Die Knolle - Das Urige Kartoffelhaus Inh.Sertel&Wendlinger GbR in Herford

Service and ambience are very good for a Ratskeller. Unfortunately the food was very poor. Lots of frozen goods and sauce that drowns the schnitzel.

We had pre-ordered 17 dishes via email for a family gathering. This worked perfectly, the food was exactly as ordered and served very quickly. Everyone enjoyed it very much, the room was pleasant. The only thing that took a bit of time was paying because many guests wanted to pay at the same time. Update: we were there the other day and ordered the daily menu. It wasn't served exactly as ordered, waiting time 30! Minutes (about half the seats were occupied). Therefore 1 point deducted.

We have been to the potato house many times and it has always been great. The food is also really tasty and the portions are generous. We wanted to eat there with a group of 12 people. Due to the large number of people, we were told on the phone that it would be nice if we could choose dishes in advance so that we could plan better. Of course we were kind enough to do that. While we were there, one of us was out due to illness and we asked if we could cancel his meal. That wouldn't work and we still have to pay for it, we could eat it or take it with us. Please what?! We're so NICE and come to them for better planning and then we get screwed over it? That doesn't work at all and is really not customer friendly!! The shop was full and no place was empty, we were one of the first at half past six. Nobody can tell me that someone like that wouldn't have gotten rid of such a stupid salad at another table. I have worked in service for over 13 years and I think this is really a disgrace.

If you're looking for good home-style cuisine with portions that fill you up, you've come to the right place. We had the pan which you can only order for two people or more. This is really big but still delicious. Here you have to be a good eater and be hungry. Of course we did it.

Attractive and rustic location, food was very good, friendly service!

Highly recommended, excellent burger and good schnitzel. Good portions and the side salad was also great. However, it's better to reserve in advance ;)

Unfortunately, without a reservation, there is no table available for 3 people. If you want to eat spontaneously, you can't. She didn't even ask if we could come a little later.

A delicious lunch menu for little money. Fast friendly service. Always my pleasure. Also the amount to fill up

German cuisine with quality and well attended

We are there regularly. Is a rustic restaurant with German cuisine. Great food and nice staff.

We were there for lunch, Food was good and sufficient. Just the fries from the bag actually doesn't work for one at all Potato house. Schnitzel was good but was probably before serving kept warm and then came Warm and warm on our plate. At lunch you can ignore it, just be with it I would have official prices a word to the service lost about it.

Very nice atmosphere and great service. The food was also delicious. We had 5 different dishes and everyone enjoyed it

Delicious food, nice and kind service, great location, it's worth coming here! ;)

The rustic potato house describes this restaurant perfectly! You feel right at home when you come in! Totally cozy, excellent service and absolutely delicious food! Highly recommended! There is room for everyone, but it's best to make a reservation! Also suitable for groups! Parking spaces can be found in the immediate vicinity! Thumbs up 👍🏻we'll be back!!!!

For our Christmas party (85 people) in a separate room, very nice, tasty and good service!

Very good food. Price-performance fits perfectly here

Love stopping by this place on my travels through Germany. Wholesome food, lovely atmosphere, and great service. Highly recommend the Paprikarahm Schnitzel!

Rustic rooms and delicious food. There was a lot going on there before Christmas and you had to wait quite a long time for the food. The wait staff put a lot of effort into it.

It's really a disgrace to be treated so unkindly. There wasn't even an apology from the service staff. Food is okay… used to be better. Well, let's see how it goes Melle is better positioned! Too bad, too bad!!!! 4 years ago it was a great service here in Herford!!! Many people here are disappointed 💁🏻

We were there for dinner with a larger group. Everyone was extremely happy with their chosen dishes. The price-performance ratio is totally right.

A really nice restaurant with super nice staff. The food was very tasty. We would love to come back 😊

With 16 people. Food pre-ordered (everyone from the menu). Perfect timing. When the food came, everyone had their plate on the table within 2-3 minutes. The food was delicious, no one had anything to complain about. Perfect service, not intrusive, but always keeping an eye on the drinks.

This is my favorite, I can only recommend it for lunch or dinner

Great service and great food. Thanks to the Knolle team

Good selection of food, very tasty, good price-performance ratio, nice ambience, central location

Great food and plenty of it, you'll be full

Had a meal there spontaneously. Staff was very friendly. Restaurant filled up very quickly. But the staff never lost track. We had to wait a bit for the food, but everything was freshly prepared.

Before we went to Golden Ace in the theater in Herford we had reserved a table for 7 people. Great ambience, very attentive service and an extensive potato menu. We had seven different main courses and everything came at the same time and was very tasty. Thank you very much

Unfriendly service, especially a lady with a blonde pigtail and glasses...

Everything great. Except for the one blonde waitress with a short braid and glasses

It was almost impossible to reserve a table. No one answers the phone and you can only make a reservation online for lunch. Food great, service very nice.

Had a fantastic time here, the waitress was wonderful, happy, thoughtful, and kind. Hope to come back soon.

The St. Martin's goose was very good.

Not everyone's ordered food was brought to the table, but the order was on the bill. Waiting time between ordering and consumption was 1 hour.

Although the restaurant was very busy and therefore quite noisy, it is recommended. Service very nice and with humor. The food was very tasty.

We were visiting our daughter in Herford. She recommended the restaurant to us. We weren't disappointed. The food was great and the service was very nice. We'd love to come back.

Better than in Bünde or Melle. Somewhat long waiting times. Otherwise even worth 5 stars.

Great, tasty, rich food. Service is great.

Always consistently good - a must for us every time we visit Herford.

Great restaurant with specialty potato dishes.

The food was great and plenty had to take the rest with us

Quaint ambience! I ordered roast venison from the leg with red cabbage plus two potato dumplings with juniper sauce. Delicious! And the meat was wonderfully tender. We were served very quickly and attentively. This isn't the last time I've been here!!!! 😃

For a small lunch, now tried > 10 times. Very nice staff, food came quickly and hot. At around €9 plus drinks you can't complain. You can re-book with soup and dessert for only €2. On Fridays there are more visitors to the Pensioner Treff (are you still allowed to say that?)

Nice, quaint restaurant with friendly service

It was recommended to me by a German friend and I loved it. I recommend the schnitzel and Herfoder beer.

Unfortunately something happened that day. The city festival was to blame for that. I have eaten there several times and can recommend it.

Super nice stay! The service was great and the food tasted great as always Always happy to come back

Very nice service, Pens were brought straight away for our son and they also took good care of the "little man" when it came to his order... The food was very good and the portion was huge... So only recommended...

That was the worst thing I've experienced so far. The potato/salmon soup was oversalted, the grilled bacon just passed the grill and was limp, the steak was English even though it wasn't ordered that way, that was my meal. My wife's salmon was baked with cheese, not edible because it was too salty and the edge, well, they call it roasted flavors. I complained about the meat and got the same plate back with a fried piece of steak. Of course, the other dishes (meat and fried potatoes) were no longer hot but almost cold and as a small thank you they slammed this plate back to me very listlessly “the feet” to eat. Mistakes can always happen when it's busy, but the way my complaint was handled was terrible. Up to now we have always liked and enjoyed our food here, but that has really deteriorated drastically and is not acceptable. I also noted these points on site, but acknowledged them but did not apologize or anything like that. The evening cost me an annoying €64 and will probably be the last money I left here.

It was a nice evening. The food came quickly and was extremely tasty with really good portions and the whole thing was looked after by top service. Thanks for that! The only drawback is the toilet, which unfortunately smells unpleasant way before the toilet area.

Top! Price performance fits. Ambiance is great. Nice staff. Food is great! Always my pleasure

Highly recommended and comfortable.

If you like it, really rustic and cozy! Food is very good and tasty! Lunch is amazing in terms of price! With soup and dessert! Will definitely come back!

Beautifully located beer garden in the inner courtyard. The food was really great. Great service and delicious beer.

The spare ribs are incredibly tasty and the quantity for the price is unbeatable! The wedges are crispy and not too greasy. The waiting time was manageable and the service was very accommodating and friendly! Overall really tip top!!!

We were looking forward to a nice evening together and were unfortunately very disappointed. Four dishes were served with rotten meat, the stench was unbearable. How can you not notice something like that in the kitchen is incomprehensible to me. You'll never see us here again.

As always, very tasty, friendly and attentive staff.

Great food with a great ambience and fair prices. Reserved a table online, without any problems. Service 1a.

We went here for dinner with a group. 4 meat dishes we ordered (including 2 rump steaks) were bad, the meat was really “rotten”. The smell was unbearable and the taste of rotten meat lingers in your mouth for hours. Simply horrible. This is something a trained chef should be aware of before it is grilled and served.

Great restaurant. It's fun to come here.

A really great restaurant in the middle of the city. The service is great, friendly, nice. You can tell that the work is fun. The food, however, is excellent. Tasty as well as the portions. We'll be back.

Sehr enttäuscht…das Essen war nicht frisch..kam bereits nach 10 Minuten nach Bestellung…so hat es auch geschmeckt (aufgewärmt,Bratkartoffeln überkross ) Service war leider nicht vorhanden…keine Nachfrage nichts …Das Personal musste man regelrecht suchen..Nach Beanstandung wurde lediglich ein Kaffee angeboten… Ganz klar keine Empfehlung

Quaint restaurant, rustic furnishings and comfortable seating. Unlike other restaurants, the tables are further apart, which keeps the volume pleasant since there aren't that many people in one place. The food is super tasty and a must for anyone who likes potatoes. Of course there are also other dishes such as steak, ribs, schnitzel or others. I can recommend the burgers, which are prepared with salad instead of fries as a side dish for a change. 220 grams of patties and potato pancakes as rolls fill you up. There is also enough vegetarian selection

Nice restaurant with an outdoor terrace under the trees. Nice service and very tasty food which came promptly and at the same time for all guests at our table. Price-performance 👍

I always enjoyed eating there regularly. Unfortunately, my favorite dish, schnitzel with spicy paprika sauce, was removed from the menu. I don't know whether this has anything to do with woker political correctness. I didn't like the substitute dish I chose... That's how the store died for me. If the dish ends up on the menu again at some point, I'll come back and rate it better! Update 8/27/24 Paprika schnitzel is back. Large portion and good taste! Therefore now full points

The classic soup was delicious! Best soup ever. #111 in the menu was great, but I would recommend the potatoe casserole with salmon cheese and spinach. It took more than 30 min to get our food after ordering, but it was worth the waiting.

Unfortunately the terrace was not open. It was extremely hot in the restaurant - very unpleasant. The greeting and seat assignment are more like a barracks tone. Food was good, the sauerkraut could be better. Schnitzel with mushrooms is awesome.

Super delicious German cuisine. Nice and rustic. I like it very much :) The portions are very generous, which is always important to me personally 😄 will definitely come back.

Very good 👍. No comparison with Bünde

Very large portions, great service, prices are also great. Highly recommended.

Everything was great, nothing to complain about, keep it up. Always happy to come back. Thanks

Very tasty food at a good price. Plus a nice beer, in a nice atmosphere or on the town hall terrace. What more could you want?

So I always found it very good and tasty, we always got a table even when it was very full, without booking in advance

The food is really great and the staff is super nice, I can only recommend it!

The food was great, everyone is so incredibly friendly. I would love to go there again and recommend it to everyone :)

We were there this afternoon. The food arrived super quickly and was very tasty, I would go there again and again

The tuber was recommended to us. We were there for lunch with 7 people. One meal was acceptable, all others were disappointing. The waiter had to clear away a lot of leftovers. No, we cannot recommend the restaurant

Very good food. Everything top👍

Potato house - the way it should be. The portions are plentiful and tasty.

We had lunch there today and it was great. Value for money is great, the portions are reasonable. Big plus point: Totally child-friendly. My daughter (2 years old) immediately received a children's chair, crayons and children's cutlery. I have never experienced this in any other restaurant. Changing table and step so that small children can reach the sink are also available. The staff was completely friendly to my daughter. We will be back definitely! Thanks!

Quaint restaurant in Herford's historic town hall. The food is okay, but it feels like a lot of it is cooked “out of the box” (convenience), less fresh and homemade. For a potato house, there are also relatively few ideas when it comes to the tuber that gives it its name...

Cozy pub. Food excellent. Open until 10 p.m., but at 9 p.m. the chef starts cooking sauerkraut stew. We finished our dinner on Thursday evening at about 8:40 PM and wanted dessert. They come to pick up our plates at 2 minutes past 9 and also with the announcement that the kitchen is closed. In the end it worked, but all in all a bit strange. And then the weekend has yet to begin..... By the way, there could be some background music. Have fun and tasty food.

Very tasty and a good portion to fill you up for the price.

Price performance fits. Nice outside area. Worth it good selection of food

General average...but with a beer garden....!

Delicious and beautiful under the plane trees

Cozy restaurant and very nice employees

good, authentic, home-style food. It's worth taking a look through the entire map. A must visit if you are in Soest and the surrounding area! I always like to come back.

Great food, young, nice, very attentive staff

All about Potatoes with very tasty variations and a nice ambient in the middle of the city center.

Ate very well. And €19 for a large portion of spare ribs is more than reasonable

The four of us met in the tub. Our table was in a cozy corner, so it was pleasantly quiet. The taste of the food was ok, but unfortunately far too little for me. The service was attentive and quick.

So every schnitzel at a rest stop tastes better... all convenience and not exactly tender. Apparently there were only reheated potatoes that were still cold in the middle and were exchanged after a complaint, so that at least the temperature was acceptable, but also left something to be desired in terms of color and taste - and that in the potato house! We were really disappointed because we know it differently from before.

What happened here? We actually always enjoyed eating here...

Food was very tasty. And it was served particularly quickly. Can be highly recommended.

I noticed that as a wheelchair user you can't get through the main entrance because there are 3 steps down to the restaurant. Maybe we can do something more about it?

Delicious dishes and attentive staff in a cozy atmosphere.

Very good food. Was worth its price. Service good. '

Really tasty, huge portions, excellent service, always happy!!

There were four of us there around 1 p.m. It's a fairly large store that has various seating areas and tables that are very inviting and comfortable. We weren't particularly hungry and wanted some warm food on the way through. It was very tasty and rich. We once had a little treat: schnitzel on a pancake with a fried egg and salad. Which tasted perfect. Then twice the tuber with chicken and mushrooms and salad. The chicken was tender and the mushrooms and sauce were also very tasty. The tuber was three half potatoes in their skins. Very rich. The fourth meal was two meatballs with fried potatoes, a fried egg and vegetables. The vegetables were very tasty. All in all recommended. With a large drink €20 per person. There is also an asparagus menu there right now. We'd love to come again when we're in the area! Great friendly young service. Top!
