Schwabengarten in Leinfelden-Echterdingen

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.

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.

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.

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

Winter villages are simply a great thing

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!!

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)

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 👍

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!

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.

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

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

From the food to the service, everything was top

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

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.

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)

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Fries were very hard, the sausage was cold.

Very good shop, everything was perfect!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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

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 😁)

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.

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.

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

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 location is really nice and offers a pleasant and rustic atmosphere. Staff is nice and helpful also for international guests. The food isn't great, but acceptable for a beer garden.

Large beer garden, good prices.

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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good beer garden with a wide selection of beers. I would like to highlight the nice cashier with the red hair, who was very helpful to me and even brought the food

Great beer garden, delicious food

Nice beer garden, well organized!

The ambience couldn't be better for a beer garden. Top. I can only recommend various seating options and reserving the hut for a fee-based event. Only the Vesper platters were seriously exaggerated in quantity and there wasn't enough choice for vegans either.

I love this place, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is amazing and the service is also 10/10

The cool beer garden is great, also great for families as there is a small playground there. We've been there a few times and always thought it was great!

Good place and atmosphere to spend time and chilling. I like it. Good hell beer 🍺 But very expensive, really

Although there are no beer garden trees, it is a very nice beer garden. Top food, clean toilets. Addition August 8, 2023 . The trees have grown a bit 🙂 What's important is that you can tell from many little things that the beer garden is run with love, e.g. B. different design of the areas, not all umbrellas are necessarily open, so you can choose whether you want to sit outside or under a tarpaulin, the food we have had so far was all top-notch and very good. We'd love to come back 🎉

Black beer on tap is no longer available. Therefore no longer interesting for me.

I can't comment on the food because we grilled there ourselves as part of an event. But the service and ambience are great!

Great atmosphere with a children's playground, but the food is a disaster. E.g. Salads not washed, fries not tasty, convincing greetings

Went for the euros. Everything was perfect

Nice big beer garden. Nice ambience.

We celebrated our company summer party there. Admittedly the weather wasn't nice. But we had informed ourselves in advance that the beer garden closes at 11 p.m. But actually leaving the house at 9:30 p.m. because of the weather was really cheeky. At 9 p.m. we were told "last round" and at 9:30 p.m. the lights really and truly went out and we were escorted to the gates!!!! Guys, I'm employee-friendly too! But why send all the employees home when the store is still full of people? Why can't you kindly say, we're closing an hour earlier today. That was really inhospitable! That was my last visit to this location.

The best Biergarten in the region.

The Schwabengarten is a real insider tip! I would particularly like to highlight the incredibly friendly and warm older lady who makes the service an unforgettable experience. Their smiles and warmth radiate pure hospitality and you immediately feel welcome. She always takes time for a little chat and her charming manner makes you feel at home. A visit to the Swabian Garden is not only a culinary delight, but also an encounter with true Swabian hospitality. Thank you for the wonderful moments – I’ll always be happy to come back.

Dry, old fries for 6.90 euros and an unfriendly cashier. We won't go there anymore.

Amazing biergarten. Salad was wonderful and great for a afterwork with colleagues. Parking might be problematic. They do public viewing.

Went there spontaneously for a beer, the food looked very good, we'll have to try it soon

Many stalls together create a beautiful, large beer garden. There were a lot of screens set up at the European Championships. Service is very nice. It's a bit drafty in the evening because we sat in the middle. Easy to reach by public transport.

We had such a great experience here! We made a reservation for the hut and it was festive & cozy. Delicious glühwein, flamkuchen, goulash, and Weihnachtsbier are just some of the delicious food & drinks served here. There are so many photo opportunities all over the grounds. On Sundays from 3PM to 6PM, they have kids activities in the hut complete with games and arts & crafts; there is an adult who leads the children in the crafts. Outside, there is a campfire where you can roast marshmallows or dough on a stick for a Euro or two.

Well, I don't know what I can call a beer garden these days. Maybe the operators should visit a real beer garden to see what a beer garden looks like. That was a really disappointing number. And when it came to eating, the person sitting next to us put it aptly: “This food is worse than our canteen.”

Zapfer was friendly Then things went downhill The lady at the checkout just had a bad day at best But the food was super bad Spareribs were not pickled, just dipped in marinade and then pushed If not pushed first and then dunked I have no idea how you could do something wrong Then it was lukewarm even though there was nothing going on and I just didn't feel like it I never really write reviews unless it was good, but it was so bad that I can't stick with it The salad was a bit overdone but it worked, but I can't get over the spare ribs
