A super inconspicuous restaurant with a super ingenious cuisine. The dishes are all very, very tasty and change daily (Tuesday is a day off). The service ladies are very attentive and accommodating. All dishes are freshly prepared and are not pre-prepared or convenience. You can't beat the prices for the menus. Simply madness. We can only recommend the restaurant!

We were here for a weekend. We liked it very much. The price-performance ratio is excellent, both the room prices and the food and drinks. We are from Thuringia, but the homemade dumplings are a poem. The rest of course too. The location is very good and the place offers many hiking opportunities. The rooms are simply but clean and comfortably furnished. Thank you very much. PS We're always happy to support an inn like this, because there won't be that many anymore soon. See some regions in Thuringia.

Very good Franconian cuisine and very nice and hard-working service. If it's full, there may be a longer wait, but that shouldn't be a problem on vacation!! You can be happy that there are still such cozy and rustic restaurants! We've already eaten here twice and would love to come back. A clear recommendation for us!!

We stayed at the inn for three days with a group. The operators were super friendly, the food was sensational, the atmosphere was familiar and the prices were more than fair. The rooms simple but good. Clear recommendation and six stars

Beautifully located inn with a cozy beer garden. Very friendly service, home-style menu and delicious, homemade food. The schnitzels are freshly pounded and fried in the pan. Fair prices. Located right in the old town and near Gößweinstein Castle.

We sat down in the evening sun and had a great meal. The wild mushroom soup is a dream, with a lot of mushrooms in it. Main course pork knuckle with sauerkraut and potatoes and a pepper steak with fries. Very nice host.Gladly again!

We have been there four times now and were satisfied, decent Franconian cuisine at reasonable prices, breakfast could be a little more extensive.The boss and waitresses work hard and probably too much due to a lack of staff, and mistakes sometimes happen...Rooms are simple, but ok for two or three nights.The area has a lot to offer and as Berliners we would love to come back.Mr. Oliver W.'s assessment is cheeky, arrogant and styleless,the same way he most likely goes through life.We were there again 2 weeks ago, just great!
