Glut & Wasser in Oldenburg (Oldb)

It really was an all-round perfect evening.

Super friendly staff and very tasty food

There is no paper menu. If you want to see the menu, you can only do so via your cell phone. Works better with Apple than with Android and leads to stress because it doesn't work properly. Choosing food on the small cell phone screen is difficult. The cheeseburger with fries was okay, but completely over-seasoned in one place. The fries were crispy on the outside and soggy on the inside. Probably fried too hot. Likewise the fried fish with fries. The fries were too seasoned for our taste. Anyone who charges such a high price for standard snack dishes should also deliver the corresponding quality. The ambience is partly gray concrete walls which did not create a pleasant atmosphere for us. We will not visit this restaurant again.

Nice atmosphere, nice evening, delicious food, what more could you want

Hi, good food, good service and pleasant atmosphere! As always everything was great!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Fantastic lunch Experience! Excellent service and outstanding food! The staff is attentive, friendly, and fast. My dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Highly recommend for a perfect lunch-out! 🍽️✨

We were there in a larger group. The service was great and it was relatively quick considering there were 6 of us. However, none of us were impressed by the food. The fries were good - but very strongly seasoned, not just salted. Unfortunately, the burger patties were far too thick, there was a lot of gristle meat in them and the bun was completely soggy after less than 5 minutes that you had to scrape the bottom side off the plate with a fork. The sauce was good, but way too much. We would have expected more for this price range and will therefore not come back again.

Overall 3 stars because previous experiences were better - so the overall picture is better than the last experience. Table ordering via internet, reservations until 7.15 p.m. for a maximum of 2 hours, rather unusual. I understand the idea behind it, but it could be politely phrased as a non-binding statement. Reservations from 7.30 p.m. with no time limit....?! You can only view the menu with a tablet or smartphone, very confusing, difficult to scroll back and forth. After scanning, the menu for the Pfefferprinz Restaurant opened on my companion's smartphone. Wine selection very limited and unknown to the service staff. The food came in a reasonable time, my burger was cold and the patty was dry and hard. Overall service was friendly, hence the 2 stars.

Perfect evening with business partners 👍

We like to go to Glut & Wasser, they have delicious burgers and the potato snow is super delicious. However, it annoys me when you have to call up the menu on your cell phone and then everyone sits at the table with a cell phone. The waiter was friendly but somehow he also seemed a bit arrogant. The atmosphere is beautiful and we are looking forward to sitting outside again in the summer

We were totally satisfied with the service and the food.

It was incredibly tasty, the portion sizes are such that they fill you up really well without making you think, "Man, should I maybe order more?" The restaurant itself is beautifully and comfortably furnished, I don't think it's a bad thing that there are "limited" reservations of tables (especially at peak times), as you also have the option of going to the bar afterwards if you want to have a drink and chat - perfect! Personally, I'm not a fan of menus on my cell phone because it's somehow confusing for me because I'm very reluctant to make decisions, so that's a point deducted.

Great food, burgers are juicy and really tasty. Very cozy and great service

Very nice location in a great location.

Absolutely outrageous drink prices and drink sizes. 0.2 liter bottles are a disgrace. Just under 6 euros for a 0.5 liter beer. The prices for some dishes are sometimes incomprehensible. The location and atmosphere is great, but not enough to convince me to come back a second time.

Food was good, but steep prices

The atmosphere is very nice and the service was also very friendly. Unfortunately, parking spaces are very limited, so you have to be lucky in the corner. Unfortunately, our burgers weren't as tasty as we had hoped. Very greasy and unfortunately the betties were too thick, so you just tasted meat. Unfortunately the price was also very expensive, so I paid almost €90 for two people with drinks and an appetizer. For the price we weren't happy with the food at all. Won't be coming back.

Unfortunately, the burgers are not recommended at all. Extremely expensive and unfortunately tastes really bad.

Was a very pleasant evening. Service was quick, even if it was a bit crowded. Food (vegan burgers) were really great, praise to the chef! We'll be back. :)

Rather average. Would probably not go there a second time to eat.

As always, very tasty, service perfect… We'll be back!

Had a very tasty shawarma bowl and burger. Definitely coming back

One of the top shops when it comes to good food and a good atmosphere on a relaxing day :)

Great location, great value for money, great service!!

2 out of 5 people were not satisfied with their food. Potato snow lukewarm, crumbly - too firm and the puled pork also lukewarm, rather cold. The protein punch was very good on the menu, but the execution was rather unimaginative (salad, carrots, lentils with a sauce that tasted like ready-made sauce and lukewarm beef balls). The other bowl (Chimichurri) was very tasty. However, €18 for a vegetarian bowl is not that good value for money. The burgers were great, the fries were ok. After 10 p.m. we no longer felt so welcome. Closing the kitchen is completely ok at this time. Cleaning up the kitchen too. We didn't think it was okay that there was a big black garbage bag on the stairs to the toilet. The outside door was open - did they want to get rid of us? We had to ask to close the door. The service was attentive and friendly. The digital map was easy to open with Apple devices, but there were problems with Android. We were given an iPad. We found the structure of the map rather confusing - we had a hard time. They couldn't offer us a printed card. “I would be happy to bring you an iPad” was the answer from the service person, which I found to be a bit “pushy”. Official opening hours are until 2 a.m. on Saturdays. Around 11 p.m. there was a notice of the last round - yes, there were only two tables left... We no longer felt welcome there. Left almost €400 there. probably won't be coming back any time soon. I've been there repeatedly since the store opened. In my opinion, the quality of the food has deteriorated over time. Just 3 years ago I thought that Glut & Wasser was special for special occasions. I didn't experience that today. Too bad.

Excellent food, relaxed atmosphere, attentive and friendly service.

Great service, cozy atmosphere and very tasty food. I can highly recommend the bowls.

Best burger I’ve ever had with a caring and friendly service. Place to go in Oldenburg!

The Glut und Wasser is a great restaurant with great service and delicious food. Great selection, something for everyone. We were there yesterday with 12 people, everyone was thrilled. Gladly again.

Good service and delicious burgers.

Very nice and competent staff. Food intolerances are not a problem here. Delicious food selection.

The fact that the card was only accessible via a QR code was really annoying. Better on paper or - if electronic - a tablet for everyone the pictures and writings were difficult for my parents to recognize. We still had a great time and the food was delicious!

The menu is only available digitally, data protection wasn't okay, so our table got a tablet without the option to zoom, so don't forget reading glasses ;)

Very good burgers and very friendly service.

We have been visiting the restaurant at irregular intervals for years and have always been satisfied. Unfortunately not yesterday. The cauliflower only saw the stove from afar. He was hard and lukewarm and consisted mainly of stalks. You had to look for cauliflower fritters. The potato snow fell off the fork, because strangely enough crumbly.

A lovely evening at the bar. Nice drink recommendations from Artur the bartender. Very competent. Gladly again 😀

The conditions were very friendly, I could say something about every wine and was otherwise very courteous and attentive. We also really liked the food. Slightly different compositions. ...that special something is what makes it special for us. The dessert was fantastic. Thank you

It was my first time there and with a group of 24 people. Everyone’s food was warm and delicious. Everything perfect, gladly again!

It was a very nice evening with great food and very good service - always again

Very nice restaurant with friendly service and a great ambience.

Highly recommended and accommodating, gladly again.

Unfortunately, the map online and on site did not match. This is not ideal for someone with allergies or intolerances.

Great service, very accommodating. We - 6 people with different demands - really enjoyed the food. Everything from vegan to vegetables and meat. Reservation of seats went easily online. The toilets are in the basement, which was a point deducted because there is no elevator. We'll definitely be back, thank you very much.

Very cozy restaurant that is located directly on the Hunte in OL. We had delicious burgers (not standard) with well-made fries.

After making the reservation, we were sent a Christmas menu by email from which we could also choose. We chose a 3-course menu and ordered by email. So all we had to do that evening was choose drinks. The service via email and in the restaurant was excellent. The food was a culinary delight and we also liked the ambience. Only the background noise is a bit loud, but after a while it's no longer noticeable. We'd love to come back ;)

We have already eaten here twice and found the food very good. Decent portions are served. Gladly again

Very tasty burgers. The staff is always very helpful and always friendly. We will definitely come back 👍

Burger was ok. However, very expensive for a frozen patty.

Went there based on a recommendation. Pleasant room layout and interior design. Friendly staff who have their customers in mind. No unpleasant waiting times. Food great. I was traveling with 4 people - who also shared this assessment.

Wonderful ambience! Keep it up!

Beim Betreten des Lokals kam gleich ein Mitarbeiter auf uns zu, um uns zu begrüßen. Da wir ohne Reservierung kamen, wurden wir am Mitteltisch platziert. Der Service kam schnell, bot auch die Aktionsgetränke an. Die Bierauswahl war überschaubar, aber gut. Die Getränke waren gut. Das Essen kam dann rasch, wir hatten Burger bestellt. Die Burger waren leider eine Enttäuschung: strukturloses viel zu fest gepacktes Fleisch, trotzdem unangenehm viel Knorpel. Sehr wenig Sosse auf dem Burger. Der Salat bestand aus recht viel mit Spiralschneider bearbeiteter Gurke, das war sehr schwierig zu essen. Die Pommes waren etwas überwürzt aber ansonsten ok. Einen Burger würden wir uns nicht wieder bestellen. Insgesamt ein mittelmässiges Erlebnis: Service super Getränke gut Essen ausreichend Ambiente super

Glut & Wasser offers excellent food and friendly service. The restaurant is nicely decorated. The burgers in particular were really tasty. Price performance fits. You can park at the cinema and get there quickly. Unfortunately, the digital menu is a bit confusing due to the shop system and the need to have a cell phone at the table lowers the inhibition threshold to use it for other purposes. Maybe I also like simply leafing through a map. Optionally you can also order directly online, but this is not mandatory.

We came based on recommendations and unfortunately we were not convinced. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio does not match the quality of the food and service. If I charge €6 for a cola [0.4l], then it should be served with a little friendliness. We had 5 different dishes. While the starter was quite good, the main courses were unfortunately not convincing. It's a shame, we expected more.

nice atmosphere in a modern look. The process in the restaurant is a bit annoying due to digitalization. Should everyone put together their menu for business lunches on their cell phone? and pay straight away...? If it sounds spooky, it is. But the good old process of ordering at the table and then paying is still possible. A pleasant visit and good food....

Great restaurant in the harbor with hearty food. The prices are reasonable, the service is quick and friendly - and an incredibly tasty pale lager.

Very cozy atmosphere. Great light and very tasty food 😃

Very attentive service, food was great, very good value for money. Pleasant atmosphere, sound level was such that you could have a good conversation (Sunday lunchtime). Toilet facility was very clean. I'll definitely be back.

Good food, slightly higher prices but very good quality. Staff very nice. Gladly again!

For a side sauce an additional €2.20, ketchup/mayonnaise €1.20 and for a special 0.4l €6.20...... I think it's too expensive....

A delicious burger and fries. The price is a little higher and I think almost 2 euros for mayo is a bit excessive

Very nice staff. Hamburgers were very tasty! Fries and dip too. Drinks look great and taste very good too. We'd love to come back!

Great restaurant, delicious food and very friendly service. We'd love to come back

Although I'm all for sustainability, I don't always have my smartphone with me and found ordering on a tablet strange. It disturbs the atmosphere. Then it's better to use the card in the stand on the table instead of the QR code. But the food was very good and made up for us.

Changing tables was no problem. The service was very attentive. There wasn't a long wait for drinks or food.

Nice location, good food, but unfortunately the beer doesn't taste good. I had 3 different beers from Überquell, but unfortunately none of them were convincing.

Delicious food and short waiting times. Nicely prepared, large portions - I think the prices for side dishes (alternatives) and dips are a bit too high. Otherwise, the restaurant is comfortably furnished, but very loud when it's full and the tables are very close to each other.

Because of the many positive reviews, we ate at Glut & Wasser. Unfortunately we were rather disappointed with the food, especially the burgers. Unfortunately, the patties tasted like frozen goods and, strangely, were extremely firm. All in all it was okay, the waiter was nice and the ambience was good, but unfortunately the food left a lot to be desired.

Extremely nice service: greeted with a bright, yet natural smile; attentive staff who responded to our wishes; delicious food – everyone was happy!

The two of us ate here. The dishes (burgers) were very expensive. Here you have to budget over 19 euros per dish/person. Unfortunately, the firm consistency of the patties in particular was rather unconvincing. A large Coke 0.4 cost 6 euros. We paid 4 euros for a piece of cheesecake. The cake tasted watery and flaky. When we asked, it turned out that we were given frozen cakes for the money. We thought that was pretty cheeky. We don't have to go out to eat for that. For the price we want fresh food and will therefore not come back.

Delicious food, great burgers, cool ambience

Very nice location Food great Completely satisfied

The ambience of the restaurant is really nice and cozy, you can feel at home here. When it comes to food, however, the price-performance ratio isn't quite right for me. The dishes taste good, but sometimes seem like convenience and not very homemade. The fries were rather sticky, and the burger patty was reminiscent of an industrially produced product - densely pressed and without the juiciness you would expect from a fresh patty. Given the prices, I would have hoped for significantly more quality and craftsmanship here.

The food tastes very good and I also liked the selection. Unfortunately, the loaded fries are sticky, which is why they lose one star. Otherwise, I was very satisfied with my visit and would definitely come again. The service was also very attentive. What I liked most was the good selection of vegetarian food. Also that the potato snow is offered as vegan.

Very nice waiters and excellent food

Great restaurant, great service. We had the cheesy burger three times and were a little disappointed that the bacon wasn't crispy. According to the service person, this should have been said beforehand.

Delicious food. Very quaint, cozy restaurant near the harbor. Price-performance very good

Hercules burger and sweet potato fries were veeery delicious. The burger even though it had 2 large patties, was comfortable to eat and didn't make you feel 'heavy' afterwards. Definitely recommend for big eaters!

Wow, what a location. Great ambience in the Oldenburg harbor and therefore very central. Here you can find burgers, bowls, a few classics, pulled pork, desserts and cakes. Plus a hip drinks menu with local gins. We had the whiskey burger with sweet potato fries, a variation of fries with fried vegetables, fries with pulled pork and potato snow with pulled pork. The burger was ok, but also more of a result of a tight system catering. Rather a bit dispassionate. All other dishes were very disappointing. Little spice and pep in 3 meals is no coincidence. The fries variants are served in a casserole dish with the main character of each variant on top. What initially looks pleasant ends in disaster. Logically there were only soggy fries in a soup of sauces and juices. This style of plating would have changed my choice of dish if I had known, because that's just how it had to end. I have never eaten pulled pork without smoke flavor. Isn't this prepared in a smoker? The drinks menu tries to offer something special, but the prices are also increased. That's ok if the quality is right. It's not true for the raspberry spirit, which is annoying at 5.90 euros. The appointment was made in advance and then emailed several times to inform us of the date. In the restaurant we were brought to the table and told that we had to vacate it in 2 hours. Why wasn't this information included in one of the emails that referred to the reservation? That would be fair because you could cancel if you didn't like it. Unfortunately, we had service staff who seemed relatively clumsy when we asked questions and didn't try to compensate for this with personal effort to leave a hospitable impression. The menu has to be studied on your own smartphone and that's exactly what I don't want to have on the table on a nice evening with friends. There is no analog card, which also represents an unnecessary barrier for older visitors. Unfortunately, this restaurant disappointed me, but that's probably due to my expectations. There is system catering here in a great ambience close to the city center. The food is average. If you're looking for something different, keep looking.

We had reserved for 3 people. The restaurant wasn't occupied at that time, we were the only ones sitting inside. After we were assigned a seat, before we sat down, it was immediately mentioned in an unfriendly manner that “you can only occupy this seat for 2 hours”. The service was very unfriendly, the food was very poor for a hefty price. I would have expected more. After we wanted to pay and had stated this, we went to the payment machine and only came back after 20 minutes. Other customers were served during that time. Unfortunately we don't come to this restaurant a second time.

Very nice and stylish restaurant. Orders are placed using a QR code that is placed on the tables. If you want, you can also pay directly via Paypal. My girlfriend and I found it very pleasant. The only drawback was that you couldn't pay the tip later via Paypal. When ordering and paying, we didn't know whether the food tasted good or whether the service was good. But the food was excellent and the service was very nice. So at the end we gave an analogous tip. We will definitely come back again!

Just a few months ago I was extremely enthusiastic about this restaurant and we were guests there very regularly. The food was always homemade and really very good. The last visit really disappointed me. Portions are getting smaller these days and if you want to be full, one main course isn't enough. The weekly changing special menu has been completely canceled and the already poor menu has been around for a long time and I've already eaten it up and down. This is the last time I've been there for now. It just got boring

It was a really successful visit to Embers and Water! The guacamole fries were to die for, the recommended aperitif was very good and the service was attentive! This makes eating out really fun 🤩❤️😀

Great location with very good food. Absolutely recommended. We'd love to come back.

For Generation 50+ it is a shame that the menu is only accessible via QR code. Our son (20) is happy with it. We had three burgers with fries and sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, the latter were soft and fried more soggy than crispy. The burgers (shawama, cheesy bacon and gluten & water) were excellent - the same goes for the fries. The drinks were okay. We reserved the table online. Unfortunately, we sat in the middle of the room, even though tables by the window remained free throughout our stay. The sparse room divider didn't prevent us from having to listen to the conversations at the next table. The payment process took some getting used to at the end and was quite demanding when it came to tipping - due to the default setting of 10-20% of the bill total. Therefore, overall it is only enough for a good three stars.

It was a wonderful time with you 🥰 the most delicious food and service that couldn't be more pleasant or nice

Very tasty, but I personally find the drinks to be above average in price.

Tonight at 22:15 me and my boyfriend entered the restaurant because we wanted to dine there. The restaurant was supposed to be open until 00:00 as indicated on Google Maps (based on the hours they registered). However, we were informed by the personnel of the restaurant that this evening they decided to close SPONTANEOUSLY at 22:00 o'clock 🤣🤣. Outside was raining very heavily and they didn't even offer us the option to have a drink until the rain stops. It is quite well known that Germany has bad customer service in total but I think Glut & Wasser takes bad and unfriendly service to a whole new level 👌🏼. Never visiting again and I would suggest everyone to call before deciding to drive there. RE: Then change your hours on google to "we are closing whenever it's convenient for us". Your answer to my review just confirms what I said. Someone should definitely call before visiting your restaurant. Your working hours aren't fixed and therefore clients cannot depend on you for their dinner. Google isn't misleading, but the information that you have registered is.

Very unfriendly staff obviously!!!! Ideally I would give zero stars!

Food prices are too expensive, although the quality was convincing.

It was okay, prices were moderate, but loud.

Great service, fantastic food, large portions, good prices. We would love to come back!

Terrible burger patties, far too thick and above all gray meat which is really inedible, sad for the price.

It took over an hour from when we placed the order to when we ate, but unfortunately the chicken in the burger was completely over-seasoned. To make up for the waiting time, a coffee, cake or dessert was offered, with the note that the dessert also came from the kitchen and could take longer. And that's how it was, we waited half an hour for that too. And the shop wasn't necessarily full at that late hour... It's a shame, unfortunately not recommended.

It has always been a fixed address and favorite place to go in Oldenburg for me. Unfortunately, the kitchen has deteriorated significantly in the last few months and no longer makes me so happy in terms of price/performance. I hope that things change for the better.

Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right. For the prices quoted, I would like very good taste and a little more love when cooking.

After the first, not entirely optimal, times, we are positively surprised. They had taken our criticism into account and dealt with it fabulously. The food was delicious and so were the cocktails offered. Very nicely decorated interior.

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and friendly service, highly recommended

Very good food, very large portions - the main course was great, only the side salad didn't taste like much. Super nice service, the young lady came often and asked if anything was missing. Very chic and appropriately furnished.

The food was super tasty, the blonde young lady was very friendly, the location on the Hunte/Harbor is beautifully located, I feel very sorry for the service, they should actually get mileage money because they deliver food from the kitchen across the street , drinks have to run 🏵️

The portions are very generous and worth every cent. The seating by the water is rather uncomfortable in the long run, the menu is only available with a QR code, overall a modern restaurant for a young audience.
