Schloss Bräustüberl Hohenschwangau in Schwangau

Update: Had to deduct one star from 2 for the outrageous response to my review. The insinuation that I feel the need to write bad reviews from multiple accounts just because another comment that day was bad is really the height of it. NEVER AGAIN! A rather disappointing experience... The beer (wheat beer) didn't taste much at night, but the AMERON lemonade was very good. The starter was quite good, salad dressing tasted good, but was probably something ready-made. The “cream mushrooms” were mushrooms in a sauce from the ready-made package. The trout tasted very good, but the portion for 25€??? The waitress never asked if the food was good or not. When we politely asked her when we were paying that the food wasn't good or enough, she probably got too stupid because she just left without saying a word and rolling her eyes. So the food from the pictures wasn't worth €65. Doesn't have to happen again.

Service is awful… I was waiting for my pre-order more than 1 hour. We ordered in advance! The meal is disgusting… DO NOT RECOMMEND!

We had a pre-order for food and needed to wait more than 40 minutes to start eating because they were not ready 🤷‍♂️

We pre-ordered food for our group but had to wait over 30 minutes, and unfortunately, the dishes were not tasty. I do NOT recommend this place!

Service is bad, food is mediocre. There was a very long wait for the food to be served. The only thing I liked was the apple strudel.

Tourist trap! Creamy chanterelles are champions with knorr packets and the dumpling is also out of the packet. Too little and too expensive for just under €20. Obatzta was ok, but too expensive for €10. The trout fillet was very, very small and measly for €25, but the taste of the dish was good. Service was good at first because everything was empty, but in the end it was very mushy and intrusive - we had to reorder and actively asked for a tip. The homemade lemonade was actually very good. Conclusion: 65€ and we went straight to the next restaurant, tourist trap, means once and never again

Bavarian restaurant located between the two castles. Fast service and good food. Fair prices given the context.

Very good authentic food and the service was excellent.

The service tried hard, but the food was not served according to the menu, not according to the price and was also overpriced, long waiting times.

The food is overpriced, we were absolutely disappointed. The potato dumplings were tasteless and the consistency was very questionable. Unfortunately, the cheese spaetzle weren't a hit either.

A large pillared hall with large tables. It's clocky there. With friendly service and you won't be ripped off with the prices despite the perfect location. 0.5 drink is €5.

1 star because zero not possible I arrived with my wife while another couple was leaving, when asked to the waiter he told us that we have to wait. In the meanwhile another client arrived and took a place, another couple arrived after us and the same waiter give them place in front of us. It is a cold weather outside but after 20 min we preferred to leave that colder welcome, I took the picture just to remember to not come back

Well suited for large parties (we were 200 guests).

I can't understand some of the criticism. We had goulash soup and a sausage salad, everything was delicious. Nice conditions, keep it up. Glad you exist!

The food was very tasty. We had sausage salad and goulash soup. The staff was nice and we can recommend the place...

We ordered the half chicken with potato salad and it was really good! (16.50 euros) I think the place is underrated and does not deserve at all a 3.5. I would highly recommend eating here, at least lunch.

Okay as a tourist spot. Service semi-friendly, food Kaiserschmarn was okay, but not a mega highlight

Awesome place to get some schnitzel!

Excellent Bavarian cuisine! Polite waiters and fast service. Convenient for a family or a small group. Good wheat beer!

We have eaten there. There were three of us and we shared a table with two people. The sirloin was delicious and the potato was mixed with onion. The waitress has been very attentive.

We had a fantastic dinner at Schloss Bräustüberl Hohenschwangau and like others cannot understand the previous negative reviews. We wandered up from our hotel and weren't sure we would get a table as they were busy and we didn't have a booking but they made space for us. Our waitress Tünde was attentive, prompt and polite and we had a fantastic meal with delicious beers! Would highly recommend!

Good morning, We are very satisfied with our stay here and the meal, everything was very good. The welcome was also there: in fact there had been a small problem with our reservation via the hotel, but after checking by showing the email received that it was indeed this restaurant, we were seated no problem whatever. This partly justifies the tip I left, the amount of which I was able to determine myself on the TPE when paying by card. Finally the Bavarian atmosphere was present with a concert in progress during our meal. Xavier

Unfortunately, once again a gastronomic place that wants to be more than it is. For dinner there, in the wake of day-to-day business, which certainly takes a toll on the staff and the kitchen team, rather carelessly and listlessly run and trimmed to mass. Unadorned, rather gloomy guest room, although the service team is attentive, looks thrown together and unloving from the outside. Schnitzel with fries and salad was generally good, the roast pork with potato dumplings was rather insulting...it really could be better. In itself, for the classification of the gastronomy, it is more of a minus in the direction of thinking about it. Please separate day and evening business for the enjoyment of hotel guests or visitors remaining on site. More class instead of quantity.

It’s hard to believe this place has received low reviews, as our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. After a long drive, we stumbled upon the restaurant while searching for a washroom. Ivan, who greeted us warmly, graciously helped us, knowing we weren’t there to dine at the time. His kindness left such an impression that we returned for dinner after visiting the castle, and it was the best decision we made. We ordered traditional Bavarian dishes, and each bite was bursting with flavor—we only regretted not ordering more! With six of us at the table, Ivan’s hospitality stood out above all. Despite the restaurant nearing closing time, he never rushed us. In fact, he made our evening even more special with small souvenirs, which were a heartwarming gesture. The kindness Ivan displayed will stay with us, and neither his hospitality nor this wonderful restaurant will be forgotten! If you’re ever in the area, don’t miss the chance to experience this gem.

Our experience here was really positive and I simply cannot explain such low ratings here! The meals were tasty, portions were not small. The food we got quickly and service was also good. We had Goulaschsuppe, Schnitzel "Wiener Art" and Kaiserschmarrn. And it costs not too much. Especially I liked the Kaiserschmarrn, it was sooo tasty! If we visit the castle and lake again, I am sure, we come back here also.

My fiancée and I stopped here for a light dinner during our brief stay in Schwangau. The Schnitzel "Wiener Art" and pommes frittes were flavorful and filling, and the Almcreme dessert was delicious - we highly recommend saving room. The Kellner was extremely patient and helpful, as we still struggle with basic Deutsch, and his helpfulness is what brings this review up to 5-stars. Vielen Dank!

Das ist keine gute Küche und schon gar nicht bayerisch. Käspätzle sahen grau aus und nicht frisch gemacht weiß Gott wo die herkamen . Schweinebraten war nicht mal richtig aufgewärmt. Die Preise für sowas übertrieben. Rundum nicht zu empfehlen.

The Obatzda was very good, the pretzel was fresh and the salad was beautifully presented with a delicious dressing and pumpkin seeds, croutons and cress. The beers are cold and very well poured, the tables are always wiped down, the service is really quick and friendly, and the dog is also brought fresh water. The view of 2 castles at the same time is incredibly beautiful. It doesn't get any better. I can't understand the bad reviews.

The food tastes good. The portion size of the pork crust roast was good, the knuckles were too small and they also charged 2.50 euros for extra sauce. That's pretty bold. The portion of the Kaiserschmarrn should have been larger for 13.50 euros. And then also 12.00 euros for parking. You don't have to go out of the country to get ripped off. I won't be coming back to Fussen in such conditions to see the sights, to give the tourists a drift. Not only tourists but also locals and that sort of thing is not great. You're no longer willing to give a good drink money when for everything allowed to pay extra!!!!!!.

It's a nice beer garden, the service was friendly and nice. But opinions differ when it comes to food. The roast pork had almost no sauce. I politely complained about this to the service team. He came out of the kitchen and said he had to pay 2 euros for it. That's a disgrace from the kitchen. The roast pork was a very, very dry affair and you could hardly eat it. We won't come anymore. At most to drink a beer. But no longer for eating.

Beer garden with a balanced menu. The white sausages were very good and the Kaiserschmarren was also delicious. Service extremely friendly and experienced. We also didn't wait long for our food.

Was only there to have a drink. But that only worked very poorly. Mass processing! Men should reduce their demands to a minimum.

Had lunch here during a trip to Neuschwanstein Castle. The place as busy but the waitress was friendly and efficient and I got a table after a short wait. I ordered the local sausage and wheat bier. Both were good. Service was fast and efficient. A good option for meals in the area.

Very good, tasty food, with one exception the waiters seemed very stressed

Hello, the restaurant has a great location and the service was very friendly and on the ball. Food came very quickly as did the drinks. The only point of criticism was that the fried onions in our cheese spaetzle were very soft and very mushy. Price/performance was a bit disappointing in this regard. But otherwise everything was great.

No, that was nothing. Service unfriendly and not very committed. Food arrived after less than 2 minutes, which doesn't bode well. Potato salad ok, bratwurst boring and nothing special. But the prices are totally outrageous.

Simply poor quality food… sorry, there’s nothing to sugarcoat here… I can't remember ever eating such a bad schnitzel

Unfortunately not recommended. The food was disastrous. We had cream mushrooms with bread dumplings - that was everything but bread dumplings!!!, Viennese style schnitzel - the schnitzel was just bad!!! and roast pork - meat OK, but never had such bad dumplings. The staff just seemed stressed, even though the store wasn't necessarily full. They weren't flexible enough to make separate invoices for our group (5 people, 2 receipts requested).

It is very convenient to have lunch here after visiting the Swan Castle. It should be the choice of most tourists, so the business is very good and almost full. It also happened to rain and it rained a lot during the meal. The food tastes good, and it is a short break for a meal. Good choice.

We had drinks and icecream outside. We were joined by ALOT of wasps (the kids made a trap for them).

Two salads, a 25cl mini bottle of water (open) and a non-alcoholic beer, for a total of €39.7. Dirty place, full of flies

The atmosphere with the musicians was nice but the prices were like those of a tourist site: very low value for money. The little extra: when you pay by card, they automatically add €5 in tips, taking care not to show the terminal... Carry your sandwiches

Hello, unfortunately I was disappointed. Visually chic, I imagined typical German Bavarian cuisine. I got a snack or 0815 canteen. You can pay the price, but not for this quality. Just under €15 for a bratwurst like from Aldi and a potato salad from a bucket. The price-performance ratio is not right despite the ambience. The schnitzel also looked like an outdoor pool snack. Obadzter with salad for €10 was ok. Roast pork looked very good.

I was taught to always start a review with something positive. Accordingly; The location of the beer garden is really pretty. But that's where the positive impressions end. The staff was incredibly unfriendly. The beer we ordered was poured onto the table with such force that almost half of it spilled over. The tables were not wiped and there were no fresh dishes on the tables. The food was acceptable. The white sausages were okay, although I have never seen bad white sausages anywhere. The pretzels were soggy and definitely not fresh. The cheese spaetzle tasted like the ones you can buy out of a bag at REWE for €2.50 and the onions were soft and not crispy. Overall, I definitely can't recommend this. It's better to go to Schwangau and eat there, you can get more and better food there for the same price.

I didn't pay a tip. Choosing a tip is a great way to play in times like this. Even though I got stung by a bee, she didn't care. That's heartless. They just kept coming and asking ‘Are you finished?’ and never once pretended to know if it was okay. Unfriendly reviews have no effect. He seemed a little nervous when I told him I wouldn't give him a tip. I also don't recommend this place. The location is very good, but If possible, I recommend going somewhere else. The food is not good, but the service is the worst...

We were nervous (for no good reason) about trying this place and our experience was outstanding- all of the German food options we tried were outstanding including the fish, the Spätzle and the schnitzel - and we are now huge fans of pretzel salad!

Quite OK, but nothing more. We initially sat outside, unfortunately there were so many wasps there that we preferred to go inside. The ambience inside is not nice at all. It sounds and smells extremely like old beer. It is also very dark. We ate the Obatzer with a pretzel and the Wiener Schnitzel. Unfortunately the pretzel was very dry and hard. Otherwise the platter was very tasty and sufficient. The portion of the Wiener Schnitzel was okay, could be larger. But the food came very quickly. The cutlery is in jugs on the tables, unfortunately there were only spoons on our table. Since there was no service nearby for minutes, we had to walk from table to table and collect our cutlery while our food was already there...

Expensive chip shop, restaurant?

Tourist venue located halfway between the two castles. Good dishes, but not exceptional. Personally I found it expensive, but in line with prices in the surrounding area. Friendly and helpful staff. Informal environment.

unfriendly, just places in the sun.

They did not take my order despite me waiting patiently and trying to make some polite signsls, but immediately took orders from people who came after me. I just walked out...

Choose wisely: you are in a tourist location where the customer is used to fund the house's finances. I had my first doubt when I saw the note on the card only in English "charged service not included". American friends, you have been warned. In Germany as in many countries, the service is included... And should be specified.... 2nd clue when the glass of beer was served, half filled with foam. It turns out that I don't particularly like drinking foam. The waitress replaced it for me without batting an eyelid. Judging from the many beers served around me, this half-quantity practice was well established. 3rd surprise: I was tempted by seasonal chanterelle pasta. Surprise, the chanterelles have transformed into button mushrooms. It's not the same price: €4 versus €25 for chanterelles. This didn't seem to surprise the waiter who assured me that it was certainly because the kitchen didn't have any chanterelles. However, he offered me a coffee as compensation since he couldn't do anything about the price🫢 Besides, for US friends, the service was included 😉 So consumer friends: a bird forewarned is worth two.

The label on the water bottle was moldy or had mildew stains. After asking for a mold-free bottle, we were given a bottle with fewer mold stains. Obazden was ok but probably not homemade, the sausage salad didn't really look fresh.

Great food. I'm confused why this place has such low ratings

While waiting for the visit to the castle we stopped for a beer, which was really excellent. Prices and pub food, water aside which costs more than 0.75l beer for €7

Update summer 2024... the service is friendly and we ordered several beers, all of which came to the table only half full... At the third beer we said something, after all it costs over five euros there and the waitress brought us new ones without any problem... the waiter behind the counter should see something like that before he gives it out... if I pay 0.5, I want to I also have 0.5😉We were there yesterday 2023 for a morning pint, with live music, we really enjoyed it, the service was A1 and we had a great day, thank you👍 see you soon🥨🍺

Let me use the toilets even though I wasn’t a customer and the bathrooms were great.

A great Bavarian restaurant. Great atmosphere and delicious food.

Beautiful beer garden with a view of Hohenschwangau, food is great, Bavarian delicacies. Service top.

Nice atmosphere, but that's where it ends. Staff unfriendly and disorganized! The wait for drinks is considerable and the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Definitely not a recommendation!

Next to an Alpine lake Neuschwanstein Castle Visitor Center is very close Opposite you can see Hohenschwangau Castle The salad is delicious but the main dish feels a bit salty

We sat in the brewery in the evening. On Sunday afternoon the waiting time was too long. Food was solid. Compared to other pubs in the region, this falls short. We had the schnitzel once for adults and for children. There was no difference to be seen. But in terms of price. The Ameron concept in Neuschwanstein benefits from international tourism. In terms of quality, the hotel and restaurant have the character of a conference hotel.

Small beer garden with live music. Unfortunately I think it's a bit overpriced. You can tell that they mostly go after American and Asian tourists because they pay no matter how expensive it is.

Warm beer on a warm day. No thanks, and after we complained, they just put ice in Radler. You generally don't feel welcome right from the start. The staff are indifferent and rather bored or annoyed. It's a real shame, because you want to start your vacation in such a beautiful place in a better way.

Can't quite understand the bad reviews. It is a beer garden where classic food is served like in a beer garden. If you keep this in mind when making your choice, you won't be disappointed. The potato and cucumber salad was homemade and so was the lemonade. The view is great. Perfect for a day in the sun.

Service weak, food careless and small portions

Typical Bavarian brewery in a strategic area for visiting the castles of Bavaria

The beer garden is close to the bus stop for Neuschwanstein Castle and has a nice, inviting atmosphere. The food is also good and the shandy is particularly recommended. What unfortunately has to be criticized is the slow service. First of all, the wait before you are assigned a table and then the service at the table. However, if you have some time, it's not a problem.

Nice here. Maybe use not to rush hour time

We just went for a drink. For the price the service was subpar. 2 out of 5 drinks ordered came to the table correctly. Not a word of apology - a shame ☹️

You can get a table with views of both castles. Skip lunch (it is fine) and enjoy great desserts (Almcreme is creme brulée with awesome cherries, apple strudel is also great). Ask for the Apricot Scnapps (Marillenschnaps); you're welcome. :)

Food was quite good. It was my first time trying Bavarian cuisine. Service was quick and efficient. My waitress was nice. And of course the design of the buildings and the castles and mountains are a nice vibe.

3 people, staff in the beer garden and all 3 busy with the TV for the audience viewing. After 10 minutes of asking the nice lady behind the counter whether we could order something, she spoke to her colleague who was responsible for service. This gentleman (with the tattooed arm) then said to her "I'll serve you straight away, we're not at McDonald's". The lady was very uncomfortable and apologized to us. VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. We weren't the only ones who left the beer garden. A couple came after us, they also had to watch as 3 waitresses made sure that the TV was properly viewed, and they also left the beer garden. That's not how you treat guests. The three of them have clearly missed their job.

Very bad service in the beer garden. We were able to order a maximum of one drink, which was delivered to us, after which no service employee was ever seen at the table again. According to the motto, table number 95 will not be served today. Table service clearly gets 0 stars here. The food is just pretty to look at on the menu, what you get at the end is available in every snack bar for a third of the price. (Bratwurst with Hoxxxn potato salad for €14.50. The schnitzel was as dry as the sole of a shoe for €19.50... 100m further is the Müller restaurant, where service is still alive and the food is excellent.

I chose to dine here because of the rain. I was a little surprised. The food tasted very good and the desserts were also great! Purely personal opinion! 2024/06/05

Everything was perfect, the food came quickly and the service was also very friendly.

Delicious! We had the pretzel with Camembert cheese, the mushroom stew with a dumpling, and the pork medallions. The pretzel is served cold but was still good. Our server was excellent & attentive. A bit overpriced but to be expected at an attraction like the castles.

the schnitzel was as big as my hand (my hand is not big) and the waitress was pretty rude. My friend had the bratwurst, which cost €14 and tasted like frozen

Nice beer garden, good food and reasonable prices.

I was rather unimpressed with this restaurant. The waiter was very unfriendly and not welcoming at all. The restaurant felt a bit like a place in a train station. I had a Wurstsalat that was rather bland, the sausage was swimming in a really taste-free thin sauce, garnished with half a tomato and some parsley. The place is basically a tourist-feeding station - I cannot recommend it at all, not worth the prices they have.

Well the food is honestly not that good, I ate pork loin 🙈 It was very dry and the mushroom cream sauce was very thin, unfortunately I only found one mushroom in the sauce. It's really not recommended 😔

A typical national home restaurant. I recommend dark beer and goulash!

Very good typical Bavarian food

amazing staff, food and views. Thanks.

There is more ambience in a train station than in a brewery. We sat inside in the draft even though we would have liked to sit outside in the sun. But only drinks outside! The staff was friendly and the food wasn't bad either, but compared to, for example, the Schlossbrauhaus in Schwangau - only 2 km away - this is a tourist rip-off at overpriced prices.

You are not allowed to eat outside in the beer garden and inside it is loud like a train station.

Shop in front of Noi Tourism Center

Zero patience and 100% rudes. Avoid this place, you'll thank me later :)

Schloss Bräustüberl Hohenschwangau, or Hohenschwangau Brewery Inn, is located near Hohenschwangau Castle in Bavaria, Germany.

The area around this place is amazing. But the restaurant offers a combination of bad food and bad service. Not recommend at all!

A service that is good to some and bad to others. They seemed friendly to other tables, but they didn't come to our table and were unfriendly from start to finish. Just because you're in a hotel, don't expect the same level of service as a hotel. It was very uncomfortable while eating.

Food good, but rather expensive! Service unfortunately not satisfactory... some of the staff are unfriendly and seem overwhelmed

We stopped there today on our bike tour. It looked very inviting. But the stay wasn't very optimal. The beer garden was 2/3 full but the service couldn't keep up. Some of them weren't particularly friendly either and were totally overwhelmed and uncoordinated. We waited 20 minutes until a waiter came when we called. One waiter was constantly in a bad mood and took it out on his colleagues. Which in my opinion is not possible at all. The food was great and the atmosphere is also very nice. But for us there will definitely not be a second time. Mistakes can happen, that's for sure, but being unkind is not acceptable. And what do you want to do when the store is full?

Food was great, atmosphere a bit touristy. I missed the beer garden flair. But Bavarian cuisine is highly recommended!

Echte bierkelder aan de voet van Schloss Hohenschwangau. Oktoberfestsfeer in het klein. Bij one drank genoten we van een echte MUncher Weisswurdt met Brezel. Vlotte en vriuendelijke bediening

If you like schnitzel stay away!!!!

Considering that it is next to tourist attractions, I consider it as a pleasant place with good food (even better than average).

Not sure why this place such low ratings. We had great German food in a cozy setting, and the staff were super friendly! Very good value, and can highly recommend coming here!

The food was really good. Service was very nice and accommodating.

We felt very comfortable. Price/performance totally ok. Very nice service.
