Ordered a Pils and the Mixed Grill for dinner. The Pils tasted like the beer lines had not been cleaned in some time. As you can see in the picture the mixed grill was under whelming. The 8 little pieces of lettuce were on the plate for some unknown reason. The meat portions were small and slightly over cooked. No mustard, sauces or ketchup brought to the table. The older gentleman working which I assumed was the owner was pleasant. Would not come back or recommend when in Frankfurt.

I can't say how much we liked this place. The vibe is German, our server was an old gentleman his family own this place. 6 min walk from the central station. Do the walk and you will not regret it. He gave us great advice and we were in love and with full bellies. Go hungry. Posting picture of my meal and no shame ate 90% of it. Go go go go giggly recommend it

Wurst and mash, and Schweinshaxe. OMG it was delicious.

The food is great. This place is an institution there, and obviously been there a very long time. The service, well, it is run by a cranky older German man, but if you are very nice to him, you'll have a better time. I made sure my hotel called to insure I had a reservation, because even though you might wander in and think this is not the reservation type of place, it is. They got really busy right after we arrived. If you're looking for courtesy, go somewhere else but if you want amazing German food in Frankfurt, this is the joint. The Schweinshaxe was crazy good. It was worth humoring the grumpy owner to be allowed to eat. My Diet Coke was flat, no carbonation, (I don't drink, so no beer), but I wasn't going to complain. Think "soup man" from Seinfeld. The food is that good. Call ahead. Eat. Well. I'll go back next time, too. Best German food in Frankfurt.

Great restaurant for pork knuckle. Very crispy and lots of meat. Prices are reasonable. Owners serve you and are helpful if you don't know what to order. Of course, everybody including our group orders the schweinshaxe (pork knuckle).

Pork knuckle

My flight crew recommended coming to this restaurant because they've been coming here for years. Perfect and friendly service, English menu's, and the servers speak English too. The food was outstanding. I had the pork knuckle and my colleague had the pork cordon blue, both were excellent choices.

Pork knuckle. Fabulous

Found this restaurant on yelp and had a wonderful experience. Easy to find local restaurant with exceptionally good solid German food at very reasonable price. As a single diner was offered a table in bar area if I was open to share (didn't have to) but this is common practice in Europe. Showed a picture of what I wanted (pork knuckle) which was fabulous. Returned on my last night to try the jagerschnitzel ... yummy!

Slowly Roasted Pig Knuckle with Red Cabbage and mashed potatoes and creamy brown sauce.

This is the best restaurant in Frankfurt were locals eat. The best pig knuckle in Germany!!! Tasty platters and you must have the homemade apple streusel with vanilla ice cream.

This is my third time im Frankfurt and third time in this restaurant, and baseler eck is the place you must stop by and enjoy it whenever you are in Frankfurt. The pork knuckle is just too darn good and huge in portion, the cripy skin with super tender meat underneath it, if you're having a bad mood that day, this pork knuckle will knock every single bit of bad mood out from you. The service is very nice, the staffs and the owner are very polite, overall I have never encounter any rudeness mentioned in other comments. Love this place, you got to try it. Btw, the portion is really big, it might even be enough to serve 2.

Atschel - Wiener schnitzel with salad and potatoes

Great traditional German food. Got it off a recommendation from Rick Steve's book and it was…read moreperfect. Portions were huge and tasty. Beer was cold and tasty too. Schnitzel was on a potato pancake with cheese on top - wow! We sat out back on a perfect night. Shared a table in a family style setting. Get there early or book a reservation.

My first meal in Germany! After landing in Frankfurt, I was looking for a spot for lunch before…read morechecking into my hotel. I took a bus there so I can't comment on the parking situation in the area. Ambiance (4/5): From the outside, Atschel looks like a homey, traditional restaurant. Which is exactly what I was looking for when it cam to my first dining experience in Germany. There's a charming inside area with wooden walls as well as a patio area in the back. I sat inside. Drinks (4/5): Frankfurt is known for apelwein or apple wine. So when in Rome...I had the apelwein spritz which adds soda and Aperol. I will say that straight up apelwein is not my jam. It's nice to try while you're in Frankfurt, but it's too bitter and vinegar-ey for me. With that being said, when you mix it in with Aperol and soda, it's pretty solid. And if you're in a group, you can get the apelwein served in large stone mugs which is pretty cool. Outside of that, they have a lot of beer, as you would expect, and pretty much everything else. Service (4.5/5): I was pleasantly surprised with how friendly and attentive the service was (which is typically not the norm in Europe). Our waitress checked on me, thanked me and said goodbye as I was leaving, and overall, did a great job. Food (4/5): Since this is a traditional German restaurant, I had to go with another Frankfurt specialty: Viener schitznel with green sauce. Schnitzel just means a thin cutlet (often pork) that is breaded. The green sauce is made from seven herbs and while it's a tad bit herb-ey for my taste, it was still interesting to try. The dish is served with fried potatoes. Filling and hearty as you would expect from a German meal. For my first meal in Germany, it was a great start to my trip.

Opening at 5pm daily, the Biergarten entirely spoken for until 01h00 on the first Saturday of July, it was as a party of three that the heavily wooden interior was occupied while waitresses and kitchen worked diligently alongside a Bartender who must've poured 200 drinks over the course of an hour. Named after original proprietors Rosa Schreiber and her daughter Teni Heyne, their Sausage recipes still comprising roughly half of the Gaststätte menu, it was with sweet and sour Apple Wine from Rothenbücher in hand that "Cheers!" preceded first bites of Liver Dumpling Soup teaming with Salt and Scallions. Entirely regional dishes, none perhaps moreso than 'Handkas Mit Musik" with pungent Cheese bathed in Onion Vinaigrette and Carraway Seeds, it was alongside Rye Bread that bites were taken prior to Potato Sausage, boiled Spuds and herbaceous Quark. Losing a Frankfurter to translation, though there was no lack of Food thanks to generous portions, dinner culminated in golden Wienerschnitzel atop Fried Potatoes plus a Ramekin of Frankfurt's signature Green Sauce.

When in Germany you have to order Frankfurt specialties and stop by Apfelweinwirtschaft…read moreDauth-Schneider This spot is a rustic restaurant that has been around since 1850! It is a must try spot, their dishes with green sauce are everything. Outdoor seating available, older but clean indoor seating, staff is friendly and it does get busy so you may wait a bit for service but still timely manner. Worth the wait and the walk! What I ordered : -"Frankfurter Schnitzel" with green sauce and fried potatoes - Sachsenhäuser sausages platter with sauerkraut and bread

They have non-alcoholic apfelwein! Those who do not imbibe need not miss out. We dined inside as this was late October and it was too cool to sit outside. The interior is warm woods with communal tables. Make new friends and enjoy a good meal. We the pork shank and sausages. Really good. Loved the atmosphere. The staff were great. Not everyone speaks English. If you let them know you don't speak German, they will set you up with one of their English speaking staff. Get the apple strudel. The creme anglais that comes with it really makes the dish. Head to the restroom to see just how big the restaurant is. One room has a tree growing through the ceiling!
