Dutenhofener See in Wetzlar

Very tasty food. The freshness and quality were very impressive. The location is beautiful.

The food on offer is authentic and delicious, from traditional beer garden dishes to hearty specialties. The highlight, of course, is the freshly tapped beer, which tastes excellent and perfectly complements the atmosphere. The staff is friendly and accommodating, making you feel completely at home. All in all, a great place to enjoy the beautiful nature, have good company, and be pampered. Highly recommended!

Oh my god 😍😍😍 How delicious is the pizza? The dough is super fluffy, the base is super crispy, fresh tomatoes and fresh basil. Combined with the view of the beach and the super friendly staff, you feel like you're on vacation here. Simply amazing!!! Thank you!!!

I stopped here on my bike route to take a rest and grab some quick food and a beer. Service was fast. The atmosphere was great! I can see why it is a popular place to go for drinks and talk to a group of friends. The wheat beer tasted good but the Currywurst was okay. This is the perfect place to stop at when on a bike tour.

Nice Wiener Schnitzel and salad. Thank you,

Great place to stay. The food is very good. Staff is very attentive, friendly and competent. Thumbs up.

We had a family reunion. Beautiful location, food very tasty, prices moderate and ambience very tastefully decorated. Everything worked wonderfully and we were very satisfied. 5 stars extra for the clever and friendly service. We'd love to come back.

We've heard a lot of good things about the restaurant and expected accordingly. Unfortunately, the service leaves a lot to be desired. We were served by a waiter who spoke poor German and had gap teeth, who seemed totally stressed and overwhelmed despite there being fewer guests and, above all, was very unfriendly. He kept us waiting forever despite already expressing our wish to order. Other guests also waited a long time for their bill etc. Otherwise, a great restaurant in a fantastic location. Food was okay, but we would have expected a little more for the price.

Very nice atmosphere, pizza was really tasty, but the service was terribly bad, even though there wasn't much going on. Hopefully things will get better again in the summer.

We have eaten there several times and also celebrated a baptism there. The food and service was excellent. We would do it the same way again.

Cool restaurant with a beach. Food is very good. Also suitable for groups. Always good tent parties in summer

2019 - Great view of Lake Dutenhofen - Good cuisine at moderate prices - nice service - Update 2025 - new management in the anchor - gastronomy has remained at a good level - nice service and good value for money - had all you can eat spare ribs today - was delicious - unfortunately last day today - will only be available again from October 😀

Great restaurant with a very nice outdoor area (beer garden).

I was there in the summer. Very nicely located restaurant on Lake Dutenhofen with a great outdoor area. Ideal for a romantic meal or even a family trip. Great staff. BUT: I ordered a baked potato with original Frankfurter Grüne sauce and received a jacket potato with herb quark wrapped in aluminum foil. Given the price level, I expected a lot more and only non-Frankfurters would fall for it

You can eat well, plentifully and in a pleasant atmosphere here. When the temperatures are warm you can sit wonderfully by the lake and the sandy beach. However, the restaurant is difficult to find for non-locals.

Went to lunch with 10 people today! Mega delicious food and great friendly staff! Thank you for a lovely time with you today! We'll definitely be back!

Here it's not just the gastronomy, but also the entire environment that is harmonious. Nice location with appetizing food & drinks. A pleasant atmosphere, great staff. Prices within limits. Very nice, large beer garden with a view of the lake. Other lakes for swimming, camping, pedal boat rental and much more. Many live events. A daily menu every day. Overall, a great place that offers something for everyone: partying with friends, sporting activities, sunbathing or just chilling and relaxing! Getting there by car isn't great, although there are enough parking spaces. It's better to take a bike, e-bike charging stations are provided. Almost always fully booked, so it's best to make a reservation. Absolutely recommended! Unfortunately it hasn't been an insider tip for a long time!

Not only is the food incredibly delicious, but the staff are also extremely child-friendly and friendly.

Nice atmosphere, good service and delicious food!

Too little selection at brunch. Hard (probably frozen) rolls with packaged jam for breakfast. There was a very small selection for the main course, especially since it was only fully available shortly before the end. There were no vegetables or anything similar as a side dish at lunchtime or as raw food in the morning. We liked everything rather medium.

We celebrated our wedding there in May of this year and I look back on it so fondly! Everything was wonderful, from the food to the service, just a dream! We didn't have to worry about anything that day and could just enjoy the celebration! I would do it again and again, an incredibly beautiful location where we received top advice right from the start and felt incredibly comfortable! The lights in the evening give a very unique atmosphere and so does the beach! The service staff are all super attentive and friendly, thank you for allowing us to celebrate such an incredibly beautiful day there!

Great restaurant, very nicely located and good service. The food has lost some quality in the last year.

Went there today for Advent brunch with the family, delicious as always and great value for money. Hopefully it will happen again next year and we'll be happy to be there again. But you can eat well there all year round.

The food was very tasty and the service was very good. Gladly again

Perfect, great location - all employees are always friendly and on their toes to look after our guests. I'd love to come back here again. THANKS SO MUCH.

Very nice, food very good, service very friendly. Gladly again.

The Dutenhofen is beautifully located, very good food, although it's not exactly cheap. We were there on a company outing and enjoyed it.

It was really nice and the prices were OK too.. will go again

The beer garden is located directly on the lake and on the Lahn cycle path. Enjoy your meal. Fair prices. Great location. It's also very beautiful inside, which is why the anchor is a popular excursion destination all year round. Reservations are recommended, especially for inside. Service is often quite stressful, sometimes seems annoyed, curt and it can sometimes take a long time. Understandable, but still a shame.

Such an unfriendly shop! We've just been to Oktoberfest for the first (and last) time and were kicked out by security at exactly 1 a.m. (at the end of the event)! Here you start by making a lot of money and selling food and drinks for a lot of money - and then these "security forces" even get violent and you can't even finish your drink - you are simply thrown out! That's what you do here with hundreds of guests! A no-go! Apparently earned money - and bye! Dirt…

My son's school trip. I just picked him up there myself. But from the outside, the restaurant makes a serious impression. In any case, there is enough space here to camp and pedal boats on the lake. A beautiful destination for leisure activities and a refreshment in the restaurant is certainly worth a trip to Dutenhofen for leisure activities.

Very welcoming atmosphere. Very nice service

My husband took me out to dinner and it was really, really good. The service was friendly and even had a joke 👍 the atmosphere was really clean and there was plenty of space. The food... I'm still dreaming about it, I ordered a schnitzel with champion sauce and it arrived at our table quite quickly after ordering. It was very tasty and the portion was more than enough 👍 the fries were not frozen, they were homemade and were very tasty 😋 We will definitely eat there again.

Excellent service, very nice atmosphere...!! Absolutely recommended...!!

Very nicely located restaurant, very nice ambience, very attentive and friendly service. Drinks came promptly, the food was on the table quickly. And everything we had was tasty and sufficient. Price-performance ratio definitely fits.

We ordered the vegan curry and a pizza Toscana. Unfortunately the curry only came 10 minutes after the pizza, which I don't think was nice at all. If you go out to eat as a couple, it should be possible for both guests to receive their dishes almost at the same time, even when the occupancy is high, and not have to eat them one after the other. The vegetarian curry was very tasty. The pizza was soft in the middle even though the base wasn't thin, and the taste of the ham wasn't convincing. I find the anchor skewer at €24.50 significantly overpriced given the performance it offers. The staff was a bit overwhelmed by the high number of visitors, but they were friendly. The fact that only one person picks up and collects the food is a bit inconvenient given the large number of seats.

Beautiful garden terrace with a great view of the lake. Good and inexpensive food and drinks.

Super delicious food and great service. Had a wonderful afternoon.

We were invited there for brunch. A special pavilion was reserved for this celebration. The service was very good despite the normal food service and the lake being open. The same applies to brunch itself. Since vegans were also present at this celebration, attention was paid to their special dietary needs. The offer was very good. We will definitely visit a restaurant sometime.

Portions are generous and relatively tasty. Service is appropriate to the high number of visitors: fast, yet friendly. Prices are at the usual level for snack bars at the lake/in the outdoor pool.

Great atmosphere and super friendly staff, delicious food

Good food, very nicely located. Usually enough free parking spaces.

When ordering schnitzel, hamburger and fitness dish, the schnitzel was served with over-salted fries without salad, the hamburger was cold and the chicken in the fitness dish was completely bland with no taste whatsoever

Great location, great atmosphere.

Delicious food, great location, everything fits!

Always worth a visit. Great ambience!

Top location, great food, friendly service!

We took a detour off the highway on the way home today. Super nice service, delicious food, great view of the lake. We recommend. Keep it up!

Weather good, everything is good 👍

Were in the bistro area, next door food was delicious. Self-service

Holiday feeling with good food with a view of the lake and a digestive walk afterwards.

Great ambience, attentive and friendly staff and delicious food. We were there for a company party - really nice

The self-service area has improved significantly. Very good pizza, great fries and an exceptional salad. So it's bearable even if the restaurant itself is closed, which of course has even more selection and delicacies.

Not enough service personnel on hot and busy days. Food was ok, but overpriced. Couldn’t recommend.

We had our company outing there - a very successful, relaxed atmosphere

Very nice location by the lake. Service super friendly and attentive. Food very tasty. A place to feel good, especially when the weather outside is good.

Unfortunately disappointed, we were there on a Thursday evening in June around 9:15 p.m. and wanted something to eat after ordering the drinks! We were told that the kitchen was only open until 9 p.m. and that we could only order one pizza. It's a shame because Google says it's open until 11 p.m. After a corresponding complaint, payment for the drinks was waived.

Unfortunately the food is very ambivalent. Sometimes you get something completely different even though you ordered the same thing the day before. Some things taste really good. The salads are a bit over the top in terms of price/performance. The outside area is beautiful. Unfortunately the chairs are rather uncomfortable.

Celebrated my birthday with 12 adults and 7 children, everything was perfect.

I can really recommend eating here, the pizzas are delicious & the cheese plate is awesome. The service is friendly, nice and accommodating, every suggestion is taken into account. The view of the lake makes every meal a dream, you almost feel like you're on vacation 🔆 After eating, relax a little, then lie down on the beach or go swimming, what more could you want, you can also go for a nice walk here, which is always excellent after a good meal.

There should also be sockets for charging e-bikes!

Very good food, nice location, nice ambience

Very nicely located. Unfortunately, Canadian geese defecate all over the lawns. Otherwise very well maintained. Ideal for higher demands. e.g. Birthdays. Tables outside including bar tables with white covers. Excellent. You can rent a party raft. Grill on board. Bring barbecue food. Pedal boat for 2-3 people on the boat for onshore trips to the toilet. worked great. There is always someone who wants to ride a pedal boat. If you would like to go from the raft rather than the 3-4 hours booked, the staff will also pick you up in a motorized inflatable boat. Excellent.

Food was better before. Certainly popular with party/Kölschennacht and Oktoberfest goers. What was positive was that the staff was very attentive and on the ball.

The anchor is always worth a trip. The food is of decent quality. The service is friendly and professional and the waiting times are manageable even when the restaurant and beer garden are full. We're looking forward to next time!

It was my first time there and I have to say everything was great, the drinks were so quick, the food came so quickly, even though there were 20 of us there, everything was so quick, the service was top notch, thank you again and again

Very nice staff, good food and of course a nice appearance thanks to the lake. It's definitely worth eating there if you're in the area. The large tent is perfect for celebrations

The food was deliciously prepared, but I didn't feel completely full, even though the chop was supposed to be 400g and the bone wasn't too big.

Unfortunately, the food wasn't quite as tasty as expected. But everyone also has different tastes

Anyone who has been there once and looked into the kitchen and can think normally won't be coming back anytime soon ;)

very, very nice restaurant, right on the lake, a bit expensive, but service and food very good

Simply good 😃, delicious... for connoisseurs in every respect, whether it's the food or the ambience. Friendly, attentive Staff. Relaxing environment,... lake bottom possible to go for a walk after a good meal. Any time !! 😉

You can organize great celebrations here. The staff and the ambience are good. The food and drink are always good.

Very tasty food, in my opinion the portions could be a little larger. Otherwise wonderful atmosphere, almost like you're on vacation!

We stayed at the campsite for one night on the way back in March. Luckily it was Thursday and in addition to the normal dishes, the restaurant served “ribs all you can eat”. Tasty but the burger was also great. Super nice, attentive staff.

Super competent and friendly service manager who, despite a big Austrian evening, was able to quickly organize a table for an hour and we quickly got something tasty on the way through! Great this time!

Great location and happening. Cool stop for a bike tour. A bit overpriced

Service was nice, food was great, price was okay too.

A really nice restaurant with selected dishes that go perfectly with the ambience. Everyone at the table was very happy. No long waiting times, everything was great.

Super child-friendly, quick and uncomplicated. Thank you for the great hospitality after our sandcastle building.

We had our Christmas party at the location. It was great from the food to the ambience. The lake also creates a beautiful atmosphere. Highly recommended!!! 😊

This was the second time I was in the anchor within a week. Unfortunately, the male waiter barked at us in an unfriendly manner for the second time! I certainly won't give the "nice gentleman" the opportunity to complain to me for the third time!

I was at a company party with a buffet here in winter. The food was delicious and the service was very attentive. The tent is actually not bad - the decoration and lighting are very attractive. However, you shouldn't sit too close to the wall in winter, as there will be a bit of a draft.

You can have a great party here. Great ambience, delicious food and the service was absolutely great. Highly recommended.

Sehr schönes Restaurant mit Biergarten und sehr gutes Essen und Getränke und sehr gute Bedienung.

Beste location im Umkreis, super Speisen und Getränke, klasse Service

Top Adresse. Service sehr nett und freundlich trotz starkem Betrieb. Superleckeres Essen. Immer wieder gerne

Als Hochzeitssängerin durfte ich schon einige Male mit der Gaststätte Anker zusammen arbeiten. Wer sich eine Strandhochzeit in Mittelhessen wünscht, findet hier auf jeden Fall die perfekte Hochzeitslocation! Das große Zelt findet genügend Platz für alle Hochzeitsgäste und auch die Trauung kann bei schlechtem Wetter hier stattfinden. Der Blick aufs Wasser ist einfach unbezahlbar! Auch das Essen war hervorragend! Große Herzensempfehlung!

Es war schon besser. Vor allem das Personal

Leckeres Essen, nette Bedienung. Gerne wieder !

Die Preise waren übertrieben teuer.

Beim Essen immer gleichbleibend gute Qualität. Super lecker. Leicht bayrisch angehaucht. Ich liebe die Kässpätzle und den grandiosen Kaiserschmarrn. Portionsgrößen haben über die Jahre hinweg deutlich abgenommen. Service vor Ort freundlich, am Telefon manchmal etwas unbeholfen. Ambiente und Gastraum schön gemacht. Gelegentliches Kneipenfeeling, nix zum "schön Essen gehen".

Leckeres Essen im Sommer Entspannung am see

Sehr gutes Essen schnelle Bedienung und auch sehr freundliches Personal

Ziel unserer Radtour war wieder einmal der Biergarten, schön am See gelegen mit tollem Blick auf den See, mit zahlreichen Schatten- oder Sonnenplätzen, je nach Wunsch. An der Selbstbedienungstheke haben wir uns ein paar Kleinigkeiten zur Stärkung geholt, die allesamt sehr lecker waren. Preis-/Leistung hat passt. Die Bedienung hinter der Theke war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit bei einem Sonderwunsch. Die Fahrräder konnten wir sicher abstellen, so dass wir eine entspannte Auszeit genießen konnten.

Familienfeier mit 30 Personen. Leckeres Buffet, aufmerksamer und sehr freundlicher Service, tolle Location! Wie vor 5 Jahren! Klasse! Respekt!

Super leckeres Essen, auch wechselnde Speisekarte zur Zeit mit bayerischem Motto, preislich vollkommen in Ordnung bei netter, sehr prompter Bedienung und, wenn das Wetter passt kann man herrlich draußen sitzen.

Wir haben unsere Hochzeit in dem Zelt am See gefeiert und es war einfach überragend. Das Essen war richtig lecker, das Personal super freundlich und engagiert bis zum Schluss und die Location spricht für sich. Es war ein unvergesslicher Tag, danke dafür!

30 Personen mal eben gut und gemütlich untergebracht; alle gut gegessen und sehr zuvorkommend bewirtet worden: Danke dafür

Wir waren hier als Teil einer großen Betriebsfeier. Das Essen war super lecker, das Ambiente ist Top und das Personal war freundlich und flott. Leere Gläser oder Teller wurden schnell abgeräumt und auch der Nachschub an Getränken ging flott. Über die Preise können wir nichts sagen, mussten ja nicht bezahlen. 🙃
