Schwarze Kiste am Hochablass in Augsburg

When the weather is nice, it is a popular meeting place for young and old

Unfortunately lukewarm food, very expensive. Staff friendly. Unfortunately, the operator dismissed the criticism with the justification that one should be happy that there are still restaurateurs. Very disappointing and amateurish.

A great place to stay. A good Augustinian non-alcoholic drink to relax after a bike ride. We are there often in the summer. Bratwurst roll was delicious.

Nice people behind the counter, coffee and cake were delicious again! Even the sun came through for the duration of my stay. Gladly again👍

Nice service, friendly and accommodating

The best place to chill and enjoy life

Always recommended for a stop. Delicious coffee, great seating at the weir, or even on a sofa in the beer garden, with something for everyone, at reasonable prices. And VERY FRIENDLY staff. I can only shout to anyone who has had different experiences: just as you call into the forest, it echoes back!

The staff is very unfriendly and the fries were soggy. The toilets were blocked, it was worse than when I was at school. Absolutely no recommendation.

Food is ok, not great but ok. But the tables, serving area, dining and seating areas are very dirty. The toilet is a place of horror. It's a shame about the actually great location right on the Kuhsee.

Now I'm completely satisfied! Mo has the place under control! (August 24) Really good food, pleasant beer garden, but unfortunately I too often feel like a troublemaker when it comes to service. (2020) Updated: The last few times (August/September 21) the service has improved; for this reason ****

I can't say anything about the food or atmosphere, I only wanted 2 bottles of water, I also had 2 empty ones with me. Adelholzener, the only difference, mine were soft, yours were Classic, but otherwise the same (glass and 0.5l). The first comment from the lady at the sales: I can't offset that, they're not from us! -> Maybe people should be used who are trained in the deposit system before making such comments... And then wanting to charge me EUR 7.60 for 2 bottles of water knocks the whole thing out anyway. Sorry, but that doesn't work at all. I was there last time...

Was shocked that there were no porcelain dishes. Why do I have to eat my fries out of the cardboard box with a wooden fork when I'm sitting in the beer garden. No understanding of this throwaway philosophy.

Fries and the BBQ pulled pork poutine are highly recommended. Large portions and friendly staff. Gladly again!

Polite service, pleasant location, coffee was delicious, dogs were warmly welcomed

It's definitely worth a visit 👌

Very cool atmosphere with lounge chairs outside. The currywurst was very crunchy, very crispy fries and good sauce. The staff was very nice both times, and once the grill, which had already been cleaned, was turned on again especially for us. It's very relaxing to have something to eat after an afternoon at the Kuhsee. I can definitely recommend the Black Box!

Great ambience right on the Kuhsee with a beautiful view of the dammed Lech. The sales service is always very attentive and friendly, despite the sometimes quite long queues. We always come here at the end of our gravel tour and definitely don't want to miss this stop!

Completely overpriced, cheesecake is not homemade (but the manufacturer makes it himself, said the gentleman behind the counter... what can you say about that?). Rare for a mere price of €6! received such a product. Banana cake doesn't taste like banana and is bone dry. Marble cake was ok. Toilets smell of urine and are very dirty. Beer garden is quite nice, but overall nothing that makes you feel comfortable.

We received very friendly service here and it was wonderful to sit and enjoy

Friendly staff, large portions, good service, unfortunately disgusting toilets...

The burger pie is super tasty 😋

Right on the Hochablass, really nice!

nice beer garden 👍, the drinks are expensive, Blackcurrant spritzer 0.5 L, 5.20 €

Was there at 25 degrees, everything was clean, friendly, good, enough small selection, well thought out

Delicious food that you can't find everywhere! Super great area! Especially in summer

Don't come back here again! Staff was really unfriendly, even one star is too much. The quality of the food was very poor and never as good as at Pier 3! I wouldn't recommend it, there are much nicer places in Augsburg. Am disappointed :(

Professionalism left to be desired......the box used to be better

Curry sausage with fries was very tasty

Chilled place to end the evening 🌌

As always, good coffee, and finally card payment is possible, which fits 👍 Kiosk 5 stars, cappuccino unfortunately only 4 stars, the barista (milk frothing) requirement has unfortunately suffered somewhat, but is also difficult due to the lack of skilled workers, is a widespread problem...

A beautiful beer garden in an idyllic location. The south of Augsburg is beautiful.

Hello everyone, I visited this place, but unfortunately I didn't eat, I drank a delicious Augustiner (I'm talking about beer, and not just any beer, fio, fio) friendly service, smiling lady behind the counter and colleague. I recommend, I will definitely visit this place soon😃🍺🍺🍺

Great location, nice service! Beer care could be better, maybe it's the cleaning of the glasses... Suggestion: Wipe down tables every now and then.

Just the right place for a cool drink and fries

Top, very friendly staff. Gladly again and again.

It's a good place to spend some time. Food is beautifully prepared and tastes delicious. Friendly service

Super tasty food, but the portions are a bit smaller, but that's why the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. I would recommend it

Relaxed location directly on hochablass.

Nice, friendly staff, great view of the area. Only toilet negative, not that clean

A little unpredictable Weatherconditions in Bavaria but we went on a Sunday brunch a d had good 2 hours before the next downpour took some nice fotos

Nice, cozy location. Delicious coffee but a bit expensive.

Right next to the Hochablass is the “Black Box” - you can imagine it like a kiosk with a beer garden. There is pretty tasty food and drinks there at a reasonable price. On nice days there is a lot going on - especially on weekends and public holidays, so you may have to queue a bit. But it's worth it and we've always found a spot in the semi-shaded beer garden. You can even pay by card or cell phone. We always enjoy coming here. We especially love the BBQ pulled pork with fries…really delicious.

The currywurst was good but not a big hit for me.

I ate special fries. Too salty for my taste and left in the deep fryer for too long. I didn't understand what was special about it. Maybe the little dollop of ketchup?

Really recommended for a cycling trip to stop off.

Very comfortable and top 🔝 Service 😍 Highly recommended 🙏

You can stop when you're cycling.

Nice chilled location. There was also something different as a snack than always the same standard program.

We had an Aperol Spritz and a cold coffee, somehow the staff didn't feel like it, the Aperol was served very carelessly and put down just as carelessly. Sometimes it would be better for some service workers if they looked for a job on the assembly line - you don't have to be friendly either.

Very nice snack. Great location

very good coffee very good fries and very good beer but not for narrow wallets

Such a nice place with very quality food. Service was also amazing and the view was also stunning. Very recommended :)

The food tastes good but there doesn't seem to be much attention paid to hygiene

Delicious food, self-service, okay in terms of price, the toilet could be looked after a little more.

I love this place, when the weather is right it is very pleasant there.

Nice location, nice staff, nicely located, unfortunately the kitchen was closed at 8:30 p.m., which is understandable but unfortunately it's a shame on the first sunny evenings, but it doesn't matter, there was still beer and it was delicious. I would love to come back again, but sooner for the fries and the currywurst

Quality has deteriorated a lot - cheeky prices for a kiosk. Owners are even too lazy to clean the windows. Absolutely no recommendation

On Saturday, April 14th, the Black Box really hit the jackpot. And me as a customer forever too. When the weather was nice, I ordered steak fries with sweet potatoes, fried onions and BBQ sauce, plus extra ketchup and mayonnaise. I wanted to get a drink later when the food was ready. So €11.80 rounded to €12.00 - initially without a drink. What surprised me in advance was that there wasn't much going on, and that at the kiosk at Hochablass in the best weather. I was even more surprised when the food was ready after less than 10 minutes. When the number was called and I looked, I couldn't get out of the jam. What was going on? Measly portion, although at first I couldn't even see strips of steak on it - basically a small portion of fries. I asked twice at the window what that was supposed to be. Two very stupid and unfriendly answers "409", after which the guy simply disappeared. Let's summarize: - About 100-150 grams of sweet potato fries - found 20-30 grams of meat with a magnifying glass - small dab of mayo - Traces of ketchup on a fry - No fried onion at all - also no BBQ sauce. Sorry guys, but charging for performance and not delivering, there's a word for that with "Beeeehhht..." at the front. To then duck away is a bottomless impudence. So definitely no further chance. It's better to go 200 meters further and only pay half. Nice beer garden, no smoke-free zone, well... Addendum to the answer: If you take the example of poorly rated ones, then it is your personal attitude. Or you can take an example from those rated good to excellent - I also have more than enough of these, but you have to want to notice it. And as I recently saw while walking past the Kuhsee... The prices at your kiosk have been raised again by a whopping 20%. In the best weather there are hardly any guests. Bravo and keep it up and, above all, relax.

Everything is good and we are satisfied!

A cozy beer garden on the Lech where you can take a break with coffee or beer when the weather is nice.

Very nice there during the week, but unfortunately very crowded on the weekend, but understandably so, as it is located on the Kuhsee. Still very nice there

Sorry, but when I put my empty glass at the wrong counter this lunchtime, the young employee loudly insulted me as an ar…………. Young man, if you don't know how to deal with customers who have been with you for decades and don't have any manners, then just stay at home!

We only had a coffee to go, but we had a very nice conversation with the owner

The food is really served in large portions and is delicious, if there isn't a long line, everything is done quickly and there are plenty of seats, but the best place is right on the river bank because you can hear the sounds of the waterfalls here. 5/5.

Beautiful "kiosk" although the term is incorrect. There is a huge beer garden, nice ambience, all sorts of hot and cold drinks, as well as various extremely tasty hot and cold food. Perfect for stocking up on hot or cold drinks and finger food right at the parking lot before a walk along the picturesque Kuhsee. Even after the walk, the beer garden invites you to enjoy the sun, drink a cold beer, fortify yourself with a steak roll or a nut corner and coffee. And the boys and girls are always in a good mood and laugh or are up for having fun (which is important to me personally).

Meine Tochter hat sich bei herrlicher Sonne auf ihren Eiskaffee gefreut Es war ein dünner Milchkaffee mit 3 Eiswürfeln !!! 6,80m€

Nice spot for some refreshments on a walk!

I don't think it's justified that you have to pay an extra 70 cents for the oat alternative. It's better to do it the other way around and charge extra for cow's milk.

Often overcrowded. Relatively expensive. But otherwise great

Nice little snack bar with a beer garden at the Hochablass, technical idyll at the weir, if you're expecting romance here you're in the wrong place, good for a break while walking or cycling

Nice beer garden at the Kuhsee. Large selection and reasonable prices

Too expensive for self-service, cake delicious, coffee making OK,

Nice beer garden right on the Hochablass. There is a pleasant selection of food, hot and cold drinks. The prices are very fair. There are enough seats.

Cashed in for 0.5 l of shandy and got a 0.33 l bottle, and when I asked why I got a stupid answer... you were just unlucky today there is only 0.33 l, cheek.

The black box is really great. Good food and great drinks. The prices are ok.

Nice beer garden right in the Augsburg city forest. When the weather was nice, there were of course a lot of tourists out and about, which created a queue for food and drinks. Otherwise good restaurant and great view of the Lech.

We were only at the Black Box briefly to get an ice cream in the super sunny weather, it was incredibly busy. I can't say anything more about the black box. Afterwards we went for a nice walk along the Hochablass as best we could. Fantastic.

Always stop here. Delicious food, the best espresso and always something tasty with it. Good organization, even when busy. Special place too. I keep coming here.

I'm pleasantly surprised! Great restaurant in great surroundings.

Cozy and very friendly location. Location directly on the Lech dam.

Just a quick cup of coffee again. Staff friendly and quick, counter and dishes clean and tidy

For this small shop, mega good cuisine and a large selection

Long snake. Coffee took quite a long time. Qualities excellent!

Ganz leckerer heisser Spritz Aperol

The best French fries are here😋😍

Simply a great place in every season. There is self-service there, hence 3 stars for that.

The location is wonderful, especially in summer. There are usually enough seats in the beer garden, in front of the bar or on the wall at the Hochablass. Unfortunately, we (my partner and I) weren't at all enthusiastic about the currywurst... the fries, on the other hand, were very good. The coffee was also very good, as usual from the Black Box! The cake offered, from a pastry shop based in Augsburg, was a large portion and very tasty!! The staff is very friendly and quick. If you want to stop there specifically and arrive by car, you can park in the Kuhsee Nord car park. The prices are on the higher side.

Simply beautiful here on the Lech

Gehen immer sehr gerne hin und stärken uns mit ner Kleinigkeit :)

Sehr preiswerter Kaffee trotz Ansturm ging es relativ flott

Es war wohl der letzte heiße freie Tag, Es war ein sehr großer Anlauf an diesem Tag Personal war wohl etwas gestresst ,war aber stets bemüht die Leute zügig anzufertigen

Kurz und knapp Spritz ultra schlecht und sehr teuer für 0,3 aber sie Antwort ja gerne und viel wie ich sehe....doch ein Lob gebe ich die Lage ist halt super mehr nicht...

Hatten nur 1 Bier 🍺 getrunken,war alles Okay

Prima Versorgungsstation in unmittelbarer Nähe des Hochablass es. Die Leute, die das betreiben, sind bestens organisiert und arbeiten die Schlange der Hungrigen und Durstigen auch bei Hochbetrieb - der Hochablass samt benachbartem Kuhsee ist eines der Ausflugsziele der Augsburger - zügig ab. Es gibt einen kleinen Biergarten.

Alleine das Ambiente würde mehr als fünf Sterne verdienen. Ein herrlicher Ort um einfach nur einen Kaffee und eventuell einen Imbiss zu genießen, oder einen Spaziergang mit einem Bier zu belohnen. Die Auswahl bietet für wirklich jeden etwas. Das Personal ist angenehm entspannt und sehr sehr hilfsbereit. Für mich ein Wohlfühlort. Und wenn sich jemand Bilder wünscht - fahrt hin - es lohnt sich 🙂

Preis Leistung einfach gut. Auch die Lage.

Einfach nette Ecke mit Angeboten an kleinem Essen das es nicht so oft zu finden gibt

Super Service Personal sehr freundlich

Hatten einen kurzen Zwischenstop bei der Radltour. Freundliches Personal und normale Preise haben mich positiv gestimmt. Der Ort direkt am Hochablass ist für Leute die was gucken wollen perfekt. Hier tut sich nämlich was - es kommen bei schönem Wetter viele Menschen dort vorbei. Und wenn man einen Platz ergattert, dann ist der Platz trotz Betrieb zum entschleunigen geeignet.

Ein schöner Ort um mal kurz Pause zu machen. Auch ein tolles Angebot an Speisen und Getränken. Grundsätzlich ist hier Selbstbedienung angesagt. Wir fanden die Preise echt knackig (z.B. Wasser 3,40 €) und die Qualität dafür eher mittelmäßig. Die Portionen sind jedoch wirklich sättigend. Wenn wir mal wieder da sind, dann nicht hungrig, so dass wir uns eine Pommes teilen können - die sind wirklich lecker.
