Serways Raststätte Am Kahlberg West in Mittenwalde

I was there for the second time and not the last time

I liked the schnitzel with potatoes, but the goulash soup is just tomato sauce...

The rest area is clean and tidy and the staff is nice. The prices are typically high on the motorway. The outdoor area is well laid out to stretch your legs or take a break

Parking without a station. Serways restaurant, toilet, shower 3eur, parking. These 2 stars for rude service. The lady is very unpleasant today, as if she had to come to work in the morning as a punishment.

I can recommend the rest stop. Unfortunately, they are all so similar that I can't see anything special and that's why I didn't give them 5 stars.

We went to this restaurant to eat traditional Gulashsuppe. After ordering, we watched the preparation of two dishes take 5 minutes: the lady took out a bucket and heated it in the microwave, poured it into two bowls and added bread rolls. The goulash was undercooked and its contents were far from standard - unfortunately there was no meat. I don't recommend this place... In general, gastronomy in Germany is not doing very well, especially for those traveling on highways.

Store without reservation, but parking lot full of garbage

The rest area looks impossibly dirty. The staff at the sales counter were friendly. Coffee was tasty. I didn't get to the toilet. The machine swallowed my euro, the toilet attendant didn't want to understand this and accused me of having taken the money out myself. 😡

It looks like a garbage dump and the staff is extremely unfriendly.

Small parking lot for trucks. There is only a restaurant. However, there is a clean shower (3 euros) and a clean toilet. The restaurant has quite good sandwiches. The restaurant is closed at night.

I warn you that in the dark hours of the day, two crooks work in this parking lot, who cut the wheels with a knife and want to rob while the driver is looking for a problem on the spot or has gone to a dark place further away. We were lucky that there was a spare tire and we noticed the cut in time. There is also a woman working in the restaurant who rudely serves, rolls her eyes when you ask to heat up the food. The toilet is paid even if you have a receipt for buying food. Drive past.

The cleanliness of the sanitary facilities is poor to poor. Destroyed flow and many other unsightly broken and worn parts. The coffee was good and OK. I give the coffee 4 out of 5 stars.

Very unfriendly staff, also made a fuss about a coffee + bagel promo, the price was wrong, older staff first pointed the finger at a younger colleague, but he had nothing to do with it. Received a vague explanation that made no sense. The average hospital waiting room is more pleasant.

It has a nice shower, it's clean. It costs 3 euros.

At 7:40 p.m. Closed. And they say it's open 24 hours a day. The drivers have been waiting at the door for an hour to use the toilet, and the dispatch ladies washed the floors, turned off the lights, and probably went for a coffee. Failure.

Difficult to find a parking space

Charging station doesn't work with the usual APPs and cards, you have to pay 35 by credit card.

Cappuccino over 5 euros... Otherwise a normal rest stop like everywhere else, nothing special, clean inside and out

I was actually hoping that Google would never ask my opinion about visiting this store. The visit there was so subterranean that I'd rather take a shower before I stop there again. Except for the colleague who worked at the toilet and was allowed to play the servant of the two unfriendly ladies, everyone's salary was reduced! We arrived at the rest stop because we needed a toilet break, unfortunately there was a long queue in front of the women's toilet. Well, nobody can do anything about that there. Since I got to it quickly, I had to wait for my companion. Of course you have a lot of time to look and observe. The two strong women who ran the food counter and cash register are, for me, the unfriendly people I have had the pleasure of seeing in a long time. I told my companion that if you go home from your vacation in Berlin disappointed because everyone in Berlin was unfriendly to you, you definitely have to stop here to finally decide that you will never go to Berlin again. People who had questions were frowned upon in a tone that would be too harsh even for prison. You couldn't get a single sensible answer out of the two women. Every now and then the shop shouted: “Wash up”. Then the very quiet gentleman from the toilet came into play. Since we were hungry, we decided to eat there. After ordering and selecting "pay cash", I went to the checkout. I greeted the lady and was met with nothing but silence. The waiting time for the food was ok. Then we got our food and noticed at the checkout that the mayo was missing, so we waited a bit. After an extremely unfriendly "there's something else" and the reference to the mayo, we got it thrown away. Unfortunately, the lady also forgot our cutlery and my companion had to go there again. After an equally unfriendly salutation, the lady tried to convince us that the cutlery was there. After a discussion we finally got our cutlery. At this point we've already sworn we'll never stop here again! The food wasn't great, but it wasn't particularly tasty either. For the price you can eat better. While we were eating, a boy about 7 years old stood in line there. After trying to ask in English when his food was coming, the answer he got was "GERMAN". You're really ashamed that people like this represent us Germans! We were there for 30 minutes and will never come back. And for everyone else who is thinking about driving another 1.5 hours towards Dresden, the next rest stop (Freienhufen) is definitely friendlier than that!

The food is a bit too expensive.

2x schnitzel with fries for €13.99 each and then served cold and carelessly. After we asked after waiting 20 minutes and she didn't see the order on the monitor. An impudence...

The parking lot is small and it's hard to find a space after 5 p.m. Shop, toilet, shower

Clean rest area, food can be ordered via a terminal and is freshly prepared, doesn't taste bad either, as soon as a coach comes there is just chaos in the toilets and in the small restaurant area

the rest stop makes a good impression. Unfortunately, the staff is very unfriendly and we cannot recommend eating in the in-house restaurant. There are much better rest stops there! Highly recommended for a trip to the toilet…!

Staff incredibly rude I just wanted to go to the toilet and noticed that the rest stop was closed. When I saw someone inside I knocked but was ignored several times even though he was still looking at me Instead of just going to the door and saying what's going on, ignoring me is just cheeky. I wouldn't recommend this rest stop between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m

It's clean and you can spend a little time there, but unfortunately the staff isn't the friendliest

... just a rest stop ... you can't really complain (price/performance/service is all great)... but unfortunately it's always full.

This was a great stop along the way from Dresden to Berlin. I originally planned to get a quick coffee before heading back in the road and of course a pitstop seemed like a good idea. The food I saw advertised looked so good. A schnitzel with chips (french fries) and mushroom gravy. I couldn’t pass it up. I also ordered a hot chocolate but it was from the push button machine. The food was delicious, the chicken was so tender and juicy, I’d never expect that from a quick roadside place. Additionally, you could see the care and attention paid to the cleanliness. There was a woman right up front wiping clean the silverware. My mother ordered a cappuccino, hers also came from the push machine. She didn’t care for it at all. There are people making coffee, I’m sure that would’ve been much better than the machine. If you come here and make a quick restroom stop, don’t forget to have your coins or credit card handy, it was €1 to access the restroom. They print the little ticket which gives you .50 back towards a purchase so be sure to make your purchase after you use the restroom, otherwise you can hang on to it for future use at other roadside establishments.

Everything there is kept a bit "small" - shopware on offer, food and drinks on offer - but not bad for a short break. The large bockwurst with rolls for €4.99 was tasty and, with a 10% ADAC discount for a motorway service station, also OK.

Everything was okay, we felt in good hands

Open around the clock. Stood in front of locked doors at 2:45 a.m. and I urgently needed to go to the toilet. But since you read here how dirty the toilets are supposed to be, I should probably be happy that they were closed.

I ate there. A meatball box BBQ. I felt sick all day afterwards and vomited. Something like that had never happened to me before! I shouldn't have eaten it in the first place, the meat just didn't look appetizing anymore. The prices are also very expensive. I would actually advise against eating there. Sry.

Toilets are clean and for the coupon you get an apple or a banana, for example...! TOP

Highly recommended. Usage fee for always hygienically perfect sanitary facilities, of course

I recommend very nice service and a wide range of nice and pleasant ☝️👌

The shower is clean and neat!! It costs €3 👍👍🤝

Clean parking lot. I can't say anything more about it, I just kept it short.

Stopped here many times, but tried the coffee for the first time..very tasty coffee

Cappuccino and muffin were good. Both together about €7 Very friendly staff. We were at the right stall, it was a bit cheaper there :)

Waited 10 minutes for a coffee...

Everything is good but the toilets need to be invested again

Sunday, 6 p.m. closed and without information on the door it's not possible...

Was just to the toilet, but is like any other rest stop

Complete disaster... anyone who comes from the catering industry knows what service means. If the employees don't feel like doing the work at all, nothing positive can come out of it...it's a shame

So the toilet was clean and tidy, but otherwise it was a disaster... The owners should train and instruct their staff better so that the customers don't feel so taken aback... Unbelievable

...however, we only had a break in the park to enjoy a coffee at the caravan in the evening sun

Open around the clock! 🤬 6:20 p.m. 2 ladies look out at 20 people who urgently need to go to the toilet, but the doors are closed!!!! Unbelievable! That on Saturday?!

6:38 p.m. on a Saturday the shop staff doesn't care that people are standing outside for a motorway rest stop, which is cheeky

5:30 p.m., Saturday on the way home. Only stop to actually relieve yourself. Like others, they stood in front of closed doors. Lights on, staff there, doors closed. No notice, no notice.... Can't afford a rest stop. Opening hours “around the clock”? With so much criticism similar to ours, there is an urgent need for action.

Toilets were clean. The rest is also completely fine.

You can't give it a star. (But I have to, otherwise no post is possible) The rest house is closed again without any information. Children and adults alike must relieve themselves behind the rest house. Absolute impudence on the part of the operator.

If possible, keep driving...... dirty and unfriendly, if it's open at all. We also stood on September 20th. even without a hint in front of closed doors. In such a situation, men may disappear behind the hedge, but women have a harder time. Today we wanted to give the rest stop a second chance. We'll never have the tournament again. The toilets are not clean. The gentleman in charge was watching like a hawk to see what the customers were doing. It was busy and it took forever at the checkout. It was not possible to spontaneously pay for a selected meal and a coke at the terminal. We got a little alarm for eating. But it didn't start. Instead, the number that was probably on the receipt from the terminal was called out. Unfortunately we were sitting very far away from the exit. The lady in the “kitchen” didn’t mind that no one picked up the food. The food was filling but wasn't really tasty. My fries were hardly seasoned, my husband's tasted salty and like stale fat. Once ketchup or mayo should be €10 included. In addition, the tables were not clean either. We'll just drive by next time...

1 star too many, it's 8 p.m. and the store is closed 😂 There are staff inside and all the lights are on, but the doors are closed. You can't even get to the toilets. Juice shop

Rest area closed at around 8 p.m. on Saturday with no indication of other opening times. Restaurant and toilets fully lit and staff available, but not responsive. Very bad for families...

An absolute disgrace, I would fire the staff. Tuesday at 3:40 p.m. the shop is closed!!! no notice, nothing and after a number of people tried to get in, the light quickly went out. No toilet available. Change the staff again if instead of turning off the light there had at least been a notice at the door 👎👎👎 and the ice shield is still invitingly outside 😂😂

Nice rest stop but the prices are just too expensive for us drivers, a shame

The staff is inside, but all the doors are closed. No sign or inscription. Can't even get to the toilet

A gas station marked on the highway as a gas station does not have fuel dispensers :D It is only a shop and a restaurant, strictly "like at a gas station". Queues like someone was giving away something for free. The toilet was clean, but I needed fuel and not to get stuck in a traffic jam to get to the parking lot.

The doors are closed at 4.30 a.m. and the employee sees us but he doesn't come to open it but takes care of his food??

Little quality for a lot of money.

Parking lot along the autobahn. Reasonable restaurant with excellent sanitary facilities. Pay 1 euro.

Toilets were clean. Otherwise I find Serways very expensive, even for a rest stop.

Unfriendly employee at the quiet place. That's better.

Since I drive long distances, rest and something to eat are always useful. 👍

Well, the place may look very nice in the photos during the day and it certainly functions that way, but I and a few other travelers arrived at night to use the toilet according to the highway sign..... However, I was not allowed to do so. because it was closed, I was forced to take advantage of the charms of nature, which, fortunately for me, was not closed. ;) Regards

Parking spaces for trucks are almost always occupied and there are not many for passenger cars, toilets are like in the African wilderness, the only advantage is that the outside is quite clean. Serways has very tasty food and great coffee.

Seriously? I've never experienced anything like that before: the gentleman with bad German and glasses almost taps me on the finger because I wanted to grab a knife that was unfortunately missing from the schnitzel. Should I suck this? I didn't do anything wrong or reach behind the counter. I should kindly ask what I want with open cutlery... ahaaa... and then in one tone! Holla... Nuggets rock hard and schnitzel dry as a stick. Apart from that bit, I would like to mention the little mouse that scurried around on the edge 😎 I also had to clean the table first 😎 All in all, unfriendly and unclean. No recommendation and I would like to talk to them again about the knife story and the mouse. As a family we were very shocked... I'm used to a lot of things but that's borderline. Sincerely the travelers

Good rest stop with nice gastronomic offerings.

Closed at 8:00 p.m No toilet open It's a shame actually

That's not the seriousness here. You still have to pay money for the toilet. Every station toilet is better. And the boss doesn't care at all. You should be ashamed.

Exactly at 6:50 p.m. I wanted to buy cigarettes but unfortunately the doors were already closed. Too easy a catastrophe and not that far from Berlin 🤣just laugh

Normal rest stop. Overpriced like everywhere else. But an incredibly unfriendly toilet staff, unfriendly is an understatement. Such aggression problems cannot be tolerated. A cheeky appearance from the first letter to the last, something like that is no longer allowed to work in service!!! Just a short pee break is not possible, a huge queue and then you get complained about. under all crap

Were there on September 20th at 5 p.m. The rest stop was closed. No public restroom Peeing and...... just went around the corner behind the hedge. Horrible and disgusting

Nothing special but always consistent quality

Nicely designed, small rest area. Unfortunately completely overrun.

Very friendly and helpful staff including tips on where to eat. Everything is very clean on site and the playground for the children is wonderful. Taking a break is fun.

Staff a nightmare There is shouting across the room, an employee??? looked dirty and unkempt in the kitchen area The first and last time!

Not recommended. Men's toilets dirty, don't drain and some are broken. When eating, the fries are forgotten, the coffee is really full, but as thin as dishwater. Another negative example for German rest stops.

Despite the heat, the service was in a good mood Super

Were there for a short stop at the weekend. I don't like giving out bad reviews, but I've never experienced anything like that. You come in, it smells like a toilet, the counter area had been freshly wiped. The cleaner was just complaining to herself, what you didn't understand about, wiped the men's toilet, complained complained, then women's toilets, complained complained, got a sausage at the counter and the good lady just complained, no suitable money, whether you couldn't order faster etc. We went out there with many others and we all just shook our heads. Of course the girls were all stressed, the journey back was busy, but that's not possible! We come by there more often, maybe it's better then and there'll be a positive review, but definitely not today!

Good rest stop if you don't take the surroundings into account.

Great clean rest stop with delicious healthy food.

A small parking lot with a shop, but no station. The first one after Berlin is almost always crowded or full

All prices are completely overpriced. Which is not surprising. 1€ for using the toilet is almost a rip-off. The cleanliness also leaves something to be desired. But if you have to... And then being able to redeem the Euro voucher from the toilet for a coffee for almost 4 euros... A joke.

Always a stopover on the way home from the Baltic Sea... Ritual...

Oldfashion and the food is not very special

Coffee ok but food very expensive and little choice.

Just one of many overpriced rip-off shops on the highway.

Very unfriendly and unhelpful employee with a bad mood. Yells at customers and colleagues. We were at Serways for the last time

1 star is still too much. Toilets were dirty and employees were extremely unfriendly. The kids menu didn't include drinks and surprises - but the price was the same. Overall we felt very uncomfortable.

Staff very friendly. Prices are a bit high.

Workers just hate clients! They shout, put wrong food, don’t heat it, don’t answer questions and especially rude to foreigners. I don’t recommend to stop here!

We had a very good experience. Toilet paid but free😁 First you pay 1€ per person, but you get a voucher 1€ per person for the shop/tea/coffee. One voucher one payment, so we take 2 separate drinks and pay twice, each time using a voucher. Nice workers there, helpful.

Staff very friendly. Toilet but very dirty and unhygienic

Hundreds of people on the weekend, and there are only two paid toilets, and one of them is not working. An hour in line for the toilet...

I was horrified by the terrible service at the counter. Everyone got their fat off before me because they didn't immediately know whether the coffee should be small or large... it was my turn because I hadn't read properly because I wanted to use the toilet voucher for a magazine... . and a poor employee because he didn't know exactly how to help a boy. This lady was from the fish market or something. Can you still unleash something like that on customers today?????

Expensive but the milk coffee is delicious and is always a must

Clean, nice staff and the prices are okay

Well... it goes like this... very small and therefore very chaotic

Everything you need... highly recommended for a short break
