Gaststätte Zur Weiher Schleife "Offene Flamme Thomas Kreis" in Idar-Oberstein

Very good and large pork neck from the Idar-Oberstein beech wood fire, very tasty. We were there on Friday around 3 p.m. People almost ran over the team. 😀

For me a very good restaurant. The service and also the boss... very nice people 👍 Food SUPER GOOD, I had a beef roulade with dumplings and lots of sauce... it was very tasty. I'll be back 😉✌️ It's a shame, I wanted to have our Christmas party there with my company... unfortunately there's no more space... but I can understand it because it's a VERY good place to eat👍

Very friendly boss, everything is very child-friendly, plus delicious food

Despite the large group (there were 60 of us), we were able to eat à la carte. The meat, vegetables and salads were freshly prepared. The portions were absolutely sufficient. There was also a large selection of drinks. In the summer you can sit outside with a view of the pond. A reservation is also recommended during the week.

Unfriendly! We should please take a seat outside! Inside, everything was free except for one table! After I had persuaded my wife to "stay" and sit outside, despite the fresh weather, the waiter was so overwhelmed with the question of a children's chair that he didn't even come back! After about 1 minute we went somewhere else!

Sat upstairs, food was OK or good (3.5), service was nice but could have come more often (4), ambience is OK (3). So all in all you can eat well there.

Super delicious food worth every penny. Gladly again, very gladly again.

A good address for a nice evening. The food is beautifully prepared and very tasty. The stuffed dumplings are huge, so you have to have them several times because you're happy to have the leftovers wrapped up. The spit roast had real fire and was wonderfully juicy, so it wasn't fried dry. With the potatoes and the herb curd it's a real treat, just the way you want it. The staff is friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. The timing of the dishes is great. Dishes with different cooking times were also brought to the table at the same time, so that you can eat together with several people. The service team took great care of the entire restaurant and outside tables without causing any rush. And every order was implemented promptly. As mentioned at the beginning, it was a lovely evening with great service.

After a trip to the gemstone mine, we found super friendly staff, delicious food and a nice restaurant with a playground. We had a great stay and would love to come back on our next trip to Idar Oberstein.

We were warmly welcomed and although everything was reserved, we were allowed to sit down for a moment and enjoy a hot drink. The staff were very friendly. Next time we'll make a reservation and stay for dinner!

I'm thrilled - I discovered a clue more or less by chance when visiting Steinkaulenberg. Staff very friendly - boss too - they take care of the guests directly, even when there is a lot going on. My Obersteiner spit roast fresh from the open fire. Perfectly grilled and delicious - I would have loved to lick the plate. Radish salad homemade and delicious. My wife's currywurst with very good sauce. Was also very good. We were completely satisfied and would like to come again, even if it is a 1.5 hour drive.

We were there in the evening with our dog and it was very nice. We were asked which place would be best for us with a dog. He also got water. The food was super tasty, grilled. The meat is tender and the side dish is plentiful and tasty. Gladly again!

The food was very good and fresh! You could regularly hear the schnitzel being pounded :) The breading of the schnitzel was nice and crispy and the schnitzel wasn't too thick and nice and tender. The stuffed dumpling is also highly recommended and you can't say anything about the price! We'd love to come back!

Wow! Extremely nice staff, very nicely and warmly decorated and the food tastes incredibly good. Can simply be recommended.

Gemütlich, freundlich, familiär mit hervorragendem Essensangebot, angelehnt an regionale Spezialitäten wie gefüllte Klöße, Spießbraten, Rouladen, gefüllte Hähnchen etc Man kann auch anrufen und bestimmte Herzensgerichte bestellen, die dann gerne für einen zubereitet werden . Tischreservierung würde ich empfehlen, das Restaurant ist beliebt

Super leckeres Essen, nette Bedienung. Der Kindsköpp ist wirklich eine Überraschung und kaum schaffbar. Unbedingt probieren .

Unfortunately only one star, the atmosphere was really nice. We personally asked if we could still make a reservation for this evening. The young lady, who barely managed to look up, just said she didn't have anything free left. A table might be free at a later date, so we could call. Gave us the business card with the announcement that no one would probably answer it anyway. Super unprofessional, we would have come at a later date. It was not possible to ask that at all. Sad. You will never have us as guests.

Very tasty food, friendly service and reasonable prices 👍😌

Good day My wife and I eat there regularly. From the moment you first leave until you leave, you feel welcome. A very nice, small restaurant. Definitely worth a visit. Price-performance is outstanding.

We love the food and the service was great too. Would love to come back

Super delicious food, nice service and nice ambience.

Very nicely located in a small park with a pond.

Very nicely located restaurant with good food and drink options! There is a small pond where you can also take a pedal boat! So it's also fun for young and old!

We didn't get a seat, our attempt to make a reservation in the morning failed

Motorcycle stop. Very nice service.

Very nice staff. The food was very tasty. Price/performance perfect. Always my pleasure.

This restaurant is one of the best in Idar-Oberstein. Super tasty food, nice service, value for money also suits me. If you want something good from the fire, you've come to the right place.

Food very good. Friendly service. Highly recommended

Had this huge dumpling with a ham and cream sauce. The taste was good (a dumpling with minced meat filling) 👍🏻 but hardly manageable for one person. The waiting time of 45 minutes was just okay.

World class. Absolute Champions League in all areas.

Very good food and great staff.

Juice shop. The boss was totally unfriendly, quickly became aggressive, almost physically violent towards his customers and you couldn't make excuses to describe the problem. Food was burnt dough raw, salmonella inevitable.

Food was very tasty. However, the staff differentiates strongly between regular customers and first-time visitors. This is not very kind to the latter. No one asked for more drinks, let alone came to the table. They brought the applesauce with the dumpling 30 minutes before the main meal, so that logically all the wasps in the area were present during the meal.

Very cozy, very nice and courteous staff. Highly recommended!!!

Homemade fries, TOP. Good portions of meat and excellent service. Nice location and not (too) expensive. We'll be back.

Currywurst with pommes. Delicious.

Great location for young and old! Great host, keep it up Thomas, Idar-Oberstein needs more hosts like you!!!🥂🍻

Once again very tasty and friendly service despite everything being occupied. Reservation is recommended.

Very good restaurant with very good food. Seating outside. Parking is a hundred meters away.

We will definitely come back, the waitresses are very nice and accommodating 👍 And as you can see, a very large dumpling that is also homemade and unfortunately I only managed half of it but no problem I got it packed. The boss is also there himself, which is always nice to see. We were lucky with a table but we were also told that if we had something special we should have reserved it in advance, it would always be safer 👍 Only recommended.

This afternoon we were guests of Thomas at the Weiherschleife. We bridged the short waiting time with a cold hop bowl at the counter outside.🍻 Only a short time later the very friendly service staff assigned a table on the terrace. After a long browse through a varied menu, we decided on the Lendsche (pork fillet 350 gr.)🤣 and an entrecote (300 gr.). Guys, what we were served was just amazing!!! 2 pieces of meat, superbly marinated and fried to perfection. Plus a hearty radish salad and grumbire (potatoes). Many thanks to Thomas and his nice team for this lovely afternoon. Until then, your DJ Tom 😎 ✌️.

Crazy, so tasty...great service

If you want to eat very well, want a nice atmosphere with courteous, friendly staff, then you've come to the right place. I was there today with a friend and everything was just right, the food was excellent, as was the service and the ambience. I will definitely come here more often.

From the motorhome site straight to the Weierschleife for dinner. Very busy and without reservations, oh well. We still got a nice place. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. The regional dishes are very tasty and freshly prepared. Good price/performance ratio. A nice boss who also likes to talk to his guests. We will definitely be guests in the Weierschleife again next time we visit.

Everything was perfect, food, service and atmosphere. We'd love to come back 😊😋

Delicious food, very friendly service, okay price

Very warm host, great food, reasonable prices... absolutely recommended!!!

Fantastic food, great service, good portions, reasonable prices. Absolutely recommended

We were pleasantly surprised. We had different dishes and all of them were hot, tasty and tasted very good. The price is absolutely right and the girls have put a lot of effort into making sure you feel completely looked after. Even with a dog you are welcome. If we were ever in the city again, we would definitely stop there again! P.S. The dumpling is big - don't anticipate an appetizer 😅

Very good food, very friendly staff

Food was ok but nothing special, the sauces for the schnitzel tasted like they were made with ready-made sauces and the meatball was completely over salted. By that I don't mean too salty, but actually so salty that an hour later the flora in your mouth felt completely strange. It can happen that you make a mistake when seasoning, but here we were dealing with 'oh dear, I dropped the whole can of salt instead of a spoon, but it doesn't matter'. Otherwise, service was nice, selection ok, price ok.

Everything goes well here, great grilled pork fillet, salad with spit roast strips, super tasty. Great portions and very attentive service, as well as the boss. Keep it up, we'll keep coming back. There is a motorhome parking space in the immediate vicinity, which is highly recommended.

Top address in Idar-Oberstein. The spit roast is world class and everything tasted very good. The perfect place even with children as there is a playground. We'd love to come back.

It was a small restaurant, the atmosphere could have been a little more, but the food was great👌

Freundlicher Empfang, netter, sehr flotter Service, das Ambiente ist rustikal mit schönen Aussenplätzen. Daneben ein Spielplatz damit auch für Familien prima. Und dann das Essen: unglaublich lecker, regionaltypische Gerichte, ordentliche Portionen, einfach nur klasse. Unser persönliches Highlight: auf dem Weg aus dem Restaurant heraus, trafen wir die Metzgerin, die das Restaurant beliefert und die uns voller Begeisterung erzählt hat, dass bei ihr nur regionales Fleisch aus eigener Schlachtung verarbeitet wird. Eine echte Empfehlung!

Spit roast from the grill, 🤤, and the potatoes too. That was delicious. With a 350g roast just over the limit of carpaccio and mega delicious. Good destination, especially with children. They can have a good time on site.

The manager of the restaurant is a very pleasant guy, always has a smile on his face, the food was great. There is a small map and all sorts of things next to the map. The restaurant's motto is: "come as a guest and leave as a friend" and that's true in every respect. A great shop!

Very well eaten, grilled meat perfect, smoke aroma and roasted aromas perfect, friendly, pleasant service

It was the first time I had eaten spit roast. And I was really excited. Staff was very friendly

Another delicious cappuccino and delicious piece of cake.

Nice restaurant and delicious food. We suddenly didn't realize that we should book in advance for a Wednesday lunchtime. But a nice place was found for us. Thank you for food and drink and games and fun

Great atmosphere, especially in the beer garden. Super delicious food! And thanks to the friendly and child-loving service. We came by by chance as strangers and were very satisfied! Tip to future guests: reserve your seats!

We were there spontaneously, me with my son and grandpa. The staff was attentive and quick, even though everything was fully booked. I ordered the pork fillet and I have to say it was excellent, the taste from the grill was fantastic! You can easily do without the side dish “salad” in the portion. Super friendly staff and especially the boss. We recommend !

Friendliness top food is great and great atmosphere

Nice location, you can sit outside. Since it is a restaurant for excursions, we didn't expect much and only ordered an appetizer. Klosstaler with bacon, cream sauce and applesauce. Very sophisticated.

Delicious pork loin fried to perfection, service very friendly and quick. Will be back next week😊

Very good cuisine, staff very attentive and friendly, Andreas is a great host, always a smile and kind words..when the weather is nice you can enjoy the beautiful pond and the beautiful surroundings..highly recommended, reservation is essential...

Food great, service great and the boss does his job with passion

Super delicious food at a fair price. The service was super nice and I can only recommend it. The view is also quite nice and there is a small playground for the children.

Toller Chef. Tolles Personal sehr freundlich. Chef begrüßt jeden Gast persönlich. Essen gab es auch hatte ein Rinderschnitzel.meine Partnerin Zigeunerschnitzell was soll ich sagen. Lange nicht mehr so gut gegessen 👍jederzeit wieder.

We drove 100 km today to try the spit roast. Was recommended to us by the Donsbach family from Herstein. And I have to say that everything was right, starting with the reception, the friendly service, the beautiful ambience by the pond, the price-performance ratio and the super delicious food - nothing was out of the box. Next time I'll try the stuffed dumpling, it looked delicious. Great team, I hope the boss appreciates it. Keep it up.

Great food, great service, good all around

Mega ..food very good, nice friendly staff.

Super und sympathischer Service und unglaublich gutes Essen! Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis für heutige Zeiten vollkommen ok! Kann man nur empfehlen!

Great stuffed dumplings Good mood

Nice excursion restaurant, regional specialties really tasty and very friendly, attentive staff. Very nice boss who is always present for all his guests. Great👌will definitely come back.

I was there for the first time yesterday and I have to say it was great. The food was spot on, whether it was the salad dressing, the meat, the side dishes, the sauce. The service was super friendly and attentive. The price is also completely reasonable. I can only recommend it. Keep it up.

Very good atmosphere in the team and with the guests. You sit in the middle of the countryside and the food was great too. We will be back

Freundliche Bedienungen, sehr gutes Essen das mit Laune und Freude zubereitet wurde. Preise waren für Essen und Getränke sehr angenehm. Jederzeit würden wir die Gaststätte sehr empfehlen.

Everything was simply wonderful here. The service was very friendly. The selection is manageable, but the quality is really impeccable! Price-performance is absolutely OK here. We enjoyed it very much and would come back at any time.

I can only warmly recommend the riser plate. Makes up to 10 climbers full and even leaves something left over for later. There was also a round of schnapps from the bakery boss Merz. Thank you very much for this, you make the best water rolls. By the way, the rising plate includes: -Meatball -Lendchen -Entrecot -Argentinian hip - baked garlic bread -Grilled potatoes & French fries and homemade herb quark. Dachshund Bodo also greeted us at the neighboring table. Splendid. The pensioners at the next table impressed with their impeccable behavior and even got their so-called leftover toilets packed up. Football god N. Munsteiner even canceled his dentist appointment for this feast. Rightly so, by the way. P.S. The Cola Cola wheat is still running. Best regards The newcomers from TuS Mörschied

If you like meat, this is really good. The menu is manageable but the spit roast we were there for was good. The schnitzel was actually one of the best I've tried so far. Not the usual TK uniformity like at other tourist spots. The price is also surprisingly good, a large pilsner for under 4 euros is unbeatable.

Very friendly service in a nice atmosphere. The food is top notch! Both Spießbraten and Kindskäpp are highly recommended.

We were in the area for 4 weeks and discovered this restaurant. On our first visit, my daughter asked if she could get her schnitzel with hollandaise sauce and 2 dumplings instead of fries. This was confirmed after a short consultation with the kitchen and the boss. Apart from the fact that they put her favorite meal on the table for my daughter, it was so incredibly good and tasty that my daughter immediately voted it the best restaurant in the area. :) I had the Jägerschnitzel myself that evening and could only agree with my daughter's opinion. The food was just really good. On our second visit I had the beef rump from the grill and my daughter...well, schnitzel with hollandaise sauce and dumplings, what else. The rump was by far the best thing I've eaten to date. The beech wood taste on the meat was sensational. On our third visit I had the spit roast from the grill and my daughter... well, you can guess three times... :) I wasn't disappointed again. The food was and is simply delicious here. The service was always super friendly and courteous and the owner is also a super nice guy. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely visit again. Kind regards to the owner and the great staff The dad with the hollandaise daughter :-)

On Saturday lunchtime, getting a table for three people was a matter of luck and was only possible outside. Service came quickly and was friendly, drinks also came very promptly. The meal alone took quite a long time, about 1 hour, but since there were a lot of customers there and a 70's wedding was taking place about 15 meters away, where the restaurant also served the food, the long waiting time can be excused . It was easy to talk to neighboring tables, which made the waiting time a little more pleasant. The wedding party next door didn't bother us at all; on the contrary, everyone wanted to go over and congratulate them Portions, no wonder the food took so long. It was very delicious and freshly prepared and very plentiful. We'll definitely be back for a meal on our next vacation again.

Even though there was a bit of a lack of service staff available on the day of our visit due to a parallel event, all the staff and the innkeeper were super friendly. The food tastes very solid and is reasonably priced. Special requests such as extra plates for the children or straws were absolutely no problem. The playground next to it is nice, but we could hardly use it because it was too wet.

Very friendly boss. Food very tasty, extremely plentiful and moderate prices. Unfortunately there are few seats inside. Busy, so it does take a little longer to order. Despite everything, I would love to come back!

From Thomas to the food everything was perfect:-))))

There's nothing negative! Everything perfect! The boss always tries to make everything possible for all guests. He is constantly there for the guests and bustling around. The service is very friendly and helpful. The whole team is ready to meet high demands and overcome all challenges. The food is varied and always to the point. I can only give it 5⭐, 10⭐ would be appropriate. Looking forward to next time.

Very tasty and high quality food. Regional, wonderful. Nice guest-oriented service, great boss

Excellent cuisine, all dishes are homemade and plentiful. Price-performance ratio is also right. The staff is super nice. We recommend. The RV parking space is right next door.

Right on the Weiher Loop - really nice to sit outside/inside. Local cuisine for the big ones, plenty of choice for the little ones...and an ice cream machine! Playground! With nest swing! Clear recommendation!

Everything was fine. Food was much better than we first expected. We thought it was a tourist place: great location, expensive prices and bad food. But the food was really great. Everything was fair and good

Expectations are dampened as soon as you enter the restaurant. The background noise is so loud that pleasant conversation is not possible because no attention was paid to soundproofing. Then you are seated at a table with 6 people where there is not enough space for the menus. If you then order a bone-in cutlet - breaded and fried in a pan - and then receive a sliced ​​"piece of meat" WITHOUT the bone, which drips with fat when cut, and receive raw onions instead of fried ones, any further comment is unnecessary. Never again!

Very tasty food and friendly staff. Price/performance ratio is good. You should make a reservation because of high demand. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food, nice selection of cakes, very friendly service, fair price-performance ratio. For guests who want something frozen, Toni has an ice cream machine. There is a playground for children right next door. Since the pond loop is very busy, we reserve seats...

I ate here with my son and we were very impressed. The best spit roast in the Hunsrück so far!!

Super tasty 😋. The spit roast was grilled to perfection, juicy, spicy and super tender.

On May 7th, 2024, we ate super tasty spit roast with plenty of side dishes at a fair price outside. Spit roast grilled very juicy over beech wood with tasty aromas. We really enjoyed this day after visiting the gemstone mine!

nice restaurant right on the historic pond loop. Large beer garden with sun and shade. Food: very tasty, we had Idar-Obersteiner spit roast and a large salad with schnitzel. It takes a while for the food to arrive, but it is freshly prepared and I am happy to accept the waiting time. The spit roast was delicious, tender and a huge portion (at least 350 grams), freshly prepared from an open fire over beech wood. As a side dish, flamed potatoes, also from an open fire, and a radish salad - the latter was a bit bland, but the overall product was great and the 350 grams were a pleasure. In the large salad, the salad mixture was well put together and the dressing was great. The schnitzel was large and very tender. Conclusion on the food: TOP and very good price-performance ratio. Drinks: wheat beer “Kirner” and Diet Coke (all OK) Service: despite the stress that the good woman certainly had (busy outside management and a lot to do inside), she was friendly and competent. Overall conclusion: delicious, good, we'll be back! PS: directly adjacent there is a beautiful children's playground and a small pond with pedal boats - ideal for families with children.
