Timberjacks Bensheim: American BBQ Concept Solidifies Presence in Hesse

BENSHEIM, 4 February 2026 – The American-themed restaurant chain Timberjacks has confirmed that its Bensheim location is fully operational and accepting reservations, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s aggressive expansion across Germany.
Beef, Beer, and BBQ: The Bensheim Experience
Located in the heart of the Bergstraße region, Timberjacks Bensheim continues the brand’s signature “Beef, Beer & BBQ” philosophy. The establishment offers a rustic, North American log-cabin atmosphere, specialising in high-quality steaks, smoked meats, and a curated selection of craft beers. Unlike several other planned sites across the country, the Bensheim branch has successfully transitioned from development to a primary destination for local diners and fans of authentic American cuisine.
The venue features the characteristic timber architecture that has become synonymous with the brand, providing a distinct contrast to traditional German dining establishments. Management has confirmed that patrons can now secure tables through their centralised digital booking system.
Expansion Pipeline: New Locations Under Construction
While Bensheim remains a focal point for the brand’s current operations in Hesse, Timberjacks is currently overseeing a massive infrastructure programme. Several new sites are in various stages of development, aimed at bringing the “Bull Riding” and BBQ experience to new federal states. The following table outlines the current status of the Timberjacks network as of February 2026:
| Location | Operational Status |
|---|---|
| Bensheim | Active (Bookings Open) |
| Bocholt | Under Construction |
| Bannewitz | Under Construction |
| Wolfsburg | Under Construction |
| Karlsdorf | Under Construction |
A Growing Trend in German Gastronomy
The success of the Bensheim site reflects a broader trend in the German gastronomic landscape, where experiential dining—combining specific thematic environments with specialised menus—continues to see high demand. Timberjacks’ ability to maintain a consistent “Wild West” aesthetic while adhering to strict German building and food safety standards has allowed it to scale more effectively than many of its competitors in the themed-dining sector.
