BLOCK HOUSE Am Thielenplatz in Hannover

As almost always...delicious filet mignon and friendly service. Still applies after my visit yesterday at the end of October 24th. Unfortunately, yesterday's Coleslow didn't meet the high standards: it was too watery for me.

A big compliment to the staff for welcoming and serving us so kindly 30 minutes before closing time! There were seven of us and 2 other restaurants nearby refused to let us order anything else from the menu because of the time. We felt very welcome at the Block House at Thielenplatz and the quality of the food was really good!! The Sauvignon Blanc is recommended. Thank you dear team from 10/26/24!!

Amazing steak! Really good! Compliments

Very friendly and attentive service. Food came relatively quickly and was very tasty. We'd love to come back.

With Ms. Ying Ying, we had a very committed service in every respect. Always happy again.

Always a pleasure. Great quality at reasonable prices with the best service. Requests will be addressed at any time.

Very nice staff, it tastes delicious and the prices are fair. Unfortunately it's hard to park there, otherwise it's really great.

Treated rudely if you want to sit outside! Never again…..

The food was very good. Service was very friendly and nice. Personally, I am very satisfied with the steakhouse.

Delicious food and very attentive service. Prices were great.

A good house from the Block House chain. Food good, service good, ambience good. The only suggestion for improvement: When we were on site at the beginning of September 2024, the toilet facilities were not in good condition, which can only be attributed to the guests leaving the toilets like that. Maybe the cleaning service should be increased.

As always, it was very tasty and the service was great and super friendly. We'd love to come back.

No matter where you are, Blockhouse is always equally good :D The service was also super friendly. Never been disappointed

Good service and food was served very fast. Meat was perfectly cooked and very tender.

Very child and family friendly. Good atmosphere.

Blockhouse Steakhouse offers a good steak experience. The steaks are perfectly prepared and of very good quality. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, ideal for a relaxed dinner. The service is attentive and friendly, which makes the stay even more pleasant. A visit to the Blockhouse Steakhouse is definitely recommended for anyone who appreciates good food in a pleasant atmosphere.

The atmosphere is nice, it was clean and a few tables were occupied. The waiters were all very friendly and quick, unfortunately the beer size was wrong, but we didn't say anything. The carpaccio was drowned in pesto and radishes [a few pine nuts would be better or Karpern with oil] Salt and pepper were added. After I scraped everything free, it was delicious with the garlic baguette. Unfortunately, the Parmesan wasn't as tasty as usual... The meat was great and a small slice of fruit like lemon or orange in mine Drink would have been great.

In addition to the steaks, a highlight was the great waitress Martina, who gave us a wonderful evening with a lot of ambition and warmth. A rarity in the service desert of Germany!

So our daughter who lives in Hanover told us about this restaurant for lunch called Block House. They are known for their steak. The food was good but the service from Sven Kuschel was poor at best starting with our order. He asked what we wanted to drink and was not happy I asked for a coke, he wanted me to have a beer which he made apparent by his response, I don't drink alcohol. Everyone then ordered food, I wasn't really hungry so I ordered the Goulash soup which was delicious and again attitude about my order. He never asked how our food was after our order was served, he never asked my wife how she wanted her burger cooked or what dressing she wanted on her salad, or ketchup for her fries, in fact he said it was her responsibility to say something. He was busily asking customers around us about their food and completely ignored us. What I leave here is Sven's tip, Sven take care of your customers regardless of what they order, ask how they liked their food cooked, do the basics great servers do around the world and leave your attitude at the door.

Sorry, one of the worst steaks I've ever eaten. Seasonal menu with mushrooms and rum steak chosen. Of the supposed three species of mushrooms, I only found one. After complaining, there was no answer or apology. Unfortunately the meat wasn't good either.

Food and service were very good. Personally I find the decor dated, but luckily you go there for the food.

It was a very nice evening, delicious food, super friendly service

Great steakhouse. Nice atmosphere. Very good staff. With a small outdoor terrace. We'd love to come back. The steak was cooked to perfection. I can only recommend this steakhouse. We'd love to come back. Thank you for this experience.

1. Dishes are very old, glasses are scratched. Everything is no longer beautiful. 2. The food wasn't worth the price. Carelessly prepared and served. The side dishes are a joke. Food generally has little taste. Cream sauce in the mushroom pan was from the bag. 3. Salad was good. - but that's also a standard that everyone can do... nothing special. 4. The waiter was unfortunately very inattentive. We weren't asked if we wanted anything else to drink or how it tasted. We had to wait forever until he noticed us and we could pay. 5. Toilet was clean. ;) 6. Fries were out - or fryer was broken.

Very good service. I have rarely received friendlier or better service. The food is good and expensive, as you would expect from the chain. Everyone has to know for themselves whether it's worth it. You can definitely get better food for a cheaper price. Still definitely recommended for me.

How much can you go wrong with the Block House tradition? The menu is stable and has grown accordingly in euros according to everyone else, the portions are also getting smaller, I can compare this well with the fitness pan, which I last ate probably 5-6 years ago! I can still say: Consistent, very good quality. For my taste, I miss the Diet Coke, don't smile, there is only Coke Zero. As always, the food is served to the table promptly and you can be completely satisfied with the service.

Unfortunately the quality has deteriorated significantly, rib eye was sold out, the actual reason for our visit. The baked potatoes were warmed up and soggy, so we left half of them. The quality of the meat was okay, but no longer hot when served, service was very attentive and friendly as always.

Steaks perfect as always... House wine as always well chilled and delicious

Everything was great, nice service, great food

Tastes good, but not a highlight! Service friendly, but forgot a drink! Food actually too “expensive” for the price, ambience subterranean

Restaurant is centrally located but quiet. Lots of outdoor space on the pedestrian zone. Quality of the food like in all B.H. restaurants. BUT: Steak was only cooked to the desired cooking point after the complaint and fries were no longer warm. Service staff mostly attentive and friendly.

Simply great. The service was very courteous and friendly. The food (new york cheese burger + steak) was super tasty. The restaurant has a small but more than sufficient selection of food as well as a plentiful variety of drinks. My favorite is the passion fruit spritzer. Not too expensive but not cheap either. We will come back in any case.

Simply super delivers what it promises

I was with a friend of mine and we had lunch there. Nice service, very personable, helpful boss. Gladly again.

Excellent price quality and service

I'm totally thrilled. We ended up here by chance and I didn't want to because I didn't feel like eating meat and was very impressed by the new selection of vegetarian dishes. I think everyone will find something there :) the atmosphere was also very relaxed, the restaurant is also very clean and the employees were very friendly. We will be back!

Very tasty food and very cozy. All around good.

Very good and fast steak shop. The crab appetizer wasn't good, but the steak was good. Don't take the crab appetizer

Ordered steak to take away. My buddy was really happy in the hospital next door. Everything was well packaged and very tasty - thank you

Of course, a restaurant in a fairly central location either has to have good seating or the prices are high to cover the cost of existence alone, which is why I deduct a point for the ambience. But since the prices are right, the number of places is taken into account. But overall it doesn't seem overloaded but rather harmoniously furnished. The food meets the higher expectations and the service is professional.

Always worth a visit, everything was right. I felt really comfortable there, thank you very much

Basically everything was fine until we got to the payment. When paying, the waiter, as he said, “rounded up” without asking and wanted to charge us that amount. When we asked why he did that and pointed out that we found it a bit unfriendly, we were loudly complained about in front of everyone. The only unfriendly thing we see here is because we wouldn't tip… That is not how it works! Far from the fact that we planned to give tips in cash. That didn't happen anymore. Just when we thought this nightmare was over, the waiter came back with the receipt and reiterated how rude we were being. We were not said goodbye and were more or less thrown out. I have never experienced something like that. I will not visit this store again.

Really a very nice evening. The service is very attentive and the food is very tasty. Always worth a visit.

Very good and quick food. Service attentive and friendly. Ate there two days in a row.

We were in the restaurant today. The condition Adrian was very friendly and talkative. Never experienced such a nice waiter. The best block house from Hanover! Any time!

Steak tasty as always but increasingly too many tendons in the meat. Still a guaranteed good meal.

Minimal location, not too refined, but with a large number of seats. Obviously specific menu on meat, the dish of which fully convinced me (very good meat and perfect cooking). However, I was less convinced by the dessert (waffle), which was a little too mangy. Correct service; Worth noting is the waitress' willingness to bring a small present to our diner who was celebrating his birthday. Price a little too high compared to the quality offered.

Best steak I have ever had in Germany! The filet miñon was so delicious, I have been twice during my trip, the first time I got it with the baked potato and the second time with the fries, both amazing! Get the garlic butter and sour cream. So delicious, the service was amazing both times!!! They are also well aware of allergies!

I ate it medium (about Korean medium rare). The meat is tender, the salad is delicious, and the garlic baguette that comes with it is also delicious.

Always very good service. We recommend!

We were there for the third time and will eat there again when we are in Hanover.

The taste was great, the steak was on point. Service nice and friendly.

We were there on Saturday. A few years ago I went to the Block House in Hamburg a lot and was now extremely disappointed. I have never eaten such a bad carpaccio in my life, the appearance alone wasn't even mediocre, I'm used to other things at the same or cheaper price. The 250 gram fillet steak tasted good, but no emphasis was placed on appearance here either, although I also suspect that it wasn't 250 grams. After we paid and told the waiter our shortcomings, he wasn't surprised because he apparently hears this often. Really very disappointing and this was probably the last time we'll see Block House. Maybe all the people who give positive reviews here should go to The Ash or Timberjacks because you get a great atmosphere, great food and you definitely won't be disappointed

I've never eaten worse. It was totally disappointing and the prices were outrageous. The waiter was very friendly. When I paid, I told him that it was one of the worst carpaccio I've ever eaten and that I wasn't full from the starter and main course. I think based on his reaction, he hears something like that often! Block House never again!!!

Very tasty and pleasant atmosphere. The service was very accommodating.

I was there spontaneously yesterday and got a table without a problem, even without a reservation. Service, food and service first class. Always a recommendation.

Very tasty food and nice service. Always happy to come back.

Simply delicious. Service was super nice and cool. Service, ambience and proximity to the guests are top.

Fast, friendly service without a table reservation. Delicious steak medium with a fresh salad plate. Dessert to enjoy too. Thank you.

Great service, great food! Our steak was exactly how we wanted it. Our waitress was extremely attentive and super friendly. All in all a great evening! You can eat great steaks here! Cheers 🍻

As always, super tasty and nice staff

Top service and very tasty food 😍😍😍

Blockhouse is always worth a visit. The meat was of the best quality and was cooked to perfection...just as I ordered it. The salad is always crisp and fresh. Reordering dressing or sour cream... no problem either.

There's nowhere good to eat lately. Everything is overpriced, not of good quality and bad-tempered waiters*. I have to give the waiter credit for saying "Thank you" over and over again. As for the food I ordered: the tomatoes in the salad were old, the meat was peppered way too much, had barely any salt, was tough and had no flavor. If you can't get good meat at a steakhouse, why pay so much money?! Unfortunately, many cafes/restaurants don't deserve the rating they receive and like many other things, it's just hype. People go there, but it's hard to understand. There is no standard anymore. Mediocrity is everywhere.

It was once again a celebration to be there as a guest. We were served by Renzo, Lena, Martina and Ying Ying. The service was excellent, very friendly and helpful, even with my special requests. So in short, great service. The steaks were once again incredibly delicious, grilled to perfection just as we ordered them. The salad and side dishes were also very tasty. Also a big compliment to the kitchen.

All very good and classic block house

Delicious food, super nice service, Was very excited

Cool place with a very tasty menu. Only the waiters are in no hurry to come and take the order and payment. We just waited for 40 minutes.

I love Blockhouse and its different offers 🥹 as a child we never went to McDonalds but I associate it a lot with blockhouse vdh! Only the location is usually not that nice. Otherwise everything was amazing 🤩🫶🏻 greetings califerro

We were in a group for dinner without a reservation. That wasn't a problem and we got a table. The lady who served us was very nice. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the other employees. It seemed very stressful and restless to us guests. The tone among each other was not very friendly. The price-performance ratio is not adjusted. The portions are far too small for the money (I know, the standard answer that it will be checked regularly will come)... after visiting the restaurant we ate a bite elsewhere. .. 4 women were simply still hungry. Soft fries are slapped onto the plate and the meat is added... very careless and simple... My meat was not medium, but very well done. When I asked, they just said that I should have eaten faster (from the waiter, who seemed so unfriendly anyway). Unfortunately the Coleslow salad doesn't taste good at all. It's a shame, we were really looking forward to it. The pasta dishes are also very clear. What I found nice was the presentation of the spritzer drinks. These are served in a small carafe. I come from the catering industry myself. I know how stressful it can be. Maybe we should work on getting along with each other again. We won't come again.

It was very tasty and the service was also nice. We recommend.

The food was a dream, we had 250g steak with mushrooms and a salad that was included in the price. They are open to special requests.

Super nice, very tasty, again and again!

There's nothing negative to say. The food was good, but you have to expect that it's often full.

Top Nothing to complain about Food top Service super friendly

We always like to come. Very nice atmosphere

Gewohnt gute Qualität wie wir es vom Block House gewöhnt sind 😄

Ein perfektes Team in Kombination mit dem Zauber der Küche lässt jeden Sonntag zu einem kleinen Erlebnis werden.

Sehr leckeres Essen, freundliches Personal

Seit 16 Jahren gehe ich nun schon regelmäßig zum Blockhouse in Hannover. Dabei wechselt der Standort meist zwischen Kröpcke und Aegidientorplatz. Gestern waren jedoch beide Restaurants komplett ausgefüllt, sodass meine Partnerin und ich spontan zum Blockhouse am Thielenplatz gingen. Um es direkt auf den Punkt zu bringen: Als wir ankamen, wurden wir mit dem Hinweis begrüßt, dass alle Plätze belegt seien und wir später wieder kommen sollen (obwohl im Vergleich zu den anderen Läden der Eingang bis auf uns leer war). Jedoch lief gerade ein Paar an uns vorbei zum Ausgang und so sprach ich die Empfangsdame freundlich erneut an und fragte, ob denn deren Tisch vielleicht frei sei. Darauf hin erwiderte sie "lassen sie mich bitte meinen Job machen" und bat uns einen Platz an der Bar an. Wenig später sprach ich den Kellner an, der den Tisch des Pärchens abräumte und er meinte, dieser frei sei. Darauf hin platzierte er uns an den Tisch. Der Kellner (Herr mit kurzen, dunklen Haaren) war so im Stress, dass wir keine Bestellung oder Wunsch zu Ende aussprechen konnten, ohne dass er schon wieder über alle Berge war. Er musste deshalb öfters doppelt laufen, anstatt einmal richtig zuzuhören. Das passierte mehrmals. Dann räumte er das Essen ab, ohne zu fragen, ob alles recht war und verschwand direkt, ohne das man ihm Feedback geben konnte. Denn beim Hauptgang meiner Partnerin fehlten bei den drei Klassikern das Brot und die Champignons. Ebenfalls war mein Rumpsteak rare, statt Medium. Als der Kellner dann die Nachspeisekarte brachte, habe ich ihn schnell darauf hingewiesen, bevor er wieder verschwand. Immerhin gab es als "Entschädigung" eine Kugel Eis für meine Freundin auf's Haus. Entschuldigt wurde sich dafür jedoch nicht. Nachdem wir dann bezahlt hatten, verschwand er auch schon direkt wieder, ohne sich zu bedanken oder sich zu verabschieden. Ich muss gestehen, dass ich selten Rezensionen abgebe und in den anderen Blockhouse-Fillialen nahezu immer zufrieden war. Hier stimmt jedoch einiges nicht. Das Personal war angesichts des vollen Restaurants völlig überfordert und angespannt, verlor dabei schnell die Professionalität, was sehr schade war. Das Thema "korrekte Garstufen" hatte ich bisher nur im Thielenplatz, jedoch nicht bei den anderen Fillialen. Insgesamt haben wir uns hier leider nicht gut aufgehoben gefühlt und bevorzugen daher zukünftig wieder die Besuche in den anderen Fillialen vom Blockhouse. -

Die Steaks waren hervorragend! Besonders das American Tenderloin war ausgezeichnet zubereitet. Wie kommen wieder!

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundlicher Service. Gerne wieder

Gute Bedienung. Gute Steaks. Selbe Karte wie in den anderen Filialen. Genau so wie ich es erwarte….

Der Kellner war sehr aufmerksam essen war gut und reichlich. Nichts dran auszusetzen

Die anderen Restaurants sind gemütlicher, "mein" Koch vom aegi trifft mein Steak besser auf dem Punkt

Wie immer toll. Ist einfach immer was Schönes und wir gehen zu jedem Geburtstag, Weihnachtsfeier, etc da hin.

Wir hatten eine top Bedienung - Vielen Dank an Martins

Wir sind öfters nach der Arbeit dort essen oder auch in der Pause. Das Essen ist sehr lecker, leider nicht immer Platz zur Verfügung.Was ich unbedingt erwähnen muss auch im Namen meiner Kolleginnen der Maik eine super nette, freundliche kompetente Bedienung, ganz lieben Dank noch mal an ihn.

Essen war super...Preis Leistung ok...sehr aufmerksames Personal

Ich bin seid vielen Jahren Blockhaus Kunde,und gehe oft in das Blockhaus am Aegi. Aber leider mache ich die schlechtesten Erfahrungen immer in dem gleichen Blockhaus. Ich war ca.20 mal in dem Restaurant am Aegi und 2 mal habe ich das Steak reklamiert, und 2 mal kam die Frau Restaurant Leiterin und fing mit mir an zu diskutieren was ich gegen das Steak habe. Sowas unfreundliches und dann noch laut zu werden. Es war mir total unangenehm schade das so ein Restaurant mit so einem Status solche Führungskräfte hat. In Zukunft werde ich dieses Blockhaus meiden.

Schönes Block House, gewohnt gutes Steak und nettem Service. Ein Klassiker 😊.

Ich war heute das erste Mal dort. Ich wurde super lieb empfangen. Martina macht einen super Job. Sehr lieb und zuvorkommend. Sie erklärte mir alles ganz genau. Ich fand es witzig wie sie mich einhakte und zum Tisch begleitete. Sehr nettes und lustiges Personal. Immer wieder gerne :)

Tolles Erlebnis heute dort gehabt. Keine Züge fuhren und wir entschieden uns spontan in einer größeren Gruppe dort zu essen. Einen Anruf später wurde es möglich gemacht, wir bekamen einen gemeinsamen Tisch. Die Karte war für alle ausreichend, sogar Vegetarier wurden fündig. Der Service war exzellent, den Bedürfnissen angemessen und situativ passend. Sogar die Wärmflasche einer Kollegin wurde gefüllt. Vielen Dank für dieses positive Erlebnis von Service, davon hatten wir heute echt zu wenig.

Ich war zufällig in Hannover und habe das Block House besucht. Service war schnell und freundlich. Essen/ Steak war top, auf den gewünschten Punkt. Ambiente war entsprechend angepasst. Tendenziell etwas rustikal und sauber. Sollte ich wieder vor Ort sein, komme ich wieder.

Service sehr gut.Man muß etwas Zeit mitbringen. Dafür ist das Essen sehr gut.

Wir waren Samstag Abend mit 3 Personen im Block House essen! Es war, wie immer, hervorragend! Trotz „voller Bude“ war der Kellner stets aufmerksam und höflich! Gegessen haben wir sowohl, Vorspeise, als auch Hauptgericht und anschließend Dessert. Ich denke, das spricht für sich! Geschmacklich wie immer on point! Frau Engelke und ihr Team sind tolle Gastgeber, wir kommen äußerst gerne her!

Wir waren am Wochenende mit 2 Erwachsenen und 3 Kindern dort und ich muss sagen : Hut ab an das ganze Team 💕 Der Laden war rappelvoll aber es hatte jeder ein Lächeln auf den Lippen, einen lieben Spruch parat und war immer aufmerksam. Sei es die Dame vom Empfang, der Herr der unseren Tisch betreut hat, die liebe Schülerin die für die Getränke zuständig war und sogar die Chefin des Hauses (liebe Grüße an dieser Stelle an Frau Engelke). Das Essen war wie gewohnt Mega. Wir hatten zur Vorspeise das Avocado Tatar, welches frisch und spritzig abgeschmeckt war, die Maronen Suppe schmeckte herrlich weihnachtlich. Zum Steak als Hauptgang brauche ich nichts zu sagen : Perfekt vom Grillmeister zubereitet. Ich freue mich immer wieder hier lecker und schön essen zu gehen und freue mich noch mehr nächste Woche hier mit meinen Lieben meinen Geburtstag feiern zu dürfen 😊

Das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis stimmt hier absolut nicht. Welcher erwachsene Mensch soll von dieser Portion annähernd satt werden. Dann dafür fast 25€ für das billigste Essen zu verlangen ist grenzwertig. Das sollte dringend überdacht werden. Und es ist nicht der Preis sondern die Portierung ( zum Beispiel vom Kartoffelgratin oder 2 Stücken Fleisch in Größe eines Chicken MC Nuggets).

Wir waren heute zu dritt (zwei Erwachsene und ein vierjähriges Kind) essen. Es bedienten uns zwei Kellner, diese waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es wurde uns gleich eine Sitzerhöhung für die kleine angeboten und mal Sachen gegeben. Das Essen war sehr lecker und die Steaks auf den Punkt gebraten. Die Fleischqualität war sehr gut und Köche haben einen hervorragenden Job gemacht. Hervorheben möchte ich zum Schluss nochmal die beiden Kellner die echt super waren! Aktualisierung vom 17.11.23: Dieses mal waren wir zu zweit, alles wie oben beschreiben. Gleicher Service wie gewohnt und sehr zuvorkommend. Super Atmosphäre auch wenn es diesmal voller war. Für mich immer wieder eine Wahl!

Leider hat uns unserer heutiger Aufenthalt im Block House überhaupt nicht gefallen. Sehr enttäuscht waren wir vom Essen. Die Portionen waren sehr klein, die Qualität und der Geschmack der Speisen waren unterdurchschnittlich (Bowl für 16,90€, Filetmedaillons mit Gemüse für 23,40€). Die Preise entsprachen absolut nicht der Quantität und der Qualität des Essens. Der Service war gut. Wir werden künftig andere Restaurants besuchen.
