Thank goodness we kept wandering and found this place. I made the mistake of searching for "German" on the Yelp app, and since this is listed as "Austrian", it wasn't coming up. But it was a huge winner, and thankfully open late, as we had been wandering for a little while.
We went straight to the entrees, and mine was the veal strips in mushroom gravy with buttered spätzle. I had been searching kind of unsuccessfully for spätzle in Nürnberg with no luck - perhaps it's not a Franconian thing? But either way, I was excited to see this on the menu. And it did not disappoint. First off, the spätzle was tender with a slight crispy chewy outside, just the perfect texture for me. And the right amount of salt and butter, plus the gravy from the meat was just awesome. Veal was tender and flavorful, and plenty of nice sliced mushrooms in the excellent rich gravy. My coworker went with the "large" schnitzel, without knowing what large really meant. What they should have said was "Ridiculous American Sized Portion" but that still didn't stop him from finishing it. We were apparently both starving, they barely needed to wash the plates by the time we got done. Salzkammer absolutely hit the spot, I think easily the best meal we had whilst in Germany. Our waitress was friendly, no language problems when my limited German ran out, and they accepted credit cards (which, surprisingly, we had been kind of having a bit of trouble with). If I'm back in Frankfurt (unlikely) this place would be well worth a return.
