Restaurant 'De Bootsman' in Stegeren

Food was good, ambiance a bit less :)

Grabbed a nice seat on the terrace, super delicious bitterballen.

Had a lovely dinner on the terrace. The pork tenderloin and Irish steak were delicious. There was a bit of an overabundance of onions, though, but oh well, you don't have to eat everything. Tasty Dame Blanche and coffee to finish.

Had a delicious lunch, the food was delicious and the service was very friendly.

Thanks for the extra attention and the good company, see you soon

Super service and the quality is great, had a lovely meal on the terrace and as a bonus got to experience the solar eclipse.

Nice spot, great for lunch. Good staff.

Delicious food on the beautiful terrace. Great location.

Perfect opportunity to end a wonderful holiday.

Stopped for a quick ice cream. Nice service and delicious ice cream. Caramalita is highly recommended.

Delicious and hospitable in an inviting location

Had a delicious meal, menu from 20 years ago, no trendy sushi bites but delicious old-fashioned shrimp cocktail and steak, and apple compote, large portions certainly enough! And above all, good service, you don't find that in the Randstad anymore! The staff takes time for a chat even though it's full! Highly recommended!

Had a delicious meal, friendly staff and great service (also for our dog)

Excellent restaurant, good staff, and a place where you can eat well.

The area is running a bit run-down. The food was good.

It was nice on the terrace, lunch was good!

A small, good lunch menu. Soup and egg dishes are very tasty. You immediately feel at ease here.

Had a tasty meal and polite service, price okay.

Nice place to get away for a while. It gets even more beautiful when the weather is nice outside.

We were there the day before yesterday. Judging by how busy the restaurant was, it seemed to be in good shape. We ordered steak and an entrecote with fries and vegetables. I was shocked by the poor quality for the high price. The steak looked like it had been cooked in a hairdryer, and the entrecote was almost impossible to cut. A piece of broccoli and five carrots were either from the day before or had been left over from cooking and then perhaps briefly reheated. I've never eaten so badly. I sent it back and didn't have to pay for the entrecote. Absolutely not recommended!

Very friendly welcome. The young waiter enjoys his work and makes small talk with everyone. The croquettes with bread and Grolsch rosé beer went down well.

Had a delicious meal tonight. Friendly service, so we will definitely come back to discover the rest of the menu.

A beautiful restaurant with a large terrace that we made wonderful use of... super cozy.

Had a delicious gluten-free lunch. They checked politely in the kitchen. We did have to wait a long time, even though it was quiet.

There isn't even herb butter! You would surely expect that for a restaurant. They do have boiled potatoes, but no fried potatoes; they couldn't make that out of it either!

We came to eat at De Bootsman today, but were turned away at the door. Really worth 1 star. Afterwards, we ate at Ekkelenkamp Ommen, where we were warmly welcomed. I will never come here again.

Delicious 12 o'clock and mint tea

The overall impression was a bit dated. The bread on the bread board was delicious, but the herb butter had been sitting in the fridge for ages. It was stale and tasted like a refrigerator. The meat was mostly dry, truly dry. We pointed this out, but the staff didn't respond. The garnishes on the plate were sufficient and fine. The food arrived quickly, though.

Omelet is super delicious. 12 o'clock is also great. The Double Dutch cucumber watermelon drink is super refreshing and truly delicious.

Horrible people, these people are not worth points

Delicious food at a fair price. Friendly service, too.

Above-average food quality for a very reasonable price. Suitable flavor combination, prompt and friendly service, even though it was quite busy.

Restaurant De Bootsman in Stegeren ⭐ only worth 1 star. A huge disappointment. The staff was polite and friendly, but the service was lacking. The sirloin steak was a large piece of meat, only half of which was edible – the rest was tendon. When we mentioned this, they simply said we were "unlucky" that it wasn't a good cut. Nothing further was done about it. The presentation of the plate looked sloppy, as if everything had been randomly placed there. The vegetables were minimal: a single head of broccoli, two carrots that seemed to need to be cleaned. The spareribs even contained only a little cabbage. The Grand Dessert was also meager: a few profiteroles, a piece of cake, a chocolate, and a single scoop of ice cream with whipped cream, far below what the name suggests. The restaurant itself gives a somewhat dated impression. Flickering lights, candles on the table that aren't lit – it looks like faded glory. While the service remained friendly, everything took a long time, and no effort was made to improve our experience. And then there's the price: it's completely out of proportion to the quality. Far too expensive for what you get. For us, this was a one-time visit: once, but never again.

During a motorcycle trip, I stopped at De Bootsman for a cappuccino with apple pie. Had a lovely time sitting on the terrace. Prompt and friendly service. Nice place for a stopover.

We had a delicious meal at De Bootsman in Stegeren. The service was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommended! If we lived nearby, we would definitely come here more often!

Nice place to relax and enjoy yourself.

Just had dinner at this restaurant at 12 o'clock. We sat on the lovely outdoor terrace. Excellent service and friendly staff. With thick slices of freshly baked bread and an extra egg, it would have been perfect. Nothing wrong with that!

This is an old-fashioned restaurant. Many of the guests are over 60. The bread beforehand wasn't good, and the sole was a complete failure (no flour, tasteless). The sirloin steak was fine, the pepper sauce was awful. But the large carrots and string beans, boiled without seasoning, were simply unavoidable. The kids had chicken nuggets and fries. The chicken nuggets were truly mediocre, with hardly any flavor. Sorry, the kitchen needs a clean sweep. So, skip it. The service was very friendly and very kind, but the food was truly awful.

Very tasty food and excellent value for money. The food was really good – the flavor was spot on. Large portions, more than enough, especially for the price. You definitely get value for your money here. Highly recommended. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating!

Highly recommended! We chose the mussels, and they were truly exquisitely prepared—exactly as they should be. Deliciously fresh, perfectly seasoned, and served with care. What made the experience extra special was the service: genuinely friendly, enthusiastic, and incredibly attentive. You can tell they enjoy their work and truly go the extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful evening. In short: delicious food, a warm atmosphere, and top-notch service. Hats off to the entire team!

Rude, short. Long wait. They forgot about us

Staff very friendly, food wasn't special.

Second time we are here really heeeeerlijk staff is very friendly! Thanks toppers! Because of you we want to move to this neighborhood because it is so cozy here <3 that is why I really do not understand the negative reactions I think it was a mistake with placing under this restaurant this needs more than 5 stars.

Cozy terrace under the trees, nice in warm weather and a nice stop for motorcyclists

Lovely terrace 100 metres from our holiday home. We had a lovely meal here on my wife's birthday. Our dog is also welcome and immediately stole the hearts of the staff.

As always, friendly welcome, great food. Don't change anything and we'll keep coming back.

Went here for dinner last weekend. The starter was delicious, the main course the Mix grill was very bad, the steak medium cooked was very dry and had no taste, the pork tenderloin was dry and tasteless as were the spare ribs, they didn't have the potatoes that were on the menu. The vegetables the carrots had white flakes on them so old, the broccoli was brown and yellow. Everything looked old certainly not fresh. I would drive past it!!

De plek zelf is gezellig. Voor het eten hoef je t niet te doen. Tenminste als je goed eten wilt hebben. Ze hebben een heel belangrijke ingrediënt vergeten : liefde. En dat is te proeven. Jammer geld....

Alles was gewoon bacher de schnitzel was lauw/koud en ik gaf het aan bij de serveerster en die bracht het weer naar de keuken en 't leek alsof ik er 1 uit het frituur kreeg 1 vette hap

After a long walk we had a drink and something to eat, it was great!

Had a delicious carpaccio salad!

Prima asperges en spareribs gegeten. Fijne en attente bediening door een team van jonge mensen en een iets oudere mevrouw. Aanrader, wij gaan er binnenkort zeker weer eten.

We visited with 6 adults and 5 children, all paying customers.. We kindly asked if we can put 3 tables together and the lady couldn't stop telling us how irritating that is and that we will reorder the entire terrace (we would not) and that is so annoying and cannot happen and she can't even agree on letting us have enough chairs for everyone... No further comments. This is entitlement to the next level. Food super average.

The caputino is put in a preheated cup and with warm frothed milk. That is delicious and nice and warm.

Enjoy the sun on the terrace with a nice beer and a tasty snack board

Nice place to have a drink (after walking). Fast and good service and a delicacy. My daughter wanted a babaychino, they didn't have them, but she had no problem making them. Thanks for that!

delicious food and drinks and the service was perfect

Coffee was not hot, unfortunately lukewarm.

Our registration ended up in the spam folder but we still got a table. Very attentive and friendly staff and the food was really great. We'll definitely come back again.

Very cozy, delicious food and family tactical, thoughtful service! Compliment!! ❤️

Very pleasant stay, excellent food & a good atmosphere with attentive staff. We had a nice evening together.

Friendly and very nice service. Compliments!

Tasty food friendly staff. Been there a few times, very pleasant

Very nice service and staff. The food was top. We ate spareribs here...they were very good. Can only be recommended. Prices are okay. Gladly again.

Really fantastic. Good portions of really tasty food for a fair price. Service was top notch and very fast. We go here often.

Food was delicious.....spare ribs all you can eat....and people kept asking if you still wanted and no small, emaciated ribs either.😂

Nice restaurant, friendly staff. Recommended.

Food great, service friendly and attentive in a very nice restaurant. There were nine of us there and we were all able to be served at the same time. Thank you very much

Delicious mussels! Delicious food

Had lunch in this attractive restaurant just outside Ommen.

Good friendly service, good food and not too expensive. Perfect.

Delicious farmer's omelet and goulash soup with friendly service

Had to wait way too long to order something. Cappuccino was not really hot. Order was not correct.

it was disappointing today too few/too young staff. After waiting 20 minutes, I got my drink myself. Tables were not removed and the terrace was not swept, flower boxes were desolate. It's a shame, it's such a beautiful location

Good location for lunch. Map not too big.

Friendly staff. And food and drinks perfect

Delicious meal with a group of 12, service smooth and friendly, we sat inside. Inside it was nice and spacious, outside there was a large terrace with nice seats and tables. I ordered the veal escalope myself, it was nice and tender and the taste was excellent.

Nice restaurant that has just changed owners, but the food is still excellent. It is actually always busy during the week.

Cozy terrace, fast service and delicious spareribs

Nice restaurant, friendly service staff. Good menu and reasonable prices.

After 20 nothing. The wait staff did look, but only served other people

Top spot to enjoy a snack and drink on the terrace.

Delicious lunch and extremely friendly service

Always good. Friendly staff. Nice place. Price-quality very good

Beautiful terrace and delicious food and great service.

Top restaurant, well filled plates and good quality, you can't make a wrong choice here!

Had a delicious chocolate milk with apple strudel. Delicious. Friendly, smooth service. Nice atmosphere.

We had a nice time on the terrace. Had a drink and a cup of soup.

No plant-based milk for coffee! You must be lactose intolerant! Unfortunately for me, no coffee here (I was really looking forward to it). And while a liter of oat milk costs less than €2... Please keep up with the times.

A great restaurant, good food, a great choice to eat

Good food. Beautiful location. Friendly staff

Heerlijk gegeten, genoten van de schnitzel met champignons roomsaus. Vaak zijn schnitzels droog en taai, maar hier bij de bootsman lekker mals. Mooie groente garnituur erbij en goede gefrituurde aardappeltjes. De erbij geserveerde salade had wat meer dressing mogen hebben. Kennelijk kwamen we op het spitsuur binnen en waren er te weinig mensen in de bediening. Het duurde best wel lang voordat we begroet werden en wat te drinken konden bestellen. Helaas merkte we dat het service systeem niet goed werkte (vanwege tekort aan personeel) en het daardoor wat langer duurde voordat je kon bestellen of het bestelde uitgeserveerd werd. Maar op een zomerse avond blijft het een heerlijk terras met lekker eten. Zeer zeker een aanrader.

This time vegetable butter with the vegetarian croquettes!

Enjoyed a delicious meal outside and you can easily drive in and out with your caravan (drive through).

Beautiful terrace, nice service and delicious mustard soup. Top.

Very tasty food. The spare ribs were very tender and tasty and the meat on the grill plate was also tender and juicy.

Food was fine. I personally found the Carpacio mediocre and very thick and tough. And the pork tenderloin was overcooked. Spare ribs were fine. Service was also fine. A tip to injury is that you also give the children's card if there are children with you.

Mooie locatie, gezellig restaurant, topbediening en heerlijk gegeten. Echt waar voor je geld. We hebben daardoor echt genoten van ons dagje uit in Ommen en omgeving.

If you want to go out to eat away from the "Der kleine Wolf" campsite and are hungry for ribs or New German "Spare Rips", you're in good hands here. My BBQ ribs were incredibly tender, lightly smoked and tasted amazing. Plus a small salad and fries. There was pizza for the children or, if you wanted, ribs as a children's portion. Price-performance ratio is completely fine. We were here a total of 3 times and each time we returned to the place satisfied and full.

For good, regular food and decent portions, go to nd Bootsman!
