Het Tussenstation Lisse in Buitengebied

A very cozy and atmospheric restaurant for a delicious lunch or just drinks. We've eaten here several times, and the food is always good, the service is friendly, and the rooms are charming and in a beautiful spot in Lisse. Since they took over, they've organized more events, such as the "Stamppotavind" (a Dutch stamppot event); also highly recommended! I hope they organize more fun events like this, and we'll definitely be back for more great food and drinks!

For my 40th anniversary, I had a lovely dinner here with 20 people. I discussed everything beforehand with Marit, the manager. She made some excellent suggestions, and we made an appointment. We were warmly welcomed by three very kind and friendly ladies. The waiting room was decorated with a lovely atmosphere. My guests were promptly served a welcome drink upon arrival. The three-course menu I chose was delicious, and the plates were beautifully presented. There was plenty of time between courses for conversation, and glasses were filled regularly. The staff contributed to our very successful evening. All my guests were very pleased with the taste and quality of the dinner. Everything went exactly as I expected, including the agreed-upon payment method. We would love to return and highly recommend this restaurant.

Monday evening was the first Stamppot evening at the Tussenstation. It was really well organized. There were three types of stamppot to choose from, along with a meatball or a smoked sausage. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. I would definitely come back if there's another evening!

We attended the stamppot meal, with a choice of three stamppots. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderful. A top spot!

We participated in the special mashed potato evening. It was well organized and the food was delicious. I'm looking forward to the next special!

We had a wonderful lunch in a beautiful setting. Highly recommended!

A really nice place. With a great atmosphere. The vegetarian food I ordered was excellent. It came with a delicious soup, a Brie sandwich, and a truffle croquette. Beautifully presented. Highly recommended. I just forgot to take a photo to add.

I've already had several wonderful experiences at Het Tussenstation. We enjoyed a lovely lunch with family. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you're always greeted warmly. Once your lunch is served, it's a feast on your plate. Beautifully presented and a really good portion—not too much, but certainly not too little—just the right amount! It feels like coming home!

I had a reservation for 12 noon, but there was only room near the entrance. Even though we were sitting next to the heater, the icy wind still made me feel cold. It also took a bit too long for my order to be taken. The goat cheese sandwich was okay, but I was shocked by the prices! Terribly expensive for such a minimal meal. It's a shame, because the atmosphere is great! Sadly, it's my last time.

A fantastic place to unwind. Friendly staff and excellent service. Lovely selection of pastries. Highly recommended. Greetings from Het Stekkie Hillegom

Nice place to meet someone for a drink. Unfortunately, it takes a long time to order.

Very cozy, very cheerful waitress, delicious food.

We had lunch, consisting of soup as a starter and then two croquettes with bread. For my traveling companion and myself. What could be so wrong with that? Well, the tomato soup I had was lukewarm, not quite cold. A shame, because the taste was okay. For the sake of my traveling companion's company, I didn't say anything and let it happen. It's a nice, cozy place with friendly service.

The station is nicely decorated, with a first, second, and third waiting room. The lunch was delicious. We were just unlucky enough to encounter a somewhat unpleasant waitress. However, paying with a colleague went smoothly.

A great spot for an excellent cappuccino or iced coffee. Spacious sunny terrace where a train regularly passes. It's called the Tussenstation for a reason; it's a beautiful old building. Children can play safely and have a blast in the playground. The new, super friendly owner has created a wonderful atmosphere. Bravo!

What a lovely place to eat. The carpaccio sandwich was delicious, but I found the teriyaki sandwich a bit too salty. But that's a matter of taste, of course.

Very child-friendly, friendly service, and a good breakfast before the journey home.

On my weekly route from Katwijk to Nieuw-Vennep and back, I often pass this historic location, "Het Tussenstation Lisse." I've checked the website several times, and unfortunately, my favorite Dutch lunch menu, "Uitsmijter," isn't on the menu. Sandwiches are somewhere near the bottom of my list of favorites. A sandwich menu with fried egg, ham, and cheese is higher up as a favorite. As I drive past, I see a nice parking lot and a playground for children. So, who knows, maybe when the menu is updated, I'll stop by for lunch.

Tijdens onze fietstocht op het terras genoten van heerlijke (ijs)koffie en appeltaart. Leuke plek, vlotte bediening en goede kwaliteit. Ook even een kijkje binnen genomen, waar je de sfeer nog proeft van vervlogen tijden. We gaan hier zeker nog een keer heen voor een lunch of high tea!

A really nice terrace by the railway line, where every so often a train roars past. Funny. Friendly service, and the food is absolutely delicious.

What a wonderfully cozy restaurant! I've already had a delicious breakfast there. With the best coffee in the region. And mom's Monchou cake is highly recommended! We also had a drinks party later. The staff was truly fantastic! Everyone wanted for nothing. Delicious snacks and drinks! And you can also enjoy a delicious Tulipspritz from the local region here. Highly recommended!! In short, you absolutely have to visit!

A wonderful stop for a unique lunch along the railway! New owners and staff since July 1st. Very friendly service, and the lunch was delicious, excellent value! We'll definitely be stopping here again!

Had to look for someone to order something outside on the terrace

Een hele hele nare ervaring, ik was met een dame met dementie die 1 keer in de paar weken een keer iets leuks gaat doen met mij. De wereld is voor haar al verwarrend genoeg. Voor het eerst kwamen we hier, gingen aan tafel zitten werden niet begroet. Eindelijk kwam er iemand, we hebben koffie met appeltaart besteld en kaart gevraagd. Er kwamen meerdere andere mensen later, alles duurde en duurde, uiteindelijk ben ik opgestaan om te gaan kijken waar het bleef. Anderen hadden allemaal al hun drinken staan, en 1 dame van bediening stond gezellig te praten bij de later gearriveerde mensen, het waren bekenden van haar. Toen ik zei dat wij nog niks hadden was haar korte antwoord sorry dat is niet mijn tafel. Een enorm terras vol ik zie haar van hot naar her lopen maar alleen onze tafel was niet haar tafel. Dat het langer duurt vind ik logisch als je met weinig personeel bent maar dat je dus zo doet tegen klanten en ook zo oncollegiaal bent om zoiets te zeggen. Ik wilde er high tea bespreken voor vrijdag maar mij zullen ze daar nooit meer zien. Buiten werd ik aangesproken door anderen bezoekers en ook binnen, deze gaven aan het gezien te hebben en ook zelf niet prettig behandeld waren. Lieve demente dame en ik van slag en onze fijne uurtjes die ze al niet veel heeft verpest door dit vreselijke nare voorval. Bah, elders koffie gaan drinken maar de nasmaak van dit nare voorval heb ik nog steeds en vandaar deze lange review.

Enjoyed a delicious lunch in a unique location by the railway. Trains regularly rumble past, but that's why you're having lunch in an old station. Good parking and friendly staff. In short, highly recommended for lunch.

Great price-quality ratio, passing trains take some getting used to when you're sitting outside, but it used to be a station so it's part of the atmosphere

What happened here. I had reserved a table to have lunch with a friend. The friend said that when I entered, I got a nod from the head of the service. "With the expression what do you want". She ordered bread with 2 croquettes. €15.00 The croquettes were still frozen inside. In addition, I got 2 sad sandwiches with a small dollop of tuna salad. €15:00. The price-quality has gone downhill a lot. The service was also not representative. We liked to come there regularly. I would have given it another chance now because the entourage is great.

Booked a high tea for today in this beautiful location, arrival went well, neatly got a table, but then the waiting started, after 15 minutes a kettle of hot water came on the table and the lady disappeared again, we had for 3 of the 6 cups, after 10 minutes we asked for cups, these would be brought but we got them ourselves 10 minutes later because they didn't arrive. There were some dietary requirements that were stated when booking and 3 kids, we got the idea that this wasn't going well so this was also passed on on the spot. After 1 hour and 25 minutes the first sandwiches arrived, 6 pieces, great, but without the stated dietary requirements and nothing for kids (would be decorating pancakes) So they took them away again, after 5 minutes the friendly lady came back that they were going to start again in the kitchen, that was 1.5 hours after arrival, we then called it a day, because the children were already fed up and so were we, too, a pity and disappointed, because the guests next to and opposite us also had a high tea and were satisfied and they had already gone home.... despite the high price 3x30 and 3x19 euros (excluding the costs of 2x dietary requirements) we were looking forward to it, but 1.5 with only tea if you come just after lunch (as lunch) is very long.

Nice interior with a good playground for children. But don’t waste your money and order a meal (cup of coffee is a max). The food is nothing special, the service is non existent. We had to constantly chase waitresses (2 very young girls) who seem to not know what is included in high tea. One pot of tea for 5 adults each paying 30 euro for a high tea experience… Half of the things were not delivered. We are not coming back.

Had to wait a long time for the coffee and cake order: more than half an hour! Employees say they will pass it on, but that doesn't work! Checkout also slow. There are some things missing in the communication. It's a shame about this pleasant catering establishment.

Nice restaurant right on the tracks in a lovingly furnished former train station building. Well suited for a small meal on excursions through the region.

Very nice tent, but I added 3 times that I had a dirty glass. There was a lot of stuff floating in it, not very tasty. We waited half an hour for the lunch menu, but after asking twice we left. Too bad, things aren't in order...

You imagine a breakfast for €20, yogurt for €10 differently, cold eggs and not enough of everything

Returning from Keukenhof we stopped by at 16.30, knowing the closing was listed as 17.00 but after initially being ignored, one staff member said "hello" then walked by and closed the gate. We sat down, and eventually someone came and when asked about having coffee, they immediately disappeared and we could see them talking to another member of staff. It was clear they didn't want our business, and as we got up to leave the waitress returned and said something about "but we are closing in 10 minutes". It had seemed like a long time, but it was maybe 16.40. We left. Looking at other reviews, the staff attention to customers does seem to be a shortcoming. Maybe they could change their advertised opening time if they want to close earlier?

Top location, friendly staff, authentic

Had lunch with them 4th, arrival was fine after a bit of waiting our order was taken. The food was on the table quite quickly, the drinks were not yet available and we had to remind the waiter. The order was also wrong, but that would be fine (a side dish was missing). 20 minutes later it still wasn't there. Paid and left.

Nice location and nice staff. The food surprised us positively. Definitely worth recommending.

Super essen super Inneneinrichtung, freundliches Personal!!! Schönes Atmosphäre mit den vorbeifahrenden Zügen..

What a nice place, so full of history. The entire atmosphere of the old Lisse station has been preserved, complete with the waiting rooms. It feels like you are in a very small intimate restaurant. It's also nice that trains still pass by, although they no longer stop here. I first had ginger tea with a cake, later I had a portion of bitterballen with mustard mayonnaise. Everything was very tasty.

Great lunch, nice location and playground

Looked lovely. We were hungry after cycling. A waitress indicated where to sit. Unfortunately then we were just completely ignored , staff just walking past us. No one came to take our order for ages. Eventually we just had to give up and we walked out. No one even noticed. What a shame! Nice place let down by terrible customer service.

Best sandwich of our lives! The club chicken is to die for!!

We did not eat here, but parked the car. Ideal base for cycling trips between the bulb fields.

Food is quite bad for the price and entire main ingredients were removed from dishes. Cute place, would walk around but don’t stop by

Sadly the service is absolutely appalling. Forgot half the order didn't take responsibility for it. The staff also rather rude and incapable of admitting they screwed up.

We were planning to have a drink, with something tasty on the side, but we left it at 2 coffees. The requested, and still somewhat affordable filled cookie was not there, and what was there were small pieces, or chunks for a much too high price. Never mind, we can spare the money, but the prices are ridiculously high, and not fun anymore. Not a bad word about the location and the service, neat, and fun. Only more boycotts should be done because of the extremely high asking prices of drinks and something tasty on the side. Maybe then the prices will drop again, and more will be spent ☺️

Nice atmosphere. Not cheap. That's fine, but it wasn't proportionate here. Miniature cola, bottled beer and a handful of chips with a burger costing over 21 euros. In my opinion, at this price point, that should be draft beer and good fries.

A very beautiful old train station that has been converted into a catering station. Each waiting room has its own theme. We only made a quick stop on a bike tour. The tomato soup as a snack was great. There is access via the platform for wheelchair users.

Delicious apple pie with real whipped cream! Nice terrace next to the railway. Nostalgic, with tasty dishes.

Very nice for lunch. Friendly service

The food itself was fine and the staff was friendly. Unfortunately it seemed very understaffed, because we had to wait a very long time for our lunch and we weren't asked for extra drinks in the meantime. I hope the problem will be resolved.

I went there on a Saturday, it was about 75% occupied but unfortunately that was too much for the staff to handle. We ordered two drinks which came fast but then when we ordered our food (only two club sandwich), it took 45 minutes to arrive and not once did any of the staff members came by, I had to go ask myself. When the food arrived, one of the sandwiches (fish) was completely different from what the menu said which is a big no-no. The price was steep, 15 Euro for a Club Sandwich but the quality is nothing special. The staff was nice when at the table and the ambiance is also nice but this place is in over its head.

The four of us had a nice and enjoyable lunch here yesterday. Pleasant reception and service. You sat in a room at the station decorated with old suitcases and clocks. You also saw the trains passing by. Everything is clean and well maintained. And a compliment to the service. Even though they were busy, they made time for you and the dishes came quickly. Easily accessible and parking.

What a fantastic location.. restaurant in the real old style of the station building.. you will be amazed.. there are several waiting areas where you can eat or drink, so not in a large room.. the food was delicious and certainly enough 👍 the service very friendly! In short, for us it was an outing and an experience, definitely recommended!!

The building is attractive and consists of several 'rooms' where you can sit comfortably and order something. We ordered a combination of a soup with 2 sandwiches. The good: it's tasty. Side note: both the sandwiches and the soup are a bit small. The soup is not in a normal soup bowl, but in a glass jar of questionable dimensions. In terms of size, the sandwiches are between 'snacks' and 'sandwiches'. An example of "shrinkflation". The building is attractive and breathes history. We were there in mid-January and it was cold and bleak. The heating cannot keep up. Warm clothing is recommended.

Nice place. Nice playground outside..we were a part of 5. Place was quite empty (less than 25% of the tables were occupied. We were made to wait until they gave us a table (12:00 Saturday noon on a freezing day). We were accompanied into wachtkamer 3 after waitress was looking in Wachtkamer 1 (which had a few empty tables). After sitting and ordering, we were suddenly told we needed to leave as they needed the table (not reseated at another table). Never experienced such a thing before.

Beautiful building, lovely customer-oriented people and delicious food. Missed a bit more choice in vegetarian dishes. Ample parking.

Warm apple pie and still frozen on the inside... that's not allowed. And certainly not for that price

Super cozy, atmospheric place for a high tea! We received a varied selection of snacks, tea and drinks and it was all delicious. Two downsides were that it took quite a while before the food was served (about 45 minutes) and even though I had indicated in advance by telephone and on site that I was allergic to tomatoes, I received tomato soup and tomato on all sandwiches. Fortunately, the soup could be exchanged.

Very nice and cozy location. It is also fun for children here

The only perfect thing is the acoustics, you can hardly hear each other if more tables are occupied.

Nice place and location. The interior has many links with its former function as a station.

Yesterday afternoon we sat down and after a while an employee came with the question. Would you like something to drink or eat? It was too busy to eat If I may give a tip, putting a plate out when you are full is more customer friendly

Had high tea at the intermediate station for my birthday. It was really well organized and we had a great time🥰

Super nice place with delicious food and fantastic friendly service. My new favorite ❤️.

Na ruim een kwartier op het terras wachten naar binnen om te vragen of we iets konden bestellen. ‘Een drankje oké, maar lunch niet, het is te druk’, was het antwoord. Mijn inziens kan dat ook gezegd worden als de serveerster de gast het terras op ziet lopen, maar nee, totaal genegeerd. Binnen 2 tafeltjes bezet, buiten 5. Nodigt niet echt uit daar nog eens naartoe te gaan.

Pleasant lunch, great service and a good relaxed atmosphere.

Nice place for a nice lunch! Slightly pricey but large portions

Toasted sandwich with something soft. Fine. Nice terrace and nice staff

Cozy restaurant with very tasty sandwiches and delicious fries!!

Even er tussenuit.... maar het was alles behalve gezellig. Eén dame was alles behalve vriendelijk; zonder te vragen of we kwamen om te lunchen legde zij de menu's op tafel. Het glas met water (€ 3,80) voor mijn thee was half vol; waarschijnlijk niet meer dan 100cc. De biertjes zaten gelukkig in flesjes. We bestelde ook een plankje met wat zoetigheden voor € 6,50. Het waren 4 piepkleine koekjes, waar we vooral hard om moesten lachen. Deze koekjes koop je bij de HEMA, waarschijnlijk voor € 1,99 voor een zak. Ongelofelijk duur!

Original train station with snacks, drinks and children's play area. Trains don't stop there but rush past.

Delicious High Thea, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere.

Reserved the day in advance for a breakfast for 3 people on Tuesday at 9:30 am during the children's holiday. Upon arrival, there were 4 other tables occupied both inside and outside. What stood out is the nice location. A beautiful old train station where many trains still pass by. Very nice. When we entered, no one spoke to us, even though we were noticed by young staff in the kitchen wearing a black T-shirt. After 10 minutes we were assigned a table by a friendly (older 40+) lady. What stood out were the high prices. 7.50 for a breakfast platter. We opted for breakfast of 3 pancakes with Greek yogurt, honey and fruit. This was very tasty. Our child had the conductor's breakfast. This was also fine. It's a shame that we had to wait at least 55 minutes for our breakfast. This while only 5 tables were occupied, including ours. The older lady (40+) at the counter seems to have difficulty keeping an overview and especially managing the young staff. As a result, it was not pleasant for us as customers to have to wait so long and we did not feel welcome. If the young staff had been more committed and customer-friendly, the rating would have been a lot higher. The lady who served us apologized for the long wait. We heard that she did this to more customers. A shame because the location and food are good. The location is authentically decorated. There is a nice large playground for small children. The terrace is located next to the track in the sun. There was ample parking during our visit on a weekday Tuesday morning during the children's holidays. During our visit we heard several customers say that they had a social deal reservation. When we looked up what this was, we saw that the price for the breakfast board was 10 euros cheaper. So you would be wise to visit via social deal. Unfortunately we did not know this.

Nice place to have lunch or coffee.

Food was tasty but not special. We had breakfast and it was certainly not worth 20 euros per person. Making food took an awfully long time. Not useful with children. Nice atmosphere, nice that the trains keep passing by.

The nicest place in Lisse for all your breakfasts, lunches and coffee

De plek is origineel, de bediening vriendelijk en het eten redelijk goed, maar het is wel voor het laatst dat wij hier kwamen, want de prijzen - achttien Euro voor een bord met sla of vijf Euro voor een minuscuul zakje frietjes - zijn simpelweg te hoog.

Very nice restaurant, a favorite of mine. Decor is nice and food good. The interior is noisy due to the old building.

Reserved a high tea for 4 people for my mother's birthday via Social deal at the Tussenstation. Upon arrival we were told that due to staff shortages it would all take a little longer. After 45 minutes I carefully asked if it would take long and was told that it was very busy but that they would be working on it. After an hour and a half we asked again when we could expect our food and were told that we had better go because they were not going to make it. After an hour and a half we stood outside hungry again without having eaten anything. Very disappointing. We have always had a satisfying meal here, but no more Intermediate Station for us for the time being.

Booked a high tea via Social Deal. Very brief high tea. We had been there a while ago, when it was of very good quality and the quantity was twice as much. Unfortunately this time it was very disappointing. Even for the Social Deal price (20 euros), this high tea is really not worth it.

Nicely decorated location, created a cozy atmosphere. Acoustics are very poor, with 2 occupied tables you have to shout quite loudly at each other. I was there with my grandmother who is hearing impaired and uses a hearing aid, and it was difficult to communicate. Also had a nice lunch, great!

Been a while ago The food, the atmosphere and the service were all okay, worth repeating

Already had high tea several times. Sit comfortably and comfortably

Great place for lunch, drinks, high tea in very attractive surroundings!

Had high tea there Very nice with tasty food and different flavors of tea

The worst experience in years! 38 euro for 2 rock-hard frozen eggs, 2 mini!!croissants from Lidl, 2! flapjacks and 4 pieces of ham and cheese. Oh, and you need to wait for it to come for 25 minutes. And 10 eur for kids menu that is half a piece of bread, mini croissant and 1 flapjack. Outrageous

Not normally expensive for what you get. Unfortunately, the relationship is not right

A very authentic, very enjoyable place. It is designed as 3 separate rooms and each room has incredible nostalgic objects and decorations. While this is a former train station, it now serves as a restaurant designed faithfully to the original building. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious coffee! Nice case, lots of nice details.

Excellent establishment in the former Lisse station. Very friendly staff, clear menu and pretty good food. You can also hold a reception, drinks or high tea there. Not much wrong with that.

Mother buys two slices of apple pie and two bottles of drinks for more than €27. Absurd prices!

Delicious coffee and apple pie and friendly service. Nice to see the trains passing by.

Good place for breakfast before going seeing tulips.

Ha nice, first a cup of coffee and then something to eat. But that didn't work. I was sitting at a table near the kitchen. I saw 6 different employees in their black T-shirts with logos walk past several times, but no one spared me a glance. Saw them walking in and out of the indoor restaurant, but never with drinks or food. About 8 of the outside tables were filled, and perhaps the staff thought that was enough. I wonder if the staff even knows which industry they work in. Would find it very strange that they get paid for this service. I also wonder if the owner even knows what kind of uninterested staff he has walking around. After 15 minutes we got up to get something somewhere else. No, so didn't eat anything, didn't drink anything, had no service, just contempt, and an extremely strange negative atmosphere.

The best beef sandwich I've ever had in my life

Stopped here for lunch during a bike ride. I was very shocked by the prices on the lunch menu and drinks menu. We decided to have lunch somewhere else.

Very nice restaurant, we ate a delicious and hearty breakfast there. The staff was very pleasant and helpful to us!

Super nice to have a bite to eat A top tent

Had a great lunch. Pleasant service.
