XXL Restaurant Leopoldauer Alm
Casual
The Experience
Forget the dainty portions of the inner city. Head to Floridsdorf for a serious reality check at XXL Restaurant Leopoldauer Alm. Since 1996, the Pircher family has been serving plates that look like they belong in a cartoon. It's an Alpine-style lodge with heavy wood, a loud beer garden, and a fountain in the back. The goal here isn't a light bite. It's about massive, high-quality meat at a fair price. You'll see burgers the size of dinner plates and spare ribs measured by the meter. It's a loud, communal, and slightly ridiculous experience. But it works. The staff actually care, the beer is cold, and even your dog gets its own water bar. Whether you're facing down the 'Pitchfork of Terror' or just grabbing a pint, you'll leave full. Extremely full.
Signature Dishes
Mistgabel des Schreckens
Translating to the 'Pitchfork of Terror,' this colossal sharing platter for up to five people comes loaded with pork and chicken schnitzels, grilled chops, spare ribs, and sausages, all accompanied by a mountain of fries, wedges, and diverse sauces.
Wiener Schnitzel XXL
A breathtakingly large iteration of the Austrian classic, this breaded pork cutlet spans an enormous plate and is pan-fried to a perfect golden crisp, served with a side of traditional homemade potato salad.
Alm-Joschi Burger
A towering, indulgent burger featuring a massive patty of 100% Austrian beef, layered with crispy bacon, melted cheese, fresh greens, and smoky BBQ sauce, nestled in a toasted bun.
All-You-Can-Eat Spare Ribs
Slow-cooked to tender perfection and glazed with a rich, savory marinade, these ribs are served in limitless quantities during special event nights, accompanied by crispy side dishes and homemade dips.
The Menu Highlights
The XXL Restaurant Leopoldauer Alm menu reads like a dare. If you're with a crew, order the 'Mistgabel des Schreckens.' They bring it to the table on an actual pitchfork. It's a meat-heavy pile of pork and chicken schnitzels, ribs, and grilled chops that easily feeds five. For the solo diner with a death wish, the XXL Wiener Schnitzel covers the entire plate and then some. It's pounded thin and fried to a proper golden crunch. Don't overlook the Alm-Joschi burger. It uses 100% Austrian beef and thick-cut bacon. And if you're there on a special event night, the all-you-can-eat spare ribs are a local legend. Everything is cooked to order, not sat under a heat lamp. Even the 'Hob di Liab' chocolate cake is built for sharing.
The Vibe & Crowd
It's loud, rustic, and totally unpretentious. Expect the sound of clinking steins and families laughing at the size of their food. The interior feels like a mountain hut, all heavy timber and cozy corners. You won't find any food critics here. Instead, you'll see birthday parties, local workers, and sports fans glued to the SKY Sportsbar screens. In summer, everyone moves to the covered beer garden or the quiet fountain garden. It's a local favorite for a reason. There's no dress code and no judgment. Just grab a seat and prepare for the spectacle. The Pircher family runs a tight ship, so service is fast despite the chaos.
