I wanted to write a memorable review for my very momentous 700th review. I think this one would…read morequalify for this very occasion. In Germany, particularly in Bavaria, stricter COVID-19 Prevention Health Measures Ordinance went in effect in early November 2020. The immediate affect was the closing down of all non-essential businesses including restaurants, retail stores, etc. I still remember how disappointed I was by this since it happened just as I arrived in Germany. Today we actually had a sit-down meal for the first time! Yay, things are finally getting closer to the new normal in Bavaria! There were several restaurants and cafés set up with outdoor seating on this visit. It wasn't a particularly warm day, and there was a little breeze to make it feel chilly. We chose Gasthaus zur Sonne because it was a little set back from the busy street. Just as our drink order was served, they turned overhead heaters and made it more comfortable for us. Service was very pleasant...maître de/cashier lady was very cheerful (perhaps almost over the top), and took our food and drink order right away as we were seated. Young female server was somewhat quiet perhaps keeping balance with gregarious older lady, yet very pleasant and courteous. Our food was very good. It wasn't anything fancy...just bratwurst and salads (beneath the pile of lettuce, there were assortment of typical Franconian pickled vegetables which we really like). Sauerkraut was very good, too. It was altogether a very enjoyable meal. They have both German and English menus.

Disclaimer: This review is only for the restaurant - not the guesthouse…read more My family and I dined here the day before the town's fall festival, so it was fairly busy and we were unable to get a seat outside due to the size of our group. The outdoor dining area looked like one of the best in town with great lighting, flowers, and lots of tables - would have been a prime spot for people watching and enjoying the nice weather. The interior was smaller, but seemed to have multiple rooms (we sat in the front one). Our server was extremely friendly and helpful, especially since there seemed to be a small discrepancy between the English and German menus provided. I ordered a seasonal special with chanterelle mushrooms, a cream sauce, and bread dumpling. It was very rich without being overly filling. Portions were fairly large and typical compared to most places in Germany. The rest of my family enjoyed their meals, wine and beer, although I can't recall what anyone else ordered - I was too focused on my own dish! I'd definitely eat here again if I make it back to Dinkelsbühl.

Fabulous service, wonderful food, and great atmosphere! Love locally-sourced ingredients and…read moretraditional dishes at very good prices!

Oh the sadness. We loved this place last year. This time (3 May 2026), the food was just not…read moregood. My wife had sauerbraten, which was sweet. Never before tasted sweet sauerbraten. I had beer-marinated pork tenderloin. 3 thin, overcooked, and nearly tasteless pieces of pork, served with obviously frozen croquettes and mixed frozen vegetables. On the plus side, the home brewed helles and maultaschen suppe were both good. Overall a super disappointment. And we had really looked forward to eating there again. Never again.

I did a bunch or research with menus because i really wanted Käsespätzle while i was in Germany . I…read morelooked like rain so i ended up sitting inside. The server was excellent! This review is not about the service. Sitting inside gave me a direct Birds Eye view into the kitchen... unfortunately. After ordering I had to watch the person in the kitchen, while preparing foods, eating and licking his fingers. It completely ruined my meal!! The taste wasn't bad at all but i was already too thrown off having to watch this the entire time i was there. I'm super bummed, my 20$ meal was left on the plate.

Wow! This place did not disappoint…read more From the attentive service, the great vibe and atmosphere, to the outstanding food...no wonder this place is always busy. I highly recommend making a reservation, especially if you have a bigger group. They have an extensive menu and can recommend the Schaufele and the Schmankerlpfanne (I know that's a mouthful)....it was definitely our best meal in Rothenburg. And be sure to try their selection of schnapps.

It's a very simple concept: grill a couple of bratwursts and put them on a bed of potato salad with…read moregreen salad with some pickled vegetables. It works very well. Frankonian bratwursts are very good. They are juicy and packed with flavor. Two of them are about how many I could eat at one sitting. More than that I would be overeating for sure. My spouse will shop at one. Potato salad: very good. It's a German type--unlike the one I'm used to in the States, mayonnaise is not used yet it is creamy. Green salad is well-dressed with oil and vinegar. Underneath the bed of greens are the very typical Frankonian pickled vegetables to complete the salad. I think there were: shredded carrots, cabbage, reddish, and sliced cucumbers. They are very good if you like pickled veggies which I do. Putting them altogether as the dish (e.g., photo), it's a complete hearty Frankonian superb country meal. You just have to trust my word on this...

We did not have a reservation but because we were early, they found a place for us before the reservation folks arrived. They even offered us menus in English, and could not have been nicer' Hands down the best German/Swabian food we have ever had....not to mention amazing service. We had the Schätteres Dreierloi with potato salad, the meat plate, and speatzle. Truly amazing...and very affordable. Recommend reservations, and make sure to take Euros or Ecard.
