Tank & Rast Raststätte Köckern West in Sandersdorf-Brehna

It probably wasn't the best day to take a break there. The Burger King order panel was broken. Long wait times, and the restrooms were terrible.

Actually everything you need is there.

Monday morning at 0630 everything was closed.

Unfortunately, the Köckern West service area did not convince us. There is no classic restaurant - instead just a Burger King and a small shop with sandwiches and snacks. Especially at lunchtime, that's a rather meager offer for a rest area on one of the busiest motorways in Germany. At Burger King, all of the ordering terminals were out of order and only two employees were trying to handle the huge rush. The queue was correspondingly long, the process was slow, and after waiting around ten minutes we decided to move on. A broader and better organized offering would be desirable, especially at peak meal time. If you just want to buy something quick, you might find what you're looking for here - but if you're hoping for a relaxed meal in a reasonable atmosphere, you probably won't.

Large parking lot, toilets, restaurant

Price/performance ratio is completely overkill. The staff were very attentive but sometimes poorly trained, and the technology was faulty, at least during my visit.

We were very disappointed with the selection and prices. The staff seemed bored, and hardly any customers came...

Large truck parking lot. Social facilities.

No special rest stop, Burger King inside was overwhelmed as there were only two employees working. Another snack bar was not open, temporarily closed.

Service at the burger place was poor, and the speed was abysmal. No coupons!

Bullshit open 24/7. Now here and everything closed.

I wanted to eat BK, but at 7:45 p.m. everything was closed without explanation..... Total disappointment

It's already closed at 6:50 p.m. Whether it says open 24 hours on the internet.

We waited 25 minutes for the bratwurst box and 1 x fries. There was no one in front of us! The employees gave the impression that they were afraid that someone might come and want to buy something. Totally disordered and wild! The children after us had to leave without their already paid order because their bus wanted to move on and the cashier refused to give the money back. There were even tears among the girls!

Lots of space for stoneware and light stoneware😌...Burger King has great and friendly service, you can communicate in Polish, Spanish, English and, of course, German. I didn't add a 5th * because the payment for the toilet is only in cash, but we solved the problem positively with the compatriots behind the counter.The toilet is very clean, free wi-fi, open 8am-8pm, good coffee, the food at Burger King is quite good - the fries are really tasty...I recommend! What's more - a shower costs €4 but... you have to leave the building, go around it and behind the building there is, among others: the so-called prefab and inside there is a shower, washbasin, toilet, i.e. toilet in three separate rooms. It is clean and warm, and hot water is provided by an electric boiler. on the wall. You don't have to press anything, the faucet (faucet) is the same as at home - no one limits the bathing time, etc. it's fine...

There is a notice on the door temporarily closed

It's rare to find such bad staff. Then the operator should shorten the opening times, but that's not possible with these people!! Positive: Coffee is strong and tasty.....

The very last thing... an employee vomits and the entire staff takes care of the sick girl. Every now and then someone would join us at the checkout or at the food counter without even washing their hands, etc. Disgusting is all I say. Paramedics were called and suddenly all the staff disappeared again. If I puke tomorrow I'll know where from, but then the health department will also know and can please close the shop. Thanks for nothing!!!!

Proud prices, it's just a highway. But tasty and plentiful.

Friday 08:10 - we are standing in front of closed doors

The restaurant has a nice ambience. We felt comfortable there. The service is first class.

First what's great The toilets are clean and OK. The shop is stocked as usual at rest stops and priced accordingly. Flop The Burger King on site was closed. The hot counter is well advertised, but it fails with an avocado bagel and a glass of ginger with lemon, according to the menu there should have been both. The bagels that are available are 3/4 full, the rest is dry. And the tea tastes like nothing (let's be polite).

The night passed quietly and calmly, the area smelled very strongly, although it was cold, I don’t know how it will be in the summer, at 19:00 there were still places in the herringbone, there was no free toilet.

Time is not correct. Even though it says online that they are open 24 hours a day, we were told by a show of hands that they wouldn't open again until 9am Gas station is clean

Conditionally, some of the staff speak German poorly, the selection is small.

Shower outside in a container. Burger king is not working. 2 stars for friendly staff.

No, I stood in a queue for a really long time and when it was my turn the wrong cash register said you can't pay here and I had to queue again

Unfortunately I can't recommend it

What an achievement, what a service, amazing! Monday afternoon, 5:10 p.m. Burger King is closed. Reviewers have already written about the remaining offers. Poor Germany! Addendum: I read the other reviews afterwards. Nothing comes to mind anymore.

Just imagine: it's Saturday, the start of the holidays. It feels like half of Germany is traveling on the highways and you can't get any coffee here at 8 a.m.!! Can't you think of better! Is that typically German? yesss

Everything to your complete satisfaction

Temporarily closed as of 01/29/2025.

Friday lunchtime only leftover food and that on the A9 doesn't work at all...

Unfortunately, Burger King has been closed for at least a year…. Sad thing like that.

The town hall had run out of schnitzels at 3 p.m., only bockwurst was available, but it was open until 6 p.m. There was a snack bar in the gas station/rest stop, only dry sandwiches and a bockwurst shower cost €5. Why does this rest stop even still exist at the service?

Unfortunately you have to give at least one point. 4:30 p.m. and no food at all except bockwurst.

It would be a shame to say that he would steal his own and that his sphincters would not be able to stand it and he would make a mess of himself

Anyone looking forward to Burger King is in the wrong place here - despite the correspondingly large advertising. The shop is closed.

Parking and station ok. Toilets and shower - poor

Worst rest stop in Germany. No card payments for years!

Burger King closed for no apparent reason

On January 1st completely closed… not even toilets open

Nice rest area, unfortunately the Burger King is constantly closed.

On December 29th, 2024 no card payment was possible in the toilets, 3 of 5 cubicles in the men's toilet were unusable due to a pool of water/urine. Toilet dirty. Still paid in full. Staff at the checkout passive-aggressive, "the person responsible for that left half an hour ago." Not like that, friends. Listless, sloppy but big mouth. Although Sanifair is an external provider, to demonstrate organized irresponsibility is the very last thing.

Just like that, everything is closed and there is no possibility of eating anything! Seeing the statement says “closed” at the counter inside is cool when you have to take an 11 hour break with your truck and are not allowed to drive any further! Best Germany ever and I thought they had a duty to eat and co. To be provided if you operate a rest stop on the motorway.

Arrival with guests on a weekday at 5:15 p.m. and then you find yourself in front of closed doors...probably caused by a lack of staff. But I have no understanding of the fact that even the toilets are not accessible!!

Burger King has been closed for months! Completely stupid...

Everything is closed. Without explanation. It doesn't work at all!

No shower. None at the gas station either.

I confirm. Shower closed everywhere. I don't recommend betting here at 45, not even at 9.

The opening hours are not listed anywhere, but they close at 16:00, half an hour before that they were no longer willing to serve hot food, there were only a few sandwiches left over from the morning at the counter.

The restaurant is already closed at 4 pm, the showers "don't work" (the price would be 4.50 euros, so it's even expensive). If no service is working, why is it not indicated??? I only give 1 star because you can't have zero.😡

No Pysznica. . crap, wait so many days and weeks. Learn from Austrians.

Showers are an eternal defect, fat Helga at the station can still say that I am not interested.... Typical DDR!!!

It's supposed to be a place for truck drivers, ask for a shower and they rudely tell you that it's broken. It's not the first time they've denied it.

I guess it's time to fix your shower...

I just took a quick bathroom break today. These toilets were very clean. The breakfast buffet was very rich and fresh.

“Temporarily closed” is written on a small note, even though everything inside is lit, which is very annoying

Good big rest stop. Plenty of parking spaces available. Food and drinks excellent.

Burger King closed at 6:30 p.m.!!!

Been here on Thursday, November 28th, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. You stand in front of closed doors without any indication why or why. Everywhere is open 24 hours. At the gas station you are told: "Closed due to a lack of staff. The two who work there can't be there 24 hours a day."

We were just there, Thursday at 5 p.m. Rest stop is closed (doors locked) without any information. No notices, no sign, nothing. Otherwise we would have pulled into the truck stop shortly beforehand. Now I have to wait 60km to the next rest stop to use the toilet.

One star because you can't give less. I definitely advise against it. I parked here several times and never managed to use the shower, non-stop failure, both in the restaurant and at the gas station...👎👎👎

It's an absolute disgrace, no shower works for us truck drivers. A shower now costs 4.50 euros plus the shower is often drunk or doesn't work at all! Thank you for this service

Everyone parks how they want. There is no consideration for colleagues

Stopped today, I actually wanted to go to Burger King, but it was closed (it looked as if they weren't opening again.) So anyway, just a bockwurst for 4.99, there wasn't any other choice (except sandwiches). Waited over 5 minutes because the sausage had to go into the pot first. Then, as expected, I got a sausage that was still cold on the inside with pale baked rolls and a bag of mustard. So it shouldn't be called a rest stop. More like an impudence. I won't stop there again. It really doesn't work at all. Rest stop without warm food, where the bockwurst is made to order and served cold.

All the showers are broken, that's not normal...sucking...

What was good: everything was tip top clean and tidy. What wasn't good: A service person who doesn't understand the deposit system for German beverage cans and, as at all rest stops from the monopoly Tank&Rast: extremely high prices. This works much better in southern Europe.

I've been here twice, the problem is always that the shower doesn't work, he says, go to the gas station and it doesn't work there either, in short, you can't do 45 here

4:00 p.m. Köckern West. The door is locked. Why nobody knows. Three people are standing inside and looking out with wide eyes. Nobody comes and opens the door - no, they just stare at what the people out there want. So then you just go again. Put the children back in the car hungry and drove on. Indescribable... There's one star only because you can't give 0 stars.

As always, everything was clean and the service was nice.

It sucks, we stood in line for ages, when it was our turn in April, the kitchen is closed, very unfriendly, never again

If you like a good Rastenwerk Bürger King, gold really. Good rest stop

Simply closed during the stated opening hours

Refueling is fine, everything is normal. If, of course, you want to use the shower for 4.50 euros. , then comes the problem. Truck drivers wait a long time to get to the shower. I waited over 1 hour. There are 4 showers at the pump, but the staff only opens one shower so that they don't have to clean the showers. Then the drivers who are waiting for the key will pile up at the cash desk. After 15 minutes, 4 other drivers were already waiting at the cash desk, yet only one shower was open. Truck drivers are also people, and they deserve a human approach.☹️

Unfortunately it was already closed late in the afternoon on November 3rd, 2024, even though it says 24/7 on the internet. How can that be?

Everything was great. Always happy

Everything was closed on a Sunday lunchtime, with no sign as to why.

I don't recommend it at all, you can't pay for the toilet with a card because there's a constant failure, you can't use the shower because I wanted to pay with a card, I don't recommend it.

Going to the toilet costs €1. But you also get a voucher for one euro, which is twice as much as at the train station. Unfortunately, some of the toilets were dirty, so it wasn't until I tried four that I found a halfway clean one. Interestingly, despite the truck stop, the gas station is relatively cheap, in contrast to the others on the A9.

Closed Friday afternoon at 4 p.m., no indication why, why, 24/7 opening times are stated on the Tank & Rast homepage, a little information would be enough

Just before midnight with great service!

You can lose your appetite at this rest stop. On October 20, 2024, the restaurant was closed later in the afternoon. We were lucky enough to get a freshly tapped coffee from the machine from a completely overwhelmed lady. At least the cashier was polite. Customers who came after us were less fortunate and were rudely turned away. Unfortunately it wasn't obvious from the outside that the restaurant was closed. Otherwise other customers wouldn't have bothered to go there. We definitely won't go to this location again. Actually half a star would be too much.

Burger King closed and while we were eating we were rudely told that the hot kitchen was closed...sad

Open 24 hours! Sunday 4:35 p.m. - everything closed. Shame!

Never this rest stop again! Yawning emptiness in the catering area, even though the parking spaces are well attended. Why? The prices are “out of this world”, even if you redeem the Sanifair voucher (€1 for the toilet!). The friendly loudspeaker voice can warble that you should treat yourself to something in return for the voucher. I used it a few km away at a gas station where I didn't feel quite so ripped off... I think a catering area with the current concept is unnecessary here, a toilet parking lot is enough.

On a Saturday everything was closed except for the café. The employees are always just unfriendly. No matter when you are here.

Hard to beat when it comes to unfriendly. Burger King wasn't open at all and the shop was closed at short notice today at 3:30 p.m. We were turned away at the door by the complaining male employee in his Sanifair shirt. Without any indication that you can also go to the toilet at the gas station. A sign on the door that it is closed would also have been very helpful.

They write open 24/7. That's a lie. Several visitors stood in front of a closed door. And on weekends from 2:30 p.m. No indication why or for how long. Very bad for business. It's best to spread the word. Don't stop here anymore. This has nothing to do with relaxation and rest areas. 😢☹️

Arrival 4:30 p.m.: Town hall already closed and unfortunately this is no exception here. If possible you should avoid this rest stop.

I'm just arriving here and looking forward to a Whopper menu. It's Friday, 6:30 p.m. and the start of the holidays. However, the rest stop is closed. They must be doing really well if they can close so early! With the prices bordering on extortionate, it's no wonder. Nobody cares what happens to the travelers and the many truck drivers. However, if you have a monopoly you can afford it! It's a shame that I can't give minus stars.

Every day I wake up and stare at the ceiling, my thoughts filled with Köckern West. How much I miss this place is indescribable... this red lettering on a white plate appears to me in my dreams like the light at the end of the tunnel, my savior in times of need. This place has such enormous emotional value for all of Germany, people from the East wouldn't understand that...

In the middle of a Sunday afternoon you, like about 60 others, stand in front of a closed door. Incomprehensible and really an absolute joke.

The rest stop is simply closed. 3:45 p.m. on October 15, 2024

It has happened to me several times now: the last time was on Sunday October 6th from 4 p.m. no entry for everyone. A NO GO for a motorway service station!!!! The toilets could not be used and coach passengers were refused. And the suggestion that the food was gone seems like an excuse, because there were enough shop items to buy. The lack of staff is certainly a problem, and the employees certainly wanted to get off work. Management there is work for you here!!

We went there to have coffee but unfortunately it was closed The light was on but no one was there and no sign either Too bad

What bad service: the rest stop along with Sanifair, Burgerking and coffee house closed at 6 p.m. on Saturday. No customer information at the entrance.

Biggest rip off. 5€ for a bottle of water

Just keep driving… you’ll get more service…!

Clean rest stop on the A9, but everything here was closed at 10.30 p.m
