Scheffel - Gößweinstein

Excellent traditional food, good service, reasonably priced, nice seating areas. I suggest trying their locally brewed beer or a good glass of white wine...

Don't go out of your way for Scheffel-Gasthof, but if you are in Gossweinstein and not in the mood for fancy, this is a great option.We had lunch preceding a wander through this terrific town. Two adults/two kids (hungry) and we got out for under 50 euro. The food was excellent, and the service was very attentive (despite a busy Sunday crowd). The wait staff was definitely a cut above the average, and very willing to indulge our efforts to speak German.The kids menu was as expected, and a good bargain. The adult menu had the traditional fare. We had a putenschnitzel in mushroom sauce and a saurbraten. Both were well prepared and tasty. The local beer, Wallfahrbier, is memorably delicious.Highly recommend if you are in town. There are fancier places, but if you want great food, great beer, fair prices and excellent service, you cannot do better than Scheffel.

Having done a 15km walk from Muggendorf we literally stumbled over Scheffel after visiting the local cathedral. The interior is a typical Franconian pub, still maintaining it's 1950s look and feel — but well maintained and in top condition. It's one of the places where the locals go for food and drink apparently, and for a reason: food is of very good quality at decent prices, the local beer (Wallfahrerbier) is well worth a try and the staff are friendly. A true family run restaurant.

Service: Quick and very attentive young waiter, e.g. we were instantly brought pencils and something for our two young children to colour in. Drinks arrived one minute after ordering.Food: Impressively fat-free schnitzel, chips/fries/pommes, bratwuerste, etc. Potato salad as good as made at home. Tasty and portions not too large. No complaints.Surroundings: Sat inside due to threatening rain-showers. Very stale smell. Beer garden looked good if the weather would be better.Main complaint: The table next to the entrance (from the beer-garden) was used as an office by the (presumaby) owner and his wife. On the table were a stale glass of something (water?), a newspaper, and a telephone. The man just sat at the table and scowled at the customers. At least his wife moved around, but her facial expressions were much the same.Overall: Good food, good service, so what do you want? .. Welcoming atmosphere, perhaps?

Do not go out the way for Scheffel-Gasthof, but if you are in Gossweinstein and not in the mood for imagination, this is a great option. We had lunch before a walk through this fantastic city. Two adults/two children (hungry) and we are for...under 50 euros. The food was excellent, and the service was very attentive (despite a busy Sunday crowd). The waiting staff was definitely a cut above average and very willing to deepen our efforts to speak German. The children's menu was as expected and a good bargain. The adult menu had the traditional fare. We had a turkey carving in mushroom sauce and a sourd rate. Both were well prepared and delicious. The local beer, pilgrimage beer, is delicious. Very recommended if you are in town. There are fancier sites, but if you want great food, great beer, fair prices and excellent service, you can't do better than Scheffel.
