Wirtshaus im Ostend in Frankfurt am Main

The service is very good, the food is delicious, but I didn't like the dish I ordered very much because it had very strong herbs. It's German food. The people are very friendly when it comes to serving us. They don't speak much English, but they are very attentive.

If you are looking for a very good knuckle, you have come to the right place

Absolutely fantastic family-run restaurant. Robust and very tasty cuisine. The location next to the ECB in Frankfurt is very good. Parking is rather difficult due to the traffic there. It's better to arrive by public transport. Highly recommended.

I had the schnitzel with asparagus and a delicious sauce. For dessert, the Kaiserschmarrn was divine. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was really pleasant. It's a true tavern, and the prices are very reasonable. You can easily eat here with lots of people.

The portions are getting smaller and the staff is very confused, but friendly.

It was busy, so the waitresses were a bit overwhelmed. They delivered the items we ordered.

We came to this place for coffee and a bite to eat, but from the start, the service was very rude. The waitress didn’t let us sit outside, and once inside, she made one of us move, claiming we were taking up too much space—even though we were a group of seven and the restaurant was mostly empty. When we tried to order, some of us spoke only English, but another waitress stepped in and offered us several coffee options, which we ordered. A few minutes later, the original waitress returned, saying she didn’t get our order and made us repeat it—only to tell us those options weren’t available. She gave us just three choices instead, and it felt like she wanted us to leave. The coffee was actually good, but the overall experience was unpleasant. We decided not to order food and just asked for the check. When we tried to pay by card (our bill was 25 euros), she said it was cash only and looked annoyed. There was no sign at the entrance about this, and the restaurant’s website says they accept card and contactless payments. In short, while the coffee was nice, the unwelcoming service ruined the visit.

A good pub with delicious food and beer. I think you immediately feel at home inside, but the view of the ECB is also really cool outside. The food is really tasty and the portions are large, but the prices are a bit on the high side. I think you can also get a good beer there. I've been there twice already, and it certainly won't be the last time.

We visited to try local cuisine and we're not disappointed! Casual pub vibe, cosy inside. Waitress was happy to suggest some local beers and foods to try. Got the beef goulash & schnitzel was green sauce. Both delicious!

Top 3 schnitzel places in Frankfurt. Also very good beer!

The schnitzels were excellent. My request to have fries instead of fried potatoes was accepted without any problems. The service was friendly, everything was great!

Delicious, especially the barbecue and salted pork knuckles👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I love it here. No matter what you order it is always so so so delicious. The ladies there are also very nice and helpful :) I always enjoy coming here.

Everything was very tasty, we had schnitzel, spaetzle, knuckle, crusted roast and beef roll. The green sauce was outstanding and filled plates. Would love to come back

Top. Super tasty and reasonably priced

The inn in Ostend is absolutely OK. The atmosphere is very nice, the food is good, the portions are small and the prices are high. This disproportion would be manageable if the service was on point, but here you wait a long time until you are served and the orders are actually at the table. (We went three times and each time it was exactly the same experience) During our last visit, the waitress sat next to us twice to smoke while listening to Insta or Tik Tok videos, which was pretty unprofessional. All in all it's good there and you have good food, but nothing more.

Were in this restaurant for the first time, super delicious 😋 real German cuisine. Service was very friendly and always very attentive. Can only recommend this locally.

Great food, friendly, personable staff

Good restaurant. Unfortunately, in recent years the quality of the food has decreased but the price has increased. It's still good, but it used to be 5 stars, but today it's more like 3.8. Still a recommendation!

Food was delicious! Ate here twice. I had schnitzel with mushrooms and bbq schnitzel both were great and the atmosphere of the establishment also very nice.

Very nice restaurant. Good food, good service. It's more of a restaurant than a pub. Feel free to close earlier if there is little going on.

Food is not outstanding, but quite good. But it is relatively expensive. Service has weaknesses, you often wait a long time until you can order something. You can sit outside quite nicely.

We would have loved to order something to eat around 3 p.m. today. Unfortunately, the landlord wasn't in a particularly good mood, which he made clear to us by not greeting us provocatively. The female waiter was so overwhelmed that we couldn't even place an order for food. Once and never again.

Very tasty food. (We were a group of 6 people. Everyone had something different and everyone enjoyed it very much.) Pleasant atmosphere. The staff was also very friendly, nice but a bit overwhelmed since there were only two of them.

Tasty schnitzel with a good weissbier.

Food was fantastic!! The atmosphere is elevated and modern design. Service was quick and wonderful. Highly recommended. Riesling was amazing!!

Beautiful location, lots of wood, cozy, food was delicious

Was there for the first time with my boys. Service incredibly friendly and accommodating. The food was ready very quickly and all special requests were taken into account - also totally fresh, tasty and generous portions! We look forward to coming back :)

Visiting from Canada and found this place on google. We went 2x in our 3 day trip because the food was delicious. Great sizes and prices.

Great restaurant with great food and relaxed staff.

Highly recommended. Lots of good beers. Food is also top-notch.

It's not cheap, but the food is delicious and the service is top-notch – when I mentioned that the side dish was too small for me, they even charged me extra! Overall, a well-rounded stay.

Super tasty and really large portions. We were a group of 6 and we were all thrilled. There were no differences to complain about on 3 consecutive evenings with different staff. Special praise to the kitchen for the great German dishes! A real recommendation!!!

i have shocked theway they lie, never go.

The food was okay, but the service left a lot to be desired. We initially waited in the restaurant, it must be said, not full, for 20 minutes until someone rudely asked us what we wanted to eat, whereupon we were clearly told that smaller portions were not possible. The interaction with the guests really seemed very annoyed

It's hard to find such aggressive and rude staff. Furthermore, a bottle of natural water for 7.9 euros is a steal. It is difficult to find such aggressive and rude staff. Also, a bottle of natural water at 7.9 euros is a steal.

Mediocre lunch menu and non-transparent pricing

I was there on September 15th, 2022 and September 3rd, 2024. The staff was very friendly both times. On my first visit I ordered roast pork. It wasn't until some time later that I was told by another waitress that it was sold out. I then ordered the crusted roast from the season menu. The food came quickly and was really, really good and the portion was large. The price was very reasonable. When paying, the waitress told me that cashless payment was only possible for orders over €30. Since I didn't have any cash with me, I was able to pay with a credit card. On the second visit I had a Frankfurter Schnitzel. The portion was large and the quality of the food was very good. I would only put the jar with the green sauce next to the plate and not between the food on the plate. Overall, I am happy to recommend the restaurant and increase my first rating from 4 stars to 5 stars.

Here you can enjoy delicious German home cooking with friendly service...either come at less busy times or make a reservation.✌️😎

Everything perfect except for the service...disaster!!! Customers must leave their clothes dry and go out wet :-))) Have to be careful that the drinks are not trained on you... Otherwise everything was TOP!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR EATING!!!

Nice basic service, food great value for money.

We would eat there again. But we were advised to reserve in advance by telephone.

Very good, I went back 4 times in two weeks of professional mission in Frankfurt.

We were in Ostend this week. Luckily around 5 p.m. The lady in service asked if we had res. Unfortunately no. So we had 60 minutes. That should be enough. We had a Bembel, which was very well chilled and deliciously tangy. The grit sauce to eat with. Very plentiful and tasty. I had the Frankfurter Schnitzel. Hammer. Fried potatoes super crispy. TWO schnitzels wonderfully baked and still juicy. The crowning glory was the grits sauce. I had to have a second helping. Could have bathed in it. Top recommendation.

Beyond my expectation....pork belly was cooked to perfection....great friendly service as well....

Highly recommended, a nice place to share a meal, dinner with friends, family, etc... with typical German food and very good beer. I recommend the Schnitzel with mushrooms, delicious.

Guys, I would love to give you 10 stars for the food! Incredibly delicious. We had dinner with 14 and everyone had almost a different dish. And every single one was deliciously prepared! The evening before we had a pretty bad meal somewhere else. And then the veal schnitzel in comparison. Simply wonderful. And then to finish off the Kaiserschmarrn 🤤 Many thanks to the entire team, but especially to the kitchen! Big big compliment.

Food was delicious. The waitresses were friendly, attentive and open to requests for changes.

You can't beat it when it comes to unfriendliness. I tried it three times and each time I left feeling bad. That was the last time.

Very cool restaurant with delicious food and good service. The atmosphere is very good.

Inn in the Ostend, I came there by chance with friends and we were surprised at what they had and what it tasted like! Yes, it tasted very good, everything was well prepared and served in Rückertstr. Frankfurt-Ostend. Is recommended!

Oven-fresh pork knuckle with fresh grated horseradish, sauerkraut and fried potatoes was amazing 😍 like Sunday dinner at Grandmas.

Nice team, quaint shop, very tasty food and a huge menu with something for everyone (and still delicious 😉)

Unfortunately, the many good reviews did not come true during our visit. Regarding the waiter, we wondered if he was drunk or if it was his sense of humor. Rather unpleasant for us. In general, the service seemed incredibly stressed and the placement of the guests was chaotic. This meant we couldn't enjoy our meal in a relaxed manner. The food was okay, but not so outstanding that we would come back again.

The waiter with the pigtail was very rude, seemed drunk, food kept falling drunk. He seemed annoyed and made the customers feel it. Otherwise food was great.

This was sadly the most disappointing German food I had in Frankfurt. The schnitzel was very dry and tasteless.

The food was delicious but unfortunately the music ruined everything. Mega annoying, you feel more like you're in a club than in a pub (including Carlita & SG Lewis, Jamie XX & The Avalanches). Card payment only from €35. I will definitely never enter this store again. Next time I'll go straight to Berghain for dinner!

Good restaurant with Bavarian ambience. The staff friendly and attentive.

The best Kaiserschmarrn ever, you have to try it! The schnitzels and fries are great, service is great Unfortunately, reservations are a must, but it speaks for the location! Would love to come back

Delicious and hearty food. The stylish restaurant has a modern, comfortable ambience. Small partitions create some privacy. The service is partly in the “Frankfurt tone”, but friendly and warm. Card payment was possible from around €35.

I'm no spätzle connoisseur but this was probably the best I've ever had. Generous, tasty portions of classic dishes, presented with pride in a lovely setting, you'd better go hungry! Service was very welcoming to boot, and all the guests looked warm and comfortable.

We only came to drink beers but service was rude. It changed when we told we not eat, only drink. She not accepted a card payment, only cash, but all other customers yes could buy by card🤔😤. I don't recommend service like that.

The food was excellent. The waiter and waitress seemed very stressed and were sometimes unfriendly. The waitress was also sick.

Rustic place perfect for eating typical German cuisine! I recommend their classic schnitzel 😋

TOP! Was very cool here. Delicious “home cooking” such as schnitzel with green sauce, roulades, Königsberger meatballs, meatloaf. Very tasty food, good price/performance ratio, modern and cozy furnishings. Fast, very nice service. Located directly opposite the ECB...parking garage approx. 200 meters away. We'll come back when we're in Frankfurt again.

Authentic Frankfurt ambience, very tasty food and excellent service. A compliment to the staff!

The service was a complete disaster. The lady was very sick, so she coughed into our glasses while we were serving. We were there at 4 p.m. and we were seated right next to the toilet in an empty restaurant. Our order was forgotten once and then coughed on again. We didn't want to give a tip because the service became unfriendly. I then pocketed the tip in cash again. Craziness.

Food is fantastic. Staff is very rude. Not as you would expect in Germany. Minimum price for eating is there is 35 euro.

Maybe my favorite german restaurant in frankfurt. The food is well presented, the portions are huge and everything comes really fast. Payment by card is also possible. The service is on average

We were in the mood for German cuisine. The portions are really big and everything tasted good. Price performance ok for the quantity!

What we were looking for. Staff very nice and a nice place to spend time with the family. The food was perfect especially the white cabbage.

The service was extremely unfriendly and so absent that it was almost unbearable. The food was OK but nothing special. The prices are simply far too high compared to the quality on offer. What struck me particularly negatively was the waitress with the red hair, who was so unfriendly to me that I couldn't enjoy my food.

We were in the inn with a group of more than 25 people and would like to express high praise. The challenge of serving such a large number of guests at the same time, preparing high-quality food and always refilling drinks in a timely manner was mastered with flying colors. The kitchen and the staff were excellently organized and on their toes. All guests were served quickly, without long waiting times. The food was consistently delicious and we liked the modern interpretation of Frankfurt cuisine. Particularly noteworthy is the boss of the house, who not only lends a hand, but also always has kind words for his guests. We have been guests twice now and are sure we will come back a third time. A big compliment to the entire team!

We/I were there again last night. The chestnut cream soup is a delight. We are Frankfurters and are thrilled. It's a shame you don't deliver more.

Great place, would come here again.

Very tasty food and good service always happy.

Food and atmosphere is excellent that's why i went here a second time. However, one of the staff was very uninterested in serving us as soon as we asked him kindly to communicate in english. We would get answers in german and he was busy with other things while we were telling him our order. He did apologise but the bad vibe was already there therefore we paid for our drinks and left.

Good place for schnitzel. Standard German pub food. Enjoyable and can't go wrong.

Had the Frankfurt style chicken schnitzel and it was really good. The green sauce reminds me of green juice but a thicker version. When combined with the chicken, it tasted refreshing. Chicken was nicely fried. The orange drink was super sweet. Total damage was 39.50 Euros, there’s a minimum amount required in order to pay by card.

The restaurant is highly recommended. The food tastes great here. The schnitzels and the daily specials are particularly recommended. You sit comfortably and the service is also very friendly. A reservation is necessary.

super tasty. Ambience great. what more could you want

This restaurant made my first time in Frankfurt unforgettable. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the service was excellent from start to finish. I ordered schnitzel with green sauce (a specialty from Frankfurt), and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavour and perfectly cooked. For dessert, I had apple strudel, and it was the perfect way to end the meal. It was also where I tried apple wine for the first time, and I loved it! This place really added to my trip and made me want to come back to Frankfurt. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

This is a great restaurant with good German food. The portions are big, so make sure to bring a good appetite. I can recommend the bauernschnitzel, but one of my favorites is the bbq schnitzel. As a dessert the kaiserschmarn is for me the best choice. Easily the best kaiserschmarn I had in Germany. The servers are very friendly and helpful. Big plus is you can pay by card here. Not every restaurant here has that. Parking can be done on the street next to the restaurant or in the nearby parkhaus. Make sure to make a reservation for the restaurant, as by 19.00 the place will be packed. Don't dress to warm either as with the tight spaces and loads of people it can get a bit warm there.

the kaiserschmarrn here✨⭐️💫, if I could I would bathe in it!!!!!!! It was so delicious wow, the rest of the food was also very, very tasty. Service was also very friendly and the rooms were very nicely decorated!

How's your German? I thought mine was bad enough to get around in German cities (where most speak English about as well as you). Turns out, my German mixes with my rush to completion (sorry ladies), to have me slightly disappointed. I read the name of this place on the googlie as "würsthaus" or sausage house...um, no...its "wurtshaus" or host house. Ok, that explains the menu with one sausage and umpteen schnitzels. There was a special board, which I noticed on the other side of the restaurant. Must be too heavy for occupational safety. The service is friendly enough until you want to pay €21 bill by card... some places have a €5 minimum but card, harking way back to those crazy days in 2009. Here? The cc minimum is €25. No dramas...ill pay €25, keep the change. Somehow, I bet they don't get cc tips here because my suggestion was as acceptable as a pig slaughtering lesson in a vegan bathhouse. Further, I am aware of the way to crumb said pig, so the crumbs stay firmly attached to the near-human flesh. The chef here seems to have missed that day at the porcinicide class. However, the bugger knows exactly how to fry a chopped spud...so it's not all crumby (thank you...don't miss the next review..all new material).

Good traditional tasty food and ambience. Could do with some better fish options but overall still a recommendation.

Nice pub on the street corner within sight of the ECB. Food was very good and prepared quickly. The espresso is also highly recommended. Apparently busy at lunchtime, but the interior seems spacious enough. There are larger and smaller tables. The atmosphere is very pleasant and invites you to linger. Card payment is only possible from 35 euros.

Very good restaurant to try German food!

Local German restaurant. A little tight spaced but with some quaint shared tables, great for going solo. Service is decent but you need to grab their attention. Food comes fast. The pork knuckle was decent, a little dry inside, but nice crackling on outside. Three draught beer options, locally sourced.

Just a rip off and the waitress very unfriendly!!

Among other things, the best schnitzels in Frankfurt. Prices are somewhat high but the quality is excellent.

Modern, nice inn with German cuisine. Nice ambience and nice service.

I have been both eating and drinking several times in the past year. Nice food and fair prices considering the quantities. But I take off stars for the staff. An off day can happen, especially considering the volume of customers they have, but I have often caught them rude and super hurried to order without being open to give advice, even starting intimate you to finish your drink when they see you are almost done. These are facts: filtering the comments for negative, all those with low ratings (three stars and below) all make references to the staff. This is not a defamation, but a constructive criticism, because it can be improved.

We have been to 12 countries across europe and their beef burger is in our top 4. Classic home style burger, packed with flavour and very filling. Chips were crunchy and well salted. Thanks guys!

We discovered this very busy little restaurant as we were walking! They were fully booked, but they managed to squeeze us in. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful, the beer was cold, and the apple pancakes a definite hit. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. A nice place to eat.

Wonderful, unfortunately very loud. But otherwise, great

Tasty and in the normal price range.

We eat here very often and will continue to do so again and again. Everything is perfect here: very good food, friendly staff and great owners

We were guests in Frankfurt and had dinner there because of the good reviews. Conclusion, it's great, the staff, the ambience and especially the food.

We were in the inn for the first time today. The service was great, the food and atmosphere were great, thank you
