Chausseehaus Zur Einnahme in Bad Liebenstein

Really good service, nice waiter, was up for some fun and a bit of mischief, nice

Fast, friendly, and attentive service. Very tasty food. Short wait times and good value for money. Highly recommended.

Very nice ambience... inside and outside...the service staff are very friendly and competent...food is delicious and the portions are plentiful

We went back after 13 years and, just like back then, were absolutely thrilled with the food. We each had a burger, and it was absolutely delicious. I would go back anytime. Three times five 🌟.

We were very satisfied. Everything tasted good. The service was very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

5 stars isn't really enough! A beautiful ambiance, very polite and friendly service, and the food! Highly recommended!

Nice place, good food, unfortunately it took a bit longer for a drink with the meal. Back today, September 3, 2025. Service was very attentive and friendly. The food was great.

This was our second visit because we enjoyed the food the first time. However, we waited a long 1.5 hours for our food. Unfortunately, the first experience repeated itself again. We were seated in an area with an unpleasant, peeping draft and waited another hour for the food to be served. Is the kitchen staff overwhelmed? What a shame! We won't be returning for a third visit.

Beautiful restaurant in the heart of Bad Liebenstein. Good food, clean kitchen, and clean restrooms. Everything is top-notch, and the service is very friendly.

I haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time. Stopping here and dining is absolutely worth it. Friendly staff, great service, and the food is simply divine. We'll definitely be back.

Good burger, fantastic selection of non-alcoholic spirits/drinks. Very pleasant and friendly service. I find the prices for side dishes, especially the sweet potato fries, to be too high.

The flank steak was well cooked, but cut incorrectly. It was cut with the grain instead of against it. This made it difficult to eat.

Delicious food. Nice outdoor seating.

A pleasant, good restaurant and café for food and drinks. Lovely ambiance, delicious food and drinks, and very friendly and prompt service. Highly recommended!

We had a nice evening here with a group and were glad they were able to make room for us. The food was okay, although the fries and ice cream were the best. The service was unfortunately a bit disorganized a few times, but it was nice and friendly. This was probably due to the number of people in the restaurant. I should order something I know next time, then everything will definitely taste good.

We live about 40 km from Bad Liebenstein and have often strolled past Altenstein Castle. This time we wanted to have a bite to eat in Bad Liebenstein and, after walking past several restaurants, luckily settled on this one. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the menu was varied. Our meal was very good and beautifully presented. We will definitely be back.

Beautifully landscaped outdoor area, with outdoor seating, some right by the flowing water. Very friendly service, and good cake and coffee.

Very nice ambience, but prices are steep

The prices were far too high for the portion sizes, and the food tasted only "okay." The meat, but only the meat, was good. The drink selection was good and very tasty. The staff was friendly, and the wait was perfectly reasonable. Due to the mediocre food and the tiny portions, I wouldn't recommend it!

We were in Bad Liebenstein over the weekend to explore the area. After a lovely motorcycle ride to Saalfeld, we were looking forward to our pre-booked table and delicious food. But no luck. We had to wait almost two hours for our food, which was lukewarm, and then we had to listen to some excuses about it being a family celebration and not being able to go any faster. So you have to host a private party and just forgo a few euros. Completely unacceptable from me 👎🏻👎🏻

Very good food, attentive host and a wonderful ambience by the small stream.

Well-maintained facilities with a very nice outdoor area. Friendly service. I can recommend it.

Went there to eat as usual. Unfortunately it's not what it used to be. My burger with double meat was supposed to be cooked medium, but the meat was cooked completely dry, which wasn't great. The rest of the burger was great. We waited a long time for the food, and after the meal we had to wait again for a server, only to get a crème brûlée that tasted of nothing. At least my wife's meal was great, but maybe it just wasn't the chef's day. To then have to wait again for a server so we can pay is a shame. The staff seem overwhelmed, even though it wasn't that busy on a Monday. For the money, I don't know if it's worth another visit.

The food was truly excellent – top-notch in taste and beautifully presented. Unfortunately, the rest left a lot to be desired. We were there with two children and had to wait 1.5 hours for our food. Other guests who arrived at the same time had long since finished, while we were still waiting. After asking, the children's plates arrived a little earlier, but our food continued to arrive late – without any apology or explanation. It seemed as if our table had simply been forgotten. In the end, we wanted to have a dish we hadn't finished packed up – for which we were charged extra, even though we had already tipped beforehand. That seemed petty and inappropriate after such an event. So…very good food, but the service was disappointing. Unfortunately, it left a bad taste in our mouths – a shame!

We had a delicious meal here. I highly recommend it.

I was very disappointed. My steak au four tasted very good, but I was already full before. This time, the price was just too high, and waiting over an hour for the food despite pre-ordering the day before is unacceptable. What a shame!!!! 😔

We spontaneously stopped by for dinner on Sunday. We easily got a lovely spot by the watercourse, the server was very nice, and the place was heavenly. They served dumplings with roulades. Unfortunately, we'd just come back from eating ice cream, and we only had room for a little something. I had bratwurst with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut, very tasty 😋. I highly recommend the water, which they serve in a carafe with various delicious ingredients. All in all, it was a very successful evening 👍

Very nice ambience Highly recommended

We were very satisfied. Unfortunately, we didn't have a reservation, but that wasn't a problem for the two of us. We quickly got a table and something to drink. The food was delicious and plentiful. I can only recommend it.

Very good restaurant with delicious food and friendly staff. Always happy to return

Top restaurant. Highly recommended.

The ambiance is excellent, and the service attentive (if slightly overwhelmed). The food would have been excellent, too, if a medium-rare beef fillet for around €42 hadn't come out of the kitchen after a nearly 1.5-hour wait, a gray, dry mess. The other steaks at the table were also a notch or two too cooked. They offered to redo it, but after such a long wait and a bedtime-ready child, there simply wasn't time. The alternative excuse (an espresso) is simply a joke given the price. A real shame—I really wanted to like this place.

Delicious homemade bratwurst. The food itself was excellent, and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Even though we had reservations, they quickly made a table for the two of us. Thank you.

Beautiful ambiance, cozy and chic inside and out. The food was excellent.

Pleasant restaurant with good food

Anyone looking for a quick, good meal in a cozy atmosphere should stop here. The varied dishes are deliciously prepared, served promptly, and the service is friendly. A stream and beautifully maintained grounds create a wonderful ambiance outside. The only thing I didn't like was the hollandaise sauce, which unfortunately came from a packet.

Very tasty food. Also great vegetarian dishes and a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Very friendly staff! Highly recommended 😊

Top food, great service. Lots of vegetarian options.

Sat for a very long time and waited for someone to bring the menu or take our order. In the end we got up and ate something at the Turkish restaurant next door.

The food was very good (best schnitzel in a long time) and the service was friendly and competent. Fish, pasta and pinsa were also very tasty.

The meal was great at a fair price in a great atmosphere.

I can only say positive things here. Whenever I was here, whether as a couple or with a larger group, it always went great. The food was very tasty and of good quality. The selection is also very nice. We were always treated very friendly and courteously, without it seeming old-fashioned or stubborn. Very contemporary. I can only recommend it! I would recommend reserving a table in advance.

Great food, great ambience, good service 👍👍👍👍

We were there for dinner with 3 children and were very friendly given a table without a reservation. The food was very good, really very good, from a varied and unusual menu, but there is something for everyone. The price is absolute t appropriate. Without the children we would have had a cocktail in the lounge area. All in all, a very nice experience, we would come back at any time. Thank you

Great restaurant, super delicious food and very friendly service. Everything was perfect 👍We'll be back!

I ordered bratwursts online. According to advertising, shipping with cold packs or dry ice. New shipping methods have been tried. I didn't find any dry ice or ice packs in the package. Also no insulation whatsoever. Just an open sheet of plastic. A lot of money for the garbage can. Never again.

Great service, very friendly. A place to stay. The dishes taste very good. Absolutely recommended.

We had a great evening at the Chausseehaus and loved the food, the service and the ambience. Thank you very much for that!❤️

I haven't eaten or drunk so well in a long time. The burger was really tasty and the beer was very tasty. You can really go there.

Long waiting time and unfortunately a little disappointment when the food came after 1 hour.

Excellent restaurant nestled in front of an artificial lake that conveys a tranquility that deserves to be enjoyed especially if accompanied by a good hamburger

Totally overpriced, 7 euros extra to switch to sweet potato fries, the normal ones weren't delivered, what a disgrace

Anyone who would like to eat something special. With a great ambience, this is the right place

A neat, very clean shop; somewhat expensive; Service quick and friendly; Food 1A. Still only 4 points. If you order a steak + side dishes for almost 50 EUR, you can (in my opinion) expect that you won't be charged another 3 EUR for a spoonful of herb butter. But it was on the menu. Otherwise: recommended.

Burger with sweet potato fries and 2 dips for almost 30 euros, a bit excessive

Highly recommended. Great quiet atmosphere and great service. The card leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. Even the unusual has its place there. Value for money also good! We'd love to come back!

The restaurant is great, the beef steaks are absolutely amazing, I was there twice last year and this year I was lucky again and wasn't disappointed either.

Rarely eaten so well. Had 7 different dishes and all were very good. Very friendly and forthcoming service. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty, very nice service. Requests for changes will also be addressed. We liked it very much.

Super nice service staff.food very good

The facility is nice, and given the prices the operator can easily afford it. You are given the card and when you order you hear: Burger... Not today... then a soup... already sold today... so we try a salad with nut dressing. Let's see if at least here the nut dressing is left out due to my allergy. Another restaurant where you are blinded by the good reviews. But in modern Germany it seems to be completely normal... As a tip for other interested parties: the doner kebab directly opposite always has an offer that is available, and you only pay €8-11 per portion, although prices here range from €23-35 (if it is available at all )

Very good food, top quality and very friendly staff. This restaurant is highly recommended.

Highly recommended 👍 very good food and great staff.

I travel around a lot for months, traveling all over Germany and a bit abroad. I have to be honest: it's incredibly tasty here, very good prices, the service is really nice and you don't have to wait long until you get something or want to order something new. Top 3 for me on my entire trip so far and really wonderful to feel good about.

Great service, delicious food and cozy atmosphere. Always worth a visit.

Delicious cuisine and 100% professional service. African Chicken Poetry👌. After eating, a bowl of warm water and lemon to wash your fingers 👍👏. One of the best restaurants I've been to. I recommend it 100%. Back after 2 years and delicious again. Venison stew poetry.

Always my pleasure! Good quality food from steak to pizza to Asian. Good selection of cocktails, beers, wine and sparkling wine. Large selection of ice cream and good coffee. Nice atmosphere and a beautifully landscaped beer garden outside.

Nice atmosphere, very friendly service, unfortunately only one monastery beer, but it was very tasty

Were there for lunch. Reservations are very important!!! Food was great! My personal recommendation is the "Chausseshaus steak" served in a small cast iron pan with grilled vegetables and dark pepper sauce. Very good quality of meat. In terms of price, it's totally okay. My wife had venison goulash with dumplings. Also very good, everything tender and well seasoned. I can also recommend dumplings as a Thuringian. Delicious! AND you have to try the iced tea!!!! Someone really thought about it! It's great, I've never seen it like that before. Class :-)

Very quick and friendly service. We were only there around 5 p.m. and wanted to have coffee, no problem.

Schnitzel mit Schupfnudeln laut Speisekarte 22,50€, wurde auf meinen Wunsch hin abgeändert auf Schnitzel mit Bommes und Spiegeleier, bis hierhin finde ich das sehr nett. Dann kam die Rechnung 30,40€. Das ist in meinen Augen Abzocke und hat nichts mit einem Mehraufwand für die Küche zu tun. 7,90€ für 2 Spiegeleier, wo lebt ihr denn.

Food very good, but waiting time for the food is quite long and the service seems overwhelmed and sometimes not qualified.

Great, everything done right! friendly, quick, tasty - clear recommendation!

Not the cheapest for the area - but only in the area - otherwise it's more affordable than expensive. The fillet here is really good

At the end of our birthday party, we registered for dinner at the Chausseehaus. We were given a very friendly welcome and a beautifully set table awaited us. The food were very tasty and plentiful. On behalf of my guests, I would like to THANK YOU again for the friendly service and the very pleasant atmosphere ❤️ We would love to come back ❤️

Unfriendly employees The food and service are incredibly bad I'm never going there again.

I was positively impressed! While passing through the "Hotel Sachsenruh (insiders know what that means)", it was my appetite for the evening that made me choose this location from what the area had to offer. You are seated and obviously not without reason, the place was full. I was greeted warmly and received a small TABLE FOR TWO and ordered coffee, water and wild goulash with dumplings. That was really tasty and the kitchen should get an award for it! The ambience was also right, as there was a cozy atmosphere despite the full house. Everything seemed very professional and well designed. As a former restaurateur, I am convinced that I give it the highest rating!!! Great

Very tasty food, I would love to come back

Highly recommended, the ambience, the food, the staff were all very good. Gladly again.

Hey guys, they have the best Thuringian dumplings you can imagine.

Since I waited twice and no one came, there are only two stars. Even though no one sat outside except me, no service.😕

Very nice location. Very friendly staff and very juicy burgers as well as top rump steaks. Very nice coffee and soda offerings

During my rehabilitation I was here several times in the evenings with dear friends. Great atmosphere, very nice, hard-working service and delicious cocktails.

Price-performance ratio doesn't fit. I enjoy eating out, but given their prices, I expect quality all around. So what I mean by that is that everything should be consistent. The service person was very disinterested and not friendly. Menus very sticky, as well as the table...toilet 🤮

We were there three times in one week and each time we were very happy, the waitresses were always friendly and the food was very good. Highly recommended

Very nice restaurant, located right on the lake. Very good menu. The food was super tasty. The service was very friendly. A place to come back to.

Waiter was a bit slow food was ok

Good location... a dream on the terrace.

The grilled sausage was very tasty, but the seat on the street was quite noisy due to the traffic

Big compliments to the kitchen, very, very tasty, fresh ingredients, just perfect. We would love to come back. Keep cooking like that. :)

Our visit to the Chausseehaus was a culinary experience in a class of its own. The Kaiserschmarren that we enjoyed was perfectly prepared - slightly crispy on the outside, wonderfully fluffy on the inside and with a subtle sweetness that was perfectly complemented by the fresh fruit garnish. Every portion was a treat that not only filled you up, but also caressed your soul. The beef fillet was another highlight. It was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy, and was accompanied by an excellent sauce that rounded off the taste experience. The side dish of crispy fried potatoes and the fresh salads harmonized perfectly with the main course and rounded off the meal. The service in the Chausseehaus was also excellent. The service was friendly, attentive and always made sure that we didn't lack anything. You felt completely comfortable and were able to enjoy the food to the fullest. We can highly recommend the Chausseehaus and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Great ambience, best service, absolutely delicious food. Five stars in every respect.

I wonder how you can cook fresh food when the menu is so extensive. There is something for every taste. Ambiance fits. Quite passable.

Were in the restaurant on New Year's Eve 23. We were offered a table to the left behind the entrance door upstairs with 4 people. Food came very quickly and was very good, but the place wasn't nice at all and it was very dragging so we couldn't stay for long satisfied

Celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary here today. From the reservation to the service to the food, we were simply thrilled. The service is friendly, courteous, thoughtful (children's meal served before our main course) and authentic. The food was first class, had rump steak, the wine, my new favorite red "" and the hospitality invites you to linger. We'll definitely be back. The only drawback - my husband didn't like the music at all 🙈😅😂.

We ordered takeaway there - unfortunately I have to say I was very disappointed. We know how to take it and have already eaten there. The takeaway food is much smaller in quantity than the normal plate portion of the same dish (approximately half). But of course the price remains the same. Everything was slapped into the packaging very carelessly, my fitness salad was more of a puree because it was so squashed. For the vegetarian dishes, the price/performance ratio is a disgrace. A portion of pasta with baked tomatoes and rocket costs €18.50!!! With a goods value of perhaps €2-3. I won't see the income in the future, the "Sen" a few meters away offers a completely different quality.

Very great restaurant. Nice and competent service. Great selection of food. Taste fantastic! Always my pleasure.

Very good service and extensive menu. Eating fried zander whole 😋

We recently had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. It was lovely to sit on the terrace, with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. The coffee we ordered was not just any cup, but a large, rich container that we could enjoy in peace. We also got a Wiener Apfelstrudel, which was fresh and full of flavor—highly recommended! What also stood out was the excellent service. The service was fast, friendly and very attentive. Even our dog was not forgotten and was immediately given a bowl of water, which we really appreciated. All in all a great experience, both for us and for our four-legged friend. This is definitely a place we would like to return to!

It's nice to sit outside here, but I couldn't tolerate my food. I probably chose the wrong thing.
