Al Carbon - Ihr Steakhouse in Oberhausen in Oberhausen

Very good food... the goat cheese salad was amazing!!! Very friendly staff!!! :)

Very good food! Great quality! Very friendly service!

When we arrived for something to eat and drink, a nervous gentleman came to ask us if we wanted to eat and drink, to which I answered yes, then we were taken to a nice table by the water, so far everything went well, when we opened the menu and I went looking for the steak, I was shocked by the excessively high price, namely almost 40 euros for a 250 gram steak, where you would also have to pay another 3 euros for a sauce. So I and my group decided to just have a drink, so when our nervous waiter came to take our order and heard that we only wanted a drink, his nervous behavior turned into indignation, so then he told us that we could have 1 round and then we had to go, we agreed no because we really understand that the beautiful place would be better spent on people who order food and drinks, but now the trouble really starts, so we ordered 2 beers and a coke, which we waited quite a while. we had to wait (a bit strange since she wanted us to leave) then we all got half liters, we thought hey that's cheap since we saw on the menu that you had to pay 3.70 per beer and 3.90 for a coke, but this is the price for one normal beer/coke, these were 7.40 and more each so the bill was much higher than expected, they also asked 2 more questions in between if we didn't want to eat anything and we said "no only drinks" to which the response was quite irritated, we no longer felt wanted, but we had not ordered these half liters, we had ordered normal ones and therefore did not agree with this, so I went in with a receipt and told them that we had not ordered these, to which he responded nonchalantly and said yes, that is normal on the terrace that you had to order large ones, but that is not right at all. I saw several people sitting there with a normal glass of beer or cola, so I also indicated that and then the atmosphere changed and the gentleman became very aggressive and shouted things like "what what, what is the problem" and a super intimidating man also came by, I just paid to prevent further escalation, But people don't eat here overpriced and very aggressive employees!!!!

I have been to this very nice restaurant twice before and am always satisfied. Whether it's the food, the service or the ambience, we highly recommend it. 🤗👍👍👍

We would be taken very seriously with our wishes. Great boss!

The food is really delicious, I'll come back and order the same.

Food is generally delicious. But at such high prices, performance doesn't match. Service massive timing and coordination problems, vegetables were cold, wine was forgotten, Coke was the wrong size and no Zero, we swapped side dishes, no drinks arrived for half an hour, loud and chaotic atmosphere, guests looked at piles of dirty dishes in the hatch, neighboring tables were also not happy, the main course arrived before the starter

Excellent cuisine with super nice service! thanks to Tiffany

Ordered 1 special burger, 3 medium steaks, 1 was too burnt on one side (was too far over medium) with an unpleasant taste, 2 others were 50% medium and 50% not done at all. Burger meat felt like it had hardly any meat. The biggest disappointment was the steaks

If you are looking for an outstanding steakhouse experience, El Carbon in Oberhausen is the right place for you! From the first second you feel warmly welcome here. As soon as you enter the restaurant you are greeted with a friendly smile, and this first-class service continues throughout the entire evening. The staff is incredibly attentive, courteous and warm - you can immediately tell that they work here with passion and attention to detail. And then the food – simply a dream! The steaks are of outstanding quality, grilled to perfection and incredibly juicy. You can literally taste the high quality of the meat and the perfection of the preparation. Every bite is a delight! The side dishes and sauces are also first-class and round off the experience perfectly. What is particularly impressive is that the staff responds to individual requests - whether cooking level, special side dishes or recommendations, the focus here is really on the guest. The ambience is stylish, cozy and invites you to enjoy. The atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed, so you just feel good. Conclusion: El Carbon is not just a steakhouse, but a true oasis for meat lovers. Perfect food, first-class service and warm hospitality – enjoyment at the highest level is offered here. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great steak experience. 🔥 Clear 5 stars – I’ll definitely be back! 🔥

Great atmosphere, very attentive and friendly service. The restaurant was filled to capacity - but we were served quickly and easily throughout the evening. Unfortunately, my steak was almost cooked through instead of medium rare. Can't happen in a steakhouse. Feedback was gratefully accepted and an apology was given. So no deduction for me. Burgers and salmon were excellent. I can recommend the crème brûlée for dessert. Parking at the Centro (free).

The restaurant is elegant, clean and well stocked. The prices are relatively high. The service was very friendly and quick. There is an area outside where smoking is unfortunately permitted. Perhaps you could kindly point this out to guests despite the ashtrays on the tables. 👎 Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture. But when I order a veal schnitzel for €22, I expect it to be fried with love - and not something that might have just been thrown in the deep fryer. Otherwise everything was good! 👍

Super cozy atmosphere. The best meat in the area. The service staff also fulfills any special requests. Always worth a visit.

Very good food, great service. I would love to come back.

Overrated store with unfriendly waiter. The food was OK - but nothing more. The "premium" steak that the waiter talked us into was not "premium". We were basically forced to leave the table and settle the bill ourselves so that things would go faster. Mass processing is carried out here at the guests' expense. Overall, very hefty prices - after all, we are here in Oberhausen. We won't be coming back!

Cheese Burger was perfect. Big enough and so tasty

Went there with 3 girls for dinner on Carnival Sunday. Service was super nice and accommodating. Here again a big compliment to Tiffany. The food was super delicious and we will be back.

The food and service was great, we'll be back :)

Booked a reservation online, got a table at the counter, Plates, cutlery and used leftover food (e.g. rolls, cookies) fell to the floor. Commands for the order were shouted very loudly. Food was just so-so. No small appetizer, no decoration (lettuce leaf with tomato or anything else). Just meat on the plate, fries in a small bowl, herb butter just in a bowl, no cruet on the table. All in all, just enough.

According to the reviews, I was looking forward to a great roast beef and was unfortunately disappointed: it was a little more than medium rare and unfortunately a bit firm to the bite. I expected a little more for the price. Otherwise it was quite tasty. We are not regular customers of the restaurant and so I didn't think it was appropriate to be called by them. Too bad...

Best burger I've eaten so far. Great service, 10/10

Good luck, From the reservation to the dessert, everything went great. The restaurant is modern, clean and comfortably furnished. The service was very nice, quick and attentive. Really great. We went to Al Carbon for the first time today and have to say the food and the steaks were really great and tasted really good. Prices are somewhat higher. But as we all know, quality has its price. We will definitely come back. Top 👍👍👍👍

Despite a huge rush and a full shop, we had very nice service. The food came quickly and was very tasty. We recommend the ox cheeks and the burger. Definitely coming back.

There are many good restaurants in the Centro, but this restaurant is an absolute highlight for any foodie. I have been here many times, always received a warm welcome and always felt very well looked after. If I could give more stars, I would. Absolute recommendation.

"Great restaurant! The food was very tasty and the waitress Tiffany was particularly friendly and attentive. An all-round successful visit - would be happy again!"

Nice atmosphere, very tasty food and extremely friendly service. Dear Tiffany sweetened our evening and ensured complete satisfaction. Thank you! Always my pleasure :)

I was there for dinner today, the service was A1, the waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was fresh, tasty and really good value for money! I can only recommend it to anyone who wants to eat a good steak in Oberhausen!!

Everything fine . Delicious food and good, friendly service.

super friendly service, but poor technical cooking: US beef very good quality, medium, but was served lukewarm, a request to the kitchen came back with the answer, but then the degree of doneness was gone - very unprofessional. Caesar salad was still floating in the washing water, not shaken dry and the dressing (actually only tasted of anchovy and mayo) was then just poured over it. The chicken pieces provided (photo) were carelessly placed on top and had a curry taste. Sorry, when I go out to eat for just under €80, I expect a little more effort in preparing the food

Food was very good. Service initially too. After the main course we asked for the desert menu. After we received it, it took a long time before anyone came to our table again. When a waitress came she put the bill down. I said I wanted to order another desert. With a deep sigh and an angry look she took the order. The desert was put down (again with an angry look). Nothing more was said. When it was finished, the bill was immediately put down again. We were not asked if we enjoyed it. We will probably come back again, because the food is good, but the service and friendliness could be improved a bit.

A really good restaurant/steakhouse! The staff is very friendly and the quality of the food is of the finest quality. There is a large menu with a lot to choose from, only the vegan options are a bit poor, hence not the full 5 stars. A very clear recommendation!

Very nice and well-kept restaurant. The menu is great and there is something for everyone! The atmosphere is relaxed and it's nice to sit together. Unfortunately, the service staff were rarely there and a little inattentive, but still friendly!

Unfortunately my experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. The food tasted bad and didn't meet our expectations in any way. What struck me as particularly negative was that no steak cutlery was provided, even though we asked for it several times. Only after a long wait did an employee come who pointed out that it was difficult to cut steak without cutlery and promised to bring us new cutlery. Our table was also missing salt and pepper, forcing us to ask for it again. The staff was a mixed bag: two employees were very nice and helpful, but the other two had a rather negative impact on the service. Overall it was an unsatisfactory experience that I cannot recommend.

Everything great!!! See you next time.

Except for a waiter with a pigtail who was busy outside, the entire service staff stood behind the counter and chatted. We would have liked to have another dessert but were only noticed when my husband went to pay. We've been to you a few times and it's always been very good, but yesterday after we got the main course the service became less and less...we won't be able to get any further for now because there are still shops with motivated service staff...

Business lunch at lunchtime, three people. Nice atmosphere, good service, good food from the lunch menu where the price-performance ratio is right. Gladly again.

Good steakhouse, very friendly service. Good portions and tasty.

The food was very tasty and especially the service was very nice and accommodating. I will definitely go there again

Always my pleasure. As my husband says: the meat is fun. We always feel welcome and it's like escaping everyday life for two hours. Eat . Ambience and service top. The next Vodka Caramello is on us. Keep it up

Very disappointed with the store. We actually found it quite tasty. Ordered a table for 10 people before Christmas. 3 were sick. I gave notice an hour in advance. Thought you were nice. As a thank you, we were placed in the passage with a draft. Afterwards we received the obligatory email telling us how much we liked it. I wrote down my criticism objectively. Then I received a very nice email saying that our entire group was being invited to eliminate the faux pas pas. After making an appointment, I wanted to reserve a table. From the sender of the invitation. However, he hasn't responded since then. Maybe you didn't expect the guests to accept the offer. Therefore it seems very dubious. It’s also a shame for Recklinghausen. We will refrain from leaving our money in the store in the future. Both here and there.

Went there at lunchtime during the week and it was a little cheaper. The food was very tasty. Were served by the boss, who was very humorous, it was very funny and entertaining. The toilets are also very well maintained. All in all, highly recommended 👍

We had a really nice and, above all, delicious evening. Many thanks to the team!!!

Burger was good - even if the dry aged taste didn't come across. Relatively expensive for that.

Unfortunately we were 3/4 hour late due to traffic. We were still given a very warm welcome and we still got a table. Food was super delicious! And especially the service was great! Very warm, friendly, even though the store was packed!!! We'll be back!

AL Carbon is a very good place to go for delicious food, and the service is always nice, helpful and friendly.

I booked a table online. That went smoothly. We also got a nice round table, at the edge of the restaurant. The steakhouse later became packed. So we were happy that the basic volume in our little corner wasn't that high. So you could still have a good time. The food was fantastically prepared and almost everything was perfect, except for two shrimps that refused to be peeled. But these were immediately replaced by the attentive waiter. In terms of taste, the food and drinks were very good. Unfortunately, four drinks from the neighboring table also appeared on the bill. But this problem was also solved immediately when we brought it to our attention. We will be happy to come back.

★★★★★ A culinary highlight! We had a fantastic evening at AL Carbon! The service was exceptional - attentive, warm and professional. Even the starters were a delight: the super delicious baguette with homemade garlic sauce and the marinated anchovy fillet - simply heavenly! The highlight of the evening were the main courses: the fillet steak and the beef medallions were cooked to perfection, incredibly tender and full of flavor. The quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail are really noticeable here. An all-round perfect experience – we will definitely be back!

The meat was good Quality, but the extra’s were served cold. The time between first course and second was too short… which explains why the gratin and the pepersaus was cold. They seemed do want us dined very fast (similar to fast food restaurant) The service was poor, no sorry for the cold served food nor for the mistake they have made with the first course (serving wrong dish to one of our party, so he had to wait) … but they did ask if we wanted to pay the exact amount of we add a tip. The audacity 🙈 the atmosphere was a bit too loud for me… but that is an issue of taste. If you like loud music during your dinner, you would like the atmosphere’s.

We were here on vacation and on my birthday. I can highly recommend the restaurant. Adorable, child-friendly and super delicious food.

The food was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The staff was also courteous and friendly. We would be happy to come back.

It was a great evening Service very friendly and attentive Food top We will come again I can only recommend this restaurant

A very nice shop with super friendly employees who act very professionally. High quality and very good food is served.

Food was excellent, very nice atmosphere, and great service. The boss is also just super friendly 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻👍🏽

We recently visited Al Carbon and would like to share our experience. The restaurant was stylishly decorated and the open kitchen created a modern, appealing atmosphere. Unfortunately, there were some aspects that marred our visit. We ordered a steak fillet (medium-rare) and a chicken burger. The menu said that the chicken burger was served with "burger sauce", just like all other burgers are served with "burger sauce"... However, it was neither asked nor indicated what sauce it was. As we ate, we realized that it was a sweet and sour sauce - a choice that didn't suit the chicken burger for us. When we asked the waitress about it, she explained that the name on the menu was intentionally left open to give the chef creative freedom. There was no apology, only an offer to throw the dish away and serve something else. However, in our opinion it would be more important to inform the guest beforehand to avoid such misunderstandings. We see a major problem here, particularly with regard to allergens, as it is not clear which ingredients are actually used. During our stay, we also noticed that the cooks in the open kitchen occasionally ate fries from the serving plate. We found this questionable from a hygiene perspective as this should not happen in a professional restaurant. Unfortunately, the taste of the food didn't impress us, and the customer service also left a lot to be desired, as our concerns weren't really addressed. Despite the beautiful decor, our visit did not meet our expectations and we would not recommend the restaurant based on these experiences. Nevertheless, we would like to see an adjustment to the menu so that there would be less confusion for guests in the future.

Very tasty food, friendly service. Any time.

Nice ambience. As ordered online, we were assigned a quiet table in the back area. The food came super quickly, looked very good and was really tasty. :)))))) They could have made even more money with drinks... we were left high and dry for a while ;))

Great restaurant with great service and delicious food ☺️ We felt very comfortable! The ambience is really great! We'd love to come back!

Mega, the restaurant manager deserves a kiss 😉

Had dinner there today. The best meat we have ever eaten. Price performance 👍 TOP Only recommended. We had to personally praise the chef for such a great job! Top staff 🫶🏻👍

Great friendly service. Dining in a quiet manner. Relaxed atmosphere. Fast operation. Good food .

We were there for the first time today, although the wait was long but the food was great! My recommendation is the veal spare ribs are tender and soft. Very tasty, with 7 pieces of spare ribs, fries and BBQ sauce.

I've never eaten such a brilliant steak before, just speechless. The almost 600 kilometer journey was worth it. Keep it up

Significantly decreased. Can't recommend it more

Excellent food, excellent service. I can only recommend it.

Was Ok but the service is very slow. Do not wat veggie burger

The restaurant is very stylishly decorated and you feel very comfortable there. You are warmly welcomed and the service leaves nothing to be desired; Questions are answered and you get very good recommendations. The quality of the food is extremely good and the taste is absolutely convincing. A very clear recommendation to visit this location. If not it's the best restaurant on the promenade!

Super nice service and very friendly. Best citizens by far in all of Oberhausen, very high quality dry aged beef, fries also great and nice and crispy. I would recommend everyone to stop by at least once, maybe even 10 times 🤭 Thanks to the whole team 👌

Super tasty steaks and good service. We had a very nice evening and will definitely come back. Thank you👍

Friendly service and nice people

The appetizer platter for 2 people was really good. The burgers are quite good, but unfortunately no special requests are taken into account. The spare ribs were tasty but too expensive for my taste. You get the table for 2 hours, you only see that when you confirm. It was packed and therefore loud.

We were in the restaurant on January 19, 2025. Since we were sitting in the entrance area, we were always exposed to the draft and all 8 people were freezing. It was very unpleasant. That's why only 3 stars

We come here to eat every year in January and everything is always perfect. We particularly like the good and friendly service. Thank you and keep it up! Greetings Kölle

Very chic, delicious food and very nice service. Gladly again!

2. Visit to Carbon. First time in Re, today in ob. As a starter I had the aioli baguette and the herb salad with goat cheese. -The salad was great. With lots of cheese. I was able to save myself the baguette at that point. Then an English rib eye with leaf spinach and sweet potato fries. The last ones were standard. The spinach was super good, with garlic and not too mushy. The steak: wonderful. Nicely toasted, warm on the inside and still English. Top! That was fun. Praise also to the service :) Paid 140 euros for two - with tip. I think it's absolutely within reason. Thumbs up

Great atmosphere, unfortunately the seating is a bit tight for wheelchair users. Food was very good. The male waiter had time for us when he was comfortable with it. When he did come to our table, he was condescending and wasn't really interested in us.

Top service. The starter and the US steaks were very tasty. Price/performance is also very good for a restaurant on the Centro Promenade. I can only recommend this restaurant.

The food is so bad! Old fish, not through boiled potatoes and a steak that I had to chew for minutes. Everything at a bargain price of almost 100 euros.

Very friendly staff, delicious food and good portions. We spontaneously fancied a delicious steak and then decided on Al Carbon. That was definitely a good decision. I would love to do it again.

The food was top. Service was very friendly and accommodating. The ambience is very appealing. Was a great evening at Al Carbon.

"Better than McDonald's!", if you say something like that to your son, it MUST be VERY GOOD :) By chance, we chose Al Carbon today when we wanted to eat something in the CentrO with a group of 8 people. The welcome was warm and humorous, which immediately put us in a good mood. Ambiance: The steakhouse seems more upscale, but is cozy and inviting. Plenty of space is available indoors, but also in the well-designed, covered outdoor area and offers capacity even for larger groups! Very good! Service: wit, politeness and attentiveness in a perfect combination! Everything fits here and is really PERFECT with the highest praise! Food: Simply perfect! We had salmon, spare ribs, steak, chicken burger, cheeseburger and meat skewer from the lunch menu. Despite the reduced prices, there were very good portions, all very well prepared and simply delicious. I would like to give more stars than 5 because the entire group was extremely satisfied! Definitely our new favorite for the next visits to CentrO!!! THANKS!!!

Fast and very nice staff, very good food. But a little bit expensive.

A source of joy if you are looking for very good service and delicious food. It started at the door asking for a free table. We were greeted with a pleasant relaxed atmosphere and shown to a suitable table. The service was then handed over to the responsible employee, who immediately established a connection with our two whining children. Although he tried to make us some higher-priced offers, he reacted calmly when rejected. We feel very well looked after by the service. The food was very good and plentiful. Our evening was perfect thanks to the food and the service!

Food and service were great. There were four of us and we had great food across the menu, from steak to burgers and spare ribs to pasta.

Steaks were very good, as was the service.

Friendly, reliable service and very good food *****

Unfortunately we didn't like the food. After the starter (Oktupus) was outstanding, we were looking forward to the main course. We had 2 burgers for around €22 each. Unfortunately the combinations of sauces, ham and patty didn't work. Unfortunately the patty was absolutely not tasty. The waiter and staff were very accommodating and apologized several times for the food and a little something on the house. Tip: It's better to choose a steak than a burger. That's why I would even give it a second chance here.

Very tasty food. I had steak fillet with grilled vegetables and sweet potato fries. For non-meat eaters there were vegetables with potatoes, also very tasty. Very friendly and funny service, on the ball.

Good steaks, side dishes and drinks. There's nothing to complain about. Gladly again.

Very high quality meat and super friendly staff

Excellent food in a great atmosphere

Super super nice people, the food was very tasty, I can only recommend it

Great service, beautiful ambiance, delicious food.

Top dishes and top service The only thing that was annoying that evening was the volume

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, modern restaurant, good quality meat. Delicious food, definitely recommended! Also fast service

Very good, very friendly service, delicious food and nice atmosphere. A very nice evening, we will be back

Great food, very nice service every time. 👍

Super delicious food and super friendly staff. Really 5+ with all my heart. A tip for making reservations in the evenings is always full.

The food was super delicious. The service was super cool and funny. Always my pleasure

Very good service and friendly staff. The food is also highly recommended.

The food, service and ambience are first class! Highly recommended. We have already been here and will definitely come back!
