Gasthof Zum Vogelsiedler in Zwickau

Price/performance doesn't work at all. What is on the plate is the cheapest frozen food at a price that is completely overpriced for this poor quality. Since I can't respond to the reaction, then so be it. If you think that a handful of fries that were definitely frozen, a steak or four that was tiny and coarse and a few crumbs of raw food justify this price, then you should go eat somewhere else, I can happily recommend some good locations. I'm happy to pay this price but not for this. Incidentally, that was the tenor of yesterday evening, and of the others too. And yes, I can do that better. And yes, it's sad when an answer is so arrogant.

Can you eat well? I liked it, the look was good, the service was ok, everything was neat. Enough parking spaces. The price-performance ratio is no longer acceptable to me. If that doesn't bother you, you're in good hands here.

Today we went bowling and dinner. The bowling alley is very good. Technically not up to date. But serves its purpose. The salads were already prepared and some of them were a bit lumpy, just like the carpaccio and the balsamic vinegar, which were unfortunately a bit dried out on the plate. The soups were different sizes and 7€ for such a small tomato soup. Don't look in the photo. Otherwise the food was tasty. We paid with a debit card; we would have liked to have seen the bill put together before we transferred the amount. (We received the compilation after payment)

Delicious asparagus omelet with side dish. Fresh asparagus directly from the producer. Family-run restaurant. Here you can tell that cooking is done with love.

Food is good, only the portions could be a little larger for the price, but the service is friendly and competent.

Very good, I would recommend it to everyone, the finest food, we will definitely come back

Super recommended. Would love to come back.

We have been to Vogelsiedler several times recently and have received mixed reviews from our guests. The children had schnitzel with fries, unfortunately the schnitzel was not fried properly and some of the fries were unfortunately cold. Unfortunately, our guests with a steak au four have trouble with a slight rumbling stomach after eating. I had a zander fillet which was very tasty, unfortunately because the potatoes weren't hot. There was a lot going on that evening, maybe that was why. Then it's better to say no to a few guests instead of the quality suffering. Last week we were there again and not everything was perfect. One of our guests had wild goulash, unfortunately the portion size was not enough for an adult man, it was more of a senior portion. I had this chicken breast baked with tomato mozzarella and tagliatelle with it, unfortunately only half a slice of tomato was hidden under a little mozzarella and the tagliatelle were damn oily the deeper you got into the bowl, even if it was olive oil, it was still a bit "too much"! This time the children had nuggets with fries, some of the fries were cold and some were rock hard so that they jumped off the plate when they tried to bite them. I don't even want to talk about the loveless garnish on the plate (1 spoonful of grated carrot). At another table, a steak was returned in its entirety because the guest didn't like something. Conclusion: We'll be back, maybe you'll feel a change. The staff was friendly and nice, perhaps only one waitress should serve the table with drinks to avoid double bookings. When the food is served, we find the support of other colleagues helpful. Unfortunately our experiences are only worth 3 stars. There is room for improvement, work on it and maybe cancel a third, fourth, fifth party in one evening so that the quality doesn't suffer.

A large restaurant with overnight accommodation. There is also a bowling alley and a hairdresser. The service is friendly and the food came very quickly. Everything was very tasty and well prepared. The atmosphere is very modern, but also cozy.

Got a table at lunchtime despite not making a reservation. Food was plentiful and good. The waiter was on the move quickly. I liked it very much.

We went here for dinner and bowling with friends! The food itself is quite good, but the prices and portions are a joke! Prices like in a big city and the schnitzel for €18.70 in mini format! Craziness! Update: After claiming it was the wrong restaurant, we looked out the bill and oops it wasn't €18.70 but €18.50! After the wrong comment from the owner and therefore down to one star! Update 2.0: First to delete your comment with “wrong restaurant” and then to claim that the purchases are the same in Zwickau and Berlin! You probably also think that all guests don't have a plan?! A tiny schnitzel with fries for €18.50 is a joke for a city with almost 90k inhabitants! I hope that many potential guests read your nonsense and hopefully go somewhere else! And regarding her employee, if asked how the food was, hardly anyone will say too expensive! Continue to be so unreasonable! The guest is king, but apparently not with you! Update 3.0: All I have to do is look at the last negative reviews and it will be confirmed! Eating out today in Regensburg (140k inhabitants) and here a Viennese style schnitzel costs a whopping €15.90! And not in mini format!

Residential inn with a long tradition. Traditional cuisine and quick service.

Today we went here for dinner for the first time. The service was very plump and extremely attentive! The food was very tasty! We will come again.

Attentive and friendly staff, fair prices and really good food. I'm looking forward to the next visit!

Good restaurant, friendly service, food freshly prepared and tasty. There is often no space left, so book in advance if possible. We really liked it and will definitely come back.

Food is delicious, fresh ingredients are used. Special requests will be implemented. The service maintains an overview even when the guest room or bowling lounge is busy.

Totally overpriced and the food doesn't taste good

We were once again extremely satisfied with everything.

I would like to say a huge compliment on behalf of all my guests, and also a big compliment to the service staff. Kind regards, Ms. Cornelia Morgenstern from December 28, 2024 The food was very, very good. Thank you

Very nice, rustic restaurant with very good food

Nice and friendly staff, short conversation is always possible, and with a bowling alley in the basement the food is really delicious 🤗👍

This restaurant has gone extremely bad 😞. Very unfortunate. The duck was already underground last year and unfortunately again this year. For €28.50 you definitely expect a tender, juicy duck! The other guests weren't impressed with their dishes either. It's a shame, because it's actually a very cozy restaurant.

We were there as a group for dinner. The food was delicious 😋, the atmosphere was very cozy, but the service left a lot to be desired. The lady was sometimes very unfriendly and when I said goodbye to her: have a nice evening: she just said (in a snippy tone) that it was long over.

We stayed there for a family celebration. Everything is great, everything is great. Unfortunately, sleep was out of the question as there was a hall directly below our room where a big company Christmas party was taking place... with a DJ! Everything is free until 0:30 to sing and dance along. :-( After that, tables and chairs were pushed on the tiled floor until after 1:30. I would have liked another room, especially since most of them were free. Still a great house and delicious food.

The food tasted very good. We'll definitely be back.

An excellent restaurant! You can only recommend them

First time here and thrilled. Delicious. Great home cooking. Attentive service, even though the restaurant was completely full. Thank you!

A very cozy restaurant and the food is very tasty. The service was very friendly. We'd love to come back. The Berliners :)

Eating out as a society is catastrophic. Three companies in one room. Honestly, that doesn't work at all. Food, no thanks. Way too overpriced.

Since it was very full, we had to wait a while for our food. But that's just how it is when freshly cooked food is cooked. What was then served was extremely tasty 😋. Everyone loved their food!! Despite the crowd, the staff remained calm and very friendly. Thank you:-)

Very nice, friendly staff, food was good, nicely decorated

Real good and tasty cuisine. The service is very friendly, quick and attentive.

Very nice and delicious food, service and atmosphere top.

...the food is always delicious and the service is very friendly - so it's always worth a visit

Always worth a visit... This "Hackepeter" is only available here...

A really great inn that we have been coming to for many years. We always feel comfortable there and it tastes good!!! Very friendly service!! I can only recommend it

Unfortunately we were no longer convinced by our food. We noticed this on our last visit. Unfortunately, the quality of the kitchen has declined.

We were there as a group for dinner. The service was excellent and everyone's food came very quickly. The food offered was hand-cooked and really tasty. We haven't had such good quality at a very fair price (around €20-22) for a long time. The portion size is generous. Thanks alot.

We were a grieving family of 16 on October 11, 2024. The service was very friendly and the food came to everyone at the same time, which tasted very good. Despite the sad occasion, we felt in good hands.

Delicious food at a reasonable price - worth recommending.

Very nice local cheesecakes, friendly and fast service. We would love to come back!

A very pleasant climate and good service. And first the food... top...

In our opinion, the food has improved.

Clocky and cozy. But all of this comes at the expense of flexibility. You eat what is on the menu. No problem for me and the food is very good, but my companion and anyone with the smallest extra requests has to spend a long time searching on the menu or choose another restaurant.

We celebrated our wedding with the family at the vogelsiedler on July 5th, 2024 and what can we say?!? Staff top Food top (fresh and very tasty) Ambience great Definitely worth recommending, regardless of whether you're celebrating or just going out for a relaxed meal, always happy!!! And again ❤️-thank you 🤗

Great restaurant, very nice staff, plenty of food and very good, highly recommended

Everything great. Service was quick, even though everything was full. Food was great, typical home cooking. Highly recommended. We will come again.

It's wonderful and recommended to everyone

Very nice service and delicious food.

We had a high school year reunion with over 70 people. Everything was well organized and the food was very delicious. The staff was friendly and hard-working. Even when not everyone left immediately at midnight, it wasn't a problem. Everyone was able to say goodbye in peace. The restaurant is a good choice for every occasion.

Telling me when I'm paying a bill of around €800 that I'm expected to tip 10% is quite an impertinence.!!!!! Happened on 9/6/24

We had a family celebration. The buffet we ordered met all of our expectations! Very tasty and visually great. Gladly again.

Yesterday we had our 25th high school graduation reunion (Pesta class 1999) at the Gasthof zum Vogelsiedler. The food was really very good, "small" menu, great home-style dishes, no frozen junk with numbers in front of the dishes. The service staff were exactly as you would imagine as a guest, courteous and super friendly. The inn is impressive, everything is modern, well-kept and clean. I think everyone had a lot of fun and that was also due to the hospitality we were shown. If you want to celebrate something in Zwickau, with delicious food and in a relaxed atmosphere, I think this is the right place for you.

Yesterday we were guests of a party, so I won't begin to express my surprise on site. Because you don't spoil your host's celebration. First of all, I would like to say that my comments should be understood as a suggestion for positive further development and not as a personal insult. I think this is necessary, after reading other reviews, I noticed or at least I have the impression that the innkeepers find it difficult to deal with criticism respectfully and appropriately. Now to the impression, my first surprise was the Brambacher Naturell that was laid out on the table, an easy-to-open bottle, the contents with the taste for me to take home, where I drink tap water. Then there was the "table buffet", there were fried potatoes, croquettes, dumplings, red cabbage, perhaps something that was Bavarian cabbage, mixed vegetables found together, mushrooms in "sauce" and at least three meat dishes. And then came vegan three times. Truffle risotto (rice with truffle oil) with a few steamed mushrooms. There we sat, with piles of vegetables in front of us that could have been prepared so that everyone could enjoy them. We assumed that there was butter or other animal ingredients everywhere because that's how we vegans were given the food. When we asked for a second helping we were given the same portion again. Our lovely hosts trusted that after telling us and asking whether vegan food was possible, everyone would get a nice meal. I don't want to say it wasn't tasty, but maybe I didn't want mushrooms or didn't eat any, then I would have had rice. Maybe I also wanted something fried, department stores and wholesalers have really great things to offer and maybe I just wanted to decide for myself how much I wanted. There is still a lot of potential for improvement here. With interest and curiosity in food, the fun of preparing new and old plant-based dishes/recipes, and with the current variety and selection of regional products, so much more is possible. We wish the innkeepers all the best, thank you for the hospitality and the neat and clean atmosphere. Addendum: The restaurant called the hosts and complained about the recession, you just have to imagine that. The food was ordered for us in the same way, then the restaurant should work on its advisory skills, its attitude and consider whether this work is right for them.

We had a very nice family celebration at Vogelsiedler. The food was very tasty and was exactly what we agreed with the restaurant beforehand. The host also had a very tasty meal for our vegans - truffle risotto with real truffles. They liked it so much that they wanted another helping. It was a successful evening for us. We can highly recommend the restaurant and would be happy to come back.

We were invited to a table buffet. It was very plentiful and the food was very good. Our daughter had a vegetarian dish which was very tasty. The staff was courteous and fulfilled every wish. We are happy to recommend the restaurant “zum Vogelsiedler”.

The dumplings were heated in the oven and not over steam, as it should be

The food is simply great. The staff was very friendly and always on hand. A restaurant that you could only wish for.

On the occasion of the celebration of Ms. W. Richter's 75th birthday. Everything went organizationally as planned in a very satisfactory and flexible manner. Our service person Lydia was always available for all personal matters, very friendly and polite. All guests were very satisfied with the dishes they ordered a la carte, both in terms of taste and presentation. Thank you very much and gladly again. Highly recommended from us.

Food doesn't taste good here anymore, it's a waste of money

We cook every day, sometimes down-to-earth, traditional, modern or reinterpreted. Learned, copied from grandparents, parents and TV. We are happy to pay more for good food with good products. Whatever we don't cook at home should be fine. So called and booked a table. The first positive impression when entering the restaurant quickly disappeared. We were seated in a not very comfortable hall with the charm of a cafeteria. Coffered ceiling, uncomfortable, loud and uninviting. There are problems when ordering a 3-course menu. According to the staff, it is questionable whether the chef can handle it. Salad, ragout fin, 2x steaks and 1x roast lamb, 2x apple strudel with ice cream. Wine, cola, non-alcoholic beer at a fair price if the quality is right. Unfortunately that doesn't work. Steaks completely cooked through (doneness was not asked at all), pounded completely thin. The menu sequence was more bad than good. How ignorant a boss, a restaurant owner, must be to not listen to his staff. Hot apple strudel and vanilla ice cream have no place on a slate plate. The ice cream kept running onto my table. The waiter couldn't serve it properly without making a mess. Slate belongs on the roof, but not as a plate. The world keeps turning and so does gastronomy. Sorry, we were disappointed. But your service is great, friendly and funny. We hope you don't delete the review. Get food for thought, e.g. from “My Local, Your Local”. Best regards

We went to an event at Vogelsiedler with a lot of people. The food was great, the service was really great and the atmosphere was lovingly designed. We felt very comfortable and welcome.

We celebrated our daughters starting school there in the club room. The positive first, the food was really great and filling, the ambience was very good. Communication with the cellars was also good if you had a concern. Now the negative, in the cost estimate provided by the presumably. The main waitress cost almost €800 for the entire buffet. But then almost 50% more was calculated. The reason given was that given the price it should have been clear that it wasn't enough. Then you can save yourself the cost estimate. And then maybe the boss should do something like that and not the waitress. It started at 3 p.m., we had agreed in advance that we would get the cake and deliver it in the morning. When the guests arrived at 3 p.m., nothing was prepared except the table decorations. We then waited 20 minutes until the cake was in the room and they asked for coffee. This should have been prepared. Two waiters were hired for our company who were siblings, which later turned out. Totally irrelevant in itself, if it hadn't been for the fact that the two of them were constantly pissing each other off in front of the guests and the bar wasn't working well. That is not how it works. In summary, one has to say that the food was really great, but the preparation and service couldn't keep up. You have to improve that.

Food was OK, prices good, directions good, ambience and decor inn 90s. Service a bit overwhelmed but still OK

We have been guests several times now and have been thrilled every time. The food is great. The dishes are always very lovingly prepared and definitely worth the price. The range of drinks is varied and the in-house limoncello as well as the wines from Villa Geissini are very tasty. The entire team is very friendly and does a great job. We feel very comfortable there and would love to come back.

The food was delicious, friendly service, afterwards we went bowling, we were all happy. Thanks to the Vogelsiedler team

Today we had dinner with seven people. A lot of things would have to be changed when preparing the food, which we also discussed on site, but unfortunately only with the service because the chef is home at 8 p.m., even though the kitchen closes at 8:30 p.m. according to the menu. I had chanterelle cream soup...it was far too thick with flour...more like porridge Then we had boiled potatoes with dill sauce and fried pike-perch with cucumber salad...a suggestion to the kitchen.. The breaded fish was put back into a dill sauce that was much too thick. You could serve it in a gravy boat... then stir the dill into the sauce just before serving... gray dill sauce doesn't look appetizing and is therefore It has also been kept warm for a while......and then perhaps serve the cucumber salad, which is served in a glass bowl, separately and not put it on the plate in the sauce. And what I also think is bad is that you get an ice cream sundae served on a warm plate.

All in all, a thoroughly successful evening. Food excellent. Service excellent. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with the speed either. We'd love to come back.

Very nice and competent staff, nice atmosphere, very good food, as well as the drinks, absolutely recommended, we would like to come back

Food good, ambience good, value for money good. Dare, check it out.😄

Mediocre cuisine and rude staff. Never again

Nice beer garden and nice service from Mr. Hatrani. The lantern maker from Zwickau.

Well, on the one hand, you have to know. Had reserved a table for 7 people. In the end there were 10 of us. I called again beforehand and it was possible without any problems. Despite there being a lot of hustle and bustle, the drinks and food came really quickly. Price-performance was great, staff friendly. Gladly again

A very nice restaurant with a terrace and playground for the children. The map is very diverse. When we were there on a Sunday it was very crowded. The kitchen took a while (1.5 hours) to bring us very good tasting food.

The main course took a little longer, but the taste was worth the wait.

The good food made up for the slightly longer wait 😊👍

We had dinner here years ago. There was actually nothing to complain about back then. Meanwhile, prices have risen sharply (like everywhere). Unfortunately I can't say the same about the quality of the food. The boiled beef was dry and absolutely tasteless, the horseradish sauce was unfortunately only called that and the dumplings shared their sad fate with the boiled beef and were almost overcooked. The sauerkraut wasn't to my taste - but okay, everyone prepares it a little differently. All in all, I have to agree with some of the reviewers - unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right.

A room with breakfast, friendly staff on site who welcomed us and showed us the room. Lunch, ordered an omelette with asparagus and steak au four, tasted very good, price-performance ratio was good. Breakfast the next morning was very generous, during which we had a nice friendly conversation with the staff and management. And my husband got a taste for it here. He bought another bottle of Emill. We would like to give even more stars. We'll definitely be back. Kind regards Jörg and Steffi

At our last class reunion in April, we had a lot of fun and were also very well looked after! Large selection of food and drinks! Small criticism of the food, but it's a matter of taste! Would recommend it again and again! Many greetings to the staff and many thanks from me (🇩🇰) and my class!

We recommend, nice staff and the food tastes excellent

Top restaurant, thank you for the good hospitality

We got to know this restaurant on an Easter trip with friends. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and value for money. Can only be recommended! We'd love to come back again.

We were there for the Easter meeting with our Alfa Family things. Food was very good and very friendly staff.

As an excursion restaurant, the Vogelsiedler is a real treasure in a great location, with a warm atmosphere and is the perfect place to enjoy delicious German cuisine. The large selection of food and drinks leaves nothing to be desired and spoils you with many homemade specialties. The service in the inn is very attentive, extremely committed and radiates a warm friendliness that makes the stay a great experience for the whole family. Both young and old are welcomed here with open arms and feel right at home here.

Only recommended!!! Very tasty and very good portions. Friendly staff so all in all I can only recommend it.

Class reunion was really great. Great food and nice, dedicated service. Recommended at any time.

We spent a wonderful evening there, everything was perfect, from the food to the service to the friendliness of the staff

Enjoy your meal . Price performance is right. Friendly staff. Restaurant is recommended

We were there on Sunday, despite the full “hut”, great service, delicious food. In short, a successful trip.

Fantastic cuisine, courteous service staff and an extra compliment especially to the service-oriented managing directors.👍💯 We celebrated a big birthday here. I made contact in advance via the app and also by phone, everything was perfect to organize this special birthday. As regular customers, we were also able to rate an improvement in service and the kitchen as positive. Despite full reservations, the managing directors ensured a perfect and customer-oriented service. I would like to thank you very much again at this point. It was a very nice evening for all invited guests. We would be happy to come back to enjoy more beautiful moments with friends and neighbors of the settlement. Many greetings from sunny Spain🌞😉

Inn that is a bit old with its 90s style. Staff is very friendly. Some of the food is a bit too expensive for the quality. You can be lucky or unlucky, sometimes it tastes good, sometimes not so much. Last time a mustard sauce turned out quite flaky.

Yesterday we had a very nice and pleasant evening at Vogelsiedler. The staff was attentive and friendly and responded very well to our special requests regarding food (intolerances). The whole family enjoyed the meal, big compliments to the kitchen. Even the boss personally came to our table and asked if everything was okay. A big compliment to the entire team. We thank you for your hospitality and look forward to the upcoming celebrations in your house.

At the beginning no drinks menu was served, you didn't know what was available. Small portions, no eggnog for the Swedish cup on Saturday. Often there were questions about drinks, which were ordered by other tables and could not be assigned. Prices regionally high for the performance

Heute wieder sehr gut gegessen. Haben Rouladen mit Klösen und Rotkohl bestellt...vorzüglich. Nette Bedienung 👍rundum zufrieden. Danke...bis zum nächsten Mal

Meine Familie und ich waren am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag zum Mittagessen im Vogelsiedler. Sehr aufmerksamer freundlicher Service, erstklassige Speisen und Getränke. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Vielen Dank!

Das Restaurant an sich sieht von inne sehr gut aus. Allerdings ist sowohl der Service, als auch das Essen absolut schlecht. Das Essen ist absolut ungenießbar gewesen, das Medium Steak ist eine Schuhsohle und dies wird vom Koch nicht anerkannt. Es ist keine Einsicht erkennbar. Absolut keine keine Empfehlung für dieses schlechte Restaurant!!!

✅Nachtrag zum spontanes Mittagsessen am 21.06.2023 im Biergarten ✅stattlicher Preis pro Teller ✅wir bestellten Sauerbraten mit Klößen und Rotkraut, Rinderroulade mit Klößen und Rotkraut, überbackenes Steak "au four"mit Pommes dazu ein Salat mit Dressing und als Beilage Wickelklöße ✅ Preis-Leistung 5 von 10 ✅Geschmack 5 von 10 ✅Atmosphäre im Biergarten 8 von 10

Gute Küche, aufmerksames Personal.

Waren erst bowlen. 2 Bahnen im Keller. Gemütlich und klein, für Feiern Klasse geeignet. Danach essen im Restaurant. Sehr zu empfehlen, lecker essen. 👍

Leckere, vielseitige Speisen und Getränke. Ein gemütliches Ambiente und sehr engagierter Service! Definitiv empfehlenswert!
