EKU inn in Nürnberg

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.

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.

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!

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

Great ribeye steak, incredibly tender & friendly service!

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).

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

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.

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!

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!

Very good food and service. Gladly again

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.

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.

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.

Great stakes, friendly professional service, nice atmosphere 👍

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.

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.

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.

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!

We had been given a voucher for the Eku Inn and were really looking forward to a lovely evening - unfortunately it was a big disappointment. When we first made contact, the interaction was anything but hospitable. I wanted to reschedule our reservation and was treated extremely rudely by an older woman on the phone. Her words: “You do whatever you want with us! You are all incredible!” – and then they just hung up. I've never experienced anything like this before. Since we had the voucher, we went anyway. This impression continued on site. The older lady with short hair welcomed us without a greeting or a friendly word. She responded to our “Good evening, we have reserved a table” by… leaving. Without a word! It was as if eating with them was a crime. Another waiter showed us our seats without a word and with just a gesture as if we were dogs. The table was a table for four, but we were specifically shown where exactly to sit. Very uncomfortable. About the food: There is at least one star for the fillet steak – it was actually good. But the side dishes were a disaster. The “tomato salad” consisted of a large, sliced ​​tomato (including the lid!) – without any onion or herb garnish or anything similar. Just a tomato on a plate – for an impressive 6.50 euros! The mushroom cream tasted like a ready-made sauce, and the beans with bacon seemed to have been waiting to be used for a long time. The drinks are simply placed on the table in the bottle without any service instead of being poured into the glass. In addition, the napkins are of the cheapest quality - it looks like shopping at TEDI. We don't want to go into such details here; they are simply disappointing and inappropriate for a restaurant that wants to present itself as high-quality. Overall, the price-performance ratio was simply disappointing. The prices themselves would be fine, but for what you get here - both in terms of service and side dishes - it's just not right. You don't feel welcome or well treated, and the quality of the side dishes really makes you wonder if Eku Inn isn't aimed more at tourists who come once and then never again. We used to come here many times, but after this experience we definitely won't come back. The older lady's behavior was the icing on the cake - absolutely disrespectful. It's a shame, but the Eku Inn is dead for us.

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.

Nice restaurant, great service!!! Quality of the food is top!

Nice restaurant, the food was super tasty. Staff really nice, helpful and funny!

Nice food atmosphere. The waitresses were very politely!

Top beef fillet - thank you very much!!!

Probably the best steak restaurant in Nuremberg

Das Essen ansich war sehr lecker, aber die Seniorin war sehr unfreundlich und hat unsere Laune am Anfang schon ruiniert. Nie wieder und das nur wegen ihr.

The food itself was bombastic, but the boss, or rather the senior lady, is cheeky. Never again in this juice shop :/

As always, the quality of the meat was great. The waitresses are friendly and always funny. Gladly again. The furnishings and toilets are unfortunately getting old.

Whenever I visit Nürnberg, I atleast visit this restaurant once. Overall the food is great, the service as well as people are very friendly and price is very competitive comparing to other places. The wine selection is also good 😊 for big groups it is always advised to make a reservation in advance and during summer the garden area is open. Filet Steak 300G or Combi Platte are fully recommended!

Tight seating. Much too warm in the rooms. Pepper steak drowned in gravy. The meat hardly tasted good. Pineapple extremely sour. Too bad

Simple great food and value for money is absolutely fine

I have visited this place 2 times and quality of food was the same - very good!

Retro steakhouse whose original 70s interior exudes morbid charm. Great steaks and side dishes, good service. Warm food throughout.

Bestes mir bekanntes Steakhaus, wurde in 30 Jahren niemals enttäuscht! Die Einrichtung im Stil der 70er Jahre hat Charme, gefällt mir sehr gut und gehört einfach zur Tradition dazu. Was die Speiseauswahl anbelangt bleibe ich beim argentinischen Filetsteak, hier ist die Qualität des Fleisches sowie die Zubereitung seit Beginn an unverändert hervorragend. Ich habe noch keinen Besuch erlebt, an dem die Chefin nicht anwesend gewesen wäre, sie ist immer freundlich und serviceorientiert. Das Steakhaus ist eine Institution in Nürnberg und mir ist kein weiteres Lokal bekannt, mit solch einer langen Tradition bei gleichbleibender Qualität.

Das Interieur und der Außenbereich könnten eine kleine Auffrischung durchaus vertragen. Aber egal. Die Steaks sind sehr gut. Sowohl das Fleisch als auch die Zubereitung, Und der Service war auch gut. Insgesamt eine sehr gute Location.

If you're looking for the bygone flair of the steakhouses 'Currasco' and 'Maredo' from the eighties, you've come to the right place, as the portions are just as delicious 😋. The ambience is excellent, the tables are arranged variably and offer - somewhat cramped - space. The waitresses are very friendly and the prices are very moderate - I think around 40 euros for dinner with dessert is fine. I liked it there so much that I will definitely reserve a table again next time. Thank you for the good time there, it reminded me of the city's earlier days when everything was a bit more comfortable.

Super steaks, the best in Europe

Great steak! Steak lovers will get their money's worth here. But also steak non-lovers. 😀

Very tasty and cozy despite the full shop. 👍🏻

The EKU-Inn on the edge of the old town is also a gastronomic institution in the city of Nuremberg. Silvia Mohr and her team run a 70s-style steak restaurant with a lot of commitment and love, which offers an unmistakable charm. In summer, guests can relax in an equally beautiful outdoor area in the property's courtyard. The menu of course offers beef, bison, lamb, surf & turf. From fillet to entrecôte and many more, there is everything your heart desires. The desired cooking level comes to the table perfectly. The salads and side dishes are diverse and can be varied wonderfully. Beer and wine as well as AFG round off the offering. The service is attentive and fulfills almost every wish. Nothing more is possible.

Since I have been coming here for years because I simply love the steaks, I will continue to visit one of my favorite restaurants. The steaks are great and always cooked to perfection. The boss is almost always on site and her passion really seems to be to warmly welcome the guests. The only thing that really bothers me, and that doesn't fit into the overall picture, are the toilets. It is absolutely no longer the standard and they have had to be completely modernized for years. Something different would be nostalgic here. But okay, I don't eat on the toilet. Since you come here to eat, I can recommend the restaurant without hesitation. A must for anyone taking a detour to Nuremberg. Do you have to reserve in advance? YES!

Service and food perfect, thank you Helmut 👍🏻

Excellent beef, well grilled. They do not offer medium-rare anymore, but kindly got as close as possible to my asking - big plus point.

Delicious steak. Service was a little strange and intrusive. Ambiance is right.

Eku Inn in Nuremberg is a restaurant that offers an overall satisfying experience. I ordered the fillet, which proved to be tender and flavourful, cooked exactly as requested, demonstrating attention to quality and detail in preparation. I chose vegetables as a side dish, served in generous portions, even if they were not included in the meat dish, which could be an aspect that could be improved. The place itself is not particularly striking for its atmosphere or furnishings, which remain rather simple and functional. However, the service was quick and efficient, a definite plus. The price is also within the norm, without any particular surprises, making the experience positive and balanced between quality and cost. In summary, Eku Inn is a valid option for those looking for a good dinner without too many demands in terms of environment.

For me, this steakhouse has a traditional value. I've known it for about 20 years now and the quality of the food has been consistently excellent. Service is always super friendly and fast, the meat is always of very good quality. If you want to eat a good steak, then you shouldn't miss the eku Inn. The price is currently around €40-45 per person including drinks.

Food as always very tasty. Unfortunately service today was very unfriendly.

For me it's still the best steak in town, apart from the ambience that's reminiscent of the 80's, which actually makes the whole thing great for meat lovers. Address No. 1 in Nuremberg. The service is always top. The quality of the products is always consistently top. The garden in summer is also very inviting.

Immer wieder gerne! Freundliche Bedienung und super leckere Steaks haben wir mal wieder genossen. Kann man nur empfehlen

The steaks were great. The side dishes could be better. The staff very friendly. The drink prices are reasonable. Quiet courtyard garden

We arrived late and we were attended to promptly, I really liked it.

It's a shame it was one of the best steakhouses in Nuremberg. We were greeted very rudely, and the food arrived at very different times even though we ordered at the same time. We said we were having a birthday party and everything was arranged very carelessly. Three different waiters came to us and there was confusion as to who had ordered what. We still gave a 10% tip for an order of 400 euros, but we were asked to leave early 5 minutes before closing time!! Why are you like that? The store falls and stands with the service!!!!!!We can't help it if you have problems running the restaurant accordingly. Not a second time

I went to EKU INN for lunch today and was very excited about the taste of the 200g fillet steak with a baked potato with sour cream, which really didn't save money. In the beautiful and cozy palm garden you can also enjoy the freshly tapped and cool EKU Pils. Here you are personally greeted in a very friendly manner by the boss and brought to the table by the very nice and attentive junior boss, all respect! The service person was very humorous, friendly and really on the ball. All around a successful experience. P.s. I've been to a few steak houses in Germany, but this is my clear favorite!

Best steak I have eaten, simply delicious and clean, everything perfect

It's a shame it was a hit 30 years ago and hasn't changed since then. There is also a lot of dust in the ceiling and under the individual placemats. The lamps are dusty towards the ceiling. The food is ok except for the fries and the grilled potato that comes out of the oven. Salads are also not really recommended, the cucumber salad looked very cheap, some salads were more like ready-made salad. Service top.

Steak had a lot of fat on it (mushy in the mouth) Service was unfriendly (blonde woman) The furnishings in the store are reminiscent of a fast food chain. For the price you should eat somewhere else.

The service was initially very euphoric and that lasted until the order was placed. Well, what can I say? Unfortunately, my wife wasn't offered anything after the first drink. Unfortunately the food was a failure, the steak was ordered medium. In the end it was English and so mixed that it really wasn't anything special. Between the two of us, we still left almost €100 there. That was probably the first and last time.
