I would go back, but to be honest, go with a very large appetite, or order one with light sauce, as most of us ended up really full.

Waiting nearly 1 hour for a burger that you didn't order, or being told that you'd have to wait another 30 minutes for the correct one. The one other person who joined me received the correct burger (with fries, in which he didn't order) only to find out that the people next to us received our food, and we theirs. They didn't care or notice that their food was wrong and went about eating my potentially delicious burger. I on the other hand was totally not satisfied, especially not with the customer service of the waitress and bartender. They both just wanted to place the blame elsewhere rather than to solving the issue. The waitress wouldn't even ask the cook to expedite my burger but had no problem asking me to wait 30 more minutes and to have my partner eat alone. Not acceptable, not our first time here, and won't be back.

Came here after several other restaurants were already full with reservations. I was expecting a…read morereally great meal based on the atmosphere and location, but sadly was disappointed. While the restaurant space is giant, the menu is limited. It has bratwurst, schnitzel, pork knuckle, and about 2 other typical German options. I ordered a dish with turkey, pepper sauce, and spatzle. My turkey was very dry and not tender. The sauce was more of a gravy and didn't have a pepper flavor but was still good. And the spatzle was slightly undercooked and chewy, but was lightly seasoned and went well with the sauce. Not a lot of flavor in the dish, it definitely needed more seasoning on the turkey. The hefeweizen beer was good though with a nice light taste. So overall, I'd recommend getting a few drinks here but try somewhere else for food if you're looking for delicious meals full of flavor.

Sausages were accompanied by sauerkraut, bread and mustard. (Bread extra, Kraft extra). As I mentioned, lots of atmosphere. Since I had no car I can't speak of parking. A lot of people in the city use public transportation or bicycles. If you get the opportunity, go sit and eat.

For my meal, I ordered 8 sausages with potato salad. The sausages were amazing. If I wasn't a broke student, you best believe I would have ordered at least a dozen more. That's not to say they weren't filling; rather, they were just that good. The potato salad was good. Not much to say on that other than it is good. Finally, I got apple strudel. This left me a bit disappointed as it was average at best. Overall, definitely stop by after visiting the best museum in the world just up the road (ok a bit more than that but you know what I'm saying).

The bratwursts were delicious and we were very happy with the fare. However, we realized we found our appetites and hadn't ordered enough food. We tried to get the waitress's attention multiple times (6-10 times), but she ignored us, even as other tables were served and left. Finally, at 8:45 PM, we managed to get her attention to order more food, only to be told the kitchen was closed, despite it actually closing at 9:00 PM. I asked if I could have some bread for my hungry 1.5-year-old, but she walked away without taking an order. My father eventually went inside and spoke with the bartender, and we were able to place and receive extra food and beverage. I'm sharing my experience because I felt we were treated differently from other patrons, possibly because I'm Chinese and my son is biracial (my husband is white, British and American). No one should be treated differently based on race, gender, age, or sexuality. My son won't remember this, but I will. This was my first trip to Germany, and I believed here we would be treated equally. I certainly hope that when my son is my age and travels with his family, this won't happen to him. Change starts somewhere, and I hope this note contributes to a better tomorrow. P.S. The bartender stopped by our table and acknowledged our frustration and made it up to us.

Highly recommend a nice German beer with it. They do have a weekly beer feature. Also this is an independent restaurant, which means they are not tied to a specific brewery, they pick their beers weekly/monthly and that makes for a great offering of quality local beer. Their other dishes are equally delicious, if you don't like pork should I always recommend checking out some of their daily specials. On my last visit I have beef roulades, which are beef rolls willed with bacon, onions and pickles. They are also served with gravy and a potato dumpling. Make sure to call for reservations, this place is extremely popular with locals. Chances of getting a table on a walk in basis are slim to none.

The food is not as Irish as you would usually expect it to be, but it's still delicious and they offer weekly specials from all around the world (in addition to their normal pub grub). You can drink a variety of beers, but the cider is what get'a me every time! I'm not a big drinker but even I know that the variety of whisk(e)y they offer is far more than what your normal pub next door has. All in all a great place to spend your nights and have a chat with a random stranger. The staff is also very willing to strike up a conversation, so you won't be all on your own (if you didn't bring friends in the first place that is) I'll be sure to come back soon!

While wandering the old town and it's very nice market (and enjoying abundent gluewhein mit flaming rum) we settled down for a nice lunch at Schlenkerla. Great choice! First, the smoked beer. Not my favorite, but hey, when in Bamberg ya gotta try it. The menu was not extensive but that's not a negative. I think too many restaurants offer too many choices with too little quality. Not a problem here. My friends ordered gulasche soup; a baked potato with salad combination plate (with two "small" baked potatoes drenched with what appeared to be fifteen pounds of butter); very tasty sausage with very, very tasty sauerkraut; and what I ordered: Bamberg style stuffed onion with mashed potatoes. I thought I was being virtuous. I must rethink my definition. The two very large onions were stuffed with a pork/bacon/bread/herb mix then roasted. Delicate taste that paired beautifully with mashed potatoes and smoked beer/beef stock sauce. Wunderbar! Look, I'm not a fan of tourist traps. Schlenkerla is certainly well-promoted to all of the tour operators, but most of the diners were obviously local. The menu was the same for all, as was the service. Excellent choice, and highly recommended.
