Visited this keller restaurant at a Sunday night. Food was excellent and people were nice. They…read moreserved me the best schnitzel throughout my trip from Müchen to Salzburg. Only complaint is the service was kind of rude, at least for me I felt like that way. That was not only for this restaurant but almost all restaurants were about the same. Germany people were busy doing their own jobs and don't want to waste time on you non-Germany speakers.

I'm seriously torn in this review, as the gulf between the food and the service is utterly…read moreenormous. I was planning a trip to Chiemsee, and decided which dock to launch from on the basis of where I'd like to have dinner afterwards. Wieninger Keller looked amazing on Yelp, and thus I chose Prien for my departure spot. I came to the Keller around a quarter to 6 in the evening, and asked the waiter at the top of the stairs if the outside garden would be serviced for dinner, as it was a lovely fall day. Now - I'm a native German speaker, and was sure I understood him correctly when he said "absolutely, have a seat wherever you'd like and we'll take care of you." Somehow, it didn't work out that way... My first beer order was taken, and when the waitress came around for my food order, it was just getting to 6PM, so that meant the Wieninger Keller was starting to serve Schweinehaxe. I absolutely *love* the dish, and asked for a soup starter and the hax'n as a main course. The waitress looked at me askance and said that it was a lot of food, to which I asked if the soup was a small bowl, and she agreed, but said that it was going to be a lot of food. I decided to strike the soup and went with just the hax'n, which was a fortunate decision. The portion size is absolutely huge, cooked perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There was, of course, a knödel alongside, and a veritable mountain of sauerkraut. The picture I attached just does not do the fantastic food justice. So - why 3 stars? Because at the time my food arrived, I asked the waitress for another beer and another water. I see another table get their food served, and then don't see any wait staff. After half an hour, I see another couple sit down outside, and watch and wait for any staff to appear. Finally, they go downstairs out of frustration. Only then does the waitress finally come upstairs with my beer, 45 minutes after having served me, with the statement "Yeah - we got a bit busy downstairs." I tell her that I need the bill, and she throws me attitude about whether or not I still wanted the beer, which I remind her I'd wanted 45 minutes ago, but that I now needed to go. I chose not to make a big deal out of it, but the attitude of the staff left a lot to be desired. Long story short - Wieninger Keller has absolutely exceptional food. What they don't have is friendly or even interested staff. If you're going to come here, sit downstairs where you can at least have a passing chance to grabbing someone if you need something.

We came here for lunch and I had planned to order a salad…read more Then I saw the steep prices for salad on the menu (around 14€) and decided I needed to order something else. ;-) Next thing I knew, I saw the following option: 'Die schärfste Currywurst am Chiemsee' - and I knew I had to try it. We also ordered Spaghetti Aglio e Olio for Junior and the salmon Stockerlfisch for my husband. My food was just OK. They used some kind of red beef sausage for the currywurst which I am guessing is a local thing, but it was decent. The Thai-inspired curry sauce was rather lame unfortunately. It kind of felt as if they had just mixed two store-bought sauces together. It had a bit of heat, but if that makes it the spiciest curry sausage around the lake, then I don't want to try the others. LOL The fries were just OK as well. The spaghetti were pretty good. They were al dente and not too oily. The star of this lunch was definitely the Stockerlfisch. I never had freshwater salmon before and was quite interested to see how it compares to the Pacific salmon I usually eat. I am happy to report that it was quite nice. The fish had a good flavor and was well prepared without being dry. Totally recommended to try it. A note about the service: It was quite slow, but this place is super busy so I feel you need to take this into account. At the same time, every waiter I talked to or observed seemed very friendly and in a good mood - and that is certainly worth mentioning if a place is buzzing like Westernacher.

We enjoyed a pretty good lunch here. It was the middle of December so the weather was not so great…read morebut it was still enjoyable to eat a leisurely lunch in the glass terrace while watching the boats shuttle tourists to the Schloss Herrenchiemsee. The schnitzels and frites were excellent and the tea service was very nice as well. The wait staff spoke a little English and were friendly to us. There was no English menu but it wasn't a problem for us to find what we wanted (schnitzel!). Very enjoyable option if you find yourself in this area.

Having been here years before, I expected nothing special. But I was to be positively surprised. Plus, coming with a 8 month old baby its not always a given to be made feel welcome. Here it was absolutely the case. But about the food: The "Renke" is a local fish. I had it "blau" (pouched in a wine/vinegar/rooty vegetables stock. It should not boil. Very important not to overcook. Tonight, this was just perfect! And a special thank you to a very nice baby-savy waiter! Altogether a really nice evening, quite unexpected, probably unfairly so. Highly recommended!
