Gaststätte Kauzeneck in Oberhof

We actually didn't have any bad memories of the Kauzeneck in Oberhof. However, we didn't go in, we just drank mulled wine beforehand. During our short vacation in Oberhof this year we wanted to have something nice to eat in the Kauzeneck. According to the exhibitor, the offer sounded very promising. So come on, I thought, go by early in the evening and reserve a table. “We don’t make reservations here,” was the very harsh answer. Well, okay, happened. So around 7:00 p.m. we set off on the chance. Into the corner and politely asked for a table. "We don't have a free table" - it sounded just as rudely as when I asked, 90 minutes before. There was a table behind me with a standee RESERVED! Oh well, I thought! I politely asked what was wrong with this table - "...I thought they didn't reserve?" “I need the table” - it sounded in the already familiar harsh tone! I'm really not being petty, but hospitality is something different! Something completely different!

We stayed in Oberhof for two days. One evening we spontaneously walked here. We ate here a few years ago and have fond memories of everything. This time too we were greeted warmly and had free choice of seats. The veranda is wonderfully cozy. There is enough space. We ordered two large black beers, one roulade with dumplings and orange red cabbage and one game goulash with dumplings and orange red cabbage. The drinks were served quickly. We had to wait a reasonable amount of time for the food. We love home cooking and that's what we serve here. The roulade was tender, flavorful and very tasty. The game goulash was also well cooked and very tasty. The dumplings weren't too big, light and went well with the rest. The red cabbage tasted less like orange than expected, but that's not a bad thing. It was still very fitting. There was enough sauce on both plates. We ate everything. The restaurant was filling up more and more. Then we each treated ourselves to a herbal schnapps from Thuringia, which was not too sweet but also tasty. There was also nothing to complain about in terms of prices. The toilets were clean. The entire time the service was absolutely fine. We say thank you.

The service was friendly and the Rostbrätl is absolutely amazing!

It was super tasty, very friendly staff... Price/performance ++++++++

Small clocky restaurant Small menu, but what's on it tastes great We recommend Gladly again

Nette Bedienung! Ratz- Fatz! Alle gehen zum Waldschrat, aber hier ist es auch gut! Rinderrouladen - sehr gut! Klare Empfehlung!

Food hot and tasty. We'd love to come back

Nice service, very tasty at a good price. Small cozy restaurant.

The restaurant is rustic and cozy. We felt welcome straight away. The food was excellent and the service was very, very friendly. Thank you for the lovely evening, the delicious food, the drinks and the conversations. Always my pleasure.

Das Restaurant ist schön und gemütlich. Wir haben uns gleich willkommen gefühlt. Das Essen war ausgezeichnet und die Bedienung sehr sehr freundlich. Danke für den schönen Abend, das leckere Essen , die Getränke und die Gespräche. Immer wieder gerne.

We were warmly welcomed and were able to choose one of the available seats. The staff is attentive and friendly. The ambience was rustic and pleasantly cozy. The food (Thuringian cuisine) tasted delicious and authentic. The dumplings were a poem. It's nice that dogs are not allowed indoors.

It's a nice rustic restaurant, with good traditional cuisine, the staff was great and the food was very tasty. We had a wonderful evening there.

Unfortunately the food is not fresh. Quite a lot of TK. Too long waiting times. Service friendly, but cares little about the guests.

Quaint little restaurant with delicious Thuringian style food...Staff was very friendly and available for a chat and the food was really very tasty...we'll definitely see each other again next time...

Small, cozy restaurant with very tasty food. Staff is friendly and very quick. Unfortunately there aren't many of them left. We stayed longer than planned and didn't regret it. Highly recommended.

Thuringian cuisine, as you would expect, Unfortunately the innkeepers want to stop for reasons of age. I hope there is a successor who can and wants to continue the quality of the restaurant.

Really great and quaint little restaurant. Very traditional and simple. There aren't many dishes on the menu, but there are incredibly tasty 👍 delicious beers and very friendly service. I can really only recommend it 👍

Ich lese TripAdvisor, aber ich schreibe normalerweise keine Bewertungen. Aber das kauzeneck verdient es, gerade aufgrund der vielen negativen Bewertungen, dass ich schreibe. Es war ein sensationell schöner Abend! Großartiges, frisches regionales Essen. Super sympathische, aufmerksame und aufgeschlossene Bedienung. Rundum top!

Beautiful, rustic restaurants with delicious food and friendly staff. The prices are completely okay.

It gets very crowded after 6:30 p.m., so it's best to arrive beforehand. Price performance was okay. I can recommend it

Very nicely and simply furnished, service is very accommodating, helpful and friendly. The food (Jägerschnitzel) was super tasty, value for money was completely okay. We will stop here again on our next visit to Oberhof.

The restaurant is shabby and uncomfortable. Food average. Service super unfriendly. There are better alternatives in town.

The service was unfriendly and she also reacted harshly when other guests asked about the Rennsteig. Well-known guests, however, received exuberant hugs. The food came quickly and was well seasoned, but carelessly prepared. We ordered without creamed mushrooms, but the food came without any sauce. You could have reacted, it was just dry. Unfortunately, the meat was also hard, the only choice was croquettes or fries, which is a shame because Thuringians are actually better at it. In general we cannot recommend the restaurant at all.

Unfriendly service who insulted everyone when it was (in their opinion) too loud. And told everyone about their illnesses (surgery). Horrible

Absolutely great and authentic Thuringian restaurant. The food was excellent and the service was warm in a cozy, rustic atmosphere.

Unfortunately we can't say anything about the ambience or the food, because we didn't get that far. We were treated so rudely at the entrance because we had a dog with us that we didn't even get that far. That is not how it works. I can understand if someone doesn't want dogs in their restaurant, it could be an allergy or fear or no matter why, but the lady came up and down almost like a fury and threw us out. So... if you're planning on going there with a dog, don't do it!

Very nice service, exceptionally good, hearty food. We liked it, we would like to come back.

The food is very tasty, but the service is very serious

Good restaurant with nice staff. Good down-to-earth, local food. The only thing that bothers me is that there is hardly anything for vegetarians. But everyone enjoyed it and little extra requests were also fulfilled. Definitely worth a second visit.

Food very good and sufficient. You can visit again and again

Very nice service and a super delicious meal made us have a great time here.

Luckily, a very rainy event gave us some lovely hours in the Kauzeneck. The regional cuisine fascinated us in a nostalgic atmosphere and had a very positive influence on our short vacation. Thank you! If we come to Oberhof again, we will definitely come to you!

Das Kauzeneck gehört für uns zu einer Reise nach Oberhof unbedingt dazu, wenn wir authentisch essen wollen. Hier sieht es halt nicht aus wie in Tirol oder in der Toskana. Und deswegen fahre ich nach Thüringen. Das Essen ist lokal und lecker. Die Bedienung ist sehr freundlich ohne viel Chichi.

Some time ago we stood in front of the restaurant, a little undecided. A lady told us that the best Thuringian dumplings are here. And we were not disappointed. The cooking here is really tasty. The atmosphere is cozy and the service is very courteous and friendly. The view of the garden is also very nice. Whenever we are in Oberhof, we always look forward to a visit here. The Kauzeneck is now a must for us when we visit Oberhof if we want to eat authentically.

Cozy restaurant with good price-performance ratio. Food and service top! Had the Thuringian Rostbrätl with homemade potato salad 👍

Urig, lokal und super sympathisch, kann das Wild und den Germknödel wärmstens empfehlen.

Am ersten Urlaubstag kennen gelernt. Tolle Gaststätte und Bedienung.

Service perfekt, Essen sehr lecker 😋.. Fam. Heckel

For the potential foreign guests here in English: A hidden restaurant a bit backwards from the main street. Quite rustical but original ambiente. Clear recommendation to go for Soljanka as a starter - a wunderfol original taste I missed long time. But also the venison meals are delicious with the dumblings.

Sehr angenehmes Ambiente und sehr gutes Essen (Rostbrätl mit hausgemachten Kartoffelsalat) Einfach lecker!

Super leckeres Essen nette Bedienung und Service. Komme gern wieder.

Sehr leckeres Essen , sehr freundliches Personal

Gemütlich und das Essen ist sehr gut.

Insgesamt ein wenig ‚ostig‘, dafür aber eine sehr gute, bürgerliche Küche!!! Definitiv einen Besuch wert!!! Die Roulade mit thüringischer Klößen ist unfassbar gut.

Wenn man eine urige regionale Gaststätte sucht, dann ist das Kautzeneck genau richtig. Das Essen ist super lecker, die beiden Damen in der Bedienung und am Tresen total nett, man kommt schnell ins Gespräch. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt , danke an die Damen, macht weiter so. Conny&Andrea

Super leckere Thüringer Speisen frische Salate , das Personal ist sehr freundlich und gibt tipps für die Umgebung wir kommen wieder

Wir sind hier spontan eingekehrt. Es gibt gut bürgerliche Gerichte zu fairen Preisen - kein Schnickschnack. Menge und Qualität waren absolut zufriedenstellend.

Nettes Personal, gutes Essen. Zügige Bedienung. Ambiente im thüringischen Stil, was sehr selten geworden ist. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Keine vielen Reservierungen. Danke nochmal an dieses Restaurant

Eng, Service ist naja, Essensauswahl ist klein und nichts besonderes.

War spontan zum Essen dort ,wurde auch als Alleinreisende freundlich begrüßt, Essen war sehr gut, Ambiente gemütlich. Empfehlenswert! Da das Lokal keine Reservierung macht ist es ratsam nicht zu den Stosszeiten zu kommen.

Sehr gute Schnitzel. Die Portion hätte größer sein können.

Eine sehr schöne Lokalität, das Essen ist sehr lecker, wir haben vieles ausprobiert. Alles frisch zubereitet. Gute deutsche Küche : Ente, Rouladen, Sülze, Rostbrätel u. v. m. Trotzdem geht es schnell. Gute Atmosphäre. Es grüßt Bad Gottleuba, Familie Neumann /Kutschebauch

Wir waren vor paarJahren schon einmal hier essen (Kurzurlaub) und ich finde es sehr bemerkenswert, dass man der guten Thüringer Hausmannkost treu geblieben ist. Hier wird selbst gekocht.... Rotkohl geschnippelt gegart, fein abgeschmeckt, die Roulade handgewickelt mit Speck, Zwiebel und Gürkchen gefüllt....so wie sich das für eine Thüringer Küche gehört. Die Klösse "de Hüts" absolut klasse. Hausmannskost mit Liebe gekocht wie frührer von meiner Oma.... das Restaurant kann ich nur empfehlen. Sehr aufmerksame nette Bedienung und was für mich den Besuch abrundete.... lecker Thüringer Küche mit Hintergrundmusik von Herbert Roth. Hier ist die Welt in Ordnung, wir kommen sehr gerne wieder. :)

Die Küche ist einfach PERFEKT, das Personal ebenfalls. Wenn ich in Oberhof bin, dann nur ins Kauzeneck.

Gutes Essen für einen angemessenen Preis. Kann ich mit ruhigem Gewissen empfehlen .

Mmmmmh.... Ente, Wildgulasch, Roulade... zum niederknien. Super lecker mit Thüringer Klösse und Rotkohl. Es geht NICHT besser. Urigen Ambiente. Im September sollte man sich 1 mtr. Schnee vorstellen, dann wird es perfekt.

Ottima cucina della Turingia a prezzi adeguati.

Guter Service, frisch gekochte, wohlschmeckende Thüringer Gerichte.
