Finally on this cruise, we had a chance for local lunch on-shore. Ms T and I walked around Mainz,…read moreenjoyed Mainz Cathedral and did a little shopping. My Yelp search turned up Glöckle as a possibility for lunch. I was really looking for a place where I could get some Nürnberger brats and sauerkraut and I found one. I was not disappointed. I know we are a long way from Nürnberg, but for me this is one of the best things in Germany and I did not want to leave without at least one such meal. Glöckle serves them in orders of five or eight. Five is plenty with the side orders and we both chose that serving. They come with sauerkraut or potato salad. We both ordered with kraut and I added a side of fried potatoes. This was a perfect lunch, washed down with a Binding Pilsner. It was one of the very best meals from a nearly two week trip that included some very good food. It's my kind of thing and Glöckle did it well. We had excellent, friendly service in a local spot. Highly recommended.

Our hosts at our Airbnb that is walking distance recommended Naturfreundehaus for our first dinner…read morein Germany. I love authentic German fare and this place is as authentic as it gets! Located in a residential neighborhood on a Neu Isenburg street the Naturfreundehaus host was as welcoming to my son and I as could be! Even though we provided a German greeting, it was obvious that we were out of town non- Deutschlanders! They provided English menus and a recommendation of a local pilsners which was quite tasty. Brody escalope pork with potatoes and I ordered the pork lion with onions and herb butter and added fried potatoes. Waiting patiently while I guzzle the tasty Pilsner..... While I was waiting, our host had an issue carrying someone else's food discretely stepped aside to prevent making a scene. I noticed this and jumped up to help and she provided me a se That meal was one of the most satisfying I have ever had! I can't say enough about the care and pride that produced that outstanding meal! The onions were caramelized and with the melted herb butter made for a tasty meal. The fried potatoes paired perfectly with the pork, onions, herb butter and green sauce from Brody's meal. Brody enjoyed his pork and potatoes also. He preferred the lemon better than the green sauce which left plenty for me! We both joined the clean plate club without a drop of tasty food remaining. I highly recommend Naturfreundehaus for anyone near Neu Isenburg around dinner time! ... I enjoyed my meal so much the night before I decided to come back a second night in a row. This round I decided to try the grilled chicken breast with garlic cream sauce and roasted potatoes. I added a small container of the green sauce that came with Brody's meal last night. Sipping on a Binding waiting for my meal....... The chicken was as good as the pork from my previous meal. The garlic cream and green sauce paired well together with the chicken and crispy fries. My son will be staying in the area and he will definitely be in to enjoy a meal with his teammates. Cheers!

Needed to get away from the office in the Frankfurt suburbs, and the locals suggested this place…read morefor some hearty local German fare. This place is in a residential neighborhood with a kinder school next door which added to the ambiance. They were great with dealing with a non-native speaker, they had a version of their menu in four languages. It was mostly your typical German beer garden fare, schnitzel, etc. I aimed to get the slowly brazed pork cheeks, with what I thought was coming with boiled potatoes and schnitzel with the famous green Frankfurt sauce. (it was under the heading of "Frankfurt style schnitzel" in both the German and multi-language menu). It instead came with the pork cheeks paired with egg pasta and a side salad (perhaps a lunch version) However since I really only wanted to try the green sauce, they put some in a sauce container and I could apply as I wished to the falling apart (a good thing) pork cheeks. Overall the food was great, there was a mixup with the order, but they made it right in the end. Definitely a favorite for the locals, and is cash only.

This is wonderful venue right on the river. We went to a private function here and the service and…read morefood couldn't have been better. Highly recommend.

I loved absolutely everything about this restaurant…read more The location was fabulous. Just underneath a crane, right next to the Main and the Central European Bank. Such a pretty location. The food was outstanding. I ate the beef special, and it was very tender and well cooked. Juicy as hell, too. The bread appetizers with the butter hit the spot. We also got a couple beers a piece. The service was on point. Friendly, helpful servers that did an amazing job. Honestly - for two people, our total bill was only like €55, which isn't bad at all considering all that we got and how much we enjoyed it. Should I find myself in Frankfurt again, I will definitely visit.
