"Wir waren dort letzten Freitag zur golden Hochzeit meiner Kusine. Das Essen war einfach klasse. Herausheben moechte ich aber die sehr freundliche Bedienung, die an unserem Tisch bedient hat! Aufmerksam, sehr freundlich (ich sage nur Hochszeitssuppe). Dies ist nicht das erste Mal, dass wir hier bei Familienfeierlichkeiten waren und es war immer sehr schoen und gut."

"Wir haben dort mit etwa 30 Leuten ein Geburtstag gefeiert. Das Essen war sehr lecker, hab mehrere Gerichte probiert, überhaupt nichts auszusetzen. Die Jungs und Mädels von der Bedienung waren hoch motiviert und haben ihren Job sehr gut gemacht, Getränke waren immer rechtzeitig am Tisch."

"Wir waren dort mit einer etwas größeren Gruppe im Saal. Es gab eine Vorsuppe an den Tisch gereicht, geschmacklich wie bei Muttern zuhause mit ordentlich Einlage! Richtig lecker! Anschließend gab es eine Auswahl an Fleisch, Fisch und Geflügel, unter anderem Rouladen. Salzkartoffeln oder Kroketten, Blumenkohl, Brokkoli oder Rotkohl mit Salatbeilage, hinterher zwei Sorten Nachspeise. Wir haben sooo lecker gesehen, es passte nichts mehr rein. Die Damen im Service waren sehr aufmerksam und freundlich! Gerne kommen wir wieder, wenn wir in der Gegend sind. Das Ambiente trifft nicht ganz meinen Geschmack (meine subjektive Meinung) aber es ist alles Stimmig, sehr ordentlich und sauber! Sehr zu empfehlen!!"

"Zum Schäfer, Garrel Es gibt sie noch, die traditionelle deutsche Küche. Von Montag bis Freitag gibt es eine wöchentlich wechselnde Mittagskarte, mit frisch gekochten traditionellen Gerichten unter 10€. Reichlich, gut und preiswert. Früher gab es in der Familie am Sonntag immer ein besonderes Essen, den berühmten Sonntagsbraten. Diese wundervolle Tradition lebt im Restaurant „Zum Schäfer“ weiter. Die Sonntagskarte ist ein Stück deutsche Esskultur. Immer auf der Speisekarte eine klassische Vorsuppe, dann typische Sonntagsgerichte, wie Braten, auch mal Wild und immer auch Schnitzel. Sehr lecker, und preiswert. Das Restaurant ist kein Gourmettempel, aber ein Speiselokal, das die Tradition deutscher Küche bewahrt und pflegt"
