Stopped in for a quick lunch right before our Neuschwanstein Castle tour and overall had a pretty good meal. We were able to sit outside and had great views of the castle. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered arrived quickly. They have indoor seating and out, but I would recommend the outdoor seating because it has great views of the castle and the forrest. For my meal I ordered the sausages in water which was an odd presentation but I enjoyed it. It wasn't a lot of food but we also didn't want to fill up because we had to do a ton of walking. I would recommend overall especially if you are looking for a quick and casual cafe. read more

Friendly wait staff and fast service. The food portion is more than adequate for the price. The noise level was low for the number of patrons inside. read more

I recently stopped here on my way to Neuschwanstein Castle, as this restaurant was recommended to me by my tour guide. I can say he certainly knows what he's talking about as I absolutely loved their food. The service was great, and the ambience of the restaurant was super cozy since you're alongside the base of the castle. The onion rings were a hit and the sour cream it came with was fantastic. I actually ended up putting some of that sour cream into the potato soup as I noticed there was none in it already. I previously enjoyed some potato soup that day next to the church of Weis, which had it and thought it would pair perfectly with this soup. If you can't tell I was on a potato soup kick that day! I'd like to add the soup was a 10/10 without my addition, however it was absolutely fantastic after I had added some. I also enjoyed the little croutons and chives on top as well. I've been sorely missing this place since I've returned from my trip. read more

I would give Kainz Restaurant 10 stars!! It is a brilliant restaurant. The team is super friendly and helpful. The food service is fast and the food is absolutely delicious. I had the chicken burger and it was delicious. The ambiance is warm and follows the theme of the town. Best place to eat if you're visiting the town, the castle, or on your way to the next destination. read more

It probably isn't fair to be reviewing a restaurant that I ate at almost 40 years ago, but it came to mind recently because I remember that shortly after I ate at Kainz, I became violently sick. I was with a tour group of 50 high school students from Florida, and we stopped at this restaurant to have lunch before touring the castle. They appeared to be terribly understaffed and our waitress, while not the kindest, could probably be forgiven, because she seemed so overworked trying to serve all the patrons. I remember my main course being white sausage I'm not exactly sure what that entailed, but it was not the best I had ever eaten. The next day back in Innsbruck, I became violently ill, and could hardly even raise my head off of my pillow. Now, there may have been other factors involved, but I blame the food at this restaurant because it did not taste right, and may not have even been properly cooked. Forty years later, all of this may have changed, especially since they appear to be under a different management, but I present this as a warning for any international traveler: that food preparation and serving rules differ from country to country, and may either exceed or lack in comparison to how food safety is conducted in your own land. Beware. read more

Such a nice restaurant after a long walk up, through and back down to the castle. Located right off of the shortened path from the castle. There's PLENTY of seats inside if you cannot find a table outside. Their food is big, delicious and the wait staff is quick! We were with a tour group and they picked this place out for us to eat. Well walking all day I just wanted someone to pick out something for me, drink and all. So I asked the waitress and she said she had the perfect meal for me and a nice local beer. Everything was soooo yummy!! I am really glad we came here to eat! I tried a bit of everyone's food and I definitely had NO complaints! My currywurst was on POINT! And that Mac and cheese gave me heart eyes!!! It's sooo cheesy but not over done cheesiness! It was perfect. Usually german beer is dark and heavy, but thankfully the waitress brought out a very light wheat beer. Was so good I had two!! read more

Conveniently located, but the staff were less than kind. It was as if we were interrupting their day. There was only one other table that had 4 people at it so it is unclear as to why. We had some drinks (only have beer for alcohol) and the strudel was really good, but I would not go back. read more

Kainz - Strudel - Restaurants Near Me - Schwangau, BY

Tourist trap. The food was fair to good and way overpriced. Only ate there as it was reserved with our tour company.

We stopped into Kainz for lunch during our visit to Neuschwanstein and enjoyed the traditional German cuisine. The restaurant is located at the bottom of Schwangau town, near the bus stop that takes you back to the train station. We decided to grab a bite to eat before heading back to Munich for the day. The food was great! We shared the traditional schnitzel, bratwurst, pretzel, and apple strudel. Everything was delicious....especially the strudel!! We sat outside on their patio, which has an awesome view of Neuschwanstein. Our server was working the whole patio all by herself, and she did a great job! Definitely check this place out if you are in the area and looking for good food, service, and atmosphere. read more

Incredibly charming family owned business with great food and service. Every meal is made with love and care and the beer is amazing. We didn't leave a crumb left on our plates. read more

This is a random restaurant that our tour group stopped at for lunch. Actually, it seems to be the restaurant that all of the tour groups stop at for lunch, so it can get a little crowded. I certainly aren't complaining though because it was still quite nice, even though it is clearly directed towards the tourist, with a couple of castles being in the local vicinity and all that. Still, it does try to be very much a German experience, which I must admit is pretty cool. read more

The food was good, looked appetizing and was served quickly. The restaurant was nice, clean and warm after our hike. Unfortunately, our waitress was a bit rude and unwelcoming. To summarize: It was alright, but I wish we would've chosen a different restaurant. There were lots of other places around and I'm sure we could've found a better one. read more

just plain rude and borderline racist. I came here with a tour group (I know, but we were exceedingly polite) and it was clear from the moment we took our seats that the staff did not care for us being their customers. They provided bread, but when we asked if we could get butter, the staff said bluntly "No." I know culturally this bluntness might be commonplace, but I'm sure if we were white, we would have been accommodated. They wanted to get us in and out as quickly as possible, and would whisk our plates away before we'd barely gotten started. If this is emblematic of how tourists (especially non-white ones) are treated, it doesn't matter how pretty the nearby castle is. There was an undercurrent of ugliness here that soured our entire experience. read more

I've been to many restaurant with rude services, but this one tops ALL OF THEM. The waitress (with dark black hair) was not only rude and unhelpful. Our bill comes out to about $48 euro, she gave us the changes (about $12 euro of changes), she went ahead and grip ALL OF THE charges as her tip! I'm usually a good tipper and has been tipping thru my trip, but not for rude services, she is basically a thief!!! read more

Beatifull view! Wonderful site! Clean bathrooms! Clean environment! But the service is sooo rude! I guess they get so tired cleaning up and get mad at us! read more
