I came here in August 2023. I rated this place but forgot to submit the review. Anyways - this place has fast causal dining vibes. You order at the register and you have to go type boxes to eat. Of my few days in Vienna, this was on of the spots I remember fondly. The Austrian food they serve is modern. My friends and I tried various dishes and each were cooked pretty well. read more

excellent food to get while drinking... or after drinking. legit Austrian food and very cheap for the portion and side. It took quite a while to get the food after placing the order. but i think they were still making the dumplings when we walked in. Keep in mind, this place is very low key, they serve everything in cardboard boxes. The menu changes from week to week... we ended up getting the beef soup w/ cheese dumplings, green salad and the roast pork with crackling (breaded dumplings with sauerkraut). The soup reminded me of pho soup, and it was a nice appetizer to have while it was cold outside. The roast pork with sauerkraut was my favorite thing. if they have it, get it. Its filling and the crispy pork worked so well with the sauerkraut. They also have edm playing in the background if that's something you like. read more

So. Damn. Good. Small spot for seating and menu but what they make is fresh, changes weekly and is incredible. I had the roasted pork with sauerkraut and some other magic things in it topped with a delicious strip of crackling. Cost was 11 euros but huge portion. Great value in my opinion. The mixed green salad was also amazing. Super fresh dressed perfectly with beets and a bunch of other greens. Served in brown takeout containers which fits the vibe and I thought was perfect. Solid selection of craft ciders and beers. Just go. You won't be sorry. read more

My favorite meal in Vienna! I feel like this is definitely a local spot.. no English menu but the cashier spoke it just fine. I asked for the most popular dish which is roast pork, dumplings, sauerkraut in some sort of broth. It smelled, looked, and tasted fantastic. This pictures in the card board disposable box do not do it justice. I came on a rainy day.. all 5 or so tables were packed but people move quickly. I grabbed a spot and enjoyed. The flavors here are like nothing else.. the pork melts in your mouth and tastes so good with the fresh dumpling. There is also an abundance of sauerkraut to stir up the flavors. All of this for around 8-9 euros. Definitely recommend! read more

So delicious and the portions are very generous. I ordered the roast pork, the fried chicken liver, and the salad of the week. The cooking is high quality, and I love that the menu changes periodically. The guys in the kitchen are nice, and there's an English menu too. read more

This was a great stop for a casual bite of authentic Austrian food! Even all the drinks are from Austria. Friendly service, HUGE portions, and great food for a reasonable price. It is self-seating and you order at the counter. The tables are high with stools. No AC and it is a HOT day, but the doors are open and the fans are going, so not intolerable. read more

I still think about the food here and I ate here once 5 years ago. Blood sausage and roast pork were both fantastic.

Highly, highly recommend!! I couldn't ignore the 5 star rating on Yelp so we stopped by after watching the noon "show" of the Anker Clock, which is a minute walk away. It's small restaurant with an open kitchen and 5 bar tables. A lot of people get take out so it wasn't hard to snag a table even during the busy lunch hour. When we first talked in, we were intimidated by the German menu on the wall, but they have an English menu, too, so just ask! The menu changes, and they specialize in pork. We tried the beef/liver meatball with root vegetables soup and the roasted pork over sauerkraut with dumplings! So delicious and unique, and it felt like a home cooked meal. Hipster looking and friendly staff, techno music, and very trendy vibe, you have to stop by if you're visiting Vienna! read more

Good home style Austrian food This hole in the wall eatery is a good option if you are dining on a budget and wish to eat good Austrian food. We tried their signature dish roast pork, a beef goulash soup and leg ham "fleckerl" (fresh pasta) with a couple of Austrian beers. It was all delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff were super helpful and explained the menu and all the drinks in detail! Even though this is a fast food restaurant and the food is served in cardboard boxes, the staff do deliver the food to your table. read more

Cute little place we found in Austria and the thing about this place is that the menu changes, everyday I think. We tried the pork and the chicken and both were good, the pork has some of the sour cabbage which I think is a common Austrian dish. The chicken was soaked in a red sauce with sour cream, both were tasty and for the amount they gave I thought I was going to have to get a hotdog after but surprisingly I was filled. Their cider beer is a must try, it's called Zum Wohl, pretty good. A plus for this place is the staff here are traveler-friendly. They knew we were traveling so they brought out an English menu and explained the dishes they had. Recommend for travelers. read more

Amazing place, great experience, highly recommended! Our family of 5 has been eating out through Berlin, Krakow, Prague, and now Vienna for the past 9 days and this has been our best dining experience so far. We've eaten at places across the board from Berlin currywurst types of street food to the highest recommended local/traditional cuisines to high end Krakow steakhouses --and this little place had the most innovative food, the best cooked food, and by far the best service of all. We ordered one of everything on the menu and with drinks, it was enough for the 5 of us (sharing family style eating straight out of their Chinese takeout style boxes) and came put to something very reasonable like 50 euros. The guy that take our order was very pleasant and caring. There wasn't a table with room for five available so he went and asked a couple locals to move to a smaller table so we could sit at their larger table. Then he brought each dish out in succession with soup first, then the three entrees, and then the dessert. Service can suck in America and can REALLY suck in Europe and we were frankly flabbergasted at this extremely excellent type of service provided by an Austrian dude in a tshirt and baseball cap. Aprons and outfits don't matter; a good and pleasant attitude and high competence in culinary and service expertise does matter. Regarding the food, the garlic soup ranks in the ultimate comfort food category, the 3 entrees were varied and delicious, and the dessert was my wife's favorite. The pork was super creative (matzo ball type balls of goodness in it) and traditional (sauerkraut, pork cracklins, etc.) and familiar (reminded us of other great pork dishes of the world, like our carnitas back in Southern California) all at the same time. The dessert was both decadent with rich berry sauce and yet clearly one of the healthier desserts we had with lightly sugared pancake crumbs. I rarely write reviews and try to only write positive reviews and this one definitely qualifies. I bet we go back within the next day or two. Hopefully we'll be able to get a table! read more

This place is super good for college travelers (and probably everyone else too). It's very hidden and seemed like authentic Austrian food to us. We got some sort of pork dumplings and both enjoyed them- but the menu changes weekly! The Mutter Milch beer is good, and there's English speaking/ menus. Great music! Would recommend to anyone traveling here looking for a less touristy experience. read more

This is a great place for broke college students. We were a group of seven but we were there at six so it wasn't crowded and we got a good table. The menu is small but they always have at least one vegetarian option which was nice because one of us was vegetarian. The food is really good! The only regular menu item was a pulled pork dish with sauerkraut and bread dumplings. Everything else changes weekly but it was a really interesting and original menu. Also very affordable. The staff were really nice, spoke really clear english and gave us recommendations and explained everything on the menu really well. Highly recommend! read more

Bah we arrived here about 30 minutes before closing and they literally only had one item left (and by one item, I mean ... I had to split this one item with a friend as they didn't have any more of this one item). But, it was DELICIOUS. Wish I could have come here earlier to try more of the menu which sounded pretty unique. Very flavorful. Interior is cool. Would recommend! read more

This is the number one restaurant to eat in Vienna, Austria on Trip Advisor and it did not disappoint. It's only 4 months old and is a hole in the wall place with only a handful of tables. It's intimate atmosphere means you get served quickly, and it's good for take away. It's also very affordable with its pricing. The chefs change the menu week to week so you can go hear year round and have something different and a unique experience each time. I'd definitely recommend this place! read more

This little hole in the wall restaurant is a must when visiting Vienna! The food was great, and portion size was perfect for lunch. They package the food in little to-go boxes, which is really cute! There's about 4 tables for 5 people each inside, so coming with a party of ten was a squeeze, but definitely worth it. read more

This restaurant does not look like much at first sight. One goes inside and sees young people and thinks ok let's give them a chance. This place has quite a fancy interior. Look at the walls ;) The menu names have something to them too as you will notice. After having sat down, you see how they prepare the food freshly. Cutting onions, lots of them, and so on. Then you get the typical movie food box. You try it, and you want to start crying. The food is insanely good. The meat is so tender it feels like melting on one's tongue. The dumplings have the right texture and stickiness to them. Just good, you need to try yourself. This place is definitely a must go if you like trying out food in Vienna. Be aware there is not much space. I recommend the restaurant Schachtelwirt to everyone! I saved it in my restaurant list, you should do that too. read more

Pretty good, I had the bread dumplings with pork and sauerkraut, I usually stay away from pork but I was on holiday and love giving new cuisines a shot. The pork cracklings (or chicharones where I'm from) were a bit stale but other than that it was a good meal, heavy, but tasty. read more

W O W!! What a local find while strolling the streets of Vienna! Everything was absolutely delicious!!! The staff was extremely courteous and helpful! read more

Great small food joint with creative local dishes. We ate there twice. Got the roasted pork (which I think is usually a constant part of the menu), and some type of pork salad which was part of the rotational menu. The salad was good, but the roasted pork was much more memorable. The 2nd time around, we got the roasted pork again. The place is located in a little alley, so it's a little out of the touristy areas, but worth checking out. Friendly folks, they speak English well, and take credit cards. Hard to find seating if you come during peak hours. We came right when it opened, and had no problem with seats. read more

Highly recommending it. The food was very good and the staff was​ super friendly. Don't forget​ to try their drinks!

This food was amazing! I would ask for it as my last meal-- it was that good. I got the roast pork which they're famous for, and with a water it was only €10. The Service was amazing and our food was ready very quickly. I would definitely go here again! read more

Great little spot to grab a filling snack or a quick lunch and a beer. Weekly rotating menu with a staple of roast pork and dumplings.

As others have said, best meal in Vienna. Goes to show you a restaurant does not need Michelin stars after it's name. Limited menu but that's sometimes good because it means they know what they make best. There's even a few vegetarian options. This place reminds me more of an eatery you would find in Los Angeles, so I hope they branch out there. Hint, hint. read more

Wow! Delicious home cooked food. Simple service. Veal goulash, pork with dumplings - really, really tastes. Save room for the dessert. It's worth it. Thanks guys- we loved our meal! read more

Really great food, small menu but if your not picky you're gonna love everything, and the menu changes. People who work here are really nice too. read more

SchachtelWirt serves great Viennese food. It is a very small restaurant, so many customers order take aways which is what I did. I ordered the roasted pork shoulder with potato dumplings and sauerkraut, their signature entree. Everything was mixed into a paper box with folding lids (as other reviewers has said,like a Chinese food take away carton). I had to walk 20 minutes to my hotel. I could have microwaved the box a little bit to re-warm the food, but it was unnecessary. The food was very tasty and the ingredients high quality. The sauerkraut was a little bit too salty for my taste, it everything else was great. I appreciate SchachtelWirt had an English menu and this staff was patient and helpful. read more

Very nice traditional Hungarian dishes, in an industrial/techno setting. Attractive prices and very friendly service.

5 rotating options, so not good for picky eaters, but food tastes amazing and the atmosphere is young and hip. The meat is done very well.

Delicious street food made with love. Menu is small, and everything we had was super flavourful. The two guys behind the counter were very friendly and seemed to be having fun, despite a quiet, cold and rainy night. Glad we found this place! Highly recommend it if you are looking for traditional food in a fun and quirky place. read more
