BLOCK HOUSE Frankfurt Westend in Frankfurt am Main

It was really great, the meat was excellent and the side dishes were fresh and well prepared. It's a shame that you can't order Béarnaise sauce with the rib eye. the wine list could also be more extensive.

Until recently we were regular guests (2-3 times) per week, with a corresponding monthly turnover. The service staff and management knew us. Depending on the location of the table, we sometimes have to deal with more, sometimes less motivated staff. Fortunately, more often with nice, attentive staff - when certain tables were free. We were happy to give good tips. On our last visit, which we of course weight in the rating, the rack of lamb was tough. This was probably not due to the kitchen, the cooking level was right, but rather the quality. As we often asked at the end of the meal whether everything had been okay, we pointed out the problem. Of course, from a legal point of view there was no objection, the meat was eaten and a complaint was difficult to handle. If it is notorious that only one person could have eaten if the service and the kitchen had been reported immediately, it becomes understandable why a complaint could not be made immediately for this reason. The service staff at the table also shared this view and would have taken the complained dish off the bill. Certainly a case-by-case decision. The restaurant manager, who was responsible for the evening, decided against the arguments of our service at the table and of course also against our arguments without having discussed them personally at the table. Of course you received your money. At least we as regular guests lost.

Very tasty food for a good price. Quality is great too! The facility is clean and well maintained, but not modern.

- Overwhelmed employees - far too long waiting times - Food was served cold - no apology - Lettuce leaves as big as half the side of my face - if I have to spend 5 minutes chopping the salad myself, I'd rather stay at home Thank you, never again

The steaks are really good and the seating is good.

Block House is a simple way to satisfy hunger. Price performance is not quite there. Our meat dishes were good in terms of meat. However, the baked potatoes are reminiscent of tasteless mashed potatoes.

Steaks and salads are great. The service and atmosphere are very good. I recommend.

Very nice staff responded to our special requests without further ado and they were implemented without further ado

Always an experience to enjoy the relaxed, friendly atmosphere there. We have never been disappointed - neither with the food, the service or the atmosphere.

Steaks are always cold when they are brought out. Even fries are the same. The opposite is the case on the stock exchange: steak is always hot.

Good food, portions are just too small now. Afterwards we had to eat our fill in the “Stadtsalat” opposite us…

Delicious food. Good service. I recommend the place.

Always the same good quality for years... Nice quick service... Always my pleasure...

Ordered the most expensive piece of meat and still they managed to ruin it by grilling too hot, burning the outside while undercooking the center. It seems the chefs don't actually get to try what they send out. Would not recommend this place to anybody. The sides were low quality also.

Very nice service..the steak was on point..side dish also delicious..

I ordered the tenderloin steak around 2020-2021 for €31.50. almost 3-4 years later it costs a whopping €44!!! Of course everything has become more expensive and I was able to account for the approximately €38 for the tenderloin with inflation etc. The renewed price increase However, it makes me want to turn my back on Block House and look for other restaurants in the future. I find an almost 50% surcharge within 3-4 years unacceptable. Now the prices have been reduced again, but the steaks are now smaller. Shrinkflation at Blockhouse!

Last night we had dinner at the Blockhouse and the steak (fillet and rib eye) were perfectly medium rare, it couldn't have been better! In addition, the service was top and highly recommended!

Loved every minute in here...thought I wouldn't considering the exterior wasn't anything particularly special. The atmosphere was great, was quite busy most likely because of Automechanika but that didn't slow the speed of service! 100% recommend. Thanks Block House, hope to see you again someday.

When I took the bus to the botanical garden, I saw a large steakhouse in front of the bus stop. I took a leisurely look at the botanical garden in the morning and entered the store just in time for it to open at 12:00. I received the rib roast steak. It was delicious. What if we partnered with botanical gardens to issue discount coupons? It was quite crowded even during lunch time on a weekday.

Top service, great food, gladly again!

Steak was very good. And the service was attentive and warm-hearted and made us feel very comfortable. Thanks goes to Dily

Great food, good value for money. Very good service. The only disadvantage: it is quite loud and uncomfortable when the restaurant is busy. No parking spaces available! The best way to arrive is by subway.

Excellent Steaks,resnoble prices. Excellent Service Can get a bit loud when the restaurant is full. Worth the money

Were received very friendly. Service and steaks and cheeseburgers were delicious.

Recommended this place, good food and nice atmosphere 👌

Very good food, preferably fillet steaks 300 g plus baked potatoes, sour cream and salads with Italian dressings. Nice quick service. In the summer you can sit outside very nicely. Located directly on Bockenheimer, very centrally in the Westend.

The restaurant was so very busy, and it felt like they wanted us in and out quickly. Mains were brought out without entree plates being cleared. My steak, although nicely cooked, was small - guessing less than 100g. But the vegetables were actually inedible. They were cooked to the point of being bloated and flavourless and have to be the soggiest and saddest vegetables I have ever seen. The meat, veg and gratin was all slapped together on a plate and looked very unappealing.

Just a typical steakhouse - but a really nice waiter who enjoyed his job and was super attentive. Food was great with a good price/performance ratio

Fries with wheat and sugar in the pepper - if you like it... in any case the selection for guests with lactose and gluten intolerance is very limited, which is a shame. If you also want to avoid refined sugar, you will unfortunately come away empty-handed.

The food was great. I had a cheeseburger with fries and a beer. You can't complain about the price and the service was very friendly and prompt.

The menu is varied and also suitable for vegetarians. Everyone will find something here. The service is nice and the service is quick.

Real nice restoran with great garden,great food

Really good tasting steaks! I have known the log cabin for over 20 years and the quality has always been consistently good over the years. Good price/performance ratio The staff could be friendlier and more accommodating. Many people only speak broken German.

Good was amazing and service just as much

A place like family restaurant. The steak is delicious, and the staff is friendly.

Typisches Haus der Kette. Im Großen und Ganzen OK aber auch nichts besonderes. Die Portionen sind zum Preis eher übersichtlich. Vom Geschmack und der Qualität aber in Ordnung. Das beschädigte Gläser an die Gäste verteilt werden, ist peinlich. Vor allem, wenn das Glas offensichtlich nicht erst frisch beschädigt ist. Mehrere Macken am Fuss des Glases. Mit vollem Haus ist das nicht zu erklären, denn viel los war zum Zeitpunkt unseres Besuchs nicht.

Very tasty, also a choice for vegetarians if the rest of the family needs their meat ;-). Child-friendly, all the waitresses are super friendly, people still smile here.

Steaks as they should be, crispy fish salad, the finest baked potatoes and an ingenious sour cream! Prices are just ok, you pay for good things! But the highlight was the service. Fast, super friendly and funny. We felt very comfortable at Dobrinka! 👍👍👍 Thank you for a nice evening! 🙏🙏🙏 A small drawback: the comfortable wicker chairs on the terrace have been replaced by hard, backless benches 🙄 🐺

Great place to eat meat. Rib-eye Mastercut is off the chart. Good service and nice athmosphere. I was served by Adrian who was awesome: fast, efficient, funny and always in a good mood 👌

Delicious steak and roasted potato with sour cream. Salad with champignons was only ok.

Friendly staff. Very short waiting time. Simple decoration on the table.

Coming from the north, we have known Blockhouse and its quality for a long time. We have been to Frankfurt several times. The quality decreases significantly. The last time we visited a few months ago we weren't so happy anymore. Last week (workday, evening, holidays and hardly any visitors...) Unfriendly service, salad carelessly prepared, fillet steak burnt and overcooked, even though ordered "English". Therefore no longer recommended for the prices. A pity.

The steakhouse is a bit old. Orders were taken incorrectly and by the time the changes were served the steaks were almost cold...

A cheeseburger and a coke for 22,3€ -> see it for yourself on the picture. Neither the quality in taste, nor the visual presentation justifies the price. Thats possibly the worst price/value ratio in the city at the moment

The service was experienced and friendly. You can sit outside in a nice location, but in the long run it's not really comfortable without backrests and padding. The meat and salad dressing were good, but the side dish (fries, probably frozen) and the dessert (gastro ice cream with spray cream) were at best of average standard.

Typical chain house. Overall OK but nothing special either. The portions are rather manageable for the price. But the taste and quality are okay. The fact that damaged glasses are handed out to guests is embarrassing. Especially if the glass is obviously not recently damaged. Several flaws at the base of the glass. This can't be explained by a full house, because there wasn't much going on at the time of our visit.

Very tasty food. The three classics also delight vegetarians. Price/performance is ok. There is also a cheap day menu for lunch. The salads are also very good. We've always enjoyed coming to this place because it's always been good.

**Restaurant Review: Blockhouse, Frankfurt** I recently visited Blockhouse in Frankfurt with my 8-year-old son. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the pleasant weather. Shortly after, the manager approached us in a very unwelcoming manner, instructing us to remove outside food. While this policy is understandable, the condescending and cold delivery of the message was unnecessary and lacked empathy. This interaction forced me to ask my son to finish his small sushi pieces outside, near the street, which was disheartening. Despite ordering food from their restaurant, the manager showed no concern or understanding. Even the general manager seemed indifferent to our situation. On a positive note, one of the other employees attempted to improve our experience by offering free ice cream, which was a kind gesture. Additionally, I took a steak to go, which was decent. However, the manager's dismissive attitude overshadowed these positives. I would also suggest reconsidering the ambiance; playing American country music might give a misleading impression that outside food is allowed, akin to some American restaurants. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere was not welcoming, reflecting a cultural coldness I've observed elsewhere in Germany. In summary, while the food was satisfactory, the lack of hospitality was disappointing. Improvement in customer service is essential for a better dining experience.

Steakhouse in Frankfurt's Westend: The usual food in steakhouses, not worse, but also not better than anywhere else. Unfortunately it was no longer hot when it was served. The waitress had no idea, was not yet well trained and caused chaos in service and billing.

We hadn't reserved a table but got one outside on the terrace. The staff were friendly and the food was great. Even though the restaurant was right on the main street, you hardly noticed any traffic. We would love to come back when we are here.

No atmosphere. You don't hear anything because of the music. You cannot have a normal conversation. The service was horrible. Not attentive, rude and disinterested. The food wasn't that good either.

I came here again after 6 years and was disappointed to find that the steaks are no longer the same as the ones I ate there 6 years ago. It's a shame, I think that was the last time 🥲

Burgers come on a piece of garlic baguette without a lid, the whole thing is called a New York Cheese Burger. Oh well. Service was courteous, Radeberger Pils was fresh. The ambience is a bit outdated.

The salmon is overcooked. Drinks are good

. Steak (medium rare), medium rare . Pasta and hamburgers are usually

Wir waren abends zur Essenzeit da und hatten einen Tisch draußen, der noch nicht abgeräumt war. Nach 10Minuten Warten, machten wir auf uns aufmerksam. Der Kellner kam und sagte, es dauere noch einen kleinen Moment. Nach weiteren 10Minuten, in denen ein Pärchen in Empfang genommen wurde, ihr Tisch abgeräumt und abgewischt wurde und die Bestellung aufgenommen wurde, unser Tisch war nach wie mit Gläsern und Flaschen vollgestellt, sind wir gegangen.

We went the for a pint. Sat outside. Took ages to pay our bill.

Ordered medium rare and had to go back to the grill to come back well done. Completely fibrous entrecote. Unfortunately, this experience does not lead to a recommendation.

Nice place, quick service, decent food. Had the burger which was okay, the nice dish was the lamb, a little small, but with very penny

The very best experience nothing to compare to the other BLOCK House locations in Frankfurt.

Me and my girlfriend ordered a T-bone for two, it took almost 45 minutes to come, twice for me to ask updates and when it finally arrived it was horribly plated (we didn’t even take a picture of it that’s how bad it was looking), uneven sear and no way near close the medium rare that we asked. Waiter could say it might take long time, or inform us at all. 60€ for the steak and 1 drink and this is the experience that we got. Very disappointing from a steak house, really amateur and disrespectful. Never again.

We went here for dinner this afternoon. The waitress was a very friendly, attentive woman who loved children. The child received a coloring sheet and crayons with their order, the food first and a small gift when paying. We were very happy with the food, the steaks were perfect. The ambience was right and also the weather for sitting outside. The entire staff was very friendly. We'd love to come back.

Super tasty food and top service, highly recommended... We would love to come back...

Zwei große Pommes bestellt, etwas zum Trinken. Service relativ unhöflich - jung und abgehoben. Wir wollten in Bar zahlen (mit 2€-Stücken), das wollten sie erst nicht annehmen, und diskutierten erst, bis wir damit zahlen durften…

Reasonable prices, delicious steaks and friendly service.

Great location, something for everyone.

Absolutely embarrassing..Fillet was ordered medium rare, ribeye medium rare, what we got after a long wait was an absolute joke for me as a chef..Fillet and ribeye were both well done and inedible, after a complaint was made by annoyed staff, and after another wait of almost 30 minutes we received our steaks again..both rare and ice cold..my companion lost her appetite and her steak was complained about and not charged for..I simply ate mine..for A STEAKHOUSE that specializes in meat is absolutely embarrassing and the chef should be thrown out. There were no apologies, just cheeky looks and the sarcastic remark that we should cut our steaks directly to see if we like it this time... sorry, but that's real embarrassing for the standard you advertise

ABSOLUTE DISGRACE. We ordered a medium rare ribeye and a medium filet mignon. They brought us two steaks that were BEYOND well-done...we politely asked to send it back. Our waitress (female, brunette with blonde highlights) was extremely rude about it as if our request wasnt reasonable. They came back with our order. this time it was RAW. and i dont mean rare it was still cold in the middle. my boyfriend still ate his, but as I ordered a medium so seeing as it was nowhere near what I had wanted I said i didnt want it anymore. (my appetite was gone at this point even though I was really hungry when we got there) Waitress was passive aggressive eventhough we were still being nice about THEIR shortcomings. We shouldnt have been, in retrospect. I ended up not paying for mine but my boyfriend did and there was not even an apology. embarrassing, really.... serving customers and making steaks doesnt seem to be part of the skillset in this establishment. Ill go to the downtown blockhouse from now on.

We always enjoyed going to this restaurant during our stays in Frankfurt. Now never again! This service is beyond substandard, outrageous and at the end the waiter even threatened me. We ate well and after the plates were cleared, we sat alone at the table for an hour. No waiter, no coffee, no water, no dessert. Our wine bottle was empty and we would have liked to have another coffee. The restaurant was only 1/3 full, so almost empty. When we finally found a “waiter” to pay the bill and we asked him why we couldn’t order coffee and dessert, he became rude. So no tip (we never do that). When I went out I had my phone in my hand and he thought I had taken a photo of him. Threatened me and said he would call the police. I only took a selfie 😉 Conclusion: after many years there, despite the good food, NEVER GO TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN! Oh, we'll let the Block family know about it.

What a lovely Sunday treat I walked to here in Frankfurt. For my first time in the city, I went out walking around when the weather was nice and stumbled upon this place. They claim to have the best steaks since 1960 somethin. The steak itself was pretty good but the deserts & baked potato stole the show for me. The garlic bread and wine is also lowkey veryyy yummy! It has a nice outdoor seating area where you can enjoy the nice weather. If you go here, you must try desserts!

We've been there several times. We have always been super satisfied until we were there recently. The service was worse than it had been in a long time. They didn't listen at all, we got the wrong food and then the steak came with the wrong degree of doneness. Otherwise, as always, it was very tasty. Until next time, hopefully with better service :)

Top level! Well done. I will gladly come back again.

There is a very pleasant atmosphere in the Block House Westend. The staff is very friendly. You can dine here for lunch and dinner on business occasions.

Service was good, the rest can be given away. 2 class Pilsner, 2 small cokes, 1 bottle of water and 4 below average steaks for €187. You can expect a lot more for the money. At home we ate our fill of chips. This has nothing to do with West End prices. You probably have to save money on everything!

The taste of the food was okay, although the vegetables were unfortunately a bit overcooked. Ambience not really my taste. Outdated furniture and the slightly upscale cuisine (at least in terms of price) don't go together for me. Parking situation rather unfavorable.

We loved coming here to eat during our hour-long lunch break. Both the ambience and the lavish and daily changing lunch offerings with freshly put together salad from the buffet are positive. BUT: The service has neither respect nor decency. After we had finished our meal around 12:40 p.m., my colleague very politely asked one of the service staff (it's never obvious which lady is responsible for which table) if she could bring us the bills. After more than 10 minutes and still no one brought us the bills, we politely asked for them again. The waitress who walked past gave us an obviously annoyed look and preferred to loudly speak negatively about us to her colleague. After another 5 minutes, the lady finally came to our table in a rage and literally lectured us... "We should be patient".... We were all very embarrassed because other guests had already joined us looked. By the way, I can mention at this point that the restaurant was far from full at this point! Of course, none of us gave a tip, which is why the lady made a visibly angry face and turned away without saying “thank you” or “goodbye”. Impossible... None of us have ever been verbally attacked in a restaurant. We sincerely hope that our constructive criticism will be taken to heart and that this tone will have consequences! In any case, you have lost us as customers :(

Simply delicious every time. Every time!!!

The Rib-Eye Mastercut, 12 oz. was delicious!

Very nice restaurant, nice location, comfortable chairs and friendly service. Food was good too 👍

Tried again and again and always disappointed. System gastronomy that wants to be noble. Burger served carelessly and dry on a slice of bread, frozen fries, cole slaw side dish the size of a teaspoon. Sirloin steak mediocre. Same atmosphere for 20 years. But the worst was the waitress. Short, disinterested and constantly stressed, even though it wasn't full. Checking off guests quickly was probably the most important thing. Forgotten drinks, empty plates not cleared away, never asked if there were any more requests. An awkward “I’ll be right back” when we wanted to order something else. Unfortunately that never happened. The lady only took a lot of time when talking to men dining alone and was even able to smile. I had to get up and go to her because we were going to pay after trying to get her attention for 10 minutes. But she was talking and then smooched the guest. No attention to the guests and a zero-interest attitude. That was my last attempt. I can't understand the good reviews here because of the quality of the food alone. Bad and expensive.

It could be modernized again, otherwise it will fit well

One of my favorite places for a business lunch, where you can enjoy the high quality of the steaks with fried potatoes and fresh salad with Italian sauce. The service is good, the food is delicious and I love it. The interior is so beautiful

It's a wonderful steak restaurant that I come to for more than one meal every time I travel to Germany, and I have never encountered anything negative in any of them. The menu is simple and every alternative is delicious. It feels good inside with its warm atmosphere and regulars. Always good and fast service.

Usual quality. Tartare not available. Charm of Block House.

As always, simply the best, Blockhouse is and remains Blockhouse

Good LUNCH menu, unfortunately since the wave of inflation the prices have been adjusted upwards several times, but still a good selection in the Westend area.

A handful of family and friends recommended BlockHouse so I took the family there on my recent trip to Germany. As a party of 5, 4 had steaks and 1 had Salmon. I ordered the standard Filet Mignon dinner which came with a small dinner salad and baked potato. I also had a side of French Onion Soup. The soup was extremely salty. Hoping it was an anomaly, my salad was simple, with Iceberg lettuce and typical salad ingredients that had slight fennel flavor mixed in. The "American" dressing was good, also having a sweet fennel undertone. Baked potato was typical, fine. BUT, my Filet was Not Good. Yes, the "hero" on the plate was truly disappointing. I'm not sure it was a Filet as the grain of the meat was oddly sideways rather than up and down like typical Filet would be. I had to use a lot of effort just to cut my Med Rare cut. It was disappointing to say the least because I don't eat beef that often. So, to be let down by a Steakhouse was truly disappointing. Service was friendly and good but the servers could clearly see me fighting with my steak knife, just to "carve" pieces of meat to chew and chew I did. And no offer to make another steak was offered even though they could see the trouble I was having. Filets are classically tender. This was NOT a Filet Mignon and because of that, I cannot recommend this restaurant, even though my counterparts were mostly happy with their meals. Truth be told, if this happened in a nicer restaurant in the states, I would have been quickly offered a replacement steak and so it seems that in this case, German-run eateries would rather have me leave unhappy rather than throw a 5 dollar/euro replacement (their cost) on the grill to keep a happy customer for future visits. Overall this is a nice enough place to eat but I really wish I could have reported differently about MY experience. Go but be aware that if your good is not right, you will have to really speak up and hopefully get satisfaction...

Delicious and very nice atmosphere!

short medium is medium and not well done, this is where I expect the difference. Things look different in my pan at home, as does the price. The service was quick, attentive and friendly.

Yeah, it's ok. But I prefer to be outside in the summer

It is very crowded there in the evenings, so you should reserve a table. Otherwise the service and the ambience are very good. Food was served as requested. Parking situation is very bad there.

Unfortunately, the service really needed to be improved. At the beginning you were greeted immediately and an order was taken. But things got worse and worse towards the end. The main course was brought, but not even the starter plates were cleared away, even though waiters ran past several times. Unfortunately there was no permanent waiter. After the main course was over, it took longer until someone came and cleared away. I asked for the bill. No dessert or coffee was offered, I would have taken another. However, our child was well looked after and provided with painting supplies. It's a shame, given this price range and the standard of service, I would have expected more service.

It used to be better, the portions are smaller but the prices are higher... unfortunately my steak was only lukewarm... you can get better and cheaper elsewhere

Great experience! I recommend this place for the meat lovers 😉❤️

A place to call a favorite. Super cozy, delicious dishes and very attentive staff.

A very cozy place with proper steaks and good, but a bit slow service. However, if you’re not in a hurry, it’s definitely worth visiting.

Very tasty, nice atmosphere and our waiter Patrick was also super nice and attentive!

We got a place without pre-booking, but close to the kitchen. It was very restless and loud here. The food was great. We had really great Mrs. Rumpsteak. The waitresses tried very hard to take care of the guests. The neighboring table with kids also received pens and coloring sheets for the little ones.

Fantastic food and very attentive and friendly service. See you again soon!

Wer Steaks liebt ist hier genau richtig! Gute Fleischqualität, sehr aufmerksamer Service, kurze Wartezeiten, gut geeignet mit kleinen Kindern. Seit Corona ist es etwas teuer geworden, aber es lohnt sich immer noch. Geheim-Tipp: geht einmal dahin, wenn ihr Geburtstag habt und traut euch, es der Bedienung wissen zu lassen. Es gibt eine kleine Überraschung, die in Erinnerung bleibt!
