Sehr freundlich!!! Gutes , bezahlbares Essen. Ich fühle mich hier wohl.

Einfache und kleine Gaststätte. Aber gerade das macht es aus. Das Essen schmeckt stets gut und wir fühlen uns immer wohl.

Waren Samstag dort und das Essen war richtig lecker. In ist es nicht so groß, aber trotzdem sehr einladend, das Personal ist top und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt. Sehr gute Portionen, geschmacklich super und der Preis stimmt und dazu gibt es auch noch leckeres Stauder Pils 0,3-0,4 l Kann ich nur empfehlen und wir waren nicht das letzte mal dort. (Balkanküche, Jugoslawisch)

Heute im Biergarten, nette freundliche Bedienung. Getränke, Speisen in guter Qualität zügig serviert! Das Beste, für die heutige Zeit moderate Preise! Leider eine begrenzte Anzahl von Plätzen.

Sehr schönes gemütliches Restaurant. Im Sommer ist der Biergarten perfekt zum draußen essen. Personal und Besitzer immer super freundlich und aufmerksam. Essen jedesmal super

Sehr gemütliches Ambiente, sehr freundliches Personal und natürlich, wie aus früheren Zeiten in der Talschänke gewohnt, leckere Speisen und Getränke. Bin froh den Wirt inklusive Personal wieder zu sehen.
