Restaurant Zum Kuckuck in Quedlinburg

From the outside, everything looks beautiful, but unfortunately they're on vacation. Unfortunate for us, but you're welcome.

The restaurant's menu is somewhat indecisive. Lots of Italian starters, then Greek – and in the middle of it all, spicy meat. It seems to be trying to please everyone. We weren't entirely won over. The schnitzel was okay, the pizza was very cheesy and not at all crispy. The outdoor seating is quite pleasant, and the largest cuckoo clock is original.

Yes, very nice and interesting.

Really cozy little place with good food. Quite unique that it is located in the world's largest cuckoo clock :)

It was a very tasty meal and I must say that the price-performance ratio is right

Good food with quick service and a charming atmosphere.

We had a lovely time here. 🥰The food was delicious. 😋😋 Definitely worth a visit.

Very nice ambience, very friendly staff, individual requests were taken into account, even with the food, if something was supposed to be without onions, for example, this was also implemented, which is not something you get in other restaurants.

We made a reservation in advance for 8 people for Sunday lunch. The reservation went really well over the phone. The staff were incredibly friendly. The ambiance both outside and inside the dining room was beautiful. Very inviting, and you just felt at home. The service was very good. Fast and friendly service, and special requests were noted and fulfilled with a friendly smile. The drinks arrived quickly, as did the food. The prepared plates were an eye-catcher, very lovingly decorated. Every single dish was incredibly delicious. The wine 🍷 was also very tasty. We had a very pleasant and enjoyable time in the restaurant; we were very impressed and felt completely at home. Afterwards, we visited the adjacent cuckoo clock exhibition, which was also very interesting. We would like to thank the entire team at the "Zum Kuckuck" restaurant for this wonderful stay. We will definitely recommend them to others, and I am convinced that we will be happy to return. Best regards, the Vaupel and Behrens families.

A very rustic atmosphere, a great place for me 👌 The staff is perfect. I'm thrilled with the food; it's very tasty 😋 and plentiful 😋😋

This was our third time here and we highly recommend it. The menu is extensive and varied; all the dishes we enjoyed were delicious and attractively presented. And the highlight is the large clock with the singing cuckoo. We really enjoyed it and will definitely come back when our hiking passion takes us back to the Harz Mountains.

We found it by chance, right next to the largest cuckoo clock. We stopped in. Very friendly and attentive service, the menu is extensive, with something for everyone. The food was incredibly delicious and lovingly prepared. Parking is available in front of the door.

Absolutely recommended. Everything is just right here.

A very nice restaurant in the heart of Gernrode, and the main attraction is the cuckoo coming out of its little house with music. It's very, very tasty and definitely worth a visit.

A truly fantastic team 👍 We celebrated our wedding on June 21, 2025, and it was amazing 👍🙃 Best wishes to Charlotte, Yvonne, Ilka, and Melle from the kitchen 🙃👍😉 Greetings from the coachmen 😁

Very nice and wonderful restaurant. We were invited to a wedding. The staff was excellent. 👍🏻

I had to wait half an hour for my ice cream

We had a wonderful evening at the Zum Kuckuck restaurant in Gernrode. The food was excellent – ​​freshly prepared and very tasty. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We felt completely at home and would be happy to come back. Thank you very much.

We arrived late at lunch and were lucky enough to still be able to get food. We received friendly and prompt service. The food is freshly prepared, and we particularly enjoyed the red cabbage. It had a light bite and was incredibly flavorful. Both dishes were presented in an attractive way and tasted delicious. We found the Metaxa sauce very pleasant, as it wasn't as rich as in Greek restaurants.

We ate a strawberry sundae on the terrace for €8.90... which was OK, although it wasn't homemade, but it was appropriate for the location!

Yes, super fresh food with very good service.

Beautiful location, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, great food, drinks, everything your heart desires. We'd be happy to return.

Yes! A quaint and cozy restaurant. Very friendly staff, and the food was delicious 😋. I only happened to be there by chance, but I'd love to go back!

Good food. Friendly service and a lovely atmosphere.

The service is excellent, the chef came back to our table, and the food is delicious and seems lovingly prepared. A hospitable experience. Well worth the price.

Yes, the staff 7 d the food were very good!

We had dinner in this great restaurant today. It has a cozy beer garden with a great view of the cuckoo clock. The service was very friendly and the food is highly recommended and delicious. We really enjoyed it and would love to come back.

We were there spontaneously (due to a hike) without making a reservation and asked for a table. We got it even though everything was already reserved. Very nice staff and super delicious food. We'd love to come back.

We were guests at the Kuckuck two weeks ago. The food was great, the service was very friendly. I still deducted one star because the starter, which was specifically ordered as a starter, came with the main course.

Super nice staff, great ambience, very good food!

Food was delicious. There was the fillet pan. Super nice hospitality very warm. And a very sweet house pet. Highly recommended

A really really nice restaurant. On our hike along the Selketalstieg we made a stop here in Gernrode. The food is really delicious and the service is first class. Definitely worth a visit. We'd love to come back.

This week's culinary journey took us to Gernrode. The day before I had reserved a table by phone. Relatively late, but you can still get something warm to eat here even at 7:30 p.m. The restaurant is located directly next to the Harz watch factory. It's a bit hidden. We've been to countless restaurants in the Harz, but somehow we've never heard of it here. When we arrived we were shown to our table. Studied the menu and of course found something. I chose the cuckoo's nest. Here you can find some pan-fried gyros with red onions, Harz braised pork sausage, a minute steak, and two meatballs. Spanish green peppers and delicious fried potatoes. You also get a side salad. The price is €27.90. The other dishes were the Tuscan meatballs with rice and salad and the mushroom schnitzel. We've eaten in the Harz countless times and now there's a new one in the top 3. The food was really wonderful. The braised sausage especially. Oh, there was also Metaxa sauce. The taste is really great. Of course it's a decent portion. You should be hungry. Since I hadn't eaten anything all day, I managed well. The boss and cook later came to our table and asked if everything was okay. The other dishes were also tasty. Service was friendly. Card payment with a normal EC card is possible from €25. I can only make one recommendation for everyone here! The only thing that could be a little more complicated is parking. There isn't really much space and it's a dead end. Not ideal with a slightly larger car. Restaurant definitely one of the best in the Harz!

A wonderfully atmospheric stop with a cuckoo clock museum, numerous clocks, and a great starting and/or ending point for some fantastic hiking trails! Highly recommended and exactly what you'd want as part of a great hiking tour. Magnificent. Very well-maintained and beautifully located. Simply enjoy the cuckoo clock on the hour!

Recommendation goes out, delicious food and super friendly staff

Nice staff, everything was great, would be happy again

Very cozy decor. The food was delicious, including dark beer-style meat and herring. The prices are perfectly reasonable 👌.

Great atmosphere with friendly service and very tasty food at a fair price. Simply good and highly recommended.

Wonderful evening, great ambience and great service. The food really blew us away and was delicious, highly recommended.

A fine, remote restaurant that I really liked. The service is very friendly. The food comes very quickly. As a starter we had pepperoni with garlic that came in a hot pan and you could hear it frying. The cuckoo plate is something for when you're really hungry and I liked it, but it was just a little too salty for me. (But that's because I've changed my diet)

Yes, highly recommended. Even without a reservation we got a table for 2 + 🐕. Thank you

We went to the Restaurant zum Kuckuck for lunch today! The food was very good 👍! We can only recommend this! Service was very friendly and quick! We'll definitely be back!

Very good food, very nice staff and great location, very clean and tasteful atmosphere

Everything was great ☺️👍! Can only be recommended

I was served very friendly. The food was also super tasty 😋. I will definitely come back, highly recommended 💪

We were there in the summer. There is a beautiful beer garden from which you have a perfect view of the cuckoo clock. The food is very good, the service is friendly and quick. We'll definitely be back.

Highly recommended restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. We'd love to come back in the summer.

Beautiful, quaint restaurant with delicious food

We liked it very much. The food was very tasty and the service was very nice.

Decent large portions; Red cabbage, fried potatoes and fire goulash were very tasty

Well, in times when hardly anyone offers gastronomy on Sundays, you're almost overwhelmed here. Nice rustic atmosphere, homely embroidered tablecloths, everything was super clean. You can come in and order 35 minutes before the kitchen actually opens and daaaannnnn…. Well prepared plates, without being asked, a plate for each guest for an appetizer that we wanted to share. The main courses are amazing. Very large portions, beautifully arranged plates with edible flowers, great taste and the friendly, serving ladies give you a complete feeling of loved and experienced gastronomy. In times of daily negative news, this was a priceless experience!!! Thank you for that and respect, as well as a huge smack to the team at the stove for all the beautiful food!!! We'll definitely come back and pack up what we won't be able to do again 🤣👍💐💐💐

Great, solid German cuisine. The food tasted home made, and the service was very friendly and welcoming. Our meals were plentiful, and the plates built in a way that showed effort and care.

Please do not think about getting something WARM to eat between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. after a 17 km hike. It's better to order seats days in advance.

Nice service. Price performance top. Is only recommended

Very tasty, rarely eaten so well. Very friendly, nice staff. A must if you are traveling in the Harz Mountains.🥰

This restaurant was the culmination of our vacation. Super tasty, diverse range of food. The staff are friendly and helpful. This restaurant definitely deserves a sixth star! We say thank you very much and will definitely come back again.

We would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Spontaneously called on Friday afternoon and reserved a table for 11 people for the evening. The ambience is great and the service is super friendly. The food was very good. We will definitely come back. We're happy to drive 400 km for this. Thanks to the great team.

A very nice atmosphere. The food was excellent. Everything tasted great and the service was super nice and accommodating.

Went there again spontaneously today and it's always like coming home. Service staff are always immediately active to find a way to get a seat even though it was very full. They are always in a good mood and respond to special requests. The food is always amazing. Thank you again and again.

Food tastes great. Friendly service. We'll definitely come back. Keep it up.

A very nice place to stay. Delicious food. Very nice staff.

Cozy restaurant with friendly service and good food. All wishes were taken into account. Before you enter the restaurant, you can marvel at the almost largest cuckoo clock. In summer there are also outdoor spaces. The clock museum is located in the adjacent building, where various cuckoo clocks can be viewed. A visit is definitely recommended.

Full marks. We were invited to a birthday dinner and it was just great. Service very accommodating, food at its best. We'll be back. Kind regards from Leipzig.

Highly recommended, rarely eaten so deliciously. The ingredients were fresh, it tasted very good and the prices were really humane. Rarely have we experienced such nice service from staff; every change to the order was accepted and implemented without a complaint. So we'll definitely come back.

It was actually fully booked on their outdoor terrace, but luckily they found room for us on this beautiful summer evening. Despite the busyness, the waiters were smiling, the food came relatively quickly and was delicious, well prepared, and the crowd was on the good side. The place is visited by locals, we could see and hear, so quite a bit of tourists.

Good restaurant, nice ambience. delicious food.

I always enjoy going to the “Kuckuck” The food is tasty and the staff is always friendly.

After waiting for an hour, the food we ordered was finally delivered, but it was delicious.

This restaurant is definitely worth recommending! Great atmosphere, super friendly service and the food is also great. You'll be happy to come back here. Update 06/2024 Came back today and still great.

Great beer garden with nice, authentic service, good food and beer, what more could you want than the cuckoo

Everything is just right here. Ambience service and of course the food. Highly recommended. Small note: advertise more in and around Gernrode, then even more guests will come to you.

Cozy outdoor seating, tasty food and very friendly service made the trip to Gernrode after the visit to the Cuckoo Clock Museum perfect.

Went there for the first time today and were so excited that we made a reservation for another time. The ambience, food and service are simply top!

Definitely worth a visit! The ambience of this restaurant is great, typically Harz furnished with real and great eye-catchers! (Cuckoo clocks!) But above all, the food is first class! A large selection, beautifully prepared and simply tastes delicious!! We'll definitely come back there soon! :-)

I haven't eaten something so delicious in years

Very nice restaurant, very good food, friendly staff

Super nice staff, very good food, large portions... highly recommended!!

Mega great food, the girls in service are just amazing, friendly, fast and in a good mood... the food came super quickly. All in all it was a great evening...

The food was very good and the service was always top notch

We discovered the restaurant online and wanted to pick up food. Friendly service, we were allowed to wait in the restaurant for it to be prepared. The restaurant looks attractive and cozy. If desired, you can also order smaller portions. Ultimately, everyone enjoyed the various dishes. Gladly again.

Very nice atmosphere. The food was prepared and served very quickly. Service was attentive and friendly. Prices normal. Good parking options all around.

Very child friendly, great menu

After visiting the adjacent museum yesterday, we spontaneously stopped there for a lunch snack. The very nice waitress immediately freed up a table even though it was very full. A booster seat would be brought especially for the youngest of us. The special requests were also taken into account without any complaints. The waitresses asked several times if everything was okay. We felt very comfortable.

Highly recommended as the museum for cuckoo clocks is right next door

We had dinner with our group of friends and were so pleasantly surprised. It's a great atmosphere, the food is delicious, well prepared and really fills you up. The service is great, always there, questions were asked and everything was very quick. Very nice evening.

Ambience suitable for the motto. Very friendly and fast service. The meals were delicious.

Food highly recommended. It's really worth going there.

After a spontaneous idea of ​​going out to eat, we quickly got a seat at the Kuckuck. In addition to the beautiful ambience and delicious food, the service was very nice and always responded to requests. All in all, if you are looking for a nice evening as a couple, family or with many guests, the Kuckuck is the right place for you! Highly recommended.

We ate very well there. A cozy atmosphere. Also suitable for celebrations.

Went here for a quick meal early on Sunday evening. Top service and excellent cuisineHighly recommended, the Gernrode Feuerfleisch. Dogs are also welcome😎👍🐶. Thank you very much for a successful evening, we will definitely be back. Greetings also to the regular guests at Lüdde🍻. We are closed on Sundays 😃😉

Great food, super friendly service and dogs are also welcome. Generous portions and a fair price. Gladly again.

Ordered for the first time today and was initially skeptical about the price. But I have to say that the food was very tasty and I would definitely recommend it, no matter what it costs. The staff is very friendly and there is definitely a cozy atmosphere. Quick preparation of 15min 👍

Nice restaurant with a rustic atmosphere. The large cuckoo clock in front of the entrance is an eye-catcher and definitely worth a visit. Very nice service. However, the food we chose was unfortunately not what we had imagined. The decoration was excellent and loving, but the taste was partly not. The home cooking was consistently very good. The prices are today's average. As expected.

Always a wonderful place to stop off. No matter whether inside or outside. Great ambience and always wonderful food. Great waitresses who always have a quick saying on their lips. It's also great that the chef goes around each table and asks how it tasted. Super-duper. We always enjoy coming back.

When I walked into the restaurant I immediately felt at home. And the service was simply excellent, friendly and accommodating. The food is perfectly tasty and varied. Just nice home cooking.

Great food, great service. We always feel very comfortable and very welcome there. Keep it up.

Great service with good food. We'll definitely come back when we're in the area.

We always enjoy coming back here. Food, price and hospitality fit together perfectly. Takeaway food is also possible 😀 Until next time👍

We were here for dinner as a couple on two subsequent days at the weekend. The menu is varied, the food was tasty, the portions were decent. Starters and desserts were also tasty. The price-performance ratio is right! The waitresses were attentive and friendly. All in all very nice and highly recommended! :-)

The food was sometimes only lukewarm, the schnitzel was as dry as the sole of a shoe, as if it had been warmed up in the microwave
