Markt Cafe- Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

Some restrooms are closed. Not cleaned well. Rest area isn't very clean either. Okay for a quick pee break. Not recommended for a rest stop.

From the tower you have a great view of the Taunus and the Frankfurt skyline

The rest stop is good, the viewing platform is quite large, and you can see quite far. Unfortunately, the viewing platform is very dirty and covered in graffiti... Still worth a visit...

Great view of the Frankfurt skyline from the vantage point

Here, the bus parking spaces are kept free for our passengers and have been for years. The rest area is very clean.

A warning against dangerous driving! This is a crashed car presented by the fire department, warning against speeding.

A comfortable resting area. The toilets are very clean, the food in the complex is fresh and varied.

Has everything a rest stop needs

Unfortunately, the observation tower is very dirty and smells unpleasant, and everything is covered in bird droppings. The elevator was broken, which is bad for people who can't climb the 100 steps.

Very clean rest stop and relatively reasonable prices for a motorway rest stop. The staff is courteous and attentive.

It was okay. A rest stop like everywhere else. There's trash lying around. Very expensive.

Climb the tower and enjoy the panoramic view

Free parking with a one-by-one system, depending on the declared departure time. Observation tower, shower, restaurant, and restrooms. Nothing to complain about.

The food is always delicious, freshly prepared, the view is fantastic, and a little exercise after a long journey is always good. However, the entrance/turnstile to the restrooms and the soap dispensers have been broken for a while. It's probably time to fix it, especially if you're going to the bathroom for €1.

Definitely one of the better rest stops. Observation tower, children's play areas, two restaurants, showers, friendly staff.

Last Sunday evening, after a long drive, I wanted to take a coffee and pee break at this service station. When I ordered a coffee at the cash register and wanted to pay €50, the gas station clerk (an older, gray-haired man with a long beard and an unkempt appearance) asked me if I wanted a smaller amount or if I could pay by card. I said no, as I only had three €50 bills with me. The man then abruptly snapped at me, saying he was "not a currency exchange office" and that I couldn't buy the coffee. I then calmly explained to him that I had to pay in cash because I needed the change (€1) to urgently go to the bathroom. The man rudely replied that I should "just suck in your stomach." I have never (!) encountered such blatantly impertinent behavior. Absolutely unacceptable (!!), especially when it comes to dealing with customers. I hope management takes action against this. Never again will I set foot at this rest stop!!

Totally unfriendly. The toilet isn't worth the euro. If there's a couple of you, you have to pay for the toilet ticket twice. If this is the number one in Hesse...

Sometime in May 2021: I was sent with my cooler into the middle of tarpaulin drivers, but they also want to buy groceries, and especially eat, so they can listen to my cooler. It doesn't bother me much. ;-) Sure, it would be better if the control system got an update; I'm not just here to annoy tarpaulin drivers. :-))))))) ---> 09/08/21: "Cooler in operation?" Yeeeees --- "Drive in lane 18" Yes, sir! --- Arrived there: tarpaulin on the left, car transporter on the right, tarpaulin in front of me. I wonder if the update will take a while? Well, I don't care, my cooler doesn't bother me. Update 07/16/24: For the third time, I've been sent into the middle of the train with a cooler that is IN OPERATION. (Row 26, departure 3:11 a.m.) This time, there's a complaint: the barrier "said" it was, but the ticket didn't come out. The "Who's leaving when" indicator doesn't work either. PS: I won't park here a fourth time! 7/29/25: Here it is again, and the system... doesn't work! But I don't care! Contact: Hessen Mobil

For €1, toilets should also be offered that are worth the one euro. Toilets are broken or clogged, hand basins are generally not in good condition, and hand dryers don't work.

Unfortunately, there are no charging stations for electric cars.

A nice place to relax. Large parking lot for trucks. And, of course, you can admire the city from the tower!

Very friendly and dog-friendly staff.

Anyone who stops there should definitely take in the view from the tower. Impressive... The rest stop deserves a 5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Worst rest stop I've ever been to. Unfriendly staff, and the food was absolutely disgusting. They served cold, uncooked bread dumplings with shredded chicken, which tasted awful. I returned it because it was inedible!

Very clean and tidy. The restrooms are also cleaned very thoroughly. Late at night, I have to say, "Women could leave the restrooms clean, too." I have to say to the operator: The restrooms need repairs. After all, restrooms are a place of intimacy, a place of retreat—sometimes forced, but sometimes desired—which should at least be secure enough so that you don't slip off the toilet seat because it's broken.

The employees there are super nice. You can tell some of them enjoy working there. I like working there as a truck driver.

Nice parking lot, as long as drivers know how to use a tablet at the entrance. It's important to mark the exact departure time so the driver behind you doesn't have any problems leaving. Toilet 1e, accepts card payments, shower 4e, but very clean, with warm water, a mirror, and a hairdryer.

Observation deck with a view of the Frankfurt am Main skyline

The turkey sandwich is delicious

This place not only accepts DKV gas cards, but also provides driver's license scanning service🪪👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 The staff is very kind, the surrounding environment is clean, I will come again in half a year :)

No access to the observation tower

Parked at 20:00, there were spaces

There are all the amenities, very convenient arrangement of LKW according to departure time, video surveillance cameras and lighting.

First-class rest stop with a friendly atmosphere. We'd be happy to come back.

Hi, Taunusblick is a rest stop on the A5. There's a gas station and a restaurant building with an observation tower (hence the name of the rest stop). In short: + Beautiful view + View accessible by elevator and stairs + Large number of parking spaces - Dirty toilets cost €1 The observation tower offers a beautiful view of the Taunus Mountains. There are plenty of parking spaces for trucks and cars. The toilets were dirty and cost €1, which can only be used with a voucher at this rest stop. Unfortunately, most German rest stops now only have coin-operated restrooms, although none of them were clean (paying for a clean restroom is reasonable). If you like my review, I would be very happy if you "liked" it.

Yes, when do you ever get a lookout tower to stretch your legs? Climbing the stairs is a good way to take a break after a long drive. I really enjoyed the view of the Taurus Mountains and the Frankfurt skyline, despite the intense heat. The employees in the store were very friendly and helpful, even at the end of what must have been a very long day for them. The only thing that could be improved is the visible cleanliness (in front of the store). Lovingly decorated with flower carts and small details. Not as sterile and cold as other rest stops.

Since there is nothing else nearby: YES!

Aside from the fact that the asparagus was still quite firm, I can recommend this place. There's a kitchen, and the new chef is quite good. Even fruit and other items are available in the shop. Prices aren't excessive. There aren't a ton of spaces for trucks, but they're still more than at other rest areas on the motorway.

The way they treat people there is abysmal! The designers, the employees, have a general dislike for truck drivers or for work in general! If I could give them zero stars, I would do it immediately! I'll never see them again!

Stable, absolutely fair pricing policy! While the gas station before charges €0.50-€0.60 more per liter, the prices here are consistently low for a motorway gas station. In addition, the service station offers everything you need for a relaxing break. I highly recommend this gas station!

Terrible attitude of the staff towards drivers! At 7.00 in the morning an uncle came and said that a minibus is not allowed in the car park. I have a 3.5t minibus. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation A 3.5t minibus is a car, not a truck! And he sent me to the truck parking lot

Clean toilets. Friendly staff. Moderate rest stop prices.

Easy to park trucks, very quiet for sleeping.

Unfortunately, everything was already closed at 7 p.m. on a Sunday.

Ideal for rental cars to refuel before returning them, deposit machine that works great

Nice staff, quite ok price-wise

Large selection of food, sometimes breakfast buffet and a great observation tower, clean toilets

Excellent, you can fill the gas cylinder if the nozzles eat the quiet one, then pay

I dreamed of seeing the skyscrapers of Frankfurt am Main from a bird's eye view. But I was a little disappointed. 1. The weather was a bit bad and the buildings were not clearly visible 2. The power line and the huge support also did not match the landscape. 3. The elevator did not work and therefore people with disabilities could not climb the tower either

Restrooms very clean. The price board at the entrance showed a different price than the one at the pump. When I asked, the only response I got was, "I don't know." Hence only 3 stars. Conclusion: Otherwise, very friendly.

Great rest stop with friendly staff. And Mr. K.S. If you don't have the right attitude, you shouldn't give it a star. That's certainly your problem. Of course, you have to address people you don't know with "Sie" (formal).

Cheapest gas station on the entire A5

Yes, we like it very much, we can recommend a stop 👌

A great way to take a break with small children. The indoor and outdoor play areas are fantastic! See for yourself. The staff was courteous and friendly when we visited (on a Sunday morning). It's clean and inviting. And most importantly, the kids had fun and were exhausted for the rest of the trip.

Contrary to the description, the rest stop and thus also the observation tower are only open until 7:00 PM. Closed unusually early for a rest stop.

We go there every now and then, especially when my husband needs his favorite sweets, because luckily they are available there at a normal price, thumbs up

Very good parking, with plenty of parking spaces for trucks. The restaurant (when open) is good. 🍔 Burger King available.

Even if we're just out for a Sunday stroll, we still stop at this rest stop. The view from the tower is always beautiful. The rest stop has a good selection of food and even a breakfast buffet.

A great place for a longer break. FREE large parking lot. Before entering, you declare on the monitor how long you want to stand (I stood for the weekend). You get a ticket and it says which row to stand in. You enter or enter the tower for free. Amazing views. Shop, restaurant, McDonald's, you know what the prices are... Shower 4€ but very clean.

A system for great... few of them

Very good to order, but you have to know what you are going to eat before you pay. Here you have to pay before, not like in Sweden after you pick up the food, a bit complicated I think😀😎😻😍

We filled up the tank here. Staff is super nice. Gladly again.

If you want to go to the observation tower, you're unfortunately out of luck... Closed.....

There is a large parking lot, you can collect water near the speakers. Shower €4, they give a token for 20 minutes. The shower is clean, there are no unpleasant smells. The staff is friendly. I recommend

You should stop at this rest stop. In addition to the usual things, this gas station has a viewing tower. From there you have a good view of Frankfurt a.M. and the Taunus. The climb is free and there is also an elevator next to the stairs.

Unfortunately the food was carnonara, horrible!

Very nice operator who stands behind the counter and sometimes exchanges a nice word with customers! Delicious snacks, large selection, not too expensive if you redeem the vouchers from the toilet visit. Love and beautiful accessories. Quiet atmosphere, nicely decorated. We would be happy to drive this route again.

The best thing is a viewing platform with a view of the Frankfurt skyline. Can be visited for free. Toilet costs one euro, but this is fully credited towards consumption. 12 minutes to the airport.

Very pleasant rest stop that has a completely adequate range of food. The staff is friendly, the toilets are clean, what more could you want? What is very positive is that there is never really much going on here. The highlight of the rest stop is the observation tower, from which you have a perfect view of the Frankfurt skyline.

Very nice market restaurant, with fresh baked goods. Also in the gas station shop outside of the restaurant's opening hours. Not as overpriced as some other rest stops/motorway gas station shops.

You park according to the time of movement, but there were two illiterate Poles in front of me who did not respect, be careful not to get stuck because of fools...

So far so good for a short break

one of the cleanest and well-maintained rest stops I've seen in a long time. The food in the restaurant is freshly prepared if you want.

A rest stop of my memories. I visited this place a lot when I sent my child to kindergarten and went to the academy. There is an observatory and now a Burger King.

Toilet was clean. Free observation tower with a view of the Taunus or the skyline of “Mainhatten”

Fantastic all the way. Like it a lot.

Large parking lot, but many drivers, not far away, do not understand that you need to park your car as the machine gives out on the ticket. Leave in the morning, that quest

It was always a great rest stop, but it has recently lost ground due to the deteriorating overall situation. Marchee has moved out, the elevator to the observation tower is out of service, and the grass is sprouting between the paving stones.

I've only been to Burger King. The food was fresh and tasty.

Has an LPG column that is not found in the fuel price apps.

clean rest area, fuel overpriced as at all rest areas

27.03.2025, Amazing piece of technology they have here :D 31 free spaces on the autobahn sign. I wanted to stay for 14h, message on the screen said parking is full so I wasn't allowed. Funny enough parking was half empty. Magic.

Yes, but could someone remove the high voltage pylon that is blocking the view of the panorama of Frankfurt from the observation tower? The thing wasn't there 20 years ago ;-)

Super delicious food and great breakfast, always friendly staff 👍

Observation tower with a great view of the Frankfurt skyline.

Large parking lot, everything clean, reasonable prices and a small children's playground.

On Friday, March 21, 2025, around 3:15 a.m., I went to the rest stop to ask whether there was a device to check tire air pressure. I walked in and said to the cashier in a nice tone, “Hey, do you have a tire inflation device?” He said “Hello”. To which I replied “Yes”. He repeated “Hello” again. I wasn’t sure whether he had understood me at first, so I replied “Hello”. Immediately afterward, he said in a bossy tone, “So, do YOU ​​have a tire inflation device?” Then he told me where it was. I said “bye” and left. It wasn't until I was outside that I realized what a ridiculous situation this was, and I regret being nice to the guy after what he said. But now I'm more wondering: Are we at a gas station or the Ritz Carlton?

Great view, once up the tower, it's 100% worth it

Everything is top toilets always clean on site the staff is always very friendly

Toilet dirty, paper wet and when I asked if the manager could come in, there was no response! Sorry, that doesn't work at all. Especially since reserved parking spaces for buses with garbage cans are blocked. Very bad here and expensive.

Unfortunately the observation tower was closed because the restaurant closes at 4 p.m. in winter. Welcome to Germany

We've been here for the third time now after reading the many positive reviews... but unfortunately in vain. Each time we found ourselves standing in front of locked doors, even though the times of day (between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.) were not unusual for a rest stop. That's probably not possible! The toilets were not very clean and the outdoor area near the parking spaces had the charm of a garbage dump. Unfortunately, we cannot understand the many positive reviews.

There is a large parking lot for Czezarowkas, the departure time is agreed, the restaurant and service are ok. Free parking!!

Actually, I always stop at this rest stop, but last Saturday the cleaner there was unfriendly. She left the door open and collected the money herself. When I then asked her for a receipt, she took an old, tattered receipt out of her bag for me.

Very good truck parking system. Good resting place.

Nice, large, clean showers for €4, open 24 hours a day. Very nice service. There is also a large parking lot for trucks.

Very organized parking. On the entrace you enter your pause time and it shows sou what row you should park in and what time will truck in front of you leave.

10/02/25 6 p.m. wants to park and says departure time is 7 a.m. There are no spaces, go to the next parking lot, and in fact, more than half of the square is empty. So I was the last one standing in just any paradise. I asked various drivers and they also had this problem. Sick system. They would have done it the hard way and the problem would have been solved.

Very nice parking lot for trucks, There is a restaurant, a shower and a great observation tower. I recommend

Nice place for some rest, with a watching tower - you can see FRA city skyline on one side and Taunus mountain on other.
