Slightly above average food, but the location and scenery are fantastic so I am rounding up for the…read moreoverall experience. Schlösslesmühle is tucked into a narrow valley about halfway between Leinfelden and Waldenbuch, and while you can drive there, the best way to get there is to walk or bike from the parking lot near the Musberg Seebruckenmühle bus stop (~25 minute walk) or the lot near the Musberg Eselsmühle bus stop (~45 minute walk). There are a few parking spots out front, but no more than 4-5; walking or biking here is the norm.
Most of the seating is outside in a beer garden, but there are a few tables inside as well. Ordering is done at the register, when food is ready a server walks out and calls the order number, you raise you hand, and they bring it over. Prices were fine for the portion sizes, less than €20 total for two beers, a brat platter with salad and fries, and a piece of strawberry cake, which fed two of us.
Food was a little above average, but nothing amazing. The salad plate that came with the brat platter had a little bit of mixed greens, some pickled radish, and some potato salad as well; the variety was nice rather than just getting a giant plate of greens. The brats (a plump and white style) were nicely grilled, with the casings crisped up better than usual. Pommes were, well, pommes, and had the usual seasoned-salt shaken over them. The strawberry cake was excellent, with quality strawberries and a light filling between two layers of white cake.
With all the hikes to do in the surrounding area, we'll definitely be back for a lunch break here.
