Zur Goldenen Kugel — Restaurant in Pirna

We eat at a lot of restaurants and I haven't had to give a one star in a while. First, I will say that I'm happy that we were able to get a table and outside to accommodate the fact that we have a dog. That's about where the good stops. We ordered drinks, which I can't believe my husband ordered water for €6 but he did. Moving on. We ordered food based on allergens in our family. Nothing we ordered had mushrooms. One of the meals that we ordered, the steak and fries, did not come to our table. Instead another dish came which in fact had mushrooms. I ended up eating it which left my daughter to eat my meal. We were less than satisfied with the taste of the meal. I don't want to be too harsh because I know this is someone's livelihood cooking. My main problem arose when we tried to check out. They have a card reader machine, but the guy said he doesn't accept phone credit card pay. I told him ok and handed him my credit card. He looked at it and said he doesn't accept Visa or Mastercard. What restaurant these days doesn't accept Visa or Mastercard??? I ended up having to pay with cash which I didn't want to do. What would he have done if I didn't have cash??? It sucks to have this kind of experience with our very first German restaurant we've ever eaten at. We're traumatized for eating out now...

Well, German food is terrible in general, but here I found it to be the worst from the few places I've visited. How can you mess up something so simple as meat and potatoes so badly? Your neighbors (Poland, Czechia, and Austria) are masters at it, and they're just a short drive from here.

Also, they don't accept US credit cards (because they don't want to pay higher fees) so had to scramble for cash, as if it's the 1980s. I've traveled all over Europe and this had never happened before.

At least the...

SUPER!!! Ich war mit meinen Kumpels meinen 20. Geburtstag dort feiern. Zuerst hatten wir den Klassiker: Wiener Schnitzel mit Pommes und Ketchup. Es war so lecker, dass ich mir noch eins bestellt hab. Dannach bin ich mit meiner Famile zur Kegelbahn gegangen. Manchmal hag sie nicht funktioniert, da eilten ein rothaariger Junge und ein Teenager zur Hilfe. Sie waren sehr höflich, genauso wie der Inhaber des Restaurants. Der rothaarige Junge hat sich dann noch um die Kinder gekümmert. Sie haben sich sehr gut mit ihm ausgetobt. Sehr höflich von ihm, dass er sich freiwillig um die Kinder gekümmert hat. Es gab keine Beschwerden und die Gaststätte sah sehr schön aus. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner Abend. Ich komme auf jeden...
