Svenjas Diner in Idar-Oberstein

Great place to eat! Friendly staff and delicious food!

The food was absolutely delicious. It couldn't be better. 👍 Different rolls? No problem. Just ask. Perfect. Okay, the beer garden could use a bit of improvement (which is why it gets 4⭐️ for the well-kept interior)... But it's not that bad, and it's irrelevant to us.

We've always enjoyed coming here. But the quality has declined in many areas: Service: 1. You stand cramped in the entrance for several minutes. Even though the manager himself can see you standing there the whole time, it's more important to him to finish his conversation with the bartender. 2. We had to wait over an hour for ONE appetizer platter. The place was only 2/3 full. The excuse was delivery service. So, better to order from home than go?! 3. The main course for 4 people took another half hour. In between, we weren't even asked if we wanted something to drink. 4. It was already very cold in the place, even with our sweaters on. My request to turn on the heating was accepted. Nevertheless, it was still ice cold at the end of the evening (after about 3 hours). Food/Drinks: 1. Frozen food that wasn't even cooked through. We were so hungry that we didn't even care that the chicken wings were still ice-cold inside. So much for everything being homemade. 2. A wrap that was completely overloaded with honey-mustard dressing and was just dripping. So it wasn't enjoyable anymore. 3. The burger and fries were okay. 4. It just took too long for fast food. 5. Arizona iced tea from a small disposable plastic bottle )-: All in all, I could have made this at home, and it would have been cheaper and faster, and it wouldn't have frozen.

Great burger, even with a different bun (just ask), super quick, even with the frozen bun (25 minutes). Looking forward to the next meal.

I can't agree with all the positive reviews. In short: Food = lots of frozen/convenience food and questionable taste. (In my case, starter plate, steak, ribs) Atmosphere = has nothing to do with America, and some of the seat cushions are broken. Service was the best; the gentleman was nice, but he also disappeared for 10 minutes to deliver something and/or pick up his Amazon package. First and last time for me. I've heard from others that the burgers are pretty okay.

The pulled pork burger was a dream, the best I've ever eaten. I highly recommend Svenja's Diner.

I has dinner there with my friends and the service, food was amazing 😍

A wonderful experience at this American-style restaurant. I chose a Caesar salad: perfectly seasoned, well-cooked chicken, fresh and crisp vegetables—no complaints. We also tried a chicken burger, also very good quality, tasty, and well-prepared. The fries were excellent, crispy and golden brown, a real treat. The service was pleasant and efficient from start to finish. I recommend this place without hesitation for a simple, delicious, and well-executed meal.

Absolute favorite burger joint!!! We go there often and love it. The vegan and meat burgers are delicious and highly recommended :) Tip: The hot burger and the fries with hamburger sauce :)

A wonderful little restaurant! I was truly captivated by this cozy restaurant. The dishes were not only delicious, but also lovingly prepared and beautifully presented. You can immediately tell that the food is cooked with fresh ingredients and a lot of heart. The decor is tasteful and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere – perfect for feeling at home and enjoying the evening. I would especially like to highlight the staff: incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful. You feel welcome from the very first moment. I highly recommend this restaurant and would gladly return!

Super delicious food and friendly staff

Excellent value for money. Very fair prices and delicious food, plus the oldies Antenne playing very pleasant music that fits the ambiance. Highly recommended.

It's a great place to eat if you're in the area!

Highly recommended ! We all ordered the vegan burgers (most of them, I think). They can hardly be distinguished from burgers with meat and are very tasty! The service is very good and not intrusive. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back.

What a nice dinner! Completely in American old style, super fun! Friendly employees, delicious food, good atmosphere and for a very nice price. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely come back. The nachos with pulled pork were especially delicious and we really enjoyed them.

Is exactly what you would expect. Classic delicious burgers, fresh ingredients and good service. We'd love to come back!

We were more than satisfied...great burgers and good service...thank you

We were more than satisfied...great burgers and good service...thank you

The vegan hamburgers could have been a bit more flavorful, but at least they had plenty of lettuce, tomatoes, etc. The staff was super friendly, and the restrooms were clean and nice. Prices are normal by today's standards. Vegan burger with fries €12-13.

We come from Düsseldorf and were there for the first time today. - the burgers were great - very rich selection of dishes, drinks and even desserts - the store is extremely clean & inviting - Prices are fair - Service/operation super friendly & accommodating Overall a great shop and the owner is a very nice and charismatic gentleman who runs his business with passion. You can tell that he cares about the well-being of his guests.

The location is recommended, the food is excellent and the price-performance ratio is reasonable. The service, on the other hand, needs improvement due to the inexperienced staff. One or two training courses are recommended for this purpose.

We went to Svenja's diner for the first time today. And we were all completely satisfied. Everything was very tasty, fresh and quickly prepared. Wishes are catered for and children are very welcome. Recommendations have already been passed on. Thank you for the great service! We'd love to come back.

The best burgers far and wide 👍

Feeling like being in an American diner. Absolutely awesome burgers. The only small point of criticism: the tap beer tasted a little like dishwater. Still absolutely recommended!🍔🇺🇲

I ordered a burger to take away, the burgers are really huge and they really fill you up, and they're super tasty. I can only recommend that I'll be back. SUPER

The food is always great, as is the ambience. We had dinner today and were more than satisfied. Above all, we are surprised that you can find such a nice and child-friendly restaurant, with kids menus, cutlery and cups for children and extra coloring books and colorful pens It's not a given and you feel welcome when you go out to eat with children. Thank you for that, we’ll always be happy to come back 😍

Always happy, super tasty, very friendly

We were here for dinner and as always it tasted great. The burgers are great and the salad with the balsamic walnut sauce is awesome.

Nice place, probably based on American style. More appearance than reality, the food looked good, but was rather bland and very expensive. Service was a bit pushy on Valentine's Day to get rid of cake. Given the prices, a piece could have been free for the wife as a nice Valentine's Day special. But yes, just try it yourself first.

Vegan burger was very tasty. The ambience, service and value for money were also good. Gladly again! 👍

I like to come by occasionally and it has always been very tasty. I can only recommend it. Everyone is always very friendly but depending on the company, the order takes a little longer. That wasn't usually the case for me, as I was usually there very early.

Super nice service and great food. Highly recommended

We ordered there for the first time today and are very satisfied. It tasted good, ordering and delivery was quick and easy and very friendly. Will definitely order there again & eat there too 😊

Very tasty burgers. Reasonable prices. Unfortunately, I live too far away to eat here more often.

Great food! Service super nice! Veggie burgers are great! Dogs are only allowed in the beer garden.

Super delicious, gladly again 👍.

Note: When we were in the restaurant, there were two families next to us. 7-8 customers in total. After ordering I waited 50 minutes. The food was normal, not very tasty, and not terrible. This restaurant is clean and looks good. But because of the reasons mentioned above, I don't want to come next time. Maybe it's better to order something for delivery than to visit in person

Sehr empfehlenswert. Freundliches und zuvirkommendes Personal. Sehr sehr gute und leckere Burger. Jederzeit wieder! Waren vor einem Jahr im Urlaub schon mal dort und haben uns das ganze Jahr auf den nächsten Besuch gefreut. Wir wurden erneut nicht enttäuscht.

Chicken wings were cheap frozen goods for over €10.

So it was a bomb again We are always so enthusiastic about the food and the team, we don't even care about the almost 50 km journey. So about my food, I haven't eaten such great spare rips as I did there in a long time. So every way, no matter how far the distance, it's worth it!!!!!

Tastes very good, nice ambience, nice service

Absolutely excellent vegan burgers and very good service.

Nice and cozy restaurant with a nod to the 50's/60's. Food was very tasty and the staff super friendly. Small point of note, music from the 50s / 60s would have been a little more appropriate. And maybe a jukebox. But otherwise a really top restaurant

It's great that there are even 3 vegan burgers on the menu! We were also offered vegan mayo. It's just a shame that there wasn't much vegan food in the other sections of the menu.

Today I ordered a salad with strips of rump steak. Salad portion was good, the salad dressing was great but unfortunately the rump steak strips were A. no strips but pieces and B. Unfortunately very very dry, a shame. I have to say that I weighed the portion of rump steak and at 65g it was very little for the price of the salad. Still a good restaurant and very tasty burgers.

Very fine American food. Nice staff and fair prices. Great selection. Gladly again

I ordered the pollo wrap. Unfortunately for the price it's quite bland and nothing exciting. My colleague had a rump steak that wasn't the desired level for the price. Too bad. According to her, my friend's burger was ok. The fries were very tasty and the service/staff was very friendly. The chef personally checked several times to see if we liked everything. The atmosphere was very cozy!

Cool diner with delicious dishes. Friendly service. Large portions, also vegetarian and vegan dishes, kids menu... You can stop here if you feel like burgers etc., 100x better than the big, golden M. 😁

The food is delicious, top service, very nice staff, I can only recommend it! Thank you very much, we'll be back

Everything's great 👍🏽 you won't be disappointed

The xxxxl Farmer Burger is large and extremely tasty..., the cheeseburger is also very tasty. The service is very friendly and responds to the customers' wishes. I'll definitely come back.

Great atmosphere, at least inside. The food was great. However, we had to wait 2 hours. Which wouldn't have been bad at all, because the waiting time was announced due to a lack of staff and a full dining room. But the table next to us arrived 45 minutes after us and was already eating before we even got anything. Apparently the receipt was "accidentally" swapped due to vitamin B. And not even the appetizer, which was deliberately ordered to pass the time and consisted of appetizers fried within 10 minutes (nuggets, mozzarella sticks), made it to our table in less than an hour and a half. Very unfortunate. Even the really nice manner of the boss and the delicious burgers no longer helped the mood.

Delicious food and service is great. Highly recommended, what I didn't like but that's the person's opinion was the prices The prices are a few euros too high for my taste. But nonetheless I was very satisfied

Svenja's Diner has been our favorite for a while. It's always nice to come back again and again. The changing promotions and always new burger creations and seasonal burgers are really great and delicious. The service is warm and quick. Delivery can also be made, which usually works perfectly. Sitting in the diner is of course nicer ;) We always feel like we are in good hands and will come back again and again in the foreseeable future. Thank you for all the effort you put into the diner, it's really worth it! :-)

Was there for the first time. I'm very happy with everything, the wait was worth it, the burger and fries were very good.

In a span of 2 hrs we only had our drinks 🍹 the food was good but Jesus, not even an appetizer or anything in 2 hrs. We also were not getting refills or anyone coming up to see if we needed anything.

Reserved a table and still waited 2 hours for the food. After the food finally came it was still wrong. The food didn't taste good at all. It wasn't really warm. I won't eat there again.

Very nice diner. Wonderfully implemented. The nuggets were frozen goods. Nachos with cheese sauce, that's how it worked!! Cheese sauce a bit too thin. Service was on point and very, very friendly!!!

Very tasty food for a good price! Our waiter indicated that he could not speak English, but that went well! Highly recommended!

Visited last week and the place is nice and diner like with great music. There was only two other groups/couples in the restaurant. We ordered burger and fries + a coke and waited... It took 35-40 minutes to get the food and when we got it the fries was not fried properly but very very soft on the outside, we told them and they offered to dry them some more... Seriously a fresh portion but dont fry things twice. Burger was Ok but nothing special and way to expensive for what it was

We were there while passing through and treated ourselves to 2 burgers (schnitzel/cheese) with fries. Service very friendly and service-oriented. The food came to the table fresh and quickly, nicely prepared and was eaten with relish. Not art, but delicious 😋 Nice little diner that makes a decent impression. 😃👍🏻

Courteous staff, great ambience and delicious food

Food very tasty, service good, place clean...burgers very good, cole slaw good, humane pricing!

We arrived just in time for the opening in the evening. Were paid zero attention by the service person who was on the phone. Nor after the call ends. We sat in the restaurant for 10 minutes without anyone paying any attention to us. We wanted to leave... We then called out to a service person that we would like to order... Then a waitress was sent. Drinks taken and finally got menu... Drinks come...but wrong... Ordered food... Takes forever... As I said, we were the first guests that day. Then a guest orders food to take away... He gets his food promptly...we wait. Burgers are coming... Meat just barely cooked. In our opinion, burger sauce was made thinner. It tasted better. All in all we were very disappointed. We won't be going there any time soon.

Tastes fantastic, big selection. This is where you go to treat yourself to something good.

Very good! Got a burger + sweet potato fries + 1 milkshake and cheese nuggets for 34 euros. Very plentiful and also totally delicious. Driver was very friendly. I was born and raised in the USA and the food alleviated some of my homesickness.

Visited this restaurant for the first time. Fresh ingredients, carefully prepared. Price/performance is right here and the service is also right.

Very tasty citizens that I also got with a different meat upon request, I was really very satisfied and it was very tasty

Great location, nice service and delicious!!

Stopped here during our short vacation. A great “usual” diner style diner. The food was great (burgers, fries, milkshake, waffles) and the price was completely reasonable to very good. There are also the usual drinks as well as a few “American drinks” such as root beer and Dr. Pepper. The service (very friendly family business) was top. Parking is not a problem here.

Great little restaurant Great choice for vegetarians 🌱 and vegan 🥑 Top service, top decoration 👍 I recommend ! Thank you 🙏🏼

Very good burgers.... Good service...

Sehr nettes und kleines Diner. Empfehlenswert. Ich würde immer wieder hier hin kommen wenn ich mal in der Nähe bin. Danke für denn leckern Burger.

It was like always, everything was great. There aren't that many stars to recommend

Very nice restaurant and very nice staff, meat quality 100% perfect, the food tastes great. I actually eat there every weekend with my family.

Always a pleasure ☺️ very, very tasty!!! Price-performance ratio absolutely harmonious 👍🏻we always look forward to seeing you again ❤️

Super tasty burgers, nice atmosphere and super good service!!!

Liked very much. They were together with friends.

Very comfortable and the staff and boss were very friendly.

The food was very tasty. Super nice boss, very friendly staff. Everything was very hygienically clean

We really enjoy being there. Great atmosphere, good food. Everyone is always super friendly

Nice ambience; great food, whether burger (e.g. Boss Burger) or wrap (e.g. Crazy Pollo), cole slaw salad... And of course the friendly service from the boss... Always worth a visit!!!

Great diner. Many options. Tastes really good. Prices are within reason. We'd love to come back again and again

Friendly owners, pleasant atmosphere, great food, child-friendly

Price-performance: Very good...👍👍👍

One of the best and, above all, tastiest restaurants in Idar.

Really great diner right in Idar-Oberstein! Super nice, authentic atmosphere, but not too big or too loud. The burgers and also the finger food were really great and the price was absolutely right, really good value for money. In addition, the owners and employees are really very nice. There are also cool offers on certain occasions, such as a Dinner4Two on Valentine's Day (photo). Will definitely come back soon! :-)

Delicious food. Great service Highly recommended!

You don't need to say much. Food is great, looks great, service is great and the cook is great, food 5 stars I would give it six if I could, only recommended!

Very good burger! Really recommended.

Very nice people and bring food out to your exact liking Food was very delicious

Mehrmals vor Ort gegessen und schon öfter zum Abholen bestellt. Burger sind immer sehr lecker. Die Pommes auch genau richtig. Service ist super, sehr nett und Ambiente ist auch sehr schön, im amerikanischen Diner Stil.

Ein kleines aber feines Diner das durch seine Freundlichkeit, Auswahl und Ambiente überzeugt. Preise für die Qualität die auf dem Teller landet ist absolut gerechtfertigt.

Schönes American Diner Ambiente und passende Speise- und Getränkekarte - prima Burger !

Das Pulled Pork ist sehr zu empfehlen...

Wir haben uns das Essen liefern lassen. Sehr lecker! Wir müssen irgendwann auch mal vor Ort vorbeikommen.

Netter, aufmerksamer Service, großartiges Essen mit frischen, hochwertigen Zutaten liebevoll zubereitet, authentisches und angenehmes Ambiente. Besonders zu empfehlen sind die phantastischen Spare Ribs. Uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert.

Das Tochter-Vater dream team Svenja und Ralf leistet mit dem 2016 eröffneten Svenja's Diner einen außerordentlichen Beitrag zur Bereicherung der Idar-Obersteiner Gastronomie. Essen (vielfältige Speisekarte für Vegetarier:innen, Veganer:innen und alle Anderen), Service & Freundlichkeit, Ambiente suchen Ihresgleichen an der Nahe/Hunsrück und darüber hinaus.

Chicken wings damals waren innen eiskalt, heist TK Ware. Nein danke. Das kann ich auch zuhause für nen 5er

Kleines schnuckeliges Diner, mit nettem Personal , Essen und trinken super lecker 😋 und bezahlbar
