Gasthaus Goeke in Bochum

We were there yesterday with our American guests. We sat in the beer garden under the chestnut trees. It was a pleasant evening. The food, the service, everything was excellent. Our guests were thrilled. Thank you very much. We'll be back.

Unfortunately, the food was out before the kitchen officially closed due to a lack of staff. It's a shame, of course, if you walk there for over half an hour like we did.

Very nice staff! The food is OK.

Excellent, home-style cooking. We were there with a group of 13 people and had a private room. The onion soup was truly the tastiest I've ever eaten. And the steak wasn't to be sniffed at either.

A wonderfully cozy inn with an ambiance that takes you back to a bygone era! The pictures on the walls and the rooms lovingly decorated with nostalgic objects invite you to travel back in time and make you feel at home. With very friendly staff who are always concerned about the well-being of their guests, the service at this inn is a hallmark – many thanks to Ms. Sibel, whose open and humorous manner contributed to a successful evening! The menu has something for every taste, and the "Von Hier" dishes – typical regional dishes – are particularly recommended! However, there is one drawback – unfortunately, if you want a salad with your meal, you have to order it extra for at least €4.60! A salad – at least a small portion – is part of every good restaurant! For this, and for the portion sizes of some dishes, we unfortunately lose one star 🌟 The food is a deduction! Oh yes, and 6-8 potato balls the size of a "Giotto" aren't exactly a filling side dish either - sorry. But all in all, I can recommend the Gasthaus Goeke, and we'll definitely be back!

If you like it rustic like we do, this is exactly your shop

A great, home-style restaurant with delicious food, good service and a great atmosphere

Professional service, I will be back!

Definitely worth a visit. The food was delicious, and the staff was very nice and friendly.

Delicious food and attentive service.

Yes I can, the food was very tasty and the service friendly

We were here from Saarland (May 18, 2025) to celebrate our confirmation. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant, the outdoor area, and the beer garden under a chestnut tree have a certain flair that transports you back to your childhood. We'll definitely be back!

Were recently here for the first time with the family. The food was definitely good and the service was also very friendly. Definitely something for the older generation. So it's best to go there with your parents or grandpa and grandma 🙂

Before visiting the RuhrCongress we wanted to eat something and came across this restaurant. An attractive ambience from the outside and inside. We couldn't get a seat in the beer garden, and the charm inside was also surprising. Friendly waitresses, fast service. There was no drinks menu on the menu. The ordered food came quickly. Good portions for a reasonable price. We ate well in a nice atmosphere. I can only recommend it. Walk from the RuhrCongress or the Starlight Express approx. 10 minutes.

Quaint, traditional restaurant. Large selection of food, food with a good price/performance ratio.

We were at the restaurant for a family celebration. Unfortunately, we were left unattended in our separate room for a long time and only served when we asked. The food took a long time and we were very disappointed. All the prices were very high and there weren't even vegetables or a salad with the main courses. There was also no milk alternative for the coffee. The ambience is very old-fashioned, which can have a charm, but in this case it is not rustic and cozy, but rather shabby chairs and worn-out interior.

We had dinner at Goeke last week. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed. The food for the price wasn't even remotely filling. I ate the fried spagel, which was a maximum of 4 sticks and hardly any vegetables. I expected it to be served in a bowl full, instead it was a manageable plate. My partner's main course was also very clear. The taste was good, but not at all appropriate for the price. We sat in the outdoor area, which I didn't find to be warmly decorated. The chestnut trees are beautiful, but otherwise I didn't find it very comfortable. The service was ok, but not outstanding either. All in all, we would have liked more or more appropriate for the prices.

Rarely have I had more boring food, the service was quick and efficient, maybe a little too quick. Cozy guest house, for those who are up for it.

Really delicious food. Highly recommended. Very cozy and very good service. If we are in the area again we will definitely eat there again. It really was a fantastic end to our weekend in Germany

Highly recommended, nice staff, delicious food at reasonable prices, rest of the atmosphere with historical photos

Can only recommend dogs are welcome and have their own menu

Very nice, rustic guesthouse with lots of space. A mix of old charm and new food variations impress above all with a very good price-performance ratio. You pay a reasonable, fair price for very good quality. Thanks to many friendly service staff, you will be served quickly. A real insider tip 👌🏻

A great inn, really honest and classic! Delicious food, great service, we will definitely come back :)

Went to Haus Göke for the first time in a long time and that was also the last time. The schnitzels were so flat that I only tasted breading. Hollandaise sauce was out of a bag. Fried potatoes were soggy and full of oil. Too bad. It used to be better.

Was there after a funeral, didn't eat, so can't rate it. For me, it's a family-run restaurant with tradition.

eat mediocre The main course came before the starter €4.70 for 6 slices of baked baguette no goodbye Apparently everyone gets the same training: blueberries and star fruit slices at every restaurant because it's "modern". very sad experience never again EDIT: The "baked" Camembert was fried. the breading was dripping with oil. The number of mini slices of bread wasn't enough to eat the cheese, so we ordered more bread. We were charged €4.70 for this under “bread and dip”. Normally bread is free, and there was no dip at all!

We went to the RLCD for the line dance party. It was super super great, always happy 🤠💃

Very nice rustic inn. Very polite staff. There was also a greeting from the kitchen, curry noodle salad with corn and peas. The food went pretty quickly. After a good 20 minutes the food was on the table. Unfortunately the sauces were much too thick for us and the taste was so-so. A pepper sauce should taste peppery and a Diabolo sauce should be a little spicy. Neither was the case. But that is our personal feeling. If the sauces had been a little more modern and lighter it would have been five stars. Price performance is okay.

The food was very tasty, attentive and quick service.

Because of the positive reviews, we chose this inn after the Starlight Express. We came across a lovely inn with very friendly staff. The quality of the meat was okay. Unfortunately, in our opinion, the pepper sauce just tasted like flavor enhancers and ruined the whole dish. Too bad......

I was here for a business lunch in 1991 and was appalled at the quality of the food and service. Never been there again since then. Until now. In 2025 we were invited to celebrate a birthday there. And... I'm thrilled! Ambience, service, food, everything was great. And the menu offers everything from good home-style to seasonal and exceptional. We will definitely come back more often now.

I have been a more or less regular guest at Goeke for about 50 years. I've never been disappointed!

Fast service and friendly employees

Great food, very nice service. In the evenings on weekends it's always pretty full - and unfortunately a bit loud. Otherwise great! Also very suitable for groups (birthdays etc.)!

Great food and great service at fair prices! Highly recommended!

Rustic classic tavern with various rooms and hall. Good home-style fresh food. Bad parking situation.

As always, very tasty and nice service

Nothing to complain about. There were 5 of us and we all ordered something different and everyone really enjoyed it. The warm staff and the cozy design of the store contribute to a very pleasant, calm atmosphere. And even when things got a little stressful, it had absolutely no impact on the cozy atmosphere. Another little tip: The Kaiserschman is really highly recommended

Beautiful, older, rustic inn in Bochum. Known far beyond the borders, with a huge hall, small pub,... Ideal for celebrations and events. Gladly again

We felt like we were in an old train station waiting room. The food wasn't so great that we could ignore it. The way to the toilets was adventurous.

The food was average. Round, thick carrot slices in a salad are not a big hit. Unfortunately, the attempt to partially caramelize the Kaiserschmarn failed because it was too thick. The service was subpar. We waited forever for drinks and then we couldn't order them anymore. The waiters were hectic. Because they ran quickly and quickly the whole time. It was sometimes very tight to get past our table because we were sitting in the middle of the room like we were on a presentation plate. Which made the ambience more like a train station hall. Too bad.

Unfortunately, I wasn't noticed when I entered the restaurant. The lumberjack steak didn't taste like anything. Only the salad was edible. However, when ordering, a waitress gives you the feeling that you are being casual. The other waitress was friendlier. The restaurant looks good from the inside. In general I didn't feel comfortable and I didn't like it either. I won't come back.

Went here for the first time as a couple and were completely satisfied. There is nothing to complain about here. Thank you again and again

Very comfortable. Always my pleasure!!!

Perfect for breakfast mut music.

Our bowling alley, friendly staff, delicious food and reasonable prices

The food is awesome. I'm always happy to be there.

Were here for the second time now and if I could give more than five stars, I would. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious, we will definitely come back

Haven't been disappointed once in 27 years

I was skeptical at first when friends suggested this inn. However, when we arrived we were immediately greeted in a very friendly manner. The service was very dedicated and capable. The food was incredibly tasty and served almost piping hot. A very good inn, even if it seems old-fashioned at first glance.

Great atmosphere. Great staff and very family friendly!

Absolute sensation 👍😋😋👍 Here you can eat like your mother eats 😃

Different people have different tastes and ideas! For me/us it's almost like a family here! School enrolments, baptisms, weddings, birthdays - we have already celebrated all of this here, with a very tasty meal, very friendly service and special requests that were handled with confidence:) The inn is very comfortably furnished and is located on the Grummer ponds. The location also offers pleasant paths for walking and lots of greenery! Gladly again at any time!

Very tasty food, fast, nice and polite service.

Another time we were at the Gasthaus Goeke and spontaneously had a delicious meal for the two of us. ☺️ We'll be happy to come back and take a seat under the chestnuts in the warm season.

Really great and quaint restaurant. One of the best restaurants in Bochum!! Very tasty and very cozy. Everything is great.

A great house with over 200 years of history. A very nice restaurant with delicious dishes and very nice staff. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended. Only the parking options are very limited.

Sehr leckeres Essen, große Auswahl - perfekter Service. Der hauseigene Sekt ist ebenfalls sehr gut! 100 %ige Weiterempfehlung!

Very nice old rustic restaurant with great, delicious food. Very nice courteous staff. We will definitely come again.

Just had a meal there for the first time. Great service and very tasty food. Highly recommended.

We were invited for a birthday and were accommodated in a separate room, which was very nice. There were pork and turkey medallions, a vegetable platter, beans wrapped in bacon, potatoes, fries, croquettes, champion sauce, pepper sauce, salad and for dessert three different desserts, served in glasses. The food tasted excellent. The staff was super nice and the drinks were always brought quickly.

Quaint restaurant with delicious and local food. The beer garden under the chestnut trees is wonderful when the weather is nice.

Nice inn, very friendly and nice. Good service, delicious food. I'll go there again!!!

Service was very attentive. The interior is very old. The choice of food is far too large. The food was not convincing. SCHNITZEL were very thin and dry. Likewise the veal fillet schnitzel. Sorry, but no risk of repeat. Price performance for the food is simply not right.

Our waitress who met us on August 10th. Served for my mother's birthday dinner was absolutely great. Thank you very much for that.

Went there for dinner on Sunday, really great menu, very nice selection and the prices are absolutely okay. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The schnitzels we ordered were fried nice and thin and crispy, sauce with fresh mushrooms or onions... perfect. The beer garden is really great, lots of space, lots of seating and... home-baked cakes... great. My compliments to you and I'll be back...

Wienerschnitzel was tasty but two slices of sausage could have been way too small

Great inn! Really delicious food and super friendly staff! Had dinner there and had a nice seat in the beer garden. The portions were large and you'll definitely be full. The staff is helpful and responds to requests. We'll eat there again on our next visit to Bochum.

A special compliment to our waitress.

The apple pie was still lukewarm and tasted good. We got a table for 1.5 hours without a reservation. There was enough time to eat in peace. All dishes tasted very good.

It was just special tonight. From the very beginning, our exceptional waitress Henrike made us feel welcome as guests of the house and happy to serve us. This is really not a given. The price for 2 beers (0.4 liters), 2 glasses of Pinot Gris and finally 2 Apérol Spritz and the two extremely tasty dishes (Schnitzel Rübezahl and fillet skewer Madagascar) for just over 70 EUR was extremely reasonable - who can complain about that? 😉 Conclusion: It was really special. And we are just too rarely at Goeke. 😊 Thank you! 😊

Es war einfach besonders heute Abend. Unsere außergewöhnliche Bedienung Henrike hat uns von Anfang an das Gefühl gegeben, als Gast des Hauses willkommen zu sein und uns gerne zu bedienen. Das ist wirklich nicht selbstverständlich. Der Preis für 2 Bier (0,4 Liter), 2 Glas Grauburgunder und abschließend 2 Apérol Spritz und die beiden äußerst leckeren Gerichte (Schnitzel Rübezahl und Filetspieß Madagaskar) für etwas mehr als 70 EUR war äußerst zivil - wer will da meckern? 😉 Fazit: Es war wirklich besonders. Und wir sind einfach zu selten bei Goeke. 😊 Vielen Dank! 😊

Very rustic. Toilet facilities in the basement were described as "creepy" by other guests. Food quite ok.

Always happy 😉 Apple strudel very good. 👍 Dinner is also recommended.

The quality of the food was very poor and some of it didn't correspond to the menu description. The waiting time was also unacceptable. Overall, the price/performance ratio was not okay.

It's worth a visit, honest good cuisine, moderate prices, you rarely find great service

Always delicious here. Good German cuisine. Everything fresh!

I was cycling through Bochum. Very nice restaurant with friendly service. I didn't eat but just enjoyed a freshly tapped Fiege Pils

We go to the restaurant regularly because we go bowling there and the food is always wonderful. Went there today for a coffee with the dog 🐕 and there's also a really great memory card for the dog.

Good home cooking! Service outside was very slow or nonexistent. However, the store was full because of a European Championship game. Goeke has a really nice beer garden with old trees.

Good traditional restaurant and plenty of parking, as well as a great outdoor area. The service was courteous and quick. Anyone who wants to experience something traditional outside of the mainstream restaurant chains will get their money's worth here. It's great that something like this still exists, 👍

We always enjoy eating here. The staff is always very friendly and accommodating. The food is very good. Be sure to dine outside in the summer.

The food is presented very carelessly on the plates, every chip shop puts the food together better. The drinks prices are slowly but surely overpriced 5.90 for an alcohol-free wheat is really awesome. We're not on the Kö.

Very nice. Portions are really big and the price is right too

Very good food. Very nice service. Gladly again.

Quaint, atmosphere. Very nice L age right next to a park..Rich menu with great, tasty dishes. Very nice beer garden. Very friendly service. Absolutely recommended.

Home-style cooking with a reasonable price/performance ratio.

Nostalgic, cozy, good home cooking

Friendly staff and the kitchen is very good. Keep it up, this comes from a Schalke player. 💙🤍😂

The hollandaise sauce tasted little like it. otherwise everything is fine

A really good inn, happy and waitresses were very helpful and accommodating

Unfortunately the food was served lukewarm! Staff tried hard to make everything right. Unfortunately the taste varies greatly between good and not tasting like anything.

We needed space for 20 people relatively spontaneously and we got it there. It was the best senior birthday in years! A great team read our wishes from our eyes and provided them with the finest care. Gladly again! (The bald man with the white beard) 😉

Very good restaurant. Rustic. And it tastes good.

Incredibly great inn! Very nice guest garden in the natural shade, huge menu and extremely delicious food and really nice and courteous service! Absolute recommendation!

One of the most beautiful traditional inns in Bochum 👍👍👍

We sat in the romantic beer garden. The food was very good. The service was also excellent.

Great schnitzel, great dessert, great service, great table setting, everyone was super friendly. Everything great!

Delicious food, cozy get-togethers. Perfect for family events.

Long-established restaurant, rustic furnishings. Can also be used for larger celebrations. Food excellent, service great. Bowling alley & beer garden available.
