Als Durlanger "Neubürger" waren meine Frau und ich heute Abend zu Gast in der "Krone in Durlangen". Das Essen war hervorragend, keine lange Wartezeiten, alles frisch, einfach so wie es sein soll. Sehr freundliche Bedienung, schönes Ambiente, es gab nichts was störend oder negativ gewirkt hat. Wir kommen wieder, ist ja jetzt ein "Heimspiel" für uns. Viele Grüße Bernd und Martina

Sehr Lecker! Cordonbleu war sehr dünn und saftig. Spätzle und auch Pommes schmecken klasse. Bratensoße wie man es liebt, nicht zu salzig. Herrentoast ist sehr empfehlenswert. Schweinemedalion auf gebratenem Bauernbrot, klasse Kombi ! Hunde dürfen draußen auch mit dabei seinGerne wieder!

gutbürgerliche Gaststätte mit einer kleinen aber feinen Karte. Frau Waibel und ihr Team sind immer sehr freundlich und sie kann durch ihren Erfahrungsschatz fast jeden Wunsch erfüllen. Schwaben, Gerneesser, Vegetarier und Gäste mit Glutenunverträglichkeit sind dort bestens aufgehoben.
