Block House in München

Excellent food and exceptional service! We visited The Block for the first time and were immediately impressed by the lovely ambiance. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding! It was beautifully seasoned, the menu was plentiful, and the food was beautifully presented.

Food was okay, service was a bit abrupt. We've seen better. But upselling works great.

Very tasty food! Excellent fast service. The only drawback is the dirty toilets with no paper for wiping hands, both in the women's and men's

Visited a Block House Restaurant for the first time today. Everything was really very good! The entire staff was very friendly, and the food was simply great! Recommended at any time! We will be happy to be your guests again soon!

Block House Munich – A perfect steak experience! I had the pleasure of visiting the Block House in Munich and can only say: an absolute must for all steak lovers! From start to finish, my visit was a completely successful experience. Ambience & atmosphere The restaurant has a very pleasant, cozy atmosphere. The furnishings are modern, but still rustic and invite you to feel good. Although it was well attended, you didn't feel cramped - everything seemed well organized and structured. service The service was first class! The staff was friendly, attentive and very competent. I was immediately warmly welcomed, my order was taken quickly, and I was regularly asked whether everything was to my satisfaction. That's exactly how it should be! Food & Quality Now to the most important point: the food. I ordered a T-bone steak and it was just perfect! Cooked to perfection, incredibly tender and full of flavor. You can tell that quality is really important here. The side dishes – the crispy Block House bread with delicious garlic butter, the fresh salad and the classic baked potatoes – were also simply outstanding. The drinks menu also leaves nothing to be desired. Whether a good glass of wine with your steak or a refreshing beer – everyone will find something to suit them here. Price-performance I think the prices are absolutely reasonable for the high quality of the food. You really get the best meat, excellent preparation and excellent service - you're happy to pay a little more. Conclusion My visit to the Block House Munich was perfect all around! Everything is just right here: great ambience, top service and, above all, great food. If you want to enjoy a first-class steak in Munich, this is the right place for you. I will definitely come back and can only recommend it to everyone!

Friendly welcome and seats without a reservation. Very tasty food, children were happy too.

After 23 years as a regular guest at the Blockhouse Munich, Leopoldstrasse, I have to express my opinion after about 150-180 visits. The fact that prices are rising is unfortunately a given, just like everywhere else - but the fact that quality is falling at the same time doesn't have to be the case. It is even advertised that Blockhouse is lowering the prices, but the fact that the portions have become smaller and unfortunately the quality has suffered massively was not stated in the advertising. Today I had the American Tenderloin - like I've always ordered for years; But now it has reached a level where I can no longer justify paying around €40 for such quality. The outside of the meat was unpleasantly burnt, tough, and of poor quality. The baked potato wasn't cooked through and the Blockhouse bread was burnt all around. When I asked the Asian waiter whether it was tasty, he replied: “I've eaten better here before than this time. And unfortunately I'm not satisfied," I was smiled at with a nod and he disappeared without understanding a single syllable... I certainly don't want to tell you what to do in service, but at least make sure that people understand the guests somewhat. Overall, within 20 years, a great steakhouse has turned into a place that I can no longer eat there or want to eat there. It's a shame. The second star is only there because the people are polite and friendly, but what good is a smile if I can't stop laughing while eating?

Unfortunately I have to agree with the previous review, there are burgers on the menu and what you get is a bad tasting burger patty with a piece of baguette and a baked potato. This has absolutely nothing to do with burgers and the name on the menu is definitely misleading. When I asked the service staff, they simply said that they would inform tourists. Definitely the first and last visit to the Block House.

My buddy: sirloin steak (160g) with fries Me: Rib-eye steak (400g) - There was a bill under my steak, some of which I ate because I didn't notice it at first (it was probably a greeting from the kitchen) - My friend's cooking level wasn't right and his fries were cold - There was a strong smell of urine in the toilet. Dust was deposited on the taps (I have no idea how you do that in a busy restaurant, but that's how it was). Had the charm of a train station SchXXX house - My rib eye steak was ok; but it used to be better. Meat was good. Salad was fresh and extremely tasty, but the bread turned out really bad I would have laughed at the slip-up with the bill if everything else had worked out. Unfortunately, it only added to my poor overall picture. The waitress was visibly uncomfortable and we got a steak pepper to make up for it. I used to really like the Blockhouse and it was my steakhouse of choice. However, it has decreased significantly, which can also be seen from the reviews of other guests. Overall, it now reminds me of a fast food restaurant. The prices are ok, but the quality and hygiene are so-so...

If you like steak, I can only recommend the Blockhaus. Always delicious!!!

The burgers are not burgers. Absolute misinformation on the map...

We first found this brand restaurant in Palma de Mallorca and ate the best rump steak ever... Then we happened to see in Munich that they also have two of them. Only to recommend. Food is delicious. Great staff! Service and atmosphere first class. Always my pleasure.

Delicious food. Fantastic service!

Top! We really enjoy going there. Eating is super quick. You can't make a reservation on weekends, but it's not a problem, the waiting time is less than 10 minutes.

Many might think Block House is just another steakhouse chain, but in my opinion, it’s one of the best—you always get exactly what you came for. The meat selection is great, and the menu is satisfying and filling. One of the best parts is how family-friendly the place is—if you go with kids, they get something to color on during the meal and even a small present at the end of lunch, which is a nice touch. The staff is always very forthcoming and friendly, making the experience even better. I would always choose to visit this particular branch on Leopoldstraße—highly recommended!

I had a Blockhous Burger and my son a Tenderline Steak. In both cases the baked potato wasn't even lukewarm. For the price I'm used to something different in Hamburg. We were sitting near the counter and it smelled like toilet stone!😳 I told the service, there was no response. Guess he wasn't interested!

Food delicious as expected. Very nice service. However, I have to say that the toilets were really very dirty and unkempt.

I had the hamburger and it's amazing. Don't expect an american burger, they server the burger meat with only one slice of bread (good quality bread) and as side I took delicious grilled vegetables. If you are a meat lover, fully recommended 🍔.

Delicious meat, nice place, nice crowd and staff

Dear Block House team, for many years we have been celebrating more than just our birthdays at the Block House. The food is fantastic and the service cannot be surpassed in terms of friendliness and competence :-) High praise. Unfortunately I was very disappointed yesterday. We had ordered 2* the 2 turkey steaks and 2 about 5 sqcm! got large pieces of meat (you almost overlooked it :-)) with a medium potato and a piece of bread for € 16.--? The portions were otherwise much larger. My mother's meat was almost raw and fibrous (you should have complained about this). Over the years we have always received a small gift on our birthdays, be it a glass of Prosecco or a dessert. The waitress acknowledged that it was my birthday. The other two birthday children in the room also reacted negatively to this. Are these now savings options? It's a shame...but again, big praise for the service.

Great, it's just a shame that there are no long drinks or cocktails

The service was very good. The meat was tough, the plates were very bland and not recommended for this price. Unfortunately not a shop that stands out from the crowd.

All in all - 9/10 points It only took an hour - from being placed to paying. It was, as you would expect at prime time, very busy. The service was incredibly fast and professionally friendly. The food also tasted great, but in my opinion it was a bit too expensive. I ordered medium, but it was more in the English direction -> the only criticism of the food. The number of guests combined with the fast service made it feel a bit like an assembly line. Still highly recommended!

We went without an appointment. You need to make an appointment one day in advance. They do not give same day appointments. We waited for about 30 minutes Steaks are great. Mr. Steak is the most ideal and satisfying. I recommend medium cooked. It is also delicious when cooked well. They do not dry. If you eat in Turkey in the same environment and quality, you will pay more. Apple pies come hot and freshly baked. Extra for lovers I recommend the garlic bread dip. Steak comes with baked potatoes and salad on a large plate. Drinks and dessert are around €40 per person.

Have never been disappointed there, friendly, fast service, steaks on point, side dishes great. Price-performance ratio is completely fine.

Unfortunately, I have the impression that the quality has decreased significantly. The meat was ordered medium and completely well done, and also not tender - in some places it was actually rather tough, in others it was okay. The service was sometimes more, sometimes less friendly. Unfortunately, this has become the norm in recent years. Price performance is simply no longer right. Allergy sufferers should be careful, as service or kitchen staff often forget to accommodate guests' special needs.

Best steaks. Great service. Were served nicely

Great value for money and delicious

Business lunch at a reasonable price. The steak was in good condition.

I dine at the restaurant for over a decade (ca. once a month). Given the time and experience with the restaurant, I can refer to my visit, today, as a disaster. As a welcome, be prepared to get judged and treated by your looks alone, and if thought to be a tourist await cheap and primitive "oriental bazaar"-like extortion attempts along the lines of "this is included in the price" (when it never was, and is not), rather off putting practice. I was served by an inexperienced, somewhat arrogant young waiter, shouting his responses / information to me, putting table items onto my hands / pushing my hands off the table, with absolutely no capability to understand and communicate in English: - Unable to answer a question "what's your biggest steak?" - When ordered a steak without potatoe or bread (as sides), got both served with the meat and was met by their "expressed surprise attitude" when reminded them my actual order. - Ordered green tea, got served an herbal infusion instead. When requested a green tea again, got "only one" as an answer and information about their tea selection. After a while, it turned out they also have a black tea. - Their knives (steak knives) are completely blunt. You can run them against your skin without any risk of a single scratch (did that). Good luck trying to focus on a conversation instead of the struggle to cut the meat. - When asked for a sharper knife, got "only one" as an answer. Their terrible service was, to certain extent, remmedied by a decent quality steak.

I've been coming to this restaurant for ages. The quality is always at a consistently high level. There's no place I'd rather eat steak than there.

My tenderloin was delicious again.

Food was very tasty and staff was very friendly!

Everything was great, great desserts. The waffle and the chocolate lava cake are great. T-bone steak is highly recommended… we will be back

Our server was terrible. Did not check on us, did not respond to getting salad bar or drinks. Was flirting non stop with bartender. There was nobody in the restaurant on 1/8/25. Maybe he should consider another professional than hipster doofus waiter with no skills.

Their red meat is really good. I asked for it well cooked and it was cooked really well. It was also very good with a French style salad. I preferred local beers. The portions are large and filling, and you can find these restaurants in every city in Germany.

The food was pretty standard and reminded me of America! I did not care for the salad. The waiter was hard to flag down for the check, but the service was great. The environment was nice and quiet. I didn't know it was a tourist trap, but I did like it.

Delicious steak in the usual good Blockhouse style. Waiters also very friendly. I was here on Friday evening and it was very crowded, so it's worth making a reservation in advance!

The meat hadnice smoky flavour but what was disappointing was the burger was not actually a burger but beef over bread. Service took long and when I picked up the bill, what I disliked was the waitress called out the value of the bill (I was treating guests and I thought this was rude and also not common practice).

We called at lunchtime to make a reservation for two people and were told to just come along and no reservation was necessary. In the evening we stood in front of the door and waited for more than 30 minutes. The conditions at the table were great. Food comes quickly, but you can notice/taste the mass processing. Steaks were medium as ordered and tasted ok.

The garlic bread is the star. And their ketchup tastes particularly good.

The food was great, but the atmosphere was unfortunately somewhat like a fast food restaurant. Otherwise everything is fine!

Very bad service of the waitress. Impolite attitude with 100% discrimination for the non German. Please be patient and do more understanding for some customers that may not really familiar with your country language.

Today we tried Blockhouse again after a long time. The steaks (rib eye and Irish prime) were good, but the wine and especially the dessert were very disappointing. When it came to the waffle, they said it was always like that and would come back the same way if I let it go back. I didn't eat them (but had to pay for them!). However, the service was really nice and we felt very welcome.

Fantastic steak, great atmosphere and lovely staff.

The problem is that a steak restaurant doesn't know the doneness of the steak!!!!!!!!!! I felt like this was a very bad experience. I arrived with great expectations. The steaks are very meaty. My friend originally ordered the Medrum rare steak, and it was indeed Medrum good. The waiter insisted that it was a rare medrum, much older than the other medrums. I can't imagine I planned this dinner a month in advance. I am very disappointed. Firstly, the waiter has serious service problems and, like the guests, is very impatient.

Stack with open potatoes, delicious 😋, good service. Gladly again 😊

Salmon and spinach in frozen quality, with a dollop of mushy potato gratin and sauce. Reminds me of hospital food. It's a shame about the 25€, but it's your own fault - maybe you shouldn't order a fish dish in a steak restaurant.

Good meal at a fair price, but cooking of the meat was not respected unfortunately.

We were offered another drink today when we arrived After we wanted to order dessert we were told that we had to leave now. You are not allowed to sit for longer than 2 hours because the table is needed. We were not informed of this beforehand. Never been like that before. Possibly new policy of the house.

Super friendly service, rarely experienced something so nice Food was also good and plentiful

My family had a bad experience yesterday at this restaurant. We made a table reservation and by the time we got there, a male staff in the reception spoke to us rudely that our reservation was being cancelled . But a lady came later and attended to us calmly . To end with the food was very spectacular

I don't know of a better steakhouse, Christmas party for 11 people, everyone left full and happy!!!

One of the best steakhouses in the city, the menu is sufficient and the food quality is extremely good.

Never, ever a 4.4. Very bad wines, the meat was just tough, the fish was overcooked, the spinach from the microwave? You get what you pay for. It's better to spend twice as much and experience a hundred times the enjoyment, or stay at home.

Nice location it reminds me of an English pub. Otherwise, both our dishes were overcooked. Wine is of a very poor quality, probably bought with 3€ bottle from. LIDL. It doesn't justify 8 Euro per glass.

Finest steak and very friendly staff. Gladly again

Typical Block House restaurant with proven quality. You can't say no to a delicious steak with a block house salad for lunch.

I've been going to this steak restaurant for twenty-five years. The steak meat is of the same high quality. The price/performance ratio is right. The service is courteous. The ambience contains American components. I like this very much. Keep it up!

Unfortunately, my impression of this restaurant has been clouded recently. The friendliness and communication skills of the employees now leave a lot to be desired. The conversations seem mechanical and rehearsed, without any personal touch or empathy. A visit to a restaurant should not only impress with good food, but also with warm service. But here there is a lack of attention and the feeling of being welcomed as a guest. It's a shame, because this has a significant impact on the overall impression. I hope that more emphasis is placed on hospitality here again, as the restaurant has the potential to leave a much better impression.

The restaurant serves very delicious steak, the meat is tender but still retains its sweetness. Salad is also very delicious and fresh, very delicious. The restaurant space is also very beautiful and cozy. I've been here in both winter and summer. If you come in summer, you can choose to sit outside in the courtyard, which is very cool. The service staff is also very enthusiastic and friendly. Very impressed with the restaurant's pink checkered napkins, both classic and still very elegant and Bavarian.

I come here to eat with a friend about every 2 months. It is always very good, especially the cooking level is always perfect. The waitresses are always very friendly, efficient, there when you need them, but not intrusive. We have never been disappointed and always enjoy coming back. The only thing that's really annoying is the loud music when it's a guest's birthday! It really doesn't have to be the case that our conversations are interrupted 2, 3 or most recently 4 times in the evening just because a completely unknown person has a birthday somewhere in the other corner! You could really get rid of this childish custom, or at least massively reduce the volume of it.

We had our two classics again Hereford ribeye and the filet mignon both perfectly cooked the way we wanted Salad at the front is always fresh and crunchy And the baked potato with the house sour cream is always good too! Quality is always top and has been a clear recommendation for years!

Well organized, so you can be assigned a table without an appointment and without long waiting times.

very, very pleasant atmosphere, gladly again

The food was very good and we were full. Since there was no 1/2 liter wine, we took 0.75 liter bottle. I couldn't drink all of it. Service was attentive and friendly. However, the lady didn't come when we paid. She had already finished work, which we didn't know. We wouldn't be told that. We paid with a colleague.

Natali very dear 😘 will be back

Good food, nice ambience and friendly staff. Price-performance is okay.

Super fair prices for a really excellent steak including baked potato and bread. Other side dishes were really good too! The service could be a little better (parts of the order were forgotten).

Thanks for the great birthday meal!

The usual Block House experience. Very tasty and very good service.

Good steak but poor service. Waited 20 minutes for a bill after all the food was taken away and our drinks were empty.

Very good food with a welcoming atmosphere and great service! Clear recommendation 👌🏼

The food is delicious, the kitchen knows how to make it. The service could be a little more attentive.

After being greeted at the table with pieces of paper that explained the management's crude political views, I unfortunately didn't go straight away and instead ordered a burger. To summarize: When I order a burger, I don't just expect to find a sad burger patty on my plate. My wife's steak, although ordered medium, was rare. And the prices aren't exactly low for what you get. The service was ok, but the staff wasn't really friendly. All in all, definitely not a recommendation from me.

Good food, very good service. Ambience is ok. Conclusion price/performance is absolutely ok. Gladly again. Were able to sit outside when the weather was good.

Our favorite place to go when we want to eat steak. Compared to other steakhouses, the price-performance ratio is very good.

We tried steak which were great, but desserts might be better.

Very tasty and at a fair price. A great shop.

We ate here on Sunday at around 2 p.m. in a group of three before we headed home. The greeting was ok and the order was taken quickly. From then on it went downhill. When it came to the salad, the wish not to use arugula was ignored. Of the 3 dishes, 2 were at best ok and the third was small but otherwise okay. The burger consisted of a burnt (and no, not smoky) tasting piece of meat gratinated with slightly burnt cheese on a rubbery piece of baguette. I understand different things by burger and I'm used to better things from Blockhouse. When the waiter asked if everything was okay, we could only respond with “well, that’s okay.” This was simply acknowledged with a puzzled look and without question. Since the service and food were not convincing, there was no tip (this had to be entered on the card terminal without the bill being shown). Afterwards the waiter was in such a bad mood that he threw down the receipt and walked away without a word. Absolutely inadequate, if we had had time we would have discussed it with the manager. NOT RECOMMEND THIS STORE!

Very good value for money. With every stake you get Salad 🥗 , baked potato and garlic bread for free. And the meat at very good quality.

Perfect food, service still needs improvement...

Good steaks, very nice staff, upper price range

From the reservation to the "goodbye!" everything is great! Unfortunately, the prices and portion sizes are a bit different now, but this is already discussed and explained on a flyer on every table - so it fits!

Very good food, reasonable prices for Leopoldstrasse. Friendly welcome, which is not always the case in the area. Service was relatively professional and quick enough despite a visit on Saturday evening. Not overly original, but a very good choice for a nice evening with good food

Food absolutely not a highlight. Meat was dry and not nicely prepared.

Food was disgusting, had no appetite and wasn't asked if everything was ok. Service was extremely unfriendly, never again would best give no star

Every time I go to Germany, I always find a Block House

I dined at Block House with two friends on 26th September 2024 after a day of sightseeing, expecting a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, the service was shockingly poor from the moment we walked in. The waiter merely waved us to a table without a word, setting a lacklustre tone. Our waitress appeared annoyed when she realised we spoke English, rudely snatching our menus and replacing them with English versions. She immediately pressed us for drink orders, even though we hadn’t had a chance to look at the menu, and her impatience was palpable. Things took a turn for the worse when one of my friends asked about the salad. Instead of providing a straightforward answer, the waitress dismissively told him that it was her responsibility to prepare the food, which was completely uncalled for. Despite this rude service, we decided to stay and hope for a better experience. Sadly, the food was also disappointing. My ribeye steak was served raw inside, even though I had ordered it medium rare, the marbling was scarce and the cut was full of tendons. The salad was decent, but it felt overshadowed by the unpleasantness of the service. Dessert offered a glimmer of hope with a delicious apfelstrudel, but even that was tainted. My Bailey's Irish Cream came with unwanted ice cubes, diluting the drink without my request. By this point, we just wanted to pay and leave. When the waitress asked if we wanted the bill split, her eye-rolling response to our request for separate bills only confirmed how unwelcome we felt. Overall, the service at Block House was reminiscent of Fawlty Towers. I left feeling like we were unwanted guests. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience—there are far better options in Munich.

We had extremely bad experiences in the blockhouse at the main train station. The meat smelled like our cat's bad breath. So the Blockhaus restaurant died for us. When we felt like having steak one day, I told my husband that we would give the restaurant on Leopoldstrasse a second chance. Starting with a unique service from Natajia Haimerl, the negative experiences slowly began to disappear until the main course came and the meat, when there were really no negative experiences at all. We're extremely fans of Block House again. We also have this one waitress to thank for that. Such waitresses are far too rare. If I had a restaurant, I would recruit this woman immediately. Best regards Mariana & Altay

During my last visit in July I probably would have given a better rating. Today the steak had a slightly burnt taste. Decoration on the plates is overrated, but we know that from chains like this. The service was subpar. Even though the restaurant wasn't even half full at lunchtime, I had to ask for the menu twice. Likewise, it was a challenge to get the bill. Das preferred chatting with several people at the drinks buffet. Yes, such annoying guests can ruin your working day... For me: I'll definitely be in a block house again on a business trip if I don't know my way around. In cities I know, I prefer to eat higher quality food for not significantly more money.

Dear Block House team. I found the filet mignon to be average at best. BUT: A few days ago you commented positively on a review by Luis Jovanovic. I wonder what was eaten there? What do I have to order to get the same thing as in the photo posted? Looks delicious. I'm looking forward to an answer.

The Blockhouse here in downtown Munich is really fantastic! I would like to once again specifically highlight the employees who make the experience even better, super super friendly, and like the last few times, “YAN” served. It's noticeably emptier than other places and it's very clean and tidy. As always, the food was the same and the meat was simply great. We always take the tenderloin, potato gratin and coleslaw as a starter, the carpaccio and the carpaccio also has a pesto on top with fresh herbs and radishes, which really highlights the whole thing, something we hadn't had in other Blockhouses. With 2 specials 129.00 euros, what more could you want? You'll be more than full for a dessert, it wasn't enough anymore 😅 we rolled out. Absolutely recommended. There was only a children's birthday party in the steakhouse that day, it was relatively empty, maybe 10 guests and the family probably knew the manager(?). There were few guests there, but for many it was a lot of money and the guests simply felt loudly confiscated Half the shop and there was loud music for a while, we just found it a bit inappropriate compared to others who want to eat their food in peace, even if they know each other, others spend a lot of money and want to enjoy the moment in peace for themselves. We just wished we had been a little more considerate of other tables, we were just a bit unlucky but nonetheless we would continue to visit the shop.

Good location, nice outdoor area, super nice service staff, great food 👍

You wait 5 minutes in front of the door, even though there are 6 free tables outside. Under no circumstances order hamburgers or cheeseburgers. The kitchen has no idea about it. Service is slow and frustrating, drinks are often forgotten. Side dishes are too few or too expensive. Hardly any parking spaces.

Excellent for those who love quality meat

Amazing steaks! It worth a visit if you are in Munich.

Pros: The waitress was nice even after our complaint about the food. If you only order the main courses from the steak menu, you will get very tasty meat. Negative: The side dish of potato gratin is a joke in terms of quantity. 1 1/2 tbsp for 5€ is “pretty” little. A steak with mushrooms was stringy. In one dish the spaetzle was cold, little and partly already dried out. In my opinion, the dip for the potatoes tasted purely of glutamate and was anything but a tasty fresh product, which surprises me, because salting the quark and mixing it with a few herbs doesn't take that much effort to do yourself. It's easy to prepare even in advance without having to buy it ready-made (I'm assuming that's the case, otherwise I don't understand why you only get the dip with the kilo of preservatives). And we had to wait an hour for food, but I think the staff was at full capacity, so that can happen. I've been there twice before and always thought it was really good. Unfortunately it has worn off quite a bit. Unfortunately, the ambience cannot diminish the fact that the food was not good. I would also prefer to give one star, but because of the service, who tried not to let us see the stress in the store and looked after us nicely. Gives a plus point.

Been a regular customer in various cities for almost 20 years. Regular customer in Munich for 10 years. Unfortunately, the service has deteriorated significantly in the last few months. Orders are forgotten (salad was forgotten before the steak), waiters don't know who ordered what and go from table to table with the plates, chefs prefer to look at their cell phones rather than at the steak. Order steak medium and it arrives half raw. Have to have it returned to the kitchen, which I really almost never do. I also often ordered the French onion soup...significantly less onions and less cheese than in previous years. Not so tasty anymore. Unfortunately it has happened to me here several times and so I had to write a review. It also seems as if there are fewer staff and they are naturally overwhelmed and can't do anything about it. Management should rethink personnel planning here - especially on weekends! It's no longer the experience it used to be and I think it's time to look for something new.

Everything perfect. All 5 stars. 👍
