Zum Spießgesellen in Nürnberg

The food (Schäuferle) was rather average. Unfortunately, sauce was in short supply. Overall little and expensive. Service seemed very rushed. There was no water coming from any sink in the toilet. It's way too expensive for the service and dishes.

Schäufele is delicious, but the sauce is very thin, it's a matter of taste. Very nice service. Food was served quickly. Can be recommended.

The food was average. Nice service but the food came very late and incomplete. Appetizers sometimes came as an afterthought.

Very good restaurant, the food is really good. And the staff very hardworking and polite. Thank you very much

Great food and service... unfortunately a bit loud and not much atmosphere. Service was really top and everything was very quick.

Food was ok. Service was OK too.

Decent portions and requests are catered for

We waited 2 hours for our food. The food was good so far, but the kitchen and service staff seemed to be totally overloaded/incompetent. I've never seen a waiter go so many unnecessary ways. If there's little going on, that's definitely good. But we don't go here anymore. The boss was also very unfriendly and impossible (at the next table)

Ate excellent roast pork. The Tucher light beer was also wonderful. The service was 100% busy but still very friendly and quick.

Delicious food and friendly service.

Services was very good. Fast, friendly and there were also questions about whether everything was okay. Food was delicious. You can go wrong with red cabbage, but not at all here - simply very good.

Very friendly staff. The three of us got a great table in the window alcove and the waiter was very warm and really funny. We didn't wait long for our food and it was really tasty. The Schäufele was a hit. The meat is tender with a crispy crust, the dumpling is bombastic and the apple red cabbage is a poem. Sauerbraten with gingerbread sauce was also absolutely delicious, as was the cheese spaetzle. The portions were very large, so we couldn't finish everything. The waiter immediately offered us something to pack. The drinks were also good. We'll definitely come back to try the rest of the dishes. Thank you for the hospitality!

Food absolutely excellent. Really a pleasure. Service quick and friendly. When making a reservation, it's best to make sure to sit near the counter towards the Bratwursthäusle. These are the most beautiful places.

We liked it. There were five of us

A must when you are in Nuremberg. I can absolutely recommend the Schäufele.

Unfortunately, the staff was a bit unfriendly, the menu was Franconian, unfortunately two dishes were not available. Food was ok, but definitely nothing super special.

Extremely slow service. They do not want or know how to serve the clients.

We got beer and food 10 minutes before the break! Something like that is outstanding. Saying: Nobody goes hungry here. Food very good, beer even better.

Lunch on October 5th with my daughter after a shopping trip. Schäuferle with potato dumplings and red cabbage. Really great. Tender meat detaches perfectly from the bone, crispy, airy crust. Spit roast with bread dumplings and coleslaw. Tender, good roast, perfect natural sauce. For my PERSONAL taste, the coleslaw was bland and the bread dumpling was Franconian... Very friendly, quick and professional waiter. Gladly again

Courteous, friendly and quick service in a chivalrous and well-groomed atmosphere. Food: definitely order Schäufele, beer recommendation: Nuremberg red beer.

The food here tastes very tasty and is also beautifully decorated. Compliments to the kitchen! The ambience is nicely decorated, only the dark colors seem gloomy to me personally. The staff is great, very hospitable and customer-oriented! I just don't like how you talk to the staff "from above" in the presence of guests. Unfortunately, we noticed this every time we visited here. The tone is rough. Linguistic jargon and word choice are subterranean. Please urgently teach the team/shift management the etiquette! Such embarrassing interpersonal behavior towards the hard-working and friendly employees, in the heart of Nuremberg, is unacceptable! Don't lose your face in your guests' eyes!

Good Franconian cuisine, can be recommended

We were charged for red cabbage which was not brought to the table. Very bad... and then denying it to 6 people... because of 4 euros. Very bad.

The food was decent but nothing special, the vegetable patties were cold in the middle and the duck skin wasn't crispy. We ordered bread for the starter but unfortunately it didn't arrive at our table until 20 minutes later. But we can highly recommend the Schäufle, it was really good. I have to change my review again, when we paid we were accused of not wanting to pay for the sauerkraut and red cabbage that we hadn't received. Although we didn't tip well after the aforementioned shortcomings.

We had dinner here with colleagues during the Galabau. Anyone who likes good Bavarian cuisine is in good hands here. The service was super friendly, the food came very quickly and tasted very good. We will come back the next time we visit Galabau. Many thanks to the team

We eat here regularly. Good Franconian food, but slightly more modern versions are also available. Also suitable for company parties.

Very nice and quick service, you can sit outside nicely, inside is rustic with the long tables and the Schäufele was really phenomenally good!

Normal rural restaurant. Traditional dish: Schäufele.

Delicious food, something for everyone. Friendly staff

Enjoyed extremely delicious Obatzn with cellar bread and then a pretzel. The grilled sausages from Schatz were also excellent - the blackcurrant spritzer also tasted like it. The waiter was very personable and polite and was always ready and on his toes. The beer garden shines with its beautiful shade with a light breeze - wonderful in this hot weather. Quiet corner - 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5

We just stopped in for a cold beer and ordered a little something to eat. Greaves of lard with roasted onions and a tasty liver sausage. Thanks again for the tip. We recommend you!

Be careful with the flies. It is a very well located place but the green flies attack you. It feels bad to say this, but it is what it is.

Quaint inn in the old town of Nuremberg. Delicious food and good cellar beer. The service staff are very nice. I was allowed to try a sip of beer before ordering because I didn't know if it would taste good. We were served quickly and very friendly. We will come back when we are in Nuremberg.

During a spontaneous short trip to beautiful Nuremberg, we wanted to find a restaurant with good home-style and regional food. Unfortunately the food was anything but good. The prifferling cream soup was more of a porridge made from mixed mushrooms. There was stale bread in the potato soup and unfortunately it didn't taste good either. The main course of Franconian sauerbraten was okay, the meat was tender, the dumpling tasted old and the sauce tasted almost exclusively of red wine. We have to praise the service, which was always friendly and attentive.

very cozy restaurant with a great atmosphere. Despite being busy, service was very quick and friendly. the portions are large and sufficient. For me, as a spoiled Austrian, Franconian cuisine is not something I need every day, but it is a good change. We felt very comfortable there and can only recommend the house.

Locally in a very good location with a pleasant outdoor area and not so crowded. Service was very friendly. Price level ok compared to the restaurants in the city center. Overall, the food was very good (farmer's skewer was very tasty, potato soup with fresh bread was very good). Clear recommendation!

Friendly service, offers a place in the shade in the courtyard because it would be too hot outside. Fast friendly service. Reasonable prices and you will be welcomed even if you just want a drink. Turned away in other local gardens nearby, you also have to eat.

Fast service, nice location with little noise and shade, excellent food. Just a little expensive but worth it.

Very good grilled sausages, fine sauerkraut and good potato salad. It is recommended to use 9 sausages. 6 may not be enough😁

Solid economy. The food is good and the waitresses often ask if they can have anything else.

Very good food. However, for me the food might be a little cheaper.

Except for the fact that some parts of the meat have fascia that can’t be bitten. Everything else is fine There was a very tall old waiter that day Service is very good The atmosphere is also very good Just like a traditional restaurant If you don’t want to queue up to eat at a sausage shop with many people nearby, You can consider coming here

Something wonderful happened, now I'll tell you ☺️ Do you know when a friend explains to you in every detail what you are going to eat? There, everything was clear, I knew perfectly what I wanted and the restaurant could satisfy all my expectations. 🌈 I order the famous shoulder, complete with charred rind for an end-of-the-world crunch! We wait, and here comes a small portion... without the rind 😓 so desired 😭, I call the waitress and tell her the exact words "I took a beautiful photo where the rind was enormous and then I get this very small piece? What happened?" The waitress apologizes and at the end of dinner returns with the head waiter, with another portion of shoulder... HUGE! I didn't eat it because one is more than enough, but I was still very impressed by their attention 🙌🏻, so thank you, thank you and congratulations for your professionalism! I recommend everything, the excellent cuisine, the generosity of those who work there and the very serene environment. Thanks again, I will definitely come back to have dinner with you. If you liked my review, give it a like 🤩

The best Schäufele! Always nice service. Great location. As always everything is fine. - - - Update 06/16/24: The Schäufele is excellent again! :-)

Promising, but it didn't last. Very noisy atmosphere and with the kitchen closing before 9pm... well

Very tasty food! Absolutely recommended! The roast in gingerbread sauce was to die for! 🤩

Everything was great, it was a very successful evening, only the chairs outside were a bit uncomfortable on the bottom without a cushion ^^

Think about whether the Ochsenbäckle I ate were the worst or second worst in my life. I think it was an over-salted sauerbraten disguised as ox cheeks.

Enjoy Franconian cuisine; recommended

Great food and nice staff. Gladly again.

A beautiful beer hall with honest offerings in the heart of Nuremberg's old town. Anyone who likes Franconian food and is interested in local brewing specialties will find their happiness here. From midday to evening.

We had lunch at “Zum Spiessgesellen”. We were served very quickly and then had our drinks very quickly. You feel very comfortable and special requests are taken into account. The food didn't take long to arrive either. And what can I say... the Schäuferle is super tasty and you get a huge portion. If we come to Nuremberg again, we will definitely go to Spiessgelen again. Delicious beer and hearty food!

The pork shoulder was just so good. Crispy skin, meat was tender and flavorful. The atmosphere has an old world's charm. All was wonderful, of course they also have a great beer selection!

Very friendly waitress. The Schäufele was very good... the spit roast could be improved. Would eat there again

Beautiful outdoor area, friendly staff, very quick ordering and an excellent Schäufele.

I had Nuremberg sausage and beer! I had a choice of what to top, but I chose potato salad. I think it was a little sour, so it went better with the sausage. The sum was good.

We refreshed ourselves with a drink here. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Even though we didn't eat anything, the food we could see looked delicious. We will definitely stop here for dinner sometime.

We sat outside in the beautiful sunshine. The food was delicious and the service was great despite the high number of guests.

Attentive service, you are served quickly and respond to the guest's wishes. Animals were also welcome. At least in outdoor catering.

Very tasty Franconian cuisine, good beers and very friendly service. Lovely again.

I waited for the food one hour. The food is good. Don't bring bread to cream soups.

I was able to make a reservation for over 50 people at relatively short notice. After a short consultation, Mr. Pop even designed a special card for us. That evening I was very impressed by how quickly everything went. Everyone immediately had something to drink and could order their food. Mr. Pop himself was there for us the whole time and organized everything perfectly with his team. Across the board, everyone said that the Spiessgele was beautifully located in Nuremberg's old town, that they enjoyed being in such a traditional restaurant and that the food was really, really good. So if you want to spend a nice evening with a larger group or have a good meal in a rustic restaurant, this is the right place for you! I can absolutely recommend it.

Very nice old restaurant, the kitchens are too small, the preparation needs to be enlarged. Salad tasted like fish. Drinks good. Price performance ratio not acceptable! Make it better, ventilation is bad!

Beautiful, rustic Nuremberg inn. You can get all Nuremberg and Franconian specialties here. The scoop is particularly recommended. The price-performance ratio is right here.

Had a nice evening. Nice premises. Home cooking

Despite the large crowds, the service was very friendly and nice. The shovel was excellent. I can highly recommend it.

We've been there twice now and everything has always been perfect. Despite the large company, they still found a place for the 5 of us. We were informed right at the beginning that the company's food would be shot in 30 minutes and that the kitchen would therefore be at capacity, which would have (logically) delayed our meal, everyone was friendly and accommodating, food and hazelnut schnapps were super tasty. This meant I was able to keep my promise to my 4 guests that I knew a great restaurant ❤️

On a Saturday afternoon we were friendly shown to a table and served immediately. The drinks and food came very quickly and were very tasty. Previously, we had waited in vain for 20 minutes for service at the Bratwurst Röslein. Everything was great at the Philistine!

I've traveled a lot, but this was some of the best German cuisine I've ever eaten! The dumplings had an excellent consistency, with brown butter, served with Schäufele and knuckles, so tender that the meat almost fell off the bone, and the gingerbread sauce was of the highest quality. Add a red beer and we were in culinary paradise. :) Our next trip to Nuremberg will 100% take us back into the circle!

We were looking forward to a great Easter meal and were unfortunately extremely disappointed by the kitchen and the restaurant manager. Legitimate complaints about a terribly lumpy sauce were not addressed. The nice waiter was only allowed to offer us coffee or schnapps. But that didn't help us. When the restaurant management again kindly asked if they could please accommodate us with the bill, they simply said that it was too complicated to give a discount on the bill, so we had to pay in full and were very annoyed by this lack of insight. Ergo, no quality control when sending the food and no insight or accommodation. Service is spelled differently than here. We would never come back.

It was very good, but one dumpling was much too small. In a decent Franconian restaurant I also expect decent dumplings. Especially for the price. I can highly recommend the Spiessgelen beer.

The restaurant is fully recommended! The food was very tasty and the price was reasonable. The service was first class and quick. The needs of a family with an infant were also addressed in a very attentive and friendly manner.

A very good Franconian restaurant, the dishes are typical of the region. The apfelstrudel was excellent. The restaurant has a beautiful terrace, very well located.

Very nice restaurant with delicious food and very nice staff. We will be back!

Suitable for larger groups and especially tourists. Simple, traditional local cuisine is offered. The acoustics quickly lead to an almost unpleasant noise level, especially in large groups.

Franconian tourist cuisine. The very expensive robber's skewer was tough and very little. Unfortunately the beer is from Tucher-Bräu and is very expensive.

The atmosphere and food are good, but there are some issues with the service.

Good, regional food in a fitting ambience. What is particularly positive is the very friendly service. Fast and courteous.

Super delicious food to recommend 👍😋

We ate relatively early at the restaurant in the old town, and while we were waiting for our meal, there were little mice running around, which (all problems in the old town) was quite interesting.

Tasty, but loud in the restaurant and felt like mass processing. But to be expected in a central tourist location and during the Christmas market

I liked the place, the kindness of the waiter and the food, I don't know what else I could say about a restaurant where I felt comfortable; typical cuisine, average prices.

Expensive, lukewarm food not particularly pleasing to the eye served. The price-performance ratio is not right.🥲

Recommended... costs a euro or two more, but is ok due to the city center location. Very nice staff, parking spaces are rather scarce. Reservations are recommended during peak meal times...

Very nice restaurant in the center of Nuremberg! The traditional dishes are really tasty, good beer, fast service.

Rustic, home-style. The chef keeps what the menu promises. The classic Schäufele is a must.

Good Franconian cuisine, large portions. Attentive service

The food leaves much to be desired. The Scheufele I ordered was not entirely fresh...

I was meeting friends there while on a diet, so couldn't eat there and thought I'd support the business and not just order tap water, like I probably would have if I'd have had food. But €11.70 for 3 still waters! Should have checked the menu and switched to tab water after 1, but honestly, who expects 1.2l of water to be more expensive than a bottle of wine in a supermarket! I've learned my lesson.

Nice restaurants and the food was super delicious.

There were four of us and thanks to reservations we had a nice place. It got pretty crowded in the evening, but the atmosphere was still right, just a little louder. The food was very good. The friendly and attentive waiter was just as great. Definitely recommended.

Located in the heart of Nuremberg, a restaurant without infamy or praise. Service (passive-) aggressive, food okay. There are definitely better Franconian restaurants in town, but this one is also passable

There were a large group of us there, the food and service were fine, everything was good, you can't do the Nuremberg classics yourself.

Was there for a professional dinner. It's just a tourist restaurant with corresponding prices. The sauerbraten costs just under €20 and consists of a bit of roast pork and a dumpling and sauce (you can get the same quality much cheaper elsewhere). Red cabbage has to be ordered separately for around €4. The red cabbage wasn't brought to me, but was still added to the bill. The waitress also seemed very impatient when it came to taking orders (little time to look through the menu). As a local resident I wouldn't go here privately, I'll leave that to the tourists.

Zur Weihnachtszeit im kleinen Innenhof einfach urig und gemütlich

Sehr gute Gaststätte in Nürnberg Am Hauptmarkt. Nette Bedienung, gutes Fränkische Essen, besonders gut die Nürnberger Würstchen. Sehr schönes Ambiente

Läd zum verweilen ein. Essen bürgerlich und gut. Preise ok.

Essen lecker und ausreichend Bier schmeckt auch gut Ein Stern Abzug: Kellner hatte ein Bier zu viel berechnet, wurde auf umgehend nach unserem Hinweis korrigiert und etwas teuer

Sehr schönes Restaurant, sehr leckerer Spießbraten! Trotz eines voll besetzten Lokals zum 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag waren alle Essen frisch zubereitet und der Service schnell und freundlich! Gerne wieder! 👌🏼
