Zur Alten Tanke Engstlatt in Balingen

We were here today and were very impressed. The food was excellent, and the service was very friendly. We highly recommend it. We'd love to come back and recommend you to others. Keep up the good work.

Very tasty food and reasonable prices ;) super friendly service, would go back!

We happened to be nearby today and went there spontaneously. The food was very good...Turkish specialties from the charcoal grill.

Beautiful terrace, comfortable seating, great service, and very attentive staff. We had a rag salad, which was delicious and beautifully presented. We're looking forward to more dishes and will definitely be back. Keep up the good work 👍

Two of us spontaneously went there for lunch today. It was very good. The atmosphere on the newly designed terrace is very cozy. The interior, especially the restrooms, are newly designed and very clean. The food (half a chicken with bread and a chicken skewer with fries) was delicious and tasted great! The meat on the chicken skewer was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy. The chicken was super crispy and tender. Both dishes were beautifully presented. The staff is very polite and attentive. All around: TOP!

The atmosphere is good, but the food isn't worth mentioning. Especially not for the price, it's way too expensive (the cheapest meal: a doner kebab for €11?!). Any kebab shop is much better, both in terms of taste and price. If the service was at least good and took your order correctly, I would have put up with it, but unfortunately, you don't get what you order anyway (4 people and no one got what they wanted). Be it food or drinks (I ordered an export beer and got a wheat beer in half a jug?!). I wouldn't recommend it!

We were there today for the first time since it reopened. The outdoor area is great, and the service is good. We had chicken with bread, which was delicious. We'll definitely be back and try other dishes.

A nice day-trip restaurant with a busy beer garden, often resulting in limited parking. German-Turkish food is at the typical beer garden level.

Very nice beer garden with sun until the last hour, the grill is quite good but very overpriced for a kebab shop, hence the overall rating.

Definitely The food was delicious

Very good food, very friendly staff!

The food was delicious. The staff and service were extremely friendly and attentive! I'd be happy to come back anytime, and I highly recommend it.

Very good Turkish food. We had the grill plate for four people and had a real struggle, so the portions were more than sufficient!

Very friendly service, delicious food, good traditional Turkish cuisine. We really enjoyed it. We will definitely come back.

The food was incredibly delicious. Dessert was so delicious.

It was okay. I had a doner kebab with soft cheese. The meat was tasty, but the bread crust was unfortunately too thin, so it fell apart. There wasn't enough sauce, so everything was a bit dry. My colleague unfortunately had oversalted fries, but I tried them. Service was okay. The waitress was really helpful and friendly, she just had her hands full. The atmosphere isn't ideal, you can't really long for peace and quiet; it's right on the street, but that's okay.

Excellent food selection. Very child-friendly. Simply a winner.

Super friendly Great food Very kid-friendly We'll definitely be back 😊👍

Food was promised until 11 p.m. Arrived at 10:15 p.m., kitchen closed. The website said kitchen was open until midnight. Thanks, a waste of time. Never again. Unfortunately, you have to give it one star; otherwise, there wouldn't be any.

They called specifically and received confirmation that the kitchen was to be open until midnight. At around 10 p.m., we were ignored for a while and saw that the grill and everything else was being cleaned, and then we had to wait another 10 minutes for the manager because of a phone call.

I went there and turned back, the times weren't kept, I arrived at 10:15 PM, and the kitchen was closed. So apparently, you can't rely on their word either...

The food is very nice, the vegetables are very good, I loved this dish very much, those who want to come immediately, look at the comments.

I love this shop because Coca-cola comes in ice. I loved the food and vegetables. The service is fast.

Newly renovated, great beer garden!

First, I had to wait half an hour for the waiter before I could order a drink. He said he'd bring the menu, and after three-quarters of an hour, I went to get it myself. When I finally ordered a large schnitzel, another half hour later, a small one arrived. Absolutely a thumbs down. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

We had a reservation once, but were ignored at the front desk and sat down ourselves. Later guests took their drinks and food first. We had to wait half an hour for the menu. Some of the food arrived incorrectly, and we had to wait at least 15 minutes for cutlery. The service was anything but great. Communication between the staff was nonexistent. We were very dissatisfied. The food itself wasn't bad, but we wouldn't come back again.👎👎👎

The two of us went to eat at the Alte Gaske (Old Gas Station). My food came right away, but my colleague had to wait a very long time – even when I was finished, he still didn't have his food. That's unacceptable. Very disappointing. As a result, we didn't order the second meal.

Essen war sehr gut, die Bedienung sehr bemüht., freundlich, kam alles relativ schnell :) das Fleisch auf dem Gemischten Grillteller super.. bissle mehr Pommes aber sonst Mega lecker :D

You have to experience something like this to be believed. I've never seen a restaurant where things were more haphazard and chaotic than here. This is experiential gastronomy...

This was our first time at the Alte Tanke and we were absolutely thrilled! The food was very good, and the service was friendly and attentive. What was especially nice was that our little girl got a free ice cream – a really nice gesture. We'd love to come back and highly recommend the Alte Tanke!

I picked something up for the first time today. I had chicken with fries and sauce. The chicken was perfect, the fries were a dream, only the salad was a bit watery. The kids had schnitzel with fries and sauce. The portion was normal, I can only say wow, those are decent portions. The taste was very good. My wife had the grilled platter. She said it tasted great. However, it could have been a bit juicier. But the service when we picked it up was top-notch. The price was amazing, and all in all, a great meal. We only have a 5-minute walk there, and we know that from now on, we'll leave the kitchen cold on Sundays and come to you. Thank you.

The food is excellent. The doner meat is the best I've had in this area so far, ultra-tender and very well seasoned. So far, I can highly recommend the doner kebab plate and the mixed grill plate. Service is still a bit chaotic when it's busy, but I'm sure that will improve over time.

Die ersten Getränke kamen schnell. Die speisekarte habe ich nach 30min selber geholt und das Essen kam dann 40 min später im Abstand von je 15 min pro Person. Ein zweites Bier ist ausgefallen da keiner kam. Schade eigentlich bei der location

The first drinks arrived quickly. After 30 minutes, I finally got the menu myself, despite asking repeatedly. I then had to order at the counter. The food (doner kebab) arrived after 45 minutes, every 15 minutes. Ordering another drink was impossible because no one came.

Service desert, the staff doesn't care if you want to order drinks

The old gas station has reopened and has new operators. We understand that things can be a little more chaotic in the initial phase. But what we experienced was anything but acceptable. We had reserved a table for 10 people outside on the terrace by phone. When we arrived there wasn't a single table left. We were told that other people had simply sat down at our reserved table and that there was nothing we could do about it and that we should sit in and have our drinks inside and that there would definitely be a free place by then. But we didn't want that & after a long back and forth we were finally able to take a seat because other guests had left. We still didn't have enough chairs and 10 of us had to squeeze into a table that was designed for 6 people. Once we ordered our drinks, it took some time for the drinks to arrive - but 3 drinks were missing. This was noted and then three drinks followed promptly, albeit the wrong ones. They were then taken away again and many minutes passed until the correct drinks arrived - the others had already finished theirs. And then the chaos continued with the food... 4 of us ordered a normal kebab plate. That came at some point too. Unfortunately, everyone else didn't receive anything... we asked several times and pointed this out. Another waitress kept coming and asked what was still missing. We probably had to say it 4 times. There was no apology from the owner of the restaurant but they tried to talk their way out of it because there was a lot going on. We later found out that the meat for the dishes we ordered was out and that we had to get the meat out of the freezer first. In the meantime, some people had ordered drinks that didn't come either. You had the feeling that no one had any plan anymore and the waiters seemed to avoid our table and didn't come at all. At some point one of us said that she no longer wanted her food and the answer from the operator was “yes, then not”. This is anything but customer friendly & I have never experienced anything like it. In the end a waitress was sent who then apologized to us, but there was no apology from the operator. The only thing we were offered was a glass of schnapps for each of us, which each of us declined. I will definitely avoid this place in the future. The taste of the food was okay, but nothing special.

We fully understand that not everything can run smoothly in the initial phase of a new opening. Unfortunately, what we experienced during our visit was far from acceptable service. Despite prior reservations for our larger group, there were no tables available when we arrived. After a short wait, we were finally able to sit down, but then had to wait around 40 minutes for our first drinks - three of the beers we ordered were missing, and these were only served another 20 minutes later after repeated inquiries. The chaos also continued with the meal: out of ten dishes ordered, only four initially came. Again we had to point out our order several times. It seemed as if communication in the service team wasn't working at all - we were repeatedly asked what was still missing. After another long wait, we were finally informed that we had run out of meat for some dishes and that more had to be brought from the cold storage. At this point we had already been sitting for 1.5 hours - with no clear information, let alone an apology. It gave the impression that our table was deliberately avoided. After a total of two hours, the rest of the food finally arrived - which, to be fair, tasted good. The location and the ambience are also very appealing. Unfortunately, that alone cannot outweigh the disappointment about the process and the way we were treated. In the end we were given an apology - we thank you for that. We very much hope that the processes will work better in the future, because the potential is definitely there. Unfortunately, this visit was a very unsatisfactory experience for us.

Great team, very nice service. I deducted the star from the food because unfortunately there is no vegetarian dish apart from fries. Maybe my tip with the falafels can be implemented, then I'll be happy to come back. By the way, fries are great!!

Very nice bosses, very tasty chicken 🍗 and fries 🍟

Were there today and my husband ate a schnitzel platter. 800g meat and 300g pasta. He ate everything by himself. Always delicious there.

It's always an experience for me to come here and eat the world's best chicken.

Really delicious there😘 I always eat the cordon bleu with spaetzle and gravy, simply wonderful. The portion is something for good eaters and the price is great

Luckily it's closed now. Anyone who publicly wishes politicians that they will be overrun by tanks deserves only the worst 🤣🤣🤣

Tolle kleine Wirtschaft mit nettem Biergarten. Das Essen kam sehr schnell, war mega lecker und die Portionen sind reichlich. Ich bin ein guter Esser und esse oft was mein Schatz nicht schafft aber ich musste am Schluss doch kämpfen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und der Biergarten ist bei schönem Wetter sehr zu empfehlen. Wir hatten einmal Schnitzel mit Pommes und Salat sowie einmal Cordon Bleu mit Pommes und Salat was beides sehr zu empfehlen ist. Dazu wurde eine super leckere, hausgemachte Bratensoße gereicht. Gerne wieder.

Das Essen war sehr lecker & auch schön angerichtet. Der Biergarten hat uns auch gut gefallen. Allerdings war die Bedienung unfreundlich. Sie machte einen schmuddeligen und überforderten Eindruck.. Ansonsten hat uns das Ambiente sehr gut gefallen 👍🏻

Lecker Hähnchen mit Live-Musik.

Wer hier mit ein paar Getränken, Musik und sehr freundlichem Personal zufrieden ist, kann sich hier wohlfühlen. Doch gut essen ist eher nicht der Fall. Hamburger Petti zu trocken, pommes auch und das Öl wohl nicht mehr so frisch wie es sein sollte. 17,40€ für einen Chessburger mit einer kleinen Portion Pommes sollte super schmecken. Doch dieser Burger wäre natürlich 6 € Wert gewesen. Das Burgerbrotchen war super auch der Belag sn dich war gut. Aber das Fleisch war... Der Kartoffelsalat zu viel Essig. Die Bratensose war ordentlich mit Maggi gewürzt. Die Preise sind sehr Hoch. Kurz um geht hier nicht essen. Preisleistung beim Essen geht gar nicht.

Super...... Everything in so super.

Das Essen war fantastisch. Die Preise moderat. Genug Parkplätze. Hunde sind erlaubt. Tolles Flair. Kein 5 Sterne Restaurant, aber sehr gut bürgerlich und angenehm! Der Außenbereich ist barrierefrei!

Ein uriger Ort. Bisschen scheint dort die Zeit stehen geblieben zu sein, aber genau das macht es so nett. Gute Musik, viele Gäste, Essen schmeckt, Getränke gekühlt. Kommen gerne wieder.

Super leckeres Essen, top Service und sehr angenehmes Ambiente, mein Geheimtipp die Hähnchen Schnitzel 😍 immer wieder ein Besuch Wert👍🏻

Trotz Sommerfest am Sonntag, super Service, Super Stimmung, leckeres Essen und alles sehr Zügig. Weiter machen✌️

Sehr lange Wartezeit. Knapp 1h. Obwohl nicht viel los. Essen ganz ok .... haben wusa gegessen .

Fast alle Speisen kommen aus der Fritteuse und leider schmeckt man das auch ! Des Weiteren ist wohl alles TK beziehungsweise Konfiniensfood ! Danke aber nein Danke!

Wir wollten Sonntag Abend spontan essen gehen, was in einem deutschen Lokal fast unmöglich ist - da alles voll ist. Dort haben wir aber noch ein nettes Plätzchen draußen bekommen. Es war schon viel los, aber nicht rappelvoll. Wir mussten trotzdem über eine Stunde auf unser Essen warten. In meinen Salat war eine Fliege , was ja mal passieren kann. Das Essen war ok, aber jetzt nichts besonderes, was man woanders nicht bekommt. Man kann mal einkehren sollte aber Zeit mitbringen.

Nettes Restaurant, die Speisen sind einfach aber sehr lecker, der Service herzlich, gerne wieder.

Wunderbar, waren heute mit Kollegen da und es war mega. Lecker Essen , tolle Menschen.

Ich hatte heute das Vergnügen, in der Alten Tanke zu essen, und es war eine großartige Erfahrung!! Das Essen war köstlich und wurde sehr schnell serviert. Die Bedienung 7 war professionell und wirkte kompetent. Es war offensichtlich, dass er das Kellnern mit Leidenschaft ausübt. Ich war rundum zufrieden und kann die Alte Tanke jedem empfehlen, der gutes Essen und einen erstklassigen Service schätzt Tisch 26 sagt Danke. 👌👋👍🏻Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Sehr nettes Lokal, leider wie überall mit Personalmangel in der Küche, deshalb reichlich Wartezeit einkalkulieren.

Gutes Essen bei super Service mit Rolf!

Genügend Parkplätze, schöner Biergarten vor dem Haus.Das Essen, in meinem Fall der Hackbraten vom Rind mit Pommes und Gemüse kam schnell und war sehr schmackhaft. Preis-Leistung war Super. Der Beilagensalat könnte besser sein. Die Speisekarte selbst ist auf gute Bierkartenmenüs ausgerichtet. Alles in allem als Biergartenrestaurant ist die Alte Tanke zu empfehlen. Wir kommen gerne einmal wieder.

Guter Service ,leckeres Essen sehr freundlich jederzeit wieder

Schöner Zwischenstop um einen Snack zu sich zu nehmen. Der neue Biergarten ist einladend und unser Schnitzel & Bacon Burger war der Hit.

Für den kleinen Hunger oder das kurze Bier ist es okay. Im Sommer im Biergarten bei Livemusik macht es aber mehr Spaß dort zu verweilen

Die Speisekarte wird oft erneuert und das Essen schmeckt sehr gut. Was mich nur stört sind die ständigen Verspätungen, weshalb man oft bis zu einer Stunde auf sein Essen warten muss. Jedoch sind die Lieferanten sehr freundlich. :)

Lecker Hähnchen zu vernünftigen Preisen, dazu ein netter Service

Personal sehr freundlich, Speisen lecker und keine lange Wartezeit

Etwas ältere Einrichtung aber trotzdem fühlt man sich wohl in der Atmosphäre. Bedienung freundlich und wirkt nicht überfordert, trotz mehrerer Gäste. Essen war sehr lecker und gerne wieder.

Haben Burger und Nuggets mit Pommes bestellt zur Lieferung. Essen kam zügig und war mega Lecker! Freuen uns auf den Sommer und draußen im Biergarten zu sitzen!

Wir waren schon öfter in der alten Tanke und das Essen sowie der Service ist super! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Die Räumlichkeiten sind zwar nicht up to date, aber das Essen ist lecker. Insbesondere das Rumpsteak kann ich empfehlen.

Die alte Tanke ist einfach Kult. Hähnchen und Schlegel, Wurstsalat in verschiedenen Varianten gibt es dort. Hier muss man mal gewesen sein. Der Wirt und das Küchenteam sind sehr schwäbische aber auch super freundlich . Wir haben spät abends (21.30 uh) noch Essen bekommen. Draußen sitzen oder auch drin ist einfach klasse. Ein Must-Go.

Bei schönem Wetter draußen sitzen und Bierle trinken passt und gefällt. An verschiedenen Tagen auch Programm mit Livemusik etc. Auch schön. Die Kategorie „Restaurant“ passt m. E. hier nicht. Klar, ne Kleinigkeit zu Essen ok, geht hier aber nicht in die Wertung ein.

Leckere Schnitzel mit Pommes. Cooler uriger Biergarten mit genügend Schatten. Im Sommer gibt es bei der WM Public Viewing.

Zum etwas Trinken kann man da vielleicht schon mal hin. Das Essen ist jedoch unter aller kanone. Alles aus der Friteuse selbst die Bratwurst. Die Toilette ist sehr eng und klein und man muss schon sehr viel Geschick haben um dort einparken zu können.

Aus Neugierde haben wir die "alte Tanke" auch einmal getestet- einmal und nie wieder. Schön sitzen draussen im Biergarten- ok. Aber das Essen war zum Abgewöhnen. Verkochte Spätzle, ungewürztes Fleischm, sehr saurer Salat. -da kochen wir zu Hause deutlich besser Der Service war ok.

Wer Sky Sport sehen möchte ist gut aufgehoben. Im Raucher oder Nichtraucher Raum. Essen kommt wohl aus der TK oder Früher. Wurstsalat ist ebenfalls aus dem Eimer. Das Essen ist für die Qualität deutlich zu teuer. Einzig der Biergarten ist angenehm.

Wir waren heute in dieser "Absteige" zum Essen. Das Essen ist lieblos gekocht - wenn man Fertigspätzle aus der Tüte und eine Fertigsosse denn kochen nennen kann. Toiletten schmutzig, Boden und Tische fettig und verschmiert. Das Desinfektionsmittel auf der Toilette wurde dankend angenommen von uns...
