Krokodil in Rottenburg am Neckar

Just tell me what it was like on April 12th, 2025. I - (we) - were there from around 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. We were a group of about 10 people. A colleague booked a table. Everything worked out great. The service was friendly, quick and, above all, no question or request was too much. People even understood me as a Saarlander. The food was excellent and the prices were also reasonable. I say, nothing more is possible. Paying separately for each guest was absolutely no problem for the service. She kept an overview and was very relaxed and friendly. Thanks to the whole service, you are great - you did a really great job. I'd love to come back. It will definitely be autumn. Good luck from Saarland Bernd Schmidt

Nice restaurant, friendly service staff

My absolute favorite shop, I love the atmosphere there... the breakfast and the peace and quiet that you deserve with first-class service.

We had dinner at Krok today. We were actually really looking forward to it because it was always good before. The restaurant was moderately busy, a waitress came relatively quickly to take the drinks. The drinks came quickly and we ordered food. My husband took an appetizer salad and the croc grill plate, I took the mixed American food. So far so good. The food came quickly and things only went downhill from there. We had food, but no cutlery. When we were given cutlery when we asked, we asked about the starter salad. It was forgotten and brought later. I then asked where the sauces for my meal were. These were also forgotten. When we were finally able to eat, I wasn't actually hungry anymore. Everything was carelessly thrown onto the plate. The fries were almost cold and soggy and didn't even have any salt on them. The spare ribs were tough. There were slices of calapenos in the BBQ sauce, but there was no mention anywhere that the sauce was spicy. My husband's gyro was also tough and the chicken was dry. We didn't even eat half of it. When we asked why the BBQ was spicy and with calapeno slices, the waitress couldn't help us (I'm not allowed to eat calapenos). He wanted to call the manager. He went into the kitchen and the manager was visibly in denial. The waitress said he wasn't there right now. How could he talk to the manager? Apparently he called him. He hadn't had a phone to his ear and we had seen the manager hiding. We now had to pay 62 euros for this, we had water and a small friend and were able to drive home hungry. I will never set foot in this restaurant again and I certainly won't recommend it to others. Pure disappointment.

I wouldn't eat breakfast there anymore, there's no good selection and it's very expensive.

It's become very expensive and I think the quality is declining. But it has to be said that the last time we were in the Krokodil was two years ago. Dessert was done - lava cake - but was made again in the kitchen upon request. It's just stupid when you're the only one eating dessert among all the guests because everyone else has already finished eating and then you just start. I thought the burger was small and would have liked it to be bigger given the price. It wasn't anything special either. Too bad.

Delicious. Had gyros and the quantity was great too.

The burger is small in relation to the bun, but the price is too high for the burger without any side dishes

Overpriced and mediocre food. Service sometimes makes you wait for a long time, even if they have nothing to do

Good restaurant. The food is good, but not cheap either. Salads now also up to €19. Unfortunately, when we were there, some things on the menu weren't available. The drinks are also rather expensive (0.4 for 5€). Value for money a bit too expensive for what you have, but it tastes good. Interior design is a bit more old-fashioned. Bright winter garden is beautiful. But it could also be modernized a bit. Service was great, but there wasn't much going on.

Disappointed and empty wallet after visiting Krok. We won't come back and won't recommend the Krok. There really wasn't much going on and we had been sitting for at least 10-15 minutes, hadn't had the menu in our hands for a few minutes and were trying to make eye contact with the waitress. But she was very busy clearing and cleaning all the neighboring tables. The other waitresses didn't really have anything to do either. At some point someone came. I ordered an oriental bowl with vegan dip for 17 euros. Proud price for a vegetarian dish, you can expect something. Unfortunately, I had to smile when the product arrived. The vegetables on top were all ready-made vegetables, nothing nicely decorated or seasoned, just laid dry on top. I really had to look for the sauce on this dish (I then ordered an additional sauce). The taste was okay. I then noticed that the red cabbage, which was simply placed dry on top, was old and rotten. My mother then showed this to the waitress. Then another lady came and apologized. People have probably often complained about the red cabbage, but the boss wanted it that way, the red cabbage came ready-cut and unfortunately nothing could be done about its appearance. Our suggestion was to change the dish and serve it without red cabbage or not at all. Unfortunately that wouldn't work. Strange. For €17, I expect a vegetarian dish to be fresh, delicious and not a warmed-up, old, ready-made dish. We were then promised hot chocolate on the house as compensation. Anyway. The big hit came at the end, when we wanted to pay, my mother reminded us again that the hot chocolate was on the house, the waitress confirmed this and we were then surprised at the high amount. My mother asked for the bill, whereupon the waitress disappeared into the kitchen and came back and said that she had accidentally paid for the chocolate :D so if I were my mother I wouldn't have given a tip. I have often served at village festivals myself, but I have rarely experienced such poor service. Are you not trained here? The waitresses didn't come once, didn't ask if everything was okay, didn't look into the room or make eye contact with the guests. There was really little going on for us! When we wanted to pay, we called after her as she was at the next table, but she didn't hear us. I then went to the counter myself and asked if we could pay. There are so many jobs where there are no tips, but where people clearly deserve more than the waitresses at Krok. Sorry, but that was nothing. 42€ for a bowl, a soup, two juice spritzers and a cappuccino is just a lot of money. We won't come anymore. This can be done much better elsewhere and cheaper too.

I'm definitely happy to miss it

Price performance is not right for me.

Great cuisine, great prices and great service

The furnishings are a bit outdated. Could use a renovation. We were there on Saturday and the place was moderately busy. However, we had to wait about 15 minutes for the waitress to take our order. Food wasn't that great. Saturday is probably schnitzel day. We ordered that too. Schnitzel was quite ok. The fries were bad, we said this to the waitress, then the chef said he could go home and then we could make it ourselves. Well, not everyone can tolerate criticism. The waitress then brought us ketchup and mayo to make it taste a little more pleasant. The side salad consisted of leaf lettuce and 5 corn kernels. When ordering, two salads were offered to choose from: a special salad consisting only of leaf lettuce or a mixed side salad with various salads. We paid 60 euros for 2x schnitzel with salad and drink. Too expensive for the poor quality food. This was our first and last visit to this restaurant.

Lunch was quite good and served very quickly. More of a place for the evening in terms of ambience. Service was very friendly. Prices are reasonable

Yesterday we were at the Krokodil in Rottenburg for the first time in a long time. We had reserved a table for 5 p.m. unfortunately the waitresses didn't think it was necessary to come to the table to take the order. When I went to the counter after 30 minutes to say we would like to order then someone came to take the order, sorry if there had been no table reserved I would have got up and left after 5 minutes, the shop was very poorly attended and guests who came after us were served before us, something like that doesn't work at all, if the shop is empty the guests aren't served and people could see that we were there.

The food is good as is the service, but the prices are getting more and more expensive.

Very tasty food, especially the side salad tasted great.

Good food, good service. A cozy location, whether in the beer garden, winter garden or playing billiards.

We really enjoy going here and do so regularly. Last Sunday, however, it was a bit annoying... every few minutes an employee came and took something with them... that they didn't clear away our full plates, that would have been it... so that was a very special Sunday

Went there again after a very long time, the food was delicious and so was the service staff Thank you very much for a lovely evening The service is still top and friendly but unfortunately the quality of the food has decreased massively, the fries were cold and mushy, the cordon bleu was quite bland and tasted like frozen goods. What I found really sad was the fact that despite making two complaints, I didn't get any further response. The service person apologized and it was true. For €23 you can and should expect a different quality.

We were here for breakfast. The ambience inside is rather dark and oppressive if you want to have breakfast. We sat outside with our dog, but we were allowed to take it inside with us. Very nice staff. Food was delicious, but has become less and more expensive over the years.

We ordered two burgers and one fries to pick up. Everything went great and we were able to pick up the food after just 15 minutes. Burgers and fries tasted wonderful! But unfortunately after a few bites of my Sunny Burger I noticed a bad taste in the middle. I didn't think anything of it at first and continued eating but the taste wouldn't go away. I then tried the individual parts of the burger and found out that it was the vegetable patty. Unfortunately, this tasted very rancid and somewhat moldy in the middle. I sorted it out and finished eating it without the patty. Both burgers were really tasty and the quick service was also a plus point. It was just a shame that I had to throw out the vegetable patty (which is actually the heart of a burger) halfway through because it just tasted bad from then on.

Full, loud, cramped and dark inside with no windows. Half a zoo on the menu and the Christmas menu was practically meat. Not a single vegetarian or vegan soup, not even tomato soup. Oat milk cappuccino is absurdly expensive at 5.40. Generally completely overpriced. Service friendly. Still won't come back.

The four of us were at the Krok again. Saturday is schnitzel day. As always, we were served quickly and friendly and received our delicious schnitzel with fries or potato salad. The mushroom cream sauce was a highlight. Always my pleasure!!

I can say that this place was always a great choice just recently it got way too expensive for the quality and size so only three stars. Nevertheless, whether you're stopping by for breakfast, enjoying a leisurely lunch, or savoring a delightful dinner, it never disappoints. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, making it perfect for both outdoor and indoor dining. You can truly feel at ease here, as the vibe is totally nice and casual. There’s something on the menu for everyone, which makes it an ideal spot to gather with friends or family. One of the standout features of this restaurant is its fantastic opening hours. They cater to various schedules, allowing you to enjoy a meal whenever it suits you best. Additionally, the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall positive experience. However, I do have to mention one downside that has been bothering me: the salads seem to be getting smaller while also becoming more expensive. It's a bit disappointing because they were once a highlight of my visits. Despite this minor issue, the food remains truly delicious and worth trying. For those driving in, you’ll be pleased to know that there are parking spaces conveniently located right in front of the restaurant. Plus, they accept card payments, making transactions smooth and easy.

So far everything has been delicious. The waitresses are also really nice..

The last time I was here was a few years ago due to a move. Today everything was like before! Very tasty food and super friendly staff!

Very friendly staff, I immediately noticed them positively. Delicious desserts and cool special drinks.

We were served by “Ingra” - incredibly unfriendly and unprofessional. Right from the start we were looked at askance as to whether we had reserved… The restaurant was completely empty except for two tables. Even during the course of the visit, the restaurant didn't fill up any further. When I asked whether the double cheeseburger had double paddy or double cheese, I was literally laughed at and laughed at for this “stupid question”. The burger is of course with double cheese. Was the answer. Tadaaaa what happened? Double paddy…. We had 4 cutlery for 5 people and had to ask for everything else. Food was great :)

Very cozy and the food was excellent. Gladly again

Nice ambience and good food. I like being here. Were there again today and there's nothing to complain about. On the contrary, the service was more than friendly, so there was a good tip

Always worth a visit, even if it's just passing through by bike... Bomb!! Very nice staff 👍🏼

In itself a cool restaurant and good food but 5.30 euros for a wheat is out of proportion... Far too expensive.

For decades it has been a good address to meet friends or just to have something to eat.

Very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and nice staff. Highly recommended.

The first suggestion when it comes to where to eat is always crocodile. Yes, of course we have tried other things, but we always come back to the fantastic restaurant in Rottenburg! With a very large menu, several seating options and great service, I enjoy every second I spend there. The food is not too expensive, the toilets are clean and the staff is very nice. And as if that wasn't enough, there is also the basement where there are several billiard tables, some slot machines and a table football table. It is also possible to book only for this part of the restaurant. It always works fantastically, reliably and friendly. All in all a 10/10 for an evening with family or friends. Highly recommended!

Very good food and friendly service

Apparently it has been renovated since my last visit, which was several years ago. Now much brighter and friendlier. Food, onion roast, was great and not a micro portion either!

Food is okay but nothing special. Quality at best mediocre. I think it's too expensive for what's on offer.

Large parking lot with a split, very nice to look at, rooms with lots of niches and a nice welcome, was there on a Saturday with a friend, noticed the daily specials menu; But we decided on the mixed platters, my friend was very happy with the expensive one, I had the small one with only finger food on it, it was very french-heavy and the chickemwings were killed twice, deep black on the outside and hard, but were edible Inside, otherwise everything was top, including the presentation. The young trainee dropped one of our drinks while stopping at the other table. It took a good 20 minutes for a replacement to arrive (the time from the drop to the replacement at our table (seen by chance but no indication of delay due to the aforementioned incident). The trainee also wasn't communicative when he put down the first drink before umm, he only said mango, but my friend also had mango, the other one had no alcohol, it would have been nice to be able to ask which one it was. The experienced colleague (clean plaster on forehead) was very service-oriented, when she had time it wasn't easy for her but she gave her best and even more, big praise to her, so full marks because I don't rate trainees, they just have to learn it first . !!To the boss/*: the lady deserves a raise, or they are hiring someone else so that the trainee can learn. !!! Trainee is not a full-time worker!!!! In any case, your prices are based on the portion ratio of side dishes/meat/price ratio!

Every time I review it is labeled as “fake”!!

Very nice restaurant, delicious food, friendly service. The atmosphere in Dommer and winter is very appealing.

Was there for lunch, large portion very good for the price!

We were there and ate very tasty roast roast. The service was very friendly and checked at the table at regular intervals to make sure everything was OK. Can only recommend the crocodile.

The food was excellent, the service was very friendly. It's quite expensive, but it's worth it.

Super friendly service but the food is not good at all. Cordon Bleu Schnitzel is not easy to make, I admit, but if it's on the menu it should be doable. Sent back twice during one visit because it wasn't through. As an excuse the chef was new. No problem, but then you adapt the card to your needs. Sausage salad is also not recommended, no broth, oily and above all, for this money there should not only be a huge lettuce leaf on it and not a mass of onions but what you ordered, namely sausage salad.

Perfection with attention to detail. •♡•♡•♡•♡•♡•

Neither the food nor the service met my expectations. Plus high prices...

The four of us spontaneously had dinner at Krokodil on Saturday evening as we had friends from northern Germany visiting. We wanted to give a little insight into “Swabian food”. We were all absolutely thrilled. We then had the Zrschwabian roast beef and the fillet pan to eat. It was all very tasty. The service was also very friendly and nice. We'd love to come back. What else needs to be said is that you can also play darts or billiards with friends in the basement to spend a nice time in the evening.

sehr sehr schlechte bedienung, saßen draußen und haben erstmal auf die karte warten müssen, dann kam keiner mehr um die Bestellung aufzunehmen. sind gegangen, kommen nicht mehr!

Always my pleasure. Food is varied and fresh. Service is very nice.

A huge difference to the service that serves outside on the terrace and that now serves inside. On top of everything, long waiting times. Even if you complain at the counter that you want to pay, no one comes for a long time.

Food is good, portions huge, nice atmosphere!

Good, but nothing outstanding - I think it looks more like a normal student bar to me...

Unfortunately you have to rate it very poorly!! Services = 0 3 people stand together and talk! You order something to drink either it takes 15-20 minutes or it doesn't come at all! Unfortunately not recommended!!!

Service would have been better if Dora or Doro hadn't come across as so arrogant, otherwise the other ladies from the service were suppiduppi

Lots of space outside or inside, large parking lot. Service is top, if something goes wrong it is taken care of immediately.

Da wir öfter vorbeigefahren sind und es Nett und Bodenständig aussah dachten wir das wir das Krokodil mal testen. Reservieren war Problemlos möglich, Parkplätze gibt es auch viele. Uns wurde dann ein Tisch zugewiesen, die Atmosphäre und Deko in diesem „Wintergarten“ ist eher dezent, die Tische lieblos und dazu eher Gartenstühle statt Resturant. Der Gegensatz dazu sind die Preise, Salate 18 Euro, Bowls 20 Euro. Ein Burger mit Dip und Süßkartoffel Pommes kostet fast 20 Euro. Die Beilagen Portion ist klein und die Pommes schmecken wirklich lätschig und fade. Getränke kosten entsprechend auch richtig viel. Zusätzlich werden während man isst um einen rum Tische und Stühle hin und her gebaut, die 2er Tische stehen teilweise so eng das man sich nicht unterhalten kann da die anderen nur 20cm entfernt sitzen. Die Bedienung ist zwar freundlich aber wirkt gestresst, wundert mich nicht da sie scheinbar alleine zig Tische bedienen musste. Prinzipiell ist es nicht schlecht aber der Preis passt nicht zu dem was geboten wird. Wir würden vielleicht wieder zum Tagesessen kommen, da ist es deutlich günstiger. Aber so würde ich es nicht empfehlen können.

Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly. I had dinner at Krokodil with two friends. One of my friends ordered a pulled pork burger where the meat was literally charred/black. After we complained about the burger, the waitress took it away and brought it back shortly after. The charred meat was simply scraped off the burger without putting any fresh meat on it, so there was hardly any meat left on the burger. Only after another complaint was the burger prepared again. In the punch, the chickpeas were not cooked properly and were firm. Unfortunately the punch bowl was mostly filled with rice.

I often come to the Krokodil for breakfast, I like to drive a further distance for it, I haven't been there for a while now. Yesterday I was there again for breakfast, breakfast was great 👍 the bowl, salmon with poached egg, pancakes etc.. without exception perfect 👌 But the service, at least the two ladies who served us, was totally listless and felt annoyed, I've never experienced that before. If you don't feel like working, please make room for others. We arrived and were greeted with a gruff good morning from the older lady, just because we said hello first. I honor and overlook a lot of things, but something like that is listless, no smile, nothing is not honored. First time I can remember leaving without tipping. I usually round up at least €1, but not this time. I've never felt so out of place and I'm sure I won't be back!!!! It's a shame actually...

Die Krokodil Hochzeiten sind vorbei. Der Salat für 17.95 Euro mit wenigen Shrimps war mehr als mickrig, Preis Leistung null, früher waren das noch Salatschüsseln..jetzt kann man ihn suchen in der großen Schüssel. Das Rigartoni al Forno pfurztrocken....keine Soße...Preise Gross ,Essen klein...leider, leider

Great location and super nice staff

Disappointed with the Caesar salad we ordered.. Three pieces of chicken and only green salad for just under €18.. strong profit margin, weak performance

I was very satisfied!!!Really good and professional team👌👌👌👍👍👍

Great, nice service. Really great food

Very nicely done, comfortable seats and a nice atmosphere. Unfortunately the waitress didn't come to the table after we finished drinking. Then I went in to pay. There were also a lot of wasps outside, so we wanted to leave quickly.

The employees are very nice, friendly and helpful. Even during peak times, the employees are relaxed. The food tastes very good, it is freshly prepared and the portions are also ok. The prices are consistent with the current situations. There is a lot of outside area and the inside area is also very spacious, The toilets are in the basement, unfortunately not accessible with a wheelchair. There are a lot of parking spaces in front of the house, access to the restaurant and the restaurant itself is barrier-free, although there are a few steps in the restaurant.

Food is delicious. The sauce is way too much and the prices are quite incredibly expensive.

A nice place to hang out with friends. Good food. There is a game room in the basement where you can play pool and darts and many other things. Definitely a must visit place.

Were on the motorhome parking space and used Maps to look for a restaurant. Found Kroko and were very satisfied. The food was good, the portions were generous and the service was very friendly. It's a shame that the journey from Freiburg is a bit long, otherwise we would come more often. Thanks again for the friendly service.

I lived in Rottenburg for a while and was only now in the Krokodil. It's a shame because I missed something. The atmosphere is great, pub inside, more of a beach bar outside. In addition to toilets, there are billiard tables and other gaming options downstairs. The food is good, the menu is broad and there is something for everyone. My fries were a bit weak for me, but that's a matter of taste... I will gladly come again.

Great service, good cuisine, staff always on the ball and large parking lot in front of the house. Ideal meeting point.

I am very very disappointed and will probably not come back. None of the three waitresses had any idea what they were doing at any time. The “fried” Maultaschen we ordered came to the table slippery, mushy and drowned in onions. It tasted like it was frozen and thawed. We originally wanted to order dessert, but then decided against it. I had stomach pain.

What was a short “pit stop” on our bike tour turned into a longer stay ;-) the lasagne we ordered was extremely tasty and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We'd love to come back. A few seat cushions outside would be great

I haven't been to the Rottenburger Krokodil since the 90s. In terms of furnishings, not much seems to have changed. The cocktails were good, there's nothing to say 🍹 There is a deduction for the service: My order was accepted in a friendly manner, then the young woman disappeared without a word 🤷‍♂️ After the drinks came we were overlooked for the rest of the evening. It was a Sunday evening and there was almost nothing going on. What was a bit awkward was that all the tables around us were cleaned with harsh cleaning agents during our visit. Commendable effort, but it was definitely the wrong time. Probably really bad timing on our part, so I don't want to deduct any more stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ich hatte Mozzarella Fries bestellt. Für den Dip musste ich 2 Euro zusätzlich zahlen. Mir wurden die industriell hergestellten Fries in einer kleinen Portion überbracht. Das war es nicht wert!

We were also allowed in with a dog...

Delicious vegan burger. Very friendly staff.

Die Bedienung ist nett, das Essen kam relativ schnell. Die Preise dafür sind gut und es hat gut geschmeckt. Die Portionen normal bzw sehr gut. Eine faire Option.

Very expensive and the condition just takes a long time for the order to arrive at the table.. incredibly bad service.

Very friendly and attentive service. Food was great. We had various burgers, including vegetarian ones, Maultaschen pan and turkey steak. Everyone was very satisfied. Thumbs up.

Nice, large restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service. Enjoy your meal. Large selection of food and drinks. Lots of parking spaces.

The quality of the products served was OK. However, you would be disappointed for the selling price. Comparable restaurants are either cheaper or have better quality products. Perhaps it is better in the long term to reduce the product variety and instead focus on higher product quality.

Super friendly service, the bowls are very tasty and well prepared, I drank "Strawberry Lime", I could have fooled myself, outside where I was sitting the ambience wasn't that overwhelming, it was just like being in a beer garden, but it is It's even nicer inside, e.g. a cool red British telephone box as a coat rack: great idea! Gladly again!!!

Big portion. Good value for money.

We arrived late at night. We got a nice place straight away without registering and that on Saturday evening. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The food is awesome. Really delicious. The portions are really big. I'm happy to travel almost an hour to get there. I'd love to come back

Had a very good breakfast there today. Nice service

It used to be better, but the food doesn't taste as good anymore. The weekly menu is a nice idea.

The employees and the owner are super nice, friendly people, you can also order takeaway if you call in advance. Overall pretty relaxed and relaxed. Food is good too.

Very good food. The salads are top.

First of all: we weren't here to eat. What we saw on other plates looked very fine. We came here to play pool and have a drink. The games/billiards/darts room is unfortunately treated quite neglected. It's pitch black, a bit "smoky" with the smeared walls and it smells like old, cold smoke... there's not even a bit of background noise or anything like that. I can live with all of that, but the pool tables are in a dilapidated state! The fabric is torn and has holes in it, the boards can only be described as curves at best, the lamps could be better. Even a few of the balls have flaws. I can't judge cues, we have our own. It's a shame and also unreasonable for the prices. The restaurant area upstairs looks completely different. Clean and groomed. The service was ok!

The food is good value for money, the service is also good, the employees are very friendly!

Well... there wasn't the right food for us, but the staff was very nice

Sit comfortably, preferably outside on the terrace, and enjoy extremely delicious food in a relaxed atmosphere. The menu offers a lot of variety and there is something for every taste. If you want to spend a little more time, you can choose from the pool table or the vending machines indoors. Nothing stands in the way of a lovely evening in company.

Unfortunately the fries were a bit weak, the burger was good. Incompatibilities are only partially known, but requests were implemented immediately.

Nice staff, good service in a nice atmosphere, what more could you want.

Unfortunately, I had to notice how there were beetles in our neighbors' salad. This was taken with humor, but it was still absurd.

The meat was pink, there was a hair in the burger and the iced tea consisted of ice cubes
