Gaststätte Zum Anker in Dossenheim

Delicious food and pleasant atmosphere

I don't like the restaurant at all. The way customer reviews are handled here leaves me speechless.

If you can't handle criticism, have reviews deleted! Lipstick on the glass, hot chocolate only half full and then criticism is deleted as "slander". Thanks for nothing, never again!

Very nice place for a wheat beer or wine spritzer! Good fries. Edited 2024: the new tenants are not doing a good job, the quality of food and service has suffered greatly. We'll wait and see if there will be new tenants there again next summer!

Sehr enttäuschend. Toilette in einem katastrophalen Zustand. Aufwärmkost unmöglich. Das kann ich mir auch zu Hause selbst in den Ofen schieben. Kein Vergleich mehr zum vorherigen Betreiber.

Very nice beer garden. Service slow. No special requests (fried potatoes instead of fries). Sausage salad terribly sour without any other seasoning.

Schöner Biergarten, kurz eingekehrt um 2 Riesling Schorle gross (0.5l) zu trinken. Schon klar, dass man inzwischen 5 Euro aufwärts dafür bezahlen muss ... aber 7.90€ ... mir fehlen die Worte, zumal die Schorle von der Qualität her eher unterdurchschnittlich war. Tja, hätten wir mal vorher hier Bewertungen gelesen ... "Augen auf beim Käsekauf"

By far the worst and most disgusting restaurant I've ever been to. There was a dead fly on the table when we were seated, we had to ask three times for cutlery, the food took forever, the dining room was cold and dirty. The food arrived late and was only lukewarm, the tarte flambée was dry and the fries were completely over salted. There was still an old sauce stain on the wall next to our table and a completely dirty rag hanging over the counter (see picture). 1 star is still far too much here. Absolute impudence! Never never never again!

There are defects on a bench and a table outside that could lead to injuries. When we visited on Sunday, the service was mediocre, tried hard but relatively neutral and inattentive. Eating, with smaller dishes... Hand cheese with music Cooking cheese bread the portion is very manageable. The guest has to order more bread because only a small slice was offered. I can't judge what normal food is like, so no rating

Basically, it is a nice restaurant that impresses with its beer garden right on the Neckar. Unfortunately, the current tenant has no customer or service awareness at all. The dining room was cold. The reason we were told was that the heating didn't turn on because of the outside sensor, which can be regulated if you want to make your guests happy. The food took an extremely long time (> 45 minutes), came very late so that we couldn't really eat together and was unfortunately lukewarm, although the taste was quite good. When we asked, we were treated very unfriendly. Our comment that toilet paper and towels were missing in the toilet was also commented on by saying that he already knew how to run his business. Overall, the restaurant cannot be recommended at all. We very much hope that another tenant will come soon. We used to go there often as a large group of 15 - 20 people, which also brings in a lot of sales, but we'd rather save ourselves the trip now.

The place and food is really good but service was sadly bad. They forgot one order and another dietary requirement and we were the only customers at that time.

Sorry der allerletzte Sauladen , überteuert , freches Personal und schmutzig noch dazu....eine kleine Rieslingschorle mit Toten Wasser und Billigwein 5,9 € und das im schmutzigen Glas

The last shop...small dead Riesling spritzer (cheap wine) for €5.9 and in a dirty glass, the service is still discussing in an unfriendly tone...I'm actually not surprised by these owners

You sit well and unfortunately that's about it. We gave it a second chance here, but unfortunately we were disappointed again. The service is a disaster, takes forever, food is cold and goodbye.

Expensive drink prices for beer and unspecial wine, in a not necessarily cozy atmosphere. Hand cheese costs €10 and was slightly sour and fell apart because it was left in for days. Too expensive for the quality offered.

Unfortunately I'm disappointed and won't be coming back. The hot chocolate is served in glasses: over half of the glass is milk foam. If you stir it, the glass is immediately half empty. I then took my tea back to the waiter because there was still a lipstick mark on the glass - but I'm sure that the tea was just emptied into another glass and served to me again (the tea was no longer hot and was already as steeped as it was the one I let go back).

Very tasty and service was great

Nach langer Zeit wollten wir Mal wieder herkommen. Wir bestellen 3 unterschiedliche Speisen. Schlimmer kann es in keiner Kantine sein.Alles unterirdisch. Alleine die Getränke waren in Ordnung.Schade, aber nie wieder.

Hello :-) I discovered this place by chance and wanted to eat there with friends on Saturday, before the HD castle lighting. Absolutely worst idea of ​​mine! The highlight was the view into the kitchen. We all needed a drink to combat the nausea.

After a long time in the Schwabenheimer Hof, I was now inn Zum Anker. Noticeably few guests for Sunday afternoon. Ordering the drinks worked normally. After more than 15 minutes, the waitress came and asked us if we wanted to order anything else. Food came after a while. Food is not hot but already cooled down. Discovered in the hair of the fries. All tables completely dirty. We observed how the table at the neighboring table, where new guests were already sitting, was "wiped" with two short wipers. Napkins from previous guests remained on the floor. Prices for apple juice spritzer 4.60 shandy 5.20. Food is absolutely overpriced. It's a shame about the great location. Check back in 10 years.

We were invited to a wedding here as guests. The food was good. Unfortunately, far too little. For several guests. We left partly hungry. Service was very weak. Drinks came very late or not at all. Sometimes double or triple. Our table wasn't cleared until we left. So everything was on our table from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. and it wasn't very pleasant. Otherwise it was a pleasant atmosphere outside.

We waited 15 minutes for service. Apple strudel was still frozen and only came after the coffee had already been drunk. Nobody knows how sweet a Riesling spritzer should taste. All in all, unfortunately not recommended

Wir kamen mit der Fahrradgruppe von Ludwigshafen nach Heidelberg an dem schönen Biergarten vorbei. Das Ambiente hat uns zur Rast eingeladen. Der Biergarten war gut besucht. Die Getränkebestellung war schnell abgewickelt und mit dem Essen hat es auch gut geklappt. Wir hatten unterschiedliche Gerichte bestellt und jeder war mit der Portion und dem Geschmack zufrieden.

We were away yesterday, very nice location and a nice terrace. The service was very friendly, the tarte flambée was also good, just a bit cold. The prices were OK, but all the negative comments are not entirely understandable.

The location is wonderful, the food is delicious and the tenants are very accommodating. Always enjoy coming here.

Not particularly good service. The salad is overpriced, the hand cheese is good. By farmer's bread I mean something different. For me, the mixed bread was out of the bag. It used to be always full here, but today there were only a few tables occupied. I can understand that after today's experience I won't be going there anymore

OK for drinking. Food overpriced

Very nice here, friendly staff, fast service.

Service was subpar, wine spritzer was more like sweet sparkling water. The sausage salad was okay.

We were there at lunchtime today. The location is very good. You sit there quietly and, depending on your space, you can look out over the Neckar. The service is very friendly and okay. It's not a long wait, but you get the feeling that the food is freshly prepared. The food itself is okay, nothing special but suitable for a beer garden. A lot can be said about the price-performance ratio after the Corona special VAT regulation and the high inflation last year, but that generally applies to many pubs and restaurants.

Actually a nice place, but unfortunately the service, price and quality are not up to par here. The farmer's spritzer came in the wrong glass, was far too little and warm, and when you asked that you would like some ice for your drink you only received a grumbling response. The waitress sat next to the entrance and was busy with his cell phone, calls and waves were skillfully ignored. Food was cold, drinks were warm and the service was subpar, that's my conclusion. It's a shame, I remembered the location much better from before.

I can't say anything about the food, except that my mother's apple strudel tasted very good. Unfortunately that was the only thing. All the chairs, the table and even the menus are covered in “little dots” better known as fly droppings. Some people probably know it from the window frame at home. Judging by the number, the table and chairs are almost never wiped down. And if so, the cloth must be dry. I had already suspected it, when I got home I saw that I had smeared all over my clothes in the area where I was leaning my back against the back of the chair - with fly droppings. I had only worn the T-shirt twice!

We were kayaking on the Neckar and stopped by spontaneously. It was a Saturday afternoon (5 p.m.), beautiful weather, and so we were surprised that there was very little going on. The beer garden is very nice. A tree and a high hedge provide some tables with natural shade, the remaining tables are shaded with umbrellas. We were served immediately, which wasn't difficult given the few guests. We ate sausage salad with bread. The sausage salad was really good, could have been a little more, but okay as a snack. Instead of the advertised farmer's bread, mixed bread was served, but it was okay and sufficient. A few minutes after the food was served, I would have liked to order a small pilsner, but then unfortunately there was no waiter in sight. It took quite a while until I finally got my second drink. All in all, everything was okay, what really struck me negatively were the high prices considering a beer garden on a repatriate farm. €3.90 for a small Pils, €6 - €7 for 0.2l wine, €30 for a trout with potatoes if you also order a salad. These are prices like those in Heidelberg's old town - and at Schwabenheimer Hof. Conclusion: Rustic excursion restaurant in the country, but prices like in the big city. Oh yes, something else I wanted to mention - I'm a fan of wine and beer culture: In a rural restaurant in a wine region, it would be nice if you could at least get a real "quarter" for the high price of the glass. And the 0.3 Pilsner can be served in a Pilsner glass - and not in a small export glass. If you're going to charge prices like the big ones, you should also maintain style.

Hello everyone, My girlfriend and I were very hungry after a long walk and passed the country inn to anchor in the dark. The nice people were actually about to close, but they made us two fantastic tarte flambées. So many thanks to the nice, courteous team. Be sure to come back during opening hours. 🫶🏼

Nice place to visit. Food and drink okay so far. Service staff were completely overwhelmed. Far too long waiting times. Reacted to criticism very unprofessionally. I would stay here again, but unfortunately the service staff made it miserable for me. Very unfortunate. Addendum: Thanks for the personal "comment" from the owner of the location. It really shows professionalism to respond to criticism with a smiley. ;)

We wanted to spend a pleasant afternoon in a beer garden when the weather was nice and remembered that you used to be able to eat very well at anchor and enjoy the surroundings. But apparently the tenant has changed recently. First you were ignored for ages, neither of the two service staff brought you the card. When asked, it was finally brought. We voted quickly, but no one came to the table for about 20 minutes afterwards. When we made ourselves known again, one waiter pushed the order onto the other, who in turn took 10 minutes. After a long wait, our food finally arrived. It was just cooked cheese with bread (1 bowl about the size of your hand and 1.5 small slices of bread. For 8.90. Probably from the plastic package and 2 mixed salads with huge lettuce leaves). In terms of taste, it was a zero price. Drinks were forgotten again and were only brought when asked. We also noticed how another guest who wanted to change something later in his order was contacted. I can't change that anymore, I've already entered that. Go into the kitchen and say you are from table xy and say whatever you want. Incredible. When it comes to service, one person doesn't know what the other is doing and so they walk around haphazardly, people are constantly asking people at different tables with food in their hands if they ordered that by chance and then they run away confused again. Sorry, that used to be a top beer garden, but no one needs that. A real shame! Maybe again with the next tenant...

Nice to sit but the service was completely overwhelmed. Constantly coming to our table with the wrong food. Then just one meal. The other one took another 10 minutes longer... very weak.

Yesterday we stopped again with our bikes and were very satisfied. The trout and the specially ordered salad were fresh and tasty. However, we think 24.90 euros for the trout with butter/horseradish and triplets is too high. After trying it, we understood the difference between farmer's spritzer and wine spritzer 😆. The Servive was very nice but overwhelmed and we had to wait a long time for drinks. Nevertheless we will come back

Wir wollten bei schönem Wetter einen gemütlichen Nachmittag in einem Biergarten verbringen und erinnerten uns daran, dass man früher zum Anker sehr gut essen und die Umgebung genießen konnte. Aber scheinbar hat seit einiger Zeit wohl der Pächter gewechselt. Erst wurde man ewig ignoriert, keiner der beiden Servicekräfte brachte einem die Karte. Auf Nachfrage wurde sie dann endlich gebracht. Wir hatten zügig gewählt, aber danach kam ca 20 min keiner mehr an den Tisch. Als wir uns wieder bemerkbar machten, schob der eine Kellner die Bestellung auf den anderen, der wiederum 10 min brauchte. Nach längerer Wartezeit kam dann endlich unser Essen. Es war nur Kochkäse mit Brot(1 Schüssel gen handtellergross und 1.5 kleine Scheiben Brot. Für 8.90.Vermutlich aus der Plasikpackung und 2 gemischter Salat mit riesigen Salatblättern) Geschmacklich ne Nullnumner. Getränke wurden wieder vergessen und wurden nur auf Nachfrage gebracht. Wir bekamen auch mit, wie ein anderer Gast, der etwas nachträglich an seiner Bestellung ändern wollte angepampt wurde, das kann ich nicht mehr ändern, das hab ich schon eingegeben. Gehen Sie rein in die Küche und sagen Sie sie sind von Tisch xy und sagen was Sie wollen. Unglaublich. Beim Service weiß der eine nicht, was der andere macht und so planlos laufen sie auch rum, ständig wird an verschiedenen Tischen mit Essen in der Hand gefragt, ob man zufällig das bestellt hatte und läuft wieder verwirrt weg. Sorry, das war mal ein Top Biergarten, aber das braucht kein Mensch. Wirklich schade! Vielleicht beim nächsten Pächter wieder...

One star is already too much, I had reserved for 2 people, I had the feeling on the phone that they weren't very happy about the customers... friendly is different! And then we stood in front of locked doors, with no indication of an emergency or anything like that Then there would have been understanding, but never again under these tenants! We then found a very good restaurant that is happy to welcome guests!

Stark überhöhte Getränkepreise , reduzierte Speisekarte mit Qualitätseinbussen, trotz schönem Biergarten, direkt am Neckar gelegen, werden wir diesen nicht mehr besuchen. Und selbstverständlich auch nicht mehr weiter empfehlen. Es war ein Lieblingsort von uns! EB und WB

Food took a long time and was cold. Beer garden is very nice.

Friendly and helpful service. Very tasty trout, fantastic location. We've been enjoying coming here for years.

Delicious food, nice hospitality

Nice beer garden to relax in, so bring some time with you😁. Nice bike - stopover.

Nice atmosphere, delicious food, courteous service

Thank you! Everything was very delicious! See you soon!

Nice place overlooking the Neckar. Shared a salad with chicken strips with my sister, exactly what we were looking for as a snack. Enjoyed a Heidelberger Weizen sitting out in the sun

Nice outdoor area, very friendly staff. We'd love to come back on sunny days 👍😊🌞

Despite the great location on the old Neckar and a beautiful beer garden, I cannot recommend the inn. The service is very overwhelmed and if I, as a guest, have to be insulted when paying the bill, that is simply outrageous given the prices for drinks. Attention, the Weißherbst spritzer is not a farmer's spritzer as listed on the menu, but costs 7.90 EURO!!!! In the future I'll take my own drinks with me and look for a place on the Neckar. It's just a shame..... The next thing we hear is that the guests are staying away (see also other bad reviews here) and that such an inn business is going down the drain because of it.... Very unfortunate.

Very tasty and very good service. Asparagus very tender. We will be back.

Everything's great, always happy to come back👍

In the last 3 years I've been there 3 times, Every time the owner mentioned that the credit card reader was on order and would take 6 weeks to arrive!! In any case, this place is not honest. Only want cash payment, i.e. I was never there!!!

Food and drink were good but expensive.

Trotz der tollen Lage am alten Neckar und einem schönen Biergarten, kann ich das Gasthaus nicht weiterempfehlen. Der Service ist sehr überfordert und wenn ich mich dann auch noch als Gast beim Begleichen der Rechnung anpampen lassen muss, ist das bei diesen Getränkenpreise einfach nur unverschämt. Achtung die Weißherbstschorle ist keine Bauernschorle wie in der Karte aufgeführt, sondern kostet 7,90 EURO !!!! Da nehm ich mir doch in Zukunft meine Getränke selbst mit und such mir ein Plätzchen am Neckar. Einfach nur schade..... Nächstes wird dann gejammert, dass die Gäste wegbleiben ( siehe auch weitere schlechte Bewertungen hier) und so ein Gasthausbetrieb deswegen den Bach runtergeht.... Sehr bedauerlich.

Great restaurant with very good food 👍😃🤗

Nice place and delicious tarte flambée. Wine spritzer at 8 euros is a little more expensive.

The food was good but it took way too long.

It used to be our family-friends number 1 go-to restaurant/beer garden. It's been an absolute disaster since the change of tenant. Service, food, hygiene underground. So bitter - it's actually a really great stain.

Pleasant beer garden with friendly service

Frittierte Papierschnitzel und furztrocken nee danke nie wieder ist leider trotz guter Lage nicht wirklich zu empfehlen

Beer garden on the bike path - delicious beers 🚲

Great owner and delicious food!

The espresso in particular is great

Very cozy atmosphere, whether inside or outside! I come here regularly and can only recommend it!! The service is more than top! <3

Lousy food, poor service, cold rooms with doors constantly open and high, unreasonable prices. I've experienced a lot but this was by far the biggest letdown.

Unterirdisch schlechtes Essen zu überteuerten Preisen!Miserabler Service!Kalte Gasträume!Spargel ungenießbar mit billigstem Schinken und ungeschälten,dreckigen Kartoffeln!

Subterranean bad food at totally overpriced prices with miserable service! Never again!!

Location very nicely located on the Neckar. The waitresses were a bit forgetful. Unfortunately no card payment possible due to a 'technical defect'

Food was great, waiter was very nice, I can only recommend it.

Great atmosphere, very relaxed, the food came quickly and was very tasty and fresh!

The Odenwald fish was super tasty 😋

Schöne Lage, schöner Biergarten, hartes Schnitzel, der Spargel von der Farbe eher grau, zerfiel von selbst. Ich habe ihn reklamiert und habe eine neue Portion bekommen mit identischer Qualität, unterirdisch. Es gab einen Preisnachlass, aber das nützt dann auch nichts. Die Hollandaise bei der ersten Portion ausgeflockt. Die Uneinsichtigkeit in die Kritik war schon beeindruckend

Very friendly and understanding! The food is very good. Thanks

Great economy on the bike path, great for a break

A very nice terrace beautifully laid out. Unfortunately the service doesn't match the location. Slow, listless, you get the feeling that trying to order would be too much to ask, plus an annoyed answer when asked if you could pay by card. The answer: sometimes yes, but not today! The white wine was served way too warm. At the next table, as was our case, the change was given out incorrectly and the rest was paid out without comment when asked. It is understandable that the stress of the employees is great on such a sunny day, but then the owner has to find enough and, above all, friendly staff in order to be able to host his guests a second time.

When the weather is nice you can sit on the terrace here. Food was very tasty. Service seemed a bit chaotic and disorganized, but all the service staff were very friendly.

If the service is expanded, there will be more stars. We will be back.

Very good restaurant, can only recommend!

I went next door to the Bühler family farm and bought meat that was always fresh and good. It's not expensive and I can only recommend it.

Very pleasant restaurant with friendly staff. The food was also very tasty. Gladly again!

We were very satisfied and would be happy to come back

Very friendly and courteous service. The atmosphere is very romantic. And the food was very good.

Delicious food, very friendly service and a cozy atmosphere

The service and food were all great, I can only recommend it. :)

We were there as a large group (24 people) and everything went smoothly and very friendly. Everyone enjoyed the food very much. We'd love to come back.

Great service and great food Gladly again

Great food, great service! Were very satisfied. Thank you!

Very friendly service and tasty home-style cooking round off the experience in a picturesque location on the banks of the Neckar.

Delicious German cuisine, good portions. Cooked cheese schnitzel highly recommended! Beautiful beer garden! Great staff!

Shoemaker, stick to your lasts!!! We had reserved for Sunday afternoon with a small child. Then we get there, there's a technical defect and that's why there's only tarte flambée. Behind the bar counter 2 service staff and the boss. Sorry, but if you hide behind the counter it won't work. It was nice weather all week, so as a restaurateur you have to be prepared with everything. In addition, if you can offer tarte flambée, you can also offer salads etc. AND put a sign in the BEER GARDEN: Electrical problem. No hot food today and let the people with reservations know in advance. I would advise the waitress to go somewhere else after 2 days!!! We are then hungry for the very good Ratskeller in Heddesheim.

The location alone is priceless. New couple makes a great impression. Definitely worth a visit, even if the food could be a little better, but that is certainly due to our high standards.

The weather was lovely, me and my husband had our bike ride. At the Schwabenheimer Hof - We wanted to eat something at Anker. The courtyard was full and I asked the boss if he still had a table available. The rude answer was that we should find a free table ourselves. So far so good. A dish “salad with perch” that was not on the menu was particularly recommended to me. This was a daily offer on October 13, 2019. Not a good idea. The bass I had eaten before wanted to come out again. Almost half of the green salad consisted of coarsely grated carrots. Our waitress was friendly.

Very nice restaurant and delicious German food

Good business lunch for 18 people. Again and again!!!

Very tasty food and great service

Hervorragendes Essen, exzellenter Service, tolle Atmosphäre. Gerne wieder 🤩🤩

Service was very nice and very friendly and of course tasted very good 🤩 Thank you 🫶

"Ein kulinarisches Erlebnis der Extraklasse, bei dem die raffinierte Auswahl an erstklassigen Zutaten, die perfekte Zubereitung und der ausgezeichnete Service harmonisch zusammenkommen und unseren Gaumen in Verzückung versetzen – ein absolutes Muss für Feinschmecker!"

Sehr schön Ort und sehr lecker Essen
