To me it was the sort of place that once you were done with your food you'd still want to linger a while. The schnitzel with fries was always my favorite, and I seem to recall that it was reasonably priced. For gourmet food and upscale ambiance, you'd want to go elsewhere. But if you want some place that has sort of that neighborhood feel (although it's basically in downtown Mannheim), I can recommend Zentrale.

Attention students of beer: you can earn your beer diploma at Eichbaum with one test. It's not for…read moreany novice - you've got to know your styles if you're hoping to pass. Here's how it works: (01) You receive six .3 L glasses filled with various beer styles, light to dark. You also receive a sheet of paper with a list of over a dozen beer styles. (02) Match the styles you're drinking with the styles listed on the paper. This may require careful thinking, and there is no time limit. (03) At the bottom of the paper is another six styles of beer. You must rank the beers by their strength of ABV's. (04) Once the beer has been drunk and both sections filled out, hand your test to your waitress. (05) Your waitress will grade your test, and if you've shown your best beer knowledge, you will be awarded your beer diploma! While you're testing, you're going to need brain food. May I suggest the curry wurst and spaetzle? I love Eichbaum's version of their spaetzle, as it includes cheese and onion. One bite in, and you'll swear it's one of the better mac 'n' cheese's you've ever tasted. Best of luck to those of you up for the challenge of earning their beer diploma at Eichbaum - I hope you graduate!

My bad for not knowing German!) I have passed by this establishment at least 4 or 5 times since I was staying at the hotel a few feet away. I had a late dinner and was seated quickly (at the time, I was their only patron). Since I saw the jagerschnitzel advertised outside, I knew what I wanted to order. Food came out in a reasonable time and was piping hot. The schnitzel was pounded thin, breaded evenly and as quite tender. I'm giving this 3 stars because the mushroom gravy was super salty. I think it would have been better paired with bland mashed potatoes I might have even felt some salt crystals. In that regard, I'm not too disappointed with the uber sized glass of soda, as it helped cut the flavor of my dinner. The people that work here were nice and patient, though, considering the language barrier.

We came here when we were hungry from a day's walking around Mannheim's shopping area. We wanted…read moresomething simple to hold our hunger, so we ordered soup and some appetizers. I got the waldpilzsuppe (regional mushroom soup), which I liked, but bf wasn't so lucky with his Asian-inspired Thai-Kokossuppe (Thai coconut soup), which lacked flavors. However, the portions were big, so we were pretty stuffed when we finished the soup. The appetizers were not good. We shared the fried chicken nuggets with curry dip (forgot the German name) and the schafskäse (German baked sheep's cheese with vegetable). The chicken was overfried to the point of inedibility (if I were a food critic, then I would have sent it back to the kitchen), and the schafskläse was simply too heavy even as an appetizer. Perhaps we made less than ideal choices for our meal as they had pizzas we saw nearby looking tastier than our food.

I had been to Rhodos at least a few times before, but last weekend I went while sober and, well, I…read moredon't think I'll be going back. Rhodos is fine as a late-night destination in Jungbusch when you're drunk and looking for some munchies like fries and a last beer before you go home. And for some drunken dancing to loud 80s standards under a disco ball. But for a meal... no thanks. I noticed for the first time that the tablecloths are stained with grease and burned from cigarette butts. The food was not particularly fresh, especially the salad which, despite my hunger, was left mostly untouched. The tzatziki is probably the worst I've ever had. The Gyrosteller I ordered contained way over-salted meat which were only okay because the fries were good, and you can't have too much salt on french fries. Thankfully, there was a wall of old tomatoes protecting the gyros and fries from the invading tzatziki sauce. As a reward, I let them live and did not eat them. The bathroom was just disgusting. There wasn't even a seat on the toilet in the men's room. At the end, it seemed like my friend and I got overcharged by about a euro each. But I just wanted to leave (I'm no Cyndi Lauper fan) so I didn't much care. The only upside is the friendly service. They're nice people here, but like someone else wrote, this is no restaurant. Come here if you're drunk and like the music you hear on 80s hits stations. But if you do, just drink the overpriced beer and avoid the food... I wouldn't trust this kitchen...

So I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, and if I did, I'd be drinking the beer... but it's not a bad place.

They have an English menu as well, if needed. It was a weekday afternoon and it was moderately busy. We were seated inside at a long table, of which patrons sit together as parties fit.

I should have followed my lunch partner's lead and just ordered the soup, as it was very filling and had a nice flavor. The Nuremburg sausage was tasty as was the sauerkraut it was nested upon. I wasn't able to finish the portion since the soup filled me up. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in search of authentic German food in the area.
