With that statement, you'd probably assume that their pretzels are amazing, but honestly, I prefer Auntie Anne's. The pretzel here was fine, but AA's is the ultimate comfort food, IMO. The star of the show were the potatoes. Potatoes mashed right in front of you with sour cream and cheese. We could have added even more toppings, but that's all my wife wanted. It was absolutely amazing and perfect. As I write this review, I'm regretting not going back here for round two before we left. The reason I compared it to Auntie Anne's despite having vastly different pretzels is because it was in a small kiosk in the train station, and looked like the kind of place that would be anywhere that kiosks exist. This was the first place we visited after getting to Munich, so we had a bit of culture shock when realizing that not everyone who worked here spoke English. There was one person behind the counter who did, and she was very friendly/helpful!

Augustiner Bräustuben was unfortunately one of the biggest disappointments of our Munich trip. I…read morereally wanted to love this place given its reputation, but the experience fell far short. We ordered the pork knuckle, pretzel with beer cheese, and beer. The pork knuckle arrived cold and lacked flavor, while the pretzel didn't seem particularly fresh either. The beer pour was especially disappointing--the amount of foam/head was ridiculous, and for a place associated with such a famous brewery, I expected a much better pour. The photos really speak for themselves. Service was the biggest issue. We repeatedly tried to get someone's attention to place our order, but the servers seemed to avoid eye contact and kept waiting for someone else to help us. Even getting the check was a struggle--we eventually had to get up and go to a counter ourselves. It felt like the staff had little interest in actually serving the customers. The atmosphere itself has the traditional Bavarian beer hall feel, but unfortunately, the poor food, disappointing beer pour, and especially the terrible service completely overshadowed it. I really wanted to like this place, but based on our experience, there are much better beer halls and beer gardens in Munich.

Since it is Oktoberfest and a sunny day on a Saturday the place is jammed full of people. There are several beer gardens and interior dining rooms as well. The group of us found a comfortable table in the sun in one of the beer gardens and some went to gather an array of traditional dishes while others went for the beer. Table service seemed to be available only indoors on this day. The food, an array of items such as pretzels, potatoes, meats like pork Haxn and meat loaf were quite tasty. The dark beer, "dunkel", is my favorite and it was fabulous. The varieties this time of year is mind boggling. A half liter was fine for me. What an enjoyable experience yet the crowds were a bit crazy too. One can always go into the church for some tranquility, if needed.

I usually stop at Ditsch if I'm rushing to catch a train and want a quick snack. Their pretzels are more than acceptable with their crusty exterior and soft, salty interior, and their PizzaSnacks, a flatbread topped with sweet tomatoes, cheese and meat or veggies, are a thing of beauty (I don't know why I love them but I do). This isn't gourmet German bakery food but it's not an awful choice. It's good in a pinch and will satisfy your cravings. Bonus points because of all the vegetarian options, including a pepper topped PizzaSnack that is my go-to favorite. Located in the busy Munich train station so lines can appear long but they move quickly because of the excellence of German efficiency. Have your money ready and you're good to go.

I'm glad I had the opportunity to dine in this beautiful 150 year old restaurant. My review comes after its closure but it serves to honor the restaurant in hosting my visit. The Building is amazing where the walls and ceilings act as palettes for beautiful painted art. Stepping into the restaurant feel as if one is stepping through a time portal where one feels they are dining 151 years ago which is how old the building is. The ambiance is quite lively and energetic. Although the highlight is the space, the food is also very good. Their pretzels are served warm and fresh with a firm exterior and an interior that melts as it enters one's mouth. The soup is flavorful and healthy with not even a drop of oil pooling to the top. The schnitzel is as tender as it gets. The servers were knowledgeable and fast but it is always so busy that the restaurant should consider increasing staff as to improve customer service. Perfect location right in the heart of Marienplatz where the Glockenspiel is a stone's throw away. Overall, a wonderful restaurant to dine with great food and a beautifully historic setting!
