Watzke Wurstküche in Dresden

This has got to be my favourite place for sausages in Germany. We've tried the bratwurst (sooo good!) and the weisswurst. The bratwurst with cheese and spinach is the best!. The pretzels are very yummy and fresh too! Oops. Forgot to mention the good dunkel bier as well.

Tasty dishes, tasty beer (own production), atmosphere also on the level. We were there twice, and we will probably visit for the third time

Good, home-brewed beer and good food. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommended.

We had a meeting with colleagues, and it was lovely here. The waiter was a real gem. He seated over 20 people, was quick and friendly, and always had a fitting remark. The food was delicious and affordable.

Delicious bratwurst and sauerkraut, and their own beer was also great!

Always a recommended experience

Food, drinks and service highly recommended

The German sausages here are incredible. The staff is very attentive. They also have a variety of beers. A wig place worth visiting.

the best German restaurant I could have asked for while stating in Dresden. So much so that I ended up eating here twice! The artisinal and traditional wurst were delicious! The pretzels are what I look for in a pretzel: soft but sturdy. They make their own beer in house and its quite tasty! The pork Knuckle is a collosal dish, that will leave you full and satisfied. The crispy skin on the outside, the juicy pork meat on the inside was delicious.

Delicious feast and relax with good beer (monthly changing home brew) - delicious

They have their own beers, nice place but the old waiter was very rude, a waiter should not have done that.

It was awful 😞, really bad food. Very fast and good service and bier, but unfortunately food is very-very bad.

Good service, very good food (I had the beef sausage with coconut lentil dal. Perfect consistency and seasoning. The spinach sausage is also good. The beef is better, though. It's a matter of taste. Be sure to make a reservation in the evening.

Here, you can not only get delicious beer but also homemade, sometimes exotic, sausage varieties. Everyone will definitely find something here, even those who don't eat meat. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, and dogs are also welcome. You can also take sausages and beer home with you.

The food was delicious and the service was great. However, I found the food a bit too salty for my taste, and the lemonade was a bit too sweet. That said, the location is lovely and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

Good beer, nice service, nice atmosphere. We didn't have food.

Staff: very friendly Value for money: We had a spinach sausage with vegetables. The portion could have been a bit larger for the price, but otherwise it was delicious... (We didn't really get full)

The crowning glory of a day trip. Great service, fast and friendly service. Food very sufficient and freshly prepared and homemade.

️⭐️This restaurant has a racist server ⭐️ First of all, there were a lot of people when we went, so we waited for a while to look at the menu and order, but they didn't come to take our order for over 20-30 minutes, so even though we kept making eye contact with the dedicated server and making gestures that we wanted to order, he didn't come lol. He clearly knew we were there. The problem was that, except for our table, the front table (Westerners came within 5 minutes after we were seated) and the back table (they came 10 minutes after we were seated) all took their orders. They take all requests for tables. They do everything. At first, I thought it was very busy and I understood it, but later I felt like it was racism. I held on to it, and in the middle of the store, I told a person who looked like another waiter in the store that we had not been receiving our orders for several tens of minutes and asked him to take action. He said he understood and would pass it on, but the server did not come to us. In the end, as the server passed by, I said loudly that I wanted to order, but he said, "Can't you see I'm busy right now? I have too much to do." Like this hahahahahahahaha I don't know if the female server with the blonde ponytail and glasses is still working, but it seems like staff training is needed. I don't know because I've never tried the value of the food at this restaurant, but that server alone started my trip to Germany in a bad mood. This is a restaurant with racist servers, so don't go there~ Summary: This restaurant has a racist server. I don't recommend it. Staff needs to be trained.

Lovely place with friendly service and good food

Great service. Tasty food and of course very good beer. I'll be back.

We had schnitzel and pork goulash, and shared a dessert. Nice food and beer, friendly service. Thank you

A truly lovely spot with an incredible atmosphere! The food was absolutely delicious, and their house-brewed beer was simply perfect. I had the steak, while my husband tried the traditional sausages — both dishes were outstanding. Our waiter was exceptionally helpful and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Dresden and want to enjoy a true taste of the city!

Good food, nice service, affordable price. I recommend

Nice place to stay. Rustic food. Delicious beer. Friendly service

I visited the Watzke Wurstküche restaurant for the first time after a colleague recommended it to me. Service: The service took my order quickly and brought the ordered dish quickly. Ambiance: In front of the restaurant there are rustic chairs and tables that do not offer any particular luxury, but still ensure a pleasant stay. Eat: When the waiter brought me the food, it looked very tasty on the plate and it really tasted wonderful. Conclusion: I would visit Watzke Wurstküche again at any time and recommend it without reservation.

It's easy to get overlooked on the terrace, but in the end, after ordering, we moved inside for a simple meal after what was actually an unacceptable waiting time. It was more pleasant and much quieter there than in the terrace area, where problematic clientele can disrupt the meal.

Top, delicious food, great service. Absolutely recommended

I really enjoy eating and drinking there. Price/performance is top. Super friendly and attentive service. Overall package is absolutely harmonious.

I just did it. Had schnitzel with asparagus and a cream of asparagus soup as a starter. Very very tasty

Simple cuisine can also be good Recommended blood and liver sausage

Whenever I'm in Dresden, a visit here is a must. Good beer and good food, in a nice atmosphere.

Food tastes really good and we always like to come back to you again and again

We didn't eat anything except a pretzel, but we drank great coffee and sat in the fresh air. The waiter was friendly and it was fun.

Friendly service, classic brewery dishes, but there is also a good selection for vegetarians. The beer is delicious anyway.

There was no yeast wheat beer and the cheese was not deliciously dressed.

Quite good food... I recommend it

After 15 minutes, in which a waitress walked past me at least five times, I left again. Things are going better in the branch right next door!

Unnecessarily rude waiter – Visit during lunch on 08.04.25 There were two waiters serving us: a young gentleman, who was very nice and polite, and his slightly older colleague (possibly the headwaiter), with short hair and stubble, who unfortunately made us feel unwelcome. He made rude remarks and displayed poor manners, which was absolutely unnecessary. At the end, when we were paying, he had the audacity to ask for a tip. I declined, and his only reaction was to leave without saying a word. We have visited this place multiple times in the past and always had a good experience. Unfortunately, it seems that the standards and expectations for service have declined. Food was good, no complaints there.

I've been here 3 times, and unfortunately I need to edit my review because of the bad quality of service during my most recent visit. Our server went out of his way to be rude for no apparent reason — we were just a group of 3 people eating lunch, no annoying requests or anything like that, but we were English-speaking, so maybe that was partially the issue. The other servers were very polite and helpful, so it was really just the one server who tainted our experience.

Greetings to the waiter from Greece!

The service is excellent, as is the food. Greetings to the waiter from Greece!

Nice atmosphere of the restaurant, nice service, but the food was very average (at least what we ordered). Unfortunately, I couldn't compare the quality of the dishes served to other restaurants in this city, but the dishes we ordered were very heavy and fatty. The regional beer is very good 😉

It's a very beautiful place. You can go.

They don't have English menus and the waiter doesn't help you to order. So if you don't know German it is impossible to eat here.

We had the schnitzel and the brawn, which were soooo delicious. The special beer was also very good.

It's quite hard to get a table with a casual setting - it's just cramped inside. Nice, although very busy service (you have to remind yourself). The food was tasty, quite standard and reasonably priced for the old town. The decor is a plus. A child-friendly place.

Very delicious food, pleasant atmosphere, super nice and super fast service. We will definitely come back here, recommended!

Sitting on the terrace in the sunshine, great weather

We were in the sausage kitchen for the first time today. The food was really great and even if you don't have a lot of time, you can still go out to eat because the kitchen is really quick. We will definitely come back and look forward to the next time

Very tasty and down-to-earth home cooking in a cozy atmosphere, at absolutely reasonable prices and top service.

A restaurant serving German food at an affordable price. The interior of the restaurant has its own atmosphere. A popular place among the local community. Very friendly and communicative service. The food is tasty and served quickly. It is worth visiting when visiting Dresden.

Ein bisschen mehr hätte ich von Watzke schon erwartet. Sehr nette Bedienung aber das Essen Durchschnitt (Ich habe schon besser gegessen bei denen). Aber so ist es schön also selber eine Meinung bilden.

Very good cuisine, great value for money, nice staff, lots of places on the terrace in the warm season, the own brewed Watzke beer (Altpieschener) is highly recommended, there are also weekly and monthly changing special menus, the menu is extensive with various - not just sausage - dishes. You'll be happy to come back.

A very pork-heavy menu, as you would expect at a Bavarian local. My dish was excellent, but could have been a little bigger. The staff was very quick and friendly. The restaurant seemed clean and well-kept. The drinks are special, they seem to offer many special and house-made beers and spirits that are on offer on some days.

Food OK. The pork shank is large and well-baked. Their own Watzke beer they only had a light and red lager with a medium flavor. No dark beer of any kind on offer. At the Hofbrauhaus in Munich this would have been unthinkable. However, the service is a complete failure! The waiter with glasses was completely blasé and when he heard the guests' foreign language, he was clearly "disgusted". Even nice gestures on our part, with assurances in broken German that the food was very good and everything, and announcements of ratings on Google.com did not help... In a moment, a larger group of German-speaking retirees arrived, and the bespectacled waiter continued without even pretending to show hospitality. To sum up: 1. The atmosphere is a disaster thanks to the waiter with glasses 2. Food OK 3. Average taste beer (no dark beer) 4. Average prices (as practically everywhere else shopping malls You can certainly spend the same money much better elsewhere and receive in return hospitality, nicer service and a Saxon atmosphere... The decision is up to each of you individually...

A nice restaurant in the heart of Dresden. Super good food, nice waiters, everything was great. Gladly again. Thanks to the Watzke team.

Great place with delicious food 👍

Good food, nice staff and everything was clean.

Wir hatten eine Currywurst mir Pommes und eine Haxenbratwurst. Beides hausgemacht und echt lecker. Auch dad Bier war supergut und der Service freundlich. Also: geht da hin!

Delicious sausages and friendly staff. I recommend trying the cheese-filled sausages which go with vegetables and Watzke Altpieschner Spezial beer.

Recommended to get to know German food, specifically German sausages and beer.

Highly recommended, price performance very good....meat dishes 👍 very good....ambient top...service top We will 100% come back

Very tasty food and great service

Delicious food and friendly service.

Delicious food at a relatively cheap price.

I've been to this restaurant several times with friends and family, the food is great. I've tried different dishes and everything was very tasty and very attractively prepared. The ambience and service are also great

A traditional German bar. Their beers are successful. We also liked the white mulled wine. Service is great 👍 Prices are slightly above the German average.

A nice place for a hearty lunch. Many food and beer options are available, with a range of specials to negotiate. Their own brews are very good. I had the Goulash with dumplings. It was very tasty and the correct portion size. Our server was very prompt, courteous and efficient. It's a very welcoming place with a range of events advertised for the near future. A very positive start to my visit to Dresden.

Overall, it's a good restaurant. The service was good and the food was reasonable.

Super cozy restaurant, friendly staff and excellent food.

Very tasty For those arriving from Prague to Dresden, start your meal here. I want to eat it with white rice, but it tastes so good.

The best bratwurst??? Let me laugh... Tastes like soap I couldn't finish it. Very unpleasant welcome, we quickly understand that we are not part of their usual clientele... seated on a small table in the passage and the drafts while there were plenty of other tables free. But we hadn't booked so we had to be patient. To end on a positive note, the currywurst was quite good but did not make us forget this unpleasant moment.

Leckeres hausgebrautes Bier, Speisen aus der eigenen Wurstküche, freundliche Bedienung, hier kommen wir öfters her.

Great menu, everything was very tasty. This is how Dresden eats!

Beautiful place , decorations, excellent service delicious food! We always come everytime we visit Dresden this is our third time eating here, this time during winter. I do recommend it.

Friendly service, the food and the home-brewed beer taste very good 👍

Very nice restaurant. Staff is courteous. Beer tastes great. Food is traditional and delicious.

Alles bestens, kommen gerne wieder! Sehr freundliches Personal

Good selection of drinks and the food looked good, even though we didn't eat. The service was very good and the atmosphere when we went was chilled, which suited us fine 😊

Everything great. We got a table for two. Reservation is recommended. Staff super nice.

Feel free to pick up sausages to take home here. Prices are quite high, so my visit is rare.

A wide selection of sausages and beer. A german dream.

Sehr lecker und super freundlicher Kellner. Kommen gern wieder 👍

Food was excellent, although soup was a bit dull. Will visit again whenever in town.

Great location, nice staff!! Always an experience!!!

Maybe we were late for dinner (around 8pm), the food was not good to recommend, at least for ours, esp. schnitzel (with ham and cheese inside), it had been over cooked, so too dry to be tasty :( and the sides (fries and veggie) were more like freezer fast food style instead of fresh made. The sausage was better, so maybe only go for sausages. Services were good, at least, listened to our feedback.

Everything was very good and tasty. Service also great) I recommend solyanka soup and mulled wine, the schnitzel was delicious but I wouldn't order it a second time. Probably it is better to choose sausages

Wir waren an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Abenden in Watzkes Wurstküche. Das Essen war , wer Wurst mag, exzellent, der Service ausgesprochen freundlich und schnell.

I recommend solyanka and pretzel ❤️

This is the place to go if you are in Dresden. if there were the possibility to add another star, this would be the case. Best food and beer in Dresden

Everything went well with the reservation and was correct. There was also a small but comfortable seating unit as well as a perfectly coordinated meal and yes, most importantly, the beer.

Tasty food, quiet warm place, good service! The staff speaks good English, card payment is accepted.

Hier werden die Touristen der Stadt Dresden ebenso verwöhnt wie das heimische Stammpublikum. Hausgemachte Spezialitäten, eine wechselnde saisonale Karte, ergänzt durch hervorragende hausgebraute Biere und eine nette Bedienung – was will man mehr?

Super tasty beer and great staff

Very nice service and very tasty food 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼.

Freundliche und rasche Bedienung und das obwohl das Restaurant bis zum letzten Platz gefüllt war. Da kommt man gerne wieder.

Simply worth a visit again and again

What you need to know: various "Watzkes" in Dresden with very different menus. Insider tip - if there is one - is the Hackepeter. The place is always full, always loud, crowds at the entrance. Apparently a very popular restaurant among the locals. The food is reasonably priced and good, but as the evening wore on the waitress got confused and occasionally forgot and mixed up something. But with kindness. Anyone who likes the atmosphere and hearty food will be satisfied here.

It's actually a great and cozy restaurant, and that's what was promised when we ordered a table for several people. When we arrived at the restaurant the table was in the middle of the aisle next to the entrance door. Everyone had to pass us and it wasn't comfortable either. Since we were there, we sat down anyway because we knew the food was great. The waiter was great too. So the food was great, the waiters were great, but the table was a disappointment.
