Zum Fehmelbauer - Udo Vollert in Karlstadt

Today, five of us stopped at the "Zum Fehmelbauer" restaurant during our motorcycle tour. When we arrived, the restaurant was full. A waitress informed us that another group was just leaving and that we should wait a moment. We did so, and just five minutes later, we were invited inside and shown to our seats, which had already been set. After a short while, our orders were taken, and drinks and food were served promptly by the consistently friendly and attentive staff. We were able to enjoy excellent food (my pepper loins were divine, as was the liver dumpling soup) in a wonderful atmosphere. The food is reasonably priced in the truest sense of the word. All in all, a restaurant where hospitality, service, and good taste are paramount. We will definitely return and felt welcome and comfortable from the first moment to the last. Thank you for this great service.

A spontaneous visit with our motorcycle group; even without a reservation, the five of us had a very good meal there. The value for money was excellent.

Delicious Franconian dishes at fair prices (main courses under €20), as well as very friendly and fast service despite the restaurant being full. Highly recommended.

We arrived a little early, but were still warmly welcomed, and the food was delicious and plentiful. Very child-friendly. Definitely recommended!

Incredibly delicious food. The best rump steak I've had in a long time, absolutely top-notch. Friendly service, all around perfect.

Nice restaurant in the pedestrian zone, very friendly service staff, we had a very good meal.

Franconian cuisine as it should be. We'd love to come back.

I spontaneously reserved a table online for two people for dinner on Thursday morning. I was very curious to see if it would work out, as I'd never done it before...but the confirmation email arrived within a very short time. Our food was delicious, and it was no problem at all to change the order. The service was very nice and friendly. They repeatedly asked if everything was OK. Overall, we were very satisfied.

The food was delicious and very good; the portions were a bit larger, but manageable if you're hungry. Friendly service rounded everything off.

Very good food, family atmosphere, great service. Highly recommended, we'd love to come back!

A first-class, unique, and excellent restaurant – a top address in the entire area, worth even the long drive. The food is outstanding and of high quality. The tenderloin is delicious, but the "Herrenschnitzel" is also a special insider tip. The service is friendly, the atmosphere rustic and cozy. We always enjoy going here.

Very nice ambiance, excellent value for money. Very friendly, attentive service. Highly recommended.

A very pleasant atmosphere. Delicious food at a fair price. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Whether it's just the two of you or a large group, the restaurant offers the right space. (Reservations are required, of course.) I've been there many times and will be happy to return again and again. Many thanks to the entire team

We felt very comfortable. The breakfast was plentiful. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel has an unbeatable ambiance. The mattress was much too soft for me, but the bed could be electronically adjusted to any position.

A good Franconian restaurant in the heart of the old town. Friendly service, impeccable food, and fair prices.

We were there with a tour group. From the food to the service, everything was perfect. It couldn't be better. Kudos to the entire team.

We didn't stay overnight, but we had a great meal and a great drink outside. The staff was very friendly and relaxed. The recommendation for the Tafelspitz was perfect. The food was plentiful and delicious. The value for money is also good for us. We'll be happy to return if we're in the area again.

Super delicious restaurant:) nice staff

Very nice restaurant, with very good food

Sunday lunchtime, there's still plenty of space outside, and less than half the tables are occupied. If you're traveling alone without a reservation, you'll be turned away because the kitchen will be overloaded otherwise. Ridiculous!

The two of us had dinner at the Fehmel, and it was absolutely excellent. Super delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, and very attentive service. Since we're from Karlstadt and the surrounding area, we didn't need a room, so we can't write a review for it.

If you've ever wanted to live in a medieval house, this is the perfect place. Everything has been beautifully renovated without destroying the original structure. Even the windows are original; a second window was simply installed on the inside for insulation.

Absolutely recommended. Food, service, friendliness, ambiance – highly recommended.

We happened upon Karlstadt on our trip and were looking for a restaurant serving Franconian dishes. We received a warm welcome. The food arrived promptly and was very tasty. We rounded off the beautiful day with a delicious glass of wine and beer.

We were there for lunch today, found a seat, waited 20 minutes, and when we asked to order, we were rather rudely told that we couldn't get anything to eat because the kitchen was overloaded. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the food. Truly mediocre service.

Exceptional!!! The best pepper loins I've ever eaten 🙌🏼 The quality of the meat, the way the loin was sliced ​​and seared, with a little cracked pepper on top, and the perfect sauce and delicious fries – it couldn't be better!!! 🥳 Thank you for this great meal! I'd love to come back. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture.

“Great food, super service, and a cozy atmosphere—highly recommended!”

We ate at the restaurant. It was delicious and excellent value for money! The service was super friendly and very accommodating!

We booked this hotel for one night six months ago. On the day of our arrival, the reservation was canceled due to overcrowding and rebooked to another hotel. The additional costs were not reimbursed, and emails were simply not answered.

Great food. Huge portions. Super delicious.

We've been coming here for dinner for years when we're on vacation. The food is simply amazing.

Very friendly and attentive service. The food, especially the rump steak, was delicious.

We had Schäufele with Klos, it was simply delicious.

A very well-organized, small, clean hotel with a competent manager and friendly, attentive, and hard-working staff. We were a cycling group of nine, and everyone was extremely satisfied. The meal in the quaint restaurant was quick and absolutely excellent. A unique experience so far was that hotel owner Udo led us on part of a tour as our guide. I highly recommend this hotel; it has charm, and everything just fits together.

We ate there with our dog on July 17, 2025, and were not disappointed by the food, the service, or the friendliness of the staff. Three different schnitzels. Price for two plus one 0.4 oz Coke and one 0.5 oz wheat beer: €46. We left this lovely, rustic restaurant full and satisfied.

Super fast, super friendly, super good.

Damn fast, super attentive, delicious, please keep it up. We'll be back.

A stylish Bavarian restaurant with a variety of food and drinks. The medium steak was excellent! The beer and cherry water were delicious. The atmosphere was great. The service was friendly but not overbearing. Clean, pleasant, and tasty.

We were only there for dinner and can't rate the rooms. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and courteous. The food arrived quickly, and we were offered some extra sauce (if needed). Definitely recommended. Absolutely excellent value for money.

The decor and ambiance inspired me greatly. The icing on the cake was the fantastic food. I highly recommend this inn, and anyone vacationing in Karlstadt should definitely stop by. The service and staff are very friendly. So, dear vacationers or travelers, it's definitely worth a stop.

Very tasty food and good service. Prices match!

Yes, this restaurant is definitely recommended. The Schäufele (pork shoulder) is especially amazing. We've been making a special stop for several years now, sometimes even making a detour, to enjoy a Schäufele (pork shoulder) at Fehmelbauer. We'll be back, thank you.

Nice ambience, great food and very friendly service - we will be back

A great little hotel with a super friendly service team. We stayed overnight and had dinner that evening. The food was all delicious. The service was super friendly and always had a friendly remark. The hotel was very nice – the rooms were lovely and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast was also very well prepared. Nothing was missing.

Yes, good home cooking, nice service staff

A great host, good food, I am more than satisfied as a hotel guest, thank you Udo for your efforts. Greetings from the cycling group from Duisburg

Wonderful food, friendly staff. Everything was perfect... and the blackberry schnapps after the meal was wonderful. We'll definitely be back. Greetings from near Kassel.

Very tasty shoulder of pork, very friendly and attentive service. A wonderful and lovingly prepared breakfast. Very friendly staff. The room was very small but okay.

A beautiful, well-maintained, and clean hotel with a family atmosphere. We had a great and very clean family room with a view of the castle. The staff is very helpful and extremely friendly. We immediately felt at home. The breakfast is delicious, with something for everyone, and the food in the restaurant was also truly tasty. Everything was freshly prepared, both in terms of flavor and quality. The portions were generous, and the price was very reasonable. You can tell that everything is still made with love here, and Udo also told us a lot of interesting things about Karlstadt. The final highlight was the fountain. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty food. Plenty of it. No long wait times. Very attentive staff. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend it. It's the best restaurant in Karlstadt. The taste, price, and portions are all just right.

A very quaint and cozy restaurant with a great regional menu. The service is very good, fast, and very friendly. The food was absolutely world-class; we were there with a group; everything came together and was very, very tasty. Highly recommended. There's a cozy beer garden in front of the restaurant, right in the middle of town.

We stayed here with our bowling group over the Whitsun weekend. Small but nice and clean rooms. A quaint restaurant and side room in the former cowshed. Delicious food and extremely friendly and attentive staff. A nice owner who always has a few tips ready.

"The Franconian grows up with Schäufele and Kloß"

We stopped here on our bike tour. The food and accommodation were great; we'd love to come back.

Located right in the old town of Karlstadt. Very friendly and attentive service. We even managed to get a table for two on a Saturday evening.

The food was delicious 😋 Fast and friendly service We'll be back

The food was wonderful. The service was friendly and efficient! The location was beautiful! Everything was perfect.

Very good food, very friendly and attentive service, and fair prices. We'll be back!

We went there for dinner and were thrilled.

Top holiday apartment - remarkably nice and lovely hosts and the best location. It was a real pleasure! See you soon.

Even though the restaurant was full, we hardly had to wait for our food. The Schäufele was A1👍🏻

One of the few remaining German inns. House from the 16th century with tradition and history. Cozy atmosphere and see, very nice hosts.

We stayed there overnight on our bike tour. Very friendly staff, the likes of which you rarely find today. The food was very good with a lot of choice at fair prices. After breakfast we were given a short tour with interesting explanations about the 400-year-old building. We were particularly impressed by the deep well in the middle of the dining room. Despite the age of this building, the rooms are modern and very clean. A clear recommendation for this inn from us.

We were there for dinner, were super satisfied, food, service, everything was great👌🏻 we would love to come back 😊👍🏻

In the middle of the city, delicious food and Very friendly service. We were there Didn't eat there overnight.

Terrific! We visited the restaurant on Sunday at 12 p.m., were warmly greeted at the door and shown to our table. The drinks order was at the table in no time, as was the food. The food! All 5 dishes at the table were superbly prepared and delicious, the rump steak was perfectly medium and tender as butter! The children were treated to a little magic trick with gummy bears and cookies. The interior is rustic, everything is made of wood and lovingly decorated with knick-knacks. Now I know why we had to reserve the table two weeks in advance. We will 100% come back!

Food and service very good Recommended

Great, quaint restaurant! Super nice and attentive staff. Really delicious food! Great ambience! Prices ok! A great tip for a cozy evening with delicious food in Karlstadt!

Visit to a restaurant without an overnight stay. Courteous service, local food, very well prepared & fresh Franconian asparagus.

We went to Fehmelbauer for dinner and had previously used the online reservation at short notice. That worked well, the table was immediately available upon arrival after a very warm welcome. The service was very quick and friendly. The food also came to the table in no time. The portion was very large and rather cheap. The food tasted good, but we added a little bit of seasoning. The rooms and the audience are typically Franconian and homely. If you like it a little quieter and with a lot of distance from the neighboring table, you may not feel 100% comfortable here. The menu had many meat dishes and also interesting vegetarian options (e.g. broccoli nut wedges). There was also an appealing seasonal menu with wild garlic dishes. We are happy to recommend the restaurant.

Good food, first-class service and a cozy atmosphere. The dishes were fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We'll definitely be back!

Cozy restaurant with good food and first-class service in the heart of Karlstadt. Sufficient parking spaces on the Main.

A very nice inn with delicious Franconian food and friendly staff. Reservations are definitely recommended on weekends.

I ate here with my wife in 2022 (summer, outdoor area) We had reserved a table. When I arrived, my military service immediately came back to me... grrhhh The boss sits at a desk in the area of ​​the outside tables. And it sounds loudly all evening long... (To the staff, the guests that the “lying time” = “eating time” would soon have expired.) Gulp! Food was good. Otherwise: 1x is enough!

very good restaurant with great service in a cozy atmosphere

There were three of us there. We had two grilled dishes and a Swabian pan. We haven't eaten this well in a long time. Excellent service, exceptional food, and the price was completely justified... 10 out of 10... all in all, a hit! A successful lunch.

This is a highly recommended restaurant! The French fries were delicious. They were perfectly crispy. However, they could have used more seasoning. The schnitzel was not too tough or too raw, and the breading was nicely crispy. The blackcurrant juice was also delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will be back

We were there for dinner, everything was great, friendly service, very accommodating. The boss himself was also very friendly

A place to feel good. You feel at home here. Very nice host. Food very tasty and the price is reasonable. If our route takes us via Karlstadt again, we will definitely stay and eat here again.

Gladly again at any time… Food and service great Room adequate with everything - fan in the bathroom a bit loud and one or two signs of age. But we slept well and there wasn't much hustle and bustle despite being in the center of town and having a restaurant in the house

Typical Franconian food in a restaurant on Karlstadt's traffic-calmed main street. Delicious Schäufele, schnitzel in different directions and other delicacies quickly come to the table. The restaurant, which used to be a farm, is comfortably furnished. It's a little less romantic in the windowless back room. The service ladies are very friendly. The rooms and breakfast cannot be rated.

I was here for dinner with my son and son-in-law on December 28, 1924. All 3 of us were very satisfied. Everything tasted great, as did the portions, and the service staff was particularly nice and accommodating. General resolution: we will come back the next time my children visit. All the best for 2025 Margot Air

We were there for lunch. The food is simply delicious.

We had dinner with 9 people. Everything was super tasty. Had duck, steak, loin and boiled beef. The meat is a delight. Is highly recommended. The waitresses were very nice and helpful, even for the requested changes to the desserts.

♥️simply a wonderfully preserved old great tavern... a part of Karlstadt's history The building alone is worth a visit, great ambience, staff outstanding in service and friendliness, food like it comes from great-grandma's kitchen, a culinary delight, excellent taste, more than recommended

Very good food, cozy rooms We can only recommend the restaurant

Great and plentiful food! It's a pleasure.

I'm Franconian and I've eaten a lot of Schäufele in my later years. The one from Fehmelbauer definitely belongs in the top 5. The crust is nicely popped, the meat is buttery tender and juicy, the sauce is good and plentiful. That's how it should be. The dumplings were very good, even if I personally missed the “crumbs” in them. From the daily menu, my mother had the goose breast with duchess potatoes. Fried pink as advertised and not dry at all. The skin could perhaps have used a little more crunch. Maybe again just before serving under the salamander? Complaining on a high level, which can only bring me to the highest rating, not least because of the extremely friendly, eloquent and very quick service of the staff.

Super delicious food, simply recommended 👍👍👍👍👍

Unfortunately 4.5 doesn't work. There still has to be some room for improvement Food top. Good portions, but no suitable “smaller dishes” for lunch, only an evening menu.

Very tasty food and served quickly. The service was very courteous and competent. We will definitely come back when we are in Karlstadt again.

Super delicious food and nice staff.

Was there again for dinner after a long time. And as always: very good food. The 1/2 was again on point, red cabbage top. Very highly recommended. But be careful: reserve a table!

Very tasty and fast and friendly service

Very tasty food and the service staff is also very nice, friendly and on the ball. Every now and then they always check and ask if everything is OK or if there is anything else they would like. Top We always like to come back 👍 I can't say anything about the hotel because we live nearby and only come to eat.

Super nice service Great food at a very good price/performance ratio We always enjoy coming here.

Very nice restaurant, in a cute old town. Large parking lot on the Main. The food is fantastic and the staff is very attentive and friendly.

Very good, cheap restaurant with a large selection of home-style dishes. What was particularly good for us on Sunday, October 20th, 2024, despite the large crowds, was the fast service because of the "October Market", and the Schäufele we loved, which we have enjoyed here several times. Thanks also to the innkeeper, who always has an open ear for a guest. Thanks

During the last week we were allowed to be guests at Fehmelbauer. In addition to the beautiful historical ambience of the inn, we enjoyed being pampered by the Franconian cuisine, very tasty, the portions were hardly manageable. The staff was super nice and helpful, even our bike loading problem was solved completely easily. Many thanks again to Udo and best wishes to his team. We'll definitely come back next year, we're looking forward to it, until then...
