masons Restaurant Kaiserslautern in Kaiserslautern

This place is an outstanding dining experience. We had a great date night

Great food, great service despite the restaurant being full. It was our first time here; the concept was familiar from Saarbrücken. Personally, I liked it better in KL. We'd love to come back.

We were repeat visitors and were really looking forward to this evening. Unfortunately, he just wasn't pretty. At first the restaurant was quite empty, but the service was simply non-existent. Right from the start, several dishes were not recorded by the system (so I didn't get all the dishes), so we ate more or less separately and I received the first dish after almost 40 minutes. After that, either nothing came for 20 minutes or 3 orders came at once in an unknown order. These were simply placed on the table without any personal address (every time in front of me, regardless of whether I had ordered it or not) and yes, at this price and also with this event character, we simply miss a certain level of service that makes the dishes tasty and tells you something about them. The clearing service didn't work either, so we had to eat in the middle of empty bowls. This time the food was okay to good, but it didn't blow your socks off. Because the dishes were not received in the order ordered, desserts and main courses suddenly became mixed up. No, this is not a service. Between Pavlova and Kaiserschmarrn, I don't want to eat Asian rice dishes or tacos that I had to wait 30 minutes or more for. Due to this confusion, it was also noticeable that the basis of some dishes is very similar Cinnamon roll / Kaiserschmarrn / apple cake - 3 orders, all brought at the same time... in principle all 3 dishes tasted almost the same, as the cinnamon topping and sauce were more than similar. It was the same with the main dishes of each continent...more or less the same ingredients just combined differently...we never noticed it before, only when everything is put on the table together do you notice it. We were neither full nor happy that evening, just annoyed. For more than 100 euros for two, I just expect something different here. The service and kitchen make an effort, but there are simply not enough people OR the restaurant can't be used to such capacity if it comes at the expense of service. But what was going on here wasn't what we were used to. The canteen atmosphere is probably best. Service staff who put plates down but don't "ensnare" them. The offer to get a coffee doesn't help me either - it's friendly, but it's out of proportion. The knocks at the entrance also showed that there were too few service people...why not put a nice host at the entrance like before, who only takes care of the guests and is not involved in the active service. Maybe we were just unlucky at our table, but it's doubtful whether we'll come back. It's a shame, because the potential is there, you just have to use it.

Catching up with reviewing places we've eaten in the past. This place has a cool vibe and an interesting concept. The food was good, not great. I think the concept is what people enjoy, and for some people getting a ton of food in priority. The quality of food was good, and service was good.

This restaurant is something different. The concept suits me, you don't have to decide on a menu but you can try many different ones and you will be served, not a buffet. Every plate is freshly prepared. You order via tablet and you don't need to attract the waiter's attention. All of our orders were GREAT except for the German currywurst, not a tasty sausage and the sauce that should have tasted like whiskey was at best a little bit spicy. U will go again.

Very tasty, great concept. It's a lot of fun and thanks to the small portions you can try everything in many rounds. Unfortunately it is so crowded that the ambience suffers. It's very noisy and the staff is very busy.

Cool concept, some dishes were better than others…fast service once you figure out the tempo. Nice ambiance to the place as well.

Taste the World….a culinary experience…see you!!

Unfortunately too expensive! Otherwise great!

Very nice place, unusual restaurant experience with great food and nice service. Gladly again :-)

The dishes were all very tasty and varied. The staff was very friendly :) We would love to come back!

Quite loud and incredibly busy, but a large selection of dishes

Delicious, lots of different flavors to try out. You get well fed.

Good concept, good food, good ambience

Very high quality of food and something for every taste. Delicious!

Absolutely loved it! The concept is brilliant—unlimited small plates from all over the world!

Food: From all over the world, definitely something for every taste. Service: Very well looked after, everything can be ordered not only by the staff, but also via the tablet. Ambiance: Nice and relatively quiet. We will always go back and are already looking forward to it. Prices (rounded): adults €40, children €18

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. Everything was perfect, down to the smallest detail. Every dish that lay before me was a composition of exquisite ingredients on a small plate. My taste buds were enchanted and with each bite I ascended another level of perfection. As I gulped down the foods with a whiskey sour and a Japanese gin and tonic, I felt the warmth of the perfectly prepared alcohol. The sweetness of the melon liqueur of the Japanese Gin Tonic celebrated my taste buds, as did the slight acidity and tart taste of the ice-cold whiskey. The menu was quite diverse and gave room for new discoveries of different tastes around the world. 2 hours is a perfect time frame to get an insight into different international cuisines. Even though some dishes didn't seem authentic to the original, you can still say that Mason's is experimenting with these international dishes to create a new taste experience. This restaurant is ideal for vegetarians/vegans, as most dishes can optionally be prepared with vegetarian or vegan ingredients. In summary, I would come back at any opportunity and experience this experience again. I would recommend it to everyone. Best regards Restaurant critic PapaPatrick

Simply great, very tasty food, great concept, we'll be back

Great food, great service... always happy to go there

Big W Restaurant. I would recommend it anytime.

Phenomenal - the ambiance and service on top of the food was seriously great. If I could make a small suggestion and maybe reduce a few of the lights -it makes it a bit warm inside... otherwise... just lovely!

It was an experience worth it, but €40 per person + drinks is not proportionate. With 2 people the bill ended up being over €100. Gladly again if the prices are drastically reduced.

I reserved a table for my husband and his friends for his birthday. The table was even set. It was really nice. This was the first time a restaurant had done something like this when it was noted in the reservation. The food was delicious and I can recommend it to anyone.

Super delicious food, we would love to come back.

Highly recommend. It was very good, and ordering via tablet worked perfectly. The wait time was reasonable and OK. We visited on a Thursday.

A cozy restaurant with a beautiful, well-maintained interior. The only downside to the ambience is the noise level, as the space is very large and open. The concept is very interesting, and ordering via tray is very easy. The food was all very fresh and tasty. A big plus is that almost all dishes are available in a vegetarian version, thus providing a wide selection for vegetarians. The service was very attentive and excellent. We'll visit the restaurant in Saarbrücken next time.

Super delicious drinks and food. Service was a bit confusing the first time; we lost track of our orders. It will definitely be better next time.

It's quite loud when the restaurant is fully booked. All dishes contain garlic, so you should check in advance if you have any intolerances. The service is incredibly friendly and accommodating.

There were five of us there and it was great! Food, service, drinks and the ambience were top notch. Everything is explained to you and all wishes are fulfilled straight away. The only negative thing you should try to minimize is the noise in the restaurant. We'd love to come back!

Was an experience. The food was very tasty and you could try many different dishes. But the price is crazy, €40 per person without drinks.. You can do it once a year.

Very tasty and varied food, well thought out concept. The service is extremely friendly and accommodating!

The food and drink was great, but here at Masons in Kaiserslautern they are a little slower than in Saarbrücken, but still okay, all in all a great experience. BUT… Missing cover for the socket on the toilet is not possible!! That's why unfortunately only 2 stars, otherwise everything was great 👌🏻

Loved it! It's all you can eat and you can order small dishes from different places around the world. The only catch is that you have to wait 6 minutes in between each order. The food was amazing, the drinks were amazing, the atmosphere was amazing! John was our waiter and he was amazing as well. I think we tried pretty much everything on the menu. The lotus cheesecake was to die for. Every single dish was prepared so beautifully

Food was wonderful. I would like to see a reasonable spritzer on the drinks menu in the Palatinate.

I tried this restaurant last month, and the food was amazing. The concept is that you pay a buffet price, sit at your table, and can order one dish every six minutes using a tablet. The portion sizes are just right, allowing you to sample a variety of dishes. Service is fast, and orders arrive at your table in no time. However, I found it overpriced. Given the small portion sizes, the time limit for dining, and the restriction on the number of orders, the prices could have been more reasonable. Drinks are not included, and if you order one, the cost adds up even more. That’s the only reason I’m giving it four stars.

Just eaten around the world !!! Very tasty and the cocktail menu is also impressive. I can only recommend it !!!! PS. Pavlova is to die for!

The concept of Mason's is unique...and my favorite dining experience I have had in a long time. For 40 Euros, you can take a trip around the world , eating basically all you can eat....there's a two hour time limit, but I only was able to eat 13 items, and my colleagues each only had 9. And almost all of the items were very tasty. At least five were incredible , including the Barbajuans from Monaco, the Buttermilk Chicken from Nigeria, and the Lotus Cheesecake from Belgium (I ordered two), and I think there were only two that were a disappointment, including the Whiskey Cola Currywurst from Germany (I liked it a lot.. just not an improvement over a wurst stand and everything else was so amazing I may have been expecting too much). I will be eating here every time I come to Kaiserslautern. I'm so glad my company forces us to stay in Hilton Hotels, otherwise I would never have eaten at this restaurant located in the same structure as the Hampton Inn.

Very tasty food. Great concept. Theoretically, you can try everything on site.

Always nice and varied food. A little more comfortable during the week than on the weekend. Courteous and friendly service!!! Our dogs were also very welcome 🤗

Top service and quality, absolutely recommended. We'll be back!!

Cool concept, I'm sure we'll come back, there's a new menu in April...

It's like speed dating meets Texas de Brazil. Amazing service, food, atmosphere.

They were very accommodating. The hostess did her very best and the servers did a wonderful job in servicing us. 100% would recommend dining at this establishment.

Very good Restaurant, it was my Birthday and the Hostess and the servers were so nice and friendly to me . And the food was soooooo good.

Such a great dining experience, every 6 minutes you get to place an order for food all across the world. Everything was delicious! 10 out of 10!!!

Great service. Great food, great concept! Will definitely visit again

A very good concept from start to finish. Good food and great service. Keep it up.

Great concept. Versatile cuisine. Definitely worth a visit. Can only be recommended

It's my style. Ordering via computer at the table, mass operation. The food was ok, but moderately country-specific. The idea is better than it is executed.

Great atmosphere, nice service. Very good tapas style food. You can try your way through the continents, very appetizing and carefully prepared. Lots of vegetarian and vegan options.

It was all very tasty, but a bit expensive!

Not only overpriced per person (not worth more than 25€-30€ per person) we also got food poisoning after so thanks for that. A lot of the sauces were repeated for certain dishes and for 40€ per person y’all could’ve at least added water into the price. Disappointed is an understatement. Waiters/waitresses were great though.

The food is very tasty, unfortunately not always really warm due to the small plates. Desserts are great. The specials used to cost a total of €2 or €3 plus, but now you pay €1.50 per plate, which I find far too expensive, with a basic price of €39.90. Service staff are always on the move quickly. A nice thing every now and then.

Our visit to Masons was very nice. Our waitress for the evening was David. He is very likeable. You felt more than comfortable in his presence. He took a lot of time and even cracked a joke. The food was very good, there was something for everyone and it was prepared quickly. We'd love to come back.

Top! Looking forward to next time.

This shop was created by the good Lord himself, each delicious fat was tastier than the next. After eating we had to loosen our belts and undo a button on our pants. This is what heaven must look like! Despite the size, the quality was extremely high.

Short and sweet - delicious!!! Something special!!!!

Awesome food and great service. Bring an appetite.... you're gonna be eating.

The service staff had difficulty finding the correct table number.

When making the reservation, we expressed the wish that there would be enough space for a stroller. This wish was more than fulfilled. There would even have been room for 2 strollers :)

Dear masons team. First of all, all in all it was a nice evening. My points of criticism are basically due to the high expectations from the reviews; combined with the (now) quite lavish “base price” of €39.90 and the drink prices, in my opinion, a little too high. More than €6 for a 0.15 glass of wine, not “fine wines”, is a bit expensive, isn’t it?! I wished the dishes had a little more temperature, but that is certainly due to the small volume of the food and is understandable. The staff (Daniel for us) was very friendly/professional. To put it fairly and keep the criticism in check; The idea is great, but a visit to a restaurant in a higher-priced atmosphere with the chance of quiet communication is more my/our thing. But it was still a (slightly different) experience and recommended. I think it won't work for us more than once a year. 😉

We were thrilled, we can recommend it to everyone

It's an experience, but on weekends the space is bursting at the seams. Things can get hectic given the timing.

Food tastes and looks at a high level! Very courteous service staff. And a very stylish and relaxed atmosphere. I would highly recommend it to everyone! We'd love to come back!

A restaurant with a great ambience, very, very friendly staff. The journey through the world was an absolute culinary delight for us.

Interessantes Konzept. Die Location war gut besucht entsprechend hoch der Geräuschpegel. Service total chaotisch, mehrfach wurden uns falsche Speisen gebracht und die zweiten Getränke dauerten über 1/2 Stunde. Erst nach extra Bestellung bei der Restaurantchefin bekamen wir unsere Bestellung. Insgesamt ein freundlicher und bemühter Service jedoch etwas überfordert. Die Speisen kommen in kleinen Portionen und sind geschmacklich gut. Wobei die Soßen oft etwas Mayonnaise lastig waren und oftmals gleich schmeckten.

Absolutely cool restaurant. Ordering is always done in rounds using an iPad = super easy and very great. For around 40€ without drinks it's TOP! and 2 hours is enough too 👍🏻 (TIP: MUST TRY THE LOTUS CAKE!!!!!)

Very tasty food, huge selection and nice service. The environment is a bit noisy (but it was also very crowded) but everything is beautifully and lovingly furnished. Food is very nicely prepared.

The visit is definitely worth it!

We've been there several times. It's always fun to try out the map. Uncomplicated and delicious. Always recommended

Very very good service. Attentive and yet not too intrusive. The food was very exceptional and there was something for every taste :) Masons is simply unique and definitely worth a visit!

All very good. Service was super friendly.

As always, a pleasure. Repeat guaranteed.

Very good food around the world. Everything was appealing and delicious. A lovely, enjoyable evening in Masons Kaiserslautern.

Unfortunately, we can't really understand the positive comments here. One thing in advance. The service was top. You can't fault anything here. The ambience is inviting, modern and warm. However, there is a big point deduction for the narrow seating. At tables for two, you sit almost closer to the table next to you than to your partner sitting opposite. The food was at least OK for us. Unfortunately everything is very uniform. Only a few spices that are “typical for the country” cause a change in taste. It seemed to us as if "standard sauces" or meat (e.g. pulled pork) were used in several dishes. Furthermore, all dishes were more than greasy due to fried parts or oil. This has little to do with real finesse or culinary art. Unfortunately, the desserts were extremely oversweet. If you put the above points in relation to the price of 40 €/p. (only food) I can neither give a recommendation nor a final positive conclusion. Therefore no further visit.

Very nice entertaining evening with mostly very good food.

Food was INCREDIBLE. Staff was great. We will definitely be back.

A very good gastronomic concept that allowed us to travel around the world at a high culinary level. Thank you to the entire Masons team!

Great experience, cool concept, nice atmosphere.

Fast, good food with a large selection. The portions are appropriate, as you would like to try a lot of things. What's great is that you can order almost everything vegetarian. Always my pleasure.

Very tasty, my wife and I really enjoyed it there.

Great restaurant in K-town! The food is freshly prepared and you can order new food from the tray every 6 minutes. (You can always order drinks immediately) The food is really, really tasty and fresh, kudos to the kitchen. The service is quick/friendly/helpful, great service staff! There are enough parking spaces available. We'll be back :)

Fantastic concept, around the world please, highly recommend. We'd love to come back

Great experience! Food and drinks were delicious and service was quick! Will definitely be going back.

Food is sensational! But be careful, the small portions are deceptive! I've overindulged! The only thing that was a bit annoying was that the service staff often left the empty plates on the table for a longer time and drinks took a long time even though the restaurant was quite empty But I'll definitely come back anyway!

Had super nice waitresses. Food is bomb. He was also very fond of children.

Great Service and Fun Dining experience! Made for a great Bday dinner

Very tasty food, great service and a unique concept!

Loved our first outing to Masons! The food and drinks are absolutely delicious! The only issue we had was our IPad screen didn’t always work and it took a while to order sometimes, but the food was definitely worth it!

Very good service, the food was very tasty with a large selection. Only the acoustics in the restaurant are not that good.

Food was super tasty. It was great to find something new. Will come often, even if the chairs are not made for larger butts. Unfortunately I have to reduce my rating to 3 stars due to the change in the concept of the specials. When we were there for the first time three years ago, we had to pay a one-time surcharge for the specials. Now you have to pay an additional charge per portion for each individual portion of special ordered. I find this too much. You really need to rethink the concept here. I would like to see a waiter call button for the tablets. The food was again incredibly tasty.

A great culinary journey. Homemade lemonade delicious but very sweet. Diluted spritzer to order. A matter of taste! Great courteous service. Again and again

David is the best waiter, was nice to us the whole time and gave us a surprise at the end. Just a very likeable person, funny and adaptable. He deserves a raise😘

Great restaurant and nice employees Greetings go out to David #Bestwaiter

Very nice restaurant nice staff is quite David a really friendly guy had a nice evening it gets full very quickly. But the food is extremely wonderful. Kind regards to David and David is the best waiter #David

Service great, food interesting and quick. Gladly again! A few negative points: Dogs are allowed and the farting dog at the next table had a significant impact on our evening...

Good service, hardly any waiting time and all the dishes tasted great. The individual portions are relatively small, but you will be more than full in the 2 hours and can try several dishes. The price is a bit higher but definitely justified for what you get. We'd love to come back.

A restaurant with a difference: the food was delicious, the ambience was exceptional and the service was excellent. A real highlight that is definitely worth a second visit!

Despite a slow start to the experience (I misunderstood a couple of dishes), the staff recovered magnificently. Everyone was receptive to my complaint (even though it was my fault) and quickly took action to correct my issue to my satisfaction. After that, the staff explained everything again and with a tableside tablet, we were able to browse thru the menu and order dishes we thought looked good. Between the 3 of us, we shared a bite or two of each dish. By keeping note of the 6 minute count down between orders, we were able to keep food being delivered to our table constantly and the staff definitely was hustling thru-out the evening. Every dish was delicious and the food was of a very high quality. Deserts, my only complaint would be there were too small (;)... Overall a fantastic dining experience that I highly recommend for everyone....
