Wolfsschlucht in Ansbach

Update 2025. Superb Franconian restaurant. Cordon bleu is still amazing. Update: Still the best cordon bleu after 3 years. Excellent Franconian cuisine. Large portions. No one goes home hungry. Always worth a visit.

Huge portions at reasonable prices. Great taste and excellent service!

Unfortunately, no picture available, as you can leave your phone at home when you go out to eat! Service: Friendly and helpful, very attentive and warm ❤️ Atmosphere: Clearly a tavern in Ansbach, Franconia. Beautiful old pictures. Very clean and well-maintained! Food: 100% home-style cooking, top-notch quality. Portions are large. Everything tastes delicious, and you can tell the kitchen puts love into every dish! I've been there three times in the last four weeks and can highly recommend the Wolfsschlucht. We don't usually go out to eat often, but everything here is harmonious! Thank you, keep up the good work 👏

The restaurant may be small, but the food is all the more substantial. The portions are really good for the price. The staff is very friendly.

Since I came across the delicious-looking pictures of Franconian dishes last time, but still couldn't get a table due to its supposed popularity, I visited the restaurant with great anticipation. Nothing impressed me except the quantity of what you get in the canteen, which was bland, oversalted, with salads that looked more like pickled in sauce than fresh vegetables with sauce. Because of the long wait of an hour and a half, this restaurant is off the menu for good. If you don't have to watch every penny to get your fill, please don't go. There are plenty of good restaurants in the city center! A very bad experience that was a complete waste of time.

Well, it's a matter of taste, of course. If you like it simple, then fine. The sauces are very thin, rather watery.

Very good food. Simple and functional decor, but everything was very clean. The service staff were friendly and attentive despite the obvious high volume. Special praise!

The best Franconian cuisine, great portions. Simply really good.

A truly delicious inn! The portions are large, the food hearty and of the highest quality. The prices are fair, the people friendly, and the room a haven of coziness. Anyone looking for hearty food for a fair price is in good hands here. I'll be happy to return!

Very nice and tasty, but a bit expensive for the amount of food on the plate

The food was truly excellent. It only loses one star for the ambiance because the tables were so close together that the waitress couldn't get through, and we had to serve everything ourselves. But overall, we were all very satisfied.

Super delicious food ❤️ Everything fresh ❤️ Friendly service ❤️ Great value for money ❤️

Everything perfect, price-performance top

I've eaten at Wolfsschlucht several times, and the portions are always truly enormous—much larger than you'd expect, considering the price. The waiters are incredibly kind people who put a lot of heart into their work. Tips are always appreciated. The only negative is that you can sometimes hear the chef shouting, which can be annoying for guests. Back then, the wait times for food were relatively long, but this has since been improved and is now normal. Overall, though, it's a super delicious restaurant, with delicious vegetarian dishes too :)

Prices are quite high, portions are excessively large. Otherwise, tasty and good.

The service and quality are top-notch. Portions are large and absolutely delicious. You can't beat the price/performance ratio. If we're in Ansbach again and are hungry, we'll come back. Thanks for the great food.

Our absolute favorite restaurant in Ansbach and the surrounding area... The food is truly so delicious... The service is very friendly and attentive... We always enjoy coming back 👍

Waited over an hour for the food. Schnitzel was raw! Roast pork was way too thick and fatty.

A really good place to enjoy good German cuisine in large portions. I'd happily go back again and again....

Unfortunately, it's declined considerably. Instead of large portions, a bit more quality would be desirable. The sauces now seem to be made from instant powders, and the meat quality hasn't been that great the last few times. As reported in several reviews, the couple who run the restaurant often have no control over their aggression, and the poor, overworked employees are loudly belittled in front of all the guests.

My "regular" restaurant, which I like to go to every now and then. Some things to note: 1. You can usually wait a bit for your food. That's normal at Wolfsschlucht. 2. The manager is usually in a state of hectic activity and not always entirely customer-focused. You can also hear people complaining about people when she's in the kitchen. There's room for improvement here. 3. It's often quite crowded, so arrive early if you want to eat quickly. The dishes themselves are usually very good and very filling. No comparison to many other restaurants. Here, you get value for money – even if the prices have increased significantly. But that's not the fault of Wolfsschlucht itself. The schnitzels could be a bit crispier, the fries are sometimes way too soggy – but the roasts and other dishes are always very tasty. Even if the roasts could have used a slice more meat or a few more dumplings. Compared to the rest, though, it's top-notch!

We've eaten at the Wolfsschlucht every now and then and were very satisfied until our last visit. However, not on our last visit, at the beginning of this year. We had to wait a very long time, over an hour and a half, for our food, even though the restaurant wasn't overly busy, and what we were served was a disgrace. The meat wasn't cooked all the way through and looked like a leftover. After a few bites, we sent the whole thing back. Unfortunately, prices have risen sharply and are now unaffordable for a family. Fortunately, there are still restaurants in Ansbach serving good food at reasonable prices. We've certainly removed the Wolfsschlucht from our menu.

The best Franconian food! Tastes like old, traditional grandma's cooking. I'll happily come back again until I've tried all the dishes. Liver dumpling soup, beef liver, veal Wiener schnitzel, delicious, delicious, and delicious. The portions are huge and the value is great!

Ate the rump steak today. And again, it was world-class. The quality is consistently good. No matter what you order, it simply tastes good. Thank you, please keep it up 😊

We were here by chance and were passing through. We had called shortly beforehand and checked whether it was open and whether lunch was still being offered (it was already half past twelve). We were expected and served in a friendly manner. The food was very tasty and plentiful - as you would expect in Franconia! Thank you very much!

Good home cooking. Rather inconspicuous from the outside but very good cuisine and very good service. Large portions, but what's even better, incredibly well prepared. Full recommendation

Food is good, very plentiful and inexpensive!

Friends recommended this restaurant to me because the portion sizes were very good and dishes like dumplings and Spätzel were made from scratch, which is why I really wanted to eat there. We reserved a table for 10 people at 6 p.m. and then placed the order at 8 p.m. The side salad didn't arrive until shortly after 7 p.m. and the food was a long time coming. When we asked at 7:20 p.m. where the food was and it would take another 20 minutes, we canceled the meal and didn't have to pay for the salad but for the drinks. Five of us then left and the others' food didn't arrive until shortly after 8 p.m. I would have liked to try the food but I won't try it a second time unless it's on the house

The food is convincing. A reservation is recommended. The service exudes a lot of calm, is reserved and gives space. The plates stay on the table a little longer.

Very good Central Franconian cuisine. Large portions, if you're not sure if you can manage it, you should bring a tupperware container.

Outstanding schnitzel👍👍👍👍👍 The waiting time of over an hour was really tough, but you have to say the store was absolutely full, so you have to accept that!!! but this schnitzel was a burner!!! We'll be back and hope it goes faster...Thank you very much

Old inn with “morbid” charm. Probably the best veal liver I've ever eaten. Augustinian beers and delicious Franconian wines also surprised me.

Top quality and value for money

Never had such a good rump steak! They're all pretty big portions so the price is more than justified.

Good food only the innkeepers are very stressed and like to argue in the kitchen.

Yes. Unfortunately we had a small mishap today, but it was solved very nicely. Would love to come back.

Sure! If you love Franconian cuisine, the Wolfsschlucht is the perfect choice. Don't forget to reserve a table! The Wolfsschlucht is fully booked.

If you are used to the fact that the innkeepers are sometimes a little rougher and the waiting times can be a little longer, you can usually get fantastic, home-made food at a still fair price.

The food was very freshly prepared, a poem 😊

Unfortunately, yesterday was a disappointment. Hair in the food happens to the best chef, but when it happens twice in one evening and the service can't even apologize, we're a little pissed. Food was good as always.

Price performance top!!! Cordon bleu, cutlet and salads all very, very good!!! Service quick and very nice!! Keep it up, we'll be happy to come back!!

Zurecht die beste Wirtschaft mit fränkischem Essen. Gäste kann man sich nicht aussuchen aber das Essen und die Bedienung sind hervorragend!!

Large portion (Schäufele). The taste was very good, but the sauce was unfortunately a bit watery. Still recommended.

Yes, cozy, Franconian: a fat “Bassd scho” 🤩😍 We were completely satisfied, children are also very welcome 👍

Very 😋 delicious!! Big portions!

Very tasty Very nice staff Very good quality and prices Thank you

Gave up in frustration If you like delicious Franconian food with decent portions at reasonable prices, the Wolfsschlucht is one of the best addresses in Ansbach. But on condition that you get in. That's why I'm particularly sorry that I'm giving this overall rating like this. Anyone who knows the Wolfsschlucht knows that it is always full there. You can try your luck as a couple without a reservation. But we would like to go with a larger group, so we have to make a reservation. If you live several kilometers away from Ansbach, this is only possible by telephone. But that's only theoretical. We've been trying to call there for days to reserve a table. 50 attempts are not enough. Morning, lunch, evening, night, outside opening hours, within opening hours, at the beginning of opening hours, at the end of opening hours, during opening hours but outside kitchen hours.... Either it rings free and through or it rings busy. Unfortunately, this has also happened to friends who wanted to cancel a reservation. We also understand the problems with a lack of service staff. But can't be reached by phone at any time? No email address? No online booking option? No nothing? Then unfortunately it doesn't matter in the rating how good the food and service are. Because we can't get there with our group. Frustrated and annoyed, we give up trying to eat with the group in the Wolfsschlucht and make a reservation at another good restaurant in Ansbach and we wish all the other hungry people better luck than us.

Nice to sit. The food was very good. Fried carp is crispy and so is baked carp. Tasty sauces, dumplings and salad. Large selection. Price reasonable, friendly service. Highly recommended.

Very nice, well-kept Franconian restaurant. The dining room was full and even though the waitress was alone, there were no waiting times, everything ran smoothly, just as you would expect. The food was very good and the portions were more than sufficient, the prices were absolutely fair. We'd love to come back. We had a roast venison and a cordon bleu.

Thank you very much, food was very tasty. It took a little longer, but absolutely ok for a meal like this on a Sunday lunchtime.

Despite reservations, we were first kept waiting, then parked at a table from where we were directed back to the value area. Reserved at 7 p.m., arrived at 6:50 p.m. and left at 7:25 p.m.

Food and prices are reasonable. Good portion sizes. One service for the entire restaurant is not enough. Well attended on Sundays.

Once again fantastic Franconian cuisine, no frills, really large portions. Was fine!

Food was great and very plentiful.

Regional food, top service, very tasty. Portions more than sufficient.

Very large portions and very tasty 😋

The cuisine is of very high quality and offers an excellent selection of dishes, all fresh and homemade. The portions are generous and the value for money is excellent. The ambience of the guest room is cozy and reminiscent of times gone by, although some guests might find it too rustic.

We have always come regularly to Wolfsschlucht to eat because it is simply the best German restaurant in the entire district. The food is always incredibly tasty, the portions are huge and the prices are great. You have to plan for a wait but it's worth it!

Food very very good. Staff was a bit stressed. Well, some guests are also very impatient. We'd love to come back.

Good and cheap, large selection and portions

Mein Lieblingslokal Essen lecker ,günstig und für den Preis mega Portionen . Personal sehr freundlich . Bin so gerne dort

We sat outside. The atmosphere here is not so cozy - right on the street (without privacy protection such as plant pots or similar) with a view of unsightly residential buildings. But the food makes up for it - very good, really large portions, good value for money. Very nice service person.

The food stamp for schnitzel & Co.!!

Great restaurant 👍 with a great menu and very nice and friendly service 👍‼️

“Very good home-style food, great value for money. There is also the option to order a half or small portion, which I think is great. It was very busy on a Friday evening so we had to wait a bit for our food, but that was fine. The service staff was always friendly.”

Very good food, large portions and everything for every taste and budget, I can only recommend this restaurant, definitely come by! See you soon, your customer Norbert Zech

Great food! Friendly quick service

Very good food, as well as the beer. The only flaw is that it is often not open, like many places in Ansbach.

Very tasty food and plenty of it! The portions are huge! The staff is very friendly. But when we were there it was very crowded and we had to wait a long time for food. But everything came together so that we could all eat at the same time.

The portions are generous and it tastes absolutely delicious. Really good Franconian home cooking!!! The price-performance ratio is still right, good food at good prices. Excellent!!!!

Great restaurant with huge portions and really tasty food. Highly recommended 👍

Sometimes you could hear the rough tone, it was very busy and there was a long wait. But we received information that it takes longer.. you need a lot of time on Sundays

The cheese spaetzle and the mushrooms in cream with homemade spaetzle were extremely tasty. The service was also excellent. However, the working atmosphere in the kitchen didn't seem to be optimal that day. The cook was clearly audibly loud, which reached into the dining rooms and somewhat detracted from the otherwise pleasant atmosphere...

Typical Franconian cuisine on a Sunday lunch. Good liver dumpling soup, the Schäufele was quite fatty and had a very light sauce. The homemade dumpling was very heavy and unfortunately not finished in the middle. There was a free entertainment program, the chef was apparently very angry and temperamental about something... so you could hear his displeasure quite loudly throughout the restaurant.

Delicious food, good selection, ready quickly

Schnitzel and potato salad are very, very good!! Very well served! Restaurante muito bom!!

Best pub in Ansbach. Portions are typical Franconian. I like simplicity. The dishes come on the plate in the same design as my grandma's, on the corner bench at the back.

The boss is very unfriendly and you can feel sorry for the staff.

It's just a good, middle-class restaurant and not a hotel. Waiting time normal, arriving, ordering, eating, paying, time 1 hour, is normal. We come often and are satisfied every time.

Here it means a lot and cheap, which you can see when there are a lot of seniors in the house. Unfortunately at the expense of quality. Service was alone and the house was full. She tried the best.

Very good food, 3 dishes were very tasty. One dish, the venison goulash, was unfortunately inedible; the waitress acknowledged it without comment! Very unfortunate.

Top ! Children friendly Wild goulash mega! The best economy!

A lovely and welcoming eatery. Excellent food. Extensive selection of different dishes. Rich portions that are hard to manage. In short, great Franconian cuisine that is highly recommended.

Delicious food, very large portions that make the slightly longer wait worth it. Unfortunately, it's not easy to order more beer when the landlady is serving herself. You can also order the food to take away.

Great food, large portions, service very friendly, prices TOP👍👍👍 We'll be happy to come back here👍 highly recommended👍😉✌️

The food is a culinary delight. From soup, main course to salad.

I can recommend the Wolfsschlucht! Large portions and very good food. It is an advantage to reserve in advance as it is usually fully booked.

The restaurant was recommended to me by a vegetarian, even though they only served spaetzle there :D. She said the food is good and lots of it. Today I personally convinced myself... I love it here, super large portions, tastes excellent and at a good price. I'll definitely come there more often now. Service was also really great. It was busy but the food still came quickly. Absolute recommendation!

Good lunch, popular with older people. The service is underrated, the furnishings are clear and simple with a touch of Franconia

The staff in the restaurant are very good and friendly. The food is plentiful and plenty. The price is reasonable. In summer the places are always occupied. I can only recommend the restaurant.

We felt very comfortable and the food was very good! The service was also really great! Thank you for the lovely evening 👍

Delicious! Good service and generous portions

It s cheap! But this is also noticeable in the quality. If you want large, exaggerated portions, want to pay little for it, but don't value quality, ready-made sauces from the pack, etc., you're in good hands here. The waitress, who wasn't really technically competent, couldn't provide any information about the ingredients. Also little attention, despite empty glasses. It took a very long time until we had our food, there were 5 of us, and everything was brought individually at intervals. Conclusion again, if you want to eat cheaply, want huge portions, but don't expect high service and quality, you're in good hands here.

Very good cuisine, portions to fill you up and at unbeatably fair prices!

The food is really very good, but unfortunately there is only one waitress in the shop, which makes for unpleasant waiting times. Still, it's worth the wait!

We were here to eat carp. The carp were very tasty. You could eat very comfortably in the bright and recently renovated restaurant.

Super delicious food and mega large portions

This evening we had dinner with 6 adults and 2 kids. Ambience very cozy and clean. The food was delicious and plentiful from everyone. The service was great, polite and courteous, despite the stress because every table was occupied. Keep it up, we'll be back. Kind regards to the chef.

Reichhaltiges Essen. Gut und fast zuviel.

Wir waren heute wieder einmal da. Essen immer tipptopp Bedienung war aber gnadenlos überfordert Aber essen und preislich 👍🏻
