Some people on Yelp Vienna have written negatively about the Reinprechtsdorferstraße in Margareten…read more I am not one of them. Though I def live in what would be considered the cool Bobo section of this diverse district, I am glad to have the Reinprechtsdorferstraße not too far away with all its inexpensive shops and multiple international fast food eateries. A case in point is the fast food place called Chicken House. Who would have thought that they would serve the famous wurst sandwich from Izmir, Turkey called Kumru? Well they do and you can get it with all the trimmings. I have never seen it anywhere else in Vienna so if you are a fan of this street food from Izmir, stop by. I ate a Kumru for lunch the other day and it's the real deal. It's the reason I will go back sometime again to Chicken House....especially with my Viennese-Turkish friend from Izmir.

I know we should never expect too much of fast-food restaurants, especially the ones placed in…read moreshopping malls. And so it is with KFC as well. 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.

One of the spots I hit up is Schnitzel Madam - ironically not for a schnitzel but for their Viennese Grillhendl. I think they prepare this classic Viennese chicken dish really well and at a little more than four Euros, it's excellent value for a tasty meal. Oh and the family who work here are always friendly!

Saw a sign for Original Weiner Schnitzel so we went in. The place was packed and looked clean so we…read morewere quite confident this was going to be a good meal. 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?

There's seating at the bar, tables and booths inside; additional covered seating outside with plenty of heaters. Blankets would have been a nice touch We ate pumpkin curry soup and homemade pumpkin ravioli for one meal. It was amazingly delicious! The next meal was traditional Wienerschnitzel with German potato salad; another tasty meal. They do a great job with their beer which is brewed in house. They also have guests beers.

Service was ok, we ordered drinks after several minutes looking the menu over but staff (various servers) seem irritated that we needed time to decide. It's our first time so give us a break. Hubby ordered the BBQ ribs they were just ok no real flavor other than the sauce on which he thought might be Sweet Baby Ray's from the states. Our friends had the bratwurst & potato with eggs (actual name I don't remember but it was a special for the month of September) both were ok. The bratwurst was the hit of the night with everyone thinking it tasted the best. The potatoes with eggs were ok but serving size was too large for the person who ordered it preferring the size of the potato salad over the meal. The service was apparently during shift change because getting someone over to the table for more drinks was difficult (unless you apparently were at a locals table) so sitting for extra drinks didn't really happen. So we ate our meal & eventually got our check & left. Was it good? Yes. Would we have eaten here again? No
