Trödler zur Burgschenke in Esslingen am Neckar

Great food, absolutely the best service! How the team treats guests is rarely seen anymore. Always my pleasure! Only recommended!

Great here! Ritterburg, very good, very good service, really the best beer & solid food :) Even when the house is extremely full, you still get a “private spot” under the roof - awesome! ❤️

The entertainment was really good. But don't go hungry. Flädle soup and salad fill you up long before good food arrives. Unfortunately, the jousting buffet no longer has anything to do with knight's food as we knew it. Watery beer and mead on an allotment then round off the menu.

Extremely small portions, but very expensive. Food arrives for a table with a difference of up to half an hour. Not recommended.

Since the change in ownership, many improvements have been noticed compared to before. The entire team is super friendly! Everyone, even the cook, takes time for the guests. The atmosphere (especially in the run-up to Christmas) is wonderful. The large terrace is great in summer and there is a cozy atmosphere inside. The food is a 10 out of 10. We feel very comfortable here and come here regularly to eat. This is also the right place to celebrate special occasions. We look forward to many evenings to come with the new team from the junk dealer at the castle! Keep it up! M. & D.

We went to a junk dealer's on a Saturday evening. Service and food were top. We had a lot of fun and everything was as you would expect a dinner with friends to be.

The worst service I have ever experienced! Unfriendliness, this is your home!

It was empty but we waited 50 min for our food (5 persons) Appetizers were not given earlier but with the main course. The fries and food in general was very oily, the schnitzel was just ok but it looked fried. Kinda expensive if you know the quality of the food. On the good side, you have a great view and the decorations are very cozy inside. Would I visit again? No.

A very nice atmosphere and perfect service. Despite the group size of 12 people, it was quick and very good.

Top service, food really good aaaand!? Big portion. Probably not nice in summer but very nice!

Super tasty… finally another veal cordon blue with very crispy fried potatoes. Service very attentive and friendly. We're already looking forward to summer on the terrace.

Welcoming climate, soft music in the background, kindness of the owner, we came for a snack but we will definitely return for dinner, they have typical cuisine so we can't help but return

Restaurant with a “Château” atmosphere. You are welcomed with a smile and without obligation to speak the language of the country (English recommended for ease if you are frustrated with German) by pleasant and caring staff, present without being intrusive. You can choose whatever you want on the menu, everything is good. Don't hesitate, everything is very good

Ambiance good, service bad, long waiting times, overwhelmed. I had ordered food when all the other guests' food arrived and I was told my food was out and I had to choose another one... that is, everyone had eaten and I waited 15 minutes. It was given incorrectly when paying. The menu was moldy and only stayed there because of the hungry children. Food was generally not good, steak was completely dry, grilled sausage was burnt, was cooked very heavily with flavor enhancers, children didn't eat their food. A complete failure in terms of food and service

Not too expensive, plentiful dishes and excellent service.

Very nice restaurant near the rampart after the few hundred steps to get there. The dishes are very good and very generous. A real treat 😁

As always, super delicious! Nice atmosphere and always friendly staff. Always a pleasure.

We held our wedding there in May 2024 after having eaten there many times and always being completely satisfied! The food was first class, the ambience and service were great, the location, the Uhrigen Castle, is simply great. Food absolutely delicious and definitely worth the money! The staff left nothing to be desired for our wedding! Absolutely recommended! Thank you very much and see you soon!

Great staff, drinks and food came super quickly and the service was great! The highlight was the best roast onion I've had in a long time.

Very tasty and hearty food as well as nice staff. Additionally, the ambience of the interiors and the location contribute to a lovely daytime experience. Would love to come here again.

We celebrated our wedding at Trödler and I have to say it was sensational. Compliments to the kitchen and the sensational service, which everyone scored with competence and professionalism. Thank you for the unforgettable evening. You have new regular guests.

We had a company event there with around 100 participants. The buffet was good and plentiful, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was great - a clear recommendation

Neither good nor bad. OK for lunch.

Super friendly service, a really nice atmosphere with an amazing view and very authentic cuisine. Had an onion roast, which I can warmly recommend. I would love to come back.

Very friendly staff and impeccable food. Dog was allowed in too...great...

Very good Swabian restaurant with really excellent service. Overall, a great price/performance ratio in a rustic atmosphere. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

The food was delicious, the service good. We were very satisfied.

We always enjoy being guests because everything just fits. That's why it was obvious (also because of the location "Dicker Turm") that you would be our address for our wedding. The entire service from the stand to dinner was great, the food was rich and delicious 😋 and everyone was thrilled. You played a key role in making this day a special one. We will always be happy to come back. Thank you

Great food, nice service and beautiful medieval walls.

Very nice service, the homemade potato soup with bacon (starter) was very tasty!

Very cozy and delicious food. Thanks for the crime dinner

End point of a hike from Rotenberg to Esslingen. Went here

Very good service and food. One of the owners was our server and was very polite and recommended the best food and drink for us. I will definitely be back!

Great food, service and new owners. Keep coming back and see what’s going to happen. I’ll be back!

It's always a highlight to be there. Delicious food, great service and a fantastic environment. Been going there for years and the quality is always perfect.

Delicious food and a great place to sit outside when the weather is good, inside looked great too.

Very good menu, very good food!! Service was very friendly and, despite many visitors (good weather Sunday), quite fast. It's also a nice place to sit inside. We'll be back, even if the weather is bad. Oh yes: decent quantities and prices are completely acceptable. We can recommend!!

We were able to celebrate our wedding with Jürgen and his team with around 70 guests. We couldn't have wished for a better location, the atmosphere in the beer garden was fantastic, the food was wonderful and the service team not only looked after us as the bride and groom, but also all the guests, so that we all felt completely at home. Even weeks later we still receive enthusiastic news about how wonderful the celebration there was!!! Thank you so much to all of you!

20 years of junk selling in Esslingen Castle. This used to be one of our favorite addresses when we wanted to treat ourselves to game or just something special. Also before a concert in Stuttgart. But unfortunately it happened more and more often that we were greeted with "Please eat quickly, many guests have requested" despite having a reservation. A very bad performance. - As good (and expensive) as the food is here, cozy hospitality is different. Very unfortunate. This means we are happy to forego the deer goulash for our anniversary.

Spontaneously went by with thirsty, tired children to explore the castle in Esslingen and was not disappointed! I was greeted and served in a super friendly and accommodating manner when I showed up alone with 3 children. Lunch was great value for money - huge schnitzel, with fries and a mixed salad, €12.90 and really incredibly tasty! Everything is obviously homemade (including potato salad), fresh and really big portions! It's almost unheard of since Corona - but apparently you can actually still dine like a knight at the castle. ☺️ I've already agreed with friends that we have to come for dinner soon. I'm looking forward to being able to taste the rest of the menu.

An excellent restaurant for relaxing with fine food and drinks.

Great food in terms of taste, excellent and I would like to highlight the apple fritters with vanilla sauce and ice cream. The service was absolutely top. We felt really comfortable. 😋😍

We invited our wedding guests to the Trödler and were thrilled by the atmosphere, the friendly staff and the delicious food!

Good Swiss sausage salad, attentive, friendly and competent service. If it wasn't raining I would stay in the lovely area Prefer a beer garden with a castle ambience, see you soon.

Great ambience and great lunch options :)

Good restaurant, with typical German dishes. Well decorated, consistent with its location in the castle.

As long as you pay they are friendly. But at exactly 11 p.m. you are brutally thrown out. And drinks payments at the outside bar go directly to a separate cash register. Nice black...

Ate very well. Chanterelle pan. Great atmosphere when the weather is nice.

Super tasty food, very good wine from the region, great ambience, very nice and competent staff, highly recommended

Very nice atmosphere, and the food tasted good, a bit salty but generous portions, reminiscent of the good old days

Excellent service and very friendly staff. We’ve been going there for years and it’s always a great experience!

Very friendly, attentive and humorous service (Nektarios and his colleague). Points for food: 3 (on the scale of 1-5). We'd love to come back. Jürgen and Franz from Munich.

Very friendly. And the food was great and the price was also very good. Swabian plate 22€, although I think this is a seasonal offer but still great

Nice view with very good food 🤩😋

Small and large favorite dishes. Veal sausages with good potato salad. I'M VERY HAPPY ABOUT BAISINGER BEER. CRYSTAL WHEAT IS WORLD FAMOUS. Outdoor dining in good weather

The food was okay but the service could have been better. Unfortunately I didn't stop by that often.

We went there for dinner several times. The service was inattentive, the food was extremely salty and barely edible last time. There is a nice view from the terrace, but inside it is less inviting and quite cool in winter...

Apart from the fact that the setting and the location in the castle between old walls and restored cannons in the countryside is simply brilliant, the hospitality was of the finest quality. The food was super tasty and everything was fresh and on point. The service also left nothing to be desired. Super cool people, courteous and on the ball. Nothing was missing and it was a lovely day and evening.

We had dinner here with a larger group of 12 people on a Wednesday. When we were greeted, we were told that there was only one waiter working in service and that it might take a little longer. He really did his job very well and exuded a calmness even in stressful situations that is sometimes missing in other restaurants when they are significantly less busy. For dinner I had the Swabian plate, which is currently on the menu for the anniversary. In addition to spaetzle, a small schnitzel, a Maultaschen, pork loin and a minced steak were served here. Unfortunately, the schnitzel was fried for far too long and was almost black in some places. Overall, the food was okay, but didn't really blow me away. There are better Swabian restaurants in Esslingen.

A very nice restaurant in the historic castle. From the beer garden you have a wonderful view of the castle. The food is also quite good, but I find the prices very expensive. You pay almost 5 euros for a Hefeweizen from Beissinger. The staff is usually very friendly, although unfortunately there are exceptions. All in all, the restaurant is definitely worth a visit.

Delicious food, great location, old castle in Esslingen am Neckar. Beautiful view of Esslingen from above. When the weather is nice there are also wonderful places outside.

The food was way too salty and the service was ignorant. Unfortunately there was no response to our criticism. The prices for this are clearly too high. A pity! We won't be coming back.

Very tasty food. Beautiful location, cozy atmosphere, I can recommend it, super attentive and polite service, I'll be happy to come back!

Nice beer garden, good food and the waiter was very friendly, helpful and quick. We'd love to come back. 👍

Be careful with the number of cards, especially with the gentleman who is a bit darker (dark hair, slightly stable) - he is also the only one who pays by card - it is said that it actually costs 20.20 euros. If you say you don't want to pay by card, you just have to wait a moment and the device will be brought. It will be a higher amount for me, 22 euros, so 1.80 more! He holds the device so cleverly that the amount he has typed is not visible while you hold out his card. Seems like he's had practice. We drank 2 times coffee, 1 poppy seed cake, 1 strawberry cake and 1 yeast wheat. That's a NOGO!! Otherwise the place, the ambience is great and the other team members of the service are great.

Great food, great service, great environment at the top of the castle.

A nice place to stay and enjoy the food

Very nice beer garden with a great view, great food and very friendly waiters.

We went there for dinner this evening. Food delicious, service top. Service staff great. Would love to come back.

The location of the "Trödler zur Burgschenke" in the grounds of Esslinger Castle invites you to visit, especially in the evening. Very friendly, attentive and fast service with a sense of humor. Food came quickly. Salad was fresh and varied. Main course was hot and very tasty - well prepared. The portions are very generous. Parking nearby (5 minutes away).

Insider tip. Don't take the bus. Walk to the castle from the parking lot. Top.

The lunch was very good and the service was nice.

If on the unprofessional responses from the owner 3 months ago. If you read, you should eat somewhere else. Criticism is important! You could do that! Grow! Good luck continues.

Friendly service and delicious food, not to mention the location in Esslingen Castle. Just beautiful.

Nicely located on the edge of the old town, the ambience is very good, the food is good. Price absolutely pleasant.

This extremely romantic restaurant is located in the picturesque setting of a castle complex and impresses with its wonderful atmosphere and inviting ambience. Particularly noteworthy is the beautiful view of the castle's inner courtyard. The dishes were not only presented in an aesthetically pleasing manner, but also demonstrated fresh preparation and loving hand. Served warm, the food impressed with its extremely good taste. In addition, the portions were generous, so that the price-performance ratio was completely convincing. What should also be highlighted is the extraordinary attentiveness and friendliness of the staff, whose excellent service ensured that the waiting time was only short. This experience was a complete success and made us feel extremely comfortable. Our heartfelt thanks go to the entire team. Conclusion: A culinary experience for all senses.

Two years ago, towards the end of Corona, we wanted to go in because it smelled very good there, but it apparently wasn't open to the public. Today not only was the beer garden open, but you could also sit inside (warm) with your dog. The dog was also warmly welcomed. The staff (3 of us in total) were not only quick and friendly, but even humorous. The food, as on the menu, good Swabian and very tasty. The food was served quickly and fresh. All dishes were very tasty. We were able to celebrate the 20th anniversary with the Swabian rolled roast. The side salad even had caraway seeds on top of the coleslaw. Large beer selection. The view of the castle is beautiful and the ambience is nice, stylish and appropriate. The toilets are also well maintained and well maintained. All around a pleasant experience. Gladly again :-)

Take a sunny war Day and enjoy open air balcony with magnificent view of Esslingen;) With a glass of local Esslinger wine and schwaebisch meals!

Rustic restaurant at Esslingen Castle

We went there for coffee after a walk around the castle. Very, very nice, super friendly and courteous staff! Our little dog wasn't a problem either. Cake was really tasty too! Cozy and rustic atmosphere. We'll definitely come back for dinner!

We had dinner here with our Chinese guests. Everyone liked both the ambience and the food. It was a great evening.

Very nice atmosphere and ambience, view is even more beautiful and special! Clean and groomed ! When the weather is nice, enjoy outside on the terrace. The restaurant is oriented towards traditional Swabian cuisine but also serves other dishes like in other restaurants! All products come from farms in the Schurwald, Aichwald! We are thrilled and very satisfied with what we ordered. Well prepared and tastefully decorated! Portions are big enough and the price is right! Hats off ! Service very friendly and nice. We are already looking forward to our next visit with you! Thanks !

Some of the staff were very unfriendly and the food was salty. For the price you can expect more. The cutlery is covered with water stains. If you point out the flaws you will be insulted in all languages! Never again!!!!

Totally disorganized and unprofessional. The food didn't taste good either. Not recommendable.

The location is beautiful but unfortunately let down by absolutely awful service. Additionally the toilet was completely unusable.

The large mixed salad was very tasty and the potato salad in it was particularly good. It's a shame there's no sausage salad. Friendly service.

Typically Swabian restaurant with good food. Everyone will find something on the menu and you will be served quickly. A great location, especially on Sundays, as other restaurants were open at lunchtime. Gladly again👍🏼

You are in an old castle, which has its own ambience and terms like romantic and cozy count. There's certainly nothing modern here, but it's warm and rustic and a little "worn" but clean and tidy. The food was excellent and the Swabian child's favorite salad - potato salad - was as expected. (Someone once posted that it wasn't good, that was embarrassing for Schwob) Everything we ate that evening tasted very good and the portions were large enough even for very good eaters. I would advise the person who couldn't find any parking here and would have to walk up from the city center to take a look at a city map, as Maps doesn't seem to be available on their mobile phone. The staff is friendly and strives to do a good job. Not easy in a very busy restaurant with a company and the only waitress. Big praise! The toilets are clean and have a combination lock that can be requested. Access for disabled people is difficult and unsuitable for wheelchairs. As already mentioned, you are in an old castle, which is also a listed building and owned by the city. Unfortunately, you have to come to terms with some facts in this regard. The sun terrace is a dream when the weather is nice.

Roast roast and salad OK. Unfortunately, fries aren't that special.

Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass hier vieles nicht selbst gemacht wird sondern fertig im Großmarkt gekauft wurde. Der Kartoffelsalat schmeckt beim besten Willen nicht wie selbstgemacht, die Suppeneinlage war vermutlich auch fertig gekauft. Getränke mussten mehrfach geordert werden. Für den relativ hohen Preis könnte man mehr Handwerk erwarten

Wir haben unsere Weihnachtsfeier hier veranstaltet. Es lief alles wunderbar und alle eingeladenen waren absolut zufrieden. Ordentliche Portionen, sehr leckeres Essen. Bedienung sehr sehr nett und aufmerksam. Hatten unsere Kinder mit dabei, man hat den beiden dann auch Spielsachen und Bücher gebracht, was ich sehr nett fand. Räumlichkeiten und auch die Toiletten sehr sauber. Kann ich absolut weiterempfehlen. Und das tolle ist, man kann danach als kleinen Verdauungsspaziergang noch die Burg Esslingen erkunden ;)

Waren hier zum Geschäftsessen mit mehreren Kollegen. Da die Feiertage bald anstanden, gab es eine gesonderte Speisekarte, jedoch nur mit den einfachsten "Standard" Gerichte. Das Essen hat dementsprechend leider auch nur durchschnittlich geschmeckt. Die meisten von uns hatten Schnitzel mit Pommes, die mit verpackte Ketchup- und Mayotüten serviert wurden (fanden wir nicht so appetitlich auf dem Teller). Auch das Zwiebelrostbraten oder das Steak waren nur durchschnittlich und somit in Ordnung. Beim Service hat einer unserer Kollegen nach zweimaliger Bestellung den ganzen Abend keinen Getränk erhalten. Bis auf diesen Vorfall, war der Service jedoch nett und versuchte sein bestes zu geben. Alles in einem ist es ein schöner Ort zum Speisen, jedoch vom Qualität etwas bedürftig im Vergleich zu den Preisen.

Wir waren mit 11 Personen zum Rittermahl in der Burgschenke. Ein sehr abwechslungsreicher Abend mit sehr leckerem Essen. Was ich hervorheben möchte ist die Tatsache, dass ein Teilnehmer glutenfrei essen muss. Nach Rücksprache im Vorfeld wurde genau geklärt was vom Buffet glutenfrei ist. Außerdem gab es großzügige glutenfreie Alternativen. Das finde ich super. Vielen Dank dafür.

Ein sehr gutes Restaurant in wunderschöner Lage. Das Essen war wunderbar und in großen Portionen angerichtet. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der nette und persönliche Service.

Freundiche Bedienung, Preis / Leistung stimmen such. Das Essen war locker.

Wir waren vor kurzem zu einer längeren Veranstaltung im Restaurant. Die Mitarbeiter haben sich um alle Wünsche und Anliegen sehr gut und zeitnah bemüht. Das Essen (u.a. Ein ganzes Schwein) war sehr gut und auch ansprechend dargeboten. Die Begleitung durch den Abend (über www.drachenkotze.de) war wirklich mal etwas anderes und hat viel Spaß gemacht. Ich würde wirklich gerne 5 Sterne vergeben - wäre da nicht die „Hygiene“ im Sanitärbereich. Einer von 2 Wasserhähnen hat nicht funktioniert und das Trocknen der Hände… Da sieht man die Keime schon an der Wand eine Party veranstalten. Vermutlich haben die einfach mit uns gefeiert. So sollte es nicht sein.

Das Wildgulasch und der Zwiebelrostbraten waren sehr lecker. Das Weissbier hat mir nicht geschmeckt. Das Lokal kann ich bestens weiter Empfehlen.

Sehr leckeres Essen in einem Historischen Ambiente bei freundlicher und schneller Bedienung. Ein Besuch hier lohnt sich jederzeit!

Nett, für die gebotene Qualität doch sehr überteuert.

Wir waren zum Kaffee dort mit insgesamt >10 Personen und ich habe befunden: der Service ist unterirdisch gewesen die Preise überirdisch Völlig überteuert und die Lokation veraltet -hier sind nicht die schönen Ausstellungsstücke - wie Kettenhemd etc. gemeint- sondern die Ausstattung), es hat gezogen wie Hechtsuppe! Update aufgrund der Kommentare des Inhabers Dass die Kosten zur Instandhaltung etc. hoch sind kann ich gut nachvollziehen und habe ich auch Verständnis dafür, Die nicht vorhandene Freundlichkeit ist aber leider nicht wegzudiskutieren und war ja auch schon bei vorhergehenden Kritiken Gegenstand …. ich wünsche Ihnen besseren Erfolg bei der Auswahl ihrer Mitarbeiter
