Restaurant Zum Ankerplatz in Datteln

The food is super tasty and definitely inexpensive, but the drinks prices are an absolute disgrace in my opinion.

Not my thing, but... Everyone has different tastes :)

Quaint! Maritime country inn is somehow contradictory but likeable. The beer garden is cozy, the service is friendly, the service is exceptionally positive...

On the occasion of our family celebration, we chose the restaurant “Zum Ankerplatz”. Our expectations were exceeded. Friendly and attentive service. The food is tastefully prepared for both the eye and the palate. The ambience appropriate. We can highly recommend the restaurant. Thank you

A good selection of dishes for lunch at fair prices.

Had a small family celebration on Saturday. The food on every plate was beyond excellent and the dessert was the cherry on top. The service was very polite and the entire process was perfect.

The schnitzels are simply delicious. We'll definitely be back.

Been there several times. The food was always very good, great value for money, friendly service. Will come back!

As always, great food, large selection, great service, can only be recommended

Good restaurant... Especially great in summer with the beer garden

This is a restaurant that I can recommend. The food was a dream. Staff very friendly and accommodating. 👍👍👍👍👍.

Perfect fillet steak! Everyone else in our family of 12 was thrilled too!

Nice garden restaurant. Very nice for bikers. Enjoy your meal. Unfortunately, when guests order mineral water, they are sold cheap sparkling tap water in unsealed glass bottles at completely inflated prices. Anyone who only gets tap water should be informed about this and also pay the corresponding price. This is the only way to keep and get guests. Regarding your statement: I ordered mineral water and was not informed by the waiter that the water served was cheap tap water (liter 2 cents). So I was deceived. I would like a little more honesty in the catering industry. We already have enough rip-offs.

Eating at the anchorage is highly recommended! The onion soup... a dream!!! But the main courses are also great. We are repeat offenders and will definitely come more often! Staff super friendly. Food super tasty. Ambience directly on the canal; very nice with a beer garden!!! Price-performance -> top

We have eaten there a few times and we have always been satisfied and when the weather is nice you can also sit outside and there is also a lunch menu

The restaurant is very nicely located and cozy. Unfortunately our stay there was less pleasant. We had pre-booked a table for 6 people. After we arrived we waited for a while and then asked for the menu. The waiter told us we should sit in another area and had to change rooms. We sat there again and then asked after 45 minutes whether we could finally get a menu. The waiter slammed the menu onto the table without saying a word. In the meantime there was a lot of activity from the waiters who brought drinks and food into the room where we were first, to the guests who had arrived well after us. As it later turned out, these were friends of the house. It took another 30 minutes until we could order and we hadn't had any drinks until then. The waiters regularly brought drinks past our table to the back and completely ignored us. After we finally placed the order, it took about 2 hours until we finally got our food. During this time we watched as various cocktails, Aperols, ice cream and other desserts were brought past our table to the back. The grill plate I received was partly undercooked and the meat was light and limp. When we paid and I pointed out this deficiency and the long time and poor service, it became very unpleasant. There would be a lack of staff and if I had pointed out the poorly prepared food I would have been served a new dish. But I wasn't in the mood for a new meal; I lost my appetite because of the raw meat. We only had one drink each the entire evening and that in almost 3 1/2 hours. We actually always order several drinks and finally a cappuccino and dessert. I'm pretty disappointed, I had already heard about the poor service beforehand, but I wanted to form my own opinion. It's like this, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

It was very tasty, the meat was juicy and it really fills you up

Very tasty food and great service!

The food was ok. Schnitzel Viennese style with a few fried potatoes and presented in a very minimalist way. My wife's salad, on the other hand, was good for a photo but tasted below average. What was annoying was that the service (3 different waiters) always seemed annoyed. “Salad?” as a question and then put the plate down without a word. If you believe the other reviews, the service and the kitchen simply had a bad day today. If necessary, we'll try again in a few months. Unfortunately today was quite disappointing.

Delicious schnitzels at a good price/performance ratio! Highly recommended

Everything was great...we'll be back

We were there recently, the staff is really very friendly and the food was really very tasty :) a small recommendation: try the homemade lemonade there, very very tasty :)

Visited for the first time yesterday. Very nice beer garden and top food at really moderate prices, for today's times. We would love to come back 😊

Very nice location on the canal. Very good price/performance ratio

When the weather was nice, we sat outside and ate when the waiter moved and cleared the tables and chairs LOUDLY next to us!!! VERY HOSPITAL!!!👏👎

Nice and cozy, outside and inside. The food is all fresh and tasty, the staff is friendly

We celebrated a wonderful wedding there on July 12, 24. The buffet was very rich and tasty. The staff was extremely friendly, quick and very attentive. A great service. We really enjoyed the day. Thanks . I can highly recommend the anchorage...

Nice excursion destination at the Datteln locks. Extensive menu, we love the beer garden where you can sit in the shade under the vines. Parking available directly at the restaurant. The interior is a bit rustic and showing its age.

It's worth a visit, especially on warm days, because you can enjoy the delicious food in the beer garden under the trees. A bike tour with this destination along the Datteln canals is also worthwhile, as the restaurant is located directly on the canal. Most beautiful nature all around.

All around a great restaurant with very good service and super delicious food.👍

We moored the boat at the water hiking rest area and went over to the restaurant, where we got a nice shady spot for the dozen of us thanks to a reservation. Thoughts about starter soup and dessert quickly disappeared after the food was served at the neighboring table. The portions are PLENTY. But most of all DELICIOUS! Then you suddenly understand the use of goose quills by Romans. At the very end, a few drink orders were lost (but were not billed for either), so there was a small downside to the otherwise perfect service. Absolute recommendation if you want to eat hearty, lots of food and still very good food (at a reasonable price!). We'll definitely be back!

Extremely delicious food and very good service

We were there with a larger group and had a successful evening with delicious food - everything was perfect!! I would have liked a little more communicative friendliness from the service🤷‍♂️

Yesterday I was back in the anchorage and had a grilled plate. The food was very tasty and I can only recommend the König Ludwig Dunkel. The order took a bit too long. The waiters ignored me a little at first. But after that they were very friendly. Food came quite quickly and was too much for me. I will gladly come again

Very nicely located, shady beer garden, cozy restaurant. Friendly and quick service and great food at moderate prices

Had a very good meal here. Service was very attentive. Quiet place.

Very nice location, we were there for lunch. Service very nice. Food was great and reasonably priced.

Ambience very good, food great, staff also good, prices okay

Nice beer garden. Big restaurant

Consistently good quality and very nice staff for years

Very tasty dishes, good salad buffet, nice service and the prices are OK. 👍👍👍

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the schnitzel day this time. The schnitzels were so beaten and so thin that all that was left was breading. The taste was also very diminished. Unfortunately the complaint was dismissed by the boss with a stupid comment. The staff was then very unfriendly.

Very cozy beer garden. Ice cream was good.

I can only recommend the restaurant Food is 👍

We had a variety of dishes and there were no defects. Everything was delicious.

The service always seems very unfriendly but the food is good

It was a lovely Mother's Day that we were able to spend with them in the restaurant. The food was delicious and beautifully prepared 😋. Next time we come, my husband will be there! 🥘🍳🥗🍻🥂🍷🍽️🚢🛥️

We had a fantastic Mother's Day with you! The food was delicious, the atmosphere on the terrace was wonderful and the service was extremely polite and attentive. Thank you for this beautiful day! We'd love to come back.

There is nothing to rate here. 5 stars should be enough. An absolute must for every occasion for many years.

Good place to have a meal by the biggest canal in Germany

Very tasty and super nice hospitality

We celebrated our son's confirmation there. The restaurant was recommended to us by friends. The rooms were very nice. The food was very tasty and plentiful. The staff and the owner were also very nice. We will definitely go there more often.

The service leaves a lot to be desired, other guests who arrived later were quicker. I asked several times for an ashtray and none came. Food was quite good, that's it.

We spontaneously visited for lunch, the shop has a lot more space than it seems, the service was a bit rough at the beginning, but then became very friendly and fond of children. Classics like a schnitzel taste good, but you have to eat a piece of meat like a rump steak. It was cooked to perfection, very tender, delicious sauce on the side and served on a hot iron at the table. We'd love to come back, but we recommend making a reservation as the store got very full very quickly.

Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is no longer right. Unfortunately the quality of the food is not that good. Everything is fried… The store smells like a chip shop. The location of the restaurant is ideal and you could do so much more with this shop. Unfortunately, you notice that the attention to detail (starter, dessert) on the house has also diminished - it is no longer available. Once upon a time there was something special about 2 years ago - unfortunately not anymore. I no longer think the prices are justified for the poor quality of the food (especially meat). A pity.

The lunch menu is particularly recommended

We were there today with 7 people. All dishes were good and tasty. The portions were quite large and there was a salad buffet and soup in advance for everyone. The staff was also great. Gladly again!

We came across the RESTAURANT by chance on our little holiday trip. The food surprised us with its good quality and portion size. Delicious Balkan cuisine. Service was very friendly. Very attractive and cozy inside and out. The outdoor area on sunny days is definitely a dream. Dog friendly.prices normal.would come again.

We went there for coffee cake after a long walk. Discovered it by chance 👍🏻 Just wanted a coffee and a piece of cake or ice cream. The selection was very good, I think We ordered 2x coffee and 1x fried ice cream + 1x apple strudel. Waiting time 45 minutes 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Yes, it was lunch time, but then you should probably say beforehand that it was taking a very very very very 👎🏻 very 👎🏻very 👎🏻 very long time. 'Cause coffee and ice cream I'm sorry, So you don't have to wait 45 minutes. I would have gotten up and left and so would my partner. But he still held me back because I would have let everything go back. I find that more than outrageous and unfortunately no longer normal. I have to say my fried ice cream tasted very good, but that doesn't make up for the waiting time for me.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I can recommend homemade lemonade, it was very tasty and very good My partner was very happy with his apple strudel. But unfortunately, if they don't have more staff there, I would go straight back out next time. I understand that there are a lot of guests here at once. It was sun. The weather was fine. There are a lot of people out there. But I still find waiting 45 minutes more than ridiculous. Unfortunately. We sat in the winter garden and it was very nice, bright and sunny. We liked that so far.

Very nice grill plate with vegetables and fruit. Given this quality and quantity, the price was more than reasonable.

A restaurant with lots of small, winding corners and rooms, very confusing. There is little atmosphere and it looks uncomfortable and untidy. Empty flower vases stand on a shelf, something like that doesn't belong in a guest room. The food is home-style and was sometimes carelessly prepared and the price-performance ratio doesn't fit at all. Completely overpriced. The staff fit the overall picture. Wouldn't be a place I would recommend to anyone.

We were at Ankerplatz Essen at the end of the year. As usual, it was very tasty. The atmosphere there is very cozy and the service is very good and very friendly. We ate there with our family, 2 adults, 1 child and 1 infant. The baby would also be warmly cared for, even though it was restless. Our big boy (8 years old) even got ice cream for free as a dessert. Now about the food... As a starter there was an onion soup, which was very tasty and made plenty of toppings and gratinated with cheese, just as you would imagine. As main dishes, we, children, had schnitzel plates, lamb fillet with fried potatoes and garlic sauce (*****) and pork fillet with champions and fried potatoes. We were able to have a salad from the salad buffet as a side dish. There wasn't a huge selection here, but everything was fresh, which is totally fine, sometimes less is more... 😉 For dessert I treated myself to the warm apple strudel with vanilla ice cream, which was also very tasty and at €6.50 the price was hard to beat. As mentioned above, my son was given a Pinoccio ice cream by the waitress after he was very helpful to the waiter. He was very happy. We spent a very nice evening here, we really liked the atmosphere. In terms of price, it was also completely okay, we had to pay a total of €99.60 (+ tip), which is justified for the quality and performance and service. Keep it up...

Great restaurant delicious food

Quiet location, very good food, nice staff - TOP

SEHR Kleiner Entenbollen mit rotkohl und Spätzle weil bei Knödel hätte man länger warten müssen winzige Portion 23€❗ ZUR SALATBAR: kein FETA bzw. Ziegenkäse keine Pepperoni .Auf dem Grillteller ist die Leber auch Entnommen worden. Wenn ab Jan. Noch Alles Teurer wird,könnt ihr gleich Zulassen.

Es kommt wahrlich selten vor das ich 5 Sterne gebe, jedoch das Landgasthaus zum Ankerplatz hat es sich redlich verdient. Der Service ist ohne Frage hervorragend, auch auf Nachfrage oben man Gerichte kombinieren oder tauschen könne, wird stets mit Freundlichkeit und wohlwollend reagiert. Das Ambiente drinnen ist gemütlich und einladend gestaltet, grade der Biergarten ist besonders einladend, ob nach einer Fahrrad Tour oder einem Spaziergang am Kanal. Hier fühlt mann sich wohl während man unter den blättriegen Dächern aus Weinreben sitzt. Ganz besonders schätze ich dass essen im Ankerplatz, jesemal aufs neue ist es ein Erlebnis für den Geschmacks sinn, eine wahre Gaumen Freude wenn mann so will. Egal ob Saisonale Küche oder Regionale Küche. Hier schmeckt es immer gut. Mann kann sagen wer hier seine Zeit verbring macht nichts falsch, ein Tag im Landgasthaus zum Ankerplatz ist ein Guter Tag.

Der Chef hat sich Mühe gegeben, Personal war ausreichend vorhanden, alles gut, aber vielleicht war das auch nen einfacher Test, denn Samstag Mittag war dort nicht so viel los

Sehr gute Küche.Toller Mittagstisch zu fairen Preisen.

Wir hatten reserviert und erhielten einen Tisch im Gastraum vor dem Tresen. Das Essen war hervorragend und wurde für den gesamten Tisch annähernd zeitgleich serviert. Der Service war aufmerksam und dabei unaufdringlich. Ein falsches Getränk zwischendurch kann passieren, wenn gut zu tun ist. Es hätte wirklich perfekt sein können, wenn es da nicht diese ständigen Spannungen beim Personal gegeben hätte, die man weder überhören noch übersehen konnte. Schade, so etwas gehört nicht in den Restaurantbetrieb. Das klärt man außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten.

Wir haben den Geburtstag unseres Opa‘s dort gefeiert mit einer Gruppe von 15 Personen, das Essen war sehr gut! Die Service Kraft sehr höflich im großen und ganzen absolut empfehlenswert! Beste Grüße

Wie immer alles bestens - wir sind sehr gerne dort zu Gast - ob mit großer Gesellschaft oder nur mit der Familie -.

Sehr nette Bedienung und sehr gutes Essen

Leider müssen wir nach dem dritten Besuch ,gestern Abend, die erste Bewertung korrigieren! Wir hatten wie üblich die Grillplatte für 2 Personen (42 €) bestellt. Diese war 2 mal so toll präsentiert, dass man die Platte erstmal bestaunt hat . Die Platte hat auch dementsprechend geschmeckt. Gestern war es ,gelinde gesagt, eine längliche schmale Platte mit Fleisch, Pommes,Gemüse mit einem kl.Klecks Sauce Hollondaise lieblos drauf geklatscht ! Die Pommes unter dem Fleisch, waren durchgeweicht und matschig ! Das Fleisch war gruselig! Fettig und zäh ,wie Gummi ! Es wurde wohl bewusst diesesmal ,zwischendurch nicht gefragt, ob das Essen schmeckt. Auch gab es kein Absacker mehr! Nun ja , für uns hat sich dieses Lokal erledigt!

Der Saal und der Garten waren sehr ungepflegt

Unhöfliche Bedienung. Lange Wartezeit nach der Bestellung der Speisen (weit über eine Stunde). Dazu ist die Schließungszeit für ein Wochenende (22.00 Uhr) ein Witz. Vorhandene Musikanlage nicht nutzbar. Das Essen war nur Mittelmaß. Schade, denn das Ambiente ist nicht schlecht. Ich werde dort nicht mehr einkehren.

Wir hatten zwei sehr leckere Gerichte und einen sehr zuvorkommenden Service. Gern kommen wir wieder :)

Empfehlenswert Freundliche Bedienung, schöner Biergarten, leckeres Essen, gerne wieder.

Auf unserer Fahrradtour hier gestrandet ☺️ Es hat soooo lecker geschmeckt. Die empfohlene Selfmade Limo ein Genuss und Hingucker. Der Biergarten einfach ein Traum. Leider war viel los und der Kellner kam nicht nach. Immer wieder gerne 👍👍👍

Nun ja, es ist nicht ganz so leicht, das Restaurant an einem Schnitzeltag-Mittwoch zu beurteilen, aber ich versuche es dennoch auf faire Art und Weise: Wir waren heute mit Reservierung an einem Tisch im vor dem Haus gelegenen Biergarten platziert worden. Das Drumherum dürfte gerne etwas gepflegter sein und wenn schon Topfpflanze auf der Brüstung, dann doch vielleicht mit Übertopf? Die großen und offensichtlich neuen Sonnenschirme haben jedenfalls für ein schattiges Plätzchen gesorgt an einem drückenden, 30 Grad warmen Septemberabend. Die Tische waren sauber, wurden fix mit in Papiertüten bereits vorbereitetem Besteck und Serviette „ausgestattet“ und die Bedienung war flott mit der Aufnahme der Getränke. Das sehr schlichte Salatbuffet bedarf keiner Erwähnung, die drei gewählten Schnitzelgerichte waren zwar ebenso schlicht angerichtet, dafür aber sehr lecker. Am Nebentisch hat ein Gast Mayonnaise nachgefordert, die ihm ohne Worte in einer Tüte von Hand zu Hand gegeben wurde. Der Gastraum innen ist altersentsprechend und sehr ordentlich und sauber. Ebenso die Herrentoiletten. Den Bezahlvorgang im Inneren hätte ich gerne mit einem Bitte und Danke abgeschlossen, aber der Mitarbeiterin war trotz Tip nicht danach. Da das Essen einwandfrei war, würde ich es für all diejenigen empfehlen, die über zuvor Geschriebenes hinwegsehen können. Satt wird man allemal.

Essen war gut jedoch trotz Voranmeldung ca. 14 Tage vorher dauerte es sehr lange bis das Essen serviert wurde. Note 4

Super leckeres Essen und sehr netter Service. Kommen gerne wieder. Sehr Empfehlenswert 👍

Sehr leckere Gerichte und ein aufmerksamer Service.

Wie immer eine gute Adresse, es lohnt sich

Immer leckeres, preiswertes Essen, guter Service, nettes Ambiente

Feier mit ca 45 Personen, tolles Ambiente, guter Service und das Essen überragend. Kann bei allem "nur" volle Punkte geben

Sehr nette Bedienung, Essen schmeckt super,hatten Wochenende eine große Feier mit 45 Personen,das Buffet war vom feinsten, wir hatten eine steakplatte,verschiedene Sorten Fleisch.alles war sehr saftig...und viel,Vorspeise war eine Suppe.Nachtisch,es war einfach super..gebe für das alles 5 Sterne 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟...tolle Location zum feiern

Durch Zufall entdeckt weil wir eine kleine Runde mit dem Rad drehen wollten. Sofort ohne Reservierung einen Tisch im Biergarten bekommen. Schnelle Getränkebestellung und Lieferung. Essen war wie gewünscht mit Vorspeise und zum Hauptgang den Salat. Sehr lecker und eine gute Qualität. Steak auf den Punkt und die Nudeln wirklich sehr lecker. Preis vollkommen ok. Toiletten geräumig und sauber. Auf dem Weg dahin den Festsaal gesehen. Wirklich hübsch. Alles in allem sehr zufrieden. Die Servicemitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, obwohl wir im legeren Metal-Outfit dort ankamen. Haben wir schon anders erlebt.

Terminvereinbarung per Mail ist möglich. Das Essen wird frisch zubereitet. Mittags gibt's eine Suppe dazu und zu jedem Hauptgericht einen Salat vom Buffet. Man sitzt ziemlich eng beieinander und kommt nicht darum herum die Gespräche vom Nebentisch mit anhören zu müssen. Im Sommer kann man schön draußen sitzen.

Sehr lecker und Preis Leistung stimmen.

Rustikales Restaurant mit einer sehr herrlichen Bedienung. Die bestellten Schnitzel waren sehr lecker. Das Preis Leistung Verhältnis ist top.

Richtig lecker sehr zu empfehlen

Sehr lecker und der Mittagstisch hat eine prima Auswahl

Mega, super freundliches Personal. Service wird hier noch groß geschrieben. Ein wahnsinnig gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Essen in einer Spitzenqualität.

Wir waren heute durch Zufall in diesem Restaurant, weil wir heute morgen mit dem Fahrrad daran vorbei gekommen sind. Das Restaurant hat einen gemütlichen Biergarten in dem man verweilen kann. Der Kellner machte zunächst einen komischen Eindruck, jedoch im Laufe des Abends war er und seine Kollegen ausgesprochen nett. Ich habe ein gefülltes Rumpsteak gegessen. Meine Freundin ein Nudelgericht. Beide Gerichte waren von außerordentlich guter Qualität und sehr sehr lecker. Auch der Service mit den Getränken funktionierte sehr gut. Keine langen Wartezeiten, genug Personal. Alles Prima. Ich kann nur sagen: Bitte so weiter machen. Wenn ich wieder in der Gegend bin werde ich auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Wir hatten einen schönen ruhigen Aufenthalt dort mit leckerer Zwiebelsuppe und einem üppigen Salat.

Kellner unglaublich unfreundlich fast patzig, Salatteller war groß und lecker, das Schnitzel eher nicht.

Der Kellner ist überheblich und Arrogant die geforderte Mayonaise hatte er in der Hosentasche und schmiss sie auf den Tisch Reklamationen Perlen an Ihm ab Danke mittelmäßiges Essen .Garantiert nie wieder

Meine Sterne sagen alles. Ein wunderschöner Platz zum Essen. Essen ist top und sehr reichhaltig. Hunde draussen erlaubt. Salatbuffet reichhaltig. Die Preise sind sehr angenehm.

Superschönes Restaurant für Wanderer, Fahrradfahrer und Autofahrer....sehr gutes Essen, schmeckt ausgezeichnet, freundliches Personal, wir waren schon oft hier, allein und mit großer Feier....war echt toll. Wir freuen uns auf auf unseren nächsten Besuch... absolut in vollem Umfang weiterempfehlenswert.....
