Historische Wurstkuchl

Highly recommend. Service, ambiance, food, etc. Five stars. I decided to order something I never would, stuffed cabbage with mashed potatoes. I wish I could have eaten all of it. The servings was generous. Delicious. I didn't get my waiters name but he was exceptional. Thank you!

On a trip from Berlin to Prague we decided to stop and look for lunch in a picturesque German river town called Regensburg. We walked down the old narrow streets looking for something to eat, and by chance we found a small riverside building that had quite a lively crowds. This kitchen specialized in bratwursts, and I am not lying when I say these were rhetorical best brats I've ever had. Throughout our entire trip through Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, this was not only the best bratwurst, but it was the best meal. Nothing fancy, small grilled brats laid upon small but firm roll, and topped with the most flavorful deli mustard. We ordered several of these brats, and they were very affordable. The service was great, and the brats came out very quickly. You can peak inside the kitchen and see the grill masters hard at work. Then you get a tray designed to perfectly hold the brats as you take them to an outdoor table where you have a gorgeous view of the Old Stone Bridge that crosses the Danube. We later found out that this kitchen is historic. It is the oldest continuously open restaurant in the world. Some tips: Order a few per person. They are hearty, but relatively small. You won't mind filling up on them. Also, you can order the mustard online. I recently purchased some to have on hand. Cheers!!

Our Yelp pal Hal totally nailed it with his recommendation for Historische Wurstkuchl in Regensburg—what a spot! Stepping into this place feels like time-traveling; the back wall is over a thousand years old, and according to Hal, it’s the world’s oldest sausage stall. The sausages were fantastic, flavorful, and at just 4 euros, it’s a steal. We grabbed a few bottles of their famous mustard to bring home, which we’re already excited to crack open. Whether you’re eating in or taking it to go, the vibe here is unbeatable. The setting right by the 700-year-old Stone Bridge and the Danube River is just perfect—charming and picturesque. Service was a bit slow, but once we ordered, the food came out lightning fast, so no complaints there. It’s such a unique spot, blending history with delicious eats. Highly recommend swinging by Historische Wurstkuchl for a quick, tasty bite and a dose of Regensburg’s incredible past!

This is a super popular riverside restaurant with plenty of seatings but it’s so hard to get one of those nice outdoor tables. 😄 Our grilled sausages & sauerkraut, potato soup, roasted pork & dumplings was very tasty but slow. This is a definitely a tourist destination both good and bad.

Nestled right by the river, Historische Wurstkuchl is a charming and historic spot that truly captures the essence of Regensburg. The atmosphere is quaint and inviting, with a timeless feel that makes you want to linger. The highlight, of course, is the sausages — perfectly grilled, flavorful, and served with that classic mustard and sauerkraut. They even offer sausages to go, which is a brilliant touch if you’re strolling along the river. I enjoyed them so much that I went back for another round of six — and they were just as delicious the second time! If you’re in Regensburg, this is a must-visit for both the food and the experience. A little slice of Bavarian tradition by the water.

It’s a nice setting and the food is great and so is the beer. Great view of the bridge and close to a lot of things. They were pretty busy for a Saturday and toward the end we felt ignored but that can happen anywhere.

Expect very long waiting times for the to-go/take-away sausages. The sausages were good. The whole history was very interesting. If you‘re ever in town, grab some some to try! Highly recommended.

We were in downtown Regensburg by the old town bridge and were looking for some German food, given we only visit Europe every couple of years. Now, eating along the river near the old bridge can be a daunting task because of the potential wait, and food costs. However, two of us decided to share a dish of sauerkraut and sausages, along with some soup. The food was great, the service was good, and the staff professional. I hope that if you decide to visit this restaurant that your experience will be as good or better than mine.

A great taste of history Food was GREAT definitely worth trying a centuries old recipe. Due to the fact that they keep the menu short and sweet the line can be long but it goes quick. The price is also very affordable. They don't gouge compared to some of the other hangouts. in the tourist area.

Our walking tour of Regensburg took us to this amazing, historical spot and we had to indulge in a sausage! The building itself is in a really cool spot, which I'm sure is bustling during the summer, but we ventured over in December, so it was fairly quiet. Service was quick and easy, as they cook the sausages over an open flame! The roll, sweet mustard, yummy sauerkraut, and tasty sausages make for the perfect lunch or afternoon snack! If we weren't on a cruise boat, I would have come back again and again!

Delicious sausages and sauerkraut with mustard. This historic Wurstkuchl has been standing for over 500 years. There is an open charcoal grill and the homemade sausages made from pure pork ham, the sauerkraut from their own fermentation cellar and the well-known Wurstkuchl mustard. Delicious and worth the short wait as there is likely to be a line to order. They do have table service as well if you prefer to sit and place an order and enjoy your meal overlooking the Danube.

Located alongside the Danube River. Inside and outside dining areas. Wonderful regional food. We had sausages with sourkraut, bread, and beverages. Truly wonderful food, in my opinion the best sourkraut I've ever had. And the sausages were prepared and cooked perfectly. The beer here is definitely a higher quality than what we can get in Hawaii. They make a sweet and slightly spicy mustard that is a perfect accompaniment for their sausages. We asked if they sold the mustard and were pleasantly impressed at the taste and quality that all of us purchased multiple bottles to take home. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Loved this place and the city it's in. If you ever get a chance take it. Definitely an experience to remember.

This is a great stop for a snack along the Danube in Regensburg. There was a line for seating so we got takeout from the window and easily found a bench along the river where we could sit and eat. Super tasty and inexpensive, definitely worth the stop.

They are cash only. We found this restaurant while searching for sight-seeing and things to do near Grafenwhoer. It is arguably the oldest continuously open public restaurant in the world. There is a smaller building where you can order to go, and sit in their outdoor seating. Or you can sit inside in their formal restaurant. They are known for making dishes with sausages, but also serve other authentic dishes. We went here for lunch and I had the finger noodles and sauerkraut. They offer outdoor seating near the river and also have indoor seating. If you want delicious food that has a lot of history behind it, this is a must visit location. There are also a lot of shops and areas to walk around to make a nice day trip of this location.

According to the local shopping guide this is the "Oldest food stall in the world." How could we pass up giving it a try? Well, we couldn't! We ordered one of their traditional sausages on bread to share, mainly because we were still full from lunch... the sausages were smaller than we're accustomed to, but there were two on the roll, along with Bavarian mustard and sauerkraut. I thought the sandwich was good, and it was priced right at around $4. When you get to the front of the restaurant to order you can see the sausages being prepared. The decor is old world Bavarian and there is both inside and outside seating. This was a must do for us. It's very reasonably priced and quick. So if you have the chance I would recommend you give it a try.

Oldest sausage is also best sausage. Absolutely Delicous!!! You can also grab a really good beer but that's only to go. You eat you delicacy is a really cool outdoor area that looks onto the river which is great unless it's cold and rainy like it was the night we went - still awesome

You can't say anything bad about this historic eatery! It's the cutest little place serving up the best little grilled sausages ever. It's simple and delicious. The outside seating with excellent bridge views would be perfect on a warm day. There are only a few seats inside. Great beer, great sausages, great service, great history, and great views. It's a must-try in Regensburg.

OMG this is a MUST stop. Before or after your tour but don't miss it. Delicious food by the river what's not to love!

This was our first meal in Germany and it was amazing. In my opinion after traveling central and southern Germany for two weeks they had the best sausages of this trip. My husband loved the cucumber potato salad and has been trying to find a similar recipe because it is now his favorite German potato salad. Great food & Service.

Definitely a place to visit because of its historical significance. Wieners were OK. The line took about 30 minutes. We were going to bring our order to the outdoor table & eat. Unbeknownst to us, tables were only for dine-in orders whereas ours were considered take away. If we would had known, we would had sat down & ordered instead. Apparently locals know this & us tourist thought we had to stand in line. Be advised this is a CASH ONLY establishment.

How can you not stop here when in port! The aroma of wurst and kraut hooked me as soon as we got close and even though we had just recently had breakfast we had to stop. Be prepared for sticky fingers the mustard oozes out as you savor the delicious sandwich

I hate leaving a bad review when I haven't eaten at a place but in this case, it's warranted. One of the things I was looking forward to while visiting this city was this place. It clearly stated they close at 7pm but when I showed up at 4:45, they were closed. No apology and a "tough luck" attitude.

Went here just to cross it off the bucket list. I agree with the other review were saying that for the price it's not enough. You're not really getting all that much. Sausages are a bit too small and, for me, look like Nuremberg sausages rather than Regensburg. I had the Regensburg out of the wurst house downtown (see my other review and pics) and they were the larger sausages; much juicier and better tasting. Sauerkraut was absolutely awesome. Local draft weisen also very good. Service was fine. They only take cash. Wouldn't go back just because of the type of dry, small sausages but there's also an option to just get a couple sticks with brot for only 3,90. Only thing is you just can't sit down.

Food and beer are good. Had to try their schnitzel. 1liter beers are good. Good outdoor area to eat although not protected from rain. Hope to visit again.

They must have seen us coming and decided to take the stupid Americans to the bank. Another couple joined us and we ordered 2 plates of sausages with sauerkraut and one liter beer each. She charged us 70 euros. Make sure you ask for the prices/menu before ordering. We just sat down and asked what would be good for a snack. This place was our only bad experience in Regensburg.

Man...this is what I came here for. The historic and oldest sausage house in Regensberg. Built in 1806 to feed the workers that built the bridge. Located on the Danube with 95% of the dining tables located outside. You can eat inside but why..... The service was quick and they spoke English. For about 6 euros you get 6 sausages and sauerkraut. Add the BEST German potato salad for 1 euro. Bread is in a common basket located on each table for 1 euro each. Make sure you get the sweet mustard it is very good on the sausage. You can go inside and see them grilling the sausage. It smells so good! Beer list is short maybe six beers. One dark for me and a pilsner for the wife. Total bill was like 17 euros. Definitely eat here and I reccomend.

This place is historic, so of course you will take your friends there, you will eat there, but I advise not going in the winter. I have been several times during the spring/summer months and had excellent service with the waitstaff when they have the outdoor seating available. However, this past winter, at my last check-in, I took a friend and the three workers we're incredibly rude. The one waiter inside that was taking care of the tiny seating area inside kept telling us that we weren't allowed to sit i side. However several others walked in/out and he waited on them. They didn't have reservations but he kept telling my friend and I "No." And when we ordered the food to go, the female cook was very rude. She was probably overwhelmed but our oder was easy. We just wanted 6 sausages, no bread. Simple. She huffed and puffed, quite upset. It was ridiculous. We left and ate inside the actual restaurant instead. The waiter over there was extremely kind and attentive. I gave 4 stars because one experience doesn't fault my overall experience here. I will say that it is expensive for just sausages, especially when you sit and order. However, it is good but nothing truly special. Except you get to say that you ate at the oldest Wurst Haus in Germany.

I just love eating food that has a history behind it. The same recipe since 1806 when the current family took over. That's what's so beautiful about Europe. Places, buildings, bridges, churches still standing from centuries ago. I just think it was great to dine in the oldest sausage maker in Regensburg. The service: Quick and simple! It was a little challenging to read the menu but since the menu was simple it wasn't too hard. The food: Amazing!! The sausages may be little but they are full of flavor and so good. The sauerkraut was the best. Unlike I've ever tasted in America. It wasn't so sour like what I'm used to tasting. We also had the potato soup....that hit the spot since it was a little chilly out for this Hawaiian resident. I had a great experience not only because of the food but because I was also with my family. It was great! If you're ever in Regensburg, Germany definitely stop by for a bite.

The staff was nice, atmosphere was nice, food was alright! The problem we had was when we had to pay, our waiter then decided to let us know each roll was €1.50. We were under the assumption that they were provided since they were already on the table, when asked for more he said it was €1.50 for more, as in the whole basket. Could have been miscommunication but did not appreciate how this transaction went down. Would not recommend to Americans.

The best sausage I have had on our trip, they give you two small sausages with sauerkraut and Bavarian mustard(like a sweeter honey seed mustard) in a yummy bun. The place is pretty small so you literally order and they are cooking right in front of you, I loved being able to see how they cook the sausages and know it's all made fresh. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, and they are located right on the River you can eat and be by the water! It was pretty cold out(in the 30s(f)) but we ate outside cause it was a nice day. But there is a room for eating inside also right next to the kitchen. Amazing, would definitely recommend.

I'm basing this off of a visit from December 2012 but I can tell you that a) I can still taste those sausages, and b) it's worth a special trip, those sausages are so damn good.

I think this is more of an iconic place to eat than anything else. The location and history can't be beat and they are quick with the food and attentive to seating. We ended up sitting inside because it was drizzling and not all the outside tables were covered. We ordered a plate with like 5 sausages and rolls separate. The sausages were tiny and the bread was overpriced, but the staff was nice and we can say we ate here.

Cheap eats.. only if you get the 3 im Weckla to go! Otherwise, its pricier to sit down. Yesterday we were in Nurenburg trying their version of the famous 3 in a roll bratwurst, known in German as 3 im Weckla, at their Bratwursthäusle near San Sanbald. On our tour, we were told that Regensburg has the oldest Bratwursthäusle, dating back 800 years, and to disregard the ones we tried in Nurenburg. How could we not stop here and compare these two rival sandwiches? The tiny restaurant is located a half block down the river from the Stone Bridge. If you are looking at the walkway to the Stone bridge, go right and you can't miss the place, as you will smell the smokey goodness coming from the chimney. Like Nurenburg, they also sell the sandwich for €2,50, but if you get it to go. They do offer table service and with a small inside and outside seating. Prices are higher. You step into the kitchen and order your bratwurst. Unlike Nuremburg, who only gave me 3 sausages in a bun, Regensburg asked if I wanted sauerkraut and sweet mustard. Sure, why not? So which one is better? Quite honestly both were delicious. Nurenburg tasted a little more smoky, however, Regensburg offered me sauerkraut and mustard, so for an added bang to my buck, I'm giving the Historic Regensburg Bratwursthäusele the thumbs up. The sweet Bavarian mustard was so good, Stephen added more to his sandwich. I think if he could drink it, he would. Remember, take it "to go" and save yourself a ton of money. Just walk in to the kitchen and place your order. You can't sit down to eat, but there is a table outside the kitchen you can stand and eat.

This place lives up to it's reputation as the world oldest fast-food joint. Perfectly situated on the Danube River, it is a great place to people watch, view the water and the bridge, and have nice beer. The food was superb - actually the best bratwurst and sauerkraut that I had in all of Regensburg! The location, beer, the food, the portions, and the service are all worth the price.

Great place for a light meal. They have been there for years and know what they are doing. We shared a table with a family that helped us thru the menu. Great sausages and lovely beer!

I think this place should be called little sausage house. It's been around since the beginning of time or close enough. It's a tiny stone/brick building along the Danube just below the Stone Bridge that has charming little windows with flower boxes. You walk into the kitchen where the sausages of delectableness are being grilled right in front of your face. Try to refrain from immediately running over to stuff as many of those little sausages in your face as much as possible. Instead, go through the door on the left and find a cozy wooden bench, where they will take your order for 6, 8, 10 sausages on a generous bed of sauerkraut. Their sweet mustard on the table is one-of-a-kind - take some home if you can. Note: the bread basket under the checkered cloth is not complimentary all-you-can eat, you will be charged for the number of pretzels or rolls you eat.

Oh Yea! We were there as part of a Tauck River Cruise. They were busy in the early part of June and I believe they are always busy. Friendly random people you can sit at an outdoor table and enjoy Sausages, beer and their great bread. This old place is obviously a land mark. Its been there for over 870 years. Wow! What a great start to a great vacation in Central Europe.

I stop by here almost every time I'm in Regensburg. It's a historic landmark and arguably home of the bratwurst. Its located right by the Danube river, so if its warm and sunny enough, sitting outside is preferred to sitting inside. I was lucky enough to get a seat inside when I went when it was cold and rainy though. Service has been pleasant here with friendly servers (that speak English) and the food comes within a reasonable time.

My wife and I stopped here while on a Viking Cruise and couldn't have been more pleased. The guy in the kitchen told us it has been open for more than 850 years! It's super cute with a small room inside that has park style benches and tables. Plenty of seating outside though. Every city we've been to in Germany claims to have the best sausage but my wife and I are in agreement that this place takes the gold. We shared the 10 sausage plate. The sausages are small but packed with flavor and there are baskets of bread on each table. Be careful of how much bread you eat as they ask you at the end and charge you by piece. If you're in regensburg you have to stop and eat here. Not only is it the oldest sausage kitchen in the world it may have the best sausage in the world too!

Kind of pricey. For 15 euros you get 10 sausages. But they're pretty small. If you sit down and order the sausages it comes with sauerkraut. There's a basket of bread on each table. Afterwards, they ask you how many you had because they charge how many bread pieces you ate. Back in Los Angeles, we have something called Wurstcüche. That place is kind of a chain of 2 restaurants. But this doesn't compare. The sausages here are grilled and really flavorful. Put that inside the bread and eat with the kraut and you're ready for a good time. There's also the brown mustard which gives it an extra kick of sweet and spicy for your palate. The atmosphere feels so relaxing. There's picnic tables outside and you just have the Danube river to overlook. You see locals go here to just eat and enjoy the food. I've gone here twice already. If I ever get the chance I would go again.

We stopped in Regensberg last year as part of our Viking cruise-- and me, being all about meat and hopeless cholesterol levels, had to drag my mostly vegetarian wife to this medievil sausage fest. The place is small and ancient looking and if I'm not mistaken oddly shaped like a triangle. You order sausages and that's what you get- a plate of 6 or 8 lined up side by side on a bed of sauerkraut and a basket of pretzels on the table prior- say no more - just carnivore out. So good. I even got my wife to try one and she hated it - but what does she know...

Ordered and was never served after a long 30 minutes wait. Waitress never responded to our inquiry of why others were served and not us. Meanwhile she had time to kick out patrons who only ordered sandwiches from the counter and were eating at tables. I did leave 7 euros for two tiny bottles of coke lite. I regret doing that. Skip this tourist trap.

Delicious food. Our waitress was very friendly, too! We highly recommend stopping here if you are in Regensburg.

While this is clearly a bit of a tourist spot the food is still good and the service is very friendly and quick. We each got wursts with sauerkraut, I would suggest the 8 wursts as a good starting place fir an average appetite. They are relatively small, reminiscent of breakfast sausage links in terms of size but the taste is more similar to a bratwurst. The Sauerkraut is very good and compliments the sausages well. If you're still hungry, their deserts are also very good.

It's a big tourist attraction in town and expensive to boot. I am glad I have tried it. The sausages are good and the sauerkraut is also very good. The price of €12 for 8 small sausages is a bit off for me. But then again there is no shortage of customers here so it won't matter what I think. It is historical and apparently the oldest sausage house in the world. I am sure it will survive just fine without reviews as long as they keep serving decent food ;-)) I usually go here with tourists.

Other than being cramped in the winter, and not exactly your shining example of a great layout in the little guy, it's an experience everyone should have if they spend more than a minute in Regensburg. Sausages were tasty right off the grill.

Overall it was excellent! Nice location on the river with family style picnic tables. I had some great brats and sauerkraut for 9 euros. They have brown mustard on the table that has a nice sweetness to it. My husband had the 12 euro bottle beer that has 4 glasses he loved. I had the Prosecco for 4 euros and it was great. One drawback is they have a nice big bread basket on the table and in the end they ask you how much you had and then charge you. Wish we would have known before we started eating.

Best sausage we had and winner of the sausage war, at least by our palate. We arrived in Regensburg via a Danube River cruise. One of the city's many attractions pointed out to us was Historische Wurstküche, one of Germany's oldest sausage makers (since 1146, though the German federal state Thüringen and Franken, part of the federal state Bavaria, are still quarreling about who really has the oldest medieval "Bratwurst" recipe*). Our cruise director, Mario, informed us of a bit of a sausage rivalry between Regensburg and Nuremberg. He said we should be sure to try both famous sausages, and let him know which one we liked best. Well sorry Bratwursthausle Nurnbürg (http://www.yelp.com/biz/bratwursthaeusle-bei-st-sebald-nuernberg), but Historische Wurstküche wins hands down. First off, we liked the firmness of the sausage. Second we loved the sweet mustard (Süsser Senf) sitting in little pots on the table. One of biggest regrets was not bringing some of this wonderful mustard home, But I've since learned it can be bought locally at the German Deli in Colleyville, TX (their website indicates that have similar sausages too, and offer shipping). At Historische Wurstküche you have three dining options : 1) Take-away, 2) Sit in the old building, 3) Sit in the new(er) building (formerly the salt depot). If the weather is nice, option 1 allows you sit outside. Actually, maybe in nicer weather there are more tables, but on our cold November visit, only a small covered area was available. Sitting in the old "Garküche auf dem Kranchen", the old kitchen that provided slow-simmered meals for the crane workers (this started around 1146). Seating is limited, and hard to spot, but it is fun to squeeze through the kitchen where the sausages are being grilled over a charcoal fire. Since the kranchen was full on our visit, we opted for the adjacent, and much larger, Salzstadel. Inside it was warm and cozy. Timbers, still white from the salt once stored here, framed the dining room. We sat drinking German beer and eating sausages (Thúy made hers into sandwiches with the bread on the table) and it was one of the top 5 meals of our two weeks in Europe. Oh, one thing about that basket of bread on the table: After visiting both Regensburg and Nuremberg, we learned that the "napkin over the breadbasket" will mean you pay for each piece you eat. You will be on the honor system to tell your server how much you ate, but I have a feeling they know already. If in Regensburg, be sure to not to miss this historical eatery. * For more on the history, see the respective websites (Bratwursthausle is only in German, but you can use a translator), or see kuechenmeyster's second post (the source of my parenthetical reference) at http://medievalcookery.blogspot.com/2010/01/medieval-hot-dog-stand.html.

Well I feel outvoted a bit bad about it. This is the oldest restaurant in Europe (built to feed the workers who built the bridge. The location is gorgeous (as is Regensburg). The crowds are crazy thick and the wait will be a bit. Pretzels are extra, even though they will present a big pile of them. The sausages were quite good. Maybe I was "meated" out after over a week in Austria, Hungary, and Slovakia. You will spend about $17US - I am not a beer drinker but people around me seemed to love it. It was just too crowded and too much of mass food production IMO. However, I do vote that is a must-do if you stop in this lovely city.

This little gem has so much to offer--food and beer, a view, and a side of history. The kitchen is 900 years old and situated right along the beautiful Danube River. It's small, stone, and unassuming with rows of wooden benches lined up underneath an awning. Thankfully, only the kitchen is 900 years old. The food itself is fresh and delicious, and the beer was excellent. We had wursts and kraut and enjoyed the simplicity of it all. The mustard sitting next to the baskets of brot on the table was the best I've had to date. A wonderful attraction and lunch.

We ate lunch there today (inside [there's also outdoor seating]) with friends we're visiting for the weekend and we *loved* it (they'd eaten there several times previously). It's known as "the oldest sausage tavern of the world" - and our friends (a couple) shared a large order of sausage over sauerkraut, but we don't eat meat. I ordered the salad with roasted goat cheese (9.50 euros) - and my husband ordered the roasted potato dumplings (7.50 euros), which came with a small salad. Both meals had generous portions and all of the food was really delectable. There was also a delicious honey mustard sauce for the table and we used it on the bread. We liked it so much, in fact, that our friends took us to a small nearby store to buy some to take back with us (see my next review). Our server was TERRIFIC; he had a great sense of humor, he was very friendly and he was also attentive. On top of that, he readily agreed to bring my husband & me tap water - and when we asked if we could have large glasses, that was also no problem (a total anomaly in Germany).

If you happen to be in Regensburg do as the Regensburg do? I came here for a Friday afternoon lunch and wasn't disappointed. The sausages are small but come in numerous quantities. It was well executed and the accompaniments were the actual surprise. The rye bread rolls housed unsuspiciously in a nondescript bread basket caught me off guard. I honestly thought they were hard and dried out rocks, but once I cracked one up I was greeted by a nice soft rye flavor. The sweet brown mustard was quite thick but balanced the acid of the sauerkraut nicely. All in all the flavors on my plate worked very well together. Was hed down by a half a liter of Hef beer and you got your self a soup going. Ambiance wise it was a gorgeous sunny day so I sat outside on one of the inviting communal benches (there seemed to be about three or four rows of 3, and drank deep of the scenery and energy around me. If you want a variety of menu this isn't the place but if you want the best wurst you can get stop on by and pick some up and judge for yourself.

You'd think this is some purposely designed tourist trap, but it isn't. It's actually a place you're as likely to find locals as tourists and travelers. The location is perfect, right on the Danube near the stone bridge - in fact, you'll smell it long before you get there, and that was enough to get my group hungry before we even got a chance to sit down. The sausages are tiny - think breakfast sausage size for North American types, and come with great sauerkraut. A basket of buns sits on the table when you sit down to go with them, as well as the usual sweet brown mustard you'll find in most places in Germany. Nothing fancy or overdone, but a half dozen sausages and a nice cold hefeweizen or dunkel will be one of the best meals you'll find in Regensburg. It's simply not to be missed.

You walk into this tiny little restaurant, directly into the kitchen, where cute little ladies dressed in old-fashioned German outfits hand you a few skinny bratwursts on a roll with mustard, take your money, and push you out the door to make room for the next customers. Oldest bratwurst place in Germany, apparently. You should come by if you're in Regensberg. We had already eaten lunch but decided it was completely necessary to try it. I had to do it anyway since we have a famous sausage place in LA called Wurstkuche too, I thought it would be more than appropriate comparing the two. You're in and you're out at this place and you can sit and eat your brat at a picnic table or walk around town with yours in hand. I prefer mine on the go.

A must-do restaurant in a must-see city. After visiting the breathtaking gothic Dom and checking out the medieval Stone Bridge, we went looking for this historical place that we had read about - and the oldest restaurant in Regensburg So glad we found it. Located riverside right off the Stone Bridge, Historische Wurstkuche has outside seating that faces the bridge and water that's just a perfect place for a quick lunch (there's also seating inside if the weather's not cooperating). The Nuremberg bratwursts are really good and unlike other sausages, these are small and thin. You can order them in different quantities (we shared the 10-piece) and with a little mustard on the side, they were fantastic. Also delicious was the potato soup that was less creamy than the American version but just as filling. Don't know if I'll ever have the chance to revisit Regensburg but this was a truly memorable experience I won't soon forget.

Pleasant dining room in a nice location. We arrived off peak and the space was quiet enough for conversation. The sauerkraut and bratwurst were good, though trying this once was enough for me. Overall, an okay place for a quick meal.
