    Pork knee
    Christine J.

    We ended up eating here twice it was so good. Highly recommend the pork knee, duck and the goulash soup in the bread bowl. As a heads up, this place is cash only!!!

    nice presentation but a bit bland
    Tung D.

    I chanced upon this restaurant while walking in the old town, and decided to try it out. The line and the wait was long. I was seated after a while. At that time, they already ran out of most of the dishes (I wanted to order the duck leg), so I had to be content with the Gulash. I noticed most of the tables ordered the Gulash dish though. The Gulash had really nice representation, and was served in a bread bowl, but overall the taste was kinda bland. I had Goulash before when I was in Austria, so I could compare. Anyways, I didn't try a lot of dishes, so I give 3 stars per the Gulash dish.

    Pork knuckle
    Diane J.

    Mlejnice is tucked away on a relatively empty street near Old Town square, but the place already ran out of available tables by 5 pm so be sure to make reservations! It's a very cozy interior with old furniture and tools along the ceiling and walls. Prices are very reasonable and the food were given in generous portions. In order of favorite dishes: Roasted Duck - The best duck we had on our vacation! The skin was roasted golden brown while the meat was slightly pink and very tender. The rice pilaf was unexpectedly delicious. I would've been happy to have ordered another plate. Pork Knuckle - The pork knuckle seemed larger compared to ones from other restaurants, and it came with a side of pickled peppers and onions to help cut the fat. The pork skin was a bit too chewy on some areas and crunchy elsewhere, but the meat was rich, succulent and easily fell off the bone. Goulash - The goulash was a bit saltier compared to ones we had in other restaurants, so the bread bowl came to the rescue! Overall, a very thick, hearty stew with a generous amount of beef. Schnitzel - Smaller than most German/Austrian restaurant schnitzels, but still tasty. The breading was thin and not overly greasy, and the addition of lemon juice complemented the meat. Only docking a star because the food took forever to come. We waited over forty minutes for our food to arrive, and the long wait time seemed to be the case for every table.

    One of the most famous restaurants in Prague! This place offered super authentic Czech food, especially the pork knee that's the size of my face! Also the beer goulash in a bread bowl is exactly what we needed in a cold day. Definitely a great find in the city. Make sure you make a reservation or try to come at a non prime time. It's a decent size restaurant but lots of people try to eat here.

    Roasted pork knee with horseradish sauce, Brie cheese with cranberries and fresh veggies
    Kelli T.

    Other than we had a little difficulty finding it; it's off the Old Town Square; everything was perfect! The interior is small and is loaded with interesting things everywhere you look. The wait staff was helpful and friendly. The roasted pork knee was juicy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The brie cheese with cranberry was a great side dish; so refreshing! The fresh veggies were crisp and tasty. Very affordable too!

    The spread: sauerkraut, cole slaw, pork knee and goulash

    First dinner in Prague and I was so excited after reading all the great reviews. Mlejnice did not even come close to disappointment. Portions are huge, waitstaff was friendly and we were able to eat "traditional" food for 3 people for only about $60. And take home left overs. I was worried about getting a table after reading the reviews and when we left at about 8:30pm, there were about 3 groups waiting for a table. We were seated rather quickly at 6:45, so either go early or try to make a reservation. It was very hard to find as the Czech maps mean almost nothing especially in old town. I can't help you with that, sorry. Lol good luck! We kind of ran into it by chance. If you're walking from the astronomy tower towards Starbucks, it's the first street in the left. Once seated, we ordered the marinated pork ribs, the pork knee, goulash in a bread bowl, potatoes with broccoli and mushrooms and a side of sauerkraut. The beer is rather cheap too and everyone raves about Czech beer. Everything was delicious and the lady waiting on us was very patient and attentive. After spending some time in Budapest, where customer service is pretty nonexistent, our meal at Mlejnice was a nice change.

    *****4.5 stars***** Came here for dinner, but the restaurant was full. The server couldn't give an estimate as to when a table would be available, so we decided not to wait. Tried again the next day for lunch and there were tables available. The restaurant is small, so I suggest making reservations for dinner if you can. There's also a second restaurant not too far away if you wanted to make the trek over if this one is full. Decided on the marinated pork ribs and all you can make potatoes with smoked salmon and cream. The pork ribs came with just the right amount of bbq sauce. They were tender and had a lot of flavor to them. Tasted as if they were marinated in beer. The potatoes came with a good amount of smoked salmon and were mixed with the cream sauce. So good! Everything worked well together. Almost like a baked potato, but without the skin. Our waiter had to be the best waiter we had in Prague. He checked back on us frequently and made sure our glasses were never empty. This restaurant is right next to Old Town Square and is definitely worth a visit!

    Came during lunch no wait. The servers were attentive we ordered the following meals: Rural potatoes- included herbs, onions, cream and bacon. Very hearty but savory. Good for two people and even then it's a pretty big meal. Pork knee- overwhelming in size but it was so good. The meat was moist, fat content was just enough though it's a dish that's definitely for the faint of heart. Overall a solid choice for lunch and comes highly recommend by yelpers.

    Goulash in a bread bowl
    Alex P.

    This place is cash only and they will make sure that you are well aware of it when they seat you. We ordered the goulash and pork schnitzel. The goulash comes in a bread bowl and the combination is amazing. Warm, savory soup with generous chunks of beef in a fresh baked bread bowl that is perfect for dipping. It was our favorite dish at the restaurant. The pork schnitzel was also pretty good, but that is a dish that is hard to mess up. A lot of patrons seemed to enjoy the pork knuckle, but we weren't in the mood for something that fatty. The restaurant's ambiance is cozy and there are a lot of interesting tools and novelties used to decorate the walls and ceiling. I highly recommend checking this restaurant out if you are ever in Prague.

    Pork knee
    Phillip B.

    Had the pork knee , and Pilsner draft beer, came with horseradish honey mustard red onions and a cooked red pepper , very crispy skin that was very good , pulled it back to expose the fork tender pork , juicy and delicious tried all the condiments , combining the radish and mustard on my pork was a tongue dance for sure , the hot red pepper bite was really good with it as well . The beer went great with it and by the way this Pilsner Beer is better than German beer if you can believe it , smooth as water and I wasn't a real big beer drinker until now , and they served some sort of rye bread with it . Would definitely recommend this place while in Prague. Two min walk from old town square.

    It is a really nice restaurant we ate there and it was amazing.It is not overpriced and the food is really good and it totally worth it to go there if you want to try real Czech cuisine! The salads are really good as well! The only thing was that the waiter/waitress where a bit unfriendly and not patiently. Tipp: If a Beer cost over 40CZK the place is probably overpriced.In Prag a beer should never cost more than 40CZK

    American style BBQ in Prague??? Really??? Good 'Q is hard enough to pull off in the USA, could…read moresomeone in Prague do it? The answer is a resounding YES. Bad Jeff's is the real deal. It's located near the Namesti Miru station on a mostly residential street. Beautifully decorated, we were seated immediately. Friendly server brought us our menus. We considered the BBQ Sampler but thought it would be too much as we weren't super hungry. Settled for the beef brisket and the pork ribs lunch. Both were excellent. Meat just fell of the bones, perfectly sauced. Fries were good. Unfortunately we didn't try the sides - guess we'll have to save that for next time. After getting to know Prague better, good 'Q doesn't surprise me anymore. Prague is well known for its meats and the restaurant scene is definitely on point.

    In a city that's known for its meat, BBQ isn't the first thing that you associate with it. But in…read morethe city's continued growth and attraction of multiple nations, one of those being Americans, BBQ was bound to find its way. And that's what Jeff did, he took his BBQ with him from back home, set up shop in Prague, and has been successful ever since with locals, and of course, expats. The chef, Jeff, actually is from Texas and used to be a chef at Prague Beer Museum, where he helped introduce classic American fare, such as corndogs, on their menu. I had my best ribs in Prague here, and some great sides including truffle mac n' cheese, jalapeno cheese corn bread, baked beans and cole slaw. I was pleased with the overall experience. Comforting interior, great selection of food (true to an American BBQ menu), AWESOME service, and the prices (albeit "expat prices") were good for what you got in return.

I decided to try this place, because i live near by and i taught - hey, this would be a cool place to eat, fresh and meaty, why not?

Okay then, tough sell, why do you ask me what i want then, i ordered, my two meals came incomplete, i asked for my drink at least two times until it was served to me in a form of putting it on a bar as far from me as possible, coleslaw i did not get, even when i asked for it. I guess the cook forgot to cook it and the girl forgot to serve it, but i sure as hell paid for it. I ate the meat bunched into the bread, it was just fine, nothing extra, and i taught: i'm not going to eat here again. I might try, cause its so close but...I value good service and respect for customers. I guess this place is not bad, but i experienced only A OK. And i am saying that only because the meat is fresh, well prepared and not pricey.
