The three of us had one of each, so we could try everything, and all three were excellent. We had an excellent meal, I had the Rinderrouladen, which are thin pieces of beef rolled around a filling of onions and pickles, which came with red cabbage, mashed potatoes, and gravy - delicious! My son had Wiener schnitzel and a pretzel, and my husband had Weisswurst (veal sausages, I believe?) with soup and a pretzel. The friendly young man waiting on us cheerfully put in a to-go order for my daughter, who wasn't feeling well, and was happy to explain the menu items for me, so I could pick the best things for her. Great beer, great food, great service, an easy five-star review :)

The first time we saw this restaurant by the Gutenberg Museum, we thought it looks like a pricy,…read moretouristy place. But some of our friends tried it and highly recommended it, so we went for lunch to try it out. This place seems to be busy at any time of the day, and it's easy to see why. The place is modern and comfortable, on one wall there are lots of head silhouette... wonder if there is any significance who these people are? Menu is in German, and we find the price is slightly high, but not unreasonable, and the food quality is definitely top notch! They have the ubiquitous schnitzel, pretzel, sausages as well as other traditional dishes, but also have things like coconut curry soup and tempura, and vegan items. When we went there, asparagus was in season, so they had a special asparagus menu, listing about 10 dishes featuring asparagus: asparagus soup, asparagus risotto, asparagus tempura, coconut asparagus panna cotta... We were glad because, just outside the restaurant, there is this huge farmers market, stalls after stalls selling big fat green and white asparagus, but as tourists staying at a hotel we have no way to cook them. Now finally a chance to try the fresh asparagus. I asked my German friends, "You buy the asparagus at the market and cook them home?" "Ja!" "And you order them at restaurants too?" "Oh yes, we eat them several days a week. Because the season is very short." So what happen when the season is over? "We have to wait till next year." "They don't have them at supermarkets?" "No, because then they are not fresh they are no good!" Needless to say, we had the best asparagus of our lives, after which, we just don't bother with American asparagus anymore...

There is no menu in English but you can muddle through, I know you can. I had a lovely plate of cheese, meat, jelly, a hard-boiled egg, and some decorative fruit with a generous basket of bread. There was a liver wurst option on the menu that I substituted with cheese. There was a goat cheese on this plate that was really great. I ate little bites on bread and also had a chai latte. There is a cozy eating area in the back where you can sit and eat on comfy chairs with a coffee table. They also have books and magazines to read. How cool! The service was exceptional and lunch here was about $10-- you can't beat that especially for the quality and quantity of food. Thank you, Hintz and Kuntz for a lovely stop in Mainz.

Would absolutely avoid this restaurant!…read more Firstly, THEY DO NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS! It's cash only and this invites substantial opportunities for tourist fraud. I would highly recommend asking for a paper copy of your bill and checking it closely to ensure it's accurate before paying anything with cash. Our waiter simply verbalized an amount and wouldn't provide a copy of the itemized bill until I repeatedly asked for one, then low and behold it was inaccurate and he somehow accidentally overcharged us. The food was very mediocre and the schnitzel is very salty. There are lots of better quality restaurants in the area that don't rip off foreign tourists with cash scams. Beware!

That being said, there is an ATM around the corner, easy walking distance from the restaurant. There is an English menu and our waiter spoke enough English that I didn't have to use too much of my broken German. I thought the food was good. My pork knuckle, potatoes and beer was great. My son thought the schnitzel wasn't that good. That was disappointing. I tried some of his and certainly have had better. Nice outdoor seating area, with ashtrays on every table (yuck, but again, we're in Europe!). Not much of a view and not a real good location for people watching. Nothing really wrong with this place, but with so many other options, I likely won't be back.

They opened at 16:00 and my group was ready to dine at one of their outdoor tables and get eating. Their menu has both German and English, and I was able to easily find what I was looking for: a vegan schnitzel with green sauce. My plate came out with some thinly fried vegan mock meat and their famous green sauce. The schnitzel also came with a side of potatoes to complete the dish. Your slowly pour over the herby sauce onto your dish and dig right in. I gotta give it props because it was delicious and a banger of a local cuisine to get to try. Our server was nice and checked in on us periodically until it got too crowded. Overall, a really nice place to try some vegan local food without worrying about it containing meat.

I was excited to try it out, but I know I'm not a big fan of potatoes and meat. We all ordered the Schnitzel, and this food was by far one of the best dishes I've had in all of Europe. I don't think I have ever eaten so much in one sitting, but it was that good. Even the potatoes were flavorful and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for some stellar German food, I would highly recommend Erbgut.

Unfortunately, from the beginning my waiter was rude. There were also crickets (yes, actual live crickets) all over the seats. The final blow was the salad that I ordered with beef strips.

Then finally the receipt came and I was so disappointed. I could have gone to my favorite restaurant in Frankfurt and had a much better meal and experience for the same price. Just unfortunate.
