Altes Bahnhöf'l in Dahn

Good, home-style food. Tasty. Very friendly and competent service. Great side salad. Almost a complete meal.

Where should we start? The best place to start is with the operation: Very accommodating and friendly and not intrusive. My extra wishes were immediately addressed and nothing that couldn't be done! Despite the full house, she was calm herself and took the time for one. Let's get to the food: I had an Argentinian rump steak with a forest mushroom sauce and extra cheese spaetzle. When it comes to eating out, I'm always very skeptical. I was more than positively surprised here! The steak was fried to perfection and had a perfect crust on the outside, the onions and the wild mushroom sauce were simply a dream! The kässpätzle were also great! The portions are very large (and I like to eat). For dessert there was Kaiserschmarrn with vanilla ice cream, cream and fruit. Yes, everything has its price but here it is definitely worth it!

The day before we wanted to make a reservation for 7 people, even though it was full we were able to get a place. The staff was extremely friendly, always with a smile on their faces. We were very enthusiastic about the food, the portions were plentiful and the price was reasonable. Since we were visiting, we of course only chose typical Palatinate food, which we really enjoyed. The restaurant was very full, but everything went well.

I went to the Altes Bahnhöfl for the first time in 1991 and have been coming back ever since. The quality of the food is simply unsurpassed and the staff is always friendly.

Very nicely restored train station with a great restaurant. Very cozy and tastefully decorated. The food tastes excellent and the service is extremely friendly and accommodating. Despite the longer journey, we would love to come back!!!

Always great! Absolute recommendation.

We stopped at the restaurant after a hike. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. I had the schnitzel with chili cheese sauce. It was very tasty, and the portions were generous, even after a hike (I had two schnitzels with plenty of fries and salad). We didn't visit the hotel, but it looked very nice from the outside. If you like railway romance, this is the place for you.

Everything is great! Prices are ok for what you get. Food was exceptionally good

Ausgezeichnetes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis im gemütlichem Ambient. Aus unserer ehemaligen Kletterhütte ist ein tolles Restaurant mit leckerem Essen geworden

We had a good meal here with our two primary school aged children. The portions were generous and tasty, and we found the prices to be quite high for a restaurant in the Palatinate Forest. Since there's always a lot going on here and the quality is right, that's okay for us. Parking spaces are located directly in front of the restaurant. We weren't in the hotel or the rooms and therefore can't give a review.

We have eaten there several times and every time it is great no matter what we have eaten. The hotel with the train as a reception and breakfast room is unique and really great.

We stopped here after a hike. It was full, but we were still able to get space for 4 people. The staff was very nice, the food came quickly and was incredibly tasty! That was a really great end to the hike.

Three of us came there spontaneously after a long hike, arrived without a reservation and the food and drink came quite quickly. The service was very friendly. The food is good too.

Was soll man sagen? Wir sind seit einigen Jahren Gäste in dieser Lokalität, ob mittags oder abends. Die Qualität des Essens ist spitze, Bedienungen freundlich und kompetent, der Gastgeber sehr nett. Für das Restaurant empfiehlt sich eine Tischreservierung, weil es in der Regel voll besetzt ist (was schon alleine für sich spricht!). Gewohnt haben wir sowohl in einem Eisenbahnwaggon als auch in der FeWo mit Dachterrasse und waren immer zufrieden. In zwei Wochen sind wir wieder da und das bestimmt nicht zum letzten Mal. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Wir kommen immer wieder gerne mit unseren "Schlemmermäulern" hierher. Der ideale Abschluss eines jeden Wochenendtrips. Der Service und das Essen waren immer perfekt.👍

Delicious food and a nice ambience.

I ate at this restaurant with my husband based on a recommendation. The potato soup was very thick, almost like porridge, and had a strong Maggi flavor. My main course was chicken breast and salad. The price-performance ratio was definitely not right here. A small piece of meat and a simple green salad without tomatoes or peppers. This is very disappointing, especially since the ambience of the restaurant is very appealing.

Nice old train station with a good restaurant. The food was great and the service was very friendly. You can tell people enjoy working there. You'll be happy to come here again.

Last night I had dinner with my birthday party at the Altes Bahnhöf'l. What can I write? Everything was 100% perfect. A huge compliment to the kitchen and the very nice service, we felt comfortable at all times. The food was without exception of very high quality, whether vegetarian, salads or meat. That's why I would like to thank the Burkhart family and the whole team again for the wonderful evening.

The restaurant is rated: Rarely eaten so deliciously and filling portions so well!!! Pan-fried schnitzel with Burgundy sauce, Müllerin trout, tagliatelle with shrimps... first of all, pepperoni in garlic stock and snails with herb butter, mmhhh... Handcrafted very well and honestly at a price that is not too high but reasonable. The service was very friendly, not fake friendly... but warm!!! The atmosphere with the beautiful pictures is simply homely and valuable. We'll be back... promise 👍🏼...

We ate there for Christmas and I can only recommend it! Very nice and attentive staff and delicious food.

This evening we ate at the Bahnhöf'l for the first time. The food was very good: - Salad with warm schnitzel strips - Schnitzel with cream sauce - Beef salad with fried potatoes - and the chili cheese sauce 🌶️🤩👍🏼 Everything 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Very good food, friendly service, cozy restaurant.

Ten of us and two children had dinner in the old train station. There is a great selection of different food and drinks, the portions are very large and the taste is excellent - especially the cheese sauce is amazing :) Happy to come back!

Reichhaltige regionale Küche. Abwechslungsreich und super zubereitet und serviert. Orientiert sich nicht am Mainstream vieler Gastronomen. Deshalb komme ich immer wieder sehr gerne hierher.

Was there for lunch. Had a turkey schnitzel with mushroom cream sauce and fries. Quality and taste absolutely top. Very tasty food in a cozy atmosphere. Thank you

Der Service war insgesamt eher durchschnittlich, mit wenig Interesse und Freundlichkeit seitens des Personals – hier gibt es definitiv Luft nach oben. Eine Ausnahme war jedoch die junge Dame, die uns begrüßt hat. Sie war äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit – ein großes Lob an sie, und ich hoffe, dass sie sich diese positive Art beibehält. Das Essen war gutbürgerlich, mit einer ordentlichen Auswahl, und insgesamt in Ordnung, ohne besonders hervorzustechen. Die Atmosphäre war entspannt, und Hunde sind willkommen, was ich sehr geschätzt habe. Das Restaurant verfügt über eine schöne, große Terrasse, die ein angenehmes Plätzchen bietet. Die Umgebung lädt zum spazieren ein. Die Zugwaggons, die zu Hotelzimmern umgebaut wurden, scheinen wie eine nette Idee und sorgen für Abwechslung – ich habe jedoch nur das Äußere gesehen.

Old station Great decor RESERVATIONS required Was served by Jutta, super friendly woman

The two of us had dinner and it was very tasty. Service was extremely friendly and fast despite the restaurant being fully booked. We will definitely come back.

Good meal in the old train station

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food. Absolutely recommended!

Good place, fast cuisine and most of all it tastes great. And who is the best boss? Matthäus Burkhard 😎👑

Service was very slow and not attentive, our plates weren't cleared for 40 minutes and we then waited another 10 minutes for the bill. The drinks only came after the starter Food ok but not good enough for the price Interior not inviting and very dark

Very friendly staff and very good food. Recommended

Ambience great. The “Esslinger” is beautifully built into the attached hotel ❤️ The food was very tasty. Nice restaurant. And a beautiful large beer garden with special counters. Ideal for train lovers and day trippers with motorbikes and cars.

Extremely friendly, tasty and highly recommended! Price-performance is great, the food is really very tasty! Great location with great staff. Thanks for the nice service and the fantastic food.

Very tasty, grilled chicken. Top 👍

We were there for dinner. I can only recommend it

Very tasty food 😋 Were not in the hotel...

Best honeymoon ever🥰 Everything was wonderful! Great service... Very friendly staff... Excellent food The boss is fantastic... Good for all surprises 😀 We always enjoy coming back ❤️

Nice location with train station character. Delicious, affordable food, also regional. The hotel offers beautiful rooms in a modeled train station building. Holiday apartments are set up in former railway carriages. You can have breakfast in a former railcar that is intended to be in the main building.

Great staff, excellent selection of dishes and nice atmosphere. Always my pleasure. Oh, and it tastes delicious.

Ate a delicious meal and felt full before taking part in the mountain bike Wasgau Marathon the next day

Das Essen war sehr lecker. Das Restaurant ist sehr gemütlich und schön. Die Vorspeise war auch sehr lecker und die Bedienung freundlich.

The food was excellent, the service was very good and courteous. Although there was a full house (Oktoberfest) Thanks so much

Pleasant atmosphere! Very good cuisine! Nice staff! Always my pleasure!

Food was great. Unfortunately there was a problem with the service

Spontaneous meal with three people. Nice clean atmosphere, very fast service, large portions and very tasty food. Clear recommendation. The only negative point: the service seemed unfriendly. Otherwise the service was very quick and polite. Therefore a star deduction.

I had the pleasure of visiting the “Altes Bahnhöf’l” restaurant and I can only report positive things! From the moment we arrived we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The ambience is inviting and charming, with a nostalgic feel reminiscent of times gone by. The menu offers a diverse selection and the food was simply outstanding. Every bite was a delight! The dishes are prepared with great attention to detail and taste fresh and delicious. I would particularly like to highlight the service. The staff was not only attentive and friendly, but also very competent. It was clear that the employees know their craft and are always striving to offer guests an unforgettable experience. We felt completely comfortable and will definitely come back. A big thank you to the entire team at “Altes Bahnhöf’l” for this wonderful stay! Highly recommended!

Food was good, but the service needs a lot of improvement. Unfortunately there is no trace of the typical Palatinate hospitality. It's a shame... we were looking forward to a nice evening... The dining room was very stuffy and loud, so it was more suitable as a garden restaurant.

Super delicious food, very nice staff

Einen Tag vorher wollten wir für 7 Personen reservieren, obwohl voll war wurde uns ermöglicht eine Platz zu bekommen. Das Personal war überaus freundlich, immer ein Lachen auf dem Gesicht. Vom Essen waren wir sehr begeistert, die Portionen waren reichlich und der Preis human. Da wir zu Besuch waren, haben wir natürlich nur typisch pfälzisches Essen gewählt, was, was uns sehr geschmeckt hat. Das Restaurant war sehr voll, jedoch hat alles super geklappt.

Very delicious food. I recommend

Very good cuisine, great portions and all the service staff were very friendly and quick, even though the restaurant was very full and they were busy. “Extra” requests were also addressed without any problems. The only small downside was one of the two boiled beef dishes in our group, which was quite full of fat. But overall, definitely a great evening, we would come back!

Fascinating hotel with a unique flair. Fantastic breakfast and excellent food in the attached restaurant. The location in the magical rocky land does the rest. Perfect all around!

There were 4 of us and we had different dishes. Without exception it was found to be exceptionally good. The service was very nice and accommodating. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right, no one leaves here hungry. If you want to sit outside it's better to book in advance, although it's just as pleasant inside. The conclusion is a very clear recommendation0

Best Palatinate cuisine! And other dishes too!!! This is always worth a visit!!!

Toller Service super Essen, wir waren rundum zufrieden. Werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. Wir hatten zweimal Fischgerichte s.ehr lecker

Unfriendly service, I ordered 2 alcoholic drinks and got a non-alcoholic one. Before the drinks were brought, I showed my ID to confirm my age, but the customer's request was ignored. could be better.

Great service, great food, we were completely thrilled!

Very courteous service and first-class cuisine❤️ Always happy again🤗

We spontaneously came for dinner and were given a nice place in the garden. The selection of dishes is more than sufficient, the quality is very, very good and the size of the portions also leaves nothing to be desired. We would particularly like to emphasize the exceptional friendliness and courteousness of the staff. We'd love to come back!

We were here with our grandchildren, 3 and 5 years old, and they all loved it. The bunk bed was her highlight. The apartment in the wagon has everything you need and is very lovingly furnished. Bread service is great. We ate very well in the restaurant, service was very good. Invites everything to come back.

Wir waren gerade Abendessen,super lecker,hat alles gepasst 👍eine sehr nette,aufmerksame Bedienung Jana. wir kommen wieder beim nächsten Kurztrip in die Pfalz 😀

Very tasty food, perfect steak medium, value for money! Friendly waitresses! We would be happy to come back at any time! 👍🏼😊

Ich war abends gegen 18:30 Uhr im alten Bahnhofsgebäude. Es war gut mit Gästen gefüllt, die netten Kellnerinnen fanden aber noch einen Tisch für mich. Ich wählte eine große Rieslingschorle für 5,90 Euro und aus dem reichhaltigen Angebot an Steaks, Schnitzeln und Pfälzer Spezialitäten die Fleschkneppes mit Meerrettichtunke (ähneln Königsberger Klopsen). Preis 13,90 Euro. Das Essen kam zügig, gut temperiert und war reichhaltig. Gut, wenn man vorher z. B. die 13 km des Dahner Felsenrundwegs gewandert ist. Und es schmeckte vorzüglich. Ein schöner Abschluss meiner zweiwöchigen Wanderreise ins Dahner Felsenland.

Lokal mit angenehmem Ambiente, gutbürgerlicher Küche und freundlichem Personal. Die Speisen waren schön angerichtet und lecker. Leider hatten wir etwas Pech mit unserer Bedienung. Während die anderen Tische laufend bedient wurden, warteten wir... schade. Das Lokal ist auch unter der Woche sehr gut besucht, weshalb sich eine Reservation empiehlt.

We dined there with a larger group in August. The food was excellent and the service was super friendly. Thank you for the lovely evening 🤩 and see you next year

We spent 3 days in the great beer garden and indulged in culinary delights. Rarely have I had such a delicious steak. The charcoal grilled chicken was also very tasty. Being with Matthäus and his team is like coming home.

As always, the food was great. Host and service simply great. We always like to come!

We were there for dinner with a club. Unfortunately the group was split into several tables of six and even a table of two. Drink prices are very high (Cola almost 4 euros). Food is also relatively expensive, as a side salad has to be ordered separately and then a cream schnitzel with fries and salad costs just under 25 euros. But: The service (older lady with short hair) was very inattentive and unfriendly, almost grumpy. Our drinks were forgotten. When asked about it, she just said, “Ah yes.” When she brought the drinks, a lady at the table ordered another drink. She grumbled, “I was just here at the table.” Sorry, but that’s her job. I have no understanding for something like that. When the first people paid, my neighbor wanted to order another beer. She said “I won’t bring you that anymore. Your bus is leaving soon.” Sorry, but that’s a no go. Service is different!

Food 5 out of 5. Great quality, you notice that you can cook fresh even in a restaurant. Service nice and friendly.

Have visited several times and eaten very well again. Ambience very nice 😊👍

Great food and great service! Gladly again 😊

Great food, great service. Gladly again.

Very good and rich food at reasonable prices.

Were on the return journey home. The stopover was very worth it, very tasty food...

Very nice restaurant. And always worth a stop.

What can I say, we had four wonderfully beautiful days in the Altes Bahnhöf'l. The nights were extremely relaxing, the day started with an extensive breakfast buffet and the evenings ended with delicious food, drinks and great service. Nothing more is possible. Thanks to the entire staff and see you next year. Your Cologne residents

Best Swiss sausage salad I've ever tasted. Surprisingly had stuffed pepperoni and champion, as well as a zucchini slice and of course a cucumber slice and tomato. Served with Palatinate friendliness 😉. Gladly again,🥰

We went to the restaurant for dinner. The food was very good and was served quickly. The service was very friendly and attentive. We can recommend the restaurant.

Our trusted host! Always happy to go there because it is simply delicious! Especially the pepper cream sauce! ;)

It was very nice, the food was very good and the service was friendly.

Very nice, partially covered beer garden. Friendly, quick service, delicious food.

really unusual atmosphere. The entire hotel and the rooms are furnished with great attention to detail. Unusual!

Update August 2024: We were here again and were very satisfied again. The food tasted very good, the portions were plentiful and the service was once again super nice. Reservations in advance are recommended as it is really busy here. The beer garden is super cozy and partly covered. We'll definitely be back! Very tasty food! Attentive and friendly waitresses. Nice atmosphere in the courtyard (we just sat outside and ate). You can have a good time here.

Delicious. Very comfortable. Family atmosphere Always my pleasure

Wow, that was super delicious. We went there spontaneously and were thrilled with the food..very large portions, fast service and very friendly..we are already looking forward to the next visit.

Very nice hotel, great breakfast, very nice staff, food very good

Wonderful place to enjoy Palatinate specialties, reasonable prices and top service

In the entire region the restaurant with the most typical Palatinate cuisine, good quality, quantity and price, just as we have always known it. Palatinate specialties combined with entrepreneurial spirit - very courageous; Here a hotel was basically built around an old train and you can also spend the night in wagons. The food is definitely worth a visit and perhaps an overnight stay.

We've eaten at your place several times now and we've always enjoyed it! I particularly like your warm chocolate cake :)

Delicious food, as always. Good service and friendliness included

Superschöne Location, sehr sauber, mit kleinem Kinderspielplatz. Personal ist sehr aufmerksam, Essen ist super und dauert nicht lange. Ausreichend Platz, auch für kurzentschlossene, nicht wie andere Restaurants im Tal, bei denen man Tage im Voraus reservieren muss oder die es entgegen der Angaben auf den ganzen gastro-seiten gar nicht mehr gibt. Sehr guter Gesamteindruck.

We were not enthusiastic guests at the Reichenbach holiday station at the weekend, but were also able to enjoy the excellent regional cuisine and the excellent service at the Altes Bahnhöf'l restaurant on two evenings. The service was top, the employees were very friendly and attentive, the very tasty meals, for 11 people, were served at the same time, special requests were courteously fulfilled, the price/performance ratio was so good that you can really feel at home!

Very good selection of food at reasonable prices.

Great ambience, very tasty food, very chilled outdoor area, individually furnished rooms.

I stopped in for lunch after a bike ride in the area. The farmer bratwurst with sauerkraut was absolutely delicious.

Sehr angenehm, zuvorkommende Bedienungen. Essen fein, zügig am Tisch. Sehr schönes Ambiente, man spürt die Liebe zum Detail. Komme gerne wieder

It is by far the best restaurant and hotel I have ever been to. The staff is super nice. The hotel is a real 5 star ⭐️ hotel, the beautiful old design is so well suited to the location, everything just fits. Breakfast is sensational just sitting on the train and eating. You can also eat very well in the restaurant because the prices are reasonable.
