As we couldn't get a reservation at the Schönbuch Brauhaus in Böblingen, my friends and I decided to try the restaurant in Calw. The restaurant was practically empty, probably because of the town festival that was going on. Finding parking was pretty difficult as the parking places in front of the restaurant were closed due to the festival. I wish the restaurant would have mentioned this on the website and indicated where alternate parking was available.
The restaurant is spacious, with a similar ambience to the Böblingen restaurant. The menu is the same, and the deep fried pork knuckles were just as delicious, and the portions were just as gigantic. Just like in Böblingen, it was hard to get the attention of the staff, even though the place was crowded.

Read moreVery nice brewery restaurant on the river in Calw. Tasty local dishes and an excellent selection of beer. For a local taste, try a Cola Weizen, something I have only heard of in the south of Germany. Arrive early for both lunch and dinner as the place is popular and can fill up quickly. For parking, there is parking infront of the restaurant, alternatively, and cheaper, park in the Kaufland car park only 2 minutes walk away. If you buy something there the first hour is free I believe. Great place, tasty food, nice location, friendly staff. Highly...
