Jakobsklause in Rüdesheim am Rhein

Super delicious food and very friendly staff. We'd love to come back. Keep it up, highly recommended. Top!

The selection of dishes on the menu was rather limited, which isn't a problem in principle. However, there were supposedly other dishes listed on the notices in the entrance area, but they weren't visible in the restaurant. The food was delivered very quickly, and the service was good.

Six of us spontaneously visited the Jakobusklause. A friendly waitress greeted us at the entrance to the beer garden and allowed us to sit outside. The food was good, and minor misunderstandings regarding the side dishes were resolved very confidently and easily by a young waiter – I highly commend that. Less pleasant, however, was the behavior of an older lady serving us. She greeted us with, "Shall we talk about this first?" as we were about to sit down, because she didn't realize her colleague had agreed. She also asked suspiciously later whether we had actually placed our orders, even though we hadn't ordered from her. This unfortunately somewhat dampened the atmosphere. Even when ordering more drinks, we didn't feel particularly appreciated, even though our glasses were visibly empty. In the end, the same older lady also handled the payment – ​​the card payment seemed rather unwelcome, which didn't make a particularly good impression. While I usually tip in cash, I decided not to do so after everything. Conclusion: The food is absolutely fine, and we felt well looked after by most of the waiters. However, the service could still be improved, hence the 3 stars. And no—we weren't a tipsy bachelor party or a "difficult group" that required special treatment.

I wanted to order bratwurst for my American friends. And what stuck with me most was that a younger woman was simply rude and rude to me for no reason. I simply can't understand that kind of behavior, and it immediately made me feel worse.

Very nice, rustic restaurant with beer garden. Delicious food and very friendly service

Great place with delicious, local food. Suitable for the whole family, delicious soups for first courses (not large portions), liked potato pancakes with salmon and horseradish, pork schnitzel and wine. You can also order local coffee - Rüdesheimer Kaffee.

Really great host comes to the table and asks if it tastes good 👍

Simply pleasant and friendly here, good food, and reasonable prices. Be sure to reserve a table in the garden.

Excellent cuisine, quiet atmosphere, courteous service.

The fried potatoes – perfect to perfection! The service is attentive, warm, and simply on point. A special shout-out to Antonella and Genta – they both make the visit a true experience. A restaurant in Rüdesheim that's truly worth a visit, off the beaten track. Authentic, hospitable, and with genuine quality! I agree, the author's uncle.

We ate at several restaurants in Rüdesheim, but this is by far the best.

Great service and the best schnitzel in Rüdesheim. We'll be back!

Unfortunately, the staff were so unfriendly from the start that we and other visitors left straight away.

We had an absolutely unexpected but ridiculous experience. We received a warm welcome! We ordered a beer and, for our meal, were inspired by the wine selection and ordered a bottle of rosé. We both ordered a goulash soup and a main course. After the first mouthful of soup, we savored it, confident that this was going to be a fantastic evening food-wise, because the soup was amazing! Unfortunately, while we were eating the soup, our hostess apologetically brought the salads before the main course. And after the last mouthful of soup, she also apologetically wanted to put all our main courses on the table. I then told her that this was really too fast, and at this speed, we wouldn't even have time to finish our bottle of rosé. She gave us the option of sending the main course back to the kitchen, and we gratefully accepted. A moment later, the chef was standing in the doorway to the terrace, grumbling and gesticulating at our hostess in the direction of our table. I felt offended and felt like we were being criticized for our inappropriate behavior. I confronted our hostess about this, and she told me the chef was angry that we hadn't told her we wanted to eat slowly. I then walked to the kitchen to ask the chef what his problem was. I asked him why we weren't even given time to finish our last mouthful of soup, and his response was that I had no business being in his kitchen. His kitchen means climbing three steps from the restaurant and then one step into his kitchen. All of this happened less than 45 minutes ago, so please forgive my anger. Again, the quality of the food and the hostess are absolutely flawless, but unfortunately, they don't dictate the course of events, and therefore this bad review is entirely due to a grumpy chef who apparently has too much say in this otherwise beautiful restaurant. Regards, Jaap Nonhebel

Very friendly, polite, and attentive service. The steak is highly recommended. The beer garden is cozy and quiet. The restaurant is located away from the madness of the crowds, which is precisely why it's highly recommended.

Everything here is just right, the food is top-notch and the service is absolutely fantastic 👍🏻 we always enjoy coming here.

Nice beer garden, delicious steaks at good prices

So rude waitress that we left straight away. She thought we had chosen a table where it would be hot and then we asked where we should sit, then she just threw the menus down on the table, said we could sit wherever we wanted, it wasn't her decision, then she left 😳 Then we left.

Very tasty steak. Cooked to perfection. I highly recommend it.

Unfriendly shop with terrible service staff, this place doesn't deserve even one star

The boss was very rude. The staff let us sit at a reserved table and informed us of the time. The time was more than sufficient. Shortly afterwards, the owner came and rudely informed us that the table was reserved. Then, 20 minutes later, friends who were standing with us came and said, "Hands off the table!" You could say everything in a different tone. Say, "The boss is king here!" The best part is, we walked by about 30 minutes after the official time and the table was still empty. He should understand that.

Very tasty food, very good service and pleasant atmosphere!!!

After we met two friends, the owner came over and said, "Get away from this table!" We did that, seven people, and we'll never come back!

Seven of us came into the restaurant. We saw a couple of colleagues sitting at the table and were asked to leave by the waiter. Absolutely outrageous.

One of the only restaurants that isn't overrun by tourists. Lots of locals who know the place! The food is traditional, but that's what you come for when you travel! The Schnitzel was very good. Friendly waitresses, but not artificial, as is often the case with tourists.

Excellent food, very friendly service and a beautiful courtyard is everything a great restaurant needs!

The price/performance ratio is still right here. Really delicious food at great prices! Thank you very much, we'll be back.

A quaint restaurant with a great atmosphere. The food is plentiful and very good. The staff was extremely friendly. We certainly won't be there for the last time. Note: The similarity in the names is purely coincidental.

Rude and unpleasant waitress! The food is mediocre at best.

Very friendly service and delicious food

Very, very good food. Very friendly staff. Top address.

Very rustic, traditional restaurant with home-style food. Highly recommended!

Finally something really good in Rüdesheim.

Very good cutlet eaten with fried potatoes. You rarely get something like that these days. Price/performance absolutely okay. The beer garden is very tastefully decorated. We'll be back...

Great restaurant. Went here spontaneously with children. Totally great and courteous service. Very fair priced and not too much hustle and bustle. Thank you very much. Will come back.

Top, top, top! We spent a wonderful evening here. The food was excellent, the rump steak was crispy, tender and cooked to perfection. We really enjoyed the Riesling and Veronika's attentive and extremely friendly service made the evening perfect. We would come back to this cozy beer garden, a little away from the tourist hustle and bustle in Drosselgasse, at any time - 100% recommended.

Top staff, super friendly, on the ball and extremely professional! We had the potato vegetable rosti and the curry. The rösti were extremely tasty - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Accompanied by a delicious wine spritzer - would be happy again...

We were very lucky and got a table without a reservation. The food was excellent as always, and the staff was friendly. We'd happily return.

Very friendly service, authentic, honest cuisine with heart, and a wonderful, traditional, rustic ambiance. A must-visit for us during a stay in Rüdesheim. Highly recommended! 👍🏼

We had lunch here a few times. The food was great, the atmosphere was very inviting and the service/staff was impeccable. We would definitely recommend the restaurant!

Just crazy! Service was super friendly and on the ball. The service team makes it very easy to feel comfortable. The ambience: small but nice. You feel like you're at home. Now to the cook/boss: just a great guy, super friendly and down to earth, always with a saying. And about his cooking skills: 10,000,000 out of 5 stars! I have never eaten such amazing venison goulash as I did at Jakobsklause. Thanks for the lovely evening!

Simply perfect all around. Very good food, very attentive staff and a nice atmosphere. Thank you

The furnishings match the name Jakobusklause, nicely decorated in a cozy old style. The food we had schnitzel was delicious and the staff was very friendly. We'd love to come back😍

The tastiest rump steaks far and wide 🥩👍

We came without a reservation with a small child and were given a table in front of the counter, but it was clear that our child was rather undesirable. Then we were asked if we needed a child's chair, to which we replied in the affirmative. Then we were told there was no room for the stroller and it would always be in the way anyway. We were then allowed to put him in the hallway in front of the toilet. The food was picked up and came quickly. When we wanted to pay the only answer was yes. And when we needed the bill and we wanted to pay by card, all we got was the statement that she had asked and we had said that we wanted to pay in cash. However, that wasn't possible because we didn't have any cash with us. We then asked if she could please cancel and change it. She then sent us to the nearest bank because canceling it would be too time-consuming and she would have asked beforehand. My husband then got up completely perplexed and ran to the bank, I had to wait there with my child. And instead of apologizing for what seemed to be a communication problem, there was just one. “Well then we can finally cash in.” Impossible service! Unfortunately, we have often heard about the "child-unfriendliness" in this restaurant, but thought it was exaggerated. But apparently everything about these statements is true. That was our last visit!

Cozy restaurant in the old town. Delicious food and drinks. Friendly staff. In summer, possibility to sit outside.

I was a bus driver with 40 guests for dinner on December 9, 24 at 6 p.m. Very great atmosphere outside and inside. Price-performance ratio is absolutely great for food and drinks. Very nice boss and cook 👩‍🍳 with really great staff. All my passengers agreed it was a really great evening with very good food 🥘. Here we come again.

Super lovely service and great service. Great food, very tasty! Price performance perfect!

Today after the Christmas market my girlfriend and I went to this restaurant for the first time. We didn't have a reservation and still got a table. Which was positive. However, with the addition we need it again from 8 p.m. However, no one came for this table. We had Jägerschitzel and deer goulash. Both were mediocre. The service that was praised too well in the previous reviews was not available here. We felt a bit taken advantage of. The service ladies created a certain hustle and bustle in the restaurant, which wasn't at all was necessary. At the beginning we were asked whether we wanted to pay in cash or by card. I said, I don't know yet, it depends on how much the bill is. I don't know yet how much I'll drink and whether I might want dessert. All in all ok, but there are other restaurants in Rüdesheim where we feel more comfortable.

Excellent Steak, Service and Atmosphere. Recommended!

I just love this place ☺️ A home-style restaurant where the prices are really reasonable. The room is quaint, cozy and there is something to discover everywhere. The service is friendly and quick. And if you naively didn't reserve, you can still get two seats 💚. You just feel welcome. In summer, the beer garden in the courtyard is an absolute must. 🪴🍻

Very cozy and lovingly furnished restaurant with great staff and delicious food.

Incredibly friendly and attentive ladies in service. Luckily we got a table without a reservation. The food was very good and the wine was delicious. The atmosphere is rustic, you feel like you've been transported straight back to the good old days. Absolutely successful start to a wonderful evening in very beautiful Rüdesheim.

The pork schnitzel consisted almost entirely of tendons and was deglazed with far too much wine, which is why the food only gets 1 star. The service was nice and the ambience was very good.

Had dinner there with 13 people. Price performance great. Service very attentive and quick. Reservation required.

The staff is very courteous and quick and just as attentive. The food - we had the venison goulash, a schnitzel and the chicken nuggets - was brought very quickly. Overall it tasted very good. The venison goulash was butter tender. All in all a very successful evening.

As another customer has already written, I cannot understand this “top service”. When we arrived around 5 p.m., the restaurant was completely empty and we were only offered an uncomfortable table. Apparently everything would otherwise be reserved. Well, if you can afford something like that... But I find it morally questionable. I guess when you're older you're treated better there.

Our dog was immediately welcomed with open arms.

Here you'll find the world's best goulash soup with lots of meat and peppers. It tasted so good that we had to order it again the next day!! The price is also unbeatable!

Was no longer served at 7:30 p.m. and was sent somewhere else. Restaurant was empty. So either it's super exclusive or you're no longer interested. Well, you have to know.

Good food in the cozy beer garden

Nice restaurant, very good food Gladly again at any time

Great restaurant/pub. We sat inside and felt very comfortable. You can have a few beers after your meal. Great host and nice staff. Food is great, price/performance ratio is 100%. We'd love to come back.

Our favorite restaurant when we are in Rüdesheim. Friendly staff, very good schnitzels and a rustic atmosphere. We'd love to come back!

Very tasty food and nice atmosphere

First of all, I have to mention the great service team. Super friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and rich. The selection of food is very good. A real insider tip for us. Always my pleasure.

Away from Drosselgasse and yet central. Here the guest is still a guest. Price performance is top. Many thanks to the team, which is very attentive. Reservations make sense if possible.

Good and tasty cuisine. Friendly service and a cozy place.

Food tasty! Cutlet with pineapple, ham and cheese is simply poetry! Very cheap prices. Delicious pink wine. Great service. I recommend

Super nice service, very quick, friendly and accommodating. It's worth coming here for the service alone. The food was super delicious, the side salad is also great with the schnitzel. Very tasty rosé wine. Highly recommended.

A must-see on our annual visits to the Rheingau. Price/performance ratio is perfectly fine. Attractive menu. Large portions. Friendly service. Nice guest garden

Open also in winter time and so a meeting point for local people. The menu was rather limited with a few extra offers of the day on the slate. I had gulaschsuppe and rumpsteak with Riesling wine . Customers arriving at 9 pm were refused entry.

Very good food with a good price-performance ratio. The marrow dumpling soup was like Grandma's, the rump steak was very tender and fried medium, and the Jakobusklausen schnitzel with Röstis was highly recommended. However, the young lady from the service was very unmotivated and rather rude. Ambiance: rustic, touristy, but cozy. But the toilets urgently need renovation and lots and lots of scented trees. 🫣

We had pre-booked outside for 8 people. Even though all the seats were occupied, things moved quickly. The waitress was very attentive before the glasses were empty. The dishes were delicious - and very large! Quite small prices for that.

From 12:00 p.m. you can sit here comfortably and eat delicious food. There are various dishes, from schnitzel and bratwurst to herring and salad. I had the shepherd's schnitzel filled with feta and served with tomato salad. It was all a success, only the schnitzel was a little too dry in one place or another. But it doesn't hurt the taste 😉 Service was absolutely great and always attentive.

Very tasty food and an extensive menu. Price-performance ratio is absolutely fine here. The staff is quick and very attentive. We always enjoy coming here during a bike tour.

Very tasty and very friendly staff. Greetings from Berlin

Good food, good and pleasant service.

What else do I want to say here? Service is 100%, kitchen is 100% dog-loving, mega ambience, beef goulsch with noodles was perfect, the rump steak was on point, the dog gets a sliced ​​sausage... it couldn't be better. Many thanks to your entire team.

Super fast service, the food was delicious and served quickly. Cozy courtyard to linger. Portions and prices great. Like to set up a large fan because of the heat and smokers.

I had dinner there with my wife today. The taste, quantity and price/performance ratio are absolutely unbeatable. We have been coming back for many years and it is always a pleasure. Very few people can do rump steaks, but Jakobusklause can. Oh, so: The homemade coleslaw and the house dressing are excellent.

Good cuisine, price and performance are right

We're always happy to come back now! Try it once and get hooked! Food top quality! See you soon 👋

I had the impression that one rests on the past and doesn't need to keep up with the times. The dishes are not very imaginative and probably as *ever*. Schnitzel in all variations does not exactly reflect regional wine-growing region cuisine. Potato bags from Bo-Frost are not really good.

Very comfortable and not too crowded. I would love to come back again.

Fabulous. Great meal, friendly service. Excellent price/performance ratio. Found it by chance (Bike Week). Definitely going to be there again next year.

It's always a pleasure to come here. Great food, friendly staff. Simply great👍👍👍👍

Had the pineapple schnitzel, bone marrow dumpling soup and the goulash with noodle. Just amazing and good price. Service great as well.

Great restaurant, super nice service. Were there with a group. Food was available from 12 p.m. But the time was quickly passed with delicious wine and sparkling wine. Everyone enjoyed the food. You can go here often.

Delicious food Price/performance top keep it up Stefan

A 1a Wedschafd. Medels brima, boss clean, you've been looking for something like that for a long time. In short, it couldn't be better. We had marrow dumpling soup, which you can't get in any frills restaurant.

Good home-style, ~18€/main course, frozen side dishes, but a fantastic broth (marrow dumpling soup) and good asparagus soup. You can eat well there, but you shouldn't expect much beyond that. The portions are also very generous! The ambience is a "quiet backyard" that does not have any extravagant or romantic charm. The service staff is rustic, friendly and attentive.

Great location, very tasty food, good wines and spirits, attentive and friendly staff

Closed an hour early one night (rudely turned away), and was members only (not shown on Google or website) the following night (unpleasantly dismissed).

Insider tip. Impeccable, absolutely delicious food and drinks!

Food good, beer garden good, prices fair.

We ate really well there, greetings from Düsseldorf!!!

Goulash was amazing as is the schnitzel. Don’t forget to have the local Riesling:) Thank you to Katarina for amazing service and the great local recommendation’s:)

We were very satisfied. We reserved a table as a large group. The service was great and accommodating. Our food was extremely tasty and the price/performance ratio was perfect.

The food was really tasty and portions were bigger than we expected!
