Hausmanns Kost in Bielefeld

Self-service home-cooked meals store in the Rewe Reiner Quermann center. Delicious, varied, and changing home-cooked meals.

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

The service isn't bad, but one elderly lady is always in a bad mood and doesn't try to hide it. It's clear that service isn't a priority in Germany, but someone is clearly in the wrong profession. The food actually deserves 5 stars for the money, especially since you rarely find anything like it in Bielefeld. The only thing I didn't like was that you could only take the food away in a cardboard container. And even though the decor is actually quite nice, it's not particularly inviting to sit down, but I think that's more due to the hectic shoppers constantly walking past you. I would still recommend it.

I'm surprised by the devastatingly poor reviews of this cuisine. We've eaten here several times, both as a couple and as a group, and have never been disappointed; but we were surprised by the selection of dishes, which are priced by weight and are also really reasonably priced – and more than worth the price! Vegetables, salads, meats, and vegetarian options are always available, along with a reliably hearty daily special. We keep our ambiance standards low in this setting, but seating is always available both 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.
