"... we didn't regret our visit. On our journeys we have reached much worse resting places. We stayed on a Thursday afternoon 2 persons in the “Maxi-Autohof Lauenau”. Lunch is worth a visit, especially as there is a free day soup. In addition, there are 11 MAXI parking spaces on the highways from the advertisement of the “MAXI car parks”, we had a voucher book “2for1”. This promotion is also via the website of the “Maxi-Autohöfe”, where there are 2 foods at the price of a “Order 2 Numbers 1”. We ordered a 250 g carving “Tessiner Art” with tomatoes, cheese and roast potatoes and a carving “Jäger Art” with pommes for € 13.49. The buffet is not in the restaurant, but in the hall, in front of the restaurant entrance you can see pictures . The menu is very diverse and has interesting varied dishes, complemented by regional and seasonal specialities, a delicious steak card and constantly changing promotions. Due to the non-free seating areas/tables and rustic amenities, the restaurant is simple despite the resting area and you feel a bit like in Bavaria. Since this is a resort, you should also note that most guests are long-distance drivers and the restaurant is therefore not necessarily suitable for a “Candle Light Dinner”. But if you want a lot of food, you'll be fine here. And what we like is Köstritzer black beer from the barrel in the tank. We also liked the very attentive, careful, friendly and fast service. What we didn't like as much as other critics were the roast potatoes. As can be seen from the picture of the "Tessiner Art" carving, these were simply cut too thick. We also believe that, as noted by another critic, they had nothing to do with the advertising of the Maxi parking places “...confusing and brought to the table”. Otherwise we were satisfied and can therefore recommend the “Maxi Autohof Lauenau bei Lauenau”. Those who travel on the A2 and feel hungry should try the “MAXI-Autohof Lauenau” via exit 37. ... a way worth it"
