ALEX Saarbrücken in Saarbrücken

Unfortunately very unfriendly, ordered a table for 8 people over the phone, received confirmation, and then was turned away at the agreed time, in a very unfriendly manner and without apology!! I don't need something so unfriendly!! Just one star, since you have to give one!

Food was very tasty (baked potato with chicken). Unfortunately, our original waitress devoted herself entirely to a women's table opposite, and at some point even sat down there for a while (??). The colleague then served us perfectly. Nice atmosphere, I like going to Alex.

nice cafe , staff was very friendly and the deserts were so delicious

The breakfast buffet had everything you needed, it was replenished regularly, there was nothing to complain about.

Service was very nice, drinks were ok, only the passion fruit juice spritzer could have used more passion fruit juice. Good 4 stars so far. Now to the food: crispy schnitzel with onions on top and fried potatoes. Fried potatoes were not crispy but soft and fatty. The wrong type of potato was probably used here. The schnitzel was probably made in the deep fryer and not in the pan. The fried eggs were ok. However, for just under €20 I would have expected more quality. Unfortunately only 2 stars. The tarte flambée came 5 minutes later than the other dishes. It's not so bad now. But in terms of taste and appearance, it wasn't really that good either. My wife had a pasta dish that she wasn't thrilled with either. My daughter had a chicken burger, which she really liked. 5 stars here. But since I rate the entire experience here, it is only 2-3 stars in total. I was very annoyed because as a couple with 3 children we don't go out to eat that often due to the increased prices for restaurants. And then paid €113 and left unsatisfied. That won't happen to us there again. And another tip: the waitress wiped the tables, but wiped everything onto the floor instead of into a container. That's unprofessional.

Very bad service!!! I won't come back anymore

Qualität immer top, sehr lecker und Getränke fantastisch, service absolute Katastrophe! Man wartet 1h auf Getränke und 30 min auf Rechnung.

Alex Restaurant as you know it and appreciate it. Nice service and food very good and tasty 😋

Everything was excellent! The service was excellent, the staff extremely friendly and the food was delicious as always - the new menu offers wonderful options. Really very tasty! I can only recommend it.

We regularly go to Alex for brunch or just to eat. Today, however, had the worst experience. The steak was not medium rare but English fried. After a third of the steak was eaten, I noticed that it was quite bloody inside. The steak went back and the boss personally came to lecture us. “The steak was 80 percent eaten and then it became clear that it was too bloody or medium rare instead of medium (actually it was English fried). And before you eat the steak, you should cut it in half to see what the cooking point is here. I want my guests to be happy, so choose a drink or coffee and it will be on the house.” You should already know your portion size, as 80 percent of it was not consumed. I haven't made a big deal about it here. We then had the bill come and skipped dessert and other drinks. If you're a successful restaurant, you can probably miss out on this lost money. At the end, a bottle of water was deducted from the bill because there apparently were discrepancies with the kitchen. It's a shame, we always enjoyed coming, several times a month. But unfortunately not anymore. Appointments that were already reserved were canceled.

Simply special, 😄 in every way. The breakfast buffet, the selection of food and the ambience are fantastic. My favorite waitress Saba is not only beautiful but also particularly sweet. An absolute must for everyone 💕

Das Frühstücksbuffet ließ keine Wünsche offen. Die Bedienung, in unserem Fall war es Kevin, war sehr freundlich nicht aufdringlich. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Wir waren nicht das letzte Mal dort.

The worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant! I complained about a burger that was missing 3 (!!!) ingredients compared to what was listed on the menu. What happened next is outrageous, downright outrageous. The shift management was rude and rude to me and I was denied the new burger that had already been promised (since the other one had already gone back and forth between the kitchen and our place three times). Just don't go there! We'll never do it again and I can only warn against it!

Great breakfast/brunch on a Saturday morning!!!

Food and drinks were great, the tables could be a little bigger

I sat outside there for almost 25 minutes today and wasn't served. Despite making eye contact with the operator, nothing happened. I then left with nothing accomplished. Of course I spoke to the waitress as I left to point this out to her. She said she was new and overwhelmed. Service is still different. I was very annoyed.

Excellent pancakes for the breakfast buffet. Very friendly and fast staff.

Everything was great. Nice service and good food.

I don't speak German unfortunately. Salad, starch (fries), meat, delicious ratatouille vegetables 😋 This meal includes everything a diabetic person needs (the 3 you need) 🙂 Very good meal.

Normally we are always very satisfied at "Alex", no matter which city! Always a guarantee for good food, friendly people and a great atmosphere. We are regular customers in our hometown!!! But what we experienced today was not only very disappointing for us, but simply unprofessional! First, ingredients are missing from the burger. Then you wait a long time for the waitress to notice this, who then seems quite annoyed. After the explanation came from the kitchen that the ingredients were out, the now cold burger was offered to be remade. We accepted this offer. Whereupon another waitress came and asked why the burger needed to be new if it was tasty. She was very rude and unfriendly. When we wanted to speak to the boss, she said she was shift manager and there was no new burger. With the words: "There is no new burger, you pay and never come back." That just doesn't work at all!!! Basically banned from the house because people are justified in criticizing them.

The tables are a bit too small at dinner.

As always, great service, delicious food, great and cozy atmosphere. Thank you, we'll see each other again (always).

Das Buffet war super lecker aber der Preis20,90 € zu hoch früher gab's den Kaffee zum brunch und ein Glas Sekt das muss man jetzt alles extra zahlen das kleine Wasser 3.80 € eine kleine Cola 4.30 finde ich doch hochgegriffen Toilette unsauber da müsste mal öfter jemand danach sehen hatteeinen tisch für 8 Personen extra vorbestellt an unserem Tisch sassen dann noch 4 Personen hab gefragt nach einem anderen tisch da war noch viel frei bekamm aber gesagt das geht nicht wäre reserviert aber dertisch nach dem ich gefragt habe war noch frei als wir 4 Std.später gegangen waren da müsste mann mal mehr Abstand lassen wollte nicht unbedingt mitbekommen was der angrenzende tisch redet war nicht so toll werde wollte eigentlich mit der firma Weihnachtsfeier buchen aber das muss ich mir nochmal gründlich überlegen

Nicht nur optisch sehr ansprechend angerichtet, sondern auch geschmacklich hervorragend war das Essen bei Alex. Und dazu noch zu überaus fairen Preisen. Mein größtes Lob für Küche und den freundlichen Service!

Good food at a fair price for Saarbrücken. You sit on the street and when there's a lot going on, it's very loud, but overall it's nice.

Were there for the first time and also the last time. The service was unprofessional, didn't know much about the wine and reacted unfriendly to questions. The “rump steak” was 1cm high, it was also the wrong meat. A disgrace for 28 euros. The burger was ok. We will never go there again.

Today I went to breakfast brunch with my daughter, unfortunately with great disappointment 😢 There was a board outside that said breakfast whatever your heart desires for €15.30 plus coffee. Since we have had breakfast at Alex several times before, we knew what brunch was about But today it was just disappointing - there were no cucumber slices, pepper strips, no plain yogurt, bacon, pancakes. There was really a lot missing that was always there. The buffet was simply not worth the price for the money. The staff was very friendly.

Deze brasserie gaat zich op vingers snijden. De porties zoals frietjes en schnitzel worden steeds kleiner en de prijzen gaan omhoog. We zijn bij Tante Maja in Saarbrücken gaan eten. Waar voor je geld. Roken op het terras is een verschrikking. Tweemaal gaan verzitten.

Pretty much the worst address for a cozy get-together. Boss quite dismissive. The assistants are ok and nice, but not paid (I found out after a personal conversation. They are all just probationary employees). I didn't get coffee with oat milk because as a vegan I was rather unwelcome. Just a feeling

Well I have to say that the prices here have become outrageous. Charging €4.70 for a handful of side fries is just a disgrace. For a handful of Caesar salad with 3 slices of bread €12.30!!! Just like the drinks, 0.3 Cola 4.70......no no, you're still thinking about going back here And you can save your comment. Other restaurants are also affected by the same things as you and are far cheaper when it comes to food and drinks.

Cool shop, nice staff. Unfortunately, the prices are becoming more and more expensive - sometimes a bit overpriced. Great fish and chips. Burgers are good too. Unfortunately there is no more chili cocoa.

Good place we have found passing by. Right in front of the theatre. It was Sunday with grate activity around.

Always nice, whether inside or outside, cozy, comfortable furniture, really nice young friendly people on staff who are also friendly towards each other. The best coffee without coffee that doesn't taste as good anywhere else in Saarland as it does here!

Good food and drink, friendly service, highly recommended!

The breakfast buffet offers a nice selection of dishes, I was positively impressed by the scrambled eggs, which obviously didn't come from a tetra pack. Whether sweet or savory, everyone should find something here. The staff is attentive but not intrusive. If you sit inside you feel comfortable, outside too, although there is a street nearby and the access to the Johanner Markt for delivery vehicles. Overall impression: positive

Dinner was delicious. Top service and nice, friendly staff.

I ate a salad that was delicious

The waitress is not allowed to serve tap water with espresso. I really feel sorry for the waitress, she was nice, but she doesn't belong there in the restaurant, you could really tell that she had to say that from the management. The management should provide and serve themselves.

Today we are at Alex's for the first time. We had a few extra complicated requests.. the waitress had to ask the boss… The boss was really sweet and nice.. He fulfilled all of our wishes. Thank you 🙏🏻 We'll definitely be back!

We were there on Friday afternoon and unfortunately we were very disappointed Staff is a disaster, they don't listen properly and then bring things that you didn't even order and then cheekily say that it was ordered that way and that's it The food is now also a disaster in terms of taste, but to ask for portions for the price is a joke We've been to Alex's several times in the past, but this will probably be our last visit. Unfortunately, we can't recommend it at all anymore If you look at the number of visitors on Friday evening, the place was empty and there are probably reasons for it

It has changed a lot, it has become expensive and the service is no longer up to par. I ordered a cocktail, a super sweet Pink Paloma; I had trouble drinking it without Rosmarin in it. The waiter arrives and I ask him, is there any more Rosmarin? He answers me if there are still any. He tells me he's going to get some and I haven't heard anything yet... the portion of fries is ridiculously small, you'd have to order 2 to get a decent portion. Always more expensive, always less...

We are French and frankly it is time for the Germans to make an effort, because in Saarbrücken at least 30% of customers are cross-border and they make no effort, plus it shows that they don't like us, they are unpleasant towards us, if I could have put 2 stars in the negative I would have done so, but we can't, so I didn't put any stars for the service. For the meal it wasn't crazy...at home everyone can do better.

Were there for the first time and probably for the last time. The chicken in the bowl wasn't cooked properly. Otherwise we ordered waffles and cake, both of which were far too sweet and hardly edible. Drinks were quite ok. Cleanliness was just ok. The only positive thing I would like to mention is the friendly staff.

I would like to highlight that the service was very friendly. However, the booking system is so inflexible and rigid that it was not possible, for example, to order pasta without sauce because, according to the service staff, the pasta is mixed with the tomato sauce in the morning... This is just an example, other little things couldn't be done either be changed or adjusted. Again, reference was made to what they said was a “backward crediting system”. The waiter said that there were a lot of customers who complained about this. I'll take that as an opportunity for a review! The evening was still nice, luckily the children were full even without pasta ;-)

I can only recommend the food was great and the staff was very nice

J'y suis déjà allée plusieurs fois, en couple ou avec des amis et goûté plusieurs plats différents. C'est toujours un plaisir d'y retourner, je ne suis jamais déçu par les plats. Ça peut arriver d'attendre un peu car le weekend il y a beaucoup de monde. Mais parce que ça fonctionne bien. Mon Highlight c'est le buffet petit déjeuner autant en semaine que le weekend un large choix de sucre et salé, il y a en a pour tout les goûts, le prix est très correct. Ce que je préfère c'est que tout est maintenu au chaud, j'ai horreur des pancakes froid, et la bas je peux manger des pancakes chauds avec sauce à la cerise chaude. Des œufs sont toute les formes, salade, pains, charcuterie, pudding, gâteau, fruits et j'en passe. Ne vous faites pas de préjugés parce que c'est une chaîne, allez y, c'est chouette

We went for Sunday brunch, tasty and rich

Wonderful restaurant with outdoor area. Direct proximity to the Saarland State Theater. Food great, service very good!

Chicken teriyaki is out, Caesar salad (dressing is out) baked potato is out, well, then the salad, sorry salad is out too. Unfortunately only 1/3 of the menu was available, it took forever for the food (what you could then order) to come to the table, the taste was not up to par! So we won't be coming back.

Breakfast buffet was “okay” but not anymore

Cozy, delicious food and nice service staff

Good food but it's a bit cramped in there

I'm giving one star because I can't give 0! I had reserved for 10 a.m. and we had called to say that we would arrive between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. but supposedly they did not have this information so they refused to take us with a completely empty restaurant! It is shameful ! TO AVOID IF YOU ARE FRENCH!

The buffet was very plentiful and tasty, gladly again 😊

Very tasty food and fine drinks, you can find pretty much everything your heart desires here. We were very satisfied and will happily come back. ❤️

Somehow we always end up here. It's such a good restaurant for different occasions and I'm surprised it's rating is not higher.

Everything is clean, top, and tastes perfect. ❤️

Their breakfasts are great with friendly and pleasant service.

Very good food right in the city near the theater. Very nice staff. Fast and cheap. Great selection, also vegan.

Great staff! Great drinks! Great food!

Friendly and pleasant. Welcome, service...well

Have been there several times. Unfortunately the service wasn't attentive last time. You constantly had to shout loudly or you had to accept the long wait.

The food is not that fresh and overpriced, a glass of Lillet not even half full for 7€ is terrible, the bad thing is, we got a table right next to the toilet, the smell was terrible when people went in and out and that while eating, I don't understand how you can put a table there! There were 6 of us and everyone said never again!

Favorite restaurant in the city of Saarbrücken. Affordable prices, very pleasant atmosphere and varied menu 👌🏻 I recommend the schnitzel with mushrooms, it’s love.

Good Scnichtzels – tasty and good portions. Staff was very friendly.

I've been coming to the brasserie to eat for years when I'm in Saarbrücken. Last time I was unfortunately very disappointed that the chicken breast fillet with the baked potato was “convenience food”. Absolutely inedible. I think it's a shame that you offer something like that. As always, the staff was very friendly, but unfortunately they couldn't cope with my dissatisfaction

Our food was very tasty, the service was super nice. The menu is very diverse, from currywurst to salads and baked potatoes to steak and Indian, everything is there. There is a large selection of desserts, including some unusual items such as ice cream bowls with orange pepper. There are also great homemade lemonades and iced teas, as well as delicious cocktails. We're always happy to come back!

Unique complete experience for a non-Saarbrücken resident.

We wait a long time to be served

They treat the workers very badly !!! Many people I know were used and treated the worst way ever by the bosses !! I would never go there and help such sick manipulative and toxic team get any profit that they don‘t deserve . Boycott ALEX ! They should learn basic human rights

Unfortunately the server was completely overloaded this morning. We waited 15 minutes for the order to be accepted, but after politely asking (since everything was going smoothly at the neighboring tables), things went quickly. When I ordered an espresso macchiato after dinner, a latte macchiato arrived after another 15 minutes, but I sent it back because we were pressed for time. But then the bar was on the invoice, and the cancellation took time again. No paper for hands in the women's toilet. However, the food was very good and the service was very friendly despite everything.

I really liked the Alex on Saarstrasse in Saarbrücken. Since it's next to the Saargentur, where I often go, I also go to Alex from time to time. Sometimes it's just a problem with parking spaces. 😉

Very nice cafe, very nice service, only the toilets could be improved. The ventilation doesn't seem to be well solved.

The taste was okay. Unfortunately, the burgers were almost cold, but unfortunately we didn't have a chance to complain because the service wasn't in the area for almost half an hour our table came. The plates were also left for a long time. At some point I ordered my drink myself at the counter. The service was really very bad.

Very nice. Whenever I'm in town, I'm there too

The food was marginal and the service seemed a bit disinterested. The restaurant may be “trendy”, but for us it is no longer an option.

Great menu for enjoying a meal or simply having a drink, in a really friendly and pleasant setting with lovely staff. 🥰

Great restaurant with fast and friendly service. Enjoy your meal.

Delicious breakfast buffet Good price/performance ratio

Very unfriendly staff!! ; After a waiter asked us to sit down at a table, which had not yet been cleared. We were then accused of simply sitting down!

OK, I should speak up. Well, the service seemed unkempt, the table was still dirty and sticky from the guests in front of us and the chairs were also full of crumbs. So with the prices and especially THE name we imagined something different.

Alex was actually our second choice because there was no space left in the restaurant we chose. And because we knew the Alex chain from our visit to Magdeburg last year, we also chose the Alex in Saarbrücken. We were welcomed and served by a very personable, friendly and eloquent young lady. If I asked, we could find out that she is still studying full-time. She did a great job. Some full-time workers could learn a lesson from this. Aaaand it was schnitzel (stack) day here. The Tuesday. Order one of the three schnitzel dishes on offer and pay only two € more for the second one. It was a pleasure.

Four of us went there for breakfast. The service is great, the buffet was ok.

We were eating with 5 people, the portion sizes could be adjusted compared to the price philosophy... the side salad at a price of €3.50 with the size of a "sauce bowl" (3 leaves of lettuce and a tomato) is for Such a well-known and established restaurant is really sad😢. Of course, the price policy regarding VAT at 19% is not easy to manage, but the portion should fit the price. We were there on a Saturday evening and of course there is a lot going on at that time but the seating is definitely too tight! Our very personable and very professional waitress (Ms. M.) really saved our evening and kept us entertained very well. We'll be happy to come back for them, for the rest.........🤷

Very nice staff can only be recommended. Always my pleasure.

Sorry, I'm a fan of good value for money. And in my opinion that is not the case here. For an OK burger over 13 euros without fries which then cost a lot extra. And this isn't about the tastiest food in the world. There was so much ice in my peach iced tea, it only tasted like water... but it was nice and cold... Well, leave it alone

Very tasty, I can only recommend it!😊

Breakfast buffet with a large selection, also for vegetarians. But relatively expensive.

Always my pleasure. Food and service top.

Nice ambience Price-performance is right. Nice and friendly service staff Very good location

Sympa et sans chichi . Attention c’est une brasserie à la française mais ils parlent en allemand ! Nous avons eu une carte en anglais . C’était bon (ratatouille , poisson , bœuf et desserts) . Petite adresse sympathique

This is 3 times that I have come to this establishment just to have a little something to eat and 3 times that I have been told that there is no place that everything is reserved even though most of the tables are empty 🤔🤔🤔 is- It’s my origins that pose a problem for this establishment????

Went there for breakfast, it was delicious and varied

Very simple and if you want to sit outside, right on the street. I only choose it if I can't get a place anywhere else.

Das Essen, Bedienung, alles Ok. Aber zum Mittagstisch 6€ für eine große Cola, das ist unverschämt und daher war das der letzte Besuch.

Essen war gut, leider waren die Getränke überteuert. 6,00€ für 0,5L Cola sind unserer Meinung nicht tragbar. Wir gehen oft mittags essen und haben so etwas noch nicht erlebt. Solange sich diese Preise nicht ändern war es leider unser letzter Besuch.

Tisch für 12.30 Uhr bestellt, Mittagessen gibt es aber erst ab 13 Uhr???

Nettes Lokal...kann man gut verweilen

Wir hatten nur was getrunken...Preise sind ziemlich angestiegen, aber das ist da überall

Sehr gut Umgebung für Abendessen
