Kindelsberg in Kreuztal

Für eine Einkehr bei einer Wanderung bestens geeignet.

Wir haben unseren 60. Geburtstag in dieser außergewöhnlichen Location gefeiert. Essen, Ambiente und Service waren wirklich hervorragend. Das haben auch unsere Gäste so bewertet. Luis Greis und sein Team haben die Feier für uns zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Wir hatten ein Buffet mit Paprika-Rindergulasch (mega-zart!!!) gebratenem Lachs in Rieslingsoße und gebratener Hühnerbrust auf mediterranem Gemüse mit verschiedenen Beilagen und frischem Salat. Für das super Wetter und den Sonnenuntergang sind wir unserem Gott dankbar! Das war ein Zusatz-Geschenk!

Tolle Lage- immer einen Ausflug wert!

Sehr nette Bedienung. Das Essen war gut, Preis/Leistung stimmt. Die Terasse war geöffnet und es war schön, dort zu sitzen.

Wir waren heute, 11.04.26, zum Mittagessen da: super nette und zuvorkommende junge Servicekraft. Essen war auch lecker, wir kommen gerne wieder!

Hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt.....

Termin gemacht , eine Abteilung nach einer Woche erhalten. Trotzdem einen Tisch bekommen:)

Ein schönes kühles Krombacher mit traumhafter Aussicht nach einer leichten Wanderung. Einfach nur herrlich.

Super Essen. Lecker 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋

Sehr schön renoviert. Hat wirklich gewonnen dadurch. Auch schöner Außenbereich. Super Aussicht 👍 Essen voll in Ordnung und lecker 😋

Nach einer schönen Wanderung bei super Wetter haben wir ein leckeres Schnitzel dort oben bekommen. Essen war lecker Bedienung war freundlich so wie es sein sollte. Wir kommen bestimmt noch mal wieder.

Heute nur ein Kurzbesuch auf dem Kindelsberg bei einer Wanderung. Ganz tolles Ambiente, mit sehr gutem Personal. Sehr freundlich, Kompliment.

Ganz schön gemacht, aber 4,90€ für eine stinknormale Waffel mit Puderzucker?!

Ich war heute das zweite Mal mit meiner Familie dort, die Bedienung kam mir etwas lustlos vor, war aber freundlich! Das Essen ist recht lieblos gestaltet und geschmacklich erinnert es mich eher an eine Imbissbude … das Bier war hervorragend, leider kein Starnberger helles vorhanden. Das Ambiente ist sehr schön, ! Die tische und Bänke waren sehr gepflegt, ! ( Kleine Anmerkung , die Teller sollten nach dem Essen irgendwann auch abgeräumt werden! es war wenig Betrieb also machbar.

Die Leute hier sind super freundlich.

Mein Essen war einfach nur schlecht

Jägerschnitzel mit Päckchensoße und wenigen Pilzen (frisch ??). Kein Starnberger !! Das geht besser.

Wunderschön gelegen . Schöne Aussicht und Ambiente. Leider hat die Qualität des Essens extrem abgenommen.

Lecker Essen, top Service , es hat uns sehr gut gefallen!

It's been a long time since I've been back to Kindelsberg 😊. The food was delicious and plentiful, the prices reasonable, and the service friendly and good. We'll be back.

One star less, because we didn't like being addressed informally by a young woman out of nowhere. A beer glass had a small fly stuck to it, and after informing them that the beer would stay in it for this reason, they smiled away. Food was excellent...

After a long hike up the mountain, this is a wonderful place to stop for a bite to eat. Hearty food and Krombacher beer on tap. Plus, a fantastic view!

Even though we were there with a large group of people, all ordering at the same time, the staff was confident and friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful; we'll definitely be back.

We were there for a company party. The new ambiance was very nice. Unfortunately, the food was completely out of keeping with the price. The schnitzels were completely dry and unseasoned. It felt like they were ancient and had been quickly reheated...at least for those prices, I expect a freshly cooked schnitzel. The price-performance ratio is unfortunately not right here. The bag salad is also completely unacceptable. It's a shame...we can't recommend it.

Definitely recommend it. The food came quickly despite the large number of guests and was very tasty. 😋 The service was very attentive and friendly. 🤗 We love coming to the tower. 👍

We visited the tower again today and enjoyed a very good meal with excellent service, and we didn't have to wait long. Keep up the good work, we'll be back.

The interiors are freshly renovated, modern, and very cozy. Unfortunately, the service is poor. The Kindelsberg is far from a customer-oriented restaurant.

I rode to the tower today with my three horses. We received a very friendly welcome! Buckets of water were brought to our horses, and the four of us girls also received thirst quenchers. Thank you for that!

The ambience is really beautiful, particularly when the weather is nice, but they urgently need to hire more trained staff. Yes, it was busy, but the young girls were completely overwhelmed and, what annoyed me most, they became very snippy. We ordered more fries. After an hour and repeated requests, I went to the front. The kitchen was already washing up and they called out that no order had been received. The waitress was pretty rude to us and acted as if we were impatient guests, no wonder after an hour of waiting. We then said that we didn't need any more fries even though our daughter was hungry, but they should have at least remained friendly and, above all, dealt with our concerns. We could also hear the guests' dissatisfaction around us. But how can it be that the owner isn't there on such nice days, or at least look into better staff? P.S. Afterwards, the waiters were smoking, and people in the restaurant were wondering why the bill hadn't arrived 😅 oh well, we still had a great day and didn't let it spoil our mood. By the way, the food was almost cold 🤷‍♀️

The rest stop has been beautifully renovated inside. Very nice, light-colored furniture. A wonderful ambiance. Very good food and attentive staff. Good service. We were there with 15 people and all the dishes were served together. We will be back!!!

A lovely rest stop, perfect for a hike, bike ride, or simply stopping by by car. Delicious food, friendly service. Everything was great 😊

Highly recommended, very nice gastronomy

A must for everyone... Whether just a drink or delicious food... 👍

The food and service were good, but the ambiance isn't that cozy. The once quaint restaurant has been remodeled with very light-colored furniture. Unfortunately, it's not cozy either, as neither the benches nor the chairs are padded, but rather have wafer-thin felt cushions. That's a real shame 😢 Perhaps this suggestion will be taken into account and the furniture will at least be made a bit more comfortable with upholstery or at least decent seat cushions...

A very beautiful view opens from this place, I haven't been to the cafe so I can't say anything. The view of the city itself is very beautiful, but there is nothing special on this mountain

Very beautiful place and lovely hiking area. I've eaten there before, but earlier. The food was delicious.

We were there on Sunday with our e-bikes. The food was good, the service was young and friendly. We'd love to come back.

We set the Kindelsberg Tower as our mountain bike destination, and we reached it. Unfortunately, everything was closed, so a review is only possible for the outdoor area. However, it has a lot of potential. An incredible view, a beautiful beer garden, and a large terrace are sure to be a great place to celebrate when the restaurant is open, but also to relax.

Nice location, attentive but not intrusive staff. Reasonable value for money. The view is incredibly beautiful.

The location is beautiful and you have a lovely view. The service was good and very helpful. The food, however, leaves a lot to be desired. I don't need to go to a restaurant and pay a lot for cheap things from the supermarket. It's a shame, they could really turn it into a great restaurant with simple, homemade home-cooked meals.

The Kindelsberg, with its atmosphere and view, is highly recommended. The 2 stars for the food aren't due to the taste (I would rate taste as 4 stars), but rather the value for money. For me, the worst thing is going out to eat and not getting full. Unfortunately, that's what happened to everyone at our table, and we're perfectly normal eaters! Four average adults, and no one was full.

Absolutely. I've been there several times now, and I love the bright, friendly ambiance and atmosphere, as well as the team. The food is delicious. A great experience whatever the weather.

Very nicely located. Great for hiking.

Really nice location and the tastiest schnitzel I've eaten in a long time 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great place to eat, drink a lot of Krombacher and get some physical activity by hiking before and after! Have visited several times and have been particularly beautiful since the renovation!

Delicious food, Krombacher beer on tap, and a fantastic view from the terrace. This place is always a delight when you're out hiking and stopping here for a break. I'd love to come back!

We stopped at the rest stop today. The ambience and the service were great, unfortunately our menu didn't work left much to be desired. On the Jägerschnitzel there was a small mushroom and two mushroom stalks and the chicken curry with fresh fruit was lukewarm and with broccoli, carrots and snow peas. A piece of pineapple, two Pieces of peach from a can of fruit salad...so tiny It's a shame...could have been done better. It was certainly our mistake not to have complained.

Went there a few days ago to stop for a coffee after an exhausting hike. Restaurant was quite full, so there is no cozy atmosphere after a hike. When we came in I immediately asked a waitress if there was still a way to get a table for two people. Answer: I'll check immediately. Just then, several seats behind us became available. However, the lady didn't notice this because she was initially serving people who were already taken care of. After waiting 10 minutes in the entrance area we left. By the way, the tables were still free! Conclusion: First of all, don't go there anymore!

We hiked there. Nature is very beautiful to look at. The little paths through the forest are fun. A decent slope for beginners. No problem for experienced people. We had coffee upstairs which was cheaper than expected. View is wonderful. Unfortunately, a lot of trees were felled, as is the case everywhere in Siegerland. The atmosphere in the restaurant is rustic but cozy. After the change of ownership we hiked up here. We waited 10 minutes because all the tables were supposedly full. The waitress walked past us 5 times without saying a word even though several tables were free. We just wanted a coffee...we turned around without a word and left. Won't be coming back either.

The location of the rest stop is very nice, of course on the mountain. The food isn't particularly good, it tastes like ready-made food from a package, so it's not very tasty but it's edible. The service is quite okay. The price of the food is also okay.

Unfortunately, I had a negative experience for the second time. On the first visit there were some dishes on the menu that weren't available, what we were served was only lukewarm to cold. Today there was no goulash again...the alternative order was simply forgotten. And no, not a word of apology... just a sorry, that can happen. NO, it shouldn't. Especially since the restaurant was busy, but everyone had already had their dishes and so there wasn't a big crowd at the time we ordered. Maybe the untrained waitresses, who seemed quite overwhelmed, forgot something, okay, but something like that shouldn't happen to the landlord. Well, fortunately there are other options for stopping off... you won't see us there again, and I can only advise against it... the atmosphere is great, the owner and staff unfortunately 5-

An absolutely fantastic place for a break! The Zum Kindelsberg rest stop is impressive across the board. As soon as you enter, you'll notice the friendly and inviting atmosphere, which will immediately make you forget the stress of the car journey. The culinary offering is outstanding - fresh, high-quality dishes that are prepared with a lot of love. We particularly recommend the regional specialties and the homemade potato salad, which tastes simply heavenly! The prices are more than fair for the quality on offer. The staff also deserve high praise: incredibly friendly, courteous and always keen to make the guests feel comfortable. In addition, there are immaculately clean sanitary facilities, which unfortunately is not a given these days. Whether for a short break or a hearty meal – the Zum Kindelsberg rest stop is the perfect place to recharge your batteries and continue your journey in peace. Unreservedly recommended! I'll definitely be back!

Unfortunately we were a bit disappointed today. The schnitzels are small, dry and salty. The atmosphere is great and always worth a hike but the food today was nothing.

Absolute shame how this place was carelessly reduced to an "Ikea restaurant". Before, it was a place with soul, with culture, with old objects that testified to tradition from a generation long gone. It should be forbidden to place such traditional places in the hands of people who have no sense of culture and history. There is nothing left of the old objects, the beautiful wooden ceiling, the old, cozy curtains, the everyday objects. City whose cheap press plan lamps and generic decoration and colors. Whoever "restored" or commercialized this place and is hopefully reading this: they should be ashamed of themselves!

It was a wonderful meal (tender roast pork) that lived up to its name, everything was just right, the ambience and the service can no longer be beaten. A very big thank you for a really harmonious and great evening in the rest house at Kindelsberg. Thank you dear ones, no one will imitate you so quickly. PS.: Price-performance ratio is right. Just keep going, you are on the right path. THANK YOU Ingeborg Ramona and Harald from Kreuztal.

‼️I had to go here ‼️ My favorite hiking cult place in a new edition. Friendly, well-kept and attentive staff despite the full hut! . Fabian Singer ran with a tray full of pilsner glasses and asked for buyers - TOP! Food came quickly and was tasty. I'm happy that the TURM is in good hands again!

Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit allem. Schneller und freundlicher Service bei ausgebuchtem Haus. Das Essen ist gut bürgerlich und war sehr lecker. Die schlechten Bewertungen kann ich absolut nicht nachvollziehen. Gerne wieder …

Opening times online and in real life are not the same. Let's say the menu is clear, the schnitzel is dry and kind of a chip shop, the ambience doesn't match the wonderful hiking experience around it. Price but ok Hospitable as an ogre.

Die Bedienung war nicht aufmerksam. Wir hatten mehrmals unsere Gläser leer und niemand kam um eine Bestellung auzunehmen. Die Bestellung für das Essen kam erst nachdem wir und mehrmals bemerkbar gemacht haben. Wir waren mit 13 Gästen dort. Bei der Abrechnung waren die in Rechnung gestellten Getränke nicht eindeutig nachvollziehbar. Möglicherweise haben wir mehr Getränke bezahlt als bestellt und serviert wurden. Sehr schade. Alles in allem eine sehr unzufriedenstellender Service.

A beautiful atmosphere. Despite the many customers, within a short time we had a waitress who showed us to the table. Notice that it was a super sunny, ice-cold day and we got a table quickly. The food arrived within 15 minutes and tasted really, really good. We will definitely come back. Thanks to Fabian Singer for the great service and the female staff were also very well looked after, respectful and quick. Despite the burning hut. Thank you

The food doesn't blow us away, but it's okay. Good bourgeois. The service was attentive and friendly.

Kitchen and service tip top! After eating, go up the tower, a real experience.

After the renovation, a great place for dinner and as a hiking destination. Fabian took great care of our group, we will be back.

Everything was great, the food and service were great :)

The overall atmosphere is rustic and inviting. You should make a reservation as the restaurant is usually busy - even in terrible weather, as you can drive to the door if necessary. Food also appealing and good. Definitely recommended.

Das Essen war zum Teil kalt. Desweiteren hat ein Kollege überhaupt kein Essen bekommen. Erst auf mehrmaliges Nachfragen wurde das Essen gebracht. Nicht zu empfehlen.

Absolutely great. Friendly service. Great draft beer from the young lady and an all-round successful evening. We'd love to come back. The food was also delicious and rich.

A very nice team, extremely tasty food and friendly service: everything was perfect. A very clear recommendation

Six of us were there for dinner. Everything was excellent! The service was courteous and the food was delicious. Everything went very quickly and everything was very fresh! Gladly again! It is advisable to reserve a table!!!👍🏼

We were there with friends on Friday evening and were very impressed. The service was consistently friendly, the drinks arrived quickly, and the food was – as we know from Stahlberg – good. We'll definitely be back!

It was busy, but the service could be better

Wir waren mit Freunden zum Abendessen verabredet. Diese Lokalität werden wir in Zukunft meiden. Das Essen war unterste Schublade und nur schwer zu verdauen. Schlechter geht eigentlich nicht mehr. Das Schnitzel war viel zu trocken und in schlechtem Fett, genau wie die Pommes zubereitet. Der dazugehörige Salat nur vom billigsten Eisbergsalat in einer matschigen Soße. Und das alles zu einem hohen Preis. Abgesehen vom sehr schlechten Essen ist das Lokal wegen seiner Lautstärke und dem schlecht gelaunten Personal nicht zu empfehlen. Wirklich schade.

Reserved a week ago and still didn't get a table and were sent away again. This is the second time this has happened. Won't go up anymore now. Not worth it.

We were really looking forward to a piece of cake and coffee. Unfortunately, even after 20 minutes, no service came to the table. It was probably more important to stand in front of the door and smoke. SHAME

We stopped there during a hike and we were welcomed even though there was a lot going on. Unlike other guests, we got something to eat and drink. About the food: the potato soup was very tasty, but the portion should be a little larger and, as I know it, you should include some bread. Just makes a better impression and costs the restaurant next to nothing. Otherwise it was quite nice there. Delicious Krombacher on tap.

We had dinner there with 6 people on the public holiday and had made reservations in advance. I thought it was a shame that I had specifically stated when making the reservation that it was a birthday, but unfortunately nothing was taken into account. I really like the atmosphere, but the tables are really close together. Food came quite quickly, was tasty and portions were OK. Unfortunately we had to wait for the cutlery. Unfortunately, I have to say that the service was a disaster. The waitress was really nice but it took forever to take orders and then it took forever to bring the drinks. The tables were sometimes not cleared and the tables were not even wiped down afterwards. Something definitely needs to change in terms of service. When we collected the money, we were charged too much, which unfortunately only became apparent when we got home. Annoying! The menu in the restaurant does not match the one on the homepage and there are also different prices. How come?! Unfortunately, it is really questionable whether we will come back again. Too bad about the tower.

Cafe on the mountain seven days a week

If you haven't been there yet, you've definitely missed something. A great end to a hike, partying, or simply eating and drinking well. The view is breathtaking. It is advisable to make a reservation here.

Ambiance is good. But that was it. Cake is from the freezer and costs €4. Pieces are different sizes. Long hair in cheesecake. When asked what types of cakes there are, the answer is: we are now defrosting an apple cake. Cups are out, so the coffee takes 30 minutes. Bockwurst tastes like it comes from a can. Very small portion of potato salad. Very disappointed. Won't come back. The climb isn't worth it.

A really nice place, visually... The service and food leave more than to be desired!! With a large group of 14 people, the service and kitchen were more than overwhelmed Only after repeated requests was the cutlery given for the meal. Food only lukewarm. Side salad was served after the meal. Despite repeated requests, a meal was only brought at the end of the evening, with the wrong side dishes and the rest from the pot A nonsense for a dish that costs 23 euros Unfortunately, really not recommended...

After renovation, nice atmosphere. The food used to be better. It looks a bit carelessly made and isn't particularly cheap.

Food was good, waiting time was long (1½ hours) because the restaurant was full on that Sunday with outdoor dining. Nice with children as there is a playground behind the house.

We were there for a birthday party and felt very comfortable!

Been there again after a long time. The restaurant turned out really nice. But the prices also increased. Not justified for what you get. Unfortunately. But still our tower remains our tower. Always beautiful.

Unfortunately the service is more bad than good, sometimes we had to wait 15 minutes to order the drinks and then another several minutes for the drinks. Despite this, the food and the location are very good. The atmosphere after the renovation including the views are also good. I would like to see an improvement in the service.

Very nice view, super friendly staff, but unfortunately the food is no longer what it used to be..

The view etc. is of course absolutely great 👍😊 ​​I only drank a coffee. I can't judge food. The 3 stars are for the prices 🙄 They're really intense.

Top food, great service, beautiful location. We'd love to come back!

We were there for the first time after the new tenant took over. Our fear that our “regular destination” might have changed too much has not come true. Although dripping wet, we were all warmly greeted, taken to the reserved table and served quickly. The food was plentiful and tasty (many dishes from the usual selection), and the atmosphere was very good. Every table was occupied later, and of course - as always - it was correspondingly loud. That’s part of it for us. The rooms have been beautifully renovated without the restaurant losing its rustic charm. Always worth a trip - hopefully next time the weather will be good enough so that we can enjoy the beautiful outdoor terrace and the wonderful view.

You can't offer anything other than promise everything top food service ambience

Schnitzel was very tasty, fresh side salad, great Mediterranean starter. Nice staff, great atmosphere. A successful evening spent with my friends. Gladly again 😊

We were able to get a table at short notice on a Saturday evening. The waitresses were very friendly and the service was good. The food was very tasty and we were very satisfied. A nice evening We'll definitely come back. Picture was taken from the terrace. The view is beautiful. But we sat inside.

Table reservation necessary. The opening and kitchen times are unsuitable for hikers, cyclists... during the weekdays. Unfortunately, a beer and potato salad on the “tower” is only possible to a very limited extent.

After the reopening, we were greeted positively by the new ambience and the very good service. As always, the food was very good, we got a table quickly and were warmly served.

You can argue about the ambience, I like it. But... It can't be that you don't have any fried potatoes left at 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays. After the last order, the beer was poured from several glasses together. An absolute no-go. We will probably never go there again It's a shame actually

Came with great expectations, unfortunately bitterly disappointed!! Service doesn't work, people prefer to smoke and walk around without a plan. Friendliness... none of it!! Cake wasn't a brilliant performance, but overpriced. Ambience very nice, but loud Ballermann music doesn't belong in nature!! THANK YOU but no thanks!! I'm now wondering how long it will last!!??

It's a shame that you can't give out minus stars. Despite pre-ordering a table for 6 people, nothing was prepared. Wrong drinks were served. The food came and we had no cutlery. I don't want to make a statement about the quality of the food. We sat for over an hour with plates not cleared away. etc. The biggest joke at the end! On our bill there were dishes, desserts and drinks that we had ordered or distorted!

Very tasty food and very friendly staff. Although the restaurant was quite full, food and drink came quickly... We would be happy to come back.

Ok as a hiker Restaurant not recommended

Not reachable by phone, only a recorded message asking you to state your reservation request and telephone number. Unfortunately no response, no call back throughout the day despite a new request a few hours later. Conclusion: Very bad service!
