Zum Lustigen Hirsch in Immenstadt i.Allgäu

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

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. *****

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!!!

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 🙏

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

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.

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!!!

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
