Pretty much as good as it gets when it comes to rustic, german food. Great house-beers too…read more Personally I don´t care much about the decor but that´s all forgotten when I sit down to have one of their beers and a plate piled high with delicious, simple, german food. Service is quick too, could be friendlier though. Don´t let the decor scare you away - you want this. Trust me.

Yes we got lured in by Yelp suggestion and were not disappointed!…read more We wanted some meat, good portions and old interior(historical)! This place has it all! We had to wait on a list for 30+ minutes, BUT this shouldn't disappoint you! Take a beer, get comfy at the bar and just relax, observe the buzz, passing dishes, people, interior and enjoy your drink building up and appetites:) Menu is great! If at the time you go there they have goosr = slam the menu close and just order it!!! Also any other meat dishes would be great! Schnitzels won't disappoint you either:) Amazing place!

Great interior with multiple rooms. I was seated in the Jägerstube (hunters lounge) which was…read moreabsolutely authentic and cozy on a rainy day. Service was engaging and efficient. The waiter made recommendations when i was trying to decide between options to accompany my asparagus, as well as my wine selection. Side note: an older woman at the next table brought flowers for her dinner party. The waiter found just the right size of vase to hold them. Very kind. I didn't have a reservation but was seated at a table which was free for an hour before the reserved party arrived. I like to peruse a menu and dally over my meal, but in this case I knew what I wanted and the kitchen was fast. The recommended wine was well chilled and did accent the asparagus nicely. The meal plating was very attractive. The asparagus was peeled perfectly and a good flavor. A couple of stalks were still on the crisp side, but I like that too. The potatoes were well cooked. The fish was a large filet with a lightly crusted exterior but unfortunately a tad dry. The hollandaise was delicate but not quite enough for the portion. I also found a small bit of eggshell in it. The waiter reacted to these tiny flaws gracefully and presented me with a complimentary dessert- Herrencreme (a boozy vanilla crème dish). Absolutely delicious. It is on the pricy side but white asparagus and salmon are expensive ingredients. The meal and dessert took less than an hour and I didn't feel rushed. A tribute to a well organized team.

This is certainly the best gutbürgerliche (traditional German food) restaurant in central Hannover…read moreand may be one of the best of this increasingly rare type in all of Germany. The Schweinshaxe and Eisbein are especially fine, the former exploding with molten fat from perfectly crisped skin. I rate Max W. at five stars for doing what it does so well, but to enjoy it--indeed to eat there at all--you must adhere exactingly to its Unwritten Laws. Despite its working man's prices and an interior looking like a down-at-heel Studentenkneipe this is a feinschmeker (gourmet) restaurant and must be treated as such. You need to reserve by telephone at least several days in advance, and humbly offer them an appealing number of diners (ideally either four or six: they have only 25 places at tables and four stools at the bar and must be ruthless about maximizing their yield: do not even think of asking for a table for one; they will simply refuse (reserve--and you do still need to reserve--a seat at the bar). Persons wandering in without a reservation hoping for a table--and especially tourists without German--are treated with fine forthright traditional north-German rudeness: "Nein! Nein! Weg! Weg!" (Sometimes in chorus.) This is a performance--once one has actually received permission to eat there the staff are warm and charming in a rough, Hannover, sort of way--but, I guarantee you (having suffered this) that you will not recognize the tone of your expulsion as a jolly act when it occurs, nor will you notice the ironical pleasure the regulars are taking in your fate, because you have just become a familiar--three or four times an hour--and well-loved part of the evening's entertainment. This is the same particularly German form of quiet rejoycing at the artful humiliation of others that has made Sven, the cruel bouncer at Berlin's legendary Berghain dance club, a figure of national affection. Those refused entry at Max W. become a special German sauce on the already superb food. And whether you end up as a diner or back on the pavement with your head spinning, either way you have had a perfectly authentic Hannover experience.
