Landgasthaus Eggerscheidt in Ratingen

I met this wonderful young man David who was handling the Bar Counter. It's a family run joint and you can only expect the love you could find from Your own family. Their grilled ribs are very popular (though I have to try them yet). It's better to make a booking and go if you want to go with friends and family. I wish them more and more success and growth.

Seven of us were there for dinner. The table was booked for 6 p.m. Our drink orders were taken. We had to wait 30 minutes for the memory cards because they didn't have any. Then we ordered food, and we waited 90 minutes for that. During that time, food was distributed to other guests who had ordered after us. They also distributed the same dishes we ordered. We spoke to the server, and she got very annoyed because we had said something. But the food was excellent, as always. You have to be prepared to take your time here.

When we wanted to order startes female waitress(tall one) told us that we have one hour and that there is no time to eat starter, that is ok. But later she brought goulash soup but not other soups. She got half things wrong. There was no sauce which we ordered, I got french fries which I did not order, I ordered crocketes. When we told her she answered that she thought we ordered different even though she wrote everything on piece of paper and to make sure I order right I showed with my finger on menu(since my deutsch is not so good). Also we came at 18:25 and food came at 19:34 and we were supposed to leave at 19:30. We are never coming back.

Highly recommended. We'd love to come back.

I "walked in" on a hiking group of over 30 people for lunch there, not surprisingly, but with a reservation. All tables were reserved, we had plenty of space, and the service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. There was no "small group menu," but we were able to choose from the full, regular "large" menu! The first table got their drinks fairly quickly; the wait at the last table was unfortunately a bit longer, but still OK. The food met our expectations: everyone was more than full, and there were hardly any leftovers on their plates! We also tried the spare ribs, and my hikers loved them! The homemade chimi-churri sauce was a great complement to the ribs. We'll stop here again on our next hike!

The food is delicious, the staff is very attentive and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I'd be happy to come back. It's always best to reserve a table.

The ribs are delicious as always. They could only be better if they were easier to remove from the bone. 😋

Very nice staff and very tasty food

Top-notch ribs, chicken wings, and huge, tasty schnitzels at reasonable prices. Always busy, so reservations are recommended.

While searching for good ribs, I stumbled upon the Landgasthaus Eggerscheidt restaurant through some internet research. Judging by the reviews and the online presentation, this restaurant sets the bar very high when it comes to ribs. After a nearly hour-long drive, I was finally able to get a good impression. In addition to a quaint, simple interior with a pub atmosphere, the restaurant offers a beautiful tree-shaded beer garden. A diverse selection of freshly tapped beers is sure to make any beer connoisseur's heart beat faster. The restaurant was very busy, so the lack of staff meant that the wait for both food and drinks was quite long. With a little patience, however, one could have a pleasant and cozy evening. The goulash soup surprised me with a subtly pleasant spiciness in the background. The meat, the consistency, the peppers, and the flavor completely captivated me. The ribs, however, were a different story. Personally, I expect ribs that come off the bone with a bit of skill. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here at all. The flavor of the spice blend is very similar to chicken spice. Don't get me wrong, I really like that flavor, but not on pork ribs. Due to the bite, some of the ribs were a bit dry. The sauce served with them was homemade and very reminiscent of ajvar. Whether this combination of ajvar and ribs works is up to each individual. The silver skin on all five ribs I had allowed for a moderate chewiness. I would ask the chefs to remove it with little effort before preparation. The side salad was delicious and fresh. I, but this is my personal opinion, and taste is subjective, was not satisfied with the ribs. With a little refinement, I'm sure the Eggerscheidt restaurant could serve its guests much better when it comes to ribs. Other restaurants like 12 Apostel or Pinocchio in Wuppertal are a bit ahead here.

The food is, as always, very good! Unfortunately, today we had to wait 45 minutes to order food. It took another two minutes for the food to arrive. It used to be different! The service seems overwhelmed or somewhat disorganized.

Delicious food and drinks! The staff was also super friendly. And it was also very affordable 👍🏻

We had a very pleasant evening. Great food and a lovely atmosphere. Super friendly staff. We'd be happy to come back.

Almost too good to recommend... I actually didn't want to write a review – purely out of self-interest. Because the more people know how amazing this restaurant is, the harder it will be for me to even get a table. But well, I just can't keep my culinary secret to myself any longer. The service? Simply top-notch – super friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It's like coming home to a good friend. And the spare ribs... not just delicious, they're absolutely delicious! If I could, I'd simply adopt the chef. Conclusion: Go. Enjoy. But make a reservation early – I'm afraid you'll need to after this review. And if I can't get a table anytime soon... well, I'll have brought it on myself.

We recently visited the Landgasthaus Eggerscheidt and opted for the "all-you-can-eat" rib menu. The food itself was really good and delicious. There was absolutely nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, the positive impressions were dampened by the extremely long wait times. It took a very long time for our orders to be taken and the food to be served, and reordering ribs also took an extremely long time. Having to wait 30-40 minutes for reordered ribs is simply far too long. When offering "all-you-can-eat," you shouldn't make guests feel like they're wasting as much time as possible to discourage them from ordering again. The waiters were friendly. Overall, the Landgasthaus Eggerscheidt offers a solid foundation with its excellent ribs. If the wait times were optimized, it would definitely be a much more pleasant experience. We hope that this will be improved, as the potential is definitely there.

I recently ate there and was unfortunately quite disappointed. The spare ribs were dry and tough, and the pulled pork, in terms of taste and texture, was very reminiscent of pre-made stuff from a discount store. The color didn't exactly look homemade either. On the plus side, the service was very accommodating with the price. Nevertheless, the question remains as to how this restaurant gets so many positive reviews. Maybe I was just having a bad day, but I wouldn't consider returning.

It's always nice to be here. The staff is super friendly and attentive. And the spare ribs are amazing. Many thanks to Bianca and the entire team for this wonderful afternoon.

Very nice, very tasty, excellent value for money. We waited a bit long for the food, but otherwise everything was good. Suitable for wheelchair users only with assistance.

The best ribs in the world since my childhood. Always a treat.

Highly recommended...will come again

Schnitzel and ribs were great! Service also good. Gladly again!

Unfortunately, we couldn't get room for two. Without a reservation, you can't get in on Sunday!

Absolutely recommended. The Sparerips were a poem. It's been a long time since I've had such good ribs. And the prices are really great. 👍🏼

Delicious food 😋 at fair prices

Classic, good and honest cuisine. Very nice family, from the service to the kitchen.

Great village pub with great savings

Very big recommendation, good food, good menu and great service (thanks Viola)

Absolute recommendation! If you're looking for delicious spare ribs and a very appealing menu, you'll feel right at home here. The extremely friendly service (especially Viola) makes the visit a pleasure. Great and above all thank you very much!

Good, down-to-earth restaurant. Unfortunately, it often takes quite a long time to get your food. Still a clear recommendation!

The specialty of the house and also my favorite are these Delicious grilled spare ribs. Even “all you can eat” on Mondays and Thursdays. Very friendly service, and everything at a reasonable price! Overall great restaurant, highly recommended!

The tastiest ribs and chicken wings I've eaten without using a smoker. I especially like that the ribs and wings here aren't drowned in sauce. The Kaltenberg on tap also tastes very good. Clear recommendation 👍

Der Service zur Mittagszeit war bei unserem Besuch freundlich und schnell. Selbst auf individuelle Bedürfnisse (Vegetarier, Glutenunverträglichkeit) wurde abseits der Karte eingegangen, wenn auch das Gasthaus ganz klar auf konservative Fleischgerichte ausgerichtet ist. Die Fleischgerichte waren frisch und geschmacklich sehr gut, die Portionen absolut ausreichend und im Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in heutiger Zeit sehr gut. Empfehlenswert sind die Rippchen. Wir kommen sicher wieder.

Great spareribs. 🍖 We have done “all you can eat” here many times.

Everything was great, especially the price/performance ratio

Good food, very friendly staff 👍

Were invited to our 80th birthday 🥂it was very nice, service and food were very good.

Very tasty food, friendly service

Durch Zufall sind Inge und ich Ende August bei strahlendem Sonnenschein und voller Neugierde und eher durstig als hungrig im Biergarten an einem Tisch gestrandet, an dem uns ein anderes Paar freundlich beisitzen ließ. Der gebackene Camembert für mich war damals Standard und keine Empfehlung wert, aber die Süßkartoffel-Pommes für Inge waren schon leckerer. Was allerdings um uns herum an Spare Ribs und Chicken Wings verzehrt wurde, hat uns aber dann doch sehr neugierig gemacht. Eine Woche später - wieder an einem Sonntag gegen 21h am Abend - hatten wir drinnen Glück und entdeckten die Spare Ribs in der minimalen Ausgabe als so vorzüglich, dass wir für den nächsten Sonntag Mitte September abends wieder in den Landgasthof wollten und wegen des nun 2 mal erfahrenen Andrangs der vielen Gäste besonders früh da zu sein planten. Doch kurz vor 17h war noch geschlossen und wir lernten, dass erst ab 17h sonntags geöffnet wird. Also vertraten wir uns die Beine und kamen kurz nach 17h in den Gastraum, wo uns die freundliche Tochter des Hauses höflich erklärte, dass es leider keinen freien Platz mehr für uns gab. Also wichtig: am Wochenende immer reservieren!!! Unter der Woche am nächsten Donnerstag hatten wir dann Glück auch ohne Reservierung, testeten die Chicken Wings und genossen wieder die leckeren Pommes von Süßkartoffeln. Dann kam Montag, der 30.09.24 an dem wir gegen 18h Hunger auf Chicken Wings bekamen und sicherheitshalber anriefen, ob 2 Plätze frei wären, was bestätigt wurde. Also haben wir gestern beide die große Portion mit je einem Dutzend Wings bestellt und dazu wieder Süßkartoffel-Pommes und waren begeistert von der immer währenden Qualität. - Und die gibt es nur, wenn die Familie kocht, was mich zur Anerkennung aller Familienmitglieder verleitet - angefangen bei der Senorin des Hauses hinter dem Tresen, über die Küche bis zum allseits immer freundlichen Service, egal ob jung oder alt. - Und weil wir uns schon auf den Gänsebraten zu Sankt Martin am 11.11.2024 freuen, haben wir sofort einen Tisch für 4 Personen vorbestellt und werden bis dahin sicher nicht das letzte Mal in diesem gastlichen Landgasthof mit stets rundum freundlichen Menschen ein gut bürgerliches köstliches Essen genießen. Chapeau und tausend Dank an die Familie Vietz! - Andreas F. Achenbach und Inge Schellenberg

We won't be coming back. Service was nice but there was an hour wait for the food. Schnitzel gardener type was probably not the best choice either. Frozen vegetables mushy, schnitzel with a firm, thin breading, slightly dry, also frozen? Ambience depressing after an hour of waiting. We were happy when we could get some fresh air again.

Nice people, good food, always happy here.

Food excellent. Great service. loveless beer garden. You can do better.

As was the case years ago, delicious food at a reasonable price and top service.

Particularly noteworthy are the ribs. The search for a parking space every time is less good. But we still go there regularly...

The SparRips, known with much praise in advance, turned out to be dry grilled food from which the meat had to be scraped off the bones. The kitchen still has a lot to learn here. The service was friendly but very slow.

Very tasty food at fair prices. The Spar Ribs (all you can eat) are particularly recommended. Staff very friendly!

The food and service were very good. The beer garden could have been swept. Highly recommended 👍 Price performance is very good.

As always....super tasty, great friendly service...always a pleasure

Great food, nice service, highly recommended!😍

The classic dishes have a lot to choose from and it is a very friendly restaurant

A cozy inn with an outdoor terrace. Super nice staff and very good home cooking. The steaks and spare ribs are outstanding. The portions are generous, you should be hungry!!! Order a table, otherwise it will usually be tight. Parking is difficult, but if you can walk a few steps you can find an opportunity on the side streets. We are happy every time we eat at the Landgasthaus Eggerscheid. Everything is perfect here, the kitchen, the staff and the cozy dining room.

Here you can indulge yourself, inside and out. Excellent taste has also been attested by other satisfied guests, the restaurant is well attended, so a reservation is usually necessary. The staff is friendly and pleasant, what more could you want... Thank you

I can really only recommend it, great spareribs.

Very nice, rustic inn with very tasty food and extremely friendly and attentive service. The spareribs are known beyond the borders of Eggerscheidt. Urgent tip: At least reserve for Fri, Sat, Sun.

I was there today I was very impressed by both the staff and the offerings I can only recommend it to anyone who likes home-style cooking We will come back

A good place to eat typical German and European food. Good quality food with a large selection of beers. Prices are fair for the area. The all you can eat formula for ribs on Tuesdays and Thursdays is also excellent. I recommend making a reservation because it is always full. Advised!

Super nice staff. The food was great and we would love to come back to try more dishes. Thanks for the nice evening.

Super satisfied! We recommend!!!

I was just here for a drink. The service was very friendly and the beer was good.

Bad service, disrespectful staff

Bad service, unfriendly, not recommended. Never again! Wish you could give no star at all.

The ribs were delicious as always. Unfortunately we had to wait 1 ½ hours for the food to arrive. Nobody felt it necessary to apologize to us. The service person even looked away. The food wasn't always hot either...

Even though the restaurant was fully booked, we still managed to get a seat. Despite the stress, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The food is very good. The portions just right.

Went there recently for spareribs... Delicious.. Service very friendly.. Pleasant atmosphere.. Happy to come back.. 👍

Very tasty food and nice staff.

So let's start with the fact that you should definitely make a reservation, especially if you want all you can eat spare ribs, otherwise you have no chance. I've never seen the inn empty, but that's not a problem for the service there because the nice ladies are always there quickly. As always, the food is simply delicious, especially the sauce for the ribs is simply brilliant, very reasonably priced, rustic and cozy and what I have to complain about is that there are only five stars for the service because the lady would have a sixth for her lovingly cheerful manner earned.

I go there to eat delicious food and hang out with people in a relaxed atmosphere. Nice atmosphere even at a late hour.

A little insider tip among my friends. A nice little inn with a simple but very good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices. The service staff are always incredibly nice and always look after the guests' well-being, even if it gets a bit stressful because the room is full. The atmosphere is middle-class, cozy, homely. Clear recommendation from me 👍

Always a recommendation for spareribs, rump steak, beef fillet etc. Paradise for meat eaters. Good potions, very nice service in a rustic, rural atmosphere. Good price/performance ratio. You should reserve early, especially on Saturday evenings. You can also order the food to take away.

Very tasty, service just super nice. Just to be missed

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff

I would also give 6 stars. Everything fine

Absolute recommendation for fans of a good piece of meat. Since it's not an insider tip, make sure to reserve in advance and bring your time!

Food was decent ..portion was generous..but service was so slow though friendly

Tolles Essen und toller Tischservice. Sehr empfehlenswert. Kommen immer gern wieder. Alles Gute dem Team!

Sehr leckeres Essen und auch die Bedienung freundlich...leider haben wir eine Stunde und 15 min. auf unser Essen gewartet.

Super Leckeres essen und Preislich mehr als in ordnung super nettes personal jeder zeit wieder !

Wir waren dort heute Essen. Ich hatte Gänsebrust mit Grünkohl und eine Soße . War sehr lecker und die Haut schön knusprig. Mein Freund hatte 1 Dutzend Chicken Wings und eine Folienkartoffel die ihm auch sehr gut geschmeckt haben. Waren jetzt schon mehrmals da und immer wieder lecker und freundliche Bedienung

Bei den Rippchen fehlt ne Auswahl an Saucen

Das Essen war okay, aber die Wartezeit viel zu lange. Wir haben über eine Stunde auf das Essen gewartet. Andere Gäste, die später eingetroffen waren, waren bereits fast fertig mit dem Essen, als wir dann endlich unsere Bestellung serviert bekamen (und nein, wir hatten keine Sonderwünsche oder ähnliches). Auch die Nachfrage nach weiteren Getränken war eher rar. Wären gerne öfter vorbei gekommen, aber so leider nicht.

Tolles Restaurant, nettes Team, gutes Essen! Absolute Empfehlung sind die Schokoküchlein mit flüssigem Kern!

Waren gestern 17.11.23 hier um eine Gänsekeule zu essen. Die Klösse und der Rotkohl waren sehr gut aber die Keule ist nicht zu empfehlen. Die Haut war schön knusprig aber das Fleisch war komplett trocken und dadurch faserig. Bei dem Preis von 31€ absolut nicht zu empfehlen.

Gute bürgerliche Gaststätte. Leckeres Essen, Preis Leistung top.

Einfach unglaublich köstliches Gulasch mit Nudeln! Sparerips sind auch sehr zu empfehlen. Bei Gelegenheit werde ich gern wieder kommen

Immer wieder gerne ! Lachen, Herzlichkeit, leckeres Essen und Bier … dafür komme ich gerne wieder !

Die Rippchen sind u.a. sehr zu empfehlen 👍 Die anderen Speisen sind auch sehr lecker. Preis und Leistung stimmen hier!!! Immer nettes Personal

Gute deutsche Küche, ganz klare Empfehlung! Die 800g Rippchen sind traumhaft! Perfekter Service, nettes Publikum, schöner Biergarten.

Eine sehr schöne Einkehrmöglichkeit während einer Fahrradtour.

Die Rippchen waren zu trocken, Pommes gut. Service sehr flott und freundlich. Ambiente drinnen ok, aber sehr warm. Draußen Biergarten.

Hervorragende Spareribs und Chicken Wings, sehr heiß serviert und gut gewürzt, dazu leckere Pommes. Sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis!!! Wir können das Landgasthaus sehr empfehlen und kommen gerne wieder!!!!!

Sehr leckere Rippchen. Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Mittagstisch. Gerne wieder.

Wie immer ist dort das Essen und Ambiente vom feinsten. Ich werde da immer wieder hingehen

Sehr leckeres Essen, angenehme und zuvorkommende Bedienung. Wir waren an einem Sonntag Abend dort. Sehr lange Wartezeit aufs Essen. Aber wegen Personalmangel nachvollziehbar. Empfehlenswert und gerne wieder!

Über die Jahre hat Haus Eggerscheid seine Qualität erhalten. Wer gut bürgerliche Küche mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Im Sommer kann man im Biergarten draußen sitzen.

Ausgezeichnet wie immer, eine Freude! An einem Abend wie heute, dort zu sitzen, sehr gut zu essen und ein leckeres Altbier, einen Wein oder sonst etwas zu trinken. Gerne wieder!

The restaurant was nice and the staff were wonderful. However, I really don't appreciate allowing dogs/animals into restaurants. Not only do I think this is completely unnecessary, but I happen to be allergic. It ruins my entire dining experience to have allergy issues. (Service animals aside) During our dinner, there were at least 4 dogs nearby. :(

Immer wieder lecker. Die besten Spare Ribs weit und breit. Seit Jahrzehnten Super Qualität.

Einer der besten Restaurants und Gartenlokale in der Umgebung. Tolles Essen. Gute Preise. Nette Bedienung - in mehrere Generationen. Immer einen Besuch wert.

Spare Rips leider nicht in Marinade eingelegt Rumpsteak war ok Salat und Saucen sowie Kroketten werden extra berechnet für 24.50 schon ne Stolze Sache Bedienung sehr Freundlich und schnell

Nette Begrüssung und die Spare ribs all you can eat warenn wieder super lecker. Alles Bestens 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Wir hoffen auf ein 2. besseres mal,die 5 Sterne würden wir gerne geben! Küche und Freundlichkeit sind nicht zu übertreffen! Aber es gibt im Service doch einige Probleme.
