"The food is exceptional. Especially the Crispy pork knuckle and pork rib. Overall food are awesome. Service is slow due to not enough staffs."
Eric Chan
"The food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the soup, but the pork knuckle was average. The skin was crispy, but the meat itself was a bit dry. The indoor dining room had great services and a nice decor."
Chin
"Service extraordinary bad.
We asked for bill for check out. Total 4 of staffs pretend busy and looking for new customer order instead of handing and assist your bill payment .
Finally, I waited for 25 minutes to settle my bill.
Terrible service experience in such popular restaurant in Stuttgart.
NOT recommend in this restaurant"

Where to Eat in Stuttgart: My Top Restaurant and Cafe Picks - Where's Jules?
This restaurant is in the perfect location – just right off the main square, across from the palace (Schlossplatz). The decor is very Swabian and the food is delicious!. It’s a local favourite so I’m pretty confident with this pick.

On a day when we wanted to indulge in meat, we tried Ochs’n Willi, and it was one of the best decisions we made. The meats were very delicious, and the service was excellent. The atmosphere of the place was also very nice.
