Gleis4 Restaurant Bistro Cafe in Cuxhaven

Everything is GREAT!!! The kebab is better than most in Hamburg!!! Keep up the good work.

This was my first time visiting "Gleis4." The restaurant makes a very tidy impression. A few benches could use new leather upholstery, but otherwise it's a cozy place with very clean restrooms. 5/5 The server was friendly, but she probably wasn't having her best day. She could have been more friendly. Therefore, only 4/5 for this. I ordered a special kofte burger. The meat was super delicious and perfectly flavored. It came with fries, which were supposed to be "extra crispy" according to the menu, but unfortunately, this wasn't the case. A few more minutes in the fryer would have definitely been worth it. Since mayonnaise for the fries was only available as an extra, only 4/5. But most importantly, the food was delicious, well prepared, and the price was a positive surprise. I definitely recommend visiting this restaurant.

Coming from Hanover, I can only recommend it. The food was very good. We had doner kebabs, chef's plates and burgers. Everything was great. One or the other can learn a thing or two from it.

An absolute recommendation! The food, especially the new doner dishes with pure beef, tastes fantastic. It's truly incomparable to a "regular" doner, which often can't even be called a doner anymore due to the ingredients. But the smash burgers also taste delicious and are freshly prepared. So far, the service has been consistently friendly and quick, and they've even fulfilled one or two special requests. A restaurant where everything is just right. Please keep it up, we'll be happy to come back.

Five of us were on Platform 4 in Cuxhaven and tried everything from pasta to burgers to Dürüm with steak meat. Each of us was thrilled! The portions were generous, the ingredients were fresh and the preparation was top notch. The steak meat in the Dürüm in particular was juicy and grilled to perfection. The burgers were freshly topped, the bread was slightly crispy, and the sauces were well balanced. The pasta dishes also had a nice seasoning and were delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere in the restaurant is modern and inviting. The toilet area was clean, but a bit cool. Overall, a great evening with great food – we’ll definitely be back!

Today I had another kebab with a colleague and the kebab was incredibly tasty. The service and especially the boss were super friendly and took time for us. We'll definitely be back.

Not recommended. The kebab is the size that is usually sold as a “children’s kebab”. €9.90 is by no means appropriate for this. The taste is not particularly good, the meat has a strange taste, but it doesn't remind you of "steak".

Jenny, Lena and Edmir are simply the best. I've never experienced anything so friendly. I like being with the three of them, but Lena isn't here today

Das Essen war außergewöhnlich gut und ausgesprochen lecker.. Wir haben wirklich lange nicht so gut gegessen....und die Bediehnung war einfach unglaublich freundlich.

Eine Bedienung war super freundlich, ihr Kollege der ihr zur Hand ging könnte noch an Freundlichkeit viel lernen. Vom Essen ( Dönerteller) waren wir Maßlos enttäuscht können uns nicht erinnern jemals so schlecht gegessen zu haben.

Very nice and calm ambience if you sit inside. Right at the platform as the name suggests. They do have good coffee and a small range of sandwiches to choose for your breakfast. The seating arrangement is fine and the person at the service is nice and friendly. It is a good place to sit and sip a coffee with croissant; while you wait for your train connection.

I have never eaten such a delicious Dürüm...Thank you, it was an experience. Definitely coming back.

Went there once and got a steak kebab plate with TooGoodToGo. After the handover, the waitress first says “Next time you can come and eat here normally” - seriously? The point here is not to not waste food, but rather to sell the average kebab for a few euros

Really very good restaurant and the service was friendly and quick. The doner dishes (Kebab Iskender) which are served with steak meat are highly recommended. However, card payments are not possible with American Express. The toilets are up the stairs. The restaurant is new and modern and can be accessed from outside and inside the station building. Parking spaces are free next to the tracks.

I have rarely eaten such good meat, the beef was delicious. It tasted great. My husband ate pizza and said the dough was very thick. But otherwise very well topped and tasted good. But it's not an Italian pizza, I knew that because the dough is thicker.

I expected a better snack and found a great restaurant with completely freshly prepared food. Great team!!!

Very cozy atmosphere, delicious cuisine, excellent service! Thank you, we will definitely come again!

Were here again. Just as perfect as last time. The antipasti plate and the burger with fries were super tasty. A day later there was the homemade steak kebab “Iskender” - highly recommended. Unfortunately no picture was taken of this. Be sure to go and order the dish if you are a fan of kebab. This is really something different. But an absolute taste explosion.

Pleasantly furnished. It's a good place to sit, eat, drink and chat.

The very friendly, attentive service staff made our short stop a very nice experience!

The food was delicious (I recommend anything with falafel and baba ghanoush and baklava for dessert). The service was great and the place is also very cozy. Unfortunately, I'm rarely in Cuxhaven, but when we're there again, we'll definitely come back. Six of us easily got a place, but smaller or larger groups shouldn't be a problem either. If you sit at the back of the restaurant, you don't even notice that the train station is right behind you. So: this is definitely a recommendation, both for warm meals and for tea and cake/dessert.

I recently tried the falafel in pita bread at this cafe and loved it! The taste is simply fantastic: fresh vegetables, a creamy sauce and perfectly fried falafel harmonize wonderfully with each other. The pita bread is soft and airy, but sturdy enough not to fall apart. The portion is generous, the food is filling and the presentation is very attractive. A great choice for a quick but healthy snack. I'll definitely be back!

One of the nicest waitresses I've had recently. The food was very tasty, especially the pizza with kebab and mozzarella. The homemade baklava with ice cream and tea was the crowning glory. Absolute recommendation.

The best kebab in Cuxhaven! The Yaprak kebab is slowly but surely making its way to Cuxhaven and platform 4 has a really good skewer there. The service was also super friendly and very accommodating, and you could tell that everyone had fun at work. Very happy again!

Everything is great. It's good to eat here 😁❤️

A fantastic restaurant right in the train station, nice, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, warm boss and outstanding cuisine. We had a starter platter and the soup of the day with fresh bread. The soup was a Turkish lentil soup and it was just perfect. It tasted like Turkey. The starter platter consisted of hummus, eggplant puree, salad and bread. Everything was delicious and homemade across the board. But the highlight was definitely the Yaprak kebab, we had the kebab plate and kofta, both really delicious. The kebab meat in particular is incredibly tasty. It's a real pleasure to be served real home-made meat with a dish like this. But the absolute highlight was the Iskender, a pure taste explosion and definitely the tastiest kebab dish I ate in Germany and I really got around a lot. Fresh ingredients. The delicious meat, toasted bread cubes, a perfectly balanced tomato sauce and solid yoghurt. To top it off, the dish was topped with melted butter. Baklava for dessert was also delicious. All in all, a great spot for those who appreciate good food. Great fresh products processed into delicious dishes using our own craftsmanship. A big plus point for us is that you can take your dog with you. This is not a given in southern restaurants; we were also offered water for the dog. This is attentive service. We will definitely come back as soon as time allows. Ps. To those weirdos who complain about the prices here, you can't help them anymore. Such quality cannot be compared with all the chemical and industrial scrap. But I can only recommend to everyone that it's better to eat less junk once a month and instead treat yourself to honestly cooked food of high quality that is prepared with a high level of craftsmanship. The food is worth every cent and I hope quality prevails at some point. We also took a 3/4 hour drive just to dine here. Thank you for this great culinary excursion.

Such a friendly atmosphere! Very tasty, freshly prepared food and of course - nice service! Civilian prices! We'd love to come back!

Overpriced, meat very dry, not enough sauce, very poor and small selection of side dishes.

Very tasty, rich and the service was super friendly… Platform 4

Great restaurant, very tasty food, very friendly staff, this will definitely be repeated next time

Great, surprisingly large and beautiful restaurant, which goes well with the renovated Cuxhavener train station. Friendly team who do their work politely and with wit and humor. The food and coffee always tasted very good. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Cuxhaven, I'll definitely stop at Gleis4 again.

We have never eaten such a good kebab before. Apart from the always friendly staff, there is always a good conversation and great food. Whether to pick up or eat on site. Gleis4 is always a good choice! A good plus point is that the restaurant participates in Togoodtogo.

Just been there again so every time you outdo yourself with the delicious food and great staff, always happy to eat there with the family, keep it up

Not only the well-equipped ambience, but also the excellent food transported me to seventh heaven. The service also read my wishes and reacted immediately to meet my needs.

Strong recommendation for the tasty kebab! After ordering a coffee to go the evening before, I accepted the host's invitation and ordered his highly praised kebab the next day. A convincing sight for me: he enjoyed his own product and raved about it, not a given. Most kebab men bring their goods to the customer with a guilty conscience, knowing full well about the quality of the meat. But with this kebab I could taste the love in the preparation and the freshness of the ingredients. From the first to the last bite, a taste explosion like I have rarely experienced. Matching this is the friendly service from the nice lady, the extra portion of fries and the relaxing ambience. After eating the kebab, the hunger was satisfied, but not the appetite. So I didn't miss the opportunity to eat a second kebab straight away and I didn't regret it. Will definitely come back! Thank you for the warm hospitality and the delicious food!

A welcome change in the midst of the fish restaurants (which have been around for a bit too long). The expanded bistro menu has many vegetarian and vegan options, and the service is quick and friendly. Espresso at top temperature!

We go to Heligoland twice a year and each time we look for a good restaurant in Cuxhaven. Now we have discovered platform 4. The offer goes far beyond pizza and burgers. The very friendly and attentive service and the delicious oriental food are pleasant. In particular, all of the starters are highly recommended. Likewise the desserts. . Everything freshly prepared. Clear recommendation and next time in Cux we are looking forward to platform 4.

Very friendly service. Very good dinner. That was fun. Recommended!

Because of the high prices, I only give it two stars. The store only lives from walk-in customers and the price/performance ratio doesn't match. If I go across the street I can get much better bread rolls for the same price. Pizza and the like are good, you can eat well there but the price.

A nice train station restaurant The lady who served was extremely welcoming

My wife was with me on platform 4 for about an hour today. The service was super good! Communicative, courteous, always keeping an eye on the guest. Drinks were on point, fresh, tasty and served very quickly. Prices are moderate, suitable. We'll be back. Kind regards also to the boss who said goodbye to us. Julia and Dirk

Fries are good and value for money. The rest is too expensive for what you get, a shame :/

Too expensive for the performance. Tuna salad was tasty, but not particularly attractive and 14 euros was clearly too expensive for a rather small portion. Smash Burger for 12 euros was too small for the price and tasted significantly less than a Whopper. Finally, we were persuaded to try the crème brulee with raspberry ice cream for 8 euros: we were curious to see whether it would taste good together. It wasn't raspberry ice cream, but blueberry ice cream. But it didn't matter because it wasn't a creme brulee either, but rather a foamy powdered cream mixed with flambéed sugar - crust: it was edible, but definitely not worth 8 euros. We can recommend the fries and the Aperol spritz.

Good food for a good price, would be happy again

Hello, very good service. Nice conversation with the chef. Very good meal. Gladly again

Rubbish rubbish rubbish, unfriendly to the point of being unfriendly, me and my girlfriend stood there for 15 minutes to order two cappuccinos, were ignored and looked at stupidly the whole time. When guests came after us, they were served before us and we didn't despite repeated requests!

Absolutely recommended. We were treated courteously. This is how I imagine a waitress. Food great and sufficient. We'll definitely be back.

Waren gestern und heute mit unserer Reisegruppe von 20 Personen zum Abendessen.Wir waren begeistert von Essen , Lokal und Personal. Wir kommen gerne wieder!!!

Today for lunch lunch menu12euro.pizza Suzuk very tasty

Great location for people getting on and off at Cuxhaven train station. Tastefully decorated and the service was very good. We also enjoyed the food. Recommended!

It was more of a coincidence that brought us here. Thanks coincidence. The friendly waitress brought us the menu and took our order. The dish came, looked delicious and tasted really perfect. Yes and then the shock. My wallet was at home. The credit card should therefore be counted. It didn't work either, I must have lost. So an unfortunate situation. The owner, Mr. M.A. didn't see any problem after he was able to listen to the phone call with my relatives. My daughter transferred the amount online and all was right with the world. Yes, thanks !

Very good food and super nice service :)

So far I have always been satisfied with the (male) service. Polite and accommodating. The selection is good and solid; more on the higher price side for a train station bakery. But I was a bit disappointed with the lady behind the counter today: Instead of answering my question about a cold drink and offering to prepare it for me (an iced coffee), she simply let a lady who was pushing up behind me go and serve me; She also continued to serve the people in line. Since I had to get my train, I asked about the preparation time. That was too close. So I left without buying anything. Hence my criticism of the senior restaurateurs: If you encourage rudeness, then you will lose potential loyal customers.

Great food, nice staff, gladly again

I ate a very good chicken salad. Very nice service. Important: The menu, which is stored as a PDF on Googledrive, applies here on the company website. The map written in text is not current. As of August 22, 2024 Therefore 4 stars.

Such lovely service and we became repeat offenders during our holiday week and came straight back because it tasted great and we felt very comfortable.

Klare Empfehlung! Gleis 4 hat super freundliche Mitarbeiter. Viele Gerichte werden von Grund auf selbst gemacht und nicht als Fertigprodukt eingekauft. Ich habe die Falafel gegessen, die waren mega! Generell gibt es eine tolle Auswahl für Vegetarier/Veganer. Auch glutenfreie Optionen sind möglich. Tolles Restaurant :-)

Nice bistro at the Cuxhaven train station with very friendly staff so it makes waiting for the train easier.

Cake was good but the donut was as dry as a rock but nice to wait there

Absolutely recommended, delicious food. Great, fast, friendly service. We had dinner there several times during our vacation. Will definitely come back.

The service is great! The lady with the glasses and dark hair is very friendly and motivated. A perfect stop at the train station to get snacks for the trip. The selection is varied and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Definitely worth a visit.

Very good location right at the train station, you always have the right snack for the trip, very nice conditions, the lady with the glasses and dark hair is totally motivating and friendly! Food can only be recommended a 10/10!

Very friendly food is delicious I'm always happy to go against the recommendation if you've been there

For me, this is the best train station restaurant I've seen so far. Everything is fine 👍.

As a North German you have to visit the Kugelbake in Cuxhaven once in your life. Today was the day. Day trip from Hamburg and back. The first stop in Cuxhaven was “Platform 4”. Real train station catering right on the tracks. Good for tourist watching. And to gossip 😎 The extremely quick and friendly Lena brought us two Aperol Sprizz. Well done, rarely had a better one. After our tour to the Kugelbake and before our return journey, we stopped again at “Platform 4”. The hard-working Lena was still there and served us two perfect drinks again. Friendly and authentic. The price level of “Platform 4” is fair. The drinks strong. We recommend.

I wanted to save 2 bags via TO Got to go. Unfortunately the bags would be canceled shortly before collection. So I went there for free. Really not very friendly...

I ordered a portion of fries, just after! When we ordered, the deep fryer was heated up so that preparation took a correspondingly long time. Because I got impatient because I wanted to make my move, I was kicked out! With the words, you should behave your age, get your money back and never set foot in this property again, get out of here! And that makes you wonder what people choose!

Coincidentally here, the weather wasn't great and what can I say it was great all around

We had a portion of fries to go for the junior. At first we were skeptical because of the price. However, it was a very large portion and very tasty! Again and again !

The ambience looked nice, but unfortunately the lady on the computer was busy complaining to the people who came from the kitchen because she didn't have room, and the gentleman wanted to tell everyone how and where he sleeps, then we just left, like that Unfortunately you don't make any sales.

Pizza Sucuk for 13.50 was great. Staff very nice.

Super lovely service. The food was really great. We can highly recommend it

Cheap “baked net rolls” with nice fat tartar sauce and half a slice of cheese, cut four more times for €3.50. Why don't you sell a roll freshly delivered from the bakery with a normal fresh slice of cheese and, above all, with butter, I would buy it for 5 euros. Because quality is better than quantity. The service, on the other hand, is great

Incredibly friendly employee. My train arrived in five minutes and since the fries wouldn't be ready before then, he gave me some really tasty watermelon for free. 😍 Great experience, I'll be back here soon with more time. :)

Ordered a Margarita pizza there today for €7.50. Well, I've eaten a lot of pizzas in my life, but this one was the biggest shame I've ever experienced. It was a FUCKING frozen pizza. Plastic cheese, tasteless tomato sauce and hard really inedible dough. I would be ashamed of myself every single day. Take the first train and get out of there as quickly as you can! I hope for Cuxhaven and all their guests that this fraudster goes bankrupt!

Great restaurant, very friendly staff with great and affordable lunch options. I had a burger including fries twice and was very satisfied.

A restaurant connected to the train station. Chicly renovated, good food. Sensible choice. Nice service

Went to Platform 4 for lunch today. We would receive a very nice welcome. We were informed that the food would take a little longer. A group of 25 people had just ordered. My husband ordered a coffee and I ordered a cola so that the waiting time wouldn't be so long. Then, after 20 minutes of waiting, the salad arrived. And not too long later the great food arrived... A great restaurant with friendly service.

Good morning . The place is really very nice. Unfortunately, your cooperation, those who work early or in general, you don't get a nice day back, sometimes I ask myself why they work there when they don't feel like it, they're stuck up until it's no longer possible and if you want to have something else to prove it doesn't take time too long, what kind of baker is that who sells fresh rolls but can't grease them!!! For a simple occupied €3.50!!!!!! If you sell it so expensively then put a little bit of remolade in it. Rolls are so dry, I threw away my whole roll!!! It may be that other people's food tastes good, but when it comes to rolls, it's bad, and learning to be a little friendly to your employees is more fun.. Have a nice Day

Great food, cozy atmosphere and really nice staff.

The food was really excellent. The service was great, our waitress was charming and friendly ☺️. Personal recommendation: The Taboule, simply delicious! The portion size was decent and you definitely got full but it wasn't too much either. A big plus point is the selection of different vegetarian dishes, which unfortunately is not the case everywhere in Cuxhaven.

The restaurant is great. The service was really nice, the food was delicious and filling. There was homemade bread at the table. I can recommend this. I had a smash burger with fries, and my wife had a falafel plate, which was great

Super nice and friendly staff, good atmosphere, tasty pizza and dessert 🍕👍

I have never seen such a cozy train station restaurant. My salmon roll was freshly baked and delicious! The waiter was more attentive and friendly than we had seen in a long time. I would come back there again and again!

Smash Burger was very tasty, service was great, everything was great. The burger buns are made here in-house and the meat is freshly minced. Something like this should be supported! 👍

My visit to platform 4 was simply great. Right from the start we were greeted very warmly, and I had the feeling that the attentive service was even from the owner himself, which made the whole thing even more personal. The Smashburger was absolutely amazing: the bun was baked perfectly and the patty was incredibly juicy. The cheese, smashed together with the patty, made it a real taste experience - crispy on the outside and wonderfully liquid on the inside. The burger was great value for money, absolutely justified for the size. The fries were also tasty and the drinks arrived nice and cold. The restaurant itself is very inviting, furnished with great attention to detail and sparkling clean everywhere, including the toilets. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

We were in Cuxhaven on February 19, 2024. After an extensive round of shopping in the nearby department store, we ended up on platform 4 - guided by Google Maps. Thanks at this point to Google Maps. We chose the dishes “Köfte Burger Spezial” and “Smashed Burger” with fries from the lunch menu. Both meals came to the table after a reasonable amount of time. Simply prepared, they both impressed with their taste, and the French fries were also very hot and perfectly crispy. For dessert we had Turkish mocha (not on the menu) and a sample of the finest baklava. The mocha is strong and hot, the baklaval feels light and buttery in the mouth, but - as promised by the very friendly waitress - not that sweet. The ambience is modern but still cozy and the quiet music in the background was perfect. This experience was rounded off by a very attentive and friendly waitress who successfully tried to ensure we had a pleasant stay. We will definitely come here again and then I will try a pizza. UPDATE from February 23, 2024: Today we were here again and ate pizza from the lunch menu. 1x Pizza Gleis4 and 1x Pizza Tuna. Both pizzas were very good, you can taste that the dough is homemade and has had a long resting time. The edge is nice and airy and crispy, then juicy and soft towards the middle. The toppings were well sized, overall a very good pizza. Regarding the service, it should be said that today we were served by a waiter who was just as attentive and friendly as his colleague on Monday. This restaurant deserves a clear recommendation.

1A service, very, very tasty food and absolutely inexpensive. Absolutely recommended. I haven't eaten so well in a long time!!!

We practically dropped in today...by chance😊 What can I say...very tasty lunch!!! Afterwards a Turkish mocha😍 and we got a piece of baklava with the mocha😊 For me the best baklava I have ever eaten!!! And I've already consumed a lot of it😉 (Turkish vacations, Turkish friends and their moms) Not to forget the service staff!!! Sooo warm and human! Simply great😍

I love it here. Super nice people, small changes to the order can be made quickly and a friendly atmosphere. It couldn't be better. And the filter coffee is the best😋

So respect, the restaurant puts Cuxhaven train station in a different league. Great atmosphere that you wouldn't expect in a small train station. Respect.

Conveniently located directly in Cuxhaven train station. Facility and service are good. The prices have the 🆙 location bonus📈

The food is simply fantastic, great service and nice conversations, you just feel good. We will be back definitely!

Nice location for smaller club meetings. The boss and staff are always friendly and accommodating. Delicious food, of good quality and a coffee that can really be called that.

For a train station restaurant, simply top

I can't understand the bad reviews here, I've been to platform 4 several times, most recently to the bakery yesterday, and I can say that the lady does a very good job, always makes an effort and is very personable.. 🥰

Very tasty, very nice service, super clean, great ambience

Cozy, no rush, very friendly, great food

Großartiger Ort! Köstliches Essen, gemütliche Atmosphäre und freundliches Personal. Kann es nur empfehlen! Die Atmosphäre ermöglichte es, sich zu entspannen und das Abendessen in angenehmer Umgebung zu genießen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Since I had to wait for my train, I thought I'd have some cocoa. The cocoa was very bland, hardly tasted like anything, but it was hot. The waitress was very unmotivated and helped herself to the cucumber slices with her fingers, which she then salted with relish and shoved into her mouth... then she put her fingers back into the bowl with the cucumber slices, which were probably more for the dishes Guests were intended, and at the same time she also collected money or brought another guest their food... Very unhygienic!
