Zum Lustigen Hirsch in Immenstadt i.Allgäu

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations.

We ate there for the second time tonight and it was absolutely fantastic again. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very charming and rustic. The food is simply delicious and there's something for everyone! Highly recommended. 😊😊😊

Delicious and highly recommended. Child-friendly and beautifully furnished.

If you're looking for a good meal, this isn't the place. Schnitzel with fries and salad: €19. The schnitzel was frozen, the fries were dry and unsalted, the salad was limp and unappetizing, and the dressing came straight from a bucket. A complete rip-off, totally overpriced. I'm never going back. At that price, it's simply inedible.

Delicious food and a very nice atmosphere 😊

I liked the restaurant's style.

A very well-maintained atmosphere, delicious and appealing food, and friendly, attentive staff! Always worth a visit if you want a really good meal!

Very friendly staff, food was very good.

Nice gastronomy with typical Bavarian design

We've been to this restaurant several times for dinner. They have a changing themed menu, a well-balanced menu for adults, but also a good selection for children. Our kids also like the sausages and mashed potatoes - sometimes without fries. We've always enjoyed the food, whether it's venison, pork, or fish. The dessert is also delicious :-) The service is absolutely prompt and friendly.

Great restaurant, delicious food, and good service. Very fair prices.

Everything is delicious and the price is right. Great area. I'd be happy to go back.

I'm posting a review for the second time because Google deleted the previous one. I absolutely do not recommend this place because there is no service at all, the food is not tasty, and in Ukraine, only homeless people visit such a place. Google keeps deleting my reviews, what is this?)

Very good restaurant and delicious food

It's been a while since our visit (just for dinner), but I still wanted to write a review. Our visit was truly wonderful; the service was super friendly, and the food was simply delicious 😊 The location is also very inviting, both in terms of its quiet setting and the interior design. We felt very comfortable and will definitely be back – we've already booked a date for next year at the latest. We're already looking forward to it! 😊

The food was exceptionally good

We ate at the Hirsch for the first time today. We've been coming to the Allgäu for 30 years and have always eaten very well, but rarely have we had such a good meal as at the Hirsch. Very friendly, pleasant, and very well-organized service. We will add this restaurant to our "to-do" list and would love to come back. Thank you for such a delicious meal and the lovely atmosphere in the restaurant.

A very nice, rustic, highly recommended inn with friendly staff. Good food. Lovely beer garden with a view of the mountains. Reservations are recommended for the inn, but not for the beer garden. We'd be happy to come back.

We've been coming there regularly for 15 years and absolutely love it. No matter where we are in the Allgäu, no journey is too far for us to dine at the funny Hirsch.

Very good restaurant. Nice staff. Thank you

Very delicious food, friendly service. We'll be back.

Great food, great service, children's playground with a fantastic view, lovely outdoor area, everything is just right here, highly recommended.

The Lustiger Hirsch is worth a visit. Great location, fantastic beer garden with a fantastic view, and the restaurant itself is quaintly decorated. Service is truly top-notch. And the food is top-notch in terms of both taste and quantity. *****

Yes, the funny deer is highly recommended! We had a great end to our girls' trip there.

The host was very friendly and accommodating, which made us feel immediately welcome. The food was overall okay, though rather mediocre considering the price range. It was perfectly adequate for a casual visit.

Great location and delicious food

We only ate there. You're rushed through. The staff tries hard. The food is average. What a shame.

The food was incredibly delicious, the service was super friendly, and the ambiance was beautiful and truly an experience. I would visit again anytime. What did we eat? -Roast beef with onions -Venison schnitzel -Wiener schnitzel

I can recommend the restaurant wholeheartedly, we had a lovely evening with delicious food in a great atmosphere & friendly staff

Very friendly staff, beautiful rooms, a friendly owner, and really good food. It's usually fully booked, so it's always best to reserve a table in advance. Thank you for the lovely stay, we'd love to come back.

We've been vacationing in the Allgäu for years. Visiting the Lustiger Hirsch on Thursdays for cheese spaetzle evening has become a firm tradition. The food is incredibly delicious, the staff is super friendly, and you don't have to wait long for your meal. My daughter (9) always reminds me that we absolutely can't forget cheese spaetzle evening... 👍🏻 We're already looking forward to the next time.

Very nice inn with great and delicious food, you can eat outside and inside

Absolutely delicious food, great service. Important: Make a reservation in advance!

...as always very tasty with a friendly welcome!!

Beautiful, affordable, quiet, hearty, great garden restaurant, friendly, interesting dishes, very spicy pumpkin, the turkey salad was missing cheese. Huge cakes, super rustic and cool restrooms inside.

Very friendly staff, fast, attentive, and child-friendly service, cozy, rustic, and clean interior, and most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious! We were two adults with two children (5 and 8 years old).

We were here for the second and therefore last time ☹️ The food wasn't even average. The side salad was outrageous, see photo. We showed it to the waitress and explained, she just said sorry and we'd charged everything. I also find it absolutely awful that they assign a visit slot, with a clearly defined end time. We had to wait forever for our food that day and didn't have a chance to have dessert. Absolute profit maximization at the expense of the customer. Unfortunately, we don't understand all the good reviews here.

We stopped here by chance and were lucky to get a table. I think it's worth making a reservation, especially in the evening. We had an incredibly delicious meal. The venison schnitzel was fantastic, and the grilled meat was also delicious. Everything was very fresh and prepared quickly. The service was very friendly, and the atmosphere was super cozy.

The Luschdige is truly amazing: You're greeted by the chef himself right away. It always seems to be packed. And yet, the very friendly and authentic waiters manage to serve freshly prepared and absolutely delicious dishes to our table of eight within 15 minutes. After less than 90 minutes, we were back out, appetizer and dessert included. I can only take my hat off to the restaurant and warmly recommend the Lustiger Hirsch in Akams. May the restaurant continue to be successful for a long time.

We stopped by for a quick coffee. A lovingly decorated restaurant with many eye-catchers. A must-see.

Great ambiance and service 👍 Food wasn't quite right for the price. The schnitzel was small and dry, and the sauce wasn't satisfactory.

We went there because of the good reviews. There was only room on the terrace, which was okay. We chose the most expensive dish for €35 [pepper steak], and it was a complete disaster. We ordered medium, and the steak was cooked all the way through. The waitress tried to convince us it was medium, and we should come inside the restaurant because the lighting was different. 😂 After consulting with the chef, we couldn't agree. His statement was even more insulting. Absolutely unacceptable. That's not how you treat customers. Good advice to the chef: remove the dish from the menu. I haven't had such a lackluster plate in a long time. We won't be back...

I've rarely experienced such great service!!!! Not just today, but the day before too! Great!!!! And the atmosphere is fantastic! Actually, everyone is very, very friendly... And that's something no amount of money can buy!!!

Delicious food and drinks Just stopped by for dinner, fast and friendly service Would gladly go back!

Simply always great Incredibly delicious food Super friendly staff

Absolutely disappointing and disrespectful! I ordered a pepper steak medium and explicitly emphasized when ordering that I wanted it medium, but I definitely got it medium-well (see photo). When I complained, I was told, "It looks like this under the light." Even worse: A waiter claimed it was medium and seriously suggested I should order my food in English – but in Germany, it should be a given that you order in German and are understood. The waiter should better learn what the doneness of a steak actually means! This kind of treatment of guests is outrageous. Never again!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Great decor, friendly staff, good food and beer.

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.

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.

Fantastic guesthouse with excellent food. Rooms are large and clean. Beds are comfortable. Heating worked great in the winter. Beautiful area for morning walks. Large parking lot for hotel guests and restaurant guests. Restaurant downstairs was delicious. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. They had live music one of the nights I stayed here but it did not last late into the night.

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.

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

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.

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

The ambiance outside and the service were impeccable. The food was okay. I found the cheese spaetzle bland. It's certainly 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.

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 👌

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.

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.

Friendly service with a good menu.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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

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?

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.

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

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.

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 ;-)

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

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...🤩

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

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.

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!!!

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 🙏

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

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

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.

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

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!!!

The entire staff, including the boss, was unfriendly!

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!
