Wirtshaus am Freilandmuseum in Bad Windsheim

We have just had a wonderful, successful family celebration at the Wirtshaus zur Krone. It wasn't just the beautiful ambience that contributed to this. A competent and friendly one Service didn't keep us waiting. The creative and good regional cuisine without any frills was very satisfying. Thank you Renate and Horst from Bielefeld

We were guests at a wedding party and were thrilled. The location is fantastic, in the middle of the countryside. It was lovely to sit outside under the old trees. The dinner was incredibly tasty, the presentation of the food alone was excellent!! Cheers to the kitchen and the service. The ladies and gentlemen were very friendly and attentive. We would love to come back!!!

Dear team from Wirtshaus zur Krone, you made our wedding day unforgettable. The room was lovingly decorated, the food was great, the service was incredibly flexible and catered to our guests' every wish. A great location for a wonderful celebration! 🙏🤩🤗

The most outrageous prices I have ever experienced in Franconia. A simple drink for 4 euros. We would actually have liked to eat there with 8 people but for these prices, no thanks. Everything is getting more expensive but some people are overdoing it... I hope the guests think twice. You shouldn't support something like that.

Despite reservations for 15 people, 30 minutes later we had to ask several times, even argue, to be allowed to order anything to eat. An hour later we were cashed in. The food was good - although the prices were quite impressive for Bad Windsheim. But since the end of work at 7 p.m. seemed to be the main focus, the bill was limited. Unfortunately, hospitality and gastronomic skills look completely different. It was actually supposed to be a nice, sociable evening. Instead, unfriendly, unmotivated handling. Too bad. Next time I'd rather go back to Magda😂. One star for service because we were then allowed to order something to eat. Thank you Wirtshaus zur Krone for your great willingness to sacrifice!!! Stunned greetings

We had Franconian Schäufele and bratwursts with sauerkraut in the very nice inn on the first floor. Both dishes were served very quickly and were very tasty. The waiter was very friendly.

Great ambience, delicious food in decent portions. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating.

Access to the guest room via stairs. Prices ok. Solid Franconian food. Service can be expanded. After a few spoonfuls of soup, the main course came straight away. You can then choose which of them you want to keep cold. You collect money while you eat. That's better. Especially when you are served by “Boss”.

Fast service, friendly, and affordable. Perfect.

Very nice and rustic half-timbered atmosphere in the Gasthof zur Krone. Typically Franconian and very good food including very friendly and flexible service staff. Had a few lovely moments at lunch here. In summer there is also a beer garden opposite. Everything is integrated into the great and extensive Franconian open-air museum, which then invites you to take a tour. It's worth the trip to come here. It wasn't the last time we were here. Many thanks to the team at Gasthaus zur Krone. The Arnsteiners Otto and Elfriede.

Very nice staff and super delicious food. We will definitely come back and are looking forward to it

Very nice and helpful people. Top service and delicious food.

Here you can still find really hearty, incredibly delicious Franconian home cooking! Definitely try it! I can highly recommend the horseradish meat and the sauerbraten (!)! The prices are also very fair!

I was happy about a varied selection of vegetarian dishes and ultimately decided on “Bohna Kern” in gingerbread sauce, vegetables and dumplings. Service for our group was repeatedly great and my dish was delicious.

Great staff and kitchen.. Super delicious New Year's Eve menu And very dog ​​friendly… We would love to come back...

A historic place with a great selection of food and great service

Very friendly and helpful service, we were very satisfied and would like to come back.

Super tasty Schäufele with dumplings and coleslaw, very nice and attentive service and a nice restaurant. Highly recommended and would love to come back again.

Beautiful ambience, great food and very nice staff! Thank you very much 😊!!

The open air museum was amazing! It was wonderful seeing all of the medieval houses. We went in the winter, but I bets it’s even more amazing in the spring. We did not eat at the Wursthaus, but it looked good!

Had a delicious Schäufele with dumplings Plus freshly tapped beer from the local brewery Everything is authentically Franconian and really good 👍

That was super delicious 😋 it's really worth a visit.

A nice restaurant with very good food, friendly service in a cozy atmosphere

Nice and idyllic restaurant. Staff friendly and attentive. Food very tasty (hot and fresh)

A restaurant as you wish. Rustic and absolutely authentic. The food was excellent. The portions are very generous and reasonable for the price. Can be recommended absolutely unconditionally.

We were there for dinner with the club. The majority of participants were satisfied with the food. The service was tried hard, but sometimes overwhelmed. But we were happy to be included in this number. Our thanks therefore go to the entire workforce.

Unfortunately not recommended. Franconian holiday soup with still cold, almost frozen ingredients (liver dumplings, marrow dumplings). Franconian bratwurst, which gave the impression that sausages that had been grilled days ago had simply been warmed up, served with farmer's bread that was probably from the day before. Cheese spaetzle in a fatty cream sauce that contained a maximum of traces of cheese. The only bright spot: the pumpkin soup. But that doesn't save the bad overall impression. Never again.

It's really a shame. The open-air museum is great, but the Wirtschaft zur Krone is absolutely not recommended! The waitresses were very unfriendly and annoyed! You have the feeling of being dismissed and unwelcome, even though we were the only guests and were there well before closing time. The looks from the waitress say more than a thousand words. Food very expensive, cheese spaetzle not good and small portion. Outrageous for the price. Were really very disappointed “Welcome” is the question where

We can only judge the service (!?) because we couldn't order anything to eat or drink. We were there on Sunday and got a table outside. Everyone else was occupied or there were dishes and glasses on the tables. There was no sign of a waitress anywhere. Like other guests, we got up and left after about 15 minutes.

Enjoy your meal. Quite a lot of guests. Best to reserve

Very authentic Franconian cuisine and drinks in a historical atmosphere. The young waitresses are very friendly and attentive and speak Franconian.

Terribly tight in the pub Prices ok, Schäuferle very small. Service was sometimes quite inattentive.

We were there on September 22, 2024 and it was busy but the service was there quickly. Our meal, schnitzel with fries/potato salad was really good. The prices are now high everywhere, but the performance here is also good.

Nice restaurant in the open-air museum with a great atmosphere. We had lunch on the terrace and enjoyed the beautiful ambience. The portions were plentiful and very flavorful. We had schnitzel with fries and Franconian bratwurst with potato salad. We had to order ketchup and mustard separately. The service was a little stressed that day, but still very friendly. The children's portion of 'dumpling with sauce' came with two dumplings and was therefore generous. There are high chairs there, but no playground due to the location at the entrance to the museum.

Unfortunately, the organization and dealings with paying customers are not good here. The poster that asks boys to treat the staff well should also be hanging in the back area, because unfortunately the attitude here does not match the requirements. It's a shame because the food is good and the prices definitely match it.

Delicious food, delicious beer!!!! Service top!

True Franconian Menu! Plus your typical fare and kids menu too. Enjoy a beer made at the Freiland Museum from grains grown here, too, while enjoying the idyllic setting... you can even camp in your RV in their orchard/parking lot. I want to bring my whole family from USA here, this place is literally the coolest "museum" I’ve ever seen, it covers so much historical life+technology it's incredibly educational and yet also relaxing and intriguing for all ages! Pet the animals, stroll through gardens and fields and travel back in time!

It's just a restaurant in an open-air museum, simple, good standard.

Best sauerkraut with the bratwursts. Top!

Juicy prices for self-service with bottled drinks! (0.5 l Radler €4 to €5)!

Were there for the first time today and are simply thrilled by the good hospitality and the delicious food😊👍

The meal was excellent. The service was very friendly. Thank you

Unfortunately completely disappointing. We ended up there through a TV report about country inns. Apart from the nice atmosphere in the open-air museum, it was a failure. Lovelessly and poorly prepared main courses are served by annoyed and bored staff. French fries were raw inside, the rest didn't taste good. We were very annoyed about the money we wasted and the calorie intake that wasn't worth it. Clear thumbs down unfortunately!

Ordered several times, ... left after 35 minutes because not even the drinks (shandy and 2 spritzers) came, despite the restaurant being almost empty

A nice beer garden with great service.

Simple little snacks. There is little for vegetarians and especially for vegans.

Very good offer. Delicious food. Fast and very friendly staff! We recommend!

We highly recommend exploring the huge area on a Friday. Very quiet, few people and you can always get a seat in the restaurant with a beautiful beer garden and a great menu.

I ordered schnitzel Viennese style with potato salad. The long wait of half an hour somehow gave me the idea of ​​a fresh schnitzel with souffled breading. Unfortunately, I received a piece of butterfly cut form that was flattened with breading stuck on. The potato salad was tolerable. Maybe you should take €19.90 for the schnitzel instead of €16.20 (it doesn't matter anyway) and put a little more effort into it. The waiting time was probably thawing time. The next table asked me if I knew which sausage was in the Franconian sausage salad. As a native of Franconia, I answered “Stadtwurst” because that’s what I actually assumed. Unfortunately there was Lyoner or meat sausage in it. I thought it would be in Saarland or in the discounter. Self-service now offers no room for better rating of service.

On the occasion of our Diamond Confirmation we met here for a meal together. The food was very good. We were able to eat in the restaurant! However, due to the lack of staff, this is usually not possible!! Self-service in the garden is currently common!! But a good impression! Everyone really tried hard. Even if a young and inexperienced service worker has problems, an encouraging comment is enough and everything is fine again!! I can only recommend this inn!!

Eating in the open-air museum is great. It's strange that smoking is allowed in restaurants here, but it's rightly forbidden in the open-air museum. It would be more obvious to ban smoking on the entire premises, including in restaurants.

Food was very good and plentiful. Had a sauerbraten with red cabbage, cranberries and two dumplings.

Beer garden atmosphere with restaurant prices. Food could have been warmer

I wait 1 hour 20 for a soup!!!!

I can highly recommend the inn at the open-air museum - very friendly staff and incredibly delicious food, and the adjacent museum is also worth a trip.

The asparagus was mercilessly cooked and there was no taste left. Prepared too early and sat in the cooking water for too long. I asked in advance whether the asparagus was freshly cooked. The young man from the service wanted to ask in the kitchen...but it was a bit haphazard.

Nice beer garden with shady trees

Very cozy, rustic inn with rustic furnishings and a fine menu.

The ambience is nice. It is only unsuitable for people who do not eat meat. Vegetarian dishes are advertised on the website, but they are not available on site (except for cheese spaetzle and fries). A bit questionable in 2024, but of course that depends on the target group.

Very good food and super nice employees

Whow, authentic as a Franconian beer garden should be! Located on the stream with access to the open-air museum! Great beers from the Windsheim breweries! Not overcrowded and mostly visited by locals!

I asked for a vegan menu or if I could put something together. This was denied...It's a shame that there is nothing vegan apart from fries and potato salad.

It was reserved for 31 people on the communion outing. Contrary to what we had discussed, everyone had to queue up to order, which took forever.

Great place to stop for a break, good food and lots of fresh air in the beer garden. Self-service outside of course.

Very beautiful landscape but very spacious

We were there with a very large group. (entire coach) One of our participants accidentally knocked a wine bottle off the table that was very close to an edge. As a result, the entire bottle of wine had to be paid for. Not the purchase price but the selling price. An additional €23 was taken from the person. With a large group, I find this to be outrageous, especially since the restaurant has actually profited from this mishap. Service is probably underplayed here and it's all about enrichment. Ambience is dreary and not all that chic. Food nothing extraordinary. Absolutely no recommendation. Not again.

The ambience is quite nice. Some of the cake prices are completely exorbitant. A tiny piece of covered cherry cake for €3.90. The chocolate-coconut cake, also for €3.90, looks a little better. Thin filter coffee for more than €4 a cup isn't that great either

Everything was great, relaxed shop. Schäuferla was 10/10 ps. Unfortunately, Pils is missing from the map

The food was okay, but the innkeepers are so motivated and nice that after a rain shower you can wipe your own table in the outdoor restaurant. The operator leaves a lot behind here

Beer was delicious, bratwurst was terrible

Beautiful...well maintained...ideal with children... Kudos to the kitchen...it's not just about cooking. Respect!!!

Very nice from the outside, including the beer garden, but it was closed at 12:30 p.m. on a weekday so we couldn't try the culinary offerings or drinks.

Wergli a guuds Essn. Nedde Leud. Un regionalol too. That's how it has to be! What more could you want?!

Very tasty Franconian cuisine with baked carp or beef with horseradish sauce that clears the sinuses. In addition, regional juices from organic production and beer, which is brewed locally and probably in the spring in the open-air museum, which is well worth seeing.

A very nice inn. Nadja Dölfel Dachsbach

Bratwurst was delicious, otherwise beer garden atmosphere so self-service

Very tasty food!! And great ambience! 💯 recommended!

I found it a bit disappointing... dumplings were really tiny, sauerbraten was tough - I actually expected more for the price

I've never experienced anything like that, I waited over an hour for drinks, and when the drinks finally arrived, half of them were wrong! Food was a catastrophe, everyone had eaten except for one person, after repeated requests that the food was missing, we still didn't get it and it was always carried to another table! The staff was a complete disaster and unfriendly too! Not recommendable!!!

Unfortunately we had a bad day today. Opening weekend of the open-air museum, fortunately reserved. We were very happy. However, we were very disappointed. First of all, we waited 40 minutes to be able to place our order. Drinks and food came relatively quickly. However, my beef with horseradish was hardly edible, hard and dry, the other piece was flabby. The schnitzels of our friends and my husband were probably delicious. After dinner I would have liked to have a delicious Döbler beer, but that didn't happen. I would have liked to say straight away that my food wasn't good but I didn't get the chance, it was cleared away without a word and without asking. In total we were there for almost 2 hours, more than half of which was waiting. There was also chaos at the neighboring tables. Completely overwhelmed staff. A pity.

Very tasty regional cuisine - attentive and friendly service - rustic, cozy inn - everything clean and well-kept - an absolute plus, the beautiful beer garden in summer, but definitely worth a visit in the cold season too :)

Nice ambience. Unfortunately the sauerbraten was tough and for my standards not the best, but everyone can form their own opinion. Maybe I was just there on the wrong day. But everything else went really well.

Very cozy. There is still some room for improvement when it comes to eating. For me, the cheese spaetzle was a not so tasty melted pile of cheese with spaetzle and unfortunately only lukewarm. At the Schäufele the so-called crust was just tough. For €20 we would have expected more. Maybe it will be a little better on our next visit.

In an appealing and authentic ambience you can enjoy wonderful hours with delicious food. We recommend

Dankeschön an ein sehr schönes Silvester. Waren auf der Durchreise hatten nichts geplant und sind im Netz auf eine 80er Silvester Party gestoßen, haben angerufen und die Chefin machte es möglich und wir bekamen noch 2 Plätze. Vielen Dank!!! Wir kommen sicher bald wieder!!!

Hallo das Essen war sehr gut ein Lob an den koch

Großartige Regionale Gerichte. Der Service super, ganz aufmerksame und freundliche Mitarbeiter. Ambiente ist ungemütlich und authentisch. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend und kommen mit Sicherheit wieder.

Eine Wirtschaft in altem Stil. Dem Freilandmuseum angepasst Die Speisekarte ist spärlich ausgefallen. Zwei vollwertige Essen, sonst nur ein paar Wurstvarianten. Da war ich etwas enttäuscht.

Dort habe ich das beste Schäufele in meinem Leben gegessen.Preis/Leistung stimmt und der Service war perfekt.Danke!

Sehr leckeres Essen und super freundlicher Service! Das Ambiente ist sehr schön mit vielen deko Details.

Uriche schöne Scheune zum fränkischen Essen.zwar kleine Essenauswahl aber sehr lecker...Dort gibt's das beste Schäufle...einfach mal ausprobieren!!!

Great bratwurst and the best Sauerkraut I ever had! Keller beer on draft. You could not ask for anything more and a rustic museum. Go it's great

Wir hatten eine Suppe, Schäufele mit Blaukraut (statt Krautsalat) und Sauerbraten. Essen war sehr lecker und die Leute freundlich. Gerne wieder!

Wir waren vor 2Wochen dort spontan nach nem Museumsbesuch zum Essen! Bestellung: 1× Pommes für die Kiddis.... perfekt, knusprig bis zum letzten "Fritz" ;-) 1x Sauerbraten für die Gattin.... super perfekt, geschmacklich sehr sehr lecker!!! (Wunsch an die Küche: Bitte serviert das Blaukraut in einem extra Schüsselchen und nicht in der leckeren Sauerbratensauce schwimmend 😉) 1× Schäuferle für mich..... der absolute Hammer.... sooooo lecker... mit der besten Kruste, die ich je bekommen hab!!!! (Erdnussflips sind im Vergleich zäh! 🤣😇) Macht weiter so, wir kommen wieder mit Freunden und Verwandten im Schlepptau!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Wir waren sehr enntäuscht .Schade eigentlich. Der Koch hat sich wirklich keine Mühe gegeben ..zumindest hat das so ausgesehen und genauso geschmeckt

Eine Perfekte Fränkische Küche. So muss Fränkisches Essen schmecken. Mega lecker! 😃

Waren zum ersten mal, hat ins sehr gut gefallen und wir haben sehr lecker gegessen, der Kartoffelsalat war super!

Viel Betrieb, trotzdem wurden wir schnell bedient. Bedienung war freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen war gut bis sehr gut. Das Lokal kann man durchaus weiterempfehlen 😃

Bitte Bargeld mit nehmen, kein Karten Zahlung möglich

Super Scheufele und sehr netter Wirt! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
