Appetize in Heidenheim an der Brenz

From the outside, it's an unassuming restaurant. The buffet isn't particularly large, but everything is of quite good quality. There's something for every taste. Plenty of free parking in front of the building. If we're in Heidenheim again, we'll definitely come back!

Large selection for all you can eat!

Everything's okay, it's just mass production. Very expensive. Drinks great selection. Uncomfortable because it's so big. Starters only lukewarm.

We've been here several times and have always been very satisfied. There's a nice little play area for children and a generally very pleasant atmosphere.

Delicious food, great, very large buffet! Good price

Everything's good 👍 If you want to find something to complain about, you'll also find something negative about five stars 😁

I could only eat a frog's leg and chocolate-covered bananas from a friend... Nobody knows that the place closes at 10 p.m. and stays open until 11 p.m. So, the service was rated negatively, and I didn't see much of the food, so it wasn't really any better. PS: I'd adjust the opening hours or at least mention it on the website. You should know.

Been there for the first time. Very cozy atmosphere. The food tasted very good. We'd love to come back!

Were there for the last time today... the taste was extremely poor... it's not worth the money... long waiting times when something runs out. There was no normal rice for over half an hour...there are better places

Wow, I can only miss it super tasty 👍👍😇😇

Large selection of many different international dishes.

The food is very tasty and freshly prepared

The food was very tasty and the service was friendly and accommodating 👍

Very tasty dishes. Highly recommended for family celebrations.

We were there last Sunday and unfortunately we didn't have a good experience. We were there 1 full hour before closing time. The buffet was almost empty and was no longer refilled even though the restaurant was still busy. When we asked, we were told that the buffet would no longer be filled and that we should say what we would like and it would then be prepared. Unfortunately, you didn't have the buffet enjoyment you had hoped for. And all for a price of almost €30 per person! Since we had only had one soup at that point, we just paid for it and left. Never again!

There were 3 of us and everything was excellent, thank you very much

Yesterday I was with a friend However, we were treated very rudely by an employee. She works there regularly and seems to be a hostess of sorts. Even before we actually entered, she spoke to us disrespectfully. When we asked her why she spoke to us like that, she simply replied, “Don’t you see how much stress I’m under?” Of course, I understand that it can be stressful when things are busy. But that doesn't mean guests should be treated unkindly. If you can't handle stress, you probably shouldn't work in customer service. In addition, many of the dishes in the buffet were often empty, so we couldn't really enjoy the food like on other days. Nevertheless we paid in full. I understand busy situations, but poor service and unfriendly treatment of guests are unacceptable.

We always enjoy coming here, whether as a couple or as a family! The food is always great and the atmosphere invites you to try something new!

Food tastes great, very nice, friendly staff

Essen war schon besser und auch heißer

Disappointing when you have to keep asking at buffets whether it will be refilled again. Some of the food was ready-made products that you know and taste like from the freezers of discounters, but for a proud 31.50 euros, they were rather disappointing and not recommended.

Very extensive buffet, good sushi, lots of choice, Tucher beers, plenty of desserts

Was here twice, not once was the food warm, really nothing. Not even basic stuff. The employees don't do much and unfortunately everything tastes like plastic. (more based on dimensions rather than quality)

The restaurant is clean and the food is sumptuous. The selection is huge and everything has always been fresh. You just have to look a little closer at the fruit sometimes, but otherwise it's a great restaurant. There is enough parking space even when it is busy. The service is friendly and reliable/courteous. Any comments/complaints will be responded to immediately and professionally. Top!

I like this restaurant. Always good, always everything fresh and clean.

We were at Appetize today, August 18, 2022. I don't think the name of the restaurant is particularly appropriate for an Asian restaurant, but that's a good thing. The food was delicious and the selection at the buffet was large. Unfortunately, the replenishment of the food wasn't always ready on time, so I was often left with empty bowls. I thought the price of €14.90 per person was okay because you could get food, soft drinks, dessert and coffee as often as you wanted. Because you have to get everything yourself, including the drinks, there is a bit of a canteen feel because there is no service. Only a man comes every now and then and clears away the dirty dishes. You then pay when you leave. All in all it was good and I'll come back again. Update: Went here again for dinner on January 29, 2025. Nothing has changed in terms of food and it was again very tasty. The only thing that has changed is the price. You now pay €18.50 for the lunch buffet. What I didn't like this time was that the food wasn't very warm and by the time you put something on your plate and got to your seat, the food was only lukewarm. You definitely have to turn the temperature up again.

Food tastes great. Staff very polite and accommodating. My daughter left her cell phone on the toilet. An employee found it. An employee was smart enough to connect it to the charger in case the owner calls.

Very good here, all the staff are super nice and the buffet is very good 😊

Super classy restaurant, delicious food,

The buffet was very cheap at a price of 33 euros

We went there again for dinner. The service was very friendly. The food was, as always, very, very tasty. We look forward to next time. This Chinese restaurant is highly recommended.

Food is often cold, quality has deteriorated significantly, service is very nice and also makes a spontaneous birthday party.

Good food and good selection. Quality could be even better - it's just a "mass buffet". But it was always refilled well and the tables were cleared regularly

A beautiful restaurant with a lot of choice and super friendly staff!

I can confirm that the appetize has a large selection, but it doesn't taste good at all! The dishes are tasteless and the meat is very dry. Even the freshly grilled food never met my taste. Unfortunately the worst all you can eat that I have ever visited! And I have to say, I've been there three times so far and it was confirmed again every time!

Delicious! Price/performance top! Great atmosphere!

Lots of choice, super tasty, the best Asian buffet I've ever been to. I'll definitely come back :)❤️

The buffet impressed with its extraordinary variety, allowing guests to discover a variety of dishes that they may never have tried before. Particularly noteworthy is the opportunity to gain new culinary experiences and expand your own taste horizons - an invitation to get involved with unfamiliar flavors and exciting combinations. The ambience of the restaurant was excellently designed and added significantly to the overall experience. The stylish and inviting atmosphere provided the ideal setting to enjoy the meal to the fullest. Every detail seemed carefully thought out to ensure guests had a pleasant and relaxed experience. A charming detail that rounds off the experience: at the end of the visit, each guest receives a fortune cookie. This small but symbolic moment leaves a positive and lasting impression that completes the overall picture of a special evening. A visit that is worthwhile not only for lovers of exceptional buffets, but also for anyone who is looking for a harmonious combination of enjoyment and ambience.

Food is standard like in any Asian all-you-can-eat restaurant, everyone gets the same ready-made meal. The price is simply too high, you pay less for the same food elsewhere. But what really bothered me was the "children's play area" - it's great that something like that even exists. But where were the toys? Everything was broken, only the slide was intact. A slide where the child falls directly onto the marble floor is not exactly harmless. The store makes so much profit that the toys have to be replaced every now and then. I really felt sorry for the kids!

Classic “Buffet Chinese”. Tidy - well stocked and something for everyone. Just a little more additional vegetable selection would be great. In the evening there is an even larger selection compared to lunch. Quite full towards the weekend - but still completely ok and not "overcrowded". Reservations possible by telephone.

Very very tasty, commendable service, very friendly staff

Number 1 for us ♥️ go there almost every Saturday

Everyone was very nice, but unfortunately the food was only lukewarm. The fries don't work at all. The freshly fried food is brought to the table. Unfortunately, this is only lukewarm. Too bad. The bedside buffet is delicious. Wine and cocktails have to be paid extra. 2 beers per person and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price of €28.50. There is enough parking space available. There is a small play area for children.

So let's be honest: I would prefer to give zero stars. If you're going to eat fried noodles, then you definitely don't expect cheap fried linguine/spaghetti noodles.🤮😡 The best thing was the price of almost 20 euros for the spaghetti and a bit of duck. It was definitely the last time!!!! No recommendation

Very good cuisine, really great food

The food was mostly cold, we had to get our own cocktails, and the waitress didn't even come to us. Later, when we were cleaning up the plates, the waitress was unfriendly and after we asked to pay, we received a sporadic response with chewing gum in our mouths. We were here last time.

A buffet at this price is awesome. And the selection is huge and the ambience is uniquely beautiful. Another visit is coming up and full of anticipation.

Very nice service and very good food.

Everything delicious 😋 & clean including quiet soothing music in the background 🎶. Friendly welcome, great service.

The taste of the food wasn't anything special, I wouldn't say you couldn't eat it, but for €30 it wasn't particularly good and some of it was cold and the meat was dry. Apart from that, I didn't tolerate the food well at all. To be fair, the ambience and service were good.

There is a buffet here, food until you can't wait. Unfortunately the quality wasn't great. The "freshly" prepared seafood was tough and dry.

Super nice and delicious, we love being here

Fantastic buffet, everything clean, drinks for free, great restaurant, friendly staff, always happy

There is simply something for every taste. Great selection 👍

Very good food, large selection, very nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff, we always like to come back.

Chinese/Asian buffet, very extensive with sushi, fish, meat in many variations. Starters and desserts plentiful. Everything I ate was very good, maybe it could have been a little hotter. The complete price for food and drinks is absolutely justified at €18.50. Absolutely recommended

Unfortunately, the food is usually only lukewarm, which is a shame.

In principle very pleasant. I only have two stars for service because I only met the clearing service - and the girls were busy. Ambiance is good and pleasant. Everything I was able to test, or rather taste, of food was great and I was definitely full - if you look at the pictures

The food is very good, unfortunately it is always cold, which is a shame.

Very good here, happy to come back

Shushi is not enough, food doesn't taste good anymore. Service customers look annoyed. For me it's not ❌

Everything was great, gladly again Thanks

It was very tasty again! Looking forward to next time.

I'm here for the first time today. I still have to get a first impression

Very friendly people. I have rarely eaten as well as I did there. It was also OK in terms of price. Wasn't here the last time. It was great again tonight...

Certainly a nice concept. But that's a canteen atmosphere

Were there today for my birthday. We were satisfied with 3x buffet meals. 2x meals were cooked and tasted 5 stars. But the duration is not worth 1 star. Had to wait over 1 hour for the plate. If you complain, you will only receive a €5 voucher

Chairs were dirty, there was mostly no food left. We then had something made that took an hour until it was at the table and it was cold. If there was a birthday child with us on the phone, they said that the birthday child could eat for free. Unfortunately, we all had to pay and you got a small "gift". We also complained to the store owner and were put off with a €5 voucher. So we went out hungry and went to McDonald's. So we won't be coming back, regardless of whether the store was full or not. Something like that doesn't work at all.

Great, clean restaurant with very good parking. The best buffet in Germany and very friendly, helpful staff. TOP PRICE, including a huge selection of drinks

Glutamate as far as the eye can see. I would stay away from the "fresh" meat and fish.

Only 2 stars for the service. I come to the checkout, say my table number and am charged for the lunch buffet even though I only had the lunch menu. Only after I correct this does the lower price immediately appear at the checkout. The drinks have different prices. If you take the buffet they are cheaper. A Hefeweizen costs 4.80 euros without the buffet. I think that's too expensive.

The food was ok, the atmosphere was very nice, there was hardly any service but a little explanation at the beginning of how everything worked would have been nice.

It was good, we almost ate until we threw up and it tasted great, except... someone puked in the toilet and some little kid stuck his poopy underpants down under the toilet. But it was still a good experience.

Food is quite good if you like Asian cuisine. Has always been clean

Nice service. Nice ambience. Great selection always fresh. Delicious food 👍

Food Very good Service very good Ambiance Very good Top restaurant 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Food, service and ambience are ok, but the woman at the checkout/receptionist, or whatever you call her….. I've never been treated so unkindly and condescendingly by anyone, it's really bad. And that wasn't the first time, that's why I have to comment on it today, word will get around because I assume that other people can feel the same way. Unfortunately, that is the first impression of an otherwise satisfactory visit to the restaurant.

Everything was great and delicious 😋 😋

Lots of food, lots going on, big selection, great service, not cheap, but worth it.

Very large and rich buffet with drinks at a great price. Service very friendly!

I always like to go there, plenty of selection, everything is very clean, very friendly staff

Great food!! A bit humid in the summer, otherwise everything is fine

Buffet is rich but be careful to be there at least 2 hours before the end otherwise you will only have leftovers and 0 selection 1 hour before the end it won't be refilled.. that's what happened to me.. but then ask for the full price. The only solution from the staff.. tell us what you want, well it was all empty 1 hour before closing time.. should you say everything.. there was only a hint that they would do it in 1 hour.. I was expecting at least one offer to be half price or would you like a dish... just come earlier next time... true or not again at all

Appetize is my life. I love this place! Service is top and nice Facility is cool I would go on Saturday and Sunday so you can do things e.g. Kangaroo, zebra, chicken... fry There are also vegan and vegetarian items!

We went to lunch today, the boss of the day probably didn't have a good day today but yes, it can happen... what disappointed us today was the much praised terrace... well it's probably just being winterized... the flowers/plants are already waiting to the undertaker...the terrace was beautiful and well-kept...and now a very sad sight...a shame!

They have fantastic prices now. Especially if you have eaten there and want to take something with you. The menu to order is also extremely overpriced. There is better for the money

Food is very good for an all you can eat buffet. Large selection and the food, which is freshly fried, is ready quickly. I particularly like the selection of drinks.

Really good food, very nice staff. I can only recommend it to everyone!!

Very large room, divided into smaller seating areas. Buffet very rich and varied with plenty of space to move around.

Very tasty food and chilled drinks. We'll be back. Selection is top.

Would love to eat delicious food again

We have already been there twice and are very satisfied. There is a lot of choice at the buffet and it is regularly refilled. The staff is very friendly and the empty plates were always cleared away quite quickly. Drinks (non-alcoholic) and 2 beers are included in the buffet price. I think the price of €31.50 (in the evening) is justified. Reservation would be good. We'll definitely be back😊

We have always been satisfied with the food, the ambience and the service. Recommended!

Very tasty, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Really nice here, food tastes good too :)

Definitely overpriced buffet price. Selection for an Asian buffet was limited, quality was mediocre, food displays were often empty and sometimes unhygienic (flies). Location in the middle of the commercial area, parking on site.

They've been to the lunch buffet a few times now, occasionally to the evening buffet and have also taken advantage of the "to good to go" opportunity here. I find the location very unusual and appealing. At first it's just big, the reason being that you have enough space for the next person and can still have a good conversation. I particularly like the great parking lot. You can park right in front of the restaurant, no matter how busy it is or what time you come. Also worth mentioning is the greetings aimed at drinks. Many of the drinks are high quality brands. It's a shame that you have to pay extra and, as always, the beer is included. The quality of the food is quite good. Some of the varieties are not as warm as you would like, but they are easy to understand given this size. We will be back.

Nice service, good food. Unfortunately the selection for vegetarian/vegan is a bit small, but it's okay

Wonderful atmosphere, very tasty cuisine and a huge selection of dishes!!!

Beautiful restaurant and delicious food Huge selection of seafood and other things, there is also something for vegetarians There is something for every taste, whether sweet, salty, sour, savory or fruity, everyone will find something here The mussels are always very large and there are different varieties of fish and meat. Among other things, there are also many salads and fruits At the sweet counter you will find many different cakes, cream puffs, donuts, chocolate fountains in brown and white, puddings, yoghurts, mashmallows and much more. The highlight for every child is the chocolate fountain. There is also a soft ice cream machine and various ice cream. When it comes to fruits, there is something for everyone, from pineapples to blueberries, grapes, lichis, apples, pears, peaches and much more. Children will also find something because there are fries nuggets and spring rolls. You can find various pasta dishes, rice and meat. The staff is very nice and always replenishes the food immediately. There is also a grill where you can put raw meat in various sauces and watch the food being grilled. The food is then brought to the table. With the all you can drink there are a lot of drinks including beer. All in all, it is a wonderful restaurant where you can have a good meal with friends and family.
