Das Bootshaus - Restaurant Heidelberg in Heidelberg

It used to be great but the last time servers took very long to ask for drinks and give menus, the schnitzels were super dry and the fries were still cold on the inside

It was too cold to sit outside. Food selection rather limited. We reserved online and just managed to get a spot at the time we wanted. When we got there there were only two tables occupied. No particularly appealing dishes, more of a snack bar type. We were disappointed as we had seen this place advertised in a magazine.

Great service, delicious food, great value for money

Very friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere. The food was freshly prepared and tasted very tasty.

Super delicious food! Great staff! We would love to come back!

We were greeted warmly, after 10 minutes the drinks were there and our order was taken. After 40 minutes we were given a small bread basket with an excuse that it was taking so long "we have new kitchen staff". Well... after another 15 minutes we asked when the food would finally come. Finally after 2 minutes it was there. The taste was good, my companion was no longer so hungry due to the waiting time and asked that the rest be packed up to take away. We received a cappuccino on the house as “compensation” for the 1 hour waiting time, which we thought was ok. After paying, we wanted to take the packed food with us, but oops the waitress had forgotten it and the kitchen had thrown it away. We declined the offer to cook it again because we didn't want to wait that long again. “If we hadn’t already paid, we would have gotten a discount.” Too bad we had already paid. The conclusion for us is - the food is good, the waiting time is far too long, the process doesn't go smoothly. The restaurant wasn't so busy that we could have turned a blind eye to the waiting time.

With a view of the Neckar ~ good, tidy cuisine

I was there for two hours, but unfortunately I didn't get any food. After asking several times and being told that my order was the next one, I canceled it and left. I am very generous when it comes to waiting times, and in general I am very generous when it comes to mistakes, as I work in the catering industry myself. At least as a service you should seek communication and not ignore you for up to 1.5 hours and act as if nothing was happening. Even the drinks were then charged, which seemed to me to be the height of impoliteness. For me it's not about the money, but about the principle. There was no way I would have let my customers pay for the drinks - after they wasted time starving in the restaurant for two hours! - I would have rather given them a small compensation, for example in the form of a voucher, to encourage them to come again and to suggest that this evening was an isolated incident. but no. Everything was quickly swept under the rug, and something like customer loyalty is not a top priority at the boathouse. The food is definitely delicious, I was looking forward to the cheese spaetzle for a long time, which never arrived. The atmosphere is undoubtedly very nice, especially for the summer outside in front of the Neckar. The service staff was friendly, but very incompetent, inattentive and not courteous. we'll never come back.

Bad staff does not pay attention at all. Food was okay but took a very long time.

Dear team, I have been working in the catering industry for 8 years and have rarely experienced something like this. Unfortunately it was a complete disaster for you. We had to wait over 1.5 hours in a low-medium staffed establishment to receive the message, after repeated inquiries, that our table was the next order to be prepared. Not only was the long wait due to a large reservation, we also had to watch as other guests who ordered food much later received it beforehand. We really have a lot of understanding, but we can't explain it either. Unfortunately, it seemed to us as if our order had been forgotten. And even though we know that mistakes can happen in the catering industry, we would have liked you to have been a little more accommodating to us after a 2-hour stay without food. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.

Opening hours are wrong! I almost pooped my pants.

Opening times are incorrect. Went there for free. Colleague almost shit his pants

Lovely food (good sizes), good service and good schnitzel and beer; what more could one ask for?

The food was ok. The place is nice and the service was good. The washrooms were very smelly though.

Great meal with friends. I had schnitzel and for 5 euro more they doubled the portion. I had the double and it was massive. Was also the best schnitzel I ever had.

The portion was mega. Taste is very good. No more words 😀

Super tasty burger. Top beer 🍺! Very nice atmosphere and service. We would definitely like to come back!

Great location, super friendly and attentive service. Price performance is good.

Very tasty food and very friendly waiter and waitress! We can really recommend it. :)

Always very tasty, in summer the terrace is particularly beautiful.

Great restaurant, definitely worth a visit. The food (burgers and schnitzel eaten so far) is great! Very good quality and generous portions. The dessert was also excellent. The service is extremely friendly, the prices are fair and the overall package just fits. A visit here is definitely worth it.

Good food, good prices, especially for the lunch menu

Really friendly service and nice food.

In addition to the delicious food, I was particularly impressed by the ambience, which is lovingly and pleasantly designed? The service was also helpful and very friendly! I'd love to come back.

The food here is tasty, but relatively expensive, and the drinks are even more expensive (7 euros per water bottle). Atmosphere and view is fantastic

A nice restaurant in itself, but... Our group (JGA) wasn't exactly greeted enthusiastically and then we were given a loveless table in the aisle of the terrace despite having a reservation. The restaurant wasn't at full capacity, so it's incomprehensible why we weren't allowed to sit with a view of the Neckar. Before eating I specifically said that I have a severe allergy to citrus fruits and that nothing can come into my food or drinks. My meal of 1kg of prawns came full of lemon slices. I was correspondingly angry and the service didn't even bring me a shot as an apology. I am a restaurant specialist myself and have rarely experienced anything so bottomless.

Service, view and waiting time 09/10, food taste 7/10, prices for what you get 05/10, the bottom line is unfortunately not for Convinced a second visit.

I found a temporary restaurant and it was pretty good. I ordered schnitzel and it was delicious with the sauce. The salad that comes with the meal is also a rare vegetable. The beer is also delicious. The waiter is pretty nice and he will laugh after chatting for a while. .

Great location. Nice service. Food very tasty.

What a service! Table reserved, unfortunately there was a 20 minute delay, which I wanted to announce by phone in good time. Since no one was answering the phone, we drove there only to hear that the kitchen had closed 20 minutes later and we had been sent away. Absolutely underground! Never ever again!!

The staff was really very attentive, nice and helpful. The location is really nice and the food is really delicious. If we are in Heidelberg again we will definitely come back! Thanks for the great evening.

From the terrace of the boathouse you have a beautiful view of the Neckar. However, in between there is the busy federal highway 37, whose traffic is very loud. The daily meal was breaded chicken schnitzel with roasted potatoes. However, the breading of the schnitzel was quickly softened by the convenience sauce. The small side salad was served in a glass that was ON the plate IN the sauce - pretty unappetizing. The service was reserved, the price/performance ratio was just ok, but we won't be coming back.

I'm providing a review from a tourist's perspective. 8/23/24 €85 for 3 people. The "view?" Is the selling point for this place. Although it's a nice view of the river and town across the river, there's a busy street out in front. The food is close to inedible. The "Argentinian" steak €33.90 - ordered to medium rare was one of the toughest steaks I've ever had. It reminded me of Asado I had in Paraguay. It was meat that wouldn't breakdown no matter how much I chewed. It came with an order of fried potatoes and side salad. "Salad" €13.90 - the salad was not fresh. See photos Bacon-cheese-burger €21.90 - the patty was dry and reminiscent of cisco restaurant patty in the US. The burger came with fries and side salad. 2 beers - €? As a tourist, I definitely don't recommend the restaurant. I think it's more of a rowing club restaurant, where you can sit and eat out of convenience. The service was good. Standard european service.

Everything was fine, the food was delicious, intolerances were taken into account. Unfortunately we were sitting on the terrace and it started to rain, the umbrella didn't cover everything, but at 29° in the shade that doesn't matter 😉

Casual restaurant with a small menu, rather simple, hearty cuisine with lots of fries and burgers. Separated from the Neckar by the road (so not quite as nice as the internet photo). Good for a quick lunch or meeting after visiting the swimming pool. Rustic furnishings, friendly staff and most of them very quick.

With a small selection and mediocre taste, the prices are consistently at the highest acceptable price/performance limit. Example: €2 for a thin sauce with an equally thin pork schnitzel (21.90) or €4 for a small bowl of cooked cheese on top of the basic price. The ambience is, let's say, well.

Cenamos aquí ya que nos alojamos en Heidelberg por una noche. Nuestra camarera era tan amable y hablaba inglés fabuloso con nosotros. Las vistas al río son preciosas. La comida era preciosa y el servicio genial. La única razón por la que pusimos un 4 no 5 es que era un poco caro.

Ate very tasty there. Nice staff. What more could you want?!

It was hyped on a website as one of 10 insider tips in Heidelberg. Typical German food. Well, everything was OK. But the food there is neither typically German nor is the location pleasant. Right on the main road, rowers' training hut, in need of some renovation. Food quality OK but no more. But the service was very friendly and helpful

To get to the Bootshaus restaurant, you have to go to Schurmannstrasse and walk into the restaurant at a parking lot that is next to a playground. You cannot enter the rowing club from the B37 Iqbal-Ufer Anyway, the food was fantastic. We ordered a cooked cheese schnitzel and a Texas bacon burger. The schnitzel was very fresh and the burher was very juicy. However, the water is VERY expensive. €7 per 0.75 liters isn't a great deal. A parking space is available outside. The atmosphere is good. What really bothers me, however, is that you have to pay €4.50 for an extra plate called “Robber Plate”! That's impossible.

Very tasty, service really great

Very tasty, service really great

Great view and good food. Right by our hotel so easy to get too.

Big praise to the super friendly service, so friendly and their good mood was really contagious. There were 8 of us girls and we ate very deliciously.

I was there at a party and all I can say is a great location with friendly staff and good food...

Access refused on the pretext that there were only 2 of us... even though it was 8:30 p.m. and many tables were available.

Ambiance: - beautiful view of the Neckar - Shouting from the outdoor pool next door Staff: - not exactly hospitable Food - Crispy Chicken Burger & Bacon Cheese Burger: - Food came quickly after ordering - There is no positive relationship between price and performance - The patties tasted like frozen meat that was freshly fried or fried Conclusion: Burgers are not their specialty

It was not too easy to find the restaurant when approached from the Neckar side (back entrance). The terrace is great, I loved the view over Neckar. Food, wine, service were all great.

Its a nice place for lunch. Very friendly service.

Very slow and unfriendly service! Charged 9 Euros for two clean plates for small children. When I asked for another small plate for our younger child so she has a clean plate, the waitress said nothing about the extra cost… cold face the whole time. The child had to wait quite long to get her plate after all dishes were served… totally ridiculous!

Service top, ambience good, food good. I think the prices are a bit excessive. Unfortunately it was a unique experience.

The atmosphere is better than the food itself but it's still worth to visit it. Prices are high for both food and drinks.

Actually you should be able to give minus stars. The menu is very small, hardly any selection. When I asked if there was another card, I was very rudely answered, THAT'S THE CARD! Price performance completely excessive. Quality of the burgers no different than our local kebab shop and then you pay over 20 euros for it. The service was unfriendly, you could tell she wasn't interested. At the end we were rudely asked by the waitress to give us a tip. Very unfortunate!

This is the worst restaurant I have ever experienced with unfriendly staff The citizen that costs 22 euros tastes exactly like the one from our kebab shop that costs 6 euros. The service staff is friendly and I've never experienced anything like that before Necker we were there with several people and the waitress and the people behind the bear were annoyed because there were so many people, I don't understand something like that and after paying they say what about a tip? So promising something like that is absolutely an impertinence the next time you visit .Heidelberg love a different restaurant than the Boothaus

Nice atmosphere and delicious food. Very friendly service

Quaint location and excellent hamburgers in US format with a beautiful view of the Neckar 🤗👍🤗😋

A very nice atmosphere. It was our first time there for dinner. Very good food, all kinds of food also suitable for vegetarians. There is a beautiful view of the Neckar on the terrace. Very friendly service. We will be back. The only negative thing was that one beer was overcharged, mistakes happen. Everything else was excellent, I highly recommend the restaurant.

You can sit outside with a view of the Neckar. The food is delicious. The staff was very friendly!!! Gladly again!!!!

Food was great, view was great and everyone was so nice and friendly. It’s a bit tricky to get there since you have to enter from the back but it’s worth it.

Very friendly staff, fresh and delicious food. I can highly recommend it

Very nice location, cozy table by the window with a view of the Neckar. The service was friendly and quite quick. The food....well....I expect a little more for the price. The burger was ok... nothing more but nothing less either. The patti is a little overdone and therefore very dry.

Very tasty food and the service was very accommodating!

When the weather is nice you can sit on the terrace with a view of the Neckar. Very nice and friendly staff.

Way too expensive! 73 euros for two meals and two drinks…

Very well located on the Neckar, great lunch

Friendly place with a view of the Neckar and the hills. Good and rich dishes with German specialties. The terrace is beautifully decorated and makes you want to stop there for lunch. A restaurant hidden in the houses but worth it!

Had a wonderful lunch here. The food was delicious and sitting outside was simply wonderful. Price/performance is definitely right. You get a decent amount for your money and you definitely won't be disappointed. Everything tasted great and I'll definitely be back. I can only recommend it.

Nice service, nice place, but the food was a bit overpriced. 21 euros for currywurst with fries is quite steep

Right on the Neckar, with a nice beer garden.

A very nice location in Heidelberg with lots of parking spaces, but these are subject to a charge. Very friendly service and a delicious menu with burgers and more. I will come back.

Good dinner and good currywurst. Service was friendly and quick. Located above an actual boathouse right on the river.

The location, the service and the food were very good. The price is also okay. We recommend

Very good cuisine. The schnitzels are exceptionally good! Although the prices have increased by more than 20%, which I cannot understand...

Very nice restaurant with regional food. In summer you can sit outside with a great view of the Neckar. The staff were friendly and attentive, all in all a great evening!

Super friendly service and very good quality of the food. Price-performance ratio very good. A little more could be done to the terrace and the roof. Gladly again, we felt comfortable!!!

To get this straight, the only unsatisfactory thing about my experience here was finding the right path or the entrance. We came from the Neckar and initially walked around the entire block without any sense of direction because you can only get to the restaurant entrance from the side facing away from the river. But once we got that behind us, the visit was characterized exclusively by positive experiences. The food was excellent and the prices were quite fair considering the current times. I can particularly emphasize the service. We were able to place our orders immediately (as soon as they were ready) and the waiting times were really pleasantly short. We still had a technical problem with the ordering system, which led to a delay - which was, in my opinion, bearable -, but we were still offered extra coffee/dessert on the house as "compensation" for this. There was generally a very pleasant atmosphere, including among the employees themselves, who were all very friendly and attentive. Thank you for the great experience! I definitely won't be here for the last time :D

We went to the boathouse today! Certainly a nice location! Unfortunately the food was extremely weak - there were 6 of us there and it was 5/6 not tasty! For the prices one would have generally expected a different quality of the dishes (burger = ready patti, “freshly caught” sea bream certainly not freshly caught, venison goulash warmed up). Maybe we had a bad day, but it's still a shame.

Cool restaurant with a great view from the terrace! The food is decent, the prices are reasonable and the service is very cool and attentive!

Beautifully located on the Neckar with a great view. A bit difficult to find - depending on which side you come from. Great service - there was also delicious cold beer. Food was served in a reasonable time - good portions and very tasty. It's a bit rustic inside - but has a lot of charm. Price-performance ratio is also right. I can only recommend

Schön gelegen am Neckar mit supi Aussicht. Bisschen schwierig zu finden - je nachdem von welcher Seite man kommt. Toller Service - lecker kühles Bier gab es auch. Essen wurde in angemessener Zeit serviert - gute Portionen und sehr lecker. Ist innen ein bisschen rustikal - aber hat ganz viel Charme. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auch. Kann ich nur empfehlen

We came to this restaurant very spontaneously and were extremely positively surprised! The food was first class and the service was also very, very friendly and relaxed. The atmosphere is extremely pleasant and you just feel very comfortable. Absolutely deserved 5 stars! Again and again :)

Very nicely and lovingly furnished. The toilet was very clean and the shop too. Service super friendly. Also very child friendly. The food was a 1 with stars. Fresh and very very tasty. The price is absolutely okay. Potential for a favorite restaurant.

We celebrated a family celebration in the boathouse. Indoors in February of course. Food (menu) was great! Celebrating outside is certainly great, with a view of the Neckar! Several parking spaces available.

Everything great. Outside in the summer is even better.

Very young, courteous staff. Currywurst was ok. But the good mood of the service staff was great

Really nice atmosphere, friendly staff and good food.

That's all well and good, but also quite expensive

Unfortunately, prices have risen sharply. The restaurant can't do anything about it.

Essen war gut, Service sehr gut, freundlich und zuvorkommend. Leider Akkustik nicht so doll, da viele Leute anwesend. Man bot uns anderen Tisch an, aber wir wollten eh gleich gehen.

Guter Service, Essen hat genau gepasst. Burger waren fast zu groß. Preis Leistung passt.

Ich war hier diese Woche zum Mittagstisch. Fazit: Preis-Leistungsverhältnis Top !! Es war sehr lecker wie es auf das Foto zu sehen ist und die Location einfach Top im Ruderverein und Sicht auf dem Neckar. Kann ich nur empfehlen!!

Schöne Lage am Neckar. Wir waren dort zum Mittagessen. Angenehme Atmosphäre.

Ein etwas versteckter Geheimtipp. 👍

Tolles Lokal und leckeres Essen

Great food and wine selection. The spatzle tastes homemade which is great!

Alles gut und lecker, gerne wieder

Wir waren am 13. Oktober 2023 dort. Saßen mit direktem Blick auf den Neckar. Sehr geil. Die Bedienungen und der Service waren sehr zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich. Die Essenportionen waren sehr groß. Reservierung empfohlen, da es sehr voll ist, was ein gutes Zeichen ist! Ich kann das Bootshaus nur empfehlen. Ich habe ein Schnitzel mit Kochkäse gegessen, das war mega und sehr viel. Ich war einfach nur papp satt. Und das für einen normalen Preis. Also hin ins Bootshaus! Ich habe bei anderen die Currywurst probiert. Ist echt zu empfehlen!

Wir waren für eine Nacht in Heidelberg und haben hier gegessen. Service sehr freundlich und schnell, obwohl sehr viele Amerikaner dort waren.

Nette Bedienung,lockere Atmosphäre,leckeres Essen 👍👍👍

Servings are more than enough for 1 person. Although they don't have an English menu, the staff was very gracious to offer to translate. I had the curry bratwurst and it was great!
