Why Travelers Love Augustiner-Keller
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Reviews in the tens of thousands, is it good? Short answer, yes. Go for the beer and go for the authentic bavarian food. With them serving a towering monster sized 1 litre house beer its hard not to have a good time. If you are in here you have to get a pork knuckle. delicious and crispy, overall had an amazing time We were greeted with a smile and immediate seating. Staff were friendly and welcoming. The restaurant itself feels very authentic and historic. You really get a taste of German culture with this restaurant. For our meals, we got sausages and the München schnitzel which both we recommend. Prices were very fair and beer was delicious. Great spot for authentic Munich food and beer. The Augustiner from the wooden barrel tastes incredible, and the roast pork with dumpling and red cabbage was just perfect. Big portions, lively atmosphere, and exactly the Bavarian experience I was hoping for.

This spot is a must for anyone visiting the Munich area. The atmosphere is excellent and really captures the Bavarian experience. The food was good overall—though I found the mushroom and pretzel dumpling a bit too salty for my taste, the chicken was very well prepared and delicious. Beer, of course, very good. I’d recommend sitting in the self-service area for a more relaxed experience. Our server was efficient but came across as a bit tired of tourists by the end of the day—not unfriendly, but not especially welcoming either.

First time in Munich. Tried twice to eat at this restaurant for the savory pork knuckle. First time went at 10:30pm thinking it closed at 12am. Kitchens last call is probably 9:30/10. Got the boot from the waiter. Second time was greeted kindly, choose a seat on a large bench and pointed to another reviews photo and said I need this. Pork knuckle soaked in gravy and a huge polenta ball. The server was great, food arrived quickly, but most important the pork knuckle was crispy and fulll of flavour. The gravy kept the never ending pieces of meat and crispy skinn diving back and forth. I tried to conquer the meal alone, which is likely possible if i didn't eat lunch but I think it's really perfect for two. The atmosphere is bustling and full of energy. They also have a selection of beers on draft for the beer lovers. It's not cheap... But for a first timer, recommended. Give it a go alone or with friends!
