Hands-down probably the best place I have been so far for food on a student budget in Würzburg!…read more The meals are large and cheap, even the "finger food" which were not at all as small as I expected from the name. If you love burgers, you'll have to try them here at least once, the baguettes are nice too (I have so far only tried the cheese and salami variety, which were large meals like all at MuCK). The music here is often old classics, and the place has a friendly, homely and comfortable atmosphere. I find it to be a great place to catch up with friends for a large, filling, delicious meal and drinks - even cheaper on Specials nights which are Mondays for Spaghetti, Tuesdays for Schnitzel, and daily cocktail and daily food specials - which I keep up to date on via their Facebook page. So far I have experienced only great and friendly service :)

This was a nice enough place though, with some nice old fashioned music and a cool doorway (a revolving door, that has been opened up). The other reviews seem to focus on the food, so that must be pretty decent. Not so sure about the name though, they are being a tad hard on themselves.

You can definitely try a nice variety of different varietals and levels of wine here without breaking the bank. The food (local Franconian fare) was fine, but you might be paying for the high-end rustic ambiance more than the food itself. Service was professional and done with a bit of gravitas. The place seems to be very popular with locals of all ages; a reservation might be a good idea if you're coming.

This was a wise decision, although I did not see them turn anyone away. There were several large groups seated around us. My husband, my son and his girlfriend who are both studying in Würzburg had never been to this part of the river. It overlooks the water and has the famous large baroque, blue crane--hence the title, old crane--in the center of its outdoor table section with views of the Main River. This area was once a shipping harbor where goods such as grain were mostly unloaded until the mid-19th century. Today, it's brimming with great local beer and wines (we could see the vineyards from our outdoor table) and food! It was white asparagus season when we were there, which I can never resist. It was delicious, but I was happy to be given a bite as well of the schnitzel and fries--a regional favorite in general. Everything we had was great. Next time we will have to leave room for dessert--the Kaiserschmarrn the table next to us ordered looked amazing!

I've been coming here several times a year for the past 12 years and I have to say that the food is…read moreexcellent, but they very rarely change the menu. So it's the same stuff all the time, which can get a bit boring if you're looking for a bit of variety. But their schnitzels are top class, the helpings are generous, and if you are lucky enough to get a table on Christmas Day, they have the wonderful Silvaner soup, made from the local wine grapes (and the recipe of which is a closely guarded secret!). The rest of the year, when it is in season, they have the pfifferling soup (mushrooms). Prices are not cheap, but this isn't exactly McDonalds. If you want some nice quality food, then you have to be prepared to pay a bit more. But the most expensive dish is never more than 17 or 18 Euros (the Argentinian steak). The schnitzel is just under 10 Euros.
