Wirtshaus am Freilandmuseum in Bad Windsheim

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

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.

Das war ein tolles Erlebnis. Trotz viel Betrieb am Sonntag während der Mittelaltertage wurden wir am zuvor reservierten Tisch extrem freundlich empfangen. Leider mussten wir auf unsere Verwandten, die Darsteller im Museum waren, lange warten und konnten erst nach 13.00 Uhr bestellen. Der Andrang war so gross, dass viele Gerichte ausverkauft waren, der Chef war zweimal bei uns am Tisch und extrem bemüht unsere Wünsche noch zu erfüllen. Eine ganz tolle Betreuung. Das Essen war top!!! Karpfen und Karpfenfilet ganz hervorragend, der Sauerbraten hat begeistert und auch Lachs mit Salat (für jrmanden der kein Fleisch isst) waren hervorragend. Also---volle Empfehlung zumal die Preise moderat sind (noch, solange die jetzige Regierung mit ihren Steuerplänen nicht auch diese Gastronomie kaputt macht).

Haben einen schönen Tag, Mit der ganzen Familie verbracht. Kann beim Essen den Wurschtsalat , sowie die Bratensoßen zumittag empfehlen. Auch die Kuchen,sind ein Gedicht, Hier stimmt Preis-Leistung wieder

Es dauerte 20 Minuten, bis das Essen kam. Große Portionen

보통 박물관 옆 식당이나 카페는 말도안되게 비싼데 여기는 오히려 더 싸요😎 맥주를 직접 양조하는데 zwickl로 꼭 드세요. 음식맛은 탑5스타 호텔급은 아니지만 프랑켄 전통음식으로 맛있어요. 셀프로 주문하고 진동벨 울리면 셀프로 받아서 먹고 치우는 시스템인데요. 안 기다려도 되니따 빠른 성미인 저에겐 훨씬 좋았어요:) 주문받으신분 음료 테케 모두 친절하셨어요 💪🏻 재방문 의사있습니다

Freundliche schnelle Bedienung, Super Biergarten einfach schön

Lohnt sich immer wieder sehr schönes Freilandmuseum in Bad Windsheim lohnt sich für groß und klein , gibt immer wieder schauvorstellungen , das Wirtshaus ist Uhrig sehr nettes Personal typisch fränkische Speisen auf jeden Fall wieder

Schönes Ambiente, freundliches Personal, sehr gute Organisation bei WE Veranstaltungen und sehr gutes Essen , netter Koch 😊😋

Sehr schönes Ambiente im Biergarten aber mangelhaftes Essen im Biergarten.

Alles sauber und mit Ambiente Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit

Sehr gutes Essen und nettes Personal. Am besten wenn man nach dem Gang durchs Freilandmuseum essen gehen möchte oder man einen Abend ausklingen lassen will

Es ist einfach schön im Freilandmuseum 🥰 Das Essen ist sehr gut , der Service freundlich und das Ambiente auch toll 🥰

Sehr gutes Essen und eine einmalige Atmosphäre. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett und äusserst zuvorkommend, hier fühlt man sich wahrlich willkommen. In den Wirtshäusern des Freilandmuseums speist man in historischen Räumen und an historischen Möbeln. Keine Angst: Das Geschirr und Besteck ist neu. Obwohl man keine Eintrittskarte braucht um im Restaurant zu essen, lässt sich der Besuch hier herrlich mit einem Bummel durch die Geschichte verbinden. Dabei kann man sich den richtigen Durst holen für das herrliche Bier, denn das sollte man keinesfalls verpassen.

Wir waren am 03.06.2022 dort Es war schlicht weg unmöglich..... eine billige Currywurstbude anstatt eines Fränkischen Gasthauses. Eine Schande für dieses Ambiente, das schöne Gasthaus durfte nicht betreten werden. Statt dessen Currywurst und Pommes in schlechtester Qualität . Wo bleibt die Regionalität und die fränkische Wirtshauskultur, die man hier erwarten würde

Vor dem Pächterwechsel gab es alles selbst gemacht und mit viel Liebe fürs Detail. Gerade auch für Vegetarier und Veganer war die Auswahl reichhaltig. Nun kommt der Salat zu Großteil aus der Konserve, die Pommes sind kaum durchfriert und die Kartoffelsäcken sind TK. Der Service wirkt schon bei wenigen Gästen völlig überlastet.

Wir waren nach einem Besuch der Therme auf der Durchreise.Obwohl es schon nach 21.00 war wurden wir sehr freundlich empfangen und konnten sogar noch warm essen.Das Essen war super lecker und reichlich.Wir bekamen das Essen relativ schnell obwohl auch noch andere Gäste zum Essen da waren.Die Kommentare der Vorschreiber können wir nicht ganz nachvollziehen.Vielleicht muss man einfach manchmal auch ein bisschen warten können.Wir können den Gasthof ruhigen Gewissens weiterempfehlen und waren bestimmt nicht das letzte mal dort.

Wir waren gerade mehrfach hier zu Gast und immer zufrieden. Daher wundern mich die Beiträge meiner Vorschreiber etwas. Das Wirtshaus gehört zum Freilandmuseum, kann jedoch auch außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten des Museums besucht werden. Wir waren sowohl im Rahmen von Museumsbesuchen als auch unabhängig davon dort. Klar, im Biergarten muß man sich die Getränke selbst holen. Aber das ist in sehr vielen Biergärten der Fall! Das bestellte Essen erschien stets zügig und war von der Qualität her absolut in Ordnung. Bei unserem Besuch am Abend, wir hatten nicht reserviert, gab man sich sogar große Mühe, um uns einen schönen Platz im ersten Stock zu besorgen. Auch hier war das Essen ausgezeichnet und der Service sogar besonders nett und bemüht. Die Preise sind auch ausgesprochen reell - wir kommen gerne wieder!

The museum was closed for the day, US Xmas eve. Knowing this, we went there specifically for the restaurant. The restaurant lived up to it's reputation. The food was local, excellent, prepared well and quickly. Service was fast, courteous and friendly

We came here in Christmas for lunch - with 21 people! The service was amazing - despite the large group size, multiple personal requests and small children. (Have to thank Ms. Woodward for that - I can't recall her first name - but she had a team of servers helping her). The food was excellent. I shared the beef dish but also tried the pork. Both were excellent and perfect portion sizes. The fried potatoes (like a hashbrown but better) perfectly accompanied the meals. Ms. Woodward also recommended the wine based on a few of my comments - and it was just what I wanted and perfectly complimented the meal. The place itself seems like an old farmhouse located in a small town. The town and restaurant were charming. Other than our group, everyone else seemed to be local. I would it might have been a little overwhelming when our large loud Irish family showed up and ate and drank for two hours. But the staff and customers couldn't have been more gracious! I highly recommend for some amazing food and local charm.

Wir wollten heute hier mit 5 Personen zu Mittag essen. Bereits bis zur Aufnahme der Bestellung dauerte es lange. Nach einiger Zeit ließ uns die Bedienung wissen, dass 2 der bestellen Gerichte "aus" seien. Wir bestellten um.... Die Getränke wurden erst nach ca. 30 - 40 Minuten und nach Reklamation serviert. Nach weiteren einer halben Stunde (!) kamen 3 Essen, ohne die beiden umbestellten Gerichte (die Umbestellung war ja nicht unser Verschulden!!!) Nach einer weiteren halben Stunde Wartezeit haben wir auf die fehlenden Essen verzichtet, unseren Verzehr bezahlt und (teilweise hungrig!!) unter Protest das Lokal verlassen! Hier ist das Küchen-/Serviceteam völlig unorganisiert und überfordert!! DAS GEHT GAR NICHT!! Wir haben dann im Verlauf des Nachmittags Einheimische getroffen, die uns unsere Erfahrung bestätigt haben.

Nun nach unserem Besuch in der Therme dachten wir gehen wir in das Freilichtmuseum zum Essen. Stutzig machte mich, dass die Speisekarte anders war als gewohnt und dass niemand etwas gegessen hat. Biergarten war gut besucht und wir bestellten Tafelspitz mit Meerrettichsauce, gekochtem Wurzelgemüse und Salzkartoffeln. Seltsam das Essen kam sofort nachdem wir bestellt hatten. Das Fleisch, das Gemüse und die Kartoffeln waren kalt und ohne jegliche Würzung. Zudem war das Fleisch anscheinend vom Schuster um die Ecke. Es war zäh wie Leder und hatte mit einem Tafelspitz nichts zu tun. Wir konnten es nicht Essen und gaben es zurück. Der Kellner entschuldigte sich mehrmals und wir bekamen einen Schnaps. Bezahlt haben wir nur die Getränke. Die Entschuldigung haben wir angenommen. Nun seit mehr als 10 Jahren kommen wir immer gerne hierher, aber was passieren kann wenn der Pächter wechselt und auch der Koch, mussten wir leider feststellen. Also man prüfe bevor man sich setzt.
