Frommer's Review

References to this old-fashioned eating house are about as old as the Prater itself. Awash with beer and central European kitsch, it sprawls across a biergarten landscape that might remind you of the Habsburg Empire at its most indulgent. Indulgence is indeed the word -- the vastly proportioned main dishes could feed an entire 19th-century army. The menu stresses old-fashioned schnitzels and its house specialty, roasted pork hocks (Hintere Schweinsstelze) served with dollops of mustard and horseradish. Wash it all down with mugs of Czech Budweiser. A half-liter of beer costs 3.30€ ($4.30); main courses range from 3€ to 11€ ($3.90-$14). It's open from March 15 to October 31 daily 11am-11pm.
