Wirtshaus Karthäuser in Würzburg

The Schäufele was a dream. The crust, the meat... a dream 😍

I had lunch at Karthäuser with my husband and kids. As always, there were delicious cheese spaetzle and super crispy chicken with fries. For dessert we just had to have a round of apple fritters - we can't go past those. The service was super friendly and also great with the kids. Gladly again.

I only give the two stars for the service of our waiter. He alone would have deserved more. BUT the boss! There are no words for him. In any case, no good words from me. It was unbelievable how he spoke to his staff. How can you treat people like that and then expect good work to be done? If you have something to clarify, you do it behind the scenes and don't attack your employees like that in front of the guests ! But don't worry, he doesn't treat the guests much better. These are also sometimes addressed in an impossible tone. It's a shame about the beautiful restaurant. But something like that is anything but hospitality. ANSWER to the answer from the owner: Of course, something can and should be said if something is wrong. But the tone and the manner make the music. That was absolutely not right. And I have been working in the catering industry for over 30 years. So I can very well judge what works and what doesn't. And they didn't treat the guests any better either.

Half chicken potato salad 14.80 Chicken lay dry like a brick in the stomach. Potato salad bland oily dressing. Coarse wedges, some potatoes halved or in thirds, relatively hard consistency. Fries were great.

Enjoy your meal. We were there with a large group and everything went quickly.

Due to the bad waiter, 2 stars, waiter was unfriendly, argumentative and listless! used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Würzburg, I won't go there again in the future!

Bad service, overwhelmed staff, half chicken tasteless, salad tiny, all in all far too expensive. Very disappointing!

Too few staff. But they're still trying. The fries tasted warmed up. Otherwise everything is average

Very good food. We were there with 9 people. You should reserve in advance here!

Delicious food, friendly service even though she had to do everything herself. Good Franconian cuisine! PS: Can you say Franconian cuisine in Lower Franconia?! Interesting people in Bavaria

Everything was super delicious and super friendly. Cozy atmosphere and clean as well. The food was all so delicious and the atmosphere was great! Very friendly service and clean. The consommé soup is so delicious and the roast chicken is also amazing!

Food good - service partly unsatisfactory As is typical in Franconia, I ordered Schäufele, which tasted good. Overall, for €19.90 you got a good portion that was appropriate for the price. In terms of taste, I've had better Schäufele but overall it was really good but not exceptional or outstandingly good - the same applies to the gravy... I think it's good that there is no extra fee for changing inserts, as is usually the case elsewhere! Unfortunately the service left something to be desired. But here I felt particularly sorry for the waiter. The young waiter (estimated to be around 20-25 years old) had to handle the service in the entire store completely on his own, even though he was just having one of his first days... This was also noticeable because he was still very good at many things seemed unsafe and, in particular, everything took quite a long time..... But this is no wonder when you leave the entire service to a young service newcomer in a fully staffed and well-attended restaurant.... Nevertheless, he always appeared extremely friendly towards the guests and repeatedly apologized for the long waiting times and the lack of procedures due to his lack of experience. I very much hope that another service person can be found here quickly to support the young gentlemen and I especially hope that this does not remain a permanent situation, as I found it today..... As already mentioned: The service person can help you I'm most sorry here... I can actually only explain the problem that there was a short-term increase in staff shortages or that the restaurant operator simply cannot find any more waiters (or does not want to find them at all or thinks they are necessary...) We don't know what's wrong here... If you get the chance, you might want to replace the toilets in the next few years, as they are getting quite old. Overall, 4/5 stars for me because of the good food and the nice service I would like to come back on my next visit to Würzburg and hope that the service will be better then!

No idea if there is a new owner here. But the chicken we always came here for wasn't great this time. We were there with the entire family. Two small children, grandma, grandpa, my wife and me. We always came there when we were in Würzburg. Always with potato salad and half a grilled chicken. So far we have never been disappointed. This time the chicken seemed to have come out of the deep fryer. They weren't great. However, there are the fries. Grandpa had knuckle, which he also liked, and my wife also had another dish in the pan. Everyone with chicken was disappointed. Too bad. Maybe a new owner? All of this was made up for by the extremely friendly service. She seems to be the good soul of the house. At the end, the children each received a lollipop.

Huge portions on the plate, delicious food and great service. I recommend :)

I found it original, tasty and good service. To recommend.

I ordered the duck from here and my husband chicken with sweetpotatoes. It was really tasty, I recommend this place. I don’t even understand why they don’t have higher rate here.

I like to enjoy good home cooking in a cozy atmosphere. Freshly squeezed lemon juice with lemonade is a wonderful alternative to the usual drinks, which usually seem too sweet to me. The grilled chicken and pork knuckle are fabulous. The bread dumplings in cream sauce with fresh chanterelles from the daily menu were excellent. I've been coming here for decades and am happy to recommend it. Many thanks and best regards to the entire team.

Unfortunately, that was a complete disappointment. We ordered 5 dishes and the Schäufle Burger three times. The baguette simply came raw and was not baked; you could hardly eat it. When I asked the waitress about it, she was totally crazy Silly and didn't want to listen to it. Therefore nothing was done. It's a shame but we won't be coming back

Was there for the 3rd time. Before that, about 3 years ago. The quality is not recommended. Unfortunately, when the owner changes, the quality also changes. That was true in the truest sense of the word. I will never be a guest there again. Sorry, but criticism was necessary.

I'll tell you honestly, load up, what is this rubbish, this pizza, rubbish, this burger 🍔 just by God! And then I would have preferred to give 45€ to a homeless person

A fantastic Franconian sauerbraten.

Food was ok, prices unfortunately a bit too high for some dishes like the burgers/sandwiches

After a long time I felt like half a chicken again, I wanted to try the BBQ chicken (marinated in BBQ). Unfortunately, it wasn't marinated; after serving, they simply poured BBQ sauce over it. 🤦🏼‍♂️ 14.90€ the usual half chicken costs 9.90€ The cordon bleu was fried! Come on guys, that just doesn't work. A little butter in a pan and fried nice and slow. Complete!! The level of catering continues to fall while prices rise. 👏 Keep it up!

It was the worst chicken I had ever eaten. Tasteless, no crispy skin and dry as straw. When I complained, the chicken was taken away and put back in the oven. When it came back it was swimming in oily garlic. The fries were rock hard and had obviously been thrown in the grease again and fried again. Therefore they were very crunchy and also inedible. My companions and I haven't eaten so badly in a long time. The service tried to save the whole thing. But friendliness doesn't help if it doesn't taste good. A pity. And we had to pay expensive money for that.

Very tasty meal. Friendly service.

It was a beautiful afternoon in Würzburg. I didn't want to drink, but the waiter, who was the best waiter I've ever experienced, because my friend hadn't ordered a beer, he always made very, very funny comments. I love this place. Apart from the waiter, the food was really, really great. I would recommend the restaurant in Würzburg at any time, as the overall package is optimal - between a good waiter and optimal food! Thank you for everything! p.s. We would like to order two shots!

Wow! What a typical Franconian meal from a Berlin innkeeper! Arrived sober and headed straight into town! What more could you want… Oh, the fruit schnapps is world class.

Carthusian pizza was once...this was replaced by onion pizza. Mushrooms were canned and artichokes were completely missing. Tomato sauce way too thick. There wasn't anything else on the pizza. The usual taste was also not recognizable. Ordered 4 pizzas when we received them after 30 minutes. No one wanted to pick up. Our guess: New chef or new owner. Quality...very bad, a shame...

Traditional Franconian restaurant with typical Franconian cuisine. Nice service.

I've known him since my childhood. Haven't been there for a long time, but a recommended place for delicious home-cooked delicacies.

Very disappointing! It used to be the best chicken in the city...and now the gocker was more like half a pigeon, barely found on the plate...completely dried out, a few more rounds on the grill and it would have crumbled to dust...the schnitzel was like the sole of a shoe. ...rarely have such bad food, it's a shame about an old Würzburg restaurant, that's it for the Karthauser restaurant

Good and extensive Franconian menu at reasonable prices for Würzburg. There are still the legendary Grill-Göger. Nice personel.

ATTENTION RIP-OFF! Danger! Do not order food from this restaurant. Have ordered dumplings here several times and EVERY time at least 2 dumplings were forgotten. This time when I called and asked about the forgotten dumplings, an incompetent service person simply hung up after asking respectfully. After calling again, the manager simply lied and said we hadn't ordered it, even though you can read it in black and white. Then he simply hung up. I have never experienced such disrespect from a restaurant. The end result was that we didn't get our money or our food back. So be careful with such liars!

Never again… We've been ordering Schäufele with dumplings there for 1-2 years now. Today 2 dumplings were delivered too few, we called and asked for a subsequent delivery. The lady (who is hard to understand) said she had to work and simply hung up. We then called again and asked to speak to the manager. He said there were no dumplings with the dish (but there are!!! What should I do with a dry Schäufele without sauce and dumpling?! Besides, we have already ordered the dish several times!) and we were disrespectful to the employee - the employee who just hangs up. But okay, when I wanted to describe my situation, the managing director simply hung up. Now the restaurant owes us money…. Thanks for nothing.

A delicacy of grilled chicken with vegetable salad plus lettuce and pickled green cucumbers and cumin - perfect. with a pint of beer And perfect companionship

You get something that you order nicely and then you have to remind the service several times that you forgot something and in the end you get what you want to go to, which is 2 stars because of the service

You are simply ignored here, the workers walk past you and when you ask if you can sit down, no one knows how to help. The older lady in service in particular is very unprofessional

I don't know of any other restaurant that serves half a chicken with fries. This absolutely has to stay. Of course you can also fry chicken. I'll be back.

Half chicken with fries was ordered. First, the supplement arrived incorrectly. There was no dip/sauce with the chicken. So I asked for ketchup. The boss, Oliver Amin, then approaches us from the side, asking us to let him run again. It's unbelievable how the customers are treated here. In addition, since the tenant changed, the food is no longer as good as it used to be. Chicken dry and side dishes also only mediocre. Mr. Amin - it's a shame that you left such an impression.

We ordered food but unfortunately only received half of it. Bad service!

The employees are very rude and the boss in particular is aggressive

The waitress was very friendly and the service and food were really great.

It's a shame, it's been the place to go for good home-style food for years. My husband's chicken farts dry, his statement: every chicken in the supermarket truck tastes like gourmet. For me it was the wrong food and comments were also ignored. Toilets broken, doorknob in hands in the cabin of the men's toilet. That was probably the last time :(

If you're hungry, you'll be happy to come back here, super tasty and cheap

Today I ordered from Wirtshaus Kartäuser via Lieferando, and only one portion of the ordered goods arrived, even though we ordered 2. There was no receipt either (very suspicious). After calling to ask what happened to the second portion, the only answer I got was "we're no longer delivering today, I can order the second one again this week" am I in the wrong movie? or can I only pay when the second portion arrives? I've never experienced anything so cheeky and you should check the whole place to see if things are going well. Very shameful if you think you are in good hands in a traditional restaurant.

May 18, 2024 8 p.m. I picked up two half chickens. Saleswoman stood for at least half an hour. Chicken sold us. I asked her specifically. I would have the fresh one. The lady said it was fresh too, but unfortunately I didn't open it like that at home and the chicken was almost dry. If you can't swallow any more, never again Carthusian -5

Excellent food and the worst manager in the world... Totally uninterested and slow as a sloth in the last pull...

Traditional Schäufele is super tasty - definitely try it. Fast and very friendly service. I would highly recommend it.

Very tasty Schäufele, so tender that the meat could be removed from the bone with a fork. The service was super nice even though she had her hands full

I recommend it. The average bill is 50 euros and it’s cheap. My wife and I were passing through Wurzburg. We wanted to eat and went to this establishment. The food is divine. The cooks and waiters are professionals. We were pleasantly surprised that the girl waiter spoke easily to us in Russian when she realized that we did not speak German.

Bad service, not ftiendly, chicken too dry.

We had roast lamb and ox cheeks. Very tasty and plentiful. A good basis for the subsequent wine tasting.

Unfortunately little/no vegan food. But for getting drunk: Best place

It's fun every time, very friendly service

I know Carthusian from before. They used to have the world's best chicken there. What we were served there on Monday was bad. The chicken was so dry it was hard to eat and the fries were just hard. A pity!!!

It's not what it used to be. In the past you had problems finding a free table, today it's exactly the opposite. The chickens are weighed at 1300g. (it says so on the menu) and it is “at most” 900 grams from the freezer. The fries are Mc D...thin and flabby. The waitress has to prepare food, clean tables, pour drinks and wash up. It won't work like that 👎 I'm from the catering industry myself 😉

Very nice service. Food was delicious. It was already when we were children... 👍Read since 1951 👍👍👍Great job 👍

The food was delicious and the service was nice and friendly. Highly recommended!

Salad was no longer fresh the dressing wasn't that great

Great food at good prices and very nice service! Clearly recommended!

We can't say much about the food, we were there with a dog and apparently there were no tables left. The people after us, who hadn't made a reservation, got in without any problems. What's that about? I can only advise against this place.

Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best fries in town too ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unfortunately only apple fritters ⭐️⭐️ they definitely work better! Everything took a little longer, but it was just one operation. We will be back!

Excellent food and good service 👌

Very good Franconian food, good quality as always 👍🏼

The traditional point of contact for half a chicken in Würzburg!!!

Everything fine! Very tasty and great service! Gladly again!

The pilsner was delicious and the service was highly qualified.

There is a large selection of food here. We tried both the leg of lamb and the grilled chicken and both tasted very good. The service was also very friendly. We will come back in any case!

What was it like here? As always delicious! Karthäuser is a Würzburg classic!👍😃👍

I like to eat liver, chicken with fries, spicy currywurst

Food is plentiful and delicious 😋. If you like Franconian cuisine, this is the right place. There's everything from liver to Schäuferle. Special are the very best grilled chickens. 😋😋😋😋😋

People go to the Karthausen and don't order anything!!! The food is always very tasty, hot and appetizingly prepared. I've been coming since I was a child and have never been disappointed. I can recommend it to anyone who likes hearty!!!!

One star is already too many. In 2020 it was a pleasure. A female-looking and strong waitress is incredibly unfriendly. I ordered fried chicken that day and what was brought to the table looked like half a quail. When I asked why the oven was so much bigger and the one I got was so small, the waitress started and asked how hungry I was. And was so loud the whole restaurant could hear it. The price for the whole experience - half a hand/quail, a salad plus a soft drink - comes to €17.50. Never go to the store again.

Always a solid, delicious Franconian meal! 👍🏼🍗🍖

The best half chicken around! And this has been the case for decades!

At 11:30 a.m. on Sundays, completely black, dry chicken. Likewise the fries. We have been buying there for decades, but the quality has suffered greatly!

Really rustic, beautiful restaurant with delicious food, very well priced and nice staff

Good home-style food and great service.

Haxe to take away now costs 11 euros! Two years ago 6 euros! That's not how it works! Without me !

Rustic Franconian furnishing style that has its charm. If you want to eat a great, if not the best, Schäuffelle in Würzburg, you've come to the right place. In addition to the Schäuffele, the knuckle and half a chicken are definitely worth mentioning. Really super tasty

I ordered a “Schäufele Burger” through Lieferando and received something like a bad sandwich 🥪 with a cheap baguette, coleslaw and meat. The whole thing for a whopping €13.50. According to Lieferando, the operator didn't want to deal with my complaint at all. I will certainly never order or eat from you again. With a “burger” like this, I’d rather eat a meat loaf roll or, even better, a real sandwich 😂 Huge disappointment!

Franconian specialties of the house on offer. Freshly grilled chicken and knuckles are prepared in a great, large grill oven. The food is always very good in taste and plentiful. Old rustic restaurant in a simple style. Very friendly service. Delicious cheese spaetzle. The Schwabenpfännchen sauce is brilliant.

The food tasted very good. The ambience is a bit old and the service was appropriate and friendly, solid.

A portion of ready-made spaetzle from the wholesale market (around €1.50 per kg) for €6.80... isn't great... but the grilled chicken burger for €12.5o (without any side dish) is already at the limit too cheeky!...if the meat had at least tasted good, but unfortunately not even that.

I just can't write it any other way. I was born in Würzburg. When I was young, Carthusian had a name and everyone went there. Unfortunately, the years are over. I'm not going there anymore. Complete disappointment unfortunately.

I can't believe what has happened to what I thought was a Würzburg institution. Years ago when living in Würzburg, this was the place to get the best schweinshaxe in whole unterfranken. Today after returning with my husband I decided to show him the best place I loved to go and eat. But to my surprise there was another woman from an entire different country at the window counter. Nothing bad but this had me worried. So I ordered my haxe which usually you can see on the rotary but this time came from the kitchen. It took around 15 minutes which also was usually taken from the grill in two minutes. Plus the woman peeking from the kitchen was also not a native which really had me worried about my over priced haxe. When we finally received my haxe it was the smallest hamhock I have ever seen. I was appalled and disgusted. The Karthäuser has been ruined and understandably empty. I could have screamed. I'm so sad for Würzburg. This is uncalled for.

Super Schnitzel 👍 super Pommes 😋 Hat mir sehr gefallen...

Lecker Medaillons gegessen. Super Preis Leistung Verhältnis

Hatte um kurz nach 18 Uhr heute seit über 15 Jahren das erste mal wieder halbe Hänchen zum mitnehmen geholt, der erste Schock kam beim bezahlen, das halbe kostete 8€ das Stück. Bezahlt am Automaten, der nicht mal einen Kassenbon ausspuckt (hiermit erinnere ich an die gesetzlichen Vorschriften). Immerhin gab es eine Tüte für den Transport. Der Mitarbeiter war zwar freundlich, jedoch war er nicht der schnellste und machte den Eindruck nicht die allerhellste Kerze auf der Torte zu sein (dies ist allerdings ein persönlicher Eindruck und mag anderen anders vorkommen). Zuhause angekommen (keine 10 Minuten später) kam die nächste Überraschung, nicht mal eine einzige Serviette war dabei. Von außen sahen die Händel ganz passabel aus, die Portionsgröße entsprach auch der üblichen. Aber die Haut war schon sehr zäh (kann an den Verpackungstüten liegen - Feuchtigkeitsstau), schlimmer allerdings war, dass das Fleich furchtbar trocken war. Hier musste dann Ketchup als Rutschhilfe herangezogen werden. Doch das teilweise schon vertrocknet zusammengrbackene Fleich war kaum zu kauen. Alles in allem waren die Hänchen nicht mal 4€ Wert! Diesen Spaß werden wir sicher nicht wiederholen!

Nicht mehr wie früher,hat leider stark nachgelassen, Schade! Service bemüht.Küche ,naja.

Das Karthäuser ist seit Jahren bekannt für seine leckeren halben Hähnchen. Heute waren wir spontan zum Mittag hier essen. Die Hähnchen sind immer noch Mega frisch und lecker und zu empfehlen

Abends schnell Pommes geholt. Waren wie immer lecker! Einfach ein Klassiker in Würzburg.

Wir haben halbes Hähnchen gegessen

Waren seit langer Zeit mal wieder in Karthäuser essen. Neuer Besitzer, der noch einiges vom alten Besitzer übernehmen könnte. Vor allem die geschmacklichen Komponenten

+ essen sehr lecker und Portionen angemessen, Wartezeit von 45 min. Grade so akzeptabel - verpeilter Kellner, essen kam nur nach und nach, bekamen fremde Leute mit an den Tisch gesetzt !? Was zur Hölle? Tlw. Lautes und unangenehmes Klientel im Lokal

Super Chef, mega leckeres Knoblauchhähnchen mit Süßkartoffeln. Das kann man nur empfehlen. Grüsse an den Bruder und danke für das Freibier 😊 Grüsse vom gestrandeten Lokführer

Eine erstklassige Schweinshaxe, trotz Lieferung. So lob ich mir das. Kompliment an den Koch! PS: Vielen Dank für die Extrabeilage!

Neue Besitzer… da gibt es noch einiges zu tun. Hähnchen waren trocken und der Service war genauso wie vorher … also ausbaufähig

War schon vor 50 Jahren mit meiner Oma hier beim Essen. Deshalb gefällt mir das Mobiliar auch, ist, wie damals. Service war ok. Was allerdings das Essen angeht, bin ich RICHTIG enttäuscht. War vor ein oder zwei Jahren schon mal hier, da war das Hähnchen SEHR trocken und zäh, die Haut einfach trocken. Heute wieder dasselbe ☹️. Das Hähnchen -früher war das Karthäuser Hendl Kult- knochentrocken, die Haut verbrannt und wieder brüchig, so trocken war diese. Der Kartoffelsalat war geschmacksneutral. Der Beilagensalat war ok, trotz Fertig-Dressing Leider keine Empfehlung mehr😔

Ehrliches Wirtshaus, ehrliche Küche, einfach klasse. Gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Alles kein ChiChi, man ist Gast und fühlt sich wohl!
