Nobody can imagine the disappointment of stopping in Munich, putting my luggage in a locker at the Hauptbahnhof, sludging through the city in the cold, wet and snow only to find that my FAVORITE lunch/dinner spot in Munich for 20 years was GONE GONE GONE.....I almost started crying. Here's the backstory. I first started visiting Munich in 1987 and fell in love with the city and Bayern. As soon as I graduated college, got a job and started to travel I came to this place every time I was in Munich. I have family in Germany so now twice a year I head to Kiefersfelden to visit my little brother and his family. I stop in Munich for Lunch if it is a layover at the train station or for dinner if I am returning to fly home. Summer and winter like clockwork. On this particular trip I showed up and it was gone and I was beside myself. I went to shops next door and across the street and asked what happened. Did they move? Did they decide to stop the business? Nobody knew and nobody seemed to think it was as big a deal as I did. I tell people to go there when they visit and when people say "I'm going to Augustiner for a traditional meal when I visit" I say "don't waste your time go to Haxnbauer it's much better" So I had to get over it and find another place to eat AND THEN....this Christmas on the way to my brother's I stopped in Munich for lunch and went to another place with a friend and we just happened to walk back through the neighborhood LOOK WHO'S BACK!!!! Has a new name but still grilling meat in the window and I am hoping the food is just as good. I'd already eaten so didn't want to be a pig (no pun intended) I will be returning July 2024 to continue my 20 year tradition of lunch on the way to Kieferfelden. GO TO THIS PLACE AND EAT!!! You will NOT be disappointed.

Located within an outstanding bavarian looking unit, the restaurant gave us an impression that we are in for good stuff. And judging from the service standard of their servers, I am already prepared to give my 5-stars away. The server speaks in various languages and has a great sense of humour too. When we asked for his opinion over portion of food, he was genuine and told us to opt for smaller and economically friendly one. And he even allow a switch from potato dumpling (eeks) to rosti, which was not permitted in the menu. We had the potato soup, which was good but not great, but that doesn't matter because we came here solely for the schweinshaxe. So crispy the skin is, I took great effort to get through it but the soft juicy meat, on the contrast, simply fall away from the bone. The pork knuckle is flavourful and aromatic, and is no doubt an excellent tender piece of meat that is very well prepared. But that 1 star I took away was that 20 minutes wait time when we call for bill. Imagine missing the train because of the wait, gosh!

Traditional Bavarian food at its best in the heart of Munich. 🇩🇪🍖🍺 Place The place is decorated traditional Bavarian, you feel like being in the old germany here. Large wooden dinning room with benches and chairs. Service There are plenty of waiters all dressed traditionally as well. They speak English and they are fast to accommodate the people and also to serve. Food We had pretzel soup for starters. The broth was super tasty and the pretzel crunchy and salty. Really nice. Mains were pork knuckle and Bavarian duo(slices of pork and veal knuckle). Both came with potato dumplings, gravy and the duo with a salad. Portions are very big, and the meat was roasted to perfection with crunchy chicharrones. Delicious. Kids had turkey schnitzel with fries. Big portion, tender, well fried and breaded. 👌 For dessert we got apfelstrudel with a superior taste. 🍎 They have every kind of Bavarian beers as well as wine. We liked the place. Despite being a very touristique venue they keep the Bavarian traditions and the food is great.

When you go there, you should be aware that this is a very touristic restaurant. The ambience is rustic, the beer is very good. The food is highly overpriced for what you get. But at least the food is good. 25 € for the two potato dumplings (Kartoffelklöße) a spoon full of picked cabbage (Sauerkraut) a quarter pear and two slices of pig is really expensive. But beside that, it ruined our evening when the waiter was demanding a tip. In Germany the bill is including tax and service charge. So if and how much tip you pay is at the customers discretion. In other countries 10-15 % service charge is mandatory. But not in Germany, where the waiters get paid a proper salary. But some probably just get greedy. So if you want to have good food AND want to get ripped off, then this is the place you are looking for. By the way, on the bill it says “Do not accept any handwritten additions on this invoice" ... No further comment...

Another great visit to Haxen Grille (formerly Haxenbauer). I usually try to visit here every time I am in Munich, which amounts to once a year if I'm lucky. Google maps says this place is closed permanently but it is not It is just renamed, which was lucky for me. I opted for the beef broth appetizer, haxen pur entree, non alcoholic helis beer, and warm raspberries and ice cream for desert. I was not disappointed with any of my selections; Everything was perfect! The place was quite crowded and they seated us (a party of three) add a table that seats six. They did warn us that they could add someone else to the table, and they did. We met a pair of nice ladies from Northern Germany and had a pleasant conversation. It is quite unique being seated next to strangers when you are out for dinner but it is common enough in Germany and made the evening more interesting. I highly recommend!

***Update am 19.07.21*** Wir hatten wieder mal Lust auf leckere Haxn und wollten jetzt beim Haxnbauer wieder einen Versuch starten. Vielleicht hat sich der Service etwas gebessert und die Haxn ist noch immer lecker? Kurz gesagt: Wir waren dieses mal total positiv überrascht. Kein Schlange stehen, gleich an den Platz geführt, Bestellung nach wenigen Minuten aufgenommen, Doppelbock gleich aus der Küche gefahren und die Haxn 10 Min später. Service war freundlich und richtig schnell. Das war ein Unterschied zum letzten besuch wie Tag und Nacht! Gerne vergebe ich jetzt 5 Sterne, statt 4 wie das letzte mal! Große Klasse, so macht essen gehen Spass! 😅 ***Alte Rezession*** Wir hatten für einen Mittwoch Abend über OpenTable beim Haxenbauer reserviert. Trotzdem standen wir 15 Minuten dumm in der Schlange herum die sich vor dem Restaurant gebildet hat, gemeinsam mit Leuten die nur was mitnehmen wollten. Entweder ist hier reservieren sinnlos oder die Organisation taugt nichts oder wie ist sowas zu erklären? Das Schild, dass „auch Gäste ohne Reservierung“ einen Platz bekommen können ist ja schön und was machen die, mit der Reservierung? Nachdem wir dann nach 15 Minuten warten in die Gaststätte geführt wurden, erblickten wir zu unserer linken erst mal einen „leer gefutterten“ Tisch... der „Kellner, würde in kürze kommen“ wurde uns mitgeteilt... es scheint wohl Platzanweiser UND Kellner zu geben... weitere 20 Minuten später konnten wir endlich unsere Bestellung platzieren... Es wirkte auf uns, als sei ein Kellner für 100 Gäste zuständig und es müsse maximal priorisieren werden um den Laden am Laufen zu halten. Wir haben drei Leute gesehen, die echt alles gegeben haben... da bleibt natürlich eine entspannte Atmosphäre aus... Geschmacklich war die Schweins- und Kalbshaxn wirklich gut! Die Schweinshaxn war etwas trocken, vermutlich lag es an der späten Stunde aber da wäre noch bissl was gegangen... im groben und ganzen aber eine hervorragende Haxn... für mich eine 8/10. Was bleibt? Organisatorisch geht es wirklich besser! Die Gäste ewig rum stehen lassen trotz Reservierung ist einfach schlecht. Leute mit Reservierung sollten schneller bedient werden als „Laufkundschaft“ und wenn das so schwierig ist, sollten eben weniger Slots verfügbar sein. Das Essen war wiederum sehr gut...Lob an den Koch, würde er nicht so einen guten Job machen, würde ich hier nicht mehr hinkommen wollen aber so... probieren wir’s vielleicht irgendwann nach Covid wieder.
