Ahoi Steffen Henssler Otterndorf in Otterndorf

Everything was fine. The menu was a bit sparse, but the food was delicious. No card payments were accepted on the day of our visit.

A wonderful visit to Ahoi Otterndorf. Everything was great. Food great. Service great. We felt very comfortable here.

Discovered by chance and tried without expectations. And then it happened friendly service great, fun, open-minded team great food with great quality and a good explosion of taste Thank you for the great afternoon in Otterndorf

Nice atmosphere, delicious food and although not cheap, but not overpriced either.

Yesterday, October 13th, 2024, we were in the Ahoi Otterndorf. Just a question: why is the menu getting smaller and smaller (no salmon or tuna anymore, except in bowls; tuna burgers are no longer available; chicken burgers, no more aioli and no avocado, only as cream), and the portions are also getting smaller and smaller. However, prices continue to rise, inflation is actually falling... House soda 0.4l for 6.20 €...., I sincerely hope that this is a misprint that will be corrected...!! In addition, the staff is clearly more friendly and attentive!!! lost. And no, this is not due to the change in personnel. We have known most of them for years. We ate there twice every holiday. This week it will stay at one time, and most likely not at all on the next vacation! The point has slowly passed that we no longer want to afford it, even though we can! It's a shame, the location is great and actually it must be a "money printing machine", but for that the operators would have to think again and listen to the customers! Update April 2025: We have tried several times to find out information about the current prices using the contact form and direct email. We didn't receive any response even after 2 weeks. So our holiday week ends without a visit to Ahoy. There used to be two visits a week. The issue has been settled in the long run. Anyone who is not open about prices and even ignores direct inquiries will no longer see me as a guest. There are fish stalls in Otterndorf that have been around for 40 years, the Ahoi will never be able to do that. Others are happy about us money.

It was great all around !!👍 Went here for the 3rd time today and were thrilled 3 times 🤩!! We'll definitely be back!! We would like to thank 🙏 the entire team!!!

Very cozy restaurant with great service from Joey. Very attentive and nice! Food was delicious!

Great location, you can watch ships while eating! Super nice team! I like being with you! See you next time!

The location and views are unbeatable. The food is very tasty, but the price is decent, you also pay for the name. The ambience is more like in a fast food restaurant... that's okay, but we had imagined it differently.

I recently had dinner there with a friend on a Saturday evening. The food, service and ambience were completely fine, but what was slightly negative was the number of dogs in the restaurant. In principle it's absolutely not a problem, but does everyone really have to bring their dog? I can understand that you would like to stop off after a walk on the dog beach, but if the service staff has to look for a place where the 9th dog doesn't get in the way of the other 8 dogs already present, that's a limit for me too!

Hi, we were at Hensler and it was really great. A friendly welcome, delicious dinner including dessert, we were totally satisfied. We wish the owner and his team lots of fun in the coming season. Highly recommended.

Great service, great location and good food.

A huge thank you for the gigantic good salad. And the fries were a dream, we've never had anything so good about fries. Thank you very much for everything. We will definitely come back to you. Very best regards

Thanks for the wonderful and delicious lunch. Tom and team, you're amazing 😉😘!!!

Highly recommended. Very friendly service.

It's very nice here, the service was great, gladly again

Very chic, nice service, it was also delicious 😋

Very friendly service. Great view. Delicious food - what more could you want?

The restaurant itself was pretty and had a beautiful location, overlooking the sea. The server was also super friendly and patient. Unfortunately, we all got nausea and diarrhea after eating. Since we all ate almost the same thing and tasted each other's food, it quickly became clear where it was coming from. For health reasons, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food, great service and great ambience.

The food was very tasty and the service was very friendly... I can only recommend it

Super nice location... super delicious food... Henssler style fries 👍 reasonable prices and that with the view... directly on the beach in Otterndorf...

€11.80 for 2 pieces of frozen cake? Seriously?

Very tasty food, fabulous fries and the chocolate tart for dessert was the perfect ending. The staff was also very good, they always looked after everything and serving the food was quite quick. I will definitely come back.

The location is recommended because of its location on the water. Unfortunately, the food didn't convince us. We probably had too high expectations of Hennsler. Too bad. The service made up for it with their super friendly manner. Hence 3 stars.

We were super satisfied. They all had burgers that tasted really good. The children said they had never eaten such delicious fries as they did there. Food came very quickly, waiter very friendly. We'll definitely be back!

Friendly service and the boss with a Bavarian accent 😉. But I would deduct half a point. There are three reasons for this: The Henssler style didn't convince me and the menu didn't reflect that either. We were in the restaurant in mid-January and it was very cold in the restaurant. (This may also have something to do with the large window areas) The big garbage cans on the terrace really don't fit there. There is definitely another place for that. About the food: I wasn't impressed with the menu at all. The fish & chips and also the shrimp & chips as well as the salad really tasted great. The lukewarm chocolate cake was a successful ending. We couldn't enjoy the view of the Elbe due to the fog - but the restaurant can't help that either.

Nice place, probably great view when it's light. :D On-site parking The appetizers were amazing! Super tasty, just wooow! The truffle P. butter MUST be tried (a taste explosion and so incredibly delicious); dare!!! The main courses also tasted good. However, none of the dishes here were as impressive in terms of taste as the starters. It was tasty nonetheless. :) However, anyone who has very high standards or expectations based solely on the “name” should go to the table a little more calmly. ;) Service was super friendly. Price-performance was also totally OK! We liked it :) and the truffle P. butter alone is worth coming back for.

Hello, Unfortunately the “restaurant” is not recommended. Short review: Positive + nice view + Parking spaces right next to the “restaurant” Neutral • Service Negative - Cleanliness, dirt from previous guests was still under our table and was not cleared away. - Price/performance ratio, food from the Frittenbude at expensive prices - From 6 p.m. there is no more salad... - No shutters on the windows, so the sun is blinding and it is too hot in the room. - Loud ambience, loud music, no room dividers - The toilets are narrow, like a hose and dirty, paper towels are all over the floor as the trash cans are overflowing. The squat toilets were 🤮 (you don't want to read that in more detail). After dinner there is a small bowl of cold, tasteless popcorn. I have no recommendation for this “restaurant”. If you like this review, leave me a like.

Very friendly staff and the boss, super great - he also cuts a good figure as a doorman! Greetings from Priwall

Great ambience with a view of the Elbe! Very friendly staff. Food tastes good and is beautifully prepared!

Mega delicious food, great service and great ambience, I had the tuna steak, which I had never eaten before, it was a dream, with the salad pan on the side. My husband had the Teriyaki Beef Burger and loved it just as much. The portions of both dishes were huge. The price-performance ratio was more than reasonable. A very big compliment to the kitchen!!! We'll definitely be back!!!

My wife's food was inedible and my terijaki burger was so bad that I didn't eat it. When you pay 15.50 euros for a currywurst with fries and 20.50 for a terijaki burger, you expect more like a dead fried bratwurst and a dead fried patty from the freezer. The food is not worth the money and neither is the name

We were there at the weekend and received a friendly welcome. The waiter also briefly explained to us that it was a bit full and that we would get our food as quickly as possible. We thought it went pretty quickly considering it was so full. The food was super tasty. Not too much, not too little, just a good portion. We were satisfied. Will definitely come back. The view is of course also a plus point.

Far too expensive for the unfortunately no longer good quality of the food.

It was fantastic again. The food was terrific and the service was great, cheerful and competent. We'll be back 👍

In the freezing cold, we looked for a place to warm up and found it. The staff was nice, the food was good, the wine was delicious.

Das Essen war hervorragend und das Personal sehr freundlich. Preis/Leistungsverhältnis top. Gerne wieder.

After a very cold walk along the dike we stopped at Ahoi. I was able to quickly acclimatize with hot chocolate and tomato soup. My friends were also very happy with their dishes. It looked amazing, plentiful and the atmosphere was cozy too. All in all we are very satisfied. Oh, the staff was also very accommodating and our dog was also welcome 🫶🏼

Very cool shop with great food. Also very dog ​​friendly!

We are still sitting with our delicious meal. Even though all the tables are occupied, all the employees work their hardest and remain extremely friendly!!!! We would like to particularly highlight and mention Melli (our waitress) and Tom. We would love to come back here. Simply TOP!!!👍

Leider geschmacklich ein totaler Reinfall, wer Koriander als Hauptgeschmacksnote mag, ist dort gut aufgehoben. Bitte keinen Bacon zusätzlich zum Burger bestellen, das kleine Fitzelchen ist den Aufpreis nicht wert. Generell erwartet man mehr, wenn ein bekannter Koch seinen Namen für dieses Etablissement hergibt. Allerdings hätte man für weniger Geld besser beim goldenen M essen können. Service in Ordnung. Musik viel zu laut, sodass man sich nicht in normaler Lautstärke unterhalten konnte. Es zog an den Fenstern und war eher kalt im Restaurant. Als einzig positiv bleibt die bestellte Cola als Getränk in Erinnerung, 400ml bestellt und bezahlt, allerdings 500ml bekommen!

So far we have been satisfied every year. We were there before New Year's Eve. This time we had the impression that the staff there was completely overwhelmed. Customers were sent back. Food such as a side salad could no longer be offered (there was no one to cut it in the kitchen). Oh well. I think we should check what happened there. Otherwise we were always satisfied :)

Wir waren wie immer rundum zufrieden! Es war etwas kalt heute, aber trotzdem gemütlich. Essen wie immer top!

Super Servicepersonal und super essen und auch eine super Atmosphäre

A visit to Otterndorf is mandatory twice a year, I hope that I have the chance to indulge myself with the delicious food before April.

The food was very good. I had schnitzel with fries and extra sweet potato fries, which were really good. My wife had the fried fish and her plate was empty too. The view is cozy, it's definitely worth a look here. We'll be back.

Schöne moderne maritime Atmosphäre. Von allen Tischen hat man einen wunderschönen Blick auf die Medem und die Elbe. Die Speisekarte bietet moderne familienfreundliche Küche mit Burger, Bowls, Fish&Chips und diversen anderen FastFood Lieblingen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist aus unserer Sicht ok. Die Mitarbeitenden sind stets sehr freundlich, gar familiär und hilfsbereit. Wenn auch nicht immer alles ganz rund läuft, so kommen wir doch immer gerne wieder.

We were there on New Year's Eve. The food was very tasty, the staff was super friendly. It was an excellent end to the year. We'd love to come back. The only point of criticism: three out of four urinals in the men's toilet are defective, and the only one that works is the "lower" one.

Starter edamame pods, much less salt, then it would be ok. Main course teriyaki burger, meat was neither fresh nor juicy, rather gave the impression of being frozen. You would expect something different. My wife's sushi bowl was fine We made a reservation relatively late at 7:30 p.m., it gave the impression that they would have been happy to forego the reservation. Salmon and salad were sold out at this point. The room temperature was too low and there was a draft in the window. The service was polite but you had the impression that you would like to close.

Sehr leckeres Essen und auch sehr aufmerksame Bedienung. Einzig die Toiletten passen nicht zum guten Eindruck. Sie sind eng und 3 von 4 Urinalen waren defekt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

We were at Ahoy at the weekend. Delicious food, super friendly staff. I hope we continue to have such great service and great food even without Steffen Henssler.

It's a shame that the restaurant is closing, it was very tasty and very nice there

Price-performance not justified. Far too expensive for a children's burger (bun with a patty) and fries at €12. Waiter drinks alcohol while working.

Der Preisleistung nicht gerechtfertigt. Für 2 Erwachsene und zwei Kinder 100€. Davon ein Kinderburger mit Pommes 12euro viel zu teuer. Würde dort nicht noch mal essen gehen. Bedienung trinkt während der Alkohol.

Die Blumenkohlbowl war das beste Gericht, Pommes schienen zum zweiten Mal gebacken worden zu sein

Super schönes Restaurant und super lecker Essen,sehr freundliches Personal. Wcs sehr sauber. Hunde dürfen auch rein, aber bitte gut trainiert.

Fish and chips were tasty, only the fries were a bit strongly seasoned

I was there for dinner with my girlfriend and at the beginning there were 4 of us in total. We were warmly welcomed and had a lovely evening. Even when it got busier, they took good care of us without being intrusive. The food left nothing to be desired! Thanks for that :)

The first time, but not the last time ❤️

Es war ein sehr sehr schöner Abend ruhig bei Kerzenschein, bei einem wirklich sehr leckerem Essen. Wir wurden sehr gut umsorgt, man fühlte sich wie bei guten Freunden. Das Essen war ein Genuss , wir kommen garantiert wieder.

Wir waren das erste Mal da und sind sehr angenehm überrrascht gewesen. Einfach nur gut.

Ich wollte eigentlich nur einen Kaffee (nach einem tollen Spaziergang in der Sonne &am Wasser) trinken gehen, naja und vielleicht auch noch 1 stück Kuchen essen ;-) ..... Und bin wie immer (schon öfter dort gewesen) sehr freundlich & zügig bedient worden, das die Kaffeemaschine gezickt hatte und ich nun keinen Latte Macchiato bekam, da konnte ja niemand was für, aber der Kaffee war auch lecker ebenso genauso wie der Käsekuchen.... Also kurz um wie immer alles super, und jetzt zur Weihnachtszeit in tollem & gemütlichem Ambiente, komme gerne wieder und bekomme dann vielleicht auch einen Latte Macchiato ;-)....

Wir kommen gerne wieder...dann mit noch mehr Hunger, denn es ist reichlich gewesen.

Great view Nice service Food was delicious

The food is super tasty, absolutely delicious. The view of the Elbe is amazing. The music was too loud for me and the waitress was very friendly but could have come to the table a little more often 😎

Wirklich sehr nettes und aufmerksames Personal Wie immer Mega nett Wir kommen immer gerne wieder

Unfortunately the card wasn't intended for me! Food was good, service too.

Really a great shop with super friendly service and delicious food! Eight of us came without a reservation and luckily managed to get a table. But I would recommend making a reservation. There's a lot going on there! The food was super delicious! Everyone can find something on the map. Vegetarian or vegan is no problem here! We had a very nice evening with you. Thank you! Small addendum on our part: Unfortunately, the veggi burger's patty was swapped for fried zucchini. The vegan burger before was really tasty and now you have the feeling that the patty is missing. Especially given the price (16.50 including fries), I expect something different, regardless of the store. Very unfortunate. Stars stay the same because the rest of your offer is top and the service anyway.

Super nice place, great ambience. I'm finally getting to this review. It's been several weeks already. We had delicious punches, we would do it again and again. You're looking for something like that on vacation! But I have to make one point in particular, from the perspective of a restaurateur. The service and the lady who mostly served our table was top class. I think Hanna was her name. Drinks would be there very early, my beer had a great crown when it was at the table, very friendly and always looking out for our well-being. From start to finish. Greetings from the man with a long beard who folded the tip according to origami. ;-) Dear colleague Henssler (or management), pay attention to the lady! Worth gold in these times. You would always have a free seat in our restaurant in Frankfurt!! *****

The food was good and not just standard. The ambience is not bad, but could be better. It was a bit drafty. In summer, when you look at the sea, things definitely look different. The service was good and you can eat really good and moderately priced food here.

Absolutely courteous service, food was completely satisfactory: the children's burgers were finally child-friendly, i.e. patties narrow for the child's mouth, no unnecessary leafy greens, with enough fries, that's all a satisfied child needs 🫶🙌 Sure, the price is certainly above average, but at least still affordable - despite everything, highly recommended😊 and something special🤩 The view is absolutely amazing anyway 🌅🚢🌊

The service is super nice, leaves nothing to be desired and fulfills almost every wish. Food tastes fantastic. Price is at a good level, not too expensive but not cheap either. Unfortunately not barrier-free, unfortunately not barrier-friendly either. The service and the employees never gave me the feeling that my wheelchair was bothering me. But he was just on his way and went to the toilet, only if he could walk a few steps, otherwise no chance.

Nice location and nice ambience. We were served very friendly. All special requests were taken into account. Would love to come back

Overall happy with the food, service and location. It's a little outside the cities of Cuxhaven, Duhnen, etc. but you don't go to the restaurant every day.

Das Essen war klasse und sehr schön angerichtet. Der Service war schnell und sehr freundlich und das Ambiente ist klasse. Man könnte die Beleuchtung noch ein wenig besser anpassen. Aber alles in allem top, kommen auf jeden Fall wieder, da wir total begeistert waren.

Super Atmosphäre die das ahoi da ausstrahlt immer einen Besuch wert Personal top Essen top Ambiente top

Super good fries Leckerer Lachs, interessante Soßen. Friendly service. Preis gehoben, aber nicht überteuert Updated 11/01/2024 Waren im Sommer auch da, auch viele Gäste unserer Ferienwohnungen. Was always good and very friendly. Jetzt gibt's die Winterkarte wieder und somit auch die leckeren Fischgerichte. Hab mor heute wieder den Lachs mit Ofenkartoffeln gegönnt. Super tasty 😋

The food was amazing, the service was very quick and very nice, the ambience is exceptional, the price/performance ratio is right and, when the weather is nice, it's also great for eating on the terrace. All in all, highly recommended...

Absolutely worth a visit. Food is super delicious. The service is super nice despite the full house. We'd love to come back. That was once!! CORRECTION: We were two adults and two children, 8 and 13 years old. The children chose the burger (beef) with fries. What arrived was sad. A roll with a small blob of mayo on one side and a blob of ketchup on the other side and the dry meat on top for €12. Every McDonald's does this better. The children were very disappointed. The dessert took it out. That was good. My wife and I had the same as always. I had the Terryaki beef burger with Henssler style fries. The meat was also completely dusty and generally tasted different than usual. The same with my wife. The Classic salad we ordered was good as always. We've been there 5 times in the last 4 years and yesterday was the last time. For a total of €123 you can ask for more than dry meat and carelessly prepared children's plates. What a shame!! PS: The operation was very reliable and responded directly when you wanted something.

Sehr netter und zuvorkommender Service! Das Essen war sehr gut! 100% Weiterempfehlung!

Wir waren zwei Erwachsene und zwei Kinder, 8 und 13 Jahre . Die Kinder haben sich für den Burger (Beef) mit Pommes entschieden. Was da ankam, war traurig. Ein Brötchen, auf der einen Seite einen kleinen Klecks Majo und auf der anderen Seite nen Klecks Ketchup und darauf das trockene Fleisch und das für 12€. Das macht jeder McDonalds besser. Die Kinder waren sehr enttäuscht. Raus gerissen hat es der Nachtisch. Der war gut. Meine Frau und ich hatten das gleiche wie immer. Ich den Terryaki Beef Burger mit Pommes Henssler Style. Das Fleisch war auch komplett staubig und generell hat es anders geschmeckt wie normalerweise. Bei meiner Frau das gleiche. Der bestellte Salat Classic, war gut wie immer. Wir waren jetzt in den letzten ca. 4 Jahren 5 mal da und gestern war es auch das letzte Mal. Für insgesamt 123€ kann man mehr verlangen als trockenes Fleisch und lieblos angerichtete Kinderteller. Schade!! PS. Der Service war super und zuvorkommend.

If I could, I would give it 6 stars, really nice service and for me the best fries ever with a great view

Sensationally good food. Crispy Chicken and the Schnitzel have taken the word crispy to a new level. The fries too... crispy, well seasoned and with the Henssler style they add a great taste. For me the chilies are a highlight in this context. Keep it up!

The food was delicious, the service was very friendly, with a view of the water

Very nice staff/boss. Prices are above average

Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Bedienungen waren sehr nett

First we enjoyed the autumn sun on the terrace with a view of the Elbe. We followed the recommendation of the friendly manager “Tom” and enjoyed an Oberbräu light on tap. Tom is an original who gave our restaurant visit a personal touch with his friendly manner. Thanks for that. We really enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. There was nothing to complain about. The crunchy chicken burger is recommended. Conclusion. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

The schnitzel wasn't fresh, I think some chip shops would have done a better job with it.

We ate in the restaurant with 6 people: dinner. The house is completely “lonely”, so you could actually use the absolutely generous window fronts to their full extent - almost all around. We had a table reserved and got a corner table facing the lake and therefore had 2 full-length windows at our disposal for our enjoyment. A complete large window facing the sea, so that we could see all the large ships gliding past & a large window completely aligned with the incredibly beautiful sunset, which we could also watch without any gaps. The fries were absolutely a hit, they were and are nowhere better!!! Very tasty food, with actually a certain “extra” taste! Reservation went well. Table was A1. The view was GREAT! The service was good. The food was tasty. One wish: The tuna/(sashimi), which is only available as a starter - in a very small portion - should also be available in a larger version as a main course!!!!! We can definitely recommend the restaurant, and we do so here too! And, the same applies to us in any case: “We would be happy to come back at any time”!

Very tasty food, short waiting times. Friendly staff. Parking spaces in front of the restaurant. Nice ambience

Tastes good. Good location. Fast, friendly and attentive service. Wonderful

First the positive: the view is beautiful. Unfortunately for me there are only negative things left: When we arrived there were 6 tables occupied and 1 waiter there. A few more guests came after us. The guests after us were partially served and already received their food and the waiter came to us after half an hour to take the order. When he made a comment about the waiting time, he became very angry and simply walked away. Judging by his reaction, the restaurant manager didn't really care about the situation and didn't try to change anything (but didn't help with service or anything like that). We then ate somewhere else. The restaurant was probably only half as full as usual on Sundays. But unfortunately the waiter had no overview of the guests and didn't seem to want to work. Too bad! We came because of the positive food reviews, but didn't get around to trying it... No recommendation due to the service!

We have already been to the H Henssler restaurants in Travemünde and Grömitz, so far we have been very satisfied! But now something is missing from the schnitzel, namely the cranberries! That's why the SchnitzeLAhoi-style seemed a bit dry to us! Our son didn't like the currywurst either! But that's a matter of taste

We were really looking forward to our visit to Ahoi, but unfortunately our expectations fell far short of what we had hoped for. We wouldn't have thought that the burgers 🍔 in a restaurant run by a very well-known chef from TV and media are far worse than the burgers at a well-known car tuner from Dortmund. The tomato 🍅 chili soup, on the other hand, tasted very good. The service was very friendly, but unfortunately people rarely asked if something else was needed to drink. What we also found very unpleasant was the quite high volume in the restaurant. All in all it was okay but nothing special.

If the staff has to ask more often, after the order has been taken, what the next course and main course should be, confirming it again and again with a thumbs up, if the clothes are dirty, then every business stands or falls. It's a shame about Henssler's reputation. PS: we were also in Cologne once and the staff there was similar. The food is probably good. Our two small 0.3 liters. Warsteiner €4.30 each... pretty steep price (you used to pay DM17.20 for two beers in a bar 🤭)

We ate there as a family (2 adults, 2 children) in the early evening. The ambience couldn't be better. Direct view of the water and the ships passing by. When the weather is good, there is great seating outside, which we took advantage of right away. The service seemed a bit stressed that day. Everything was dealt with in no time, no questions about what the food was like, whether everything was OK (as you're used to), nothing. Hence the points deduction. We adults had the teriyaki beef burger with Hensslers style fries. Highly recommended! The burger was nice and juicy and tender, nice sauce on it and otherwise perfectly seasoned. The fries are always a highlight. Now we unfortunately come to the shortcoming. The children both had the burger from the kids menu with fries. The burger consists of a bun and a meatball, that's it. The meat was very dry, as was the bun unfortunately. No lettuce on it, no cucumber, no tomato, sauce can hardly be seen even with the naked eye. (I think it only consisted of a small blob of mayo and ketchup). And that for the price of ~12 euros... Unfortunately I have to say that I have often eaten much better at a fast food restaurant... At the table next to us we heard exactly the same criticism about the children's burger, so there is a lot of room for improvement. Otherwise, we would visit the restaurant again at any time, but then without the kids burgers.

Delicious food and good service. The homemade lemonades were also great. The view of the Elbe is great, even if the window could use some cleaning. The toilets could also have been cleaner

Fish & Chips were good crispy fries, which were unfortunately a bit too salty, and slightly larger fish fingers ala Iglo. The children's burger was carelessly slapped onto the plate. So I went to Ahoi twice today, the first and the last time. The only thing that was very positive was the service and the waiting time.

Ein besonderes Erlebnis mit geschmacklichen Erlebnissen toller Service aufgeschlossen und lösungsorientiert ! Auch bei Stress steht gute Laune im Vordergrund Ahoi wir sagen glücklich danke ! 🙏🏻 Ps . Die Pfanne bekommt einen Ehrenplatz Grüße von Heike ehm . Catering Glücklich
