Gosch in Norderney

There is nothing to complain about when it comes to the quality of the fish. However, the service could be a little friendlier as the Gosch in Norderney has an Eastern European influence

It's remarkable how a place like this presents itself. Placing an order was very problematic because the drinks lady was also in charge of the orders. Ordered soup as a starter and then two main courses. The dongle rings and there are four dishes ready to be picked up. When asked that the soup was the starter, the answer was "that's just the way it is". While you eat, the staff sits around you and watches videos on the internet on their cell phones. “Top ambience”. Price-performance ratio doesn't fit at all. The name is Gosch but North Sea is “Friendlier - Cheaper”.

Very snippy staff. Speak to each other in their national language. A language barrier is clearly noticeable. Portion (salmon with baked potato) was quite small, but very tasty.

If the staff in the service and kitchen area put as much effort into it as they do with the cell phone, then we could certainly give more stars.

Regards the Gosch Restaurant on Norderney....our first night on the island...27Oct'24....not a good welcoming experience....we asked if they could offer gluten-free items....the help smirked, acted like they had no idea what we wanted, and then gave us a three-ring binder to look for ourselves...we found several items...we waited for a waiter, and learned that we needed to order at the counter...so, i got up and went to the counter....once again, i stressed the need for one meal to be gluten-free....it was served-up very quickly, but the salads included bread, and cream sauce; they had no regard for our gluten-free request...when they re-did the salad, they put excessive oil&vinegar on the salad, even though we specifically requested "on-the-side".....i also noticed that we were charged for three salads, but we only ordered two....the help argued with me, stating that i, in fact, did order three salads...i replied, we are only two people.....as a work-around on the gluten-free issue, we asked if they could put a little crab meat on the wife's salad, so she could have some meat...i indicated that i knew it would be an up-charge...they said that this was not an option on their menu...then he said he could do it for us...when we got the bill, he charged us for an entire $19 crab-meat dinner in addition to the $14 soup/salad order....everything was quick-quick, with no regard for our requests; and no attempt to be a little friendly; and it was not busy; i commented that it was our first night on the island, and no human response....my plate was an obscene amount of runny potato salad with a small chuck of over-breaded fish; i ate about a third of the potato salad; no garnish, no concern for presentation.....when i picked-up my wife's corrected order, the three men behind the counter told me that thy hoped i would not come up to the counter again....i told them that i did not wish for conflict; i only needed to be careful about the gluten-free issue...(in my defense: my wife and i travel a lot; it seems that when we request gluten-free, restaurants are very sympathetic to our wishes, and very accommodating; it is not always easy to travel gluten-free, but most places try to help) this Gosch restaurant was the opposite.....i'm sure that the restaurant chain has a good business plan, but the counter personnel at this Norderney restaurant, this evening, were awful).......by contrast, the next two evenings, we ate at Lieb & Seele restaurant and deLeckerbeck restaurant; both were great experiences; both were free to discuss and recommend menu items...at deLeckerbeck, the cook said we could choose ANY item on the menu, and he would make sure that it was prepared gluten-free.

You will be asked to tip before you have your meal. The fried fish was frozen and swam briefly in the frying pan. So unfortunately we won't be coming back.

It's self-service, but the staff was nice and friendly

It's not Gosch List or Gosch Wenningstedt. The expectations are not met here.

Unfortunately very disappointing! Especially the kids menu, dark fries and completely over-seasoned. Unfortunately, the panfish wasn't a highlight either. The response from the service staff was a shrug of the shoulders.

Unfortunately not so great, we would have expected more for the prices, we had a plate of fine fish, unfortunately all the fish tasted almost the same, very fatty and dry. There is no service, there is self-service. Unfortunately not recommended

Staff consistently listless, food good with some drawbacks.

My wife and I have been coming here to eat for years and it has always been delicious, no matter what dish we have ordered. The interior is very cozy. The staff is very polite and helpful. We always enjoy coming back to eat here, whether in winter or summer. If you've never been here before, you should stop by and see for yourself. I can only recommend it to everyone. Thank you for existing.

Four of us tried to order something to eat on a normal day. The store wasn't crowded either. I've never been so rudely attacked by the service staff in the food serving area as at Gosch on Norderney. The gentlemen at the drinks were nice.

If you want to get something to eat quickly, it's worth a visit. The self-service works, the service behind the counter during the ordering process answers questions from guests who don't know about Gosch in a Nordic, concise and dry way... friendly is different. In my opinion, a photo of each dish is missing so that you can get an idea of ​​the food. My baked potato was pretty mushy (maybe the wrong kind?), and the salmon slices were poorly arranged around it. System catering...?

Gosch, good as always, but slowly too expensive!

The food was very tasty. I can't rate the service, it was self-service

Fast food restaurant with high prices. The atmosphere is ok, smokers here too.

It's like a fast food restaurant, you have to order food and drinks separately at the counter and pay separately, very inconvenient. You get a beeper and when your food is ready you have to pick it up at the counter. It doesn't taste really good there either, so I won't go there anymore

Very experienced, professional and pleasant staff! The food is of excellent quality! My wife and I always enjoy going to Gosch

Self-service, on high chairs in the covered outdoor area with radiant heaters. Perfect for a quick meal in between, but not a cozy holiday restaurant for dinner. That's why we didn't bother and just picked up a fried fish sandwich for €6.50. Fried fish was tasty and fresh. Service at the hatch is not necessarily overly motivated.

Quite nice and tasty but very crowded and not very comfortable.

System catering at a high level. The food was delicious, even the kids ate it all

I only ate a fish sandwich with fried fish on hand on the way. Value for money here is okay for €6.50. It was a large fish stick :-) in a long roll. Otherwise relatively expensive for self-service. Looked comfortable though.

Very tasty and fresh fries. The herring roll was not well topped and was a cheap baked roll. You can get this in a better version elsewhere. Self-service, but courteous counter staff.

4-star fast food restaurant Good food and drink selection and quality. Friendly staff

Food is good and ready extremely quickly. Unfortunately, prices have risen massively

Tasty and varied menu, but portions mostly too large

All I can say is: Gosch shrimp - delicious to melt in!

We stayed as a couple in the Gosch, as is known SB, staff polite and friendly. My wife had fish and chips, although the fish was very dark, I had the platter of fish fillet, lots of bones. 🤦‍♀️

2 crab rolls for €17.80 is probably completely excessive. The taste is also rather disappointing

We just had a drink there. Service was a bit stressed, so not quite as tolerant of our drink requests...

Unfortunately there's too much going on, so it's very loud. The food is not worth the money.

Gosch on Norderney is moving towards the level of a better fish snack...

As always, very tasty. There is no table service, you place your orders yourself at the counter and then pick them up. But it doesn't bother at all. It's cozy inside and outside. Good selection of food and drinks. Gosch is a must for us as soon as we are either on Norderney or in St. Peter Ording.

Everything great. We'd love to come back.

Top fish rolls really tasty and the best fried potatoes I've eaten in years!!!

fast and friendly service! The fish was very tasty...

No, Gosch, that was nothing. Food was okay, but above all the service was subpar. Sure, Gosch is more of just a better snack bar, but taking the order and being visibly annoyed was definitely too much of a good thing. First and last time there. 👎

It's just a self-service chain. The food is okay, but very expensive considering the lack of service.

The name is everything here. You can eat much better in other restaurants.

Wir holten uns da oft im Straßenverkauf n schnelles Krabbenbrötchen auf die Hand. Aber eher auch nur, weil die Lage so gut ist. Preislich wie alle anderen Fischbrötchenbuden, geschmacklich auch, aber trotzdem wirkt das helle Brötchen einfach nur pappig und lieblos. Ein paar Meter weiter ist das Brötchen knusprig und die Krabben liegen dekorativ auf nem Salatblatt.

Auf Norderney angekommen, führt der erste Weg zum Mittag nach Gosch. Letzte Jahre war’s auch nicht berauschend, diesmal aber enttäuschend. Goschen Norderney hat stark nachgelassen. Ist nicht lohnenswert . Schlechter Service, noch schlechteres Essen. Wir waren früher immer Gosch Fans, das ist lange vorbei.

At Gosch it always tastes great and the ambience is equally beautiful in every restaurant. But unfortunately I think that the portions have become a little smaller and the salad was very careless on the plate!

Div. Besuche, immer wieder Grottenschlecht. Schade, daß ein gutes Fischprodukt so von Nicht Fachleuten totgebraten wird. Hatte heute mal ne Currywurst, auch nicht besser. Die Weinesind toll und preiswert, aber die werden jafertiggekauft. Ist halt nur ein Fischimbiss

There was fish & chips today. Not good quality of ingredients. Small fries including hard fragments and a few small pieces of fish in batter that were fried too long. There is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of craftsmanship. Remoulade OK.

Formerly yucky, today yucky – welcome to Gosch on Norderney, where the fish are slower than the service! 🐟😬 If you feel like tasting old fat and turning your stomach, then you've come to the right place! The food was a disaster. I seriously wonder if they reuse the fat from the time of the first fish sandwiches because it tasted so old I almost felt like I was transported back to a time machine. 🚀 The bowl? I don't know what to call it, but it definitely wasn't a bowl - more like a bunch of sad, non-fresh ingredients that would have been better left in the fridge. 🥴 And then the cashier... wow! Friendly as a sun - but only until the moment I didn't leave a tip on the card machine. Immediately her mood turned into a hurricane of insults! 😤 With a theatrical *clap* she slammed the beeper and the bill on the counter and turned away in a huff, as if I had just plucked the last herring off her plate. My son showed more manners in kindergarten, and he couldn't even speak properly back then! 🤷‍♂️ Gosch used to be really great, but this seems to be the new 'Gosch principle': ripping off with lousy food and a bad mood. It's a shame, Norderney deserves better. 🌊👎

Eating the fish was super tasty

Relaxed atmosphere, good food and good wine. If you like it casual, this is the place for you

The table was stuck, two of the four dishes were mediocre and two were terrible. Baked fish (block) like from the freezer. Annoyed staff. Wasted time. Never again x 4!!!

Rarely have I experienced such unfriendly staff. No response to my greeting - neither hello nor hello. Locality and price performance are good. It's just a shame about the unmotivated staff. Dear management: please treat the “lady” behind the cash register to order food often with a coffee! Otherwise she runs the risk of falling with her head on the cash register - no exaggeration! Best regards Elke

A simple restaurant for anyone who wants to have a bite to eat or drink. We often go there in the evening to have a nightcap.

Clean is different. The tables stick and are not disinfected. After clearing away the women stand around and wait.

Drinks and food were very good, quick service

There was a quick fried fish sandwich on hand. Taste ok to good. The price is also reasonably reasonable at €6.50, although not cheap. The service was (once again) unbearable... 0.0% joy at work. Friendliness and things like goodbye, bon appetit or similar are probably foreign words. Otherwise good, directly opposite there is a fountain with benches and the Comversationshaus with a green meadow and also plenty of benches.

Nie wieder! Backfisch ist einfach nur ein etwas größeres Fischstäbchen. Es gleicht einer Kantine. Keine Ahnung warum so ein Hype um Gosch gemacht wird.

Everything is great, only from Saturday onwards half the fish is served. I find this to be an outrage and will no longer consider this restaurant. Sorry, I can be kidding myself. P.S. the picture was from Friday. Saturday there was 1/3 fish on the plate, unfortunately not photographed because of the anger. That’s it for us at Gosch

Parts of the condition should try kindness. What a rude, arrogant 'lady' when taking the order. Unfortunately that doesn't work at all!

Rolls with crabs... a “unique” experience 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've eaten better here and the service was also better, especially the friendliness

A kind of posh snack bar! As expected, fish dishes and fruits of the sea, but also classics such as currywurst and pommis. The prices are just okay. Since you have to pick up the dishes yourself at the ordering counter and therefore provide part of the service yourself, the term restaurant would be wrong for me. The dishes you get leave nothing to be desired... they are very tasty.

Update: After a year we were here again. It was excellent again. We ate shrimp and a glass of white wine. It was very tasty. Nice atmosphere, good service. We'll be back.

Very good. You will now be welcomed and a table will be assigned. It doesn't get any better than this; Thank Corona 08/27/2023 still GOOD, but you have to find the table yourself🍌 April 25th, 2024 still good, table was no problem, despite “good weather” 😇 September 14th, 2024 every evening 😋

The food was great, the large shrimp plate, plaice Finkenwerder and fried fish were all highly recommended!

The instructions for self-service are hidden on the beer mats. There is delicious fish of all kinds

Fine fast food. Order and pay in advance(!) at the counter, food and drinks separately. Bring drinks and finished dishes to the table yourself. The food itself was ok, but definitely too expensive. Fast food restaurant prices.

The waitresses don't know any please or thank you and they certainly don't know how to smile. If you want to eat something you have to wait until one of the conditions has finished writing your WhatsApp message. If you want to know what types of tea there are, all you get is a perplexed look.

Even if you have to get the food yourself, it's quick and well organized. Plus, the food is super delicious. Ambience very nice.

If you like fish, you'll get your money's worth.

We stopped there for lunch. It's self-service there (which is perfectly fine) but why isn't it written anywhere (small pieces of paper on the table or menu). The service clears away the dirty dishes and none of them even said: please go in to order. After more than 5 minutes, a nice woman from the next table pointed it out to us. Food was okay but not a highlight either. The weather was good, so we were able to sit outside, which was very comfortable.

Gosch quality. Very tasty, affordable, very good wines.

Food was good, the fried fish could have been a little bigger in my personal opinion. Price performance is good. You order the food and drinks here at the counter, you get a transponder that sounds as soon as the food is ready.

Quite nice at lunchtime. Classic fish in a roll, delicious and priced like the surrounding brathouses.

Unterirdisch schlecht, die Familie Gosch auf Sylt würde sich schämen! Selten so ein schlechtes Matjes- und Brathering Brötchen gegessen!!!

The Gosch in Binz is much more beautiful, the most beautiful is the Gosch in Sankt-Peter Ording and almost by the sea, the Gosch in Norderney is in the middle of the city, which is about as ugly as Bottrop or Gelsenkirchen (sorry) there are just too many Construction sins. But the food was - as always - very good.

Food cold, service tried hard, but not German speaking, fried fish looks like prefabricated industrial goods, disappointing 0 points

Gosch is not far from the beach, like all Gosch branches I know, it is set up as a self-service restaurant only with a clearing service, otherwise comfortably furnished and clean, some with high tables, staff friendly, food is delicious. We will definitely come back to one or two branches.

Delicious fish, relaxed atmosphere. Despite the high number of guests, the staff is largely friendly.

Gosh as you know it. Not exceptional but good. Noble snack bar. You know what you are getting and the price is ok.

We ate here three times during our vacation - not without reason. Good selection of fish, reasonable price, good quality, very fresh. We enjoyed it very much (the zander fillet with prawns and the king prawns, all fresh from the grill, are particularly recommended) and the process (self-service, no reservation possible) proved to be very practical. A big recommendation!

There are better fish sandwiches. Life of names

Food was fine as always, service was the problem, despite the fact that there was dirt on the floor. The three of us stand around in the corner and while eating we ask if we're ready.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed. Ordered a lake view and a fine fish plate. Everything was full of fat. Actually the fish should be grilled. Also, the fish wasn't seasoned at all. No taste. At least we will no longer visit the Gosch on Norderney.

Good food, everything hectic and a bit loud. Price performance ratio critical.

Deducted from self-service. The Gosch is a mega fish restaurant

A beautiful and clean holiday island with a great beach. You can feel that you are on the North Sea. A harsh climate with lots of sun and wind, waves that you have to get used to. Everything is geared towards tourism, lots of shops and restaurants with nice and friendly staff. The island is worth a trip and it's easy to get there. There's a ferry every hour and you're there after an hour and a half.

I can't judge the service and ambience. But the fish sandwiches are delicious.

So far everything is good. Food was delicious. Prices are okay. The service... Well, there is none 😅. Self-service

About 10 years ago I ate regularly at Gosch on Sylt for the first time and was thrilled. Over the years I have eaten at Gosch at a few offshoots, in various holiday resorts, and noticed that it was no longer what I knew from Sylt back then. Now on Norderney I was extremely disappointed with Gosch. You can now compare it with the North Sea restaurants, only the prices are higher at Gosch, the service is worse and the staff is unfriendly and totally uninterested in the customer. No thanks, that's enough for me. Shame about the “Gosch” brand

Mass production! absolutely nothing special, basically North Sea quality on a different plate. Fish rolls sold outside are not recommended, mine was very sticky and was already a bit on the table. Inside there are almost only standing tables, so to speak you want to have the customer in the store, but make it as uncomfortable as possible for them so that they can quickly give up the table again. I don't have to go back here.

We always enjoy visiting Gosch.

Low quality of food Bad fish. Overcooked tuna steak. Warm oysters... Service unfriendly The wine was delicious

Auf der Suche nach einem leckeren Backfischbrötchen haben wir uns ganz auf den bekannten Namen "Gosch" verlassen. An der To-Go Theke bekommt man die Brötchen direkt auf die Hand. Für 7,50 Euro bekommt man leider einen Backfisch, den selbst Iglu besser hinbekommt. Quadratisch, trocken, alt und nicht der rede wert. Wer mal in den Genuss eines echten Backfisches, frisch frittiert gekommen ist, der kann hier nur den Kopf schütteln und das Weite suchen! Hier gilt eher sehen und gesehen werden aber wer qualitativ hochwertig essen gehen möchte, egal ob auf die Hand oder vor Ort, sollte sich doch andere Lokalitäten suchen!

Great place to have some good seafood

The fish sandwiches are highly recommended!!! Price-performance ratio is ok.

We ate there once and it was something different. You look for a place and, for example, scan the menu, choose something, then go to the counter and order and pay. Then you get a device when it beeps and the food is ready to be picked up. The food was very, very tasty. When you're done, you get up and leave. The tables are cleared immediately, our table was a bit sticky and not clean, but the food was great. The price is also rather high. But for fresh fish. Thanks Has a bit of mce's concept in Edel

Disappointing! It was our first time at Gosch and we didn't know the “self-service concept”. We didn't like that at all. We were there at lunchtime and the shop was busy. Our food was very disappointing, frozen breaded fish, ready-made mayo with a few dried herbs added and offered as “remoulade”. Fries not cooked through. Ready-made salad with a few pieces of pepper and cucumber, mixed with a few drops of ready-made dressing. No, people, that passes for cafeteria grub for me; for me it has nothing in common with good food. The fish fry around the corner is way better - even without a well-known name. Why is the store still full? No idea!!!

Good concept, the kitchen is constantly bubbling away. Fish dishes delicious and great value for money!

Very nice restaurant manager; Oysters and mussels excellent

Outrageously expensive! No service. Children's portion 11 euros and the fish fingers are inedible

Self-service, great food, lively atmosphere
