"Wir waren im Mr Jones Samstag Abend zum Essen und für ein paar Cocktails. Musik und Geräuschpegel sind insgesamt recht laut, das Ambiente fanden wir durchaus ansprechend. Cocktails und Essen wurden zusammen gegen 20:30 Uhr geordert, die Drinks kamen nach 15-20 Minuten und waren durchaus o.k.. Wir waren hungrig, hatten Burger und "Turkey-Stripes" bestellt, also Fast Food, mit dem man normalerweise auch bei grossem Betrieb innerhalb einer halben Stunde rechnen darf. Nach rund einer Stunde fragte ich nach: Heute sei viel los, aber das Essen käme "sofort". Nach 90 Minuten verlangte ich den Chef zu spechen. Dieser sei nicht da, nur die Chefin. Diese kam allerdings zunächst nicht, statt dessen erhielten wir nach weiteren 10 Minuten unser Essen, kurz darauf erschien die Chefin. Diese erklärte uns mit süffisantem Lächeln, dass man uns ja gesagt habe, dass es heute wegen grossem Andrang "etwas länger" dauern würde. Abgesehen davon, dass knapp 100 Minuten Wartezeit für mich nicht "etwas länger" sind, war davon bei der Aufnahme unserer Bestellung keine Rede gewesen, sonst wären wir woanders hin gegangen. Leider hatten wir nicht schon vor unserem Besuch die Bewertungen auf Trip Advisor gelesen, sonst hätten wir gewusst, dass die Küche offenbar Samstag abends chronisch überlastet und Wartezeiten von mehr als einer Stunde auch für einfache Fast-Food-Gerichte die Regel sind. Fazit: Cocktails o.k., Essen o.k., Wartezeit für Essen ungenügend, Verhalten der Chefin arrogant und unprofessionell."

"Two salad shops could keep in the water after the big hype, their concept could not be different. Where there are finished salads with names at Tom Sallys, you can choose from estimated 30 ingredients and create your individual salad (yes, there are also exceptions, but later). The base is therefore either noodles (white or whole grain), fresh green salad or a combination thereof (my favorite), four so-called basic ingredients, a dressing according to choice and a small semmel (full grain or ciabatta). If you want more, you can book additional ingredients such as freshly fried chicken for an additional fee. The whole is large (with two mammals) and small and I find the value for money very good. The clear advantages and disadvantages of this concept are individuality. I get the salad I want, but I need to remember what I like. There are also lunches on the Neuenweg. I admire the operators with what rest and speed they do the preparation, but it costs time. If you want to edit this, you have the option of an online preparation order (which I have never used before). What I like is the changing warm soups that round off the offer, I usually take a small salad and a soup and then I'm good at lunch, but not too much saturated. Building style you feel very comfortable in the small salädchen, everything is made with bright wood, in front of the large shop window there is a long corner bench with pillows inside and many people take the food on site. In front of the shop window outside, in good weather there are also places in the sun and overlooking the Sparkasse... Even if you come more often, it will not be boring to change soups, new, partly seasonal dressings and ingredients of the month like asparagus. In addition to every individuality, there are also finished salads that carry funny names and also change. Do not come into question for me, but should be mentioned. There are all drinks that you just want to drink from Fritz-Cola via Club-Mate. Only the coffee I can not recommend: by putting yourself back in the snake, nobody will be ordered in preparation and the operators will be annoyed. You can also preorder for groups and then you don't have to adjust yourself, but that never came into question for me as a spontaneous eater."

"We were very positively surprised by the Autohof and especially the restaurant. You don't feel like one of the usual fast restaurants on the highway. But it was very quiet and the restaurant was very appealing (here mediteran with beautiful bordered seating areas, a large glazed conservatory). The menu has a great selection of FRISCH cooked dishes. The advertiser in the hallway to the entrance of the restaurant, where all the different types of carvings are depicted and what was unfortunately called the Gammelfleisch parade by another reviewer, definitely does not meet the food in the restaurant and I also find it very bad if you evaluate this only by means of high-gloss advertising signs. We chose the menu for the Szegediner Gulasch with potatoes and the Tessiner Schnitzel with roast potatoes and bacon beans. It tasted very good. In particular, the Gulasch was not a fade, tasteless, warmed-up pampe as you would otherwise like to have it at the motorway grid stations. The goulash was especially well seasoned, had a great consinstenz and tasted really well; that food was also really hot and not only once quickly warmed up in the microwave or these heat containers, as is usual in resting stations. The Tessiner Schnitzel was also great. The panade was actually by hand (you can see it simply), the roast potatoes were not finished pieces of unit and the carving still nicely juicy. All in all, we were very positively surprised by the ambience and the food. The service was also very friendly and always on zack. In the end, we paid €36 incl. drinks and espresso and that was really very appropriate. The Autohof or the restaurant surprised us very positively and once we come back along the route, we will definitely return there again."
