Sternbäck in Würzburg

After my first visit last week, Sternbäck has become my favorite pub in Würzburg. In addition to charming service, there is a selection of regional cuisine and numerous types of beer on tap. I was particularly impressed by the Distelbacher Weizen. When the weather is good, it's pretty crowded outside. I've been lucky so far and been able to share a spot with a friend. After 11 p.m., when the city of Würzburg opens the sidewalks, things can continue in the pub. I'm already looking forward to the next visit!

The food was delicious, especially the baked potato, although you can't go wrong with it :) the service was very nice and the waiting time for the order to be taken and for the food to arrive was also very short. Can recommend it!!

Delicious food, good menu, perfect service

I missed the typical Franconian dishes!

We waited 30 minutes for a cellar to serve us. But no one came even though there were enough staff there. We then left.

Place in the center of Wurzburg. It offers typical cuisine, excellent for a quick stop, or for a real lunch. Fast service. Friendly and helpful staff: one of us is celiac and the waiter helped us choose gluten-free dishes. Excellent value for money.

Incredibly delicious food, I had the “sternipfännchen”. A delicious schnitzel with delicious spaetzle and a very tasty mushroom cream sauce. The service is also very trained, knows all the dishes and was friendly to match the Brauhausfler. The ambience is great, on two floors with several rooms that are all decorated a little differently, you feel rustic at home!!!!

Great middle-class restaurant/pub. No matter whether you want to eat delicious food or just drink one or two unfiltered cellar beers on tap at the bar - Sternbeck is very, very cozy and delicious!!! Cozy....especially the Loriot sofa on the upper floor😁 Vegetarian and vegan dishes need to be introduced a little more.

Very nice staff, delicious food, great atmosphere! We were there several times 3 years ago and we would love to come back!

Good food in the center of Wurzburg

Traditional German food. Highly recommend the Weißwurst

Nice beer garden, quaint restaurant. The staff was friendly and customer oriented. The only downside: the sauce on the currywurst I ate was far too spicy for me personally.

A highlight in Würzburg, such a cool place. Cozy, loud, original, and lots of beers on tap. We had tarte flambée, currywurst and grilled sausages, which were very good. We were too late for the warm chocolate cake, bad luck. Very nice and funny waiter, great prices. For us the best atmosphere in Würzburg!

very good beer, perfect burger, good music, we'll go here again... top

Very nice stay, friendly service

We've been coming here on Shrove Tuesday for years - but on March 4th, 2025 it was atmospheric - and... Music technically a nightmare! - very poor for a carnival event. The restaurant is no longer full at 9:30 p.m. as it used to be! A real mood brake - unfortunately.

Very great, middle-class and rustic inn. Good and fast service. Food of the size and quality you would expect from a pub. Thumbs up for our recommendation.

Nice restaurant in the middle of Würzburg

We were recommended Sternbäck by friends and were there for the first time. Everything was good: service, location and food. I would go there again, but there is still a little potential for a 5 star rating. Keep it up and maybe see you again soon…✌🏼

One of my favorite bars in Würzburg

The restaurant is super rustic and authentic and serves good modern-day food but also classic dishes of top quality

Great quaint restaurant. Very attentive staff. The food was plentiful and tasted very good! We stopped by by chance and will definitely stop by when we are in Würzburg again. Big praise from South Baden 👍😉

Nice pub in town. We were there for lunch and had drinks and a semolina dumpling soup. The red wine was okay but nothing special, the beer was well tempered and tasty, the soup was decent. The service was nice and very quick.

Nice rustic economy. Various small rooms. Accessible only via stairs

Very friendly staff, delicious food. Portions are big!

Great beer and atmosphere! Not to mention the perfect location to warm up.

I always enjoy going here. Great place to be.

Didn't eat here, but grab some beer. It was nice and great atmosphere.

Celebrated New Year's Eve in this restaurant. It was very comfortable and we spent a few hours enjoying great food and entertainment. Big compliments to Lutz, who served us that evening. We are happy to recommend this restaurant.

Unfriendly service, two guests were thumbs down

Most unfriendly restaurant in Würzburg.

Good inn with good beer and fine food

It was an outstanding afternoon with incredibly good food. Service was incredibly kind and attentive. That's how it should be!!!

Unfortunately very expensive and not particularly high quality either. Friendly service and a nice, rustic atmosphere. Good beer

Quaint restaurant and good food

A nice gasthaus with Franconian charm.

Classic, small, rustic “corner pub” with traditional Franconian cuisine. The food is stable, but what ultimately convinced us was the excellent service, which was absolutely attentive and friendly even in a stressful, full hut! It's a bit of a shame that we sat right in front of the front door and it was a bit drafty.

great atmosphere, great service, delicious food

The atmosphere is very friendly and the service very fast. I love the interwar setting ❤️

Food was great but the waiter is smug and conceited. If you're looking for good service, you're in the wrong place here.

Very nice, rustic inn with very tasty food and great 🍺 beers. The staff was great, would love to come back.

Very tasty food and very nice service

We just had a drink. Unfortunately. We really liked the atmosphere, the staff and the facilities. We'll definitely be back.

One or two beers - always guaranteed with good conversation

Great service from Hannah. Great evening, gladly again.

Great pub. Haven't eaten. 6 beers on tap.

Not just during carnival time. Great local. If I lived here, it would be my favorite bar.

What a super nice restaurant, not big but what an atmosphere, straight out of a Harry Potter movie, too cute and very nice service. Food very tasty and atmosphere pleasant. Lots of regulars which certainly makes it more fun.

Great honest pub. Decent service. Were just there for a drink. It's worth it. Very cozy

Very quaint restaurant, good food and nice service, plus good value for money.

A really cozy place in Würzburg and if nothing is open, you can stay here. Food good, service too. On special days like Christmas, it's best to make a reservation for breakfast.

Very good food and fast, very friendly service

Rustic, cozy, and delicious food

Many varieties of beer from the barrel. I liked the pils.

Nice atmosphere, large beer garden, attentive staff. Unfortunately only 3 stars for the food, which is very good, but was only served lukewarm twice and with cold fries in the beer garden.

Just had something to drink. The place is probably popular with young and old. It's not really quaint. Pretty bright.

Service was great, food was very good and we sat outside very nicely!

Unfortunately, the price/performance ratio for the food wasn't that convincing. Otherwise very nice location and nice staff

Arrived in Würzburg this evening and first looked around where you could eat. I immediately discovered this beautiful restaurant. You can have a really great meal here and the beer selection is great too

The waiter in the restaurant was very unfriendly. Very friendly in the beer garden

Incredibly rude and unhelpful Barman said I couldn’t sit outside because tables were damp. When I said I didn’t mind he continued with an unpleasant attitude. This is one of countless negative reviews. Do not come here! Very negative towards tourists.

Road trip in Bavaria, we stopped in Würzburg on a Sunday. We ordered three supposedly typical Bavarian dishes, we were literally fooled!!!! Still, rate it at 4.3/5. I'll show you the dishes. It's a shame. To summarize, we ate products from Lidl sous vide, which you buy for two to three euros no more

Weisswurst breakfast was a disaster. Never had such bad white sausages/pretzels before.

Delicious! Cheese spaetzle recommended! 🤤🤤🤤

Currywurst was tasty, the cheesespätzle a bit tasteless and boring

Very nice, cozy restaurant with great food, a large selection of delicious drinks, small but impressive inside. Large outdoor area. Fast great service. A clear recommendation in Würzburg.

Had burger and salad and was delicious. Was going for the ribeye but €31 excluding fries (extra €7) is a rip off so went for burger (which still isn't cheap at €17) excl fries... probably coz in tourist part

Rustic restaurant, intended more as a pub with beer. The wine wasn't bad either, portions were relatively small and the food was average, hardly seasoned.

Boss a bit unfriendly under stress

The combination of a cozy beer bar and a good home-style restaurant is what makes it.

Service great, food also very tasty

They offer amazing dish, schnitzel with spätzle, mushrooms and cheese. Great drinks. They also offer great service. Very nice waiters.

Nice beer garden with a small but good menu. However, I only drank and can't rate the food. Visually, everything looked great.

We had cheese spaetzle, which comes with salad, and the cordon bleu. The former is recommended because the price-performance ratio is right, but the Cordon Bleu is not worth the attention that comes with an order. The table could have been cleaned, otherwise service was great. Yummy wine. A clear 7/10

Cheese spaetzle with salad. Unfortunately, the finished spaetzle product only had cheese on it, not incorporated as in the original. Mountain cheese was not used either. Salad was drowned in dressing. Okay for a beer bar but not for quality cheese spaetzle. Too bad

Excellent cafe. Nice meal! Nice staff!

Highly recommended, food was very tasty, great service and very child-friendly.

Tourist trap. Food was bad, you get treated worse if you are a tourist. The table next to us ordered the same stuff and they got double the portions sizes and way better food only because they were Germans. Avoid this place.

Great Food and atmosphere. Lutz was our server. Recommended a really nice bear. Great sense of humour and very helpful. Fantastic place to spend a Sunday afternoon.

The debate… did they serve me a beer that is half head and under the dosage mark because they don’t know how to serve a beer? Is it something else… should I send it back? Ah no, everyone has the same experience. Prices are high very touristy. Huge bread board with three small slices of bread but you can buy more bread but you will pay by the slice.

Simply good food and delicious drinks

Authentic Bavarian food, Schweinehaxe and white sausages, food was good it's not a fancy place but totally fine, price value also good. Here it's more about the heavy food and beer. Nice area to sit outside Biergarten style but also inside, it's pretty much at the center of Würzburg.

Great service and the food was also very good. Huge portions. The service staff Lukas and Palina are particularly worth mentioning.

A good looking place where eating or drinking. We arrived a bit late, the kitchen was ready to close but they were kind to cook for us. Thanks. We took Sterni Burger, it was delicious.

Excellent address for a white sausage breakfast!

Very good place where you can eat without worries on the terrace in sunny weather. The food is very good and the staff is very friendly. The prices are clearly correct

The food was tasty. The service was friendly. It was very crowded. You should pre-order.

Good food, great beer and friendly staff, but service a little slow

We happened to pass by here and it looked very cozy from the outside. Service was TOP, the food was absolutely delicious and the prices were also completely reasonable. We will definitely come back the next time we visit Würzburg.

Nice restaurant in the city core. Friendly staff. Perfect place to sit and people watch.

I only bought a pretzel to take away which was very good 👍

Top service! We accidentally lost our room key in a nearby trash can. The staff made everything possible so that we could get the key back. A big thank you again to the entire staff.

Good food. But the dish is not that big compared to the price. Otherwise a nice place👍🏻

Food was nothing special but good. Service very quick and very nice. Even though it was very crowded it went quite quickly

The pork shank is reheated and baked as if for the third time. Hard, not very tasty.

Ok food. Ordered 1 glass of wine when the food arrived on the table. After 15 minutes we ask the waiter for the wine, and get the answer that we are not the only guests here. When another waiter comes with the wine glass, he is unlucky and spills 4 pints of beer over one of us and she has to go home to change. This waiter apologizes and leaves. When we comment on this to our waiter, we get a rude and arrogant reply that he saw she was wet and assumed it was sweat. We have never experienced such treatment before. There are many other restaurants in Weinsburg - choose another one!

Unfortunately we had to wait quite a long time before we were served. Then the food came about 20 minutes later, that's perfectly fine. The pan was mega and worth every cent. Unfortunately, the schnitzel was an absolute child's portion, so the colleague had to get a second course elsewhere. It was tasty nonetheless. Especially the beer!

Very nice, old German atmosphere, very good service and good home cooking. You can stay comfortably here 🙂

Nice location. Sat outside and drank a few beers (delicious draft beer). Service was friendly and attentive, even though it was quite busy. Highly recommended.

Lively city centre boozer, had the burger!
