Vatis Dorfkrug in Recklinghausen

Very friendly service. We were at Vati's Dorfkrug for the first time, and the food was delicious and we were really full. ;)

Awesome! The service is great and the food is delicious. I can definitely recommend it.

Super delicious food and super friendly staff, always happy to come back!

Great food, friendly service, lovely ambiance, and fair prices. Update May 17, 2023 Perfect evening 👍 Update October 2, 2024 Great again 😊 Update June 4, 2025 The lunch buffet is delicious, and the changing selection is very nice.

Great restaurant, extremely good quality food, super friendly service, very attentive, well-coordinated team including the boss.

Visited for the first time today. The lunch buffet was plentiful, with a good selection and very tasty. The staff was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend it.

Super delicious food and great service. Update: We ordered food for our daughter's confirmation. Great selection, on-time delivery, and everything still warm and crispy. We highly recommend it.

Lunch buffet, very good price-performance ratio. Good selection, everything tastes great! Friendly and good service, we were there with the family, everyone was very satisfied!

The food there is excellent - everything. Ok, I haven't eaten everything myself, but we've been there so often with friends and family that we've tried almost everything. Everything can be recommended. The boss and the employees are simply great. Always attentive and ready to joke. Always friendly. We like to go to Dad's 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 A lunch buffet is now also offered, but we only ever make it there for dinner. But still always happy.

We held my mother's funeral service here - 25 people, lunch or a la carte... - everything was perfect - good value for money and super nice service!! Absolutely happy again!!!

Good food at a good price. Very good service.

The ambience lives up to the name,

Fantastic cuisine and great service

Great restaurant! Fresh salad buffet and a large selection of main courses. The service is also great. We actually celebrate every occasion there. Absolutely recommended!

Cramped and loud, but food and service good

Nice staff and food and drinks very good

Pleasant atmosphere, fast service and very nice waiters, great owner our dad, I can only recommend it to everyone. L.g. Ralf and Heinz-Jürgen

A great restaurant where you can eat with warmth is accepted as a guest

Very warm and consistently good food! We are guests again and again and have always been completely satisfied! The lunch menu is an excerpt from the evening menu and is significantly cheaper. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

Fish fillet served without sauce, with lots of bones, the soup had already been served with the salad. The dirty tablecloths are simply turned over. (in front of the guests) 83db volume in the hall. Steak tasted sour and the fried potatoes like they came from a bag... 1. and The good reviews last time are a mystery to me.

Extremely friendly, you feel welcome!

Very nice atmosphere, sitting very nicely in a side room, nicely decorated, good portions, nice salad buffet

You can eat very tasty food and the boss and the wait staff are very friendly and there is now also a lunch buffet

We ate there on Boxing Day and had already thought about what we wanted to eat in advance. When we were there we got a shock, there was only a buffet, when we ordered a table for 6 people by phone, they should have mentioned that on the phone and, above all, the price per person. They took €35 and that wasn't even the worst. What happened that day was mass processing, far too many people for the small space, 2 large and one small parties. How do I make a lot of money in 2 hours. Squeeze as many people as possible into a small space and collect €35 per person. The tables were so close that my in-laws had trouble getting up. We had to move our table forward a little so that the two of them could even stand up. We couldn't move much because there was a table behind our side. The worst thing was that I had a black wire in my soup (chicken soup). At first I thought it was a chicken bone when I had it in my mouth, then when I saw it I was shocked again. We immediately called a waiter (very young, maybe a trainee) over and gave it to him and said that there was chicken soup in the big pot and that it would be better to remove it, after all there were 2 very large parties with children and who knows whether they would Then we didn't eat it (risk of injury), but because we were afraid that the young waiter wouldn't pass it on, we spoke to the head waiter after a short while and his answer knocked our socks off. In an unfriendly tone he told us that he had been told and that something like that happens with so much stress that they have had in the last few days and he knew what it was about. He meant from the grill. What does chicken soup have to do with a grill. To me it looked like it came from an old wire scraper. There wasn't even an apology and I highly doubt that the chicken soup was thrown away. For me personally, the meal was over. Actually, I should inform the health department and file a report, that's not possible. That's the last time they saw us. I wouldn't even have given it one star.

A good restaurant, I can definitely recommend it… What's not okay is that not all prices are listed on the website, such as the Christmas buffet, that's not possible, we'll think about whether we'll still visit the restaurant.

Enjoy your meal. Good staff. Clear recommendation.

Great, cool and I can't say anything about the prices. It was a Christmas party but thanks again for the Christmas party for the 15th year. Thank you very much very tasty. Good service until next time

Very good service. Food from the buffet was good.

Food ok, slight train station atmosphere due to a number of Christmas parties. ...

Large portions. Friendly service.

Hello fellow human beings, if you want to eat really well and go home full then you have to go to Vatis Dorfkrug here. The food tastes fantastic, the ambience is perfect, you just feel good. The service was nice and accommodating. This restaurant gets ten stars from me. 1A 👍👍👍👍

I would go there again and again. Highly recommended!

Nice atmosphere and a small, fine lunch buffet. Very nice friendly staff. Despite the 4 stars. Always my pleasure!

It was great there, the service is great and the food was very good. The prices are reasonable, except for the Prosecco, which is very expensive. An all around great restaurant

Delicious food. Good price-performance ratio. Very attentive staff

Super friendly and fast service.

If you want to eat well, head to the Dorfkrug. Always top. 1.Address great

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. Clean and tidy. Been there several times, both eating in-house and taking food away. Both possible and both very good.

Because of the good reviews we went there for dinner today. We reserved a table in advance and that really made sense on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was very busy and it's really not small. The waiter was nice and friendly, but when I asked him he said that Ajvar would of course be included with the grilled plate and half and half. I noticed this later on the bill, he said it was a misunderstanding. I was also given €10 short of change, which was definitely a misunderstanding. The salad buffet was good, probably part of every meal 👍. Our two main courses consisted of minced meat and pork loin. Unfortunately the meat was completely unseasoned and dry. Yes, there were spices on the table, but that's not the same. Price/performance ratio is just fine if there are no misunderstandings. For us, this first attempt at Vatis Dorfkrug is enough, but you have so many satisfied guests that it doesn't matter.

Our class reunion was in great hands there. The food was very good and tasty, the staff is top notch. Pretty good mood and attentive. The restaurant is recommended.

We held a memorial service with 80 people at Dad and his restaurant. The food was great and his team was extremely friendly and accommodating 🫶 I can only recommend it! Thank you again 👏

The restaurant is very inviting. The staff is very attentive from start to finish. The food is super fresh and very high quality. Always my pleasure.

Super nice beer garden, enjoyed in wonderful weather!

Food very good and plentiful. Great service, quick and really nice. Very good value for money. We'll be back.

Very good food, large portions and large selection. Very clean and very friendly staff.

Quite a nice restaurant. But nothing more.Steak was ordered medium and was almost cooked through.Several people ordered chanterelles in cream sauce.Unfortunately they were in a thick pulp and it only tasted like the sauce.

Were there for the first time yesterday. But we were all very impressed by the service and food. The staff is very friendly. Daddy's village mug is 1 A.

just cool... There's something for every taste

Today we went to Dad's for the first time with a birthday party. I have rarely experienced such attentive, courteous and friendly service. Price/performance unbeatable. Super fresh salad bar and solid food. Really very decent portions at more than fair prices. Lovely again ! Parking is a bit difficult, but the operator can't help it.

Very good restaurant, the food is great. The service is very nice. I can only recommend.

delicious Super owner Great employees Highly recommended

Good service with great food on site as well as large-scale home delivery. Everything was great, we love coming there ❤️

We weren't thrilled, the pork fillet was dry, the grilled peppers looked like they came from a can, the breaded cheese was also from a package, not homemade, my wife had a dirty glass, my complaint was ignored, for me it was just a dismissal , sit down, eat, walk. That's how I felt. The waiter could also have been friendlier. We were there for the last time!!!

Very friendly family business, very tasty food, large selection and little waiting time, fair prices. Next visit is already planned 😋

We have food from the daily menu at reduced prices Many options With the dish, salad starter soup and dessert top price Very friendly staff 👍👍👍

I was there as a guest at a confirmation. For me personally, everything was perfect and my food was very tasty. Unfortunately, other guests in the party were not so lucky. (However, we didn't tell the service either, it was only said afterwards) I will definitely visit the restaurant again to be able to evaluate the price-performance ratio. Greetings to all

Always happy to be here! Even with our children! Food great, service great!!

Very nice restaurant. Food was super tasty 😋 Service was very attentive and friendly

Excellent food Big portion Excellent service Nice ambience Family atmosphere Extra wishes are fulfilled

Decent, good Balkan restaurant, good lunch, very friendly service, rustic furnishings, everything okay 👍

Really good value for money for the delicious asparagus. The salad buffet was also really fresh and good. Vatis Dorfkrug is highly recommended! Nice personel! Thank you for the lovely evening.

Once again we were disappointed. We were eating with a larger group (12 people) and were greeted hectically by a waiter. The order felt like it was taken under time pressure. Instead of non-alcoholic beer, one with alcohol was brought. Likewise, instead of still water, a bottle of sparkling water was served. It can happen… but alcohol definitely shouldn’t happen… We were surprised by the really high prices. A children's plate with chicken nuggets and fries costs a whopping €10.90. A grill plate now costs an impressive €22.90 and a Viennese style schnitzel costs €17.90. You would expect corresponding quality for this. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in terms of quality. The fries were soggy, tasted like old grease and were unsalted. The chicken nuggets tasted cheap. The schnitzel and the grill plate were at best ok. All in all, we have no recommendation. What should be mentioned positively is that the food was served at the same time and warm.

Good food and nice staff. What more could you want 👍....

Always a very pleasant meal: really friendly welcome, fast service, delicious and... fresh food, courteous staff, nice atmosphere! What more can you expect. Next visit is already planned.

Really good 👍🏼! Food delicious and plentiful, service attentive and fast, I'll be back......with friends 👍🏼👍🏼🤣! Absolutely recommended 💪💪👍🏼👍🏼Thanks to Vstis team!!

As always, it was delicious and cozy. Unfortunately, we found that the prices had increased quite a bit.

That's fine! Food ok! Very, very full and loud! I don't necessarily have to have it!

Very tasty food, very nice service, open but appealing atmosphere. After a very friendly greeting and taking the pre-booked seats, the drinks and food requests were quickly received. The food arrived after just a short wait, after which we had to go to the salad bar. The food was plentiful and very tasty. Overall, the restaurant is highly recommended!

Very tasty food at reasonable prices. The staff is very fond of children. However, it is very loud. A bit difficult for people with hearing aids. but otherwise highly recommended for all age groups

There were several groups there, although there was a lot to do, everything went smoothly, the food was very good, and the service was friendly and attentive.

I haven't experienced such attentive and friendly service anywhere in a long time. The food was very tasty and was served really hot. There was also salad from the buffet. Since we were there at lunchtime we even had a starter soup. Instead of chicken soup, the vegetarians among us were offered tomato soup. Great! Relaxed atmosphere, a bit busy and loud. I was here for the first time today and I'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Always my pleasure. You are always warmly welcomed by such friendly staff. Dogs are also welcome and the food is delicious and you will definitely go home full and satisfied.

Very tasty, plentiful food. Very nice service. It wasn't the last time we were there. It's really worth it

Everything is just right here, the price is absolutely right and the service is super friendly. Nobody goes home hungry here 😊 Very clear recommendation 👍

We had booked a table and had to wait a bit because it was completely full, but the food and service were worth the wait

Were there for the first time... We will be back....

Delicious food. Good service. We sat in the small room, not so nice in the large room, very loud.

delicious food and very friendly service! It wasn't the first time and certainly not the last time

We were very happy with the food we ordered! Everything is very good. Very nice service. It was just very crowded (for a Wednesday evening) and therefore relatively loud. We have been to Vatis before and will happily come back!

For every occasion to dad, and a bottle is always taken with you 😉

Lecker 😋 essen zum vernünftigen Preis

Sehr gute Speiseauswahl, man kann die Gerichte mit anderen Beilagen bestellen, gute Salatbar.

Sehr gut gegessen Service sehr nett. Leider sehr laut und kaum Platz um sich zu bewegen. Bahnhofshallen Atmosphäre.

Wir haben sehr lecker gegessen, der Service ist hervorragend alles in allem " Es hat uns gut gefallen und wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Gutes Essen freundliches Personal gute Preise wir waren schon öfter hier gehen 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️ Immer wieder gerne dort hin

Es ist immer wieder zu empfehlen, das Essen ist reichlich und sehr gut. Die Bedienung immer freundlich und lustig. Der Chef ist ein Schatz.

Lecker und umsorgt! Leider sehr laut.

Wir haben unsere Hochzeit bei Fathi gefeiert und es war traumhaft schön. Der Service war 1a, das Essen spitze und ganze rundherum war einfach genial. Das Buffet war mehr als Reichlich und wir durften alles mitnehmen und verteilen. Uns wurden alle wünsche erfüllt. Fathi, seine Familie und das Team sind so herzlich und ganz tolle Menschen. Wir waren öfters vor der Hochzeit schon Gäste und jetzt werden wir noch mehr uns Stammlokal besuchen !!!

Freundlicher und schneller service, super Essens Qualität und eine angenehme Umgebung. Nur zu empfehlen!

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service.

Essen und Preis gut, für mich persönlich nicht so gemütlich da ein riesen Raum.

Tolles Lokal und leckeres Essen....

Leckeres Essen und sehr gute Service

Mir persönlich ist der große Saal einfach zu ungemütlich und laut. Bei der Cola war leider jedes Mal die Luft raus. Wildschweinsteak hat leider auch nicht überzeugt.

Essen Sitze Service top Hier kann man gut und lecker Essen

Essen war super lecker 😋 Bedienung ist sehr schnell

Alles fantastisch!! Service, Essen und Ambiente....toll! Sehr zu empfehlen. Tolles Team, aufmerksam, freundlich und gut gelaunt.
