"Die Vereinsgastätte Sportheim Sirnau, kann ich nur empfehlen. Ich esse dort schon seit Jahren, immer wieder mit Familie und Freunden und wir sind unverändert vom Essen, vom Service und der Freundlichkeit von Familie Lukač begeistert. Im Restaurant bekommt man nicht nur deutsches Essen serviert, sondern auch natürlich, die klassische, leckere kroatische Küche. Das Restaurant ist immer sehr gut besucht und in den Stoßzeiten, ist eine Reservierung zu empfehlen. Es gibt neben den Sitzplätzen im Restaurant auch eine gemütliche, überdachte Außenterasse, die auch bei Regen oder Kälte so geschlossen werden kann, dass man nicht nass wird oder frieren muss. Von der Speisekarte ist alles zu empfehlen, egal ob Rostbraten oder Grillteller, einfach lecker. Die Portionen sind reichlich und zum Essen gibt es zu den meisten Gerichten, obligatorisch einen gemischten Salat dazu. Die Preise sind angemessen, wurden allerdings in den letzten Jahren, in Richtung Obergrenze angepasst.. Ich auf jeden Fall freue mich immer wieder, wenn wir uns entscheiden, heute essen wir kroatisch und gehen zur Familie Lukač."

"Freundlicher Service, hier scheint auch kein Personalmangel zu herrschen - was ja auch ein Zeichen für ein gutes Betriebsklima ist. Obwohl das Lokal sehr gut besucht war, wurde unsere Bestellung schnell serviert. Die Portionen sind recht groß und schmecken gut. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist top. Das Restaurant ist sehr sauber, einzig das Mobiliar könnte einmal erneuert werden. Eine Reservierung ist sehr zu empfehlen."
