Mutter Wehner in Oer-Erkenschwick

Absolutely recommended! Very good, attentive, nice service⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice ambience. Amuse Gueule was bread with onion confit...very good. The fitness salad with fruit and roasted nuts, very tasty, but not necessarily enough to eat. Ideal in combination with a starter. We were very satisfied and would like to come back.

Unfortunately I can't share the good experiences here, and the name promises more than it can deliver. There were three of us there and when we came in we were seated at a drafty table by the window. The fact that the patio heaters can be turned on when you are cold was only explained to us more or less at the end, after we had thrown our jackets back on. There is also no internet on site and no sign of guest access. We were only given the password when we asked. Well, you're here to eat. We had chosen supposedly delicious things from the menu. As a starter we had the anti-pasti platter for two, but shared between three of us. There was also schnitzel with champagne cream sauce and fried potatoes (instead of fries, it wasn't a problem to change the order), second: beef roulade with red cabbage and baked dumplings and third: pork fillet with Calvados sauce and rösti. The schnitzel was super tasty and there was nothing to complain about, but the fried potatoes were partly dark, partly they hadn't seen the bottom of the pan yet, burnt bacon and onions or raw ones in between, somehow didn't fit at all. The beef roulade was probably okay so far, but the red cabbage had no taste, no seasoning, nothing at all, some glass red cabbage is better. It has nothing to do with the red cabbage you imagine when you eat at “Mother” Wehner’s. The biggest hit of all, however, was the pork fillet, which was initially too short and then, after asking for it to be re-cooked briefly, the pig came back completely dead. Calvados sauce actually means something other than a simple pan cream with 3 pieces of apple in it. The starter antipasti platter was, unfortunately, just some tastelessly dressed vegetables with an above-average amount of beetroot, as well as a salad from the supermarket thrown on top, also dressed without oil/balsamic vinegar (unfortunately it wasn't on the table as a menage, but only a salt and pepper mill). As a “goodie” the house also provided a curd dish with fruit. Sorry, but it was obvious that they were left over from a party (you ended up walking past them at least twice on the way to the toilet) and were barely hospital level. So all in all it was below average, everything was pretty nicely presented, but even if you eat with your eyes, it won't fill you up on its own. It's a shame, a little more courage to spice things up would look good on the restaurant, as it has a balanced menu with reasonable prices, if it tasted that way. There is plenty of room for improvement, make something of it.

Great starting point for a hike. Hiking parking lot directly opposite.

Beautiful excursion destination

Highly recommended. Located in the forest in the Hardt, the dog is great for long walks! Delicious food, nice employees!

Yesterday we had our wedding including the civil ceremony, food and coffee and cake at Mother Wehner's. We were 40 guests in total I've loved going here before because of the delicious food and the great ambience, but yesterday everything was better: everything was perfect and exactly how we wanted it. 1A food and drinks, great service and tried very hard to give us a nice day. Great value for money! The children were able to run around in the forest all day, play on the playground or go pony riding. Nobody had anything negative to complain about. Everything was perfect! Thank you!

We always feel very comfortable with Mother Wehner. The service is great 👍😃 the food tasted very good again 😁

The service here is super friendly, you get the impression that people really enjoy doing their job here!

We visited Mutter Wehner, among other places, as part of the Menuekarussell (Menu Carousel). The table was beautifully set, and we received fantastic service from Sabine! She was very polite, cheerful, and yet professional. You can tell that she "lives" her job and does it with passion. The wines were explained to each course and paired really well. The food selection for the Menuekarussell was very well chosen and tasted absolutely delicious. My husband also really enjoyed the a la carte meal, which was prepared with fresh ingredients. At the end, there was a delicious mini beer – a great idea. There were still plenty of seats available, even though it was a Saturday evening, and the ambiance is cozy and furnished with lots of wood. Mutter Wehner is a bit out of the way, but the delicious food is worth traveling a bit further for. We'd love to come back soon!

Absolutely, attentive and very friendly staff. It is located in the middle of the forest and invites you to stop after a walk... We would love to come back🥰

I was there with my daughter and grandchild on a Saturday afternoon. It was relatively empty – odd. The service was friendly and pleasant. The ambiance was nice. The food came surprisingly quickly – suspicious. The food wasn't warm enough and, after being reheated, didn't taste very good. My daughter didn't like it at all.

Yesterday I ate at Mutter Wehner for the first time, and I have to say I was absolutely thrilled. Great location, super friendly service, and the food was delicious (Mutter Wehner salad). I felt completely at home. I'd happily recommend you and will definitely be back :)

We celebrated my husband's 80th birthday yesterday. Many thanks to the entire team for the friendly service, it was a relaxing afternoon/evening. The children were able to play outside from time to time. The food was super delicious!!! Our guests are all satisfied. We will definitely recommend “Mutter Wehner” and would be happy to come back ourselves.

Staff was very friendly and attentive. Cake was also delicious. After a long hike, it's definitely worth stopping off.👍

A great evening with perfect service. An absolute top recommendation for the menu carousel. Every course is a highlight, always with a comprehensive explanation of the dish and a perfectly matched wine recommendation. In addition, super nice and very competent service. We were absolutely thrilled.

Very friendly and courteous staff. The food is very good in terms of taste and quality. Dogs welcome on the wind-protected terrace and in the beer garden!

A great location for sophisticated events of all kinds in the middle of the countryside, the cuisine and service are excellent. The beer garden attracts many hikers and cyclists. Unfortunately, dogs have to stay outside. Clear visit recommendation at any time of the year!

We were there for the menu carousel and food ala card. Extremely friendly and attentive service Sabine S. Explained every course to us in detail, was very friendly and tried hard. We felt very comfortable and the food was very good. I can highly recommend the restaurant, which is a bit out of the way. Four-legged friends are also welcome, you can go for a nice walk in the area.

In any case. Very cozy. Friendly team. Plentiful buffet. If you don't get enough here, it's your own fault. Something for everyone. You can take your dog with you on the terrace. Also practical. Everything is great.

The restaurant and surroundings of the Haard are very nice. But above all, the food tasted excellent. What was also great is that the service was really good. The food was brought to the table at a pleasant time. Not too fast but not too long either

The restaurant was really nice, the service was really friendly and the food was served quickly and was great. The ambience was great and the price was also reasonable so what more could you want, I can really recommend it to everyone.

Four of us went to the menu carousel and enjoyed a really great four-course menu with excellent wines. Highly recommended. Location and parking options are also perfect. We'd love to come back!

The three of us went there for dinner for the first time as a family on February 23, 2025. We were quickly and friendly shown to our reserved table to the closed outdoor terrace, where dogs are allowed and water bowls are available. The ambience reminded me of Cafe del Sol, which I personally find uncomfortable (that's a matter of taste, of course). The service staff were very friendly. In the cool temperatures, I found myself inattentive to either offer a blanket or turn on the patio heater to my elderly parents, who put their jackets back on after a while. The food didn't come after a long wait and was very appetizing and decoratively prepared. However, the medium steak I ordered was still raw. It was reworked again and was extremely excellent. However, I find it outrageous to add an additional charge of €2.90 to the bill for re-processing the steak that was complained about. The pasta dish à la Carbonara with coconut milk and cauliflower was missing a certain oomph and found the price of €19 for such a pasta dish very excessive. This criticism is not intended to be derogatory, but rather a way to improve 😉

Great food, friendly service, great location!

Four of us were at the Mutter Wehner restaurant on February 22, 2025 for the menu carousel. The 4 course menu offered was very unusual and of high quality. We enjoyed the starter and main course so much that we wanted to ask for a second portion. The wine selection was well matched to the menu. There were also alternatives for our “driver”. Several good fairies took care of our service. They were very attentive and the crew more than deserved the 5 stars. Overall it was a very successful evening. The only small drawback that led to a deduction of one star (unfortunately half a star wasn't possible) was the relatively large room, which didn't seem that comfortable to us at first glance. But the great team more than compensated for that. Thanks again for the lovely hours.

Unfortunately I can't recommend the place, we were turned away very rudely, even though several tables were free, although some were reserved but with an hour left...a drink would have been possible? The service staff had no idea whether a table would be available soon and when we asked if we could wait at the counter, we were told that we were in the way. Really very very unfriendly. Of course I can't say anything about the gastronomy/food itself, but that's a reason for us not to visit this place again.

Wir haben uns gefreut das alle Kolleginnen und Kollegen es geschafft haben auf ein Nenner zu bekommen und bei Mutter Wehner Essen zu gehen. Aber das Essen war teilweise nicht perfekt und nicht genießbar, trotzdem wurde 10€ Trinkgeld gegeben!

Very friendly staff - fresh and tasty salad - delicious changing weekly dishes - starting point for beautiful hikes in the Haard

Totally recommended for owners and their four-legged friends. Pots of water are available.

My wife and I went to the menu carousel in the Mutter Wehner restaurant on February 16, 2025. The 4 course menu was very creative and original put together by the chef. The food was very high quality and prepared to perfection. The wine selection matched the menu sequence exactly. Individual preferences were taken into account. The evening was accompanied by Tim as a service. He was more than attentive, so he and the crew can only be awarded 5 stars. Overall, a very successful evening

We were there today, everything was just great👍keep it up

Were here for the menu carousel - the operation advice and service (Tim) were just perfect. The food was great!!!

Wir waren zum 2. Mal beim Menuekarussell bei Mutter Wehner und erneut begeistert. Das Menü war hervorragend, der Service außerordentlich und die Weinajswahl mehr als gelungen. Wir haben einen wunderschönen Abend mit ausgezeichnetem Essen verlebt, das jeden Cent wert war. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen. Herzlichen Dank an Küche und Service

There were eight of us eating there. The ambience was uncomfortable and the background noise was loud. It was already getting dark, candles from the table were not lit, lighting was far away and sparse. Service was okay but no one asked us if we needed or wanted to order anything else. Our children would have liked to order dessert. Eating sometimes cold (tarte flambée) sprayed cream in a restaurant?, burgers nothing special, overall the portions are very manageable. The price performance wasn't right. We were there on the occasion of a big birthday and were looking forward to a nice evening, unfortunately we won't be coming back after the experience.

Very popular for drinking coffee and eating out in the evening. Very fast service and the food comes quite quickly

Not recommended No information on ingredients

Very cozy and spacious restaurant. Very dog ​​friendly. Tasty schnitzels and great cakes. Nice and attentive service.

The dish of the day, cod, was not enjoyable. Buried chewy in a cream-like sauce.

Unfortunately I didn't like it at all. We were there with a dog, so we couldn't get into the cafe. But we were able to go to the covered and windproof outdoor terrace. That was good. Of course it was much cooler there, but that didn't matter because there were heaters everywhere. We look for a nice place - the terrace is large and there was only one other couple there besides us. We are looking forward to a nice afternoon with coffee and cake or my husband probably a late lunch ;-). ... but he can't ... There were four service staff in the café, but unfortunately none of them came out to us to turn on "our" heater or offer us a blanket or a cushion for the seat. That was actually enough for my husband and he would have preferred to leave immediately. But I didn't want to give up so quickly because we were looking forward to a nice afternoon. So I went into the cafe, of course the service staff looked at me straight away and I said loudly that we would like to order. They acted as if they didn't understand me, so I repeated my request. "Yes, someone will come to you immediately." - Conclusion: The heater was turned on, we only got the blankets when we asked again, my cocoa order was only taken after my husband knew what he would like to drink. Sorry guys, that was overall unprofessional, unfriendly, unhelpful, arrogant... i.e. you won't see us again for a year.

Very friendly staff. Breakfast buffet was very good and pretty well attended. Nice to stop off after a walk through the Haard. Location is perfect for that

Very nicely located location! Service & kitchen top! Always worth a visit! Also great for events such as birthdays, confirmations, anniversaries, etc! Highly recommended ☺️

We had a Christmas dinner there with a larger group and everything went great. Service very friendly and quick. The buffet we ordered there was just great. We will book again next year.

Extraordinaire perfect location to enjoy and relax.

Small portion for the prices! You don't have to have it again

There were six of us and a dog.

Everything is great. The only drawback: card payments only from €10. So there's nothing wrong with "just having two beers with your partner after a walk". Cash is not only losing its importance. In times of fewer and fewer ATMs, fewer and fewer people have anything left in their wallets. Cash is also expensive to maintain for the restaurateur. You can do better, dear Mother Wehner team.

Has some train station character. Very loud. Comfortable is different. The food was tasty, but the portion size was really small. Then go eat first...

We were there with our two children aged 5 and 7. We wanted to experience a pleasant afternoon riding horses. We paid €45 for one hour. The instruction was poor and the path in the forest was not signposted. The horses just stopped at some point and started bitching. We then went back and explained that we didn't know where to go or for how long and that the horses were being stubborn and not showing the way. And then, according to the gentleman on site, our lack of horse management skills was to blame. After some follow-up, his statement became a little smoother, but still strange and invasive. His colleague then took the same line and gave in at some point. Unfriendly strange and very expensive

We went to the employee breakfast at Mutter Wehner's for the second time with our entire staff and we were more than thrilled. Great service, super nice ambience and a very tasty buffet. A big thank you to the entire team and we will definitely come back.

Very nice restaurant right next to the forest with very friendly service and delicious food.

We have been here several times and always enjoy coming back. Here you get very good quality food and the staff is always friendly and professional. I miss my beloved ribs and the vitello tonnato, which were once on the menu, but there are always good dishes to discover. Mother Wehner is always worth a visit and definitely a recommendation from us.

Delicious German cuisine. Right at the entrance to Haard. Highly recommended.

The Mutter Wehner team made our wedding celebration an unforgettable experience. Great food, super friendly staff and a very nice atmosphere. The entire organization was extremely professional, uncomplicated and all special requests were taken into account. We would always have Mother Wehner organize our celebrations.

- very tasty food - Staff very friendly - you are greeted and said goodbye with a smile - very good restaurant

Unfortunately, our visit to Café Mutter Wehner in the forest did not live up to our expectations. The coffee was lukewarm and had little taste. The apple pie was sour and not very aromatic. Add the cream from the can (spray cream). The Belgian waffle was also disappointing and was not eaten - not fresh and without the typical texture. Overall, we were unfortunately dissatisfied with the cakes and drinks and would not recommend a visit here.

Nice restaurant, with a weather-protected terrace, for dog owners and smokers, the food is very tasty, the soups are hot to the last spoonful, and a super nice staff.

Very nice and courteous staff. There is something for everyone on the menu. Dishes are beautifully prepared and very tasty. The highlight was the original Wienerschnitzel.

Very nice restaurant with nice service and good food 👍

Always good food, nice service.

Nice excursion restaurant in the Haard. Many options are offered in the house and on the terrace, from cakes to snacks to full meals. Dogs are okay here in terms of price and the quality is also good. It's worth making a reservation on weekends.

I really enjoy the space and the food. Great service and super nice people

Very nicely located and the cake is just great

Stopped in spontaneously, super nice, vegetarian Camembert with salad is recommended!

Been there twice and last time too. Dogs sit indoors on the chair cushions at the table. Doesn't work at all. In the beer garden you have to collect your completely overpriced food from the veranda yourself. Price performance doesn't fit at all. Completely exaggerated. Chip shop food at restaurant prices

We had a delicious meal there with 6 people. Had a small child with them. Everything went well and the staff was very nice.

Everything great. Is recommended.

Actually a very nice place, but there was hardly any choice for vegetarians and there wasn't a single designated dish for vegans. Even though I'm not vegan myself, I just don't think it's up to date anymore.

Great ambience and delicious food. Absolute recommendation!

What can I say...that's how gastronomy works. Super friendly service, which also responds perfectly to special requests and great, delicious food. It doesn't get any better. It's a shame that we only went there to eat on vacation. Keep it up….👍👍

Enjoyed the breakfast buffet, dogs are allowed, which made me very happy. But the coin also has a second side. Many families with small children, so a background noise that is second to none. And it wasn't the dogs.

I was here for the first time and was absolutely thrilled. A really great café/restaurant with very nice staff. First we went for a walk and later we sat in the beer garden for almost two hours.o We didn't eat anything that next time 😊 Parking almost directly at the restaurant, we will definitely come back and have already recommended it to others.

Friendly service, unfortunately the salad was no longer crispy and had probably been sitting outside for a while. Too much dressing and wilted.

Florian was great! Had a nice evening, thank you for that

Nicely located restaurant. Ideal start and end point of a hike. Unfortunately, the food is overpriced or the quality offered does not match the price. (I've eaten much better in a chip shop).

The restaurant reminds us a bit of a "canteen". It wasn't that full, but the noise level was still quite high. The staff gave us a friendly welcome, but the drink order took a little longer to arrive. The food also took a long time, but it almost came cold at our table. The side salad had minimal dressing, which made it difficult for us to eat it so dry. All in all, we were unfortunately disappointed. For us there will be no further visit to this restaurant.

Beautiful, open-plan location with a sheltered outdoor area/veranda. Good food, attentive service. Tried the recommended tarte flambée.

The first time we got lost in the Hardt and happened to come out to Mother Wehner's house. Since then we have been passing by every now and then when we hike. For a piece of cake, waffles or lunch. The card is great. And requests are always happy to be accommodated. For example, at the birthday party when our grandma wanted the currywurst to be “not so spicy”. Everything works. We have now opened twice with larger groups, no problem with reservations. And when 5 out of 10 people canceled at short notice the second time, no one from the restaurant complained. We were even allowed to stay at the big table. Card payment is possible. Unfortunately WiFi is not available. But you don't necessarily need it when you go out to eat. It's in the middle of the forest. I just have a problem with tipping. Somehow I always manage to miscalculate and realize afterwards that I actually gave far too little. I'll be more careful next time.

We had a very pleasant evening with 18 guests to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We received a very warm welcome. As previously discussed, our table was beautifully set. The meal was a complete success and our guests were very satisfied. We would particularly like to highlight the friendly and very accommodating waitress, even though it was very busy that evening due to another celebration. Thank you for the lovely evening!

The service was very friendly, the food was partly lukewarm and lacked a bit of flavor. The noise level was very high, so there was no real comfort

Bad signage, no good service. Coffee was cold. Was disappointed.

Very nice staff. Food Very tasty.

Great restaurant with a beer garden. The location is surrounded by greenery. From Wienerschnitzel to Kässpätzle to ice cream sundaes, there is everything your heart (and your palate) desires.

Don't go riding there, the guide just shouts at you, he doesn't give you a single compliment or anything like that! And when I arrive again, for example at your parents' house, he says that he spoke very nicely even though that's not the case! DON'T GO THERE

Food is delicious, ambience is great... I would have liked to drink more but no one came...

Very nice location. Friendly staff and excellent food and drink. Also very hospitable to dogs. There is an extra dog sausage (lukewarm and without spices). We always enjoy coming here after our hike. The beer garden is also very nice.

The restaurant is very popular for guests with dogs. The coffee is half cold. The tables not wiped down.

Top service, super delicious food in a great atmosphere. We've been going there at least once a month since last year and have never been disappointed. I'm attaching two more photos of dishes from the weekly menu.

I've heard a lot about Mother Wehner and wanted to try it out. I went there with my girlfriend for the first time to make her happy, but I regretted it😥I've never had such bad food anywhere and all for expensive money. Am disappointed. Never again.

Great location in the middle of the countryside. The veggie selection could be a little better so that it's worth visiting again without having to eat the same thing on the third visit at the latest. Hence a star deduction. However, the service was very nice and we had a nice evening.

All you can eat potato pancakes on Thursdays. I didn't expect such poor quality. We have eaten at Mother Wehner's several times and have always been satisfied. But the potato pancakes were more than an imposition. In the first round we kindly pointed out that the potato pancakes were burnt. In the next round, the potato pancakes were even worse. The waiter saw our displeasure and stopped serving us. All I can say is that they no longer need it from Mother Wehner.

Unfortunately, one of the service employees was a bit impatient when he took the order, but another was very nice when I unfortunately had to complain about the food. I wasn't very impressed with the food, but that doesn't mean it's fundamentally bad. Next time I'll try something different. However, the atmosphere is very nice and an ideal place to stop for a break after a nice hike.

Great restaurant, good service and nice location. The food was very, very tasty!

We were there for the breakfast buffet on a Sunday morning. The quality of the food is fine. Everything tasted good too. However, the selection was significantly smaller compared to other restaurants. The price, on the other hand, was relatively high. We'll have breakfast somewhere else next time. But the employees were very nice and attentive.

I think everyone in Recklinghäuser knows Mother Wehner in Oer or in the Haard? If you don't know it, go there. 🙂 O.K. Now it's Mother Wehner 2.0 - no more plush sofas and a cafe in a half-timbered house - but still nice. We really enjoy being there, the atmosphere, the food and the hospitality are really great. 👍 Go there!

Greetings, everything is available from cheap to expensive

We celebrated our little one's baptism at Mutter Wehner. The organization/booking was super relaxed and easy. You notice that you are working with professionals. I coordinated and booked the buffet 6 weeks in advance and without having to ask again or anything, everything was perfect at the christening. The buffet was sensationally delicious. We've never had such fresh buffet food (as an example: the schnitzels were super crispy, despite the buffet). The dishes were very tasty/spiced. The decoration was also great, even without much coordination. We were also able to bring our own decorative elements (printed lanterns and small personalized chocolate bars as a welcome gift). We had the cake delivered straight away and since it was the “house” pastry shop, we didn’t have to worry about returning the cake stand. Another advantage of the location: Small children can either play with Mother Wehner's toys or go out to the playground and the ponies. So perfect to keep the little ones busy too. <3 So bottom line: - sensationally delicious food - hardly any organizational effort - you can just relax (you work with professionals)

Large restaurant with a small outdoor beer garden with self-service. We were there after a hike on a Saturday, it was relatively empty and cozy. On Sundays it is very crowded when the weather is good.

We were very disappointed. We ordered a coffee and cocoa and wanted to eat something else. Luckily we didn't do that. The drinks came after half an hour, the coffee was cold and spilled over. We asked for napkins and complained about the coffee. The waitress didn't respond, we then got the napkin ourselves. The cup wasn't clean either. The dryer for our hands doesn't work in the women's toilets either. We told our waitress 6 times for our payment I searched for half an hour myself and then paid. I've never experienced anything so unfriendly, and it wasn't that full either.

I was there for dinner after hiking in the beautiful Haard and ate the Mutter Wehner salad and drank a Weizen. The salad as a fitness option was fantastic and very tasty. The salad is served with fruits that can vary, for me it was apples, pineapple and grape pieces with a walnut, pumpkin and pine nut topping. Really good and highly recommended for the price. I think my photo says it all! The staff was very attentive and friendly and even asked if everything was OK.

Nice service and the food tastes good too
