Restaurant Kartoffelsack in Alsfeld

I grudgingly gave it 4 stars because we were in vacation mode. The older waitress couldn't really bring herself to say kind words or smile. The presumed daughter, however, was very friendly. The food, for me steak with bacon and mashed potatoes, was good. However, the steak was too dry. Ambience: Way too much light! LED lights that were on the table were not turned on at all, but would probably have been sufficient without ceiling lights. Take it as a kind hint. Everyone has a bad day sometimes. Make something of it. Best regards

We were there with a group of 8 people. The atmosphere is old-fashioned, at least in the back of the restaurant. But the service was attentive and very nice. The food was consistently very tasty. Would definitely come again

Nice shop, great location. Food was good, large selection of spirits. It's easy to go there. Top

Super delicious food!! Nice waitresses!! And it went really quickly, even though the store was full... We'll be back!

Today we had a delicious feast Champion Rahm Schnitzel Kumbi Vegetarian Potato Gratin mmmh Hot, delivered quickly, we'd love to come here, keep it up and enjoy a delicious Coca Cola and Weiten beer

Great location, great service and very tasty food at reasonable prices. Would love to come back...

No foil... baked potato available..in the potato specialties restaurant :( Upscale price e

Extra requests are gladly and very well implemented here

Very nice location. The food tasted very good. The service was very friendly. Great value for money. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food. Very friendly service. Discovered while walking. Only recommended.

Super delicious food, all freshly prepared. Very nice staff. Can only recommend it.

On the way south, five of us visited the potato sack. We all chose quite different dishes. Both the baked potato and the gnocchi as well as the potato gratin, the potato meatballs and the salad were all very tasty. We all also really enjoyed the cellar beer and the apple cider. Service was also good. The potato sack is a clear recommendation for anyone who ends up in Alsfeld and craves potato dishes

Very nice restaurant. At first I just wanted a potato beer because the rain put a damper on my plans to explore the old town. Then it became more 😎 Next time you stop in Alsfeld, we’ll be happy to do it again!

Quaint restaurant with good food

Very nice location. The service was very friendly, even after 7 hours of work. We could tell the girl liked doing it. The food was really tasty. I had steak, my wife had rösti with salmon and salad. The potato sack beer is very drinkable, the espresso is small, strong, black and hot. Clear recommendation for further visits.

Spännande koncept med potatis i alla rätter. Vi valde spätzle med ost o potatis o bakad potatis med grönsaker. Bägge rätterna var goda. Väl värt att svänga av autobahn!

That was absolutely delicious. The Alsfeld pan with a 270g pork neck steak with homemade mashed potatoes, braised onions with lots of delicious bacon cubes was an absolute culinary delight. Top seasoned. According to the owner, who was an excellent host, there was a naturally cloudy cellar beer made especially for the restaurant from a Duisburg brewery. Yummy friends. We will definitely be happy to come back at Christmas for mulled wine and all the rest. The entire staff also did a great job. The village bull and the woman from the LDK say thank you🎉🖖🎊

A nice place in the old town. The tables are placed on a platform, so access with a wheelchair is difficult. The broth we ordered was of little essence, served with grated carrot and dumplings, probably made from groats, the soup had little seasoning, but that's a matter of taste. Personally, I think that it is not associated with the broths we are used to and I would not recommend it. Secondly, beef steak - medium rare, with fries and a mini salad. The fried fries smelled nice, but the steak... hmmm... the meat was dry and hard, tasteless, with a rubbery consistency. Bad part and he hasn't rested yet. I don't recommend it.

Really good food, visit this place

Unfortunately the kitchen was already closed at 6:30 p.m. Well, the Italian restaurant was pleased. It was full and guests had to be put off until later. So there would be demand.

Delicious potato beer 🍻👌my wife had sweet potato fries very tasty.

Was recommended but unfortunately the food was not the best. Only 1 out of 4 people were satisfied.

The owner family is a fantastic host. I can only express myself with praise.

Very tasty baked potato, and I couldn't finish a very large portion.

A super restaurant in the city of Alsfeld, right in the center, and the prices are extremely affordable.

Very good, tasty food. Nice service. Great atmosphere when you sit outside.

Very nicely located between half-timbered houses and the church. We sat outside and it was very quiet. The menu offers everything a potato heart desires. The portions are large and it tastes really tasty. The staff is very friendly and quick. That was definitely worth it.

Incredibly beautiful restaurant. Found by chance while passing through. Very, very nice staff and the food is amazing. A must go if you are nearby. Thank you very much for a great evening.

We visited the restaurant during a trip. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty. The salad was excellent, garnished with berries, physalis and pomegranate, great. There are enough vegetarian dishes. 100% recommendation

Discovered by chance, checked reviews and found them to be correct. Great food, super nice and friendly staff, will come back when we are nearby

The service was very good! Attentive and very friendly staff. I ordered Kumpir with grilled vegetables, sheep's cheese and herb butter. I have rarely eaten such a delicious potato dish! This was not only a feast for the taste buds but also for the eyes! Kind regards to the chef!

Delicious potato dishes, very friendly and attentive service, great atmosphere in the old town of Alsfeld. Highly recommended!

Nice restaurant at the historic church. Were very impressed by the delicious food, nice atmosphere and the very friendly staff and hosts. Were passing through and thought it was great! Any time!

A MasterChef culinary experience, both enjoyable, very kind staff and attentive to details, I recommend the pork ribs in spicy sauce. I recommend, I think it's one of the best restaurants.

A wonderful restaurant in the middle of the old town. Potatoes in all variations. The side salad with balsamic dressing was very appealing, decorated with blueberries and raspberries. The “Alsfelder Paving Stones” served in the pan with fried potatoes and fresh vegetables. The meat is very good and the vegetables are perfectly al dente! The service attentive and efficient. Kitchen from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and slightly beyond.

Great, friendly and very attentive service staff. Salad with turkey breast strips was very tasty, the potato cheese spaetzle with fried onions was a dream. When the weather is nice, sitting outside in the historic city center is almost priceless. Prices are more than fair for the overall package offered. Unfortunately too far away to stop by🙈

Very nice service, food also very tasty. I can definitely recommend it.

Great restaurant with good food and a nice atmosphere, we really enjoyed it. Gladly again!

08/14/24, 2 people ate. 1 time Rösti with salmon and salad. This was well prepared and tasty too. 1x cream schnitzel with fries and a side salad. It wasn't clear whether the meat was in a pan or a deep fryer; it was very hard in consistency. The cream sauce was a ready-made sauce from the bag. Fries, well, that's how it went. Only the side salad for 5.50 euros was okay. Summary, one dish was ok, the second dish wasn't tasty. Conditions very attentive and also friendly.

Good home cooking is really recommended. The menu is taken out and the service is friendly and "on the ball". We sat outside on a warm summer evening. The only thing that was annoying was that other guests were listening loudly to videos and even making video calls. That seems to be “normal” there.

Went here for dinner today and were skeptical based on some of the reviews. But we were very satisfied, the service was friendly and the food tasted very good.

Overall nice and friendly staff. Food came quickly. Portion filled me up. Unfortunately, both the salad and the spare ribs were far too sweet. Otherwise everything was clean and tidy.

Very tasty food. The waiter was the nicest waiter I've ever seen.

Everything was very tasty and very friendly and courteous service. Prices are reasonable, especially for the daily meal! Also nice location, right next to the town hall.

Our first time in the potato sack and we were really pleasantly surprised. A more than attentive service, all of our wishes were fulfilled and our satisfaction was asked several times. Despite the full house, they always found time for us. The portions (cheese spaetzle) and salad were very large. The salad is fresh and garnished with fruit. We will definitely come back on our next trip.

You should take a break here, very tasty

Good food, nice ambience in the old town of Alsfeld. The service is attentive.

at the time of the Old Town Festival 2024; Staff is unfriendly, incompetent, overwhelmed, overloaded, stroppy. Instead of taking action, unnecessary discussions take place.

Good food in good company and with good service.

The food was delicious but the way the owner and his wife treated the waiting staff was downright degrading. Those poor girls were abused several times by them in front of the entire terrace. The arrogant man raised his voice several times and the run-down woman also humiliated the ladies at our table. Never again!

Very tasty, fresh food, portions could be even smaller and it would still be enough!

Everything perfect. Was very positively surprised. The menu is manageable and every dish is absolutely perfect. I really can't complain about anything, one of the few absolutely deserved 5 out of 5 stars.

Great food! It's worth a visit at any time!

Portions could be smaller. It's a shame to throw food away... 🫣 Tasty and polite service.

Great, freshly prepared food, very tasty, large portions, especially lots of salad. I have rarely eaten such good Rösti. We recommend!!

Just a detour on the way to a concert. Very nice staff. The food was super tasty and beautifully prepared. Really recommended. We'll be back, also to visit the city.

Very nice outdoor area, located close to the market square. Attractive menu with large and small dishes and very friendly service. The potato gratin was delicious and I enjoyed spending a while there with my dog, who was immediately provided with water, after a long tour of the city.

Wie auf der Hinreise in den Urlaub, hatten wir uns auch auf der Rückreise entschlossen hier einzukehren. Wir wurden nicht enttäuscht. Idyllisch im Herzen der Stadt gelegen (Parkplätze sind im Umfeld da) gab es sehr gutes Essen zu einem guten Preis. Mein Favorit: die Kartoffelsuppe & der Salat.

Well-prepared traditional food and very nice service. No children's menu but the option to order half a course for the children, schnitzel and fries were appreciated! Excellent outdoor seating right behind the main square with both sun and shade. Fresh toilets.

Very nice stop for lunch. Our waiter Alex was so friendly and helpful! One of the best waiters I had. Overall was a good decision to visit Alsfeld!

We ended up in a potato sack by chance - we've rarely eaten so well! Then go there twice more. Delicious!

Really-really tasty potato dishes! And great service too 👌

If you are in Alsfeld, you should eat here at least once. Since we had already been there twice in a group, we were able to try things out a bit and highly recommend the food. Service very nice and accommodating.

Very tasty dishes and very tasty and fresh salad. There is also something for children. Service was very friendly (also child-friendly) and quick.

We had the Alsfeld paving stones. The meat was juicy, as it should be, the fried potatoes were crispy and the vegetables had a bite, which I personally prefer. The service was good, but could use a little more eye-opening. Other than that, I can't say anything negative. The outdoor area is slightly sloping, but this doesn't affect the ambience at all - quite the opposite. It has old town charm

Wonderful ambience, very friendly service, delicious food (only half was served - the other was taken away) and great value for money

Very unfriendly service, despite registering with a small menu for 25 people, we had to wait 90 minutes for the food. After asking why it was taking so long, we were told off in an unfriendly manner that there were more guests. The restaurant is absolutely not recommended!!!

As a travel group of 24 people, we only received our food after 1.5 hours of waiting, despite pre-ordering. Pork loin was tough and dry. The arugula crunched when chewed. Service boss extremely unfriendly.

We were traveling through in a coach with 24 people. DESPITE ordering the dishes in advance via email/phone, we had to wait a very long time for the food (1.5 hours). After all, all the dishes were served at the same time. The staff subsequently apologized for the waiting time. Eat: Schnitzel was good, salads were crisp, fresh and attractively presented, paving stones (pork fillet) were overcooked and very hard.

Tour group 24 people Sitting outside, very drafty Waiting time 1 1/2 hours despite pre-ordering the dishes. Food was OK Service was slightly overwhelmed by the size of our group

Group (20) reserved and pre-ordered food Unfortunately after an hour still no food. We still wait Still nothing I do not recommend this restaurant After the food arrived after almost 1.5 hours, I adjusted the review.

A very great restaurant. Overall, very, very tasty food. Also a great location with perfect staff. Greetings to the owner! Keep it up. We'll be back with pleasure!

Very good food and very friendly staff, gladly again

Went to Alsfeld for a weekend, ate very well and watched football outside, very good service, good prices, everything was great, highly recommended 👍

On the way through we ended up in Alsfeld and had an excellent meal in the potato sack. Very friendly and attentive service. Highly Recommended!

I sat outside for the public viewing. Friendly and attentive service. The beer and the salad plate tasted good and were nicely presented. Recommended!

We have been here several times and are always very satisfied. It just takes a little longer if all the tables are occupied, that's normal. My special requests are always taken into account. I have always found the staff to be friendly, despite the stress.

Very nice restaurant on the main square. My meat with onion and bacon was supreme

We sat inside. There was no choosing a table. Despite many empty tables. There was a lot of traffic because there are two entrances. Very uncomfortable. I wouldn't have chosen this place. The food tasted very good. The pork fillet was fried a little too long. After our meal we would have liked to order another round of our drinks. Unfortunately there was no service to be found. Not even outside. When we finally saw a waitress, we just wanted to pay. It is now apparently common practice to show the amount to be paid on a cell phone. No question whether we want proof. ☹️😵‍💫😠

A strong and very friendly team with very good food and a great atmosphere to watch the football game — I'll be happy to come back!

It was really delicious and nice, the service was super nice and the owner of the restaurant was also really friendly. Good conversations and delicious food. Thanks for the lovely evening, we'll be back.

Very good food with a nice location right at the foot of the church

Friendly staff Really good food, big portions Zemo aus Schweden

Very cozy atmosphere, nice staff and good food.

The location in the historic old town of Alsfeld is appealing. The staff is friendly but doesn't seem very competent. The food. Alsfelder Pfanne: neck steak okay, far too many bacon cubes, the mashed potatoes were okay but I can't define what was in it. Onion schnitzel, the fries and the onions were okay, the schnitzel was good snack quality. Salmon, the vegetables were crunchy but not very seasoned and the salmon was overcooked and very dry. Conclusion: there are definitely better restaurants. Small note, the people at the next table weren't very happy with the food either.

A great evening, the barbecue was great, fast friendly service and great music. We will be back definitely.

Have been to the potato sack several times. Food and service always top. The boss is very nice and it's easy to talk to him. The changing menus in particular deserve praise. This way it won't be boring. Keep it up !

Food great, service great... successful evening

When we visited, the cuisine didn't really suit our taste. Can you say it like that? Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews that confirmed this until afterwards.

Great food and great service! I can recommend it!

We were in Alsfeld for 4 days and dined there every day. The food was very appealing, tasty, the price was reasonable and the staff was friendly and attentive. Highly Recommended!

Ich war mit dem Fahrrad auf der Durchreise und habe hier richtig lecker gegessen, die Kartoffelfrikadellen mit Madeirajus und der Beilagensalat mit Schmanddressing sahen auch optisch sehr gut aus. Der junge Kellner war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Nicht so gut emfpand ich den Chef, er wirkte sehr hektisch und hat den jungen Kellner ständig angewiesen. Kommt für meine Begriffe vor den Gästen nicht so gut. Aufgrund der guten Küche empfehlenswert.

The food was good. The service too. The ambience is average and the prices are reasonable.

She friendly staff and even got a place without a reservation. Very good food. We'd love to come back

We come from Freiburg and happened to notice the potato sack restaurant while driving through. I was completely satisfied! We received a very warm welcome, the food arrived quickly and was simply top quality! The portions are very sufficient and the two of us only paid €44 for a main course and a drink. If we are near here again at some point, we will definitely come back. Thank you for the great stay! ☺️

Great ambience, great food and great hosts. I can only warmly recommend it.

I was back in a potato sack for the first time in almost 20 years and was extremely negatively surprised. Unfortunately the food was very bad. The pork medallions that came with the asparagus dish on the seasonal menu were definitely not fresh: the taste and smell were subterranean! We addressed the problem directly in the restaurant - the waitress apologized and brought a coffee, which, however, does not begin to compensate for the price of ~27 € for lunch. The medallions were not refunded nor were new ones offered. At the table next to us there was also a complaint about another dish (potato gratin), which suggests that it was unfortunately no exception. At least the atmosphere is like it was 20 years ago. In addition, only cash payment was possible - I can't say whether that was a temporary problem, but it led to additional annoyance.

It was my first time in the potato sack and I was disappointed. I had asparagus with potatoes, hollandaise sauce and ham. The asparagus and potatoes had no taste, the sauce was a packet sauce that was mixed with lumps. The ham came from the discounter pack (guess: round and pressed). All in all not tasty and at over €20 much too expensive. The restaurant cannot be recommended. Addition after the owner's answer: Unfortunately, the statement that I said before the restaurant that I enjoyed the food is not true. This statement is wrong and it is a great shame that such a measure is resorted to in the event of a bad review. We didn't let the food go back, we didn't finish it and informed the service about our experience. We also paid the full price for the meal. As guests, we behaved very fairly, so we are allowed to give an honest review. I rarely give bad reviews (only when they are justified) as you can see from my profile. As a customer, I don't feel valued, especially because of the reaction to my review. I rejected the cappuccino mentioned in the first question. After asking again, I accepted it. The intent of the reaction seems to be to erase the recession or make it look false. It would be better to put this energy into improving the quality of the food. The people who give similar reviews here would certainly be happy about that too. I would be happy to come back to the potato sack to get the price of the meal refunded (a total of €57.20 for two meals). I would also be pleased to receive a personal apology for the accusation of incorrect statements in the answer to my review.

Delicious food, served quickly and at a reasonable price.

Nice outdoor area in the middle of the old town.
