Restaurant Jägerhaus in Esslingen am Neckar

In the Jägerhaus I was served coffee that was so thin that you could clearly see the bottom of the pot. And it tasted so thin. Then the whole beautiful ambience was no longer relevant.

Absolutely excellent food and first-class service at the Jägerhaus! For the starter I had tripe, which was perfectly prepared, and for the main course, lentils with spaetzle - both a real treat. The staff were extremely attentive and professional. Particularly noteworthy is the host, who not only does a great job, but is also very communicative and friendly. I can highly recommend the Jägerhaus and will definitely come back!

Location is nice, there is enough parking, but food is average industry

Super delicious food and very friendly service, everything just fits! :)

Very nice restaurant with a great beer garden for the warm season. Very friendly staff, especially very child-friendly.

After the walk we wanted to sit comfortably and drink coffee. I suspect due to a lack of staff...like everywhere else...the outside area was not served. However, you could get everything your heart desired in self-service, sit beautifully outside and enjoy the weather. Thank you for the wonderful time with you.

We really enjoyed our lunch again

Very good food and very friendly service (Jackie)😊😊👍👍

We celebrated a lovely party in the Jägerhaus with a party of almost 90 people. I would like to highlight a few positive things: The Jägerhaus team gave us great support during the preparation and responded to our wishes. The team's advice was also worth its weight in gold. The staff and service at the festival were really, really good. All guests commented on how well they were looked after. The food was super tasty. Some guests said that with the name Jägerhaus they would be skeptical as to whether the food would be too rustic, but it was great in all aspects. Mega tasty, beautifully presented, simply 10/10. Huge thanks to the whole team for this great day.

We were a larger group of approx. 30 people there for lunch. Nevertheless, no one had to wait long for their food and everyone was satisfied. I had game goulash with spaetzle and cranberries, absolutely delicious. The inside of the restaurant is decorated with a variety of antlers, which is of course a matter of taste. But after all, it's not called Jägerhaus for nothing. The view is breathtaking. I'll save pictures, other reviewers have already posted enough of them.

You just have to stop there, because everything there is really GREAT..!!

We celebrated our wedding in the Restaurant/Hotel Jägerhaus and were very satisfied - from the initial contact and advice, through short-term arrangements until shortly before, everything was friendly, professional and problem-free. The hotel has a great location “above the rooftops of Esslingen”, we all liked the food very much and the service staff that was there for us and our guests, Mary and Ray, were just great! We had an unforgettable day and a great time - many thanks to Mr. Rörich & the Jägerhaus team!

Excellent comfortable and clean hotel

Unfortunately you have to give one star to publish a review. Absolutely worst service we have ever experienced. But then the question arises: what decency, manners and customer service should one expect from such village people? Since 2023 we have ordered a salad with goat cheese (starter, €14.50) as a larger portion. We were always charged an additional €4 for this, so the salad cost €18.50. When we received the bill this time, we were wondering how the price of €60 for a bottle of water and two salads came about. Of course, we immediately turned to the (inexperienced, incompetent, unprofessional) waitress named Lara C. who served us. Because the bill was simply thrown together: a side salad was added (reason: because of the additional lettuce leaves) AND a third portion of salad. My question as to how the price was determined was answered with “the boss decided so”. When we wanted to speak to the boss, we were told that he was “no longer there”. Another aggressive, blonde, strong waitress was called in to reinforce the situation, and she angrily snatched the receipt out of her hand to take a look at it. The incompetent waitress named Lara C. finally took all her courage to attack us and become rude. When we further asked “how a salad with cheese can cost more than a salad with meat”, they said “yes, cheese is expensive”. Of course we understood that immediately and were able to understand the calculation better :-) (irony). Result: They refused to change the bill. You would expect at least a small note from a restaurant about how to calculate larger portions (upon request). Simply booking different positions at random is absolutely unacceptable. Dear guests, be careful in this restaurant, check your bills and don't get ripped off!

We came here for the first time for our mother-in-law's birthday and we really enjoyed it! Particularly noteworthy is the friendliness of the service staff. We keep the Jägerhaus in mind as the location for the next round.

We had dinner at the Jägerhaus this evening. We had the roast roast, the pepper slices, linguine and bread dumplings, each with chanterelles. Plus a vegan dish. It was all very tasty and delicious. The side salads were also really good. Mr. Raymond B. served us extremely friendly and with a lot of humor. Thank you for the lovely evening

The food is average and the prices are excessive.

Unfortunately, even after my last visit, I can't say anything too positive. We were there with a group, my mixed salad with turkey breast strips only had a tiny dollop of potato salad, the carrot salad was completely missing. The others in the group seemed to be fine. I complained, but unfortunately this complaint was completely ignored several times. I had to wait a good 20 minutes for my drink (fizzy!!!). It was incredibly hot that day! When the drink was finally delivered, there wasn't even an apology about the long wait. The food itself was ok, but nothing special, the price was way too high. The leaves of the lettuce are clearly a convenience salad mix. Such a shame! I've heard so many good things about the Jägerhaus and tested it several times. So far it hasn't convinced me once.

Little choice for small dishes. For snack there is only sausage salad

We come to the restaurant regularly. The ambience and service were good again today. Unfortunately the quality of the food is no longer up to par. I ordered a schnitzel with spaetzle and sauce. The schnitzel was not cooked through, which was evident from the breading, which was still very light. Unfortunately, the spaetzle was only lukewarm. The service was good as always and the wait staff was very nice and helpful. We won't be coming here to eat again for the time being and hope that the quality will improve again.

Nice staff and I would say that the organization is good to very good. But you get the feeling that it's a starter, main course and dessert. You won't get full from venison goulash alone.

We went for lunch on August 26, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. Unfortunately, the fries were cold and rock hard. Schnitzel and vegetarian food were great. Therefore only 4 stars. There were 2 women responsible for the service. One very friendly (big black hair) and the second blonde and unfriendly. When I pointed out to her that we had also ordered fries, she gave the rude answer that she only has 2 hands 😞😞 Her whole behavior wasn't friendly either. We weren't unkind to her!!! Therefore only 3 stars!! We asked politely! It's a shame ☹️ otherwise it would have been perfect

Now that the holiday season is over, I have finally found the inspiration to write a review. We went to the restaurant for lunch and coffee/cake with a smaller birthday party. Since we have eaten here several times, it was clear that this would be a successful celebration. The Jägerhaus team not only met expectations, but even exceeded them. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the success. Just the fact that we had a niche in the “tavern” just for us and the table was decorated so well is worth a lot of praise. All of our guests have never been to the Jägerhaus before but are full of praise and will definitely come back again.

Simply wonderful!! Everything is just right. The food is delicious, there are always small changes to the menu. Depending on the season, new dishes are offered. There is also a good selection of wonderful dishes for vegetarians. The service is simply outstanding. The service staff is very attentive, very friendly and competent. For me it's my absolute favorite restaurant, just like it was for my grandparents and great-grandparents. I'm already looking forward to our next visit.

Very nice airy place. Nice staff, the food tasted good. Price performance top

Nicely located. In the beer garden you don't notice anything from the main street. Unfortunately my food came to the table lukewarm. Service was great at the beginning, but unfortunately it deteriorated as time went on.

Nice view, the food is okay for a restaurant of this size. Service was good, prices were reasonable to high

Delicious food on a beautiful terrace with a great view. And very friendly, competent staff👍

Ambience on the terrace, wonderful, priceless view, dining room is more like a waiting room, the food was okay but nothing more.

We have eaten at the Jägerhaus several times now. Beautiful surroundings, great beer garden and restaurant. The food in the restaurant, home-style cooking, tastes very good. I think the price-performance ratio is good. The service was always very friendly and attentive. Because of my food allergy, an uncomplicated solution has always been found. The fact that you can manage that, given the size of the restaurant, including the beer garden and the hotel operation, is a big respect. My respect! You sometimes turn a blind eye to one or two rare service faux pas. It's nice that there is a restaurant like this in our area. Gladly again and again.

Beautiful view from the altitude. Large forest in the immediate vicinity invites you to linger.

Last weekend, eight of us had dinner at the Jägerhaus on the occasion of a birthday. At the beginning we had to wait a little longer for a table (despite reservations and free tables on the terrace). The waiters all seemed already annoyed and stressed and weren't particularly friendly. We then had to wait quite a long time for the food. What was very weak, however, was that during the entire dinner, not once did a waiter come to us to ask if we would like something to drink again or if we would like to order anything else in general. We weren't asked whether everything was okay or whether we liked it. Very unusual for such a restaurant with an actually good reputation! All in all the food was good, there's not much to complain about. The soups could have been a little spicier. The crowning glory (unfortunately very negative) came with the bill. With a total bill of around €270, our bill also included 2 main courses and 2 drinks worth almost €50!! If I hadn't requested the invoice (which I was only offered after paying), we would have paid €50 more. Apparently it was food and drinks from guests from lunch. Luckily I got the money back without much discussion. Conclusion: Service is subpar and absolutely inattentive, something urgently needs to be improved here. The food tasted good.

Today we had a fantastic roast, served by his very attentive waiter, we will come back!

Been here several times. Never been disappointed. Food was good, selection satisfactory. Service super good. Reservations are also necessary in the beer garden. Depending on the weather, great views over Esslingen. I'd love to come back.

I recently visited Jägerhaus in Esslingen and I’m delighted to give it a 5-star rating! The restaurant offers a stunning view from the terrace, which adds to the overall dining experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcome. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Each dish was full of flavor, making it a memorable meal. Additionally, the location is perfect for a relaxing day out, as it’s close to a scenic walking path through the forest. If you’re in the Esslingen area, I highly recommend visiting Jägerhaus. It’s the perfect spot for great food, excellent service, and a lovely ambiance.

Nice beer garden with a view of the Alb... good food, good portions and nice cellars

Nice outdoor terrace with a beautiful view over Esslingen! Lots of nature around! The food didn't convince us. Had schnitzel with fries and chanterelles with bread dumplings. Convenience food….unfortunately… The kids liked the raspberry spritzer… Waitress was very nice and friendly.

Wonderful atmosphere with a wonderful view over Esslingen. The service is usually very good and everything happens very quickly. The food is okay, nothing special but good value for money. I will definitely like to come back often.

Nice beer garden with a great view and nice staff.

Great view, nice staff, the reservation was confirmed immediately by email. Had the wild gulascj with spaetzle and it was very tasty.

We went to the Jägerhaus for coffee on Saturday, July 20th, 2024, which was pure disappointment! The coffee was a transparent liquid, the apple pie had a musty, old taste. The poppy seed cheesecake was solid and anything but tasty...any cake from a supermarket shelf would have been a delicacy in comparison.

Super nice staff, very nice view. Always my pleasure.

Everything was fine, only there was only one waitress, there were quite a lot of people and she simply physically did not have time to serve everyone. I had to wait, otherwise everything was fine, I recommend coming here to relax

Nice location, reasonable Swabian food and very friendly staff

The location alone speaks for itself. Fabulous! Food and service also top marks.

Ice cream and drinks great. Didn't eat here. Service very nice and accommodating. Would love to come back. View is beautiful. Free parking.

We were there for dinner with a group of 10 on a Wednesday evening. As soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted and escorted to our table. The service was consistently professional, friendly and courteous. As a starter I shared the Madagascar curry cream soup with my companion. The soup with the shrimp and the bread served was very tasty. For the main course I chose the sliced ​​wild boar and my companion chose the Steinbeisser fillet. Both were very good in terms of quality and taste. What we also noticed very positively was the acoustics of the large dining room. Despite the full tables, the volume was never high, which is why we were able to have a great conversation.

The surrounding area is very beautiful and a good starting point for hikes. We were a large group and wanted to make a reservation. We were told on the phone that there was a wedding at their place and therefore no reservation was possible. But the beer garden with kiosk and self-service would be open. We would be able to get a place there, but without a reservation. When we arrived the beer garden was closed. 🙄 Although we got seats on the terrace, we had to wait a little longer for drinks and food. But food was great. 👍

Good food and beautiful outdoor area

Good food, cold beer, great view of the Swabian Alb.

Very nice beer garden with a great view. Just had a little something here and it was very good. Dinner in the restaurant as unfortunately it started to rain. I had the filet tips hunter style, very good, especially the sauce was very tasty. I can only recommend it. The price is a little higher, but that is definitely justified. Overnight stay in the hotel, room clean and big enough. The only thing that bothered me a little was the light on the outside of the window, but that's just a minor thing. Underground parking can be used free of charge.

A great site. I loved the food, very tasty, very well served dishes and impeccable service. Every time I return to Esslingen I will go because it has surprised me.

Great location, great view on the terrace. The food isn't particularly great but it's not bad either, as is the dessert. You can eat it but it won't pick you up. Price performance a bit overpriced in my opinion.

Very nice view of Esslingen. Nice and professional service.

The ambience is unique! The service was a bit overwhelmed and took a long time, not just at our table. The food was really good. But if you ask a good price for a roast, then it should come as desired. Otherwise it's really okay

A classic in the Esslingen district. Always quite full. Food always consistently good. 👍

The Jägerhaus has stood in the same location for decades, as a hotel and excursion restaurant. Actually a top address back then. However, over the last few years the quality of the food has changed and unfortunately this is not to the advantage, average at best. You try to have fine dining, but you forget where you come from. Especially on hot days, I wished for an expanded and customized map. A pity!

The hotel and the restaurant are highly recommended. Very good food and always very good service

The food is good but expensive and it's almost a shame to sell a side salad for over €5! Very nice service staff, nicely decorated

Unfortunately the beer garden was closed even though I had discussed it over the phone beforehand. That was very annoying

Guest in the beer garden. Currywurst lukewarm. Don't cross fries. No card payment possible. View great.

Great food, nice and professional service. Gladly again

We were served very courteously and had to wait quite a while for the food. The game goulash with pear, cranberries and spaetzle is delicious. Only the spaetzle was cooked too soft for my taste. That's why I always use fried potatoes. But I'll ask if you could cook the spaetzle for a little less time. I can also highly recommend the salad with the Argentinian beef fillet tips. When the visibility is clear, the ambience is unsurpassed in this region. If you sit at the right table, you have a wonderful view of the Swabian Alb. Since I, as a Berliner, am used to slightly different prices, I would classify this restaurant as rather high-priced. That's why I don't eat there too often. But it's a pleasure every time.

Chef very sensitive to complaints about food. Became loud and quickly insulted, even though the complaint was presented objectively. Young staff were dressed down in front of guests. It doesn't work at all!

What particularly stands out here is not only the very good food, but also the extremely friendly and cheerful staff. It's very rare to find something like that.

Simply great and the prices were still acceptable because it tasted very good! Will come again.

This is a review for the beer garden. The restaurant itself is super tasty, the service is always friendly and the standard is high. I understand it all the less in the beer garden. The service seemed a bit stressed, so far okay on a sunny Sunday. Then I asked for the order twice because I had forgotten it, and that was ok too. Then, in return, when paying, people reacted quite annoyedly when they looked for change (ready to hand in 3 seconds). But the whole thing was topped by the fact that afterwards you had greasy handprints on your plate and the gentleman who collected the money also touched the food with his hand and served it. In my opinion, hygienically questionable. As a note again, the restaurant is great!

The food was good, the staff was very friendly but it seemed a bit overwhelmed, the wrong drink was brought, food was carried past the table and I didn't immediately know where to deliver it etc... probably a long day with lots of guests. The beautiful altitude with a view is of course great.

Very nice location near the Jägerhaus. Unfortunately, the staff was very inflexible when a customer wanted to sit in a coveted sunny spot and this area was not served. The food is rather average and the price/performance ratio doesn't match.

The supplement was replaced without comment. Unfortunately, the sauce was too salty and had lumps. Not okay for the steep price.

One of the most beautiful restaurants in the north of Esslingen.

Full recommendation! I was able to get to know this great restaurant while passing through Stuttgart. The location and the entire ambience are super nice and cozy. Many festivals and celebrations probably take place here. The service and the food are top notch, the salad was crisp and fresh, the dressing and the fried beef strips were top notch. I can recommend it to everyone, it is worth a trip.

I ate the Swabian plate - pork loin in mushroom sauce with spaetzle... 21 euros without salad decoration or side dish... no, the spaetzle were not worth the money... the staff were super friendly, but unfortunately they included the "surprise dessert." My husband forgot...he didn't feel like complaining, things like that are always annoying. What was definitely positive was the friendly staff and the fast service as well as the beautiful view

Very attentive and friendly staff. Cozy and very tasty food

Were amazed! The food was amazing and the service was great. For our little one there were pens and a coloring book 😊. We will definitely come back.

Priced higher, but not out of the ordinary. That means the quality is really good and so is the service. The menu is small and the dishes sit well; That's how it should be. It makes sense to reserve a seat as it is actually always quite full.

Very friendly, an ideal place for lunch before or after a good walk in the forest.

Nice and tasty but it's like playing the lottery when it comes to service... sometimes there's a surprise and sometimes it's just stupid.

Simply always worth a stop. No matter whether by convertible or e-bike. Always friendly staff 👍😊

Very good food, professional and friendly staff 👍🏼

Overall, a good restaurant with good and attentive service. The quality of the food is good and it has a good price-performance ratio. The Jägerhaus is a popular excursion and walking destination in Esslingen at a high altitude with some beautiful views of the Neckar Valley. On nice summer days the beer garden is very full. The service is then quickly overwhelmed. No drinks menu is given out, you have to ask for everything. Unfortunately the coffee was only lukewarm. The beer mug had a big crack. All little things that add up a bit, but still recommended.

Totally unfriendly welcome First of all, all the employees pull a face, it's not a nice atmosphere Was initially ignored at the bar I wanted to order something to take away "No, that's not possible, you have to get a table outside and order from a colleague there" There were 5-6MA present indoors Apparently an MA has been canceled and everyone is stressed, I was told It's a shame, customer-oriented service works differently A "friendly warm Welcome, what can I do for you? That would be the beginning

Very good food, nice service and a beautiful view of the countryside. There is also a small playground and enough space for children.

Very nice atmosphere, food was great, staff was friendly, perfect!

You politely ask if you could sit at a shady table………no Thanks for the conversation and goodbye

Nice garden to stop off after cycling or hiking. Simple but good food. Delicious cakes and a great view of the Neckar Valley

Great view. Very good food. Come back.

Very tasty food and friendly, attentive service. Even on busy days (Easter Monday) you don't have to wait long for drinks and food. Our onion roasts came as ordered (medium rare and medium), not every kitchen can do that 😉

Incredibly delicious, friendly and relaxed. The food is not cheap, but it is also far from expensive. There are great and very inexpensive menus for children. An absolute recommendation!!!

Nice restaurant with a great view of Esslingen. Very attentive service and good food.

As always, very tasty food, all requests for changes are met with a sincere smile. The service is great, always happy again! Price performance is also good. Dogs are also always welcome.

We were outside the city in the restaurant of a very nice, cozy hotel. It is both ancient and modern. Price-value ratio: very, very worth it! Decorative and clean. The staff is kind and attentive. I can't write about the toilets because we didn't use them, but I assume they are clean there too. It is family and child-friendly and easily accessible for the disabled. If the weather is nice, we will eat on the terrace and we won't miss dessert either. ❤️

Overpriced! Little food, mediocre quality. Location very good.

Always good food. Is one of the few viable restaurants in Esslingen.

Great hotel and restaurant. Overnight stay and breakfast great. Staff super nice. The beer garden is a dream in summer. You can feel comfortable inside and eat very tasty food. Highly Recommended

Great anniversary meal. Wild goulash

We had dinner there today and had the special meal Wild Goulash, followed by an apple strudel. The goulash was very tasty, the apple strudel tasted good, but the consistency was too thick for us and had something rubbery. Despite all this, five stars for the food and the attentive and friendly service. Unfortunately, the beer brands Dinkelacker and Sanwald are not on a par with the food; beers from the local Schönbuch brewery, for example, taste much better, hence only four stars. Reservations are recommended, the restaurant was completely full on a Wednesday lunchtime.

Very nicely located restaurant with a great view! The dishes are very tasty and freshly prepared. The service is also top and takes care very well. Cozy, clean and well-kept atmosphere to feel good. There are also options for staying overnight, which we didn't use because we only went on a short day trip. We would love to come back for dinner and to enjoy a short break from everyday life.

Stopped there for the first time yesterday to celebrate a 70th birthday. In the older part there is a rustic and romantic atmosphere. The “extensions” are more open and modern, but not uncomfortable. The service was super friendly and incredibly on point. The wine recommendation was 100% suitable for both my choice of food and my taste. The menu is clearly regional with some modern components. Plus daily recommendations on the board and activities. My decision yesterday was an aperitif, a non-alcoholic cocktail with raspberry juice, tonic water and pomegranate components. A hammer. As a starter, baked goat cheese with a bed of lettuce and sweet chutney. The second hammer and madness was the main course. A Zurich Geschnetzeltes with herbed mushrooms. At first I was worried that they would be too herbal, but the combination is absolute madness. The veal was perfect, not a bit too dry or even overcooked. I chose Rösti for this. I told the service that if the Rösti had been homemade, I would have given it 11/10. The wine list is well stocked with mostly local wines. But also other delicacies like my Cabernet Savignon 2019 from Navarra. The price-performance ratio and the quality are absolutely insane. It's definitely not the last time I've been here.

Wir lieben diesen Ort. Der Blick ins Tal ist toll. Das Essen ist sehr gut, das Personal immer freundlich und zuvorkommend. Reservierung ist angeraten.
