Zum Schießhaus

2025.10 Reservation is highly recommended for this restaurant. We arrived without a reservation before 6 pm and were told that no indoor tables would be available until after 8 pm. We were able to get a table outside in the backyard right away, but our order took about 40 minutes to arrive. We tried the pork knuckle and schnitzel; both were decent, though nothing spectacular. Note that the pork knuckle is large enough to share between two people.

We popped into this restaurant without a reservation. The staff were kind enough to find us a table. In general, they were helpful and had a nice attitude. We ordered two soups and three schnitzels and asked if they could bring my kid’s food out with the soups. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and he had to wait around 40 minutes for his meal. The soups were very thick, and the potato soup was overly salty. I asked them to change it, which they did—though I suspect they just diluted it with hot water, as it came back completely tasteless. I ordered a “winter version” of schnitzel, though the menu didn’t explain what that meant. It was described as schnitzel topped with chicken ragout, mushrooms, and served with fried potatoes. Unfortunately, the ragout didn’t pair well with the schnitzel—it made everything soggy and unpleasant. The Worcestershire sauce used in the coating was overpowering, and a large portion of the schnitzel was burnt. In some parts, there wasn’t even meat—just oily coating soaked in sauce. The fries were clearly frozen, not the delicious pan-fried potatoes with bacon that we were expecting. The vegetables on my kid’s plate appeared to be from a can. I won’t be returning, and the two stars are only for the staff. The food reminded me of the overly salty, greasy, and unbalanced flavors often found in Turkish-Italian fusion spots—places where an Italian kitchen is run by non-Italians, serving something that looks Italian but lacks the balance and subtlety. Like when you order a pizza and they’ve added kebab on top—completely overpowering and out of place. The schnitzels here gave off that same extreme, unbalanced, salty flavor

We have our Pork knuckles lunch here. The portion is large enough for us. The restaurant is ambient is fill with the Christmas vibes and cosy.

Lovely authentic German meals. Cute restaurant and garden area. The servings were WAAAY bigger than expected. Excellent schnitzel and pork knuckle.

Went there two nights in a row - super delicious food, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff.

It was really busy on a Thursday evening but the friendly staff found us a table after only a few minutes wait. The service was excellent, the atmosphere wonderful and the food was exceptional!

Great menu with a large selection of delicious meat dishes. The food served looked very good, large portions, average taste. Waiters were friendly but inattentive and overwhelmed. We needed a lot of patience to be able to order something else, the table was not cleared for ages and we had to keep asking to finally receive the bill.

Food might be authentic (we won’t know) but to us they were average at best. Service was below average. We had to go to find our waitress for everything we needed. The restaurant wasn’t even busy, just 2 tables when we were there 🙄. Nice rustic decor.

Rude. Cancelled my reservation with hardly any notice. When I called to ask what had happened, first person claimed she knew English but didn't. Just yelled into phone that she had no room for 2 people to come that night. Second person knew more English but wasn't much more helpful. Find somewhere else to eat.

Me and Hubby found this quaint pub full of charm. Hubby loved his schnitzel. My bratwurst had a different seasoning... not bad, but not a favorite. The service was friendly. Prices were on the high end.

My daughter and I ate here our last night in town. Everything about the experience was great. First, the building and the beer garden were perfect -- not touristy in the least, and sitting outside was just great. (There is a park behind the beer garden, so the overall vibe is super chill.) As for the food and drink, they exceeded our expectations. After having eaten out a lot over a two-week trip, the food here was much better than most of the places we visited in Germany. The pasta my daughter had was great -- lots of fresh veggies mixed in and it was her most memorable dish the entire two weeks. I had the white asparagus with a schnitzel and could not have been happier -- the asparagus and hollandaise sauce was outstanding, and the schnitzel one of the better I had all trip. As for the service, the folks who helped us were polite, funny and cool. I highly recommend this establishment. So glad we found it. Highly, highly recommended!!

Food is outstanding nice ambience reservations recommended as the place fills up fast

So delicious. I adore German food and this restaurant excels at it. The roasted, smoked pork neck was to die for. The sauerkraut was kind of creamy and the potatoes were OK. Dry White House wine was great. Service was good - not very busy so we got seated and served right away. Great atmosphere with taxidermy being the main theme. There is also a nice outdoor area where diners can sit. The restaurant is located about a 10-minute walk from the main square and it's easy to find. I recommend it if you like substantial German dishes.

This restaurant was really good. I had the beef remoulade with dumplings and red cabbage. Not surprisingly there was lots of gravy on the plate. This is one of the best dinners I have had traveling around Berlin and Dresden. The wife had potato soup with a cut up frankfurter inside of it. It was good soup but did not need the frankfurter. For desert we shared an Apple Strudel it was hot, right out of the oven with a scoop of vanilla and a heap of fresh whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. The food was delicious and I wished I could eat here another day but I had to leave. You may need a reservation, it's a small place and although it was full we ate at the bar!

We really liked this tucked away German gem! The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the food was excellent! I had traditional German perk schnitzel which was very tasty! The service was good. It was a little out of the way and little pricy but worth it! I would recommend going if your looking for traditional German cuisine in Dresden.

I really like this place, this is no doubt 5 stars for me. Why I said that. Let's see. First of all, the restaurant has a really nice interior design. It really made me feel like I was in a really cool and cultural when I walked in. It's also very family like but some how romantic as well. The restaurant has 2 floors, it was a actually a small dining house. I didnt get the chance to check out the up floor, because there wasThere was quite a big garten behind the house. That allow guests to have their meal there and a small playground for the kids. I was sitting outside and having nice meal with my love one, it was a wonderful time. So let's talk about the food here. I ordered "Spareribs von der Wolfsschlucht". It was quite delicious. With Weißbier together just amazing. The potion of one dish was really more than enough. My partner ordered the "Grillpfanne", it looked great and he liked it very much. There were many other dishes on the menu which seem amazing. After one dish, we were completely full. So next time then. Location ist ok. It actually took us actually smal while to find the palce. But great to have meal. It's kinda out of the tourist zone, but yet quite close to the Zwinger. After our meal, we actually did walked from here to there. It took around 10 mins, not far. And the prefect Weather was really great. We both enjoy the walked very much. If i ever visit Dresden again, I am sure will come here again.

Great German food a short walk from the touristy zwinger area. Not far off the beaten path can one find a traditional and authentic German restaurant. The food was incredible, my wife got schnitzel and I got pork neck. Portions were exceptionally huge way over the normal European standards. If the weather is nice eat in the beer garden. It has great ambiance. He waiters and waitresses were very nice and friendly. However, their English was not that great so it's important to know what you want. They do have English menus upon request as well. Sit back and relax with the slower pace of eating in Europe. The food isn't as fast as a place like chipotle, but that's part of the fun and allure. Order a beer and relax! Definite must for those visiting Dresden! If you live there it's a place that could become a regular stop!

We couldn't find parking where we originally planned to eat and ended up here. Glad we did! Good food, very big portions, nice atmosphere, and friendly staff. The sampler platter of the rump steak, pork neck, etc. was delicious. It came with giant helpings of potatoes and green beans as well as sauerkraut.

The food was spectacular. The husband had the black pudding, and it was absolutely righteous! I had the schnitzel and it was wonderful. I did not expect the huge portions. And the hospitality of the staff was great.

The food was good but not perfect. Service was also not perfect. For the money payed, i would expect more professional service and better food. However if you are hungry and looking for german classics you will be ok here

We went there on our only night in Dresden because Yelp's reviews. We had spare ribs which were no more than ok. Not good, not juicy, but we were hungry and ate. The rump stake, one of the most expensives dishes on the menu, was bad as well. Kids meal - chiken schnitzel was great, so were the fries. We ordered tap water, ended paying 11 (Eleven !!!!) $ for 2 cans. My fault for assuming tap water are for free (they said it was mi eral though). Bottom line - nice beer garden for drinking, save your money for better food elsewhere.

Good ambient Atmosphere. Very german. Good value for Monet and excellent garden. Go for the more special. Oxe tongue with Aspargus. Yummie. Go for IT.

Some weeks ago I went to this place because of it's positive reviews. We went there for dinner and ordered traditional german dishes. The food was okay, but not brilliant. I ordered duck breast, which was unfortunately chewy. The prices were also too high considering the quality of the food. The worst thing in that place was the inappropriate music that was played. As said above it seems as a traditional german restaurant but the music that was played reminded me on a low-price teeny bar

Amazing authentic German food. Recommend the Roasted duck breast and a huge 1.5L beer.

The restaurant is a bit outside the tourist area, so we were quite surprised when we found it. It looks like a traditional german restaurant from the outside. We sat outside in the beer garden, which was very quiet and nice ! We chose the steaks, with herbed butter. Very large portion and super delicious, came with buttered fresh veggies and fries. I couldn't finish it all, but I wish I could have :) don't forget to order a regional beer, their served in a big clay mug. Prost!

The concierge at the hotel we stayed at recommended this restaurant when we asked about a good place to try out some regional foods. Good thing we got there early for dinner so we didn't have to wait too long for our food to come out like the other tables. The place started filling up really quickly. The waiters were nice and accommodating but didn't give very helpful suggestions on what dishes we should try. Tried both the Sauerbraten and Rinderrouladen and found them only alright. There was too little sauce in both dishes. The Knödels were really good though!

Overpriced food, you have to wait way too long for it, and it's only okay. The atmosphere is meh and the restaurant is overall nothing special. I wouldn't recommend to go there.

Huge portions of traditional German food. We had the sauerbraten and an excellent braised goose leg. A little noisy, but it is like that in most traditional German bars.
