Grilly Idol in Hamburg

Very good food, also gluten-free options, very friendly staff, would go back.

I had originally given it a 3/5, based on the long wait times and the high price for mediocre food. But since the owners are trying to eliminate honest and fair reviews as supposed defamation, I'm giving it another star. Best regards

Very tasty burgers near the Reeperbahn and Hamburger Berg. The taste is great and the portions are generous. The selection and value for money are also good. The restaurant's decor is rather spartan, but in keeping with the area. In summer, you can also sit in the back courtyard. The servers were very different at both locations: one was very nice and friendly, the other rather bored and annoyed. Nevertheless, the taste makes it a recommendation.

The best burger place in Hamburg

great place, especially for gluten free! No issues with Celiac

Gluten Free Hamburger is veryyy good

Best burger I have had in quite a while, the meat was perfectly pink in the middle and the bun soft and cozy. Staff super friendly and the weather hotter than hell!

For me, these are still the best burgers in Hamburg. It's a shame they're no longer serving Ratsherren. Otherwise, as always, amazing, great atmosphere, super friendly staff.

We went here for dinner because we have a family member who has to eat gluten-free. We received incredibly friendly service and our food arrived super quickly. The burgers are incredibly delicious. The gluten-free burger was also very good. We ordered it a second time. What also stood out was that they served gluten-free beer! Something you rarely get in restaurants. Many thanks to the team! Keep up the great work. ;)

Super delicious 😋 and great service

Great upstairs, terrible downstairs Small restaurant with good food at slightly higher prices. The service is very good and friendly. Unfortunately, the restrooms are in a disastrous condition and poorly maintained. The soap was empty and the hairdryer didn't work.

Nice restaurant near the Reeperbahn. The burger was very tasty, but the fries were a bit hard (they seemed like they'd been fried twice). The homemade lemonades are highly recommended! The house beer was also good.

This was our second visit, and it was just as phenomenal as the first. The staff were incredibly accommodating and, despite the large number of customers, kept checking on us to see if we were okay. The food was incredibly delicious; in my opinion, they have the best burgers I've ever had anywhere.

Delicious burgers and beer in a very nice atmosphere. Small and cozy.

A very delicious restaurant. The food arrives super quickly. The service is very friendly and provides excellent information. When ordering a vegan burger with a gluten-free bun, they immediately pointed out that the bun wasn't vegan, so they were able to easily change the order. The diverse vegan selection is also great. I'd definitely go back!

We were at Grilly Idol yesterday and we were thrilled! The gluten-free burgers are really delicious, and most importantly, I had no problems afterward. A huge plus for me as someone with celiac disease! They even had gluten-free beer, another plus. The staff were also super friendly and attentive; you just feel welcome. We'll definitely be back!

The homemade black bean burger was surprisingly fantastic. I'm usually very picky about veggie burgers (I only eat vegetarian), but this one was truly amazing. I ordered it as a cheeseburger with the sloppy fries – incredibly delicious! The service was a bit slow. It's also important to note that you can only pay by card here, and it's not exactly cheap.

We were welcomed and seated very nicely, drinks took a little longer but were still ok, service very friendly

Wow, the best burger I've had in Hamburg so far! The homemade lemonades are also incredibly delicious. I'm already looking forward to the next time; the truffle fries were especially amazing.

A very relaxed restaurant with attentive service. The burgers (we tried them) get 10/10 and the fries 12/10.

When I mentioned my celiac disease, I was immediately assured that they were familiar with it. Contamination isn't an issue, as they have separate areas and utensils. The service was excellent, and the food was truly delicious.

Very relaxed place, super friendly service, and the chili burger with black bean patty is the tastiest burger I've had in a long time! Definitely recommended!

Great burgers, a bit pricey, either smashed or regular. One star deducted: late in the day, you can taste the dirty grill on the petty fries.

Got a table without a reservation, friendly staff, fast service and super delicious food and drinks.

great burgers, very friendly staff

Nice place for a real Hamburger from Hamburg 🍔

A really nice and pretty shop. The employee who served us was super friendly and attentive – that made a great first impression right away. I had the teriyaki burger from the daily special: a real treat! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the meat was also delicious. The burger could have been a bit more generously topping for my taste – being served a burger and then seeing nothing but bread on your plate doesn't really appeal to me, and the burger also seems rather small. What I really didn't like was the pungent smell of urine in the men's restroom. That can really ruin your appetite, and that's a shame – otherwise, the shop would have earned a full five stars from me.

A restaurant in Hamburg where I had really delicious hamburgers. 🙂

August 3, 2025: Here again: this time I had the gluten-free teriyaki burger! Absolutely outstanding! First visit: Extremely delicious (barbecue burger with jalapenos and chili cheese fries) in both the gluten-free and regular versions.

VERY VERY VERY TASTY, highly recommended. I had the smash brunch which is a 10/10, really awesome👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Highly recommended! We went there on a very busy day without a reservation – and yet we were seated right away, which was a very pleasant surprise. The team was super friendly and well-organized. The food arrived in just 13 minutes – despite the place being packed – and was absolutely top-notch both in terms of taste and appearance. The portions were generous and very filling. Particularly important to us: gluten-free options. And that's exactly what was really impressive here! From the burger bun to the drinks – even gluten-free beer and other alcoholic drinks were available. A real highlight for people with gluten intolerance. We went home very happy – and one thing is for sure: the risk of repeating this experience is extremely high!

A very nice, small restaurant with very friendly service. The food was excellent; we ordered a cheeseburger, which I highly recommend. They even had great gluten-free buns.

Rustic ambience with very good food and friendly service

I've had the best gluten-free burger here in ages! The lunch menu is also highly recommended.

We were recommended this place by local captain Jens, and rightly so, in our opinion. The burgers were truly amazing, and despite the crowd, the drinks and food arrived quickly and tasted amazing.

If you want to eat good burgers, this is the place for you. The gluten-free burgers are also incredibly delicious 😋

We were there spontaneously, the staff were super friendly, and the drinks and food arrived quickly and were delicious! Highly recommended :)

Burgers and fries were all great. The price/performance ratio wasn't quite right...

Classic hamburger flavor, friendly and smiling waiters, and good service.

Very tasty burgers, nice atmosphere, very friendly service. And gluten-free is no problem.

Great service, delicious beer. Sweet potato fries were a blast.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! The best burgers in Hamburg, the vegetarian and vegan options are also really good, and they even have celiac-friendly and gluten-free burger patties! The staff is super knowledgeable, friendly, competent, and extremely helpful. The location is also super cool. I would say, whether you love meat and burgers, are vegetarian or vegan, or have celiac disease or need a gluten-free diet, everyone can eat the best burgers in Hamburg here! Absolutely fantastic! We're thrilled and went there two days in a row!

Super tasty burger, highly recommended fries were also awesome

The gluten-free burger tastes great, and the portions are generous. The atmosphere is also great, and above all, the staff is super friendly. We'll be back anytime ☺️☺️

I came here by chance. The burgers were so delicious! The service was great. I absolutely recommend this place!

Great burgers and a really great place.

It's a great place to eat. They also offer gluten-free options, and the price is right.

Super delicious burgers and friendly service! Highly recommended, even for larger groups with advance reservations!

We stopped by spontaneously and I'm glad we stopped in. Great burgers, we had a blue cheeseburger and a BBQ burger, simply amazing burgers. They also had chili cheese fries and truffle fries. Really good, highly recommended. The homemade lemonade was incredibly strong, it's truly homemade, nothing from a can. Despite the fact that Schlagermove was in Hamburg today and the place was running at full capacity, the atmosphere was friendly and we, as guests, didn't feel any stress. A real recommendation here in Hamburg.

Burgers are awesome. Delicious house beer.👍🍺

One of the best gluten-free burgers I've ever had! Highly recommended. Reasonably priced too.

Came across this place while looking for a cheap meal. Although it wasn't very cheap, it was good vfm. The burgers were decent, and the portion of fries was big.

Delicious unusual burgers, great fries

The fries were over-fried in every way and drenched in ketchup and mayo—inedible. The burger was okay, but there was too much sauce, making it too greasy. The atmosphere was okay, and the service was friendly. The fries were significantly overpriced.

They only accept card payments, but I'd still like to decide for myself whether I want to pay with cash or card. 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Great place with great food. Almost everything is also available in vegan. Great service and great advice. Nice location. Great place with great food. Almost everything is also available in vegan. Amazing service that gives good recommendations. Nice location

Ein kleines feines burger Restaurant Kann denn smash burger wärmsten empfehlen und die hausgemachten Limonaden sind super lecker und künstlich süß! Auch die Preise sind für die Qualität echt günstig! Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.

La mejor hamburguesa que he probado! Tomó la hamburguesa de queso chile con papas fritas de queso chile. Absolutamente delicioso y perfectamente hecho! Tampoco hay mucha calle para sentarse a comer. Y el restaurante estaba muy bien decorado también.

The menu on google maps is not updated and didn’t have the chance to take a pic. My husband tried this whit beer and said it was really tasty. I like their alcohol free variety. I just wish there was the possibility to have smaller burgers. I tried the walnuts and blue cheese. It was really good. I think the fries were a bit too dried but my husband loved them. The malt vinegar and their sauces are really great. Staff were friendly and music okay.

Super delicious. Super friendly service, and gluten-free too. Super cool atmosphere

A very authentic restaurant with beautiful decor, super friendly staff, and incredibly delicious burgers. There's something for everyone here, including vegetarian, vegan, and/or gluten-free options. We were there with our child, and we even had the option of ordering a kids' burger and getting something to color in. Everything was super relaxed. Definitely recommend it :)

Seems to be very popular. We went in without an appointment and got a seat. We were served quickly. The burger selection is quite limited. Unfortunately, it was also far too expensive for the price and size. My Smash Burger was good, but very boring compared to others I've had elsewhere. They almost only serve fries... which you have to order separately. Very monotonous. There are better places where you can get more and better food.

I had a smash burger with fries and mayo. The burger was very tasty, but the fries were a bit dry for me, even with the mayo. Service was very friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. You should reserve a table in advance. Card payments only.

My wife found Grilly Idol looking for gluten free food. A very cool surprise. The food was excellent, the service super friendly. Love the name!

Delicious burgers, fast and friendly service! Always worth a visit! Most importantly, almost everything is vegetarian or gluten-free.

Yes, it's definitely worth going there. For gluten-free food

The Smash Burger was delicious, as were the fries! It certainly won't be our last visit!

Delicious lunch special – burger with fries for €14.50. The food came very quickly, and the service was super friendly. There are also some great and interesting beers on the menu, which I'll try on my next visit!

The shop has its charm and the food was really tasty and good.

Full recommendation, all burgers were great.

Excellent burgers, cordial staff. Nice atmosphere and music, reasonable prices with (very) spicy toppings freely available on each table.

Burgers are delicious. The fries are thinly sliced ​​and deliciously crispy. The homemade juices are very tasty. Can be recommended

Very cool shop. Telephone contact in advance was super nice and reserving a table for 12 people was no problem. The burgers and fries were delicious and the homemade lemonade was a blast. Thank you ☺️

Very good fries and excellent burgers for an average to slightly above average price (in Hamburg) - but justifiably so.

Burger rolls cold… Avocado cream not good… Fries sticks hard… Do nothing compare with other burger shops.

Very good food, it was very nice there.

Great place with unique atmosphere and smiling staff.

Not much to say here really. The absolute best hamburger place I've ever eaten at and the gluten-free options were extremely good. In addition, very good service and cozy atmosphere. Well worth a detour. You go here again and again.

Best gluten-free burger I've eaten so far! Super friendly staff. The sauces from Papapeno are also highly recommended. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the burger, I was so hungry and it was far too good to stop for a photo. We'll be back! The price is absolutely justified as good regional products are used.

I ate here with a group of friends. I found the place by chance reading in the reviews that there was the option of having gluten-free bread. Delicious hamburger and gluten-free bread too. Very fast service. Nice atmosphere.

Staff and food were great. Lunch prices were also reasonable.

Best burger in town. However, children are not welcome, it is more of an adult restaurant.

My sister has celiac disease and eating gluten-free worked great! If it had been even slightly contaminated with wheat, she would have noticed it straight away - so a clear recommendation for celiac disease patients! The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly! We would love to come back 😊

Food was good, service great. I was missing some atmosphere in the store.

Gluten free burger and fries. Top

Absolutely recommended! Super friendly, super tasty, and really great for people who have celiac disease or need to eat gluten-free.

Super tasty burgers – absolutely recommended! Gluten-free is no problem here either. Particularly positive: The fries are prepared in a separate deep fryer and are therefore also suitable for people with celiac disease.

Why don't you let us sit, it was completely empty outside

Excellent welcoming and warming service! Good was delicious and even gluten-free options. Gonna be back for sure!

Great burgers, great music, super nice waiters

Very good burgers, nice service - everything was perfect.

Lunch menu: 1 burger + 1 side + 1 drink for 17 euros is a bit too much. The patty is also too salty.

Very good food and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

A masterpiece of food culture. One of Hamburg's best burgers. Everything from classic to unusual dishes is available. The prices are unfortunately a bit on the high side, but a visit is always worth it. Top-notch service and truly international—so communications are easy.

Very tasty food, including the gluten-free burgers, friendly service

And another highlight with additional GLUTEN-FREE burgers on offer. Gg Lammsbräu complements the offering

Pretty decent burgers, a bit too small for the price. The fries aren't great value for money either. But it's okay.

Seems a bit expensive to me, so I tend to do it without me, thank you. Nevertheless, all the best to your business

Good burgers, nice ambience, prices ok.
