Zum Szültenbürger in Göttingen

Hearty food. Excellent beer. Popular.

The finest German home cooking at a fair price! 🇩🇪

Nice place with good, traditional food. It was busy, but the service was attentive and everything ran smoothly! Highly recommended.

We'd gladly come back again. We were lucky to get a table spontaneously. It's always very busy, so it's better to make a reservation. The food is also very good.

We always enjoy going to Szülte. The prices are absolutely reasonable, and the portions are generous; no one goes hungry. They even have special menus for seniors and children, which are available at affordable prices. Plus, the service is always quick and friendly.

Very crowded, make a reservation! The schnitzel is very good, and the service is good and direct! It's not advisable to sit outside because the drug addicts are annoying.

High-quality food, generous portions, and a very reasonable price. Unfortunately, it only gets 4 stars because of the noise. This somewhat ruins the overall concept. Acoustic mats on the ceiling would probably help.

Without a reservation, we quickly got a seat within 10 minutes. Even though it was very busy, as usual. The food was very good, there was something for everyone, and the value for money was absolutely perfect. Thanks again for table 13 and the birthday present 🎁😉

Super nice rustic restaurant, if you like to eat a lot, this is the right place

We went there spontaneously with a large group. Excellent service, very good food!

Unfortunately, I don't think my chicken was cooked well! But you couldn't see through the sauce. I couldn't enjoy it.

The food was delicious and the portions were generous. I highly recommend it.

We had a great time! With local specialties :)

You can eat well for €20. A beer and a good meal, quick and tasty. I recommend it for good, local food.

I went with my family. Excellent food, huge portions, and great prices. I'll definitely go back. We ate really well.

The food is absolutely delicious, the portions are very generous, and the staff takes great care of you. Highly recommended.

The tuna salad was huge. It felt like a main course, not a starter. Everything was super fresh. Special requests were happily accommodated. The salad was without olives, I ordered more dressing, and the ham hock with dumplings instead of fried potatoes. The portions were very generous, and the prices were great. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We felt very comfortable. Very rustic, cozy... lots of woodwork, cozy decor...

Magnificent, both the service (super attentive, friendly, and very fast) and the food. We ordered four different dishes, and they were all delicious and filling. 100% recommended.

The food was good, once we got the right dish. The service had a few language barriers, but everything was totally satisfactory.

We were there as a family, and our food was forgotten three times. After waiting for 1.5 hours, we finally got it when we asked directly in the kitchen. But the restaurant responded superbly, and the solution means we'll definitely be back! And it was delicious, too.

Insider Tip: - Huge and delicious schnitzels! (See photo: regular, not the XL 😉) - Huge selection - Friendly staff - Excellent value for money (very affordable) - I would recommend reserving a table in advance, as it gets quite busy...

Great cozy restaurant - rustic and beautiful

What a shame! Unfortunately, the restaurant has changed hands. We always enjoyed coming here, but now it's not as convincing. The portions are huge, but the seasoning is unfortunately very bland. The staff are mostly unintelligible, and you have to repeat every question because the language barrier is so great. They're singing loudly in a different language in the kitchen. When it came to paying, we weren't asked whether we ate together or separately; the bill was simply placed on the table. It's a real shame; you won't be happy with your high expectations here, unfortunately.

I ordered the Jägerschnitzel with mushroom cream sauce, and it was amazing! This definitely won't be my last visit☺️🙏🏼

I really enjoy visiting the Szültenbürger restaurant. The food here is simply honest! The portions are large, the quality is good, and the prices are fair. I also have to say that the way the schnitzels are prepared is excellent. Large, thin, and crispy... That's how it should be. The only downside: It's always full because it's so good.

I can't understand the predominantly positive reviews. Except for the classic "Wiener-style" schnitzel, the food was a huge disappointment – ​​the chicken cordon bleu was inedible (see picture). The only positive thing to mention is the friendly service.

Cult restaurant in Göttingen. Many schnitzel dishes with huge portions

Some people I asked around on the street recommended it to me. And it was the best thing I found in this beautiful city.

Hopefully, this lovely restaurant doesn't go under and the good, traditional food doesn't lose its soul. The food was okay. I didn't really understand the service. The dish I wanted was unfortunately no longer available, which I only found out 15 minutes after ordering. It's a shame. They reacted well, though, and got another salad (though not the freshest, unfortunately). Then they gave me the wrong bill, and I was asked to pay the amount verbally without an invoice. Fingers crossed that things will improve and that this is an exception. It's only a shame as a visitor/guest of Göttingen.

Our food arrived an hour late. The orders of people who came after us were delivered before ours. I can understand the workload, but at the very least, an apology could have been offered. Instead, we were just told, “We’re busy.” Even though the food was tasty, my rating is 0.

Traditional German architecture. Generous portions and friendly staff.

Good atmosphere, fast service, huge dishes.

Edit 5 Sept 2025: careful of over-charge. I downgraded the service to 1 star as they trick you on the charge. I reviewed the receipt the next day, and it appears that the restaurant overcharged the number of beers we drank. We ordered two dishes and two pints of beer. They charged four beers. You must check receipts here. You dont speak german then they trick you in this restaurant. Be very vigilant!!! Family of three visit for a pint of beer and schnitzel. A great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is tasty and salty enough for pints of beer. Price is reasonable and portions are hearty. They provided Yager Meister type shots as service at the end. Awesome! I would visit again!

The Stefans, Michaels, and Dirks sit in the crowded dining room and are served schnitzel, beer, and other meat dishes in copious quantities. Does a home-style schnitzel require a local chef? Apparently not. Otherwise, the chefs at the Szülzenbürger restaurant seem to be a bit too generous with the traditional virtues of "fatty" and "salty." Even the vegetables are dripping with fat. Despite that (or perhaps because of that?), it's delicious. And because Michel likes to eat fatty, salty, and a lot, and at a reasonable price, the restaurant is also busy (to the point of being overcrowded). That service and hygiene are somewhat lacking in this overcrowded restaurant... never mind. The main thing is a lot and a reasonable price.

Enjoyed a schnitzel meal with a side of saurkraut. Charming outdoor seating with the natural beauty of this town surrounding us. I would return to this town again and eat here again.

The menu is brimming with meat dishes—schnitzel in every imaginable variation, steaks, pork medallions. Everything is delicious, except for the fried potatoes, which are simply hot potato slices...there's room for improvement there. What I particularly like is that the prices are fair; you don't feel like you're being ripped off or taken advantage of, so you'll gladly return and even recommend the place. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Very good service, top-notch food at a really reasonable price (around €15-€16). Bring your appetite, as the portions are large. The background music and restrooms are also very satisfactory.

Yes, nice staff. Food very rich and very good

Great place if you are visiting germany and would like to try the german cuisine!

The food is excellent and plentiful. I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu because there's so much to choose from. They also offer salad with your meal at no extra charge. Highly recommended.

First things first: We were seated on the upper floor. Food: Good schnitzel. Croquettes: soft, lifeless, from a packet. Cucumber salad: probably not homemade. White sauce: definitely not homemade. Caution: The Gordon Bleue served has nothing to do with a Cordon Bleue. A clean menu would have helped make the letters easier to read in the dim lighting. Atmosphere: Too loud. Too cramped. Too dirty, which has nothing to do with coziness or a rustic ambiance: the table we were assigned was littered with food scraps, the cheap paper coasters were covered in grease, and we had to ask for someone to wipe the table ourselves. The menu was greasy and crumpled, which led me to misread the name of one of the dishes and therefore think I was getting a Cordon Bleue. The Gordon Bleue served, however, bore no resemblance to what I had imagined. What a pity. A real plus point for the service: they offered a discount and a shot of schnapps.

I always love coming here. The service is fast, friendly, and always courteous—you just feel welcome. The schnitzels are excellent: crispy, tender, and served in generous portions. The wide selection, which even includes poultry, is particularly nice. The value for money matches this, which is truly excellent.

Large portions, very tasty, fast service 🤗

Great selection (but very meat-heavy), large portions, very tasty, fair prices, fast service

Wednesday night was crowded but got a table for 2 right away. The rinderroulade (#39) and the cream gravy schnitzel (#55), VERY DELICIOUS, good portions! Love the old German ambiance. The service was attentive. So happy we came here!

Sure. Great food for a good price. Very good service.

Fast service and a large portion at a fair price. I would have liked to reorder, but unfortunately, I wasn't even asked. The bill also took a long time. The waiter reached into the glasses while clearing them. A shame.

Homely cooking. Large portions at reasonable prices. The food is delicious. Cocktails and long drinks are also very good. The staff is very friendly. We will definitely come back.

Due to the large number of guests, paying took a little longer. Otherwise, the restaurant is highly recommended.

Simply very generous portions for a great price. Highly recommended if you want to eat schnitzel at a good restaurant. Very friendly staff.

Super delicious, prices totally reasonable, I can only recommend it, really great, thank you for the great food.

Very, very tasty. Price-performance ratio full points

The schnitzel was oversized, but there was definitely too much béchamel sauce on the vegetables, and the schnitzel was drenched in fat. Unfortunately, my companion also returned the entire Maultaschen portion because they were all swimming in fat. The side salad was very meager and tasteless. No idea why the place was packed... You'll never see us there again!!!!

A restaurant focused on home-style cooking with a large selection of schnitzels. The portions are generous and filling. The side salad unfortunately lacks any dressing, such as yogurt, and the quantity could be larger and more varied. The wait was reasonable despite all tables inside and outside being fully booked. A salad plate to help pass the time would have been appreciated. The beer was okay, but could have been a bit colder. The house croquettes were something different, but obviously made in an air fryer and therefore unfortunately not as crispy on the outside. Overall, though, it was satisfactory. I would gladly return. The prices are reasonable.

The food is delicious, and the portions are truly filling. 😁 The prices are more than reasonable. A top-notch restaurant.

I was there with my mother today. The waitress didn't really understand us at first and spoke very poor German, but otherwise she was nice. The food took a relatively long time, but it was completely inedible! My Maultaschen were literally swimming in oil. They could have been fried, but the man there said they were just boiled... Aha! My mother's schnitzel was huge, but also overly greasy and completely inedible. All in all, apart from the oil, the food was okay. 😬 By the way, the side dish was frozen.

Food was really good, the service was a bit slow but all in all a solid restaurant

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent cuisine and loyalty to traditions. A place that is definitely worth visiting.

Don't understand how this can be so good for so many?? A tasteless snitchel that looks like toast.. ham sauce and cheese were just baked into the snitchel the potatoes were dry.. You don't even deserve a star. Shame on you.

Delicious traditional German cuisine. Good value for money and very attentive, friendly service. A must-visit in Göttingen!

Everything was super delicious :)

I made a reservation for two people. I had to wait over 15 minutes outside the door to get a table at a cocktail bar across the street with electronic music. I left right away. It's a good thing I reserved in advance xD

"Always a delight! The portions are generous, the quality of the food is impressive, and the value for money is simply spot on. A clear recommendation for anyone who appreciates good food at fair prices."

The food was delicious and plentiful. We'll definitely go back 👍

We've been coming here for years. The ambiance and the food are truly impressive—especially, but not exclusively, the spare ribs and the holiday specials. What stands out, however, is the portion size (especially given the price), which would certainly feed two people. The only reason we lose one star is because the service staff could be a bit friendlier and less lackadaisical. Nevertheless, this restaurant is a must-visit for everyone.

No, my wife had fillet with chanterelles and spaetzle. The fillet was overcooked, the chanterelles were too salty, and the spaetzle were mushy! I had the gourmet pan with fillet, vegetables, and fried potatoes. Some of the fried potatoes were still raw, and the fillet was also overcooked! I do not recommend this restaurant!

Homely cuisine (with a focus on schnitzel in all its variations) with an international staff and clientele. A good atmosphere, but perhaps a little too loud for some.

We recently had lunch here. It was our first time here. The food was good and the portions were large.

Absolutely disgusting. I was really disappointed. I got my food, but it was the wrong one. I returned it and got a new one, although I had seen it came from a few tables away because someone there had gotten my food. Of course, after I tried it, it was already cold. When I tried it, I was told it couldn't be cold, it was completely fresh. Absolutely outrageous. The taste wasn't great either, and the fries tasted of old grease. The waitresses were completely overwhelmed and incompetent. Sometimes you couldn't even understand what you were saying, or they didn't understand you. The restrooms are a complete disaster: dirty, filthy, and clogged. I'll never go to this place again!

We've been waiting for almost an hour and a quarter

The atmosphere is great and the food is delicious!!!

If you're really hungry, this is the place to go. The food was delicious and plentiful.

In short: Great price, great food. Unfortunately, the service took a while to pay. Don't order an XXL schnitzel, it's impossible.

The best spare ribs of my life…I would give them 10 stars 👍

Very good snitzel, nice atmosphere, Recommended

If I ever come back to Göttingen, I definitely won't go anywhere else! 😋

The food was so good and tasty and the portion was large, just delicious 😋 we'll be back.

Incredibly large portions, and the food tastes really good, too. Despite being full, the staff was very friendly and efficient.

Super delicious food in very large quantities at reasonable prices.

Huge and delicious food in the city center of Göttingen.

Today I went there as my 4th time. Unfortunately the chicken schnitzel was very very thick and in the middle it wasn't cooked properly! So I asked the waitress to take care of it. But after 30 min nothing! I asked her again and she had totally forgotten about it! I waited again and nothing! Asked another waiter and he was clueless as the other one! Overall after 45 min waiting nothing happened! So disappointed by the service!

Since Göttingen's city center doesn't exactly boast a particularly large number of dining options, and the food was okay, it's a good place to eat. However, on the day of our visit, the service was overwhelmed. It was the first time I had to wait in line to pay the bill after a quarter of an hour without a waiter coming by. That really left a lasting impression.

It's more of a mass-production operation, and the schnitzels were very mediocre. The fact that so many people supposedly like it... scares me a bit. It's definitely not possible to have a comfortable and delicious meal here.

Pleasant atmosphere, very friendly service, who never loses track of what's going on, even when the place is full. Delicious food at very fair prices and with really generous portions. Even when all the tables are full, you're served quickly. Considering the size of the schnitzels, it's almost crazy that you can order them in XXL... If you're still hungry and have plenty of the delicious food left over, you'll automatically be offered a box to take home.

July 12, 2025 First impression (snapshot): Nothing German, mostly in Asian hands. The food was nice, but a very brief interlude. They advertised non-alcoholic wheat beer on tap – but it wasn't available today, or at least not in general. I can't say what the food was like; I never got around to it. It was very disappointing.

Very friendly service, delicious food, and great value for money! A rustic inn!

I had a small portion (a senior's plate). The schnitzel was huge, but the side dishes (potatoes and salad) weren't as big.

The service is good, the atmosphere is friendly, and there is a fair balance between the quality and price of the food.

Amazing find. Good food at good prices. Massive portions so you had better be hungry or share a plate!!!

A great, rustic restaurant where value for money is right. Portions are large and delicious.

Delicious food, large portions, and fair prices. I love going here! :)

Definitely recommended. The food is very good!!! The value for money is also good. We always enjoy coming here.

Basically, 6 stars everywhere. Fast, friendly, and delicious, well organized, and great value for money. If you want good, proper German food, this is the place for you.

Really great food at very good prices.

Very attentive and friendly staff. Good, home-style cooking with generous portions. All in all, highly recommended. 👍🏼

Good value for money, large portion. But unfortunately, the food was very blandly seasoned. Yes, I did add more seasoning, but something was still missing. Since the portion size was very large, we wanted to take EVERYTHING with us: the side dish, salad, vegetables, and even the sauce. We specifically stated that we wanted everything (we pay for everything, after all), but unfortunately, the above-mentioned items weren't included.

It's a nice restaurant in the old town of Göttingen. If you order schnitzel, it comes with vegetables and potatoes, and the portion is so big that two people can order one and still have some leftover.

No, you won't find nouvelle cuisine with a lot of frills here. Instead, you will find decent German cuisine that will fill you up and at reasonable prices. The service is truly sensational, fast, and incredibly attentive. And the kitchen is just as impressive. The organization is absolutely exceptional, and the (fresh) food is on the table in no time. It brings tears to your eyes when you think back to so many other establishments. Even the skyrocketing beer prices are still within reason here.

Always delicious, great schnitzel

Huge portions at reasonable prices, local cuisine.
