Diekster Köken in Norden

Very good food, very friendly and nice

Unfortunately the food was rather poor average. The fried potatoes were partly raw and the fish looked like it had been heated in the microwave.

There were four of us there, two of the meals were good, the others were not.

I recommend! nice and professional service. Everything is great❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We ate very well and the service was also fine.

Our food was simple and good. Plates are carelessly arranged, like in a bad snack bar. Service friendly

Service was friendly. Drinks were OK. Ice cream and waffles were okay too. Unfortunately, the outside terrace is a bit old.

Very tasty and a decent portion. Good pollack and redfish. The staff was very nice and the price of the food was perfectly reasonable. We would definitely come back 👌

We stopped here to enjoy coffee and cake. The restaurant is located right next to the sea behind the hill. The lady with the glasses is probably the service manager, but she didn't seem very friendly to us. The man who served us was very nice. The espresso was ok, as was the capuccino. The cheesecake with egg white foam was nothing special. The foam is delicious if you can make it. In this case a bit unnecessary. The pieces are very large, but nothing special in taste. All in all we wouldn't come back again. Maybe it's better to go to a café a little outside

We went to eat in this restaurant with guests. For me it was purely a tourist restaurant. Three of us ordered Labskaus, which turned out to be an absolute disaster. The Labskaus turned out to be tasteless mashed potatoes mixed with beetroot juice. No beef, beetroot only 3.5 slices, the simple matjes according to the Emdener Matjes website had almost no taste, just like the cucumber. The fried egg looked good, that was the only good thing. The plaice Finkenwerder style, well.

Unfortunately, the food was only lukewarm and very carelessly prepared. With the exception of the waitress taking the order, the staff was not friendly.

The food itself was reasonably good. The fried potatoes actually tasted good, but there was still a lot of fat on them which wasn't so nice. The mushrooms from my friend's Jägerschnitzel were not quite hot and still had a lot of fat on them, but there was no real sauce, the mushrooms were just on the schnitzel. The schnitzel was good to eat but there was also a lot of fat in it. The only thing that tasted good was the meatloaf with fried egg. We had imagined something different. We were very disappointed.😔

We have lunch here. The service is great. The employees are super friendly and accommodating Location right in front of the dike. The food was really very good. We would come back again and again

We ate here on Friday and I had to let the experience sink in. I recommended this restaurant because I had a good meal here 1.5 years ago. That's why our friends followed my recommendation. I really embarrassed myself and would like to share my experience here. We were so cold that I put my jacket back on right at the start. Nevertheless, it was uncomfortably cold as it spread over my thighs. The food was mediocre, the portions too small. The potatoes were not fully cooked. The carrot shavings were totally dried out, probably older. The meat is partly dry. The dishes lukewarm. The kale was a bright spot, very tasty, hence the 2 stars. I had the impression that dessert should be ordered, hence the small portions. Since we were so cold, we left immediately after eating. Price performance didn't fit at all. At the table next to us we heard that another guest was complaining that the portion had "shrunk". Conclusion: The next day we invited our friends to the Greek "Crete" in the north and made up with it. Maybe we'll give the "Diekster Köken" another chance, but only on its own.

After my wife was so excited about a visit last year, we went there again as a family last night and were pretty disappointed. To anticipate something good; the kale was fantastic, the service was extremely nice and friendly. The fact that she wore a fleece jacket at work showed us that we weren't the only ones who would have been happy about a higher room temperature. During the relatively short wait for the food we ordered, we put our jackets back on, which meant we were by no means the only guests in the restaurant. When the food came, at least three of us were quite shocked. It is understandable that the catering industry generally had to raise prices due to cost pressure. In addition to the increased prices, there was also a significant reduction in portion sizes. Our daughter and son-in-law were not even remotely full of their fish dishes. What was even worse was that the preparation of the meals left a lot to be desired. The boiled potatoes on all the plates were still half raw. However, like my fried potatoes, they were already cold when they arrived at the table. As a garnish, there were grated carrots on all the plates, which had certainly been made some time ago. The things were unsightly and dry. While the Kassler on my "kale platter" was still relatively tasty, the Mettwurst and the bacon were cold, and the bacon was also dry. We would have liked to have dessert, but we decided against it - especially considering the room temperature. Of course, we answered the waitress politely but honestly when she asked whether we were satisfied. As we were leaving, we heard guests at another table in the room expressing their dissatisfaction with the same tenor. It's a shame, the restaurant actually has a good reputation - including in the Norddeichkaueren Facebook group. At least last night, this was definitely not justified.

Well, the fries and fried potatoes were still almost raw. The currywurst was warmed up and lukewarm. The cordon bleu was still raw on the inside, although we were given a new one after a comment. As a salad bouquet there were grated carrots on each plate, which were very dried out. The service was ok, friendly but rather disinterested with a cell phone behind the counter. From us a clear “no” to the recommendation.

It was very nice and delicious 😋 😋 😋 😋

The food was delicious, the waitresses were friendly, we were allowed into the restaurant with two dogs and didn't have to wait long for the food. The restaurant is right on the dike, overall it was a great stay with friends.

Very tasty food, good prices, very friendly service. We'd love to come back.

Super delicious cake and waffles and latte. Great staff. Gladly again. Short trip to Norddeich.

We were served very nicely. The fish platter was very tasty. Dogs are also welcome there.

Cute little café where you can simply warm up with delicious cakes and tea after a walk on the beach in winter.

Except that it's pretty tight inside the restaurant, always great, even with our 2 dogs

Large selection, there is something for everyone! The service was attentive and friendly. The food was tasty, well seasoned and plentiful.

Super delicious food 😋 Service was super friendly, clear recommendation 👍

We are completely disappointed. It was super cold. I had a turkey cordon blue. It was a frozen piece of meat and came out of the deep fryer. Plus fries. I paid 22.80 for it. Outrageous, not recommended. It was clear to the waitress that she would rather be at home. Too bad and incomprehensible.

Unfriendly service. I ordered cheeseburgers and fried potatoes. The food came quickly and you could tell straight away that it wasn't a freshly made burger, it looked like it came from Aldi and the burger bun was hard, the sauce wasn't tasty either, it was just a finished product. The fried potatoes could have been in the pan a little longer. In addition, at this time you could perhaps turn on the heating, it was very cold there, so we wanted to get home quickly

We had a nice dinner there. What was served was delicious and left nothing to be desired. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Gladly again.

Unfortunately not a single vegan offer. There were also unpleasant comments from the waitress that made me feel uncomfortable: "We don't have anything that sophisticated," followed by various suggestions that weren't vegan. Unfortunately we left again. Too bad.

No, I ate badly and wouldn't and won't eat anyone there

Super expensive(!) but bad food. Hamburger (probably) from the microwave. Never again!

Very nice. But the files were almost the same as the sole of a shoe. For 26 euros I would have expected more than fries, a dollop of sauce and 3 medallions or files. Whatever .

Very nice restaurant can be recommended

Food was very good, ordered fries instead of fried potatoes. But it went wrong and each of us got extra fries on the house. Very friendly. Unfortunately there were no whiting. There are still Cologne constructions left over from the Corona times, which makes it a little oppressive

Nice, simple restaurant with a good selection of food and drinks. Service friendly, price-performance ratio good. Also easily accessible for people with walkers, wheelchairs, etc. The food was delicious and the portion size of many dishes was selectable - senior portion.

Restaurant directly behind the dike with indoor and outdoor seating. Simply set up. Very extensive menu. Prices appropriate to the location. Currently a lot of offers with kale. I just wanted to eat a little something and decided on the large baked potato with a herring fillet and housewife-style sauce. It tasted really good. Negative: 1 wheat beer 0.5 for 6.20 euros. I'll spare myself a comment on this... That cost 1 star...

Every time I'm in Norddeich, I eat here. Always my pleasure...

Unfortunately I can't give any recommendations here. As drinks we ordered a Köstritzer with Cola Zero and a Köstritzer without Cola. We got two Köstritzer with Cola, although they tasted like regular Cola. Then the food came. The fish was on point, but the breading was over-seasoned. This could not be said about the mushrooms and the alleged fried potatoes. Speaking of fried potatoes. Extremely coarsely diced potatoes were served, which were very firm to the bite and had probably only been in the pan for a short time. Roasted aromas are absent. On the contrary. You only had the taste of potatoes in your mouth. The waitress didn't really listen, didn't respond to my comments about the food and you couldn't understand the waitress who brought the food. Conclusion. Once and not again! It's a shame actually.

Outdated restaurant. Large portions, but poorly seasoned or not seasoned at all. Boss very unfriendly. Price not justified at all

The portions are very large, but unfortunately everything is just finished products. It's just too expensive for that. Cleanliness in the toilet also leaves a lot to be desired.

Food wasn't good: a Greek salad with roughly chopped cucumbers, canned cabbage and a few pieces of feta for almost €20. The waitress seemed to want to get rid of us and the toilets had their best days behind them.

The food was ready too quickly.

All very tasty Friendly Worth the price

Restaurant directly behind the dike, typical tourist restaurant. Drinks and food were served quickly. The burger we ordered was fast food restaurant quality, the crab soup we ordered was so spicy that my son couldn't eat it. You had to look for the crabs in there. Praiseworthy, the soup was taken back and other dishes were offered.

The food was very good and tasty. Not exactly cheap, but that's just the way it is behind the dunes near the beach.

In my opinion, price/performance doesn't fit at all. There are better places to stop for refreshments all around.

We were able to eat here without a reservation. Our first service was super nice and funny, our second service wasn't unfriendly but couldn't be compared with the first. The food came very quickly and tasted great.

Everything was great, the food was very tasty and large portions, the service was nice, the place was clean and large. The only point of criticism is the toilet.... The men's toilet was permanently locked and only the urinal was open, that's not possible

On our first evening, very nice service and delicious food. It was very crowded... A few days later, just bad. Food was carelessly thrown onto the plate, a huge mountain on the plate, it no longer looked appetizing. The waitress was in a bad mood and had already started cleaning and tidying up, even though there were still guests there. Well, there are other restaurants where you can eat well...

Classic tourist restaurant. The menu is very extensive and the portions are relatively large. As already mentioned, the staff is rather unfriendly.

The fried potatoes weren't crispy enough, they were kind of wobbly. Of course everything has become more expensive in recent years but for some portions it is a bit too expensive

Drank very tasty tea with rum and Pharisees.

Price performance doesn't quite match. Were there for dinner, fish platter. Food ok but not suitable for the price. The same applies to the ambience. However, the service is top.

What can you say!? Simply not recommended. Service unfriendly and musty. Don't even want to talk about the food.

It used to be okay...like Diekster Pann...but since the new owners have nothing to do with Norddeich, we don't go there anymore. The kitchen is no longer what it used to be

Good food and very friendly staff. Right on the dike.

Delicious food and good value for money!

Good value for money. Food was tasty and service was good too.

Very nice restaurant. Delicious food.

We ate here several times during our stay and were always very satisfied! The food was very tasty and the waitresses were friendly and attentive. We had our two dogs with us and this wasn't a problem at all.

Food with a chip shop character, it was enough to fill you up, mayo unfortunately only in small pre-packaged bags, lettuce leaf was wilted, apple spritzer was very thin and without fizz, service seemed very grumpy, I don't have to go back

Schnitzel and pollock were very tasty, as were side dishes. Service very friendly, prices quite normal, great selection on the menu

Nice restaurant with a good menu and delicious food! I also found the atmosphere very pleasant.

The fish was very good, but the large salad plate was unfortunately unimaginative and not that great.

Apple pancakes were way too expensive and didn't taste good at all. As a housewife I can make them better and for 16.50

Enjoy your meal. Salad without dressing. Service was good.

We were very satisfied and enjoyed being there

Super tasty fish. Unfortunately dogs are only allowed outside.

A culinary delight. Plaice fillet is recommended

Nice restaurant. Very friendly staff. Would love to come back.

WOW… I'm thrilled with the great food! 👍👍👍

The owner refused us on the pretext that there were too many of us: 4 adults and a child. The terrace was empty, the tables for 2, 4 or 6 people were free. Extremely disappointed to have had to leave the premises. Not suitable for families with children!

We were there for lunch, it wasn't busy and our dishes came very quickly. The food was delicious and the portions were good, unfortunately the prices are quite high these days. The total amount of the bill for 3 people amazed us for 3 dishes and 3 drinks. 5 years ago the food was significantly cheaper. The service was very friendly, the ambience is fine, there is still room for improvement.

We ate fish dishes. Everything was very fresh and cooked to perfection. Prices realistic.

Very nice service! Food was good!

Good selection of dishes, nice staff

For us the best restaurant in Norddeich.

Unfriendly. Bottle of water €8.40.

Always happy. Food, staff everything very satisfactory. Thanks

Food is good and comes relatively quickly after ordering

Good cuisine, prices as usual in tourist resorts. Service was also good.

Nice atmosphere But price/performance is only weak. Had schnitzel with paprika sauce, I can do better at home. I found it quite expensive compared to other restaurants. But service was great

Food great, staff great, everything great.

The quality of the food was French fries and the price was 4-5 stars. So the price/performance ratio is absolutely not justified. Even for the location

Very touristy, is also right at the beach access. Food acceptable, but too expensive for what you get. Dishes partially drowned in simple over-seasoned sauce.

I had to give the 1 star otherwise I wouldn't have been able to post it. Restaurant 0 stars from us. Service a disaster. The behavior of the waitress (gentlemen) is not good at all. Yesterday there were 6 of us who wanted to go out for dinner with 🐕 when I asked a waitress, she said the dog was only outside and showed me the direction. We went in that direction and wanted to sit there. At this point the gentleman came over, very unfriendly, tone: is the (colleague) disabled? No, we can't sit with 6 people. Pushing tables together is not possible. It's a shame if you don't want to make money. Working in a customer-friendly and customer-oriented manner is different. Especially since the first table was put together there. We will not visit this restaurant with a small group either.

Very nice service and delicious food. Dogs in the outdoor area “under the table” are no problem. It is also child-friendly and barrier-free access is available. A little more expensive, but really worth it.

I had Matjes Hausfrau with not so well seasoned fried potatoes, my wife had a really tasty pancake! Cold drinks, everything good all round!

Shrimp from the local harbor, herring from Emden. My wife had herring on brown bread with onions, perhaps the onions were a bit roughly chopped, not the end of the world. I had North Sea crabs on fried potatoes with a fried egg. I thought the fried potatoes were cut a bit large. Basically ok. 😊

The food was tasty but nothing special, nice service and nice ambience, just a bit cramped.

Is highly recommended. Very good food and good portions.

We took a lunch break here on a bike tour from Greetsiel north. We ordered pike perch fillet, unfortunately the food was only at canteen level, a canteen from the 70s... The potatoes were not salted, the spinach was overcooked and tasteless and the fish, which had died twice, was drowning in an indefinable mixture of cheese and sauce.... The service was okay and quick, And the ambience... We were happy when we were back on the bikes.

Food is very overpriced. Normal apple pancakes cost 16.90 euros. I find it very intense.

Good morning, Ordered 3 scoops of ice cream there last night 7/7/24, vanilla, nut and straziatella. You couldn't eat it, it had a lot of components that had a jelly-like consistency. (Not frozen properly) I asked, then they explained that the freezer keeps defrosting itself. Wouldn't always be properly frozen and shown up more often. This shouldn't happen There were no discounts etc. I wouldn't eat ice cream there anymore

Unfortunately, the high prices are more due to the prominent location. The food is rather average. The hollandaise sauce was particularly disappointing.

The food was plentiful and tasted good. My schnitzel was just a little very fatty. My partner's Cordon Bleu, however, doesn't. So I think the pan was just a bit too cold. Can happen. But the schnitzel was still juicy and not fried to death. The drink order took a little too long for me but the food was ready really quickly. However, the service itself was very friendly and therefore the criticism is not relevant to me. From my first visit last year I know that dogs aren't a problem either. In terms of price, it's absolutely reasonable and the quantity is okay (you'll get full). Thumbs up

Beautifully located, nice ambience and very friendly and attentive service. We felt very comfortable. And my dish “Zander in Mustard Sauce” was a poem. I can only recommend this restaurant. We will be back.

Very tasty pancakes, we love them. We've been enjoying eating there for years. I'm already looking forward to the next time.

Coffee with milk was good, moderately priced at €4.60. Cola 0.5l 5.60 👀😬 Service nice Locally behind the dike 👋😎🤔

I actually eat there every time I'm here. I was always very satisfied. This year I came here with two friends and I have to say I am very disappointed. Dogs are no longer allowed in... We arrived around 9 p.m. and wanted to eat something. All three of us wanted fried potatoes instead of boiled potatoes. The whole time there was loud sorting around us, according to the motto: just don't stay too long. We want to call it a day. When the food came, there was boiled potatoes despite the other order. That's what we said and with a lot... we all had fried potatoes. We had just had the last bite in our mouths when the waitress (or boss?) came and wanted to collect. That was around half past nine. When we paid we noticed that everyone had a surcharge of €5 because we wanted different potatoes. I'm willing to pay an extra charge, but for the three of us that was a mere €15. We got up and left... I've never felt so unwelcome anywhere.
