It is dirty and people don't bother to put away their trays of food; someone had spilled a drink on the floor and during my stay (approx. 30min) nobody bothered to clean it up. The ladies who work there are actually quite nice and the food today was actually not that bad after all, but then again, I have heard that it is not always like this, so probably I just got lucky.

This place was packed…read morewhen we arrived, as expected since it is one of the most well-known schnitzel spots in Vienna. I was worried this place was over-hyped and more of a place you have to "check off the list" than somewhere you want to eat because of the food. If you have any doubts like I did, forget about them because this was actually the best schnitzel we had on our trip! Their potato salad and tomato salads, also amazing! I love that they had option for their schnitzel - the chicken and original were our favorites! Definitely check this spot out when in Vienna - you won't be disappointed!

Hey -- late lunch or early dinner works for me! The place is always full, but once you're seated, the service is quick and professional. The schnitzel was very good, but the two types of potato salads the waiter recommended were even better. Do not go without reservations. The total cost is roughly 40 Euros per person.

The staff members' faces were stoic, not friendly at all. It was our first meal in Vienna so we figured maybe friendliness is not the norm in Vienna. I don't know. We ordered, took a long time for the food to come, and it was mediocre at best. We asked for the check and my husband is always a generous tipper so he gave more than the 10% norm. The waitress herself said the norm was that and she thanked him in a monotone. Very underwhelming and unpleasant experience. Please, go anywhere else but here.

The venue inside was nothing special, rather indictive of the chain character of the restaurant. The waiters were ok and till here everything was fine. Later on, I felt the need to visit the rest room and on taking downstairs a terrible odour caught me as I was walking down the staircase. When I returned our food was there. Nothing special here either. I confirm what others have written about a charge of 0.9 € per sachette of mayonnese or ketchup. The worst part though came in the end. I was right in front of my boss when the waiter came in for the bill but actually I wasn't paying attention as I was searching for something on my mobile phone. Yet I sensed that there was a mini dialogue about a tip to which my boss concured despite one last conversation we had the other night about the leech tipping situation that the US is currently facing, Right after exiting the restaurant I asked my boss if the waiter had asked for a tip. He nodded positively. "And you accepted..." I added in disappointment. To my sheer surprise he said with a cutting edge like tone "NO!" "What no?" "He asked and I denied. But he went on saying that the service was not included.. so I backed in" At this point I was already feeling my blood boiling. "But why did you have to succumb? You should have said NOOO! and if he inisisted the answer would still be NO and then we should see what happens." I was in distress. We were scammed. What's worse is the fact that this virus that has taken over the US is coming straight forward into Europe and it seems there's space and time to conquer here. I definitely DISCOURAGE anyone to visit this certain place but since it's right in the middle of a touristy area fresh victims will get milked day by day. So, why would the owners even care?

The waitress was very unfriendly, she really didn't want to go to work. The food took a long time before it came and worst of all, it didn't taste good. I was so disappointed as this was my first Viennese meal! When it was time to pay, my husband tipped really handsomely, like he always does, and the waitress' eyes lit up and she sprang into life. I understand that waiters and waitresses work for tips with some restaurants but come on, you're at work so act the part. Overall, the experience wasn't great. I wish I went to McDonald's nearby instead.

The place was huge inside, bigger than expected from the outside. It was packed with people in a good way and the decor was tasteful and inviting. The wait staff were really friendly and attentive and visited just often enough to make sure we had what we needed. The food was great, and the classic schnitzel was massive but thin enough that it didn't feel overwhelming to eat. I paired it with the potato salad that included greens and both were excellent. If you're getting the schnitzel I suggest the longenberry preserve because the schnitzel itself is on the blander side.

However, my personal favorite restaurant for authentic Austrian cuisine is Schitzelwirt! They have an exceptional Biergarten in the front of the restaurant or inside dining if you want a more romantic setting. I recommend enjoying their traditional Wiener Schnitzel with Herb Potatoes. Aperol Spritz & local Sturm Wine pairs nicely with this meal. The service was excellent! They are able to speak English but restaurants are the best place to try using your Deutsch and the staff will be very pleased and create laughs around the table. Also, this restaurant isn't very close to an U-Bahn station so I recommend using a taxi or Uber to arrive and continue your night.

It was near our air bnb and had lots of good reviews, so the choice was made. We each got a different rendition of schnitzel. I got the classic and I personally thought it was great. Cooked perfectly. Crispy golden exterior with a juicy center. Simple dish that doesn't need anything other than a squeeze of lemon and a nice cold beer. My mom and aunt weren't as thrilled. I Think they had different expectations. My mom got a version that was similar to a francese and my aunt got one with parm and oregano. I tried both and thought they were very good. The potato salad they serve was phenomenal!! Be warned, the portions are huge! This is a good place for a family to share a few dishes. Also, be advised that if you want to avoid a wait get there early. We got there and had no real wait, but the people were beginning to show up as we left. You have to have the staples when you travel to a particular city, and the Schnitzel was represented well at this particular Vienna institution. Go and ENJOY!!!
