Gosch Restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand

Yes, nicely located for chopping

Always happy to come back👍🏼 Tasty, fast, fair prices, and somehow it has a certain flair🙃😉

The usual GOSCH quality, which suffers somewhat in the ambiance department. In my opinion, the Timmendorf branch is a bit undersized, especially compared to Heiligenhafen. Long lines, but the staff manage to manage them using a strict ordering schedule. Kudos! Unfortunately, the preparation time naturally leads to long waits and a bit of confusion. Seats are sometimes scarce, and it feels like people are already seated before the previous customers have even gotten up. Today, on a sunny June day, something like this is more noticeable, even though it's not yet peak season.

Gosch in Timmendorfer Strand is a reliable address for fresh fish of renowned quality – without any surprises, either positive or negative. The selection meets the typical Gosch standard, the food is delicious, and the quality is consistently good. The restaurant is particularly family-friendly, with highchairs available and helpful staff who will even bring them to your table if needed. The spacious terrace and the newly renovated interior invite you to linger, even with children or strollers. While the self-service concept isn't for everyone and the prices are slightly higher, Gosch Timmendorf is overall a recommended place for relaxed fish dishes with a Baltic Sea flair.

Our local delivery driver when we're at the coast. Always worth a visit. 😃

At first, everything looks very inviting, and the staff at the fish sandwich stand are professionally friendly. However, the fish sandwich doesn't deserve its name. A very, very crispy roll, topped with 1.5 pieces of herring and three onion rings. No remoulade, no lettuce, absolutely no love or craftsmanship. You'd probably get a better quality fish sandwich at an alpine pasture. What a shame.

Pretty good food with a nice variety on the menu, convincing in terms of both taste and quantity. I'd give it four stars. However, the price is too high, especially considering the fact that we're talking about fast food here, where the customer does the service themselves. In that respect, the question about tipping when paying is rather odd. Okay, the tables are cleared, but unfortunately they don't wipe them down; at least they're slightly sticky. So, it's okay, but not outstanding.

Drinks at the stand outside are sold selectively by the two guys - male customers should go inside and order there, younger women are happy to be served a minute later.

Worst matjes roll of all time, dry roll without anything and a matjes, loveless beyond belief

Great sauce and tasty crayfish meat, but the penne was lukewarm, overcooked, and floury. A shame considering the price was €19.

Gosch is always good. The food is good, and so are the drinks. Great value for money. I also like the self-service system.

You don't have to go! It's self-service.

Poor quality drinks, way too many ice cubes...result...rip-off I think fish fingers are better

For us, Gosch is simply a must-visit during any stay in Timmendorf. The food is consistently of good quality and tastes really good every time. We especially recommend the grilled Gosch prawns – simply delicious. You can tell they use fresh ingredients. Overall, it's always a relaxed visit with consistently good food – exactly what you want on vacation.

I had two fish sandwiches, very good quality, and a very friendly server. Highly recommended.

Not recommended. The waitress walked past us three times without showing any interest.

Pasta was overcooked and floury. Not enough pesto. Too much oil. Compared to Gosch in neighboring towns, the quality is a six. Dirty table. The requirement to tip when paying by card is unpleasant.

The pasta was okay, but not for the price. The fries were cold and tasteless, but what can you expect when you order after a minute and the food is on your plate straight away. The fried fish could have been from the frozen food section; the lemon was actually the best thing about this dish. Gosch is more like a fast food restaurant. The fact that they actually ask for a tip is a disgrace, because you can't see any service here. I knew I would have to get my food myself, but the worst part was when my hands were full and I asked if I could manage it, I got the unfriendly answer "then go twice" instead of help. I'm not going here again.

Right in the middle of the tourist center, it's nice to sit in a beach chair. Orders are taken rather grumpily. The fish sandwich with fried fish is dripping with grease—better try somewhere else. Absolutely positive: super clean restrooms. So, both good and bad.

Terrible service and rude staff.

Good, tasty food. Self-service.

A typical GOSCH restaurant in Timmendorf. We got a table at lunchtime. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, and delicious.

Quite expensive, but delicious. Typical Gosch.

An absolute no-go... is cleaning the extractor hood during business hours. Unfortunately, I saw it too late; I wouldn't have eaten there.

Always happy to come back...Gosch in Timmendorf on the promenade.

Unfortunately, the quality and temperature of the dishes do not match the prices. I think it's cheeky to then ask for a tip when you're self-service.

Bad food, dirty tables. This has nothing in common with my Gosch on Sylt, where I have been a guest for over 40 years.

In Germany, it is not permitted to withhold or add tips without the customer's consent. Here are some important legal and practical points: 1. Tips are voluntary According to German law (Section 107 of the Trade Regulation Act), tips are voluntary payments made by the customer. They may not be automatically added to the bill unless clearly communicated in advance and accepted by the customer (e.g., with a written notice for large groups). 2. No secret withholding If a service provider or company requests or withholds tips without the customer's knowledge or consent (e.g., through rounding, automatic markups), this may be considered improper or even fraudulent. This can have legal consequences, especially in the commercial sector. 3. Card Payments and Tipping If the customer pays by card, the amount of the tip they wish to give must be clearly communicated. Cashiers may not add anything that was not expressly requested. Conclusion: Tipping without the customer's consent is illegal in Germany. It must always be given voluntarily and knowingly. If you suspect that tips have been collected illegally, you can contact consumer protection or, in serious cases, even the police.

I had left my jacket and all my papers hanging over the chair. The waitress noticed and brought them to safety. Thank you so much. I didn't notice it until I got to Berlin. I was also a guest at Landhaus Carstens. I wouldn't recommend it. Terrible.

"Nudging" when paying with a card at the self-service fish stall. (Predetermined tip amounts at the card payment machine.) I found this unpleasant; I'll buy my fish somewhere else next time.

Fried fish with fries, everything okay

We were there today, I made a mistake and ordered pasta with salmon. The pasta looked as if it had been prepared 3 days ago, completely dried out, but if someone thinks “aldente” no, this is far from it, the sauce is practically absent, the taste is also very not tasty, despite the fact that I was hungry!

GOSCH is actually always great and delicious 😋 we have eaten there in various cities.

Everything fine. Haven't had any bad experiences so far. Good service

Gosch - always a good address for fish lovers!

Portions are rather small, there is not enough bread as an accompaniment, the price/performance leaves a lot to be desired, but the guest just wants good food

Unfortunately not convincing. The Gosch in Timmendorfer Strand is centrally located in the town center. Basically it makes a really nice impression with some tables and beach chairs outside. The food was good, but not great as we know it from before. In terms of price, it is above the level of surrounding restaurants, even though it is self-service. Unfortunately, the staff at the drinks counter weren't particularly friendly either, but the highlight was the question of entering a tip when paying by credit card. For what? We got our own food, the empty dishes weren't cleared away and we also got drinks. So overall not a highlight for us.

There is no service outside. There are 3 counters where you can order yourself. But definitely not everything at one counter. There is no mixer drink outside. You have to get them indoors, but they were non-carbonated. By the way, you have to get food from the other counter. So when in full operation, turn it on 3 times and carry everything yourself. It's better somewhere else...

Unfortunately it has worn off a lot! Starting with the fish roll, MATJES-ONION BREAD, it's not even enough for a lettuce leaf. Service in the KIOSK, well... seats in the beach chairs were pretty dirty. We hope things get better again.

Wonderful sandwiches with different fish - herring, salmon, nordic. Fresh and tasty - goes great with beer!

Fish rolls herring fresh and delicious

Fish and shrimp were too dull and grilled for far too long. Salad is a joke.....plus ready-made fries and ready-made sauces...very unfriendly staff......never again

Unclean, unfriendly. The food no longer tastes good. I remembered Gosch very differently.

We have been “Goschers” for many years but are now appalled by the quality of the food. The plaice was simply dripping with fat, carelessly served with diced bacon in the middle and a mini salad on the side. Fine fish platter just as carelessly prepared, fish completely dry. Fish & chips were tasteless. The fish was most likely fried the second time, as dark and dry as it was. Fries just as dry without salt. And then paid over €60 including Alster and apple spritzer (at a self-service restaurant). Drinks and ambience are good, but in our opinion the food is unreasonable for the price. When we asked for a high chair, we were told by an employee “cleaning things up” (you won’t be able to find a waiter these days) that there were only three high chairs and that we should keep our eyes open ourselves.

I know Gosch, so I was even more surprised here. The service was good, but unfortunately the fish was fried to death and seasoned without any orientation. We had fried fish once and pan fish once, both unfortunately disappointing.

Unfriendly staff and overpriced for mediocre food. Unfortunately our visit to this restaurant was a disappointment. For the price I would have expected better quality. Unfortunately we won't be coming back.

My fried fish was dry, as were the fried potatoes. When paying for the drinks, I noticed that the card payment machine started with two options, enter a tip or round up, and that's when you pick it up from the bar, mh.

We sat in a beach chair in the bright sunshine, ate and drank very heartily. We really liked it and would love to come back.

We had a smoked salmon roll and a herring roll... the roll was probably a bit older and I thought there was a bit of salmon in it... but that might also be a matter of perspective... the herring roll was better (fresher) but the fish was too tough... a shame

Has taken a turn for the worse. Measly lettuce, almost only green leaves swimming in sauce. Fish was very dry. Persona (male) expresses rude.

More than overpriced fish sandwiches. Cheap rolls, more onion than fish. Never again.

The fish sandwiches to go are shameful and unloving. Not recommended.

Unfortunately it is no longer the Gosch it once was. There are Afghans working in this place who have no idea what they are doing and so the fish tastes very, very sad, many have complained but nothing has changed. It's just a franchise and that's how a name gets ruined. In any case, we won't go there anymore.

Then prefer Gosch in Travemünde. Unfortunately very unfriendly staff and not child-friendly welcome. The same people always sit in the seats for hours and sip their first Aperol.

Habe sowas seid 20 Jahren nicht bei Gosch erlebt! Das Personal hat bei der Ausgabe einer falsch Bestellung (Ihrer Seids) einen Ton bei Reklamation erwiedert der nicht in Ordnung ist. Echt erschreckend und beängstigend! Der Geschäftsführer wurde von mir über diesen Vorfall informiert! Ich überlege mir weiterhin dort in meinen weiteren Urlauben weiter essen zu gehen!

Not good today, April 17, 2025. We know Gosch Sylt, Travemünde, Heiligenhafen and Timmendorfer Strand. The fried potatoes were too cold, the fries were very “mushy”. Since the staff is always fluctuating and the food is otherwise consistently good, today was disappointing.

Fisch Brötchen und Getränke geht so , der Rest ist enttäuschend und nicht so richtig GOSCH , das kennen wir anders. Einiges ist auch sicherlich renovierungsbedürftig.

Super delicious food. Super nice employees.

I didn't like it at all. The plaice fillet was dripping with fat and so were the fried potatoes. My wife's currywurst was lukewarm. I only give the star for clean toilets. Furthermore, there is no table service. So it's more like a canteen than a restaurant.

Today I was served by an older gentleman from the stand, unfortunately he didn't think it was necessary to put extra garlic dip on it for me even though I pointed this out to him several times. Instead he said they were pickled so nothing had to be added. He probably doesn't think much of the customer anymore, the other two younger colleagues did a great job and responded to all requests.

Catastrophe, the 2nd time! Thaipenne cold and in Matje's housewife style there was no housewife sauce but sour cream! When I asked for the "right" sauce I was told it was the right sauce, I said it wasn't but was sent away. My husband asked for his Thai penne to be warmed and was only met with a roll of his eyes and then warmed the penne briefly in the microwave! Such an impossible thing! When I asked at the concession stand, I was told that of course there was housewife-style sauce. He then ran and got me hot fried potatoes and the right sauce. However, I was already full from the fish. Nevertheless, thanks to the very hard-working waiter! It's a shame that it can no longer be compared with before, the quality falls by the wayside, unfortunately only mass production!

Unfriendly staff, no coolers available for the bottle of white wine we bought, and no trays to carry your drinks including glasses to the table. Then the realization: the coolers are used here as decoration rather than for the actual purpose of cool drinks. We think it's a nice idea, but who would drink a whole bottle of wine on ex? Or room temperature white wine? The table was also dirty. Unfortunately not a good poster child for the “legendary”?! Gosch…

My fried fish was a complete disaster. They probably used old grease. My companion's shrimp was good, but we were cheated. We ordered and paid for a large portion and received a small one. There was no response to the complaint. There are 2 stars for the super nice service staff. The rest doesn't get a star. It's unbelievable that the locations are so different! In any case, we won't go here anymore. In Scharbeutz it is tens of times better.

Just Gosh. Always the same, but always equally good. And compared to the prices of the other local stores, it's just "cheap".

The location is really beautiful and you can't miss the music either! The food was very tasty but unfortunately not too big. Unfortunately, to make matters worse, my toenails curled while eating. On this occasion, I will forego a higher rating and remain with very mild greetings. Max Doe

We really really liked it. The food was rich and very freshly prepared. We had different dishes and they all looked and tasted very appealing. The service was very attentive. We had a dog with us and a bowl of water was immediately brought to him. During the meal we asked if everything was OK. After the meal, the plates were quickly cleared away. We definitely recommend Gosch Timmendorf.

Always spent lovely evenings with my wife. Great food, great people. We're looking forward to the summer again at Gosch in Timmendorf! 2025

Very tasty crispy fish sandwiches

Finished, salty and overpriced. Never again

Onion rings are so big, I can make onion soup with them. Priced too high for this quality.

Gosch in Timmendorfer Strand is highly recommended, delicious food, delicious drinks, especially the Aperol spritzz and the various wines are highly recommended. My favorite is the Pinot Gris. The herring with fried potatoes and salad is also a real culinary delight. In addition, the prices at Gosch are very reasonable, so red fruit jelly with vanilla sauce and rice pudding round off the dinner. The employees do a great job, are always in a good mood and when the bell rings at the cash register, there is a tip. Please keep it up. Gosch in Timmendorfer Strand is simply part of a perfect Baltic Sea holiday.

Delicious food, otherwise very crowded and very loud.

Recommended for a glass of wine in a modern setting. Gosch is an upscale self-service snack bar. Depending on the crew, the food is sometimes better, and sometimes something is forgotten. Overall, it's manageable; if you complain, you're always offered a new meal without any problems.

It's a shame, the one star only made it because you can't give 0! Fried fish rolls without salad and only one half with a hint of tartar sauce and 2 rings of a huge onion! Not recommended!

Hmm, Gosch St. Peter much better. There wasn't even cucumber salad.

Whoa, loud as if it were a train station in there, parents everywhere with completely unmannered behavior without any behavior. Even our little daughter found it scary. This is more of a fast food restaurant than anything else.

Unfortunately the fish sandwiches have deteriorated a lot. There isn't even a lettuce leaf left.

It's really delicious 😋 It's atmospheric. I recommend it! Be prepared to wait in line...

The food is great as always, but it's sad that you get warmed up noodles 1 hour before closing time. Furthermore, it's a shame that the management decided to close the kitchen before 9 p.m. because there weren't enough paying customers on site. This was given as an answer when asked. It appears that a new licensee has taken over the location. We have been used to better service and customer satisfaction for years. Since our last 2 visits this has sadly declined rapidly. Management should focus on customers instead of the profits on the account.

The kitchen was closed at 7:40 p.m. without prior notice, although this does not meet the usual standards of recent years. The food seemed carelessly warmed up and was far too oily. It's a shame because I was used to much better service.

I ordered a fish soup. Unfortunately the other soups were already gone. The soup wasn't particularly warm and tasted pretty bland. I have never eaten such tasteless fish soup. Is really not recommended. I can recommend the fried fish instead. This tasted good and so did the potato salad.

The first time at Gosch. No idea why he's getting too hyped. Mediocre food, especially the fried potatoes were subpar. Too bad!

Of course very crowded at lunchtime. The staff is on point. The food is good.

Ate a delicious fish sandwich. Here you always get what it promises.👍

The food was tasty, but also high prices for generous portions. No reflection at the table, everything is ordered at the counter, paid for directly and picked up yourself. Upscale snack bar.

Delicious food. Ambience now, after renovation, really pleasant. Finally menus at the table. We always enjoy coming there.

The fried potatoes were cold, the salad had brown edges, the supposedly Steinbeisser was soft and watery with no taste, I'm a Gosch fan, but that doesn't work at all, not even in a fast food chain

Bratkartoffeln waren kalt, der Salat hatte braune Ränder , der Steinbeisser fad und wässrig !!!! Schade , als langjähriger Gast bin ich sehr enttäuscht

Service took a while but was nice. Fish and chips have often been eaten in much better portion sizes and are tastier. The fish rolls were mediocre, rather poor value for money for me.

At first we were "afraid" because we didn't know what to expect in terms of price. But we were pleasantly surprised. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable for the dishes on offer. We even went to Gosch a second time during our short vacation and were not disappointed. Any time.

Food was okay, the fried fish was the only thing on the plate that was hot. The baked potatoes as a side dish seemed to have been cooked a day ago and tasted really bland and stale. Remoulade with the fish didn't taste good at all. This flophouse is very far from a restaurant; it can be seen as more of a "snack bar", if at all. All in all, I won't go here again, even if it's the last thing I can eat and I'm almost starving.

Gosch is not a restaurant but a snack bar. Choose food, pick it up, get drinks yourself, prices are very high. I'll go somewhere else next time.

The fish sandwiches are excellent and reasonably priced. Very friendly service.

Breaded fried fish probably frozen. NaJa.

Okay - we arrived just before 8:00 p.m., but the dish should still be good then. We had the large portion of Gosch shrimp from the grill - they were fried very dark, were a little bitter and a little salty. We know it differently! But the Chardonnay was great as always!

Unpleasant staff. Cold food, smaller fish portions,for this money it is not worth it. It was good but 8-10 years ago.

Sehr netter Service, auch wenn man mit Hund kommt (Golden Retriever). Schöne Einrichtung, leckeres Essen! Immer gerne wieder.

Leider waren wir vom Ambiente wie auch vom Essen etwas enttäuscht - der Fisch war recht trocken gebraten. Die Krabbensuppe war allerdings lecker. Vielleicht hatten wir dieses Mal einfach etwas Pech.

Hello, I actually always eat the salmon noodles! Preferably on Sylt in Wenningstedt, of course! This time it wasn't so great. The sauce was like water and all you could taste was the red pepper, which was in abundance! That was a real shame!!

Good food, nice service, very nice environment. The name Gosch speaks for itself…
