Food was delicious and served in extremely large portions. Most of the patrons from what I saw couldn't finish their two slices of schnitzel. The price for that big a portion is definitely worth it. The potato salad and cucumber slices were refreshing and was a life saver when tackling those large pieces of meat. 😆 Unfortunately, because of the constant deep frying, the room is filled with oil smell, which might be off putting for some people. Also, there aren't too many seats, so might have to share a table with someone else - just a heads up in case that's an issue. Went here searching for the traditional veal schnitzel, turns out it's not available here. Ate the turkey schnitzel, with the thin breading that is not the crispy typed one as i think it contains egg, also thick turkey with flavors that indulged in beautifully! Salad was just okay, it's part of the package, but if you want to choose another type of salad, you can order separately. There will be a long queue, so it's somewhat better for late lunch or early dinner (fewer people in the line) It’s about the service and the experience. The waiter has character and lends to the ambiance. Be late and be prepared for a line outside the place. The food is great Viennese, the value is great. But you never know when you gonna bump into a celebrity popping in. Give it a visit. It’s worth the wait.

This place was great. Classic atmosphere. It feels like you’re traveling into the past with how everything looks. Servers are DIRECT and very very busy. It’s a popular spot. So have patience and don’t get offended. I wanted schnitzel, but I also didn’t want it to be too dry for me, so I had the bolognese version. It was very very tasty. I honestly wished that I had their schnitzel throughout our trip in Austria as some were just a bit too dry compared to this place. Also, Ed Sheeran. This was recommended to us by our server from lolo and Lola named daisy. She’s awesome.

Not coming here again.. EVER ! You can get a MUCH better dining experience, taste AND service at a Wusterlstand anywhere in Vienna.. Better to eat outside if you’re visiting in summer because the inside doesn’t have air conditioning and can get stuffy.. You will have to wait for a bit, get your name in the waitlist as it is mos def tourist and insta hotspot… Ordered the no. 1 item on the menu i.e. the Schnitzel… underwhelming… The schnitzel came quickly but the server was something else… asked for cutlery that came by the time the schnitzel was cold… The schnitzel was flavorless and didn’t taste as much as the hype around this place was… completely underwhelming.. Asked for ketchup so many times that the people sitting behind me took pity and gave us theirs… Asked for soft drinks, which came but again asked the server to open them… after multiple tries and requests, used the edge of the table to pop them open myself… NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE AT ALL AND NEVER COMING BACK.. Maybe this IS how it’s supposed to be …
