Wolperding in Essen

Our regular restaurant, delicious food and drinks.

Simply great food and friendly service

Delicious chicken, we were there again after years, the atmosphere didn't seem that great, outside or inside, but once you find the entrance, the chickens aren't far away😆

Nice location, also very easy to reach for cyclists. Very tasty chicken 😋

The ambience, the food and especially the service are great! I would give this place 5 stars if it weren't for the disgusting smoking area. Directly in front of the only entrance is a tiny, closed(!) anteroom where smokers crowd like sardines in a can. Not only do you have to squeeze through it to get in and out, the smoke also blows in all the time through the broken door that doesn't close properly. We also had probably the worst table in the entire store, right by that door. It smelled like smoke the whole time and after visiting there my clothes and hair stink.

Chicken was even halal, extremely tasty, the smell alone was unbelievable. I really enjoyed it and would love to come back again and again. 10/10 everything great!!

It's not what it used to be Service was friendly, there was less choice, the taste was good but not as good as before. Price performance doesn't fit. Too bad

Always a pleasure, It was very tasty...

Very, very tasty, always worth a bike tour.

Chicken and chicken and chicken. Really tasty and all at a good price. The service is phenomenal 🫶

Super tasty checkmark nice service. price-performance is very good

Very tasty chicken and super friendly and funny service!

Nice bar for socializing, good beer and good food.

Very nice restaurant in the heart of one of the Ruhr area cities, in the Kray district of Essen on the border with Gelsenkirchen-Rotthausen. I've been eating and drinking there for several years, no matter what time of year. It's always nice & the staff is very attentive, courteous & quick.. Just like in the Ruhr area ☺️. Gladly again soon!! Greetings from Bochum-Wattenscheid

We had dinner here during the weekday evening. The umbrellas were opened especially for us because it might rain. That was nice. As usual, we ordered at the counter outside. Unfortunately, food arrived very fragmented and at least 20 minutes apart. Of course that wasn't great. My son had a children's menu with a drink. This was served to him in a plastic cup and he was even allowed to choose the color. So far so good. When he finished drinking, I noticed that the entire bottom of the cup was covered in black mold. I went to the empty counter (3 employees, no customer) and “complained”. The only response was "Oh, that's not good." I don't expect anything big for it. Maybe a new drink could have been offered. But there wasn't even a "sorry, I'm sorry." or similar. The playground is quite nice for children. However, no child stepped directly into feces. Should perhaps be checked before the store opens if you offer a sandpit for guests. The chicken was delicious, but the dried-out slice of carrot that was included as a decoration should be left out given the sight and price. Then it's better to do nothing at all. The chicken tastes really good and is also nice and juicy. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case for a while. The tables in the self-service area also have spots that are partly rotten. Overall, I was unfortunately not satisfied with my visit.

Very nice atmosphere with good service

Friendly and fast staff. Price performance is completely okay. Cocktails great

... the best chicken ever! Really worth it!

I was curious about the location and went there to eat! I ordered the chicken special and am very disappointed with it. Afterwards I had severe stomach pain and problems. Unfortunately it was the last time for me.

Nice beer garden with great food. The chicken is particularly recommended. We love coming there, mostly by bike.

Here you sit under old trees. The atmosphere is relaxed and warm. Drinks and food are ordered at a central point and payment is made straight away. Food is then brought to the table. But there is also a service area. The chicken here is a delight. When the weather is nice it gets really crowded. Sometimes loud too. Coffee wonderful. I enjoy being here alone, with friends and family.

Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately it's no longer the way it used to be. We have been traveling from Essen city center for many years, but are no longer satisfied. The chickens are smaller and more expensive and no longer really crispy. It's a shame we won't be coming anymore. The team behind the outside counter is top

Very tasty chicken, fresh salad and the potato wedges were crispy. Prices are okay.

Super delicious food in a nice outdoor beer garden atmosphere. Always happy, great.

Delicious chicken. At peak times it takes a while for the food to arrive. One or two orders are sometimes forgotten. But the service makes up for it with its friendliness. I like to go to Wolperding often. It's worth it.

The chicken is simply unbeatable, I particularly like the herb/garlic version. There were also delicious fries and a coleslaw. The atmosphere is rustic. Very large beer garden! The service was super fast and very friendly, and the prices are absolutely fair. I'll definitely be back!

Very tasty chicken. Staff quite friendly.

Little Hänchen dream about side dishes is debatable

Die Bedienung sehr freundlich. Das Hähnchen knusprig und gut gewürzt. Die Holzstühle sehr hart. Warum nur einen Stern? Ich habe eine Verletzung und kann keine Treppen und schon gar nicht diese Art Wendeltreppe gehen. Ich bin fassungslos, das man keine Behindertentoilette hat. Auch wie in manch anderen Restaurants keinen Fahrstuhl. Das fällt einem erst auf, wenn man ein Problem hat. Nun handelt es sich um ein altes Gebäude. Auch dort kann man handeln, aber die meisten sind nicht bereit, dafür Geld auszugeben und Tische dafür zu opfern. Wir haben uns darüber wirklich sehr aufgeregt. Das Ergebnis war, wir mussten vorzeitig fahren, weil ich dringend auf die Toilette musste. Wie traurig und enttäuschend für alle Menschen die eine Einschränkung haben. Auch wenn sie bei mir nur kurzfristig ist.

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere. Friendly and competent service.

Delicious spicy chicken. Take care fries are not included and you have to order them separately :)

Were there today with friends, asked if there was anything available on the terrace and it worked 😃 The service was great, we had someone at our side who really likes his job😃 The food was simply delicious, compliments to the kitchen 😃 We always enjoy coming there to eat delicious chicken😃

Top location! Great chicken, delicious fries, good beer. When it's warm, great outdoor area. Shade everywhere and a small playground.

Best chicken ever!!! ...the currywurst is also really tasty...the service is good...the beer garden is really big with a playground! TOP👍🏻for families...and the outside counter can be reached quickly and easily from anywhere! Always my pleasure! ❤️

Okay, I went to the public viewing, so the 2-0 win against Hungary counts almost more than the rest. But regardless of that, friendly service, in the beer garden area you order yourself, pay, take the drink with you, and the food comes to the table. The food was delicious and plentiful (nachos), you sit under the trees in the sun, everything was great.

The quarter piece of dried radish as a decoration on the chicken plate doesn't have to be there. You ask yourself what's the point???

THE NUMBER 1 WHEN IT COMES TO CHICKEN!!!

Great beer garden and friendly staff. Because it's located on a side street, you can sit comfortably and quietly in a small garden under the trees. The fried chicken is great - in all variations (although "extra hot" also means extra hot here).

Food was very good and plentiful, also a nice selection of drinks. Chicken in various variations, classic or as burgers, nuggets, etc. The service was on point and always very friendly. And last but not least, the environment in the old industrial hall of the former Bonifacius colliery is great in itself. Unfortunately, the most difficult thing is actually getting a place. On the third attempt it worked on a weekday evening.

Great restaurant, highly recommended

Great store, highly recommended, I like going there

Thank you, “Geckele” always tastes consistently delicious!

Wolperding is known for its 1/2 chicken variations. Yummy! Other quick dishes are also on the menu, such as salads, fries, currywurst and chicken nuggets. Friendly service and the beer garden on historic grounds.

Here you'll find the best grilled chicken ever...

Nice pub in an old mine building, large, shady beer garden right by the winding tower. Delicious grilled chicken.

Very good food in a nice atmosphere 😉

We went there today for the normal chicken 8.40 and the spicy 8.90. We now feel it's too expensive, my chicken was small and dry under the skin, it's a shame 🥴It was the last time we were there to eat chicken 👍

Very nice atmosphere, the food is okay, everything is fresh and tasty, the selection is manageable. The service is friendly. We have enjoyed coming here for many years and enjoy the food, drinks, the atmosphere and the pleasant crowd.

Wir waren aufgrund vieler Empfehlungen zum ersten mal da. Die Location an sich sieht gut aus. Aufgrund der Jahreszeit haben wir drinnen gesessen und gegessen. Es ist drinnen sehr eng, die Sitzmöglichkeiten sind unbequem und es ist sehr laut, sodass man sich nicht gut unterhalten konnte (Bahnhofsatmosphäre). Das Essen war okay, aber sehr übersichtlich. Das halbe Hähnchen war klein und hatte nicht so viel Fleisch dran. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Unfortunately we were often “forgotten”, but the staff was very nice. In my opinion, the food is okay, but not a highlight.

It has become quite expensive there

Food was delicious, it was just very loud.

Alles hat super geschmeckt. Alles war sehr sauber und das Personal war super freundlich. Sehr gemütlich trotz Schneefall

Nice beer garden, they're not nice, everything's getting old, small menu, but people come here for the chicken anyway

Super tasty chicken and great beer garden

Always great! This time we had the large nacho plate as a starter and then half a chicken "special" each and fries with mayo. Simply delicious! The service was attentive and nice. The atmosphere is attractive and cozy. We like to come back every time.

Down to earth, tasty and very friendly service. Gladly again.

Good beer garden atmosphere with delicious chicken!

Anyone who likes chicken will love Wolperding. And everyone else too, for that matter.

Always my pleasure. In my opinion the best chicken in all of Essen. Also great atmosphere with friendly staff

Wolperding is like our local pub. The atmosphere in the old electrical workshop at Zeche Bonifacius is really great and cozy. The beer garden with a view of the old wage hall and the Bonifacius headframe is a good choice in summer. It is quite loud in the restaurant and conversations are difficult. The service is very good! Always nice and friendly! Waiting times are usually not that long. Things used to be different. The choice of food is relatively limited. Vegetarians and vegans can choose between a vegan burger and salads, as well as wedges and fries as side dishes, both of which are also recommended! However, most guests probably come here for the delicious chicken anyway. And they really are a pleasure... You can choose between classic, Bonifacius and spicy. There are other variations depending on the season. My favorite is Bonifacius, which has herbs...😋 Another note to the operators of the Wolperding in Essen Kray: It would be nice if you didn't leave the smoking area in the entrance to the restaurant, but instead found another option. It's not nice when you have to go through the area when you go in and out...

Have been there several times, not the last time. Super delicious food and a great team

Great 👍🏽 Food is delicious & the service was great. Thanks

Very nice beer garden with a colliery setting, super tasty chicken.

A slightly different restaurant, but delicious!

Great ambience (something different) beautiful large beer garden with play options for children. The food was very tasty and the service was unobtrusive and very friendly. It certainly wasn't the last time 😃

Delicious chicken and other dishes!

I've already rated it. Is good shop for chicken and beer. The outside area is really nice. Always up for it.

Very good service, great ambience and delicious food! What more could you want!

It's very nice to sit in and the ambience is really nice with its industrial charm. Because you're sitting in a hall, the background noise is quite high, but that's okay due to the design. The service was very good; we were regularly but unobtrusively asked if we wanted anything else. The chicken is also very good, and a small Bonifatius salad as a side dish is highly recommended. Prices are also absolutely reasonable. We will definitely come back, especially in summer when you can use the beautiful beer garden.

Simply a great beer garden with the best chicken in the world.

Very nice location with a truck stop mentality. The half chicken special (very spicy) is awesome, great.

We were there as soon as it opened and were able to sit down at our reserved table. The very friendly and attentive service served us immediately and very, very friendly and it stayed that way.....the food was super delicious 😋 😋 😋 and the cocktails 🍸 too.....an all around nice stay.... always my pleasure.

Highly Recommended ! It has also become a regular place for the whole family 👍🏼

**** Very nice atmosphere with a large beer garden. The chicken is simply divine 🍗🍺🍟 You definitely have to try it 👍 But the other dishes are also delicious ****

Parking problematic. Food didn't convince me. Prices overpriced. Staff nice and funny. Ambience ok

Very nice and friendly service. The chicken is highly recommended. There are different flavor variations. I can only recommend.

I've been a regular customer at Wolperding for just over 10 years now, and this is the best spot for half a chicken, perfectly seasoned, wonderful crispy skin. There really is no better half chicken than this trust me!!

Large beer garden. Super tasty chicken

Eine Auswahl leckerer Salate und köstliche Hähnchen-Variationen für jeden Geschmack.

Freundlich, gut, schnell und urig

Sehr nettes Personal, faire Preise . Abholung ist hier möglich.

Nicht nur der Biergarten ist Klasse.

Das Essen ist wirklich sehr lecker und das Personal super freundlich und mit den Preisen stimmt auch alles.Man kann zu jeder Zeit dort essen gehen, denn sie haben sowohl für den Sommer eine Anlage mit Bar draußen als auch noch einen Innenbereich wo man immer sitzen kann.Familien mit Kindern kann ich wärmstens empfehlen hier im Sommer hin zu kommen, da man seine Kinder gut auf dem Spielgerüst beobachten kann und währenddessen essen kann. Bekannt ist das Wolperding für sein hervorragendes Hähnchen in drei verschiedenen Varianten. Mein absoluter Favorit ist hierbei, dass Hähnchen Bonifacius, welches ich Leuten empfehle die für Knoblauch zu haben sind allerdings auch für leckere Kräuter. Also kurz zusammengefasst: Gutes Essen für gute Preise serviert von guten Leuten. Wir kommen immer gerne : )

Seit zwanzig Jahren immer wieder zu Gast bei Wolperding. Das sind die besten Gegrillten Hähnchen in Deutschland. 20Jahre immer die gleiche 100 Prozentige Qualität.

nette Location im Industrielook mit frischen Hähnchen

Hervorragende Grillhähnchen, die Beilagen schmecken natürlich auch sehr lecker. Tolles Ambiente und sehr freundlicher Service. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Einfach nur lecker 😋 Wenn ihr auf cocktails steht, da nehmt die im Angebot sind, die kommen in Blumenvasen Form einfach nur geil. Die Hänchen sind super fwürz für jeden was dabei, salate sind sehr groß (auch die kleinen)

Wir waren mit ca 40 Leuten auf Vereinsausflug und sind im Lokal eingekehrt. Wir haben dort ein herausragendes Buffet bei freundlicher Bedienung erleben dürfen. Top Empfehlung auch für größere Gruppen natürlich nach vorheriger Anmeldung.

Der Service war freundlich und sehr gut. Das Essen ist Hausmannsküche als Ruhrpott. Ich hatte Wirsing Rouladen mit Kartoffeln. Portion war gut bemessen und sehr lecker. Tisch und Stühle sind recht einfach, dafür derEingangsbereich sehr schön. Tolle Kronleuchter wie frühere Zechenbirnen. Mal etwas völlig anderes.

Aussengastronomie ist gut, das Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Das Essen kam schnell und war sehr lecker

Also das Essen war klasse Und der blonde Kellner war mega ein echt Netzer Kerl der seinen Beruf scheinbar liebt...schnell , schlau und immer einen guten Witz parat Als ein Freund und ich da waren saßen hinter uns zwei eher schwierige Menschen Er war ganz cool und ging auf ihre Müll Kritik ein und meisterte die Situation super Ich komme gerne wieder

Biergarten mit Speiseangebot. Sehr schönes Ambiente und sehr leckeren gegrillten Hähnchen. Ideal um eine Pause bei schönem Wetter einzulegen.

Das Preis Leistungsverhältnis ist nicht wirklich ok, derService dagegen super, Leider sind uns Ratten über die Füße gelaufen, was den Abend schnell beendete

Sehr sehr lecker und sehr freundliches personal.klare Empfehlung

Schön gelegen, man sitzt aber recht unbequem und das Essen (Salat) hat nicht überzeugt.

Die besten Hähnchen im Ruhrgebiet. Man sitzt schön unter alten Bäumen und die Kinder können spielen. Im Biergarten ist leider Selbstbedienung mit etwas Wartezeit.

Toller Biergarten, leckeres Essen, vor allem sind die Hähnchen sehr zu empfehlen

Super Hähnchen,, im Winter gibt es eine Geschmack Richtung mehr... 🍀

Wer auf Geflügel steht ist hier richtig. Preis/ Leistung passt, Service auch.
