Vater's Gaststätte in Pößneck

Good food, simple ambience and nice neighbors.

There were six of us there and we had made reservations in advance (I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be sure of a spot). The service was super, super friendly and simply fantastic. I've rarely been greeted so warmly and served so kindly. The food selection was home-style and honestly super delicious! 👍🏻 We had crispy dumplings, pike-perch fillet, roulades, turkey schnitzel, and pork schnitzel. Everything was absolutely delicious. The food was served very quickly, which speaks volumes about well-prepared and experienced cooking. Absolutely fantastic! The prices are super fair. If we're ever in the area again, we'd love to dine here again. PS: I wanted to take pictures of the food... but it looked really delicious and somehow everyone just pounced on it, and half-empty plates don't look so fancy and give the wrong impression. 🤗

Very tasty. Highly recommended.

For me, a visit to "Vaters" is an essential part of any visit to Pößneck. The food is a delight. Today, five of us had lunch. We ate two roulades, one gluten-free roulade, and two pike-perch. The roulades were served with Thuringian dumplings and red cabbage. It was divine. The dumplings tasted like my grandmother's. On the board next to the entrance door, you can read "Homemade Thuringian Dumplings," and that's exactly what they tasted like. The roulades were tender and seasoned just right, and then the sauce...so delicious. Thuringian dumplings should float, and the amount of sauce is just right. If you want more sauce, you can order it free of charge. My daughter has celiac disease and can therefore only eat gluten-free. She can certainly feast at this restaurant. The day before our reservation, she discussed with the owner what she would like to eat, and the kitchen prepared the requested gluten-free dish. We've also spontaneously stopped in for dinner, and there's always a selection for them. The ambiance is rustic, and the tables are covered with tablecloths. The owner's friendly manner makes us feel welcome, and the delicious food motivates us to keep coming back to "Vater's."

Thank you for the delicious food and friendly service on June 5, 2025. Best regards, Dr. Knappe

The food is delicious 😋 and the value for money is SUPER 😊, definitely recommended.

Small and really nice! The reservation was worth it; the food was delicious, and the chef and staff were very attentive and very friendly. We'll be coming more often now! Thumbs up and keep up the good work.

I highly recommend this restaurant. It's a great fit for downtown Pößneck. We had a great time meeting up with school friends. Thank you very much!

Great schnitzel with seasoned meat. Very good service. I'd be happy to go again.

Very friendly, very clean and very comfortable. We felt really comfortable, the waiter was super friendly. The menu is varied but not overloaded. We didn't wait long for our food, it was well prepared and delicious too. I've finally had currant juice there again for decades. I haven't discovered it in any other restaurant yet. Thank you.

On Christmas Day we ordered our lunch from Father's and received it right on time. There was once roast venison with cream mushrooms (me) and delicious dumplings and another portion of goose breast with red cabbage and dumplings (Thomas). Everything tasted excellent. Unfortunately there is no photo of the food. The cuisine in this restaurant is really good, highly recommended. We wish the whole team at "Father's" a happy new year, stay healthy and cheerful everyone... Sylvia and Thomas Müller, Pößneck

Very nice email contact. Our request was processed quickly, despite the short time. We would like to thank you very much! One of the few restaurants that offer lunch. And what a! It was super tasty, great Thuringian cuisine. Original sound: some of the best Thuringian dumplings at restaurant level. 2x venison, 3x schnitzel, salmon and zander - absolutely great! Our tip for your next visit to Pößneck!

There almost every Sunday. Always delicious and great service. Keep it up.

Restaurant with tradition and people are aware of that here. Service is very attentive and friendly and the kitchen cooks really well. 👍👌 So people, stop reading reviews and go eat at Father's Restaurant.

dumpling dishes top, Schnitzel Flop!

Great restaurant, with very friendly service and really good food. We can really recommend it.

We went here for dinner for the first time today and it was very tasty

Was there for lunch, quick, good and inexpensive. Good home cooking, nice service. Very pleasant.

We had a good lunch here. The prices are reasonable and the service is friendly.

Good food, friendly service, clean toilets, varied menu, acceptable prices

Super good food. Prices in the middle range. Very friendly service. Ambiance could do with some improvement.

Highly recommended, very nice staff and always a good atmosphere! Keep it up!

Been there for the 5th time and always great. Price/performance top. Speed, cleanliness, taste, as I said, very good, thank you. Always my pleasure. Our family celebration in this beautiful atmosphere was great. The food was great and the service left nothing to be desired. We will always be happy to come to you with 30 people ❗️Great team ❗️❗️❗️

The food is always amazing! Real German cuisine like grandma's :) the landlord and the waitress are also very nice and accommodating! very very happy again!

I had to find another supply location at short notice because our regular location suddenly refused service. Have been guests on Sundays or picked up food for over 40 years. Now suddenly not anymore. So we went to Father's Restaurant without further ado and immediately received a positive and friendly response. On Saturday I ordered the food at a very fair price, picked it up on time and was completely satisfied with my birthday meal! If father can't eat, the food has to come to father. ;-) Highly recommended!!! Thank you for the great service and the very tasty food. Will definitely be repeated! Kind and grateful greetings

A very good restaurant with German cuisine. At lunchtime there are various dishes with Thuringian dumplings. Good drinks selection, outdoor seating.

Very nice staff! The food was very tasty! The restaurant is suitable for wheelchair users! There is a parking lot in the immediate vicinity.

I ordered and picked up the food today, it was very tasty and the service was plentiful and very friendly. I can only highly recommend the restaurant.

Like mother's, the food is great

Was eating there. Price performance doesn't fit at all. 2 small thin frozen turkey schnitzels, 6 industrial croquettes. Schnitzel fried and not fried. A handful of canned mushrooms and two slices of cucumber. Cost a whopping €18.50 It's sad how people are being ripped off.

Beer garden in front of the house, food was very good and friendly service.

Always my pleasure. Thuringia/German cuisine served in a cozy restaurant with friendly and fast service. It's really pleasant and always worth a visit.

Everything perfect. Keep it up 🤗

A very nice host who warmly welcomes his guests and looks after his guests with a lot of care, warmth and consideration.

Super friendly staff and really tasty!

Very, very tasty. The boss is super friendly.

Top food, nothing fried, really fried. Highly recommended.

We had Th. dumplings, sauerbraten and the schnitzel. Everything was really delicious. Service was good and the food came really quickly. Only recommended.

Very good home cooking. The price/performance ratio is also right.

For many years now it has been a top address for good food, and of course the best service... Special occasions are well supported... Simply a very good place to meet and feel good. Just beautiful. Matthias Thiem & family

We often eat at Vazer's restaurant, sometimes for lunch and sometimes in the evening. The food tastes very good and is always freshly prepared. Tobias and his team are super friendly.

Great food and friendly people would love to come back.

Always delicious to eat there We recommend

A great restaurant. Down to earth and super great food. I haven't eaten such great dumplings in a long time.

Tolles kleines Restaurant, Speisen alle frisch und sehr lecker. Service schnell und zuvorkommend. Das ist hier, wie nach Hause kommen zum Essen.

Mittagstisch. Freundliche Bedienung, schneller Service und Essen top

Ambiente und Bedienung waren in Ordnung. Das Essen wird jedoch dem Preis nicht gerecht. Es hat für mich geschmeckt wie Fertigkram aus der Tiefkühltruhe.

Leckere Thüringer Küche. Schnell und sehr freundlich serviert!

Schöne kleine Gaststätte mit schönem Ambiente. Wir hatten uns diese Lokalität schon im Vorfeld auf Grund der guten Bewertungen rausgesucht. Auf unserer Fahrt ins Urlaubsdomizil sind wir dann dort eingekehrt. Sehr freundlicher und aufmerkdamer Kellner ohne aufdringlich zu wirken. Das Essen war super schmackhaft und wir mussten nicht lange warten. Hier kann man sehr gut Essen und die anderen Bewertungen haben es uns bestätigt.

Drei Sterne nur weil die Bedienung herzlich und zuvorkommend ist.

Sehr leckeres und abwechslungsreiches Essen, für jeden Geschmack ist was dabei. Sehr freundliche Wirtsleute und gemütliche Gaststube mit Biergarten.

Wir hatten heute zur Jugendweihe ein Buffet und was soll ich sagen. Es war rundum perfekt. Super Kalkuliert und geschmacklich einfach grandios

Wir waren zur Mittagszeit auf ein Bierchen vor Ort. Ein wahnsinnig netter Wirt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

War heute erst wieder drin nach langen Monaten Pause Das schnitzel wie es sein muss der Service ja was soll ich sagen der Wahnsinn lohnt sich immer wieder

Gutes Ambiente mit freundlicher Bedienung vor allem eine klasse thüringer Küche, immer ein Besuch wert

Sehr gemütliche kleine Gaststätte. Ein super Service und bezahlbar ist es auch. Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Ziel um gemütlich essen zu gehen.

Super leckere Hausmannskost. Wie bei Muttern oder Oma.

Wie zu sehen alles 5 Sterne. Bedarf keiner großen Worte.

Tolles regionales Essen, nettes Personal. Gaststätte klein aber fein

Sehr freundlich, guter Service, einfaches, aber leckeres Essen. Bei Reklamationen sehr höflich und und zuvorkommend. Das habe ich selten so perfekt erlebt.

Super Essen. Tolles Personal. Immer wieder gerne.

sehr urige Gaststätte mit wirklich toller thüringer Küche...also Klöße, Braten, Soße usw. Wir waren an einem Werktag mittags zu Essen dort und viele offensichtlich einheimische Gäste da, was unseres Erachtens dafür spricht, dass unser sehr guter Eindruck keine Eintagsfliege ist... Der Service war sehr gut, schnell und aufmerksam und diese eine Bedingung hat den ganzen Service allein gewuppt...wir kommen gern wieder, wenn wir wieder in Pößneck sind.

Wir waren heute spontan hier essen. Trotz voller Reservierung haben wir auch einen Platz bekommen. Das Essen war wie immer super Qualität und preislich einwandfrei. Super freundlicher Service. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Sehr gute Thüringer Küche nettes Personal und den Biergarten kann man auch empfehlen.

Leckeres Essen und nette Bedienung

Sehr zu empfehlen. Leckeres Essen, sehr frisch und gut eingepackt damit es auch schön Warm bleibt. Personal auch sehr freundlich.

Sehr nett und es schmeckt lecker

Sehr leckeres Essen und super Bedienung! Wir kommen immer sehr gern hier her.

Wir haben super Thüringer Klöße mit verschiedenen Fleischgerichten gegessen und sind freundlich und nett bedient worden. Immer gern kommen wir. wieder.
