BLOCK HOUSE Wandsbek in Hamburg

Unfortunately, the price/performance ratio was very disappointing. The meat was good, but the side dishes were a disaster. Shriveled potatoes with a teaspoon of sour cream, served with a soggy salad. For that price, you can get much better food elsewhere and should expect more. But unfortunately, that's a general problem with Block House.

We spontaneously stopped by Blockhaus Wandsbek early in the evening on a weekday. After disappointing visits a long time ago, we wanted to give the restaurant another chance. The restaurant was only a third full. A friendly welcome, the menu came immediately, food and drinks were quickly ordered, and drinks and salads were served promptly. And then... waiting, waiting, and more waiting. All the new guests at other tables who arrived after us were already receiving their main courses. After more than half an hour, our main courses arrived, and three minutes later, as we walked by, I rhetorically asked if everything was okay. My shaking head with my mouth full went unnoticed. The meat was very good and served to the ordered degree of doneness. The pepper sauce, in my opinion, had far too much alcohol in it, and the seasonal vegetables were mushy and bland (I'm not sure if they were frozen or fresh). In the meantime, a request for more drinks? No response. At some point, the waitress came to clear the plates, again with the rhetorical question of whether everything was okay. I had asked if there was a problem in the kitchen, given how long we'd been waiting. She didn't answer; instead, she noted the vegetables she'd left lying around and asked why I hadn't called sooner. That sounds funny, because the waitress had barely even glanced at our table for a long time. I told her about her full mouth when she asked, and she offered me an espresso to make up for it. Thank you for that. The one espresso arrived, as did the dessert menu. Our request for the bill was apparently ignored by the waitress, and no one was even interested in whether we wanted dessert. Eventually, we were able to make ourselves known again and ask for the bill. The restaurant took almost 1.5 hours to serve the little we had. The other guests seemed to have better luck; we were very disappointed. If something doesn't work out or takes longer, it's not a problem. Leaving guests waiting for ages in a half-full restaurant without any information costs us revenue and tips. We would have liked more drinks or dessert, but we don't have three hours for that. Unfortunately, this restaurant visit was disappointing. Although this Block House is closer, we'll go to Bergedorf instead, as we've only had good experiences there so far.

The rustic decor of the Blockhaus branches is present here. The meat was perfectly prepared, but I found the side dish a bit too small. The waitresses were very friendly, although the server on duty changed constantly.

I've been coming here every now and then for decades. The food is very good, but in my opinion, the prices are now way too high. First, the potatoes got smaller and smaller, now the bread; the fries were also very limited. Now another price increase. I get more for less at other steakhouses with at least the same quality. The service, with its constant questions, bordered on nuisance. It's a shame.

Always good! Service is always friendly!

Really good food at a fair price and friendly service.

Everything was great – except for one unpleasant moment on Saturday around 4:30 p.m. An employee (she was blonde with red nails and worked in the middle of the kitchen) who generally did her job well, unfortunately behaved very inappropriately at the end. We only had a rounded-up amount of cash left, to which she simply replied with a less than professional smile: "Only xxx?!" We added our last change, and I would have loved to take it back. That was a very unprofessional moment that unfortunately tarnished the positive impression. This kind of behavior is unacceptable – especially when dealing with customers. How you treat us makes a big difference – and perhaps it will also encourage guests to tip more next time or pay by card instead.

The food is good, but now too expensive compared to other similar restaurants.

Good location and parking behind the building. We were a large group, and all dishes were brought to our tables promptly. There was also a good vegetarian selection.

It was perfect! What I especially love about the Block House is that they serve real baked potatoes. You eat them with the skin on; they're sooooo delicious. The meat was cooked to perfection and of the usual high quality 😎

The food is excellent, the staff attentive, and I can only recommend it, especially this Block House. I'll definitely be back when I visit my daughter ❣️

There were three of us there yesterday, May 13th, 2025, at 6 p.m. The food was almost as usual, the ribey was too marbled but it was okay but the rest was good, we sat outside and the floor and the windowsills were all dirty. My dog ​​didn't want to lie down, the floor was so dirty, really bad. We actually like coming here and will come more often. It would be great if we could sit outside without the floor being so dirty.

We were there with a group; enjoy your meal; Waiter: really in a good mood, didn't show any signs of the overtime he had to work because of us

Very nice service. The food, as usual at the Block House, was great.

Very tasty food, very friendly and courteous staff

It was delicious food, the service was quick and the foreign waiter was nice.

Disappointing! The service was extremely slow and our waitress seemed slightly unmotivated. We only got drinks shortly before dinner. We had been sitting there for a while. The portion of asparagus came with three mini potatoes (triplets). Unfortunately, the last piece of the steak was very fibrous and not edible. We told the service staff this when we asked. There was a “You should have said that sooner.” We neither expected nor wanted a new steak, but a “sorry” or an offer for a drink or dessert would have been appreciated. All in all very disappointing and especially for our son's birthday... Conclusion. We have always enjoyed visiting her house regularly for many years, but after this unpleasant experience we will refrain from doing so for the time being. With all due respect for the difficult situation of the shortage of skilled workers, I considered writing this review, but we are very concerned about the whole thing and, as long-time guests, are extremely disappointed.

I ate very well – the food was consistently delicious. I had a ribeye steak that was cooked to perfection. It took a while because it was busy, but it was definitely worth the wait. As a small compensation, the friendly waitress even gave us Block House pepper - a nice gesture! The salad was fresh, the French dressing was by far the best I've had so far. The garlic bread is a must here – crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, just perfect. The baked potato with sour cream was also a highlight – really creamy and super seasoned. Overall, a thoroughly successful visit. I'd love to come back!

Block House Wandsbek – Solid chain with room for improvement This fairly generously sized branch of the Block House chain is located directly on Wandsbeker Marktstrasse and offers the usual standard: solid steaks, classic side dishes, and a consistent menu. The quality of the dishes is decent at best - but it depends heavily on who is at the grill at the time. If everything fits, you will get a well-cooked steak at the desired doneness. Unfortunately, this is more the exception than the rule. Whether at peak times or when the restaurant is half empty, it often happens that the meat is not prepared as ordered - and especially in quiet times you have to wait a surprisingly long time, often 30 minutes or more. The ambience is fine – at least at the front of the window. Further back in the restaurant it quickly becomes dark and a bit crowded. The feeling of “sitting in the basement” is not uncommon. The outdoor area with around five tables is located directly on the busy market street - if you like a street atmosphere, you might find a place in the sun here. Conclusion: If you know what to expect, you will get a classic block house experience with occasional fluctuations in quality and service. OK for an uncomplicated steak – but nothing more.

As good as ever, always nice to spend an evening here, great food, nice service and yes, a little more expensive.

For years, BLOCK HOUSE Wandsbek has been our favorite spot to celebrate birthdays, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently delicious—especially their legendary steaks—and the staff is warm, friendly, and attentive. Whether it’s the cozy atmosphere or the reliably great service, every visit feels special. If you’re looking for a place where quality meets tradition, this is it. Highly recommended for any occasion (or just because you deserve a perfect steak!).

We ended up here quite by chance (because the Blockhouse on Jungfernstieg was completely overcrowded on Easter Saturday). As always at Blockhouse, the food and service were very good. Because the store was only at medium capacity, our food came super quickly. Price-performance at Blockhouse is still very good thanks to the all-inclusive steak prices. At other restaurants you are always asked to pay extra for side dishes and here steak and baked potatoes/fries are included in the price. The only drawback: the toilets have a bit of a train station charm, but that doesn't detract from the very good overall impression (at least for me). 😃👍🏻

Thanks for the friendly service but the shop is a bit old. Absolutely the best service in Hamburg..

Wir sind spontan ins Steakhaus gegangen. Das Fleisch war super, das Knoblauchbrot gut und der Salat frisch. Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Die Bewirtung war sehr freundlich und Kinderlieb.

Open on Mondays, we got a spot. Very good service and great food: the lamb was perfect. Gladly again! Visited in April 2025

Very good service, best steak quality

Service: Absolutely great! Thanks to Amir for saving our evening. There were four of us eating.

I spontaneously went to the Block House. The service was polite and courteous. The food was served quickly and exactly how I liked it. Salad was great and fresh! Meat was great. Overall a great visit.

Enjoy everything in peace and quiet. Ordering and serving takes time. The food first class. Waiters very polite and accommodating. Too clean. Unfortunately stairs but railings on both sides. You can hold on very well. The price of the food is reasonable. Thanks to the team

The food is five stars. It is a very nice place...

On March 23rd we celebrated this uncle's birthday in this restaurant. Everything was at the highest level! Delicious food, friendly staff and an unforgettable surprise for the birthday child. We were thrilled! In the future we will celebrate all birthdays right here. Thank you!

I've been a Blockhaus customer for many years, but what I experienced on Saturday evening, March 22, 2025, around 7 p.m. in Wandsbek was so outrageous that I will never set foot in that restaurant again. Thanks to a waitress (an older, corpulent Turkish woman with braids), the quality of the meat that evening was not good. My steak, which weighed just under 800 grams, was covered in tendons. After several attempts to eat it, I gave up after about halfway through and left it. The young manager was very friendly and accommodating. Thank you for that. Unfortunately, there was no table available with our regular waiter, Alban, whom we have come to appreciate over the years. All the best to you.

I love the 3 classics. Always a pleasure. Friendly service, relaxed atmosphere.

Nice steakhouse We spontaneously got a place for 2 people. The steak was very good, the service was extremely nice Price-performance ratio fits. When we are back in Hamburg we would like to come back. The only deduction is the ambience, it is very loud due to the large number of tables.

Small portions and expensive! Nice service

Perfect for small get togethers

Standard log cabin. The food is good, although not much. Our waitress was very personable and friendly to the children. However, the burgers are very special and not everyone likes them.

The food is typically Block House very good. Everything the steak eater likes. The selection is fine. Price performance is also okay. And the cooking point is hit. Definitely recommended.

Must visit once to experience different cuisines

The food is great. The service very good.

Food tastes super delicious. The service - friendly and attentive.

We were there at lunchtime, the restaurant was busy and we were served very well and quickly Very nice service

Great food, great staff, we always enjoy coming there.

Was delicious. Service was calm, friendly and attentive. Gladly again.

We were there spontaneously with 10 people and tables were quickly put together. The children immediately received painting supplies and a surprise along the way. The fact that we wanted to wait for one person wasn't a problem at all. The food came quickly, everything was cooked as ordered and very tasty. We had everything from turkey to burgers, steak, bruschetta, spinach and children's plates. All special requests were fulfilled. The toilet was very clean. Thanks to the team for the successful visit with you

Very fresh delicious food, block burger with baked potatoes prices were reasonable, little waiting time and friendly staff I was very satisfied.

The food is always good, the service is very friendly.

It's a nice place to have a dinner. Food was good quality. Serving relatively quick. Friendly staff

Top! !!! Gladly again at any time.

Wir waren dort zu zweit Essen. Das Restaurant war während der Woche abends erstaunlicherweise recht voll . Es gab kaum freie Plätze. Der Service war hervorragend und das Essen wurde schnell an den Tisch gebracht. Wir hatten ein T Bone Steak und ein Filet Steak . Die Steaks waren auf den Punkt gebraten. Wir waren sehr sehr zufrieden und für den guten Service gab es von uns ein gutes Trinkgeld.

For decades, always with the usual quality and in a familiar setting

Pre-ordering for a large group worked very well. Food for everyone at the same time and very nice staff

Been here recently. Delicious food. My sirloin steak was incredibly tasty. Service was very friendly. Gladly again 😊

Great food and friendly service! This is our new place for date nights!

Very tasty food! Also for “non-meat eaters”. Otherwise it's a relatively large store, where a loud crowd on the weekend isn't that noticeable :)

Food very good and the staff very friendly and accommodating. The waiting time from ordering to “food on the table” is also short.

The concept is as fast as possible. Little interaction and very impersonal. Food was okay in terms of price. But it's not really fun

Super Essen. Bedienung sehr, sehr nett und lustig. Leider war die Dame am Empfang total unfähig. Aber im allgemeinen ein schöner Abend.

Regular customer and always happy here. Unfortunately, there was no good time management between ordering, starters and main courses. After waiting for 2 hours, I unfortunately received a completely fried fillet. More staff urgently needed.

I have enjoyed eating well at the Bloch House for years, and it tastes delicious even in Santa Ponca. Merry Christmas 2024 🎄

The food is always good, but we felt a bit pressured because our table was supposed to be filled again as soon as we had finished eating.

Located directly at Wandsbek bus station. Parking spaces nearby are free for 2 hours, but are usually full. The food wasn't the highlight. The meat was good but the vegetable side dish was a bit tiny. The garlic bread was also small and not so crispy. The ambience is ok. Very loud when fully occupied.

Great service and nice service from Mr. Saheh Moussa😇

Not enough with chicken or turkey

We were there twice in the last few months - once for lunch, once in the evening. Both visits the service was super nice and quick. Great staff. The steak was always good quality and well grilled. You can't complain about that. Thanks to the team.

Solid Block House Restaurant, can't complain.

High-quality ingredients lovingly presented aesthetically with very well-balanced spices

Always tasty and very good quality meat...the service is attentive and friendly.

Our Hotel Ibis Alsterring was within walking distance of the restaurant. Very nice service and delicious food. We'd be happy to come back next time we visit Hamburg.

Caesar salad and fries at the lowest level for a lot of money! Absolutely not recommended! The fries tasted like they had been fried in rancid fat. And the salad was a complete disgrace! Drowning in sauce and the parmesan had to be searched for, not to mention the wobbly croutons. All the 5 star reviews are a mystery to me and suggest that they are fake.

The food always tastes good and the prices for lunch are affordable.

Never again. A New York cheeseburger looks like a waste of leftovers and the Caesar salad isn't even snack level. I'm just shocked at what you get for so much money.

The food was top as always. Not above average/exceptional, but still at a consistently high and good level... just like you know from Blockhouse! The service was really very good and very accommodating. Despite various special requests, everything was supported and done to our complete satisfaction. Thank you for a lovely evening!

For 45 years, always very tasty and good for me!!! And yes, I regularly went to eat there with my parents as a teenager. 😁

Reliably good. I've been here several times and it's always been great. The staff is on the ball and I have never experienced anyone being unfriendly there. The food is always good. I recommend making a reservation. Update 09_2024: Consistently great quality of food. Service was simply great again today. I think it's reasonable value for money, even if it's a little squeaky in my wallet when I have a really great steak.

The steaks are simply the best here!

Very tasty, the staff very friendly Always my pleasure

Extremely friendly service and delicious cheap food!

It was loud and crowded in this long-established branch. But everything came very timely and exactly as expected, the cooking level was perfectly met. Service friendly and extremely efficient despite high occupancy and difficult acoustics. Good offshoot of the chain, you can do it if you feel like it.

We had a lovely Christmas party. Despite the large group, the service was good and requests were taken into account. Nice staff, delicious food.

Very nice and attentive service. Turkey steak very reduced in size, otherwise OK.

We went to the Blockhouse for a birthday party and, as always, the food and service were great. Unfortunately we sat in a separate room that was a bit too functional for me, it could certainly be a bit more comfortable. Everything else was great.

As always in the Block House, Top steak quality, delicious salad, friendly and attentive service. Not quite cheap but worth the price! 👍 Unfortunately the Belgian waffle was absolutely disappointing

Great food, the shop is a bit old

Super nice service, very attentive and hardworking! Ambiance is rustic and rather busy to uncomfortable due to the huge room. Food was the usual Blockhouse quality, it fit and was delicious 😋.

The staff is attentive, the food is delicious. You can quickly get a table for two without a reservation.

Price performance Very expensive rather. Unfortunately I had the classic burger only a patti without a burger, which is somehow extremely weak if you say it on the menu. Burger Patti with fries which I chose €15. It's steep without a burger... And you're hungry afterwards too. As a bonus, the starter salad doesn't cost €3 like everyone else's. NO over 5€!!! If you want to be brazenly ripped off, you've come to the right place! I will never enter this store again! NO MORE!!! Tip: Get your own ingredients and cost €6-8 (for the amount that was available in the restaurant!) maximum and make yourself comfortable on the sofa or whatever. And you can eat at home until you're full.

Classic block house. Hanseatic, so no frills but a down-to-earth menu at a high level. I like the new map. Classics like my all-time favorite, the fitness pan, are still there while new vegetarian dishes have been added. Mr. and Mrs. Rumpsteak have become cheaper, but also have smaller pieces of meat on the plate. There is a pubt deduction solely for the volume. It was very crowded on Sunday evening. Plus points for the service. Very accommodating, friendly and helpful. Gladly again :-)

A bit crowded and noisy but very friendly service and tasty, as always at Block

Very friendly service, great food. The salad with the steak is super fresh, the steak itself is awesome. Very good meat, grilled to perfection.

A very nice shop, you are looked after very well, you ask if everything is clear, you are involved in every nook and cranny, for example when you fill up drinks (glasses) when they are handed out. The service is very friendly and the ambience is very nice, very calming. And the food is amazing. Delicious Top overall impression

As always everything is fine. Food, service and ambience. Gladly again. See you next time.

Very nice block house with friendly service. Our first choice if you want something to eat after shopping in Wandsbek. The service is great and very friendly and helpful. —- A constructive criticism that applies to most German restaurants. We eat here almost every week and not for a small amount of money, sometimes as a group of two, sometimes as a group of four. If you then order a Helbing or another nightcap, why is it filled exactly to the limit? The bottle is already paid for with one round! At Greek, Italian and Chinese you can even get a nightcap for free. I find that really sad/stingy.

Attentive During my last visit, I particularly noticed how attentive the service staff was. Apparently we looked at it when we wanted drinks. As soon as we thought about it, we were asked if we wanted something. Of course, any special requests were taken into account and our wishes were also implemented. All the service staff we came into contact with were really very friendly. Not to forget that the food was really delicious and makes you want to visit again soon.

French fries weren't crispy. Meat well grilled

Successful evening!! Went to dinner at the Block House in a small group on the way. The service staff is friendly and very attentive. We had three different dishes (rib eye Mastercut, American tenderloin and the skipping steak) all dishes were fried to perfection and tasted great terrific. Should we visit Hamburg again? This would be a place we would visit again.

Always good, always delicious. Service very good as usual. Feel free to take advantage of 'lunchtime'. Today we had cod with spinach and potato gratin. First, a small salad.

BLOCK HOUSE Wandsbek is a reliable choice for steak lovers, consistent with the quality the chain is known for. The steaks are cooked to perfection, and the service is efficient. You know exactly what you're getting—a hearty meal with familiar flavors. The ambiance is casual yet inviting, ideal for both family dinners and casual outings. Their signature baked potato and garlic bread sides complement the mains perfectly. While it's not a gourmet experience, it delivers great value for money and a satisfying steakhouse experience every time.

Unfortunately, loveless. The sirloin steak was good, but just under €19 for a mini piece with sticky fries and nothing else (okay a piece of garlic bread) is really bad. No side salad or at least a cucumber or tomato slice would have made it a little more attractive. My friend's HackBurger wasn't good either. Definitely not a bio hack. That's it for us with the blockhouse. Too bad

This time the food was very, very salty. Waiter very child-friendly and pays attention to parents. If we don't want toys or sweets, the parents don't spend much time persuading us. Class. Really good. Ambiance is a bit rustic, outdated but overall, despite good and bad days, it's worth it.
