“Ich hatte nur einen Wurstsalat gegessen, aber der war genial. Geschmacklich und auch mengenmäßig nur super. Den hätte ich jetzt gerne jeden Tag! In dem wunderbaren Biergarten unter altem Baumbestand und auf verschiedenen Ebenen lässt es sich gut lang aushalten. Das Personal ist so wie man es sich wünscht. Gerne bald wieder ...”

“Es super schön, wie immer, wenn man in ein typisch fränkisches Gasthaus kommt. Wie der Name schon sagt: GastHaus. Man fühlt sich gleich wohl u herzlich willkommen als Gast. Der GastWirt nimmt sich Zeit u setzt sich an den Tisch für ein kl. Gespräch, während du du dir die leckere Brotzeit schmecken lässt. Herzlichen Dank!”

“Best canned meat (literal translation) on the planet. Best brown bread in Germany. Real mustard (it's actually patented, I think). Great local beer. Been going here for three decades, if that tells you anything.”

“Fast wie eine kleine Raststätte auf dem Weg ins Auenland. Gemütlicher Keller, ehrliche fränkische Küche und Zwetschgenbames sowie Gerupfter, die jeden Wanderer glücklich machen. Klare Empfehlung!”

“Nach der Wanderung auf die Retterner Kanzel bei endlich mal schönem Winter Wetter mit viel Schnee, ging es noch weiter bis zum Kramer in Ketschendorf. Bekannt wegen seinem einzigartigen Senf und seinen schottischen Hochrindern. Ein urwüchsiges Lokal unterhalb der Friesener Warte wird mit viel Liebe und sehr familiär geführt. Es gibt selbstgemachten Kuchen und Brotzeiten. Der Chef steht hinterm Tresen und zapft Helles, Keller und Weizenbier mit einer gelassenen Routine und begrüßt dich herzlich beim Servieren der Getränke. Derweil sind die Mädels in der Küche fleißig und der selbstgebackene Kuchen wird in Rekordzeit serviert. Es gibt Bienenstich, Mandarinenkuchen, Streuselkuchen,- alles so lecker, und das ist kein Stückchen Kuchen, es ist ein riesiges Gedicht aus der Backstube. Dabei sitzen wir am Kachelofen, der uns aufwärmt und genießen das einzigartige Ambiente. Hier ist der Gast König- so soll es bleiben. Wir waren so entspannt. Wo kann man am Sonntag Nachmittag in Franken noch so was erleben? Mein Geheimtipp. 10 Sterne für diese Location.”
