Reviews Summary
Hanswurst is celebrated for its delicious and authentic German sausages, generous portions, and prime location near the Aachen Cathedral.

"The staff were so friendly. They were so welcoming in answering our questions. Food was soooo good that we went back the next day, even when we just stayed in Aachen for 24 hrs.."

"It's a fast food place with typical sausages from Germany. The idea is cool and the result is good also.
The place, when the weather is not nice to use the terrace is not especially big and you will need to wait for a table to get free.
The staff sometimes don't speak perfect English but enough to help you with any doubts you can have about the food.
So, in short, a good option for a tourist stop, rest and recharge batteries."

"We really enjoyed our visit! The sausages were delicious especially the blood sausages, which were full of flavor and perfectly cooked.
Portions were generous and satisfying.
The place has a great vibe, with a laid-back.
Self-service setup that works well.
Even the toilet was clean and thoughtfully maintained….always a nice surprise.
All in all, a great spot. We’d love to come back!"

Top 17 Gluten-Free Spots with Outdoor Seating to Enjoy in Aachen
We enjoyed the food and appreciate the allergen list and accommodations for gluten-free diners like me. The cashier/order-taker seemed new and my order came out with the crunch onions that are not gf, but when we brought it to the counter, they were apologetic and re-made the food for me and it tasted great and was safe. I had the Red sausage with purple cabbage and mash without the gravy or crunchy onions topping.
