Restaurant Unterschweinstiege in Frankfurt am Main

The place is rustic and the food is sensational.

Surprised to see so many good reviews, my experience was quite different: schnitzel was very sub-par and the salad was dry leaves. Facility is quite pretty, though, and traditional.

Extremely positively surprised! The restaurant seems rather boring from the outside. But it's absolutely not the food. Service was very accommodating and the food was great! I had roast beef as a starter and saddle of wild boar as a main course.

I have been going to this restaurant for over 40 years. It’s been there before the the Steigenberger or the Autobahn was even built. It has been a consistent and wonderful presence every time I am in Frankfurt. The standards don’t change and neither does the staff. I’ve watched busboys turn into managers and favored waiters retire from lifelong service. The food, service and ambience are so consistent that I can tell friends exactly what to order at which time of year and they will never be disappointed.

That was nothing. Expensive and the waiter was super rude.

Very friendly Stuff. The food was delicious

Not a highlight, but decent. Not a culinary delight, but not bad. Service was courteous, quick and as it should be. Suitable for stop-overs.

Let's put it this way, I don't think this establishment has any repeat customers.

Ate very well. The service was great 👍👍 Attentive, friendly and competent 😀😀 Looking forward to the next visit

Mother's Day brunch! Very, very tasty and perfect service.

Everything was very good from the welcome to the farewell

The place is relatively nice and cosy but don't expect anything about the food. The noodles that were supposed to be "ramen" came out extremely salty, almost not eatable. The burger is no better than in any fast food restaurant, just 3 times more expensive! I didn't see anything that looks like german, apart from the beer...

Great food, fast service! I wish we could have done the buffet! Looked phenomenal! Our server was the best!

The service is very attentive and friendly. We were there in a group, and not alone, so the food was understandably in buffet form. There were long waiting times at the stations, unfortunately the food was either lukewarm or cold. The problem could have been gotten under control through better structure and distribution. You definitely shouldn't squeeze the chef with the meat into the farthest corner where it feels like 20 people are lining up, blocking 30% of the buffet.

In early March of 2023, my wife and I were staying at the Hotel next door, and they told us about the restaurant. We went at around 5:30 pm. We were greeted promptly, then seated. Language barrier was not an issue. We had Wienerschnitzel with seasoned potatoes and mushroom gravy. As you can see by the picture below, the Schnitzel filled the plate. As the title says, the food and service were excellent. If we are ever in Frankfort again, we will most definitely eat at the Unterschweinstiege Restaurant again. Chris and Judy Workman.

Wonderful typical German restaurant. It is a bit on the expensive side, due to its location and authentic character. The food is of high quality and the service is very attentive!

I had a vegan starter and a vegetarian main i.e., the Sous Vide cooked Chickory and the Beet Root Spatzle respectively. Both were very well presented and tasted delicious. The service was excellent too. Nice atmosphere also.

We had booked at the Steigenberger 1 night before departure with a 2-course menu, which we were able to enjoy at the Unterschweinstiege. It's really cozy, very nice team and it tasted great... the Kaiserschmarrn for dessert was divine🥰 Thank you very much, see you next year

Ich hatte hier mein Abendessen vor dem Abflug in den Urlaub . Das Essen war gut und reichlich , die Bedienung sehr freundlich , aber leider ist es schon recht teuer.

The real deal for classic German food. Best Schnitzel I’ve ever had. and I be had a lot of schnitzel in my time. Potatoes were perfect and the grilled vegetables surprised me…I couldn’t stop eating them!

Great place to have a nice dinner!

Fantastic. Not to be missed. Order from the menu! Apple wine and schnitzel…. Best ever. Even the herb sales was extraordinary. Dark greens flavorful and fresh. I want to fly through Frankfurt just to return here!

This place is hidden in the back of the Steigenberger hotel. It took us a while to find it. Bottom line is to park in the garage next to the Steigenberger hotel. Food, service, wine is absolutely excellent. Open relatively late. My new to go to when leaving from Frankfurt.

We enjoyed an absolutely delicious dinner here whilst staying in one of the airport hotels. It is a bit pricey but the food is genuine German food and it is excellent, so totally worth it. We tried a veal schnitzel with green sauce, bratwurst, potato gratin, and 3 glasses of local wine. The servings are huge and they also provide bread, butter and cream cheese at no cost. For 2 of us our bill was just under 100 Euro. The service was friendly, attentive and fast. Highly recommend this restaurant, other restaurants in this precinct don’t appear to offer traditional German food so it’s well worth it. Google maps shows pedestrian access incorrectly - walk down the street with the same name as the restaurant!

Meh. The atmosphere and service were top notch. The food however was nothing special. Seemed like everything was deep fried to keep it easy for cook. We had pork knuckle, wienerschnitzel and bratwurst. The bratwurst was good and I would order again. Overall nice experience but I would probably not return.

Eine echte Perle im Wahnsinn des Frankfurter Airports - das denkmalgeschützte Haus von 1781 mit dem tollen Garten, das fantastische Essen und der Top-Service haben uns absolut überzeugt. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gern wieder. Herzlichen Dank an das gesamte Team!

Great place in Frankfurt to eat!!!

Fantastic restaurant that I happened to come upon by accident since I was staying at the Steigenberger Hotel right next door. Great German cuisine, I highly recommend the Veal Schnitzel. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very cozy and upscale. I ended up coming back the next evening for an encore dinner.

War gut dort Ordentliches Essen und netter Service Das Essen war allerdings deutlich zu teuer.

Super leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal. Das Essen ist nicht gerade billig, aber dafür einmalig.

Ambiente etwas angestaubt, Service sehr aufmerksam und professionell. Das Essen ist gut (anspruchsvolle bürgerliche Küche) aber für das Gebotene etwas zu teuer.

Nettes Ambiente aber das Essen war teuer und fade im Geschmack... war in Summe eher enttäuscht und es werden die Hotelgäste eher abgegriffen da wenig Alternativen in der Nähe sind.

Das Essen war leider enttäuschend, z.T. waren Vorspeisen sehr geschmacksneutral, die Hauptgerichte waren kalt sowie auch die Beilagen. Gefühlt waren die Vorspeisen wärmer als die Hauptgerichte. Den Service möchte ich als sehr gut bezeichnen. Wir waren schon, mit diesem Besuch zum dritten Mal zum Brunch, ob es noch einen weiteren Besuch wird zweifel ich stark an. Die beiden Besuche waren von der Küche um Welten besser. Für 69 Euro darf man mehr erwarten.

What a great find hidden behind a hotel. The cheese board, the schnitzel, the seasonal beer, the pilsner — all of it was outstanding.

Love coming here. The food and atmosphere will make you feel like if you’re at grandma’s house. Don’t expect to be in a rush here, the food is definitely worth the wait.

Gute Lokation für eine Mahlzeit bei einem Hotelsufenthalt im Steigenberger.

Amazing food! Veal schnitzel served at its finest with the mushroom cream sauce. The starter of sauerkraut soup was a special recipe from one of the chef's grandma in Poland and definitely a must try. Service by J. Musall was prompt, helpful, friendly and memorable. Will be back next time traveling through Frankfurt!

Hidden restaurant where you could enjoy delicious German food in a very warm atmosphere. Service was very friendly. Reasonable price and good portion.

Tolles Ambiente und sehr klassische Gerichte frisch interpretiert. Im Restaurant merkt man gar nicht, dass man direkt am Flughafen ist. Das Personal war sehr freundlich.

Anfangs habe ich bedauert, dass nur dieses Restaurant am Steigenberger Airport Hotel auf hatte. Wir haben etwas gesucht und es dann gefunden. Die Einrichtung auf den ersten Blick etwas „altbacken“. Erinnerte mich etwas an den alten „Wienerwald“. Obwohl das ungerecht ist. Das Essen war wirklich hervorragend. Die Portionen reichlich, interessante Zusammenstellungen. Aufmerksame und freundliche Mitarbeiter:innen. Immer bereit, es einem schön zu machen. Die Preise sind für den Großraum Frankfurt angemessen. Auf jeden Fall ein großes Lob und weiter zu empfehlen.

Sehr leckeres Essen, nicht ganz billig, lohnt sich aber!

Das Essen war der Kracher. Sah nicht nur gut aus, war auch sehr lecker. Der Kalbsrücken im Menü kann ebenso, wie die Vielfalt des Buffet s, sehr empfohlen werden. Die Bedienung ist hervorragend.

Really cool hidden resturuant german style hut almost in the middle of the hotel commercial area. Really great German food and drinks. Great staff great recommendations for food and drink. You need to go through the hotel. The Google direction in slightly wrong leads to a delivery entrance but worth following the signs inside striengen hotel.

Todo estuvo de primer nivel.Muchas gracias!

Excellent Hunting Style Restaurant. Highly recommended.

Kein grossartiges Essen aber von Preis-Leistung i. O

Sehr nettes Personal, gutes Essen im gemütlichen Ambiente.

Freundlicher Service und gutes Essen. Einfach nur lecker 5* Danke

Weihnachtsbrunch ist super. Schade, dass es keinen Sonntagsbrunch mehr gibt

Went here for Christmas Eve dinner as it was one of the only spots open near the Frankfurt airport (where I was stuck for a day due to flight delays). Service was very friendly and they had menus in English. The food was excellent. Service was a bit slow at times, but...Christmas. A bit pricey for the 4-course meal, but that's to be expected because...Christmas.

Schönes Brunch, Preis Leistung ok, nächstes Jahr wieder.

Getränke sind leider maßlos überteuert. 7,50€ für eine Cola ist auch für ein Hotelrestaurant nicht zu rechtfertigen.

Wir waren dort zum Brunch. Sehr gut. Unsere Servicekraft war freundlich,aufmerksam und sehr charmant

Ichcwarc zur weihnachtsfeier dort War ganz okay

We took a flyer on this restaurant as the recent reviews looked great and the low ones were years ago. It was awesome. Food was excellent, one of my better meals in Germany ever. Service was terrific. This was a huge unexpected surprise for some world travelers used to the San Francisco food scene. Give it a try!

All three of us loved our meals, and the dedicated schnitzel eater said it was the best schnitzel he’d had (he got the jäger version). Extensive wine selection. Wonderful, friendly service. Excellent way to end our trip.

The garden setting was a delightful aspect of this large restaurant serving excellent German dishes. I was surprised to find this located very close to the airport — walking distance in fact from Terminal 2. The interior is all dark wood, and in the warm months they appear to operate a beer garden. I ordered beer, served in chilled ceramic mugs, and the classic Schweinhaxe. Very good.

The food was really good but the service was litterally outstanding. The most friendly and helpful service You can imagine from the young man who attended our table. I wish I had asked for his name to mention him in this review, because he went out of his way to help us spend an excellent evening, enjoy the meal and to find an easier way back to our hotel. The traditional decor of the restaurant is pleasant and food was very tasty. Highly recommended for those in the area wanting quality food in a nice setting.

The place is absolutely spectacular! From incredible service to a perfectly cooked filet and surprisingly good German Pinot Noir, this was completely unexpected. Staying at the adjacent hotel for a layover, I wasn’t expecting my tastebuds to be tickled quite as good. The service 5* Food 5* Wine 5*

Went for nice dinner with Friends in their Biergarten. They reserved a nice place and accepted our dog also. Good social distance and COVID measures applied. We ordered nice food ( vegetarian, fish and meat) all was prepared well and tasty. For sure the menu offers only limited selection but everything we tried was excellent. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Great value for money!

Ordered the suckling pig cheeks was ok my idea of it was hoping that it was going to be better not just ok but was still good nonetheless

Our flight to Dubai was delaid for 12 hours and we were booked into the hotel Steigenberger. Check in was quick and efficient. Rooms are typical airport size on the small side. We skipped the airline bufet food and opted for the UnterschweinStiege instead. Service was very good and the food tasty. Kuup up s great smile.

Literally made an account to leave this review. The buffet was 36€ and had few options, my friend got spinach dumplings that were flavorless, to the point where he had to ask for hot sauce, and dense. it looked like someone chewed up a bunch of bran and like two pieces of spinach and then spit it out. The menu was complicated and hard to read, to the point where I just got the buffet.

As i entered, found the restaurant interior comfortable and service attentive. this german restaurant possesses a terrific buffet for a reasonable price considering the quality. the variety of vegetables. - both fresh and cooked— was surprising and welcome ( veggies dont seem a core competency ex- potatoes in germany). desserts were varied and straightforward. enjoyed the varieties of beers.

Been all over Germany and this is absolutely awful food! One star because the service was good. Ordered the pork knuckle . Was the size of a baseball and had zero flavor. Potatoes were dry and also no flavor. Left hungry.

Within the Steigenberger hotel premises, this a decent German style restaurant. Cost atmosphere, good traditional food and friendly, though rather slow service. Good place for a comfortable dinner while staying near Frankfurt airport.

Wonderful place for German dinner during brief stay in Frankfurt. Great wiener schnitzel and pork knuckle, and wonderful service.

We ate from the buffet. Nice selection of salads and meats from the grill and fantastic apple strudel from the selection of deserts! The buffet is 37EU which in my mind is a bit on the expensive side for what you get, but not expensive...

Such a great restaurant with so much history. The food was unbelievable. We were so impressed. This was a great final meal before leaving for the airport. Excellent location with ample underground parking nearby. The patio was a popular spot with lots of shade.

My wife and I ate lunch here while staying at the Steigenberger Airport hotel. The restaurant is in a separate building located next the hotel. The restaurant look like a Bavarian hunting lodge. We thought the atmosphere was very nice. The service was quick and...

The Holiday Inn hotel was too crowded and is the same restaurant as breakfast, so small, so I decided to walk the 13 min to this hotels restaurant. The ambiance and setting is perfect, outside lighted umbrella seating. They had a buffet dinner for $37...

Lovely group dinner in charming restaurant. Adorable decor. Hearty meal. Sat at different tables. Lots of beer choices in huge beer glasses.

visited for a meal with business colleagues and asparagus season was in full flow. Most places have it on the menu at the moment but this was beautifully cooked white with a very nice citrusy hollandaise and melt in the mouth salmon. There is an...

The buffet lunch at this restaurant had a rich offering of many different types of foods, including beef, chicken, pork, shellfish, a range of cooked vegetables, a fresh salad bar, a colorful vast dessert bar. My favorites were coq au vin, the carrot soup, kraut,...

Our family of 4 ate there this week for dinner. It was very costly compared to other places at approximately 30 Euro per dinner, 10 Euro for a dessert, 10 Euro for an appetizer. The wienerschnitzel was delicious. The wild boar an oxcheeks were both...

The menu is excellent, with wide choice in both food and wine, and a buffet -- lots of German specialties, as well as "international". Many wines are available by the glass. The restaurant is a short walk (outdoor but covered) from the Steigenberger airport hotel....

I went to this restaurant because at one time they had the most delicious Forelle blue. I ordered Fish yesterday. The fish itself was ok. The sides served with it down don’t look appealing and tasted worse.

Loved this place! Was a refreshing change from the usual hotel restaurants and provided a real traditional experience. The setting was lovely, friendly staff with great service. I am a vegetarian and there were some great vegetarian options on the menu too. The meals were...

I always enjoy having a meal at the Untersweinstiege restaurant. Over the years I have dined there on many occasions. The quality of food, and service has always maintained a very high standard ! The rustic setting and ambiance has stood the test of time!!...

I never had such a horrible carpaccio. I think the Sjef was out of real meat and created his own carpaccio with dog food and 500gr of salt. The Wienerschnitzel was okay for a supermarket meal, but nothing in compare a typical German Wienerschnitzel. The...

Very charming and relaxing, old world and rustic. loved the decor. food choices were fabulous. service was super good.

I recently ate here with a friend. Service was a bit slow initially to get our drinks order in. Had a starter from the buffet and the duck breast from the al a carte. The main was verrry good. I would eat here again.

We went here for lunch, and we were the only ones in the entire place which made us skeptical. I had the shnitzel which was very good and a large portion. I found it a bit pricey given the simple ingredients. Nice atmosphere and patio....

We walked to this restaurant from our nearby hotel and found a charming, relaxing outdoor patio area on which to enjoy our last meal in Germany. The waiter was especially friendly and helpful. You can choose between a buffet with a barbecue station or or...

Totally wonderful surprise biergarten next to the airport tucked between shining modern buildings. Absolutely impeccable service. Wonderful, amazing food. If you have time before flying out do yourself a go or and eat here for that last great German meal.

This is not an ordinary buffet. This very German buffet has delicious grilled meats being cooked as you are there. They have shrimp and prawns (delicious). Chicken ragout was so good. Many other things I didn’t try. The desserts were outrageous and beautifully presented.

The buffet offers a wide variety of local cuisine and other, meat and vegetarian. yummy deserts. lovely to eat outdoors.

Excellent decor and atmosphere. Outstanding salad bar. Diverse menu selection. Duck hot dogs 👍🏻. Tomahawk pork chops. ❤️ Very good boar sausage soup. Others at our table enjoyed their asparagus appetizer, pizzas and schnitzel. Very cold Pilsner 🍺. Attentive and bilingual staff.

We were hosted here for dinner before heading back to Singapore. Sat outdoor and had the beef tartar, oxtail and assorted sausages (beef, pork and pork with cheese). Good ambience and music.

Nice little gem in the middle of the business area and hotels. Amazing food and staff. Around 35-37Eur for buffet dinner and 27Eur for a Wiener schnitzel

I was there with colleagues for a business trip. I stayed in the Steigenberger hotel. This is a nice options in that area if you don't want to move to get a dinner. Quality of food is quite good and also the service is ok....

My recommendation is not to take the buffet, overpriced so go to the menu and order then you succced

My flight got canceled and I was sent to the hotel and got a voucher for this restaurant. I understand the voucher business must not be the best for the restaurant. But either stop doing it or do it properly. So what happened: I arrived...

My last evening in Frankfurt was spent dining at the Unterschweinsteige restaurant located onsite at the Steigenberger Airport hotel. I enjoyed the hunting theme (menu had an interesting choice of game meats). In the end, I opted for the dinner buffet instead in order to...

Unterschweinstiege Bavarian restaurant is located in Steigenberger Frankfurt Airport Hotel, about 7 min away from Terminal 1.

I was here for business for a few days. Lunch was a buffet and I am not exaggerating but it is the same everyday for 4 days. 10 points for consistency :) Not my kind of place

convenient for the hotel, but not a great place, trying to be traditional German, but its not, the food is a buffet, and it was pretty poor selection, though the quality was fine, it was just un appetizing in all respects. There are better places...
