Wacht am Rhein in Leverkusen

We had a celebration with 40 people in the tower room with its own terrace and a fantastic view of the Rhine. The barbecue buffet was very good, and they even refilled the food. We had a drinks package for 6 hours, which included all drinks except schnapps and cocktails, including all coffees. The service was very prompt and fulfilled all our wishes to our complete satisfaction. The manager was also very nice, generous, and accommodating; we were even allowed to bring our own cake and schnapps. All in all, it was fantastic and we'd go back again. We've celebrated there in recent years.

Views of the Rhine are always nice. Food is nothing special. Price performance is right. Nice for bike trips.

We were there for dinner for the first time - with a total of 6 people… I had the zander fillet (ordered sauce separately)… it was very tasty, crispy and juicy… The others had liver, cold roast beef, pasta with shrimps, leg of lamb (from the daily menu)… Everyone was very satisfied… Dessert: pancakes and apple strudel… ditto delicious… Waiter was nice and quick. A lovely evening all around :)

A nice place for cycling and walking with delicious ice cream from the cart. Ships can be easily observed on the shore itself. Lots of opportunities to sit down and enjoy the sun.

We were there on Easter Sunday for the lunch buffet, the food was a complete disaster, nothing was refilled, the meat was fried to pieces, really mushy, the roasting pan where the meat etc. was in was very dirty, a lot of finished products were used here, nothing was really fresh, the ambience with a view of the Rhine was the only good thing about it, but the rest was a mess..., we complained about this to the waiter, but the only reason was the train station, once and never again and then €20.90 per person is a disgrace for what you get

We were there with 15 people and family. Pricing out of this world. Too little selection for the high price. Children aged 7 and over pay the full price and unfortunately the buffet wasn't even suitable for children. We weren't offered a drinks menu, which was unacceptable because we didn't know how expensive the drinks were. The drinks are bottled from discounter PET bottles. Very disappointing and absolutely not recommended.

Disappointing visit – not recommended I ate at Wacht am Rhein today and was unfortunately very disappointed. The service was inattentive and not very service-oriented. There was no drinks menu, so you had no overview of the prices. The drinks were bottled from plastic bottles from cheap brands - unfortunately you could taste that too. The food itself was extremely greasy, heavily oversalted and overall of poor quality. At €20 per person without drinks, the price-performance ratio is absolutely not justified - especially since children aged 6 and over also have to pay the full price. Overall, not a place I would recommend.

★☆☆☆☆ 0 stars would be more appropriate – an absolute disgrace My visit to this restaurant was a bitter disappointment. The buffet was in a completely unhygienic condition: smeared containers, leftover food everywhere, and everything seemed untidy and unkempt. I don't expect something like that even in a bad canteen, let alone a restaurant. The food was tasteless, carelessly prepared and absolutely not worth €20.90. For this price I expect quality, cleanliness and at least some attention from the staff - but that wasn't there either. I found it particularly audacious that they showed no interest in my feedback when paying. I politely pointed out the grievances, but no one responded. The boss himself clearly noticed my criticism, but instead of saying something about it or at least showing a sign of interest, he simply looked down and turned away. Such behavior is absolutely disrespectful and unprofessional. Unfortunately you have to give at least one star - but honestly 0 stars would be appropriate here. I will definitely never come back and I can't recommend this place to anyone.

Great location right on the Rhine. The food isn't bad, but it doesn't match the view.

Unfortunately, unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated greatly. The breakfast buffet is m.m.n. Not recommended, more reminiscent of the GDR in 1975 in terms of selection, presentation and quality! Unfortunately, vegetarians can't eat anything except rolls and jam and a bit of fruit. In this respect, ...! In addition, prices have increased significantly.

Very nice and lovely staff, a large selection of food. And you'll feel full. We are there on Wednesdays and Fridays.❤️❤️

A great view of the Rhine, delicious food and friendly service. Gladly again

Unfortunately very expensive, you wait a long time for service, but the view of the Rhine is great. The food tastes good. But the price-performance ratio is more like 👎

Very nice atmosphere. Someone once took a lot of money into their hands. But the food is absolutely subterranean. I never want to have to eat such a bad deep fryer schnitzel with more breading than meat and dead cooked chicken wings in a pool of oil again. The taste of fat is still on my tongue now. No wonder it was so empty on a Saturday night. It's a shame, a missed opportunity to make a good impression.

Great location, fantastic view of the Rhine from the terrace. Service was friendly. Our cake and latte were rather average.

A cozy place to have something to eat and drink. Staff is nice and friendly and dogs are welcome.

Good food, great view right on the Rhine.

Rude, maybe the whole tube from Aldi was left warm on the table, opened and sticky

We celebrated our Christmas party at Wacht am Rhein and it was a thoroughly successful evening! The restaurant not only offers a wonderful view of the Rhine, but also an excellent selection of dishes. The atmosphere was festive and cozy, perfect for a special occasion like our celebration. The food was excellent, from the starters to the main courses, everything was fresh and tasted delicious. Particularly noteworthy is the attentive service, which ensured that we felt completely at home. The friendly atmosphere and the great location made our celebration unforgettable. We can definitely recommend Wacht am Rhein for special occasions.

Worth it just because of the view of the Rhine.

The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, perfect for a relaxed start to the day. The food selection is impressive—from croissants, rolls, and baguettes to delicious egg dishes and a variety of hot meals. The quality of the ingredients is particularly noteworthy, making everything even more flavorful. The service was warm and attentive, and the staff seemed genuinely committed to ensuring each guest had a memorable experience. I also enjoyed the opportunity to sample various coffee specialties, which were excellently prepared. Overall, the breakfast brunch at the café was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and relaxed start to the day. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Just a very nice restaurant!! Great food, we like to go there often :)

A beautiful place with a direct view of the Rhine. A small number of free parking spaces are available in some cases for up to 4 hours.

Fantastic view ☀️🌊 overlooking the Rhine. Great beer garden 🍻

Very nicely located and good for cycling. Eat delicious coffee and cake directly on the Rhine.

The ambience right on the Rhine is of course great. But a schnitzel with ready-made sauce and canned mushrooms doesn't work at all. Better 2-3€ more, but fresh. Service was also rather poor, we waited longer for the order and payment. Prices and portions OK, but I'd rather pay a little more and get fresh food and reasonable service. Next time (if there is one) I'll at most have a drink here.

Wonderful location directly on the Rhine. Sufficient seating available.

Very nice for soaking up the sun

One of the nicest locals I know. Friendliness, good food and a great view are very important here. Price performance and the portion for the meal are excellent. I can only recommend this place. A big thank you to the staff who always do their best for the customers 👍👍👍

Nice atmosphere where dogs are also welcome

Delicious waffles and apple strudel, great service, beautiful view!

I was there for the first time today, the service was friendly and fast. You sat in the sun, looking at the Rhine between the Leverkusen Bridge construction site and Bayer. Well, the restaurant can't help it, but the food was rather mediocre. My mushroom schnitzel was paper-thin and average in size. To my horror, the mushrooms were out of the jar...where else can you find something like that???? The sauce itself tasteless and tasteless. The only positive thing was the fried potatoes, but clearly not enough. All in all, you can get this (€15.90) ​​better in any chip shop. My partner's salad contained nothing special, a few pieces of chicken and boom: €15. Conclusion: Good service, mediocre food at a relatively high price, which cannot be justified with THE view of the Rhine. And the mushrooms from the jar are MAXIMUM PENALTY. That doesn't work at all. And for 0.3 Pils still €3.90, holla. I prefer to cook myself, but unfortunately I won't be able to visit again.

Recommend place? No. Too overcrowded because there's no other place to be found far and wide🤷 I'd rather go towards Düsseldorf or Cologne.

Wonderful location, parking spaces (attention, the public order office checks parking discs), good selection

Today we served pike perch which tasted bitter. So spoiled I then ordered a Jägerschnitzel - the schnitzel was dark brown and totally dry. Apparently it was forgotten in the deep fryer. You can get better quality in every snack bar

Als jemand der viel in Lokalen isst kann ich gut vergleichen und werde auch sicher die Preisrelation beachten. Nun, ich bin seit Jahren sporadisch und immer wieder Gast bei der Wacht am Rhein und das Essen war immer gut und reichhaltig. Auch wenn es mal voll ist keine langen Wartezeiten, - und wäre auch mit den tollen Blick auf den Rhein auch kurzweilig. Auch die wechselnden Mittagsgerichte sind gut und preiswert.

Beautiful view of the Rhine!! The Neuland Park is well attended and you can stroll further, also with great games for children!

The ambience is a bit old but the view of the Rhine is great.

Very fast service. The best thing is the cake and waffles

We were there to break. For the price of 17.90 euros for breakfast and lunch you can't expect better quality. The restaurant is getting old, the staff is quite attentive. I definitely won't eat there again.

In summer we always like to be in the Wacht am Rhein! The location right on the water is simply beautiful and the atmosphere is very relaxed. The brunch there is simply optimal - delicious selection and always freshly prepared. A perfect place for a leisurely breakfast or lunch. We're always happy to come back!

Ich schließe mich den Negativen Bewertungen an, das Ambiente ähnelt einer Krankenhaus Kantine. Die Panade meines Schnitzels löste sich nach jedem Schnitt, von den lieblosen Dosen-Pilzen in der geschmacklosen Soße möchte ich gar nicht erst anfangen. Sehr enttäuschend, meine Mutter bekam wohl ein Stück Hähnchenbrust welches vorher durch 4 geteilt wurde (hauchdünn). Man müsste uns zwingen um dort noch einmal einen Fuß reinzusetzen, nicht zu empfehlen. Wartet doch lieber auf euren nächsten Krankenhaus/Altersheim Besuch, dort erwartet euch das selbe.

I absolutely loved my visit to Wacht am Rhein! The food was not only delicious, but was also served extremely quickly. I was particularly impressed by the generous portion size - really unbeatable for the price! Added to this is the incredibly friendly staff, which made the stay even more pleasant. If you want to enjoy good food in a great atmosphere, this is the right place for you. I'll definitely be back!

It's hard to believe that this restaurant can only survive because of its location. How can people voluntarily choose such a bad restaurant? Aperol is mixed with ready-made Aperol for 6.90 from the supermarket. They would always do it this way. No Prosecco available?! The cocoa is heated from the tetra pack in the microwave and served. As a customer, you stand next to it and watch this spectacle. The staff has no knowledge of gastronomy. The complaints are laughed at. Here the customer is NOT king. The Wacht am Rhein is becoming more and more atrophied, which can be seen especially in the outdoor area. I prefer to spend my money on restaurateurs who love their craft, provide quality and great service.

Very nice location. Food and service delicious and very friendly. Enjoy the view of the Rhine and the ships while eating. We'd love to come back

Nice location, some high-priced good food

Very nice location. The food is mostly good, but more and more savings are made on brunch and buffets.

Wacht am Rhein is a great spot if you're looking for cheap food options and a place to grab a quick bite. While there isn’t a huge variety of food choices, the ones available are simple, tasty, and affordable. It’s a calm and beautiful location, perfect for enjoying a meal while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Whether you’re passing through or looking for a quiet place to relax, Wacht am Rhein offers a pleasant atmosphere. Overall, it’s a nice place for a casual stop, especially if you’re in the mood for a quick, no-fuss meal.

We were there for brunch, the price and the food were okay. The buffet was missing what exactly it would have been. Would give 3.5 stars

There were four of us on December 31st. eat here in the evening. The buffet was of very high quality, everything tasted good, and it was refilled regularly. There was a wide selection so there was something for everyone. From pork medallions, chicken wings, pork chops, roasts to pasta and fruit salad, everything was included. And all for an incredible €20.50 per person! Many other restaurants would have charged at least €30 for such a lavish buffet. We also like to come here in summer because the atmosphere outside on the large roof terrace is very pleasant. The waiters are attentive and came regularly to clear plates, ask if everything was OK or if we had any other drink requests.

Wir waren am 29.12.2024 gegen 12:30Uhr mit 3 Personen essen. Die Örtlichkeit ist ein ungemütlicher Glaskasten mit Rheinblick. Das Ambiente erzeugt wenig Gemütlichkeit aufgrund des hohen Raums und phantasieloser Einrichtung. Das Personal wirkte mürrisch, unfreundlich und unaufmerksam. Einzelne Tische waren besetzt und das Personal erzeugte durch ständiges verschieben von Tischen und Stühlen einen hohen Lärmpegel während des „Essens“. Essen in Anführungsstrichen deshalb, wir haben alle 3 schon lange nicht mehr so einen Frass serviert bekommen. Alle 3 „Speisen“ bestanden fast ausschließlich nur aus Convenience-Produkte einschließlich Salat und Soßen. Ich habe noch nie so einen grauen Lachs auf dem Teller gehabt wie hier, die Tagiatelle-Nudeln klebten an einem Stück aneinander und die Soße hatte den Charakter von geschmacklosen Kleister. Beim Schnitzel meiner Frau viel beim Anschneiden die komplette Unter-und Oberpanade in einem Stück ab und der dargereichte kleine Beilagensalat war aus der Dose und stark sauer von den vorhandenen Konservierungsmitteln. Unser Bekannter meinte nur, sein Fleisch hätte er noch nicht einmal seinen Hund angeboten. 84€ für so eine unterirdischen Frass ist schon dreist. Das einzig positive war, auch nach 24h hatte niemand von uns dreien Anzeichen von Nebenwirkungen bekommen. Wenn es die Auszeichnung gebe würde „Gastronomie des Grauens“ hätte dieser Ort große Gewinnchancen.

We had dinner with 3 people on December 29th, 2024 around 12:30 p.m. The location is an uncomfortable glass box with a view of the Rhine. The ambience does not create much comfort due to the high ceiling and unimaginative furnishings. The staff seemed grumpy, unfriendly and inattentive. Individual tables were occupied and the staff created a high level of noise during the meal by constantly moving tables and chairs. Food in quotation marks, all three of us haven't been served such food in a long time. All 3 “dishes” consisted almost exclusively of convenience products including salad and sauces. I've never had such gray salmon on my plate as here, the tagiatelle pasta stuck together in one piece and the sauce had the character of tasteless paste. When my wife's Jäger schnitzel was cut, the entire bottom and top breading fell off in one piece and the small side salad that was served was from a can and very sour from the preservatives present. Our friend just said that he hadn't even offered his meat to his dog. 84€ for such an underground mess is really audacious. The kitchen staff should be retrained as quickly as possible, the cooking should be fun and creative, which are foreign concepts here, because not every dish contained a freshly made or homemade product. The only positive thing was that even after 24 hours, none of the three of us had any signs of side effects in the intestines. If the award were “Gastronomy of Horror” this place would have a great chance of winning.

Had a spontaneous meal there at the weekend. It was very tasty and had a good selection. There was something for everyone. Always my pleasure

It was very cold and the service was a disaster. No one came to the table and asked if they wanted something to drink and took it. As I said, it wasn't nice and I won't go there again. Not recommended

Great place very friendly staff 😘 but the city of Leverkusen is very link parking 😡

At the end of November 2024, I celebrated my big birthday in the “Tower Room” at Wacht am Rhein with around 25 guests. It was an all-round successful celebration with a carefree character. I only took care of the music myself. From planning to the end, everything went well and smoothly: - uncomplicated and practice-oriented communication - high flexibility - great organization, even with short-term changes - top food/buffet - great service staff - great view - perfect price/performance ratio Both I and my guests were thrilled. I don't want to wait until the next big birthday. We will definitely find an excuse to celebrate here again and stop by the beer garden in the summer.

Unfortunately the Bombay chicken was very dry, but my colleagues' pizza was quite good. Prices are ok.

Here you pay for the ambience or location rather than the food. Unfortunately, they try to offer EVERYTHING here. From burgers to fish, schnitzel to pizza. This rarely works well. The staff also couldn't answer any allergy information. The price is way up there for small portions that can't do much. It tasted good but I can get the quality at any good snack bar. There was no change when paying so you were forced to pay a tip. I'm curious about the justification. Unfortunately nothing for me to come back again.

Horrible food and unfriendly staff! I would strongly advise anyone not to plan a visit here

10am arrival Sunday brunch. Parking spaces were already filling up. We got a nice table for 4 people and were served quite quickly and very friendly (drinks). The brunch buffet was great. Everything I like was in good quality and plentiful. The location is great: with a great view of the Rhine. The surrounding area also has a lot to offer: Neuland Park, mini golf, beach bar... Worth a visit, not just on Sundays, because I also think the other buffets are very good.

I like it here, no matter whether it's summer or winter, as long as I see water I'm more relaxed 🤷🏼‍♀️. The service is friendly and helpful. The food is good and not too expensive. I'd love to come back.

We went there for the breakfast buffet for the first time this week and were disappointed. We already knew the location, location on the Rhine with a great view. But at the breakfast buffet only 1 type of cheese, 3 types of sausage but very similar. Bread only baguette bread, muesli only cornflakes and chocolate muesli. Lots of salad choices and that for breakfast? Positively fresh fruit and different egg variations. We used pots instead of individual coffees; each pot cost €18. Of course there are several cups in there, but we didn't take any new cups and no waiter had to run several times for them. So the conclusion for us: for dinner, coffee and cake again at any time, but not the breakfast buffet again.

Sunday brunch so-so. There is 1 (one) salmon trout that is eaten after 30 minutes and is not replaced. Coffee, of all things, costs extra... 17.90 euros is quite steep for what is on offer.

The waiter was absolutely unfriendly! I had ordered liver, the mashed potatoes were cold and there was fat floating on top.. the liver was hard.. when I asked for the bill and wanted to pay separately the waiter rolled his eyes.. No hospitality and the food was bad!

The service staff was really great! Nowadays, it is rare to see a waitress being able to remember everyone's drink order in a larger group. The food came very quickly after ordering (really very quickly). Large quantities of convenience products are probably used here. Overall, my dish wasn't really hot either, everything was lukewarm, not really great with fries. Ambiance is great with a view of the Rhine.

Actually just wanted to have a coffee. But the lunch buffet looked so delicious, we decided on it spontaneously. And no regrets. Very friendly and attentive staff.

According to the live ticker today on November 4th, 2024 little attended, laughable Because it is closed, very annoying, you drive 20km😡

A nice place to stay. Some free parking, food is good.

2024 and there is no cow's milk. "We only have normal milk". (I'll leave it like that for now without comment). When asked if there was fresh tea like mint or ginger, I replied - clearly annoyed - that they weren't a hotel. Thank you for the last visit of my life

The food was reasonable for the price, you shouldn't expect fine dining, a lot of convenience...The service was good and friendly. The ambience is a matter of taste, I personally found it a bit uncomfortable. But I'd love to go again...

Were there for breakfast Once never again

Oh well. It borders on culinary terrorism. From the outside, the building looks like a run-down elementary school. Food is...well. Service good. Ambiance inside is ok. Drinks must be expensive as I paid €12 for a schnitzel on Schnitzel Day and €29.60 for three Hefeweizen. That would be around €6 per hefeweizen.

A nice place and the menu is good too. But...

Fantastic location, with unobstructed views of the Rhine. There is seating outside, but also inside. Highly recommended!

Very nice food, huge portions, good prices. Nice view of the Rhine.

We were here on a cafe trip. Gladly again

Very nice atmosphere with a terrace, nice service and a very good buffet 🤗

Very tasty dishes, large portions and friendly service

It's too full for me personally.

Everything was perfect and the prices are not that expensive. The decoration is nice with two themes (Italy and Germany). Service was quick and the waitresses were very nice. I recommend this restaurant Greetings from Alsace ;-)

Good food and excellent views of the Rhine. We'd love to come back

Place to Beer 🍻 really nice here when the weather is nice

Today I had dinner with my friend at the “Wacht am Rhein” and unfortunately we were both disappointed. In my opinion the price-performance ratio is not right! The Margherita pizza I ordered was full of fat and wasn't good. My friend was also absolutely not enthusiastic about his brawn, which was described completely differently on the menu. The staff was attentive but not friendly. You don't feel wanted as a guest and you get the feeling that the service doesn't want to do their job. I think that's a shame, because the atmosphere is really, really nice. Unfortunately there won't be another visit for me...

Friendly, clean, good selection. Gladly again

Nice view. Service was always quick, never had any problems. Food quality has deteriorated somewhat.

All you can eat - buffet We were very disappointed on Friday evening, the food looked like it had been collected from the week, everything was floating in fat, no taste, you could save yourself the money.

Jägerschnitzel with fried potatoes inedible. The sauce was very sour.

Extremely bad "lunch buffet". And if you change your mind because the food really looks 🤢, you get lukewarm fries as a return, so again 🤢🤢. And the service staff makes you feel it too... Never again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very simple food, carelessly prepared, but edible. However, I seriously wonder whether a chef actually works there. Beautiful view of the Rhine

The location is very nice, the food is designed for “mass”, there is still an elevator to the top. When it comes to staff, it depends on who you meet.

I think the food is great, super tasty home cooking at the buffet. Roast pork, braised ox cheeks, mashed potatoes, pasta, a good selection of salads with 3 different sauces, chicken wings, boiled fish, spinach, imperial vegetables with lots of hollandaise and a chicken curry, and a delicious soup, and fresh rolls...What more could you want? In addition, there is this unique view of the Rhine, a large selection of drinks, a great menu in addition to the buffet, super nice service, simply a great location for a day's vacation in between! I can highly recommend!

Undoubtedly a place that one likes to visit, even if the "gastronomic setting" could be much better.

Great menu, friendly attentive service and a great view of the Rhine. We'll be back.

Everything was very tasty. I got the cheeseburger (photo below) which was delicious. The portion was very large and enough for an adult. The service was very nice and smart. The waiter was patient and pleasant to talk to. There is an interesting atmosphere here, right on the Rhine. Definitely deserves 5 stars!!!

The location is wonderful and the service is friendly. We were happy that there were even vegan dishes on the menu. A meal we ordered (fried vegetables with boiled potatoes, vegan) was okay, but the pizza was absolutely not. The pizza Vegataria consisted of dough with cheap cheese and frozen vegetables that tasted old and watered down. I don't usually write bad reviews, but I would really advise anyone not to order this pizza.

I have never felt so uncomfortable as I did at this restaurant. The unfriendliness of the staff could not be overlooked. I didn't think anything of it and tried to put myself in their shoes. After all, it's not easy to work in the catering industry when it's 30 degrees. I actually tolerate a lot of things from waiters, but my tolerance for unfriendliness ends. A very unsympathetic staff is fatal for a catering company. . It's a shame about the money we spent there. I hope that you show more friendliness to the guests. This feeling of not being welcome made us leave the food and leave. We paid and left.

Fast service. Super nice staff. I recommend the place. The dishes are good. Good atmosphere too!

Went to the breakfast buffet today. A disgrace...as far as the offer is concerned. 1st type of cheese...indefinable....from the large pack.....2 types of sliced ​​sausage....also...large pack....the fruit salad consisted of watermelon triangles and apple slices...cold scrambled eggs or fried eggs ......I can't stop listing.....but....there wasn't much more. Soooo disappointing... sorry... impertinent.

I don't recommend the apple cake, but the service and atmosphere are very nice. I recommend you go and see it.

Very good food, nice view from the terrace and nice service.
