took over the restaurant a few years ago and almost completely replaced the staff. The waiter Niko is particularly missing😔 But the food and especially the steaks are still unsurpassed. The best steakhouse in Erlangen and far beyond.

Again and again: simply brilliant and consistently great meat. The boss is the kind of innkeeper you want. It is a little noisy in the dining rooms, but that is probably due to the large crowds due to the top quality. Unrestricted recommendation.

Restaurant Schlotfeger offers a wonderful dining experience with attentive staff and delicious food. The service is prompt and friendly, ensuring a pleasant atmosphere throughout the meal. The dishes are expertly prepared, delivering rich flavors and high-quality ingredients. A great choice for anyone looking to enjoy a satisfying meal in a welcoming setting.

Very good food, excellent place and service

On Saturday November 16th, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. we were there with a reservation, 4 people in front of us were assigned to their table and sat down. Our table was just cleared by a waitress, the 4 people who were already sitting didn't like the table they had reserved, to our regret they then got our table, I thought it was outrageous to complain, but no one was interested. The quality of the food has also declined; it was much better with the old owner. I can't recommend it any further.

Great food. Great service. Unfortunately, the atmosphere is like a train station canteen and very loud. Too bad.

Meat was almost cold, ice cream was served in bowls, drinks were forgotten, service took way too long, but taste of meat was good

Great meat with great possible side dishes. Great desserts. Very good price/performance ratio

Good steaks, the rest is average at best. When it comes to side dishes, the emphasis is on convenience; some of them are smarter in the lunch canteen. Fried fried potatoes and canned vegetables, salad buffet 08/15... Furnishings, dishes, etc. are getting old, at best rustic charm.

Very tasty food and very inexpensive. Gladly again

Very nice steak , cooked to the point medium rare perfect. I was the first one there in the evening so service wasn’t quite set up yet but reasonably friendly and efficient

Good steakhouse, food was OK. Staff very attentive.

It was my first time here and I have to say that I am absolutely thrilled. The ambience doesn't quite suit my taste, but the food was absolutely top notch. I haven't eaten such a delicious steak in years. Cooked to perfection (medium) and very tender. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I can recommend it without hesitation.

The Schlotfeger in Erlangen offers fantastic steaks in a cozy, slightly older atmosphere. The warm service is particularly commendable – you feel welcome here. A must for steak lovers!

A really great restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, great service and sensational food.

Great steak to the point. The garlic butter is uniquely good. Fast, friendly service.

Beautiful ambience, great personalities and absolutely delicious food - you feel comfortable here. Rarely have I had such a good steak. Thank you very much 🙏🏻

Super friendly service and the steaks are still 1st. Class.

Very good steaks! I can only recommend it.

easily the best steak I have ever had with an incredible side of cooked vegetables. Great service and staff as well.

Cena di famiglia,locale scelto con ricerca su Tripadvisor. Menu prevalentemente a base di carne con scelte però anche per vegetariani. Carne buona e molto morbida ,abbiamo scelto del filetto alla griglia molto semplice poiché non amiamo le salse e gli intingoli. Anche i dolci molto buoni, il personale gentile e veloce nel servizio. Ci sentiamo assolutamente di consigliarlo.

The tastiest steaks in Erlangen.

Ambience a bit loveless and cold... Service sluggish, unfortunately I had a maggot in my food, which quickly ended our get-together... Never again!!!!!

…nette leute suuper steaks punktgenau gegrillt..kann ich nur Steak 🥩 liebhabern empfehlen.. 10 von 10 punkten von mir

If possible, there would be 10 stars for the very nice service. The food was all super delicious!! Not a long wait at all...

It was okay, but expected more for the prices on the menu. A pity

No longer recommended! Meat was fried to death even though it was ordered medium rare. The croquettes were carelessly served on a plate. The ambience cheap plastic worse than in a cheap diner

Fillet steak + rib eye steak grilled to the right cooking level and tasted good Sauces, baked potatoes, duchess potatoes tasted good, but side dishes were very expensive Service, listless service, annoyed when asked questions, some dishes were already cleared away during the meal Ambience ok

For steaks hard to find any better.

Great restaurant with good fresh dishes😋 We were served in a friendly manner and the price/performance ratio was top 👍🏻 Recommended and worth a visit

The meat was good. The rest is unfortunately forgettable. The wrong dish was served and no apology was even given. The mushrooms in the sauce and with the chimney sweep skewer from the can. Side dishes were served on cold plates and the food was generally very carelessly served. Glasses not really clean. When we were asked if everything was okay and we expressed our criticism, the waitress simply left and the waiter at the end simply objected. Unfortunately, the ambience has little to do with a steakhouse. It has more of the charm of a train station restaurant. The price-performance ratio doesn't match here.

The meat is good as always but unfortunately the side dishes are no longer as good.. And the porcini mushroom soup isn't that good anymore... It's a shame actually...

This store has never disappointed me. Service very friendly and attentive. Steak is incredibly tender and delicious. I'd love to come back :)
