Zum fröhlichen Landmann in Kelkheim (Taunus)

Everything just works here. The spinach dumplings with mushroom sauce... absolutely delicious.

Bring hunger with friendly staff

A very quaint pub serving good German cuisine. The server was very friendly and attentive. If we lived nearby, we would visit again. There's a small playground in front of the pub that's a bit dated. However, children can run around and play there without worry, as the pub is only accessible on foot. (Parking is a 5-minute walk away.)

The service was excellent. My companions enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

A very nice day trip destination with the option of a guided tour. You can see various domestic animals, noble horses, and interesting architecture, among other things. A lovely beer garden and delicious food await you. You're also welcome to bring your dog.

The only gluten-free option is a salad. But it was good and fresh. Beautiful location.

Very nice place. Delicious food and great, friendly service. And all at reasonable prices.

A very nice restaurant located in the forest. A great beer garden and a large terrace. Beautiful surrounding countryside. There are various hiking trails. Plenty of parking is available.

Very delicious cakes and a good selection of dishes. Friendly service, a nice stop during a bike tour.

After a few years away, I was back in the Vordertaunus region and, of course, had to stop by the "Happy Landmann." We used to be regulars at the Happy Landmann, sometimes in large groups, and always enjoyed the good and friendly service, the excellent food, and the warmth. And even years later, the "Happy Landmann," or rather the team and the kitchen, delighted us as usual. The spinach quiche with feta, salad, and onion jam was delicious. And my companion was also delighted with the food. The whole experience was rounded off by the warmth. For that, I'm awarding it an extra star.

Nice atmosphere and delicious food. Friendly service.

We were here for dinner for the first time in ages! All I can say is, the welcome was superb, the waiter incredibly friendly and absolutely on the ball. The food, the loin and aspic, were outstanding, the cooked cheese was a dream, and the apple wine was from the Rettershof. The medlar to finish was perfect! Thank you for the lovely evening, we'll be back, without a doubt!

Great atmosphere and great service staff!!!

We were there with a larger group and were absolutely thrilled! Despite the many different requests, the service and the kitchen were really prompt. The servers were cheerful, incredibly friendly, and worked together extremely well. The food was really good, as was the value for money.

It was another very pleasant visit. The food was delicious; I especially recommend the hand cheese. The food was ready quickly, but it wasn't pre-made. The service was friendly, attentive, and prompt. Reservations are recommended on weekends.

The food is very good, but you pay the price for it. Rather customer-unfriendly is the attitude of not packaging paid-for food if there's leftovers. There's a flyer on the table from 2023, which states that the law regarding reusable packaging was changed – however, the law only applies to businesses that sell "to-go." That's not the case here. When we asked, there was no aluminum foil either – that would be legally permitted. Of course, we didn't bring our own packaging on our bike tour. It's a shame, the delicious food was seriously spoiled by this customer-unfriendly attitude. Perhaps the owner could consider changing things.

This cheerful farmer's inn is always a worthwhile destination, whether after or during a hike through the Taunus Mountains, or "just for fun" to enjoy good food and drinks. The hosts are professional and welcoming, accommodating special requests and catering perfectly to your needs. For dog owners, it's a very relaxing experience, as dogs are absolutely welcome and fresh drinking water is always available.

Delicious food and large portions for great prices! The ambiance is also lovely and fits the surroundings. The staff is friendly, and everything is clean and tidy! Definitely recommended👍

The food was really delicious, nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, my daughter couldn't finish her fried potatoes, and they couldn't take them home because there was no packaging. Understandable if you're concerned about protecting the environment—but there wasn't even a piece of baking paper or aluminum foil inside. We were told they didn't have anything to wrap it in, and it almost seemed like they'd rather just throw the food away. I honestly found that disappointing. I would have liked a bit more accommodating here. Otherwise, a nice place.

Our favorite restaurant in the area. All the dishes we've had so far have been delicious, and the service has been fast and very friendly. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Great food, fair prices, super friendly service!

Beautifully situated in the middle of the forest – the place has great potential. Unfortunately, the service was extremely inflexible. We were a large group and wanted to celebrate a special occasion, but were met with little understanding. An extra dish was brought to us by mistake, but we still had to pay for it – and there wasn't even any packaging to take it with us. When it started to rain lightly, we asked for the umbrellas to be opened, but were refused – they were only meant for the sun. It's a shame that the beautiful surroundings were so overshadowed by the poor service.

A highly recommended place! The food was fresh, delicious, and lovingly prepared. The service was friendly, attentive, and quick. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting—you immediately feel at home. I'd love to come back!

Not so flexible, the umbrellas aren't for rain, and they don't have anything to pack, but the food was was good 👍. But I can't give it more than 3 stars.

Very nice location, friendly staff. It's nice to have a beer outside. The food, however, is rather subpar, unfortunately.

The food, such as the spinach dumplings, is delicious, there is a large selection of ice cream, and today's service team was very dedicated and in a good mood.

We were a group of 10 people who came for dinner. Everyone enjoyed the food, and the service was excellent. Thank you very much.

We ate here with our running group on May 23, 2025, after a great hike. We were all very satisfied. Delicious food and cool staff 😃

For a long walk and peace I can really recommend it

This was our first time here. A very nice outdoor terrace with a view of the greenery. The service was very helpful and friendly. We were given the menu right away. The drinks and food arrived promptly. The portions were generous and very tasty. The value for money was excellent! Highly recommended!

We had our wedding feast there yesterday. It was super delicious and the service was top-notch. We felt truly at home! It's always great, really.

Good food, nice dining restaurant

Home-style cooking with very friendly and attentive service.

In short, nice weather and great location (beer garden), but beer garden closed. I could accept the fact that there may be a lack of staff and therefore no service in the beer garden. But the fact that you can't get anything to drink in the restaurant to enjoy the sun in the beer garden is unacceptable. Very sad.

We were there with the family for coffee and cake on Sunday afternoon. Very tasty and large selection of cakes. The service was super nice and quick, even though the restaurant was very busy. We would be happy to go to the cheerful countryman again.

Insanely unfriendly staff. On a spring day it was impossible to order a shandy as you had to sit at a table. Apparently there is no free table, although there is a huge terrace downstairs with chairs where you are not allowed to sit. We didn't mind carrying our own glasses. We also didn't mind drinking our drink standing up. Neither allowed. It would also be possible to offer an alternative, e.g. B. an invitation to wait at the bar. We live in the area but definitely won't be coming back.

Great place to hike, or stop by motorbike. Very nice beer garden

company holidays; but no reference to homepage

Cozy restaurant located in the forest.

Staff was very friendly and the food was also very good. Highly recommended.

Very friendly staff, very tasty food at reasonable prices, very nice inn. Cabbage roll with game meat is a delight!

Always a good address for a delicious meal in a rustic, cozy atmosphere. The service is quick and very, very friendly. As always, we felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

Home cooking that tastes good! The restaurant is rather rustic, but authentic. Homemade cake for a day trip.

Great country inn with warm and attentive service. We were there for a goose dinner with 8 people. Delicious food, very plentiful and prepared with passion. It was a pleasure and we would love to come back!

There were eight of us and we ordered 2 geese. We all agreed that we had the best goose here in years. The service was super friendly. Price/performance ratio is absolutely fine. We'd love to come back.

Very tasty, quickly on the table, service was quick, prices are fair... what more could you want

Very good home cooking. I'd love to come back

rustic country inn, Hessian specialties, home-style cooking. Nice environment. Terrace in summer

Delicious food and very nice staff

Very good home-style food. The pumpkin soup in particular was excellent with its fresh ingredients. However, the cake couldn't keep up.

We've been coming here for years, we always stop to eat here after a walk. I have to say though that two weeks ago it was a disaster, the schnitzel squirted oil when I cut it it was so soggy, the trout was so full of butter and it took a whole day to digest! We were so disappointed because it hadn't happened yet! I don't think it was the same hand in the kitchen, but a little more attention would be good, especially when the bill comes!

Fast service despite a full beer garden. Food was good. The cake is also very tasty.

Stopped in ad hoc. Good food, good beer on tap. Nice terrace. Beautiful memories of your own wedding celebration 30 years ago

Nice excursion restaurant, food and cake was delicious at reasonable prices. Service could be more on the ball and the outdoor area seems a bit "fucked up" but recommended.

To the most unfriendly countryman! On August 28, 2024, I wanted to stop for lunch in the beer garden of this restaurant with my 96-year-old father, who is severely walking and visually impaired, as so often in previous years. To our great disappointment, the beer garden was closed according to a sign and this was not stated on the internet. The reasons for this were not apparent on site. As a result, only the terrace, which is located high up and accessible via about ten steps, was obviously open. A waiter looked down at my father, who was leaning on a walker, and at me from above and shouted to us in an unfriendly manner that downstairs was closed and only service was served on the terrace. I then helped my father laboriously climb the steps to the terrace. When we got to the top we asked the waiter which table we could sit at. We were told in an unfriendly tone that if we hadn't reserved anything, nothing would be available! Of course we hadn't made any reservations because we assumed that the beer garden would be open and there would be plenty of seats and tables there. I was very disappointed and had to laboriously help my father go down the stairs to get back to the car with him. I find it extremely offensive to treat a visibly disabled person like that and I feel ashamed of this waiter. He could have told us straight away that all the tables were occupied or reserved, then my father wouldn't have had to struggle up and down the stairs! Result: We won't come here anymore!

Very pleasant German cuisine and pretty views, nice walking area around the many horse pastures.

Ebenso merkwürdig wie fast alle Läden im Taunus, schöner Biergarten mit tollem Ambiente, mitten in der Natur, leider war bisher das Wetter noch nicht so....., Keller, Karten, Bestellung, alles zügig, Getränke 2 Weizenbier, waren abgestanden und haben nicht geschmeckt, schmutzige Gläser eins mit Lippenstift, eins mit fettigen Fingerabdrücken. Die Speisekarte, langweiliger geht es kaum, warum muss eine Speisekarte in der Region 2024 noch so aussehen? Ok viel älteres Publikum, ich bin auch alt, trotzdem esse ich gerne gut und frisch, ebenso freue ich mich über neue Ideen und wechselnde Karte,. Eine Pilzsauce war mit frischen Pilzen, aber trotzdem mit der gelben Dose nachbehandelt, warum? Schnitzel.........was soll ich sagen , wahrscheinlich fertig aus dem Grosshandel und warm fritiert, dazu ein Omasalat der schon leicht vergoren schmeckte. Ich muss es nicht verstehen, irgendwie muss man doch versuchen ein gastfreundliches Bild abzugeben, dazu gehört vor allem auch Sauberkeit.....eine Grundreinigung und frischer Wind würde dem Laden wirklich gut tun, Preise waren dem Essen angemessen, ich zahle gerne mehr wenn das Produkt stimmt, und im Taunus wohnt eben das Klientel was es sich leisten kann, also Leute macht was draus.

Very well located inn with delicious food and friendly service. The beer garden and terrace are in the green. Parking within walking distance and playground for children available. Dog friendly. We will be back.

Very nice beer garden. We'd love to come back.

We were looking forward to the fitness salad and were bitterly disappointed. We were expecting crunchy fresh leaf lettuce, aromatic tomatoes, maybe some peppers or other fresh types of lettuce and beautifully golden grilled chicken breast topped with fresh cress. What was served was a soggy mess with something that vaguely looked like chicken lying around the edge. This had some herbs attached to it, which didn't make it any more appetizing. As a precaution, the waitress didn't even ask about our satisfaction when clearing away. Unfortunately, I have to say that I have never been served such a bad salad. It's a shame, because the place has potential.

The restaurant is idyllically located in the forest. I was there at lunchtime when the weather was good. The entire terrace quickly filled up. For dinner I had a Bauernschnitzel (schnitzel with mushroom sauce). The portion was very good. The schnitzels are well breaded and tasty. The fries were crispy. If you're looking for something to complain about, you could point out that the delicious side salad can be served beforehand. The drink was an elderberry rhubarb spritzer, which was very tasty and refreshing! Anyone who drives past there or visits the Rettershof should also stop here.

The award “The 50 best village inns in Hesse” is emblazoned right on the first page of the menu. After we ate here, I wonder if there are perhaps only 50 village inns in all of Hesse, because that would explain to me why this restaurant is part of the top 50. My wife's salad with goat cheese was probably quite tasty, but I would have preferred to cook my Goethe Schnitzel at home. Two small schnitzels, both of which were unfortunately far from crispy and tasteless, on a rather large pile of fried potatoes, which were partially burnt and completely unseasoned. What can I say about the green sauce, I completely missed the egg here, the taste is much better in every apple wine bar in Frankfurt Sachsenhausen. There wasn't enough green sauce to go with the mass of fried potatoes, so I ordered a second portion. This costs €3.30, which is ok since the restaurateur doesn't have anything to give away, but you should kindly let them know briefly. The service seemed a bit overwhelmed due to the large number of guests.

Very tasty food, I can really recommend it

Excellent place to rest, especially in the garden in summer. Good quality food. Highly recommended.

Turned away at the door at 7:30 p.m.! Excellent! This was a new attempt after a few years! Because it was already modest with a fat negative review! For me the waiter is an active negative example of good service! It was already lower class back then! And I don't think it's gotten any better! Was the last attempt! Never again!

Very nice restaurant and delicious food. We had the trout Müllerin. The service was also impeccable. We'd love to come back.

We celebrated our wedding there 2 years ago in a small group and didn't regret it! The food + the service and the ambience are simply great! We've been coming by several times since then and are always thrilled with the food and the super nice staff!! :)

Very nice restaurant with pleasant prices and great service! Gladly again!

Zum cheeren Landmann enjoys an excellent reputation and since we are big fans of the rettershof, we wanted to try out the restaurant “Zum cheeren Landmann”. We were greeted warmly and given a seat outside on the terrace. The restaurant was well attended and you could clearly tell that the two men in service were having a hard time keeping up. After a while our drinks and food orders would be taken. Both the drinks and food came so quickly that I was amazed. The fried potatoes tasted soggy and old, as if they had been warmed up in the microwave. The same applied to the veal schnitzel. The quality of the meat was good, but here too the schnitzel was prepared in advance and only heated up later. The green sauce was also a bitter disappointment. Far too few herbs and far too liquid. The side salad was soaked in vinegar and also not to be enjoyed. My wife had the baked goat cheese with salad. Here too, the cheese was simply warmed up and a honey sauce was poured over it. At the end of the day, the schnitzel dish cost 27 euros and the goat cheese dish cost 15 euros, but unfortunately it was an absolute failure.

We were there for lunch and coffee with 16 people on June 1st, 2024 on the occasion of our golden wedding anniversary. Everyone enjoyed the food excellently, and the selection of drinks left nothing to be desired. It was also important that the dishes were served on preheated plates and that there were no delays with individual dishes. Ice cream sundaes and cakes are great. The service was very attentive and repeatedly asked whether everything was to our satisfaction. We can fully agree with this. Our conclusion: Highly recommended and would be happy to come again at any time.

This was the second time I went to dinner at the cheerful Landmann with a large group and I was thrilled again! Unfortunately we arrived 45 minutes later and that wasn't a problem at all. We were served again in a friendly, funny and quick manner! The drinks and food arrived very quickly and the food was still very fresh, hot and really tasty! The menu offers everything you need, except rum steaks. I'm not a vegetarian, but luckily there are great dishes for vegetarians. Thanks for the good food and the nice service! The written pre-arrangement was also perfect and we would even have had a table set outside if the weather had been right. So thank you very much and see you next time!

The food was ok and the price was right. The side dishes were a bit bland, especially the fried potatoes. We had Trout Müllerin with boiled potatoes and brawn with fried potatoes. There was a great salad plate with the dishes. The location is very nice, just a classic forest restaurant.

All around great. A paradise for children, riders and hikers. Unfortunately, prices have risen sharply here too.

Beautiful beer garden with seats in sun and shade. Great hearty food and big portions (no you don't need extra chips!). Good selection of vegetarian options - spinach and feta quiche is great, as are the Spinatknödel. Wonderful walking nearby too.

It was very cold in the restaurant, so they probably saved on the heating and couldn't take our jackets off

Nice, rustic inn with a full kitchen with plenty of seating inside and outside! A variety of dishes, including vegetarian ones, and seasonal cuisine, such as wild garlic soup. Friendly service even with many guests! We recommend!

When the weather is nice, you can sit outside here and enjoy nature and the great selection of food and/or cakes. The service staff are very attentive and the food has never disappointed us.

5 stars are absolutely deserved here! Star No. 1: For the very friendly staff - please always stay like that, that's very important in today's times! :-) Star No. 2: For the absolutely fantastic food, super delicious schnitzel, fries, salad, everything was great! Star No. 3: for the beautiful location in the middle of the forest, with a small children's playground Star No. 4: For the absolutely reasonable prices - hopefully it stays that way! :-) Star No. 5: For the overall package - everything is just right here! To be honest - I actually like to criticize - but there is nothing to criticize here - so - keep it up! :-)

Very nice place to visit. Enjoy your meal. Friendly service.

We had very contradictory experiences here, especially with the service, and the food was sometimes good for us, sometimes not.

After a long walk you can recharge your batteries here. When the weather is good it's nice to sit outside, but it's also nice to sit inside. Reservations make sense!!!

Ambiance A1! The food here is good so far. Eaten schnitzel with mushroom cream starter and dessert. Schnitzel almost a proud 20 euros. It seems to be fashionable at the moment to take so much. Portion size 'ok'. Beer around 6 euros a half liter. But it's not noticeable because there's no more than 0.4 liters here. Pretty awesome for a place that is also used as a beer garden. these are Oktoberfest prices. You have to be able to afford it first. Service very good, attentive. Friendly. A little too fast. I would have preferred more time for my beer, or a second one. After less than 5 minutes the main course was on the table along with a side salad. Drinks sales are definitely lost here with this lightning service. It's better to give beer cheaper and more time to drink and order. However, dessert was not a highlight. For a creme brulee for almost 10 euros, I expect fresh caramelization and not a pre-caramelized cold crust and still cold cream. Obazda was a finished product. But ok, I'll just let that slide. Spaetzle is fresh but not homemade. Otherwise very comfortable. Nice counter man. Mega great view and the way there is also fantastic. Beer garden is super nice. Clean toilets and clean, orderly restaurant. No mass-produced beer but a well-stocked drinks menu with smaller brands and local beers from southern Germany (Franconia).

Unfortunately closed. Without information...

We found the restaurant spontaneously after a hike and only had a little something to eat and drink. Since we liked the atmosphere on the terrace so much, I've sometimes been there at lunchtime with my work colleagues or with friends after further hikes. There is a very good selection of vegetarian dishes and the service is great too. The price-performance ratio is also good. If necessary, you should make a reservation in advance, especially on weekends, as it can get very crowded. Edit: I was there again recently with two friends and two dogs after hiking. After asking in advance, we were told that dogs were not a problem. When we got there there was even a “greeting from the kitchen” for the two little ones and a water bowl. That was really sweet and only confirmed my positive impression of the place.

Very tasty, very friendly, plentiful. Absolute minus point for not being able to pack leftovers. I would also have liked to pay something for the packaging. Sending good food to the trash still annoys me today. Next time I'll order a soup or something small.

It's really cozy here. We ended up here by chance because we wanted to grab a bite to eat. Given the very varied menu with many vegetarian and vegan dishes, we then decided on a main course. We will definitely come back here and are very happy to have discovered this gem.

On Boxing Day evening we went to “Zum glücken Landmann” for a family dinner. Even after the long celebration weekend, everything on the menu was still available (that's not the case everywhere). From the schnitzel to the loin to the goose breast, everything tasted very good, the side dishes were fresh and varied, and the portion sizes were appropriately large. Price-performance ratio is appropriate and good. Nice, attentive service. Clear recommendation and thanks to the kitchen. We'd love to come back.

Als Einzelgast wurde ich nach unten verfrachtet, und weil es da unten nur Riesentische gibt, ein Einzeltisch aufgstellt zwischen Garderobe und Durchgangsbereich, da wo die Gäste alle durchstiefeln. Ungemütlicher ging es nicht. Das Essen war ok (Matjes Hausfrauen), aber das Ambiente unterirdisch und der Wirt burschikos. Selten habe ich mich so unwohl gefühlt in einem Restaurant.

The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and you immediately felt at home. The food was also delicious and ready quite quickly despite the full house. The staff is very friendly. What I also noticed positively was that animals and children are very welcome, which is often unusual in restaurants. Our son (1.5 years old), who is a real hustler, was fooled around and treated with real kindness. We will definitely come here again. An absolute recommendation.

Very unfriendly for children! The food was good, but it's better to leave children at home. Addendum: We expected the answer. Our son didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he didn't run or scream. In addition, as always, we made sure that no one was disturbed unnecessarily. The rude staff that is mentioned in several reviews is in most cases the boss herself... The employees were visibly uncomfortable with their behavior. By the way, this is not an isolated case!

Unser Lieblingslokal seit Jahrzehnten. Das Essen ist immer klasse, es gibt von herzhaft-klassisch bis regional-individuell viel Auswahl. Toll, einfallsreich und sehr köstlich ist auch die Auswahl an Kuchen und Torten! Ich persönlich liebe ja auch die kleinen Plätzchen, die es zum Kaffee und Cappuccino gibt. Immer liebevoll selbstgemacht und sehr lecker!

Super leckeres essen,der Kellner war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Immer wenn wir in Fröhlichen Landmann sind fühlen wir uns sehr wohl.Die Angenehme Atmosphäre würde dieses Mal leider durch ein Kind am Nachbar Tisch gestört,das anscheinend das Restaurant mit einem Indoorspielplatz verwechselt hat und mir lauten Sirenengeräusche durch das Restaurant lief. Wir müssen leider immer öfter beobachten,das Eltern hier nicht eingreifen und ihre Sprösslinge einfach laufen lassen . Dabei wäre es so einfach die Kinder am Tisch zu beschäftigen mit einem Spiel oder Malsachen Die Bedienung tat uns richtig leid,als sie dann noch von der Mutter des Kindes angeschnauzt würde . Dabei hatte sie nur darauf hingewiesen das die andere Gäste bitte nicht gestört werden sollen. Naja eltern haben dafür anscheinend kein Verständnis . Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gern wieder und freuen uns schon darauf

Sehr gemütlich hier, leckere Speisen für jeden Geschmack und sehr aufmerksamer Service! Wir kommen wieder 😉

Perfekt für eine Einkehr nach einer schönen Wanderung auf den Waldwegen rund um den Rettershof. Das Essen schmeckt vorzüglich, der Service ist höflich. Es wird jedoch an jedem Tisch schriftlich darauf hingewiesen, daß kleine Kinder sich bitte wie Erwachsene zu benehmen haben.

Nach längerem mal wieder Samstagabend hier gegessen. Gute Hausmannsküche mit schönen Wildgerichten, deutsche Küche in rustikalem Umfeld - Schön. Freundlich und schnell bedient worden, alles sauber in gemütlicher Athmosphäre. Wir kommen wieder.

Keine Sonderwünsche möglich. Bedienung tippte wie bei MCD die Bestellung gleich in den stationären PC. Für uns gibt es keine Wiederholung dort.

Vielen Dank für den tollen Abend. Es war eine rundum gelungene Veranstaltung. Hervorragendes Essen, Klasse Service. Jederzeit wieder.

Leckeres Schnitzel, freundliche Bedienung.

So lecker habe ich schob lange nicht mehr gegessen. Absolut gemütlich und superfreundliche Menschen dort. Ein Traum.

11.10.2023 das Thermometer zeigt für diese Jahreszeit außergewöhnliche 25°C an, tagelang wurde der Spätsommer angekündigt - nun war er da. Rauf aufs Rad und ab in den Vordertaunus. Nach knapp einer Stunde bergauf radeln, Ankunft beim „fröhlichen Landmann“. Wobei es mit der Fröhlichkeit nicht besonders weit her war. Die wirklich großzügige Lokalität, war bis auf die kleine Terrasse direkt am Haus nicht bespielt, sprich nicht geöffnet. Alle Tische waren besetzt und wir entschlossen uns dazu an einem Tisch mit netten Gästen zu fragen, ob wir uns dazusetzen dürften. Diese bejahten dies, sie seien ohnehin gerade beim bezahlen. Die männliche Bedienung eine von zweien, ein mürrischer, etwas beleibter Enddreißiger, graunte uns beim Abkassieren ohne Gruß, sogar ohne uns eines Blickes zu würdigen an: „Da unten warten noch zwei Andere!“ Verblüfft, weil er weiter nichts sagte fragte ich ihn ob wir dann das Lokal wieder verlassen sollen, was dieser mit einem Schulterzucken unbeantwortet ließ. Unter dem Kopfschütteln anderer Gäste packten wir unsere Sachen und verließen diesen „fröhlichen“ Ort wieder. Und die Moral von der Geschichte: Gutes Personal scheint wirklich schwer zu bekommen sein. Freundlichkeit, Begrüßung, „wie kann ich Ihnen helfen“, „ich kümmere mich gleich um Sie“, also Dienstleistungs- und Serviceorientierung sind im aktuellen Zeitgeschehen untergegangen und zählen nicht mehr. Steigende Preise, sinkende Qualität bei Speisen und Personal … ich sehe noch düstere Zeiten auf die Gastronomie zukommen. Gottseidank gibt es ‚noch‘ genügend Ausflugziel-Alternativen im Taunus. Ein paar Minuten mit dem Rad weiter kehrten wir dann in der „Roten Mühle“ in Bad Soden ein. Ebenso herrlich im Wald gelegen, offensichtlich auf das gute Wetter vorbereitet mit freundlichem Personal und dem ausgesprochenen Willen, den Gästen eine schöne Zeit in ihrem Lokal zu bereiten. Ein großen Bogen um den „fröhlichen Landmann“ zu machen fällt uns in Zukunft nicht schwer.
