The place looked full but no one was waiting to be seated. We politely asked about a table for 4 and the stressed-out waitress just barked "Nein!" and rushed off. We won't be back. By the way two other restaurants in Rauris provided excellent food and service.

Clearly a local spot. The service was impeccable and the food was really good. The interior was…read morecozy and it was packed. Everyone was having an incredible time and so did we. Definitely a must if you are looking for local cuisine.

I had a good, authentic Austrian dinner here with beef goulash, spinach ravioli, and their…read moresignature "Affensteak" (a pork chop with cheese and vegetables that has been on their menu since 1989). I liked the spinach ravioli the best, with lots of spinach and cheese stuffed into fresh pasta sheets. The beef goulash was served in a basic tomato sauce, but there were only few pieces of beef (1 star off). The pork chop was hearty with all that cheese piled on top. I liked how they offered several salad options too, as I was missing having a big salad after traveling in Germany and Austria. Lastly, my favorite item here was actually their "Cremeschnitte" (cream sandwiched between phyllo dough); the cream was absolutely divine. The portions were large already, but I wished I had ordered two of those cakes. It was that good!

Dinner here was fine, but not the 4.5 star experience Yelp led us to believe. Yelpers so…read morerecommended this place that we tried to go our first night in town, and were advised that it might be a 30 minute wait -- but the staff *also* told the 7 parties ahead of us that it might be a 30 minute wait for them, too. So we went elsewhere. We went back the next night at an off-hour and while the food was fine, I would have been highly disappointed had we waited in line for 30 minutes, let alone 2 or more hours. This restaurant has a prime location and a strong online reputation. And perhaps our experience was impacted by the fact that we went at an off-hour. Still, there are much better options, with equal character, available across the city. Consider branching out -- and check my other Salzburg reviews for other alternatives.

If you're planning on having dinner in Salzburg and it's not at the Christmas market, I highly…read morerecommend eating here. We came in around 5pm for an early dinner before our train back to Munich and was able to grab a table for 4. We got incredibly lucky because the restaurant really filled up and by the time we left, there was a long line down the block. Of course we had to have their Original Wiener Schnitzel, which was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. We also had a Salzburger Nockerl, which is a classic Austrian soufflé dessert that is considered a culinary symbol of Salzburg. You do have to order this about 20 minutes in advance, so we ordered it when we made our entree orders. This was really good and honestly, more than enough for our group of 4. I also highly recommend their house beer, which was one of the best beers I had during our 10 day trip.

We chose the place because it was close to our cottage and was suitable for big groups - and I did…read morenot regret it. The staff is extremely friendly, food is reasonably priced and the portions are just enormous!!
