    Typical German restaurant in the heart of Cologne. Touristy location and prices but the food is excellent. Fast service and helpful staff. They specialize in pork knuckle dishes. Generous portions. Toilets on site.

    (Translated by Google) The Haxenhaus is one of the typical Cologne breweries. The Kölsch is good, the food is rustic but usually well done. Knuckles are a specialty. First and foremost, the brewery is geared towards serving as many tourists as possible. But that applies to all breweries in Cologne's old town. Nevertheless, you can spend a few nice hours here and have fun. You can also see the Rhine. (Original) Das Haxenhaus ist eines der typischen Kölner Brauhäuser. Das Kölsch ist gut das Essen ist rustikal aber in der Regel gut gemacht. Spezialität sind Haxen. In erster Linie ist das Brauhaus darauf ausgerichtet möglichst viele Touristen zu bedienen. Das trifft aber für alle Brauhäuser in der Kölner Altstadt zu. Trotzdem kann man hier ein paar schöne Stunden verbringen und seinen Spaß haben. Zudem kann man auf den Rhein sehen.

    Lovely old building with wood fittings and outdoor seating overlooking the Rhine. Nice regional food at a good price. Enjoyed the Wiener schnitzel and they serve 1.5 metre bratwurst:)

    The place is historic. The wood panelling , high ceiling and the great Haxen is worth going to. The service is excellent . The beer sauce could have been thicker .

    (Translated by Google) Pleasant hospitality, considerate neighbors ...... who actually encourage loud visitors to the historic old town in front of the inn not to chatter so loudly in the narrow streets of the historic old town. Because the streets act like a megaphone 📣, every word gets louder and can be clearly heard 👂 except for the 5th floor in the bedroom, by children and elderly sick residents. Family business Always fresh cuisine, especially clean around the inn. No value is placed on impolite and heavily drunk guests. A particularly commendable attitude, indeed, of an innkeeper. All of you stay healthy and it is also wonderfully relaxing and quiet in our living room in our city 🌃. So we can get away from the hustle and bustle of the decades-long, permanent sprinkling by the party ships of the KD, which are also extremely annoying on the terrace and in the inn, from the visitors filled with cowards who are stunned at the kiosk just opposite to damage our home 🏡 with bad behavior. Cologne citizens, who did the whole renovation of our beautiful historic Cologne old town, with a lot of preparation planning huge sums of citizens' tax money. Incredibly many construction sites 🚧 impairment of everyday life through all associated large construction sites, Sankt Martin, Hotel 🏨 Maritim, Rheinufer Tunnel, and almost 5 years the giant hole Heumarkt the construction 🏗 of the underground car park, with parking spaces at a special price of 139.00 DM was offered. A promise that in the residential mixed area would actually respect the night's sleep, the unpleasant smell from chips 🍟 and all other kitchen appliances that get into the apartments everything came true tonight 🙃. We hope. All of us at home in Cologne 🏡 will be considered more considerate in the future by more people, most of whom read this 📖 who did not even know. Thank you 🙏 stay healthy (Original) Erfreuliche Bewirtung rücksichtsvolle Nachbarn ......, die vor dem Gasthaus laute Besucher dr historischen Altstadt, tatsächlich ermuntern, nicht derart laut in den engen Gassen der historischen Altstadt unnötig laut zu palavern . Denn die Gassen wirken wie ein Megafon 📣,jedes Wort wird lauter und ist deutlich zu 👂 bis auf die 5 Etage im Schlafzimmer , von Kindern und älteren kranken Anwohnern . Familien Betrieb Immer frische Küche , besonders sauber um das Gasthaus . Auf unhöfliche stark angetrunkene Gäste wird kein Wert gelegt . Tatsächlich eine besonders lobenswerte Haltung , eines Gastwirt . Bleiben Sie alle gesund und es ist auch wunderbar erholsam ruhig in unserem Wohnzimmer unserer Stadt 🌃 . So können wir uns einmal vom Trubel der Jahrzehnte langen ,Dauer Berieselung durch die Party 🎈Schiffe der KD , die auch extrem auf der Terrasse stören und im Gasthaus , von den mit Feigling abgefüllten Besuchern die sich am Kiosk genau gegenüber voll betäuben 😔😳😤um unserer zuhause 🏡 mit schlechtem Benehmen zu beschädigen .Kölner Bürger , die ja die ganze Sanierung unserer schönen historischen Kölner Altstadt , mit viel Vorbereitung Planung Unsummen von Bürger Steuergeldern . Unglaublich vielen Baustellen 🚧 Beeinträchtigungen des alltäglichen Alltagslebens über alle damit verbundenen Großbaustellen , Sankt Martin , Hotel 🏨 Maritim , Rheinufer Tunnel, und fast 5 Jahre das Riesenloch Heumarkt den Bau 🏗 der Tiefgarage , mit Stellplätzen zum Sonderpreis 😡😠😳von 139,00 DM dann angeboten wurde . Ein Versprechen , das im Wohnmischgebiet tatsächlich Rücksicht auf die Nachtruhe , die Geruchsbelästigung durch Pommes 🍟 und alle anderen Küchengeräte die in die Wohnungen gelangen tatsächlich vorbildlich geachtet würde 😞😳 heute Nacht hat sich alles zusammen bewahrheitet 🙃. Wir hoffe. Unsere aller Kölner zuhause 🏡 wird zukünftig pfleglichen Rücksichtsvoller von mehr Menschen von den meisten die das hier lesen 📖, gar nicht wussten berücksichtigt . Danke 🙏 bleiben Sie gesund

    (Translated by Google) Augustus knuckle is my favorite dish in this shop. Meat with meat and meat. Super nice staff. Worth several visits. Plus: A delicious meal was even conjured up in the Haxenhaus for my pregnant vegetarian wife. (Original) Augustus-Haxe ist mein Lieblingsgericht in diesem Laden. Fleisch mit Fleisch und Fleisch.

    (Translated by Google) The employees in the kitchen have to beg to get their salaries. The cook pushed me and kicked me out! Because I gave my opinion! I was of course a foreign student who is right, which is no go for the Cologne mentality .. (Original) Die Mitarbeiter in der Küche müssen betteln, um das Gehalt zu bekommen. Der Koch hat mich geschubst und rausgeschmissen! Weil ich meine Meinung geäußert habe! Ich war natürlich ein ausländische Student der Recht hat, was für Kölner Mentalität no Go ist..

    Good food and friendly staff. I also suggest this place to my own customers when they visit Köln. The only thing I didn’t appreciate was when the waitress found out some of the people in the group were Americans. She said, tips not included, kinda unprofessional and rude in my opinion.

    Tried this beer hall over the carnivale, it was ok. I had the sausage with sauerkraut and fried potato, sausage portion was the half meter but was small and dry, dish could have had some sauce to offset the dryness. We sat downstairs and the room is square and looks relatively modern, other than the big red pig on a wooden display other brauhuas look a bit more traditional aka olde worlde.. Specialists in pork knuckle, but one of the the lads didn't think it was as good as others had over the couple of days. The lamb knuckle/shank was apparently quite good.and served in a tureen. It overlooks the river and has a large outside seating area. Overall nice but prefer Peters or Sion, Fruh for a more traditional feeling. The 2 meter of beer is impressive looking 10 Kolsch for approximately the price of 9.

    Perfect!!! A typical Germany restaurant with a delicious Germany beer and the best pork's knee I've ever had, including potatoes, sausage, etc... Besides it's delicious, it's very big! So if you aren't starving, you can share with someone and still be satisfied. By the way, restaurant very well located and staff very kind. I definitely recommend! 👊😉

    We went there because of the good reviews. It’s is in a very touristic area and the restaurant itself it’s touristic. The quality was very low, even thought the pork knuckle had a very crunchy skin, it had a very bad smell and made it difficult to it. The breading of the schnitzel was bad and when you tried to cut it, all the breading was going off of it. I feel very disappointed for the money we had to give. Don’t forget to mention that the waitress almost forced us to give a tip.

    Essen war gut, könnte aber besser sein. Eher auf Massenküche ausgelegt. Wäre da nicht die Baustelle vor der Tür könnte das Ambiente auch punkten, aber gut dafür kann das Lokal nichts. Kleinere Speisen sind hier empfehlenswert. Alles andere ist sehr spitz bepreist.

    I wanted to try this place for quite long time as I have got good reviews from many people. This traditional German restaurant serves robust German food and beer. I ordered Augustus menu and it was delicious. Haxe was hot and crunchy where the sides were just warm I expected them to be more hot, nonetheless it was delicious. Beers as usual. The interior was nice and roomy and they have river side seating too. The service was quick enough and satisfactory.

  • 5/5 Cat H. 3 months ago on Google • 331 reviews New
    Our group visited on a Friday night. Only outdoor seatings were available and we took them. Ice old beer, crispy pork knuckles, tasty sausages and flavorful ribs. Everything's delicious. Our waitress was super friendly and efficient. Food arrived quickly even the place was packed. Cigarettes smell from tables around could be annoying though. Will recommend.

    Food here is nice and good quality however really large portions so I wouldn't recommend having a starter. I enjoyed this authentic German experience.

  • 5/5 Christian N. 2 months ago on Google • 161 reviews New
    As the name suggests, the menu is simple; pork knuckle (Haxe) and Bratwurst. I decided to go for the "Haxe Augustus" which comes with crispy pork knuckle, Bratwurst, Sauerkraut and potatoes. First of all, I was there on a Sunday for lunch and the place was quite busy. When I got the food I knew why; it was just delicious. Staff was super nice, prices were reasonable and the food was delicious and the portion sizes were huge. I definitely recommend this place when you want some authentic Schweinshaxe

  • 5/5 Sunshine P. 11 months ago on Google • 42 reviews
    We came for the authentic pork knuckles. the crispy skin (Skratchings) on the outside was exquisite. The meat was fall off the bone. Perfectly presented with pan fired potatoes and sauerkraut. The meal was everything and more for what we were expecting. We took the chance when it was highly recommended to us and we were glad we did. The service was very good. They accommodated our English pretty well and we were able to eat and drink for very reasonable with great views and very close to a square that had Marvelous views. Will come back.

    This place is just wonderful! Lovely wait staff, delicious food (you can take away what you can't finish) and such a sweet owner 😊. Very lively atmosphere without being overbearing. Excellent location in the center of Cologne, walking distance from the cathedral and right by the Rhine river. Dined alone but definitely didn't feel lonely. I highly recommend this place. The winter menu pumpkin soup was amazing, the pork knuckles and the snaps, all amazing good German food.

  • 5/5 G. M. 3 months ago on Google • 9 reviews New
    This is one of the places that has a great story behind. The owner Freddy was so kind to explain it to us. Once you enter the restaurant you need to pay attention to the floor. The floor tiles are taken from the old Cathedral and blessed by the priest. So literally you are dining in the holly place ;) Another thing is that it has the spirit called the Old Lady.. that in a way keeps the atmosphere alive :) But the best part of it is the owner who not only opens his doors to his guests but also his heart by greeting every guest and sharing the story of Hexenhaus. We definitely will be coming back for a wonderful and yummy food as well as for the ambience that place has to offer 🙌🏽🫶🏽

    Tasty pork knuckle! Can be a lot for one person. Came in a group of 4 people. After waiting a bit to be seated, we ordered drinks and our food. I had the Brunswick and my partner had the Helena. We both agreed the Brunswick was the better choice. Overall, good food, okay service. Definitely a place to check out and have a traditional German meal.

  • 5/5 Ian F. 4 years ago on Google
    Hexenhaus, I have been a few times in the last few months and I would say it's a must for traditional food. Whatever time of the day you go it's always has a great atmosphere, nice views across the river, amazing staff and mouthwatering food. I can say you will not be disappointed. A must in the old town of Cologne. Only 10min from the main station along the river. Note: Haxenhaus gets busy most of the time. If you can book. You will share tables with other dinners but this makes it for a much better traditional German meal.

  • 4/5 Enrico S. 4 years ago on Google
    Despite not having a reservation, they managed anyway to fix us a table during the busiest time of the evening. The atmosphere is of a typical German restaurant, loud but not messy, with waiters constantly running up and down serving litres of beers. We orderd the seasonal wild boar knuckle which, although flavorful, was way too dry for our taste. The half meter of beer would have been nicer served on the wooden flight but I guess they ran out of them. Definitely worth a visit if you are lucky enough to find a seat.

    With the four of us, we finally succeeded in getting a table although it was very hard to make reservations for the coming days. We ordered a big plate Schweinshaxe with Bratwurst and French fries and in fact it was too much for four people. So, just try it! I really recommend this restaurant to everybody.

    (Translated by Google) In asparagus time, we wanted to eat a portion of white asparagus. By chance we walked past this restaurant and saw the dish. We were not disappointed, it tasted great! Large portion with a delicious sauce. The restaurant is quite large and spacious. There is also a large outside terrace. Due to its location along the Rein it can be very busy on the terrace when the weather is nice. The staff is friendly. During dinner there was a TV on which football was shown, so I did not miss anything of the game ;-) (Original) In de asperge tijd wilden we graag een portie witte asperges eten. Per toeval liepen wij langs dit restaurant en zagen het gerecht. We waren niet teleurgesteld, het smaakte goed! Flinke portie met een heerlijk sausje. Het restaurant is behoorlijk groot en ruim ingericht. Ook is er een groot buiten terras. Door de ligging langs de Rein kan het erg druk zijn op het terras als het mooi weer is. Het personeel is vriendelijk. Tijdens het eten stond er een tv aan waarop voetbal werd getoond, hierdoor hoefde ik niks te missen van de wedstrijd ;-)

    (Translated by Google) Today was the first time in the Haxenhaus. We ordered the knuckle "Salzgasse" (pork knuckle) and the knuckle "Frankenwerft" (lamb knuckle). The knuckles were delicious, as were the fried potatoes on the lamb shank. However, the vegetable side dish with the lamb shank (consisting of carrots, zucchini and sugar snap peas) was cut into unequal and relatively large pieces, so that the thinner pieces were firm to the bite, but the thick ones were almost raw and very "crisp". Hence a star deduction. (Original) Waren heute das erstemal im Haxenhaus. Wir bestellten die Haxe "Salzgasse" (Schweinshaxe) und die Haxe "Frankenwerft" (Lammhaxe). Die Haxen waren superlecker, ebenso die Bratkartoffeln bei der Lammhaxe. Allerdings war die Gemüsebeilage bei der Lammhaxe (bestehend aus Möhren, Zucchini und Zuckerschoten) in ungleiche und relativ große Stücke geschnitten, so dass die dünneren Stücke bissfest, die dicken jedoch fast roh und sehr "knackig" waren. Daher ein Stern Abzug.

    I ate here a while back when I was in Cologne. Great decor. And the pork knuckle was very good. Overall it's worth going. Servers were a bit rude. I stood at the door looking around where to sit. The guy at the door condescendingly told me to go sit and stop blocking the door way. So I found a seat. Ironically, a few minutes later a waitress came up to me and told me to move to another table. After that the waitress kept rushing me to order. Not a fan of the staff, but again the atmosphere and the food was good. Its worth checking out.

    Excellent pork knuckle. Succulent/tender yet crispy and full of flavour on the outside. Various versions available, I had the traditional, swapping the sauerkraut for cabbage and was not disappointed! Local beer on tap wasn’t to bad either ;)

    (Translated by Google) Ate there for the first time today and I have to say it tasted very good. I didn't know the selection of the different knuckles so far, but I wonder why something like this is not also offered in Duesseldorf. I had the Herzog knuckle myself and it was really excellent with the caramelized apples and the sauce. The other Haxen guys would have appealed to me too, but you can't have everything. The service was very friendly. Anyway, I'll be back! (Original) Heute zum erstenmal dort gegessen und ich muss sagen es hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Auswahl der verschiedenen Haxen kannte ich bisher so nicht aber frage mich warum so etwas nicht auch in Duesseldorf angeboten wird. Ich selber hatte die Herzog Haxe und die war wirklich hervorragend mit den karamelisierten Äpfeln und der Sauce. Auch die anderen Haxen Typen haetten mich gereizt aber man kann halt nicht alles haben. Die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Auf jedenfall komme ich wieder !

    (Translated by Google) Service staff could not provide any information on allergens. The card to view allergens announced in the menu does not exist. When asked, I was told that I would rather not be served, as it was too sensitive for the service staff. Tables not cleaned and still sticky with glass rims from the guest. The menu didn't make a particularly neat impression either. In times of Corona I would have expected more hygiene here. We left the restaurant without anything to eat or drink. (Original) Servicepersonal konnte keine Angaben zu Allergenen geben. Die in der Speisekarte angekündigte Karte zum Einsehen der Allergene existiert nicht. Auf Nachfrage erhielt ich die Aussage lieber nicht bedient werden zu wollen, da es dem Servicepersonal zu heikel war. Tische nicht geputzt und noch klebrig mit Glasrändern vom Vorgast. Speisekarte hat ebenfalls keinen besonders gepflegten Eindruck gemacht. In Zeiten von Corona hätte ich hier mehr Hygiene erwartet. Wir haben das Lokal verlassen ohne etwas zu Essen bzw zu Trinken.

    (Translated by Google) The table decorations on the tables and throughout the restaurant are sensible and stylish. The bathroom is always clean and all in all the restaurant gives a charming impression. The waiters are always very sociable and very courteous. That makes me absolutely happy with every visit. We didn't have to wait long for the food and our drinks. That was fine because we were really hungry that evening, and my husband and I also think the prices are perfectly okay.

    (Translated by Google) The name says it all! Anyone who thinks that knuckles can only be prepared in one way is wrong. In Haxenhaus you can order numerous variations, all of which are very tasty. People who don't like knuckles don't have to go hungry here, there are alternatives on the menu (although not as many). It is definitely delicious and genutkuch here. The service was nice and considerate. But it is not cheap, which is probably due to the good location. (Original) Hier ist der Name Programm! Wer glaubt, dass Haxen nur auf eine Art zubereitet werden können, der irrt. In Haxenhaus kann man zahlreiche Variationen bestellen, die alle sehr schmackhaft sind. Leute, die keine Haxen mögen müssen hier aber nicht hungern, es gibt Alternativen auf der Karte (wenn auch nicht so viele). Lecker und genutkuch ist es hier auf jeden Fall. Die Bedienung war nett und umsichtig. Billig ist es aber nicht, was wohl auch der guten Lage zu verdanken ist.

    A must visit if you come to Cologne as a tourist. It is very cozy and nice to just warm up after shopping in the center. A good and fast service. We took the 1 meter long sausage! 😂The sauerkraut and potatoes were delicious! The sausage was rather on the drier side, too bad! The portion to share with two is certainly big enough! I recommend it to pass by, not only to eat there but even to drink a beer is also very nice and worthwhile!🍻

    my mate and i went to this restaurant for some local cuisine. Our experiance was great and the food tasted amazing. Do visit here when you're in the area. Ambiance inside is nice and authentic, and looks like you stepped right into -what feels like- the 1800's. Staff was fast, friendly and spoke english when my german wasn't adequate enough. Food & beer were served fast and tasted Very very vveeeerryyyy good. The meat was realy tender. I recomend the Drei königen for anyone who either can't choose, or likes to try different kind of meat. are you more the schnitzel type? their Wiener schnitzel tastes great as well.

  • 3/5 Jorge C. 2 years ago on Google
    The schnitzel had way too much bread and not too much meat. Prepare to wait very long for the food (we waited about 45 minutes). Tasty though!

  • 4/5 Farhad N. 2 years ago on Google
    One big point is to the responsive, fast and friendly staff even when it is really crowded. For the starter I tried their salad with blood susage which I didn't like but it can be because of my taste there was nothing specific wrong with the dish. For the main course I went with the "Buttermarkt" dish. I have already tried something similar in Schwarzwald. I liked it and I recommend it. I finished my dish 😋 The desert gets exciting, I could not decide between the " Choco Douce" and the "Apfelstrudel" so I got both. I liked Apfelstrudel more specially the sauce. Give it a try and you will enjoy being there. It's just at one point they accidentally because of rain got a live Mexican guitar performance and unfortunately they asked the performer out.

    Essen war leider gaar nicht gut. Hatten das Wiener Schnitzel mit Bratkartoffeln. Nunja die Bratkartoffeln waren kalt sehr sehr ölig, lätschig und matschig. Kam mir vor wie die 0,99cent Bratkartoffeln ausm Discounter. Für den Preis kann man mehr erwarten. Einmal und nie wieder. Augen essen bekanntlich mit, fand es auch etwas lieblos angerichtet.

    Very traditional restaurant, the environment is great and the waitresses wear traditional dresses. My husband and I had a sharing plate of Augustus Haxe (special of the house) which is basically grilled pork knuckles with Sauerkraut, pan fried potatoes, a Bavarian liver loaf and bratwurst. It was delicious and portions are very big.

    It was one of the best things I have ever eaten before. I had a sharing plate for me and my friends and it was delicious. Good German pork knuckles with Sauerkraut and pan fried potatoes. The sausage was also very good. The portions are very big but we couldn’t stop eating. The waitresses wearing some beautiful traditional dresses and are very nice. So all in all it is the best place you could go to for some traditional German food. Definitely coming back!!

    I am a regular here. The service, ambience, and food quality are exceptional and take the quintessential German experience to the next level. Authentic is an understatement. I have tried every Haxe, side dish, and always complete my meal with a desert and half meter of Kölsch. The freshness, textures, layers, temperature, and overall quality are incomparable when you’re looking for the traditional German food experience. The meat is so tender and moist it is literally falling off the bone, yet the skin is so crispy and flavorful that it can even be purchased as a side item at the bar on occasion. The coziness, decor, and history of the building is another factor in and of itself. The building was built in the 1100s and is even older than all of the Cologne cathedrals, much less most buildings in the northern hemisphere. The history is palpable and adds to the overall experience. The reason this restaurant does not have a 5-star rating is a mystery to me. Long live Haxenhaus!
