Meatheaven GmbH in Bensheim

Wir waren schon mehrfach dort (3x Smoker Buffet de Luxe, 1x Surf and Turf Menü) und bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal. Fleisch beim Buffet hervorragend, auch die Beilagen. Alle die bisher mit mir dort waren sind voll und ganz begeistert!!! Ist allerdings nichts für Vegetarier 😜 Das Menü war hervorragend zusammengestellt und hat suuuper lecker geschmeckt. Meine Frau schwärmt heute noch. Preislich gehoben aber es ist es meiner Meinung nach wert. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt ist die Lautstärke in den Räumlichkeiten. Aber wir kommen wieder....!!! Parkplätze begrenzt vorm Haus aber in der Umgebung findet sich immer was.

Immer wieder absolut grandios! Preis/Leistung passt und der Service ist stets nett und aufmerksam, aber nie aufdringlich. Obwohl ich jetzt schon mehrfach zum Smoker Buffet hier war, war es nie gleich und es wird somit auch nicht langweilig oder eintönig.

Wunderbare Erfahrung! David macht die Erfahrung zu einem echten Erlebnis 🤙🏼☺️

2026: Auch der zweite Besuch war hervorragend und es gab ein paar andere zusätzliche Spezialitäten. 2025: Super Team, viel Erfahrung, super Qualität Jeden Euro wert .

Wir haben ein Steak Tasting Event bei David Pietralla besucht... ein tolles Erlebnis und kann ich uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen... für alle Fleisch-Fans. Einfach top! Tolle Fleischauswahl, perfekt zubereitet und mit wissenswerten Informationen präsentiert. Guter Service. Sehr schönes Ambiente und sein Geld absolut wert. 5 Sterne! Wir kommen zu einem anderen Event gerne wieder!

Wer Wert auf hochwertige Fleischspezialitäten legt, ist hier genau richtig. Die Auswahl ist ausgezeichnet und die Qualität der angebotenen Fleischsorten hat uns wirklich überzeugt. Geschmack, Textur und Zubereitung waren durchweg auf einem sehr hohen Niveau. Man merkt, dass hier mit hochwertigen Produkten gearbeitet wird. Der Service war aufmerksam, freundlich und kompetent. Sicherlich kein günstiges Restaurant, aber gute Qualität hat ihren Preis. Klare Empfehlung! 👊🏻🤙🏻

Unfassbar gutes BBQ! Wir waren zum Smoker Deluxe Abend hier. Es war insgesamt mein zweiter Besuch. Das Essen ist einfach eine Liga für sich. Wahnsinnig gut gesmoked und veredelt. Hier merkt man die Liebe zum Detail und zum Produkt, sowie das Handwerk das dahinter steckt. Hut ab vor dieser kulinarischen Leistung. Der Chef am Grill ist sehr sympathisch und hat den Abend fantastisch geleitet. Man merkt wie alle hier für das BBQ brennen 👍 in meinen Augen ist der Preis absolut gerechtfertigt und ein Besuch hier lohnt sich immer und egal wie weit die Anreise ist. Bis zum nächsten Mal 😃

Waren mit 7 Leuten dort und hatten einen sehr schönen Abend. Das Ambiente war sehr schön. Die Bedienung war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Getränke waren schnell serviert. Der Chef begrüßte uns Alle mit viel Infos rund ums Fleisch und zu dem kommenden Buffet. Das gesamte Fleisch und auch die Belagen waren super. Das Fleisch war mega,das Bull Beef war mega lecker 😋 und absolut unschlagbar. Die Rinderbrust war butterweich und genial gegart. Das muss man sich gönnen. Wir kammen alle an unsere Grenzen beim Essen,mehr ging nicht mehr.

Schöner Kurs, super Kursleiter, schönes Ambiente, top Fleischqualität. Wir kommen wieder.

Hi, vor einiger Zeit war ich bei einem Low and Slow BBQ Kurs zu Gast und durfte wirklich viel lernen. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte ich viel Content zu BBQ auf YouTube konsumiert und fragte mich, was mir dieser Kurs noch bringen soll. Letztendlich habe ich den Kurs gebucht um zu erfahren was das Optimum ist, was ist die Messlatte die man erreichen möchte? Und was soll ich sagen? Ich wurde nicht enttäuscht! Meine Fragen wurden geklärt und oh mein Gott, so leckeres BBQ hatte ich in meinem Leben noch nicht gegessen. Obwohl ich von YouTube einiges wusste, hat mir dieser Kurs unfassbar viel gebracht. Nach diesem Kurs verliert man leider das Interesse an BBQ Anleitungen auf YouTube und sucht stattdessen nur noch nach neuen Rezepten, weil das Handwerkliche hat man jetzt verstanden. Und obwohl ich das Wissen in diesem Kurs aufgesaugt habe wie ein Schwamm, werde ich diesen Kurs erneut buchen weil es mein BBQ Game auf ein ganz neues Level gehoben hat.

Ich war jetzt schon mehrfach bei Meatheaven und der „Low & Slow“-Kurs bei David Pietralla bestätigt jedes Mal aufs Neue: Das ist kein normaler Grillkurs, das ist ein echtes Erlebnis. Die Atmosphäre ist unglaublich entspannt, persönlich und gleichzeitig extrem hochwertig. Man merkt sofort, dass hier jemand mit echter Leidenschaft und Know-how am Werk ist. Was den Kurs aber wirklich heraushebt: Davids enormes BBQ-Wissen. Egal ob Cuts, Zubereitung, Temperaturen oder Hintergründe zu den Produkten. Er kennt sich bis ins Detail aus und schafft es dabei, alles super verständlich, spannend und ohne jede Spur von Langeweile zu vermitteln. Man nimmt nicht nur gutes Essen, sondern auch richtig viel Know-how mit nach Hause. Und dann das Essen… einfach auf einem anderen Level: Vom Oro Negro Lachs aus Neuseeland mit perfekt abgestimmter Sojasauce bis hin zu deutschem Fullblood Wagyu, das unter anderem als Pastrami und Brisket zubereitet wird, jedes einzelne Gericht ist ein Highlight. Besonders hängen geblieben ist ein kreatives Burger-Patty aus geschmorter Rindersehne und Dry Aged Filet. Klingt verrückt, schmeckt aber absolut genial. Genau solche Ideen machen den Kurs so besonders. Auch die Qualität der Produkte ist durchgehend herausragend. Hier wird nichts dem Zufall überlassen. Das Ambiente setzt dem Ganzen die Krone auf: Ein stilvoll umgebauter ehemaliger Brauraum mit modernem, zeitlosem Design. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl und verbringt dort einfach gerne Zeit. Wer gutes Essen liebt und mehr als nur „Grillen“ erleben will, ist hier genau richtig. Für mich jedes Mal ein Highlight. Absolute Empfehlung!

Ich war schon bei verschiedenen Kursen & Buffets. Jedes mal bin ich Glücklich raus. Qualität hat eben sein Preis!

Wir hatten uns für das Deluxe BBQ Buffet entschieden, zunächst die Erwartungen lagen sehr hoch, da wir selbst BBQ Partys veranstalten und somit auch die Abläufe und das drumherum sehr gut einschätzen können. Kurz und knapp, es war spitzenmässig! Das Fleisch war komplett auf dem Punkt, Beilagen Top! David und sein gesamtes Team waren sehr freundlich und gesprächig. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Gruß Lars von X-Burg BBQ aus Creuzburg Thüringen

Eine Perle des BBQs. Waren vorhin im Smoker Buffet. Preis-Leistung völlig in Ordnung. Qualität durch die Bank stark. Hier gibt es kein fake-smoked Meat, sondern das richtige Brett mit Liebe zum Detail. Lassen Sie Ihre Gabel und Zähne daheim, denn es zerfällt alles im Mund. Absolute Empfehlung. Top Service. 1+ für die Smokerboys.

Meatheaven — Soul Fire Spirit Funk Fresh and clean Es gibt Orte, die schmecken wie ein Versprechen. Meatheaven ist so ein Ort: rauchig, warm, präzise — und immer mit einem kleinen Funk im Herzen. David und Elli sind nicht nur Gastgeber; sie sind Kuratoren von Momenten, die man mit den Sinnen liest. Als langjähriger Gast und kulinarischer Wingman habe ich viele Teller gesehen, aber nur wenige Male dieses Zusammenspiel aus Produktkenntnis, handwerklicher Präzision und echter, bedingungsloser Leidenschaft. --- Ein Abend, eine Anekdote Ich erinnere mich an einen Abend, an dem die Gruppe halb im Glück, halb in Nocarnophobie war — die kollektive, leicht theatralische Angst, dass das Fleisch ausgeht. David lächelte und reichte eine Scheibe, und die Angst verwandelte sich in Gelächter. Es war kein bloßes Stück Fleisch, es war ein Magic Food Moment: die Kruste knusprig wie ein Trommelbeat, das Innere zart wie ein Soul‑Solo, Aromen, die sich wie Background‑Chöre aufbauten. In diesem Augenblick wurde klar: Hier geht es nicht nur um Essen, hier wird Kultur serviert. --- Warum Meatheaven besonders ist • Authentizität: Was hier auf den Tisch kommt, ist das Ergebnis echter Expertise — keine Show, sondern ehrliches Handwerk. • Produktqualität: Jedes Stück erzählt seine Herkunft; die Garstufen sind präzise, die Texturen sprechen Bände. • Gastfreundschaft: David und Elli erklären, führen, lachen — ohne je die Intimität des Moments zu stören. • Soulfood mit Köpfchen: Komfort und Raffinesse zugleich; Gerichte, die satt machen und gleichzeitig neugierig zurücklassen. --- Für Fleischliebhaber und Neugierige Wenn du Fleisch liebst, wirst du hier heimisch. Wenn du neugierig bist, wirst du belehrt — auf die beste Art: charmant, humorvoll, ohne Belehrung. Meatheaven schafft es, Funk in die Küche zu bringen, Spirit auf den Teller und Fresh and clean in die Präsentation. Es ist eine Bühne, auf der Produktwissen und Leidenschaft miteinander tanzen. --- Danke Danke, David. Danke, Elli. Für die Abende, die Gespräche, die kleinen Lehrstunden hinter den Kulissen und die großen Momente am Tisch. Als Gast mit Wertschätzung und als Wingman hinter den Kulissen sage ich: Ihr macht das Beste aus jedem Stück Fleisch — und aus jedem Abend. Wer hier nicht hingeht, verpasst mehr als ein Gericht; er verpasst ein kleines Fest für die Sinne. Kulinarische Soulfood Grüße 🖖 Alex

Unvergessliches Erlebnis gehabt. Wir hatten einen Wunderbarern Abend gehabt, hat einfach alles gepasst. Kommen auf jedenfall nochmal vorbei🤤🤤🤤. Man merkt das ihr das mit Liebe und Leidenschaft macht, macht weiter so.

Waren neulich zum Smoker Deluxe Buffet da und was soll ich sagen... Fleischkoma pur, aber im besten Sinne! 🥩 Das Brisket und die Beef-Ribs waren so butterzart, die sind fast von alleine zerfallen. David (der Chef) hat das Ganze auch richtig cool präsentiert, man merkt einfach, dass da massig Fachwissen dahinter steckt. Klar, 89€ pro Nase (ohne Getränke) ist schon ne Ansage und nicht gerade günstig. Aber die Qualität rechtfertigt das echt, sowas kriegt man nicht an jeder Ecke. Das Ambiente unten is super edel, nur der Saal oben könnte vielleicht noch 'nen Tacken gemütlicher sein, aber das is Meckern auf hohem Niveau. Kleiner Tipp: Unbedingt reservieren, vor allem wenn man ne weitere Anreise hat wie wir. Werden definitiv wieder kommen, vielleicht zum Meat & Malt Tasting nächstes mal. 🥃 Echt ne Pilgerstätte für jeden, der auf ordentliches BBQ steht!

Überragend.. im Mittelpunkt steht Fleisch! Der Gastgeber erklärt ausführlich die Speisen und dessen Herkunft. Es war absolut jeden Cent wert. Der Service hat einen spitzen Job gemacht... Absolut wiederholens Wert.

Danke David für einen perfekten Low und Slow-Kurs. Es war ein absolut gelungener Tag und es hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht.

Das Meatheaven macht seinen Namen alle Ehre. Hier gibt es leckeres Fleisch vom Smoker und ebenso leckere Beilagen. Allerdings keinen regulären Restaurant-Betrieb. Hier kann man nur für "Events" Plätze reservieren. Im Sommer gibt es ab und zu auch Mal die Gelegenheit einfach so vorbei zu kommen, wenn sie Aktionen zu bestimmten Themen machen (immer auf der Webseite schauen, da steht alles). Zusammenfassend kann ich sagen, dass es einem zunächst sehr teuer erscheint, der Preis aber für die gebotene Leistung mMn fair ist. Wir waren schon öfter dort und wurden bisher nie enttäuscht.

Hervorragendes essen und super Service man muss sich das einfach einmal gönnen

Tolles Event. Schon das 2. Mal teilgenommen. Es lohnt sich!

Wir waren bereits zum zweiten Mal zum Smoker Buffet und das Essen ist einfach top. Die Atmosphäre in dem Saal könnte etwas schöner/gemütlicher sein und die Wartezeit bis man bezahlen konnte zum Schluss war zu lang. Was mir persönlich aber am meisten missfällt, ist die Preisanhebung von ca. 10€ pP für das Buffet OBWOHL seit 01.01.2026 die MwSt von 19% auf 7% gesenkt wurde. Das entspricht einer Erhöhung von rund 20€ pP und finde ich nicht gerechtfertigt. Für den Preis der nun aufgerufen wird, passt das ganze rundherum für uns einfach nicht mehr.

Das Smoker Buffet und das DeLuxe Smoker sind wirklich unschlagbar. Ich habe noch nie so gutes gesmoktes Fleisch gegessen. Letztes Jahr hatte ich mit Kollegen das DeLuxe Buffet und dieses Jahr das normale und ich muss wirklich sagen, das Deluxe ist definitiv das bessere Buffet. Egal ob vom Schwein, Rind, Huhn oder Fisch, alles ist unwahrscheinlich lecker. Auch die Beilagen sind top. Der Service ist ebenfalls sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.

Wir waren zum Sylvester-Buffet hier. Es war, wie immer köstlich und hervorragend gut. Super Service und tolles Ambiente. Sehr gerne wieder. Hervorragendes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Absolut erstklassiges essen , super schnelle und freundliche Bedienung.

We went for the "Deluxe" smoker buffet, and our expectations were completely met. Definitely worthwhile for meat lovers, and the quality and preparation justify the price. Important tip: Order smaller portions so you can try everything and really enjoy it.

Great location. Amazing meat and everything is of very good quality 😀

Steak tasting at its finest! What a highlight! Not only was the meat perfect, but also the stories, the ambiance, the service, and the side dishes – oh my god! The trio of sweet potato dishes was amazing! Unforgettable!!

Wow! That was the best BBQ I've ever had. A wide selection of high-quality meat and fish products, from brisket and beef ribs to flame-grilled salmon and pulled pork. The ambiance downstairs is very elegant and creates the perfect atmosphere for the open kitchen and grilling area. A super friendly team supported Chef David that evening. Highly recommended! We'll be back! Our second visit was also amazing. The product quality, the passion of David and his team, and the cozy atmosphere impressed us once again!

A truly unique culinary experience! From the initial welcome to the "Meat and Malt" tasting to the final farewell, it was a harmonious and genuinely unique experience. The concept behind it was exceptionally well-executed; the selection of meats and whiskies was perfectly matched, the "intermediate courses/side dishes" were absolutely fantastic in both texture and flavor, and the quality of the ingredients was very high. In short, an absolutely recommendable evening that you simply must experience. The seven of us were thrilled and will definitely be back. And a huge thank you and much praise to the service team; they were truly perfect. (These pictures are just a few glimpses, so as not to give too much away.)

Unique restaurant! I've already been to both the steak tasting, where you can see the pictures here, and the smoke deluxe all-you-can-eat meal. I've never experienced such quality in terms of taste or service anywhere else. The owner and chef prepares the food with joy and a smile and answers all questions. I would gladly give it more stars!

Beef on Buns – what a cool promotion! On selected days of the year, you can enjoy delicious burgers and sandwiches here. Not only the great ambiance in the tasting room and on the terrace, but the overall atmosphere is impressive: You immediately sense that this is a team that really cares. I've rarely been served with such kindness and attention! Burgers and side dishes are freshly prepared in the open kitchen before my very eyes and are a culinary bomb! Dear Meat Heaven team: Please keep up the good work!

Always a great barbecue. Great quality, fair price.

A great restaurant, lovely ambiance. And a top-notch meat buffet. Perfect for meat lovers. And the chef is so great and always explains what's on offer. Absolutely fantastic!

Anyone who loves meat can indulge their love here. Every dish, including the side dishes, has a good foundation.

Sensationally delicious meat. David is an absolute connoisseur and specialist in all things meat. Friendly service, and Elli was particularly charming. Thank you and we'll be back.

Absolutely fantastic! David knows how to impress with his extensive expertise and superb products. His presentation style is unique and magnificent. The service left nothing to be desired. My first visit will not be my last! Huge praise to the entire team for an unforgettable evening.

We were there for the BBQ Kitchen Party. Super excited, and it exceeded all expectations. The quality of the dishes, the top-notch service, the location, all questions were patiently answered. This certainly won't be our last visit. It's amazing how casually the food is prepared here, creating true works of art. Thanks to David & the entire team 🫶🏻

We went to the Smoke House on a Saturday evening and loved the food. I also think it's great that you can now reserve a table, especially if you have a long journey like we did. We had the BBQ Heaven platter, which is advertised for up to two people and is also sufficient for two regular eaters. The meat was excellent, with a wonderful smoky flavor. You can choose your sides. We had jacket potatoes, corn on the cob, and the brisket beans, although the latter was too meaty for me as a side dish. The prices for the BBQ platters are a bit higher, but still reasonable for what's on offer. I've deducted one point from the overall rating, though. 1. The drink prices are quite steep. 2. The price for dessert. Two forks of cheesecake for over €5 is a bit overpriced. We'll still happily go there for BBQ again, but we'll skip dessert.

Once you've been there, you won't want to go anywhere else

I have never eaten such delicious and good meat.

Yesterday, I ordered a few BBQ Heaven platters from the Smokehouse menu for pickup. Excellent, from the meat to the sides to the coleslaw. My guests were thrilled. I'll be back.

We went to Meatheaven for the Smoker Deluxe Buffet. After a brief introduction, the buffet was opened. In addition to eight different cuts of meat, there were countless side dishes. Everything was of a very high standard. To name a few highlights: Wagyu brisket, beef ribs, and pulled beef. At the end, you wonder how it's possible for that price. For good eaters, this is truly Meatheaven ;) We will definitely be back.

"Meat Heaven" with a difference! At all events, the food is an exceptional experience, but the "Fine Dining Days" from August 6th to 9th, 2025, during which the kitchen crew consisting of Sandy, Nico, and Dennis, along with a friendly, courteous, relaxed, and authentic service team, demonstrated a different side of the cuisine and the skills of the chefs – that was truly exceptional!!! With a menu from the "world of Michelin-starred cuisine" featuring high-quality ingredients and an unusual, yet harmonious selection of dishes and menu sequence, we were enthusiastic consumers!!! A special highlight was the open kitchen, allowing you to not only observe the creation of each of the 6 or 8 courses – and even ask questions directly – but also witness the interaction and harmony of the entire team, which was masterfully delegated throughout the evening by Head Chef Sandy Erb! A culinary experience!!! We were thrilled and will be back!!

My family and I were very impressed by the Smoker Deluxe Buffet. It's always a culinary highlight, from the incredibly high-quality, buttery-tender variety of meat to the side dishes and dessert! Mr. Pietralla's charming, short introductory speech at the beginning of the event gives an idea of how much passion and energy he must put into the painstaking preparation of the meat. In addition, the team greets and serves you in a super-friendly manner. We also thought the Fine Dining Week was very successful and a fantastic idea. It was wonderful to watch the creatively composed, high-quality dishes being lovingly prepared and presented. We experienced top-notch service at this event as well. We always feel completely at home here. :-)

I've been there for an event for the first time in a while. Everything was just fantastic, the stars aren't enough 💪

Really cool location, totally cute and quaint. The food was amazing, the meat so tender you didn't even have to chew it. The staff was friendly and attentive even though the event was completely sold out. If you like meat and barbecue, you have to go to MeatHeaven!

I highly recommend this restaurant! There were eight of us, and despite the packed house, we didn't have to wait long to get to the excellent buffet. There was enough for everyone, and not only was the meat outstanding, but the side dishes also deserve a special mention! All in all, a successful evening. We'd be happy to go again!

Clearly really good quality! A must for every meat lover

We're always impressed by the quality and expertise of David. We always enjoy coming back for BBQs. The cooking classes are also highly recommended; you always learn something new.

The gourmet professionals we're happy to travel 500km to enjoy. Mr. Pitralla and his entire team are paragons of customer-focused carnivorousness. A barbecue brims with carefully selected meats, exquisite side dishes, and sauce creations. In the feel-good atmosphere of Meatheaven, you can tell they take quality and flavor seriously, and it doesn't just taste delicious, it hits the taste buds so hard that we can't help but indulge in it regularly. We're already looking forward to the next Detailers BBQ!

I was at the smoker buffet at Meatheaven in Bensheim – and let me tell you: This place isn't just a restaurant, it's a pilgrimage site for meat lovers. The buffet? It was absolutely amazing. Tender brisket, juicy ribs with a perfect crust, buttery pulled pork, chicken with a sensational bite – every single piece of meat was a hit. You can taste the work here, done with patience, skill, and true passion. Plus, a lovingly prepared side buffet with fresh, varied salads, homemade sauces, and, as a sweet finish, a fluffy cheesecake with strawberry sauce – just the perfect finale after a savory meal. The atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed, the staff friendly, attentive, and authentic. You feel welcome, but not over-served – just the right mix. In conclusion: If you love BBQ, Meatheaven should put it high on your culinary map. It's not just about the food – it's about taste, craftsmanship, and enjoyment at a high level. I'll definitely be back. And hungry

The meat there is truly worth every penny; the selection at the Smoker Buffet Deluxe is outstanding and incredibly delicious. The ambiance is typically rustic German, but you go there to eat, not to sit around. 😂

The best BBQ in the best atmosphere! The meat is grilled to perfection, and the side dishes are equally delicious. Combined with friendly and attentive service, a trip to Meatheaven is a truly memorable experience.

Simply outstanding, it couldn't be better 👍😋Absolutely worth the price👍👍👍👍

I've been going to Meatheaven for years, and I have to say I've never experienced such wonderful hosts. The staff are always friendly, too. For me, it's like being with family or friends. The courses are very informative, and all questions are answered. The atmosphere is simply fantastic, with the open kitchen. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Visit David at one of his events and see for yourself.

Everything perfect, meat and David too

Beef on buns. Delicious pulled pork burger with cooked cheese at a fair price! Absolutely recommended!!!!🫶

Absolutely recommended for meat lovers who value decent quality 👍👍👍

Mega Mega Mega! You can't say more

I booked a cooking class as a gift for my brother. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend due to illness, and in the hectic pace we failed to cancel in time - our father had recently had an accident at work with a subsequent operation and was therefore in need of care. In this exceptional situation, the appointment was unfortunately cancelled. I contacted the company in a friendly manner and explained the situation, hoping for a rebooking or a voucher. Unfortunately, I was initially strictly informed that if I did not show up without cancellation, the ticket would be completely forfeited. When I asked again, I received a personal call from the boss, which I really appreciated - even if the result was unfortunately disappointing: I was offered to get €40 credited for drinks if I booked again. That sounds nice, but it assumes that I pay the full price again - which is difficult to understand in this situation. I find it particularly unfortunate that, according to the boss, reminders about participation are usually given by phone before the course - in our case, unfortunately, this call never happened. If that had happened, we might have been able to save the course. The courses on offer may be really good, but in exceptional human situations I would have liked more accommodation and flexibility. Unfortunately, despite friendly communication, I am left with a bitter aftertaste.

I went to the spring BBQ. The food is very tasty and the quality is very good. I can't imagine anyone not enjoying it here. I will definitely come back.

It couldn't be better! Have been here several times for various buffets and will continue to come here.

Everything is great! Absolutely recommended.

We attended David's burger course and were thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere was fantastic and the group was not too large. This meant that everyone who wanted to could get involved, and it created a great atmosphere. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and, above all, enjoyed ourselves! We'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work!

Any time. Very highly recommended.

Were there several times for different buffet topics. Always very tasty meat. Nice service. Really recommended

You have to do it once, reserve well in advance

Well done and an interesting evening

It was our first time at Meatheaven. Everything is chic and elegantly furnished in the tasting room. We had the 7 course menu. Judging by the portion sizes, you would have had to go home hungry. But it wasn't like that. We went home full and happy. The open kitchen meant you could watch David prepare and serve the dishes and also ask questions, which he answered with passion and dedication. Conclusion: It wasn't the last time we were there. Will come again promised. Of the 100 km journey it was worth every km. You guys have to go there.

Enjoyed the burger event at Meathaven today. As always, delicious 😘

What David conjures up is absolutely top class! To all #Frankfurt and #Darmstadt steakhouses: This is the measure of all things! I have been a guest at #Meatheaven several times and am absolutely thrilled with the quality and preparation of the food. I don't know of any other steakhouse of this quality that's even remotely comparable. Why do I presume to judge? Because I have traveled a lot around the world and know many restaurants, even at star level. What can be enjoyed at the Christmas barbecue buffet, for example, is unrivaled.

We went to the Smoker Deluxe dinner with our son and daughter-in-law. Price per 89€. The food was absolutely worth the money. Excellent variations of meat, salads and sauces. If you are in the area, you should book a meal. Absolutely top and recommended. We would love to come back.

We had the smoker buffet Everything tasted great All in all a successful evening Gladly again

We were totally pleasantly surprised at the Wagyu Madness event. The service, the ambience and the menu were first class. The concert of the evening was super harmonious. We were warmly welcomed, served and pampered. The quality of the food is the best quality. We really felt like we were in the Meatheaven

A unique experience not to be missed! Here meat is presented at the highest level and you also learn. An experience that I can recommend to every meat lover. Thank you for the unique memories <3

It was a really great buffet experience with amazing smoked meat. We booked in July so we could be there in October. Was completely booked again. But really great.

Were there for a steak tasting. Unreservedly recommended. Great team, great food and very interesting information on the topic. Thanks for the great evening!

I was there as part of a company event! Important: Meatheaven is exclusively an event location, not a public restaurant! The location is very tastefully and high quality furnished! The steak tasting was great and presented with a lot of passion! Consideration for dietary restrictions was exemplary! Service very friendly and accommodating! Limited parking spaces directly in front of the building!

We were here for the Smoker Deluxe...hosts were in a good mood as always. The food was of course great. You don't get something like that on your plate every day. There was only the finest meat. And that's how it tasted. My favorite, as it has been for years, are the ribs and the brisket...Best I ever had. For 90 euros plus drinks, I think you can at least expect that. All the side dishes that came with it were also very good. Overall a great evening with friends and good food.. We'll be back👍 5*

Was on September 14th. to the smoker buffet there. It was simply a first-class experience. Great meat quality and you can just tell how much love he puts into his work. I can really only recommend it. The only drawback was the 120km journey home that I had to take on a full stomach 😉

Amazing event! Amazing food, great vibes and lots of laughs. You know everything was going to be amazing when you hear the passion the owner has for grilling and food. 100% recommend to anyone looking for something different when it comes to grilling and looking just to taste quality.

Meatheaven in Bensheim is truly a paradise for BBQ lovers. As soon as you enter the restaurant, you are greeted by a seductive scent of smoke and spices, which awakens your anticipation of the taste experience to come. The grill courses are super educational, the smoker buffet is an absolute gem and the Beef on Buns always serves the finest dishes. The smoky aromas and the perfect seasoning make every BBQ fan's heart beat faster. Meatheaven has truly earned its name - it serves BBQ at the highest level!

As the name suggests: Meatheaven ♥️

There's nothing more to say than "PERFECT"

We went as a group for steak tasting. David and his team were very good hosts. We were able to gain many interesting insights into the steak world. The steak selection was very interesting and we were able to taste and experience the differences between the individual steaks. The excellent accompaniments to the steaks were not to be neglected. Thank you for the lovely evening with you. See you next time.

The “Beef on Buns” event was also excellent, as was the steak course. Clear recommendation!

I was able to DJ an event at Meatheaven. As is always the case - we are allowed to eat.... People: Great! Mega food, and when I say mega I mean outstanding! David and his team have it! Rarely have we eaten such great food. In addition, the service is extremely nice, courteous and focused on the essentials. I look forward to being able to visit Meatheaven again in the future or meeting the team at an event. Best regards, MAX FLOW

Everything perfect. However, the quality also has its price.

Meat lovers paradise!!! Mega beautiful location furnished with a lot of style, very friendly staff and the food is excellent! Vegetarians also get their money's worth here. Both the meat and the side dishes are of very high quality and prepared with a lot of love. The atmosphere in the restaurant and outside in the beer garden is unique. You can go to this gourmet restaurant alone or in groups. To be on the safe side, a reservation is an advantage as they also like to hold events. You can also purchase cool t-shirts, your own spices, books and accessories for your own kitchen. Highly recommended, will go back soon as it's an absolute dream for me as a meat lover

No matter whether it's a smoker buffet or a burger workshop... the long journey is always worth it. For me the benchmark when it comes to BBQ and meat quality. Perfect service and a charismatic boss make it all complete.

On May 12th, 2024 I attended the “Low & Slow BBQ” grilling course with David Pietralla with some other nice like-minded people. What can I say... an impressive and unique experience. We had a good 7-8 hours to sink into the depths of the BBQ. David gave us an incredible amount of information about American BBQ and much more. The whole thing was accompanied by truly exquisite products, from Wagyu beef to black-feathered chicken, from sweet potatoes to seasonal Lampertheim asparagus. A lot of it was put on the different grill/smoke devices and was expertly processed into truly incredible delicacies. The Wagyu pastrami was “my” real taste revelation... Rated “Unforgettable”! Plus one or two cold beers and lots of smoke conversations. A really recommendable afternoon at Meatheaven. To David and the team...keep it up...I'm looking forward to the pop-up restaurant concept!

We went to the “low & slow” smoker course on May 12, 2024. Almost eight hours of incredibly good barbecue course in a nice atmosphere and a small group (12 people). Extremely interesting, very likeable and the ambience and quality are a straight 1.0. It couldn't be better and we definitely weren't there for the last time. Worth every penny...Thanks David

It's really unbelievable, we've been there 7 or 8 times and each time it was better than the last time, just great😊 The next thing we give each other is the Steak Tasting Mega 👌 Thanks again to the team with their lovely boss David Pietralla👌😊🙏 Until the next event 😍

Here the name says it all, delicious preparation, great taste and very attentive and nice staff

We had booked the BBQ grill course! And what can I say, just great! From the ambience to the product quality to the presentation, it's simply perfect all around! I can only warmly recommend this to anyone who wants to indulge in culinary delights and further their education at the same time! We definitely weren't here for the last time! Keep it up !

Mega Smoker Deluxe Buffet! Compliments to David, who has been doing this excellently for years and only brings the best to the grill/smoker. Keep it up and your guests will be happy✌️

Great location to enjoy at a high level for friends of grilled meat in the best quality, great selection of salads

We attended a smoking course there and were absolutely thrilled and spent a wonderful day there. A must for those who love to smoke!!!!
