Ratskeller Wiesbaden in Wiesbaden

"We do not live in Germany but one part of our couple is German. Whenever we come to Wiesbaden I rest assure you - we are ending up here. Great food for good money... yeah the service sometimes is a bit slow but where it isn't after Covid when we look at "budget" meals considering the size of the portions. Each dish we tried over the years matches price value. Get in - have a beer - have a schnapps and enjoy the authentic atmosphere of good old Germany! Cheers !"

"2025 Review: This year I visited the place 2 times. Service was fast and friendly as usual. Atmosphere was cosy and warm. Hessischer Bellschou - Hacksteak was great; juicy and tasty. I like especially the Pretzel & herb cream dip Starter. However, I did not like the recommended menu - Schäufele - roasted pork shoulder. The meat was good, but the taste was very bland. 2024 Review: Excellent food. Went there 3 days in a row for dinner. Atmosphere both inside and outside were great, classic. Only downside of the outside seats is that I couldn’t really avoid those who smoke."

"Food was tasty! Servers are very happy to be working there and delightful, very helpful and explained the menus to us. we ate downstairs in the restaurant under the building, great atmosphere. Too cold outside!"

"This was the first restaurant we ate on our Germany and Paris trip. Our friends brought us here for the experience and history. The building is beautiful and eating in the basement restaurant was a cool experience with all the history. The patio however was beautiful and a great atmosphere in the summer. The food was the first German meal and I enjoyed the short rib and gravy with potatoes. It was heavy but delicious. My children ate their entire meal and my wife enjoyed her dish as well. I could have gone for more spice but that’s just me."

"Very nice establishment. I had the Zander fish and it was delicious. The leek sauce on the fish was a great touch. We had a going away party for a co worker and they were able to accommodate a large gathering"

"If you're a fan of schweinshaxe (pork knuckle), you absolutely have to visit Ratskeller Wiesbaden. It did not disappoint. The dish was a little pricey (for my budget), which is to be expected given the central location, but the portion was so generous that I couldn't even finish it. While the weather and some local renovations meant there weren't many people dining outside, the atmosphere was still pleasant. The only real downside was the constant loud hum of what I think was an AC unit. However, the service was polite and prompt, and the food was fantastic. I'd definitely recommend it."

"I didn't have food as it was 3pm and I had my fill of sausages at the Christmas market. The service was quick and the Andechser weissbier as good as always."

"Stopped by on my layover and it was a great dining experience. Of course the beer was excellent. However, the pork knuckle was truly a delicious surprise. Not too salty like they can be in other parts of Germany. Perfectly crispy outside and succulent pork underneath. Truly a great dining experience and I look forward to returning."
