Steakhaus Zur Waffenschmiede in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

We were warmly welcomed and the service asked us to be patient as the restaurant was very busy. We ordered an appetizer to pass the time. The beef steaks were cooked just as we ordered. To our surprise, we learned that the landlady, now 77 years old, was in the kitchen and prepared everything herself. Our greatest respect for this!

If you were lucky, you got a place without a reservation twice. Very accommodating and good food, nice atmosphere. I'd love to come back

Discovered a steakhouse by accident. Reserved for the same evening. The waiting times are a bit long, but we were informed of this. It wasn't a problem for us, so we ate a small starter. The wait was worth it. STEAKS were perfectly prepared. Everything was very tasty, absolutely recommended. The waiter was also very attentive, but not intrusive. We'll definitely come back again.

Excellent food, awesome atmosphere, Gigi our server was outstanding, he made our visit great.

This steakhouse is a hidden gem! The food is nothing short of amazing—perfectly cooked steaks with rich flavors that make every bite memorable. The sides were just as incredible, complementing the main dishes beautifully. The service was equally exceptional. Our waiter was communicative, attentive without being intrusive, and genuinely passionate about the menu, offering excellent recommendations. What truly sets this place apart, though, is its homely ambiance. The warm, inviting decor and comfortable seating make it feel like a second home. It’s the perfect spot for a cozy dinner or a special celebration. Highly recommend for anyone seeking great food, friendly service, and a welcoming vibe!

Wow!! This place is a hidden gem!! Our waiter Gigi was phenomenal!! The food was amazing, the restaurant was beautiful, the drinks were yummy. I really couldn’t say better things about this place!!

From my lovely restaurant for beef fillet, very nice place to sit and the price is also quite good. Not much choice for deserts.

Always great! Food fantastic and the friendliest & most accommodating team for decades (!!)!

A very nice, rustic restaurant with a unique ambience. You can't help but be amazed. The waiter was extremely friendly and the food was just perfect! Luckily we made a reservation, otherwise it would have been difficult to get a place there on Friday evening. We had to wait a correspondingly long time [approx. 1 3/4 hours] for our food... But we were also informed about the long waiting time right from the start. But as I said, the wait was absolutely worth it, I had a sirloin steak medium rare - really recommended!! Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back.

The three of us ate here on Friday and it was so delicious that we made another reservation for Saturday. The meat is absolutely amazing for the price, folks. Price-performance 1+! Gigi, the head waiter/manager, is a really funny and friendly person who also drank a few shots with us. We'll definitely be back next year.

The food was ok, nothing special just ok. The sangria was good, I liked it. The weiter was nice. What was the problem? I asked for extra salsa and they charged me 8€ extra without telling me in advance. I complained when we got the bill and they told me that is how it is in Germany, which is totally wrong. I have lived in Germany for 30 years and most of the extra sauce are free or maybe they will charge you a euro or a euro and a half for it but not 4 euros for a little tiny extra saucer (this is why we had two, because the portions was very very tiny). So, after I complained, the owner or manager came to us and told me I had to pay, I told her I will but I wanted her to know that I was not happy. Instead of her being understanding she was rude and ugly, she told me I will never be welcome in the restaurant again (not that I would ever come back), she was just so ugly. The ironic thing is that the weiter actually took the extra 8€ from the bill without the manager even knowing (which was very confusing to me) but she still was so ugly to me even accusing me, as I was leaving, for not leaving a tip for the weiter (which by the way, tips are not required in Germany). I had given the waiter 5€ tip for his service but I guess she didn’t see me doing that. Anyway, I just wanted to share my bad experience in a restaurant where owners/managers believe they are entitled to charge you wherever they want for extras without telling you in advance.

I've always enjoyed coming here for years. In addition to the special, cozy atmosphere, I always like the food here. The TexMex finger food is good. The chicken wings are marinated in a spicy way. But the steaks in particular are highly recommended here, but the vegetables etc. are also delicious. BUT the extremely (!) long waiting time for the main course (a good 1.5 hours) was far too long (2 people in the fairly well-arranged kitchen), at least it was communicated in advance. This essentially forces you to choose an appetizer if you don't want to starve. And more drinks are the side effect. Well, I can overlook that if necessary, but unfortunately my expensive asado was mixed this time, I haven't had anything like that here before (but also never in the Block House)... Very, very unfortunate. And be sure to reserve! By the way, there are no fish dishes here.

Very quaint restaurant with delicious food and excellent service. We were lucky and even got a seat without booking in advance. 👍🏼

Everything excellent! The waiter was very accommodating and friendly. The best steak we have ever eaten, very tender, falls apart in your mouth. One of the best and unique restaurants we have ever been to.

We reserved in advance. The restaurant is rustically furnished. Staff friendly and always asks if everything is okay. The steaks are cooked to perfection the way you want them. If you love all kinds of steaks, this is the place for you. Can be recommended.

The restaurant is a must visit. A very atmospheric place. The waiters are simply top class, very attentive and prudent. The food is delicious, great beer. In the evenings it is better to reserve tables, because there are simply no places

Rodeo Teller is an absolute recommendation

Really nice & rustically furnished steakhouse. Food is worth every euro and is a must when you are in Garmisch. And the innkeeper is unique, keep it up.

Despite spontaneous visits, we were not turned away. Very clocky atmosphere with charm. The waiter was very accommodating. Food very tasty and quality perfect. Prices ok. Hope to see you again again.

Excellent quality of food, super friendly service. Super cozy. We have already reserved again!

It was a dream again... I don't think you need to say anything more. Reservation in advance is highly recommended

Definitely make a reservation! Great service and world class food.

Extremely friendly and courteous staff. Food was on point and came together despite very different types of meat and cooking levels. Rarely have I been so convinced after a visit to a restaurant that I would visit it again.

Very interesting restaurant. Excellent spare ribs.

What sets the store apart is of course the ambience and the great food, which is of impeccable quality. Particularly noteworthy is the great service from the waiter, I have rarely seen so much professional commitment, the boss can and should count himself lucky. The man is great 👍 *100% recommended*

Super good food. The meat is excellent and the service staff is friendly and accommodating. Anytime again🤗

Great beef fillet to the point. Great service. Eating takes a little longer, but this is pointed out to you at the beginning. Quality top.

Were here on 8/10 at 12pm. The light beer on tap is highly recommended. There were two of us. My girlfriend ate spare ribs and she really enjoyed them. I also highly recommend eating a 300g fillet steak with pan-fried vegetables and pepper sauce. They did a great job medium rare. The price is all worth it.

Couldn’t believe how good the steaks were here (better than many steakhouses in the states). Great atmosphere, good beer, wonderful service. Will be back.

At 8:00 p.m. you can't get anything to eat because the kitchen closes at 9:00 p.m. and the restaurant is open until 11:00 p.m.

Very nice and attentive waiter, totally cozy atmosphere and absolutely delicious food. I'll be back.

The fillet steak even gets 6 points from us. The ambience hasn't changed in the last few years and that's a good thing, simply rustic. We'll definitely be back.

The best meat and the best waiter Mr. Gigi

Perfect steaks and stir-fries 👍 Plus fresh homemade sangria with pickled fruits 🍹

The best meal we had on our third day in Germany, including food and atmosphere, the service was also the best. Even though the waiter told us we would have to wait a long time, it was well worth it.

This place is amazing. 500 year old building. Cozy atmosphere. 75year old chef who knows how to prepare meat. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly. Hands down the best dinner experience we’ve had in quite a while. We had the bbq skewer with amazing sauce. We’re going back tonight for the ribs. It’s advisable to make a reservation, but there is a shared table available.

OMG! What an outstanding place. Excellent food, and the host was very accommodating. Went twice during our stay. Highly recommended. Everything was phenomenal!

A wonderful experience!!!!!! Cozy and warm ambience and appropriate decoration. Even though we were there spontaneously, we luckily got a place. The service was quick, very polite, in a great mood and still totally authentic, as was his colleague. From the exceptionally clean toilets to the cappuccino at the end, it's simply perfect! The food had the ideal cooking point and couldn't have been better seasoned and was even hot. Rarely visited such a brilliant restaurant! We were thrilled, will recommend it and look forward to the next visit! Best regards & thank you very much.

During my recent visit to this restaurant, I experienced hands down the best service I've had in Germany! The server was exceptional—attentive, helpful, and always with a smile. It truly made our dining experience memorable. The food was equally impressive. I ordered a steak, and it was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and exactly how I like it. My husband’s meal was also spot on, showcasing the chef’s skill and attention to detail. To complement our meals, I had a Tequila Sunrise, and it was absolutely delicious, perfectly mixed and refreshing. The atmosphere in the restaurant added to the overall experience. It was warm, inviting, and had a great vibe that made us feel right at home. The decor was tasteful, and the ambiance was just right for a relaxing evening out. Overall, this restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. From the outstanding service to the delectable food and wonderful atmosphere, it was a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service. We will definitely be returning!!

Authentic setting, good staff and delicious food!

Reservation recommended as it is well attended. Very good food, I can only recommend it. Service excellence. Inconspicuous from the outside but awesome from the inside.

Very very friendly service. Quality is very good and taste is great. Can only be recommended. Quaint and cozy

Historic place, very cozy, good prices, very nice staff.

Waiter best man and the food was also very tasty! Price performance top!!!! But you definitely have to make a reservation beforehand :) To the boss: you will never find a waiter like that again :) treat him well ;)

Rarely have I experienced such great, attentive service! Restaurant is very quaint, maybe a bit dark in places. Food was excellent. Reservation required.

Service war hervorragend, garstufe sehr gut getroffen, Fleisch und beilagen sehr gut, dipps hervorragend, Ambiente mit Liebe eingerichtet alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt

Super delicious food, great ambience and excellent service! We didn't have a reservation and were lucky to get a spot. Highly recommended.

One of the best steaks I've ever eaten. The waiter was very friendly and the small beer garden was beautiful. Highly recommended.

Das Essen ist jedesmal super lecker, die sind Hüftsteaks auf den Punkt gegart, so dass es jedesmal immer wieder ein Erlebnis ist! Der Kellner Gigi macht und tut und rennt für jeden Gast, nur damit es dem Gast auch gut geht und alle zufrieden nach Hause gehen. Hier ist der Gast jedenfalls noch König - und als Tipp, unbedingt vorher reservieren, damit man nicht enttäuscht ist, wenn alles ausgebucht ist!

Damn delicious food. The landlord really takes care of everything.

Came without a reservation and was assigned a seat...super nice service, totally accommodating, considerate...he puts his heart and soul into his work...food was freshly prepared, just took a little longer...it tasted great , side dishes were exchanged politely...we'll be back...in 2 years, as discussed...so soon😊keep it up👌👌👌

Super service , good food , ambiance super .

The food was excellent. What particularly stood out for us, however, was the service. We were there with our 1-year-old son and when we arrived the high chair was already ready and a small fork was also on the table. The waiter was very attentive without being intrusive, he was friendly, polite and always kept an eye out if something was missing, passed on important information and was very familiar with the menu. A service of this class is (has become) very rare.

Excellent food, excellent service, hospitable is the number one priority for both big and small and the location more than lives up to its name 👍

We happened to go to Garmisch-Partenkirchen again and I saw on Google Maps that there was a steakhouse nearby. We (2 adults and 1 child) spontaneously decided to simply ask if we could still get a place (5:47 p.m.). It was important to us that there was something to eat for children too. No sooner said than done and we called to see if there was a table for us at 6 p.m. The nice lady on the phone said there was another table at the entrance or we could sit somewhere else. We chose the table near the entrance. When we arrived there, we first admired the furnishings and were greeted with the words “Hello, nice to have you with us.” That alone is so friendly and nice! The cards were brought to us and it was also explained that there were children's menus (mega!!!) e.g. pancakes with applesauce or ice cream, a drink and ice cream as dessert or even nuggets. That alone is mega. The nice gentleman from the service then offered to give us advice after we looked through the cards. He also pointed out to us that our meal would take some time, but that they could bring our son's food earlier. That alone shows the fine sense of service for parents too. When we had chosen, he gave us some more information about the dish and the possible combinations. Which we gratefully acknowledged. The son's food was brought first so that we could eat in peace later. Our wait wasn't really long, and there was something to look at and marvel at everywhere. We both had the Steak Mendoza (beef rump with baked potato, sour cream, garlic baguette and herb butter) and as a family we also had Steakhouse Fries with sour cream. We didn't really need the fries but we didn't know what to expect but they were nice to have. The steak was a dream in terms of quality, seasoning and doneness (medium). The sour cream was delicately seasoned and was devoured down to the last drop. The herb butter was very, very finely balanced, the bread was crispy and the baked potato was rich. The best steak I've ever eaten and we've tried quite a few. I would have loved to strip out the pots and pans. As a farewell, our son was given the treasure chest where he was allowed to choose something. And I would like to emphasize again how friendly, committed and courteous the service was. This is what customer acquisition looks like. On the one hand, we had a wonderful last evening as a family on vacation and on the other hand, we were able to enjoy this high-quality cuisine and service. If we come to this corner again (and we will!) we know where we will go! The only point of criticism: today after 2 days I'm just living off the memories ;-))))

Ein sehr nettes Ambiente, mit äußerst netter und höflicher Bedienung. Das Essen war sehr lecker und hatte eine sehr hohe Qualität.

My steak was very tasty and reasonably priced. The service leaves nothing to be desired. Ambience very nicely done. The steakhouse is busy, so a reservation makes sense!

Definitely worth a visit. Nice service, super good food.

Food was very good. Today was a rather stressful day and we had to wait longer for the food, but we were informed early enough and didn't mind. Meat was incredibly fresh and delicious. Conditions friendly and helpful. Very nice restaurant. I would come again.

The food is very tasty, the waiter is very accommodating. We sat here very comfortably and you immediately feel at home.

Very average food, an hour and a half of waiting, everything was oversalted, the ribs were constant, I don't recommend it at all

Very atmospheric and very tasty

Nice quiet location, the steak was excellently seasoned and my wife's grill plate was excellent and filling! The service was nice and open-minded! We will come back and recommend you! Kind regards, Bernd and Sandra Rautenberg.

Very good place. Professional service and good food, nice ambiance.

A recommendation if you are here in Garmisch...

Cool atmosphere! The waiter loves his job, food was too delicious! Absolute recommendation!!

Tolles Restaurant, sehr gemütlich und das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns super wohlgefühlt, denn der Gast ist hier wirklich König! Das Essen war grandios, da gibt es nichts zu meckern. Wenn wir das nächste Mal hier Urlaub machen, kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder!

Every year again, the food is a dream and the service is excellent... 👍🙋‍♂️😀

Wir kommen seit vielen Jahren immer wieder gern her und genießen die Steaks. Immer wieder toller Service von Gigi. Uneingeschränkt weiterzuempfehlen!

We had a great evening. The service was super friendly. Advance reservation is recommended.

It was a wonderful day. Which was topped in the armory. The ambience was great, the waiter said it would take a while, we took a starter and very soon the main course came It was really very good If I could give it 6 stars I would We were served very well and the food and atmosphere were great

Great experience, excellent food and the staff is warm and welcoming. Will come again.

Great food and great service. Recommended!!!

Service 11/10 Reserved a table straight away - a must when you're in the city!

Everything was absolutely perfect!! Amazing food, amazing service.

Had an amazing experience here. The best service I've had since living in Germany. The food and ambience was absolutely perfect. If I lived in the area, I'd definitely be a regular. Highly recommend!

Quaint restaurant. I had a steak. That was perfect. My wife had spare ribs. These were also very tasty. 👍🏻

The visit is a must for anyone who appreciates quality! The service is top and the advice is great. The ambience is also great and something for everyone who likes it cozy and cozy. The food was so good that we ate there twice 😁🙈 So all in all... super good! Keep it up !!!

Service at its finest. Courteous, friendly and clear. Absolutely world-class food at very fair prices for the quality of the meat. Complete satisfaction. Facility simply sensational. A house with a lot of history. Congratulations.

An extraordinary restaurant that used to be a gunsmith, the ambience and decoration looks accordingly. We think it looks great. A very friendly and very helpful waiter, something I have never experienced before. The food was tasty, but the portion could be larger, hence only 4 stars.

After a long time we went to the restaurant again and didn't regret it. We didn't have a reservation for 6 people, but we got a nice table and the service was courteous and helpful. The dishes we ordered were sumptuous and delicious.

Very nice cozy restaurant. The service is very nice, friendly and has fun. The food is excellent. Sangria is also recommended. Just great

Great ambience and very tasty food. The service was to die for. Friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back on our next vacation. Our dog wasn't a problem either. Thank you, we felt very welcome

Fabulous little hole in the wall find. Really top notch steak. I had the fillet with peppercorn sauce and fried potatoes. Hubby had the ribeye with fries and was raving about his. The service was also top tier! Great experience, Great price that would likely be double or more in the states. Definitely get a reservation, it's a small place and got busy quickly.

Exceptional service, food and venue. Some of the most delicious steaks I’ve eaten and the waiter was 10/10.

After a strenuous mountain tour, we rewarded ourselves with an excellent meal. It tasted excellent and both the service and the ambience were perfect.

A clear insider tip. The ambience is really great, you are in a very pleasant atmosphere. The staff, especially waiter Gigi, is very polite, friendly and accommodating. The meal was a delight. The portions are large and the price/performance ratio is absolutely right. The quality of the food is excellent. The boss cooks herself and also came to the table for a little advice. It is important to make a reservation here, otherwise it will be difficult to find a place.

Very nice restaurant. The ambience in the restaurant is very nice, outside it is rather simple, but also OK. Service was courteous and nice, unfortunately it took a while for drinks for whatever reason. Unfortunately I wasn't convinced by the food. The portions were large and the meat was well prepared, but not really tasty... Spare ribs and the beef steak were really disappointing. All of the side dishes were very average, the only thing we liked was the pork steak. Sorry, but that's why I'm only giving you 3 stars overall.

Unique atmosphere like in the Middle Ages, simply brilliant, you have to know it! Very good food !

Very cute restaurant, really rustic decorated, with history. The food is simply great, and the price is really great and fair. One of the best waitresses I've seen and met in a long time, super friendly and on point. You should probably reserve well in advance. Will definitely come back when we are nearby.

We were lucky to get a table in the evening. Were warmly welcomed by the waiter and served very well. The atmosphere is rustic and very cozy. It took a while for the food to arrive, but it was super tasty. Everything nice and hot and fried to perfection. The ribs are recommended but everything else was great too. The waiter was very attentive and the toilets are also clean.

Superb restaurant, excellent service, quality food for s reasoyprice. Been here before and will come again 😃👍👍👍👍👍

Urig und sehr zu empfehlen denn ich habe selten so gut gegessen. Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Service Mitarbeiter. Mir hat es sehr gefallen.

Sensationally reserved again for the next day

I highly recommend it!!! The service is great and so accommodating, just great

I searched Google for a steakhouse in Garmisch and came across this restaurant within walking distance of our guesthouse! In short it is a great, tasty and very friendly restaurant! Children are also welcome here! Food was very tasty, the waiter was very, very friendly! The decor is very rustic, but that's exactly what makes it so cozy. When we are back in Garmisch-Partenkirchen we will definitely come back!

The food is absolutely great, it's a bit more expensive but it's absolutely worth the price, the waiter is the best man!!

Einfach wunderbar...da stimmt alles! Wir waren mit unseren Töchtern hier, die das Lokal bereits kannten. Ein gutes Steak wollten wir essen...es hat alle Vorstellungen übertroffen...wir kommen wieder!

We discovered the armory by chance yesterday and were very excited. Cozy furnishings with a medieval flair and the food was excellent. We particularly remember the waiter very positively: he was extremely courteous and attentive. He does his job with heart and soul! Simply recommended.

Sehr sehr leckeres Essen super gemütliches Ambiente. Die Bedienung arbeitet mit Herzblut. Absolut Empfehlenswert!!!
