Erika's Eck in Hamburg

Nice 80's atmosphere, breakfast was great.

Huge portions, nice service. Young and old, night owls and local politicians meet here - almost around the clock! Erika's Eck is an institution.

Best shop in Hamburg. Went there on Saturday without a reservation because we were nearby. Actually we wouldn't have been able to get a place, but the staff made the impossible possible. We'd love to come back from far away for that 👍

Nice home cooking 🥰🍻 Highly recommended for nighttime hunger too!

The portions are huge and very tasty. The ambience is great. We'd love to come back 👍🏻

Just ordered half was forgotten 2 whole schnitzel menus, then no one answers the phone. And I'm stuck with the costs. Great!

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be... Food has deteriorated. Furnishings are broken, dilapidated... never again. It's a shame...

Very nice staff. Good German food. Recommended

Like it or not, it has retained its original charm. The portions are really huge and the schnitzels are great. Price-performance ratio is also right. It is advisable to reserve a table, always gladly

Great shop in the heart of Hamburg, great value for money, large portions, nice staff, happy to come again. And meatballs the size of your hand.

Best service! Honestly without much hesitation 🧡

The food is delicious and rich. If we are in Hamburg again, we will definitely come back

Great food, good price. Woman ( servant) could be friendlier

The service is really super friendly and attentive – big praise to the team! The food may not be gourmet, but it's absolutely fine for the late hour. The same applies to the drinks. Thank you for the warm service and the nice attention!

The best restaurant I have ever eaten in Germany. The atmosphere inside is great, like a scene from a European movie. The food is all delicious, even the baked broccoli with cheese is delicious. Of course, the German sausage and the smoked fish steak are both must-orders.

If you're hungry at night, you have to stop here. Life is raging here. Food quite OK.

Nice little shop. Unfortunately the service was a bit annoyed when we were there. But later we picked her up and the typical Hamburg smile was there. Unfortunately, the glasses were not always filled to the mark. Therefore one star less. Sorry for that. You should pay attention to it often. Otherwise everything was fine. Thanks.

A visit to Erika's Eck is part of any stay in Hamburg. Even when it gets busier, the girls remain friendly and keep an overview. And the food is absolutely outstanding.

Classic Hamburg cuisine. Real and good. Recommendation and thumbs up! 👍

Great portions for an acceptable price. Drinks great! Everything as always. 😍

There's no schnitzel from the deep fryer here, just deliciously prepared food! The currywurst is also highly recommended!

Put bacon on the fried potatoes, then it's five stars!

Typical Hamburg corner pub with a delicious menu and friendly staff. The ambience is Gelsenkirchner Baroque, rustic, old but cozy. Just go there and enjoy delicious food from schnitzel to sour meat, something for everyone.

We went to the restaurant for dinner on the recommendation of a colleague The pub is quaint and original and you immediately feel at home Our relationship was friendly and on the ball and drinks and food were delivered quickly The food, super tasty and very large portions at fair prices Riding the bus was great! To pay you have to go to the counter, the lady there was extremely rude and ruined the lovely evening. How can you be so rude to your guests!? Conclusion: everything is great, you have to be prepared to pay. If you know that, you can adapt to it

I've never seen such a big meatball. And the taste is gigantic, with fried potatoes and paprika sauce. Unique. Awesome. The schnitzels are gigantic.

In any case, an insider tip and very good value for money

On January 23rd, 2025 I traveled by train to Erika's Eck. The Sternschanze S-Bahn station is just a few minutes' walk away. I became aware of this iconic pub through a report on N3. And what can I say... I wasn't disappointed. I was welcomed in a typical North German way. A warm “Moin” and nothing more is needed. That says everything. 😀 The food was very tasty and was served quickly and hot. The portion was more than enough. The ambience is very iconic. Hopefully nothing ever changes, because that's exactly how it is. I can fully recommend Erika's Eck.

Delicious food for craftsmen and the rest of course too. German cuisine. Nice service.

Schnitzel 6/10 Fried potatoes 10000000000/10🫡

Looks nice, but in recent years the food has become really bad. Meat completely unseasoned and without any taste, for the price you can get better deals in many places. Staff very quaint and nice, nice ambience but food... Well...

I've just been traveling on a tour bus for 3 weeks and the Swedish colleagues said that the waitress was pretty "angry" as they could only speak English and that a delivery person had been told to take off his dirty shoes. I thought that was good and went there promptly. I had to say no to the lady at the counter's question about the reservation, whereupon the mood that I had been promised was very subdued. As a Viennese and therefore, according to widespread opinion, a terrible person, I had to be able to deal with it. Contrary to popular experiences here, as a single person, I immediately got a table at 7:30 p.m. that could have accommodated 5 well-paying guests. The lady, yes, she was a little bold at first, but you don't have to be flattered all the time. Just as it can be cold in winter and hot in summer. I had to test the food solely because of my origins - I hardly eat schnitzel at home anymore. I thought the German version with pepper sauce was great, the fried potatoes were more like a “G’röstl” with bacon and onions, so even better! Then a luxuriously decorated German-style apple strudel. Powerful, magnificent. The good lady now smiled really sweetly. Very likeable - really. If you only think luxurious 5-star restaurants are good, you're wrong here. It's a schnitzel shop, with an ambience and furnishings that I see increasingly giving way to identity-less system catering in Austria, much to my chagrin. Any time! No luxury - just in the eye of the beholder.

It's actually a great old Hamburg veteran restaurant. Classic German schnitzel cuisine. Service is good.. The new management has become really expensive.. BUT The reservation is mega negative since the new management. Reserved a certain part in August and simply moved it somewhere else without asking.. Directly to the drafty door.. And no communication with management.. No response to emails, no callbacks. This is the last one, and our last celebration there. Definitely not recommended... In general, I would say don't go there at all and if you do, then only order via delivery service so that they charge huge fees... As a neighbor, I was a loyal fan of the store... Partying here and there again and again for many years.. But not anymore.. He's definitely made a mistake. THIS is how you destroy a veteran. It's a shame...

You have to visit Erika's Eck in Hamburg. I have rarely seen such a cult restaurant. It takes you back a bit to old times. The food was just great. And the atmosphere was great.

The schnitzel was wonderful. It was affordable and the portion was huge. I came here with a bunch of friends. They had no problem finding a table, even though the place was crowded and the service was very quick.

Moin Folks, hier ist die Kultur echtes Programm, alles ehrlich und authentisch. Alles einfach sehr geil, eine Institution in Sachen „Futtern, ja wie bei Muttern“ und Preis/Leistung passt 👍 👍👍👍👍👍 Der Inhaberwechsel, man spürt es nicht, hier die Öffnungszeiten in Bildern……….

If you like schnitzel, this is the place for you ❤️

Cult restaurant in the Schanze, Erika always goes! You have to be lucky to get a seat here at lunchtime. Today it worked, we had schnitzel Holstein style and a beer. You can also get gypsy schnitzel here or a currywurst. Friendly 💁 service and a rustic atmosphere in the Schanze!

When we entered the restaurant we were asked in an unfriendly tone if we had made a reservation, even though the restaurant was almost empty. After we said no, we were told to wait, but the waitress concentrated on all other tasks instead of assigning us a table. After 7-10 minutes of waiting and asking again if anything else was going to happen, we finally left the restaurant. The service seemed disinterested and uninviting.

Not what it used to be. Schnitzel for 20 euros and you can read the newspaper. Fries become mud because under the schnitzel. Service unfriendly and annoyed. There is no such thing as a please or a thank you. It's a shame if you remember the store differently

Top shop with casual food. Schnitzel with fried potatoes is simply top.

Food & drink top. Wellness area very clean

Great corner pub with fantastic food. Big portions! Were there for the first time, but definitely not the last.

A rustic pub, just as you would expect. The food is delicious and the portions are more than reasonable for the prices. The drinks are also affordable. The clear specialty here is the schnitzel in various variations. For December 31st We were even able to reserve a table for 9 people. Top. Thank you for the hospitality and the delicious food. Keep it up.

Very great pub located in the middle of the Schwanzenviertel. The pub is culture and has been around for a very long time. The staff is helpful and very friendly. The food on offer is very good and reasonably priced. And the food is also very clean.

Das Lokal bietet klassische Gerichte zu vernünftigen Preisen und das praktisch rund um die Ihr. Sollte man mal ausprobiert haben.

Schnitzel was super big and tasty.

Food was good and plenty. However, tables were also placed directly at the door where we had to sit in a draft because everyone who came in left the door open

Absolutely recommended, awesome pub. Great and fast service, the food was extremely tasty and huge portions. We hadn't made a reservation but were able to spontaneously get a place for two people. Reservations should definitely be made, the great service made a lot of things possible, but at some point people had to be turned away. Our dog wasn't a problem either and was allowed to come along.

Gladly again! Wanted something other than constant burgers, kebabs and pizza. That’s how we came across Erika’s Eck. Large portions, everything fresh, delicious beer, nice service. Unreserved recommendation 🙏

Cult pub with the best opening hours in the world! You can always stop here, whether to burn off, sink in or have your last beer before bed. Great staff, always Hamburg-friendly! Top! Highly recommended!

We booked the table at 7 p.m. Now we thought, let's come earlier because we were hungry. We opened the door and then the nice little waitress came to us and asked, have we reserved? My answer is yes, but only at 7 p.m., we are hungry and wanted to go earlier. The lady’s annoying look says “no”. Ok then we'll come back in 40 minutes. There were only 3 guests sitting in the corner and everything else was free. Then we arrived at 6:55 p.m., the question was...Have you made a reservation? Yes, we have it at 7:00 p.m. Then she gave us a table that was at the counter/kitchen passage. The order was not asked at the table but was taken 2 meters behind the counter. The smaller waitress was always annoyed, kept sending people away, rolled her eyes and wrapped the ringing phone, which actually rang 50 times, in a towel😂and the craziest thing of all was: the little older waitress cleared a table and went to her colleague with 5 plates got stuck in the passage and everything flew to the floor. The air was crazy😂, I was almost on the floor laughing, my friend said sorry in embarrassment. The waitress answered..Oh, you're not wide at all and keep your hands to yourself now....🤣It wasn't his fault, if they sat us down at the passage, you should expect plates to fall. When it came time to pay, she had received a tip of between 4 and 5 euros from us, and there was no thank you... It gave the impression that it could be taken for granted... That wasn't very nice either... And when you're constantly frustrated and don't have any friends In this nice, iconic restaurant you should probably think about doing something different, because it's not good for everyone. Or maybe that was North German humor😊…But it wasn't all bad in there, the other waitress was super nice and friendly and could laugh sometimes. The food was very, very tasty. We will definitely come back and then at the reserved time and not an hour earlier😂

They sat us at a broken table that constantly shakes and you can't eat on it. The drinks spilled on the table and they didn't want to move us. The restaurant is very small and dirty; it's not worth spending your money there. There are much nicer restaurants.

Absolute cult pub with great homemade food, whether it's a schnitzel, steak or meatball, anything goes here, it's simply delicious. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Hamburg. In 2024 we made it here again after almost four years and what can I say, nothing has changed, it's still just as good as before.

Another visit to the cult pub and restaurant Erika's Eck, which was very well attended in the evening, as usual, delicious food and plenty of it. The service team on a Saturday was relaxed and calm and yet everything was served relatively quickly and we still asked if everything was OK. It was a nice evening, everything was perfect, thank you very much. Had lunch with friends from outside, it was again delicious and plentiful. Going to Erika's Eck for lunch or at other times is an experience; local residents, craftsmen, business people and much more come here. You have to know that the program is meat-heavy, tasty and there are large portions.

Price-performance ratio unbeatable

Classic, delicious, simple, nice, regular recommendation!

Was recommended to me as a pub where you can still get good food after 10 p.m. And that's it. The corner bar is supposed to be from the market and the market people come to eat later and then they need something.

Cozy restaurant with a pleasant ambience. Super nice and pleasant service and the food was great. Haven't eaten so well in a long time and at more than fair prices. Thank you and see you next time.

A Hamburg original. Perfect for anyone who arrives in Hamburg in the middle of the night, comes home from partying or is simply hungry at night.

We ate there with our grandchildren on a recommendation. Ate roast beef with fried potatoes. So delicious 😋, we can highly recommend it. Ambiance and atmosphere, service all in one just super great.👀👍🥰

We were there on December 18th. Eating with a total of 6 people at Erikas Eck. The kitchen offers solid, home-style dishes that are tasty, but nothing extraordinary. The prices are reasonable for Hamburg standards - for example, a plate of schnitzel costs just under €19. An important note: A table reservation is absolutely necessary, especially if you want to eat with several people. Nothing works here without a reservation. We had to experience this ourselves when we spontaneously wanted to stop by as a couple. We were sent away straight away, unfortunately in a rather rude manner. Conclusion: Suitable for a meal with home-style cooking and fair prices, but the service could definitely be friendlier and more flexible. Be sure to reserve in advance!

If you are a guest in Hamburg... you have to go to Erika's Eck... We recommend the delicious schnitzel variants, simply delicious and huge portions... and the service is always nice and friendly... keep it up, we'll be back... greetings Heiko

Great cozy restaurant, delicious food, fair prices and nice people. 👍🏻

Simply fantastic, we were there today and can highly recommend Erika's Eck.

Very good food. Cozy. Very nice staff. Family atmosphere.

Quaint restaurant - delicious food! Drank delicious freshly tapped beer

Craziness You should have visited if you are in Hamburg Great staff Great service Eat deliciously

The roast beef is always delicious. Schnitzel was always superb too. Unfortunately I haven't eaten anything yet, even though I've been here several times. But if it tastes good 😀.

Typical German food. Menu only in German. Highly recommended!

Went to Erika's Eck yesterday with 20 people for the Christmas party... the food used to be better, the service was catastrophic; an older lady had to run the whole place. It would have been appropriate to have 3 service employees... very, very unfortunate. That was my last visit to Erika's Eck.

Food was very tasty. The service is extremely overwhelmed. Ambience there are much nicer offerings and also friendlier. The shop should be avoided if you are thirsty.

It was my first time there but definitely not my last, the food was delicious and the team was simply great 👍👍👍😀

Great food. Cozy atmosphere. Friendly, competent staff

After two attempts we got a place. The atmosphere is rustic, the service is friendly. The food was very tasty. The salad is crisp and fresh, the dressing is delicious. I really enjoyed my sour meat with fried potatoes. The portions are very generous and I couldn't handle my pickled meat. Conclusion: definitely worth a visit.

The food is good and plentiful. I had ordered a large portion of roast beef with fried potatoes and struggled to finish it. The staff tries to find free places, even if you haven't made a reservation, which is strongly recommended, especially on weekends.

Nice friendly staff! As always, the food is delicious! The next time I visit Hamburg I will eat with you again!

Historical trendy pub that you should definitely visit when you come to Hamburg.

Erika’s Eck has managed to transform itself from a dingy corner into a traditional, cozy restaurant with traditional Hamburg cuisine. The service staff is friendly. The food is good, the prices are fair. Freshly tapped beer, a good selection of drinks and food. The sanitary facilities are clean and well maintained. Recommended for locals and tourists who want to enjoy real traditional Hamburg cuisine in a cozy atmosphere.

I was there for the first time. Very tasty German food, huge schnitzels and top service. The noise level is a bit high when it's full, but I don't want to sit there for hours. It didn't bother me. Everything was great

Dear Erika team from this morning, thank you so much for making us such a great breakfast this morning and making extra fresh coffee even though we were actually a little late. We felt super comfortable 💕🙋‍♀️

Anyone who thinks they are discriminating against people with disabilities and then insulting them is not charming in the Hamburg-Irish way, but simply rude. I enjoyed eating here with friends and business partners under the old owner, and I will think twice about it in the future. The above statements can be proven with screenshots from an Instagram chat. Greetings according to the owner on Instagram the “stupid chatterbox”

Cozy atmosphere, friendly service and excellent food! The currywurst was spicy and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. The Wiener Schnitzel: tender meat, crispy and golden brown. Highly recommended – I would love to come back!

Dive bar kind of atmosphere specializing in various Jägerschnitzel dishes and other German comfort foods. This was my favorite meal in Hamburg.

Great ambience. Cult pub. Highly recommended

A great, rustic restaurant, if you can't get anything in other restaurants, it's a given that you can still get food and drink here after midnight and that's always been the case. Great food, price performance is still right. Nice service. It's nice that Erikas Eck still exists. Keep it up, I'll always be happy to come by.

Erikas Eck is an institution in Hamburg worth a visit.

Great schnitzel and stuff, big as a plate!!!

Rustic atmosphere with really delicious food! The schnitzels are awesome. What the ladies are throwing away in the bar is extreme. Respect! We'll be back

Nice restaurant and the staff were really friendly and helpful. The food is mid, but still worth a visit if you want a proper schnitzel. The portions are big which make it well worth the money. We arrived at around 19.30 just before the dinner rush and were lucky enough to get a table for an hour. Other people who came after us were not so lucky. So would recommend booking a table to avoid disappointment.

A typical restaurant bar for locals with good prices. The cuisine is simple, generous and good. The welcome is great. Traditional atmosphere which is not unpleasant in an eclectic city like Hamburg.

There with a lot of anticipation. Get in there. Looks comfortable. But there is no table for 1 person for dinner at 9 p.m. With free tables in the store. Poor performance.

Very tasty food at a good price

“Everything used to be better” is often people’s motto. It may have been different, but the ambience and atmosphere as well as good schnitzels with beer on tap remained. So I don't have the feeling that things have gotten any worse here. We received great service and it was very, very tasty - so it's still a place worth a visit.

The food was good - the service was completely overwhelmed... we waited almost an hour just for the drinks 🤔

Wonderful place. Familiar and good atmosphere, friendly staff and insanely affordable food!

A piece of Hamburg history, everyone is welcome "don't forget to make a reservation" even if you come alone and want to eat, definitely recommended before you are turned away because of tourists... very tasty and recommended (the slot machine doesn't work (:-)

Quite quaint and full of “history”. Recently, the employees there were a bit overwhelmed when it was full.

Simple but delicious dishes. Not a direct restaurant, but flair and charm...tradition on the ski jump....

Unfortunately, my boys and I cannot understand the predominantly positive reviews. We entered the location at 6:10 p.m. and were only served at around 6:40 p.m.! I can understand that it takes longer once the store is full. The waitresses walked past us several times with a spoon or napkins. In that time you could have at least said hello and taken the order. Well, it happened. Ultimately a waitress took care of us and took our order, which wasn't particularly complicated. It took another 15 minutes for our drinks to arrive. It cannot and should not happen that as a customer you have to wait around 50 minutes for a drink?! The food came... around 7:05 p.m.... wrong too. We won't come back.

Very nice service...unfortunately the food wasn't great...but we'll try it again
