In de Klaver roadhouse, a family-run establishment since 1974, offers weary travelers a nostalgic experience with its classic Dutch fare and truck-themed decor. Located on Molenweg 2 in Niebert, this eatery is open every day from 4 a.m., catering to truck drivers and locals alike.

The roadhouse is known for its generously sized schnitzels, available in various flavors, and its commitment to being open seven days a week, even after a major fire.

The atmosphere is distinctly truck-centric, with dark oak furniture, model trucks on display, and truck-themed photos and paintings adorning the walls. Adding to the nostalgic ambiance are bottles of Maggi on the tables and classic tunes playing in the background.

While the establishment offers a charging point for electric vehicles, its usability may be limited due to a sinkhole in the pavement. However, the main draw remains the food, particularly the schnitzels, which come in plain, mushroom, stroganoff, hunter’s sauce, or Hawaii variations. Vegetarian options are also available.

Side dishes include a choice of salad, pears, beans, carrots, cauliflower, spinach, fries, or fried potatoes. The tinned pears and potatoes fried in butter are particularly noteworthy.

The service is efficient and hospitable, with waitstaff who are attentive and accommodating. While some desserts, like the apple pie, may suffer from thawing issues, other options, such as the strawberry coupe with real whipped cream, offer a satisfying conclusion to the meal.

In de Klaver provides a nostalgic escape from the modern highway experience, offering a taste of traditional Dutch hospitality and hearty fare. It is a place where independent roadhouses are cherished and the simple pleasures of a classic truck stop are celebrated.
