"Wunderschöner Biergarten. An dem man schöne Nachmittage und Abende in gemütlicher Atmosphäre verbringen kann. Der Wirt sehr zuvorkommend und sehr freundlich und immer gut drauf, wer hier nicht einkehrt hat eindeutig etwas verpasst. Sehr zu empfehlen."

"Schöner Biergarten nach einem Spaziergang in der Eilenriede. Die Bedienung war super nett. Die Bierpreise sind entsprechend gut. Essen sah gut aus, haben wir aber nicht getestet. Sehr von Stammkunden geprägt. Kinder und Hunde willkommen. Toiletten spartanisch, aber für uns kein Problem. Schön kühl und spendet Schatten. Jederzeit wieder."

"Eine kleine gemütlich Kneipe mit Biergarten, die es immer wert ist einmal einzukehren , um einen Spaziergang in der Eilenriede abzurunden. Hier bleibt kein Wunsch offen!! Freundliches und immer gut gelauntes Personal. Frische, kühle Getränke, Eis sowie Leckereien vom Grill runden diesen Besuch ab. Geheimtipp: Die Currywurst mit Pommes!! UNSCHLAGBAR!!"

"Eine sehr gemütliche kleine Bar mit tollem Biergarten an einem kleinen Waldgebiet mitten in Hannover. Es werden kleine Snacks nach Verfügbarkeit von Chilli con Carne bis Currywurst angeboten - teils auch abhängig davon wer gerade bedient. Eine Gulaschsuppe aus der Dose kriegt man meiner Erfahrung nach aber immer. Ansonsten sehr familiär und im Sommer sehr empfehlenswert zum draußen sitzen."

"Eine wunderschöne Kneipe am Stadtrand von Hannover in den Ortsteilen Kirchrode und Kleefeld. Sehr schön, dass es solche Kneipen noch gibt, wo es doch heutzutage nur noch Ketten gibt. Inhaber und wird sehr, sehr nett und zugänglich und freundlich."

"Klein aber gemütlich, so lässt es sich wohl am besten umschreiben. Sehr netter Wirt, angenehme Atmosphäre. Kleine Speisekarte, aber die geilste Currywurst, die ich seit Langem gegessen habe und das noch zu einem (für heutige Zeiten) moderaten Preis. Wir waren vergangenen Samstag das erste Mal da und es soll nicht das letzte Mal gewesen sein. Es ist auch Außengastronomie vorhanden."
