Spatzenhäus'l - Renate Hofer in Grainau

The knuckle is a culinary delight😋

Very tasty food and a landlady who is on her toes. We'd love to come back.

A very nice restaurant. Food was excellent and plentiful. Can only be recommended.

Unreserved recommendation! Food, service and portions great. Reserve your spot!

Very good food and friendly staff

Great Bavarian cuisine and friendly prices. In addition, very fast and pleasant service.

Friendly and competent service, hearty food and a traditional ambience.

The fried potatoes were fresh! The food was very good. In my opinion the best restaurant in Grainau. Very clean and modern toilets. Price raised. EC card possible!

You're sure to find something here spontaneously, cozy atmosphere and friendly service. The food is completely sufficient and the price is also completely okay. It was very tasty and highly recommended.

The cheese spaetzle was really exceptionally good and is simply part of a holiday in Grainau. Small, cozy restaurant with very friendly owners.

Wonderful food Great service Great ambience

We ate at Spatzenhäus'l several times during our vacation and were completely satisfied every time. I haven't had such a great meal in a long time.

Very nice and attentive service, food came super quickly. All dishes are homemade and very tasty. We'd love to come back more often.☺️

We ate here 5 evenings and everything was phenomenal. Super nice service and absolutely super great food! The variety and quality of each dish was outstanding! We would of course be happy to come back at any time on our next holiday!

The food is tasty. Unfortunately, the ladies in the restaurant were unpleasant. We had a reservation and after an hour the waitress told us to finish dinner because she had another reservation. I definitely don't recommend it!

Super nice service. Good Bavarian food. Only recommended. Attention: a table reservation is absolutely sensible. If the restaurant is full, you should take your time. You can then expect to have to wait a bit until the food arrives. That's not a problem for us at the moment because we're on vacation :-)

The Spatzenhäusl was simply brilliant! Super tasty food, perfect portions and the price was more than fair. The service was warm and attentive - you immediately felt at home. All in all a great experience that I can only recommend to everyone!

So we ordered for 7 p.m. and got the table exactly. At 7:30 p.m. a lot of people came and stood next to the table. It's quaint in itself, but opinions can be divided. The food was great and arrived at the table very quickly, which may have been due to the Bavarian dishes. The boss (presumably) had the situation under control despite the rush of visitors. No tip payment by card possible.

Pleasant and efficient service! Portions are big and very tasty!

An absolutely amazing place with a wide variety of delicious traditional German dishes. Just be mindful of the portion sizes—they’re enormous! The service is good; while the staff may come across as a bit reserved in the typical German way, it’s still a fantastic experience overall. Highly recommended!

Best, top food, top service We would love to come back 👍

My brother and I ate here three times during our hiking vacation. It was always very tasty. That's why I don't understand one star reviews. Very comfortably furnished and very nice, attentive service.

Last day before the company vacation with a slimmed-down menu. Despite many guests, some of whom were very impatient and stressed, the service was very nice to us. The food was good and plenty. The children loved the spaetzle.

The Spatzenhäus'l is a cozy restaurant and a good choice if you want something to eat and appreciate large portions. We were there very spontaneously and on the last day before the winter break and got a table within 35 minutes. It is pleasant that dogs, i.e. four-legged friends, are also warmly welcomed and the waitresses walk past them very considerately, even though we were sitting directly at the food counter in a full restaurant. A lot of regular guests probably come here because many of the visitors knew each other and there was a family atmosphere. The food tastes excellent, the portions are large and the prices are accurate and significantly cheaper than in the adjacent restaurant. That's why we'll be back and recommend Renate Hofer's Spatzenhäus'l to anyone who's spontaneously looking for something.

We quickly decided to reserve two seats (probably just in time) because guests arriving later had to be turned away by the attentive lady at the bar. So much routine, attention and genuine hospitality has become rare. Innkeepers know their stuff. We had a good look into the kitchen, where 2 very experienced employees (a great chef, a relaxed lady) prepared everything fresh(!), even the schnitzels were breaded in front of our eyes. The well and deliciously filled plates were quickly brought to the tables, while the friendly landlady briefly asked here whether it tasted good, there whether it should be another drink or seated people. It went hand in hand there, tasted great and there was no sense of hecticness despite the hustle and bustle. We'll be back.

Just keep it up, everything is perfect. 🥰

Food was good, friendly service. You have to reserve the place in advance.

Friendly service. Enjoy your meal. Nice ambience. Good Bavarian cuisine. Prices reasonable. You can also take food with you.

One of the best restaurants I know. Excellent food 😋 Delicious. The service is always friendly. Only recommended.

Whenever we are in Grainau, eating at the Spatzenhäusel is a must. Super delicious food no matter what you eat, very nice boss who is on her toes. And always friendly. We'd love to come back.

Rustic, cozy and very tasty food. Service very friendly 🫶

Everything is just right here: ambience, service, food, prices. We have been here several times over the past 3 years and we are always thrilled. It's rare to find such delicious Bavarian food.

Loved the schnitzels! Nice and moist :) the atmosphere was great too, it was a cozy dinner.

It's advisable to reserve in advance, otherwise you'll need a lot of luck! Super delicious food, great ambience, very nice and courteous staff :)

Amazing traditional dishes in beautiful alpine-themed hut. To note: the kitchen closed at 20:00, atleast during the off-season

We have nothing to complain about, the staff is friendly and the food is good. You can come here with a clear conscience.

Luckily we had reserved a table and all the seats were occupied - and not without reason. Menu with daily menu including a generous selection of drinks. The service was friendly and quick, the food we ordered came out of the kitchen promptly. 1a price/performance ratio. We were very satisfied 👍

A beautiful restaurant with delicious, very rich food. Quaint Rustic Friendly Delicious

Delicious Bavarian food & really big portions We had Kässpatzen, schnitzel and the Hayenpfanne, everything was very tasty! We also really liked the ambience and the service was good too! We felt very comfortable. 1 ⭐️I have to deduct because 2/4 people didn't tolerate the food well and still had some problems in the evening. Otherwise unreservedly recommended

Great Bavarian food! & really big portions. The ambience is great and the service is great all around! We felt very comfortable.

A really great restaurant. The two bosses are always nice and friendly despite the full house. The food is really great. Price-performance top. Highly recommended, but you should always make a reservation.

I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. ‼️ When I was there with my family, the service was very unfriendly and rude. The reaction to our order was unclear with derision. 🤨 For our question, sitting next to windows: of course we got a rejection, even though there was no one there for the next 1.5 hours. The food was so bad! That I would run away straight away. Just a fat! Who can eat it?!

A great restaurant. Very good cuisine. Very nice staff. After a short wait we got two seats, despite it being so full. The wait was worth it. We would love to come here again.

Super delicious food. Didn't wait long for a table after making a reservation. The food and drinks didn't take long to arrive. Great service and very nice employees

I absolutely loved the Spatzenhäus'l restaurant in the heart of Grainau. The service is extremely friendly and accommodating, you immediately feel welcome. The food is simply terrific – Bavarian cuisine at the highest level! Every dish is lovingly prepared and tastes fantastic. The atmosphere is cozy and traditional, which fits perfectly with the surroundings of the Zugspitzdorf. Overall, a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone who appreciates good food and warm hospitality. Definitely worth a visit!

Super nice boss/service You are served quickly and don't have to wait long for your food.

The food is very good, service is friendly We'll be back

The food at Spatzenhäus'l is delicious. The service seemed a bit overwhelmed, although everyone was treated very friendly. It's good if you reserve in advance, otherwise it's a matter of luck whether you get a table.

Wow, the food was super tasty, had Jägerschnitzel. It was very tasty and a large portion. The fries were also very flavorful. Top recommendation

Very tasty food Great and nice staff Absolutely recommended

Very good traditional Bavarian cuisine. If you want to eat here in the evening after the hike, I recommend making a reservation in advance. We came to the restaurant on a Sunday evening and it was very busy. The food and drinks came promptly and at the same time after ordering. We enjoyed it very much and would definitely come back.

Very good restaurant. Highly Recommended.

Very good food, reasonable prices but unfortunately you wait a long time for your drinks and bill. The service is very friendly but far too little for the number of guests and size of the restaurant. But we'd still like to come back

If you want to eat really good and delicious food in Grainau, you've come to the right place. The individual dishes, something for everyone, are very tasty. The portions themselves are just right after a strenuous hike. In terms of price, everything is okay. Very nice atmosphere, you can also sit outside. The service is very good. Nice and friendly. The boss has everything under control, which is something you rarely see. A lot to do and always friendly and always a kind word for the guests. Great!! However, it is advisable to reserve a table in advance.

Delicious food, great atmosphere

Huge portions Quality and taste are ok - not a highlight. Unfortunately, service that evening was quite overwhelmed by the number of guests, so that a queue formed in the restaurant: some were waiting for their reserved table, others wanted to pay. Dealing with guests in a Bavarian direct way. It can definitely come across as a bit harsh. All in all ok, but I don't have to have it a second time.

Very tasty homemade Food, large portions at fair prices, fast and extremely friendly staff, we went there again straight away

Rarely eaten so well. A must for your next Grainau vacation

The service staff is hopelessly overwhelmed. The organization is pretty bad and the waiters spread a bad mood. There was a hectic and tense atmosphere in the restaurant. Both with the staff and with the guests. After 20 minutes we left without being able to order.

I ate here for the 4th time today and am always amazed at how good the food tastes. Yesterday we had crusty roast with fresh dumplings and coleslaw with bacon. As always, the service was very quick and friendly and the prices are relatively cheap for the Garmisch area.

Guests who had reserved had to wait. The interaction with the guests was very unfriendly. If you stood in the way, you would be grabbed by the arm and pushed to the side - that's not acceptable in my opinion. The staff didn't know which food belonged at which table and repeatedly stood there randomly calling out to the beer garden who had ordered xy. The way the staff interacted with each other was also rude, accusatory and disrespectful. Unfortunately, that completely spoiled our evening.

Unfortunately, expectations were not met! The service was stressed and inattentive, not recommended if you don't just want to be full but want to be served in a friendly manner, there was no water for the dogs... we would have had some with us if it were usual for there not to be any, well in the future we will always remember that!!!

A quaint Bavarian restaurant. We really liked the selection of food. The dishes tasted good. Unfortunately, we were unlucky on the day of our visit. Unfortunately, the service and kitchen were overloaded, which is why we had to wait longer for service and food.

Super delicious food, service totally overwhelmed, ordered food was exchanged for an alternative dish without asking, eternal waiting times for menu, drinks and food.

Food very good, friendly staff, great ambience

Great restaurant, with fair prices and delicious food and good service.

Best restaurant in Grainau. Very nice and smart service. The food is of very good quality. It was very busy, it took a little longer to order, but the drinks and food were brought quickly. I can definitely highly recommend it. We were there twice within a week. Thank you for the nice service and the excellent food.

I've never received such an unfriendly welcome. That's why there was no food 😡

Super delicious food we felt very comfortable Great ambience and super friendly service Gladly again and again

Certainly a great place for meat lovers, even if I didn't really like my knuckle. However, if you are looking for fish or vegetarian dishes, you are unfortunately in the wrong place here. Reservations are definitely an advantage, we saw several people who were turned away because there was no more space. The service was very nice.

Strange attitude - they gave a table to people who came later than me. If you don’t speak German do not expect decent service.

Went there for the second time today and had a very good meal again. The first time we didn't make a reservation, but we still got a table quickly and easily for a quick meal. The portions are more than generous, and what you can't manage can be taken away. Friendly service, we were very satisfied and will come back 👍🏻

The food was very tasty and we spontaneously got a seat even without a reservation. The service was very friendly.

Very nice restaurant, nice service, fast service, food was delicious.

We went there spontaneously for dinner. Although the restaurant was fully booked, we were spontaneously allowed to take a seat at the regulars' table and had a very nice conversation with an older couple who probably used to run a shoe shop in Munich. Food was great!

The service is friendly, the food comes very quickly and is very tasty. There are a few parking spaces available on site. Otherwise easy to reach on foot. Reservations should definitely be made during the holiday season and on weekends. We were very satisfied.

Excellent Bavarian restaurant with very friendly service and very good cuisine. We spontaneously had dinner here after other restaurants turned us away before 7 p.m. with the message "no more kitchens". Here we were immediately served in a friendly manner despite the full house. The restaurant is very cozy and the menu is very broad. The service is really on point and very friendly (compliments!). The portions are very large and the food tasted excellent. If you don't make it, you'll immediately be asked if you want to take the rest with you -> Great! For vegetarian guests the selection could be a little more limited. Card payment is possible, which is also great because not everywhere in town you have already arrived in the present. Full marks, clear recommendation.

Super delicious food Nice service

We sat there for about 30 minutes and no one served us until then. At some point I asked if we could please order something. The answer was that it would take some time. My question is whether it is possible to wait 30 minutes without even being offered a drink. The answer: “Yes, you can see that it is possible.” I have never been treated so rudely. We also saw that other guests were treated rudely. “No special requests, it's full here today!!!” Overall, a correspondingly hectic and terrible atmosphere. Far too few and at the same time overwhelmed and cheeky staff.

Absolutely delicious. 😋 😋 😋 Highly recommended.

We stopped in spontaneously without a reservation and were lucky enough to get a seat. Extremely friendly service and we hadn't eaten so well in a long time! Due to the influx of guests who enter the restaurant every minute, you have to wait a little longer for service, but they make up for it with their great manner. We really liked it. Thanks

Food very good. Service very good. Ambience very good. Friendliness very good.

As others have already written, the first bad impression upon arrival is not deceptive. The poor service, expressed by unfriendly service and a 20-minute delay in serving the dishes for three people, is one thing, the hard-dried egg on the salad and the cold frozen vegetables (!) with the boiled beef is another. It's better to cook at home and grab a snack from the nice lady at mini golf. Absolutely not recommended.

We ate delicious food on two evenings and were served very nicely and courteously despite the hut being full. A big compliment to the whole team!

The food is really extremely tasty and the portions are very good. We had the venison goulash and the crusty roast. Can highly recommend both. The drink prices are quite high and the staff could be a bit warmer and try not to seem rushed all the time, even though I know the job is stressful.

We were there for dinner. It was very busy, we had reserved and registered early. Everything was made possible. The inn was full to the brim, all the adjoining rooms and also the outside area. We were greeted warmly, got drinks quickly and the food didn't take long to arrive. We really enjoyed the food. In between, a stack of plates fell over, but that too was dealt with confidently. As a guest, we never had the feeling that it was too stressful. This sounds more hectic than it felt. Not the cheapest meal in the region in terms of price, but absolutely worth the money. Absolutely recommended.

Delicious food delivered quickly!

Everything is very regional and rustic - from the service to the food and the ambience. We enjoyed and enjoyed it!

Very tasty and very nice service.

A dream. Food excellent. Service quick and attentive. Highly recommended

Unfortunately the waitress was very stressed during dinner. There was no one to be seated without a reservation and it took 40 minutes just to order. The food came quicker than the order. The food was too salty and when I told them they didn't take my feedback seriously and just said this was the best food in the restaurant. How poor they are.

It was a bit noisy (the place is always packed: children, dogs, etc.) and the service was very hectic. Food was good. Without a reservation you won't get a seat

A typical German restaurant in its own right, with ultra-fast service and generous dishes. It’s very good and the restaurant is worth the detour. A little difficult to make yourself understood and it is necessary to book. This does not detract from the charm and quality of the establishment.

I waited an hour for my food to find out that they no longer had the dish. Then they tried to persuade me to order something else. Nice atmosphere, but temporary help is missing. I waited very long to be waited on and then even longer for my meal never to arrive. After an hour in total, I was finally told that they had run out. The server then pressured me to order something different, which at that point I was not interested in doing. I was extremely hungry by now and it was already late. The atmosphere was nice, but they are clearly understaffed for such a volume of tourists.

Unfortunately the waitress was absolutely unfriendly and arrogant. After we were grumpily assigned a table after a long wait despite having a reservation, we were constantly ignored. Even a polite inquiry after some time did not cause her to at least notice us or take the drinks. After a long and unsuccessful wait, we decided to go again. We have rarely felt such an unfriendly and cold atmosphere in a restaurant.

Stopped in with my family incl 2 and 6 year old without a reservation… service excellent as was the food. Leberknoedel zuppe along w schnitzel and pork …. + salad …. All was wonderful

Super delicious food, special requests are also fulfilled.

Super delicious cheese spaetzle!

Great restaurant, typically Bavarian! Local cuisine, excellently prepared and the owner takes great care of her customers ❤️ The restaurant is always full, reservation recommended. Restaurant to absolutely recommend!

We had dinner here. The restaurant is traditionally and comfortably furnished. The staff was friendly. Nevertheless, she wrote down the right dish (it was on the receipt), but brought the wrong thing twice. The second time we didn't want to say anything else so as not to make the situation uncomfortable. That food tasted good. We once had two different types of meat with sauce and a potato dumpling and once we had (actually tomato) spaetzle. The meat was good, but was swimming in the sauce. Opinions are probably divided here (it has to swim in sauce or it's better to portion the sauce and add it yourself if necessary). It was too much sauce for me anyway. The spaetzle was also good. However, there were many pieces of fried onion that were too hard and unchewable. The dessert - apple fritters with vanilla sauce - was very tasty. Even though it is a traditional restaurant with good home-style cuisine and probably wants to present it that way to the outside world, it is a shame that vegetarians have little choice here. We paid around 54 euros for both dishes including dessert and two beers. This is an absolutely fair price.
