“Gasthof mit super Essen und netter Bewirtung bei bestem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, auch 2021 wieder absolut klasse. Krenfleisch top, Sülze absolute klasse! Wir kommen 2022 wieder!”
“Wir kommen seit meiner Kindheit nach Elbersberg, bei Ingrid und Otto haben wir schon so manchen langen Abend mit gutem Fränkischem Essen und netter Gesellschaft bis in die Morgenstunde verbracht. Nun komme ich mit meinem Freund nach vielen Jahren wieder hierher und bekomme den gleichen fantastischen Zwiebelbraten mit Kloß und Soße plus geröstete Zwiebeln. Es ist eben wie nach Hause kommen ..und das Preis Leistungsverhältnis bekommt man fast nirgendwo so. Danke an Otto, Ingried und Nelli für die schönen Jahre und die gute fränkische Küche Köln dankt! Alex”
“Für Wanderer zum Einkehren ideal. Einfaches Essen, aber super Geschmack. Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis.”
