Rude. Cancelled my reservation with hardly any notice. When…read moreI called to ask what had happened, first person claimed she knew English but didn't. Just yelled into phone that she had no room for 2 people to come that night. Second person knew more English but wasn't much more helpful. Find somewhere else to eat.

My daughter and I ate here our last night in town. Everything about the experience was great…read more First, the building and the beer garden were perfect -- not touristy in the least, and sitting outside was just great. (There is a park behind the beer garden, so the overall vibe is super chill.) As for the food and drink, they exceeded our expectations. After having eaten out a lot over a two-week trip, the food here was much better than most of the places we visited in Germany. The pasta my daughter had was great -- lots of fresh veggies mixed in and it was her most memorable dish the entire two weeks. I had the white asparagus with a schnitzel and could not have been happier -- the asparagus and hollandaise sauce was outstanding, and the schnitzel one of the better I had all trip. As for the service, the folks who helped us were polite, funny and cool. I highly recommend this establishment. So glad we found it. Highly, highly recommended!!

Tag der Deutschen Einheit, tolles Wetter und dann auch noch in der Sächsischen Schweiz Richtig!…read moreDas bedeutet Menschen ohne Ende und volle Gasthäuser. Nach einer größeren Runde im Rathener Gebiet hatten wir uns vorgenommen in der Hocksteinschänke zu Essen. Obwohl es schon gegen halb Zwei war, war es gerammelt voll. Wir fanden noch ein Plätzchen an einem Tisch mit einem älteren Ehepaar. Es dauerte nicht lange und der Kellner erschien. Das Radler dauerte ein paar Minuten, aber das war völlig ok. Am Nebentisch beschwerten sich Gäste über die lange Wartezeit auf das Essen. Bei diesen Massen und frisch! zubereiteten Speisen aber normal, dass es mal eine Stunde dauert. Wir saßen schön in der Sonne und ließen uns das Radler schmecken während wir auf unser Essen warteten. Nach ca. einer Dreiviertel Stunde kam unser Szegediner Gulasch und das Schnitzel mit Champignons. Trotz des Ansturms wurde mir mein extra Wunsch nach Bratkartoffeln statt Salzkartoffeln erfüllt ohne Murren und Aufpreis! Das es in der Zeit zu der ein oder anderen Fehllieferung beim Essen kam, sollte eigentlich trotz Stress in der Küche nicht passieren. Alles andere war aber durchaus in Ordnung. Wir können das Gasthaus nur weiter empfehlen und kommen gern wieder. Und dann gibt es bestimmt auch noch den 5. Stern.

It was a little hard to find. You have to enter the building and then go down the stairs. We didn't…read morehave a reservation, but the place is very big and they found a seat for us in a very interesting looking area. The atmosphere was very old feeling with the decorations, and the waitstaff wore historical looking clothes. The food was very good, the service was outstanding, and the prices were reasonable considering it was a central area with lots of shopping and probably tourists. Plus the beer was great!

Sure, there was a touristy vibe, but we were tourists, so we rolled with it!…read more The food was well-executed... cooked and seasoned correctly and had a nice presentation. The staff were friendly, while the table-to-table entertainment avoided us. Maybe we looked unfriendly. It had been a long day, after all. Service was very good & they were accommodating. The price was a bit higher than elsewhere, but our guests were OK with that, as they enjoyed the environment & decor.
