Lodge – Beef’s Finest in Kronberg im Taunus

Best steakhouse in the Rhine Main area.

Best takeaway hamburger. Ordered on the way via mobile phone via the website and paid with Paypal. Picked up at the restaurant after 15 minutes. Best meat quality!

Better steaks are hard to find.

Service is great, food could be better for this price! -turn on the heating‼️‼️‼️ ‼️‼️HEATING HEATING HEATING‼️‼️

Simply perfect!! Very nice service, perfect food and nice atmosphere

Great food and very, very nice staff, nice restaurant

A dream. It doesn't get any better.

Nice place Good meet Excellent service

A friendly team. People who love their job. I would like to thank Mr. Orhan and Ms. Fiona for their interest and concern. Rinderfiletcarpaccio, Chateaubriand, 400gr. Sirloin, 300gr. Regular Cut Filet, Hähnchen mit Pommes, Haussalat and Pommes Frites were absolutely delicious. I recommend. You will be very pleased when you go. Luckily it was next to the Opel Zoo, it was snowing and the Gazelles were wandering around. It was a very kind thought of them to put candles next to the Apfelstrudel because we went for my wife's birthday. We were very pleased with its view, calmness, peaceful and decent environment, caring staff and delicious food. I definitely recommend it.

Super nice service, great presentation of the different steaks, steaks themselves cooked perfectly!

A beautiful restaurant with a fantastic view. Very tasty steaks and good parking situation

I can't complain! I was completely taken away. Food very tasty, good meat, side dishes, fantastic and attentive service. Only the parking situation is a disaster, so bad that you actually have to consider coming here on the weekend

Perfect for anyone who likes meat dishes. Highly expensive, but definitely worth the money. Very pleasant service. Matching ambience with a highlight view of the giraffe enclosure.

Top food, top looks, top views, top prices! Perfect! I haven't eaten so well in a long time!! A must!!

It was my first time at the lodge with my team. We were not only fascinated by the great food, but also by the beautiful atmosphere. The lodge team was very welcoming and very service minded. We were definitely not there for the last time. A great evening!

Awesome, really good food, gladly again!

Good quality meat for reasonable price, however service was kind of slow. Book yourself a table at the window-side ;)

Very nice atmosphere, really good food and all with a real safari feeling.

Great food and very nice ambience. Prices are a bit high but it's worth the experience

Super tasty food, with very good quality. Friendly courteous staff. Cozy atmosphere.

Great service, delicious food and great views. I'll be happy to come back, thank you very much 👍🏻

I often go to the Opel Zoo & treat myself once a month I treat myself to a nice steak or a burger in this wonderful restaurant. The view from one the round tables are always magical. Then worry the employees & mostly the guests for that, one thing special atmosphere prevails. The lodge shows that the pearls of gastronomy still exist.

If the guest complains that the good and expensive meat is well done and not medium as desired, one would think that the waiter in this price range would respond to it and not contradict it. The restaurant was relatively empty at lunchtime and the food was supposed to be served quickly.... Unfortunately, we waited over 25 minutes for our steaks! Waiters were not particularly friendly and were more busy playing with their cell phones. In the future we will eat steaks elsewhere for this price range.

- 5* The food is top without a doubt. - 3* The service seems very overloaded for the many tables, but nice. The only thing that was unusual for me was that you had to wait until drinks and food could be ordered together. - 2* But we were most disappointed by the ambience. Unfortunately we sat in the middle of the aisle, which may have been due to my late reservation. But if you have a restaurant right next to the Opel Zoo, everything is in place for the ambience to score points. Unfortunately it is indescribably loud here, so one would wish for a few acoustic elements. The price-performance ratio becomes blurred when you charge +€50 for a steak, but the whole thing presents itself as if you want to process as many people as quickly as possible. All in all it was ok but we won't be coming back.

Fantastic steaks, excellent wines, outstanding staff and a very pleasant and cozy atmosphere. Also a spontaneous option.

Unfortunately unfriendly. The restaurant was empty on a sunny day, as was the terrace. My request to have a glass of wine on the terrace was refused. Even though someone was already sitting outside. But there are enough alternatives in the Frankfurt area.

... We had a very nice evening here. The food was excellent and was perfectly complemented by the service. Many thanks to the staff.

The food always tastes very, very good. Quality is 1A. Staff is very nice and friendly. We always enjoy eating here.

If you love meat, you'll get your money's worth here! Three times in fact: in the stomach, in the head ❤️and in the wallet😉

Just great! Great view of the zoo and FFM. The food was a dream, super tasty and super nice service in general. Everyone was very, very friendly and accommodating. A huge thank you goes to our service person Fiona. You can recommend the restaurant 100%. Please keep it up :-) Thank you for this great moment with you.

Wir sind (seit 10 Jahren) so im Tonus 2-3 mal im Jahr im Lodge essen und fanden es immer hervorragend. Diesmal hatte mein Mann den Ribeye 400gr., unser Kind ein Hamburger classic und ich das Lammkarree. Obwohl wir Medium gewünscht hatten, waren mehrere Karreestücke von mir hart wie Schuhsohle. Das Fleisch von meinem Mann durch und das Hamburgerfleisch meiner Tochter trocken und hart und ungenießbar wie Pappe. Beim Abräumen fragte der Ober, ob alles gut war- als wir uns im Detaill verwundert und enttäuscht geäußert haben, hat er nichts sagen können und hat unsere Beschwerde nicht weitergegeben und es hat sich auch keiner bei uns entschuldigt. Echt übel bei so einem Location :(

We were there with wedding guests. We had expressed the wish that our guests would each receive a menu without prices, that worked, but we had different menus and our guests found the dishes on different pages. Except for this small problem, everything was fine, the food was great. Unfortunately, garlic is often used in food; if it is freshly cooked, you would think that you could do without this ingredient. But unfortunately it didn't work either. There are quite a few without garlic, so it's all good. It just makes you wonder.

A special place for special food. The view of the Opelzoo is the absolute highlight of this restaurant. However, we only ever ate there after the zoo closed, so I could imagine that it could be relatively noisy during the day. But I definitely recommend getting there before dark so that you don't miss the view. You should definitely make a reservation to be sure to get a table. My husband loves lobster, we stated this when making the reservation and a lobster will be provided. So there is real surf n turf. The steaks are of incredibly great quality and the steak sauce is a delight. We didn't try the burgers, but all the starters we tried were also really good. The staff is friendly, courteous and highly professional. In fact, the lodge is an upscale establishment - and that shows in every respect. I was extremely happy about an extremely flexible kitchen. After I asked the service about an intolerance to the dessert and discovered that it was unsuitable for me, I was simply served a version of my favorites that I could tolerate. For that we get 5+ stars and a huge thank you

It is located right in front of the river and the restaurant is spacious. The downside is that the parking lot is a bit small, so it may be difficult to park during busy times.

Very good food and you are served very quickly

Nice steakhouse, ambience with a great view. The house has excellent waitresses who are very welcoming and friendly. Everything tasted very good, the fries, the Caesar salad, etc. Only the main player, the steaks, couldn't keep up with the service and the atmosphere. They weren't first class. Filet steak was rolled and tough...rib eye wasn't great but OK.

Special, perhaps a little overpriced location - recommended!

Everything perfect!!! Best steak in the world in a perfect atmosphere...

Had classic burger, that was a disappointment. Cheese not melted, on top of it mayo , between the buns weird sautéed onion, tasteless patty. Fries for an extra charge at McDonald’s level. Very expensive. Although restaurant was mostly empty, the weiters could not decide who will take our order. Location is nice, but will not eat there again.

Very dog ​​friendly restaurant. Inexpensive food.

Great location, beautiful ambience, fantastic view and incredibly good steaks!

We wanted to go out to eat after the zoo around 2 p.m. but were turned away because there weren't enough staff, which was a real shame 😔

You can go there, especially for the ambience and the view of the zoo, in the summer with a seat by the window. This wish was also fulfilled when we made our reservation. (Incidentally, during our visit, the animals were put in their cages at 7:30 p.m. and were then no longer visible.) You don't necessarily have to come for the burgers. The side salad was good, the burgers (spicy and vegetarian) were OK, but nothing special and in our opinion too expensive. The normal fries were rather bad for €7.90. We would rate the food 4 stars with one point deducted for the high prices. There is a plus point for the location and the good service.

The service wasn't friendly. The waiters were very listless. I didn't like the burger at all, but it cost just under €20. The meat smelled very strongly and unfortunately I could only eat half of the burger. A waitress was very polite. The rest wasn't good at all. 👎

the meat is very tasty and perfectly prepared. It's really rare to find a real grill house in Germany. The service is also good. Cons: super expensive

If you love meat, you're in culinary heaven here. Everything cooked perfectly, served wonderfully by Fiona, and the chocolate dessert was another dream.

High quality, delicious food and a great location. The view is great. The service is great.

Visiting mom from states and wanted to take her to have a nice steak for her bday. Everything started great! Place is nice had a love view of an open area, though no animals, but it was a later dinner… server came took our drink and food orders… brought the drinks and that’s the last time we came to the table… but steak was way under cooked so I waited for server to come back so we can fix it… which he never did… no one did! The filets were also the toughest I’ve eaten… especially T what’s supposed to be high end… server came to clear our dishes… I informed him we hadn’t seen our server again and my steak is not ok. At this point everyone is done eating… so no I don’t want it now… just take it off my bill. They did do that, but again… no server… not even a visit from the manager. Not the kind of service I’m accustomed to in this type of establishment. Over 200 for 3 people.. after my steak was taken off and 3 small beers. I visit every year and this will not be a place we will dine in again.

We have been visiting this store regularly for about six years. We think the spices and steak sauce used are unique, but the quality of the meat has also remained consistently very good over the years. As in every company, there is fluctuation and depending on who you are served by, the above can occur. Plus points are lost. Ultimately, the best product is no good if the service is not good. Unfortunately, the last two times we had very long waiting times before we could place the orders, even though the store was relatively empty. In some cases, orders were forgotten and only brought when requested again. We hope this does not become a regular occurrence. Otherwise, you can enjoy a nice lunch or dinner with a view of the zoo.

I have rarely had such a bad experience in a restaurant. The food was absolutely inedible and did not correspond to the high prices that were charged for it. A perfectly normal burger without any side dish costs 20 euros - for bread, some minced meat and a piece of cheese. For the money I would have expected much better quality. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Great ambience but especially the vegetarian food is mediocre at best. Quality and price are disproportionate to each other. The staff is slow and inattentive. The statement "we have fish for the vegetarians." should no longer occur in an upscale restaurant in 2024. Even looking at the zoo doesn't help anymore.

An all around great meal! Sensationally beautiful terrace with a great view. Very friendly service - at its finest. The meat and all the side dishes were exquisitely good. The food is really expensive - but a fair value

Just what we wanted and even better! ❤️✨

A wonderful location. With a view of the Opelzoo. You can watch giraffes, wildebeests and zebras while enjoying the excellent food (e.g. delicious steaks, top wines). Upscale gastronomy with corresponding prices, but it's worth it. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

Great food and lovely views of the animals and the zoo just below the terrace.

I can only give one star for the food because the quality of the burgers and also the steak and the salad were rather mediocre.

The best meat restaurant in the Frankfurt area. Always worth a trip for lovers of good food. A tip from me, the fish at the lodge is also great.

The steak was excellent – ​​perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. The ambience is fantastic and creates a wonderful atmosphere for a relaxed evening. Highly Recommended!

A lot has already been said here! We've already been to Lodge! Never really had anything to complain about! Always top quality meat. Great side dishes too! Fast, attentive service. We had a very nice seat by the window today. But the prices are really high. Paid over 500 euros for 7 people this evening. With dessert and coffee etc. Nevertheless, for us the lodge belongs to the top league in Frankfurt. We recommend!

Were guests today. The food was good, but the service was subpar. A drink was ordered several times and only brought when asked. Afterwards we weren't even asked if we would like something more to drink. When we asked for salt and pepper we were completely ignored. I then go to the cash register to pay, otherwise we would still be sitting there. In response to my criticism, the answer from the waiter was that there were only two people on the terrace, one of whom was stubborn and the other completely blind. Sorry, but if I don't want/expect service, I'll go to the kebab shop around the corner and not have to pay €180 for two pieces of meat. Strangely enough, the “Sylter” audience was looked after much better.

Delicious & high quality steaks. The service is excellent, as it must be in such an atmosphere. The salads were also excellent. Great dressing & generous steaks - these are buttery tender and fried to perfection. Be sure to make a reservation, especially on the weekend - there is of course a lot of activity where it tastes good. Not cheap in terms of price, but completely justified!

Very successful facility. The food is really great. Nearly perfect. Prices are slightly higher, but the quality speaks for itself. Little things here and there could be improved in the service. Still only recommended.

Ambience is great. Service a bit cold and without pep. Food is great but pricey

The ambience is unique, with a direct view of the “savanna enclosure” of the Opel Zoo. You can see zebras, wildebeests, impalas and giraffes. A first-class view, especially for children and adults who are interested in African wild animals. I was there at lunchtime and have to say that I was completely satisfied with my visit. Service was quick and courteous right from the start. My little daughter received her Fanta very quickly, as well as her main course. I had the fillet (regular cut) which was fried to perfection (rare). Meat quality is also top notch. Definitely worth the price. The truffle puree was also very good. You could immediately tell that the emphasis here is on freshness and quality. We will definitely come again, but in the evening for a dinner for two with a unique view of the “African savannah”.

Very special place. Great food & incredible service. Every visit here is a real experience. Highly recommend!

💃🕺🎶 I would love to come back again

A great restaurant with a great view of the zoo. I ate the tomato salad, steak and fries and was completely satisfied. You can also sit extremely well on the terrace! I'd love to come back 👍

Very tasty meat and attentive service, plus the fantastic view!

With the table with a view over the zoo and Kronberg, just really beautiful. Food and service were good, thank you.

Food was very tasty. Despite the restaurant being full, we received great service from the friendly waitress Fiona.

A great location to end the evening in a beautiful atmosphere. The view invites you to linger. I thought the side salad was great because the dressing harmonized very well. I'm not normally a burger fan, but I can highly recommend the Lodge Classic. The service is excellent. A reservation is recommended here.

The gentleman milad was very friendly and attentive. And we would love to come back👍

Lodge nails it. Game Resort in Germany 😄

Service that couldn't be better!

Highly recommended Staff very nice and helpful, food came quickly, meat was on point. Nice view towards Opelzoo. Make a reservation in advance as it can get full. It's a shame how badly some people/guests (= GUESTS there) behave the more money they have.

Great steakhouse! Very tasty food and a heart for our “Manfred the Taunus dachshund”🐶 There was delicious meat for our dachshund. Gladly again!

Very nice staff, especially Fiona. Very good ambience and good food.

Extremely professional on all levels I felt very comfortable as a chef The service always moved discreetly in the background, was very attentive and always present. The food was perfect, fried exactly as requested. We were very satisfied

Very nice, upscale restaurant. The main focus is on steaks, but of course there are other things too! The explanation of the different types of meat, which takes place at the table, is really nice. A piece of meat for each type is brought along on a cart and explained. Everything was fried to perfection, super tender and delicious! The side dish, which you can/must choose yourself, was also fantastic. We can highly recommend this restaurant. I would also like to highlight the view... you look at the savanna outdoor enclosure of the Opelzoo! Antelopes, giraffes and zebras can be observed.

Great service, very attentive! Food is great anyway! Kid friendly too; There's nothing to complain about here - no matter the reason; You can always go to the lodge, incredibly well!

Very pleasant stay with good food and great service! Big thanks to our attentive waitress Fiona. We were well looked after as a group of 16 people.

In hot weather you have to buy water at the ice cream parlor within the zoo. €6.50 for a liter of water. Absolute rip off...

Great service, nice staff, nice location, delicious food and free parking. We have been there many times and would love to come back. :) Absolute recommendation.

Very nice place for fine dining, view of an enclosure with wildebeests in the zoo. Service was extremely courteous, food was great. Prices are high, but also reasonable for every now and then.

The ambience and service are great, but 40 euros for 200g of meat alone without any side dish is unreasonable. We are aware that everything has become more expensive, but this is not organic quality. Otherwise everything was great.

The prices have now become very high, which is no longer in proportion to the performance offered. The service was mediocre and frequently asked if it should be more, which seemed unreasonable given the high prices. The quality of the food was good, but the dishes, especially the meat, were not brought to the table hot. The ambience was not pleasant and quiet due to several barking dogs. Overall, for me, the restaurant is no longer a top restaurant in the Vordertaunus.

Everything was fine, attentive service.

Very good service with committed employees, especially Ms. Fiona, who served us very nicely and competently. Meat quality and cooking point optimal. Thank you

Great service - thanks to Henrik! He knows how to give his guests an unforgettable evening. Like a little short vacation in Africa with excellent food.

The interplay between excellent ambience, attentive and friendly service and excellent food is absolutely harmonious here. My little highlight... the Lindt ball with coffee! Love is in the details! Many thanks to the entire team for their constant effort!

Went back to the lodge with friends and had a wonderful evening Enjoy good food and good service. I particularly recommend the cappuccino as a starter with the best thing I have had in recent years. The main course has something for every meat lover. For us, the lodge is the best steakhouse in the Rhine-Main area and we would love to come back.

Overpriced and nothing special Overpriced restaurant with mediocre quality, located directly at the Opel Zoo with a great view of the giraffe/zebra enclosure. However, we were there in the evening and all the animals were already inside. Food: went like this. Ordered steak and my girlfriend likes medium rare. Medium has arrived. We then commented on this, and the waitress then discussed with us that it was medium-rare. I had medium and it looked identical. After insisting that we didn't agree, the steak was taken away and a new one was prepared. You can guess how this turned out - it was rare. My girlfriend didn't want to complain again and ate it like that. When a restaurant offers prices like this, I expect the steaks to be cooked PERFECTLY. However, this is not the case here. Every Blockhouse Restaurant in Frankfurt makes better steaks! The two of us paid around 170 euros with a starter, two main courses and a dessert. Bottom line: we tried it once, but it will stay that way. Too expensive, too bad, only the location is great.

Very expensive, but excellent meat quality. We had the filet mignon with pepper sauce. The meat was fried as requested, very tender, lean and great taste. Friendly, attentive service. No rush, relaxed atmosphere. A beautiful view over the Opelzoo to the Frankfurt skyline. The chairs alone take some getting used to and are a bit wobbly. Not for every day due to the high prices, but recommended for a special occasion.

Unfortunately overrated, the price-performance ratio is not right at all. Bad pieces of meat, everything very very fatty especially the fries with truffle but also the starters and the pepper sauce. Unfortunately just a great atmosphere… Never again :/

A feeling like being at a lodge in Africa. Always great!

The restaurant is located on the hillside, with a view of the giraffe enclosure. We had a seat by the window inside. The service was good, the employees were quick. Starter: The tartare was very tasty and reasonably priced. Steak: Unfortunately, 400g of ribeye was disappointing. The plate was very hot, but the meat arrived at the table just under lukewarm, so I had the steak go back halfway through and put it on the grill again for a moment. To be honest, that's a shame, especially with a steak that shouldn't happen. Despite the €65 for 400g, the quality is noticeably worse than in comparable steakhouses in Frankfurt. The 200g fillet steak was also “okay” but I’ve eaten better here too. In the end, in my opinion, it was more of a “Blockhouse” level of meat. The burgers were delicious, as were the fries. The location was something different, so all in all it was okay - but if you expect great meat quality, you should probably pay €20 more and go to a different restaurant. Unfortunately, the giraffes finish work at 5 p.m., so when you eat you can see an empty enclosure - but the restaurant can't do anything about that, this is just for your information.

The meat is great, we had someone with us who only wanted fish or vegetarian, so the choice was a bit difficult. We were annoyed by the service and the prices. Bad table, even though there was a lot free. Cards were thrown on the table and not even asked for drinks. Also no asking what it was like. It's a shame, we used to be here more often, but if you don't come from Kronberg/Königstein - you should think carefully about it.

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere with a great view. In addition, a very pleasant service for questions regarding a planned event. Certainly not cheap, but good 👍

Excellent steaks in a noble ambience with a view of the zoo

Occasion: small celebration with 19 people, food very good, excellent quality of meat and fish dishes, no waiting times, service excellent... very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Pleasant ambience with a view of the giraffe enclosure at the Opel Zoo. We recommend.
