Wegrestaurant de Lichtmis in Wijk 40 Berkum

I don't know what to call this place or these people, and I don't want to swear. I was supposed to stay until 10am, but they showed up at 6:30 and woke me up. They said I had to pay €35 for parking, so I had to get up and go to their joint to pay. They didn't give me anything for food, even though they said they gave me €15 for food. They only said I could take a shower. Overall, I'd give it minus 5 stars if I could!!!

Great restaurant with tasty food and good service. Food is served quickly.

Had delicious pancakes. Fast service and friendly staff. Very beautifully decorated inside.

We used the group room upstairs in the restaurant, which was a very good experience. Good communication beforehand, delicious food and drinks, neat, fresh rooms with a large screen and comfortable chairs, and experienced service. Perfect! Highly recommended for groups.

The plain pancake costing nearly 12 euros was lukewarm. The taste itself was reasonable. Nothing special. Not worth repeating.

Had an amazing bacon/apple pancake 👌

Remains a top restaurant with delicious meatballs.

Very neat and friendly service. Good parking for a caravan. Great

Excellent food and fast service. Would gladly come again! 👍

Very satisfied with the park and the top staff and management. Very attentive because we had bad luck with the bike rack while waiting for roadside assistance. Coffee from the park, super job Landal t Loo.

Wonderful stopover on our trip!! Tasty pancake with surprising toppings. Friendly staff. Beautiful, clean restrooms. Easily accessible for wheelchairs via lift. In short. Deservedly 5 *****

What we ordered was served nicely by friendly waiters, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. This restaurant is highly recommended for a delicious meal in a pleasant setting.

Stopped there by chance on the way back from Limburg to grab a bite to eat. How amazing. Great atmosphere. Food super tasty, compliments to the chef. Will definitely be back. 👌👌👌👌

Just had a quick lunch. It was all good. Nothing spectacular or anything, but neat and proper.

We had a delicious meal, highly recommended.

A bit pricey, but highly recommended.

Service friendly and fast. Food good. Due to the busy Ascension Day, we got a table in the corner.

The staff was not very friendly and what you get for the price is disappointing. The spareribs were quite dry.

Had a delicious meal, very affordable.

The steak was a thick hunk of meat; it was slightly seared in the pan but still raw on the inside. Sent it back, after which it was fine, but they hadn't added any mushrooms, which were supposed to be part of the dish. We ate with 6 adults and 3 children and received one bowl of fries and potatoes, whereas you get the same thing if you are with 2 people. We asked for another bowl, but after half an hour it still hadn't arrived, so we indicated that we should just forget about it. The children's pancakes were just store-bought ready-made pancakes! It is a real shame that it was so disappointing.

Nice location to eat and drink.

Oh dear. Deep-fried meatball instead of gravy. What a shame. Service not up to par!

Went to eat at this restaurant today. It looked incredibly cozy and the cinnamon apple pancake is highly recommended. But you can forget about service. You are barely attended to, and if you signal to the waiter that you would like something, countless other things are done before he arrives. Yes, and once it is your turn and you indicate that it has taken too long, words are shouted that I will not repeat myself. Very disappointing.

Parking is €35. No bonuses. April 30, 2026 I still don't understand why it's so expensive.

Super beautiful restaurant (we went for drinks with a group of 9), but the service was terrible! A terribly grumpy waiter! Not recommended…

Great value for money, sweet and friendly service

Parking costs 35€, of which you get a free shower and toilet.

It used to be a wonderful place for trucks to take a break along the road, but since the renovation it's absolutely rubbish. The whole idea of ​​a roadside restaurant is that you can just walk in and grab a quick bite to eat in a cozy atmosphere, but no, here you practically have to make a reservation just to get mediocre food, and the atmosphere is completely gone too. It feels more like a snobs' get-together now than the roadside restaurant it was for over 100 years before they got too stingy and kicked truck drivers aside.

Visited for the first time since the opening and it has turned out beautifully. The food is still high quality and affordable too. The traditional bread ball looks very different now, but the taste is good.

Top service, top food, and a great price. Highly recommended!!!

We ate there again for the first time with 8 people since the new building opened. The staff is very friendly and helpful, a 20+. The food was also very good and everything was served reasonably quickly despite the fact that almost the entire restaurant was full; compliments to the kitchen. And everything is reasonably affordable.

Terribly unpleasant man working here. He is threatening me in the parking lot. Presumably the owner.

They just charged me €35 for parking and told me I didn't get any discount; I had to pay for food separately. So, €35 for a parking lot with no restrooms after 10 PM... the food was good, but ridiculously expensive. I absolutely do not recommend it. €35 for a bad, noisy parking lot with no service is a rip-off. I really don't recommend it. I'm giving it one star because I have to, but it doesn't deserve it.

Today, a Dutchman behaved badly in a parking lot... he banged on your car to make you pay for parking... the parking lot is not marked as paid and he asks for 35 euros and then he starts taking out his phone and calling the police because you don't want to pay him... avoid this parking lot

Good food at a reasonable price. Recommended.

The food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Had a delicious fried egg here on the way, Nice restaurant, good quality. Yummy, we will definitely come here for a bite to eat more often.

We had a delicious meal; the spareribs were excellently seasoned and cooked!

I arrived at the parking lot on March 27, 2026. The cost was 35 euros. The cost is per car and per parking space. You can use the restroom free of charge. In the morning, I went to take a shower and on the way out, they told me I had to pay 7.5 euros for it. Disappointing.

Great experience! The waiter was very friendly and cheerful, the place was very classy and comfy, and the food was so delicious! We really enjoyed it! The pasta was just as good as at the Italian restaurant, we will definitely come back ^^ We had 3 courses for 50 euros p.p.

March 25, 2026. I arrived on a weekday at 7:20 PM, and there was only one free spot left. Previously, €15 for food was acceptable, but now dinner is no longer included in the parking fee. At least the shower is still free. €35 and no refund for food 🤷‍♂️ In my opinion, that's wasted money. March 25, 2026. I arrived on a weekday at 7:20 PM, and there was only one parking spot left. Previously, €15 could be used for food, but now dinner is no longer included in the parking fee. At least the shower is still free. €35 with no food voucher 🤷‍♂️ In my opinion, it's wasted money.

Beautiful, atmospheric restaurant; we were able to get a table without a reservation. Super nice. Friendly staff, definitely recommended and worth a return visit.

We really liked the play area and the service was very sweet; it definitely deserves five stars.

A lovely spot for a delicious meal along the A28. Extensive menu, good quality food, clean tables, very warm and atmospheric decor. Highly recommended for lunch or dinner if you are driving along the A28.

Nice new restaurant. Close to the highway

A really nice place to speak SF, grab a savory bite or a drink on the way, good food, friendly service, and just cozy. The separate kids' corner is a godsend for young parents. Special Palm on tap!!!!

With the whole family (6 people) On the way back from Wild Lands, we had a delicious meal, attentive service, and more than enough portions. Highly recommended.

It's become my go-to spot for a bite to eat. The food is excellent and the service is also superb. The Lichtmis steak is highly recommended, and since the renovation, it's also a beautiful location.

I did pay for parking after 9 PM and have been charged €20 for parking and €15 for food beeing told that I can use the food voucher in the morning. When I went back to restaurant after 7AM ive been told they won't serve breakfast so I took a coffee and water. Presuming that my voucher covers the bill I went back to the truck only to be followed by the guy who asked me to pay €7.25. I went back in, paid the coffee and water but I demanded my €15 I paid for food. He wasn't very happy but he just took my voucher and reimbursed my money. Parking is noisy, no security, and stinky. This guy who was there in the morning is arrogant towards drivers.

Didn't get any salad but had to pay full price

The soup was lukewarm, but I got fresh ones. The meat was also lukewarm, and the fries were also lukewarm and limp. I didn't feel like saying anything about it anymore. I think the staff were too short, so the food sat around too long before being served. All in all, a huge disappointment. The only positives were the atmosphere and decor. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

You simply MUST eat spareribs here; they're nowhere better than in this place! Service

Parking is a nightmare, but I understand they're working on it. Friendly service. It did take a long time to get our food, over an hour between ordering and being served. The chicken satay was delicious and plentiful, but the spare ribs my son ordered weren't very good and came with only one sauce, and very little at that. Perhaps offering a selection of sauces would be a good idea. The prices are definitely steep, and the menu selection is somewhat disappointing. The dessert menu, in particular, wasn't particularly special. All in all, quite good, but on the expensive side.

A particularly atmospheric place for a roadside restaurant. Delicious food, generous portions. Friendly staff.

The food is fast. There's little privacy, and you're sitting too close together.

The food was delicious. Top-notch from start to finish! The service was fast and courteous. Definitely worth a return visit.

What a charming place, and oh, what a delicious meal we had! The quality is absolutely perfect, delicious!

Ate here again for the first time since the reopening. It was good old-fashioned, with excellent service and delicious food. The decor and decoration are truly beautiful. What a treat to eat here again after such a long time.

Modern highway restaurant. It has nothing to do with the old hut. A nice play area for the kids. It's a shame there are so few parking spaces for trucks.

Personally, I think paying 8.50 for a shower is too much…

Super beautiful building, high-quality good food! Slightly long waiting time and a severe shortage of parking spaces; people were parking along the road and in truck parking spots.

Great quality, but it definitely comes with a price tag. It depends on how much you want to treat yourself, of course.

Old-fashioned in a new guise but still a good driver's cafe

Delicious food. Large portions, nice, cozy atmosphere. There's a separate playroom for kids. Pancakes are always a hit with kids.

Drinks took a little longer to arrive. The food was delicious and the service was friendly.

What a beautiful building that has been restored to its former glory. Cozy decor, friendly staff, and excellent cuisine with a wide variety of options. We had a delicious meal.

Friendly staff. We even brought our dog inside. We had delicious late-night snacks.

We've been coming here for over 10 years, even at the old restaurant. Recently, we wanted to eat at your place again in the new building, but were told there was no room for us. We were regulars and never had to make reservations, but now we're told we have to make a reservation. We think it's such a shame that we won't be coming back. It's a shame, once again, that you're letting regular customers go.

What a beautiful, modern building! We went to the new McDonald's today. It's very clean and quiet. Two floors of food, and on the second floor, your food is brought up to you by elevator.

The picture does not do the restaurant justice

It turned out to be a beautiful restaurant. Delicious food.

Good resting place and strategically located

It's described as a roadside restaurant, but it's really good! It looks beautiful both inside and out. The atmosphere and decor are very cozy, modern, and new. The service is very friendly and helpful, and the food is truly delicious! You can go there for excellent chicken satay, but also for more luxurious dishes and a variety of pancakes. We're very satisfied!

Highly recommended. Great ambiance and a pleasant atmosphere. Good food and generous portions. Free showers are also available for truck drivers. I'll definitely be back.

If you want to wait a long time for mediocre food and no service this is the place to be!

What a cozy restaurant with friendly staff. Nice decor and a superb kitchen with delicious dishes. Definitely worth a return visit.

Very affordable with tasty pancakes!

We regularly visit this restaurant because our children love the food here. This was our first time in the new restaurant, which looks very nice and inviting. The service is also very friendly and helpful. Our only complaint is that the parking lot is very busy because there's now a McDonald's in the same building.

A beautiful building. It gives the impression of a luxury restaurant, right next to the highway. Friendly service; the table was prepared immediately when we told them we didn't have a reservation. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. Plenty of choices, something for everyone.

It turned out super nice! Good food

As a truck driver you are not treated well, in the past the driver was number 1, now parking is also a big drama in the evening they just let the drivers go when there are luxury cars parked in the place of the trucks, they do nothing about it, no, the lichmis is no longer that

Dear owner, I rarely, if ever, leave reviews, but unfortunately felt the need to do so for this restaurant. I hope you don't immediately think I'm complaining, but I hereby share my honest opinion and experience. I'd like to begin by thanking you for the warm and friendly welcome. We were warmly welcomed and told to wait a short while for a table at the bar. We were given a lovely, cozy table! Afterward, a young woman greeted us and took our orders. Drinks went smoothly, but there was a considerable delay between ordering drinks and dinner. Unfortunately, it took so long that we had to take the initiative to order ourselves. We asked to order, which thankfully went smoothly, and in the meantime, another server asked for another drink. We noticed a significant difference in the staff's effort. We found this quite remarkable, and we were somewhat bothered by the staff's less efficient behavior. We followed her for a long time, and she often stood still and rarely looked at the guests. When we received our food, we were very impressed and it tasted very good. Unfortunately, my chicken breast was still a bit raw inside, which was a bit of a drawback. We were served fries and enjoyed them so much that we asked for more. Something went wrong here, as they were passed on, but our server forgot. Because of this, we had to ask again. This took far too long, and we were already finished eating before we received the fries. This was very mediocre and a shame. The company also lost revenue because we weren't asked again for drinks. Overall, we found the staff to be quite unfriendly. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the food looked well-prepared! It was a shame about the experience with our server that evening.

Food is delicious and very nice the service is also good

When you arrive as a driver, there's no room, it's completely packed. It looks great, but there wasn't room for real drivers. All the people who normally never eat out. It's great that things are going well after the renovation, but Lichtmis is no longer a truckers' cafe.

Neat new place, with a familiar, clear menu. Wonderful aroma, you'd love to sit here for a while...

A cozy roadside restaurant on the A28 where you can still enjoy a good meal for a reasonable price. Friendly staff and the quality is excellent. 👍👍

Recently reopened after a fire destroyed the entire restaurant. New restaurant, beautifully decorated while retaining its charm as a truck stop.

A lovely, atmospheric restaurant, but the service deserves a big fail! We had to ask if we could order anything else after we'd already been sitting for a while. Apparently, the staff preferred to eat something themselves and chat behind the bar. We ordered a cappuccino and finally received it after a long wait. When we pointed out that we'd been waiting a long time, we received an inappropriate comment. It turned out there wasn't any sugar, but it tasted fine without it. After waiting a while longer, lunch arrived. The food was delicious. When we paid, we were asked if we were satisfied. We told him the whole story. He (we hadn't had him at our table, so he didn't know anything) said he would take it up with his colleagues because he felt very sorry for us. Of all the waitstaff, he was the only one who seemed to take his job seriously and was enthusiastic, etc. I also said I wanted to tip for the food, but it's about the overall experience, so no tip. Basically, they don't see us here anymore, they'd rather have a pistol from the gas station... What I also found very strange was that the toilets are upstairs... up the stairs...

The biggest middle finger to the driver! Previously, the world's worth of trucks could fit here. Now, only 10 trucks.

I was just with my grandson to eat a meatball. Sat inside for ten minutes, no one came, left again, didn't come, so I didn't get anything

We were hoping to have lunch at this beautiful, newly renovated restaurant on our way to Groningen. However, there's nothing (yet) on the menu for vegetarians and/or vegans. Too bad!! So, not suitable for us. So we just stuck with coffee ☕️ It was okay! The staff is friendly! Prices are steep for those who do find something tasty on the menu! 🙄 We'll keep driving from now on 🚘

Unfortunately... the place looks very cozy, so let's see what the food will be like. With Herman den Blijker as the opening guest, it must be pretty good, right? Unfortunately again... 91 euros for: a medium-rare Candlemas steak, which was way too red, a piece even raw. A chicken satay was deliciously warm, but part of it was hard and dry on the outside. Perhaps because it had been sitting too warm somewhere? Under a heat source? The biggest disappointment was the Candlemas platter as a starter. 15 euros per person! For two prawns, one small bowl (the size of a tea bag dish) of carpaccio, a small bowl of thinly sliced ​​brie, olives (they looked like olives from a glass bottle in a Christmas hamper), and two small pieces of spare ribs that were so terribly dry! Luckily, the two pre-baked rolls were warm. It was so little that even 15 euros for the entire platter would be absurdly overpriced, let alone 30 euros! The staff indicated that guests had already made that comment. We didn't dare try dessert. Off to go home for coffee! We won't be eating at Lichtmis again. It's a shame, it looks so cozy... too expensive, too bad, too little.

This is the place to be Everything is perfectly arranged In the new building, super

Maybe I made the wrong choice, but my toasty chicken doner was very mediocre for the amount it cost.

We had Candlemas dinner with three colleagues this evening, and we weren't particularly impressed. We waited 15 minutes for our beer, were told the bar was super busy, even though the restaurant was half empty. We received our main course without fries and vegetables, which we didn't receive until half of the main course was finished. Finally, we ordered a cappuccino, which they don't add sugar to! A missed opportunity.

Best place to eat only parking for trucks not much space

Ate meatball and fries, meatball, excellent fries, very poor quality, price with peanut sauce and mayonnaise, cola 15.40 euros, I think it's too expensive

For truck drivers: There are about 10 parking spaces that are almost always empty. Parking costs €35/day. For each day you get a €15 voucher that you can use in the restaurant. The parking price includes shower/toilet. The showers are spacious and clean. The toilets too. There is also a McDonalds in the parking lot. (You can't use the voucher there) 👎 I wanted to order something to take away but was refused because they were too crowded! I said I would come back later. When I came back, the person who was seating people at the tables rolled his eyes and refused me again, this time saying that they didn't have takeaway packages. In the end I was offered the option to eat in the restaurant The food was ok, except for the fries which were very hard and full of oil. The waiters were very nice, they spoke English. Overall it was an ok experience. If you park here I recommend using the voucher at lunch. It is very crowded in the evening, especially on weekends

Good Mocca d’or coffee and tasty, nicely presented apple pie

Great restaurant, nice atmosphere.
