A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Wir hatten ein wirklich tolles Erlebnis! Das Essen war hervorragend – frisch, lecker und mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Die Bedienung war trotz der Tatsache, dass sie sehr viele Tische zu bedienen hatte, unglaublich aufmerksam, freundlich und stets gut gelaunt. Man hat sich rundum wohlgefühlt. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder!"
"Wir waren zum Mittagessen da. Es war alles sehr gut. Essen wir frisch zubereitet und es schmeckt lecker. Preisleistung passt gut zur Qualität der Speisen. Es wird ihr mit viel Liebe gearbeitet. Vom Ambiente bis zum Service haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt."
"Wir waren für einen Kurzbesuch in Bad Ems und sind auf dieses schöne Gasthaus gestoßen. Das Essen hat sehr, sehr gut geschmeckt und hatte eine top Qualität, sowie ein tolles Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Wir würden hier jederzeit gerne wiederkommen."
"Waren gestern Abend mit vier Personen im,,Gasthaus Alt Ems,, essen. Ein wenig eng gesessen und die Parkplatz-Situation ist wohl eher bescheiden. Sind zwar Parkplätze vorhanden, aber wenn das Restaurant gut besucht ist, wird das Parken zum Problem. Das Personal ist freundlich und aufmerksam, es ist sauber vom Eingang bis zu den WC's. Das wichtigste darf nicht in Vergessenheit geraten, das Essen. Ausreichend und super lecker, wenn ich nach der ersten Mahlzeit nicht schon satt gewesen wäre, hätte ich noch ne Runde bestellt. Die Karre voll Mist war schon außergewöhnlich, war super lecker und hat alles gepasst, sowie der Nachtisch mit heißen Himbeeren. Eine Reservierung wäre vom Vorteil."
"This is a local restaurant in Bad Ems, we went there because we were craving German cuisine. We ordered Wildschweinragout and Jägerschnitzel, both dishes were really delicious and the fries were a 15 out of 10. As Bad Ems is a small cozy town, this seems to be the meeting place for many locals and they all are very friendly even to outsiders like us, who drove all the way from Frankfurt. The staff was very talkative and friendly too, we had a great dinner."
"Loved the food! Special place that holds a very special taste of Germany!! Loved the carrot soup that you must try!!!"
"Super Lokal. Preis-Leistung stimmt absolut. Einfache Küche, wie man sie eben von Zuhause kennt aber geschmacklich absolut top."
"Sehr gute Erfahrung an Weihnachten. Wir haben zum Glück noch für Weihnachten den 25. einen Tisch für 8 Personen bekommen. Die Weihnachts-Menüs waren gut gewählt und geschmacklich war es hervorragend. Der ganzen Familie hat es geschmeckt und alle Teller waren komplett leer. Ebenfalls lobenswert ist das Personal. Sehr gut aufgestellt, keine langen Wartezeiten. Preislich waren wir auch angenehm überrascht. So geht Gastronomie. Vielen Dank"
