BLOCK HOUSE Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof Harkortstraße in Düsseldorf

I have eaten at several different Block Houses, and it has always been good and well prepared. The only two exceptions were at this restaurant, next to the station in Düsseldorf. The entrecote I ordered medium rare turned out to be a poor quality well-cooked entrecote with many tendons. The burger was not good and the fries served were not even average.

The usual log cabin quality. Service was also completely fine.

- friendly service - generous portions - delicious food - reasonable prices - has something for everyone

We sat at the bar and I can absolutely recommend the place. We shared the T-bone steak with extra fried onions. Delicious. But above all I have to praise the service… We received great service from Twana with great suggestions. Can only recommend it!

Very good food and the service was high quality.

Mega delicious steaks. Totally delicious bread. The beef soup was awesome, I thought it was very good. The fries were also great

The food is very good. The service is excellent, very attentive and friendly. Would eat there again and again.

I had my first Filet Mignon and it taste so good. 😋 Very recommendable, also their service is top! 👌🏻

The staff very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and the prices are reasonable.

On Good Friday at 9:20 p.m. we, my wife, child and I wanted to eat a steak. The waiter, with his iPhone in his hand, without saying good evening, told us straight away “we close at 10pm”. I replied “no problem, we eat and leave” Waiter: “But we close at 10 p.m., so you have to be outside by then” I replied: “we can do it” Waiter: “They have to be out by 10 p.m., so eat quickly” As a restaurateur and restaurant owner for 20 years, I know what hospitality is and I would be happy to train this unsystematic waiter with me for free. Let me know in response to this review and I'll get back to you. And what I would like to mention is that we have already been to you 4-5 times in the last two months... so you have lost a good regular guest. I always liked to tip over 20%. Just by the way! I will not visit this restaurant again!!!

As usual, the food was delicious and the service was super friendly

We noticed it by chance, the service quality and meat are really worth trying.

Thank you Francesco for this lovely BH evening, the food was reliably good and the service was world class 👌🏼 we'll be back!

The bill should give 42 + the value of the drink and they charged much more because I ordered the salad afterwards and not during the order. Unwillingness

Compared to Maredo, I find the food here much more delicious. A friendly team of staff here at the main train station also ensures short wait times, and I found the price quite reasonable. Amex Platinum cardholders can use the restaurant credit at Block House.

Good service, delicious food. Gladly again!

The food at Block House was moderately tasty. However, I found both the service terrible (you had to loudly draw attention to yourself several times until you were served by the lords of creation with an annoyed sigh and/or eye roll) and the cleanliness was so-so, it's really night at night. Toilets with toilet seats covered in pee, toilet paper scattered on the floor (a bit like a dump) and the tables can also be wiped down. Food was really good, as always. Audience takes some getting used to.

I'm used to excellent service from Block House in Berlin, but my visit to Block House Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof was a big disappointment. The restaurant is located in an uninviting environment, right next to the train station, where there are many homeless people. That alone wouldn't be a problem, but the real trouble began after the meal: My partner and I had eaten for over 50 euros when, after leaving the restaurant, I remembered that I wanted to use the toilet again. However, an employee who was apparently of Indian origin refused me access on the grounds that, as a paying guest, I no longer had the right to do so. This unfriendly and customer-unfriendly attitude spoiled my entire visit. Especially with a chain like Block House, I expect a certain standard of hospitality - and unfortunately that wasn't met here. I will avoid this restaurant in the future.

Bombastic... We enter the restaurant at 9:24 p.m. and leave at 10:03 p.m., deliciously full. We wouldn't have been able to get anything anywhere else at 10 p.m. when the shops close, but here it's the finest. Thanks so much.

As always, the usual good quality from Blockhouse. Staff friendly and fast service. Steaks were good as always, especially the dessert (Belgian waffle) was very tasty.

Really TOP 👍 Steak is unbeatable in terms of price-performance and service in this restaurant is exceptionally good and attentive.

Yes, the hostel is quite central 🍀 Just the right thing if you want to see a lot of Düsseldorf ✔️ Room, bathroom clean & everything in order. Breakfast is good, home-style ✅. Always my pleasure

If you like beef Block House is a good place.

It was really great. The food was very tasty and filling. The staff was very attentive and friendly. We'd love to come back.

The restaurant is attractively and rustically designed. When I arrived I was seated and given the menu. After a short wait I was able to place my order: a sirloin steak with coleslaw, garlic bread and fries. I also ordered garlic butter and sour cream. After about 15 minutes the food was served - but without the dips we ordered. Even after waiting five minutes they were not in sight. When I asked the waitress about it, she reacted unfriendly and replied that she had just wanted to bring the dips and that I should be patient. Although the restaurant was sparsely busy at the time - with five wait staff and a manager on duty - the service left a lot to be desired. The food itself was disappointing: lukewarm, the fries tasted like they had been fried several times and the steak was well done even though I ordered it medium rare. The baguette was soft yet crispy, and the coleslaw was outstanding. I've had much better experiences at Block House.

As always, the “steak eater community” is divided. Some people avoid the BLOCK HOUSE just like they used to avoid the MAREDO, others love it. I belong to the middle faction. If I want a good steak that has a good price/performance ratio - then I go to BLOCK HOUSE. For decades, the chain has impressed with a solid concept when it comes to the selection of food and drinks. I've never experienced a "failure". The location here is still quite young, so even Düsseldorf residents often don't know that such a restaurant exists right next to the main station. The parking situation is a bit poor, but anyone who knows how to help and/or uses one of the parking garages in the hotels next door has found a good solution. In summer there is an outdoor terrace and even though you are in the middle of the city, the corner feels quiet and uncluttered. The service team was friendly, helpful and quick during my visits in summer and winter 2024 - 2024/2025. And if you have special requests, you should make them known. Just because something isn't on the menu doesn't mean it doesn't exist. All in all, a clear recommendation and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Oh, the quality of the food? Yes, solid and good. Of course there are also steakhouses that offer “even better” steaks. You just can't get them here at these prices. By the way, the beer here was always well chilled...in that sense. Bon appetit.

If there had been more stars for food and service... They all deserve it. A must for all steak fans...

Great service, great steaks - need I say more?

It's incredibly full there and you have to make a reservation, otherwise you'll wait at least 1/2 hour. However, I have to say that the food there is excellent! I ate the best steak of my life there because it was cooked perfectly. I can only recommend it.

Very tasty food for a really acceptable price. Very nice service. I'd love to come back for dinner.

Delicious steak at humane prices. A stop at the Block House is worth it every time. The service was okay. The food was very good.

Block House is my favorite restaurant - and I'm a vegetarian I can recommend everything here. The waitresses are friendly and very competent. The food comes quickly and is always good. The prices are also fair. Even the toilets are very pleasant. Even if you're a vegetarian, there's plenty of choice, no need to construct any vegetarian steaks or anything. And all of this in a noble ambience.

Tested two evenings in a row, which is already a good sign. Excellent meat and cooked as requested, very generous salad as a starter included. Very good choice of wines by the glass. The place is certainly a little too noisy but I enjoyed it and the service is fast and quite friendly.

The Steak was the best thing i ever ate. I ate the Filet Mignion. Everything was perfect.

We went to the Block House at the main station with friends for the first time. The service was extremely good, which makes me happy, and the atmosphere was very nice. The mixed salad was freshly prepared and crunchy and tasty. For steak I had the Rib Eye Mastercut, which was fried to a medium medium throughout, but the quality still had room for improvement. Then the absolute impudence of the supposed pepper sauce. A sweet broth with scattered peppercorns. Every packet of soup tastes better. An absolute disgrace for a steakhouse. If you can't do it, you should ban something like that from the menu.

Beautifully decorated restaurant with fast and very friendly service. We had a small burger, a New York cheese burger and linguine with crispy turkey steaks. I'll keep it short, everything tasted perfect. Thank you.

My impression of the blockhouse at Düsseldorf main station was rather medium good. Service was extremely fast and well trained, but there was a certain warmth or friendliness missing. When it comes to a log cabin, I expect a perfect steak in terms of taste. Here I have to say, it was good, but not very good. The cooking level I ordered: medium rare was perfect. In terms of price, it is in the upper middle class. I haven't been to the log cabin for many years and today's visit doesn't make me want to do it again in the near future. It was okay but for the money I could eat well or better somewhere else.

I had the sirloin meant to be cooked medium. It was overcooked, dry, and didn't have much flavor. The backed potatoe and bread were okay. The service was very slow and the restaurant was loud.

Our Block House in Düsseldorf, Hallowed be your name. My order comes, your steak appears. As in Lübeck, so in North Rhine-Westphalia. Give us our annual steak today and forgive us our hunger, as we forgive your waiting time. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from suffering. For yours is the meat and the spice and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. All joking aside, your steaks are just awesome ❤

Having been to a Blockhouse Restaurant more often recently, this visit surprised us very positively. A customer service employee is still alive. A perfect evening in both service and food.

Very friendly telephone contact when making the reservation. This continues in the restaurant. (Apparently the restaurant manager) The restaurant seemed clean and the ambience was completely ok for a normal dinner. At first glance the food was also reasonably priced. Overall, the food tasted good. I'm not a big eater and unfortunately I wasn't really full despite the starter. After the waiter apparently didn't receive a tip in the amount he had apparently hoped for, we were dealt with quickly and coolly. But we were given a very friendly farewell by the restaurant manager.

Very nice restaurant. Delicious food, friendly and quick service!

The quality of the food was very good. Service was attentive and friendly. You can spend a nice evening here.

Tasty food for a reasonable price. The food is what it promises to be, no more and no less.

We always eat at the Block House when we visit Germany and we thoroughly enjoyed this location with excellent staff who helped us purchase salt and pepper supplies for our return to the UK!!👍✅

When there is little activity, attentive service with a good price/performance ratio

We are Block House fans and so yesterday was our first time in Düsseldorf. Excellent here too. Service, ambience, food quality and additional services are excellent and high-class! Absolute top address - recommended without reservation!

The staff is extremely courteous and takes every request into account. We were more than thrilled with the food.

Best goulash and tartar im town...by far

I had a wonderful stay here! I felt not just a guest here, but a friend of the house. The service orientation and warmth of the employees is far above average and left a lasting impression on me during my visit today! The team works great together, every guest is treated so politely - I rarely experience something like that! Even though I was alone, I felt like I was at home with good friends. The quality of the food - as we know at Block House - is definitely worth 5 stars! My steak was prepared exactly how I wanted, fries and salad were perfect, as were the starter and my drinks just right. I'm looking forward to coming back!

Everything was great but the food wasn't. really disappointed 👎😞

The food was great, but the service was even better. This really needs to be highlighted. It was my first time there and I will come more often!

I ate there with my family today and the food was very good and tasted very good. The service was very nice and served us relatively quickly, maybe because it wasn't that busy, but still good. The ambience is super nice and stylish. It's worth a visit.

Ate here with my best friend, I haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time, wow, compliments to the chef and the servers, how hard these people work, the restaurant was full of 3 to 4 people who were just running and everything was still complete. under control! And once again the food was really delicious, I definitely recommend it. Waiting time was really good, everything was neat and super nice staff, if we are ever in the area again we will definitely eat here again!! Greetings from Amsterdam

I came during my holidays during the Euro in June two evenings in a row. Very warm welcome, the dishes were delicious. Very good address if I ever come back to Dusseldorf.

I had a pleasant visit to this steakhouse! The restaurant was clean and we had the pleasure of sitting outside, which was really pleasant on a lovely lunchtime. The staff was very friendly and responded to our wishes. The steak wasn't the best I had in Düsseldorf, but it was still totally sufficient and well prepared. All in all a nice place for a relaxed lunch. I'd love to come back!

I often go to Block-House and am always happy with the meat. Therefore a visit during a short stay in Düsseldorf. The goose season opened today in the restaurant. Unfortunately, the chef probably still needs to practice a bit. First, the "crispy goose" according to the menu was not crispy. Then a little too burnt, as you can see in the photos.

Staff nice and accommodating. The salads are always fresh and appetizing. The steaks were grilled really delicious. For dessert, Giovanni now serves ice cream, which is of very high quality. For a ball that deserves the name, and in a restaurant at a price of €2, you can't complain. That alone would give me 6 stars. Please keep it up and stay as you are. Kind regards, Siegfried Gollatz

I have eaten from Block House in many different cities. You get the same taste. Very successful.

Food and service depend heavily on the respective shift. As with all branches, the furnishings are a bit outdated. It's a shame because there's potential for more.

We got lost in Düsseldorf. We actually wanted to go to the block house near the Rhine and ended up at the train station. Man good!! Super clean and quiet. Great service and very tasty food.

Very expensive for little meat. The dog bones that are served here should not normally count towards the weight of the meat! Service was unfriendly after I asked why there was an empty bone on my plate.

The three of us spontaneously went to the restaurant on Friday evening. Even though it was really full, the nice young gentleman at reception organized a table for us. Within 10 minutes we had the menu and drinks. My steak was cooked just right, the side dishes were good and the waitress even brought extra sour cream for the baked potato without asking. Salad fresh and crunchy. Garlic bread is also very tasty. Even though it was really full and loud (it was the REHA trade fair in Düsseldorf and there were some people with special needs in the restaurant), all the service staff were nice, friendly and in a good mood. Price-performance ratio is right.

Went there for dinner with 4 people after seeing a musical... Everyone thought it was good and worth going here...

Very tasty food. Unfortunately very small portions. The men weren't fed.

Great, very tasty! Fries are always fresh and the salad with garlic dressing is just so delicious!1

As in every Block House we have been to so far, super nice and fast service, delicious food and with a parking garage right around the corner, very easy to reach for inner city conditions. We always like to come by for a good steak!

We were there on Saturday afternoon with 5 people. We wanted to enjoy the wait for my grandson (who enjoyed the Deutsche Bahn) with a drink. We were also allowed to sit down and order the drinks. When they came and we didn't order any food, Prudence was kindly informed that you have to say something like that in advance, as only guests with food orders are welcome here. All I can hear is the catering industry complaining that no guests are coming. It doesn't surprise me anymore. I'm thinking about whether I should still visit restaurants.

The rudest waiter in Germany I was shocked when the waiter, before handing me the card terminal, asked if I could give a small tip. I nodded in confusion (I thought a little was a few euros) and he entered the tip amount, hiding the terminal from my eyes. The amount was far too much for Germany. To be honest, very unpleasant. I think such rude people should not tip at all. I hope he is now happy with his forceful way of getting tips. I will never come to this place again because of such attitude. Btw waiters in Germany paid well

I went there for the onion soup! It was delicious! And salad was also very fresh and delicious! In terms of hygiene I didn't notice anything, everything was great! The staff was very nice and quick because I have to get to the train quickly🚄

At first I was skeptical because of the main station location. But the Blockhouse is set back a bit, has a nice terrace and since it is right next to the Federal Police building, you feel safe there even in the evenings. The food (Mrs. Rumpsteak) was excellent. We haven't eaten such a good, juicy steak in a long time. You can't do that at home. The service was very courteous and friendly. Ms. Raushan served us together with a second service person. There was a handwritten greeting on the bill, perhaps a phrase that every guest receives, but we still thought it was a very personal and beautiful gesture that brightened our evening. The prices are reasonable for the quality. It was our wedding anniversary - and we didn't regret being here. Gladly again at any time!

Very tasty steaks in the blockhouse style. Very child-friendly, which we noticed straight away. Thanks to the very nice service <3

Very kind staffs, nice atmosphere and nice foods:)

⚠️Warning! Food poisoning A few days ago I was in this restaurant and at first we received a friendly welcome. However, the waiter was very pushy and asked several times to try the mushroom sauce. So we took the steak and the sauce. I then had vomiting and intestinal problems that lasted overnight. The mushrooms tasted rotten and had a strange smell! The toilets were very unhygienic. We wanted to have a nice vacation in Düsseldorf. The restaurant should be closed due to poor hygiene! What a disgrace. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant to anyone!

Super well eaten, very friendly staff.

Very good food and above all very good service. Price performance is absolutely right

Food was fine, and value for money. Staff were attentive and polite service was quick. Menu selection wasn't too bad.

Staff and extremely accommodating and friendly. Would recommend the lava cake it was delicious. Definitely would come again for the steak. 🫶

Schnitzel with fries and a pilsner

Tasted good and also good service. Just next to Düsseldorf central station.

Food is nothing special. I find the location next to the main station practical. Rooms ok and clean. Service ok. It was only great because of the nice table companions.

You can enjoy delicious steaks on the terrace.

Please avoid this block house… Medium steak stolen and see pictures of what came... The waiter wanted to bring new steak but the big boss from this block house came and wanted to make me look wicked🫣 I bet and left immediately... It's a shame that people like that are in Block House. Disasters... In the picture you can see a medium steak 😂😂😂😂

We went for soup and it was a salty broth with no ingredients. However, I saw other dishes well served on the tables next to me, I think it was just a wrong choice. Nice place and good service.

Amazing food, nice flavors, neat dishes! Terrible service...courteous, friendly to make you feel comfortable. Spotlessly clean shop, with nice aesthetics.

The food was very good. Staff friendly and attentive. Unfortunately the portions are a little too small.

It is a very nice date for couples Restaurant where you can feel comfortable and eat pleasantly

Came across this restaurant near our hotel by chance and ate there before seeing the musical. Nice atmosphere, delicious food as usual and attentive staff. I'm a block house fan, even if it's expensive. Highly recommended despite the train station location.

Delicious steak, perfect cooking. Very friendly service.

As far as a good restaurant, the portion of my dish in relation to the price was sobering. We sat outside on a sunny, somewhat windy day, without a parasol, and it was a bit annoying that small flowers from the tree next to the restaurant kept falling onto the table and thus into the drinks and food. Still very good food but maybe not if you're really hungry.

The big advantage of the Block House chain is that you know exactly what you are getting, whether you are in Hamburg, Hannover, Berlin or Düsseldorf. An excellent steak, so no, vegans, this is not a place for you, with good accompaniments. Otherwise very good here in Düsseldorf, friendly.

Thank you very much for the delicious steaks. We had a great time. Also the young lady - the service was very kind and humane. 🥰 This is how I imagine a good restaurant: a calm and pleasant atmosphere, nice service and as the icing on the cake: great food. We're keeping our fingers crossed for you.

Searchable snack: Block House bread

A perfect place for a meal after the long day at the trade fair. The avocado tartare was something different. The steak was cooked just right and the fries were crispy. Very attentive staff. Thank you and gladly again

"My visit to the Block House at the train station in Düsseldorf was disappointing and disturbing. Not only was the staff, especially the gentleman who accompanied us to the table, very rude and unaccommodating, but there were also racist comments, even though we had never been there before "Such behavior is unacceptable and mars the entire dining experience. I hope management addresses this serious issue and provides a more pleasant and respectful environment."

It's all summed up in three words: noisy, messy and international. Let me explain: the place is trying to make money and provides service after service, so the place is constantly full and poorly soundproofed, therefore very noisy. The cuisine is nothing exceptional, the plates are made to be eaten, not to be enjoyed, we are closer to the canteen than to the culinary experience. A large city and proximity to the train station, the place is filled with people from all over the world so much so that the welcome is in English and not in German. And chery on the cake, in Germany, in Düsseldorf, not even any great beer on tap!

Top quality. Wines could be colder.

We were able to sit outside 🤩 The gentleman from service (Stani) was very friendly.

It was very cozy and delicious today. Keep it up

We experienced fantastic service yesterday, very attentive and friendly. The food was quite good.
