Schwärzlocher Hof - Gaststätte — Restaurant in Tübingen

Wow, I never liked this place 15 years ago, but thought I'd invite my friends for a meal here and was immediately insulted by one of the staff. As I and a friend arrived first I thought we'd miss heard. After sitting in the, almost empty beer garden for 10 to 15 minutes, in full of the staff, the owner finally asked us what we wanted to drink. We have our order and the owner left to stay cleaning tables, over 20 minutes later a girl came with our drinks. My friends stayed turning up and after a while we were 8. It was a nice day so we were outside, despite a quick shower that came and went. The owner came with a chalk sign he's written saying the beer garden was closed. We had wanted to stay for food but after one of my guests who is in a wheelchair and couldn't order the first time, asked me to order him a drink inside we were insulted again and told that the beer garden was closed and that their wasn't enough place in the empty room inside. Since I've heard pretty much the same experience from several other friends and acquaintances. I will not be going back and the same is true for my friends who were there. We were all a bit shocked how bad the experience was. We of course didn't have the meal, that we had met at this place for, there. After almost 45 years of visiting this place from time to time it never gets better, and I remember being there a couple of times shaking my head at how badly the owner then and now treats his paying guests. Very much a Faulty Towers "auf...

I'm updating my review to one star as I've been here again. The vegetarian and vegan options I found really really bad!

Other than salads, they essentially only had 1 (!) vegetarian option and 1 (!) vegan one for main courses, both of which I didn't enjoy, especially not for the price. It seemed to me like they just really don't care if you're somebody who tries to reduce meat.

In today's age, I find this ethically problematic. This is making it hard for people who try to do the right thing! (Or can't eat meat or don't want to, for whatever personal/cultural/religious reason.)

This time, to me, this was a seriously depressing place. The servers also were unfriendly to us and hushed us along as we didn't go through the process fast enough (we weren't ready to order after ~5 minutes).

I did like the peacock, I give the peacock 5 stars.

This is a nice and friendly spot, I just wish it had more & better vegetarian and...

We visited Schwärzlocher Hof near Tübingen today for an early dinner on their beautiful terrace overlooking a lovely valley. The setting was fantastic, with a relaxed, down-to-earth atmosphere and even an adventure playground for kids. Parking was easy, and the place is both dog- and kid-friendly, which we really appreciated.

The menu offers typical Swabian dishes, which might take some getting used to, but they also have of other more standard options like Wiener Schnitzel. We especially enjoyed the traditional apple cider and even bought some of the mugs as souvenirs!

Prices are on the higher side, but overall fair for the quality and atmosphere. Service was okay - not particularly warm, but not unfriendly either. Fast and thorough!

Overall, a very beautiful and enjoyable spot. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxed, regional...
