She confirnm, check again and mention in german pommes.We received luke cold beer, and waited for about 30-40 min. for the food. Asked the waitress for it, 5 more minutes of waiting, we told her that if the food is not ready we would like the check. She came with a plate with baked potatos, and start convince us to accept it. Then she told us that it will take another 10 minutes for the pommes. We asked to leave. She start yelling at us "you must eat it".Eat the sausages, pointed on the plate, "eat from here, this is yours" pointing on the potatos "this is not yous", and the pommes will be ready in 10 min. We kindly asked her why she is shouting at us? And she said "yes, I am shouting because you must eat it".Never felt that bad, asked for the check which came with full price.I will never ever go near this place. Terrible servis.

We had asked a local where to eat and she directed us to this restaurant. I ordered Lowen-pfandl, spätzle with pork tenderloin and ham with au gratin sauce and béarnaise sauce-delicious! The bearnaise sauce really added to the dish. My husband ordered sauterbraten, he was equally pleased. I was stuffed but we had to get the apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce to share. The prices were reasonable, especially for the quality of the food (42.70 for two entrees, one dessert and three beers).The service was quick, boy does the wait staff here hustle. Our main server spoke English very well and they had English menus which was a challenge to find in some cities. The outside garden was a lovely place to relax and enjoy a meal.

I was also drawn in by the large chestnut trees in the beer garden.The food was OK, maybe a little above average; the only thing that was a little off was the texture of the meatloaf (really smooth and almost too soft). However, lots of pork knuckles came out of the kitchen while I was waiting and they looked delicious, with nice, crispy skin. If or when I go back, I'll be ordering one of those.Also, the beer garden is in a convenient location, but the chestnut trees didn't block out as much noise as I had hoped - it's not as much of an oasis in the city as it looks.There were also problems with the service. It seemed like all of the servers except for mine were busting their humps except for her. The server responsible for my section took my order and I didn't see her again until I flagged someone else down to try to pay - the other waiter then had to get her to come over here. (Someone else brought the food, too.) I would have gladly stayed and lingered over a second beer, but no one bothered to ask, even after the glass was empty for a solid five minutes.

The building was burned down and rebuilt in 1996 to preserve a traditional ambience. Unfortunately, the tradition was forgotten to make the inn accessible. Before the entrance are some steps, to the toilets in the cellar leads a narrow staircase. The beer garden is also not accessible. Parking is also not far away in the surrounding car parks, railway station and ZOB. Service: The service staff works flink and attentive, attention is given to a uniform appearance (pron, shirts/jaks). As a rule, they are also marked with names. Apprentices are also generally referred to as such (with the request to be somewhat more cautious in the event). Even if the store is full, there is no overload. Unfortunately, there was no question during the meal whether everything fits. Food: A gypsy carving for 12.95 (yes, dear friends of political correctness, this is still so hot here without raising the dirty guards in front of the restaurant) with salad plate. Supplements were Pommes-Frites. The gypsy carving was now without heights and depths, 3 pieces fried meat (fortunately not picked that I have already experienced), nicely juicy, the sauce with a mild sharpness and the pepper pieces. The Pommes were 08/15. The additional salad consisted of several leaf salads, cucumbers, tomatoes and a few carrots / celery strips. Was everything fresh, only at (yogurt) dressing (which was very abundant) I wasn't sure it wasn't fixed. The portion size was neat, hungry, without anyone standing up. (You must warn against various pawns that are almost impossible to cope with). So foreseeable when ordering extras such as soups, appetizers (e.g. Griebenschmalz) etc... Family-friendly is the offer on Sunday, where per adult who eats a main dish, a child up to 12 years gets a free dish from the children's card including 0.2 drink. This means that the prices that are not so favourable are somewhat positive. There are many children's dishes (about the late Zle with sauce). A cheap daily dish is also offered every day, but with the restriction: as long as the stock is enough. The menu is quite traditional Bavarian, culinary alienation is largely dispensed with, but everyone will find something here that tastes it. Ambiente: The ambience is traditionally rustic, without having to look old-fashioned. They do not feel like sitting in a relatively new restaurant for which the dark parquet floor and also the wall colour contributes. The tables only have middle tablecloths (which you can also keep clean), on the tables wooden boxes with prefabricated cutlery sertiette sets that you need to take out. There are 2 rooms separated by a wide middle course, it has a slightly dark but cozy color. The places directly on the kitchen or on the pass are not so cozy because there are always many people. There is still a nice beer garden, but it's quite loud because a busy road leads past. However, it should be noted that there may sometimes be a somewhat restricted menu in the beer garden. Fortunately, music scattering is dispensed with, but it can be quite loud because of the large room with full cast. And it's always quite well occupied. Cleanliness: It was as clean as possible, although quite a lot was going on in the restaurant. Dust scavengers keep within limits and when uneven places were due to snow or simply to the operation (there was no older dirt). It is therefore regularly thoroughly cleaned (probably by the trainers). No problem of cleanliness, but still one thing of the impression: the toilets are in the basement, the band goes to the corners, it is gloomy and sometimes a bit overwhelming through the vault. Price performance: It is not quite cheap, but of course you can also eat more expensive in Passau. It is of course a good piece of the very good situation due and the fact that tourists also like to come by. Especially 3,60 for half beer I find something ambitious, in the country we are still under 3 euros.

The pretzel was very tasty too. The beer was extremely good, especially the one that the restaurant produces. Beer was 4.40€/0.5L. For 4 beers and the mentioned plates we paid 50€ which I consider expensive for such dinner but okay.. Germany prices I guess.
