We searched on Yelp to see where we could have our late lunch in Ulm since it was our first time…read morehere, and we decided on this place as our #1 choice. We were not disappointed, and we really enjoyed our dining experience at this "Pretzel Tavern" overall. It was such a nice day (I have to mention here we were so ready to be in a warm sunny environment after a seemingly long and dark winter here in Germany), so we opted to sit at an open table in the open-air street dining area (photo). I tell you it was so good to be able to sit in the sun to enjoy our relaxing time and food. My brezel (namesake for this establishment) was very good. It came out of the kitchen very warm and it had pretty good amount of coarse salt crystals. Of course, it had just the right texture of chewiness. Schwäbische bratwürst (a.k.a. naked bratwurst) was a little on a bland side (as is often the case with this type [weißwürsts] of bratwürsts tend to be for the lack of spices and herbs), but the gravy it came with was excellent and saved the whole dish. Also, I would've preferred to had my Nürnberger bratwürst grilled a little longer, but they tasted very good nonetheless. Serving was very generous for the money (you'll be the judge from my photos). All the side dishes: bacon-fried potatoes, sauerkraut with bacon pieces (unique) and traditional potato salad were excellent. Of course, when you mix anything with bacon, you know, it has to be good. Service was prompt. I felt our server was a little abrupt, but she was very efficient. I thought considering Ulm being a part of Schwäbische culinary territory, they did Bavarian sausages pretty well. Their menu items are very extensive. Of course, some folks were simply enjoying bier und brezel in the afternoon. If you are in Ulm, you want to try this place if you like Bavarian or Schwäbische cuisine...only about five minutes walk from the Ulmer Münster. You can pay with credit card if you prefer...inside at the hotel front desk, otherwise you pay cash at your table as usual.

Paulaner is my favorite brewery in Germany, and I love the fact that they seemed to be the first to…read moreput restaurants outside of Munich. So many that my friend Achim from Bavaria refers to them as the "Bavarian Embassy!" I have hit many Paulaner restaurants in Germany over the years, but this is one on my favorite spots, nestled in a little square under the trees and surrounding a nice water fountain. I come here on every visit to Stuttgart. I have actually hit this spot twice in the past year. The last time was during the World Cup, when I managed to get a seat next to the fountain with a perfect view of the TV. On the most recent occasion, I sat on the other side of the fountain. This place is usually bustling, and it is difficult to grab a table outside, but the staff always seem to accommodate me. I always order a nice, fresh and cold Hefeweizen beer, and even though I peruse the menu, I get the same thing- Schweinshaxe, or Pork Knuckle, they do it like no one else- it's ALWAYS consistently good, juicy, crispy, perfect. The last time I came with friends, this time it was just me, and I struck up a conversation with a local, such an enjoyable time, and happy to see the locals frequent this place. My mouth waters thinking of the food and I look forward to coming back again next summer!

I don't know what they were, but they were so good. It was chilly so it was the perfect meal. To end the evening, we ordered a dessert we've never had before called "Des Kaisers Liebling" which was fried dough with powdered sugar and some fruit compote. Again, it was good, but maybe wouldn't order again. I gave this place five stars for the service and how mom and pop the vibes felt.

This review is not about the service. Sitting inside gave me a direct Birds Eye view into the kitchen... unfortunately. After ordering I had to watch the person in the kitchen, while preparing foods, eating and licking his fingers. It completely ruined my meal!! The taste wasn't bad at all but i was already too thrown off having to watch this the entire time i was there. I'm super bummed, my 20$ meal was left on the plate.
