Haus Prein in Dortmund

I wanted to celebrate my birthday here today. But I wasn't the only one. Another group, also celebrating, played unbearably loud music the entire time, apparently with the owners' approval. We couldn't exchange a single word. The food was good, but the overall experience was terrible.

I went here for dinner with my friends last Friday, and we weren't sure if the kitchen was still open. Luckily, it was, and we were able to eat there. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and humorous. The menu has a good selection of different dishes. I can definitely recommend it.

The food was okay, but nothing more. The waiter, however, seemed very listless; he didn't even ask if everything was okay. What we found completely unacceptable was the waiter standing on the terrace among the guests, smoking. You just don't do that in front of guests.

Excellent value for money. The meat dishes are excellent. The salad bar could have included olives and pepperoni, for example. The food, service, and atmosphere were impeccable and, once again, excellent. Full stars.

Not recommended.....The food is in no way restaurant quality. A soup of the day recommended by the waiter turned out to be hot water with a very thin stock cube, valued at €0.30. In a restaurant I expect a properly cooked soup/stock and not a stock cube. The grilled plate for €22.50 had an estimated value of €1.25 and consisted of 3 long rolls of minced meat, a pork cutlet, a small piece of meat (indistinguishable), probably beef, a roughly chopped piece of liver that was inadequately trimmed, stringy and tough, and a piece of bacon with eyes of cartilaginous meat. Buried under this almost tasteless meat, which was cooked beyond all expectations, were a handful of soggy chips in tomato-dried rice. The fiasco was topped off by the garnish, which consisted of a very rotten lettuce leaf and a notched slice of raw carrot with no seasoning. The plate, although large, was unrestrainedly overloaded and not very appetisingly presented. The Aiwa also smelled and tasted old and a bit musty. According to the friendly waiter, the best comes last: a lukewarm schnapps that had nothing to do with schnapps and was served on the house (undrinkable). Well, what can I say? It ranged from substitution to complete ignorance on the part of the kitchen staff. I don't think there's a chef at work there, more likely a group of toilet cleaners who don't even know the ingredients for hollandais sauce, let alone the technical skills to prepare it. The owner of this restaurant should curb his greed... because herb butter should also be made with butter as the main ingredient... What a shame, not even Meggele quality. All in all, lies and deception, not worth a visit... you can save yourself the €60 for two people. Start cooking instead of splashing around with inferior food. Not worth a second chance. A completely disappointed and disgusted guest of your restaurant trap

Yes, just really delicious food in a great atmosphere.

Just a traditional excursion restaurant.

Very nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Recommended

Very appealing, very accommodating and experienced support. Delicious food from a-z

Anyone who likes meat will love it here. The food is consistently delicious - whether it's cevapcici, half and half or the schnitzel - everything is perfectly prepared and tastes great. Children are also well catered for. Both the children's portions and those for adults definitely won't leave anyone hungry. A real highlight is the number of waiters - absolutely above average. While in many restaurants you have to wait forever before you can reorder, here you feel well looked after. Drinks are served quickly and attentively, without having to wave. A waiter can sometimes be a bit rude (I was almost inclined to deduct a star for that), but this is more than made up for by another colleague - easily recognizable by his glasses: so friendly and warm that you immediately feel welcome. The excellently stocked salad bar also deserves recognition – fresh, varied and really tasty. All in all, a fabulous Croatian restaurant that should definitely be on your radar in Dortmund. It's just fun to eat here!

Einfach enttäuschend! Bereits mit der nicht auffindbaren Reservierung am Ostersonntag, fing das Desaster an. Plätze bekamen wir im total überhitzten Wintergarten. Tischdeko zu Ostern lieblos. Schnell bekamen wir die Speisekarten und unsere Getränkebestellung wurde unaufmerksam entgegen genommen, so das bei der Ausgabe etwas fehlte. Essen wurde nach der Bestellung zügig serviert. Wir hatten unterschiedliche Gerichte und es hat allen geschmeckt. Das Gemüse war al dente und die Kroketten matschig, aber ansonsten in Ordnung. Der Service war allerdings wirklich schlecht. 45 Minuten ohne Getränke. Null Aufmerksamkeit durch das Personal. Bodenlos wurde es dann bei der Rechnung. 2 Mal innerhalb von 35 Minuten, mit der Bitte getrennt/mit Karte/ Bar bezahlen zu dürfen, angefordert. Beim 3. Mal legte man uns dann wortlos den Beleg auf den Tisch. Nachdem wir dann schon forsch und auch wirklich genervt noch einmal darauf hingewiesen haben, dass wir getrennt und auch mit Karte bezahlen wollen, kam ein absolut freches provozierendes Grinsen vom Personal. Wir haben dann alles selber auseinander gerechnet und schockiert über so viel Unverschämtheit das Restaurant verlassen. Das kleine Schnäpschen und der Schokoriegel/Eis fürs Kind gibt es scheinbar auch nicht mehr. Traurig, dass man als Gast so wenig geschätzt wird!

If you just want to eat something small and maybe just drink beer, then you are not allowed in. The waiter looks at you as if you were something unworthy and then insults you: “There is no chip shop here”. That's how we felt after a hike and of course our mood was gone. We, with our great hiking clothes and vegetarians, were totally irritated by his behavior and left. We have seen so much of the world and eaten in all sorts of restaurants in the world, but we have never experienced anything like this. I can't say what the food is like there because we weren't allowed to get beer and fries there. The customer is king, but not in this restaurant.

A little old but the quality and service is still at a high level. We have been regular customers for over 30 years and the food has always tasted good. Keep it up.

Very nice restaurant Highly recommended

A nice and well-rounded team. Thank you for the hospitality!

My wife and I always enjoy going there to eat!

Solid and food was quite good. But I would have promised a little more than that. But you can't go wrong with the restaurant.

Typical Croatian hospitality with very good food. The chateaubriand is highly recommended!!!

Very nice restaurant where you can eat and drink very well and comfortably. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended. 👍 👍👍

Hello, I've been going to Haus Prein for over 50 years. My parents used to be regulars there. What is special is when the boss of the house greets you personally. We always enjoy going there. To eat, it's simply not as expensive as in other restaurants. Service is always attentive. I find the ambience to be very rustic in the old days. In the winter garden it is rather very spacious and impersonal. Lg

We enjoyed it very much. Very friendly welcome. The staff is very nice, friendly and competent. Would love to come back.

We ate very well and the service was excellent in a nice atmosphere, everything was tip top 👍

Nice service and good food. Hardly any waiting time, fresh salad bar.

Fries were very hard. Otherwise everything was super tasty

Nice restaurant with good food. Lots of space and everything perfect.

The portions are generous and the food is delicious as always. The beef fillet tasted more like rump steak for the second time, I hope I'm making a mistake here. As always, the waiters are very attentive and nice, and the atmosphere is, as always, very cozy. Unfortunately, the schnapps didn't taste particularly good for the second time. Still a lot of stars from us because all in all everything is still right.

Ich hatte mich sehr auf das Wiener Schnitzel gefreut, das bisher bei Prein das Beste in der Gegend war. Aber dann bekam ich Bratkartoffeln, die offensichtlich vom Vortag waren und nur warm gemacht. Das Schnitzel war gut paniert, aber nicht zart. Ich bin ziemlich sicher es war kein Kalb. Kann ich aber nicht beweisen. ich habe ein Drittel des Schnitzels gegessen, die Kartoffeln nur probiert und erst bei der Rechnung gesagt, dass es nicht gut war. Antwort des Kellners: Das hätten sie eher sagen sollen. Ich wollte keinen Preisnachlass, ich wollte nur, dass es in der Küche gesagt wird. meine Begleitung war zufrieden mit ihrem Essen. Ich habe dann Salat gegessen. Der war einfach und frisch. Die Krönung war abends heftige Darmprobleme. Leider - nie wieder Prein für mich.

The food is delicious but the service leaves something to be desired... very slow and rude, we were constantly ignored and they spoke to me rudely(

Rustic cuisine, nice service, I've been coming here again and again for years. We have also had several family celebrations here. Always delicious!

You feel comfortable, the food is delicious and everyone can eat at the same time if you are there with several people. I'm amazed that the menu has been shortened so much...unfortunately I also have to say that the quality of the food has declined!

So the food was OK. I had a grill plate. But the rooms were totally overheated so that when you ate you sweated.

Food is good, service was unfortunately bad, unfriendly and rude. It may be that the other colleagues have a different attitude, but I won't go there again for the time being.

☝️😊 The food was okay. The waiter, however, was underground. Grouchy, unfriendly and slippery. Not exactly communicative.

Der Service war unterirdisch Keine Begrüßung oder Begleitung zum Tisch( wörtlich: "Gehen sie in den Wintergarten und nehmen Sie einen Tisch für 4) Keine freundliche Ansprache am Tisch und einsilbige Fragen ohne Danke und Bitte Der Wintergarten hatte Bahnhofsatmosphäre und wurde durch relativ laute Musik versucht zu überspielen Der Tisch hatte keine Tischdecke, was das Kantinenflair noch verstärkte Das Essen war sehr magenfreundlich( man könnte auch sagen lauwarm Das Pfeffersteak meines Mannes war wohl von einem alten Ochsen Ganz zu Schweigen davon, dass nach der Garstufe gefragt wurde Das Hirschgoulasch war sehr überschaubar, so dass ich zu Hause noch etwas essen musste Das war der 2. Versuch Uns sieht das Lokal nicht wieder Wir sind deutlich Besseres gewohnt

We were guests there for the first time. The portions were very generous and the price was very fair. We all really enjoyed the food, and the salad bar was also very good and tasteful. We really like the atmosphere, we felt very comfortable. Would love to come back.

Here you get a decent portion for a fair price. The service staff is always friendly and attentive and the food is really good. On weekends you should definitely make a reservation, especially if you want to eat with several people.

Great service - you feel completely comfortable

Simply delicious and great as it has been for years.

We reserved a table for 4 people in advance. It was very busy but we were served very well and quickly. There's something for everyone on the menu! The food was very tasty, we had everything from the grill plate to the fillet steak. We can only recommend Haus Prein!

Very cozy atmosphere and delicious food. We'd love to come back.

Full 5 stars 🌟 deserved. The food was great and the atmosphere was great. I particularly liked the staff here especially the evening waiter Vijelko. We'll definitely be back soon

Always my pleasure. It's a 70 km drive, so unfortunately we don't find time too often. Since 2018 we have been going regularly when time allows. When I was undergoing chemo, the separate room was prepared for us because the Leukos were in the basement. The staff is friendly and loving. The food is always good. I can't understand the reviews on trip advisor. If you order a pork schnitzel, you should be happy that you don't get any dark meat. We've never had a problem with the food there.

Die männliche Bedienung war vor Unfreundlichkeit kaum zu toppen. Beim Tausch von Beilagen hätte ich keine Chance. Die Folienkartoffel war leider die geschmacklich Schlechteste überhaupt. Vollkommen verkocht und die Soße leider auch nicht besonders schmackhaft. Lediglich der Salat vom Salatbuffet war OK.

The atmosphere in Haus Prein is very nice, of course it's even nicer in the summer because you can sit in the beautiful beer garden. The food is always very tasty. The staff is always very friendly and nice.

Ate very well. The service was very attentive and friendly, but not intrusive.

Wie gehn seit Jahren hier essen und sind bisher immer zu Frieden mit dem essen und mit dem super netten Personal kommen immer wider gerne her es gibt immer was für jeder mann

Super tasty and the staff is really nice, and the price/performance ratio is also completely acceptable.

Very nice staff. Delicious food and a nice atmosphere. There were 9 of us and everyone had their food promptly. I would love to go there again.

It's exactly as I remembered it. Even after almost 40 years!

Nice location with very friendly and accommodating staff. Nice little garden

We have been coming to Haus Prein for years. Always friendly and tasty.

Years ago we were there with our regulars once a month. Food, service was good. But yesterday, August 31, 2024, was a complete disaster. Service 🤨 you should work on it. The icing on the cake was when the food was served. My little crust, it's a shame no photo, Panarde was still raw, 5 champions, 1egg. Fries not cooked through. The rest of the acquaintances were eating grilled plates and hanging and choking. The chef generally works without salt in the kitchen and there was nothing to be seen at the table. We're not really spoiled, and we've been running a restaurant ourselves for over 50 years. But we wouldn't have had anything like yesterday. It's a shame we thought we had a place to go again🫣 but we can do without that. I like to give tips generously. But this time it wasn't a whole €.

Nice beer garden, good for meeting large groups. Plenty of parking spaces available. Food good and plentiful.

The food was very tasty and quickly served at the table. The service was nice and the prices were completely reasonable. We'd love to come back.

Service top as always. Quality at a constant level, only the schnitzels fell off a bit.

Great beer garden with a pond...very pleasant on warm summer evenings...food is good and plentiful...service friendly...have been coming here for many years

Extremely bad service. Unfortunately

Delicious crusts with the best fried potatoes and salad at the self-determination buffet for a fair price (under €21). I often ate there in the early 90s and it's still home-style and not over-the-top, just the way we like it. Service was always precise, polite, but not particularly warm. At the end, when we wanted to pay the good €5 tip in cash and the bill with card/mobile phone, we were a bit shouted at: "I'll have to get the reader then." The guests behind us also paid by card, so at least the waiter didn't have to go twice. It's a shame for this moment, especially because you grew up there and have known and visited the store for 30 years, so a point is deducted for service. Food was very good. Ambience also nice, outside by the pond. Toilets were also clean and everything was fine. Mixed, pleasant crowd, from private, quiet family celebrations, to nice male bachelors saying goodbye to couples at the next tables. Pleasant atmosphere

I've been coming here for years but now you can't beat the impudence of a waiter because if you give a tip it's quick or you'll be treated badly, that's a loss of reputation to the Renic family and they should be fired. That's not acceptable!! You should publish it in the newspaper until someone responds. Ambience is way outdated.

Nice staff, good and fast service, the food is good, the beer is always nice and cold. We are very satisfied and have been regular customers there for years.

We ate very tasty food there, we really liked the atmosphere, outside and inside area, staff very attentive and very nice, parking available, we will definitely go there again, can be highly recommended.

Always great food, nice service, nice indoor and outdoor space. Our absolute favorite restaurant. Here you will be greeted personally by the boss. We have been guests there for many, many years and have never had a negative experience once

Very nice staff and delicious food at good prices. The boss “Iko” and our friend greet us personally and take the time to chat with us. We can highly recommend this restaurant!!!

We've been coming here to eat every now and then since the 90's and we weren't disappointed today either. Good grilled dishes. Friendly service.

Hello everyone, Haus Prein has been our regular restaurant for many years and we have never been disappointed. However, our daughter's wedding was the highlight!!! Everything perfect!!!! The preliminary conversation that evening, the staff was super friendly and hard-working, the food was very good, everything was perfect and better than expected. The guests were also enthusiastic. Thank you for a great celebration, always happy. Kind regards and see you next time Darren and Bianka

Great service, all food served at the same time for over 10 people. Food prepared perfectly. Prices are okay. There is enough parking space

The service yesterday was just wow. Very nice welcome, super delicious food and very friendly staff. Very happy again.😁

Recommended restaurant, friendly service, extensive menu.

The house where the soul rests. We just visited on the beautiful days of our youth, togetherness... if I don't list them, I know you would have missed something. We welcome you very much.

That's food was okay. The service was very good 👍 friendly and quick. The location is also very good. You get a holiday feeling.

The ambience is really very nice - the inventory is getting old, but that's somehow the charm of Haus Prein. The food was really delicious - I had the beef fillet and it was really excellent. As a starter we had the tagliatelle in truffle sauce - a little under-salted, but I don't think that's a bad thing: I prefer to add a little more seasoning. Special requests were taken into account in the kitchen. In the restaurant itself, however, it is really very warm - in my opinion, much too warm. We had a total of three waiters that evening: two out of three were nice, but one was very detached and rather unfriendly. A pity. But maybe he just had a bad day - hence only four stars today because there is still room for improvement.

Very tasty food, friendly staff and the atmosphere is very nice.

We were guests again today and were very satisfied. The food was fantastic, the service was good and children are welcome here! Many thanks to the Renic family, we would love to come back as their guests!

Very tasty food and really friendly staff, I was extremely satisfied

We ate at Haus Prein with 3 people and we were all very satisfied. The food was very tasty, the service was very friendly, but the decor is very old-fashioned.

Very nice restaurant with fast service and good Food. The prices are adjusted and not excessively high.

Very nice atmosphere. We've always sat in the more rustic area. This time we were outside for the first time. Very nicely landscaped beer garden. Service and food were, as always, very good. We'd love to come back!

Delicious food, friendly service at reasonable prices

The food was very tasty in the beautiful beer garden. Gladly again.

Platter Croatia, meat was good, peas and carrots a bit boring, fries and rice were ok. Dessert: breaded banana was really tasty.

The food was great. One of the many waiters who was unfortunately responsible for our table was a complete disaster. The older gentleman obviously didn't enjoy his job and was very unfriendly and inattentive, almost throwing the plates on the table. To give just one example, we had the menu cards on the table for less than 5 minutes when he came to take the menu requests. When pointed out that not all guests had voted yet, he simply shrugged his shoulders and began to record their wishes. It has to be said that only four tables were occupied in the entire store, so it doesn't seem to have been due to stress. A real shame !

Simply delicious. Gladly again. Price performance is right. Everything will be fine in 2023 too.

The different foods tasted very good. The staff was super nice and helpful. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the disabled toilet, so I didn't ask. Unfortunately, as a wheelchair user, I have to rely on it, the wheelchair doesn't fit through normal doors. If you don't have a disabled toilet, the truth should be on the homepage ☝️🤔The visit to the restaurant was worth it and we are already looking forward to the next stop .Where can you get soup and schnapps for free these days. We ate cheaply and well.😁👍

Large restaurant with friendly staff, food was ok. However, you have the feeling of assembly line work. Food comes very quickly, while the other person is eating the other empty plate is already being cleared away. After the meal you get a schnapps, but you don't feel like drinking drinks etc. asked. You have the feeling you have to pay straight away and leave. That's too bad.

We were there this lunchtime with a group of 15 people who ordered different dishes. It was just disappointing. The salad bar was stocked with the simplest ingredients, corn, grated carrots, etc. obviously from a can, as were the peas and carrots that were served as a vegetable accompaniment to the main course. Unfortunately the meat was dry. The price/performance ratio is definitely not right. If you want to eat like you did 30 years ago, you're in good hands here. The staff is positive, very friendly and quick despite the full restaurant.

Unfortunately we didn't enjoy the food at Haus Prein. The fries were totally soggy and the meals were generally not served well. A Keller had always been very attentive and was super accommodating and nice. At the end we also thanked him for the great service. The other two waiters were extremely unfriendly and just joked around, even though we shouted sorry 3 times more and louder because we wanted to order more drinks. We also had a person with a severe egg intolerance. After we explained the situation to the waiter, he simply replied: Pfff. No idea if there is egg in it. Very unprofessional behavior… It's a shame, because we used to like the Prein house much better...

We have been eating at Haus Prein for over 45 years. We even celebrated our wedding there 25 years ago. The quality is excellent as always. We have already reserved a table for Easter.

Very cozy restaurant where really good food is served. Very friendly staff. We can only recommend this restaurant. 👍👍👍

Was there 2 months ago. Staff great food awesome

Very nice staff, even if an older gentleman looks so grumpy, food is very good 😋

Cozy restaurant...nice service...delicious food

The food was very mediocre. There wasn't even a Slivovitz. Everything tasted like almost nothing. We sat at the back in the winter garden - the ambience and the volume resembled a train station hall or canteen.

Delicious food, large portions, nice attentive staff. Just fine...

Very friendly and attentive staff. Authentic food.

We have been coming to Haus Prein for almost 20 years now and celebrated our wedding there. Still a very good address for delicious food and a nice ambience. See you soon.

Alles perfekt. Besser geht es nicht mehr.Immer jederzeit wieder. Nur nette Kellner, super Essen und gemütliche Restauration. Auch Wünsche werden gehört, wenn diese nur zum Partner formuliert werden am Salat Büffet.

I had my first meal there with good friends on Boxing Day. We received a very friendly welcome. The restaurant was extremely well attended and the service staff had their hands full. Despite all this, they were very friendly. The food was excellent. I have one very small point of criticism. I think it's a shame that they don't offer unchilled drinks. I can't tolerate cold drinks (from the fridge) It would be nice if they would also respond to these wishes. Otherwise everything was tippi toppi. A big thank you to everyone who keeps calm and keeps an overview on days like this...

Für das Essen ist ein Stern nicht zu viel. Das Fleisch teilweise zäh, der Reis Matsche, das Salatbuffet hat wie die Inneneinrichtung den Charme der 80er Jahre. Passend dazu die Kellner.

Nettes Restaurant mit gutem Essen. Der Wintergarten ist besonders zu empfehlen.

Das hatte ich vor ein paar Jahren geschrieben: "Wenn ein Lokal seit den 70er Jahren trotz der namhaften Konkurrenz entlang der Wittbräucker Straße von der selben Inhaberfamilie erfolgreich betrieben wird, muss es einfach gut sein! Als ehemaliger Wellinghofer kenne und schätze ich das Haus von Anfang an. Und auch heute noch komme ich aus dem Sauerland zwei- oder dreimal im Jahr wieder. Ich wurde noch nie (!) enttäuscht. Das Essen zu absolut fairen Preisen ist einfach nur lecker. Und das Stifts-Pils wird sehr gepflegt serviert. Das Personal ist sympathisch und fix. Kurz und gut: Prein ist Klasse und immer wieder einen Besuch wert" Heute waren wir wieder da. Es ist nichts hinzuzufügen oder zu löschen: einfach nur große Klasse:
