EKU inn in Nürnberg

The food and service were very good. We highly recommend it if you're in Nuremberg.

The best steaks, great staff. You simply feel comfortable. 10 out of 10. Thank you.

We had a lovely evening at the EKU Inn. The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. We'll be back.

The owner's rudeness right at the door is beyond belief. It makes you want to leave and forgo the meal.

A large place that, even when crowded, isn't too noisy. My husband and I had dinner at the counter, and we had an exceptional grilled Argentine fillet: very lean, perfectly cooked and seasoned, truly excellent. We also drank a glass of very good Chilean red wine. A great recommendation. We'll definitely be back.

I went to a steakhouse again after many years and was quite disappointed. The shrimp appetizer was really tasty, but for around €20, only four shrimp with some garlic bread and bacon seemed excessive. The filet steak was okay, but nothing special; I've had much better from the butcher at home. The restaurant was completely overcrowded, and the staff couldn't even get to the tables properly, so as a customer, you had to help with serving to pass everything around. This also made it quite loud and not at all cozy. I've always found even the big chains to be better. For that price, there are plenty of other restaurants in town that offer significantly more.

The food was excellent, no complaints there. The service seemed a bit arrogant to me.

The food was delicious and the service was super friendly, but it was simply too crowded and cramped.

The food was excellent. The service was very friendly.

The meat was incredibly delicious... I don't need to mention the potatoes because this is Germany :) We drank Argentinian wine. Apfelstrudel is delicious :)

The meat is truly Oscar-worthy. Excellent. Prices are reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere is captivating. The staff is incredibly friendly. Top!

Excellent food, generous portions, and a wide selection. Friendly and helpful staff. Fast service. Reservations required.

We've been going there at least once a year for 22 years. And we were there again yesterday. As always, everything was fantastic! The food and service were consistently excellent. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Very tasty rib-eye steak, friendly service. The chairs are quite uncomfortable and the tables aren't very practical either. The furniture is definitely showing its age... Despite the delicious food, the restaurant is packed.

Fantastic steakhouse! Ms. Mohr and her team are simply amazing. We've been coming for years and, as always, we wish her: Please live to be 120! Martin & Cristina

The filet steak with beans and lamb's lettuce as a starter was delicious. It was cooked to perfection. I'll gladly come back again on my next visit to Nuremberg.

Good selection, great value for money

Today we ate at EKU Inn (4 people). Parking: There's a free parking lot for guests at the back of the restaurant. If it's full, there's also a parking garage just down the next street. Food: Garlic bread, 200g filet steak with fries, and the house dessert was a surprise. But if you love chocolate, then the chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream is the one for you ☺️. We finished with an espresso. The steak was cooked to perfection, medium as requested, and everything tasted fantastic. Although a bit pricey, it's worth every penny for the quality. It's not for someone looking for mass-produced food at low prices. The interior could be a bit more modern. Service: Very friendly and attentive. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of. We had a great time ☺️. The rest of the staff was always on hand to clear tables and serve food and drinks. The owner's wife even took a few minutes to chat with us. I can highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates excellent food and quality.

The place was very busy, with a moderate to high noise level. I went on a Friday, with a reservation, and it was quite crowded. The waitress was friendly and bilingual, but due to the high volume of customers, she ended up forgetting part of my order. The food was very good and delivered quickly after ordering.

Delicious steaks. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We'll gladly come back.

As a Brazilian who loves high-quality meat, I would highly recommend this place in the city! The service was also very good, everyone was friendly 😄

Came here several times during my stay and ordered the same thing every time, it was that good. The staff were always friendly and welcoming, and we shared a few laughs along the way. My steak was cooked to perfection each time. Highly recommend! Also they accept Apple wallet payments.

Delicious food and friendly service.

Steak Restaurant in Nuremberg We were here as a group of four on a Saturday with a reservation. Unfortunately, neither the greeting at the door from the floor manager nor the waitress at the table was friendly. The restaurant was full, and there was hardly any space at the table because the chairs were back to back. Therefore, unfortunately, we deducted a rating for the service and noise level in the restaurant, as well as the seating area. We ordered various steaks and side dishes, and the food was excellent in terms of taste and cooking. However, one wonders whether five croquettes really should cost €5.90 or whether they're cutting corners here. We also charged extra for herb butter because the waiter didn't know whether it was included when ordering. A real shame. Summary Food top-notch service flop

I have eaten at this restaurant three times now and it has always been very good, I recommend it to anyone who wants to eat a good steak

I've been there every now and then for trade fairs over the years, but after my visit this week, it was definitely the last time. The owner and/or chef have probably changed; previously, you could choose your dry-age, but they weren't "demonstrated" this time. The bison advertised on the website wasn't available either, and special cuts like flank aren't even available. So, a colleague and I ordered a 300g fillet steak, and mine was supposed to be medium-rare. For starters, I had king prawns wrapped in bacon. These (4) came on wooden skewers, and only 2 of the 4 were visibly wrapped in bacon, which, unfortunately, wasn't even remotely crispy. Disappointing for an 18€ starter, even though the prawns themselves were quite good. Next came the steak (with wedges), seared on both sides as usual, but while an internal temperature of 52°C was expected, my steak didn't reach 10°C. That means not just raw, but cold. The waitress I spoke to about it was completely overwhelmed by the complaint. She said she could have it cooked a bit higher – which would definitely not be possible to make it medium-rare. For €40, I would have expected a new one and asked the waitress how we could handle this. She then steamed off without a word, and my colleagues and I assumed she would reappear shortly after the matter was resolved. Far from it: I had eaten my wedges, my colleagues had finished eating, and the waitress didn't show up even after making eye contact. To add to the audacity, one has to assume that she deliberately brought the bill while I was outside smoking. And then there was the complete ignorance of her own incompetence: all prices were calculated in full, not even a side dish was omitted to compensate for the ruined steak. When asked about this, the waitress said she had offered to reheat the steak. I can only recommend to every meat lover: go to a steakhouse where they know their craft.

Well, what happened to me today was the last straw. I've never experienced such treatment. My friend and I always go here for dinner after shopping. My friend and her husband have been regulars for decades. The food is generally good, but if you have a complaint, the manager will yell at you and give you a hard time, like a stupid schoolchild, in a loud voice, in front of all the guests. In the summer, I complained about the beans with bacon, which weren't seasoned at all. The manager said, "Salt is supposed to be on the table." Today I ordered my fillet steak medium rare and received it medium. When I complained, the manager loudly yelled at me in a manner that was beyond rude. I don't normally write reviews, but what this elderly lady is doing is beyond rude. The service was very friendly and tried to defuse the situation.

Simple mega good food and price performance is absolutely fine

Delicious food, tender meat, good atmosphere, I liked it. For meat lovers, this is the place you're looking for. I'll be back.

The best steaks, cooked to perfection. All the side dishes are also excellent. Friendly service. The owner is always in a good mood and has been for 50 years. Consistency and quality. Free parking in the back courtyard in the heart of Nuremberg. THE steakhouse in Nuremberg. 100% recommended.

As a lifelong carnivore, I can only say: the EKU Inn is a must for steak lovers. Very high-quality meat, perfectly prepared, and quick yet unobtrusive service. And what definitely needs mentioning: the ambiance! Seventies meets postmodernism, guided by Goethe's color theory. All of this in a medieval building and... it's perfect!

The meat was cooked to perfection. The flavor is simply amazing. The meat slices like butter and melts in your mouth. 10 out of 10 😋 The potato with sour cream was truly amazing, so much so that I even ate it with scallops. 💯 Highly recommended 👍🏼

Great steaks in a rustic atmosphere. We'd happily go back. Our waiter was amazing 😄

Prices have risen dramatically, even though the portions seem to be getting smaller and smaller, and the quality is declining. That's what it used to be. We used to be regular customers. Now we go there once or twice a year at most.

An institution! Our guarantee of perfection for 50 years. ​It's hard to believe, but we've been coming to the EKU Inn for half a century. In a world where everything is constantly changing, this restaurant is our rock in the surf of gastronomy. ​The reason for this is simple: the unwavering quality. From our first visit in the 1970s to the present day, the steaks have been consistently outstanding. Always perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Maintaining this level of excellence over decades is an art, and here it is masterfully mastered. ​The service is just as consistent: warm, attentive, and absolutely professional. You feel not just like a guest, but a valued friend of the establishment. ​For us, the EKU Inn is more than just a restaurant—it's a piece of history and the epitome of quality and hospitality in Nuremberg. Thank you for 50 years of delicious moments. Here's to your next visit!

The food and service are really good. But the lady at the door, who greets you, immediately makes you feel unwelcome. It's a shame, because that's exactly where the visit begins. The real problem is that there's no competition in Nuremberg—otherwise, it would be over quickly.

A very pleasant and cozy atmosphere, accompanied by a friendly and attentive team. I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the dishes' difference from classic German cuisine – fresh, creative, and full of flavor. The selection is large and varied, so there's truly something for everyone. A place you'll gladly return to.

Very fast staff - initially. The food was delicious - outstanding! Unfortunately, the waiter then took an extended smoke break, so we had to wait a bit... The ambiance seems to have remained unchanged for a long time - which is fine... but the restrooms... something could be done there! Parking is available in the courtyard around the corner!

Everything was fine. The service personal was very friendly. Highly recommended!

Excellent steaks, great value for money. Reservations and even a slightly late arrival were accepted with a smile. Service staff were friendly and competent, happy to crack a joke. The senior manager is the soul of the place. +++ The restrooms have been renovated, but the old tiles were retained (sustainable!!) and are almost up-to-date again. A great combination of old and new. And above all: everything was very clean!

Some of the best steaks in Nuremberg. The ambiance has room for improvement. Prices are reasonable for the quality.

Everything was good. Very tasty food. Unfortunately, the food isn't always cooked to the desired consistency.

Very friendly and attentive service, delicious food, and good value for money! We'd love to come back! Thank you!

Great steaks, best herb butter ever

The food was very good. The steak was well prepared and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, the staff wasn't particularly friendly, and the atmosphere was very unpleasant. There was no music, and we were completely alone in the restaurant. The decor isn't my cup of tea, and we had to wait a long time for the staff to return. The restaurant is highly recommended for the food, but unfortunately, not for anything else.

Very good price/performance ratio, thank you for the nice hours

I've been to many meat restaurants in the region, but I can say with certainty that the quality of the meat here and how it's prepared is simply top-notch, as are the vegetables. The atmosphere is also very pleasant overall, especially the open kitchen is a real highlight. Watching the sizzling, juicy pieces of meat is truly fascinating. But... the waiters 🤦‍♂️ Honestly, they really take away the desire to even be here. If I were the owner, I would send the entire staff to a training course. This just doesn't work, those faces as if they're all forced to work in captivity. No greeting, no smile, just nothing. Everything seems forced. You can't make a good impression like that.

As always, top quality, delicious steaks and side dishes! Highly recommended.

Delicious meat, super-fast cooking, and a well-coordinated, friendly team. The wine recommendation was perfect, and the baked potato on the side was a real highlight. Highly recommended!

As always, very good. Consistent quality over the years...since it opened in 1972...and if you'd like to know more, please read the NN/NZ newspaper article of July 29, 2025, about restaurateur Sylvia Mohr.

Great ribeye steak, incredibly tender & friendly service!

Incredibly good food. I've rarely had such good meat. 👌🏻 The service was very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

The food was very good. The price/performance ratio was completely acceptable. The service was very friendly. The owner (84 years old) is a real veteran. The decor is a bit retro, but clean and perfectly fine. Although you can watch the chef sizzling, the excellent ventilation system eliminates any cooking odors. Parking is available in front of the door on the street or nearby.

Good steakhouse with good quality meat. Service is also quite friendly. We'll be back.

The food was delicious and the staff extremely friendly! We'll be coming back again and again 🫶🏻

Solid steakhouse with good quality meat. Delicious fries. Phenomenal baked potatoes. Reasonably priced, but a lot of salad on the plate. Typical steakhouse ambiance.

A thousand times better than Block House in Nuremberg

Steak and service on point. Please keep it up! We'll be back!

Our go-to steak spot for 36 years. Always perfect. 👍

A place that's more than just a restaurant Everything here is fresh, from the crisp salads to the perfectly grilled steak. Each dish is prepared with love and experience according to our own recipes. The team is consistently friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The owner's grandson, a down-to-earth and personable person, embodies the soul of this place. The steak? Cooked to perfection every time, evenly, tenderly, and full of flavor. Here, quality is lived with true passion. But a meal here is more than just food. It's an experience. A little journey through time full of enjoyment that you'll want to experience again and again. The best part? It tastes as good as always, and that means consistently excellent. Anyone who has been here knows: disappointment is impossible.

A classic in Nuremberg. I was absolutely won over by the attentive service and the quality of the food. The beer garden in the back courtyard is very pleasant and invites you to linger for a while. Since it was a business lunch, no pictures were taken. The only drawback is that the plumbing in the courtyard could use some modernization due to the smell of the plumbing (very old sewer connection, probably without the necessary ventilation).

We had one of the best restaurant visits in a long time. Super attentive and very friendly staff and really excellent food. It's probably worth mentioning that three of us four are vegetarians. We would have been totally happy with the truly fantastic side dishes, like baked potatoes, wedges, ratatouille, garlic bread, etc., but they also offer a vegetarian schnitzel (maybe vegan?), which we really enjoyed. The meat-eater, by the way, was also very, very satisfied with his steak – cooked to perfection and simply perfect. The chocolate cake for dessert was the crowning glory. If we ever come back to Nuremberg, we definitely want to be guests again. Best wishes to Simon, who is wholeheartedly involved, and his equally super friendly colleague, whose name we unfortunately didn't catch, but we definitely don't want to leave unmentioned.

Excellent steaks The atmosphere is reminiscent of the seventies, but well-kept.

Well, I was here several times many years ago. And my father advised me to definitely visit the EKU again when I was in Nuremberg. And what can I say, the best advice?

Magnificant restaurant and very fine steak.

Although I give 4 stars for the food, unfortunately I can only give 3 stars overall. We've eaten at EKU INN several times. We've always really liked the charm of the 70s and the good food. However, on May 11, 2025 (Mother's Day), we encountered excessive demands on the operators, which was passed on to the employees/employees. First we were “overlooked”. then we should order without reading the menu sufficiently, then no one came again? The appetizer came well before the drinks. When the main course was served, juice from the steaks dripped onto our clothes etc etc. There was a brief apology, but that was it. In my opinion, an offer to take a blazer available in the restaurant as a "replacement" for that day is subpar for a high-priced steakhouse. The very snippy communication on the part of the employee about this, as well as the boss's "first name" (?)......... not very professional.

Great, the steaks were super tasty and the beer garden was very nice. The service was great, friendly and very attentive.

May 2025 still as great as ever !Never fails to impress, we have been coming here every time we have visited for the last 10 years. Hard to imagine how they always serve fantastic steak

We spontaneously went to eat at the EKU inn! The waitress was super friendly and the food was very good. I would say the prices are now in the normal midfield.🤣

I have rarely eaten delicious beef. Really great. The service was very attentive, even though the shop was really full (luckily we had reserved a table). We'd love to come back.

I probably ate my best farmer and fillet steak here with excellent Champion sauce and a topping of French pepper sauce! 😎 Best meat and really tasty 😋 A dream 😉 Thank you 👌

Absolutely beautiful, delicious, cozy... As always, actually. I can definitely recommend it. We'll be back.

Very good as it has been for 40 years

You have to like the 70s style atmosphere. Very attentive service. Steak was medium medium, good quality but not outstanding. Still acceptable price-performance ratio for the city center.

Very friendly staff good food :)

Great food, good service. Very good preparation of the steaks!

Very good food and service. Gladly again

I have to say, this was the best meat I've had this month. Fried just right medium, tender, no flax. Sauce has a nice strong flavor and not too thick or thin. Dessert was also delicious and not too sweet. I can therefore recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience!

Rarely have I had such a good steak

Very good steaks are available here

Great food, only the dragon is annoying.

Although it may not be obvious from the outside, it is a clean place where we can eat good meat. The portions are filling and the prices are average.

Excellent grilled meat, fast service, very kind staff.

Quality good, quantity not so much. Didn't really feel full despite the starter and grill plate

My steak had a huge tendon so I wasn't able to eat my steak in peace as I was busy cutting through the table. When the now infamous receptionist came to us, we were just insulted and she can't operate on something like that. When I go out to eat steak, I want it in peace and without any effort. The shop itself is great but the boss makes it quite uncomfortable. Because of this, even one star is too much. Feel free to take a look at the rest of the bad reviews... coincidentally, we're all talking about the same lady :)

If you're a meat lover and looking for the ultimate steak experience in Germany, EKU inn is the place you shouldn't miss! This is an excellent steakhouse in Nuremberg, which is considered one of the best in the country - and rightfully so. The meats served on the premises are of the highest quality, with a degree of precision and deep flavors. The main dishes include a wide selection of juicy steaks, quality prime cuts to special cuts of meat that are perfectly prepared. Each bite is a celebration of taste, with precise seasoning and the use of grilling techniques that bring the meat to its maximum texture and flavor extraction. Along with the meat, the restaurant offers a refreshing and balanced salad mix, which goes great with the main dishes. The vegetables are fresh, the sauces are special, and everything is served in an aesthetic that adds to the culinary experience. The desserts in the restaurant are simply amazing! If you are looking for a perfect end to the meal, don't miss their special apple desserts, which leave a sweet and addictive taste. The desserts are carefully prepared, with a perfect balance between sweetness and natural flavors, making them the highlight of the meal. A particularly warm recommendation - don't give up their potato with cream! This is an excellent dish that combines rich flavors and a perfect texture. The delicate cream gives the potato additional depth and creates a perfect combination alongside the fine meats. The atmosphere at EKU INN is pleasant and warm, and the service is professional, courteous and fast. The staff makes sure to provide a high level hospitality experience and make sure that every guest leaves satisfied. In conclusion, EKU INN is the best steakhouse in Nuremberg. If you are in the area and want to enjoy a perfect meat meal with a precise accompaniment of salads, amazing desserts and unforgettable side dishes - don't miss this place!

We have been driving from Amberg to Nuremberg to eat steak for over 30 years. Best steak, garlic bread and potatoes with sour cream. It is remarkable that the boss is still in the store, with the utmost respect. Thank you very much for the very, very good food.

Wir hatten bereits 5 Tage im voraus für zwei Person reserviert. Leider wurde uns nur ein ungemütlicher „Beistelltisch“ zwischen der ursprünglichen Bestuhlung zugewiesen. Das Fleisch ist auf den Punkt gebraten und absolut top. Leider wird dazu liebloser Fertigsalat mit Fertigdressing serviert. Man hat den Eindruck, es wird das letzte aus dem guten Namen herausgepresst und mitgenommen was geht. Schade, das EKU Inn war früher eine wirkliche Institution bei der hochwertige Lebensmittel und freundlicher Service selbstverständlich waren.

There were three of us and we each had the 400g entrecote. The cooking point was perfect. The meat quality is great. The service was, as always, courteous. For me the best steakhouse in Nuremberg. Again and again! Update: There were four of us at the table and of course we had reserved. The meat quality was good again for 3 steaks. For me, the No. 205 Endrecôte was very full of flexes. It wasn't medium rare, as ordered, but medium well. The waitress was not allowed to accept the complaint, but instead sent it to the boss. She tried to excuse herself with a lot of business and a lot of work on Saturday evening. And whether I don't want to eat the steak as it is. But then she accepted the complaint. Afterwards the waitress brought me tournetinos, not my entrecôte. I told the waitress that I didn't order that. She took the plate away again and after about 8 minutes my new steak came out perfectly. The Eku Inn now seems to be slowly getting old.

The restaurant was very full and so far everything was ok. The service was ok but stressed, in defense it was very busy. For dinner we had garlic bread and twice the No. 205 rib-eye steak with oven potatoes. The garlic bread was intentionally but unsuccessfully very oily and not at all crispy. To the steak that it. The taste was very bad, the steak was dripping with fat and was a total disappointment (we left it completely back). But the baked potato is really very good. We will come back to this steak house at some point. And hopefully leave with a good taste experience.

Great stakes, friendly professional service, nice atmosphere 👍

Mainly designed for business guests: menu and service also in English. Steak is fine, as are side dishes. Prices are aimed at visitors. The hospitality receipt is included.

Ms. Mohr has been welcoming her guests for over 50 years and the quality of her restaurant is just as constant and consistent! Absolutely unique in Nuremberg.

Very friendly, chic shop and super great meat and food 🥳

Nice service but the boss was absolutely unfriendly. I ordered my steak medium rare, it arrived as a shoe sole. After I said something because it was just way too dry, the boss came and lectured me. I couldn't even get a word in edgewise. Absolutely outdated store, not recommended!

First of all, good. Those times are over.

Mega!! 80s style, hot meat. Mega!!!!

He has been a regular guest there for over 40 years (back then with his parents). Consistently very high quality over decades without decreasing! Ambiance from the 70s is still wonderful today! Service and friendliness as always top! Were there today! A culinary delight as always: Argentinian fillet steak and delicious salad! It's great that you still exist!

Nuremberg institution, a must for all steak lovers!

Meat is very good, hence one star. Side dishes —> frozen / finished products. Reservation management incredibly rude. Service OK but far from the kind of service you would get in a high-priced steakhouse. Paper napkins in a spring look are totally old-fashioned and everything is dusty. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio is not right. If you want to have a nice evening in a chic restaurant, you should choose another steakhouse.
