Bei Benno's in Lübbenau/Spreewald

It was actually quite nice, but more of a snack bar than a proper restaurant, so unfortunately my expectations weren't met.

Superb little restaurant. Great food, excellent service, and such a beautiful decor. Please keep it this way, we'll be back. 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

An unassuming place, but the food is very tasty. A great local menu. Schnitzel in various forms. The only minor drawback is the inability to pay by card.

What a lovely evening! Very friendly service, the food was delicious for a good price, and the solyanka was amazing. You can tell it's fresh and cooked with love. Keep it up, your guests love you for it.

friendly service, good food, nice ambience.

Very tasty food, relaxed atmosphere, and nice girls behind the counter. Unfortunately, it was very loud in the restaurant. Highly recommended.

Definitely – delicious fried potatoes and a large schnitzel. Super friendly service and a very pleasant atmosphere. I would happily eat here again anytime!

Small but perfectly formed, you could say!👌 The service was very friendly, and the food arrived quickly and hot.☺️ The local beer and the beer punch were also very tasty. This won't be our last visit.

Good classic cuisine, reasonable value for money. Be prepared to wait, but it's tasty and worth the wait.

Very friendly service and it was delicious too.👍

Tasty and delicious schnitzel. Good value and quality. Very nice stuff. Cash only so prepare yourself that card are not accepted. In general nice place for lunch or dinner. Nothing fancy but decent.

Super friendly service, great atmosphere! Excellent value for money! Delicious home-style cooking! Highly recommended! :) See you soon & keep up the good work! :)

Super delicious. Nice little restaurant with very friendly service. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Very tasty and freshly prepared food. Excellent service. We were very satisfied. Highly recommended.

We ate there twice, everything was delicious, freshly prepared and the service was great.

Rustic, super tasty, affordable and great service

Very child-friendly, with children's seating, a mud kitchen, and a sandpit covered with a sunshade. Excellent home-style cooking, delicious draft beer, and parking in the backyard.

We had a delicious meal here in a cozy atmosphere. The service was very good, and our orders arrived promptly. Reasonable prices and generous portions will keep us coming back. Keep up the good work, thank you very much. We were back here less than a week ago and were once again very well looked after. The solyanka was amazing, thanks Benno👍

We were there for the first time. The food is delicious and freshly prepared. Even small special requests were easily accommodated. 100% recommendation

So, unfortunately, I have to deduct a few stars. Personally, I wouldn't eat there again. My question about whether there was a vegetarian version of the schnitzel was laughed at and answered with a no. Perhaps they should consider an alternative, such as a vegetarian bratwurst or vegetable schnitzel or something similar. One waitress was quite annoyed when I simply asked her for an alternative. It's a shame.

We wanted to go there for dinner on Sunday, June 29, 2025, because of the low prices advertised on the menu. Instead of €9 for an odd number, the regular schnitzel now costs well over €14. So beware! Online menus are NOT necessarily up-to-date. We ate elsewhere because, unfortunately, all the tables were occupied/reserved.

Interesting spot with lots of different signs and decorations everywhere. Looks a bit kitschy to be honest, but that's just my opinion. Small kitchen so everyone got their food in about 30 minutes. Food is tasty and affordable with decent portion sizes, despite what some say about small portions. Solyanka soup was good, schnitzel was also delicious and juicy. Big minus - no card payment. Saw Google responses from four years ago saying the same thing, so clearly nothing's changed. Must still be a small operation. If you have cash and want good, cheap food, it works. But be ready for very "educational" service - the woman clearing my plate made sure to mention I didn't finish the bread that came with my schnitzel. Feels like it's only good for language practice - generally don't want restaurant lectures with my meal. If that doesn't bother you, go for it.

Very tasty home-style cooking at a reasonable price. You should make a reservation if you come on the weekend, otherwise it might look bad, as seating is limited. Definitely recommended.

Absolutely top class for a snack

The food is tasty and fresh. The service is nice. The place is clean. A nice place. I recommend it.

I recommend :) the portions are very large, the food is fresh and delicious. The service is very nice :) I recommend!

Great place, relatively cheap and delicious Schnitzel

The price/performance ratio is good and the food is delicious! 👍👌

A very nice restaurant with friendly, attentive staff. The food is very good and the prices are absolutely reasonable.

Yes, gourmet is different. But that's not what it's supposed to be. Eat well, eat well, and eat well, affordably. Yes, here.

We had potatoes with quark and a chicken schnitzel topped with tomato, mozzarella, and fries. The food wasn't outstanding, but it wasn't bad either. The prices are reasonable for the portion size. The waitress was very friendly, especially considering she did everything herself. She took orders both inside and outside, poured and served drinks, and of course, served the food. Unfortunately, the outdoor seating is right on the street, which I personally don't like, but the location is just the way it is. Inside, it was very nicely decorated, and you immediately felt at home. All in all, I can really recommend it. We got a seat right away, even without booking in advance. I came back after two years, and I can still confirm the previous review.

During our vacation, we ate at various restaurants in Lübbenau and the surrounding area. Benno's was by far the absolute culinary highlight.

A small restaurant with friendly service and a large selection of schnitzels. My favorite: a stuffed schnitzel with sauerkraut, Spreewald style. The fried potatoes are also highly recommended, as they're nice and crispy and not too greasy.

The food was delicious, the ambiance was very original, and the service was friendly and humorous. My only criticism, as a city dweller, was that the place only accepts cash.

Very tasty food and humane prices.

A small restaurant with traditional local dishes. Delicious. Good prices. Very nice service. And really recommended.

We landed there after a short bike ride and received a very friendly/warm welcome. The food was super tasty (schnitzel stuffed with horseradish, gherkin and sauerkraut) plus grilletta to take away for the evening 😉

Very good at everything, what more could you want...

Very tasty food always freshly prepared.

Insider tip. Family atmosphere. Interesting metal sign exhibition.

Even though everything inside was free, we were turned away. Service is different.

We spontaneously stopped here on a bike tour and had lunch. We sat in the beer garden, service was quick and friendly. The food was freshly prepared and the price/performance ratio was very good!

Highly recommended, it's tasty and inexpensive

As always, the food was good and inexpensive!

We are happy to be able to award the 5 stars because we really liked it. Everything was great and a table for 2 was reserved for us at short notice. The beer punch was also very tasty. Many thanks to the team and the kitchen. The farmer's breakfast was highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

Food is good. Service ok. Price / performance for Lübbenau very good.

Very nice for a quick, no-fuss dinner. Unfortunately, the tables reminded me of school or retirement home equipment. Apart from cucumber and tomato salad, there wasn't a vegetarian dish on the menu. Luckily I was able to order the farmer's breakfast without ham or bacon.

Small restaurant, much too loud, you couldn't understand your own words. Food was subpar, once and never again

Small cute restaurant. The food was excellent. The evening was cozy and fun 😄. Thanks to the service 😊.

For ME it's the best food in the whole place...I love the schnitzel with seasoned meat gratinated and fries on the side...Totally delicious and a really big portion...and the price is totally ok too...I always enjoy coming to Benno's to have a good time... and what I can't manage will even be kindly packed up to take away... Thank you and keep it up...

Food was very tasty and at a moderate price, service was initially slightly overwhelmed by the group...

Great little snack bar with delicious food Very nice waitress

We had a delicious dinner. I even received a schnitzel that wasn't regularly on the menu. Great service. Great taste with homemade schnitzels. Highly recommended.

Mega tasty and absolutely inexpensive. I'll be back

We were allowed to be guests at Benno's on Saturday. Since it is a small restaurant, we were happy to get a seat. We were thrilled by the service and the home cooking that was offered. Everything delicious and freshly prepared. Thank you dear ones and keep it up.

Very tasty food with moderate prices. Service was very attentive and nice, even if it was in a shirt-sleeved manner. We would love to come back 👍

We wanted to try to get to the restaurant again today. Unfortunately we were turned away. Everything reserved. There was still a table for two available, but no chance. Then off and on

Very dear team. We immediately felt comfortable. Delicious too. Just beautiful.

Delicious food and nice staff, what more could you want. Prices also bearable.

Friendly service 😊 cozy atmosphere 👍

Eaten well and inexpensively. The service was very friendly.

Delicious food at affordable prices.

The food and service are top! Many thanks to the waitress and the chef😊!

Had dinner here 😊 The food and drinks were very tasty 😋 the service was very friendly and attentive 👍😊 I can only recommend it if you are in Lübbenau

Very nice little snack bar with a restaurant character away from the hustle and bustle, where the locals go to eat, very good food and friendly service. .

Family business with incredibly nice service! Prices are really good for the location and not as crowded as other places. Beautiful guest garden! We arrived shortly before the kitchen closed and were still warmly welcomed. (1 star deducted because the food didn't blow us away - but you can definitely do that! - but the service is even better ;))

Great food, with great service at a fair price. Gladly again.

Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food is delicious. Great value for money 😊

Nice restaurant. Nice service. Payment in cash only.

Friendly employee who, when she noticed our little one, immediately said that the sandpit was at the back. Edda also had a tidy and intact children's kitchen at her disposal! Fast service and first class quality! Thanks for that!!

Small snack bar a little away from the big tourist crowds. Great menu and friendly, fast service

Very friendly service. Prices good. Limited selection, but good food. Gladly again.

Went there in the evening and everything was full, but after a short wait we got a table. The drinks came straight away and the delicious food, which was freshly prepared (you could hear it sizzling from the kitchen), arrived quickly. The staff was very friendly and always had a smile despite the stress. We ate and drank really well here and will definitely come back here on our next visit to the Spreewald.

We have been on holiday in Lübbenau for a week now. Because of the positive reviews, we decided to eat there. But unfortunately we were disappointed. When we wanted to reserve a table (3 people) for the evening, we were told by the staff: "They don't reserve, you just have to stop by and see if something is available". Then in the evening, of course everything was occupied. 2nd attempt: there were 2-3 tables available, when asked by the staff: “Everything is reserved”. Mind you from the same lady... we enjoyed it both times in other locations

Overall a good cafe, the portions are not very large, but it corresponds to the price. The cuisine is simple but tasty. I really didn’t like Julien, but my wife was fine with it.

Very nice service, food tasty and cheap. Recommendation!

Quiet garden restaurant with nice service and inexpensive and delicious food.

Great ambience, food was very tasty, service was very nice, short waiting time for food.

All good, happy to come back any time 👍 😃😋

We are here in Lübbenau. The restaurant is only 5 minutes away from the crowded harbor. The food was great. Good portions for a good price. The service was friendly and accommodating. All in all. Thumbs up. And keep it up.

The food was very tasty and I can only recommend it 😊

Would have liked to award even more points, food fresh, delicious and lovingly prepared, service very accommodating... overall recommended

Very good food in the beautiful beer garden with nice service

Really delicious food and at a good price too. Very friendly service. We'd love to come back.

We have tried to go in for dinner and the service before we were able to sit down has been terrible. Very rude on the part of the clerks. We were with two small children and they clearly didn't want to let us in because of that. Regrettable.

Small but mighty! We came here twice because we liked it so much. The food was excellent. Very tasty and attractively presented. The interior is decorated with lots of small details, some of which are funny. The staff are on their toes and always have a relaxed attitude on their lips. The only drawback on my part: Payment is only possible in cash!

Stuffed Spreewald schnitzel with fried potatoes, asparagus with potatoes and hollandaise.

Delicious schnitzel and great service

Great food, nice people and not expensive.

At Bennis the service was super courteous and very friendly. Always have a joke on your lips. When it came to choosing dishes, they were very open to what customers wanted. Fine. The food looks great and is very tasty. Very pleasantly priced. We can fully recommend this restaurant. There was nothing to complain about here. We say thank you

Simple restaurant with reasonable prices and delicious food

Very friendly and quick-witted service ;-), the food is good, home-style and the price is reasonable. You should pre-order if more than 5 people are arriving.

The food was very good, but the street noise was not so pleasant. The service was very funny, so everything was great. Always happy.

Service is quick and friendly, everything is super clean, the menu is meat-heavy, but they respond empathetically to every meal request. Excellent price-performance ratio!

Good, tasty home-style cuisine at moderate prices. For us it was an insider tip and we were not disappointed. We'd love to come back

Very tasty, fresh food at reasonable prices. Fresh schnitzel, seasonal asparagus, fast and very friendly service! Parking possible directly behind the house. Small beer garden, very cozy.

Great, small, very well-kept snack bar, more like a small restaurant. The schnitzels are very tasty and it is absolutely worth the price. I've been here several times and the quality has always been good.

Food is very simple, the service is very unfriendly! Not recommendable.

It was just very good. The asparagus and the schnitzel were really tasty and not overly seasoned. I can warmly recommend the restaurant and the unique service.

Cozy restaurant with delicious food in Lübbenau.
