Visited Kramer’s as part of a large group. We had pre-ordered to make things smoother - but food was still all cooked to order (not pre-made). Food was fresh & tasty & drinks well priced. Service is friendly & efficient. The outside bar area is a cool spot to chill with an icy cold Red Rooster.
Verdict: one of the better places to eat in Palau.

Great place for relaxed, waterfront dining. Casual restaurant with inventive take on fresh seafood. The daily fish specials are flavorful and everything is homemade. Fantastic fish tacos, burgers, even schnitzel, Friendly, fast service in a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere that is a locals favorite and one of ours.

Great food and drinks. Staff was very accommodating for our large group (they knew ahead of time and what each person had ordered). Fish and chicken entrees were delicious and appetizers as well.
Drinks were spot on. Great mojitos.
Casual atmosphere and relaxed.

We chose this restaurant because it was close to the Royal Palau and felt like walking to dinner. As many people do, we looked up the restaurant on Trip Advisor. There was a mixed bag of reviews from very good to nothing out of the ordinary. Even with the so-so reviews, we pressed on. Huge mistake. Where to start. Prices? Absolutely ludicrous but let’s say “that’s Palau”. But no,, really. For what you get it’s absolutely over priced considering portions and the venue. Ordered the schnitzel, with garlic fries. Got three little pieces of meat, with what appeared to be left over fries. Could not distinguish and garlic in the fries at all. Wife ordered a piece of fish, which was ridiculously over priced at $25.00 (locally caught) and what looked to be like 1/3rd a filet. Came with rice that looked like it was the last thing in yesterday’s pot. In all fairness she asked and they replaced the rice with basil mashed potatoes which were good. Lastly, we ordered the appetizer poke bowl for my daughter (if you get it as an appetizer it’s $15.00. If you order as a main, it’s $25.00. Lastly the glass of Chardonnay for $10.00 was the “coup d’ etat”. I wish we would have gone with our gut. All in, about $90.00 with tip. Bottom line, the venue, the food and the taste are absolutely it worth your time coming here. Sadly, it’s a no for me.

During our stay in Palau we had dinner 3 times at Kraemers. Every time it was great. Good food, nice atmosphere - and the best was the hospitality of Rene and his wife. Just lovely people who are very customer focussed delivering a great dinner experience. We especially enjoyed burgers and Poke. When back in Palau, Kraemers will be our first choice! Thank you

My family used it. It's a two-story house by the port, and its table seats outside with ocean views are popular.
It was a busy season, so I came to see them at 6 p.m., but they were already about half full.
All the staff are friendly, especially the manager? The man who seemed to be talking to me was friendly.
The main dish was about 50/50 meat and seafood, but the fish dishes were particularly good.
It took a long time to come out of the order, more than 20 minutes, probably because it was cooked well.
I think it's a good idea to spend some time talking and drinking until the food comes out.

A must try place for food. All freshly cooked & prepared by the owner - growing most of the herbs & veg.
The atmosphere is great, the food a mixture of Tex Mex, Philippines & American. The Burrito - fried was yummy & the Apple spring rolls a must eat. Some dishes are bland by my standards but I love spice & herbs, nothing some salt & chilli flakes couldn’t fix.
Caters to GF & other allergies.
Great personable & helpful staff.

Given the 4.5 reviews, expected better. Expensive, small servings. I has the most expensive dish, fish skewers. Two small skewers hanging in open air (and cooling rapidly). Small portion of vegetables. Rice was bland. She had veiner schnitzel, which was OK. I’d call mine a 2, her’s a 3.5, so, overall a low 3.

I was in Koror on a dive trip and was in the live aboard for a week but before and after I was free to roam. We did roam and with recommendations from the locals ended up going to Krämer a couple times. I loved the location in a harbour with plenty of space to park the car (if you have one), food selection was diverse and my selection was delightful. I went back a few days later and good and atmosphere was very enjoyable. Highly recommend Krämer!

Kramer’s is hands-down the best place to have dinner and drinks in Palau. The Menu has some gems like the Tuna Melt or Poke Bowl, but the Daily Specials is what keeps me coming back! The restaurant has their own supply of organic veggies and fruits, and you can taste the quality!
The vibe at Kramer’s is the best part of this place! Great mix of locals and tourists, and the staff & owners make this place a fun and inviting place to visit.
This place lures some of the most interesting people I’ve met while traveling. Can’t wait to go back!

Open at 5pm for dinner and drinks. Located on a wharf after walking for several minutes off the main road in town. Initially fives the impression one is lost and not in the right location, but there you will find it on the second floor of a building.
Variety of food can be found along with drinks at a reasonable price with a great view of the rock islands.

We ended up going to Kramer's 3 times during our 1-week stay in Palau. We stayed at The Cove, hence walking distance. Kramer's had very good sashimi, and one of the best fish tacos we've ever eaten. Their service was fast and the pricing reasonable considering the costs on Palau. The only downside (for non-smokers at least) being you cannot really hide from people smoking all over their terrace.

Kramer’s is a hidden Jem of Palau if u like good food and good ppl then Kramer’s is the spot for u. The chicken sandwich with the local hot sauce and blue cheese is highly recommended. Ask for Rene... he’s the man! Enjoy

Solid and tasty food choices - fish tacos, poke, local fish, and hamburgers. The food was prepared with care, and seasoned nicely. Kramers is popular with tourists for a good reason. Friendly staff. Decent view of the harbor. Lots of local color on the way, too....you walk past the oil tanks and the brothels to get there. We ended up eating there three times in a week. Gave th brothels a miss, though.

We went there for dinner with friends during our vacation and just really enjoyed this restaurant . It is simple but the food is delicious . We tried a variety of dishes and everything was tasty. The waitress was always pleasant and it was fun to interact with her.
We would recommend this place . It won’t disappoint
