Schwarze Kiste am Hochablass in Augsburg

Overpriced, over €5 for a plate of fries, which weren't exactly a hit. Also, the food options aren't clearly advertised, there are large boards for drinks and a few specials displayed with menu items listed, but it's unclear exactly what the entire menu includes. Relatively long wait times, and the staff are moderately friendly. Then the card reader brazenly asks for a tip before you can even pay. Tipping should be considered an extra bonus, usually only given for outstanding service or ambiance. Neither was really present, at least with street vendors. The hygiene standards are also interesting if you take a look into the "kitchen." The employees simply eat individual fries from the bowl of fries with their hands, without gloves. It doesn't exactly make you hungry when you finally get your food several minutes later. The health department will definitely be happy the next time they stop by. I wouldn't recommend it. I'm already looking forward to the operator's toxic response (just look at the other reviews with criticism that are being made fun of). Edit: This is ridiculous. I think the kiosk operator doesn't understand the meaning of "review." Of course, it's subjective, based on one's own impression during the visit. It was never claimed that this was an objective investigation or large-scale scientific study. I can only speak from my own experience. And it wasn't good. Besides, he seems to be twisting every word three times and taking himself too seriously. I recommend professional help.

Currywurst was ice cold, service was a bit rude

Very nice in summer for a walk or a bike ride 👌

The food tastes good. Even on long journeys, it's quick.

Better not! The staff needs training on customer service. The currywurst should be able to swim to avoid drowning in a sea of ​​sauce. The bratwurst can be found under the pile of mustard.

This is my third time here. It's a cozy and shady beer garden. The restrooms are also okay. The bulgur salad was delicious in this hot weather. One star deducted because you have to get your own food and are still asked to tip, and because they don't serve Diet Coke, only Zero, which I don't like. But I'd be happy to come back! PS: Prices are similar at the other kiosk.

After playing a water fight by the river, it is a great idea to have a beer there.

The sausage salad was delicious, but could have used more love. Added herbs or something colorful 😜 Otherwise, great 👍 Quick and tasty. Just right for a stopover.

Very friendly staff, it's always our stop when we're out walking the dog 🐕‍🦺. We love coming here, and I highly recommend the lemon cake 🥰. There's always something going on, like live music, a barbecue, etc. A big compliment to the whole team! We're always happy to come back 🤗🤗

The food took a very long time to arrive; we waited 20 minutes for fries, a vegan currywurst, and a salad, and it wasn't very busy. The waitress kept messing up our order and was watching football while we ate. I also think the prices are quite high for the portion sizes, but the food was delicious.

It's OK for us here during the week, but it's very busy on weekends and public holidays. We can recommend Augustiner alcohol-free

Self-service. Beautiful location right on the Hochablass. Highly recommended for relaxing before or after a bike ride.

Self-service and always for a nightcap 👍

Highly recommended. It was very busy today, but we didn't have to wait long.

The location at Hochablass inevitably leads you to the Schwarze Kiste. A cool fast food joint with a special touch. A clear concept for ordering, serving drinks, and serving food. The dishes are delicious, some of them a little out of the ordinary. The pulled pork, burgers, and cake are highly recommended.

Location, location, location :) still good value for money

Great place! Great atmosphere, I do recommend on your way to the kuhsee

High prices (food and drinks) but great location and nice beer garden

Very good snack bar by the lake with excellent, homemade, and generous sausage salad! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. We'll be back 👍

Kuhsee and Hochablaß are always worth a visit. At the Black Box, you can purchase culinary delicacies for a lot of money. A portion of sweet potato fries with three dips costs €11.70. I was a bit surprised by that price...

Top kiosk, with a top location and atmosphere. But why no more nut corner 🥹🥲

We have walked past many times and this was our first time there as customers. We went there with great anticipation and were unfortunately very disappointed... We finally decided on an iced coffee and a small coffee Americano. The prices are very high (~13€), especially for the size of the drink. The iced coffee was <0.2L in a crushed plastic cup. In addition, both drinks were just old/stale black coffee. In summary, we were very disappointed and rather disgusted with the product sold. If you're longing for a delicious and inexpensive iced coffee, get it at the Rewe around the corner. Unfortunately we won't be buying anything here again. Wish the quality was significantly better for this price!

Gladly again - lots of sun and delicious food and drink

This nut corner - please bring it back. Nobody wants to see a grown person get sentimental over pastries. And yet here we are...

Super beautiful at the Lech Hochablass

Recommended but the food is a little expensive

Great beer garden at Hochablass. When the weather is nice there is a lot going on here. The lawns around it are also simply wonderful...

Was there for a beer. Super relaxed :) extremely busy when the weather is nice :)

Nice kiosk, with a lot of selection at a good price... The toilet could really be cleaned every now and then

Cozy kiosk at Hochablass. Perfect for a short break on a bike tour. When the weather is nice there is a lot going on here. There are also special events every now and then. The food is very tasty.

Ideal beer garden in Khusee, top

Unfortunately, waiting times are usually very long, but that also means patience for the many people who come by. But a great location and always nice there

Well suited for a small snack or coffee.

Definitely when the weather is nice

Great for going for a walk. Food is very tasty. Prices are ok.

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

I come here often to relax close to the Kuhsee)

The Black Box fills a need at the High Indulgence!! Always well attended. The range of food and drinks is very good. Which is of course perfect, you can sit down in the beer garden and by the water. It's a beautiful corner!

The great kiosk The Black Box is worth a visit at any time of the year. Here you can get freshly prepared food and homemade cakes. Everything tastes very good! The employees are always friendly and quick, even when the number of visitors is high. One of my favorite places at Kuhsee and Hochablass!

Very nicely located. Ideal for a short break to eat and drink.

Seid ihr eigentlich irre?!?! Eine Weisweinschorle 0,5 l für 7.70 €?!?!? Dann noch aus der Flasche, wo du beim Rewe um die Ecke für 1,50 € bekommst. Nichtmal in einem Teuren Restaurant wird soviel verlangt!!! Das ist absolute Abzocke!!!

Black Box – A pleasure for over 10 years!🙏😊👏 The Black Box has fascinated me from the very beginning - and has been for over a decade! I still remember the first days at Königsplatz when I enjoyed my first cappuccino there. Since then, one thing has never changed: the quality and taste are simply top! Whether at Königsplatz or towards Haunstetten - the Black Box always provided great coffee and delicious food. The currywurst and the cappuccino particularly impressed me every time. It's a real shame that Moritzplatz was the last stop, because this special atmosphere simply belongs in the city center. But no matter where the journey takes us – we remain loyal to the Black Box! Thank you for all the years full of enjoyment and special moments!

I love this spot near Augsburg 💗 Best coffee, delicious food, great people and the most amazing location! Thank you for the last few years 😉

It's good that there is even a kiosk here. However, a second kiosk would make sense. On the one hand, the rush is very big. So you often have to wait a long time. Secondly, a second kiosk would also ensure that prices are regulated. The prices here are clearly too high for a kiosk. This is not a café or a restaurant, but "just" a kiosk. You get “okay” quality, but the prices are still significantly too high. Absolutely off the charts.

Completely overpriced. Actually originally a kiosk, now a hipster coffee shop full of eBike snobs. Closer discussions with the staff allow conclusions to be drawn that would be exciting for certain offices.

A well-located kiosk with a very good selection (drinks and food) The nut wedges are very tasty 😋

Nice atmosphere, the box glow in the run-up to Christmas is particularly recommended

Everything is good, but two suggestions for improvement: 1. Chili oil costs extra but doesn't burn at all. All it does is make the currywurst super oily but not spicy at all. Then it's better to offer powder or at least hot oil and maybe just for free. 2. Vegetarian currywurst costs almost a euro more than the normal one. It doesn't work at all. Even if it is more expensive to purchase, you should cross-finance it and make it the same price or a little cheaper so that more people choose the sustainable alternative. Otherwise everything is delicious so far :)

The Hochablass is worth a trip anyway and you can fortify yourself here. At the moment (winter 2024/25) the location has been expanded to include a small, cozy Christmas market with food, drinks and a campfire in the evenings.

High prices and doesn't taste good.

With a campfire but totally smoky clothes. Quite nice.

Always a good meeting place with friends. And there are good drinks.

Very good location to spend some entertaining time

Far too few people in service and everything is very expensive.

It's always worth a trip to stop there, even if it's just for fries or other tasty things when you're cycling

Pleasant sitting by the lake, near the forest, good coffee, draft beer

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!

It's definitely worth a visit 👌

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

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

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

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 :(

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?
