Schlemmer-Eck in Bad Schandau

We were there for lunch, ordered schnitzel, but instead of fried potatoes we took fries. This change cost 2 euros extra per dish, plus another 2 euros extra for a little extra sauce, which was no more than two tablespoons. I find something like that to be a pure rip-off, it doesn't work at all. 8 euros extra for nothing, for absolutely nothing... Food itself was good and ok. We definitely won't be coming back.

The food was very tasty, it could have been a little more vinegar in the red cabbage, for me the pork shank was very tasty. The beer is really tasty. There is a menu in Polish

A must for anyone who loves good home-style and regional cuisine. The service was great and so was the food. Small cozy restaurant with a very large menu. There are also selected dishes in small portions. The quark balls were very tasty and are enough for two people as a dessert. Cash payment is only possible and is available in many places, so there can be no problems in the end. We'll definitely come back again.

A small cozy restaurant. The service is sooo friendly. The food was served quickly. And it was delicious. The prices are great too. Absolutely recommended.

Very friendly service, cozy atmosphere. You can also take everything with you. Very good service.

The meat was a bit dry, but everything else tasted good

After a short wait in front of the restaurant, we were given a table in the “annex”. The heaters warmed us from above but my legs were ice cold. We enjoyed the food and didn't have to wait long.

Typical Saxon dishes, large selection of wines.

It was a nice evening, we were very satisfied. We chose the trout, it was very well prepared. We can also recommend the Rivaner white wine and the black beer. The service is very nice and you didn't have to wait long.

Food and drinks were top and the home-style Saxon cuisine was well presented. The ambience was cozy and appropriate. The service was very friendly. Cash only 😉

When we walked in both hosts kept staring at us and mumbling things under their breath. Finally after several awkward minutes they said we could sit anywhere. The food was great, however, the service continued to disappoint. The waitress with purple hair was incredibly brash and insulting. Do not even dare to ask which dish was better between two options. Pretty weird that you can’t ask the waitress about the food they are offering, but okay. 🤦‍♀️I also watched her sneeze, wipe her nose with her hand and then proceed to wait on customers. The waitress with dark hair put on a better front, but then insulted a customer loudly so the whole main interior room could hear. Honestly, I would not return based on our experience with the waitstaff. *The owner replied and stated we had never been to the restaurant. We did visit the establishment on October 21, 2024 around 15:00 after hiking Phase 4 of the Malerweg. Yes, the waitress did not have 100% purple hair, but it had a purple tint to it in the lighting (not pure blonde). Additionally, for clarification we ordered a Rindergulasch and Schnitzel with a beer and wine. It was an easy walk from our hotel - Hotel Elberesidenz. I would say the owner’s reply sums up the service onsite.

Food very good, meat very tender and very tasty. Highly recommended.👍

Payment only possible with cash! The food was very tasty home cooking. The prices were reasonable and the service was attentive and on point. The ambience may not be the most elegant but the cuisine is top. 👍

Very tasty, great service. Thanks

Service is very nice and fun at work. The food was good too. Fresh and decent portion. Too big for my taste. Unfortunately the atmosphere wasn't nice. We were outside on the heated patio. It's very restless, the door is constantly opening and closing. But that's part of it. What was worse was that there was also a radio playing over the loudspeaker system. That was exhausting and anything but relaxing. Maybe you could play simple music, but it's not so superficial.

According to the notice in front of the door, no reservation is possible, you should just sit in a free seat. There are reserved signs on several tables inside. When I asked the waitress there was only a curt answer. We would have liked to try the appealing menu Addition: Thank you for your detailed answer. Your statement sounds coherent and reasonable. If I had received this explanation in a "normal" tone in your restaurant, everything would have been fine. As I wrote, I found your menu very appealing and the number of guests proves you right. However, I don't see why I, as a paying guest, should be approached in the tone described. My inquiry about the reservation signs to your staff was made in a friendly and calm tone, which can be confirmed by my companion and other guests. The answer from your service person not only irritated me and us, but also other guests. I don't want to "tear up" your restaurant but rather share my experiences. Due to the situation described, I cannot rate your dishes.

The spark didn't fly. There was no comfort. When we came in the waitress was already complaining loudly. The dishes were without any complaints, good home-style, delicious. But unfortunately nothing special. All in all, I can recommend the restaurant.

Very tasty, you got it just the way you wanted it

Interesting location with delicious food.

All dishes were served quickly and at the table. Very friendly despite many guests. Had the Müllerin trout, cooked to perfection, very well seasoned and big enough for the hunger.

Very tasty Saxon cuisine Price performance ok 👌 Service ok but could be improved but also very well attended that day so everything was fine 💪

My wife and I just had an excellent meal there Service was very friendly and frequent despite a full restaurant We can only recommend it 100% The food was great

Excellent food with honest, home-style cooking. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed trout and schnitzel. It was really tasty and the price-performance ratio was very good. The service ladies were also very good, fast, tough and friendly, even though the restaurant was full and there was a long line in front of the door. Luckily you don't need a reservation, otherwise we wouldn't have had a chance as spontaneous guests. Gladly again at any time!😊 PS: The Arizona holiday home in Bad Schandau, run by the same owner, is also highly recommended! 😉

I would give everything a 5+ plus. The service was super friendly and nice. We ordered the liver and were surprised at the amount on the plate, I have to say... the price-performance ratio is totally right. The mashed potatoes were freshly prepared and the liver was excellent. We'll definitely come back. Keep it up

Where do you start here? I was really looking forward to a meal and have rarely been so disappointed 😞. Service wasn't particularly nice, stressed and unfriendly, after I asked what kind of tea ☕️ I got the answer, it's on the menu. It was not indicated in advance that certain food was out. Goulash: Red cabbage tasted more like it came from a jar without any spice. Rolulade had no taste, meat was dry. And last but not least, the food wasn't even lukewarm. Sauce is like a ready-made sauce and all for 20.00 euros. I define self-cooked differently. And in this day and age, no card payment is possible & this in a tourist city is something we can't & don't want to understand. The lady who served us asked how the food tasted, unfortunately I had to say no, but she wasn't interested. Although I'm just a tourist, I won't recommend this gourmet corner.

I just wanted to call to ask if dogs were allowed, it wouldn't be a shame if calls and emails weren't answered

We had dinner here again today and it was very tasty. The service is very friendly and relaxed. And the price is good.

All in all it was okay and definitely has room for improvement.

Delicious bratwurst with potatoes and sauerkraut, spiced meat and dark beer. Nice service, everything was great. Cheap prices

fast, very tasty & sufficient food extremely friendly and value cleanliness What was annoying, however, were guests who couldn't sit still in the outdoor area with the metal chairs on the paving stones

The fried potatoes were wobbly. Everything else was ok. When the waitress asked if everything was good, we were honest, the lady wasn't interested.

I'll say it right up front. I didn't eat at the restaurant, so my review doesn't relate to the food or service, but the pictures of it looked good. But: I can neither reserve nor pay by card. In such a tourist location, that's absurd for me. There is also a menu on the website completely without prices. Just remember to bring enough cash with you, because there's no other way. I don't know why I should go, I would only go in if I was standing right in front of it to check if I had enough cash in my pocket for 4 people. Strange business model. Addendum: I upgraded the review because the first comment was the only thing that made sense. It's probably really not appropriate to give 2 stars and that's why I correct myself. Although I have pointed out what I am evaluating, which many do not. I am capable of so much self-reflection. Don't think it's the same for you. But maybe it's also due to the heat. I am fully aware that card payments incur additional fees. But I can also eat in Dresden, Leipzig and Munich for the price. However, cash isn't necessarily necessary there; it's called service and not militant. Maybe it hasn't progressed that far yet. Perhaps gas stations and supermarkets should also avoid card payments in the future. It would be nice to stand in line again and watch everyone rummage through their wallets for the good old marks. You don't feel so militant anymore. And selling things as good just because others do them worse doesn't necessarily make your own good. Addendum 2: I don't actually write that much, but this time anyway because I think it's good that people read it carefully and think about it, which didn't seem like that to me when I first posted it. That's why I use it to explain my perspective as a customer and the thoughts behind it. We are traveling with 4 people, so a meal costs on average around 100, - sometimes more. If we were day tourists and took the ship from Dresden for a short time, I would have packed 300 in cash, everything would be fine. But we were there for several days. Means lunch, entry to various sights, dinner, maybe an ice cream in between. I don't like driving around with 1000 in cash or going to the bank every day to get cash for the day. I have a card for exactly that. And when I'm standing there in the evening and still have a hundred euros and thinking about where we're going to eat, it would help me if the menu also showed prices. To see if the rest is enough or not. Also because I have to look at the price and the advice to bring enough cash doesn't really help. I like to know what to expect beforehand, without having to sit in the restaurant and calculate whether I have enough cash for dessert or not. And a “good value for money” review is very subjective. That's my background and it wasn't just the cash payment that bothered me, but the combination of everything. And I have to say, I come from Saxony and I know Saxon Switzerland and unfortunately I'm not there as often as I would like. But I had the feeling that time stood still in some places. And of course everyone can decide whether it is good for them or not. And I can eat a main course in Munich for 17-20 euros without any problems. Not at Marienplatz, of course. Lease and employees are certainly another topic. But it definitely got me thinking about how and why to review and what may or may not be appropriate. Well, I probably wrote way too much, but that was something that was close to my heart.

Terrible service, no one has ever treated me so badly in a restaurant.

We were there on a Monday and it was packed. That was probably because of the food, which was really good and the prices were justified. We had a schnitzel, which was a bit thick for my taste but tasted good and was clearly freshly prepared. The goulash with dumplings was very tasty, even if the meat was still a bit firm. Unfortunately, we were greeted quite rudely when we were seated and were almost thrown out when we sat down at a table that still had a glass on it. At the entrance it says that you can sit yourself at “clean” tables, but it was very full, we were happy to have found a table and it was only one glass. The waitress was pretty angry about it but we were allowed to stay seated after she explained to us in detail. Pretty embarrassing for everyone involved. As the evening progressed, the mood improved again. Your colleague was very nice throughout! The fact that you can only pay in cash is annoying, but it is communicated twice and three times, so you can be prepared for that. In principle you can recommend it as a good home-style restaurant!

Very fair prices and honest atmosphere. Good Saxon cuisine. We'd love to come back.

Nice service, delicious food. It would be great to point out that you can only pay in cash at the entrance and not on the card.

Food very good. Very nice staff. Great value for money. Gladly again and only recommended.

Food wasn't that special, but very nice staff and cozy decor 👍👍👍🌞🌻

The service and food were great. Fast, friendly service and very tasty dishes. Dogs are welcome here. Recommended!

I don't usually give one star because it's usually given out of spite for a bad experience, which is overall overrated for the overall experience. But the food here was the worst I've had in years. The seasoned meat was extremely bad in taste, fried potatoes were partly raw and partly burnt, vinegar was added to the carrot salad (why do you put vinegar in a carrot salad? That speaks to me that it is not freshly cooked here). And our cocktails were served warm and in juice glasses. Thank you for nothing, but this only targets tourists who won't come back.

A very atmospheric place. Very nice service. Unfortunately, the food was home-made, and considering the prices we expected something better. Viennese schbycel was an ordinary thick pork chop. A dish with beef and raisins - it should have multi-layered flavors, and the raisins gave sourness instead of sweetness. No possibility to pay by card

The worst bratwurst I've ever eaten. But hunger prevailed.

Good food, friendly service, always happy.

Food was super tasty. Price/performance ratio good. The service left something to be desired. Empty glasses were not put away. Apparently the dogs must be under the table... I didn't agree

Please note that no card payment is possible! This is clearly stated at the entrance and in the menu. Traditional dishes such as goulash, roulade or schnitzel are served here. The food comes quickly. We liked it, there should have been one more dumpling on our plate to fill us up. 😉 In terms of price, it was a little more expensive than the competition. The ambience was okay, a bit noisy due to the main street. We were satisfied with the visit and would come again.

Typical Saxon home cooking. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. Delicious food

Homemade food is advertised, so it could take longer. We had the Cordon Bleu once and the Wiener Schnitzel once. But it also went past that. The schnitzel is a run-of-the-mill frozen schnitzel with frozen peas and croquettes. The croquettes weren't even cooked through. It was the same with the Cordon Bleu, croquettes weren't cooked through, no sauces, just ketchup and mayo, although the mayo was also sour. The ambience was actually quite nice, but unfortunately the food wasn't recommended!

Just a dream, delicious and very friendly service, would love to come back!

It's a shame......Unfortunately we can only confirm the positive reviews to a limited extent. It is advertised that everything is freshly prepared. My wife and I had ordered Wiener Schnitzel, the schnitzel... well it was ok, but unfortunately only a little better than in a snack bar. The vegetables... the peas... something like that doesn't work, no taste . .....I was of the opinion that this came straight from the freezer bag, just warmed up briefly and then carelessly put on the plate with it, fries...they were ok so far...just put them next to it and schnitzel slapped on top as a garnish there was frozen herb butter. Well, it's more of a snack bar than a gourmet snack...and the ambience is in need of renovation The service to the guests...not to us...wasn't very friendly either... Last but not least, dear guests...be sure to read the first two pages of the menu...which we haven't read yet, even abroad like Spain France etc. we are responsible for packing the uneaten food...of course only when taken away ...a surcharge of 1 euro will be charged. Something like that is incomprehensible to us. But well, everyone should run their business as they want...we can't recommend the restaurant.

Very poor welcome, no effort to speak a minimum of English, the kitchen is supposed to close at 8:15 p.m. but at 7:50 p.m. they refuse to take you, and what's more, only cash is accepted.

Friendly and quick service. Eat good. Prices are okay. Central location on the market.

Good stop after a hike. Simple but tasty food. Unfortunately closed on Sunday, the best time.

Great food! Very friendly staff. Gladly again.

Highly recommended. The food tastes really good and fresh. Portions are sufficient according to the prices. Just right for a cozy evening. Also very friendly staff who are always attentive. Always worth a visit.

The food is very tasty as is the service You can only go on being very friendly Recommend 👍👍👍😋

Just good food. Like mother's or grandma's (for the younger ones), decent portions for a fair price. If you don't like frills (such as roasted Jerusalem artichokes with quince jelly) you've come to the right place. Soljanka is Soljanka and Königsberger Klopse is served with potatoes and caper sauce PUNKT.

The Königsberger Klopse taste like it used to be at Mom's! I can highly recommend it. The interior is also very cozy and the staff is incredibly nice and accommodating.

Regional cuisine and super nice staff. Price/performance ratio top. There's simply nothing to complain about. 👍👍👍

Very good restaurant with very good service! The food came quickly and tasted fantastic! Prices are normal!

The food was ok. The waitresses, however, were unwelcome, snippy and uninterested in their guests. For heaven's sake they spoke to her...I worked in service myself. Only cash is accepted. You can more than save yourself there. Uninspired, rude and bland. We as Saxons were ashamed of our Norwegian guests; hospitability is different.

Never had such bad curds before, unfortunately the seasoned meat was also very bad. A pity

The sauce for the dumplings, a poem. I would drink from cups.

The food was delicious. When it comes to staff, the older of the two employees got ripped off. The other was like the weather, extremely rude one moment, then okay after that. But not any more. We sat under the "annex", which had more of the charm of a snack bar.

Addendum regarding the comment from the owner of the "restaurant": The car was parked right next to her overpriced snack bar on the path that leads to the thermal baths and took the purchases to HER STORE!!! worn, on the side where the kitchen is and YOUR STAFF!!! brought in the cheap products. If you can't stand it and are embarrassed about offering poor quality food, then you probably shouldn't do it, unless the good & cheap products taste much better than what you can prepare. Besides, why should the supposedly "older neighbors" need crates of white Gut&Günstig canned food that you happen to offer in their snack bar?! It's disgusting how you can lie like that and not take responsibility for a clearly fraudulent business model! Looking for a place to stop, we happened to walk along the side entrance when new groceries were being delivered and it's all made from Gut&Günstig products! We were shocked when we saw the prices for the canned food afterwards! On top of that, conspiracy ideologies were represented and spread here during the Corona period!

Quaint but somehow it has something! Had bratwurst! Yummy! Enjoy your meal!

So if you want to go to Schlemmer Eck in the evening, don't be surprised that it's full and you have to wait outside until a table becomes available, I don't think it's a bad thing. But the food tasted really great ☺️ and the service was very nice and friendly despite the fact that it was full and they were busy. I can recommend the Schlemmer Eck to everyone.

Down-to-earth food without any frills, good, but not a highlight.

You have to eat this solyanka 😀 Great store... Eating better than at home ☝️ It was a pleasure. One of the must haves in Bad Schandau.

A restaurant like it was in GDR times, so the atmosphere is a bit rustic and sometimes very cramped. Choice of food is simple, not necessarily Saxon. Prices are rather high for what is on offer. No table reservations, so always a bit hectic at peak times. Staff could be friendlier and more attentive.

Delicious, delicious, delicious...food for the soul just like you know from mom or grandma...my beef roulade with red cabbage, sauce and potatoes was perfect. The meat was buttery soft, the sauce was perfectly seasoned...I was really happy to have such a good meal. My companion saw it the same way. She had schnitzel with potatoes and peas. The ambience was ok, we sat in the winter garden. The toilets were super clean. The waitress friendly, distant. The food came quickly and was definitely freshly prepared, you could taste it. We definitely recommend this restaurant and give it a well-deserved five stars.

Very unsympathetic staff. Food doesn't taste fresh and you had to pay extra for ketchup.

I can't give a star for the food. A children's meal with half the amount for 15.90 is outrageous. The normal dish costs €2 more. Fried potatoes cost €2 extra, which then comes to €19.90 for a boulette with peas and fried potatoes. The boulette consisted of so many rolls that it collapsed onto the plate. Never again... I can only warn. The only positive thing was the quick and friendly service.

For a short stop we had very tasty solyanka and penne. Service was friendly and quick. Keep it up.

Gute Speisenauswahl; schmackhafte, frisch zubereitete Speisen; akzeptable Preise; freundliches Personal, PS: unbedingt das "Kleingedruckte" lesen > KEINE Kartenzahlung (-:

Nice restaurant with good cuisine

Food to salty for our taste, but plenty. Very limited vegan options. Fish dish contained pork without beeing mentioned. Opening hours not posted at restaurant, not all dishes available 90min before closing, due to cook beeing tired. Service friendly but whiny and too apologetic. At least one other customer gave negative feedback, which was answered with a "nobody wants to work anymore" explanation. No option to pay cashless.

Good German cuisine. Portions could be a little larger. Rest completely OK

no card payment possible, service was short, very cramped as every available space was used; Canteen level food, albeit a large portion

Friendly service. Good quality tasting food dishes. Price:performance ratio is also right. Service offers quick service.

Great local food, nice service, warm home-like environment, the best dinner during my stay in Saxony!

Great beer, great traditional Saxon dishes, nice service

Great food and very friendly service, highly recommended.

A beautiful place with excellent service.The food was quick, warm, and very good. The prices are comparable to those in Germany. We were lucky to get the last table. It was the first day the garden was open, and it was a great experience. Thank you very much, we would love to come back.

I can't assess the quality because I refrained from visiting because of the "cash only" payment method. I'm going to Gambrinus now. It's a little more expensive there, but I don't pay cash like that anymore.

Rustic, quaint atmosphere. Great selection of regional dishes. Attentive and friendly service. Price performance ratio is good. If you want to try out traditional regional cuisine, you're in good hands here.

Food: Honest home cooking without a lot of fancy - simply delicious and more than enough. Service: There are no reservations - you come, sit down and are served very quickly. If everything is full, you wait in front of the door until a space becomes available, which never really takes long. In times when people prefer to preemptively reserve 3 restaurants and then simply not show up, this is refreshingly different and works great. The service is absolutely on the ball and always has an overview of who has recently arrived in the house, so that the menu is on the table within a very short time. Ambiance: Located on a corner, directly on the main street, the through traffic is massive and unfortunately audible. Therefore, unfortunately only three stars for the ambience, as the rest of the dining room is nicely furnished, but the visit shouldn't fail because of that :-)

Delicious traditional Saxon food. Great service, resonable prices.

The service was nice, funny and quick. The food came very quickly but the chef must have been in love. Fries and croquettes were completely over salted. The schnitzel and the stuffed schnitzel, however, were perfect! I've never had salted croquettes before, but so we drank one more beer. Otherwise, good, simple, homemade, delicious cuisine. 👍🏻

Cozy restaurant, friendly service, no long wait and the food was very tasty

It was a delicious, home made food. We didn't need to wait long.

Food was very good and staff very friendly. Otherwise you feel like you've been transported back 30 years.

Great delicious food 😋 Home cooking and the service was nice and friendly. Can only be recommended

Good home-style food. The service was good, the food was really tasty...Thank you very much. Don't forget; Only cash payment is possible here!!!!

Probably the best restaurant in all of Bad Schandau. Very tasty food and always friendly staff!

Good home cooking and friendly service. A bit noisy because it's right on the main street, but you'll know that when you stop there.

Unfortunately it is on the thoroughfare. So nothing with a nice atmosphere. Since we were sitting inside, the volume was fine. In our opinion, it is no longer appropriate for us to only be able to pay in cash. But the food was delicious and filling. Just saw it on the bill: The second dish is called Rostbrädl

The Saxon cuisine was super delicious. We were there over Easter. The restaurant was very busy, so there was a bit of a wait. But that was completely okay. Operator & service very friendly and attentive. Thank you.

Best mashed potato I’ve ever had in my life

A very nice restaurant with a nice view of the market square (depending on where you sit) Food was very good and the staff is very friendly. Low waiting times. We were personally lucky enough to get to know the boss, who also took the time to have a nice chat.

You have to wait a little longer but the food was very good and the prices were reasonable.
