Gezellige taverne, zeer rustig gelegen, vriendelijke uitbaters die ook de tijd nemen voor een babbeltje, en tevens enorm hondvriendelijk zijn. We voelden ons zeer welkom. We hadden wortelsoep en het broodplankje genomen dat meer dan voldoende was voor 1 persoon. Binnen was het authentiek en rustiek ingericht, buiten een heerlijk open terras.

Gezellige plek, ik kom er graag! Simpele kaart, vriendelijke bediening, honden meer dan welkom. Eenvoudig goed (en) gezellig! :-)

Gisteren heerlijk gegeten met het gezin. Kinderen en honden zijn er meer dan welkom. De houtkachel stond lekker aan en was heerlijk warm binnen. Ruime keuze aan speciaalbier. Zeer aardig personeel met leuke verhalen. Ook namen ze leuk de tijd voor de kids. Het eten was zeer goed en lekker en niet duur zowel voor de grote als kleine eter heerlijk verse producten. Helaas wonen we niet in de buurt anders waren we hier zeker vaker wezen eten of borrelen. Kortom een leuk restaurant met een leuke sfeer. Overal stonden ook pel pinda's op tafel lekker voor bij de happie of tappie.
