BLOCK HOUSE Othmarschen in Hamburg

We were there with the family. I find the store overall too loud, you can constantly hear the clinking of glasses and many of the other guests. The service was moderately attentive and friendly but quite quick. The food is ok, I would call it “upscale” system catering. The burgers are special, a patty is served on a piece of toasted bread. In our case the burgers were quite dry. I don't think the prices for the food are completely justified, a lot of money is spent on “the brand”. I wouldn't visit Block House on my own, we were invited. There are much better steak houses in Hamburg. Since there was a reservation, there was no waiting time.

Very friendly staff, especially Mr. Erdenz Orkan. He served us friendly and quickly and made good offers, so that in the end we all received very good steaks without a long wait. Great👍🏻

Great service, great food. Our waiter, Erdenz, is simply great: great mix of entertainment and sensitivity. ...and what it's all about, the food, is undoubtedly first class!

Delicious food in the garden under the chestnut trees and then a walk along the Elbe

A great option for lunch. Inexpensive offer and top service. Mr. Erdem in particular always served us very nicely.

I ordered a 250 gram ribeye steak, with potatoes and salad. Of course there was also red garlic. The meat was grilled the way I like it. For dessert there was Affogato, espresso, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cream topping, highly recommended. However, considering the price, it's not a bargain! 6 euros, but very tasty!!

Friendly service... delicious food... nice outdoor area... you can go back again and again

Block House in Hamburg is simply the best.

The food on site was very good. We chose 3 different dishes. 1 x filet mignon 1 x American tenderloin 1 x Rib Eye Mastercut We also ordered two desserts. These dishes are classified as higher in price. Unfortunately I have to criticize the salads. A salad would be consumed on site. In contrast to the salads we are familiar with in other Blockhouse restaurants, this was very poorly prepared. It consisted of lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. There were quite a few other salad components missing. We opened the other two salads at home and were equally disappointed. The packaging was only half full. Here again the only contents are leaf lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. It's better not to skimp on salad prices when it comes to prices. The parking options in Othmarschen are still unreasonable. Of course the restaurant can't do anything about that. As a Hamburg resident who lives in Ahrensburg, I'll mention it anyway. I've criticized the atmosphere before. The style of the furnishings is simply getting old. In addition, in Othmarschen you sit very close to someone you don't know at the table next to you. This can be very unpleasant. You really understand every word. With Volksdorf, Poppenbüttel and Ahrensburg, I was able to experience more spacious spaces with more privacy. That's why I tend to go to other Blockhouse restaurants in everyday life. However, we celebrate at least 1 or 2 birthdays on site. Therefore we will probably visit the Blockhouse Othmarschen again. We therefore hope for improvement. Best regards

I had dinner with my family on a Saturday. We had actually reserved a table for later, but then got a table earlier at short notice without any problems. The staff is very friendly! The food was not only ready very quickly, but also tasted really good. The teriyaki pepper cream sauce is very tasty.

I ate fillet steak here, it was cooked perfectly, service was a bit annoyed because we arrived late to eat and were asked to wait until a table was set up.

If you like great steaks and burgers, this is the place for you.

Very friendly service, warm and professional. Gladly again at any time, thank you!

They are “placed”. The unfriendly “boss” should be replaced. He showed that he did not understand the principle of kindness.

Good quality at affordable prices Gladly again

Very tasty, Block House. Unfortunately the service here cannot be compared to Winterhude. Still nice here.

Honest, good and classic! It's best to reserve in advance - always full, good sign!

A beautiful place to have a cozy meal, And everything always tastes very good 👍

Very tasty, always worth a visit

An institute for the Otmarschen people.

About the food - the name says it all - good quality, fried to perfection and everything is super quick! The service is reliable, friendly and quick. The ambience is rustic, but the background noise is quite loud.

I stayed at the Block House Othmarschen and had an overall positive impression. The restaurant offers a rustic, quaint atmosphere that fits perfectly with the steakhouse style. I can particularly recommend the rump steak – cooked to perfection and of excellent quality! The service was super friendly and attentive, which made the visit even more pleasant. The price-performance ratio is absolutely reasonable for a steakhouse. If you want to enjoy a good steak in a cozy atmosphere, this is the right place for you. Clear recommendation!

Moin Folks, Ich persönlich bin immer wieder über die freundliche Art sämtlicher Service-Kräfte sehr begeistert 🤩 Wir haben heute einen Tisch fernmündlich reserviert und sehr sympathisch am Ohr die Person, wir natürlich sehr pünktlich am Abend und lückenlos pure Freundlichkeit und gute Aufmerksamkeit wie es eben von oben vorgelebt wird👏👏👏👏👏👏 Herr Eugen Block hat es geschafft mit seiner Fleisch-Kette das atemberaubende Stück Fleisch in jeglicher Art und Weise, Form in einer charmanten Art zu servieren das Mensch sich wie am heimischen Herd wohl fühlt, einzigartig und Trompetengalaktisch 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Er versteht es mit seinem Team seine Gäste einzufangen und ihnen etwas zu geben was andere nicht schaffen umzusetzen, geiles und unerschütterliches Vertrauen eben, das nachhaltig über Jahrzehnte nachhaltig gelebt wird😘. Block House ist ein sicherer Fleisch-Gourmet-Tempel der seinesgleichen sucht und süchtig macht🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Where else can you get better steaks than at the Blockhaus? Always come back when it comes to steaks

The lunch menu was of poor quality. The sirloin medallions were tough minute steaks, the mushrooms in the cream were a complete mush. Unfortunately the supplements were not exchangeable. After 40 years of regulars at the Block House, unfortunately that was it.

Great restaurant, very nice service, very good food, if the restaurant is busy, which is usually the case, it can be louder in the restaurant. You should reserve a table for Friday and Saturday evenings.

Also, das Essen ist prima. Steak genau auf den Punkt gebraten, leckere Pommes, guter Salat. Die Bedienung war freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend, aber die Belegschaft als solches war viel zu laut. Ich möchte beim Essen keine zugerufenen Privatgespräche hören. Und obwohl draußen am Gebäude eine Rampe für Gehbehinderte ist muß man mühsam eine sehr steile und gewundene Treppe runter für die Toilette. Auf die Nachfrage, wieso es keine Behindertentoilette gibt, kam (vom Chef!) die lapidare Antwort, "Gehen sie doch die Straße rauf zu Jim Block. Wir haben eine Absprache mit denen." Welchen Teil von "GEHBEHINDERT" haben Sie nicht verstanden???

I eat a vegetarian diet and was pleasantly surprised by the great selection at Block House Othmarschen. I was particularly impressed by the César salad, which was not only fresh and crunchy, but also had a convincing taste. There was also a perfectly baked baked potato with sour cream and of course the legendary garlic bread, which is simply unbeatable! The atmosphere is cozy, the service is very attentive and friendly. I always enjoy coming here and can only recommend it to everyone – whether meat eaters or vegetarians!

Okay, it's a steakhouse - but why did you take the fantastic veggie burger off the menu without necessity?!? 2 stars deduction is unfortunately unavoidable due to this incomprehensible change.

Delicious food and friendly staff who always open their doors to us even if we don't have a reservation.

The food and service were great! We had a great meal in a nice atmosphere. We'd love to come back.

Uncomplicated and good - a safe bet for a delicious meal!

Block House is simply outstanding in every way!

Always great food and fast friendly service

Yes, everything was very clean, nice staff

Still one of the best Block House branches, the waiters have been there for a long time and are mostly quick and friendly. My impression is that after Corona the meat quality has deteriorated somewhat, coupled with prices that have been significantly increased, the pain threshold has been reached. The classic starter salad (lettuce, bell pepper, tomato, red onion) has recently been made worse with additional "things", e.g. pumpkin seeds. However, you can tell the service that you want the salad classic / like before. Reservations during peak times are recommended and can be easily made by telephone. The highlight for me is always when it's someone's birthday and "Happy Birthday" sounds over the loudspeaker throughout the restaurant and a spray fountain is brought to the table. --- Update January 22nd: Last night the service in the area at the very back left (the lady) wasn't right at all, service was slow, unfriendly, it didn't clear up for ages, and then almost went crazy when paying without a tip. Where does the expectation come from that substandard service will also reward you with a tip? The lady should review her job choice, especially if she doesn't care about customer service; or is someone forcing you to work at BLOCK HOUSE? Service reduced to **. The baked potato was also old; the lava cake was cold and the herbal tea we ordered initially came as black tea; The male colleague in the back left area then kindly corrected that.

Although we visited the restaurant spontaneously and without a reservation with 8 people on Saturday evening, it was immediately made possible for us to get a large shared table. The service was very friendly and attentive. The steaks were very tasty and of very good quality. The vegetarian dish was also very good. The food was served quickly and the portions filled everyone. If we are in the area again we would like to come back.

Always very tasty and good service

Always good, very nice staff If I remember correctly, Karina Mentel served us. 20 I hope it's correct, in any case she was very attentive and careful The food was excellent as always, we have been coming to the Block House for many years and always enjoy it If you go out to eat, go to Block Keep it up 👍

The food, the service, everything was fantastic. Our waiter, Ms. Bahar Özcan, even recommended some price-performance advantages to us by cleverly combining the lunch menu and the main menu - including salad instead of soup, etc. - and all at no extra charge - isn't that great? Congratulations, Ms. Özcan!

Today we were at the Block House in Othmarschen with 8 people to celebrate a birthday and I just have to get this out of my head: Our waiter Erdem made the evening unforgettable :) From the beginning he was so warm, funny and attentive that we We immediately felt at home. He simply had the perfect mix of relaxedness and professionalism, exactly what you want. The food was of course great (as always at the Block House), but the service really made the evening special. Thank you for your good mood and for taking such good care of us. We'll be back - and hope you'll join us again!

It was very nice there, the food was delicious, the service was very nice and attentive. Do you want more?

Thank you for the delicious food and great service

One star for the friendly and great service. Otherwise: The food was pre-prepared and came immediately, the steak was ok (but not the medium rare one I ordered), the baked potatoes had been in the oven for a long time and were completely dry, a tiny bit of cole slaw salad, and the ambience was somehow left in the 80s .

Great service from Mr. Orkan Erdem

Unfortunately the food was cold and the portion was very small. waitress was very nice. unfortunately very narrow

It was too warm, no fresh air supply. The food was delicious and plentiful. The staff friendly.

A nice Sunday, everything is fine, I was very happy that I was there ; )

I go here several times a month. I always look forward to that.😁

I had a wonderful evening with my husband. The food was perfect for me and I enjoyed it very much. Our service man Mr. Valente was simply great. Good gaps between meals, he wasn't there too often but certainly often enough. Always friendly and super understanding and friendly when you have questions or changes. Thank you very much, I'll always come back.

Summer time is very good at the garden

The only star I have to deduct is for the service. However, only because I had the impression that the restaurant simply didn't have enough staff for all the guests. The staff that was there tore themselves up and ran as fast as their feet could carry them. All in all a very successful evening. Definitely happy to come back.

Mediocre service, meat was cooked to the wrong degree, the dressing for the salad was wrong - no refills were given or you were asked if you would like something else to drink. All in all, not a nice stay.

Nice evening at the Block House. It was very busy. Nevertheless, waiters are never stressed and there are no long waiting times. Food very tasty and of top quality

Moin Folks, hier ist täglich das Block House sehr gut besucht, warum, die freundliche Ansprache, wie Herzlich Willkommen, schön das Sie hier sind, was darf ich für Sie tun, u.a., nun der Begrüßende Herr ist schon sehr Einzigartig und authentisch. Der Service ist schon sensationell und heute noch einmal etwas flotter, die Getränke angemeldet, zwei…, drei…., vier Wimpernschläge und schon waren unsere Getränke am Tisch. Es geht flott weiter, Ketchup, Mayonnaise, Steak Sauce und schon werden die Vorspeisen serviert, einfach geilogalaktisch. Wir sind gerne hier, Wertschätzend auf hohen Niveau und das macht nachhaltig gute Wiederholungslaune👏👏👏👏👏👏

As with Blockhaus in general, the staff is friendly and attentive. The food is good as always.

We were in the restaurant around 5 p.m. free choice of tables, very good service, so around 6 p.m. the place suddenly gets full but the staff manages to ensure that everyone who registers in advance or who doesn't register gets a nice seat

Old fashioned, smaller dishes, but still good as it was 25 years ago.

A nice steakhouse, but unfortunately the quality of the meat has deteriorated over the years...

Simply delicious. 14€ for a sirloin steak with bread and fries. Great price-performance ratio

Very tasty, grilled steak eaten. The potato was also tasty. We were served here by very friendly staff... So we felt very comfortable here. Thank you for the great stay at this steakhouse. 😋

Safe bet for delicious food and great service. Update 2024: we are always amazed at the service staff, which has remained consistent (and very good) over the years. Hats off! And we haven't just been guests for a year :)

Very pleasant atmosphere, perfectly grilled meat and super friendly service.

The food always comes quickly and delicious! The service is very friendly and very attentive!

Solid steakhouse with good food and great, fast service for larger numbers of people The goose was convincing across the board, clear recommendation. The meat was tender and juicy and literally fell off the bone and the skin was crispy. The T-bone steak was medium rare on the inside as ordered, but unfortunately it had no crust at all on the outside, so I would say that it wasn't worth the price in terms of taste. If it had been properly fried on the outside, that would also get a recommendation from me. The New York Cheeseburger is different than expected. The burger bun is served on Block House bread and not a classic burger bun. There is also no burger bun on top. A solid burger in terms of taste. The stir-fried vegetables were fresh and crunchy and I would recommend them. And when it came to desserts, I would have thought that the apple strudel would be the best because I'm an absolute fan of all apple desserts - and it was also great with the vanilla ice cream and vanilla sauce, but actually the Belgian waffle convinced us even more . With the perfectly crispy outer layer and the fluffy inner core, it was perfectly complemented by the fruity compote. The lava cake was ok, but it didn't go well with the sauce and unfortunately the cream couldn't save it either. Overall, a clear recommendation for the Block House, especially for the great and fast service and the solid food, which was served for 8 people at the same time and our waiter approached us attentively and proactively when we needed him

See photo with personal letter from Mr. Eugen Block on each table! WE DON'T WANT TO INCREASE THE PRICES - good. BUT WE WILL REDUCE SOME MEAT SIZES (>10%) = not good at all. Good upbringing forbids more comment, but that's audacious!

Everything as always, good and friendly.

Expensive, but the steaks are really first class! The ambience is typically Block House simple, the selection isn't too big! There are also vegetarian dishes, well, you have to expect vegetarian eaters in every round!

Surprisingly busy for a Saturday afternoon.

A bit loud, otherwise really good! Delicious and very friendly!

Customer for decades. Now I was brought a menu with red wasp between fries. I almost puked. Food was exchanged after being tipped off. Whatever else, you can't eat a menu with a wasp. Then there was a call from the area manager with a small apology. Would have expected more. It's sad...

What was kindly clarified by the department manager over the phone? Now expect me to thank you for bringing me a clean meal after previously giving me a meal that had a dead wasp on it. I had to pull myself together not to puke in front of all the customers in this restaurant. This is a commitment to bring me clean food. A few days ago I was eating at Blockhouse in Eidelstedt. Then an employee came and said I had to get up because the place was reserved, but there was no card on the table. As an excuse, there were two cafes. That's nice.

Every time we cross the Hamburg tunnel, I plan to treat myself to a rump steak right there in Othmarschen. NB - At home the green and red steak peppers in large containers are a consolation that the nearest block house in Ddorf is 80km away.

Expectations fully met. Fillets to the point, potato gratin great. Very nice and attentive service. Short waiting time. Gladly again at any time.

Everything OK and delicious! No parking space 😬

Dear Block House team, I would like to share my experience on my last visit to your restaurant. I have noticed that the quality of the food has significantly deteriorated. Although the food is still good, it is no longer up to the standard I experienced 30 or 40 years ago when I first ate at Block House. I recently went to Block House Othmarschen with my wife. It took almost 15 minutes for a manager to attend to us and offer us a table for two. Luckily we finally got a table. The waitress who served us was friendly, but there is a dire need for improvement in the ambience and furnishings. The current furnishings appear old-fashioned and uninviting. These antiquated elements significantly reduce the overall result. I strongly believe that the Block House would benefit from a modern, contemporary design. A fresh ambience could significantly improve the overall dining experience and encourage guests to return more often. I hope my comments are helpful and can help make the Block House a fun place to spend time again.

The T-bone steak was okay so far, but the baked potato was very unevenly cooked for both me and my companion, sometimes just barely, which my companion had noticed weeks before. We complained about it later on the grounds that we obviously didn't want to throw away edible food when we were told that we should have mentioned it earlier so we could get a new one. If the problem is systemic, it doesn't make sense to throw away 20 more potatoes. It would have been professional to offer us a coffee or something similar on the house or to deduct part of the bill from the potatoes. We continued to be calm and polite and then wanted to pay. I looked at the clock and waited for over 15 minutes until the lady came near the table again before she walked past us a few times. When I pointed out that I got up because we had been waiting for 15 minutes, the only answer I got was that she was sorry because she had been outside. It's unacceptable that you have to wait so long to pay your bill. For the prices that have already increased again, I expect better quality overall.

Very well eaten, super friendly and fast service. This log house is recommended!

As always, a wonderful dining experience. Here you always and reliably get the very best quality. Nowhere else can you find steaks of the quality and with such excellent taste as in the Block House. We regularly choose the filet mignon. You always get grilled the way you want and order it. Always exactly to the point. Simply delicious and something very special. The baked potato is always fantastic for me. So wonderfully crumbly and aromatic (I've never had that anywhere else) and in combination with the house sour cream, a culinary highlight. Equally out of reach is the Block House bread. Everything is simply “round” here. Yesterday we celebrated my birthday there. When I'm in Hamburg, I'm always happy to go to the Block House (to my chagrin, there isn't one in my city), but as a native of Hamburg, I still come here often. I highly recommend a visit to the Block House. Here you can always rely on quality, service and comfort.

Super tasty food, price/performance TOP - service (woman with short gray hair) unfortunately unfriendly and unmotivated, really spoiled our evening!

Great service, especially from Mr. Erdem! Erdem for president!!

Sempre uguale cibo fresco e saporito. Ambiente accogliente. Nota negativa troppo rumoroso. Un solo piatto di pesce. Solo rcarne di manzo. La zuppa di cipolla saporita. Insalate buona varietà. Condimenti scarsi,

Hello, come here regularly to eat, be it for lunch or dinner. And the food was always really tasty and if something wasn't right, it was swapped without any ifs or buts, which is not a given, we've had a completely different experience elsewhere. The employees are very friendly and accommodating, I especially have to mention Fitim, the good man knows his craft. Whenever we come we are warmly welcomed. Big thanks for that. We've been coming here to eat for a long time, with and without friends, and it's always a great experience.

Blockhouse as you know it. All dishes of the usual quality. I have experienced more attentive service in other Blockhouse restaurants. But overall recommended.

UPDATE: we were there again after football, on August 31st, 2024. As always, it's full, but that doesn't detract from the service or quality. So there's nothing to complain about here. Everything was full and we had to wait for a free table. The service is simply sensationally friendly. Perfect evening after a great day. Thank you for everything. Oh yes, do you have children? Then you have come to the right place. Coloring book, crayons, everything for the little ones.

Best steaks, delicious food, top service. Nice terrace to sit outside! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Once a year I probably got a piece of meat from an older animal and the piece was damn shaggy, so the quality of the meat at my Edeka around the corner is way better... the service was attentive but friendly is different unfortunately we were always happy to be there!!!

Our family restaurant and the best location in Hamburg. Everything is great. Always happy to come back. The only small drawback is that unfortunately they can't keep up with the taste of the vegetarian dishes. Please also put the vegetarian block burgers from the supermarket on the menu. (For my girlfriend ;)

I can tell you why only one star... Ordered meat well done, it came medium rare. On the second attempt, there was a long blonde hair on my steak... On the third try the meat came back medium rare.

Actually a great block house. The service is friendly and attentive and the food is delicious. Unfortunately it is quite loud outside when the ambulances drive past with their sirens on.

The food was good as always. My steak was cooked to perfection. No reason to complain. Staff attentive and very nice. Always my pleasure!

Very good steaks, great atmosphere and friendly service in the restaurant.

Highly recommended, always good and perfect

In short, a solid Block House branch. The quality and taste are always great in every branch, but not outstanding, hence no 5 stars. Staff always friendly and competent. The ambience is clean and well-kept everywhere, as well as cozy, but a little stuck in time. It's not cheap by any means, but it's fair! Especially when you consider that it is their meat from the rearing, to the slaughtering, to the guest. Dogs are allowed!!! Feel free to follow me on Insta Marc.wolfgang

We celebrated our son's birthday there yesterday, July 30th. Everything was super great. It was a dinner with many great surprises. We would like to thank you very much again. Biermann family

Great food, great service, super nice! Gladly again and again!

You must make a reservation if you go during peak hours or want a table outside on a good day. They have a children's menu that includes individual items and painting pencils, as well as well-priced options. The salads are also delicious. What fails is the meat (which claims to be its specialty). It's not very tasty, nor do they cook it that well. And the very high prices.

The side dishes are far too small. You won't get tired of it 🤷‍♀️ and the ambience has been the same for 50 years.

We were there for dinner today. Nice reception, attentive but not intrusive service. The food is always a BANK, you know what you're getting!🫶 The tartare was fresh, the rump steak was juicy and grilled to medium rare. Ice cream and hot rounded off the enjoyment. We always enjoy coming here - see you soon👍

Everything happened as quickly as at the train station!
