Erika's Eck in Hamburg

The food was very good, nice classic pub

Huge portions Better to choose the seniors' plate. Friendly Super fast Open almost around the clock. A trendy pub for hungry late-night diners

Here you can eat the tastiest cutlets in Hamburg. The layout is a bit old-fashioned, but the service is excellent.

A safe bet for years, reservation makes sense, always happy to visit, price-performance ratio is right

You can't eat better than this. Just like your mother's.

Great schnitzel, good service and honest ambience:)

Yes Erikas Eck was very nice and the food was also delicious

Cozy converted corner pub. You wouldn't guess it. The food was delicious and plentiful. 100% value for money. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Hamburg. But this time I'll make a table reservation. It's better 😊

It was my first time there. The food was amazing, and the service was fantastic. We'd love to go back.

A cult pub with good food and delicious beer! When it's full, it gets hectic and very crowded! But that's part of the concept! The staff is friendly and competent!

Super quaint, authentic pub... Where else can you find something like this?... Reasonable prices... Quality far above average! We'd be happy to go again...

Highly recommended. Excellent service, delicious food. The menu is very varied.

The food and service were very good. Unfortunately, the presentation of the food wasn't optimal. The plates were too small. For example, the schnitzel was stacked on top of the side dishes. It's difficult to find a place to start without spreading the food all over the table. That was also the only minor criticism for our group. Also suitable for medium-sized tour groups. A good ending point for tours of the ski jump.

It's actually a nice, quaint, old shop serving regional German cuisine. While they've raised their prices considerably, it's still within the normal range. The 120g roast beef with fried potatoes for €19.50 is okay and tasted perfectly fine. What wasn't okay, however, was the incredibly unfriendly service yesterday. From the first moment to the payment process, it was simply unfriendly, irritating, and listless. It's a shame, because I would have loved to invite my guests there again in the future, but as it is, I'd rather go somewhere else.

Today we tried something new in Hamburg. Erika's Eck, the cult pub when it comes to schnitzel. Beautiful, quaint place, super friendly staff. We didn't have a reservation, and they quickly found us a seat. The decor is rustic and cozy. You immediately feel comfortable and welcome. The menu offers plenty of variety, so everyone should find something they like. The staff was super friendly and, above all, quick, even though the place was packed. The schnitzel was so delicious and, most importantly, freshly made. Nothing frozen. The breading was just like grandma's, crispy and perfectly seasoned. The sauce was also super delicious. The price was absolutely reasonable. 3 people, one main course each + 2 drinks each, €90. We'll definitely be back, and if you haven't been there yet, you should definitely do so. I highly recommend Erika's Eck.

Very tasty food, many variations of schnitzel. The atmosphere is partly due to the fact that the location has long been revered as a go-to spot for nights out in the neighborhood or in the Schanze district. It certainly lives up to its reputation. The service is good, albeit occasionally inexperienced, but that doesn't detract from the atmosphere.

The food was good. The menu is a bit confusing, saying salad or vegetables. I ordered salad, but I got both. Otherwise, the atmosphere is rustic. Good value for money. Huge portions!!!

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. I had to wait 30 minutes for a waiter to come over. The food was rather mediocre, but it had a nice pub atmosphere. All in all, I probably wouldn't go back.

Always happy to eat delicious food when we are in Hamburg

Iconic, very good menu and delicious food at a great price!!!😊😋👍👍

A true cultural asset. Simple but good home cooking. A small menu, good food, and huge portions. All in the charm of a 70s pub.

What a cool pub! Great food, competent servers, and nice people!

The right place for a really big appetite. Huge portions: lots of vegetables, a mountain of fried potatoes, and a gigantic cordon bleu. And it tasted good, too!

Went here on a hunch. Fantastic food, very friendly staff, all around great place to visit when you’re in Hamburg.

The typical local corner pub. Everything is cozy and simple—but that's what makes the pub special.

A true institution. Cult, authentic, original, delicious, and honest. Don't mess around and go there.

Erikas Eck, a Cozy Schnitzel Spot in Lively Schanzenviertel Lively Schanzenviertel is a tiny district brimming with cozy bars, vintage shops, and international restaurants set in colorful buildings. While walking and wandering through the area, I noticed a restaurant sign with a simple, small entrance door. Behind this unassuming door lies an establishment dedicated to schnitzels. The menu offers a variety of options, including pork schnitzel with different sauces, turkey schnitzel, and cordon bleu. Each dish features a very large schnitzel served atop fried potatoes with onions and pork ham cubes—delicious and generously portioned. Additionally, we tried the goulash soup, a creamy and flavorful dish packed with vegetables and tender chunks of meat, perfectly seasoned with paprika. The portion was satisfying, and the taste was excellent. The service was very friendly and helpful, adding to the pleasant experience. This is a great place that, if given the chance, I would happily visit again!

We stumbled upon it by chance, and despite it being very busy, we got a delicious meal (steak and schnitzel) quickly. Nice, robust ambiance and top service at a good price. Clearly recommend it...

A cozy and iconic restaurant. Extensive menu with good value for money. Very friendly service. We felt at home and will be back.

Friendly and real - as always, good 👍👍🙏

Hearty cuisine, professional, very friendly service...all at very reasonable prices. Reservations are recommended.

Awesome dive bar type place - the staff are friendly, the drinks are cheap, and the food look great. Definitely recommend!

Extremely unfriendly if you're not a regular. Food arrived much later than others, even though you ordered in advance. Never again

A quaint pub in the heart of Hamburg. Friendly staff and the food was excellent. Reservations are recommended, but the staff will try their best to accommodate spontaneous visits. 🫶🏽

The food was good, the staff friendly. I'll visit again.

Cult restaurant in Hamburg. Delicious

Just the way I love it: cult, delicious and hearty, always a must on every visit to Hamburg. The NDR documentary introduced me to the shop 😜.

The size of the schnitzel has been praised and photographed often enough. The taste is harder to describe. Paired with the fried potatoes, it's simply legendary. The same goes for the meatballs and the herring. Unfortunately, there was no room left for the red berry compote, which is surely just as good. We'll just have to come back to try it. Hopefully, this pub will remain a staple of the Schanzenviertel for a long time to come.

I'm visiting from Australia and I went to Ericka's Eck last night and it was amazing! I ordered a Wien schnitzel and it's the biggest schnitzel that I've ever seen!! It was delicious. I discovered this restaurant thanks to their Instagram video about rasierte Ärschlocher. 😂 10/10 would go again.

A real old pub with good home-style food, but like everywhere else the prices are still just in the green range

A "quaint" place. A truly rustic restaurant. What can I say: We spontaneously stopped by for dinner with six people. It was delicious, and the service was very friendly. I can only recommend it.

If you like schnitzel, you can't miss Erika's Eck. A Hamburg institution. Delicious, delicious, delicious.

We've been deliberately ignored for the past 30 minutes. This is what happens when you know nothing about the restaurant industry. We wish you continued success with Wolt.

Top Hamburg pub The schnitzels are excellent, the service is friendly and helpful, the atmosphere evokes the charm of an old Hamburg pub; an absolute must in the Hamburg Schanze district

Quaint atmosphere. Home-style cooking with delicious schnitzel. The portions are filling.

A must-do if you're in Hamburg. And especially if you live here. Good food, super friendly service, and: If you can't find a taxi late at night (keyword: Christmas party season in Hamburg), you're guaranteed to meet a taxi driver on a coffee break who'll give you a ride afterward. Win-win.

I've been there several times now and have never been disappointed. The food was always plentiful and delicious, and the table arrived quickly, even when it was busy. Since the change of management a while ago, they also accept card payments.

Great schnitzel at a reasonable price, considering the opening hours.

10 out of 5 stars, very nice staff, especially Monika 🫠

Good food, good service and reasonable price

We, "Die luftgekühlten aus Hardert e.V." [a VW Beetle Club from Neuwied near Koblenz], were visiting Hamburg from September 30th to October 3rd, 2022, and of course, paying a visit to the famous "Erika's Eck" was an absolute MUST! We had, of course, made a reservation via email for Sunday, October 2nd, 2022, as a precaution! Due to some minor misplanning on our part, we arrived quite early, and of course, our table wasn't available yet! However, the manager offered to bring us drinks outside... absolutely excellent service! Then a table was set up for us to sit at until our table became available... even more superb service! We then ordered our food, which was served very quickly and in a friendly manner! The food and drinks are absolutely delicious and tasty! The portions are huge and truly delicious! The price/performance ratio here is 100% perfect! We can only recommend "Erika's Eck," and anyone visiting Hamburg should definitely visit "Erika's Eck." Very, very friendly and attentive staff, delicious food, and good drinks [Ratsherrn Rot beer with cola... delicious]! We give it full marks... er, stars, and if there were more, we would give them too! Absolutely top-notch! We felt very comfortable and will definitely return to "Erika's Eck" on our next visit to Hamburg!

We both had schnitzel. It was very tasty 😋

Very quaint shop. Nice big portions and it tasted good too.

If you just want to fill up and feel cold, this is the right place for you. It's impressive how much indifference can be felt in a single visit to a restaurant. You go out to eat, not with excessive expectations, but simply with the desire to have a warm meal in a reasonably pleasant environment. That was obviously asking too much. The food was… there. Not bad enough to complain about - but not good enough to talk about either. You have eaten. Not more. No enjoyment, no joy. But at least you've had your fill. What really sticks is the feeling of just not being welcome. 30 minutes at the table without anyone even raising their eyes – that was the beginning. Afterwards: a table full of used dishes that were consistently ignored as if they would dissolve on their own. When we sat down - cold - at another place, we were informed that the table would no longer be wiped down. An explanation, no regrets. No action. You have to put in so much effort to make guests feel like their presence is a nuisance. This restaurant manages to leave you wondering whether you were expecting too much. But no – a minimum level of attention and respect is not an excessive demand. And that's exactly what was missing here. It's a shame about the time, money and energy that was wasted there. Never again. And I honestly hope that no one who values ​​hospitality has to go through the same experience.

We also tested this place because we used to have it from a blog. So we went there with expectations, but everything was more than sobering. I can only speak for the schnitzels here. Listed at approximately 250g. Of this, max 130g-150g of meat. The rest is breading that was fried too short and not hot enough. It was only cross on the edge, the rest was soaked with fat. Too bad, this ruins it. Next, seasoning, well, meat and probably the egg breading could have had a little more flavor. I'm not a trained cook myself, but my schnitzels are way tastier. I won't be a fan of yours. The vegetables, i.e. the Leipziger Allerlei, had zero taste. Warming it up in salt water or refining it with a little fondor would be another point. The dressing for the salad was good. But unfortunately not the main courses. Even the small handful of fried potatoes was not enough. Maybe the chef has a bad day or is listless with the throughput, but the quality and taste shouldn't suffer. At just under 20eu per dish, it should be fine. P.S. Adjust the prices on the website, they don't match the ones on site.

Old cult location where I enjoyed visiting as a student in the 80s. The special status has not changed to this day. I like to go there for breakfast. You can get two half rolls with roast beef and scrambled eggs as well as a pot of coffee for €5.60. Quality is simply top. At the bakery you pay twice as much and you don't get the same quality, but the classic cuisine from farmer's breakfasts to schnitzel and roulades doesn't leave much to be desired. It's definitely worth taking a look at the lunch menu. The opening times on Saturday weekends are entirely geared towards the scene. From 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. warm food. For some brave warriors who have done a little too much for the good, they go to Erika at escape speed to gain a little traction. Definitely visit. Check the times online beforehand because of course the boys need a bit of rest every now and then. I wish you a lot of fun with Erika.

Very friendly and the food is great

Top. Highly recommended. Price performance top. Mega portion, which is still rare today. Service top. What they do there is crazy. If Hanburg is visited, then also Erikas Eck.

Delicious Viennese style schnitzel

Every time I'm in Hamburg, Erika's Eck is a must. Great atmosphere and the food tastes really good. A must for people who want to eat well and yet love culture and tradition.

Simply cult, currywurst is great, just do it.

Service seemed overwhelmed, ordering and paying took a long time. Food rather below average: ready-made sauces, breading greasy and not crispy. We won't go there again

Great restaurant, fresh food, you are warmly welcomed

We really wanted to test it out. We were there and it was ok. Not worth the hype in my opinion. Have eaten better in other places.

Simple location, good service and very rich and good food at a very good price.

First-class fried potatoes... Just like grandma used to make

A true Hamburg original, there is nothing like it. a must, food is absolutely great.

Super tasty dishes and great prices.

Service: Fantastic, Food: Outstanding!! The best goulash soup in the world!! Just ate there again. Still one of the best restaurants of its kind in the world. Today Monika looked after me and I felt like I was at home. Monika is very friendly, efficient and experienced. I would also like to congratulate Chef Mostafa for the exceptionally delicious fried potatoes. A real professional in the catering industry. Thank you, Monika and Mostafa! Gerardo Hofmann

I can only recommend a rustic restaurant, very tasty food, friendly service, especially attentive service, but it's best to reserve in advance, we'll be happy to come back.

We were seated in the aisle and after 10 minutes and, of course, unfriendly service, we didn't even get the menus, we went back

There is really delicious food there. Can only be recommended!

Iconic excellent thank you very much for everything

Yep..... We were here for dinner during the week and even though we were the only guests, we were greeted harshly and given the table right next to the front door - with the words that everything was reserved 😅 The same thing happened to the two couples after us and even after 90 minutes not a single reservation came in... oh well🤔 The food came quickly and the portions were quite large, but not so large that you couldn't finish it. The prices are quite high for the dishes. I was reminded of a motorway rest stop: side salad from the bag, warmed fried potatoes and an old musty air in the shop.🫣 The older lady who served us was probably part of the inventory, but she was in a good mood. ☺️ I became aware of Erika's Eck through social media. Unfortunately, our conclusion is soberingly low - you don't need more than a one-time visit here 😉

Enjoy your meal. A typical corner pub where you can't go wrong. But I personally wouldn't travel extra for it.

What a great place! We found it by googling and we are super happy! The service is great there, everyone is super friendly! Plus delicious beer from the tap and the best part is the food! Good home cooking, super tasty! And the portions are so large that a seasoned man will be full. If I lived here, I would definitely be there more often.

Simply a legend in Hamburg, there's nothing more to say about it?

Top address and must-do program for every visit to Hamburg - a traditional restaurant that a lot of Hamburgers also visit. So it's not really touristy, although it is also a tourist attraction. You get a very good and plentiful selection of dishes here with an excellent price-performance ratio. German cuisine, so if you're looking for nouvelle cuisine, you've come to the wrong place. If you're lucky (some would call it unlucky) you can stumble into HSV's relegation celebrations here

On the second attempt we got seats in this quaint, beautiful pub. We felt at home as soon as we entered the restaurant. Audience very mixed. We also ate the famous huge and wafer-thin schnitzels (how are they made ;-). The (older) waitress obviously didn't have office hours when we visited :-) The toilets were new and clean! We found it disadvantageous that they charged €2.50 (!) for a "robber's plate" and that we didn't receive a receipt at the end. We were only told the amount to be paid. Nevertheless: we'll be back!

Fint lille tysk sted med masser af charme. Serveringen er personlig og imødekommende og maden er ganske udemærket. Dejligt sted når man på udkik efter en fin schnitzel.

Food was very tasty. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

Just like ever. Tasty and cheap. That's how I've known it forever. The wood paneling is still there. 😁

Just comfortable. You have to have been here. The currywurst is a hit. The meatballs are just awesome. The service is great, it's fun to chat with the waitress. Great team.. I think this is a little insider tip. It's just fun to eat there. If you are in St. Pauli, go there. It's really really cool. If you want to get to know simple, normal Hamburg. You definitely won't be disappointed. Cool is a simple hello, and then that's fine. I come from the immediate vicinity. I have been living and working in other German countries for over 30 years (Baden Württemberg) and I am always happy when I go back home. And then Eriks Eck is the first address.

Food at great prices that is also really tasty. You should always make a reservation, there is a lot of rush. But it's worth it.

We ate at Erikas Eck for the first time and thought it was great. Large portions, good price, great ambience. It is rustically furnished like it was in the 80s and 90s. You like it or you don't. We thought it was great. It was full, but still a pleasant atmosphere. Without a reservation it is difficult to get a seat. We will definitely come back next time we are in HH.

It was our first time there; it was recommended to us as an insider tip, and I can say it was definitely worth it. Hunter's schnitzel + extra sauce + fried potatoes Hawaiian schnitzel + fried potatoes Dessert: Cup Denmark Ice cream with hot raspberries It certainly won't be our last time eating there. PS: Please always make a reservation in advance.

Very good local German cuisine. Schnitzel, currywurst, farmer's breakfast, Strammer Max. Sandwiches. Fresh meat, Delicious roast beef, Scrambled eggs, roast pork, Fresh schnitzel rolls Etc. If you're hungry, go to Erika's corner. Ample portions Everything fresh. Daily changing lunch menu. All in all, good German home cooking

- Delicious - Top and always nice -Rustic but mega

Very tasty fresh dishes! Gladly again!

Good home cooking, well prepared, great taste, good portions, nice service, fair prices, what more could you want. Class!

We reserved a table for 6 p.m. and were seated directly in front of the counter. The staff was friendly and they addressed us informally. At this time, the tables were already well occupied. The food (Budapest schnitzel with fried potatoes) arrived very quickly after ordering. We didn't find the schnitzel particularly large, the sauce very tasty, and the schnitzel was average, but we've had much better. What's absolutely unacceptable...the schnitzel was placed on top of the fried potatoes, which we then had to remove from the schnitzel. It's not a cozy atmosphere here. Lines of people stretch from the counter (constantly standing at our table) all the way out into the street, trying to get a table. Without a reservation, it's almost impossible. We heard about Erika's Eck on TV and were excited to visit. Nice, but we won't be returning.

Sensational home cooking, Our waitress Monika was very pleasant and competent and had an open ear. Quaint restaurant, was very, very tasty. We were only visiting Hamburg, but we will come back on our next visit, we promise

Great food, very friendly service, insider tip for eating, great value for money, I can only recommend it if you are in Hamburg.

Always great. Delicious home cooking. Top

An institution for what feels like centuries 🥰

A nice and rustic restaurant or pub. The food was excellent.

l was at Erika's Eck for the first time and was totally thrilled! The rump steak with fries was a real highlight and I would love to come back.

This Hamburg staple is an absolute must after a long night

Atmosphere, furnishings really great. The staff are nice and the food (Jäger Schnitzel) was wonderful.

Can be recommended with a clear conscience.
