Reviews Summary

Gretchens Restaurant Koblenz Altstadt garners praise for its friendly staff and delicious, well-cooked German fare, particularly the grill plates and fries. Diners appreciate the affordable prices and the relaxed, nostalgic atmosphere with 80s-90s music. While most reviews are positive, a few mention concerns about service consistency and pricing discrepancies. However, many find it a great value for money in a prime Old Town location.

"I was a little nervous because some of the reviews weren't good but I am extremely glad we took the chance. The restaurant and I share names so I thought it would be worth the chance. Our server was absolutely the greatest. We sat out front but he asked if we wanted to sit in the beer garden in back where it was more private. We told him we would and he helped move our stuff to the back. It was very nice and quiet (we had just had a bad experience at another places and needed to "calmness").

The food did come quickly but it was hot and very good. We got the grill plate and all 3 meats were cooked perfectly. They had an excellent flavor and were tender and juicy. I'm not sure what kind of salad dressing they use but it was fantastic. The fries were like steak fries and were hot and good.

I can't say enough about the service. He checked on us numerous times. Everyone in the restaurant was very friendly and helpful. We are in Koblenz for the next couple of days and we are planning to go back before we leave."

"Great atmosphere, great service and fair prices. When I came all the tables were under a sun cover, but after the server picked up that i wanted to enjoy the view, they moved one of the tables for me. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. The service was very friendly. All in all i definitely recommend you give it a try :)"

"Some reviews were not the best here but we really enjoyed our "mixed grill" plate. A pork steak, chicken breast and a beef steak. Beef steak was cooked medium, so if you want it cooked differently, say so. Food was hot and nicely cooked, not dry. Staff were friendly. If you are not fussy, enjoy a decently cooked meal, give it a try."
