Hausmanns Kost in Bielefeld

Home cooking self-service shop in the Rewe center Reiner Quermann. Very tasty, varied and changing home cooking.

Top “snack bar” with good products especially the burger Friday and the daily specials. The staff is super nice and helpful. There is plenty of seating where you can watch the hustle and bustle in the supermarket. When the weather is nice, it's great outside!

The service isn't actually bad, but an older lady is always in a bad mood and doesn't try to hide it. It's clear that in Germany service is given a lower priority, but someone is clearly in the wrong job. The food actually deserves 5 stars for the money, especially because it's too rare in Bielefeld. The only thing I didn't like was that you could only take the food with you in a cardboard container. And even though it's actually quite nicely designed, it's not particularly inviting to sit down there, but I think that's more due to the hectic shoppers who walk past you all the time. I would still recommend it.

I'm surprised at the devastatingly bad reviews of this kitchen. We have eaten here several times as a couple and as a group and have never been disappointed; but surprised by the selection of dishes, which are calculated by weight and are really inexpensive - and more than worth the price! Vegetables, salads, meat and vegetarian dishes are always available, along with a reliably hearty daily menu. We keep the ambience requirements low in this environment, but seats are always available inside and outside.

How can you serve a satisfying meal so poorly? I ordered smoked pork with fried potatoes and coleslaw; everything looked appetizing. Then the meat was cut and placed in a cardboard tray. The potatoes were placed on top in a single layer, followed by the coleslaw. Finally, a plastic lid was placed on top. I wanted to eat at the counter overlooking the parking lot and asked for cutlery. There was only wooden cutlery available, with a knife (which serves no purpose) and a wooden fork. Now I wanted to try the food, but I couldn't cut the meat with the blunt knife. The meat was marbled, which isn't a problem if you can cut it up. It didn't work at all with a knife. So I picked up the meat. And had to cut it up that way. Napkins were only available with the spoons, so I got another wooden spoon. This is what a feeding trough must look like, I thought to myself as I ate and devoured the actually not-so-bad lunch (since there was no knife, you had to eat a bit strangely). In any case, I was fed up with this new dining concept and wished I could go back to the old snack bar with the friendly Turkish owner. Overall, there's a lot of room for improvement. Plates can also be put in the dishwasher, as can cutlery. For €8, that should be included. No, I'm not going to do this again. The concept is a spectacular failure. The owner, Mr. Quermann, should try the food here himself, just like the people who came up with this nonsense.
