Gasthaus "Der Kleine Heinrich" in Glückstadt

As always, very tasty food, fresh and regional, including old Holstein recipes. Non-Holsteiners will certainly be full and satisfied 😉 Service friendly as always. We were able to take matjes with us sealed. 👍🏻

We were there for the first time today and would go back at any time as soon as we end up in Glückstadt again. The service in particular was incredibly friendly and accommodating!!! Thanks for that, it brightened up the end of the day for us :)

Top address for good northern German food. Great atmosphere, especially upstairs in the beautiful old house. Or even outside when the weather is good. There is always fish there, everything is of very high quality. For me the best fried potatoes ever.

Everything just works here! The seating is comfortable, the service is very friendly, and the food is excellent. The sauerkraut ribs are delicious, the green beans are cooked just right, and the fried potatoes are crispy and cooked with ham. I haven't had such a good meal in a long time.

A great restaurant, very friendly, great food, just great

Unfortunately, we didn't even get to eat. We sat outside this afternoon and waited about 5 minutes. It can sometimes happen that you don't notice inside that guests have sat outside. I then went in and asked if there was also service outside or if Roman should order in here. Answer - I'll come to you soon. After that we have another 10 Waited minutes - unfortunately no one came.

Good German restaurant with nice staff. There is a nice terrace overlooking the market square

A restaurant with a very nice atmosphere and the excellent service we were offered. Our friend is in a wheelchair and can only walk a very short distance with the walker. The help we received here was simply unique. Our four meals were also simply delicious. We can easily recommend this restaurant and will 100% make further trips here. The visitor from Portugal also wants to come here to eat with his friend from Hamburg.

Quaint restaurant on the market square with regional cuisine. Unfortunately, on Sunday the kitchen closed at 4 p.m. due to a lack of staff. We also noticed this with the slow service, which is a shame. But it still tasted good. The existing staff tried very hard.

Very nice restaurant in a rustic style. The food was great and the service was very friendly and attentive

Very nice atmosphere. The food was very tasty 😋. We'd love to come back.

Nice atmosphere in an old half-timbered house. Great and friendly service. Labskaus was delicious. Unfortunately, instead of a roll pug there was wine matjes. Because Glückstadt. I'd love to come back.

Friendly and warm service, the best food. Absolutely recommended

Very friendly staff, delicious food. The menu is manageable, but there is something for everyone.

Supper food incredibly authentic Incredibly delicious

Good restaurant with regional specialties. I can only recommend it.

A waitress, there are no words, snippy, probably doesn't feel like working. You ask in a friendly manner and are insulted stupidly, then I pay with EC CARD, the LADY doesn't like that either. I won't eat there again

Everything absolutely great. This restaurant is simply recommended. I'll definitely be back.

We had a Christmas party with around 30 people. There was a menu that was served at the seat. One course was tastier than the next, the service was impeccable, unobtrusive and always attentive. We really enjoyed our time and the food and will definitely stop by again.

It was our first time at Kleiner Heinrich. The restaurant is located directly on the market in Glückstadt. It is rustically furnished, maritime and obviously in a very old but well-preserved building. The map is small but nice. There is something for every taste. Of course, many variations of matjes are a must. In general, emphasis is placed on regional products and dishes. We were there during kale season, which of course was available in several variations. The meals were tasty and plentiful. The price level is high, but the food is worth the price. It wasn't the last time we were at Kleiner Heinrich.

Maybe the third or even second best Labskaus I've ever eaten. Great service and a fine atmosphere incl.

A wonderful place, very tasty food, perfect, radiantly friendly service. But to offer original Spezi from Augsburg as a dyke limo, in Swabia they don't really have dykes in front of the door ;) Dear team, keep it up!!!

The best restaurant for Glückstadt herring for years!

Probably the best-known restaurant on the market square in Glückstadt, which certainly lives up to its reputation as a stronghold of “Matjeskultur”. Good quality of dishes and experienced, distant, not unfriendly service, which is not necessarily a given given the influx of tourists. However, prices are relatively high - especially for wine - which you have to be able to put up with if you stop here. The competition is not inferior. It's a very touristy place. But you can treat yourself.

I haven't eaten this good in a long time. The Hamburg eel soup is simply amazing. Keep it up.

Delicious, delicious, delicious!!!

Very well eaten pears beans and bacon.

As we all know, taste is a matter of taste, so we can only report our experience here. My wife had cheese spaetzle, they were really tasty, the price is very high... I had the Labskaus, for €23.50. Except for the sugary-sweet herring, the Labskaus was delicious, but I find the price demanding. We were served courteously.

Great ambience, very friendly service but unfortunately the “Hamburger Pannfisch” is not recommended.

We ate very tasty, Labsksus, gebr. Matjes, elderberry soup etc. everything was great, and the service was super nice, thank you

Hello little Heinrich, we were there simply because of the long weekend from October 3rd to 5th. in Glückstadt. Recommended by our neighbors who already lived in Glückstadt, we were with you yesterday. We were thrilled, everything was right. Friendly service, great service and the price/performance ratio is right. When we come again, we will be with you...

Very nice cozy restaurant Very tasty food Friendly waiters Highly recommended

We were here for lunch and were satisfied. The price-performance ratio is OK. The service is polite. You have to make yourself known when you order drinks again.

Simply great, would love to come back.

Hello 👋 👋 👋. I haven't seen something so beautiful in a long time. We were visiting from Stralsund. We got a tip that was really 👍 👍.

Very friendly staff. Attentive. Food was excellent. Well attended. Gladly again when we are in Glückstadt. We were very impressed by the friendly staff.

Rustically furnished. The food delicious. Normal, reasonable prices. Service unobtrusive and attentive. I felt in good hands there.

This restaurant is highly recommended! Whether plaice, labskaus, roast beef or eel smoked matjes, the cuisine is fantastic! Delicious and rich, it couldn't be better. The service is excellent, informative, quick and very attentive. The ambience is maritime and very well maintained.

Amazing food and free pan fried potatoes as a side. The waiters were amazing with us and helped us a lot to get a taxi when there was none in the area. Thanks, very recommended place

Outstanding service behind the counter and at the table. The quality that the kitchen delivers can then be recognized on the plate and then enjoyed. This praise, especially from a Swabian, is therefore to be rated highly.

Small but mighty point, this would apply here top location top offers top employees top price-performance ratio

Fantastic! Walked into the store and fell in love! Simply beautiful, inviting, cozy! Food and service are terrific! Delicious!

The ambience in Little Heinrich is still excellent, I love it, old but well-kept and it's always a little experience. The service was also very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the dishes weren't really my cup of tea, in terms of taste. After the Labskaus was shown in an older Kitchen Impossible episode, I wanted to see for myself whether the design was really the pinnacle. In terms of taste, I found it to be quite flat. You can compensate for a lack of salt, but less so for a lack of acid. My wife had herring with fried potatoes, which was also quite low in salt. The crab soup used to have more flavor ten years ago. As is well known, taste can be debated. Maybe that's what people are used to in the Glückstadt area and that's exactly how they want it, but it certainly wasn't our case.

We ate here as a family and it was delicious!

Great food. We chose Sussländer sour ribs and lamb meatballs. Delicious. We would particularly like to comment positively on the service: friendly approach and enjoyment of the job. Great. The rooms in the historic building are attractive and comfortable. Overall, absolutely recommended.

We have been going to this restaurant for years. So far it has always been delicious. Good home cooking, not too expensive and in a cute little half-timbered house on the Glüchstädter Markt.

Enthusiastic, extremely empathetic service. We felt very welcome.

The museum-like ambience, the refreshingly friendly service, the solidly good cuisine, the relatively moderate prices - Little Heinrich arouses sympathy.

Beautifully located on the market square. Food was delicious, we had Labskaus. In terms of prices, almost no meal was under 20 euros.

We only had a small lunch, but it was very tasty. The service, consisting of young people, was very friendly and accommodating.

Super great atmosphere and very tasty food! Despite the really busy restaurant (outside and inside), the staff was very friendly and quick to serve you 👍 Changing table for babies is available👍 Definitely worth another visit! Thank you very much ☺️

The food was really, really tasty. We became aware of the restaurant through Kitchen Impossible and are very grateful for it. We will definitely come back and recommend.

The food was very tasty. We had matjes. The service was very friendly and even though we hadn't booked, we got a very good table by the window. I can recommend it.

Matje days in Glückstadt are a journey away

The waitress should urgently ask Eugen Block how to deal with objections and criticism. A "I'm sorry" if the food was overcharged wouldn't have been bad either.

Highly recommended, we were there for the herring days

Very friendly service. Always a smile for the guests. Even if there was hail on Matjes Sunday, the tables and chairs dried straight away. The matjes variant...genius.

Super delicious food, very friendly service, nice atmosphere...🤗 highly recommended 🫶

We weren't registered and only got the table for an hour. But we were served quickly and very friendly. The food, especially the fried potatoes, were very tasty.

We have been loyal fans of the kl for years. Heinrichs and also like to put the quality of the food behind the ambience and service. The restaurant is super nice, the service at the table is undoubtedly super nice, professional with absolutely no complaints. But the food really wasn't anything special. Actually just particularly expensive for the quality. The panfish had probably been under the heat lamp for too long, it was pretty dry, the herring was ok, but there's almost nothing you can mess up. So not bad, but somehow not professional, as I expect for the price. Maybe you just had a bad day?

Always a great “port to enter” for decades!

Perfect for eating matjes. Even on Whitsunday at 1 p.m. in the sunshine there was a free table outside. 300 m from the train station, if you don't need a bike ticket, you can stay seated until 5 minutes before departure. Fast and friendly.

Great restaurant. Had dinner with friends, just great. Service great. The atmosphere is really nice. We recommend.

A really chic facility. The food (matjes with fried potatoes, bacon and beans/Wiener schnitzel with fried potatoes) was so delicious and the service was very friendly. We'd love to come back.

Absolutely fair prices. Good middle-class atmosphere. Nice view of the harbor.

Super delicious food and a really nice staff.

Very good regional cuisine. North German specialties such as buttermilk soup.

We had 4x housewife-style herrings and the taste was lacking, 2 of the matjes weren't great, you couldn't cut them with a knife. There was no response to the complaint and it was taken care of, but it came to nothing. The prices are also far too high for this quality, but the service and ambience were acceptable. Sorry, we weren't thrilled.

Went there to eat kale. Was delicious.

Very nice restaurant on two levels with old building charm and beautiful furniture. Prices a little higher but reasonable.

What a beautiful restaurant in the old half-timbered style. Very cozy and welcoming. Seating below and above. Very well attended... packed lol. We got the last table. I had the menu with lamb meatballs, savoy cabbage and boiled potatoes... My two work colleagues had Labskaus with fried eggs and sour meat with fried potatoes.. Once again a super good restaurant 🎖️ German cuisine. Absolutely recommended and tastes great. The service is funny and it was really fun to chat. Thank you for everything.

Very tasty fish dishes and friendly service.

We were greeted very warmly and the service was excellent; Since we were there in the afternoon we had no problems getting a seat. We haven't been there for a long time, but it's still a top address. We felt very comfortable.

We once had > four herring fillets, with > honey-dill-mustard sauce and fried potatoes and > bacon bits, green beans and jacket potatoes. Both super delicious!!! Priced so-so. Unfortunately there is no allergen menu, but there is very nice information, although the service staff recommended the “Dreierlei” matjes to me too often. I already knew what I wanted to eat!? 🙄 But what should be particularly emphasized is that the food there is prepared fresh every day, and therefore precise information about ingredients can be given. The fried potatoes were fried especially for me in oil and not in clarified butter (lactose). The honey dill mustard sauce made without milk. Great 👍 Compliments to the chef. This is a restaurant you should eat at least once if you are in the area. Because of the popularity, it's best to make a reservation and express your wishes over the phone. As I said, they make everything possible so that you can eat there. One more thing, when you enter the restaurant it is a bit cramped. There's some big chest or something that takes up a lot of space for our taste. 🤔

We recommend. Food and service is excellent. Everything made with love and freshly prepared. The atmosphere is great and very well maintained.

Food and service as always at a high level, top

A quaint and cozy place with very friendly staff.

It couldn't be better! Wonderful regional cuisine, beautiful ambience and a great team. We'd love to come back. By the way, Cupid too 😉

What a wonderful, friendly place. Again excellent the food and so lovely the service. Ambience without words anyway. Always happy to be your guest for at least 25 years.

Quaint, long-established restaurant in Glückstadt with a rustic but loving ambience. The service is very good, the staff friendly and attentive. The food selection is regional, but there are also the usual classics specially interpreted. Everything was delicious and at a reasonable price for the place.

We have been coming here again and again for more than 15 years. Food is very tasty, the ambience is great, the staff is attentive. Reservations by telephone are recommended.

Classics, always a pleasure. Great quality, great service and an atmosphere that is second to none.

We had a delicious meal at 'Little Heinrich' shortly before New Year's Eve 2023. Everything works for us here: quiet, beautiful ambience, friendly and experienced staff and the excellent cuisine... mmmm, gladly again.

Unfortunately not barrier-free, otherwise highly recommended. Nice view of the market square.

Extremely unfriendly service without any gastronomic training (service staff would be an insult to the job description) even before ordering, completely over-salted dishes (both the fish fillet, the "Wiener" schnitzel from the turkey (huh?) and also the saddle of venison (on instant sauce and almost raw). (Medium was requested) do not speak for a trained chef), an apology was refused with the comment that the waitress had tried the meat herself and it was not oversalted. (In which restaurant does the waitress try the food, where was the chef?) The side dishes we ordered were first forgotten and then the wrong ones arrived. Even the warmed-up frozen croquettes were prepared in an amateurish way, the boiled potatoes were already making waves (so they were also warmed up) Loveless side salad like at the rest stop. And as a gastronomic highlight, we were asked to leave the restaurant because of our small child. It's a shame, it used to be a good address.

Essen: Leckeres Essen. Ich aß Grünkohl. Sehr große Portion. Ambiente: Gemütliches Lokal. Service: höflich. Abzug eines Sterne: Bedienung war zu stark parfümiert.

Ein wahres Gaumenfest erwartet die Gäste im charmanten "Den Kleinen Heinrich". Die Fliederbeersuppe und die Buttermilchsuppe sind absolute Highlights – geschmacklich herausragend und perfekt ausbalanciert. Der Service überzeugt durch Aufmerksamkeit und Fachkenntnisse. Die gemütliche Atmosphäre und liebevolle Einrichtung runden das Gesamterlebnis ab. Ein absolutes Muss für Feinschmecker!

Mittleres Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, freundliche Bedienung

Ein etwas rustikales Restaurant, mit gutem Essen und netter, freundlicher Bedienung.ė

Es war ein Vergnügen heute hier zu essen. Top Qualität, von regionalen Lieferanten, oder Hersteller (Glückstädter!! Matjes, der Rolls Royce unter den Matjes), Schweinerippchen Gerichte -> ganz hervorragende,norddeutsche Küche auf hohem Niveau! Das Service-Team schwer auf zack, professionell,freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit! Das bei ausgebuchtem Restaurant. Und das Ambiente ist der Hammer. Essen bei Windstärke 6 auf dem Clipper. Grandios. Hingehen -> dann wißt ihr/ wissen Sie was gemeint ist. Volle Punktzahl für einen tollen Mittagstisch. Und an der Herrn der sich beschwerte, dass es hier keinen Meerblick gäbe und man auf den "Parkplatz" gucken würde... es ist schwer die Nordsee nach Glückstadt zu holen und der Parkplatz ist der historische Glückstädter Marktplatz mit Kandelaber. Erdkunde 6 setzen🤣

Super Essen, toller Blick vom 1. Stock auf den Marktplatz, freundliches Personal

Lieblingsrestaurant, wenn ich Kindheitshunger habe.

Gepflegtes uriges Ambiente, leckeres, sehr frisches Essen. Wir sind immer wieder sehr zufrieden.

Hübsche Lokalität. Nette Bedienung. Platzreservierung ist ratsam. Für Rollstuhlbenutzer leider nicht geeignet.

Tolles Essen, norddeutsche Kulturgüter! Das alte schiefe Gebäude ist der Knaller!

Tolles Matjesessen in gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Anreise aus Hamburg lohnt sich.

Wir hatten ein wundervolles Dinner hier. Das Essen war perfekt. Alle Erwartungen an die maritime Küche wurden erfüllt. Der Service sehr zuvorkommend und sympathisch. Ich komme ganz sicher mal wieder.

Gepflegte Küche. Urtümliches Ambiente. Freundliche Bedienung. Schöner Platz. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Einfach ein toller und gelungener Abschluss an diesen Tag für uns im "kleinen Heinrich". Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

Wow.... durch Zufall auf Der Kleinen Heinrich gestoßen. Und ich muss sagen ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Vom Essen über die Bedienung war wirklich alles Top! Leckere & Ehrliche Küche... Mit Portionen die satt machen.
