Würzburger Hofbräu Biergarten in Würzburg

Unfortunately, the food was cold. Once and never again.

We had made a reservation in advance, were there with a group of 30 people, and had a private room. The service was excellent; we were always able to order promptly. The food was also delicious and arrived very quickly, even for such a large group.

It was a wonderful evening in the beer garden, good food, and above all a great service from Mr. Lüfte, good service, very good entertainment, simply very pleasant

Went there for dinner yesterday, spontaneously, not the first time. Unfortunately, it seemed like an even worse day than usual. The food, from the soups to the main course, was lukewarm - cold! The dumplings were very watery on the outside and hard in the middle, as if they had been in water for too long, cooled down and then reheated - and we wondered why so many went back - we got the answer after we got ours. The sauce was cold, and there was very little and relatively tasteless. The festive soup tasted like ready-made products for €7.90 - not acceptable. Of course, I informed the extremely nice waiter about this - his reply: "I've heard several times today that the food is cold" - he passed it on to the kitchen.... There's nothing to complain about the ambience or the staff - but the food is just not good. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, then this is not the place for you - it's very noisy inside.

I was a regular here long before the beer garden was renovated – with family, friends, colleagues, often several times a month. Just yesterday, I was here with friends and quite naturally tipped a friendly young waitress €2. But what I experienced today was simply disappointing and disrespectful. An extremely unfriendly waiter deliberately addressed me in English, even though I spoke clear German – apparently assuming I was a tourist and could be deceived. As soon as I ordered, I was told I had to add a €1 tip. I've never experienced anything like this in all my eight years in Germany. The two beers were placed on the table without a word, without asking who they were for – and the waiter just walked on. No greeting, no eye contact, no courtesy. I'm happy to tip if the service is good – but this behavior was a disgrace. This is not how you treat regulars. This is not how you treat guests at all. We consciously didn't seek conflict at that moment—our children were there, and both my husband and I place great importance on good manners. But inside, I was stunned. And what hurt me most: I felt like I was treated differently because of my appearance or my background—despite communicating clearly in German. A form of silent but tangible discrimination that should have no place in our society. I won't be coming back—and I won't recommend this place to anyone. I'm not a Chinese person, I'm not a Chinese person.

We were there for lunch today. The service and location were great, and of course the food was too. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty German food! Everything was deliciously prepared, and the Brathändle (a German sausage) in particular blew us away. The service could have been a bit faster, but the staff were pleasant and friendly. The interior is very inviting and appropriately decorated. All in all, a very nice Hofbräu with delicious food and a wide selection of good beers.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with our visit to this restaurant. The service was inattentive and disorganized – we had to wait a very long time to order our food. Since there were obviously enough waiters on site, we didn't understand why. The dishes themselves were rather mediocre in taste. The value for money was particularly disappointing – clearly too expensive for the quality. The interior is inviting. It's a shame; we expected more. We probably won't be back again.

Unfortunately, the waiter treated me very disrespectfully. I didn't feel welcome. The menu wasn't suitable for me - they could explore what works better with the individual components. (Perhaps a dish that combines a bratwurst or a steak with cheese spaetzle.) Perhaps add meat to the additional side dish section and make possible adjustments more transparent. The iced tea and the tarte flambée were great; it would also be cool to offer cocktails and create them myself. After this experience, I will unfortunately not be a guest in the future, but I wish you continued success and hope something like this doesn't happen again.

We were in the self-service area and had our food with us. It was a cozy, warm summer evening with friends and good conversation.

Top beer garden, top food and very friendly service

The food was okay, but nothing more. The Schipfnudeln were a bit hard.

Super good food and excellent service, especially from Lütfi.

We stopped by on a trip, so it was a shame we couldn't order more of the delicious beer. We would have loved to eat our way through the menu. But the fried chicken and bratwurst were also convincing, although the potato and cucumber salad tasted okay, albeit with a slightly soggy texture. All in all: a nice place, fair prices, friendly service. We'd love to come back and try more of the truly extensive selection.

Everything was perfect. The beer garden is beautiful, with lots of trees and a playground for the kids. The staff are very friendly and attentive.

Everything's great! But €4.90 for a beer that comes straight from the pipeline from the lager? Guys, you shouldn't be so greedy. There are no shipping costs, etc. They could tweak that a bit. Otherwise, the food and service are top-notch. No offense, just a tip.♡

Very nice ambiance. Restrooms clean 👍 Service very friendly and attentive. Food good, requests accommodated 👍

Dear Hofbräu team! We were with you on Tuesday after a funeral service. About 60 people in the Keilerstube. Marina once again served us very competently. A wonderful waitress. It's not just a job, it's a calling. She's simply fantastic 😊 You can be proud to have such a wonderful, empathetic person on your team. The Hofbräukeller is truly recommended. We'd love to come back. Best regards to Marina and thanks again ☺️ Best regards, Uschi

A beer garden as you'd imagine it, shaded by mature trees, spaciously laid out, and traditionally furnished. There's also a secure area where children can play safely. The service was good; you might have to expect a bit of a wait depending on the occupancy. The food was very wholesome and quite satisfying. It could have been a bit warmer for me—but that's a matter of taste, as we all know.

The first impression: wow! The location is a real highlight. The lovingly designed beer garden invites you to linger, the interior dining area is stylish, charming, and furnished with a great eye for detail. A real investment has been made here – at least in the visual aspect. All the more disappointing, then, is what ends up on the plates. The food is – with all due respect – a bitter disappointment. Carelessly prepared, the taste is bland to questionable, and the quality is at best cafeteria-level. I would have expected much more from a restaurant that presents itself in such an appealing ambiance. What remains is the feeling of a missed opportunity. So much could be done here – with a cuisine that even comes close to meeting the high standards of the surrounding area, this place could be a real insider tip. Instead, you leave with a disappointed palate and the impression that the potential has been left hanging at the kitchen door. Conclusion: If you're just stopping by for a drink in a pleasant atmosphere, you won't be disappointed. However, if you value good food, you should lower your expectations considerably – or better yet, eat somewhere else.

Suba Laden…suba Kellner (lütfi)

Upon arrival, the staff ignores you unless you're following someone directly. Drinks listed on the menu aren't available (on a Friday night). At some point, you finally get the idea to go shopping... The food was served before the drinks even arrived. I ordered the wrong food, and they don't accommodate any food intolerances. And last but not least, I was overcharged. The food was okay for a beer garden, and the ambiance was nice. Parking is also good (parking tickets can be validated). All in all, we were very disappointed. What a shame.

Nice beer garden, service is hit or miss. It always depends on the area of the beer garden and how motivated the waiters are.

A very nice beer garden—a piece of Würzburg's cultural heritage. The food is good, and the beer is even better. Not to mention the very friendly and attentive staff. Always a pleasure!

I think the operators' expectations are significantly higher than reality. The price is simply too high for direct marketing of beer. The same applies to the food. But the service was absolutely abysmal. We probably just had bad luck with our waiter. 🤷 But if I have to wait 30 minutes for a beer, he can't even maintain eye contact with his customers, and I have to order from my colleagues only to get the wrong beer, then this is simply not worthy of a beer garden. I won't be coming back anytime soon. What a shame.

Once again, I was at the Hofbräu beer garden. The cheese spaetzle was an absolute disaster. The service could have been better. What I have to say is, why aren't the owners taking action? The ambiance is absolutely fantastic. Why doesn't the investor/manager see this? There's potential. One can only wish that things will get better.

Beautiful garden. We had to wait a long time for service even though it wasn't busy. We had to speak to three people before we got the bill. We didn't feel welcome as guests. It's a real shame.

Mega beautiful, mega delicious food, perfect parking, that makes life beautiful, keep it up!!

Yesterday, June 20, 2025, at 4:50 p.m., we wanted to try the Hofbräukeller again, as the previous owner, Henke, only served lukewarm beer. Well, about seven employees, probably minimum wage earners, just stared at us disinterestedly; no one came to us. We left this impossible beer garden, thirsty, at 5:10 p.m., even though it wasn't very busy.

Eight of us went for dinner in the evening. First, a positive: The place is really nice, the drinks were delicious, from the homemade lemonade to the beer and the Sarti Spritz. Furthermore, the main server was always attentive and friendly. The food, however, was very disappointing. I should have read the reviews beforehand, because I can only agree with the criticisms. The chicken seems to be a frozen industrial product. In any case, the breading is high. It was evidently prepared well in advance and kept warm, as it was very dry on the outside. It also had that rancid taste that develops when you heat fat to a high temperature for frying and then leave it at low heat for a long time. Overall, most of the dishes were lukewarm. Unfortunately, the salad was very soggy. We sent back two dishes. Even though we only took a few bites, they told us that we shouldn't have eaten any of the food if it wasn't good. The complaint was therefore unacceptable. I understand the point, considering half of it was already gone. But in fact, there was still well over three-quarters of the portion left on the plate. Another argument was that the chicken and salad were often ordered and usually not complained about. In the end, we were given a drink—one drink in total for two meals. This meant that we had to order something else to eat later elsewhere. I would have much preferred the criticism to have been received more positively. I understand that you have to develop and test suitable concepts first. But I should always be open to honest criticism. A chicken like that and lukewarm, slightly rotten salad can be a health risk. That's a shame, because the location is so beautiful and offers so much potential. Conclusion: only great for a beer. The food, not so much. Unless the quality of the food isn't that important to you.

A very nice old beer garden under new management. Super friendly service and good food! Unfortunately, there's no real playground anymore, just a sandpit. There used to be a huge climbing frame.

The food is great! There are no play areas or anything like that for the little ones.

I ate there for the third time yesterday, and unfortunately, I've noticed that the food gets worse each time. Yesterday I had the crispy Backhändl (baked pork belly), which was unfortunately very bad. The breading tasted reheated and sticky. I asked the waiter about it, but there was no response. It's a shame, I really liked it at first.

Five of us came here for dinner yesterday. The food was good to very good. Our marina was excellent, the best service ever. We'll be back 👍

A beautiful, large beer garden, somewhat off the beaten track, with very good food. Found it on a city trip to Würzburg. Service was very friendly. Great food. I can recommend it anytime. Would come back anytime.👍😄

Very nice facility; prompt, friendly, and attentive service; fair prices; the food was delicious overall; we're happy to be open again and would love to come back.

Yes, we can recommend this beer garden with a clear conscience 💯 percent. The food was delicious, the Moroccan waiter with excellent German was very friendly and competent, and the apple strudel was delicious. Thank you, we'll be happy to come back.

Hello Hofbräuhaus bosses I would have loved to stop by today, but unfortunately, the place isn't inviting. The first impression is just not great.

Unfortunately zero points. Reserved for 10 people. Waited 10 minutes at the entrance until we were brought to our table. After 15 minutes at the table a card arrived. No drinks were initially included. Eating took an hour and a half. While we were waiting, the service ignored us to be on the safe side. Could anyone complain? Food only came when asked. Waiter's note: We should have ordered appetizers too. Great statement. The food was lukewarm and had probably been served for a while. But we were already too hungry to send us back to the kitchen. Taste was ok, might have been better hot. The sauce was heavily helped with flavor enhancers. There was actually nothing to complain about about the beer! But we didn't manage to order more than two drinks in 2.5 hours. Went home thirsty and disappointed

Unfortunately the food was a disaster. Fried chicken is on the menu and has nothing to do with it. They are two breaded, thawed chicken schnitzels from the freezer and are still soggy. After 50 waits. The baked trout is breaded? and has nothing to do with baking. Ready-made food without taste. The conditions themselves made me feel sorry for having to represent something like that and got a tip. No recommendation!

Today we finally went to the Hofbräu again after a long absence. The food came quickly, there was nothing to complain about (except that there is no longer any wedding food 😉) The food was plentiful and reasonably priced. The service was great, very nice and quick. Gladly again. The music was a bit annoying at first, but you get used to it. Gladly again

Very nice evening and very good food. Thanks to David for the service

David the best of all. Very nice and professional.

Incredibly beautiful evening. David best waiter. Very nice serve. Always my pleasure

Sorry, but your food is way too expensive!!!

Four of us went to the newly opened beer garden yesterday. After half an hour at the table, still no drink, there was only 1 menu for 4 people and when I asked for a few more, nothing came at all! After more than half an hour we left the restaurant thirstier and hungrier than when we arrived. What a shame! The service needs to be much better!

Nice beer garden, but prices are steep and food is mediocre. The Schupfnudel pan was very oily and half cold, the portion of fries was also quite greasy and soggy. The service could also be improved a lot.

Hello, we are currently here for dinner. Please form your own opinion. Unfortunately I couldn't upload the picture here. A ridiculous portion of two thin slices of roast. Price €15.90

Staff friendly, you have to wait a long time for the food (we waited 2 hours for the food) the temperature of the food was too cold. You should ask for the invoice when you receive it and check it.

We went for dinner with a small group. The food we ordered was cold and the manager then said that the spaetzle is always served cold. We sent 7 out of 10 meals back to the kitchen. The managing director was really angry

It has become incredibly beautiful, an oasis of well-being, one of the most beautiful beer gardens in Bavaria

Very nice beer garden, with comfortable chairs. We ordered four meals, three of which tasted quite good. However, when I order a fried chicken, I understand half a breaded chicken. However, an unidentifiable chicken schnitzel arrived, which was more breading than meat. What a shame!

Yesterday we went to the newly opened Hofbräubiergarten in Würzburg and were really excited. A super nice, quick service (thanks to Marina) and again a very nice atmosphere inside and outside. The food was very good, price/performance ok. We really liked the beer board with 5 small beer samples and the beer recommendations for the meal. Absolutely recommended - we will definitely be back.

We went to the Würzburger Hofbräu as a couple at the beginning of April 2025. We were told there was now a new beginning with a new tenant. All we can say is keep it up. We felt very comfortable. Fast, friendly and well organized. If you read the previous comments from guests and the answers from the former management, there is no sign of the bad mood anymore. We wish you much success and keep it up.

Dear Würzburger Hofbräu beer garden team. Please! Lock up now, do the renovation work in the restaurant in peace and open again next spring 2025 with good staff and decent cuisine. This means you are better off than keeping the beer garden open with bad food, for better or for worse. I recommend that the tenant take the criticism of his guests seriously and not to put a more or less offended-sounding comment under almost every bad review, but rather to take the increasing criticism from the guests about the food seriously. The guests will thank you.

The Würzburger Hofbräu hasn't done itself any favors with its new tenants. There is no service there; you have to pick up your own food and drinks. The employees who prepared the food were friendly, but visibly overwhelmed and didn't speak any German, which made ordering much more difficult. The schnitzel was clearly a frozen product and was prepared right in front of you in a snack bar. In addition, it was not cooked properly, the salad was unwashed and full of sand. We used to come here often with the whole family, but with the new tenants - never again. It was the worst meal I've ever had in my life.

We were seriously disappointed in what was supposed to be the most beautiful beer garden in Würzburg. The steak was as small and thin as the sole of a child's shoe. When I asked if there was something bigger, the answer was "they're all like that". There are no beer mats to cover your mug with because of wasps or other creatures. Price performance for self-service is very high. The playground is just a pile of old sand. Complained again at the checkout when leaving, it was just acknowledged. So never again.

Rustic atmosphere. Friendly service. 😃

Huge restaurant, very nicely decorated and very well attended. Food came to the table too quickly for me

Self-service beautiful beer garden with a great view :)

Good beer and the food is also recommended.

Preise für einen Biergarten sehr happig, dreckige Teller etc. von vorherigen Gästen werden über Stunden nicht abgeräumt. Dafür schöner Ort und schöne Aussicht

Tolles Lokal , gutes Essen zu angemessenen Preisen. Freundliches Personal. Grosser Biergarten mit Terrasse und separatem Biertischbereich.

Tolle Biergarten mit fantastischer Aussicht auf den Main und Festung.

Ist voll die Tradition. Zudem Preise OK, Service klasse, Essen große Auswahl und echt gut.

Sehr schmackhaftes Essen in etwas unruhiger Umgebung und hektischer Bedienung. Das Krüstchen war top, wie man es erwartet. Die Haxe ist wirklich nur mit großem Hunger zu schaffen.

Een ster voor de ligging en eentje voor de radler. Voor de rest triestig.

Pyszne jedzenie i lemoniada borówkowa 👍🫐

Good beer. Food is okay. Ambience is great and the prices are reasonable

Leckeres Radler, zweckmäßige Biergarten, günstiger Wein, Selbstbedienung, Nähe zum Main und zu den Parkplätze, Nähe Innenstadt

Optischer schöner Biergarten. Leider kann ich nichts zum Essen und Service sagen da trotz schönstem Wetter an einem Sonntagnachmittag nur 1/3 der möglichen Plätze freigegeben waren.

Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, das Servicepersonal kann man nur loben, Das Essen war für die Preise ok ist aber denke ich Geschmackssache.

Sehr gute Essen und sehr gemütlich.

Super Essen, freundlicher Kontakt, schöne Lage und gute Preise. :)

Essen war gut, Service könnte etwas besser organisiert und freundlicher sein. Getränke lecker

Einwandfrei. Schöner Biergarten.

Typical Bavarian Beer Garden with views of Wurzburg. Order at the stand and give table number for the food to be delivered. The Schäufele (Regional specialty- Pork Shoulder) was huge!

Top Service, Speisen und Trank Sehr große Portionen - vor allem die Haxe :) Lecker Bier

Sehr schöner Biergarten. Leider sind die Speisen für die Eher mindere Qualität zu teuer. Der service könnte ebenfalls etwas freundlicher sein. Aber wie schon erwähnt ist die Location sehr schön.

Preis Leistung nicht passend. Mini Portionen zu überteuerten Preisen. Welker Salat. Mini Knödeln in Golfballgröße. Bei meiner essensbringung schüttete der Kellner mir den Sud von der Bratwurst direkt auf die Hose. Entschuldigung kam keine. Personal bis auf 2 Kellnerinen und einen Kellner nicht professionell (Zigaretten rauchen vor Gäste geht garnicht). Diese Örtlichkeit kann ich nicht empfehlen! PS: Arbeite selber in der Gastronomie

Freundliche Bedienung, angenehmes Ambiente, gutes Essen. Danke.
