We ordered the beef cheeks, which were served cold (likely as intended but not what I was expecting). Flavor was fine but not great. The burger was also just okay. For something so standard, it was passable but not likely to order again. Our favorite dishes were 1) the duck and 2) potato and vegetable patties. Duck was crispy, hot, and had pretty good flavor! The vegetable patties were also crispy and balanced, slightly sweet. The beer list was limited but we liked what we ordered. Hate to be a broken record but we've had better while in the city. Wouldn't recommend this place to a friend since it was just average.

Soooooo... we came back for lunch the next day and walked right in! To say that this place is a 10/10 means there just weren't enough stars! From the employees to the incredible food it was tied for the best meal we had during our two weeks in Austria, Hungary, Germany, Slovenia...(the other best meal was just down the alley at the Italian place) but seriously...everything we had was even better tasting then it looked! I will die dreaming about the skin on the pork knuckle and I now have to eat my cheese sticks with tartar sauce! Thank you for a wonderful experience and hopefully we will be back again soon!!!

During the planning stage of our visit to Prague, I researched restaurants local to our hotel and…read morechose Mincovna in old town. Despite our reservation, the place seemed relatively empty. We are early diners and the only couple near us were also Americans on holiday. Our server spoke excellent English and guided us through the menu choices. After an appetizer of tomatoes and cucumbers in a light dressing, I ordered the sirloin in cream and my wife the trout filet. The food, like the service, was superb. Our server surprised us with a complimentary "shot" of a very strong Czeck liqueur at the end of the meal. we had a grand time and hope you will too!!

Nonetheless, I entered and hope for an escape from the unforgiving sun on that day. The staff seated me at one of the booths and after I requested some information explaining the menu and what's popular, they were more than happy to assist. They even explained some local etiquette and so on which was perfect for a visitor like myself. I decided to try out their Pickled Cheese as an appetizer. The cheese, paired with the onion salad and bagel was great. I really didn't know if I was eating it correctly but still delicious. For the main course, my waiter recommended a Schnitzel with potato salad. Just to get it out of the way, but the potato salad was almost better than anything I've had in the United States. I thought we were doing it right until I spent one day in Prague. The Schnitzel was also delicious. Perfect with the salad, the provided a blend of flavor and substance I desperately needed. All in all, this place was a great experience in Prague. The staff could not have been anymore nicer as I left with an itinerary on what to do during my time in Prague. The food and service were great. Don't be fooled by the location and stop by if you're in Old Square.

There is essentially a lot of indoor seating and a couple outdoor tables and this place gets reserved relatively quickly. Got in, ordered the pork loin and some potatoes. The loin itself was good, nice and juicy but the potatoes parties were a bit dry. The service pretty much sucked as the waiter seemed disinterested in helping customers and more interested helping himself. Overall, not a terrible place considering the food is good and reasonably priced but don't come expectations any sort of service...

This is 100% authentic CZECH cuisine and experience. Generous portions, gruff service, cheap prices. There's a mix of locals and tourists so be prepared to be jowled and jockey for a seat.

I read a little about it online and some people said ordering can be intense and stressful, so I did my homework, kitted up, and got ready to go to war. There's a menu with the most popular dishes outside so to limit the decision fatigue, I knew I was gonna order a #1. I entered the restaurant where the staff handed me a slip of paper and sent me through the gates. You walk to the serving line, hand the staff your paper and tell them what you want, then take your plate and paper somewhere to sit down and eat. Way easier than what online experiences said to expect. There's a seating area which resembles an atrium so I knew I had to sit there. Their most popular dish, a Sirloin in Cream Sauce isn't much of one for looks. What the dish lacks in looks, is made up for in quality and taste. The bread tasted so good with the sauce, I couldn't help but saturate each slice. The beef was soft and was disguised under the sauce as a surprisingly hefty portion. A solid, well balanced dish. All in all, this restaurant is easily the best bang-for-your-buck to try out some authentic Czech food while not breaking the bank at all. I had a wonderful experience where I was able to sit down, relax and feel a bit more immersed in the culture. You won't have any issues with trying out this place and if you do, at least it's inexpensive.

We ordered the meatloaf, fried cheese, and plenty of Czech beer. The food was delicious, fresh, and came out quickly. The Czech beer was fantastic--so smooth and easy to drink that you barely realize how many liters you've had! The dessert wasn't really my thing, but everything else was excellent. Service was outstanding. The servers were friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient even with the restaurant buzzing with people and the game on. The vibe is what makes Lokal so special--lively, casual, and quintessentially Czech. If you're in Prague and want great food, excellent beer, and a fun local atmosphere, this is a must-visit.

The place was packed upon entrance so it may benefit to schedule a reservation for a larger party. As I was by my lonesome, I sat down at a table and began to take in the atmosphere. The hall was breathing with life of people enjoying drinks and chatting, so don't expect a quiet dining experience. My waitress recommended I try the sausage variety as an appetizer so I gave it a go. The food came out after about five minutes. I could be intoxicated by the delight of visiting Europe but the sausages were so delicious and fresh. The mustard and horseradish which accompanied the dish were delicious and complimented the protein so well. For the main dish, my waitress also recommended the Chicken and Rice. The food followed my appetizer about five minutes after. Upon first sight, the portions and composition of the plate spoke to me in a commanding yet soft whisper. The chicken was so tender that it melted off the bone. The rice was so dense yet fluffy. Each bite combination sprinkled with the gravy made for a euphoric taste in each chew. In other words, the food was incredible. This restaurant provided to perfect opportunity to try out traditional Czech food without leaving a hole in you wallet. The pricing, the vibes, and the seemingly unlimited beer made for an authentic experience. It is definitely worth a visit here, or at any of the Lokál chains if you find yourself in Prague.
