Schwabengarten in Leinfelden-Echterdingen

There were over 40 of us and we played curling and of course we went out to party afterwards. One of us invited a waitress to have a “short drink”, which she was actually happy about, although her colleague was probably a bit jealous which is why he had one Our friends who invited the waitress for a drink, constantly ran into his feet, and repeatedly provoked him as he walked past with words: “There is no room here, you have to stand at the counter the whole time, go somewhere else”. Physical contact such as pushing or pushing from the waiter also annoyed our friend at some point, which led to an unpleasant discussion. The waiter said “go away, find another place” he probably didn’t know that there were around 40 of us there. They tried to calm the situation with the managing director that evening and tried to explain to him that the waiter had started the argument and that there were actually 40 of us here. Since a colleague of ours was supposed to leave the store, we said that we would also leave the garden, to which the manager said that evening "everyone go away." He probably doesn't care about the customers. We all went there. Yes, we even rented a bus to visit the Schwaben Garten, and we were there the year before and were actually quite happy with everything. Now this garden has lost us as customers and we will not put up with this unfriendly treatment. Sad as the “boss” of the evening where to deal with her customers. And the waiter weakly ruined the evening for a whole group of 40 people because of jealousy. We stick together and don't leave any of our colleagues behind. The Schupfnudeln were delicious, The ambience itself is good, but service and dealing with the customer is only in your own interest...

Food was good but the selection was very limited. Atmosphere very Christmassy and great with the campfire. I can highly recommend it for Christmas parties

Great experience garden Nice staff Good and varied program in summer and winter

The atmosphere of the winter village is very nice. However, our meat dish was quite oversalted. But I would still come back because of the ambience.

We were there with around 45 people and celebrated our son's first birthday with a larger group. From the reception through the entire event to billing, everything was perfect. Short-term special requests such as additional tables, changes to the pre-ordered dishes, etc. were not only gladly implemented, the employees were also available to help us. The service was always friendly and very attentive even though the hut was full of guests (unfortunately it was rainy outside) and other large reservations. Of course, we knew the menu in advance because we had been to Winterdörfle several times. But: we didn't know the hut boards and we were surprised at how wonderfully they were prepared, brought to the table and presented. The variety of food on the boards was amazing, all the guests were thrilled and there was something for everyone, from babies to grandpas. The selection of drinks is generally great in this location. If we now look back at the overall package, price and performance were absolutely in harmony, the atmosphere couldn't have been nicer and the birthday couldn't have been more perfect. We would do everything exactly the same again! Thank you for everything

We held our Christmas party here. That was the worst Christmas party I've ever been to. We were in a large hut, it was so cold in there that we all had to keep our jackets on. It hasn't gotten any warmer over time. We girls were all dressed up because none of us were expecting it. A snowsuit would have been better. Nobody imagines a Christmas party like this. We sat close together (in our winter jackets) on beer benches with backrests so that everyone had to get up if someone had to get out. The food was good, but there was too little and it wasn't refilled. Sorry, but that was nothing. The hut urgently needs to be insulated and equipped with heating. Beer benches with backrests are also very impractical here. It was just uncomfortable. Too bad.

We went curling with 16 people. What fun👍👍👍

Food was cold, prices were outrageous, you only got large water if you ordered a bottle of wine, which you then had in your hand because the tables and glasses were cleared away at 9 p.m. because they wanted dance floors, concept of the new Schwabengarten, me I've been in this beer garden since the first hour, but that hasn't happened to me yet, it's a shame

We had food for 14 people, something for everyone that is currently available in the Schwabengarten. It was a lot and was very good. There is something for everyone and the price is okay too. We stayed in a hut the whole time and it was beautifully decorated. The various mulled wines are also delicious, but I think the price is a little expensive. It's just very crowded there. Still, it was a nice evening.

Beautiful and atmospheric ambience as long as you are outdoors. Horrible and far too loud Ballermann music in the ski hut. You can't have a conversation and listen to that horrible "Laila" song - still? The only thing even worse is the food! Too bad! The outside area is really beautiful.

Aggressive Service, cold food, super expensive drinks, tables have been removed without any warning. No information in confirmation mail or somewhere else. Boss ment I should make myself familiar on the website, not my business to deal with that. Owner needs to inform me upfront - even that we had a larger group of 30+ people. If you want some beergarden or Xmas market experience go somewhere else

Unprofessional staff who become violent. Food cold, prices exorbitant. Tables are cleared away randomly. Possible solutions to the table problem are not worked out and are punished with expulsion - not recommended. Especially not in the winter village.

Tables for 35 people were reserved. There was no comment in the confirmation about limited use of the tables + benches. Therefore, we were very surprised when we were informed about this. After a brief clarification, the "boss" from yesterday evening approached us and became loud and disrespectful. At 9 p.m. there is no more seating and at 8:20 p.m. a table with full glasses was simply pulled away from the guests. The other tables were ignored until then. The "boss", who so aggressively pulled the table away, then became violent with a guest and justified his actions as "escorting him out"! Absolutely not correct - over 20 people observed him looking at the guest from behind. In addition, the "boss" embellished the conversation several times and portrayed it completely incorrectly; there are also many earwitnesses to this who heard what was actually said. It's also very unprofessional when the "boss" tries to justify his behavior with his personal biography. That doesn't matter at all in this context! He also couldn't resist saying that we should thank him for allowing us to use the hut, since we would actually have been in a different hut. (strange that the reservation email said something completely different!) The behavior was never justified or appropriate in any situation. But the “boss” really enjoyed putting himself above the guests in his role and bragging about his abilities. He probably didn't think it made sense to have the opportunity to act professionally and have an adult conversation in order to find a solution for the large group. It's not worth talking about the prices and quality of the food. The owner's other locations have a completely different standard.

Lisa is the best woman in the world!

Just totally overpriced, ambience is ok. Everything is very much geared towards commerce. There are many alternatives in the area

Winter village nice hut feeling Service super nice but after 2 hours despite reservations for 30 people the announcement in 30 minutes only standing room, tables and benches are gone and there is no more service because everything is made free for dancing. I wasn't even allowed to have my drink and my bag was a total no go. The maestro in charge said that if you made a reservation you would know (how) there wasn't a single syllable of it in the email. Well, you just have to have experiences. Oh, food is scary

We spent our Christmas party here and felt very comfortable. This is hospitality at the highest level.

I had a Christmas party there, the atmosphere was great. It was decorated as a winter village and had wooden huts everywhere. I had a goulash soup with farmer's bread that was really good. The tarte flambée, however, was more of a thick pizza in tarte flambée style. The toilets were very clean and tidy. All in all it was great and would recommend it.

Drinks very expensive and lukewarm e.g. Hot Aperol and Hot Lillet, red sausage and fire sausage together 12 euros, lukewarm and inedible

Concept and ambience good. I think the prices are excessive. 10.50 for a red sausage (probably German top, even in the English garden much cheaper). The service: arrogant, inflexible and derisive. You spend over 150 euros and the gentlemen don't turn on the patio heater after repeated requests. "Only from nine, we just have to wait that long - grin. It has to last 4 hours, we won't turn it on at 1930." 70% of the tables empty, but reserved (good, that was to be expected. So...) Reserved for when? In about an hour. We've long since left. NO, you are not allowed to sit down. Understood. Ciao. Btw: 200 m further is a great Irish pub.😜

The food quality is very poor: old nuggets, uncooked rice, etc. The prices are too high. 15 euros for tarte flambée? Craziness. The lady at the mulled wine stand is aggressive and wants to lecture others.

Völlig überteuerte Preise der Speisen im Außenbereich. Der ec-Automat auf dem Gelände hat die Karte ohne Grund eingezogen, anscheinend nicht das erste Mal an diesem Abend. Problem ist dem Personal des Schwabengartens bekannt, wird aber ignoriert. Service sieht anders aus.

Average service, average place, food not bad. However, prices are above average..

We were there for curling and only consumed drinks. Unfortunately, the smoke from the fire for the stick bread drifted into the curling lanes, so after two hours we were well smoked.

Solid visit with light and shadow” We recently went to Schwabengarten and overall had a decent evening, but there were both positive and less pleasant points. The atmosphere is pleasant and invites you to linger, especially when the weather is good. The beer garden atmosphere is really successful, and the selection of food and drinks is varied. We particularly liked the selection of local beers. Unfortunately the food was just average. The portions were sufficient, but we weren't impressed with the taste - a lot of things seemed rather carelessly prepared. The service was okay, but seemed overwhelmed in places, which led to longer waiting times. Conclusion: A nice place for a casual evening, but with room for improvement in the food and service.

Wir hatten unser Firmenweihnachtsfeier zusammen mit dem Eisstockschießen gebucht. Location, Essen und Getränke bestens. Gerne wieder

Went here for lunch with a couple who were friends of ours. Prices are OK so far. There are enough parking spaces.

Music is TERRIBLE ! Make an effort seriously !

Unfortunately the food was ice cold by the time it came to the table. The service that brought the drinks was very friendly. We knew that at 9 p.m. our seating area would be turned into a party area, but we didn't expect how unfriendly it would be

A beautiful place. Currently really great Christmas decorations/lighting, a great ambience.

Winter villages are simply a great thing

I celebrated my 60th birthday in Winterdörfle. We rented the valley station for 18 people. Everything worked out great and the meal “Von alles Ebbes” served on a wooden board was a real highlight for my guests. Everyone was thrilled. The heaters were even activated upon request. Great location for a celebration. Any time

Very nice atmosphere. Small fire pits everywhere to warm up. Cozy seating with fur and candles. Cabins with sofas and fireplaces are also available, furnished with attention to detail. There is delicious mulled wine as well as cold drinks. Unfortunately there is a small deduction for food. Everything was very tasty and there was a large selection, but a bit too expensive for my taste. But absolutely recommended with family/friends or work!

We celebrated our wedding in the WinterdörfLE and it was simply overwhelming and beautiful!! The location is fantastic, so much attention to detail!! The food and drinks left nothing to be desired!!! It's self-service and our guests celebrated it! Absolutely recommended. Thank you ❤️

Der Schwaben/Wintergarten von der Atmosphäre sehr schön. Essen und Getränke eine Katastrophe. Die verkaufen dir fertige Rote Würste, die wer weiß wie lange schon im Topf liegen und dann nur kurz noch auf den Elektrogrill kommen zum aufwärmen. 5,50€! Sorry, aber eine Frechheit. Glühwein und andere Heissgetränke werden in kalten Tassen serviert. Dh der Glühwein ist lauwarm und nach ca 3 Minuten eiskalt. Auch für 5,00€. Die Flammkuchen sind gekauft und werden dann belegt. Uff 14,50!!! Sorry, finde es eigentlich sehr schön hier. Aber wahrscheinlich bringen wir beim nächsten Mal unsere Getränke und Essen selber mit im Rucksack.

Nice open area, has an extra motorcycle parking space. The staff was friendly and the food was delivered quickly for pickup. It also tasted very good.

Nice place to have a drink in summer

A magical place for company celebrations. Everything just fits here.

The company summer party was really great

Great place with traditional German food and beer.

Beer garden with charm, great furnishings and nice staff. When I was there there was live music (country music), even though it's not my style of music, I really liked the whole concept.

Unfriendly staff. Opening times are not observed

The Schwabengarten put together a fantastic event for our work group get-together. Everything was wonderful, from the cabin setting, the timing and organization, the layout of the buffet and tables, the food and drinks, and the service. The whole event ran so smoothly, all we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves. Our group included around 35 adults and 15 children, and both the parents and children appreciated the playground. The food was delicious, the pretzels and chicken wings being favorites, as well as the beautiful fresh fruits. Everyone had a fantastic time! Highly recommend the Schwabengarten, for small or large groups. It is a large, welcoming, fun spot, located right on the train line.

Very tasty food, nice staff. Parking options directly on site. We would love to come back 👍🏻

Super tasty. Very nice atmosphere. Great location!!

We celebrated our silver wedding anniversary with 50 guests in the Schwabenalm. The Alm is a great location, the team was friendly, attentive, flexible and uncomplicated. We booked the package with a BBQ grill buffet and didn't regret it. The food was plentiful and very tasty. Our guests were happy and so were we. Thank you Schwabengarten team 👍

Really nice open beer garden very close to a U-bahn stop. Good selection of beers on draft and a good selection of very affordable swabian meals (currywurst, white sausage, schneitzel, etc)

Wir haben unsere Silberhochzeit mit 50 Gästen in der Schwabenalm gefeiert. Die Alm ist eine tolle Location, das Team war freundlich, aufmerksam, flexibel und unkompliziert. Wir haben die Pauschale mit einem BBQ Grillbuffet gebucht und haben es nicht bereut. Das Essen war reichlich und sehr lecker. Unsere Gäste waren glücklich und somit waren wir es auch. Danke Schwabengarten Team 👍

Super nice beer garden with plenty of space and a nice playground for children! We liked the food very much, although the price was a little higher than in other beer gardens, but the portions were also decent. We'll definitely be back!

Tollstes Ambiente und sehr sehr gutes Essen! Bester Biergarten in der Umgebung, auch für Kinder! Man muss mal dort gewesen sein!

Great food and nice ambience, the best place for sunny days!

My friend ate Wiener Schnitzel with potato salad and he liked it. The portion was large. I only ate fries… The selection for vegetarians is already weak, but there is nothing for vegans… We were there during the week and there was no tarte flambée. Children's playground has become smaller (than it used to be) and is more intended for small children. There were no free parking spaces. Very nice, discreet and helpful service who picked up our plates and glasses. The lady in the checkout wasn't really nice. Ambient, cyclists and price ok.

Sehr netter Service, mit äußerst leckerem Essen, kann man nur weiter empfehlen. Ambiente auch perfekt und groß, ebenso perfekt für Kinder und coole Events.

From the food to the service, everything was top

Nice beer garden with good food. Ambience good, unfortunately no lawn.

Very nice beer garden, self-service, but friendly staff serving drinks and food. Food is comparatively expensive compared to other beer gardens with similar offerings. Food is overall okay. There are many different seating options and live music is offered on various days throughout the summer months.

Well-located beer garden in the middle of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, lots of space, rustic and authentic furnishings. Previous reviews almost discouraged us from visiting, but we were disabused of it. Modern pagers inform you when the food can be picked up, the optimal solution. The drinks section is actually well solved, but is initially quite confusing for strangers. Drink selection very modern and varied. The food was excellent, the meat was optimally cooked/fried, the ingredients and side dishes were coordinated, modern and attractively presented. It's a shame: When we visited it was a themed evening, the music only half matched the theme, the associated decorations were rather sporadic and were taken down well before the end of the day.

Nice atmospheric place. Order delicious food and then pick it up at one of the stalls. Food was also very tasty. Nice playground for the kids and delicious beer on tap. (Ideal for families with children)

Very large and beautifully landscaped beer garden with self-service. Also suitable for meetings of clubs or similar societies.

Large beer garden with children's playground. The food is good. The prices normal.

Unfortunately, the prices are a complete impudence, if at least the ambience would be right or the quality was special... but everything is standard and without flair, fries lukewarm, reds without everything 5.50 euros. Unfortunately my last visit

Food has become extremely poor and is simply way too expensive! The selection isn't exactly great either.

Starters good, snack plate recommended. Main meal like it came from the freezer. Salad dressing like it comes from the packaging. Cocktails from the bottle but price like they were freshly prepared. Great playground for children

Simply too expensive now. Portion sizes have also been reduced. 22€ for a salad bowl and a beer.

Food is good for a beer garden, the ambience is great and everything is very cozy, sometimes the music during live performances can be a bit loud and you just have to come early for events or on the weekend, otherwise the beer garden is pretty full despite its size, which is of course also very much due to its popularity. The parking space is also a bit tight, but that's not a bad thing. All in all a nice place to relax

I loved it. Pretty good food and very cool place.

Great beer garden with a great selection of drinks and food. Playground for children and plenty of parking spaces.

Great little food stop. There is plenty of room for all. Minus the parking. We had to go down the street to Aldi. Worth it. The food is super good. Kids have plenty of safe space as well.

Great beer garden with delicious food and a playground for the little ones

Menu is quite small and there isn't much choice

It was an amazing experience, very friendly staff & great beers! With kids it is also perfect, they have a playground.

I've rarely eaten such disgusting sausage salad. Sponge in ready-made sauce inedible and then another 15 euros. Once and never again.

Very good shop, everything was perfect!

Fries were very hard, the sausage was cold.

Nice beer garden with delicious food and a very nice ambience, but the parking situation is not ideal.

Actually a great beer garden and, by Swabian standards, huge. Food delicious, without a doubt. Aaaabut: The logistics are rather less clever, sorry really: First there's a queue, almost like in an amusement park, then a single tapper, one with 6 taps, but he still has to do something on the side. Oh, that's right, skills shortage, almost forgotten. Then you stand there with a beer in a stein and wait in the payment line. In front of me is a woman with a wine spritzer and a walker. No chance. Together we did it 😎 Then the card payment is canceled. Chaos. That's bad luck, of course, but the entire concept can really be expanded. If you have patience, you will still have a great time in a great, varied atmosphere. I think 4 out of 5 is appropriate.

Relatively large beer garden that is easy to reach. The employees are friendly. Card payment is also possible. However, it would be nice and contemporary if there were more vegetarian dishes. The offering here is a bit poor (fries, Swabian flatbreads, vegetarian Maultaschen). The food could also be a little less salty... Addendum: The beer garden is so large that it should actually be possible to separate smoking and non-smoking areas. Then you could eat without any unpleasant smell. Even 2 years later, people still smoke everywhere... even though there are many children present and it is well known how harmful passive smoking is.

I know the Schwabengarten from the old days, initially based in Vaihingen, then moving to LE, where I always enjoyed going. It's been years now since I've been there again because we just happened to be in the area. What really shocked me was the prices for the food. A schnitzel for €20.90 in a beer garden is an absolute statement. The other dishes are also very expensive. I'm also surprised that there are no prices on the menu on the homepage. Presumably there are concerns that fewer people will come otherwise? But SB Schmellbachtal and SB Eselsmühle also charge such absurd prices. These used to be places where you could have a moderate meal with a family, but today it's pure luxury. I don't feel like doing that anymore and would rather go to a real restaurant with service and better quality at the same price, or even usually cheaper. Beer at 4.80 a half was even okay...but food was incredibly expensive.

Delicious food and good beer. We will be back.

Very nice, large beer garden with good food and a playground for children.

Actually a great beer garden. Unfortunately, the range of food on offer has been massively reduced in recent years. There used to be spare ribs or pork knuckles.

Nice beer garden, usually not crowded. Great events, eat beer garden compliant completely ok order,

The food is great and the selection is good. You can also find your own vegetarian options. The service cannot be rated as it is self-service. However, the waiting times are still reasonable when there is a lot of activity. The ambience is also very nice if you like beer gardens.

Nice beer garden and always worth a visit

Very nice beer garden with lots of seating!!! If you just had a drink, you can definitely go!!!!

The food is now more varied than at the beginning, and you should find something🍽️😜 I just miss shady trees or the former fountain. Everything else got bigger over the years, including for worse weather. But all in all, in 2023 you are a place that you can recommend (note to the owners 😁)

very nice, cozy self-service beer garden... delicious draft beer and good food

Nice beer garden, very well organized!! Everyone will find something on the menu. Also has a playground for children, so also suitable for families 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Very nice beer garden with a great ambience. The children's playground is also great, but I'm extremely shocked at the prices. Schnitzel with fries without salad over €20. If you want a salad with it it's over €28 without a drink. That's quite an announcement. Everything is self-service. Unfortunately, it can only be recommended for better and higher earners. 2 adults and 2 children eat and drink and you can easily spend upwards of €100.

Das Bier ist gut, der Garten ist schön und es gibt jetzt sehr viele überdachte Sitzplätze. Aber das alte Problem - die Küche!!!!! Es war "Maishendl-Tag" und wir freuten uns auf einen schönen halben Gockel. Sollte mit Brötchen 13,90 kosten. Was wir bekamen, war die pure Enttäuschung: ein kleines, sehr mageres Vögelchen, die Haut steinhart, das Fleisch, soweit vorhanden, völlig trocken und ein großes, luftiges und fast geschmacksneutrales Brötchen dazu. Und wir dachten schon, die Küche hätte sich verbessert . Aber außer dass es jetzt keine feste Speisenauswahl mehr gibt, hat sich offenbar rein gar nichts geändert.

Self-service beer garden also large enough to hold company parties. The food is typical of a beer garden and the quality is good

Quite nice to sit together. But I'm probably too spoiled by Bavarian beer gardens when it comes to the quality of the food. I found the portions too small for the price (self-service!) and the quality wasn't good. Parking: too few parking spaces. I had 1/2 chicken. This was small, dry and average at best. For the same price I get half a knuckle at the brewery in Tegernsee, which fills me up.

Actually a great beer garden. This is my third time there in a week. There were no problems twice. Totally disorganized today. Over an hour of waiting at the checkout for a beer. Getting something to eat was out of the question. Beer gardens are no fun

The food is of a good standard, typical of a beer garden, and the portions are large. There are also daily specials, but these are only announced directly at the food counter. The parking lot is too small for the size of the beer garden, so we recommend traveling by public transport. There are stops nearby.

Beer and beer price OK, food (sausage fries, chicken wings) at the simplest level. Card reduced to something that could be produced cheaply compared to before. Price-performance not ok

This is the second time we have reserved for 50 people. The first time this reservation was canceled two weeks in advance. That should have been a lesson to us, because the second time they said they didn't have a reservation when we were there with 50 people. The staff were unfriendly and also claimed that we had canceled the reservation ourselves (which was definitely not the case) instead of apologizing and offering an alternative and compensation. Absolute impudence and completely wrong!

Always love coming here. Good bier selection. Mainstays for food with some changing selection. Great for kids.

The second time it was booked for 50 people and it was overbooked twice. No alternative offered. Just sad

Always friendly and helpful staff who are happy to help in emergency situations (completely soaked, forgotten wallet, ...). Plus delicious food and a cold beer. What more do you want. Always happy 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
