Gasthaus Kraus in Otterberg

An absolute pleasure My expectations were exceeded

Had a wonderful meal at a delightful restaurant. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. The service was pleasant and very responsive. And, this is what surprised me the most, the atmosphere was excellent. The interior has a great balance of modern but cozy and the lighting accentuates these features well.

A real inn in the Kaiserslautern area. I like going there

I was very satisfied, the lamb was of top quality and very well prepared, and the service was also very friendly and attentive.

We live in Mehlbach and always drove by. We finally made reservations and we are so glad we tried it. The food was very flavorful and had beautiful presentation and the starter salad that came with the entrees had a delicious dressing. The dishes came out within a reasonable time and had good portions. My favorite things are that the food is locally sourced and the servers are so warm and kind, all with a pleasant atmosphere. We highly recommend Gasthaus Kraus.

Yes, a really good restaurant..food was good..friendly staff..and a cozy atmosphere..but there is one point of criticism..we waited a good hour for the food..okay it was full..still had a bit of a look..otherwise definitely recommended 👍🙂

I found the dishes a little simple. Service was slow. The restaurant interior is beautiful

We were at the Kraus again on Thursday and were, as always, very satisfied. Great quality, excellent preparation, friendly and attentive service. The Asian pointed cabbage salad with half raw fried tuna. Fantastic! The saddle of lamb. A poem! We went home very happy after a stressful day. Is there a better compliment for a chef? See you soon again 😃

I'm just annoyed that it's been so long since I've been to this great, family-run restaurant. I simply have to make other prospective guests aware of what I experienced and ate this evening in a review/review. A lot has happened in this restaurant, run by the sons and daughter-in-law of the Kraus family changed. Top modern facilities, a cozy atmosphere and a service that is more than satisfactory. The Kraus Buben have created a menu that will make every gourmet click their tongue. I chose a marrow dumpling soup with 3 dumplings. The dumplings passed on my tongue. The taste reminded me of my grandma's cooking, who always made me this favorite soup. Afterwards I couldn't resist the veal cheeks. I made the right choice: the cheeks were served with a delicate mashed potato and salsify. The sauce was a dream of a bright cloud of flavor. Excellent!! I am full and very happy with my choice of food. A great Gewürztraminer rounded off the meal. The place was full. After all, it is Sunday at 7 p.m. Very satisfied, I drive back towards Rodenbach. I will definitely eat there again often now. The legacy and success story of the “Alte Krauses” will be successfully continued. You have to take your hat off to that. My points.....11 out of 10 Heberle Peter

Cozy, friendly service, delicious and freshly prepared food

My 70th birthday celebration should be something special. The Kraus team fully met my expectations: Attentive service, finely seasoned food, soup like mother's, steaks and salmon cooked to perfection, beautifully presented. My guests and I were completely satisfied!

Unfortunately, you loved ones left one star behind when it came to service, and unfortunately we had to wait a little longer for drinks 😉

Unfortunately today it was NOTHING. The large side room/HALL is very nice. Unfortunately, due to the large number of guests (almost all seats were occupied), it was far too loud, and it was only possible to have a conversation in a loud voice with the person directly next to you at the table. We were participants in the guild meeting, super preheated plates for the starter salad, which would have been very nice for the main course. The main course wasn't to my liking. Red cabbage very sweet and extremely cinnamony, roast beef dry and almost tough. The schnitzels were OK, a sauce would have been missing here. Well, it doesn't always work out the way you want it to. Unfortunately, it wasn't a meal that you would say afterwards: "That was very delicious." Therefore my recommendation will be limited. H. Schöneberger

Were there for the first time to try it out! Were very pleasantly surprised! Very friendly welcome, good food and very attentive service! Will come here more often! Will recommend you to others!

Hello Armin Kraus family, Today I managed to continue the 'Müller-Emmert' family tradition a bit. It was phenomenal! Everything was great! We'll be back, best regards. Andrea

On Friday I was there as a speaker at a whiskey tasting. Great service, very friendly staff as well as top organization and great food!

Three of us had dinner on Sunday. As a starter we had pumpkin soup which was delicious. Beef steak medium with fries and once with noodles was super tasty and the salad with it was also very good. Very large portions, with a little more sauce it would have been even better. The senior plate of Jägerschnitzel with French fries was also big enough. Would love to come back

Food, SERVICE, ambience are good, prices are a bit high!

Yesterday we had dinner at the Gasthaus Kraus for a family celebration with 11 people. All the food was excellent and everyone was very satisfied. The service was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable in the cozy atmosphere. All in all a very successful evening. Thanks!

If you're looking for local and traditional German food, this is the spot! It's a beautifully renovated restaurant, very cozy and beautiful atmosphere. They also have their own butcher shop and the meat they serve is top notch. Get your schnitzel fix here in Otterberg!

The beef fillet was world class. We would love to come back here.

If you love meat...no more words needed 👌

The catering for 40 people was super tasty and more than enough! Price performance is top! Delivery was on time and very nice. All in all, very well done and would be available again at any time

We always enjoy celebrating our family celebrations here.

Today for the first time there. Very satisfied. Come again.

We ate at Gasthaus Kraus during the week and I can highly recommend it. The food was very tasty and was beautifully presented. It was definitely worth the money and I would go back again and again.

Best rump steak with garlic butter and potatoes I’ve had..excellent service. Good schnitzel also.

I have to admit that I've had better food. Unfortunately, my hunter's cheese schnitzel didn't have any sauce on the plate, which is why it was a bit dry and the fries weren't salted. The price would be ok if there had been sauce included. However, the portion was large enough. But I think there is another try.

Very nicely designed restaurant; excellent cuisine; extremely friendly service; very coherent concept on all levels; unreserved recommendation

I had the opportunity to experience the catering restaurant and I absolutely love it. The food was not only delicious, but also prepared with great attention to detail. The friendly service was particularly noteworthy - from the restaurant staff to the catering team. Big praise for the excellent work! I can fully recommend this restaurant.

Friendly and very attentive staff

Was soll man sagen? Location klasse, Essen klasse, Service klasse und das immer wieder, und wieder!

Food was very good, there was nothing to complain about. Service was very attentive. We were very satisfied.

Very friendly service staff, good portions, fresh ingredients, cozy atmosphere between modern and traditional. Keep it up !

Great atmosphere and very nice service... good food and enough for the normal hungry person... again and again... top...

Ein Restaurant wie es sein soll, kleine aber feine gut durchdachte Karte mit leckeren Gerichten. Preis/Leistung Top und geschmacklich immer ein Highlight. Der Service ist super freundlich, aufmerksam und geht auf Extrawünsche ein. Meiner Meinung nach ein klasse Laden und auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert. Einfach mal ausprobieren und selbst ein Bild machen :-).

Sehr freundlicher und kompetenter Service. Moderne, gemütliche Einrichtung. Einziges Manko. Ganz steile Treppe zur Damentoilette. Nicht barrierefrei

Bei Kraus gibt es immer ein Spitzen Essen,zu einem sehr guten Preis.Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und erfüllt auch wünsche außer der Speisekarte.Wir gehen immer wieder gerne dahin.

Sehr schönes Restaurant,das Essen war sehr lecker und die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ist auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Wir kommen wieder.

Nicely and newly renovated, the food and drink selection is good. Schnitzel serving size is XL while vegetarian dishes are for smaller stomachs.

Tolles Essen, Service war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Für jeden was dabei, auch vegetarisch. Super, kommen gerne wieder.

Pfälzer Teller war sehr gut Salat mit "Joghurtdressing" sehr lecker, Gurkensalat leider sehr sauer, überbackener Schafskäse war leider enttäuschend (zu viele Oliven, kaum Gemüse...)

Sehr gutes Essen, toller Service. Hier geht man gerne essen.

Heerlijk gegeten in het restaurant/zaal. Was niet zo sfeervol als de bistro ernaast. Zag er gezelliger uit. Maar erg goed gegeten. Zelden zo'n lekkere biefstuk gegeten.

Sehr empfehlenswert! Das Essen war sowohl in der optischen Darreichung als auch im Geschmack wirklich hervorragend. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Abend und kommen sehr gerne wieder. Vielen Dank

Absolut empfehlenswert. Hatte ein Iberico Koteletts, was soll ich sagen Top Top Top

Sehr gutes Essen. Sehr gute Qualität Preise sind vollkommen angemessen. Super schneller und freundlicher Service. Bin einfach nur zufrieden.

Sehr freundliches zuvorkommendes Team, super leckeres Essen, alles frisch zubereitet super Qualität. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Kalbsschnitzel mit Kroketten und Preiselbeeren. Leider war das Schnitzel einen "Ticken" zu lange in der Pfanne, sodass es etwas trocken war. Vielleicht ist es auch dadurch etwas geschrumpft? 🤷 Sehr schade für das leckere Qualitätsfleisch! Die Preiselbeeren waren ehr eine Preiselbeermarmelade... Es waren ganze 3 Preiselbeeren im Schälchen, der Rest war Fruchtsoße! Auch gab es für den Preis von 24€ keinen, wenn auch noch so kleinen Beilagensalat. Aber das weiß man vor der Bestellung! Trotzdem ist es erwähnenswert, da man für den Beilagensalat nochmal 4,60€ zahlen soll. Somit wäre man bei 28,60€ 😳 Ich möchte aber das Gasthaus Kraus auf jeden Fall empfehlen! Es hat geschmeckt, dass Ambiente ist schön und die Bedienung ist sehr aufmerksam. Wenn meine "Anmerkungen" nicht gewesen wären und das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ein kleines bisschen angepasst wird, gebe ich dem Gasthof auch gerne 5*.

Ambiente nach Umbau sehr modern und gemütlich. Essen sehr gut. Service... kommt auf Kellner/in an. Meistens aber gut!

Wir waren wieder sehr zufrieden!

Sehr gute Qualität der Speisen und Lebensmittel. Insgesamt sehr lecker. Dies hat natürlich auch seinen Preis. Ambiente in der Stube bei der Bar sehr schön, im großen Saal allerdings eher ungemütlicher Charakter. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Gut bürgerliche Küche, sehr lecker

Super Essen Super Service Faire Preise Schönes Ambiente Absolut empfehlenswert

Essen war wie immer sehr lecker 😋, Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und sehr aufmerksam,

Sehr leckeres Essen und guter Sercie - thumbs up 🤗

Grandioses Rumpsteak, klasse Feldsalat - einfach Spitze

Schon der Feldsalat vorne weg war ein Gedicht. Das Rumpsteak setzte den ganzen die Krone auf. Den Abschluss bildete schließlich eine überragende Käseauswahl.

Sehr schönes Lokal mit einer kleinen, aber feinen Karte. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

It was Christmas day, so we had reservations. Recently renovated and super ambiance. Awesome food, great staff, and decent prices. You will not leave hungry. 👍👍👍

Hervorragende Küche! Tolles Ambiente! Hier lohnt es sich sogar etwas weiter zu fahren, um toll essen gehen zu können. Alles richtig gemacht👍

Essen hervorragend ! Bedienung flott und freundlich. Der Gastraum sehr schön neu gestaltet und gemütlich. Einziger Kritikpunkt : die Damentoilette ist eine Etage höher und daher nicht barrierefrei. Wir kommen gerne wieder !

Bedienung, Essen und Ambiente sind sehr einladend.

So gemütlich, so lecker, so freundlich , wie zu Hause ❤️🙏

Nach dem Umbau war ich mit meiner Familie incl.Enkeln zu Gast. Obwohl im Nebenzimmer auch noch eine Familienfeier stattfand hatte das super freundliche und professionelle Personal alles perfekt im Griff.Seit langem auch nicht mehr so gut gegessen. Hier stimmt halt (incl.Metzgerei) Preis und Leistung zu 100%. Leider konnte ich nur 5 Sterne vergeben. "Weiter so"

Betreft een groot restaurant waar het vlees erg lekker is. Voldoende keuze van vlees en daarbij ook nog een aardige bediening. In verhouding tot andere gelegenheden in de omgeving niet de goedkoopste, maar nog steeds niet duur.

Very good food. Every time we have visited, the food has been delicious. The steaks were great and prepared properly as ordered. Enjoy having such a nice restaurant here in town.

Das Stammessen ist spitze und abwechslungsreich. Etwas teuere Gerichte sind dann auch das Geld wert und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Sonderwünsche können geäußert werden und werden, wenn möglich erfüllt oder gute Alternativen werden vorgeschlagen. Ein Besuch lohnt sich!

Wir hatten die Hochzeit unserer Tochter mit 95 Personen dort. Der Saal war groß genug dafür und das Abendbüffet war sehr gut. Auch der Service war sehr gut. Dass die Feier bis 04:00 Uhr ging machte auch keinerlei Probleme.

The food was really good, with a great deal of options. They are well behaved kid friendly and even served the children first! We went as a large group and the service was slow, but friendly.

We went here with a large group and the service was very good. They had a set menu for us and one choice was roast beef with mashed potatoes. It was so tender. Best I've had in Germany. Some of the other dishes though weren't as impressive.

We visited this establishment with very high hopes! I ordered a beef filet with onions and my husband a schnitzel. We were disappointed with the service and even more by the food. The prices far exceeded what other establishments of similar quality and atmosphere do. Would not go back.

The appetizer salad was very good,and inside the restaurant was like home atomosphere. They don't take credit card,so the chief told us to come back and pay tomorrow.lol We loved how he trust people like that! I had curry pasta at 2nd visit,it was extremely salty.I didn't like it.
