Brauereigasthof Braustuberl - Füssen

I am an American in a foreign place. I am extremely respectful, and overly kind in my actions and speech. We have had an amazing time exploring Germany by car and we have fallen in love with the beauty of the land, buildings, roads, cars...and people. I do not pretend to understand how the Germans feel about me when I interact with them, but I will say they have been very kind or at least professional y courteous. I have no cell phone service in Germany so I am fairly limited in my options to search for places to visit on the go. Bräustüberl came up on my GPS. It looked sufficiently German from the outside. It was about 19:00 on a Saturday night. When we entered there was only one couple in the restaurant sharing a salad. We should have walked right back out the front door because we know the warning signs. Against our better judgement we ordered water , snitzel and a duck dish from the non English speaking staff. The other couple left and we drank water for 30 minutes in an otherwise empty place. The food arrived and things were off immediately. The French fries were raw in the middle and the Spitzel had so much salt it was not edible. The duck was blood red and cold in the middle. The potatoes that were with it were an odd color and tasted off. The thought ran through my mind that this was all done on purpose? It just seemed so bad that surely no one would think this was ok. After one bite of each dish we were faced with a tough position. Using the Google translate app, I politely asked the kind elderly waitress if we could leave because the food was not edible. She asked the cook who was a gruff middle aged portly man who claims to speak no English but occasionally speaks full sentences. He said that he would offer a discount on the Spitzel, 1/2 off. This brought the total to about 30 Euro, Including 5 Euro for waters. I told him we drank a glass of water and ate one bite of some terrible food and I did not want to buy it. He could keep it. I offered him 10 for his time and to attempt to bridge the gap and give him something. He said he would take no less than 30 Euro and offered to call the police to make me pay it. I informed him that I was not afraid of the police, they are my friend and they would help me resolve this. We waited and he actually called the police, who arrived quicky and informed him that this was a civil matter. I offered again to give him 10 Euro to settle and even offered 20 at one point to just put the whole matter behind us. He said he would take no less than 30 Euro. We left without paying and this review is a warning to anyone considering eating here. Don't do it.

This was a very convenient place for us to stay, since we were traveling by train. This hotel is located above a brew pub/restaurant only one block away from the Füssen Hauptbahnhof. Füssen is not a large city, so it was also easy walking distance...to the Old Town and restaurants. It was sort of fun staying above a tavern restaurant, but the restaurant was not crowded at night, so there was no noise. There are only a few rooms, and it was full occupancy when we stayed here. We had one of the apartment rooms because there were three of us, and there were two single beds plus a bunk bed, and a spacious bathroom. The room was fairly simple, but it served our needs. The staff was very easy going. The hotel reception desk was just the order window inside the restaurant. This was the only hotel during two weeks in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that took cash only for the room no credit cards, so don 't pay too much heed to what some internet sites and Rick Steve 's book says. We had to pay cash for meals only about three times during the two weeks. I have traveled abroad nearly 60 times in the past 40 years and only rarely have I need to pay at a restaurant or hotel with cash, except when I was younger and backpacking to hostels and eating at small places that catered to youth.

Took the hostess a while to get off her cell phone so that we could ask about being seated. Waitress was friendly and helpful, but the menu was rather ordinary.

There was a full range of local dishes and a choice of beers. I had been through a difficult day and they made me comfortable, at ease, and brought me filling food at a great price. The homely decoration of traditional tools and crafts reminded...me of the Alm restaurant in the old part of the town.

This was a very practical accommodation for us as we traveled with the train. This hotel is located above a brewhouse/restaurant, just one block from the main railway station. füsse is not a big city, so it was also easy to get to the old town and restaurants. it was kind of fun to stay over a tavern/a restaurant, but the restaurant was not crowded at night, so there was no noise. there are only a few rooms and it was fully occupied when we were here. we had one of the "apartment" rooms because we were three, and there were two single beds plus a bunk bed and a spacious bathroom. the room was quite simple, but it fulfilled our needs. the personal was very loose. the hotel reception was only the order window in the restaurant. this was the only hotel in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that accepted only cash for the room during two weeks - no credit cards, so don't pay too much attention to what some internet pages and rick steves book say. we had to pay in the two weeks only about three times for meals cash. I have traveled to the country in the last 40 years almost 60 times and rarely had to pay in a restaurant or hotel with cash, except when I was younger and backpacking to hostels and eat in small locals who are juvenile.
