Restaurant Rapen in Oer-Erkenschwick

Very nice beer garden, friendly, fast service, and truly fantastic schnitzel. While none of us could manage to open the huge machines, the quality doesn't suffer at all due to its size. One of the best schnitzel in the area, in my opinion. The croquettes are delicious, the mushroom cream sauce could be improved a bit, and the salad bar is simple but functional. You don't come for the salad, that much is clear. We'll definitely be back!

The food was delicious and the staff was super nice

We felt completely at home in the house! Everything was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. The amenities left nothing to be desired – from the cozy furnishings to the modern kitchen, everything was there. We particularly appreciated the quiet location and the beautiful outdoor area, perfect for relaxing. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, which made our stay even more pleasant. We would love to come back and can highly recommend the house!

The best service with the best food!

Very good restaurant, very attentive and friendly staff. Very tasty food.

We went to the barbecue buffet, which was delicious as always. The staff was very friendly, and everyone seemed to know each other for a long time. We'd be happy to go back. 😋😊👍

Highly recommended. We've eaten there several times now and have always been satisfied.

Very pleasant atmosphere, great beer garden, generous portions at a fair price. Very good quality.

Very good, home-style cooking and generous portions!

Super delicious food and very friendly service, always with a friendly smile. We'd be happy to come back.

There were five of us. We had an all-you-can-eat grill. The food was good. We reordered three steaks and one chicken skewer with rice. We had to ask three times and listen to awful comments from the manager. The same thing happened with the three Julichkas. We asked three times.

Very good restaurant, huge schnitzel, and especially the all-you-can-eat menu. Nice beer garden. Attentive staff. It was again very tasty.

Highly recommended! We were in the beer garden and opted for the grill buffet. It was simply fantastic and very, very tasty. The selected meat is served fresh and hot. There are plenty of side dishes to go with it.

Highly recommended. Four generations of us ate there. Everyone was happy. The food was more than sufficient, and we took the leftovers home with us without any problems. Great, would definitely go back 👍

A super delicious grill buffet for a more than fair price. Good meat, tasty sauces, and plenty of side dishes. The servers are consistently friendly and cheerful. However, empty glasses and plates could be cleared away a bit more quickly, rather than taking two hours. Nevertheless, we'd happily come back because it was definitely worth it.

A fantastic restaurant, the food is simply amazing. Anyone who says they weren't full is definitely lying. Despite the huge volume of food, the service is very friendly and fast. We will definitely eat there again. Simply fantastic.

We visited on the weekend after a long absence. Friendly service***Very tasty food***Good value for money

Highly recommended! The food is great and always tasty; the portions are so large that we almost always take the leftovers home with us. The staff is fantastic, always friendly, and up for a laugh. I always enjoy coming here, even if the drive takes a little longer. It's worth it!

Simply fantastic! For me, everything about this restaurant is just perfect. Huge portions, incredibly delicious, very friendly staff, and the prices are more than fair. I always enjoy going there.

Has nothing to do with an all you can eat buffet

Simply MEGA! 1+* value for money! Of course, good prices, but also something honest and delicious on the plate! Other restaurants could, or rather, should, learn a thing or two from this. Good and friendly service. Schnitzel XXXL and simply delicious! You can help yourself to the salad beforehand, and if you can still fit something in at the end, you'll get a free pudding! Don't worry: If you can't finish everything, you'll get packing materials 👍🏽 We'd definitely be back!

Good, home-style lunch in a lovely beer garden.

A fantastic atmosphere, great food that's full for everyone, and super friendly staff. 🙏🏻👍🏻🫶🏻

We had dinner at the Rapen restaurant today, and we were not disappointed. Despite being very busy with many reservations, they still found a table for us. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was of excellent quality and left nothing to be desired. We really enjoyed it, and this won't be the last time we go there. Thank you very much!

VERY GOOD TODAY ON 9.7 AGAIN VERY GOOD THANKS MILO

Very good and very friendly. You just have to wait a bit longer for your food.

Very nice staff and great food!

Always a special experience. The food is always delicious and the staff is always friendly. Service is still a top priority here. The staff are always up for a laugh and always have a witty joke.

Very nice restaurant, great beer garden, delicious food. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend it. Very tasty 😋

Value for money: Excellent We opted for the barbecue buffet for €18.90. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly and service-oriented. The food was delicious, and the restaurant was very busy. Luckily, we had made a reservation. The barbecue buffet was preceded by a salad buffet, which you could help yourself to. You can choose the grilled meat from the grill master, and it will then be served to you on a platter. They also serve grilled vegetables and a type of tomato rice. This place is worth a visit.

As a schnitzel lover, I chose the pepper schnitzel from the menu. Expecting a regular schnitzel, I received a flattened schnitzel that took up the entire plate. The dimensions of the schnitzel served weren't very appealing to me. The approximately 35 x 25 cm size bears little resemblance to any schnitzel I'm used to. The approximately 2 mm thick schnitzel was coated in breadcrumbs on both sides, so the meat flavor couldn't come through. Some restaurant patrons may like that, but it's not my cup of tea. This oversized schnitzel was almost impossible to finish, so we saw many restaurant patrons having their leftovers packed up. My suggestion: more reasonable portions, perhaps schnitzels of the usual size and thickness, and one or two euros cheaper.

We think it's great that you can also sit outside. €7

What can I say about this place? We ate from the buffet. Unfortunately, the meat was overcooked and half raw (bloody). The fries weren't the best either. The only thing you could eat was the vegetables and rice. But the worst part was, unfortunately, the service. The lady was downright rude and insulting. That was our first and last time.

We went to eat with 10 people, and everything was great even though it was very busy. We can highly recommend the Rapen restaurant.

Yes, I can recommend Restaurant Rapen. Delicious food, reasonable prices, friendly staff

We're always impressed by this restaurant, which offers incredibly good food, excellent value for money, and a very friendly and lively team! We can only highly recommend this restaurant!

Super delicious food at a great price. And super friendly staff.

Very nice restaurant, service was super nice and friendly, the food was delicious, the schnitzel was huge but you could pack it to take away. We'll definitely be back.

Highly recommended. We had asparagus once with ham and once with schnitzel. If you order the schnitzel, you have to be very hungry. The schnitzels are very good, but also very large. Either way, it tasted great.

Delicious food, friendly service. You can sit inside or outside. The all-you-can-eat grill with side dishes for €22.50 was quite tasty. Everything is freshly prepared. You can add a salad to your dishes for free.

Always worth a visit. Delicious food.

Still a highly recommended spot with a lovely beer garden. They currently grill outside every day. A large selection of dishes and very attentive hosts. It's also ideal for larger groups.

Perfect landing! From the Starlight Express to the Rapen Restaurant! Nice large outdoor area to sit. We were looking for a nice end to the day. Found here! Food was great, with a fresh salad buffet. A small dessert is also included. Staff very friendly, everything very clean! Portions plentiful. The sanitary facilities are also great.

Thanks for the great team evening! Service and food top! Sporty greetings from Wanne-Eickel

Portions that you almost can't finish. However, this is of good quality with the best price/performance ratio. Daily changing lunch menu rounds off the daily offering.

Very tasty, always happy! Price, performance still good 👍 👌very courteous staff just always great👍👍👍

Felt even better today than before

We always like to come here to eat - cozy atmosphere - friendly service - and of course good food - it's a shame that the dog can't come with us anymore

Fast service and very nice. Unfortunately the food didn't convince me, Meat was dry, fries could be better and the gypsy sauce was supper The salad buffet was a little bland Tomatoes were cut way too big

The food was as always, very tasty and a lot. The service is great and super friendly.

A really very nice Balkan restaurant. Everything on the menu is super delicious. The service is attentive. The price/performance ratio is right. Any time. 😅The schnitzels are huge. 😂

Great service, very attentive and super friendly. Delicious food. Schnitzel is a real treat, only there are the best schnitzels in the area. Great ambience. Very nice rustic and modern in one combination. Truly a very nice evening, I would love to come back with my family. And very child-friendly, especially worth mentioning.

I really can't say anything negative

Great restaurant, great food, simply super tasty, I can't find anything where I would give any criticism! Staff are funny, always have a funny saying up their sleeve.... :)))) I have never experienced what you get there! Would recommend the restaurant to everyone Portions are so big that you can hardly manage it Price-performance ratio is simply TOP!!!! Come back soon :)))

We have been here for the 4th time and will be back Reservation is an advantage

From the greeting to the meal and the farewell, it was a successful meal. It tasted very good and the portions were huge. The price, on the other hand, was extremely good for the performance. Absolute recommendation 👍

A real pilgrimage site for schnitzel fans. There are various delicious giant schnitzels. The other dishes are also good. Always happy.

Highly recommended. There was already a martini on the table for us at the reception. Good home cooking. The schnitzel was so big that two people could actually eat it. I didn't manage to finish it, even though it was delicious. The fried potatoes were also crispy and well seasoned. For dessert there was a chocolate pudding. It was so delicious that I even ate my partner's. Dessert is always possible :-)

Balkan restaurant for people with extreme hunger. Very nice and friendly staff.

Delicious snitzel salad and delicious dessert!!!

The restaurant was recommended to me by a work colleague and it was really successful. Here you get a decent amount for your money. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel and it was very tasty. There's really nothing wrong with it. A free pudding as dessert and schnapps. I will definitely come back!

The schnitzels are simply huge and were very tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the visit pleasant. However, the environment was very loud. Overall, the price-performance ratio was okay. I'd love to come back!

Top shop. Very tasty 😋. Great atmosphere. Top quality. Very nice staff. We'll definitely be back. Rating recommended. The funny Bosniak is particularly recommended. And there is always a schnapps beforehand and a dessert on the house. And the schnitzels are gigantic (seen at the neighboring table will try them next time)

Super tasty, super friendly. Huge schnitzel!

Good, substantial lunch menu. Reasonable price, friendly service.

Good home-style restaurant, nothing special, schnitzels are big but with a dollop of sauce. The furnishings are more like the 90s and the store is very large. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Food is good. Prices are ok too.

We were there again today, the boss was friendly and funny as always, the schnitzel was rich and tasty as always. See you next time

Nice staff. Delicious food. Very nice beer garden with all you can eat barbecue in summer.

The best in the Recklinghausen district

I can't understand the good reviews... What is it… the few restaurants in O-E or the big schnitzels? . It was now another attempt to eat there after a long time... but now it was finally the last one. Salt and pepper are not the most expensive spices... Unfortunately, the food lacks any form of spices... No matter whether it's meat, vegetables or fries... everything is characterized by a loveless taste neutrality... it doesn't taste like anything! And the vegetables are still so crunchy that you wonder whether they have even touched the water in the cooking pot or are they raw. And the ambience... if several tables are occupied, you can no longer understand what the other person is saying...

Everything is just right here, prices, service, ambience is good 👍 only the portions are too big. But you have the option to take the rest of the food with you. Therefore a total of 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Only to be recommended. Super tasty food, large portions, very fair prices, fast service. All in all very very good 👍

The food is very good. Large portions and very tasty 😋

Very tasty, whether for lunch or dinner.

Very nice staff and the food was delicious 😋

If you want to eat a lot, this is the place for you. The portions are simply too big. Sometimes less is more.

Good food, nice staff, always happy for lunch! But also very good with food!

Nice staff and very good cuisine with large portions

Anyone who is hungry will be well served here. The old restaurant is super modern and inviting. Everyone gets more than enough and the prices have been top for years

Hello, we decided on schnitzel dishes today and we are all satisfied. The schnitzels are delicious and really big. The Jäger-Style sauce and the Cordon Bleu are recommended. The service staff is friendly and attentive. Thank you very much, we'll be happy to come back...

This restaurant is a standout place 🍴 Been there for the first time. Were there with seven people and everyone got their food at the same time. All respect ⚠️ although very well attended. Have already been welcomed with a warm welcome 😂 The service was also great. Laughed a lot. The food tasted very good and there was even a small dessert. I've never seen a restaurant where you get a dessert for free. Been mega. We'd love to come back soon.

Highly recommended. The food is great. Price-performance ratio still fits here. The staff is very friendly, quick and very professional.

We've been eating there for years and it's always excellent. Super friendly staff, delicious food and great service.

Nice restaurant. Large selection of food and a good lunch menu. You sit comfortably and the service is very friendly. Come again...

Price performance, quality and service great. Unfortunately you cannot take a dog with you.

Just great! Delicious, varied range of dishes; Super friendly, appreciative service; Nice ambience - and the beer garden is great 😍

Unchanged... Absolutely recommended 👍🏼 Very, very friendly service and very tasty food at reasonable prices, including salad from the buffet and dessert. Great beer garden with a cozy atmosphere.

Performance & price ✅ - it couldn't be better & I've never been disappointed here. Plates are XXL in size & the staff + owners simply complete the restaurant experience.🙏

Recommended. Great price-performance ratio

We had a meal there from the company. And it was my first time there, I can only recommend this restaurant and the delicious and rich food. So a visit to the delicious restaurant deserves more than 5 stars. Great ambience. Keep it up.

Very nice restaurant. The portions are just right and very tasty.

Had a very nice meal with friends today. We all really enjoyed it.

Still the best restaurant in the city and surrounding area. If you haven't been here yet, you've definitely missed something.

Super tasty food.very nice staff

An absolute highlight! The food was excellent - fresh, tasteful and prepared with great attention to detail. The service was attentive, friendly and listened to our every need. The atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening. We will definitely be back and can highly recommend it!

Very large portions, fast service, unfortunately the salad bar is not appealing

Well, what can I say??? Anyone expecting a 4 star restaurant will be disappointed!!! For such unsurpassed food, coupled with a 100% courteous and friendly staff in all respects, it deserves at least one more star!!!!!! I'm always thrilled!!!!! Milo is just great!!!!!!Keep it up, we'll always be happy to come back to you!!!!

Looks good restaurant, the food is unique. The service is unparalleled... simply great

Huge portions, really tasty. Price/performance great. Salad buffet and dessert included in the price and very tasty. The chocolate pudding is great. Very friendly service and incredibly nice boss. Great portions. You feel welcome and comfortable! The best that Oer-Erkenschwick has to offer.
