I was going to get the Spare Ribs (but they ran out), for next time. We got: Vienna Schnitzel (4.5 stars) - the portions are large, we got 2 pieces for around 16Euros. Slow cooked Beef (4.5 stars) - large potion great taste. We finished off with apple strudel which was a great way to end the meal. We will be back.

Came here after seeing excellent reviews on Yelp…read more Not impressed. Waited about 15 mins to get seated even though multiple tables were empty. The staff is limited and looks exhausted. Quite tight seating. Restrooms are not accessible by people with limited mobility. No baby changing stations. The food is okay. The schnitzel was fine and so was lamb. Okay to eat but not memorable. Caprese salad was tasty. In conclusion, if you are passing by and hungry, feel free to stop by. If you are looking for a memorable lunch/dinner experience, plan to visit a different establishment.

In the land of Schnitzels, how does one decide on which has the best? We were referred to Gasthaus…read moreand decided to try it out. Besides Schnitzels, they have a lot of other traditional comfort foods. I had the schnitzel cordon bleu. The meat was perfectly fried and stuffed the ham and cheese was delicious. Don't forget to ask for extra lemon to put on the huge schnitzel! It also comes with a side salad which was average. This restaurant is little off the beaten path and I wouldn't necessary come out of my way to eat here. But if you are staying in this neighborhood, it's a good choice The service here is really friendly and it feels like a family owned business.

Their version of tafelspitz had fried breadcrumbs on top of the beef and was served with an herbed bread pudding. I liked their take on it. While I enjoyed my lunch, I thought the prices were quite high for what I got (1 star off). The total came out to around €65, which included a bottle of water for €7.50. The wooden booths were uncomfortable. Not only were they hard to sit on, they were difficult to get in and out of if you were dining with a group. The wooden booths did add to the old Austrian gastropub charm though. Service was kind of hit-or-miss (1 star off). Our waiter started out nice, but became increasingly absent throughout the meal. At the end of the meal, we asked for split checks and he became visibly annoyed. He split the check randomly and unevenly (?) and we had to ask him to split it properly. This of course irritated him more. I didn't think our request was unreasonable. We could not have been the first group to ask for split checks.

Food dreams can be restored in future nights to come. I guess I just did not care what anyone thought. I took pics anyway. I just thought I was being sensitive to other patrons. Let's just say I tried to not be too obnoxious about it. So, yes I did consume with my camera first! I can say with absolute certainty, that this was our most perfect and intimate dining experience in Vienna. It was just lunch! The surrounding patrons appeared to be locals with huge platters of piping hot Wienerschnitzel, succulent looking meat falling off the bone....oh my, I could go on and on. Lord help me, that was a great experience. I ordered an exquisite Riesling that was perfect with my meal. I ordered the Goose Soup to start with. I shake my head now in disbelief of how perfect this soup was and LUSCIOUS. It had this potato dumpling in the middle that absorbed the creamy broth with every single bite. I was sad to see the dumpling and soup go away as I savored every spoonful. My husband had a potato soup that included mushrooms and he was pretty much freaking out about his soup as much as I was (in his own, subdued, calm manner....opposite mine!). Then Meine Damen und Herren. We have the Weinerschnitzel. Oh my goodness. We split the massive and simply prepared veal weinerschnitzel with the lemon wedge squeezing the only and perfect seasoning you need for this deliciousness in front of you. I cannot even express the greatness of the potato salad that accompanies. Smooth and creamy mustardy goodness. I would seek out this restaurant again. If every authentic Keller type dining experience is this good in Vienna; I am in big trouble!

It had an extremely authentic feel (full of old guys drinking beer, which I took as a good sign). I got the goose soup, which was incredible.

Our waiter spoke enough English to get by with us, and they had an English menu available.

I'd rate Gasthaus Zur Eisernen Zeit four and a half stars…read more One of the few places that was open a Sunday afternoon. The gasthaus had a wonderful aroma as soon as we walked in. A smell of deep caramelization. We were fortunate to walk in as soon as a table left. All the other tables were occupied and many customers were sadly turned away. We opted for the classics: beef goulash and veal schnitzel. Both were excellent. Goulash had a rich earthy and savory taste. Felt like a lot of love was put into making it. Beef was tender. I requested a roll to mop up every bit of the remaining gravy. Schnitzel was super crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. It came with a side of potato salad. Drink wise, I started with an espresso with milk and then pivoted to a blonde ale. The staff was attentive and the pacing of the food was quick. Despite being busy, we did not feel rushed.

An overall solid experience. We walked in without a reservation at about 5pm and we're told we…read morecould have a table for an hour if that worked - we took that hour! Nice and cozy on the inside, nice ambient noise with idle chit chat from the other dinners, wait staff was very welcoming and were quick to switch over to English seeing we didn't speak German. Had a helles style draft that was refreshing and cold. We tried a celery cream soup which was warm, well bodied, and not too rich - just a bit of the celery came through. Of course we did have the schnitzel, a must with the potatoe salad - it offers a nice contrast to the fried schnitzel, we were told it's the traditional way to go and did not feel let down! The goulash was tasty, bread dumpling was interesting and complimented the beef well. Apple strudel was delightful, nice spice and tartness coupled with the sweet. A delightful way to end the meal. Overall, nothing life changing - but a nice meal in a warm and welcoming environment.
