Henry's Sandbar & Restaurant in Kerpen

Great location to eat and drink with friends. The food is served quickly - it feels faster than in a drive-in of a neighboring burger chain 😉

Fresh food, great atmosphere, great service and excellent cocktails

I was recently at the Sandbar again. A cozy shop with a sandy floor - the Sandbar. The **cocktails** are true works of art: creative, high quality and perfectly mixed. Simply delicious - cheers The **food** surprised me positively - from small snacks to sophisticated dishes, everything was deliciously prepared and went perfectly with the drinks. The rolls are particularly recommended. The **service** was friendly, competent and attentive without being intrusive. Price-performance is absolutely right here - you can tell that quality and customer friendliness are the priority.

Apparently the opening hours are until 11 p.m. during the week. We were there at 10 p.m. and just wanted a quick drink. We weren't even allowed to sit at the tables. It's understandable that the kitchen is closed, but the fact that you're not allowed to sit at the table was really outrageous. The waitress actually said it very rudely. Thanks for nothing

Super delicious food and nice, attentive service.

As always, very nice AND very tasty!

Delicious food. Everything looks good. Real attention is paid to it!

Great service, great food, lots of vegetarian and vegan dishes with good labeling. Reservation recommended.

Great service. Very tasty food. Great vegetarian selection. Clean toilets. Modern and stylish furnishings. Simply recommended.

Disappointing – Not recommended! I was really disappointed with my visit to this restaurant. The staff was rude and had no thought of service. Despite free tables, we were not offered a seat and had to stand at a bar table, which was completely inappropriate. The biggest drawback, however, was the Aperol we ordered - it was completely alcohol-free, which is simply unacceptable, especially when you're specifically expecting a regular Aperol. We didn't even get the food. It's a real shame because I expected more. I definitely won't visit this restaurant again and can't recommend it.

Absolute catastrophe – never again! I've been to a lot of bad places, but this really sets a new standard for incompetence. The staff? A collection of unmotivated, completely overwhelmed people who have apparently never heard of customer service. Friendliness? None! Instead, you get annoyed looks and a wait that feels like an eternity. The highlight of the horror, however, was the bartender. I don't know if he just had no idea or just didn't care - but the cocktails were an absolute disgrace! The taste was somewhere between dishwashing water and cough medicine, carelessly poured together and served with an arrogance that was almost unbearable. There's just nothing wrong here. Miserable service, incompetent staff and drinks that you could mix better even with your eyes closed. If you want to ruin a nice evening, this is the place for you. Everyone else: avoid this store at all costs!

I had reserved a table for 6 p.m., which was actually intended for us for two hours. But after less than 1.5 hours we were more or less forced to leave because the next guests were already ready. Without a reasonable explanation from the waiter we had to pay and clear the table. Something like that doesn't work! Treating guests in this way is unacceptable. While the food was okay, it wasn't anything worth coming back for - which we won't do anyway.

I've been here several times now and I'm thrilled every time. Great atmosphere, very nice young service, and what is very important in a restaurant, good food. I can definitely recommend the citizens, the baked potatoes and the bowls. You can't go wrong, it's simply delicious. The portions are also decent so you will definitely be full. The homemade lemonades round it all off for me. The ambience is also very nice. Sand wherever you walk (which is also the sand bar) and beautiful wooden tables. To conjure up the operation there is a light cube that you can activate to pay or order. If you have an NFC-enabled cell phone, you can also hold it up to the cube and the app opens via the browser. You can also order drinks and desserts in the app and have them brought to your table. Overall a good concept, it certainly won't be the last time I've been here. 😘

Good food and nice place, the sand under your feet makes the difference

Cozy atmosphere with nice service. The food was delicious.

Food is delicious and the service is very good because they have these boxes you just have to press service it changes color and they come. I like how the floor is decorated in sand like real sand in a restaurant very nice go here if u want something fun and nice food

As always, very, very good 👍 👍👍

Great food, but extremely loud.

Not everyone in a group of 7 wanted to eat, so the owner didn't want to give us a larger table. They also didn't want to put the smaller bar tables together so that we could have sat together. Ultimately we were more or less thrown out the door with the comment that we needed the space now. There was no shortage that would have justified this. I've never experienced anything like that. There doesn't seem to be any value here for paying customers who wanted to experience a cozy evening. Doesn't work at all

Until recently, I enjoyed going out for a drink or a meal with my work colleagues. Since yesterday, this has been resolved for me. Because not everyone in a group of 7 wanted to eat, the owner didn't want to give us a larger table. They also didn't want to put the smaller bar tables together so that we could have sat together. Ultimately we were more or less thrown out the door with the comment that we needed the space now. There was no shortage that would have justified this. I've never experienced anything like that. There doesn't seem to be any value here for paying customers who wanted to experience a cozy evening. Doesn't work at all.

I was there a few years ago and was happy back then. Unfortunately this time we weren't satisfied at all. The burger was brought to the table incorrectly, which can always happen. We then informed the waiter that the Italy Burger was missing the mozzarella, the grilled tomatoes and the homemade pesto. Instead it had tartar sauce, onions and regular tomatoes on it. He went into the kitchen with the burger and came back after a few minutes saying he was sorry and now it was the right burger. We looked at it and were stunned. Half of the tartar sauce was scraped off, the mozzarella was put on top, the rest remained as it was and the sauce and tomatoes were still missing. Truly unbelievable! How to treat customers like that. We felt like we were being kidded. That was probably our last visit.

The food is perfect, the service is great. Unfortunately, I find the background noise to be extremely high. If that doesn't bother you, you'll be well accommodated there!

Ein interessantes Restaurant mit, wie der Name es sagt, Sand auf dem Boden hat. Leider nimmt man einen starken Essengeruch war, sowie man die Bar betritt. Leider war unser Essen lauwarm und der Service hatte beim Servieren den Daumen im Salat. Das Ambiente an sich ist ansprechend aber nicht unser Ding. Es war viel los, was für das Restaurant spricht.

We had a very nice evening at Henry's Sandbar. The green bowl with fried chicken pieces and terriyaki sauce was delicious. Compliments to the kitchen! The waitress was super friendly and very attentive. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back!

Been there twice now. One steak and one schnitzel. Both times the food and service were impressive. Would love to come back

The food was very good, everything was served hot. The salad was fresh and tasty and the salad dressing was delicious. Our Margerita (cocktail) is also recommended. It could have been a little cooler and I didn't like the dried lime either. But taste good. The service was great. Everyone was very friendly and quick. We'd love to come back! Thank you!

The carrot and ginger soup is super tasty and highly recommended, but we were also very satisfied with the main courses. My husband's meat was a bit cold. If we had complained about it, we would definitely have gotten a new one. For the meat, I thought it was great that the seasoning was in a separate bowl. So you can decide for yourself how much you want on it. The service was super nice. All seats were occupied and we were informed that it might take a little longer to eat today. The food still came quicker than in most other restaurants when it's so busy. So we were completely satisfied with that too. We will be happy to come back, thank you for the great food.

My husband and I always enjoy coming here to eat. The staff are friendly, the food is always delicious!

Too bad chocolate. We were sent away with the words we were a restaurant and not a snack bar, so unfortunately there was no takeaway food for us. At least a note on the homepage would have been nice that no take-away food is offered.

We always enjoy coming there. Eating is an experience and the staff is very attentive. Food is always perfect and just as you ordered it.

Great food. Very friendly staff. I'll definitely be back. Plenty of choice. Good atmosphere 🔥😇

Unfortunately there was a mix-up with a dish in the kitchen

Very good spot to eat while charging car. Service very friendly and very fast even though the place was packed. Schnitzel was huge. The curry was also delishes.

The food is great, unfortunately my wife has had stomach surgery and can't even eat a children's portion. She asked if it was possible for her to have a children's plate and was immediately told no, this is only available up to 12 years. The question as to whether there was an option for you to have a small portion of another dish was again answered in the negative with the answer being that you could take the rest home with you. There is also no robber plate. Worst service we have had so far. Even in a brewery in Cologne there were no problems. This was the first visit for us and unfortunately probably the last visit unless the service improves. Dogs are also not allowed.

We were there for the first time with 8 girls. The food, location, cleanliness and service were top. However, we found it much too loud there. Almost had to shout at each other to talk. Music and overall volume are just way too loud. We were there for almost 3.5 hours.

Very good atmosphere. Always happy 😊

If you come to Kepen you absolutely must stop here. Certainly not for the service which calmly leaves something to be desired, server very cold, stressed and not at all attentive to the table, I had to ask for my drink 3 times while all the table was already served. However, the cuisine is just excellent and the setting is magnificent. Everything is littered with sand and the playlist makes you believe that you are in the sunny islands and not in an industrial zone in the depths of Germany. Don't miss out on this opportunity to eat well. Very VALUE FOR MONEY 🤜🏾🤛🏽

Very good food, cozy and modern atmosphere and the service leaves nothing to be desired.

It was great, we were there for the first time, I will definitely visit it again on my next stay. Top food, top drinks and top service/ambience 😍

Delicious food in all subject areas, we had everything from Asian to schnitzel to Mexican, everything was super tasty. Great value for money. We'd love to come back!

Fantastic. The ambience surprised us as soon as we entered. You actually walk on sand, that was great. Otherwise very comfortable. We were warmly welcomed and taken straight to our table (I recommend making a reservation in advance, as it was already very busy at 5:30 p.m. and was getting more and more crowded). You can place your order by pressing a cube on the table, walking very close to the cube with your smartphone or simply asking the waitress. Great concept, which - from my point of view - works great. So, selected and ordered food. After about 10 minutes it was already there. Really well presented, large portions and... very, very tasty! When the drink was empty in between, I simply ordered a new drink on my smartphone and the new drink arrived straight away after 2 minutes. I was thrilled. All in all, a great restaurant with nice decor, great staff, innovative ideas on how to bring service and technology together and incredibly good cuisine! We'll definitely be back, thank you very much!

Were there with 8 people for the Christmas party this evening. We were very satisfied with the food and drinks, unfortunately there were several items on our bill that we hadn't ordered. We pointed this out to the waiter. There was no apology and he didn't want to give us enough money back. This behavior is absolutely unacceptable. Maybe the employees should be better trained on how to deal with guests.

Great food!!! Definitely coming back.

We went there on a Saturday afternoon without a reservation and got a spot straight away. A nice ambience with the sand on the floor. A little vacation in everyday life. The service was friendly, courteous and quick. The food was tasty and a large portion. We chose the schnitzel. The fries were crispy and the sauce for the schnitzel was served in a small jug. Definitely worth a visit.

Very cool staging of the bar where the floor is covered with sand, as the name suggests. Of course you shouldn't go there with flip flops or a beach towel because it's also a good restaurant. The food tastes good and the selection is good, but the price, in my opinion, is a bit too high and prevents it from getting a top rating. But nonetheless, you should have eaten here.

Food is convenience and nothing special. But very expensive. The cocktails are good and the prices here are reasonable. The staff usually seem as if they only have a limited desire to work.

Don't hesitate but go to a top restaurant, fantastic atmosphere and simple but super tasty food for a good reasonable price. Recommended.

If you are Brazilian and would like a place with good service and caipirinha, and an atmosphere with an area reminiscent of the beach. This is the place!

We have known the restaurant for over 14 years and enjoy eating there. The children can paint in the sand if they get bored. Unfortunately, there are no small items on the menu and you are not allowed to share a dish even if you are not very hungry. That was a bit disappointing.

There were 4 of us there; only bread with spread as a starter; The main course was grilled plates, salad punch and baked potatoes; everything was very tasty and plentiful; Service was good, only stopped by irregularly; when Cube was pressed, it worked fine; very nice with the sand in the hallway; There is a lot of draft when you sit in the winter garden through the window slits; Price: performance is ok; Campari orange not recommended, very watery and little Campari; Aperol was much better.

Very good food and friendly service, who also keeps an eye on the guests. Press the pay button once and seconds later the service is at the table 👍

Really very good food, reasonable prices and super fast friendly service. Very happy again 👍👍👍

Cool atmosphere with nice service. Delicious wine and good food.

Where did the nice staff that used to be there go? The waiter was now very strange. Food was good.

We had dinner with four people on a Saturday evening and were there for the first time. The bar was full to the last table. We were greeted very friendly at the door and shown to our pre-booked table. Our orders were processed quickly and we were also able to reorder online from the table. Everything is great! Everything is always super friendly. We had a great evening at the Sandbar and can really recommend it. By the way, you can easily park in front of the door. There is plenty of free parking space. Top bar with very friendly staff! 💫👍

great food, attentive, friendly service, nice atmosphere, only the environment in a commercial area is annoying.

Great location 😃👍. It was our first time there and we hadn't reserved a table. The service was very friendly. You felt very comfortable. The food was very tasty and arrived quickly. We'll definitely come by again. Personally, the volume was a bit too loud for me, but the store was full that evening.

Very tasty food. A little expensive, but definitely worth the money. Service was also super friendly.

Super nice & fast service. We all loved our food.

Visited Wednesday 11th September as part of a business trip. Real buzz to the place when you walk in. You can immediately tell it’s popular and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely food and drink. Generous portions. Really good service - not speaking German I had no issues communicating. I’d definitely return. I just don’t get the sand on the floor. Highly recommend

The food was incredibly delicious and the cocktails were equally excellent. The service was of the highest standard - all the staff were friendly, smiled and regularly asked if everything was OK. You felt very welcome and well looked after. Just one small thing that we didn't like at first: when making the reservation I had stated that we were celebrating our anniversary, but we were assigned a table in a very busy area, between other tables. It was so loud that I could barely hear my partner, who was sitting less than a meter away - almost like I was in a club. However, when we asked to change tables, we were immediately offered a more comfortable spot in a quieter corner. We are very grateful for this and were able to enjoy the evening in a more pleasant atmosphere.🤝🏻💞

Such a nice place with tasty food and relaxing atmosphere. We were getting back from two weeks in Croatia and food here is a highlight of the trip :)

Very interesting restaurant. In addition to the really good food and the nice service, the restaurant is designed in a beach atmosphere. The cocktails are delicious and fit the approach. Even beach sand covers the entire floor of the interior, even though it is in the middle of the commercial area. Still, cool idea.

Very tasty, prices are acceptable, very nice atmosphere. And a great service system with a lamp at the table that signals that you need something or want to pay

Henry's Sandbar is something special: the floor is actually sand. An advantage for children when playing, many even have beach toys with them. The food is good, we had two burgers. Well fried and well topped. Unfortunately the buns aren't tight enough. I would like more classic buns here. Nevertheless, very tasty and recommended. The cocktails are also delicious. I would say nothing extraordinary in terms of food and drink, but the quality and quantity are completely sufficient. It's worth a visit.

Super Bad reception, arrogant and unfriendly. In any case, you have lost loyal regular customers. Despite the comment that we only wanted to sit for half an hour to order a coffee and dessert and were prepared to order a starter just to make you happy (afternoon and half of the restaurant was empty), we were told the concept wouldn't allow it to give us a table. We clearly won't be coming again.

A dream! How am I supposed to write this without it seeming exaggerated... But there's just no other way. It's PERFECT! We ate here for the first time on August 3rd, 2024. I ordered a grill plate and it was fried to perfection! (You will first be asked how you would like your meat). The girls and guys from the service are quick, incredibly friendly but not fake, and very cleanly dressed. Drinks are super tasty, served quickly and beautifully presented. As mentioned, the meat is fried to perfection and seasoned to perfection, the herb butter is a dream, the fries are crispy and soft on the inside. We liked it so much that we ate here again on August 11th and this visit was again absolutely perfect! We will come back often and with pleasure! I would like to give 10/5 stars 🤣💖

The service and the concept are extremely unfriendly, preferably 0 stars

Top restaurant, honest fair prices, great ambience. Great tasty food, top quality. Highly recommended, it wasn't our first and certainly not our last visit to Henry's Sandbar. On the subject, this wasn't our last visit; That's how my wife and her friend were on Saturday August 3rd. as a guest and there were again 5 stars with a standing ovation for Henry's Sandbar. Conclusion x times 👍👏

Henry's Sandbar is beautifully decorated with great attention to detail. Food and drinks - especially the homemade lemonades - are delicious. It should always be reserved. We'd love to come back.

Spent a lovely evening on the balcony with two adults and two children. Food and cocktails total €110 The price and performance are right! We will be back.

Very tasty and friendly service. Gladly again.

Highly recommended, good food. Great ambience and friendly, personable staff. I'd love to come back.

Friendly staff, very good food, surprisingly different inside than the impression from the outside suggests.

Very tasty, good vegetarian and some even vegan selection! Service was very friendly and quick despite the store being full.

Very cheeky treatment of customers and racist!!! We were turned away from our RESERVED spot on the terrace because we only ordered cocktails and dessert and no food, which is apparently a requirement to eat on the terrace. We then mentioned it to the front and got very cheeky answers Every time there was a person wearing a headscarf as a customer, there was always another excuse. Sometimes we weren't accepted at all. This was justified today with “I don’t have to accept every customer”. Customer friendliness is definitely a foreign word there! Accordingly, not recommended at all :)

The food was really delicious, the service needs to be worked on, if you misplace or forget orders it's not great and that with a group of 5 people.

Last week I met up with a friend and she reserved a table at Henrys. It was a Tuesday at 7 p.m. When I got there I didn't feel very hungry, so I decided on "sweet potato fries". My friend would have chosen the baked potato with prawns. When we wanted to place our order, the waitress told me that it wasn't possible at this seat, but that we could move to one of the high tables in the entrance area. Then we did that. So exactly the same thing was ordered. Suddenly the waitress came back and said that unfortunately that wasn't possible here either because I had to order at least one main course. My friend then said what the heck, she would take the potato and I would eventually order something too. The waitress was sorry, but that's just the way it is. I then said that I didn't want to eat anything. In solidarity, my friend explained that she wasn't taking anything either. So we just wanted to finish our drinks and leave because that was just too stupid for us. Suddenly the GF (?! didn't introduce himself) probably stood in front of us and started making fun of us. He said what was that about, after all we had made a reservation and the reservation conditions clearly stated that you had to have at least one main course per person. The attempt to explain yourself failed because you simply couldn't pronounce it. The GF (or whoever) said (or complained to us, in a very rude tone) "we are not a chip shop here, if you want fries you can go downstairs or back (McDonalds). We are a restaurant . Then the service fee applies, as in the reservation regulations!" (€10 per person) The shop wasn't full! Rules or not. Especially since this rule is just ridiculous for a fine restaurant. The way he spoke to us was impossible. We don't want to blame the waitress. This was very friendly. We were always very happy with Henry's, the atmosphere and the food were always great and we always recommended it to others, but that doesn't work at all! We're out. No more recommendations and no more reservations! Especially since my girlfriend goes to this “restaurant” on a regular basis and usually with a lot more than just 2 people. I don't know exactly what's going on in your store, but think about whether your behavior towards customers is correct! Have a nice day!

Very nice location, delicious food and cocktails. Very good service

A Caribbean paradise in Kerpen: Henry’s Sandbar When I entered Henry’s Sandbar, I immediately felt transported to a tropical oasis. The relaxed atmosphere, combined with the inviting decor, created the perfect ambience for an unforgettable evening. The staff greeted me with a smile and showed me to my table, perfectly positioned to capture the lively vibe of the place. The service was impeccable - attentive but not intrusive, and my every need was promptly met. The menu was a treasure trove of culinary delights. I chose the Texas burger, which was made with fresh, local ingredients and tasted heavenly. The burger was juicy, the bun was fresh and the homemade sauce was to die for. The Pinot Gris tasted excellent and went great with the burger. I have no hesitation in recommending Henry’s Sandbar. Whether for a relaxing drink after work or a cozy dinner - this place is a must for anyone looking for a touch of the Caribbean in Kerpen.

Ein karibisches Paradies in Kerpen: Henry’s Sandbar Als ich Henry’s Sandbar betrat, fühlte ich mich sofort in eine tropische Oase versetzt. Die entspannte Atmosphäre, kombiniert mit dem einladenden Dekor, schuf das perfekte Ambiente für einen unvergesslichen Abend. Das Personal begrüßte mich mit einem Lächeln und führte mich zu meinem Tisch, der perfekt positioniert war, um die lebhafte Stimmung des Ortes einzufangen. Der Service war tadellos – aufmerksam, aber nicht aufdringlich, und jeder meiner Wünsche wurde prompt erfüllt. Die Speisekarte war eine Schatzkiste voller kulinarischer Köstlichkeiten. Ich entschied mich für den Texas -Burger, der mit frischen, lokalen Zutaten zubereitet wurde und einfach himmlisch schmeckte. Der Burger war saftig, das Brötchen frisch und die hausgemachte Sauce ein Traum. Der Grauburgunder schmeckte hervorragend und passte super zu dem Burger. Ich kann Henry’s Sandbar ohne zu zögern weiterempfehlen. Ob für einen entspannten Drink nach der Arbeit oder ein gemütliches Abendessen – dieser Ort ist ein Muss für jeden, der in Kerpen nach einem Hauch von Karibik sucht.

Just wow ! We were there at lunchtime and were able to choose our seats (we still had a reservation). Great ambience, cool thing with the sandy floor. Ahja food: Ordered a Texas egg burger with fries and homemade soda. Just great… nothing else fit in after that 😂. Really recommended

You had to wait quite a long time for the food but it tasted really good.

Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Food is of top quality. Always my pleasure...

Everything was very tasty and hot. Great team and very nice atmosphere. We'd love to come back 👍🏽😉👌🏼😋

If you don't mind the fact that it's pretty loud all around, it's a very cool restaurant.

We feel very good here, but the ordering system has deteriorated, you can no longer spontaneously call and change something, you are redirected to email, far too time-consuming. What has become very, very bad is the incredible noise, people constantly have to shout at each other in order to understand each other. You can certainly do a lot with materials or plants to break the sound waves. Something has changed in the last year because it has never been this bad. If the music drowns out the whole thing, it becomes annoying. It's a shame, maybe you should get advice from an outside acoustician. It's probably quite easy to turn a deafening hall into a cozy dining restaurant to relax and enjoy.

You can eat well there. The service is really nice. The ambience with the sand anyway.

Unfortunately we lost a long-time regular customer. With all understanding that the tables are of course reserved for guests to dine, I find it outrageous to charge a service fee for someone who does not order a main course. There were two of us there. I had a starter and a steak for the main course. My Colleague just wanted something to drink. Although the bill was around €70, a €10 service fee was charged. Definitely one less customer - but the main thing is that you earn an additional €10 ;-) P.S. There are many other nice restaurants that run a profitable business without a €10 service fee.

We were there for the first time and found the food very tasty. It was fresh, beautifully presented and prepared quickly. The employees were friendly and interested. There was a small error during the payment process and I was overcharged. When I realized this afterwards, I wrote an email and the money was refunded via Paypal. In addition, I received a voucher for a cocktail or dessert as compensation. That was a nice gesture and shows appreciation for the customer.

Such a nice and friendly place. Kid friendly staff, a room bathed with light, and generous portions. We were there the 7 of us and we had a fantastic dinner. The kids could play in the sand, the decoration is extra. I had forgotten my coat and the team kept it safe, thanks a lot again!

Great food and cocktail place next to tesla supercharger. Good charging stop.

Food and drinks are delicious. Ambiance is cool, as the name suggests: with sand on the floor. You can spend lovely hours here

Nice restaurant with an inviting outdoor area. Fair prices and very tasty food. Gladly again. The waiter was very accommodating and friendly.

We ate a very good steak here and the service was simply unbeatable. Good wine selection. I found my favorite red wine here and ordered it straight away.

Have been there several times now and have always received very good service.

As always, delicious and worth a visit. Friendly operation and nice service.

Very nice location. Service very friendly. I would love to come back

We had a wonderful and fun girls' night out last Friday. This was my 3rd visit to the Sandbar and it is really, really nice there. The staff was really nice and quick. The food tastes very good and the cocktails are a real treat. The ambience is really nice. We will be back. Great location

There were three of us. About 1/3 of the restaurant was empty. A very unfriendly man came up to us and shouted "no! We're full!" When I remarked that there were a lot of free tables, he complained again, "We're full!!" We have never been brushed off so shamelessly.
