    (Translated by Google) The vegetarian selection on the menu was relatively good, at least compared to two years ago. However, the two things I chose from the map were not there. When asked whether two other things could not be combined, did the waitress / hostess react? With "That doesn't taste good!". In any case, they let themselves be persuaded to combine the two dishes. (Original) Vegetarische Auswahl auf der Karte war verhältnismäßig gut, jedenfalls im Vergleich von vor zwei Jahren. Jedoch waren die zwei Sachen, die ich mir aus der Karte ausgesucht hatte, nicht vorhanden. Auf die Frage, ob man nicht zwei andere Sachen kombinieren könne, reagierte die Kellnerin/Wirtin? Mit "Das schmeckt doch nicht!". Jedenfalls hat man sich doch dazu bringen lassen, die beiden Gerichte zu kombinieren.

    (Translated by Google) The quality of the steak was really good and also nice medium fried. What is very regrettable is that with such a nice piece of meat, frozen “fried potatoes” are then served. These were not nearly adequate and thus clouded the overall picture of the food very much. The service was nice and tried hard, but the kitchen seems to be overwhelmed even when the restaurant is half full. We waited more than an hour for the food - this is unacceptable for us. In addition, even with just two dishes, the kitchen does not manage to give them out at the same time. An apology or justification would have been desirable - many restaurants offer a drink to the house with such long waiting times - unfortunately there was no response here. We received our food with a delay of about 10 minutes and had to eat separately. All in all, I cannot recommend the Fohlenhof - in Darmstadt there are significantly better restaurants in the same price range. (Original) Das Steak war von der Qualität wirklich gut und auch schön medium gebraten. Was sehr zu bedauern ist, ist dass zu so einem schönen Stück Fleisch dann fertig Tiefkühl-“Bratkartoffeln” gereicht werden. Diese waren nicht ansatzweise angemessen und haben somit das Gesamtbild des Essens sehr getrübt. Der Service war zwar nett und bemüht, die Küche scheint jedoch selbst bei halb vollen Restaurant maßlos überfordert zu sein. Wir haben mehr als eine Stunde auf das Essen gewartet - dies ist für uns inakzeptabel. Zudem schafft es die Küche nicht, selbst bei nur zwei Gerichten, diese gleichzeitig raus zu geben. Eine Entschuldigung oder Begründung wäre wünschenswert gewesen - viele Restaurants bieten bei so langen Wartezeiten auch ein Getränk aufs Haus an - hier kam leider keine Reaktion. Wir erhielten unser Essen mit circa 10 Minuten Versatz und haben somit getrennt essen müssen. Alles in allem kann ich den Fohlenhof leider nicht weiterempfehlen - in Darmstadt gibt es deutlich bessere Restaurants in der selben Preisklasse.

    (Translated by Google) We were last on the second Advent in the Fohlenhof eat. In advance we had ordered goose leg six times when making the reservation. When the order was placed, the disillusionment that there were only three clubs left, others would only be ready in two hours. The substitute cook had sold almost all of the day before and the head cook would not have known that goose legs were pre-ordered. Why do you order in advance? The real disappointment then followed with the food: in contrast to the previous year, the goose legs were only moderately crispy, the red cabbage was overcooked and the dumplings were anything but tasty. They didn't taste cooked through somehow or like dumplings like potato mashed potatoes from the canteen. The schnitzel was too thick, the fried potatoes mushy, and the salad that was served in advance was pretty tasteless. The bright green herb snippets unfortunately also speak for a bag product. Unfortunately, the Fohlenhof has noticeably lost quality in recent months. You can no longer rely on consistent quality. Sometimes ready-made yogurt dressing is poured over the salad, other times the pepper cream sauce only tastes like cream sauce or is so spicy and paprika floats in it that you don't want to eat it. Every time different, but mostly not good and that accompanied by a significant price increase. Conclusion: The food usually doesn't taste really good and the price-performance ratio is not right. In the future, we will go somewhere else for consistent quality. (Original) Wir waren zuletzt am zweiten Advent im Fohlenhof essen. Im Vorfeld hatten wir sechsmal Gänsekeule bei der Reservierung bestellt. Bei der Bestellung dann die Ernüchterung, es seien nur noch drei Keulen da, weitere währen erst in zwei Stunden fertig. Der Vertretungskoch hätte am Vortag fast alle verkauft und der Hauptkoch hätte nicht gewusst, dass Gänsekeulen vorbestellt seien. Wozu bestellt man extra vor? Die eigentliche Enttäuschung folgte dann mit dem Essen: Die Gänsekeulen waren im Gegensatz zum Vorjahr nur mäßig knusprig, das Rotkraut verkocht und die Klöße waren alles andere als schmackhaft. Schmeckten irgendwie nicht durchgegart bzw. wie Tütenkartoffelpüree aus der Kantine in Kloßform. Auch die Schnitzel waren viel zu dick, die Bratkartoffeln matschig und der Salat, der vorab serviert wurde, war ziemlich geschmacksneutral. Die Leuchtend grünen Kräuterschnipsel sprechen leider auch für ein Tütenprodukt. Leider hat der Fohlenhof in den letzten Monaten merklich an Qualität eingebüßt. Man kann sich nicht mehr auf gleichbleibende Qualität verlassen. Mal wird Fertig-Joghurtdressing über den Salat gekippt, ein anderes Mal schmeckt die Pfefferrahmsoße nur nach Rahmsoße oder ist derart würzig und es schwimmt Paprika darin, dass man sie nicht essen möchte. Jedes mal anders, aber meistens nicht gut und das einhergehend mit einer deutlichen Preiserhöhung. Fazit: Das Essen schmeckt meistens nicht wirklich gut und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt nicht. Für gleichbleibende Qualität gehen wir künftig wo anders hin.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately not what it used to be. The schnitzel was average. Guest room and especially ladies room not clean. I got the impression the owner is quite listless. (Original) Leider nicht mehr das, was es mal war. Das Schnitzel war durchschnittlich. Gastraum und vor allem Damentoilette nicht sauber. Ich hatte den Eindruck der Inhaber ist ziemlich lustlos.

    Location and atmosphere is nice, but...unfriendly service personel, our drinks were warm and flat and served in a warm glass fresh out of the dishwasher, and we waited over an hour for our food even though the place wasn't crowded. Sorry, but i won't be going back 😞

    (Translated by Google) been in the foal yard yesterday. everything a bit hectic, loud and full. drinks came quickly, food lasted. salads were not particularly great. schnitzel fleshy thick and breading not crispy. french fries cold and wobbly. sauces tasted like bag. The innkeeper (as you could find out later) had himself and his buddies served instead of packing up. everything was clear when walking. because of >> "Regional" the new "Bio" << + >> It is obvious that the daily fresh preparation of dishes and the absence of any convenience products takes time. << (is on the menu and read on the hp) in the recycling bin everything that delights the glutamate and additive heart. the bin was open on the street for collection. some of the wind was wrong. whole from the tetrapak, big names in large catering packs and cheapest basic ingredients. we will not come back honest cuisine is different! (Original) gestern im fohlenhof gewesen. alles etwas hektisch, laut und voll. getränke kamen schnell, essen dauerte. salate war nicht besonders toll. schnitzel fleischig dick und panade nicht knusprig. pommes kalt und wabbelig. soßen haben ziemlich nach tüte geschmeckt. wirt (wie man später erfahren konnte) hat sich und seine kumpels bedienen lassen statt mitanzupacken. beim gehn war dann alles klar. von wegen >>“Regional“ das neue „Bio“<< + >> Dass das täglich frische Zubereiten von Speisen und der Verzicht auf jegliche Convenience-Produkte Zeit in Anspruch nimmt, liegt auf der Hand.<< (is in der karte und auf der hp zu lesen) in der wertstofftonne alles was das glutamat- und zusatzstoffherz erfreut. die tonne stand offen an der straße zur abholung. einiges lag vom wind daneben. vollei aus dem tetrapak, große namen in gastronomiegroßpackungen und billigste grundzutaten. wir kommen nicht wieder. ehrliche küche geht anders!

    (Translated by Google) Food was good, staff goes like this, when we were there it was super loud. When we made the reservation, we could have been told that the hall was 90% filled with a club that closed the year there, with speeches / honors etc. So in total we will not go there anymore (it is the staff, the food can do it also do not tear out) (Original) Essen war gut, Personal geht so, als wir dort waren war es super laut dort. Man hätte uns beim reservieren sagen können das der Saal zu 90% mit einem Verein gefüllt ist, der dort ein Jahresabschluss macht, mit Ansprachen/Ehrungen usw. Also in Summe werden wir dort nicht mehr hingehen (es liegt am Personal, das Essen kann das auch nicht rausreißen)

  • 5/5 JenJen L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There are a large selection of dishes, the portions are very large, so you can not complain about the amount normally and this is the price in any case justified, so you do not pay a cent too much. In addition, the staff is above average friendly considering what you get today in most restaurants. Generally highly recommended. (Original) Es gibt eine große Auswahl an Gerichten, die Portionen sind sehr groß, sodass man sich im Normalfall nicht über die menge beschweren kann und dazu ist der preis auf jeden Fall gerechtfertigt, man zahlt also keinen cent zu viel. Dazu ist auch das personal überdurchschnittlich freundlich angesichts dessen was man heutzutage in den meisten Restaurants mitbekommt. Im allgemeinen sehr empfehlenswert.

    The Fohlenhof is a small Biergarten near the Berthold Brecht Schule, a nice location for a quick dinner or just a beer. It's not big, with an outdoor area very nice in summer. The menu has not much variety, basically composed of Würst, Schnitzel and Steaks, but salade is also available. And obviously, beer. A good idea for a summer dinner with friends.

    0 stars if possible: Service absolutely not competent, steaks wrongly cooked (too long in the pan), too expensive for that quality of food. Definitely not recommended. Oh, but the English guy was okay with his food - says it all.

    A family friendly outdoor restaurant. Kids have enough playing options around the place. The meals are well prepared and very delicious. Its very popular and thus during peak hours it might take a while before you get your order in. However, the wait is always more than worth it. It has a very cool atmosphere in general. It is one eatery I would definitely recommend in Darmstadt.

    (Translated by Google) So the food is very good. The service too. The only catch is the boss, he doesn't have it and is very moody and pulls the shop down. Exchange boss and all is well.

    (Translated by Google) We both found the choice of drinks to be pure! The chairs are extremely comfortable and I find the distance between the tables particularly adequate. In no way do you get the feeling of eating fish in a tin in the evening. For sure, I come here with my people for my part and can rely on the impeccable service. I haven't been so impressed with an inn in a long time. (Original) Die Getränkeauswahl empfanden wir beide astrein!Die Stühle sind äußerst bequem und den Abstand zwischen den Tischen finde ich besonders adäquat. Dort bekommt man in keiner Weise das Gefühl, wie Fische in der Dose Abend zu speisen. Sicher komme ich für meinen Teil da mit meinen Leuten her und kann mich darauf verlassen tadellos bedient zu werden.Ich war schon lange nicht mehr so beeindruckt von einem Gasthaus.
