Gleis eins in Engelskirchen

Very nice evening with delicious food and a good selection of drinks

Update 12.11.2021: Auch ich wurde von Google kontaktiert, dass der Geschäftsinhaber eine Beschwerde zu meiner Rezension abgegeben hat. Fremdschämen beschreibt dieses Verhalten wohl am Besten... Lt. Google verletze mein Erfahrungsbericht den Geschäftsinhaber in seinen Rechten. + + + + Zwei Besuche waren es bisher und beide Male wusste das Brauhaus leider noch nicht zu überzeugen. Vor allem die Küche und die Anrichtung der Speisen hat noch Verbesserungspotential. Kurz zusammenfasst: Leider waren die Speisen (Burger, Schnitzel und Pommes) nur lauwarm, der Beilagensalat wurde vergessen und erst auf Nachfrage an den Tisch gebracht. Zudem schien der Krautsalat schon "länger" gestanden zu haben (dunkle Abschnittkanten). Getrennt bestellte Soßen (für zwei Personen) wurden in einem Schälchen serviert. Auf diese Zustände haben wir das Personal vor Ort hingewiesen. Eine tatsächliche Reaktion blieb jedoch aus - es blieb bei einem "OK", welches auch eher überheblich und ungläubig wirkte. Schade. Die Bierauswahl ist groß, dem Personal fehlen aber noch die Informationen zu den teils "fremden" Biersorten. Das Zusammenspiel von Angebot und dem dazugehörigen Wissen (z.B. zum Bier des Monats) sollte verbessert werden. Einen dritten Versuch wird es noch geben. Für Engelskirchen und Umgebung ist das Brauhaus eine tolle Sache. Hoffentlich gewinnt das Gesamtpaket am Ende und die bisher wahrgenommenen Kritikpunkte waren lediglich Startschwierigkeiten und "Kinderkrankheiten".

Very nice ambience and good food.

We were there on Sunday afternoon, it was very crowded, so we had to wait a bit. The service was nice. Very large portions, I would have liked a little less, but better quality.

It's quite loud in the dining room.

Yes, it is very comfortable. Food OK too. The salads in particular are very good But the fries could be thicker.

Always nice here. Especially on the quiz evenings.

Super nice atmosphere! Food was super delicious! I'd love to come back

This was our third time there and there will be a few more times. We come to Engelskirchen from Gummersbach because the brewery in Gummersbach can't keep up. Your food and the ambience are really just top. I would like to highlight the staff. This friendliness is not a given... We even observed when a kitchen employee went out of the kitchen to get something to drink from the counter, not only thinking about himself but also about a dog for whom he also got a bowl of water. Keep it up and see you soon.

Unfortunately the quality has deteriorated extremely with the new owner. The map was kept very simple. Nothing special anymore. Value for money.....well

I've eaten here twice with my family in the last week and I have to say it always tasted great. We ate hamburgers, crusties and 2x heaven and ääd (definitely try it). The portions are large enough. The service was absolutely attentive, super fast and totally friendly. The beer on the menu offers a large selection of different types, comes cold, freshly tapped with a good head of foam and tastes very tasty. We really liked it here. We'll definitely be back.

Second time here, second time disappointed! Few guests but still waited a long time for the food and the quality of the dishes...well! Many types of beer and many on tap, hence 2 ** A visit is only recommended to a limited extent, especially if you want something to eat!

Super friendly service, super delicious food. Can only be recommended.

Every time I've been here it's been a very nice evening. The service is very friendly and helpful. The food tastes very good and the prices are also justified. I can warmly recommend it!

Always my pleasure! Great staff, good cuisine!

Nice brewery.. small menu but the food is very good... and delicious beer....😄

We were there for the first time on a Sunday lunch/afternoon and it was just great. The food was bomb and the service (young team) was very good. It's great, especially for and with children, that the kitchen is open all the time. By the way, I had the dish of the day “Roast Burgundy” - very tasty and lots of it.

Ambience very nice. Friendly and attentive staff. Food very tasty, good portions, price performance very good. Eat everything fresh. I waited about 45 minutes for the grilled knuckle. So everything is fresh. Gladly again. Thanks

We spontaneously went here for dinner today and everything was very tasty. Everyone enjoyed it and the portions didn't leave much to be desired. Although it was busy, we were served quickly and friendly. Price/performance top! I can particularly recommend the baked potato with salmon etc. We'd love to come back.

Staff very nice Food took 33 minutes - ok, but it was empty Beer tasting set ok but unfortunately not selectable Some other beers are not available Brauhausschnitzel was ok and after the food was delivered the cutlery came 4 minutes later

Well furnished, staff very friendly, food good

Top food, service on point and very friendly. Portions to fill you up. Price/performance great. Highly recommended, would love to come back. Oh yes...reservation is recommended.

I would like to use this evaluation tool to report on our visit to Gleis 1 in Engelskirchen. When entering the location, an employee checked the vaccination status in conjunction with the identity card. I thought it was good! The modern brewery-style interior is inviting. Now to the essentials...The food was good, the price/performance ratio was good and the portions were appropriately large. The employees who took turns serving us were friendly. So why “only” 3⭐? There is certainly still a need for optimization in the service. The waiting time of over 1 hour for the food is clearly too long. Then unfortunately what we ordered wasn't brought... it can happen... but it shouldn't. The side dishes only came after we asked several times and then the food was already lukewarm almost cold. Sorry, that's a NO GO! The attention of the employees when it comes to reordering drinks or clearing away could also be better! This is certainly due to the situation in which qualified personnel are not available. In the overall package, platform 1 is ok. We will definitely come back again and will certainly receive the service that a guest can expect. Addendum: During our last visit under the new owner, everything was to our complete satisfaction! Now also 5 stars 🌟

The food and the service were very good. The atmosphere is very cozy. Also recommended for vegetarians, if the schnitzel were now available vegetarian, it would be perfect. We'd love to come back.

Food was great, service was very nice, young, open-minded and above all very attentive, I'm happy to keep it up, everything was fine, you can tell that the new owner is there and this is, above all, very positive

Cool location, good cuisine, super young and friendly service... Maybe one or two more on a Saturday evening if it's completely booked? Then the drinks would work quicker 😉

Definitely recommended.Very tasty food at fair prices.Super friendly service and a great selection of drinks.I'll be happy to come back!

Update after reopening Perfect, finally the location is used optimally. Attentive, friendly service, delicious food and an enrichment for Engelskirchen! Previously: Nice location with room for improvement. You sometimes have the feeling that you are dying of thirst at the source... If you call the service, assuming you are noticed, you can place an order and at best you will get your drink, but the service itself will take the offensive, and from itself You don't necessarily have to wait for it to come to the table. We've also been there for carnival, if you want to go to Engekskirchen from Weiberfastnacht to Shrove Monday, WITHOUT being confronted with carnival, platform one is definitely the right place for you! It's a shame, because the location in the center of Engelskirchen would also be ideal for celebrating! Let’s see, the next session is almost in the starting blocks 😉

Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere with background music appropriate to the Christmas season. Good portions and friendly and attentive staff. We'd love to come back.

Had our Christmas party here yesterday. The food was very good and the price-performance ratio was more than ok. The staff was friendly and always quick to help. So I can definitely recommend it. I'll definitely be back.

Was on platform one for the first time today and was completely satisfied. Very tasty food, I ate a rump steak, good drinks, nice ambience, very good and attentive service, very friendly staff, everything was great. I will go again.

I've been here several times and so far it's always been a very nice evening. The service is attentive and the food tastes very good. I can only recommend it!

Exactly what Engelskirchen needed. The pleasant atmosphere brings people together again and the food tastes great! The service is always friendly and quick, definitely recommended👍

The restaurant has a great atmosphere and super delicious food. The service is friendly and attentive, you immediately feel at home. I would definitely like to come back!

Platform 1 in Engelskirchen is a real highlight for everyone who appreciates good food and a cozy atmosphere. The brewery impresses with a great selection of freshly tapped beers and a menu that leaves nothing to be desired. The furnishings and friendly service in particular make the visit an experience. The quality of the food is excellent - the hearty brewery classics are particularly enjoyable. An absolute must when you are in Engelskirchen – we will definitely be back!

We spontaneously decided to eat there on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. We were offered a nice place until 6 p.m. which was completely okay. For starters we had the bread basket and the beef soup, both of which were great and lots of it. For the main course we had the knuckle and Flöns. It was also possible to exchange the inserts. (at no extra cost). Thanks again People kept asking about drinks and also whether everything was okay with the food. Everyone was very friendly. It wasn't the last time we were there but we had a reservation.

Food was average when we were there a while ago, before the ownership change. I haven't eaten there since because the service seemed very lackluster and wasn't friendly enough. Now that my old review has been reported, allegedly for defamation, I won't give the new owners a chance either. That's what reviews are for, reporting my factual description just because you don't like it isn't an honest way.

The food is fresh and very tasty.

👍 It's finally working here... 😀

Schnelle, aufmerksame und freundliche Bedienung, Essen war vom Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis wirklich optimal. Kommen gerne wieder

Very delicious hamburger. Nice place with nice personel. Not very cozy. Not many textiles. High volume.

Good, nice ambience. The service was much better, nicer and, above all, faster than the last visit. We enjoyed the food (including schnitzel, vegetarian burger and Himmel und Ääd). Same thing 🍺.

Very nice restaurant. Good food and not too long waiting times. Waiters don't walk past you and you never sit in front of an empty glass.

The waitress ignored us at first. Not so confident. But when the person in charge took the order, everything worked. Food came quickly and delicious 😋. At the end we were often asked for drinks. With a little bit of routine it becomes possible. Everyone was very friendly.

After visiting the brewery several times, I can only recommend it to everyone. The food is delicious, the waiters are all friendly and the atmosphere is exactly what you would want in a brewery. So if you like going to a brewery but don't always want to drive all the way to Cologne, Gleis 1 is a great alternative.

Everything is tip top! Since the new tenants and the young team moved in, you have felt welcome, well served and very comfortable! I really enjoyed the brewery cuisine served

Very tasty food and very courteous staff. I would happily eat there every day💪🏽

Wir waren mit 8 Personen an einem Sonntagabend im Biergarten und fühlten uns rundum wohl. Getränke kamen zeitnah, Essen durchweg lecker, Bedienung sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Nach der Neueröffnung unter neuer Leitung kann ich das Gleis Eins uneingeschränkt empfehlen - und am besten vorher Tisch reservieren, weil sich die gute Qualität schnell herumgesprochen hat

Everything was right! Food, a crust and fried potatoes, were really tasty 😋. I can only recommend it and will definitely come back.

Platform 1 is definitely worth a visit. A win for Engelskirchen under the new management. Service very friendly, attentive and quick. There were 6 of us there and everyone was very happy with the food. Thank you for a nice evening with you. We'll be back 😁

Was there for the second time today and will be 3, 4 and 5... . Go there too. Hopefully I accept my threat. Keep it up! you are a great TEAM.

The schnitzel in the brewery atmosphere was OK, as was the service, but unfortunately the waiting time was not. No special requests but waiting more than 1 hour is not okay.

Very nice service, food and drink comes quickly and the food tastes very good. A little tip from me is that it's best to make a reservation otherwise it could be difficult to find a place, especially on weekends.

A really nice evening! The food came quickly and was very tasty, especially the dishes with all kinds of potatoes are highly recommended! It's very comfortable to sit inside and outside in a nice atmosphere and the staff and owners were very warm and accommodating. You should definitely try it out 👍

The decor is as usual but the food is very good and the service is great! I can only recommend it.

Really, really tasty. Cool environment and very nice staff :-)

Now we also have brewery food! Delicious 😋

Not a very big one, but a suitable brewery for the place and the surrounding area with very good service. We were invited to a celebration there. Cold and warm buffets were offered with varied and very tasty dishes. When hot food is offered in this way, it is important that it is still warm after half an hour. That was guaranteed here. The price-performance ratio is also right here. Highly recommended!

Went with 6 people. Food very tasty and plentiful. Cologne 😉👍 Absolutely recommended.

Unreservedly recommended! Food very tasty. The staff was so friendly and quick as I have rarely seen anywhere. There were four of us at the table. We were served our food at the same time by two waitresses. The 3 different dishes were all beautifully prepared and delicious. NO comparison to the previous owner!!! Can you have all the bad reviews from the previous owner deleted?!

We were there yesterday. It was very crowded for a Sunday. In this respect, it was also very loud and very restless. Waiting time for food 1 hour and 10 minutes. Food was very good. The salad could be improved. Too much corn and somehow too much dressing and therefore too mushy for us. It's probably a little quieter and more relaxed on a weekday. Overall, significantly improved compared to the previous owner; but with room for improvement.

It was a lovely evening that went well in terms of planning for several guests. We had ordered a buffet for several guests, where there was enough for everyone and the variety of food was all there, just as planned. The food was really very good. From the planning and the preliminary consultation, everything was great!!! Friendly and quick service always ensured there were enough drinks. Leftover food was carefully packed and could be taken away by us and our guests. I can recommend everyone to plan a celebration there with several guests. We'll definitely be happy to go there again and thank you again for this unforgettable evening.

Went there today for the first time since it reopened. It was really fantastic compared to the previous owner. The food tasted great, it was clean and the conditions were very nice. We'll definitely be back. Thanks :)

Super nice brewery with nice service and very tasty food! Gladly again!

After the new tenants took over, we have been to the brewery several times. We always enjoyed the food. The service is very friendly and my food intolerances were never a problem. The PubQuizz is a lot of fun and now you also get something to drink with it. We live in town and are already looking forward to the next visit, as there are always friends in the brewery.

Service top ambience top food top 🥂

Wir waren zu viert im Biergarten zum Essen. Da der komplette Laden voll war, war uns schon klar, dass es wohl etwas dauern wird. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Bestellung wurde schnell entgegengenommen. Bis die Vorspeise (2 x Brotkorb mit Dips) dauerte es ca 80 Minuten. Das Brot und die Dips waren lecker und die Portionsgrösse gut. Bis die Hauptspeisen kamen, vergingen gut 2h. (War wirklich voll und die Bedienungen haben sich die Füße wund gelaufen) Die Portionen waren groß und machen satt. Meine Schnitzel kamen leider aus der Fritteuse und so haben sie auch geschmeckt. Der Rest war durchaus ok. Die Preise waren angemessen. Leider ist der Biergarten durch die angrenzende Bahnstrecke recht laut.

***We were in Engelskirchen again today. The owners of track 1 have changed. This is how I imagine a brewery. It was very good and we would like to come back.***

Under its new tenant and a new team, Platform 1 has developed into a top address in Engelskirchen right from the start. Really good food, good drinks and very attentive and friendly service invite you to linger and more. Really recommended.

Finally, thanks to the new tenants, a brewery that deserves the name. Delicious food at a fair price and friendly, attentive service. Highly recommended!

Finally a new great location for ENGELSKIRCHEN.

A nice beer garden with very friendly staff and delicious food. However, the ambience is not so nice due to the plastic privacy strips in the fence.

Craziness. Not to be compared with the previous tenant. Full marks because everything just fits. Keep it up!!!

Were eating in this restaurant for the first time. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty. In our opinion, we ate the tastiest burger you could get in the area. The salad was also very fresh, varied and tasty.

For the first time in the “new” platform one. After a friendly hello, we started immediately. The drinks were ordered and delivered to the table in no time. The really great menu should offer something for every taste. In contrast to before, everything is freshly prepared here. That's great. There was super attentive and friendly service throughout the evening. Everything is perfectly coordinated here. Our food was at the table at the same time, hot and attractively prepared. It can continue like this. Thanks An absolute win for Engelskirchen. It seems as if the right train has finally arrived at platform one.

Food was absolutely top, the beer garden is beautifully decorated, and the service is always attentive. Highly recommended 👍🏼

Marvelous food and friendly service. I can recommend it!

On the way home we spontaneously had lunch in this lovely restaurant. We received a very friendly welcome and the modern, cozy atmosphere immediately appealed to us. The food was super delicious, especially the chocolate cake recommended to us for dessert - mmmhhh. Good luck to the new tenants (very August 2024) and have fun at the upcoming events 😊

Very friendly staff. Just had a drink but had a very cozy time in the new beer garden. *Unfortunately* no music in the background.

A really great addition to Engelskirchen. Incredibly friendly, great food, fast service and you just feel good.

Went there spontaneously in the afternoon with 10 people and we were immediately and friendly assigned a table.

After the change of tenant, the "framework" finally has a suitable "content"!!! Food and service great, from now on “Gleis 1” is a real recommendation👍

Everything has been great since it reopened in August 2024. Very tasty food, a great selection on the menu, great service and a really nice, relaxed atmosphere.

A great restaurant in the heart of Engelskirchen in a prime location, where you can meet nice people and feel good, is really something special. Delicious food and great hosts definitely contribute to a pleasant experience. Of course we'll be back ;-)

Under new management, the brewery is a real asset to the gastronomy scene in Engelskirchen. We have been there twice and always very satisfied! The kitchen is great and it tastes excellent! The beautiful beer garden invites you to spend a summer evening outside. But you also feel right at home inside. Corinna and Marc Lindner are extremely nice, open-minded hosts and all the other service staff, including the two chefs, are friendly and make you feel like you enjoy working there. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

We had dinner with the family on Thursday evening and were looking forward to a lovely evening. The reservation for a table worked. After the family was complete, we ordered the drinks, there was a large selection for young and old. All the drinks arrived quickly and we ordered the food. Here too the selection was very good, everyone found something tasty. And so it happened that food came at the same time, everyone enjoyed it very much. Thanks to the new operators of “Gleis 1” we had a very nice evening. We'd love to come back.

Super top after the reopening, food great, service “like in old times” top, personal touch visible - very nice. We'll be back. 😀

Very tasty food and friendly, very attentive staff

We had a wonderful stay here, with great service and good food. This wasn't the case a few months ago. There has been a new owner with a new team here since August of this year. Now absolutely recommended. We'd love to come back!!

Finally the train station is a great address in Engelskichen again! Great ambience, attentive service staff and the food tastes great! Big recommendation 👍🏻

New owners - great food, drinks arrived quickly - nice staff. Highly recommended.

Under new management. Very tasty food and friendly service. There were three of us here and everyone enjoyed it. We are already looking forward to the next time. Thanks and keep it up!

It is worth noting to start a restaurant business during a crisis. The house beer, both dark and light, is okay, but doesn't meet the highest standards. Plus points are the nice ambience, although it is interchangeable and could also be at Friesenplatz in Cologne. The audience is accordingly and can change quickly depending on the time. The service is quick and cordial. All in all, definitely a win for the Engelskirchen gastronomic diaspora. There's not much to complain about. Addition from the review of a few months. The magic is gone. You wait forever for your drink, the staff prefers to help themselves. The glasses are half full. The guests are denied this state of matter. The extrapolated time for a solid meal would only allow for one overnight stay. It's disappointing how quickly you can completely destroy your own reputation. The competitors in the big city are calling. Update 8/11/24 It's good again. Change of ownership and perfect beer recommendation made it a good end to the week. Big differences: service! Friendliness. Now I can finally change my rating. That's a nice thing for me too.

It's worth it. Finally Engelskirchen has a place where you can go. Friendly and accommodating despite the crowds. See you soon.

Re-opening from August 1st, 2024: have been there twice: the kitchen is awesome! Everything tastes good! The ambience and service were also great, we were 100% satisfied. Of course it took a little longer on the first day, but all hell broke loose. Then, after a few days, everything went absolutely smoothly. We felt very comfortable and were thrilled by the cozy atmosphere and “Veedel feeling”. Keep it up

Super delicious food and great quality. Very friendly service. Can just be recommended. 👍🏻

Finally a brewery in Engelskirchen where you can have a drink in comfort, not because you have to wait forever to eat and drink, but because you feel good. I wish the Lindner family only the best. We will be there regularly.

After the change of ownership, the restaurant is now finally worth a visit. The food was very tasty!😋 The predominantly young service staff can be a little closer to the guests in order to increase sales of drinks.😉 We'd love to come back!

All good things are 3...... For a few days now, platform 1 has been operated by new tenants. We came with 4 people and were warmly welcomed. The beer garden is large and was well attended. We had 1x burger with fries, 1x steak, also with fries, 1x fish & chips and a large schloot with shrimp. The food was really good. The steak and the patty were on point. The beer batter from the fish was delicious and the fish was juicy. The salad is very diverse with nuts, croutons, orange slices and various leaf lettuces. Nice big prawns that were perfectly fried and the delicious dressing. This definitely wasn't the last visit and next time we'll try the knuckle, which looked so delicious and cross when it was brought to the guest next to us. 😋 Dear team from Gleis Eins....... it was a lovely evening with you. Keep it up. **************************************** On my first visit, in the summer of 2023, I ordered Aperol Spritz. As you know, it consists of 3 ingredients if you don't count the ice cream and the orange slice. Aperol, Prosecco and soda. I got my glass, which was about half full, which made me a bit suspicious, at a price of over 6 euros. There was ice and orange in it. At the first sip, I noticed that soda and prosecco were missing. The waitress apologized, saying, "I didn't know that, I'm new here," and immediately brought me a new drink. Well, that can happen, I thought to myself. 12.1. In 2024, I was in platform 1 with my friend from Cologne and ordered a glass of red wine, she ordered a rose. The first glass was ok so far, even if towards the end I had something in my mouth that didn't belong there. A bit of cork, I thought, but didn't bring it up because I didn't think it was that bad. We both ordered another glass. When I had almost finished the drink, I suddenly had something crunchy in my mouth. I took a closer look at what was left in the glass and saw that the bottom was full of cream of tartar. I was so angry that I stopped the waitress who was on her way to the kitchen to show her. While trying to fish some of the stuff out of the glass, a mouthful of wine got on her shoes. In any case, when I showed it to her, she said it was a sign of quality for a good wine?!??! I told her that wasn't true and asked if she would drink something like that if she got it. The answer was that she didn't drink wine and had only been working here for three months. A few minutes later she came back with her cell phone and said I should talk to her boss, who was on the phone with her. She also believed that the tartar was normal and would form if the wine was left to stand for a few minutes, which would be a sign of a good wine.!?!??! She apologized and I didn't have to pay for this glass but she didn't think it was okay that I spilled the wine on her employee. Dear Platform One team, there is a difference between spilling and pouring. One happens accidentally, the other happens intentionally. Train your staff properly if they have not yet worked in the catering industry and please inform yourself about the special features of the drinks you offer.

Great hospitality and very tasty Cologne cuisine
