Bayrischer Biergarten Gasthaus Zum Scheinheiligen Gaststaette

Went there on two evenings , really good simple German food guter wurstsalad weisswuerste sehr gut und schweinshaxe excellent; Waiter very friendly an efficient,sitting under trees its nice n cool on a hot day;

…it was around 9pm and “late”…and the drinks came fast (the owner brought them)…but having to wait for the (new) server for half an hour to get our order was just ridiculous (she preferred to get the checks for *everybody* instead of taking our order). Only after me complaining (with the “old” server that knows me since years and is lovely) we managed to get food. And the girl came 15 min later to take our order and was surprised we were not happy. Girl, get another job (she should be fired). Food continues to be excellent asparagus season is great with the delicious asparagus with butter, potatoes and fantastic Argentinian steak and the salmon tartar with asparagus salad. Definitely worth a repeat but next time I hope that girl does not work there anymore…

FRAUD! The woman at the counter with a heavy accent (Ich spreche Deutsch) took my order and we added a food item. She then handed me a call device for picking up the food when ready. The buzzer went off and I went for my small food order where I was asked for a receipt (keep in mind I had the buzzer in hand and my order was right in front of me. I was asked for a ticket that I never received and going back to the order station the same woman insisted she gave me the ticket. I am a native german speaker and she insisted me looking for a ticket that I never received. In conclusion I did not wanted to cause an event as other customers where waiting, due to a small minded individual. $9 Euro is not worth that! But to those travellers not fluent in the language and do not want to get cheated, Please go elsewhere! Darmstadt is full of honest and great Beer Gardens! Just not this one.

I’ve wanted to stop here on previous trips to Darmstadt but it never worked out. Unfortunately, it’s not the easiest place to get to from downtown. But I worked it out this time and spent a wonderful warm and sunny Sunday evening enjoying the setting, the good food and wonderful beers. There are two areas: one devoted to eating and beer with waiter service, while the other is self-help beer and snack area. Both areas have nice table settings under large shade trees. Very nice. Had great service from us high energy waiter. Would definitely visit again and just figure out how to do it easily. Well worth the effort.

Have visited the self service area many times good and cheap food but this time we were in the full service area. The food was pretty good, the service great, but I couldn't understand why the menu was so expensive. Meat dishes were all 22 30 EUR which I found remarkably high given it is not a high end place. I have eaten at the indoor part Zum Scheinheiligen and that was oddly, cheaper.
