Torschänke Brüggen

Wonderful place. Nice food. Great service and absolutely beautiful surroundings.

Food was not bad and quite tasty. Staff was very friendly, service however could be improved, it was rather slow. Needed to flag someone down each time we needed something. Waited more than 20 minutes to order a drink and get the menu. Ambiance is really nice and the beer tasty 🍺

2506 2-Star Review: We’ve been visiting the Torschänke in Brüggen for years, drawn by its scenic location right by the old mill and river. It’s a historic, atmospheric place with thick walls that block phone reception inside — charming if you want to disconnect, but worth knowing in advance. Outdoors, it’s beautifully shaded and cooler in midsummer, though humid and buggy, especially on hot days. Unfortunately, prices have risen steeply in recent years to near big-city levels — €16 for a simple salad or €20 for a standard burger served with just about ten fries in a little basket (and having to ask for mayonnaise). Drinks are also on the expensive side, while food portions are modest. While the staff is friendly and parking is easy, the price-value ratio just isn’t justified anymore. The food is solid, but nothing special to warrant such pricing in a rather rustic, laid-back setting. Sadly, although we have good memories here, I don’t see myself returning. 230516 4 Star Review: Despite the beer prices being very high, the food and great service as well as the ambiance make up for that. Have a Schnitzel for example with some tasty mushrooms and enjoy a warm summer night by the river. Really recommended. Dog friendly. My 2 Star 2019 Review: Might be a great place during summer with the garden ambience - the food though was a disappointment. I actually had deep-frozen veggies in my entree. Meat was way too well done... Service not too attentive. Would not recommend if for the food.

Service by the ladies very good, the guy was a bit grumpy. Foodwise, the schnitzel was tiny and of poor quality, Side salad in an old jar? Salmon salade was good and recommended. Water bowl for the dog to be refilled was forgotten by the guy. Location is dead center in the sun outside, so good Toilet is clean but old Prices are okayish, except the schnitzel this was overpriced.

Ordred a Wienerschnitzel and a large beer. Outstanding servicelevel even though very busy at that time of day. The day after I went for a beer after completing my job for the day - and fell in talk with a nice Belgian couple. I can´t speak german - but english went just fine.

Nice food and good service, people were very cool. I came here alone from Holland on bike, ended up drinking a beer with local seniors, really good chat!

Didn't have food just drinks. Lovely location right next to a garden area with a river running through. Friendly staff and service

Ate here 2 nights in a row. 1st night everything was good: friendly and reasonably fast service, good food and nice cold beers. The second night couldn't be more different. A good 10 minute wait until finally someone came to our table who clearly didn't want to be there. Our beers already took a long time, but the wait time for 2 simple schnitzels was just more than ridiculous: close to an hour! The waitress was no help either, all she said was "it's busy but it's coming". We were just about to leave until the food finally arrived. No apologies whatsoever and the food was bland and dry. Probably won't be back a third time.
