Leib und Seele in Bad Rothenfelde

I'm just shocked! Date: April 15, 2025 At first, visiting this place seemed like a good choice, the place was busy and we were looking forward to a pleasant meal. However, the first irritation occurred when we placed our order when we noticed the owner was slightly annoyed. A circumstance that could have been overlooked, after all, everyone has a bad day sometimes. However, the truly shocking and absolutely unacceptable behavior occurred when dealing with a simple child's order. My friend asked to change her 4-year-old son's order - a request that should be a minor thing in any restaurant that values ​​customer satisfaction. Instead of a professional response, we witnessed a completely over-the-top, disrespectful outburst from the owner himself, who shouted throughout the store, "She was getting on my nerves anyway, go eat somewhere else." To experience such stress and exposure in what should be a peaceful family meal is absolutely unacceptable. This type of behavior towards guests - especially in the presence of small children - is not only unacceptable, but simply disgraceful for the restaurant. This incident affected us deeply and forced us to leave the restaurant immediately. It is unfortunate that the management of a seemingly renowned place shows so little consideration and empathy towards its guests. There are many restaurants that offer excellent service and respect for their customers - unfortunately, Restaurant Leib und Seele is definitely not one of them. For anyone who values ​​a friendly atmosphere and respectful interaction, I recommend looking for other locations. Our experience at [Restaurant leib und Seele] was deeply disappointing and shows that the focus here is not on the customer, but on the whims of the owner.

The best schnitzel I've ever eaten in Germany. I travel 20 km to eat it. The ladies make the schnitzel themselves. It's delicious, I recommend it...

Nice clean shop Price performance is also right Service exemplary

It was very, very good and the service was very funny and in a good mood!

Four of us ate there. Sufficient and varied menu with exceptional dishes. For example, currywurst, Greek or Russian style, etc.! 👍 Service is very to simply friendly. Communicative, open-minded and brought my forgotten scarf hundreds of meters after me. Really recommended. The only unavoidable drawback: it is located on the town thoroughfares. Definitely again on your next visit 👍👏💪😎

You can eat delicious food here. Top staff.

We were here to eat. We were not received kindly at 6 p.m. Turned out to close at 7pm. They actually looked away from you. Everything cleared away immediately. Older ladies always stand at a distance and watch you to see if they can clear the dishes. Staff will be cleaning and cleaning up around you hours before closing. I had never experienced this before. Food was also not really prepared with care. (Way too much sauce on the hamburger bun and it was greasy). What we were looking forward to on the day out was a big disappointment.

The chicken schnitzel was made from cheap pressed meat and cooked in a frying pan. The salad with a drop of dressing from the bottle. Leave everything on the plate except the croquettes. :-(

We've been there several times during rehab and really enjoyed the huge portion of fries and the very good burgers!

Extremely unfriendly staff. You don't feel welcome at all.

I tried to order fries through the window outside the store. After a long wait, I tried to get my attention by saying “Hello” and nodding. Shortly afterwards I was noticed by a man with white-gray hair, who then just shook his head in derision. Instead of saying quickly that I will be served soon or that it will take a while (understandable when there is a lot going on), the customer has to be content with such an obscene gesture. There are rumors going around in Rothenfelde that the boss who matches the personal description is said to be a choleric. This can now apparently be confirmed. Even though it is a to-go counter, the staff cannot treat walk-ins that way. Bet: 6!

Mixture of snack bar and restaurant - but very nice. A vegan dish on the menu would be great - like fries and salad - but delicious

Booked a table specifically for Valentine's Day with my girlfriend. Arrived on time and asked for our table. A table for 4 had just become free. It was then suggested to us that since we were busy, we should share the table, kind of hostel style. No thanks, service absolutely poor.

We were happy to put our hearts and souls there because even wheelchair users are very welcome there. We received excellent service, tables were moved, and everything was taken for granted. We will definitely come back again

The shop is somehow a mixture of a fast food restaurant and a snack bar. Been there several times over the years. The burgers are quite okay. The coffee is mediocre, more like the bakery around the corner. Otherwise everything is typical convenience food, quick, easy, cheap. The potato pancakes are terrible, but they have nothing in common with potato pancakes; even the packaged ones from the supermarket are better. Side salad? Fresh - okay, a few drops of dressing, mainly white cabbage. You can, but you don't have to. You'll look in vain for modern, hand-made dishes, and certainly nothing for those who like veggies. All in all, it's more of a snack bar with seats, although the seating is sometimes very worn.

Soooooooo delicious and friendly staff!! That's supposed to be a french fry?? That was even enough for 3 people! Always happy 🫶🏻

Disappointing service - never again! The three of us wanted to eat in this restaurant and sit at a free table for four. We were rudely denied this, even though there was enough space. The service was rude and unaccommodating from the start. When we decided to order takeaway instead, the window was literally slammed in our faces. An absolute no-go! Such behavior towards guests is unacceptable.

Dishes are very tasty and you'll be full too. Prices are completely okay and I'll be happy to come back.

We've been there several times now and we've always enjoyed it. It's always pretty quick and the service is quick. But you can't expect a smile or a kind word there. All employees and also the “boss” and “boss” make an annoyed impression. It's actually a shame, it makes a nice store unattractive for us.

Delicious food, fries barely cooked through. Sauces delicious. great service, ambience works

This amazing little restaurant blew me away! The menu is varied and offers something for every taste. The quality of the ingredients is great and the preparation is simply perfect. The service was quick, attentive, very friendly and very professional. I'll definitely come back sometime!

I can understand nothing except selling a house when there's a lot to do, but absolutely unfriendliness isn't why I'm taking my money elsewhere from now on. Been their guest for a long time. I won't let myself be puffed up.

If you are looking for a place where you can eat a delicious schnitzel, then this restaurant is definitely recommended. The schnitzels are not only tasty, but also perfectly prepared. It's a place you definitely don't want to miss if you're a fan of this classic. In addition to the excellent food, the service here is also excellent. The staff is very nice and helpful, which contributes to a pleasant dining experience. Whether you have questions about the menu or special requests, the team is ready to help you. Anyone looking for a tasty schnitzel and a warm welcome should definitely visit this restaurant. You won't be disappointed!

A special kind of snack bar. Great food, something special for a snack bar. That's why it's a great name......A place for body and soul. Thank you again and again.

Very nice shop and really good service, which is rare

I am looking for a female guest who ate with you today with her mother and grandmother. I was there with my parents, we sat next to you and my mom talked to you the whole time. You have Russian roots, come from Omsk and live in OS. We come from Rheda-WD and I missed the moment to ask you for your Insta/number...😣😣 Please get in touch if you read this: @dima.2894

Cool shop... Mixture of snack bar, restaurant, café... Brilliant menu - something for everyone... there's even mom's cooking here... Very tasty, well prepared, great value for money... Fast, very friendly service... You should definitely visit!

You have to be there early enough 😄😉😊

I had to wait outside for take-away food, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's not exactly hospitable either. The small schnitzels are expensive. The hunter's sauce was too floury. The fries were ok, not too salty!

Good burgers, fresh preparation.

They just have to have new chairs, otherwise everything is great

Everything great and exquisite. Maybe we'll see each other again. Was in town for deer. Keep it up. 💯👍🙏👍

A great little restaurant with super nice staff!!! Right at the beginning we were asked if we were smokers (we weren't) and the ashtray was removed - very pleasant. The food and drinks were automatically assigned to the right people - very pleasant. At the sprout he asked if you wanted water with it - very pleasant. And the food tasted very tasty. Really recommended.

Food tastes very good. The portions are plentiful. The price for a health resort is fair. Staff friendly, even when the shop is open, mostly on Sundays, bursting at the seams.

Great restaurant, very tasty food, especially hamburgers and fries, friendly staff, everything was great

Very good snack food freshly prepared. Price performance very good. Especially great for families with the absolutely unbeatable cheap children's meals including a drink.

Soooo delicious food, we're happy to come back 80km (combined with a nice walk at the salt pans).

We were on a short visit to the graduation towers and happened to end up at Leiv & Seele. The quality of the food was consistently convincing. Great. I would love to eat there again on my next visit.

Top. Very friendly and attentive staff. Very good meal!!!

Very nice service, food great. Adjusted price. Would love to come back.

Good portions, fair price, only I got a not so good schnitzel (a bit tough and small pieces of gristle). Otherwise the goulash soup is bomb, unfortunately it was out. Otherwise everything is tasty, from burgers to schnitzel.

The classic citizen at “Leib & Seele” was a pleasure. The juicy patty, the fresh ingredients and the crispy bun harmonized perfectly. The service was friendly and the atmosphere cozy. A must for all burger lovers!

Rating for love and soul I recently had the pleasure of dining at the “Lieb und Seele” restaurant in Bad Rothenfelde and it was a wonderful experience. Of particular note is the burger, which really impressed me. The burger was relatively crispy and had an aromatic smoky flavor that went perfectly with the flavor of the meat. The court's presentation was also remarkable. The plate was elongated and design-oriented, which gave the dish an additional aesthetic touch. It was truly a delight, not only in terms of taste but also visually. The service was excellent. We were asked several times if we liked it and I felt cared for and well looked after. Everything was fine. I found the drink prices a little excessive, but the price of the food was absolutely acceptable. Overall, the price-performance ratio was very good. Overall, the food was excellently prepared and there was a lot to admire. I can recommend “Love and Soul” to anyone looking for a culinary experience that pleases both the palate and the eye.

Food ok. Service unfriendly. There’s certainly a better way!

The food is completely fine. It tasted good and the portions were good too. A bit more advice (or more extensive description on the map) would be helpful. Without this, we now had a large "side salad" and an extra salad because no one told us that the side salad was really big. The toilets were clean, the staff was friendly, so everything was actually great. The bratwurst variations are funny (but we didn't try them).

Die bestellten Gerichte waren sehr lecker und besonders die Suppen haben gut geschmeckt. Auch Schnitzel, Försterspieß und Burger waren perfekt und auf der Grillplatte gebraten. Wir haben alles telefonisch bestellt und 30 Minuten später abholen können. Freundlicher Service und angemessene Preise werden uns wieder hierher zurück bringen.

Unfortunately after many years I have to downgrade my rating..... Food is miserable, service "is okay"... So cheap snack for a lot of money... Sorry. Simply disgusting.

There were four of us and we ordered 4 meals and different drinks. A homemade drink didn't taste good and we wanted to order a different drink. We didn't get another drink, even though we wanted to pay for the previous drink. The waiter refused, saying that it could happen again because they were homemade drinks and were made with a lot of work. We wanted to pay for everything and was completely unfriendly. The boss didn't want to know anything about it and could write a review.

Yesterday our children received such an unfriendly welcome that we immediately ran away.

Wir bekamen einen Waldmeistersaft, der ungenießbar war und wollten ihn bezahlen und ein neues Getränk bestellen aber der Kellner hat es abgelehnt und wollte meiner Frau kein neues Getränk bringen, da es ihr vielleicht auch nicht geschmeckt hätte. Der Chef wollte sich meine Kritik nicht einmal anhören. Nie wieder!

Essen ist fürchterlich.... Service versucht nett zu sein, aber schaffen es nicht... Industriewahre, billigste, Reibekuchen aus Kartoffelbrei und dunkel braun frittiert dazu Apfelmus wie Babybrei mit Kristallzucker. Also billige Imbiss wahren für viel Geld... Nicht zum empfehlen.

Unfortunately I was very disappointed today. I had ordered wedges and wanted to have 2 fried eggs on the wedges. Unfortunately, this request was canceled because the wedges are only served in a wire basket. That was fine with me too and so I placed the order. The waiter who served us then went to the cook and made fun of her about my “weird” order. The food was just average. The day before, I had already ordered a portion of fries from the to-go window. I was served so cheekily by a visibly annoyed person that I was glad I ordered take-away. Apparently the store didn't want to take advantage of the second chance either, so I'll probably never set foot in it again.

Worst service. My wife and I, who sit in a wheelchair, were forbidden from eating the goods we bought at the window and eating them at the table next to us. When asked, the VAT difference was stated, although the price in the store was the same. Naughty and stupid. That's it. Thank you for that. Then we ate on the bench opposite at the bus stop.

We walked to you from the ice cream parlor next door. Everyone had a scoop of ice cream and we would have liked to finish our ice cream at your table outside and then order something from you. Then the waiter came and asked us unkindly: what are we planning to do here? We would like to have the menu, his statement then please leave the table and eat your ice cream somewhere else. So excuse me, what country do we live in, what's the difference between whether we finish our ice cream at the table and order it or get up and stand in the corner next to the restaurant? The waiter's statement: "We are not an ice cream parlor!" Sorry but that's impossible. Lost customers, we won't come back so quickly after being kicked out.

Delicious schnitzels at good prices, very friendly service

Great food and very good service, always happy to try the homemade fried potatoes like your mother makes

I've come here a few times. Then I drank a coffee. I ate there on May 3rd, 2024. The food tasted really good. On the less pleasant side: Two young girls made taking the order an experience. Poor communication and later problems when paying due to incorrect money being returned is still understandable. The present boss is different. He made a disrespectful and, due to a mishap, condescending comment that was condescending to my detriment. I was able to find out at a neighboring table that he can do it differently. (were probably friends) Two stars because of the food. I won't go there again

Delicious food and 🍹u d 🍰🎂... attentive service...great team....very clean... We are back soon!!

Everything is very good 👍,. Can't understand the negative reviews here

Food really great! Service very very bad and rude! No thanks if there is a tip!

The service is really super nice. The location is great and the food is okay, solid average. The prices are local and I enjoy being here and would be happy to come back.

I like going to Germany. The vast majority of people there are friendly. But I can only call the staff of this business very unfriendly. We ordered two fries. My girlfriend prefers the sauce not above the fries, but next to it. So I asked if that was possible. We were laughed at as if we were asking something very ridiculous. There was a whole explanation as to why that was not possible. But if one had wanted, it was of course perfectly possible. It was just a matter of not wanting to. But that wasn't the only thing. Because we had already walked quite a few kilometers that day, my girlfriend sat down while we waited for the order. They were shouted at that it was 'to go' and that they were not allowed to sit. My girlfriend stood up and then I was given another explanation that we were not allowed to sit there. I suspect there are too many tourists here. Otherwise you can't afford that kind of behavior. By the way, the fries tasted great. But the service left a bitter aftertaste.

Except for the worn chairs, everything was great! And since I sit on the chairs (so I can't see them) and the food is always good and fresh, 5 stars. I recommend this place. I always go there when I'm in Bad Rothenfelde. Great staff 🥰

Good snack bar with a large selection of meals. The service was friendly and the food was delivered quickly. The prices were also reasonable. We liked it here.

Delicious food, friendly service

Food was good, male staff was very rude and couldn't even say "hello" when greeting

We had a huge fries to go! Freshly prepared, super tasty and almost impossible to make. Despite the huge queue in front of the ticket office, everything went quickly thanks to the super competent and very friendly service staff. Gladly again

There isn't always time to be out of the house. Great if you have an extra 25 km drive and are looking forward to a hot dog. Simply hang a cardboard sign in the window. Customer-friendly is different. The staff behind the counter were taciturn and unfriendly.

Wonderful ambience and good food

Very, very friendly service, tasty and large portions.

I didn't find the glass front to be very glassy because of it

Body and soul rather unfriendly to stressed. From the outside and inside it looks very nice, just a modern snack bar. But then you can see that the chairs show very strong signs of wear (don't think they intentionally have a “used look”). We were served by three ladies. One of them was extremely stressed and everything came across as unfriendly. The other two were friendly. Unfortunately, some of our orders were recorded incorrectly. They then tried to offer us the wrong dish several times, but were rejected. Because the kitchen is open, you could hear the chef's displeasure throughout the entire shop. It wasn't even about my order but from then on I felt very uncomfortable. That was probably not the first time because our companion lives in the town and has already had the experience of being treated unkindly as a guest if you have something to complain about. The food itself was ok. However, the burger got cold very quickly because all the other ingredients except the meat were cold. There is still corn or something similar on every plate that none of us have eaten. There are definitely customers who are happy about it, but it's not necessarily contemporary. If so, it would be better to have a few leaves of dressed lettuce rather than raw corn. It is a spa town where the clientele is constantly changing, but you should still think about how you treat customers. At most we'll get a few fries to go from the window, but nothing more.

At first you think there are only fries here, but that's not true. Interesting dishes, well presented, and tasty. Drinks could be cheaper.

The best burger I've had in a long time

Very tasty and fresh. A great selection of different dishes. There are also many unusual creations on the menu.

Immer wieder einen Besuch wert. Freundlich nett und lecker.

Essen war gut, Service sehr schnell und abrupt, Ambiente laut und ungemütlich, Mobiliar sehr abgewetzt...

Freundliche Bedienung, Essen war schnell auf dem Tisch und sehr gut. Ist kein Restaurant hat mehr Kaffee/Imbiss Charakter aber für ein schnelles ordentliches Essen zwischendurch perfekt.

Freundliche Bedienungen, gutes Essen. Gehe gern dort hin.

Das Essen war sehr lecker,das Personal sehr nett und freundlich...wir kommen bestimmt wieder

Lecker Burger und verschiedene Currywurst Gerichte, und anderes

Sehr nette Bedienung und sehr leckere Speisen. Megagroße Portionen. Besonders zu empfehlen ist das Championrahmschnitzel.

Nettes Lokal mit guter Küche. Hunde sind auch willkommen. Freundliches Personal, nur das Abräumen muss nicht sofort nach dem Aufessen durch Nachfrage sein.

Sehr nette Bedienungen. Alles schön frisch zubereitet. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Super essen …sehr lecker. Empfehlung Champinonrahmschnitzel mit Kroketten. Oder aber die Frikadellen. Auf jeden Fall gute Hausmannskost. Lg

Sehr netter Imbiss. Wir haben außerordentlich gut gegessen, sind total nett bedient worden und haben uns wohl gefühlt. Ein Lokal für Leib und Seele eben ☺️

Gehobener Imbiss, umfangreiche Karte, bodenständige Gerichte, leckere Pommes Spezial, krosse Bratkartoffeln, sehr freundlicher Service.

Sehr schöner Imbiss mit leckeren Essen und netter Bedienung!

Guter Service und angemessene Preise

Der ältere Herr hinter dem Tresen... unfreundlicher geht es nicht... sollte von der Geschäftsleitung ausgetauscht werden. Bad Rothenfelde spricht schon drüber, unmöglich der Mann. Das Essen ist lecker.

Leider ein ganz schlechter Service,beim Verkauf am Fenster. Zum zweiten Mal, innerhalb einer Woche,stellt man mir das Schild vor die Nase,kein Außerhaus Verkauf. Da ich mich echt auf so eine Pommes gefreut habe,bin ich Mega Sauer. Eigentlich gehe ich immer hinein,und Esse dort Burger,die auch sehr gut sind. Aber das ist jetzt erstmal durch. Geht überhaupt nicht so ein Service. Dann einfach das Fenster Geschlossen lassen,wenn man es nicht Bewältigen kann. Meine Familie und mich, wird man dort nicht mehr Antreffen. 😡

Wir waren spontan zu Besuch und haben uns für die Reibekuchen mit Apfelmus entschieden. Bedienung freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Preis-Leistung passt.

Direkt an der Saline gelegen und die Speisen die ich bisher hatte waren sehr lecker.

Super Lage im Ortskern und gutes Essen, auf das man nicht lange warten muss. Schön eingerichtet und die Preise sind definitiv okay für heutige Zeiten.

Netter Imbiss mit einer guten Auswahl an Gerichten. Die Preise sind okay. Man wird von unterschiedlichen Servicekräften bedient, etwas verwirrend. Ein Danke für Trinkgeld wäre von der Servicekraft nett gewesen.

Super freundliche Kellner allesamt , laden macht ein sauberen und gepflegten Eindruck , auch für mein Sohn (3 Jahre alt ) war das Essen ein voller Erfolg ! Gerne wieder 😊

Sehr schön, kann man ruhig weiterempfehlen. Für einen Imbiss sehr gutes Essen. Freundlicher Service

Wir waren heute sehr enttäuscht 😞 das Essen war wie immer sehr lecker 😋 aber die Bedienung eine ältere Dame war sehr unfreundlich wir hätten gerne draußen gesessen mit 9 Personen aber der Tisch war abgeschlossen nach meiner Frage ob wir dann da sitzen dürfen bekam ich ganz frech und unfreundlich zu hören das die zu bleiben sie würden sich schon so die Füße warm laufen also wir waren sehr sehr sehr enttäuscht 😞 denn bis heute waren wir immer gerne da so schnell gehen wir nicht mehr hin SCHADE

Lekker vers en heerlijke schnitzel met champignon roomsaus. Ook de friet is geweldig. Als je in een kuuroord zit is dit een heerlijke toevoeging op het zoute water

Ich war schon häufiger dort. Mein "Stammessen" Schnitzel dreierlei mit Bratkartoffeln. Super.
