Zum Scheffelhof in Maulbronn

Delicious food, super friendly and attentive host. We felt completely at ease and will definitely come back. 10/10!

Very good cuisine and great service.

Today again... Four of us Reserved!! The owners are very accommodating! The food was delicious We'll be back ☺️

Very tasty and fresh food, and the service was super friendly and attentive. It's a bit more expensive, but definitely worth it. Parking is easy in front.

A truly fantastic restaurant. Very friendly staff, great location, incredibly tasty lemonades, and fantastic food. All in all, highly recommended! Thanks for the experience. We will definitely be back.

For years, this has been our favorite restaurant for delicious Mediterranean cuisine. A place to relax, especially the courtyard, which is very lovingly designed. The dining room with its beautiful bar is also inviting. Georg uses regional products whenever possible, which isn't always possible with Mediterranean cuisine. Very creative dishes are always deliciously prepared. The service team is very attentive. We highly recommend this restaurant.

We happened to pass by here while driving through. The stop was worth it. Everything was perfect. The ambiance was lovely, the service excellent, and the food was delicious.

great ambience, the food is excellent

Very tasty food with a charcoal grill. High price, but everything is justified for this quality. Service was very attentive and very friendly. Top

Wonderful food, great ambiance, outstanding service—we'd love to come back. Highly recommended!

★★★★★ - If there were more stars, I would give them. We stayed at the Scheffelhof in Maulbronn – and what can I say: absolutely fabulous. The Mediterranean platter with a Greek twist was simply outstanding: tender fillet skewers, perfectly grilled lamb, and these feta-stuffed suzukakia (like those from Thassos) – crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. This was accompanied by fresh grilled vegetables, a tomato salad with feta cheese, and a garlic-free tzatziki, which was nevertheless incredibly aromatic, a rare find. The wine, Malagousia from Florina, rounded it all off perfectly. And Georg? The guy is simply in a class of his own: attentive, warm, competent – you feel immediately welcome. Highly recommended. 5 stars isn't really enough.

We went to the restaurant for dinner and sat in the courtyard, which is actually very nice, but unfortunately our table was quite outside and was constantly surrounded by flies. It was a shame; I would have preferred to sit inside with my two kids because of the wasps, but that apparently wasn't an option. The service was very friendly and quick, which was really excellent. Unfortunately, I can't particularly praise the food. The children's schnitzel was not of great quality, nor was the pork. The wait was short, but I would have preferred to wait a little longer for better quality, especially given the prices. All in all, we were a little disappointed with our visit.

Super delicious food, great ambiance, and even better service. Highly recommended.

I was there with my 13-year-old son, and we wanted something to eat. The actually quite nice female waitress immediately informed us that it might take a while. The wait was reasonable. I was immediately addressed informally. No one knows why. Even my son noticed. The other employee, either kitchen staff or server, served us the salad in a bad mood. While clearing the table, the female waitress asked us if we liked it, and because we're polite, we said yes. The server thought that was "cool." 🫣 And then, while talking to other guests, she found quite a few things "hot." (I'm certainly not a square, but it really annoyed me). Something wasn't working properly with the cash register, so they had to play some music to calm things down. 🙈 The food (onion roast beef) was okay, but a bit boring. The atmosphere wasn't right for me either. Overall, a bit unprofessional.

Delicious food with great ideas, friendly service, as always when we've eaten at the Scheffelhof. A lovely, covered courtyard; we'd love to come back.

Very attentive and friendly service, interesting dishes, and a clear menu selection (it shows that the food is fresh and delicious!). The price/performance ratio is fair, and the courtyard is a cozy place to sit. We'd be happy to return!

Super delicious. Great service.

The price-performance ratio isn't quite right. We sat in the truly beautiful courtyard. The menu emphasized that they use high-quality meat. However, the meat on the souvlaki skewers was very finely chopped, blandly seasoned, and fried dry. The fries were also dry. Two small bowls of dip and about half a chopped tomato couldn't make up for it. The whole thing was on paper, probably meant to look like more. And that for just under €20. Currywurst was only available as a giant portion with two sausages on the plate for €17.50, if I remember correctly. It was probably tasty, but they could also offer a "normal" portion.

If you want to do something good for your culinary soul then it is a must.

Price/performance not quite in line...

Very tasty food, great ambience, really recommendable 😍

Everything was perfect! We stayed overnight and had dinner. Carme was delicious.

The service is excellent and the food is excellent!!

Very nice restaurant with a beautiful courtyard to sit outside. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The boss and the entire staff are very friendly and attentive. Our grandson also received a warm welcome. Good selection of children's meals. The food is of high quality and very tasty. Everything is freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The prices are reasonable for this quality. We'd love to come back. This restaurant is highly recommended ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

So written in advance. The place is not cheap but the food is fresh and tasty. I had lamb. Perfectly fried to perfection. The service is beyond reproach. We'll definitely come back, even if it hurts our wallet... but our palate will be pampered...

We had dinner and I can only recommend it

Great restaurant with renovated rooms and a small private terrace with good free espresso for hotel guests

We had dinner with you and had a wonderful evening. The service was friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the food was simply delicious. We were particularly impressed that an extra vegan dish was prepared for us even though it wasn't on the menu - great service! We'll definitely come back. Thank you for the great experience!

Very tasty roast roast. Nice service. Everything went great.

The service was again very good and so was the food. Keep it up👍

The Crazy Haloumi was very tasty. The service excellent. Exciting interior with great pictures. This is how gastronomy should be.

Were in the restaurant, It's rare to find a restaurant where the quality and service are so excellent. Absolutely clear recommendation! We'd love to come back.

We really enjoy going by, great food, clear recommendation.

Delicious food and professional and friendly service.

Nice rooms. Pub coolly decorated. Unfortunately not served on site.

Very tasty food! Simply great!!

Went to the class reunion at the Scheffelhof yesterday. Unfortunately, the staff was overwhelmed when it came to billing. The bill wasn't checked straight away and the meal was billed as a men's dream instead of medals. I can only recommend checking the food that has been billed for immediately. 10€ difference.

The food is delicious and the service is friendly and attentive. But please bring back the chocolate cake for dessert 🙏

The Scheffelhof gets a clear recommendation!!! The rooms are sufficiently large, renovated and clean. A coffee machine is available in the hallway for all guests as there is no breakfast here. However, the nearest bakery is right in the neighborhood. You can eat excellently in the restaurant and bar. The portions are large. The service is really nice, open-minded and quick. The location of the inn is perfect. You can reach the monastery in five minutes on foot. Free parking spaces are available in the immediate vicinity. We would love to come back. Thank you!!

I can only recommend a German restaurant, the food was very tasty. And very friendly. Thank you very much 😁 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We were just passing through and stayed at the motorhome parking space for one night. LG the hamburgers

Very pleasant waiter with a mustache, excellent food, I can only recommend :)

Excellent cuisine & cocktails. Very professional and courteous service.

A nice inn with a restaurant. Food not cheap but very good. Rooms clean and modern, nothing was missing. Due to the location on the main street, the windows could not be opened, which was quite annoying in midsummer. In principle, however, a good and convenient location.

Super delicious food, great location and really friendly staff. The price is high, but absolutely within the range for the performance offered.

Very tasty food and very nice service.

Overall a good hotel in a good location. But: A room that was initially booked as a single room was changed to a double room at short notice due to the two of us arriving, and an additional cost of €21 was found to be OK. However, the promise to provide additional towels and bed linen was not kept. The initially promised reimbursement of the additional effort has not been received even after 4 weeks, what a shame!

When visiting Maulbronn Monastery, we recommend making a reservation at the “Zum Scheffelhof” restaurant. The restaurant is very easy to reach as it is in the immediate vicinity of the famous Maulbronn Monastery. The atmosphere is modern and very cozy. Especially in the warm season, there are seats in the back area, which is more reminiscent of an idyllic Italian alley. The staff is very committed and friendly. The dishes on offer are particularly noteworthy. The restaurant also offers seasonal highlights that are very appealing. The price-performance ratio is okay, especially since the quality of the food is particularly high. A white wine was recommended to us today, which went perfectly with the food and rounded off the visit perfectly. The restaurant deserves the rating “highly recommended”.

Sympathetic, very tasty and individual restoration. Made the most of the location thanks to the friendly group that runs the store. We were blown away by the service and the very fine food!

Good restaurant with lots of homemade products. The outside area is also cozy and protected from the weather.

Outstanding service and high quality food.

Great, delicious tagliata eaten

Rarely eaten so well. The ambience, the service, the food it was all fantastic! Great dishes and drinks, we'll definitely be back. 👍

The rooms are fine. Clean if a bit careless. For €91 I'm asking for more. Service? No booking confirmation, check out at 10am, no breakfast. Otherwise, friendliness... well Parking spaces only public - 2 hours with parking disc :-(

Have eaten there a few times and it was always of the same good quality. It's cozy, not very loud. What should be changed so that the smoke from the cigarettes can't get in, that would be great

Food absolutely top price performance completely fine super quality and the service is very nice and attentive we will definitely be back

Best steaks & co. in a great atmosphere. An absolute must! 🦾

The restaurant offers a great ambience. The staff are super friendly. The food is really well prepared and good, but unfortunately it was only served lukewarm. That is too bad. Conclusion: The restaurant is recommended. I think the not-so-warm food can happen. Parking spaces next to the restaurant are rare, but you can walk up from the monastery parking lot. Note to the chef: Cold plates quickly remove the heat from the food. Otherwise everything was really great.

Very good food and great service!

Reservation is required. It may take longer to get your food. We waited over 1 hour.

I spent a peaceful night here. The room had everything it needed. It was clean, the beds were new and the mattress was firm. There was WiFi. The bathroom was very spacious. Overall, at best, a little light-hearted. An absolute MUST: in the evening after work you can eat VERY, VERY GOOD in the attached restaurant. I would love to come back!

The absolute insider tip... super tasty... Always new dishes... lovely great service... We love the Scheffelhof and always like to drive 30 to 40 minutes to get there

Hervorragendes Essen wie immer, Zimmer hat alles was es braucht.

Haben von meiner karte 28 euro zuviel abgezogen. Service nur katastrophe mehr nicht. Bei denen setze ich kein fuß mehr rein.

Super Essen und Ambiente Klasse Service Reservierung nötig

Tolle Stimmung. Sehr urig. Nettes Personal. Super leckeres Essen!

Es war sehr lecker 👌, Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt ☺️. Immer wieder gerne möchten wir dort verweilen ☺️👌

Tolles Ambiente. Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Leckeres Essen. Wir hatten einen schönen Abend und werden bestimmt wieder kommen. Vielen Dank.

unstrukturierte Speisekarte: schwäbisch, griechisch, italienisch, deutsch und asiatisch.... Ambiente mittelmäßig, aber Essen überraschend gut, Zimmer ok

Sehr schöne Location mit erstklassigem Service und Essen.

Sehr gemütliche und freundliche Atmosphäre.

Wunderbares hervorragendes Essen. Erstklassige Bewirtung. Sehr angenehmes Ambiente. Auf unsere Einzelwünsche wurde gerne eingegangen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Wir waren hier schon mal zufriedener. Die Preise haben sich deutlich erhöht, zum Beispiel ein Rostbraten mit Beilagen ohne Salat für über 26€. Oder ein stink normaler Burger mit Pommes für über 18€. Der Servicrle hat sich aber verschlechtert. Wir haben längere Zeit in leere Gläser geschaut. 2G Nachweise wurden nicht abgefragt und hat auch niemanden interessiert. Preisleistung hat sich unserer Meinung deutlich verschlechtert.

Hier hat sich jemand Gedanken gemacht, und zwar über das Ambiente wie auch über das Essen. Wir saßen im Hof bei schönstem Sonnenwetter und genossen das frisch zubereitete Essen. Das Zigeunerschnitzel (10,50) mit der leicht scharfen Soße war schon sehr lecker. Aber die Spargelpasta (9,00) war unübertroffen gut. Ein toller Ort zum Genießen.

After visiting the Maulbronn Monastery, having Maultaschen for lunch, and buying some Easter eggs, it was time to find a place to get a glass of wine. George and Timo were closing after the lunch crowd, but we talked them into letting us have a couple of drinks. What great hosts. Timo makes an exceptional Negroni to boot. We spent a couple of hours chatting with them. George gave us a tour and told us we must come back to stay at the attached six room B&B as well as to have a fantastic meal. The menu looks outstanding with them aging beef on the premises. All in all, a wonderful afternoon despite them being closed! Epharisto, George!

Zum ersten Mal ausprobiert und total begeistert. Alles was man von einem guten Restaurant erwartet: Professionalität, Schnelligkeit, Höflichkeit und hervorragendes Essen. Jederzeit wieder gerne. Absolut empfehlenswert und jeden Euro wert. Reservierung empfohlen!

Sehr sehr gutes Restaurant mit frischer Hausküche, lokalen und saisonalen Gerichten. Dry-Aged Fleischgerichte, leckere Pizza, vegetarische Gerichte und vieles mehr! Schnelle kompetente Bedienungen. Cocktails sind sehr zu empfehlen, viel Auswahl an Spirituosen. Gehen gerne in den Scheffelhof

Chciałbym napisać że jest to jedna z lepszych restauracji w których jadłem. Wymarzone miejsce dla tych którzy cenią dobry Stek oraz dobrą kuchnię, Polecam :)

Das Essen ist besonders gut, hier stimmt alles. Gemütliche Terasse. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Tip: das Filetsteak (dry aged) und die Pizzen schmecken wie in Italien. Preis Leistung ist besser als hervorragend.

Super Essen, schönes, gemütliches Ambiente im Innenhof, sehr freundliche Bedienung - rundum ein gelungener Abend - empfehlenswert!

Kreativ abgerichtes und auf den Punkt schmackhaftes Essen mit dem Gewissen Etwas. Die Bedienung ist flott und freundlich.

Die Bedienung sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Zurückhaltend und doch immer ein Auge für den Gast. Klar. Ist ihr Job, aber habe ich auch schon ganz anders erlebt. Man fühlt sich wohl. Das Essen war hervorragend. Geschmacklich toll abgestimmt. Sehr gute Qualität. Das Auge ißt ja bekanntlich mit und hier wurde es super angerichtet. Das macht Spaß. Bestimmt wieder.

Tip Top gibt nichts zu meckern 👍 wundervolles Ambiente und ein sehr toller Service. Die Speisen waren auf den Punkt genau gegart und sehr ansehnlich angerichtet. Bedenkenlos zu empfehlen und immer wieder sehr gern.

Having just finished a tour of Maulbronn Monastery where we learned about the Swabian Maultaschen, or small God-cheaters, we set off in search of some to try. The legend says that although the Cistercian order was forbidden to eat meat, at one point some minced meat was delivered to the monastery and fearing wasting it, the cooks mixed it with greens and spices and fill pasta pouches with it. The first restaurant we chose made them. They were served in warm broth, and the dish we enjoyed at Scheffelhof was delicious. The gracious owner told us they were his mother’s recipe. The restaurant was very clean, service excellent and we felt fortunate to have found this delightful restaurant.

Tolles Ambiente,leckere und saftige Steaks, sehr gute Bar und ein umwerfend freundlicher Service. Ein Must in Maulbronn.

Wir waren zu dritt im Restaurant und aßen querbeet durch die Speisekarte (Pizza, Schweinefilet und Burger). Das Essen war jeweils hervorragend. Der Service trotz des randvollen Restaurant bestes aufgelegt und freundlich. Die Toilette war sehr sauber. Das Restaurant ist stilvoll dekoriert. Auch nach dem Essen und Zahlen durften wir noch ein bisschen bleiben und wurden nicht zum gehen gedrängt. Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist top.

We had a family reunion dinner here and had a great time. The service was friendly, portion size generous and pricing reasonable. We loved the quaint atmosphere and will certainly return before we leave the area.

Met a friend visiting here for dinner. Clean place, good food, friendly service, relaxing atmosphere. Reasonable prices.
