Justus im Hessischen Hof

Great place near town and the Christmas markets! Tried the schnitzel here and it was glorious ???? The local Weiss bier was also exceptional. Staff were friendly and attentive.

I have been there a couple of times with some friends. The food is typical German, with some speciality also specific for Hessen. The food is quite abundant and prices are fair.

One of the very little places in Gießen where you can get proper German food, well prepared, nicely served and not expensive for what you get. Atmosphere is very friendly, sometimes noise which makes it living. Really like it here. Go for the "Kalbsschnitzel"!

I'm Italian and quite esigent, but I live in Gemany since three months and I haven't met any german restaurant as good as this one. I've been there 3 times and it was always a succes. The soups, the meat and even the cakes are very good. And it's also value for money.

For the start of the Oktoberfest in München the restaurant offered also some typical dishes beside the normal menu. I eat the Schweinehaxe in Biersoße. It was no problem to change the Knödel (I don't like those balls that much) in Bratkartoffelen. It was delicious after some disappointing experiences in other restaurants during my stay in Gießen. For me the best placce to go. Friendly staff.

We visited with a very mixed group of 9 people (two German, three Dutch, two British and one Italian) for an informal lunch while discussed business. Service in the restaurant was quick and efficient. The staff spoke good English, which was helpful as several of our party spoke no German, Food was very traditional, but everyone enjoyed it. The price at 170 Euro for main courses, beer and coffee was very reasonable.

We were recommended this restaurant by the hotel concierge.It was already quite late (8:30pm) when we arrived but the staff were quick to set up a table.I ordered the "roast ox on the bone" and it was cooked medium as requested. It is definitely one of the best steaks I have eaten.The local beers were very good and it's worth trying the "Justus Extrakt" liquor which still repeated on me a few days later!The staff were friendly and efficient and very welcoming.

One of my favorite local restaurants, Justus specializes in Hessian delicacies -- hearty, tasty, down home cooking, Hessian style. The menu changes with the seasons, so there is always a nice variety. The lunch specials are a particularly nice bargain with tasty offerings for a very reasonable price -- one can get soup and a main dish or a main dish and a dessert for around 10€ and all three for 12€. There is also a very well stocked bar that features some Hessian "curiosities" as well. The service is excellent and the owner, who is flamboyantly friendly with a great sense of humor, is often present. It gets quite busy evenings, so reservations are recommended.

Prior to this we had an unpleasant experience at Bar Celona up the road, so entered Justus as it always looked pleasant from the outside.It has a nice warm, old school restaurant-pub style atmosphere and was busy. The staff immediately responded and said a comfortable table would be available shortly. We sat at the bar and since that was comfortable enough, stayed there.The German home cooked food was simply delicious--that was a nice surprise. I had a herring dish and my wife dumplings and we both enjoyed it very much. The portions were a decent size and I tried a Bavarian beer that I've not seen before. Also tried the homemade herbal liquor and that had to be tested a second round;) Very n...
