Cafeteriakroen Silkeborg

Today Cafeteria Kroen, which is located on the A13 highway at Hampen, has reviewed their steak sandwich with gravy. The inn looks a little worn from the outside and when you step inside it's like stepping into a time warp from the 80s, but in a good way, it's truly a cafeteria from a bygone era where you take your tray and drive through one time and take what you need and at the end you pay. It doesn't get any better. Arrived at 12.12 and ordered immediately from the nice man, otherwise you could hear the kitchen starting to fry and work. The food was ready at exactly 12.26 and the first impression was that it looked a little boring, but that the portion size was fine. The bun is a traditional standard white burger bun with sesame which does what it's supposed to, however the bun is just a little over-toasted, it's been toasted a little 30 seconds too long. In the steak sandwich we find, plain white raw onions, home-pickled red onions which taste really nice and with perfect acidity. In addition, there are home-pickled cucumbers which were also really good and do something good when you almost get a tear in your eye. The beetroots did not taste homemade and had a bit of a hint of our friends from Beauvais in the taste, which is a bit of a shame. Ketchup, mustard and remoulade are pre-made but still finely tuned in terms of quantity. The steak WoW I would guess is 200 grams, it is freshly home-fried, hot, the meat is PERFECTLY fried with a nice fried crust, structure in the meat and pink fried in the middle. The meat is really flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Hold on, that was not expected. The sauce and it is a sauce, it tastes great and has received a lot of love, it is flavorful and can best be described as a good pork roast sauce like our grandmothers made it, there are only 2 anchors to it and that is that it was only lukewarm (could be a bit hotter) and that there was far too little of it, but it tasted great. I will say I have tried many steak sandwiches as you can see from my other reviews, but this one at a price of DKK 85.- is definitely at the better end, with such a flavorful steak and flavorful sauce and the fact that you have actually made some of the pickles yourself adds so much. Could you then optimize a little to make things better, such as adding a little roasted onions, pickled beets yourself and maybe throwing in a little home-made remoulade. YES but that does not change the fact that this serving is at the good end of the steak sandwich spectrum. 4 out of 5 stars is well deserved and a clear recommendation. Hope you can keep up the level.

This place recently got new owners and I'm glad about that. I have memories of the place from the mid-80s, when my father sent me to Germany on the pensioner bus from Skive, to buy cigarettes and beer, and when I was only a small fair-haired thin boy of 12, I became a huge hit with the older ladies who were there. I almost always brought several kilos of sweets home because they thought it was a sin for me. But we always stopped in here to get breakfast and several liters of coffee for the pensioners, and on the way home we stopped in for more coffee and cake, or if we ran out of time, we had dinner. It's a lovely place with lots of history and I hope the new people there will bring the cafeteria inn back to its former glory. The food is quite nice, the last star comes when my portion gets bigger, because I'm not so skinny anymore🤣.

Ok food didn't taste like much, got tartlets with chicken in asparagus, what tasted the most was the tomato on top A little play Cute girl at the checkout Ok nice place to eat

This place is perfect. Danish cafeteria as it should be and always have been. Please don't change anything.

Good restaurant and delicious food, with the dish of the day 😃

Good old-fashioned food at a good price

Incredibly cozy place. The food is great, at reasonable prices. We come there about 3 times a year.....👍

You are always welcome. To drive 800 km and be able to rent a house or just park there and use the restaurant and shower - priceless. We love you.

Beautiful and fresh food and super sweet service. The place is tucked away and looks a little tired, but the food is top notch.
