As Croat I can confirm that the food tastes like home and thanks to the owner for that. Its extremely clean place. Lot of natural light inside the place. Service is great.

You will remember eating here. It has great ambience, not very sophisticated, but memorable in a nice way. Try the spare ribs and you'll be a happy traveller for days..

For the start of the Oktoberfest in München the restaurant offered also some typical dishes beside the normal menu. I eat the Schweinehaxe in BiersoÃe. It was no problem to change the Knödel (I don't like those balls that much) in Bratkartoffelen. It was delicious after some disappointing experiences in other restaurants during my stay in GieÃen. For me the best placce to go. Friendly staff.
7. Who Killed The Pig

Reviewed By Seppelpeter
Wir waren jetzt mittlerweile an mehreren Abenden im Pig, weil wir dem Laden mehr als eine Chance geben wollten. Das beste vorab: Es ist echt schick da drin.Nur leider ist dort eine sehr seltsame Stimmung, die man nur schwer beschreiben kann. Wir haben uns dort nicht wohl gefühlt. Teilweise ist das Personal langsam, unaufmerksam und nicht besonders kompetent. Auch wird man manchmal etwas herablassend behandelt. Vor allem wenn man versucht dort eine Veranstaltung zu organisieren ist das Verhalten an Arroganz kaum zu übertreffen. Hier kann man es sich anscheinend leisten für alles extra Geld zu verlangen. Also Gast fühlt man sich nicht wirklich willkommen.

The atmosphere inside is old school German brewery style and very popular. I donât go for the food but it is average grade German food. The beer however is fantastic and ever changing. You can also purchase to take home.The service is either very good or very slow, depending on the night. On the bad nights you wonder why your glass is empty and no one replenishes it. One for an owner to consider.Will always return unless the service considerably declines.

I have eaten here twice but more recently we had our wedding lunch here due to the prior experiences (especially my wife being from Giessen) but also it has a sophisticated atmosphere underneath in the cellars of a beautiful university building. The outdoor garden is also a quiet lovely place to eat in the warmer season overlooking the botanical gardens (oldest botanical garden in Germany).The menu is special as is the wine menu with many local ingredients and in season food items. The staff are always professional and for example when we sat with the head chef, he was very responsive with our dinner selection for our occasion and made good recommendations as our family & friends really enjoyed the long lunch.I recommend booking, lunches are very busy but it must be very nice here in the evening to eat among candles within the old alcoves of the cellar.Enjoy the experience. We will return many times.

A Restaurant with a terrace on the River Lahn, rowers passing by. Nice view. The food was good, speciality of the house are sweet an savoury pancakes, served in the frying pan. Tasty. Not too expensive. Sehr geehrter Herr Staden,danke für Ihre gute Bewertung, bitte kommen Sie bald wieder.Mit freundlichen GrüÃenHartmund Schütt

We had a very enjoyable experience at Primecut this past summer while we were visiting friends in Germany. The staff were very accommodating as our German is not very good and the food came out timely and delicious! We would come back here again next time we are in town!

We took our Giessen, Germany hosts to this restaurant that we had read good reviews about as our thank you to them. They had not been there as yet. It was a fabulous dinner, exquisite flavors and tastes, beautifully served. Each of us were delighted with our meals. The service was impeccable but not intrusive, albeit a little on the slow side (which has been true more often than not in our whole European experience this time). It was expensive but appropriate for our purposes.
