Brasserie zum Gambrinus Gießen in Gießen

I found it very loud. The food was filling, but it wasn't exactly a hoot.

Great restaurant, highly recommended

Overall great, were there for breakfast and dinner. Both without complaint. Next visit is already planned...

We really enjoy going there for burgers. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. The food has always been delicious; I highly recommend it at the moment. The Brussels sprout noodles are simply divine. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and always delicious. All in all, we enjoy going there. I do have one small criticism: they could pay a little more attention to cleanliness in the restrooms; that's not really the case in either the women's or the men's restrooms...

For less than €15, the breakfast buffet was of course okay, not outstanding, but sufficient and even included coffee. We had a table reserved for over 10 people several weeks ago and were relegated to the farthest corner right in front of the toilet with furniture thrown together, seating boxes with a greasy wall in the back, far too cramped. Luckily two of them couldn't come with us, we couldn't have sat down like that. It's a shame and very annoying and I definitely won't do it there again with several people. The dog was allowed to come along. I think it was almost completely full, so definitely make a reservation.

Rich map. Good quality of dishes. Friendly service.

The burgers and cocktails here are great. Very friendly service.

I dined in the brasserie for the second time and was disappointed again. The food is absolutely overpriced for what is on offer. I ordered a pizza for €16.90, which is anything but cheap - especially for a bar. I wasn't served a classic round pizza, but a long, drawn-out something that was reminiscent of a ship. The dough was far too thick and tasted chemical. It was obviously ready-made dough. I have been disappointed with culinary delights again and again and will now avoid this establishment.

The buffet breakfast in the morning is really delicious, and the cocktails in the evening too. The service is courteous and very friendly. I can highly recommend the location.

I really enjoy having breakfast there. The selection isn't that big and unfortunately it doesn't include cocoa, but it tastes very good.

Delicious food at affordable prices

It was very nice and the food was very tasty

I think the ability to put together your own burgers is brilliant. And it tastes good. You simply have to try the homemade lemonade. And service deserves 6 stars.

Very nice restaurant with good value for money in a pleasant atmosphere

Always very cozy there, food tastes very good. And very nice staff

Yesterday we had dinner here with 15 people. Everyone was very at peace. I can really recommend it. And we will come back too. Happy New Year and a Happy New Year.

Starting with the service...great. Fast and very friendly. Food...very good. Price/performance...fits. Ambiance is a matter of taste...I like it. All in all...again at any time. Thanks, see you next time.

We visited the Brasserie restaurant on December 19, 2024 as part of a birthday party. The ambience is well chosen and invites you to stay seated for longer. The delicious cocktails and homemade lemonades also contribute to this. Despite the guest room being very busy, the service was very accommodating and regularly asked if there was anything else that could be done. The speed at which the food and drinks were served is also a real positive. The food in general looks great and smells wonderful too. The burgers are highly recommended and it is also positive to say that the menu has many vegetarian/vegan dishes. I would call the salad dressing a small minus because it tasted too neutral for me personally. I also ordered a schnitzel as a chicken version. But I received a pork schnitzel. I would like to mention that this is really whining at a high level. The schnitzel was super tasty and you could add some seasoning to the salad. Overall, we can definitely recommend the brasserie and I'm sure we'll eat there again. To the brasserie team, please keep it up. 😊

Went there for dinner with colleagues, everything was perfect, I can recommend it 👍

We ordered there from a little further away, it was still delivered by Uber and the food arrived warm and fresh. Not a ready-made pulp but really good quality. Both the fries were hot and crunchy and all the Jägerschnitzel were incredibly tasty. There was also a great salad that was also very fresh, tasty and light. Always happy ☺️

Good overall experience at reasonable prices. The restaurant is definitely worth further visits to try out other dishes on the extensive menu.

We've been eating there off and on for 5 years and we're always thrilled

We have had Christmas parties/company dinners here several times. Everything was always okay😊

The breakfast buffet has a very good price-performance ratio

We were served very quickly and friendly. The food came quickly and was delicious. However, there was Harz cheese on the burger instead of Gorgonzola as described in the menu. Therefore only 4 stars for the food.

I've been to the Brasseri many times in the evening and have never been disappointed, but using the breakfast buffet for brunch is a real insider tip 😉 For €13.90 you get a decent selection of cold and warm dishes. The atmosphere and the armchairs are super comfortable, the staff is nice and you have a really pleasant time with friends.

Nice place, very good food and very attentive and good waitresses. English is a bit of a problem

Nice atmosphere and a very tasty and extensive breakfast.

Very tasty burgers, pizza and tarte flambée. Friendly team with understanding for special requests when ordering for the child. Thank you, I'd love to come back.

Super Service! Awesome Burgers and Soup Friendly staff Nice terrace

Here you can eat very tasty food and the service is very friendly

The burgers are amazing and the service is great too. Definitely going back. My only criticism: The dining room could be a little bit cleaner ;-)

Basically you can't say anything against the brasserie. My schnitzel was good, as were my wife and children's dishes. Plus point: No hidden costs (at many restaurants you have to buy side dishes such as fries or salad separately) and I find the option to choose between pork and poultry, burger buns or multigrain, normal or sweet potato fries for many dishes to be very customer-friendly! Oh yes, and the prices aren't as outrageous as in many other restaurants these days.

Good food, nice staff, unfortunately a bit of a train station feeling

Super delicious food, diverse selection and very pleasant for vegetarians/vegans! Fast service!!

Very quick food preparation. Nice staff. Room temperature at 20 degrees too cold, door was open despite cold weather and 0 guests outside.

We were there at lunchtime, not very busy. Food was good and plentiful. The service was very nice. The location is actually great, but a bit tired. We would still like to come back.

It's definitely not the last time I've been there!

I finally had breakfast again without regretting not staying home ;-) Breakfast buffet for 12,- including coffee, tea and multi- or orange juice as much as you want. There were boiled eggs and scrambled eggs with or without diced ham. There was a cheese, sausage/salami platter, tomato mozzarella, grilled, delicious vegetables (aubergine, peppers, zucchini, mushrooms) and small salmon wraps. There was also a platter of fresh fruit (honeydew melon, pineapple, pear, apricot - everything in perfect ripeness). There were also small meatballs, pasta and potato salad, olives, butter, jam, honey, Nutella and cornflakes/oatmeal. Oh yes and pancakes. Everything was very tasty and very well prepared. Great value for money and I hope it stays that way. I would really like to come back 😀. Service very friendly!

We used to enjoy going there, but haven't for a long time now. Today we were there for brunch and all four of us thought we had never seen such a bad breakfast buffet. The selection was totally underground. There were only water rolls or bread, no wholemeal bread, no grain rolls, croissants or anything like that. No cream cheese or a special spread, no oat milk, no (tap) water, there was only this simple jam from the small packages and only strawberry and apricot, even though we were there right from the start. There were also only about 5 packets of margarine, which we took to the table because otherwise there was only butter. The waitress with the glued-on eyelashes was rather unfriendly and snotty when we asked for a refill. The toilets were now really disgusting and looked more like ratty school toilets that no one really wanted to take care of anymore. I don't think we'll go there anymore.

Very tasty lemonade food very good service one a we felt very comfortable we were at this place more often

Everything perfect. Unfortunately, this is still very rare in the catering industry today.

Great food is definitely worth the money

We went there for lunch today with a larger group. Nice ambience. Very tasty food. Not a long wait. Just go and try it out. Eating is worth it. Next time we will try the breakfast buffet.

We love the salmon gambaretti with potatoes!

Great menu, everything delicious, large selection. Nice service, fair prices. Good crowd, lots of parking spaces. Really recommended.

Leider waren die Teller dreckig und das Besteck auch 🫤 Die Wurstwaren waren qualitativ eher vom Discounter!!! Der Service war hingegen sehr nett und die Brötchen lecker 😋

Very good wrap, nice staff and nice outside terrace. The only disadvantage is right on the street with a lot of traffic. Good value for money.

Whenever we visit our student son in Giessen, we go there. Nice atmosphere and very good and nice service. Food is good too. Schnitzel and burgers are recommended. Always my pleasure. Update 08/2024. The Hollywood Burger wsr mega. Everything as always

Nice location, attentive friendly service, would be happy again

I've been eating there for years and have always been satisfied, especially with the friendly staff.

We were passing through and discovered the Basserie, which is located directly on a street. We “just” had breakfast there. They offered a small but very nice buffet, with pancakes, salmon rolls, antipasti, yogurt, scrambled eggs, various salads, meatballs... The service was very courteous and prompt. The toilets were clean. The ambience is great. There are, of course, tables and chairs outside. However, there are also metal sofas that are well padded and comfortable. If we lived nearby or drove through Giessen again, this would be our first address for a restaurant visit

Everything was actually quite ok. - the schnitzel unfortunately seemed to be a ready-made schnitzel. That was too bad. The waitress was always thinking 2 tables away. Too bad too. Although there wasn't that much going on.

The food was better there too. It tastes bland, the burger meat is soft and has no bite. The casserole wasn't seasoned well either. Unfortunately, the service was also not very helpful. I had the impression that I was interrupting when I wanted to reorder. Sorry, but I don't have to go here again in the near future.

Conditions were very friendly and also quick. The food tasted good and was also appropriate for the price. We sat in the beer garden when the weather was nice.

Very!!! nice service. Food is okay, but not fresh. The deep fryer is often in use. The citizens have already eaten better. Nevertheless, you can stop by.

First of all, you have to say that not only do you have to wait forever for your order, but something is also constantly being forgotten, mixed up, tipped over or dropped on the way. Until you get something to drink on a hot summer day, you can often go into the house for 30 minutes after taking the order and the food is already half eaten before you get your drink. To eat: bland taste. Nothing special, just poor quality. Outside the entrance in a menu board there are cards that are so old that they theoretically show everything on the menu at half price. I can't explain why no one has noticed this yet. The brasserie used to be good, but the current condition is no longer recommended for me.

We were there for the first time on Saturday evening. As a starter we had the currently offered tapas plate for €14. In our opinion the price is not justified at all, on the plate there were a few slices of cucumber, a tomato, two small pieces of feta, a skewer with 5 shrimps, a small bowl of olives and 3 small slices of bread, with aioli. It tasted great but would have been worth half as much. The burgers for the main course were great, large burgers, great taste, the sauces and the side dish (for us wedges) were also plentiful, absolutely fine for €15-16 with a side dish. The ambience itself is old and sparse. Service was very friendly and the food and drinks were at the table super quickly. All in all a great restaurant, we would love to come back!

Food is delicious and comes. In addition, it is (important for today) very beautifully and photogenically arranged. The service is very friendly and open. Ambience is very nice and cozy. Perfect for meeting up with friends. For a quiet relaxed meal I found it a bit loud. (Hence 4/5)

Hello, we were there today for the breakfast buffet. Unfortunately, I have rarely seen such an ungodly breakfast. Very nice service, nice atmosphere but the food was catastrophic. As a vegetable, a huge bowl of olives??? Packaged bread. Canned fruit (except the honeydew melon) the honey in the aro pack carelessly next to the finished pancakes. Meatballs cold from the pack. So offering something like that to someone these days borders on desperation. This has nothing to do with being a student or anything like that. The coffee is thin water. I don't know what was going on in the brasserie today, but I don't recommend this place for the essentials, namely the food.

Everything was super tasty, balanced price/performance ratio. I felt comfortable.

Nice staff - food tasty and quick - dog allowed

Always satisfied so far. But on Saturday January 7th, 2017 the breakfast buffet was a disaster! The restaurant was full and the buffet was set up in the corner that was too small, as always! This is slowly but surely getting on my nerves. Waiting times to get coffee are at least 10-15 minutes. In any case, too long to eat hot coffee and scrambled eggs at the same time! Absolute impudence! There were sometimes 20-30 people in line at the buffet. For the future, the owner should think about setting up the buffet in a different place or, if there are such large crowds, perhaps a second place with a buffet. For our part, we won't do this to ourselves anymore if the placement of the buffet doesn't change! It's an imposition if you have to wait in line for 10-15 minutes or longer for a cup of coffee or an OJ!

Rude, brazen, insulting. There was once a 50's American diner in my hometown where the waitress was really rude just for fun and as part of the experience. My experience in the brasserie reminded me of this - only the service was really just rude and insulting. I was there with friends to celebrate my birthday and we had made reservations days in advance, so the waitress knew there was a group coming. The girls there were very rude and bold from the start, and very soon they became downright insulting. They stood behind us and complained before we even ordered food about how “sucky” it was that we were there. FYI, the rest of the store was empty and we were a very patient and polite group. The waitress was so rude and made our time there so unpleasant, every person in the group noticed it. So if you enjoy feeling uncomfortable and insulted, check this place out.

Delicious and varied food. Very nice staff 👍🏼

Good brunch breakfast, but nothing special.

Worst brunch I've ever had. Rolls only wheat rolls. Not a large selection of sausage or cheese. No yogurt or salmon, raw food very poor. Vegetable soup tasted like it came from a can. No recommendation.

When our food still wasn't delivered, we tried calling the restaurant to ask. Unfortunately the employee on the phone was extremely rude and blatantly lied to us? and even passive-aggressive. When the food finally arrived after over two hours, it was already cold and there was no apology or gesture of reparation. This restaurant is definitely not recommended.

Really unfriendly and passive aggressive waitress, but still good food

Burgers are great and perfect!!!!

The food was delicious and came to the table surprisingly quickly. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is cozy but at a busy intersection at the university clinic.

The food and service leave nothing to be desired. The steaks are highly recommended. There is nothing wrong with the ambience either. We'd love to come back.

Very nice restaurant, food very tasty and recommended. The service is also very attentive.

Super nice and helpful service. The food was very tasty and all special requests were taken into account. Unfortunately, the ambience is more illusion than reality. Menus are probably not cleaned every day. The children's chair was beyond disgusting... the toilets are past their prime and they aren't clean either. Unfortunately, the very good and friendly service cannot compensate for this. It's a shame the place has potential but the love is missing.

Very nice restaurant. Good food and nice service. Would love to come back

Service was super friendly and attentive, tarte flambée is recommended. Clean, attractive location, only the toilets could be a little better maintained.

Burgers and cocktails are great.

The service staff was very friendly, the food came very quickly and was very tasty. The steaks were cooked to perfection. Location highly recommended.

We were here with a larger group. The food came quickly and was very tasty and sufficient. The staff was friendly and quick.

It's very good in itself, but there's not enough choice and you have to be really hungry to make it worth it. But the scrambled eggs were really tasty!

The food was delicious and the service was very quick and friendly.

We can only agree with the increasing praise from the staff! We were served friendly and quickly, despite the restaurant being packed. Unfortunately, packed also meant quite loud. It was difficult to have a conversation. The food was rock solid. Fries good, burger could be improved.

We ordered two burgers today and took them home with us, as we often do there. The food is generally good in terms of taste and quality. When we got home we realized we had received the wrong order. It has happened occasionally in the past, but up until now we always accepted it as it usually worked without any problems. Today I called briefly to describe my problem and they promised me a call back shortly. We then received this, but they looked for the error on our part, saying that it had apparently been ordered incorrectly. We disagreed. Without any concession or service to the customer, we were refused to exchange the burgers. From my point of view, it's a shame, which means that two regular customers will probably have been lost.

The food was delicious, the service was attentive :-)

Cozy bistro for small and large appetites. Fast and friendly service, the food and drinks are great in terms of appearance and taste, and the price/performance ratio is also good.

We were here with a few people for late lunch on February 16th. We first asked whether there would still be something warm to eat, and we were kindly answered yes and we should find a place ourselves. We did this immediately and our orders were then kindly taken. The food was brought with a very short wait. The quality and portion size were really good. We all enjoyed it very much. We were also very satisfied with the service. We can highly recommend everything.

Are often for breakfast. Nice atmosphere and good selection. To recommend

Nice restaurant, good, inexpensive, generous portions, friendly service and cozy atmosphere. Gladly again!

Delicious food, great drinks, nice atmosphere and very friendly service. You're welcome to go there. The food is good, but sometimes mixed in terms of quality. Maybe it also depends on the number of guests. The only thing that is annoying are the screens that constantly show music videos that don't match the music being played. There is hardly a line of sight where something doesn't flicker in the corner of your eye.

Went there for breakfast. Basically everything was good and tasty. There was a lack of jam and a little selection of bread rolls.

Great, very tasty. Private & Business compliant

Super tasty breakfast and great service staff. We'd love to come back. Glg family from Elz.

I went there for a drink with my friend on January 14, 2024. Many thanks to the staff who helped me in and out of my wheelchair. Excellent!

Delicious cocktails 🍸 The wrap with steak was quite tasty but the steak strips were more than fried to death, tough and sometimes hard to chew. Ordered fried vegetables without peppers, but they were probably in the finished mixture when frying and were only partially picked out. Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and cream pulled it off again

Was there both in the morning for breakfast and in the evening for dinner. Both were great, especially the price-performance ratio was definitely right here. The waitresses are friendly and on the ball. The atmosphere is very nice anyway

15 minutes after arriving we were ignored by the waiter even though the shop was almost empty. We then left again.

Wir hatten reserviert und hatten das Gutscheinheft dabei. Es gab kurzfristig einen Termin und teilweise war noch die Weihnachtsdeko noch vorhanden. Das Personal war freundlich, die Wartezeit bis zum servieren des Essens war kurz. Die Portionen sind nicht klein und die Kosten sind nicht übertrieben. Das Essen hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Ich werde wiederkommen. Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden.

Es sollte ein super Frühstück werden. Ich war aber enttäuscht. Es war eher ein Supermarkt Frühstück.

Absolut grauenhafter Service trotz wenig Kundschaft, wir wurden heute Abend vollkommen ignoriert. Speisen lecker und Ambiente schön, Preis-Leistung in Ordnung. Trotzdem nie wieder.

Die Qualität des Essens ist eher reduziert. Scheinen mit vielen Fertigprodukten zu arbeiten. Getränke okay.
