Gimbacher Hof in Kelkheim (Taunus)

A wonderful day with the family at Gimbacher Hof. The drive leads through a residential area, and there are plenty of free parking spaces on site. The restaurant offers tables in the dining room, as well as individual rooms for celebrations. There is also the option of dining outside. Coffee and cake were served outside. Inside the building, the table is beautifully set, and the service is friendly, organized, and courteous. The menu is easy to read, and the dishes are regional and home-style. The dishes were beautifully presented, the salad was fresh, colorful, and juicy. All the dishes were well-balanced, and no one had to wait. There are numerous options for children, including a play area by the stairwell. Outside, there is also a playground, animals, and a pony ride.

In the past, Kelkheim residents would only go there for coffee; the food simply wasn't good. Now, the big surprise: we were there with a large group, and every dish was amazing. It's not exactly cheap, but it's worth the price. We'd gladly go back.

Delicious, cozy, lots of homemade products.

Gimbacher Hof is worth a visit! For all ages... The restaurant has plenty of seating and is beautifully decorated! The food is always great, and you can see the entire farm, including the horses and goats... fantastic!

Friendly service, the food could have been a bit more spicy for my taste.

We'd happily return. Excellent food, friendly service. We highly recommend it!

A lovely restaurant with good, home-style cooking. The service was excellent!

Two weeks ago we celebrated my 50th birthday at the Gimbacher Hof with a buffet lunch for 40 people. The organisation was great, food was excellent and the service was very good. Great party with lots of happy guests - thanks for making this day so special!

A beautiful place to linger. Traditional cuisine and plenty of space for the little ones to play. The Gimbacher Hof is worth a visit.

The food is really good and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly and helpful, although they're quite busy during rush hour.

Great cake counter, friendly staff

Sunny location...the food is excellent, homely!!

We had made a personal reservation the day before. I'm a wheelchair user. When we arrived, we were led into a separate room. There were four tables. A wheelchair user was already sitting at one of them. The room wasn't wheelchair-accessible at all. We had to somehow squeeze in, back to back, to make it fit. We both bumped our knees at the table. Then two women with a dog arrived. We all felt shoved away and unwelcome.

Wonderful..sitting outside under chestnut trees with good food and homemade apple wine

We held a surprise party for my wife's 40th birthday here in the garden. Everything went as planned and was perfect! This especially applies to the cake and the barbecue buffet for dinner. We hope to be back sometime!

We celebrated a milestone birthday at the Gimbacher Hof in early August. It was supposed to be a garden party, but they reserved a hall for us as a rainy-day alternative. We ended up eating inside, but the good weather allowed us to make the most of it. All the children were able to play in the garden or on the playground in front of the restaurant. The food, both lunch and cake, was excellent, and the service met our every need. All in all, a fantastic day. Thanks again to the team!

We celebrated our outdoor wedding ceremony, champagne reception, dinner, and subsequent party at the Gimbacher Hof – and it was simply perfect! Even in advance, coordination was absolutely seamless: quick responses, clear agreements, and very friendly support during the planning process. On the day itself, the service team was first-class – attentive, warm, and always there to help. The venue itself is stunning: The beautiful garden provides the ideal backdrop for an outdoor ceremony, and the upstairs room is also atmospheric and very suitable for a celebration. The food was fantastic – fresh, delicious, and with a great selection. Our special requests (Greek and Portuguese influences) were also wonderfully implemented, even though they're not our everyday norm. Our wedding cake was also a real highlight – visually impressive and delicious. The setting is also perfect for taking unforgettable wedding photos. All in all, a truly worry-free package for us! We can wholeheartedly recommend the Gimbacher Hof and would advise any future wedding couple to definitely consider this location.

Delicious food, a good selection for vegetarians too, and the cake is a dream! Despite the large number of guests, the service is attentive and professional. We really enjoyed it. We'd love to come back next time we're in the area.

One of my favorite spots in the entire Main-Taunus district since childhood. A legendary outdoor area with magnificent plane and chestnut trees. Homemade apple wine and hand cheese are just what I like. Horse paddocks, a riding stable, and a campsite are in the immediate vicinity, and walks are excellent. The whole area is magical, and you feel like you've stepped back into another era long ago.

How many stars can you give for a „Flammkuchen“? What was very impressive was the „Windbeutel“. Nice Beer Garden. waiter stressed but friendly. But for a Monday it was really, really busy. Over all this place can be recommended.

A very cozy atmosphere. With an outdoor area and a playground. A very nice location, and you can also hold parties.

A very nice farm with a beer garden. A beer garden that reflects the tradition and lifestyle of the Taunus region. The food was delicious, as was the Apple Wine. We would come back if we were in the area again.

The staff is stressed when it's busy... The food is very tasty, the side salad is unloving. I still like going there because the ambiance is very nice. The outdoor seating, including the table and floor, is very dated; it could use some renovation or replacement.

Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. I will definitely visit again and recommend it.

A cozy restaurant with down-to-earth, delicious cuisine. Very friendly and efficient staff.

Manageable menu, friendly service, always happy to come back!

Positively surprised by our visit to Gimbacher Hof! Had heard about it for years from friends with children and we finally visited for lunch and had a great time. We had a table outside and the food was great and moderately priced given the location quality. Really enjoyed the vibe and feeling like being away from city life for a few hours.

We attended a baptism at the Gimbacher Hof. The beautiful little chapel directly adjacent to the farm is perfect for baptisms and weddings. Afterwards, we celebrated in the lovely private garden. The service and food were excellent! We especially loved the cake! There's plenty for the little ones to explore (playground, animals, pony rides), and the adults can relax in the well-kept beer garden. The couple who run it are super helpful and friendly!

Very friendly manager, and wonderful location. Wild deer come check you out. Toilets and showers spacious and clean. Italian restaurant nearby but make reservations.

Very nice for sitting outside on hot days. Or in the fall after a hike. A great destination with children, as there's a playground and animals. Yesterday we had a handkäs (cheese) for 8.50. The portion was too small, drowned in dressing, and it came with a slice of bread and butter. A shame. Service varies. Yesterday we had a friendly server. .

A wonderful place to enjoy a slice of cake or a hearty meal. The playground and the animals in the enclosure next door keep the kids entertained.

A fantastic restaurant, great food, amazing service, and a beautiful setting. Great for families as the kids can run around freely. We'll be back ☺️

The food and service were very good. A great place for the kids to play and relax.

Large selection of cakes, very nice ambience in pure nature

The best cakes and tortes in Kelkheim – they have their own pastry chef! Surrounded by trees and fields, it's always a pleasant spot, especially when it's sweltering in the city! Service at the tables depends on who you happen to be...

Yes. Very much. But not accessible.

Simply unprofessional service. We had a reserved table. We order food and are ready to order dessert. Without asking us they sit additional guests to our table and suddenly there are no enough chairs for us on the table. Basically just asking us to leave. So rude. The food is good. Coffee and cake can’t rate since they kicked us out before that. A nice place for kids but would definitely not come here again. Updating after the response from the restaurant with an true assessment. Probably you do this a lot to your customers so you mixed up our table with another case? We were having a stop by and would never have stayed 3 hours as we wanted to have a quick lunch and leave. My husband was at the table and never left it as I went to the bathroom. Anyways, you could have just apologized but you decided to spread false info.

We received a very warm and friendly welcome. The waiters were friendly and attentive, and the rustic, cozy atmosphere made for a truly delicious meal. We really enjoyed our visit and are already looking forward to our next visit! Absolutely worth recommending.

The food is delicious and the service is very friendly. You get home-style cooking and delicious cakes. The ambiance is very nice, and the beer garden is also great.

Very unfriendly staff. We definitely won't be coming back, as there are much more inviting alternatives in the area... :)

We felt welcome and comfortable here. Excellent local food, attentive and friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere! Highly recommended!

A lovely day trip destination just outside Frankfurt. In nice weather, we enjoyed a delicious handkäs (cheese), salad, and apple wine outside. The cakes on offer are legendary. We're always happy to come back.

Great cake. Great day trip destination. Dogs welcome

We were here yesterday with the family. 🔝 It was delicious‼️ Good value for money. There are some very interesting dishes on the menu; we'll definitely be back.

The food is good, but waiters who turn their heads in annoyance when you speak to them are just unacceptable. When your order arrives and has been mixed up, you're doubly happy. I didn't feel like a guest, more like an annoying supplicant.

The cake looks absolutely delicious. But I decided on green sauce. That could be greener, meaning more herbs, less mayo.

The location is very nice, and there's plenty of parking. The service was courteous, friendly, and personable. We had the dark beer goulash and found it very tasty. Afterwards, there was cake, also very tasty. The price was reasonable. We'd be happy to come back.

It was great, thank you for the wonderful time!

Gimbacher Hof: A heartfelt compliment! I was completely impressed by the Gimbacher Hof! From start to finish, I felt at home and in excellent hands. I would particularly like to highlight the excellent food; every dish was a true feast for the palate, freshly prepared and presented with great attention to detail. The salads were particularly delicious – crisp and fresh with a varied selection of ingredients. But not only was the food fantastic; the friendly couple who run the property and the attentive service staff also contributed significantly to the positive overall impression. The hospitality was palpable, the team always friendly and helpful. You felt truly welcome as a guest and well looked after. Overall, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Gimbacher Hof. It's a place where you feel at home, eat excellent food, and enjoy a thoroughly pleasant stay. Kudos to the entire team! Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

The Gimbacher (also called Gimbi) is beautifully situated, and in summer, you can sit in the shade. The food is good, home-style. From here, you can also take lovely walks. If you arrive early enough, parking is no problem. The service is friendly and well-organized. There's plenty on offer for children; the braver ones can hop on ponies and be guided through the area. In nice weather and on weekends, I would definitely recommend making a reservation.

We invited about 35 people to the "Gimbi" for a special birthday. We had a reception outside (beautiful!) under the trees, followed by a hot buffet upstairs. The arrangements were flawless, the food was excellent, and the service was attentive and friendly. The prices are completely reasonable. I would definitely recommend it.

In brief: - beautiful outdoor area - excellent service - fantastic food (regional, classic, and even vegan) - child-friendly, of course - dogs welcome In detail: A family gathering attracted us here in record-breaking heat. Upon arrival, the beautiful grounds immediately caught our eye, and our children enjoyed the playground. The staff was extremely friendly; we immediately felt warmly welcomed. I find that special in itself; that's rare in the restaurant industry. Even during the hours we were there, despite the heat, no one lost their friendliness, and we guests had the best time of our lives in the shade thanks to the beautiful trees and a pleasant breeze. Now for the food: the classics like green sauce... top-notch! The trout, I haven't had it prepared so well in a long time. Even my little kids ate the salad :-P The gooseberry cake from the large selection of cakes left nothing to be desired. And there was even dog ice cream for the dogs. It was a fantastic day, and we're already booking again for next year.

A beautiful place, always busy, delicious drinks, good food...

Beautiful location, great food, and very attentive and friendly staff. We'll definitely be back.

Very beautiful surroundings and a pleasant atmosphere. Well-kept outdoor area, delicious food, and wonderful for children.

The beer garden is quite nice, but the interior is hard to beat in terms of stuffiness. Everything is showing its age considerably. The service hasn't improved and was rather lackluster. I only had a hand cheese with music, which was absolutely unimpressive. I won't go back.

We were there for a milestone birthday party. Since there were two parties, the staff was really busy and friendly. We had a buffet. The food was very good. We celebrated outside. Be sure to bring mosquito repellent. :-) Free parking in front of the door.

We celebrated our civil and church weddings at the Gimbacher Hof in the Staufenberg room with a terrace. We received excellent advice beforehand and were very pleased with the food. Our server, Susann, responded promptly to our guests' spontaneous requests and was able to resolve many issues as quickly as possible. We felt very comfortable and would like to thank you again for the successful celebrations.

A lovely beer garden/restaurant by the forest (an old farm, a real eye-catcher), child-friendly, dog-friendly, good home-style cooking, and a great cake counter. Very popular, so reservations are recommended.

The food was delicious and plentiful. The steak was cooked to perfection and the sausage salad was well-seasoned. The service was friendly and prompt. All in all, we were completely satisfied.

Beautiful location with playground and animals around (horses, goats). The food was okay, the Spargel Schnitzel was expensive and only had one piece of meat instead of two like all other Schnitzel dishes. Could have been more Sauce Hollandaise. Service was overwhelmed, they often brought something twice or to the wrong table.

We've only been there twice this summer. Both times, we were served by the same waiter. In both cases, it felt like the customer was just a nuisance. The second time, half of the orders went missing, and there were dirty glasses to boot. I hope things get better :(

A very nice café in an idyllic location. You should get there early, though, as otherwise you'll have little chance of getting a seat. The cake is delicious, and if you can't get a seat, it's definitely worth bringing some with you. Highly recommended.

Great food, beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, and... affordable. So a great all-round package.

Nice atmosphere, very friendly waiters, good food. Bring back the "analog" menus and offer the online menu via QR code as an alternative. This fits better with the overall concept. We'll be happy to come back!

The Gimbacher Hof: a wonderful place to feel good, with many qualities! A compliment to the kitchen, a menu that offers something for everyone. The Frankfurter Schnitzel, a classic that always works. All the dishes are super delicious, and the cakes and tarts are a dream! Good service is part of feeling good, and everything is just right there, too. A pleasant and friendly waitress who helps you feel at home! The outdoor area is something very special; under the old trees, a truly romantic atmosphere develops, and you feel like you're on vacation and just completely at home! Finally, a special compliment to the Rucco couple, who run the Gimbacher Hof with so much passion. You guys are just perfect! I wish you continued success and all the best 🫶!

Always worth a visit. There's something for young and old. Not only is there good food and delicious cakes, but also pure nature, a wonderful playground, a small animal enclosure, and pony rides. There's something for everyone. I think the pony story is only available by appointment. A table reservation is often necessary, especially if you're planning on coming with a large group.

We had a fantastic celebration at the Gimbacher Hof. The service was fantastic as always, with our favorite waitress.👍

As always, good Hessian cuisine.

We celebrated our son's confirmation at the "Gimbi" and were absolutely thrilled. The arrangements were excellent, the food was superb, the service was very friendly and accommodating, and the spontaneous relocation of the champagne reception to the garden was fantastic. Even the decorations we brought with us were arranged exactly as we wanted! Thanks to the entire team for a successful day...

I've been going to Gimbi for years; why? Maybe because I live locally, because my daughter has ridden there🐴, because we celebrated confirmation in the garden there ✝️💜, because the food was/is always honestly made and fairly priced. And because the cake selection remains *amazing*. Can I recommend it... even after the change? Yes!

No service before closing time, even though there are still guests sitting in the beer garden. Then it's not.

As always, delicious food in a home-style Hessian atmosphere

We celebrated a birthday there in one room, but you had to go through another dining room. The atmosphere was very hectic from the outside, and some people shouted, and they weren't happy when we handed ourselves the menu. The food was delicious (the cake is a must) and was served relatively quickly for 20 people (roughly 15 minutes). The ambiance loses a point due to the overall noise level, and you might think the decor is a bit sparse. But overall, a nice place.

Beautiful property, great food Very friendly service Highly recommended Perfect for a wedding

We'd like to extend a huge thank you to the entire team at the Gimbacher Hof. We've known this lovely restaurant for years and have always enjoyed excellent food there, but at our wedding reception yesterday, the team made sure everything was perfect (champagne reception, lunch, coffee) and went the extra mile... the three-tiered wedding cake was a blast... we love your legendary apple wine cake. Many thanks also to your "smart Rafi"... your service is simply fantastic. 5 stars from us 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 plus plus plus

The food was excellent and the service fantastic! The garden was also beautifully decorated for our celebration. We and our guests felt completely at home. Thank you so much for this wonderful celebration!

Has lost a bit of the charm of Frye

Very nice location. Very delicious cakes. Service could be a bit better in some places.

Cake very tasty, staff a bit overwhelmed with our lively group

We had our reservation for outside for 4 p.m., but we arrived at 3 p.m. and were kindly assigned a nice table inside after the guests had left. We did have to wait a bit for service, but given the crowds, it was okay. The food was, as always, very good. By the time we were finished and wanted a cake for dessert, the cake counter was already very small, but we still got a delicious fresh cherry cake with crumble. The value for money is good! We will definitely go there a few more times. There is a playground and petting animals for children.

Always worth a visit. Unfortunately, it feels like it's becoming increasingly difficult to get a place. And the fact that parking fees are also charged if you only pick someone up briefly also spoils the otherwise very good impression.

Yes, it's okay but nothing special

Were there for dinner or in the late afternoon. There was still cake, so we ordered some. They were super tasty and reasonably priced. The dinner, however, was rather average. Not bad but not “particularly” good either. Service was great. Everyone is very nice! The surrounding area is simply wonderful, especially for families with small children. Playground / cows / horses / goats all in the immediate vicinity. The area is also ideal for walking and hiking. Therefore, always worth a trip to the café at lunchtime with children.

During asparagus season we ordered schnitzel with asparagus and boiled potatoes. The asparagus and boiled potatoes were very good, the schnitzel was a disaster. The dessert was excellent.

Really nice atmosphere, especially with children thanks to the playground and the animals and the proximity to the forest. Prices are rather high but still within reason.

We held our wedding dinner here after the wedding and booked a table for about 11 people. So a small frame. Luckily we ate there again a week before and verified the reservation for the table we wanted, because it wasn't noted ;-) The table was set with white tablecloths and green napkins, the food was very good, especially the rump steak is really recommended. The service was "reduced". People did not actively ask what they would like to drink or whether they would like anything else. You had to take it into your own hands or hold on to the water provided. When it was empty, no one asked if anything else was wanted. The boss is actually very nice - now comes the big BUT that is brewing in me and prompts me to write the review: My daughter baked a wedding cake for us and brought it there in advance. That was a very nice surprise but they actually charged her 25.00 euros so that we could get cake plates and forks! She then had to fetch the plates as well as the forks, which were not automatically handed over. We understand that the innkeeper prefers to sell his own cake, but a homemade wedding cake is an exception for such an occasion, isn't it?! If he had been smart here, he could have sold a lot more coffee and drinks in general, but we hardly had a chance to order them because no one was checking on us. That disappointed us. We are Kelkheimers and wanted to enjoy our wedding meal in “our Gimbi”. We really expected a little more sensitivity and commitment. Then we would have stayed there longer. All in all, it felt a bit "hands-on". Too bad :-(

There are also very good alternatives to the usual schnitzel variants.

Thank you for the great food and the service, especially Mr. Mahmud! We'd love to come back 🙂

You only celebrate a 70th birthday once in your life and so this celebration should be as perfect as possible. And she was! The preliminary discussions with the Rucco couple were very pleasant and friendly. My special requests were addressed without any problem. The room was very nice and the banquet table (30 people) was beautifully set. The starter buffet and the main courses tasted very tasty. I don't think I've ever had such tender pork loin at a buffet. By the time dessert arrived, my stomach was already quite full. 😋 The service also worked great. And so I, as well as my guests, were thrilled with the Gimbacher Hof. Really recommended! A successful birthday! Thank you, dear Rucco couple. I wish you continued success. Her Christina Hahnel

Great cozy atmosphere with delicious traditional cakes.

Disappointing salads that taste unseasoned and don't contain what the menu promises. Under the "large" lamb's lettuce a mountain of bucket coleslaw and in the lentil and salsify salad exactly 2x 1cm small pieces of salsify. Upon request and discussion, it was brought to us by an insulting waiter. The price-performance ratio is no longer right. The location is very nice, the cake was delicious as always, but the quality and service are different.

We had lunch there today. My kale soup was tasty, the cream schnitzel with spaetzle was absolutely boring in taste, and it came from a bag and not homemade, the cream sauce was also a bag product, as was the spaetzle. Overall, it tasted like cafeteria food. My sister's fish was over salted. The tea was good, as was my Cola Zero. Overall not recommended.

Very good quality of the dishes! Some portions a bit small for the price. Staff was very nice!

Coffee, cappuccino and cake were all very tasty. Coffee is also available with decaf upon request and with oat milk if you are lactose intolerant.

We stopped here on a short trip through the Taunus and had a delicious meal! As people from North Hesse, we were excited about the South Hesse specialties and were not disappointed! Whether hand cheese with music, green sauce with eggs or Frankfurt ribs - everything is super tasty and recommended! Accompanied by a sparkling apple cider, served by the friendly waitress - perfect!

Very nice location, restaurant, beer garden and the food is also good. Delicious cakes outside too

A wonderful destination. There are very tasty cakes and good food here. The Äppler is also very good. There are a lot of parking spaces available. In summer there is a very nice and large beer garden.

Cozy, friendly and the food is delicious 😋 will definitely go back

FOOD IS OKAY, BUT THAT CERTAIN WISH WAS MISSING.
