Zum Lustigen Hirsch in Immenstadt i.Allgäu

As always, delicious food. Very friendly staff. The chef often stops by. Make sure to make a reservation in advance.

Very good cuisine and friendly service.

A cheese spaetzle dinner on Thursday is a must. Delicious.

Super delicious food and friendly service. The value for money is definitely right here. We'd be happy to come back.

A quaint restaurant with delicious food. We'd love to come back. Reservations are recommended.

Today, four of us went to the funny Hirschen restaurant, which unfortunately didn't impress us with its culinary offerings. The Kässpatzen (cheese spaetzle) was soggy, without any of the typical mountain cheese, and at €16.50, it was overpriced for a small portion. The roast beef was also a tiny portion at €29.50. No response to any complaints. The chef never showed up. All in all, a culinary tourist flop. Not recommended. There are better options in the Allgäu.

Great decor, friendly staff, good food and beer.

We went there today for cheese spaetzle, and it was delicious. Good service! The fact that you can only book time slots bothers me a bit, it makes the visit a bit less relaxing. At 5 p.m., no one's hungry yet, but 7:45 p.m. is just not possible with small children.

A very nice restaurant with an adjoining beer garden. The excellent service is particularly noteworthy: friendly, attentive, and prompt, despite the large number of guests.

We had venison schnitzel, which was absolutely delicious. The waiters were very friendly and personable. The restaurant and beer garden are beautifully decorated and cozy.

We only visited the restaurant. The restaurant is very large and busy. Reservations make sense. We sat at the bar, and the reception and staff simply exuded a restless air. Personally, I found dinner a bit too hectic, as you only have a time slot for your meal (1.5 hours). We had to wait about 5 minutes at reception for someone to pick us up. The drinks also took a while to arrive. This was due to the restaurant being full and only one person at the bar. Unfortunately, the house Merzen beer wasn't available. The food was delicious and the portions were good. The prices are also good.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The service was very friendly, and there wasn't a long wait for the food. The food was delicious, with fresh ingredients and a reasonable price.

We can't comment on the rooms. But we can, and we want to, comment on the restaurant. First of all, a huge compliment to the chef. You're working with us, something you rarely see. You've created a beautiful restaurant, there's much to marvel at, you have a top-notch team, and the kitchen produces superbly handcrafted food. It was truly delicious. The service is attentive, friendly, and professional. Questions and criticisms are received in a friendly manner and dealt with professionally. Above all, a huge compliment and thank you to our waitress, KARIN. You're simply brilliant. We highly recommend it.

Highly recommended; we were there for dinner. Very friendly and always up for a laugh. We'd love to come back.

The ambiance outside and the service were impeccable. The food was okay. I found the cheese spaetzle bland. It's definitely great for kids, as the cheese used lacked much of its own flavor. The meat dishes were good but nothing exceptional. Dessert (apple fritters) was okay, but I've had better ones.

Unfortunately, the food wasn't that great anymore... manageable, but no wow factor anymore. Sorry.

Everything is just right here. Great location, super delicious food, friendly service. We wanted to reserve a table on August 15, but unfortunately, it wasn't available on our last day of vacation. We'll definitely go back next year. One of the best restaurants in the region 👌

We had lunch here. The food and drinks were very good. The children's dishes are presented in a very fun way. We received friendly service, and there's a playground, which is clearly visible from some tables.

Very good food! A lovely, shady playground for the kids. A great kids' menu. Friendly staff.

Clearly, a lot of emphasis is placed on accommodating large numbers of guests here. Everything moves quickly, but unfortunately, we had watery dumplings and dry schnitzels. The waiter reacted dismissively to the criticism. Even when we asked about the high chair, the reply was brief: "You'll just have to see what's left inside!" It's a shame, because the location is, of course, great. The restrooms were clean.

Friendly service with a good menu.

Very friendly staff. We arrived by bike, and the food arrived within 10 minutes. The schnitzel was fantastic.

We went to the beer garden and had an excellent meal. The homemade cheese spaetzle (Kasspatzen) was delicious. The service was also excellent. Luckily, there was live music (accordion and vocals), which I personally thought was perfect. A real insider tip in the Immenstadt region.

This was our second time eating there. I was absolutely impressed by the friendly and very quick service. They are truly attentive and on the ball. The ambiance is very nice, somewhere between traditional Bavarian and modern. The food is, last but not least, very good. The drive to Akams is definitely worth it.

Since I travel a lot, I often have the opportunity to discover and try new restaurants. But it's rare to come across such a special gem! This beautifully located inn boasts a picturesque outdoor area, surpassed only by the exquisite cuisine and warm hospitality. Everything is truly perfect here – from the location and ambiance to the service and food. A visit to remember!

The best Kässpatzen in the entire Allgäu region. All-you-can-eat, live music, friendly service

We ate at the funny Hirschen and were delighted. Friendly staff, a lovely atmosphere with lots of witty details, and a great beer garden. The spare ribs were amazing, and the Kaiserschmarrn was also delicious. We highly recommend it!

A very nice inn. The food is excellent and the staff is very friendly.

Yes, very good food. Very attentive, friendly staff.

The food was great as always, but the service (female, mid-40s, Lower Bavaria) was very snippy and annoyed. I'm not used to that kind of thing at Hirsch. Hopefully, this remains the exception.

Top-notch – simply amazing selection of delicious dishes – one of the best restaurants in the entire area. Reservations are recommended.

What else is there to write in a rainy summer...other than forgetting the summer of 2025?

Highly recommended, very tasty food, very friendly, very animal-loving

We stayed in a vacation apartment just a few steps from the Lustiges Hirsch for a week. Since we were traveling with a dog, we weren't allowed in the restaurant, but they always tried to find us a covered outdoor spot. This worked without exception. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. The owner was also very friendly. We would gladly come back.

One day, my parents and I were looking for a highly regarded restaurant that also serves spaetzle. The restaurant "Zum Lustigen Hirsch" was the first one we came across. I find the atmosphere very pleasant. It's also remarkable that (almost) everything is regionally sourced, making the restaurant seem all the more special. The staff is very friendly. Recently, the food was excellent – my recommendation would be the venison schnitzel with cheese spaetzle. We go there at least once a year. We've been doing so since 2021, by the way. It's located in the quiet village of Akams, which offers beautiful scenery.

I had a cordon bleu with cheese spaetzle and herb cream sauce. The service was top-notch, and the food was also really delicious; they have a really great menu here.

You'll feel instantly welcome upon entering. The staff is very friendly. The food was delicious!

We spontaneously visited the Lustiger Hirsch – service, location, view, and food: 5 stars. We called shortly beforehand to check availability, the lady was nice, and the information was friendly – perfect. The menu offers a wide selection of Allgäu/Swabian dishes – there was also a daily special. Goulash with spaetzle – always a good choice for me ;-)

I can't comment on the rooms, as we didn't stay overnight, but "only" ate there. Arriving with 23 people, we were served drinks "a la carte" with such speed that we couldn't beat it. Kudos to the organization, because not everyone can manage that! Apart from that, the food was absolutely first-class. I recommend the "Akamser Töpfchen" 😋... This will definitely be a stop on our next motorcycle tour. The view is dreamy...🤩

We visited the restaurant for dinner this weekend. Unfortunately, we don't understand the hype surrounding the place; in our experience, it's a completely overcrowded operation, and the staff, including the chef, aren't particularly hospitable. The two main courses were particularly disappointing. The pork knuckle wasn't fresh, probably left over from the "knuckle day" the day before, and the venison schnitzel was thin and dry, with a generic sauce that bore no resemblance to a wild game sauce. Definitely not worth the trip.

An experience! Simply excellent. More than good value for money

We were at the beer garden about 3-4 weeks ago. Great service, especially for families with children. Highly recommended! We'd love to come back.

Great beer garden, attentive service, and wonderful food. Everyone was very satisfied. I'll definitely be back.

Very tasty dishes, great ambience - would come back anytime 😇

Such a great restaurant with great food and very friendly staff!!!

We came here for dinner! The venison loin is highly recommended!

The food was one of the best I’ve tried in Germany. Very traditional and delicious! Been here few times and love coming back! Thank you 🙏

On a Vespa tour through the Allgäu region, we stopped for lunch at the funny Hirsch restaurant in Akams. The garden and restaurant are lovingly furnished and decorated. Everyone on board thoroughly enjoyed the food. The service was also excellent.

Super delicious food. Great view. Highly recommended ;-)

Delicious food, great service, we'll be happy to come back on our next vacation.

Friendly staff and delicious food. We were there on a Saturday afternoon (around 4 p.m.) and got a table outside (but well-protected and covered on the terrace). The food was served quickly and was very good (pork knuckle, Luhi bowl, and two kids' dishes). The prices are reasonable. We'd be happy to come back!

The entire staff, including the boss, was unfriendly!

We went there for dinner, had a table in the garden, couldn't eat in peace, and were constantly pestered by some bitchy mosquitoes. The food was also mediocre, barely lukewarm. We ordered wild boar, but it wasn't wild boar. The side dish on the plate was wilted and the sauce was a little thin. We ate the food quickly and left again. During the meal, the umbrellas were folded up, leaving dirt on them. The waiter was informed of the food's deficiencies, and in response... He's just a waiter here and has no clue! 😯🙄😒☹ SUMMARY: ONCE AND NEVER AGAIN!!!

We were only there for dinner. But everything was perfect. Very friendly service, a great atmosphere, and the prices are very reasonable. 👍 Thank you very much, and we will be back.

Friendly staff and very fast service. The food was okay. Nothing less, but nothing more. The parking situation is also "interesting."

A week ago, six of us went to eat at the Lustiger Hirsch. The restaurant is a beautifully decorated inn with a great location. The food was served promptly despite the full house. There's a variety of Bavarian delicacies to choose from, which we all enjoyed immensely. If you're ever in the area and looking for authentic Allgäu cuisine, this is the place to be!

Very tasty food... simply top-notch and beautifully Bavarian.

Very tasty Kässpatzen 😋 great beer garden, we'll be happy to come back 😊

I went there for dinner with a tour group. Although it was very busy, we were served very promptly and with great friendliness. The food was divine. Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The ambiance was dreamy. Simply wonderful and highly recommended.

A truly fantastic restaurant, we were thrilled and will definitely come back. The service is simply wonderful; you won't miss anything here. Everything is delicious, from starters to dessert. Fun is truly the motto here, as we had a truly wonderful and entertaining evening.

Delicious, authentic cuisine! Good beer selection, varied menu, and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Simply a classic in the Allgäu region and always a great place to enjoy. The garden is a particularly lovely place to sit when the weather is nice.

A very nice place and the food is wonderful. Very friendly staff and a rustic atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately there were too many flies in the restaurant which disturbed us while we were eating!

Very friendly staff, excellent service, excellent food, spacious and well-equipped rooms. Cyclist-friendly, with a bike storage room.

We ate there. Really great atmosphere, friendly staff, super delicious/good food. No matter what you order. Simply great, always happy to go back. See you next time.

For starters, we had a trio of roast beef, fish 🐟, and Mediterranean vegetables. For the main course, we had spareribs with wedges, and ravioli filled with figs and sun-dried tomatoes 🍅 in brown butter. All the dishes were beautifully presented and delicious 😋. Despite the busyness, the service was attentive, professional, and friendly. The fact that the restaurant was packed certainly speaks volumes about the quality and offerings. The value for money is also good, so I highly recommend it 👍

Always worth a stop for lunch or dinner. I’ve never got disappointed by anything on their menu. Staff is always very friendly. I really like the outdoors in summer. We had the Sauerbraten, the Bowl with beef stripes and an Apfelstrudel as a dessert. Everything was top notch. They also have the best wheat beer available - Engelbräu.

Zum lustigen Hirschen is a rustic inn with Alpine views, serving regional and contemporary cuisine. The cheese spaetzle was delicious—everything fresh, homemade, and served with love. The service was warm and the atmosphere was great.

Delicious food and attentive service. It was also great that they had non-alcoholic beer on tap.

It's always a good idea to make a reservation. The food was delicious! Various venison dishes and other beautifully presented, hearty, delicious dishes.

My favorite restaurant in the area!

Great! We had lunch at the Lustiger Hirsch today. We received a very warm welcome and were shown to our table. The menu and drinks arrived promptly. We were thrilled with the beautiful decor and the excellent service. We ordered our food, and the soup and salad were already on the table. Flavorful and homemade. A dream. The main course was prepared with love and taste. Absolutely delicious. All the dishes are sourced locally from local butchers and farmers and prepared in the restaurant. Great regional cuisine that you can taste. The service was always close and attentive. We highly recommend the Lustiger Hirsch. Reservations are definitely a good idea on weekends.

Very good food in a great atmosphere. We had the Akamser Dreierlei for starters – a delicious surprise! They serve their own Märzen beer and a fresh IPA – highly recommended. The extensive children's menu leaves nothing to be desired, even for the little ones. The service is excellent, and the staff is super friendly. The seating inside and outside is really nice. We'd love to come back!

A beautiful traditional restaurant in a prime location. The food was a delight, with a strong emphasis on quality and regional produce. Definitely worth a visit!

We spontaneously went there for dinner on Father's Day. Despite not having a reservation, we were offered a table for 1.5 hours. We were there with four people (two adults and two children). 4 drinks 1 roast beef with onions 1 cheese spaetzle 2 schnitzels with fries 2 mixed ice creams 1 apple strudel The price was just under €100, which reflected the quality of the food. It was truly delicious and cooked to perfection. The service staff was very friendly and attentive. Food and drinks were served promptly, so our time slot was plenty. There's a play area and coloring books for children.

Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy it. The fish tasted fishy and was overcooked, as was the meat, and it was barely seasoned.

Delicious food, great and friendly service, and a lovely beer garden. We had a wonderful lunch with you – thank you very much!

Excellent food and beer, very friendly service... Great atmosphere inside and in the beer garden. We'll be back.

The Lustige Hirsch is a beautiful restaurant with outstanding cuisine. The pork knuckle was a poem :-)

We went there for dinner. Outdoor seating with a playground for the kids. Delicious food. Great decor, and everything was affordable. Highly recommended.

I stayed here for several days and am completely satisfied. The rooms are new and adequately spacious. The breakfast buffet has a great selection and is very fresh. The only issue is the internet, although the speed is good, sometimes has connection issues or freezes. The inn itself is beautifully designed and also has a wonderful outdoor dining area. The food is delicious and the service is very fast. The chef, in particular, and the entire staff are very friendly. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to stop by for dinner or, if I need to stay overnight, I'll stay here again.

A wonderful place! "Der lustige Hirsch" in Akams impresses with truly good home-style cooking and a surprising number of delicious vegetarian dishes – there's something for everyone. The view is simply magnificent, perfect for unwinding. I would especially like to highlight the staff: super friendly, attentive, and with a great sense of humor. You immediately feel welcome. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty food, generous portions, great service and short waiting times - a great experience all around

We went there for dinner. Excellent service, great seating, and delicious food. Not cheap, but worth the price—we'd gladly go again.

Located in a rural setting, easily accessible by bike, car, or motorcycle. Very attentive and friendly staff, and delicious food!

A quaint, stylish, and modern restaurant with home-style food and a well-maintained beer garden area. Attentive, friendly, and efficient staff. The traditional costumes worn by the staff are particularly noteworthy. I really enjoyed the Wiener Schnitzel and apple pie! Thank you very much!

We ate here at the end of our vacation. It was simply fantastic. The restaurant is very tastefully and comfortably decorated, truly inviting. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and funny. The food was delicious.

Actually, yes. But we were only there for dinner, as we were on our way to our accommodation. Great restaurant. But... Here in Franconia, the waiter is often called "boss" (not meant derogatorily). The "???????" (what should I call him?) waiter? In any case, he very rudely pointed out to me that I should get the boss; he wasn't the boss and therefore wasn't responsible. Too bad. That's a way to turn an opinion negative. I ended up not eating anything. My colleague was all the friendlier. Everything was great except for the very unfriendly gentleman. Sorry I'm a guest.

We had dinner at the Lustiger Hirsch on June 5, 2025. Ten people, who had made a reservation the night before, and everything worked perfectly. It was Käsespatzen evening, where you could watch the show. The decor is quaint and very cozy, setting the mood right away! The food and service were perfect. Contrary to the menu's "it might take a little longer," we got our food pretty quickly. We had a wonderful evening at the Lustiger Hirsch. Thank you very much and best wishes from Switzerland, André

The service was perfect, the food was like something from a Michelin-starred chef, and the waitresses were really friendly. I can't rate the rooms, but overall, I highly recommend it.

Simply exceptionally good! Thank you for the good time and the great food.

A very good Allgäu restaurant. The food is excellent, and the service is very attentive and friendly. Tip: The portions could be a bit larger, especially the side dishes.

Very quaint location. Top-notch food.

We were there on Father's Day, very tasty food, friendly and attentive service, ambiance just great, completely satisfied, we will definitely come back

We had a very good meal; the service was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is also very cozy and appealing. A tip: If you want a good, comfortable meal here, be sure to reserve a table!

A very nice Allgäu restaurant. You can also make reservations online.

We went there for dinner. I was very satisfied; the food was really good, and the service was very friendly. I'd love to come back if I'm in the area.

Delicious food and great decor.

The Zum lustigen Hirsch restaurant is a truly beautiful restaurant. The interior is lovingly adapted to the local area, with great attention to detail. The food is delicious, and the portions are quite generous, considering the price. All in all, a restaurant definitely worth a visit. It's truly lovely here. We'll definitely be back.
