Zentrale Mannheim in Mannheim

Rustic and cozy, with a delicious (and large) schnitzel

Central always works, food is ok, nothing great, but price/performance is right

We had 7 meals here. The food was good for a pub/restaurant. The portions were very large. It's just tavern cuisine. The atmosphere is a bit old-fashioned and rustic. However, our service was awesome. It's rare to experience such fun and joy at work. A very big compliment here

Classic pub with tradition, good food and friendly service.

Very tasty food, good portions, great prices and exceptionally friendly service.

If I could give negative stars I would give -5. I waited 45 minutes for my food while all of my other people had already had their food. It was then completely overcooked. The supplements were swapped. The salad was drenched in balsamic dressing. The service was very unfriendly. And it was very cold in the restaurant.

Indispensable in the center of Mannheim for 50 years.

Clocky pub Bourgeois cuisine Food is definitely recommended The waitress “Alex” was also very nice Really great value for money 7 stars

I love the rustic atmosphere and the good food. You can spend your time very well here. The service is also impeccable. Above all, the waitress named Alex brightens up your visit.

We can only recommend it! The The service is really first class (props to the waitress Alex). The food is typical German cuisine, was prepared quickly and tasted great. Are very happy!

Very nice location with reasonable prices for Mannheim. Large portions that tasted convincing. Staff very friendly.

I've been going to the inn for a long time and I have to honestly say that Maria is my favorite. She always makes my Sunday beautiful! Great service and food! Greetings Alexander

Good food, fast and friendly service, pleasantly warm restaurant in winter

Solid home-style food at an affordable price. Pleasant, unpretentious service

We go there regularly because it's great overall!

Unfortunately, very poor communication.... came especially today because according to the website it was open, then you found yourself in front of a locked door

Very tasty food. Staff was very nice. Price/performance very good. Highly recommended.

Very quaint restaurant. This is our second time here and we can only recommend it. The food is very tasty, they have a large selection and the price-performance ratio is TOP. The staff is very friendly.

The headquarters has been around for ages, it is still going strong and is well attended. Inside it is very quaint and cozy. There are mainly seating areas. I think it's great. The food is delicious and the waitresses are attentive. Great, highly recommended.

Great restaurant in downtown Mannheim. I was there 50 years ago and the atmosphere is still very good. I go there several times a year, sometimes to meet up with old friends and sometimes with my wife.

Actually a great place. Unfortunately the draft beer is a disaster.

Quaint restaurant with very good food, great staff and reasonable prices. I always enjoy coming here when I'm in Mannheim. Unreservedly recommended.

I've eaten better tarte flambée, unfortunately this one was very salty. The salad was very soggy and the dressing just wasn't to my taste. The ambience is very old and the noise level is very loud. The service was very friendly.

Friendly staff, delicious food, sweetly decorated. Very nice to spend time in a small group.

The food used to be better, sometimes there are little things that are noticeable when you're a regular, but you can live with them

The Zentrale restaurant is always a great experience for me when I go shopping from Landau to Mannheim. I've been coming here for decades and have never regretted it. The daily menu always includes attractive and inexpensive dishes. The fact that it tastes really good just makes my day better! Compliments to the kitchen! Classic home-style dishes are particularly well prepared! And you obviously don't jump on the bandwagon that drives up the price spiral! Respect! Other businesses also benefit from you! Because when you feel good, shopping is really fun!!!

- fair prices - Card payment possible - narrow tables but cozy

Traditional German cuisine. Everything tastes very good. Large portions. Great and rustic atmosphere in the middle of Mannheim. Absolutely recommended.

It's unbelievable to serve raw Cordon Bleus and then charge full price. After complaining, the plates along with the fries and salad were taken away to show the raw schnitzel to the cook. He said the schnitzels weren't raw and we had to pay the full price. We didn't get the plates with the other half of the food back, the waitress told us very rudely that we didn't want that and that she had now left it at the bar and we neither got the food back nor a replacement.

Meine sonstige überaus lobende Kritik zum Gasthaus Zentrale und seinem überaus freundlichen Servicepersonal kennt, indem ich seit mehreren Jahrzehnten Stammgast bin und für ungezählte weitere Stammgäste gesagt habe, kann sich denken, wie viel es an Inkompetenz und zusätzlicher Unverschämtheit benötigt, um mich derart zu empören! Zum zweiten Mal hatte ich nun das Pech, bei einem "Kevin" zu landen, der mir auch prompt zum ZWEITEN MAL nicht das zum Abholen bestellte Essen vorsetzte. Statt diesen Fehler korrekt zu beheben, wurde er auch dieses Mal wieder zusätzlich patzig. Ich habe auch dieses Mal das Essen bezahlt und unberührt stehen lassen. Werde mir und meinen Freunden in Zukunft eine Alternative suchen müssen, wenn ich Sonntagabend einfach das Bestellte essen- und mich nicht auch noch obendrein von einem unqualifizierten und dazu unverschämten Kevin für sein eigenes Unvermögen rotzfrech anmachen lassen möchte! Echt schade! Denn das Essen, wenn es das richtige ist, ist gut und alle anderen Mitarbeiter*innen sind ausgesprochen nett und engagiert!

Ordered two Holztein schnitzels and dessert of banana split and hot love. It was very tasty, we really enjoyed it there.

Typically German food. Very 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 good. Good prices.

Price performance is right, staff have a lot to do

Super delicious!!! Price performance top!! The only thing I don't like is that it's so dark, but that's a matter of taste. It is very rustic but has its charm

Price/performance was top! Very large portions and really fair prices. Can highly recommend the tarte flambée :)

Top restaurant. Great prices and delicious food. Always recommended.

We had just landed in Mannheim with the children and were given a great welcome. Service worker Alex was extremely friendly and customer-oriented. Alex gave us perfect advice and gave us a lovely evening. Thank you very much!. The food was very tasty. Spaetzle and apple strudel are awesome. Gladly again. Tip top.

Delicious food (Holstein schnitzel), super nice and friendly service and moderate prices. Definitely recommended!

In summer you can sit outside here nicely. Food is good and prices are moderate.

The evening started with the waitress not knowing what a Helles was. The food was okay for the price. When we finally ordered a wreath, it was moldy on the inside. After pointing this out to the waitress we were lied to and told it was wet paper. Not a hint of an apology. And when you ask if you can pay by card, you only get a mushy response: “What have I actually done to you?” Addendum: After more than a year I was back at headquarters. This time the service was very friendly and special requests regarding the composition of the meal were also possible without any problems. But the food is still just okay. This time the wreath wasn't moldy on the inside!

It was the first time that the waiter insisted on tipping while I didn't really feel that it was earned in any way. The schnitzel had a strange taste, I don't know if they use used oil or the ingriedients were off, but definitely I'm not going to come there second time.

The food was decent, but I‘m sure I could have cooked something much tastier at home and the price wasn’t low either. Waitress was quite rude and basically forced us to leave tips by asking „How much would you like to tip?“. Not coming back.

Received raw cordon bleu in the middle, when I got to the middle I noticed it and wanted to have it sent back. The waitress came back without the food and said we had to pay, but didn't even bring the food we had started more back. Also said that the chef can't cut out the raw stuff so I should have eaten it that way or complained from the start. I only saw in the middle that it was raw. No solution was provided, food was taken away (half the Cordon Bleu and a pile of fries) and we had to pay. Was the case with 2 Cordon Bleus. An outrage.

In der Mitte rohes Cordon Bleu erhalten, bei der Mitte angekommen habe ich es gemerkt und wollte es zurückschicken lassen. Die Bedienung kommt ohne das Essen zurück und sagte wir müssen das Zahlen, brachte aber das angefangene Essen nicht mal mehr zurück. Sagte auch, dass der Koch nicht das rohe rausschneiden kann also hätte ich das so essen sollen oder vom Anfang an reklamieren. Dabei habe ich erst in der Mitte gesehen dass es roh ist. Keine Lösung gebracht, Essen weggenommen (das halbe Cordon Bleu und ein Haufen Pommes) und wir sollen das Zahlen. War bei 2 Cordon Bleus der Fall. Eine Unverschämtheit.

Went there for dinner for the first time today and it was very good. Service was very friendly. We'll go back again 👍👍👍

This is a quaint pub with a certain charm. The waitresses are incredibly friendly and really attentive. The food was fantastic and freshly prepared. Very clear recommendation. Price performance is top! 😊

Flotter, freundlicher Service. Das Essen, billigste Ware von Nicht-Köchen auf den Teller gebracht. Zum Biertrinken gerne aber etwas essen………

We had a wonderfully relaxed evening with very good food, extremely friendly staff... Memories come back from decades ago 😍😍😍 and the price-performance ratio is unbeatable

Always very good. Delicious food and friendly service

Super nice service. Food was also very good 👍

No problem accommodating a group of 9 people! Good food, good beer. Attentive, friendly service.

Is to be recommended. Food very good, service friendly. Will come back.

By far the best salad I've ever eaten! That's why I like to drive the 80km👌🏼

Hvis man gerne vil spise tysk mad, er mulighederne ikke mange i Mannheim. Vi fandt dette sted i første omgang for at få en øl, men menukortet så godt ud, så vi besluttede os for at vende tilbage for at spise. God og professionel betjening og veltillavet mad. Hyggelig atmosfære både ude og inde.

OMG what was that today? We sat inside because everything outside was full. Pleasant actually. But the obviously annoyed and completely exhausted staff snapped at each other the whole time. Guests sitting outside were also given strange names. When the bar was busted because the kitchen staff asked for water, I lost my faith. Unprofessional, insulting, simply impossible. So it won't work with employee loyalty. To eat, sausage salad with fries. So far ok if you like hard and cold fries. Today my companion was also really disappointed and found the pizza to be sold get used to.

Food and service was good to very good. The ambience is reminiscent of a good inn, which has its own charm. I was happy with everything, there is room for improvement, but I can still recommend the restaurant.

Super chic restaurant, very good food, highly recommended, would like to eat there again.

Great location, delicious food, service Alex super attentive and very friendly

You definitely have to use Alex's service during your visit. A very nice, attentive service person. Really on the ball! Nice to sit outside, nice atmosphere.

Food was ok, service was nice and friendly. You can sit outside

Nice beer garden, friendly staff.

Were there for lunch. Fast service because there were enough employees on site. Food came quickly and tasted good.

Hallo liebe Personal von zentral Ich habe 2 Jahre am Stück gearbeitet Für jetzt 1 Jahre, ich bin Stammgäste Trinke 5 Tag pro Woche meine Feierabend Bier und lass meine trinke Geld Komm fast 2 pro Woche essen mit meiner Tochter, obwohl das Essen schmeckt nicht immer gut Baspiele,1 Rindwurst mit Sauce und 2 Scheiben Brot. 9,90€ 👌 Heute ist Dienstag,komm ich um 21 Uhr, meine Feierabend Bier trinken. Ich bin einfach von die Bedienung weg gegangen Gibt eine neue Gesetz Gibt keine Tisch frei nach 21 Uhr Ich verstehe die Gesetze nicht Aber gut, ich war in stark Kaffee meine Bier trinken 👍

Nice beer garden in a good, central location. Everyone should find something on the menu. Prices for food and drink are absolutely reasonable.

Since when is smoking allowed here? Were surrounded by vapes and e-shishas all evening... Update: They got it under control, everything is fine again 😊

Nice, traditional restaurant with lots of tables to sit outside. Good food, friendly service. Great price/performance ratio!

Not recommended, wrong dish twice, one was cold. Glasses with lipstick. The service person doesn't speak clearly and you have to ask for everything. To top it off, it was charged twice. Either a very bad day or a change of ownership. No comparison to before.

Food was very good, service was rather bad-tempered.

Pizza tasted like my Aldi pizzas that I buy every day. Thanks for that but I can eat it at home for 3 euros. Never again

We were eating this afternoon when we asked for the bill and when we gave a tip (two euros which we had in cash), the lady who served us accused us of saying it was a small amount of money Since there were five of us there, we should give at least five euros. Of course we refused and told him that tipping was voluntary. We found it disrespectful and shameless. We will never return to this restaurant nor do we recommend it (the fries appeared to be warmed up).

As always, very good home cooking, vegetarian, etc., delicious, very good value for money, nice service, central location, always recommended for visitors and tourists, thank you that there are still places like this in Mannheim

Were here as a couple on a Friday evening. We quickly found a smoke-free place outside. Service came quickly, food then separated and we had to ask again. Then the second one came quickly and the special request was also fulfilled. Can recommend the pizza! Wine glasses were well filled. The menu is fine, there should be something for everyone. Good prices. Guests are chilled and friendly. Cash and debit card possible. Ladies toilet clean but stuffy. I felt comfortable and would come again and again!

Always good. In addition to the à la carte dishes, there are 4 dishes for lunch that change daily. 8/23: There have been general improvements, the menu has been adjusted and the prices have been increased.

Good home-style restaurant in the heart of the city. It's all ok. Friendly service. Delicious food. Cold beer. Gladly again.

Always there if you want to eat a good schnitzel! Large portion, beer always fresh and the fact that you can eat outside is a very positive point! A few stars less for the service because sometimes the adult waiters get a little too annoyed. Completely understandable, but it has happened to me once that I left the table without ordering because of this. Position 10+, middle of the city!

Old-established restaurant with authentic dishes, at fair prices

Very, very tasty rump steak with baked potatoes. Very nice and attentive staff without being intrusive. Clear recommendation!

Very friendly staff who even served us quickly. The turkey schnitzel and the lumberjack steak were really good. 👌 Unfortunately, we were all neglected inside. We waited almost 45 minutes for our bill. There's a lot going on outside at the moment because of the European Championships (broadcasting the games and showing them), but that's why you could hire more people who are extra for the football fans and someone who generally serves inside. However, I find this to be an exception. We were very happy with the food and the price, actually surprised. That's why we're happy to come back and who knows, maybe someone will be responsible for the interior.

We've been coming here for years. Very good as always, food and service top ⭐️

Very good cuisine, delicious schnitzel, highly recommended. Very humane prices.

We were looking forward to eating at this restaurant, but our experience was less than pleasant. As soon as we entered the restaurant we were treated extremely disrespectfully by the service person with blue hair. She was rude and made us feel like we weren't welcome here. Your snide comments and generally unfriendly tone ruined our lunch. We were looking forward to a nice meal, but because of this shocking experience we will avoid this restaurant in the future and definitely won't recommend it to others. No one should have to experience such treatment.

The new waitress with the blue hair was super rude, never experienced such audacity!!!

The service with the blue hair was extremely rude! Never been treated as badly as there! Have eaten here several times but after today I won't be coming back. I wanted to eat something with friends and unfortunately we sat in the wrong place at first (unfortunately we didn't know any better). Instead of politely and discreetly pointing this out to us, she didn't even think it was necessary to come to our table and just called out to us from a distance: "You know that you're not sitting in the service area, that's obvious." Then she moved us and instead She comes to the table to bring us a card and says in an annoyed and sulky way, “You already know what you want to eat.” When we said no, since we didn't even have a card at the time, she just rolled her eyes and ran away. We then left the restaurant because of course you don't want to surround yourself with such a rude manner.

Recommended, as always! We're happy to be there. Price-performance ratio is simply TOP. We've been coming here for years. Fast service, comfortable outdoor seating, food always takes a while, which means it is freshly prepared. 👍👍👍

Top location, definitely for schnitzel lovers. I tried the Holsteiner Schnitzel and loved it, the service was very good, and even though I usually don't have much to do with restaurants, I'll definitely come back when I'm in town

Always great to eat at the headquarters!

Solid restaurant, very friendly staff, not a long waiting time

Cozy restaurant with a huge, super nice bartender

We were there yesterday. Outdoor area totally full. Nevertheless, service was quick. Staff friendly. We ordered sausage salad with fries. Portions large, sausage salad delicious. The only thing I have to complain about is that the menu said strips of Lyonnais, peppers and onions. Nothing about pickles. That's why I decided to do it. And when the food came there were cucumbers in it that I had to fish out.

Really delicious, cheap 🤏food. Good ambience, rustic. Have been here several times now and always very satisfied. Super fast 👌 service. In the kitchen, the schnitzels are beaten by hand. You can always sit outside in summer. 👍

Zünftige Kneipe mit sehr gutem, gut bürgerlichen Essen und schön gezapften Pils. Super ist die Musik aus den 80ern die dort gespielt wird: Rock, New Wave. Laden sehr gut besucht, alle Altersklassen. Und die Preise sind wirklich günstig

Bad service, taking the bad mood out on the customer

You can reach the global food and you can see diverse cultures on the street

We go there a lot in the summer. Enjoy the sun outside with a cold drink, good food and you'll definitely be full. Unfortunately, due to a lack of staff, the tables outside are closed from time to time. Even when all hell breaks loose, the staff tries hard and remains friendly! The food is really tasty, good portions for a humane price!

Staff overwhelmed and not friendly. Food wasn't warm and wasn't tasty for me, food only came after 1 hour

Students not welcome On a Wednesday evening we came to the pub with a group of students to chat in a relaxed atmosphere over beer and a portion of fries. With the information that there were only three free tables left, we were asked to either order a main course each or to leave.

It always tastes really perfect. I have enjoyed going there again and again for many, many years.

Great pub! The food tastes absolutely delicious, the music is great👍 Just as an example: the side salad would be a main course salad in our restaurants (Bavaria) and would cost at least twice as much! 10 thumbs up👍👍👍👍

I would have posted a photo if I hadn't completely cleared my plate, even though I was full halfway through. Delicious and nice staff.

Still a lovely old pub with flair
