I went to Worms for the day and was hungry for something other than pizza/kabob/asian, which seems to be what much of the offerings are in city center. Plus it was a rare sunny day in early Spring, so I thought it would be nice to enjoy some scenery outdoors. Using Trip Advisor (thank you!) I found good reviews for Kolb's Biergarten. True to the tradition of biergartens, you order your drinks and food separately (theoretically I guess you could bring a sandwich from Netto, though I wouldnt recommend it, even if those sandwiches were good). I ordered a salad plate and was satisfied- not the best I've had, but certainly plenty to eat for 10 Euro. Drinks are reasonably priced with a wide variet...
We spent a very warm summer evening in this buzzling outside biergarten. The sheer number of people was what drew us there in the first place. Must be a giid sign, right? And we were right. The food is not very sophisticated, it´s more like a BBQ-place, with focus on grilled meat. On the other hand, they are good at what they do. We had schnitzel and a mixed grill and they were delicious. The only downside-and for some this might sound like an upside-was the size of the portions: I have never seen anything like it, not even in the US: They are HUGE and as far as we could tell every person left with a doggy bag big enough to feed a family. So, if you like BBQ and don´t mind portions the size...
Lovely spot under the trees on the banks of the Rhine - the temperature was over 30C so our team of Morris dancers, wives and friends were very grateful for the shade. Enjoyed delicious food and beer and even found the energy afterwards for a dance by the river. The staff did have a little difficulty keeping track of our orders, but probably only to be expected with such a large group.
If you're from the US and appreciate food you do not eat fried chicken out. I was with a local and when she suggest the specialty of the house, fried chicken, I ordered it. At Kolb's Biergartan they give you a packet hand wipe since they expect you to eat part of the bird with your hands. Well it wasn't needed. The leat fatty, most moist chicken. And inexpensive to boot.

During the recent heatwave in Worms, Kolb's Biergarten (or 'Kolbe Gretchen' as it is known locally) was the perfect spot to be. Sitting under the trees along the Rhine with their perfect 'Knusperhaehnchen' was delightful. They serve 'Mittagstisch' too and it has been a very popular spot for many years, so reservations are recommended.
The crispy chicken was superb and reasonably priced. Service was prompt and friendly too. When the weather is nice, sitting outdoors just metres away from the Rhein river is a real treat. Plentiful free parking nearby is the icing on the cake for this restaurant. Well worth a visit.
This is where the locals go to enjoy themselves. Great atmosphere, eating outside. Great service. Regular musical evenings on the banks of the Rhine. Visitors are more than welcome. Enjoy lunchtimes or evenings. The place to. be.....
Great place to enjoy famous crispy chicken seasoned with secret herbs mix, french fries (pom frits), salad and cold hefeweizen, while watching river Rhein, boats passing by, people strolling the river front.

The day I visited was somewhat dreary, but this would be an excellent spot on a nice day to have a beer along the Rhine. Recommended spot for the outdoor atmosphere.
Great food (snitzel and sausage salad) lovely staff who helped us out deciding what tasty cakes to try! Well worth a visit.
