Bootshaus Gießen in Gießen

Ordered schnitzel with asparagus - - > hair on it Side salad for the schnitzel - -> spider in it Sorry, but that doesn't work at all. In addition, there wasn't even an apology when I pointed it out to the waitress. I left without a tip and probably won't be back anytime soon.

Wir waren mit 2 Personen am 1. Mai dort. Die Lage des Lokals ist sehr schön direkt an der Lahn gelegen. Wir saßen auf der Terrasse. Die Auswahl an Essen war mit Schnitzel, Burger und Salate klein und überschaubar - es war eben eine sehr kleine Essenskarte. Allerdings waren dafür die Preise doch extrem hoch, speziell auch für Getränke. Die Qualität der verspeisten Burgers und Salate war ok, aber zu dem Preis auch kein Highlight und auch von den Portionen her nicht besonders üppig. Der Service war leider grottenschlecht. Keiner der Kellner und Kellnerinnen fühlte sich richtig zuständig und die Servicekräfte insgesamt waren total überfordert und teilweise mit sich selbst oft beschäftigt und unfreundlich, obwohl die Außenterrasse nicht mal voll besetzt war. Die Getränke und das Essen hat ewig gebraucht, bis es an den Tisch kam. Uns taten die Leute am Nebentisch sehr leid, diese wurden nach dem Platznehmen über eine Viertelstunde nicht bedient bzw. von den Servicekräften überhaupt nicht beachtet. Daraufhin von den Gästen angesprochen, fühlte sich niemand vom Service zuständig und die Gäste bekamen mehr oder weniger mitgeteilt, dass doch wieder gehen könnten. Das haben sie dann auch getan. Alles in allem war es für uns gerade noch so ok, aber einen Wiederbesuch wird es von uns nicht geben, auch keine Empfehlung dort hin zu gehen - Gute Lage, sehr schlechter Service, durchschnittliches Essen mit wenig Auswahlmöglichkeiten und sehr teuer!

Delicious and with a beautiful view

We were there with 2 people on May 1st. The location of the restaurant is very nice, directly on the Lahn. We sat on the terrace. The selection of food was small and manageable with schnitzel, burgers and salads - it was just a very small menu. However, the prices were extremely high, especially for drinks. The quality of the burgers and salads we ate was ok, but not a highlight for the price and the portions weren't particularly generous either. Unfortunately the service was terrible. None of the waiters and waitresses felt really responsible and the service staff as a whole were completely overwhelmed and sometimes often preoccupied and unfriendly, even though the outside terrace wasn't even fully occupied. The drinks and food took forever to come to the table. We felt very sorry for the people at the next table; after being seated, they weren't served for over a quarter of an hour or were not paid any attention at all by the service staff. When the guests then approached them, no one in service felt responsible and the guests were more or less told that they could leave again. That's what they did. All in all, it was just ok for us, but we won't be visiting again, nor will we recommend going there - good location, very bad service, average food with few choices and very expensive!

We had reserved a table outside, when we arrived they could only offer us one in the blazing sun. When asked whether the parasols could be opened, the answer was flippant: “They’re torn.” A proper catering establishment checks BEFORE the season whether everything is in order. And that includes the parasols. However, we took the place in the sun because we were hoping that it would be bearable once you get something to drink. However, after 15 minutes we still hadn't been served. When we asked when someone could come, the answer was "the colleague is coming down soon" - and no, the ladies didn't seem to be suffering from stress, they were constantly standing in one place and chatting. We spoke to the colleague who came down and she told us that she couldn't take an order because she didn't have anything with her. The colleague who is up there has to do that. This colleague was the nice lady who told us in a terribly nice tone (warning: irony!) that we had to wait for the other one. We then left, and when asked about the situation the only answer we got was “yes, then it’s okay”. We can't rate the food and drink because no one came to see us. 1km further there is the Marine Stuben, also beautifully located on the Lahn with the complete opposite of service staff. Very friendly, attentive, quick, accommodating. Simply perfect! Boathouse - definitely not again!

Wir haben das Lokal nach 15 min warten in der Sonne, nachdem sich keine Bedienung um uns gekümmert hat, verlassen. Es war weder übervoll, noch war wenig Personal da. Dies zog es vor im Schatten miteinander zu plaudern. Auf unsere Nachfrage, bei wem wir unsere Bestellung aufgeben könnten, gab es eine schnippische Antwort - und trotzdem fühlte sich niemand zuständig. Schade, schöne Location, die von unwilligem Personal geprägt ist.

Good food and nice ambience on the Lahn!

Wunderschöne Location, online Reservierung lief ohne Probleme. Die Drinks waren super, das Essen gut, allerdings hat auf meinem Salat eine Zutat gefehlt und ich hätte mir direkt Pfeffer und Salz Streuer auf dem Tisch gewünscht. Wir kommen aber auf jeden Fall wieder!

The location is wonderful, right on the water. The staff is very friendly. I personally find the chairs uncomfortable. And the food? Hmm, I would say average but relatively expensive.

The atmosphere is nice, the service staff are friendly but inattentive, unprofessional and overwhelmed. The food is of inferior quality, but absurdly overpriced

Were here on a Sunday last week and wanted to have a drink, unfortunately all the tables were reserved. When I asked if there was a table available, I said yes, if I ate something, it would only be in the self-service area. There was no friendly face from the staff.

The backdrop is always beautiful and relaxed. The food was always great and the service was always very friendly and warm. We come by regularly. The map is always fixed but it's actually nothing bad.

We actually know the boathouse completely differently. So far it has impressed with the terrace and a beautiful view of the Lahn. Last night the window front was covered in black by blinds so that there was no view. The drinks menu had a good selection of (white) wines, but they were totally overpriced. For example, a glass (0.2 l) of Lugana for €8.40 and the Vermentino for €12.90. We ordered a salad with grilled shrimp and vitello tonnato. The salad was soggy, the prawns were not grilled and also overpriced (€20.90). The Vitello Tonnato was an outrage. The meat was cut far too thick, gray and completely dry. The tuna sauce didn't contain any tuna, but was a sticky tartar sauce. The waitress was nice and tried hard, but explained this by saying that many guests don't like the sauce so fishy and offered to make a new sauce. At the end we received a cappuccino or a dessert on the house as compensation. Conclusion: We will no longer visit the boathouse.

Very nice, burgers and sodas very tasty! We'll be back!!

Best spot to enjoy the sunset 🔥

It was really tasty and it was really nice to sit there :)

Great location directly on the Lahn. Definitely worth a visit. Very nice hosts and delicious burgers. The cake for dessert was a hit. Good service...what more could you want? Highly recommended!!

I really have to say the food tasted great

A very lovely and relaxing restaurant with a great view and wonderful outside seating. Good selection of food with some traditional German choices. The burgers and housemade lemonades are very good. Can be very packed if there are any soccer games going on.

I was there, but our request for a table in the sun was unfortunately denied. So we left. I can't give a review. At least it looked nice.

Was really nice. The waitresses and waiters were very nice and welcoming. The food was also very nice, the portions were good and the price was very reasonable for the view and food you get.

We have been to the boathouse several times for a variety of occasions and have always been very satisfied. The owners are extremely accommodating, the staff are friendly, helpful, competent and special requests are happy to be fulfilled. The food corresponded to our wishes, alternatives were offered if something was not available. Price performance is always right. We would be happy to come back.

Wir waren schon mehrmals im Bootshaus zu den unterschiedlichsten Anlässen und waren immer sehr zufrieden. Die Eigentümer sind überaus entgegenkommend, das Personal freundlich, hilfsbereit, kompetent und Sonderwünsche werden gerne erfüllt. Das Essen entsprach unseren Wünschen, Alternativen werden angeboten sollte etwas nicht vorhanden sein. Preis Leistung stimmt immer. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

Beautiful view, pleasant and available staff. Good cooking.

Food is good, location is great, service can be improved

Very attentive staff despite being busy.

Unfortunately the service was absolutely terrible. The waiters were sometimes incredibly unfriendly, very annoyed and unable to take orders adequately. Things were missing from more than half of the dishes ordered (several side salads, grilled vegetables and even the shrimp on the fish platter, which only consists of 3 types of fish). Drink orders sometimes had to be placed 3-4 times before they came. When we were approached about the lack of side dishes, we were offered hot drinks to compensate. Since we didn't actually want hot drinks, but preferred a dessert, we asked if we could agree on this, but this was bluntly rejected. The circumstances were explained with new staff in the kitchen - sorry, but if you don't know the dishes on offer, you just have to look at the menu, especially given the high prices. For me there is no relationship between price and performance. In addition, on a Saturday lunchtime, some dishes that were on the menu were no longer offered because they were out (e.g. Jägerschnitzel, goulash soup).

We had our club's event organized by the boathouse and everything was to our complete satisfaction! Service, food, technology, ambience was top and we would do it again and again. Thanks!

Located directly on the Lahn. Good selection of food and drinks. Staff helpful. Own parking space

It is always a place to relax. The cake was delicious, the service was very friendly and the atmosphere was great.

Very good price/performance ratio. The food was tasty and the portions weren't too small. Service was very nice. It's beautifully located on the Lahn. When the weather is good you can sit outside on the terrace. Access to the road is a bit difficult to see. Street itself very narrow. However, there is a parking space available.

Food was very tasty, service was very accommodating, would be happy again

Most beautiful view in all of Giessen with a great atmosphere and very tasty food. Must be recommended.

Simply mega. The food, the atmosphere and the team. Always happy

Very good price-performance ratio!

We were there from work, everything was right from the service, food and ambience. I can only recommend it =)

The roulades were completely dried out and black on one side. The staff was super nice and hard working. The toilet is below every level ❗

Big greetings to Alex & Mariel from the service, you did well 👍

We booked a table for two people that evening. We were immediately assigned the “most beautiful table” as a couple and my schnitzel was made for me without breading. Very nice service. Gladly again

It was great as always. It was the first Christmas party this year and there were 9 of us. The food was fantastic for everyone, the service was extremely friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was cozy/modern. I just love coming back again and again, whether in summer or winter

Very nice atmosphere, but the price-performance ratio is too exaggerated. Service good. But I think the prices are too exaggerated.

My birthday party in this location and with this great service, again at any time. My guests and I enjoyed our time at the Gießen boathouse.

We had a celebration (approx. 40 people). Sat in the hall upstairs, with a great view of the Lahn. Everything was perfect! Every single guest was very satisfied with the overall package (ambience, view, food and service). Always my pleasure! Only recommended. The next celebration will take place there again.

Very nice restaurant, with delicious food.

Beautiful ambience, great food and super friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

We were there around 4 p.m. It was quite full because of the good weather. We each ordered Jägerschnitzel. The food took an average time. When the schnitzel came, we were surprised at first because instead of the fries that were on the menu there were potato slices that I didn't like The schnitzels were okay but not really good either, the sauce was a bit little. What I didn't like were the individually packaged mayonnaise and ketchup, which I just find unprofessional and honorable in the category of fries.... that's how I would classify the schnitzel too .lg Julian

Sensational view, Great drink selection!

Nice, courteous service, we felt comfortable

Especially beautiful in summer. Food quality is okay. Good service.

The place is cool. The water nearby makes a big difference. It's very easy to relax

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly service. The food was very tasty. Gladly again soon.

Das Reataurant liegt direkt an der Lahn und man hat einen schönen Ausblick. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich, sehr umsichtig aber nicht aufdringlich. Das Essen kam schnell und war lecker. Es ist keine große Speisenauswahl aber jeder findet etwas. Egal ob Fisch, Fleisch oder Vegatisch/Vegan.

Delicious food and nice cocktails!!😮‍💨 #TeamTheke🙏🏽

A very nice, modern restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff. The food was delicious, I had the boathouse burger. The menu is clear, vegetarian dishes are also on the menu. Not cheap, but still affordable. A dream in summer, right on the Lahn. We'd love to come back! Parking spaces are available.

Food was delicious, everything else was ok :-)

Here you can experience the complete enjoyment of Gießen and the Lahn. Fantastically beautiful location, plus a perfectly selected ambience from the restaurant. The food was close to perfect (we had the appetizer platter for 2, fish platter for 2, chocolate souffle with pistachio ice cream) and beautifully presented. Finally a restaurant where the pictures of the food match reality. Just awesome. Prices are completely okay. We were also recommended drinks to go with the meal, an Italian apero (non-alcoholic), that was amazing. And the big highlight is the homemade lemonade (see picture), which can be packed with Bionade or Coca-Cola etc. The service was also not standard, you were always spoken to at the right time. They always knew exactly when to be there and when not to be there. Not like in other restaurants, where you are spoken to with your mouth full or with your mouth on the glass. It was the perfect degree, not overpowering and not absent either. Even though you had a wedding party there today. Brutally good service! To round things off there was a very, very good Americano espresso (as an Italian I can judge that ;-)) Meanwhile, the rowing team went to the water, less than 2 meters away from us. What a feeling. So conclusion: As a Giessen mud-biter born in the 90s, I can only say, go there and experience it for yourself. Grade 1 with *

The food was very tasty and the staff was super friendly. The location is of course very nice directly on the Lahn.

A very nice evening with very friendly and attentive service. Thank you for the lovely hours and the flower on my table. You make me feel very comfortable 😊👍

Essensuper .nachtisch getraenke ect .der service system nicht gut organisiert dadurch entsteht unordnung wartezeit

A beautiful clubhouse on the Kahn. A young team does a good job in service and kitchen.

Reservierung mit Hund problemlos via Portal. Netter Empfang, toller Platz direkt an der Lahn. Aufmerksame Bedienung, schneller Service. Das Essen war richtig lecker. Vier Personen hatten alle unterschiedliche Gerichte. Alle sehr lecker und eher zu große Portionen. Von Hähnchenbrust über Burger und Salat bis zum Bellschuh geschmacklich top. Preis/Leistung passt daher auch. Tolle Atmosphäre auf der Terasse mit Aktivitäten auf der Lahn im Sommer. Parkplatz gut. Gerne wieder.

The waitresses were very friendly. The food was good 👍. Gladly again

Unfortunately we didn't enjoy it so much there. The breading on the calamari rings wasn't crispy at all, and the fries were barely seasoned. The bruschetta bread was totally wobbly and the tomatoes on it were ice cold. The noodles in the pasta dishes were too salty. Won't go there anymore.

Very nice location. The food is good as well as the drinks. Staff is nice and quick to provide drinks and food. However, the toilet is in need of renovation.

Nice outdoor area with very friendly service. And dog friendly too🙂

Locating and service good, food normal, prices 15-20% too high

It's a lovely place to sit outside on the Lahn in summer. It immediately gives you a holiday feeling.

Most beautiful view of the Lahn in Gießen. Nice team 🤗

Just awesome. Great team and beautiful view

Today I went to dinner at the boathouse in Giessen. The dish I chose was Bellschuh with roasted potatoes and onion sauce. The meatloaf with roasted potatoes and onion sauce was very good. Likewise the salad served with it. We sat outside with a clear view of the Lahn. The staff is very friendly and not intrusive. The prices for the food are a little more expensive but correspond to the large portions. What I find overpriced are the prices for drinks. A beer for 5.40 and a 0.2 liter. Soft drink for 3.30 is too expensive in my opinion. Therefore only 4 stars.

In wonderful summer weather, we were able to end our mother's birthday with a very delicious dinner. I personally had the curry bowl and loved it. Finally a dish full of vegetables. But the veggie and classic burgers, as well as the schnitzel and the cool fries were also very well received. The dishes were wonderfully presented. The service was top notch, fast and very nice and everything was handled with care. You can tell that people enjoy their job. The trimmings are also really great. The service gets a small deduction from me because I mentioned my birthday when making the reservation, but there was no congratulation and there were no candles or flowers on the table. It's the little things that make an evening perfect.

Great location. Located directly on the Lahn, you can sit indoors and outdoors. The food and drinks are standard. The service was very nice and attentive.

Very tasty burgers and fries. Great service and the ambience is great anyway. 😎

Beautiful location with a large, mostly covered outdoor area, located directly on the water... varied menu with vegetarian dishes among other things... Four of us decided to go there at short notice and were served quickly and nicely. The food was consistently delicious, the prices are rather cheap.... a clear recommendation to stop by and come back 👍😋

Simply a nice place to eat and drink and unwind for a while.

Unfortunately, only the wasps ensured that we didn't feel 100 percent comfortable. Here I would like appropriate precautions for the outdoor area. There are certainly enough devices on the market that could provide some relief. Otherwise, it is always a pleasure to stay in the boathouse in Giessen.

Very nice location directly on the Lahn. Food was very tasty and came quickly. The staff is very friendly.

The ambience and service were very good. The food was good. It is definitely worth it.

Very nice, right on the Lahn. Uncomplicated and very friendly service

Great location, delicious food and not overpriced

Very nice restaurant in a beautiful location directly on the Lahn. It's very nice to sit outside, we've never been inside, which is a destination we like to go to in spring and summer 😀 We found the service to be very attentive and friendly, the food came very quickly, but there wasn't much going on when we were there. Food very good. Vegetarian and gluten-free, like everywhere else, a bit difficult and limited, but here again praise goes to the service, who was able to provide competent information and responded in an uncomplicated manner ("no problem, I'll pass it on, we'll do it that way"). Prices aren't exactly cheap, but they're absolutely reasonable for what you get. Around €60 for 2 people with main courses, drinks and coffee (2024), which is what you have to expect if you want to eat well. Reasonable in terms of price-performance.

We were there for the second time. The location is nice, you sit right on the Lahn and there's enough space so it's not too crowded to linger there. We only ate fries with nuggets there, where unfortunately the fries arrived unseasoned for the second time & so I can't say much about the food yet. The employees are friendly in terms of speed, still a work in progress 😅 The location is quiet and away from the city

Very nice boat trip. Afterwards ate on site. Phenomenal bruschetta but the Viennese style schnitzel... well, it could definitely be better and, above all, more tender. Otherwise good service

Wir hatten dort eine große Feier. Tolles Restaurant, tolle Location, großartiges Essen und sehr umsichtiger, freundlicher Service!

Sat in the beer garden and had a great evening! The guys in the kiosk are very nice and the light is on tap. Also a great place to watch the European Championship games 👍🏼👍🏼

Beautiful place on the Lahn, relaxed guests, summer feeling included. Service was good, food was top. We had a burger and the curry bowl (rice not overcooked, vegetables crispy, spicy but not too spicy, food warm)

Atmosphere was good, but unfortunately the food wasn't. If you want to have a nice night out, this is the wrong place for you. Recession here refers to the schnitzel. Addendum: I gave the boathouse another chance and this time I was surprised with even worse food. The minced steak (Hessian version) is also not recommended. I have to say it was the worst I've ever had.

Sehr schöne Athmosphäre mit gutem und schnellem Service, allerding mit schlechtem Preis / Leistungsverhältnis, da die Portionen deutlich zu klein und die Preise im oberen Bereich. Eher nicht empfehlenswert!

Closed company on June 15, 2024, but registered here as open.

Awesome food, excellent place and great service.

I invited my wife to the boathouse for their 20th wedding anniversary. We were ceremoniously welcomed and pampered. All of the staff were very nice and accommodating. Even my external flower order was received and brought to the table by the waitress. The food was very tasty and the wine was exquisite and served cool! An all-round great evening by the water!

Wir haben im Bootshaus den 40. Geburtstag meines Mannes gefeiert. Das Brunch war super, die Atmosphäre top und auch das Personal sehr gut. Das wird nicht die letzte Feier sein.

Very nice restaurant with very friendly staff. Great recommendations from the house. We'd love to come back

Very nice location on the Lahn. Always worth a visit when the weather is nice.

little respect for people. I came with my husband to drink coffee and beer. we sat down at the table. After 10 the waitress came and asked to leave, because in this restaurant you can sit if you order not only drinks but also food. She didn't apologize and asked us to leave. that is respectful. We will not come to this place again

Last time the asparagus was a bit firm, but so far everything has been super tasty. The ambience is simply great. You can really enjoy your food right on the Lahn. I always enjoy going there.

Nice employees and, above all, always present. The food is delicious, the location on the Lahn is beautiful

A really beautiful beer garden with a wonderful view of the Lahn. There were three of us and we shared the “Hessian tapas”. Since the bread was very dry and the little things served didn't excite us (which also led to the points being deducted), we found the burger and the shrimp pan very tasty. The service was very friendly. We will be back!

It's really nice to sit there and, especially in summer, right on the Lahn. Really great for a leisurely drink. But I didn't think the food was that good or fresh and it was too expensive.

What could be nicer than sitting on the Lahn and eating and drinking something good in the bright sunshine. You can not ask for more.
