Apple wine (tasted like apple cider) was their specialty. They also serve wines (sparkling, white, & red wines) but no beer. I noticed in the fully seated restaurant, most people just ordered the Apple wine and not food. The server were pushing the "special": goose (while goose for 4 people) not on menu. We also ordered rindwurst (beef sausage, pork knuckle, spare ribs, veal schnitzel. The goose leg was yummy!, however, the grilled spare ribs were hard & dried as if it has been deep fried after grilled. The knuckle also seemed to have been flash fried after braised. It got crispy skin but overall the meat was dried out. We had better beef sausage at the food stand than the one we had here. The schnitzel was a messy fried job. (I felt like the one thing should be fried well was not done right). The fried batter were oily and wet, fell off. This place maybe best as pre-dinner aperitif or post dinner digestive.

Really enjoyed our visit. Quite different to anything in the UK! I'm told that is very authentic to the Frankfurt region. The food was good. I had the pork shoulder with sauerkraut which is a huge portion of meat - it could have fed 4! Very lively atmosphere but the food is delivered quickly.

Several rooms. Book ahead for preference outside or quiet corner. Ribs were a bit dry on the edges but the serving was so big there was plenty juicy bits. My server was a friendly man from Portugal. English menus are available. Just ask.

Visited Adolf Wagner, also known as Apfelwein Wagner – Traditionslokal seit 1931, and it took us a moment to realise both names referred to the same place! Once we figured it out, we were glad we went — the experience was great from start to finish. We ordered the Ribs and Sauerkraut, and when it arrived, the “pork chop ribs” turned out to be exactly what we were expecting. It absolutely did not disappoint — incredibly soft, full of flavour, and complemented perfectly by the sauerkraut. We also tried some of the classic Frankfurt dishes, which were just as enjoyable. I also really liked the apple wine here compared to other places — it wasn’t too sour or vinegary. Instead, it was smooth, balanced, and genuinely easy to drink. Service was excellent, too. From the moment we walked through the door, we were greeted immediately and shown straight to a table despite the busy atmosphere. A wonderful traditional spot with delicious food, great apple wine, and warm service — definitely worth a visit!

Very busy & social spot for German cuisine in Frankfurt Sud. Great for medium to large groups. Food is good but nothing special unfortunately. Tried apple wine for first time, not really my thing.
