LOUNGE Oberursel - Oberursel (Taunus)

Good staff, prime location..fast service

Great atmosphere for cocktails and snacks. Service is very good. Food is inconsistent. Burgers are good though.

After a year living close by and drinking here twice we decided to have a meal after a number of recommendations. The 'lounge' has a very cool and inviting interior with an impressive bar manned by very handy barmen. The 2 outside decks face rail lines but are pleasant and comfortable.My wife and I ate with our 2 daughters. Although there is no 'kids menu' the waiter was able to accommodate our little one's picky request. I decided to order the Thursday night 'all you can eat' ribs' special. I was given a generous serving of ribs but they were not the best I have had…a little too dry. Look at the picture of the ribs on their website…deeeeelicious! Overall the food my wife and girls had was very good, but it was the quality of service from this point I was not happy with.The service overall was slow. We finally caught the eye of a waiter and I requested another serving of ribs. 10 minutes later…still no ribs. The waiters avoided all eye contact as they passed. 20 minutes later…still no ribs. It may be me, but I got the impression that they used his stalling to avoid having to provide more 'all you can eat' ribs. At this point we had to leave and requested the bill…this, we didn't have to wait for. We were asked if we were happy with our meal. We explained that we ordered more ribs but they did not come. Their excuse, 'our busy kitchen'.Sour grapes? You be the judge, but the stalling tactics were a little too transparent. Don't give this a miss. Give a try if you haven't…but skip their 'specials'.

We were a few years ago when the lounge had opened fresh, once there and were not so enthusiastic. the current impression of recent visit was much better. the location is of course still the same beautiful, the very attractively renovated former railway station and the two free terraces in front of below the house are simply perfect for the gastronomy. the menu is now clean and offers a modern interpretation of pub food. Culinary high flights should not be expected, but this is not the claim. the service was very friendly, attentive and quick, so our visit there was a surprisingly positive experience.

This is located at the railway station very cheaply, so it represents a good spot for people who start from different directions. From me the S-Bahn or subway you can also drive by car, as there are plenty of parking spaces in the evening. eating is good and the cocktails too. the ambiente is very modern.
