Eppendorfer Grill-Station in Hamburg

The grill may be a cult favorite, but even without the show, the owner is very welcoming and the food is amazing. It's great that places like this still exist. Huge respect.

The best tomato salad ever. A changing selection of delicious daily specials. A Hamburg institution.

cult snack bar, everything was great, - only parking was hard to find

Very authentic snack bar, very nice staff, super friendly, absolutely recommendable 👍

Great food, extremely friendly staff

I've been going there to pick up food for years, and the food has always been top-notch! Lately (2023-?), they've even been having trouble getting the fries to be edible. Lots of hard toothpick sticks (formerly potatoes ;-) spoil the hungry meal. The schnitzels are made of breadcrumbs, and everything else is well-cooked, meaning dry and hard. It's a real shame...but maybe I'm just an isolated case with a lot of bad luck. I'd rather not try again. The snack bar lives off the "Dittsche has been there," but the quality has suffered a bit. It's true that critics are bad, but...I would have liked to have described it more positively.

It was wonderful to eat at Dittsche's original film location. The service was very good. The customers were very friendly, all smiling and happy about their day. The food was wonderful, incredibly tasty, and quite filling. So, honestly, it was the best snack bar I've ever eaten at.

Having or being? It‘s a fundamental question that all of us are answering in their day to day by the way we live. There are those striving to accumulate, mostly materialistic possessions. Things. Clutter. And then those who have freed themselves from the urge to possess, those opting to simply be in the world. Obviously, simply being is the more difficult pursuit, as it requires us to live with our thoughts, to tolerate the ruling monkey mind and avoid chasing something that keeps one busy, but rarely happy or satisfied for long. Having requires chasing something, needing to change the status quo, not accepting what is. Being, on the other hand, implies one‘s presence, acceptance and realizing that whatever appears simply appears. Philosophers and neuroscientists alike remind us that consciousness is experience itself. And being able to experience more clearly is one benefit of meditation. The confused reader may now wonder: „Are all those guests eating Currywurst and fries enlightened beings, meditating on their mortality while working actively on it?“ For the author of this essay, this seems highly unlikely. But what is likely is that taking more time in one‘s life to visit Eppendorfer Grill-Station is one way of being more present in this world, of being less distracted, less judgmental, less on the hunt for whatever one currently thinks one wants. By eating at Eppendorfer Grill-Station, one fully surrenders to the moment. One simply is. Read „Haben oder Sein“ by philosopher Erich Fromm for a more detailed account of the topic.

Hello, I have a complaint. Last Sunday, I was treated very badly and racially abused by a woman serving my order. She was rude, aggressive, and racist. This wasn't the first time I've been mistreated by this woman, who works at this Eppendorf Grill Station. Eppendorfer Weg 172. This woman is one of the worst people there is.

Quaint snack bar with excellent quality + great operators

Delicious food. Friendly service. But I didn't see Ingo or Dittsche. Simply cool.

That's how grilling should be! Very fresh, super tasty, fries, Wiener Schnitzel, bean salad excellent

TOP STORE for home-cooked meals!

Cool service and a truly delicious lunch! Fried eggs on point!

Back to the 80s and munching on the CWP barrier in a movie set. Simply iconic and delicious. Nothing more is needed.

It seems to be a cult classic, especially appealing to regular customers. For whatever reason. Deep-fried bratwurst... seriously? Half a chicken fart is dry, too salty, and has a soggy skin. The fries are still acceptable. At least they're cold Astra Knolle.

Currywurst, fries, mayo, delicious 😋

The most amazing rotisserie chicken and friendly service. A local gem.

The best currywurst in Hamburg and top-notch red/white fries at an unbeatable price. Perfect—what more could you want?

An extremely sturdy and honest currywurst!

I was looking for Ditsche. I desperately need him. But he's coming to Bremen.

A truly quaint snack bar. Just like the old days. Super delicious. The lady there was super nice. Unfortunately, we were just passing through, otherwise we'd go there more often. 😋😊

Nothing to complain about, a rustic snack bar like in the good old days

I liked the atmosphere. Easy and unpretentious, with a old fashioned vibe

Very tasty currywurst with fries.

Delicious food and friendly service.

We were tourists in Hamburg on May 1st, 2025 and chose Dittsche's cult snack bar "Eppendorfer Grill" for dinner. It's hard to find words to express the disappointment we've experienced. I don't need to discuss the hospitality experienced by the operators in advance because it wasn't there. To eat. We ordered grilled chicken with fries. It would almost have been positive that our order was processed promptly. Unfortunately, both the grilled chicken and the French fries were completely inedible and almost entirely ended up in the trash, even after minimal sampling. The french fries were not golden yellow, but fawn brown, full of fat and completely seasoned (overheated and over-fried french fries are known to be unhealthy and carcinogenic) and the grilled chicken left the impression of a mummy. Our impression the chicken was grilled 3 days ago and kept warm every day since then. The breast meat was as dry as straw, the thigh and wing were as if they had been plastinated. The complaint came to nothing. The staff was dismissive and unfriendly. Hamburg is a wonderfully beautiful city that we would love to visit again and again. However, we will steer clear of the Eppendorfer Grill in the future.

Very nice people there. Delicious food, with fair prices and good portions. Always my pleasure...

A rustic snack bar from another time...great! Nice staff and when the weather is good you can also enjoy the flair of the Eppendorfer Weg outside…

Just came from Berlin and wanted to eat here. The service has a rude tone. Was the only guest and ordered. Suddenly the store was full and the boss started processing all the take-out orders and I stood there like an idiot. I had the money given back to me. Never again. Berliners are much nicer.

A rustic snack that totally convinced me. The food is super tasty, there are also small portions of potato salad or children's fries for adults. The staff is super friendly. The prices are really awesome. I/we will definitely come back for the third time. Everything was great.

Super! Nice people, delicious food, fair prices. A pure world snack, let's say.

The food is always consistently good.

Very friendly, attentive and child-friendly staff, nice guests and delicious food. Everything fresh and prepared with love. Highly recommended! Atmosphere really like Dittsche's 👍🏼☺️

For years we have had an appointment in Hamburg at least once a year and then the Eppendorfer grill station when we are hungry at lunchtime is our destination because we know that the journey is worth it. The daily meals we have had so far have always been very tasty and the portions were more than enough for our stomachs. The curry sausages and schnitzel are also very tasty and are not standard frozen products from industrial mass production. I can recommend the Eppendorfer grill station with a clear conscience.

Cult. In addition, a very wide range of food and drinks. Friendly service.

Everything authentic! Very good

Best cult snack with a role model character in every respect

It still exists, the classic snack bar beyond kebab and Asian snack bar, and that in the elegant Eppendorf. The food is good and the service is friendly and hearty with quaint people behind the counter.

Stop for a snack. Solid honest food. Chicken from the grill, currywurst fries, potato salad and meatballs, plus a tuber from the fridge - that's how it should be. The demure charm behind the counter is free and anyone who complains can dress warmly. As I already wrote: that's exactly how it should be, even in a snack bar on Eppendorfer Weg. Love it.

One of the best snacks I know, the lunch menu is highly recommended!!!

Very good snack, everything fresh

A pure world snack, I would say...

Quick tasty food. I would say the best currywurst with fries.

I've eaten at the snack bar several times in the last few days and can only recommend the food! The staff also know exactly how to put a smile on children's faces. The atmosphere is very pleasant, and despite the many customers, the employees remain calm, calm and have everything well under control!

I've known this great snack bar for 17 years. The cult show 'Ditsche' was once filmed there. The owner Oli is a great guy. The first time I ate there in 2006, I ordered Jägerschnitzel with fried potatoes and a side salad. Whenever I was there, I never ordered anything else. Everything freshly prepared, no industrial schnitzel... just delicious... cult... just cult

It's pure Muggleness. I've been there twice now, everything was very tasty, but I always had to pull myself together so that I didn't stand around grinning the whole time and watching Dittsche shortly beforehand isn't a good idea either. :-D The last time I wanted to grab the poker for the sausage, I immediately thought of the episode in which Dittsche sweeps down the container. I'll be back in two weeks after my SeeForFree tour.

Small snack bar with fame and tradition. You will receive a Nordic-friendly welcome here. The ambience is rustic and historically grown. Small memories of Ditsche can be discovered everywhere here. The food is great and the currywurst is particularly recommended. Price-performance is definitely still right here, because you get a decent portion on your plate.

It's always a pleasure to come to the Eppendorfer Grill. Half a chicken with fries and a cold drink on one of the benches outside with the sun on your face - it couldn't be better. The food is always delicious, the service is always straightforward and friendly and the shop as a whole is simply honest. No wonder Dittsche feels so comfortable here.

Unfortunately, when we were there you couldn't pay by card, so our purchase only amounted to two drinks. But still nice to see where Dittsche was filmed. The atmosphere is great and there was a lot going on, even though we were only there around 8 p.m.

One of the best grill stations / snack bars in Hamburg. Fries are always perfect and tasty, currywurst is also convincing. The employees are usually not in a good mood, so if you want a warm or friendly welcome, you should go somewhere else. But the food easily makes up for that.

Anyone who knows Dittsche has to go to the grill station at least once. The food was good - fast food. It's not comfortable there, but it's still cult.

If you're lucky, you'll get a seat. If you're lucky, even outside... It smells fresh and delicious of baked chicken and fresh fat, which you use to fry the delicious French fries that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Everything is very clean and the perfect-looking chicken rotating on the skewers also stimulates the appetite. Price performance is okay. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit if that chicken and fries craving calls for it

Once again delicious 😋 Chili from lunch 🛎

Nice atmosphere, humane prices. Always my pleasure

Unfriendly service and not very inviting

I had fries with mayo and curry sauce. Plus some coleslaw. Tasted good. Unfortunately Dittsche wasn't there. 🤪 It's nice to sit outside. This is what a chip shop should be like.

Always a happy stop when visiting Hamburg!! What great people there are behind the counter.

Great grill and great cook, everything grilled to perfection, friendly and great

World snack. And really tasty!!

I really like being there because everything is just right. The food is simply delicious and the service is always friendly. I enjoyed traveling from North Rhine-Westphalia to Hamburg for this.

We went here because of the nostalgia. My German husband has to explain the poop culture reference, and his family loved the idea of us going. It wasn't too crowded, despite it being a nice day. We did have to sit inside, though. We just split the Currywurst and fries, plus a couple drinks. It was actually a decent Currywurst, though the flavors of Currywurst just aren't for me. The fries were very standard takeout fries.

Chicken is good but service sucks. Lost count of how many times over the years I‘ve pitched up there well within their opening hours but was sent away because it was apparently already ‚Feierabend‘.

The food was excellent. German home cooking

Good Morning, I had 2 chickens packed yesterday Afternoon they were through Neither crispy, juicy, fresh Really burned just rubbish sory. Thank you very much

Their consistently yummy juicy grilled chicken with French fries is my favorite quick option for lunch. Not so much into their Currywurst, but I am in the Berlin style Currywurst camp. Service is always friendly and efficient. Sitting on the window high chairs inside at one of the tables outside one can watch street life in especially with small families popular Hoheluft Ost”.

4.10 the currywurst - served cold! Not recommended #hyped

That used to be the BEST GRILL ever...there's nothing left of it...I was a regular customer for a long time, that's over now

Excellent! The food was absolutely amazing. Fresh and super tasty. Highly Recommended. Price & performance grade 1!

Great currywurst and nice service. Honest and authentic shop. Absolute recommendation.

Cult snack bar - visited out of curiosity and ate currywurst/ fries... very, very tasty... nice staff - cult status rightly so 👌

Jonas was here, so the snack was great

Very tasty, friendly and reasonably priced

I guess I was unlucky: worst food, unfriendly staff, little food for a lot of money, you probably have to pay for the hype. I was there twice: the first and the last time‼️🥴 Much ado about nothing...

We came especially from Stade to eat at “Dittsche” and we were thrilled. Nice staff and I've had really tasty currywurst fries at a fair price for a long time 👍🏻

Very very tasty, very friendly and great prices. There is nothing better in this area!

Hello, the best grill station with many celebrities visiting in the past. - Friendly employees and good snacks with changing lunch options at fair prices; The half chicken and various types of currywurst with French fries and ketchup were particularly tasty :)

Best snack, best team. Here we don't just sizzle and fry, we also cook properly (lunch), e.g. Labskaus, stuffed cabbage etc. Thank you for often improving my blood sugar level and my mood. Please leave everything exactly as it is :-*

Einfach Kult und immer hervorragender Mittagstisch. Hausgemacht

Netter kleiner legendärer Imbiss in Hamburg, Eimsbüttel. Zu empfehlen 1/2 Hähnchen, Currywurst und Haxe.

Wir haben schnell unser Essen für 4 Personen erhalten, obwohl es Recht voll war. Lecker war's auch!

Old School Imbiss im besten Sinne. Einwandfreie Qualität. Zivile Preise. Halbes Hähnchen vom Grill lecker gewürzt, saftig und knusprig. Flottes und trotzdem freundliches Personal. Eine Mitarbeiterin glänzte mit exquisiter Kenntnis skandinavischer Tanzmusik.

Immer lecker und reichhaltig und selbst bei großem Aufkommen haben die Jungs alles im Griff. Obwohl der Laden schon ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen ist, ist der Imbiss für mich immer noch Anlaufpunkt, wenn ich in Hamburg Hunger habe.

Ich kann diese Lokalität, sehr empfehlen ! Das Essen, hat sehr gut geschmeckt und die Preise, sind mehr als fair. Schnitzel, Pommes, Currywurst oder Hähnchen, dazu ein schönes Pils. Mehr braucht der Mensch nicht ! Ich für meine Person war mehr als sehr zufrieden !

Leckeres Essen und sehr nettes Personal

Ein Imbiss wir er sein sollte. Hab hier noch nie "schlecht" gegessen, die Preise sind auch während Corona immer fair geblieben und selbst wenn die Belegschaft in Stress ist, bekommt man das als Kunde nicht zu spüren.

Sehr leckeres Essen zu guten Preisen!!!

Место где я попробовал лучшую курицу гриль. Очень вкусно и быстро. Рекомендую. Мне очень понравилось.

Ultra cooler Mitarbeiter. Die Currywurst kann mit denen in Berlin leider überhaupt nicht mithalten. Aber wenn man schon mal in der Gegend ist, muss man das mal erlebt haben.

Dittsche Fan von der ersten Staffel... Gruß aus Schleswig Holstein 🗾

Authentisch anders. Sach ich ja.

Titel: Leckere Currywurst und schneller, freundlicher Service! Wir waren schon öfter hier und sind jedes Mal begeistert von der leckeren Currywurst und den knusprigen Pommes. Die Currywurst schmeckt authentisch und ist einfach köstlich. Der Service ist immer schnell und sehr freundlich, was den Besuch noch angenehmer macht. Wir kommen immer gerne wieder in dieses Restaurant, da wir wissen, dass wir hier eine wirklich gute Currywurst bekommen und der Service einfach top ist. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Trotz Betrieb ,gings flott und war gut .👍und lecker .

Einfach geil! Seit +10Jahren Stammkunde! Fantastische, Mega Menschen am Tresen ❤️

Ditsche war wirklich gestern, heute kann man da eigentlich nicht mehr lecker Essen, es ist leider so, das Schnitzel, halbes Hänchen, minderwertig geworden, schmeckt man, der Kartoffelsalat ging noch, also unterm Strich, fettig, salzig, naja vielleicht ist es das was einige Menschen noch mögen, Pommesbude in einem Laden halt. Meins ist es nicht mehr, wenn es wenigstens noch schmecken würde, kann ja auch lecker sein mal, aber Preise hoch Und Qualität runter ist immer schlecht, dann nimm noch 2,3 euro mehr (€10 für ein Essen ist so Schnitt), oder €5 aber bitte mehr Qualität. PS: der Chef ist sympathisch

Bestes Brathähnchen, das ich in HH kenne...

Essen immer lecker 😋 ich liebe die Pommes da

Erste mal dort gegessen, war lecker mehrere Sorten Currywurst waren lecker mit dicken Pommes 👍 Grillhähnchen war saftig und frisch. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

Kultisch, nett und super lieb zu Kinder

Kult. Schon klar. Das halbe Hähnchen war allerdings sehr sehr trocken. Nicht so prickelnd. Vielleicht nur einen schlechten Tag erwischt. Schade.
