Zum Stift in Kempten (Allgäu)

Good food, friendly and attentive waiter

Very good food for an honest price, friendly and open staff. I'd love to come back.

Nice, clean, very good food and friendly staff.

Although the restaurant was fully booked, it was spontaneously possible to sit down at a regular table because I was alone. Super nice staff and the knuckle was a dream. Absolute recommendation 👍

This is real tavern culture that you can almost only find in Bavaria. Class! Fast and friendly service and good, hearty food. I would like to go there again.

Very tasty food, from the homemade fried onions to the homemade Maultaschen to the very good meat, highly recommended. Service quick, friendly and very accommodating.

Was received very friendly. Uncomplicated. Very good regional food. Gladly again

Very nice service and really delicious food. The rustic ambience rounds the whole thing off perfectly.

Excellent food, very friendly and attentive service, spacious rooms. Allergy-related special requests were also optimally fulfilled. Thank you very much!

Went there with the family after starting school. Food was very good 👍 The waitresses looked very stressed and they weren't joking when they made a joke or joke.

Well-kept old inn in the best Location! We ordered the Viennese style schnitzel and a Kaiserschmarrn 4 times and couldn't find anything wrong with it! It was just good, as we expected. The visit rounded off your holiday in the Allgäu! Our two large dogs were also allowed to sit in the dining room and were served by the staff for their good behavior! Very nice service. Thanks for that! Parking in public spaces only with a parking ticket.

Staff was great, our waiter provided great service because the food wasn't correct. (Red cabbage only tasted like fat, the knuckle was dry and only lukewarm.) New dish offered to make up for it, schnapps on the house.

I hadn't booked (and it was full) but they sat me at a large table together with 4 other naive people like me, fully satisfying my desire to dine in this beautiful historic place with typical local dishes, including excellent (obviously) beer.

Good + also unusual food (beetroot carpaccio, visually + taste great) and beer at fair prices in a beautiful house with the same ambience.

Food very tasty. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Food was great and plentiful. Price is right

Very good food, top service. Always happy again. Thank you.

Great inn. Very nice beer garden. Had a Wiener Schnitzel - very tasty 😋. Also always the other dishes (e.g. currywurst, roasts of all kinds). I always like to come back.

Had Flädlesuppe and Kässpatzen. Were very good, we got a table for two straight away. I actually thought that the Kässpatzen in the Allgäu would be spicier, but I personally prefer it that way anyway. I'd love to come back

Were in transit very friendly, eat very quickly and really very tasty and very nice inside

Mega tasty, inexpensive and good service.

Great beer garden, great staff and delicious food!

Very good food, very fast service and very friendly service.

Despite the inn being fully reserved, we were offered a place at the regulars' table. Which we gratefully accepted. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The food is simply amazing. I can only warmly recommend this inn. Top.

Very good food, great service. The only drawback: very loud. But that's normal for places like this

Good traditional Bavaria freehouse. Great and authentic local food.

Very good and very traditional atmosphere

The young receptionist was cool and curt, but not unfriendly. The waiter was very warm and friendly (but not fake friendly), and he had a sense of when to speak to us and when not. At the beginning the ambience was a bit loud, as someone at the next table shouted his self-important sayings across three tables; After that, the volume level was quite acceptable. The menu offers a wide selection of very attractive dishes, making it difficult to choose. The prices aren't exactly great, but everything has become more expensive and we're in Kempten (I can't compare the prices with other restaurants, though). The food came quickly. My Allgäu plate was wonderful and very plentiful, and the person opposite me also obviously enjoyed his crusty roast (he had recommended the pen). The Allgäu platter says “pork fillet” on the menu. There were THREE fillets - considerable quantity and tender as butter. The only point of criticism (but that's complaining at the highest level): A "mushroom cream ragout" is plenty of mushrooms with a little sauce, and not a sauce with very few mushrooms. This sauce also tasted very good, although given the otherwise excellent quality of the food I would have expected fresh mushrooms rather than canned ones. Bottom line: absolute recommendation!

Went for dinner with a bus group. From the reservation to the meal, everything was completely satisfactory. The service was super friendly and nice.

A very good address for local cuisine. Impeccable service, very polite and friendly. Delicious food with generous portions. Special mention for the Kaiserschmarrn dessert 😍😍😍

Ate extraordinarily well. Clear recommendation for this restaurant

A great dining experience...again at any time

We always come back to the monastery and always eat well. Anyone looking for a down-to-earth, delicious meal will find something to their taste here. Depending on the season, there are also great variations such as pumpkin dishes etc. There are also vegetarian and even vegan dishes. A reservation is an advantage.

The hot dishes were delicious. The apple strudel was unfortunately sticky. There's a lot going on there, it seems stressful; Nevertheless, we spontaneously got a table for six of us.

We have already celebrated our wedding there and it is always a great experience.

Nice Bavarian restaurant with great service with lederhosen or traditional dress.

Very tasty food. Great service!

We had made a reservation and the restaurant was very busy. Service worked smoothly and quickly, staff was nice and friendly, food was good and plentiful.

You get something for your money there. Cozy inn, great ambience, excellent cuisine. Highly recommended.

Delicious food. Nice ambience. Will definitely come back!

Sehr zentral am größten Platz der Stadt gelegenes großes Gasthaus in historischen Räumen, sehr schöne Außensitzplätze auch unter alten Bäumen, große sehr bayrische Speisekarte, sehr schmackhaftes Essen, moderate Preise, tolles Bier, sehr freundliche Bedienung, sehr angenehme Lokation, sehr zu empfehlen !!

A place recommended in every respect, good food and beautiful rooms.

Absolutely recommended! The food was excellent. The service was first class: attentive, friendly and professional. We were particularly impressed by how dog-friendly the restaurant is. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty home-style food! Super fast and very friendly service! Nice outdoor area and rustic indoor restaurant. All around authentic and very well maintained.

Service very mixed. Male service courteous and friendly. One of the burly female conditions is rather subterranean. We swapped the beer table in the beer garden because of the sun. The whole garden was empty. Yes, the table was reserved...for 12:30! The change took place at 10:30! One drink at a time will finish you off. In any case, the reservation was pointed out in 2 hours in an extremely rude and bossy manner. He stood up in front of us and tapped the reservation slip with his outstretched finger and pointed out the reservation in 2 hours in an extremely unfriendly manner. So they'll never see the six of us again. Cheers to Kempten’s “top gastronomy”.

Zum Stift is like a typical brewery. The food is good and the service is good considering the size of the restaurant. The only thing we have to complain about is the volume because of the mass of people, conversation is not possible.

Just like it should be in a brewery. Hearty, tasty, friendly.

Really cool restaurant. Service with lederhosen or traditional dress. Giant wooden board for serving food Super delicious food

Very good food Service very friendly Simply completely satisfied!!!

Since a previous 1 star review was deleted by a mass-generated lawyer email, I will explain my experiences at the pen in more detail here. The selection of vegetarian dishes was quite limited on my last visit, especially in comparison to the rest of the menu, which is very meat-heavy. Furthermore, some of the vegetarian dishes are very "special" and are based little or not at all on the other menu, for example vegetarian ones could also be available Maultaschen or Krautkrapfen (without bacon) are offered. The waitresses were quite stressed, even though there were hardly any guests there and the guests felt this too... Customer-oriented service is different. The good reviews can only be explained by the generated deletion of the bad ones

Great food, nice service, everything as it should be.

Unfortunately, not for the first time, we weren't served at all. We sat in the beer garden for about a quarter of an hour, there was eye contact with the service staff, but when that didn't persuade them to ask us if we would like anything, we tried to draw attention to ourselves again with hand signals. We were definitely noticed several times and any staff with at least a sufficient service mentality would have known what to do. It wasn't so full that anyone could understand that. So we left the store after 15 minutes. To be honest, I personally have never experienced such poor service anywhere else in Kempten. It's actually a shame because I used to enjoy going to the pen, but the way things have developed over the last few years, that was the last time. The positive thing is that there are enough - very good - alternatives.

The food was very, very tasty. The service was also very nice and accommodating. Unfortunately you can't give more than 5 stars.

Traditional inn with a large beer garden. Food was OK but unfortunately most of it was pre-cooked because it was served too quickly to be freshly prepared.

Schöner Biergarten, leider saßen wir bereits 20 Minuten bis der Kellner die Bestellung aufgenommen hat. Obwohl kaum Besucher im Biergarten waren. Da es im Außenbereich leider kalt wurde und ein Wechsel gewünscht war,war dies nur unter Umständen möglich also blieben wir draussen sitzen. Bis das Essen kam,dauerte es erneut 55 min. Schade,aber nicht wieder.

The food was very tasty and inexpensive. I would definitely do it again

Excellent restaurant with very friendly service staff. The food is very good and not overpriced.

Nice beer garden under the trees, very good service, good knuckle. Recommended.

Simply beautiful and delicious.

Very large portion, nice friendly welcome

Friendly service, good quality food, a good recommendation

Very nice location, very nice service and delicious food at reasonable prices 👍

Inn with a beautiful, shady beer garden. Good food at reasonable prices.

Beautiful and large beer garden. Large chestnut trees provide shade in summer. Quaint and cozy atmosphere.

Except for the food, which wasn't good or original, it was fine (I had onion roast and my partner had cheese spaetzle). Tip for the chef: go out to eat in other restaurants and realize that there is still a lot of catching up to do.

Typical Bavarian brewery, good food, excellent beer, welcoming and friendly staff.

Together with several colleagues we were in the beer garden on a beautiful summer day. Nobody really noticed at first - but later we got our order. After waiting for over an hour, our food arrived, which was quite decent and good. After eating we had to pay attention again so we could (finally) pay.

Resolute Bavarian service. Delicious beer and tasty food. We ate crusty roast meat and pork shanks.

Nice restaurant on Stiftsplatz in the immediate vicinity of the basilica. Food was good. Service was quick and friendly even though it was very busy.

This is how you imagine a hearty inn 👍 Delicious food at good prices in a rustic atmosphere.

We were there for lunch. The menu is great. There is traditional cuisine that tastes very delicious. We were thrilled. Service and staff were also friendly, despite it being busy.

Super tasty onion roast, with fries if desired, was a poem!! Great rooms inside and outside (beer garden), everything is well maintained. Staff seemed stressed

Deliciously tasted was a very good recommendation from the Haeberlen car dealership.

Locale moderno e piacevole, personale gentile, cibo buono ma non memorabile. Prezzi abbastanza allineati al contesto.

We were there with a coach with 60 people with disabilities and seniors, We had lunch and were all very full within an hour. We came back in the afternoon to eat coffee and apple strudel and what can I say, it was just a dream. Very good cuisine, great service. And very importantly, everything is handicapped accessible.

Beautiful place, too bad it's no longer possible to have dinner at 9pm!

Abundant, delicious food. Pleasant environment.

Good food at reasonable prices. You feel welcome.

Everything great. Fast and super tasty food. Service was super nice.

Very friendly staff. Food fresh and good

Nice restaurant with a great beer garden and the staff is very nice. We enjoyed the food very much, we can recommend it

Richtig gutes Essen. Reiche Auswahl an diversen Speissen. Essen kommt innerhalb kurzer Zeit auch bei gut besuchten Gasthof.

Very good service, best food at the whole table. There were eight of us and everyone was happy. Good value for money

Very nice atmosphere, friendly service, it was well attended - but still not as loud as in a train station! My white sausage was excellent, delicious beers. Gladly again at any time!

We were in Kempten one evening on our way to South Tyrol and stopped here. The atmosphere in the beer garden is quite cozy, the food and beer were very tasty! We would come back at any time! The service was also friendly and quick, even though all the tables were occupied. The food also came promptly.

A very nice Bavarian economy. With a rustic atmosphere and a large beer garden. The staff is friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and the portions are big enough. Beer is great too... It was essential to make a reservation in the beer garden, but we also got a table outside.

Unfortunately, the risotto didn't taste like anything and was very expensive.

It was quite crowded outside, so we sat inside in a comfortable seating area. Nice service, the food came quite quickly and was consistently delicious. One of the best Kaiserschmarrn we've ever had, the rest was really good too.

Wir saßen im schönen Biergarten. Das Essen war durch die Bank ausgezeichnet. Wir hatten Kässpatzen, Schweizer Wurstsalat und einen Beilagensalat. Alles nur zu empfehlen.

Beautiful outside garden where you can sit. Once you have made a reservation you can sit at the small tables in the middle of the garden. If you don't make a reservation, you will end up sitting at large "beer tables", so it is also possible that you will have guests at your table that you do not know. The portions are generous, and the glasses of drinks are large by Dutch standards.

The food was pretty good, it was very typical “Allgäu”. i really enjoyed the food, it was just a little pricey and not the BEST i’ve ever had. The service was good and the waitress was very polite. they seemed very stressed and hence some of the other waitresses seemed a little passive, but again it was a really nice summer day so it made sense that it got really busy. we did really love how big the drinks were. we ordered two “schorlen” and they came in really big glasses. it was extremely hot and therefore we appreciated that a lot! the bathroom was really clean it was in the basement though so i’m not sure if they have another one that’s wheelchair accessible. therefore i’d recommend calling them and asking in advance if that is something that you need. thank you for the great food!

very good food, nice location, friendly staff

Friendly service, very accommodating and quick. Great ambience and chic furnishings. Food was very tasty and good portion sizes. Despite very high utilization, very fast service and top quality.

Wonderful place to have good food and drink. The holiday beer tasted very good and all the dishes were tasty and plentiful. Price performance definitely fits here. Service was very good and the beer garden invited you to linger. We stopped in Kempten on the way to Italy and ate there. We liked it so much that we stopped there again on the way back. They were two lovely stays. Highly recommended, gladly again.

Sit outside, view of the church, good food, humorous service

The outdoor area is pretty enjoyable. Food was quite nice. The pork knuckle was crispy enough to break in the mouth. Challenged with parking as the paid lots nearby are pretty small. The billing process was too slow to get it done and go. In-house Wifi is required a password from staff but it is not really working well.

Fantastic place! Came in on a Saturday evening at around 7 PM and found a table instantly. It was just left by the previous occupiers, but the waitress was there in an instant to clear the table. Asked (in English, which wasn't a problem) what the local beer was and was given several options. The first round came promptly. The food came after about 15 minutes and it was a huge portion and bloody delicious! Sat at the table for another hour just drinking beer (since there was always a table free) and there was no hassle to get the table, we were just able to sit and enjoy great beer at a great place, in a great city on a perfect summer night. If I ever find myself in Kempten again, I know for sure where I'll come for my beer and food!

Ate currywurst with fries, super tasty and highly recommended. Service was friendly and the beer garden was very ideal.

Food and drink good and plentiful, reasonably priced. Service good. Beer garden and guest rooms quite comfortable.

Thoroughly great! From food to celebratory beer. Nice and funny service 🙂 The honey apricot schnapps is incredibly good! We recommend! Gladly again!

Super tasty food, great & friendly service and a good location! The noise of some cars is a bit annoying if you're sitting right on the road, but it's probably better further back! We recommend!
