Bootshaus Biggesee in Olpe

Food is ok. Service and location very nice.

Onion schnitzel with fried potatoes. The onions were delicious.

Sehr nettes Personal, Buffet hervorragend und reichlich, verschiedene Brötchen, süsse Speisen, leckere Wurst- und Käsesorten. Wir kommen wieder 🤗

Delicious food in a very cozy atmosphere.

The food is quite good, we especially think the special breakfast events are great.

Very nice location right on the lake. The service was friendly. However, we had two lattes and a cocoa with a shot of Baileys. The Baileys was charged in full, meaning we paid EUR 9.70 for a latte. This is usury!!! I've never paid almost 10 EUR for a latte macchiato, not even in holiday regions, that's a total waste. Unfortunately my last visit here.

Reviews will be deleted, here is my new review. Food was lukewarm, no proper communication with the waitress. An absolute disaster for me.

We would love to come back, just perfect

Food good. The service is a bit overwhelmed with a lot of customers. The ambience is great.

I recently had breakfast there and it was very good and the conditions were very friendly. I can really recommend it

Very nice boathouse, especially in the evening hours with candles shining. The staff is very nice and friendly. And very friendly furnished. I like it very much. Always my pleasure. 💐👍

Very cozy restaurant with a view of the lake! Friendly staff and delicious breakfast. There are numerous seats in the restaurant and on the terrace. There is sufficient parking space near the indoor swimming pool, subject to a charge.

Waren heute im Bootshaus und hatten die mit Abstand schlechteste Currywurst die wir je hatten und das noch völlig überteuert. Aber noch schlimmer, die Magenprobleme, die wir beide anschließend bekommen haben gönne ich keinem. Schade, es war mal okay, aber jetzt nicht mehr.

The atmosphere is of course inviting, but unfortunately the food and service were not appropriate for the price.

Super nice terrace right on the lake and even with a dog it was very easy to find a place at lunchtime. Unfortunately we had to go in to eat because the wasps became too intrusive. The food, we had baked potatoes with chicken breast and one with smoked salmon, were tasty but could have had a few more roasted flavors to my taste. The chicken breast was very good 👍

Nice place and it was well attended. Service polite and attentive. Food was freshly prepared and delicious. The visit rounded off a lovely day.

Great atmosphere. Had salad with beef. Catastrophe! Rarely eaten such bad dry fried beef.

Wir saßen draußen. Leider wurden wir nach 15 Minuten Warten nicht bedient. Das Pärchen nach uns hat prompt alles bekommen. Hatten wohl den besseren Platz. Selbst als wir die eine Bedienung fragten, ob wir auch bestellen könnten, sie sagt ihrer Kollegin bescheid. Leider kam niemand. Wir sind gegangen, kommen auch nicht so schnell wieder.

Nice place to while away the day.

Beautiful area, you can go for a great walk there. The boathouse has a great terrace. I ate a waffle with hot cherries and vanilla ice cream, it tasted great.

We reserved a table for 6 people at 6:30 p.m. When we arrived, there were decorations everywhere in the entrance area and empty drink crates on the bar stools. We were greeted and then given the only table for 6 people at the door to the terrace. Cigarette smoke was constantly wafting in there. We ordered drinks, they came quickly and were delicious. The meal took a while, but you're happy to wait for good food. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. The goulash soup was good, but the pumpkin cream soup was a complete failure. The burger buns were almost burnt, as was the turkey schnitzel under the fried egg. The pinsa had a dip on the edge, no more in the middle, there was only salad and salmon, but there was plenty of it. But it was very dry then. We also had baked potatoes with sour cream, which were very tasty. Unfortunately, there was constant decoration around us, cutlery was stowed away loudly, the light was very bright, so that the calm, cozy atmosphere that you would want when you go out to eat could not be created. Then we would have liked to have had waffles, but unfortunately they weren't available anymore, too late. The ice cream sundaes were large, but in the fruit sundae the fruit still had its peel. We had our dog with us and it was looked after very well. The ladies and gentleman in service were also very friendly. But all in all it was a disappointing visit to the boathouse this time. Our children have been there several times and are very satisfied. Unfortunately not us this evening.

Nice, large restaurant right on the Biggesee Reservation is an advantage here The food was delicious, but the pepper cream schnitzel sauce lacked a little pepper Staff was attentive, a bit unpleasant at times

The food was super tasty and the price-performance ratio is excellent. The service was super friendly and very attentive. The location is of course excellent!

Good service, nice location, food was rather mediocre (schnitzel).

As always, a great visit. The location with a view of the Bigge is always a highlight. The hamburgers were delicious.

Great restaurant with a beautiful beer garden and lake view. The food is great. We will come back.

I ate an ice cream sundae, nut, there, it didn't look that good, but it tasted good.

Sunday lunchtime: There wasn't much going on, but it still took a long time to get our drinks. Our meal of classic and Italian tarte flambée only came after 25 minutes. My classic tarte flambée was ice cold and my husband's was no better. The second drink took over 15 minutes. Tables were not cleared even though there were already enough wasps everywhere. Mam asked me to make another tarte flambée, but I told the waitress that everything here was taking so long and we didn't have any more time. He was then taken off the bill. Which was very nice. Conclusion: You don't go out to eat openly, but with a disaster like this, thank you, I don't need that. My money is a waste!!!

After 20 minutes the waitress came and got the menu. Then we had to wait longer until she took the order. The women's drinks were brought 5 minutes later and my beer didn't come at all. After another half hour I left. You don't have to have something like that. Not good service.

Nice location, no question, but unfortunately that's it... Service is always helpful and friendly, but otherwise it's a small to medium-sized disaster here... Nobody in service knows what's going on, different statements from the employees, totally overwhelmed because definitely not enough!!! We waited a long time for drinks, ordered food, it came after 20 minutes but it took another 10 minutes until we got cutlery. Of course the food was cold... Always the excuse “You see what’s going on”! The empty plates were in front of us for half an hour...no one felt responsible for clearing them away. No question, there was a lot going on, but it definitely shouldn't end in chaos... It was our last visit, which is a shame because the location is really unbeatable!

The ambience in the boathouse is unbeatable. Unfortunately the service last night could not be improved. We waited a long time for our first drinks and food. The drink order with the meal took even longer to arrive and was incorrect. The repeat orders never arrived at all. There were 5 people in service, but only one man behind the counter. That was a real shame. As the evening progressed, the bar became more and more full of empty glasses. Pouring and washing up for one person alone is really difficult. I don't blame anyone for that either. Unfortunately there is no staff. :( Nevertheless, we would have liked to drink more... The food was delicious - a children's menu would be great. There is a play area for children. 👍🏼

Great location, right on the Bigge. Ate delicious pinsa. The service was very friendly and attentive

Nice restaurant right on the Biggesee. Good food from breakfast to dinner

Very friendly service, who also helped out at short notice with an umbrella ☂️☺️

The food was very good back then, recently we only went pedal boating, the boats are all in bad condition

Super nice service and great food

The atmosphere at the lake is really beautiful!! Now for the BUT; There were three of us and it was very interesting. The service was friendly, but only a little trained in the smallest way. Getting the drinks was a bit difficult (3 people) and at the same time it wasn't possible to order the food. Okay then this separately later! I really enjoy cooking in my private life, but I would never describe myself as a chef... But what came to the table... was Metro brand canned food - warmed up! My advice - go there, drink wine, cocktail or something similar and enjoy the atmosphere. Complete !!!

The food was okay, as was the ambience on the terrace. But if you take the time before the waitress deigns to take an order for food when you could have bought and prepared the food yourself, something is going wrong.

Staff very friendly! Food totally overpriced for the quality and quantity. Currywurst with a few fries over €10 Firstly, it wasn't fresh sausage but pre-made stuff and secondly, it was just lukewarm. We won't go there again, even though it's nice around there.

We are more than disappointed! We wanted to drink coffee and eat cake at around 4 p.m. on Saturday and were turned away in the most rude way, even though all the seats were free and the reservations were for 7 p.m. When I asked and remarked that we were only staying for an hour, the supposed manager took a step towards me with an arrogant, arrogant head gesture so that I could feel her breathing. I asked her to keep her distance while she explained that was the rule. We traveled a long way and are extremely disappointed because of the impertinent behavior! We have often been there unannounced in the evenings and will now never come back!

I have to say the quick service was impressive. Our drinks arrived less than a minute after we ordered, and the waffles were on our table within three minutes. Dinner also came after only ten to fifteen minutes, which was really quick. Unfortunately, we had several problems with the cleanliness of the glasses. The first beer glass had red lipstick on it, which we complained about and got a new glass. Later we received another beer glass with traces of lipstick and then also a Fanta with traces of lipstick. At the end we found lipstick marks again on a beer glass on the drinking rim. The handling of this situation could be improved. The service person apologized for the last incident, but after the second time we would definitely have expected more care to be taken to ensure that it didn't happen again. I observed that the glasses were being cleaned with a rinsing boy, which may have resulted in the inadequate cleaning. Overall, the restaurant leaves the impression of a tourist spot with a good location, but the quality and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. There is definitely room for improvement.

It was always good, but anyone who now charges more for a glass of mineral water than for a glass of beer (mineral water 0.25l = €3.20; beer 0.25l = €3.00) has misunderstood something. The food has lost so much quality that you can no longer enjoy it. Sauces are out of the bucket, at least that's how they taste. Greetings from monosodium glutamate. I get heartburn after eating. Conclusion: Quality down, prices up. It's a shame about this beautiful location. I'm not coming back anymore.

A great atmosphere. Very appealing. The first visit was a 10 out of 10. It's a shame that the currywurst is a fried bockwurst. (but that's complaining at a high level) just not my cup of tea. The salads and tarts are a poem.

Cozy restaurant right on Lake Obersee with a wonderful view. There is a good selection of food and drinks. There is plenty of seating outside but also a spacious inside area.

Unfortunately I had to give one star. I was a guest with several people (12) on August 23rd, 2024. We wanted to eat something around 8 p.m. Announcement: there are no more fries, no rocket and no more onions. Ok, so more than half of the dishes were eliminated. It's incomprehensible to me why you don't just drive to Rewe or Aldi or have someone drive you to get supplies, but ok. So 11 people forego sales. Because I was very hungry, I ordered a tarte flambée anyway. This was charged in full, even though, as I said, the onions were missing. A €2 discount for the feeling would have been enough. I ordered an ICE chocolate and it came: warm. Complained, got another warm one, but with more ice in it. Missed the point. Quieter then a long face pulled because there was no tip. Didn't get a farewell greeting. You can't do more than ask nicely, but we definitely won't be coming here again.

It wasn't bad, but the food was missing ingredients. It was Friday and shops were still open. Staff very friendly, otherwise recommended.

Arrived spontaneously in great weather and got a table directly at the Bigge. Very friendly service and quick to act. The food was summer bowl and Greek farmer's salad. delicious . Overall, highly recommended.

Disaster - we won't be coming back. There was a massive shortage of staff. After 45 minutes, after clearly asking, we got the drink we ordered. After 1 hour and 15 minutes asked about the food we ordered, no answer, was it forgotten? The same situation occurred around us, guests were not served and got up again after 30 minutes. No drinks received. Happened on a Sunday evening at 6 p.m. when the place wasn't even crowded. We then moved to the extra sheet on the other side of the lake, where we were served more than courteously and were able to eat.

It's very nice here, very nice service and everything is very clean. The food was very tasty and tastefully prepared. We then went there again for breakfast, everything was great here too. I had the Italian breakfast, it was absolutely delicious.

The boathouse has a beautiful location directly on the Biggesee (which is unfortunately overgrown in this area) with indoor and outdoor dining. However, the menu is geared more towards young people with an affinity for fast food and not so much towards good, handmade, healthy traditional cuisine. It also took a very long time for the food to arrive. The furnishings inside are also getting a bit old. All in all, not a bad shop, but something needs to be done. No parking spaces directly at the restaurant. You have to walk from the swimming pool.

Snapshot from 8/18/24 We usually like to go to the boathouse, but today we don't recommend it. Although there are plenty of staff, they are completely overwhelmed by the situation, even though the store isn't really full. You wait more than 30 minutes for drinks, the food is lukewarm and several guests left because they weren't served. A (former?) employee who was there as a guest has obviously spoken to the boss on the phone and is now standing behind the counter herself. Since then things have gotten better, at least with the drinks. A not really satisfactory visit and hopefully just a snapshot!

I'm surprised at some of the reviews I was there with my family. In the evening everyone was invited to dinner and had something different to eat and drink, even for the children, outside of the menu. Everyone was very happy and we will come back.

Schöne Lage direkt am Vorstaubecken des Biggesees. Parkplätze am Hallenbad in rund 200 m Entfernung verfügbar. Service ist freundlich und flott. Flammkuchen mit Ruccola und Räucherlachs war sehr lecker. Immer einen Besuch wert!

We had breakfast here and it was very good! It all tastes very good. Friendly service too. And you sit there very quietly. For sure we will come back.

We had a long journey and were looking forward to a meal in a beautiful atmosphere, as advertised on Google. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed at 9 p.m., even though Google said “open until 10:30 p.m.” The minimum customer-oriented behavior would have been to draw our attention to two restaurants in the area or to call them quickly to see whether the kitchens were still open. Or even a helpful reaction: oh sorry, then we have to note in Google what time the kitchen is open until. “Thinking, empathizing, being close to the guest” that would have been a nice experience.

We visited the boathouse at Biggesee on a Saturday. It was quite crowded - it was difficult to get a seat outside, but we were still lucky. The atmosphere right on the lake is great! For me personally, the food had more of a snack character, and the price was okay too.. I would probably go again but with a different expectation..

Nice terrace, delicious food, friendly staff, prices ok. Would love to come back.

Great location with a great view. The food was really very tasty. The service took a little longer at times, but it was busy.

At first we sat for a long time before anyone even noticed us. Waiters are full of students. They're very friendly, but they're not professionals

Went there today with two children and despite a reasonable wait we simply weren't served. We were simply demonstratively ignored.

Great service, great location....the Biggekrüstchen unfortunately died twice...1x at the butcher and 1x in the kitchen...dry as a bone, excellent browning level!

We were at the kiosk and wanted to buy my daughter some ice cream. When we got to the kiosk the window was closed in our faces. The employee noticed that I greeted him. I then went to the boathouse and kindly asked the employee if it would be possible to get ice cream, as the colleague didn't want to serve us. I then got the answer that she had called the colleague and that she was currently busy. If I wanted a popsicle, I would have to wait at least 15 minutes. We've eaten at the boathouse several times, but that was really the last time. The service has also deteriorated so much that I can't really recommend it to anyone anymore. I have never experienced such unfriendliness in a restaurant. I'm glad that the extra sheet opened opposite. At least you will receive friendly and quick service.

I ordered fried fish and when it came I was shocked. Portioned fried fish from the frozen food, the fries that came with it were mostly 1cm long. My wife ordered a chicken burger, which came... Breaded frozen chicken on a burger. Sorry, it doesn't work at all. The staff was great and the view was great, but the food was heavy on my stomach.... You'll never see me there again.

The whole thing definitely depends on the location. The steak was really good, but the fried fish was frozen form fish. The staff was hopelessly overwhelmed. A waitress rolled her eyes several times as she walked away when customers had extra requests. We were offered 2x drinks from another table, then 1x foreign food, and finally one of our drinks was faulty. When we billed, the amount seemed higher than we had previously thought. After we asked to see the receipt, it turned out that an entire dish also ended up on our receipt. We were then paid out the excess money without comment. As a customer, I would have expected at least an apology, as that really puts my trust as a guest to the test. Certainly nice as an excursion restaurant on the Biggesee, but with significant drawbacks in the B grade.

Very nice atmosphere, just with the view of the Bigge. The selection of food may not be the largest, but it is completely sufficient and tasty. Since there are a lot of guests when the weather is nice, you sometimes have to be lucky to get a spot if you want to drop by spontaneously after a walk.

The service still has room for improvement.

Location beautiful. Service OK. The food was ours (special birthday), mediocre convenience. We were very disappointed, especially since it was otherwise a nice evening.

We first played mini golf and then ate in the boathouse. Well-kept area with some shaded areas and benches. There are 15 lanes and you pay €4.50 as an adult and €3 for children. The restaurant serves very tasty food and we didn't have to wait long for drinks and burgers. The portion size is good. The service staff are very friendly. Great view of the lake. Would love to come back.

Have a nice evening drink by the lake, then you've come to the right place

We wanted to have breakfast and were at the boathouse at 11:35 a.m. We were told that breakfast is only available until 11:30 a.m. But on the Internet it is stated until 12 p.m. When we asked repeatedly, we were told there were no more rolls, even though everyone else around us was still getting breakfast. Maybe it was because we were there with the voucher book...

Never had anything like this in the boathouse!!! We sat for 33 minutes and waited for the waitress to come to us, unfortunately in vain. When I got up and asked the waitress how long we would have to wait, she said that no one was being served in the lower area. I then asked, how can we not be told? Is it normal? The only answer I got was, that's just how it was 🤮🤮🤮 I also told them that I have a pregnant wife and we've been waiting for a while and she needs to drink something. Nevertheless, they said, no, we won't help ourselves. Just disgusting, zero understanding for such a service. Zero humanity!!! Never again!!

Perfect experience. Very nice atmosphere with a view of the water. Active and attentive service, there is always an attentive contact person. Tasty and inexpensive.

Delicious food, friendly staff, great view of the Bigge! Beforehand you can play a round of mini golf or go pedal boating. We had a lovely evening there.

Great atmosphere, the staff 5 full stars 🌟. Food is very good and fresh, greetings to the chef. Prices are very reasonable. I can only recommend it.

Top location on the terrace with lake view. Unfortunately, the salad was probably a ready-made mix with dressing on top. Crust with fries was good, a bit greasy.

Super nice staff. The food is very attractively prepared and tastes incredibly good. From cakes, ice cream, waffles... to top hot dishes you can get everything. Drinks and food are brought to the table very quickly.. Delicious chilled beer.... The view of the lake and the great outdoor area where you can sit are great, you can stay there for hours. Child friendly. Dogs are also welcome and water is immediately offered for them. We have been here several times and always enjoy coming back.

New employees. Things are looking up. Steven will fix it. Food and location great.

Very friendly staff and very tasty.👍

Everything tasted very tasty. The place by the lake is very beautiful.

The food was very expensive, but mostly delicious, you just pay for the location and the view. They can't do fries at all. They were so hard you couldn't eat them with a fork. The service was initially nice and super fast. In the end a mistake was made in the billing and I had to pay for a more expensive dish to someone else I don't know who was already gone at the time. That's what I said too. Mistakes happen, but I find it impossible that guests have to iron them out because "otherwise the checkout won't be right." It wasn't a lot of money and it's not about money, but it's quite an impudence to naturally ask guests to pay more!! So the restaurant remains a bad memory and I definitely won't come back again.

Very courteous and attentive service, the portions were generous and tasty and the atmosphere was also very appealing.

The boathouse is beautifully located and the service was friendly... Unfortunately that was it. The price-performance ratio for the food is underground. We ordered 2x schnitzels, both of which were fried and very dry. The sauce also tasted like ready-made packets. An alternative to the fries is always charged extra - would like rice. There was also a salad dish. The salad for all dishes was mostly straight from the bag (partially typical brown edges), which was confirmed to us when we asked. The bread also tasted old! Charging 16 euros for this is an absolute no-go! The first and last time.

Been here for the breakfast buffet. Very high quality food was offered here. Everything is freshly prepared and very tasty. The view from the terrace is very nice. Service and staff very friendly and accommodating

Delicious food, you sit beautifully right by the lake, holiday feeling. We'd love to come back.

Friendly staff Attractive atmosphere

Sehr schöne Location, wunderschöner Blick auf die Bigge. Das Personal war freundlich, allerdings wurden unsere Sonderwünsche leider nicht berücksichtigt, bzw. erst nach Reklamation. Das Essen war teilweise lecker und gut (Pinsa, Salat mit Ziegenkäse) teilweise lieblos und mit einfachsten Zutaten zusammengestellt (beim veganen Burger ausser dem Patty nichts drauf ausser Sauce, keine Tomate, keine Gurke oder Zwiebel), und insgesamt war darum das Essen überteuert, vor allem die vegane Bowl (knapp 16 € , die Menge eher klein und die Hauptbestandteile waren Reis, Mais und ein Bratling). Was uns überhaupt nicht geschmeckt hat, waren die hausgemachten Limonaden. Wir hatten 3 verschiedene (Himbeer, Melone, Kirsche). Die Geschmacksträger waren keine Säfte oder frisches Obst, sondern Sirupe, ( mit Sprudel versetzt) von denen jeweils viel zu viel in die Gläser gegeben wurde. Es schmeckte nur süß und sehr künstlich- leider widerlich. Wir haben es der Bedienung gesagt- die dann meinte, es wäre Geschmacksache, was sicherlich auch stimmt. Für uns galt jedoch, dass es die schlechteste Limonade war, die wir je getrunken haben.

Nice restaurant with a view of the lake. Nice service, good food and cakes at a fair price. The waffles are particularly recommended.

Very nicely located on the Biggesee

Delicious breakfast buffet with a direct view of the water… we really like being there

A beautiful location! Seating options with a view of the water are available! ☀️

Good experience. We were in the "winter garden", right on the water. Very nice view of the Bigge including all kinds of animals. We ordered different types of waffles and apple pie. Everything was very well done and tasty. My latte macchiato was even available without lactose. The service was very friendly and quick. What more could you want??!! Gladly again.

Absolute recommendation! Both the food and the entire service were very impressive!

Nette Bedienung, tolle Location! Trotz hoher Besucherzahl(1.Mai), waren alle sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben nur ein Erfrischungsgetränk zu uns genommen. Die Gerichte sahen aber sehr lecker aus.

Nice breakfast buffet on Sundays and public holidays

Simply delicious and very beautiful there :)

Was there on a beautiful Monday with my bike. After almost 40km I wanted to treat myself to a quiet break with a beautiful view of the Bigge. You've come to the right place at the boathouse. I ordered a shandy with a burger, after 3 minutes the shandy was there and after 10 the burger was there. Despite the high number of visitors, getting the food so quickly is a good achievement. The staff was extremely nice and tried very hard to keep the places clean both inside and outside. The only thing I might point out would be perhaps a bike parking space close to the seating area. But in my opinion it's not a big drawback. In terms of price, we are within a good range, around 10€ for a burger and under 5€ for a shandy, unfortunately I can't remember the exact price. Conclusion: Great store, with a beautiful view!

Very nice terrace at Biggesee. The waitresses were all nice, the food was good.

Schöne Lage direkt am Olper Obersee, Vorstaubecken der Biggetalsperre. Viele Außensitzplätze mit klassischer Biergarten-Bestuhlung. Service war wie immer freundlich und auf Zack, da gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Wer Essen möchte: Uneingeschränkt empfehlen kann ich die Pinsa mit Landschinken, sehr lecker, guter Teig, gute Tomatensauce und qualitativ guter Schinken. Fazit: bei gutem Wetter immer einen Besuch wert!

Exorbitanter Preis für Waffeln mit heißen Kirschen und Sahne : 7,20 € Vor Ort , Online Speisekarte sagt 5,00€ Zum Bezahlen bedarf es drei Aufforderungen an die Kellnerin die die Gewalt über das Kartenlesegerät hatte.

Der Salat mit dem Ziegenkäse war ungenießbar, statt Honigsoße wurde ohne Erklärung eine Joghurtsoße serviert. Die Qualität hat sehr nachgelassen. Schade.
