Stop there for lunch every time we are in the Black Forest…read more The service is polite and professional. The beer is just great local German Beer and the food has always exceeded our expectations for such a small, apparently local establishment/ A great place for vegetarians, the salads are great, something for everybody.

I didn't like the place at all even though the service was friendly enough. However the veggie soup…read morewe had included pieces of meat. I changed it for a tomato soup instead and got the boss' killing glance. Ouch! My friend didn't like the veggie soup either as the veg was totally soft and had no taste at all. Apart from the grumpy boss, the bad food and the slow (but friendly) service the location with seats outside was nice also very central. But that really was the only positive thing about it. We were happy to leave thinking about doing a runner. ;)

I stayed here two nights in July 17-18, 2023. It could not have been better... well parking was…read moredicey but I knew that ahead of time, and it was free street parking. The room was clean and comfortable, and the price was perfect. I had dinner two nights there in the beergarden. It was quite feast too. I had schnitzel, and salads and wine and beer. I was traveling alone, and managed to sit with another person by himself. I don't speak German and he didn't speak much English but it was fine. Service was really good. I'd love to find reason to go back. I'd say it was classy and a perfect welcome to Germany on your own experience.

Excellent food and friendly staff. My family and I stopped on our drive from Günsberg to Frankfurt…read more We speak little German but the staff was friendly and accommodating, and we were able to get by with using the menu number system and what little we do know. They take cash only though, so make sure to have Euro on hand.

I've been here a handful of times while visiting a friend's hometown of Offenburg in 2012 and 2013…read more The location is really open and relaxed and often has live DJs and/or dance parties. You'll find everyone from young 20-somethings to families enjoying a night by the lake. It's like a beach-themed take on a biergarten. There's plenty of beer and wine to be had, and a nice warm flammkuchen with onions and bacon will hit the spot!

It's McDonald's. You know what you're getting…read more 4 stars might seem high for a McDonald's. If you lump it in with everything else, it makes no sense. But I'm basing this on a McDonald's level, fast-food chain, scale. This particular McDonald's in Offenberg, Germany was nice. I've found that many of the McDonald's locations abroad are all a bit different but they seem to put in some extra effort. For example - The first thing that I noticed when I pulled in was a McDonald's Playland. Something you don't see much in the US anymore but we all remember from when we were kids. Being an English speaking American, I was pleased to find that they had the kiosk displays to place your order that you could customize the language to suit your needs. This made the ordering process easy. Remember though - they call out your receipt number in German so you have to pay attention or do a little Google Translate action so you're on alert. Inside this McDonald's they also had a McCafe with bakery items and coffee to order. I did order a slice of the Chocolate Cake to take home with me and it was actually quite good. Dense and rich, but good. When I travel abroad, I always try to hit up a McDonald's. It's one of the very few businesses that you can visit at just about any country in the world. I call it, "The American Embassy". I began doing this just to compare the little differences in tastes. I obviously notice that many foreign locations offer items that you wouldn't see in the US which is always interesting to me. Because this is a "thing" that I do when I travel abroad, I always try to get the same thing. A Quarter Pounder with Cheese type of burger, Fries and a Coke. I also make sure to get ketchup too as this sometimes tastes different. The burger was a little dry as it seemed quite lean. Not sure if that is how it was supposed to taste or if that's just how it was that day. It was also topped with lettuce and tomato. It was good, as McDonald's burgers go, but not the best that I've had. The fries were notably better than what I would typically get in the US. Hot, crispy and they had good flavor. Aside from salt, US McDonald's fries are typically void of any flavor. The ketchup was not noticeably different. You'd be surprised, but some EU McDonald's ketchup does taste different. This difference is what sparked my quest to try McDonald's in different nations. The Coke was uneventful. Would I go back? I would, if I were local and went to McDonald's occasionally. Because I rarely go to McDonald's and I'm not local, I probably won't. But, if you're looking for a quick bite while you're in the area, give it a try.
