El Paso in Oberhausen

A place to feel good. Just go there and empathize.

It was somehow uncomfortable. We were not served friendly 😔 After what felt like 10 minutes I gave in asked about the menu. Because the person in charge Waiter ignored us. Then we got them Menu. He didn't ask what do you want Drink? Until he took the order It took what felt like an eternity. The drinks were carelessly put in front of us. ETC In the end there was no friendly Goodbye. Even though I tipped 4:70.

The best steak shop in Oberhausen. Before I eat a steak at The ASH, I prefer to come to El Paso. The taste is unique and I have been there many times and never been disappointed. The chefs do a very good job and you can see that in the food. 👍🏼

As always, the food was great, tasted great, was hot and also visually very appealing. As a regular customer for years, I wonder what happened to the very good service and friendliness?! Unfortunately no longer hospitable and accommodating at all. That's why I was there as a guest for the last time today. Very unfortunate.

We were there for the first time for a birthday. The service was very attentive. The food was great. Overall, a very successful afternoon and evening. Absolutely recommended! We would definitely like to come back!

The El Paso (in the podium) is a good steakhouse with a lot of choice outside of steaks. Here steaks are served in 3 variations of fried. English, Medium or Through. No in-between, you get what you order. It is recommended to reserve a table. Portions are filling and you get a salad with every steak dish, which you can get yourself or have it brought to you if you wish.

Very unfriendly waiter, didn't get the food we ordered, was verbally very aggressive when reported

One of the best restaurants. The quantity you offer for the price in 2025 was amazing. The dishes were awesome. The complementary soup and salad already fills your stomach before the main dish comes. Great service I would recommend visiting this place with group of people to eat more 😅

Fresh and well-prepared food, friendly staff and the price-performance ratio is also right. Oh, and the schnitzels are, contrary to what some people write here, not frozen goods. You quickly notice this if you simply order a Jägerschnitzel and a Viennese style schnitzel; the former is fried, while the latter is fried to perfection in fat (so that the breading is crispy and airy at the same time). Not possible with frozen goods.

Today we visited this restaurant for the first time with our family. The atmosphere is very cozy, the service is first class. The food is very tasty, everything is fresh and the portions are huge. Thank you for your service)

As always it was great. Delicious food and very nice service!! We would love to come back 👍👍👍

Recommended! Very nice people, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food. There's nothing to complain about!

Excellent restaurant, clean and tidy, good food, good staff, to be praised.

Food was good as usual, staff attentive and friendly, although extremely understaffed

I just think you're not one of the regulars If we are deliberately ignored because of this, we will never be You felt really annoying Ordered something to drink and the place wasn't full You weren't even served despite having a reservation I then went to the counter to order myself, but they followed this common thread from start to finish, it would simply be beyond the scope to list everything The fact is that you do something like this once but definitely not twice We will not visit this restaurant again Thank God they are not the only restaurant in Oberhausen and if you think you don't need it then it is. 3 adults 1 child 176 EUR. We didn't feel that it was a small price for this service, it was really crazy, you should have actually gotten up and left

What happened to this restaurant where we used to like to go often?! The service is subpar, you are simply ignored, you wait forever, you don't get any soup or dessert at lunch, only after complaining and with a stupid comment and you have to go to the front on your own to pay and order because you are simply ignored. The boss is totally unfriendly and is condescending and snotty even though his service is a disaster and you waited 45 minutes just for drinks! The staff also changed completely, probably not without reason. It's a real shame because the food is great, but with this level of hospitality we will only go to the competition where you are treated and served much better and the food tastes just as good. At lunch, if it goes on for half an hour, you are ignored as a guest until the time is up and then you have to order from the normal menu. If you then comment, you will be told that the food is no longer available... you simply don't feel welcome here anymore!

Simply fantastic! Not only was the food incredibly tasty, but the portions were also generous - no one goes home hungry here. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, so we felt completely at home. A real highlight in the area! Clear recommendation, we would love to come back!

Delicious food, humorous, lovable boss. Fair price! What more could you want! Absolutely recommended!

Good food at fair prices. A paradise for meat lovers.

What can I say, everything is just great, there is nothing to complain about in every respect

Good food. Portions are more than sufficient. The boss and the staff are always friendly. I've been there several times and it's always been good. I always enjoy coming there.

Spent the weekend in Oberhausen. Stopped here spontaneously for dinner on a Friday evening. The food was really very tasty. The steaks were well done and very tender. The schnitzel was frozen but tasted good. As has been noted in many reviews, the service was quite cool and could improve. All in all, you can have a good meal here at fair prices.

Didn't reserve a table for 2 people! No greeting from the basement from anyone! Tried our luck. Since there were enough tables available around 6 p.m., we were looked at condescendingly and told we couldn't do that! Ridiculous! As a couple, we will never enter this store again. We enjoyed coming here back then, the team was super friendly and the owner always tried hard, but unfortunately that's no longer the case! Luckily, Oberhausen city center offers other options where the ambience and service are top notch. Never again.

Was there again yesterday for ages, the prices are super fair and the food was great, we'd love to come back :)

Went for lunch and the menu came straight away. After 30 minutes the waiter saw us by chance because he went outside. That is an absolute minus.

Super tasty and fresh, great service, gladly again 🌸🌸🌸

Our regular restaurant Extremely satisfied with the food. It always tastes delicious and the service is also great.

The food there is really very tasty. I would be happy to give it 10 stars because the prices are not too expensive but just perfect. The ambience is also somewhat ok. Unfortunately I have to be honest about the service and I only give it 1 point. Based on what I experienced there with my husband, I can only say that if you are a foreigner, and by that I mean whether you are an Arab or an African, I would not recommend this restaurant. You don't feel comfortable there and we noticed that at the reception. The bartender or waiter went straight to the boss when he saw us come in. You could directly feel the cold and cool atmosphere. He directed us to a very strange place. This one star went to the waiter who was friendly and took care of us straight away We cared. My husband then generously gave him a tip of 5 euros. The boss was much more open and warm with the German customers and regular customers. We also saw this at the reception when German or regular customers came in directly. He laughed with them and went several times to those at the table to ask how the food tasted and whether they were happy with everything. They just walked past us. Sometime after dinner we decided to leave. Even when we said goodbye, the boss didn't even look at us. But as soon as the Germans got up to say goodbye, he grinned with them and told them goodbye and how happy I would be to see them again. My husband and I will definitely not go there again. There will definitely not be a return to this restaurant

Cozy restaurant with good food.

For the reader in a hurry: food very tasty - service poor. For the reader with time, I would like to write something from my heart: Reserved a table for 2 people by phone at lunchtime on Saturday for 6:30 p.m. Slightly cold counterpart on the phone. Arrived on time, our first time in El Paso. Again, a very cold and arrogant reception from the only older waiter of the evening, who led us to the table. Table away, with a bit of a cat table feel. The waiter immediately left instead of taking at least one drink order straight away. Waited 20 minutes then waved at the older waiter to place an order. He waved back friendly and came about 10 minutes later to take the order for drinks, appetizers and main courses. Note: My friend ordered the pepper fillet a size larger, from 200 g to 250 g. While the waiter was taking our order, regular customers appeared behind us, who were warmly greeted by him and received their drinks 5 minutes later. After another 20 minutes, said waiter came to us with two wrong main courses; Fortunately, we noticed that we hadn't had any drinks or appetizers yet and left in surprise. My buddy was hungry, thirsty and nervous. 10 minutes later our starters arrived, another 5 minutes later our drinks finally arrived, one of which was also wrong but was replaced immediately. My buddy was getting a little aggro by now. After about another 30 minutes a younger waiter came with our main courses. We asked him if you had to take the salad yourself, as some guests did, but some also had their salad served to them. He said he would be happy to bring us the salad and we asked him for it. We didn't see the salad again that evening. My buddy stopped talking. We finished eating. Starters and main courses were admittedly very good; Although I was quite surprised that when I asked to swap the baked potato on my steak plate for croquettes, I was only served the "huge" sum of 4 croquettes. We wanted to pay, the younger waiter came with the bill and I noticed the item "Various dishes" for €10.50. I asked him what that was. He went to the counter to the older waiter, came back and explained that it was for my buddy's larger steak. My friend almost finally burst and said that the difference in the steaks according to the menu was only €5 and not €10.50. I told him I was happy to invite him because I just wanted to get out. I asked the waiter why he didn't bring us the salad. He then grinned broadly and shrugged his shoulders. I generously rounded up the bill of €99.80 to €100 and was glad that my friend didn't bite the tablecloth in anger. I give it two overall points because the food was really good and the atmosphere was quite cozy. The service was the biggest disaster of my restaurant experiences. It's a shame about the potential of the house. Neifer, Haus Wessels & Co. can do all of this much better.

Very tasty food, beautiful ambience..

So today we were here with 9 people, advance reservation for 2 p.m., actually to eat here. At 2:30 p.m. we received a menu and drinks were taken. At 3pm we still had no drinks. I politely asked whether our drinks were ready or had been forgotten. Statement from waiter. It's gone. Then asked again if the drinks were ready. If not we would leave like this. Answer from the waiter. A shrug. So we left again at 3:15 p.m. with no drinks and no food. I am very disappointed. Even if there is a shortage of staff, I think the situation has been taken care of by the Cellar incorrectly regulated. We've eaten here several times but I've never received such incompetent service. Or not served. For us it is clear that we will no longer visit the restaurant.

I would like to point out positively that we spontaneously got a table for 4 people for Saturday evening at 7 p.m. Unfortunately the service was extremely poor. We only got our starter soup after over an hour. During this time we received a single drink. The waiters didn't even look at us. When we asked if we could order something else to drink, after a while only half was brought. I asked again where the drink I had ordered was, and the drink was delivered about 15 minutes later without any communication. To eat: I had the club steak 550gr with fries. Unfortunately the quality was anything but good. Between the bones and the edge of the fat, the meat had thick, fatty tendons running through it, so you couldn't cut out a normal piece. Effectively not 150g of edible meat + wobbly tasteless small fries. A second star only because my wife and children's food was okay... but nothing more. As usual, we didn't ask if everything was okay or if we would like something to drink, so we paid straight away and left disappointed. 135 euros for 2 small beers, 4 small cola, 3 starter soups, a Viennese style schnitzel, grill plate, fillet pot with rice and an inedible steak + waiters who don't pay attention to you... 1x and never again. We like to eat out often, but for the money we expect a waiter to smile and pay attention.

We ate there on New Year's Eve (reservations are recommended on such days). My friend had the mixed lamb plate and was absolutely thrilled. I had a fillet steak. Every (!) bite is a perfect treat! I can't remember eating such a perfect piece of meat in years. A poem!!!

There is always room for improvement, hence 4*. We are pleased that the restaurant was so well attended before the Christmas holidays. We have always had the best advice here and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Had our Christmas dinner with our family today. Even though it was very busy we felt immediately welcome. Our food was simply great and the service was very nice. Always happy 😊 thank you very much

What can I say? Food has always been good for 30 years, no complaints, always friendly service and simply cheap prices, but the most important thing is that it keeps tasting like this and thank you very much

Bad service, staff bad and rude!

Price/performance overpriced. Fl. still water €7.80 Food taste, nothing special and very expensive. Service poor. To pay, the guest must go to the checkout and pay. Wrong, more expensive food billed. El Paso, never again.

Cozy restaurant. Food was great. Nice service.

Very tasty food. Beautiful restaurant with all its own niches. Ordered steaks and schnitzel, very good. The downside is that we had to wait a very long time. But the food made up for it.

We were actually regular guests by now, unfortunately probably for the last time, there were five of us in the restaurant, two of us had a grill plate for two people, one fillet of beef was extremely overcooked, the rest of the food was okay, only the rotten meat was one of them The smell passed us by that we were no longer hungry. The waiter's first reaction was: "It's just beef." He cleared the table, came back later and apologized. Unfortunately, we were also charged the full price. Of course, that can happen sometimes, but it shouldn't actually happen, and we are also disappointed with the behavior.

We've eaten there again for a while, and that was the last time! Not worth the money

Always happy to go there for over 40 years!

Very busy restaurant at lunchtime. Delicious meals with starter soup and dessert at a reasonable price. Meat or fish, it doesn't matter, it tastes very good.

Incredibly good vegetarian food! Good beer and a nice pleasant atmosphere

Oct 2024 Unfortunately the restaurant had to... close at short notice if staff are absent due to illness. On the one hand, we wish you a speedy recovery and, on the other hand, that we will see each other again soon. I think we can consider ourselves regular customers. Well, we wouldn't be that if we didn't like it here. Price - performance are unbeatable!! Oh yes - don't forget the fact that the boss and his crew are super nice and accommodating!!

Went there 3 weeks ago to break the habit!!!!! Absolutely dead fried fish ("crispy salmon fillet", indefinable other fish, the re-ordered side dish was practically served as a dessert, grilled plate tough! Fully charged for when checking out, zero discount, no apology. That's it!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, El Paso is abolishing itself at the moment 😪! Everything has been 98% perfect for 30 years! But being turned away as regular guests when there wasn't much going on is bitter! Ok, there are staff shortages everywhere, but I think with a little improvisation that would have been possible. It's a shame that the "boys" are no longer there! With their attentiveness and warmth, they always made the guests feel welcome. Which unfortunately wasn't the case recently thanks to the temporary workers! I somehow grew up there too and really hope that you get the hang of it!

The day before yesterday we made reservations for this evening at 8 o'clock for 11 people and the shop was closed. Edit: at least write some information on the door and don't turn off the light when we knock..

Reserved for today, stood in front of the front doors, felt like we were being watched from the restaurant as we talked to neighbors.

Very poor service and quality of food. Too bad

Were there today at 3:30 p.m. It wasn't the first time, but there's a reason for that. The food was really delicious and the host was friendly and accommodating as usual. Had a cordon bleu style steak, which was cooked almost perfectly. Always my pleasure. The ambience is very cozy, thanks to the many beautiful brick arches. If you plan a visit during lunchtime, I recommend reserving a table at this time, as the restaurant is then very empty and you don't find yourself standing in front of a locked door, as some people have described here. Otherwise great!

We have been happy to be on the podium for decades and are always satisfied. I was shocked to realize that I have never written a review!

Based on recommendations, we wanted to eat at El Paso today (Friday). Lt. Homepage Opening hours continuously from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., except Wednesdays. No sooner said than done. When we got there at 4:30 p.m. we found that the El Paso seemed to be closed. However, no reference to this. Even on the menus posted at the restaurant there is a note saying “open all day from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.” Another family stood just as perplexed in front of the blinds that were drawn and the interior lights on. We then decided to go to another restaurant in the neighboring town. It's a shame El Paso...We would have loved to eat with you. But unfortunately this attempt was the first and at the same time the last for us. We will no longer drive the 20 km to you in Oberhausen. PS: With such a clear and well-structured homepage, it should be easy to adjust the opening times. And a notice at the restaurant as well. Therefore unfortunately only 1 star.

Too bad they don't speak English

Super tasty 😋 the staff is friendly 😊 I feel super comfortable, the food is really good, super good

We've been there for the fourth time now and we still think it's nice. I had a skewer of "Budapest" pork fillet on a skewer from the grill with gypsy sauce, fries and salad. The food was simply brilliant. Super tender and great seasoning. 👍 The staff was very friendly and attentive despite it being quite fully booked today. It's better to make a reservation for the weekend. The prices are okay, you can't complain. Unfortunately there is no parking space at the restaurant. The only thing that helps is searching and luck. There's only one thing I can say: "We'll definitely be back."

Had dinner again after a long time and it was still as good as before.

Very tasty and friendly service

A very good restaurant, I can only recommend it.

Very cozy and delicious food!!!

The selection on the menu is very large, as are the portions, and the food was really tasty. The staff are very attentive, polite and helpful.

A very warm and welcoming atmosphere with fantastic food.

Good value, good fresh honest food, always make a foreigner welcome.

Very tasty food with portions to fill you up. We've enjoyed eating here for years!

Was there again after a long time. I remembered it better than it did for me now. Maybe it was just better before, or I've become picky. Food was ok but not a burner for me.

We dined there for my friend's birthday and the service was really excellent. There is a salad buffet there. I think it's good that everyone can choose what they like. The main course and coffee were excellent. I can really recommend it if you want to celebrate a birthday with the family.

The menus are very varied and tasty. The staff is very nice and professional. We had above-average portion sizes, which is why we unfortunately couldn't manage dessert - but we'll definitely make up for it 😊 I'm looking forward to the next time 😊

Unfortunately some of the food was cold or burnt. Service OK. For the price, if I had paid it I would be upset.

Unfortunately the quality of the food has deteriorated significantly, in the past we always ate there once a week before our gambling evening, now unfortunately we have been disappointed twice in a row, the Cevapcici were tasteless and not properly cooked, the Raznjici had a meat quality of 10 Score a 2. The rice wasn't fluffy but a kind of lump. Small conclusion, despite the fact that nothing has been changed in the interior design for more than 20 years, but that is not the deciding factor BUT the food has become significantly worse, we will, for better or for worse, look for another restaurant. very unfortunate!

Great quaint restaurant with a great ambience, nice staff and the food was excellent. There is a large selection of food and drinks and the price/performance ratio is also good. Absolutely recommended 👍🏻

All in all quite okay. Menu very meat-heavy.

We were there on July 27th. there for the second time, this time with 4 people. It was again a very warm welcome, the service was top and the food anyway. Thank you.

Very cozy, tasty and inexpensive!

Everything was great, but the seasoning could have been a little better And Pomerania partly swam in fat still

We have been coming here occasionally for years and have never been disappointed.

We have been guests for over 15 years. The service is great, the food is always hot and tasty. The lunch menu is highly recommended for those on a smaller budget. GLG to the team

The service is ALWAYS friendly and considerate at all times, no matter how many guests there are! 👍 Orders are brought to the customer quickly, ensuring that all guests sitting at the table receive their order at the same time. Great importance is also placed on ensuring that guests with empty glasses do not have to wait long for a new drink. In my opinion, the prices for food and drinks are extremely reasonable! There is nothing to complain about in terms of taste! The plates are lavishly filled and beautifully presented. 😊 In my opinion, this restaurant deserves the 1st place in Oberhausen! 🥇 Best regards, Patti

Good location. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Recommended.

Good toilet, had diarrhea of ​​death👍

Old Yugoslavian, Croatian Slovenian cuisine. Large portions but everything like it was 40 years ago. Unfortunately! Nothing new

Stable shop, everything is very pleasant, service is fast, all wishes are taken into account, all dishes are well crafted and taste great. Clear recommendation!

Friendly staff. Price and performance are okay. Very good cuisine.

Good food and price-performance ratio, reasonably sized portions

Very pleasant and cozy, very friendly.

Food tastes very good, staff very friendly and nicely decorated. Can only be recommended.

Once come burger good once bad I have never understood why

Best Wiener Schnitzel in Town Big Portions that will fill up the hungriest. Top service and atmosphere I can highly recommend to give it a visit. Top notch

Friendly service, lunch, several meals to choose from and the price is okay.

Service and service were very friendly, the food we ordered tasted very good.

Good tasty food. 😋 very nice staff. I recommend the lunch menu, here you can save a few euros for good food.

Old-established restaurant with friendly service and good quality food.

Were there again for a family celebration. And as always, everything was top. The food was wonderful. The service was great. The prices were reasonable. We always feel very comfortable. Even for the very young guests, nothing was left to be desired. Thank you, see you next time .

Simply always good. You can't go wrong there. But many people know this, so make a reservation in advance.

Very good food and service. We recommend. Ambience a bit old-fashioned.

Very large portion. Delicious . Especially sauces and appetizers. Service very accommodating.

Extensive menu, delicious salad bar, but sullen service and very noisy.

Good food at a good price. However, too few staff and service takes too long. Waiting for over an hour before asking for drinks or food again is simply too long. And it's far too warm in the rooms.

As always everything is fine...
