Hinkelstein in Flensburg

A great inn in the truest sense of the word. We feel right at home and treat ourselves to wonderful steaks. Wonderful hosts in a restaurant with a “home feeling”. Finally we'll be back soon.

Our absolute favorite restaurant. Food was delicious, service was absolutely top notch. We keep coming back!🤩

Despite not having a reservation, we spontaneously got a table today. Friendly staff and delicious food… no long waiting… value for money absolutely justified…

Here is a grammatically revised version of your text: Usually it's either quality or quantity, but here it was both. There was a great ambiance and a service that was truly service minded. The portions were huge and the chef was not careful in seasoning the food with salt and pepper. Many places lack the ability to season the food to perfection, but the chef has managed it here. It was the first time and we will definitely come again.

Came here spontaneously via Google review and had a really good meal. Friendly, attentive staff and good food - a clear recommendation A table reservation in advance is definitely an advantage, even during the week.

Price performance fits. Food was very tasty and service was top. We'd love to come back.

Absolutely great, this restaurant is simply adorable.

We had a great evening at Hinkelstein. Great food, greetings to the kitchen, very friendly staff and a very nice boss. We'll be back 🍽️🥂👍

Service top, food great. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fantastic restaurant. We called spontaneously and got a table. The ambiance is truly wonderful. The service was very attentive and very friendly. The food was soooo delicious. It reminded me of how delicious my late grandmother used to cook. If we're ever in Flensburg again, we'll definitely come back. Stay the way you are! I've rarely experienced such a welcoming restaurant.

Comfortable and very friendly staff

Yes, the food was very tasty, home-style cooking

Quaint restaurant. Very nice staff and very tasty food and large portions. Thank you very much

Skøn mad, masser af øl og højt humør. Service og betjening på højt og sjovt oktober fest niveau. Super hyggeligt og en oplevelse værd

Fantastic restaurant. Best schnitzel ever. Super cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff. We would love to come again

Nothing to complain about. The food was down-to-earth and good, the service attentive and friendly.

Det er et sjovt sted, for du ved ikke helt om du er på værtshus eller restaurant. Personalet får absolut topkarakter - virkelig gode og serviceorienterede tjenere 🤗 Det var god mad - absolut. Ingen klager over hverken det ene eller andet. Men skal lige lidt mere til før det bliver top topkarakter. Kødet var godt og veltilberedt - men sad med følelsen af, at pebersauce manglede lidt kærlighed og omsorg.

Great shop, friendly staff, cool, rustic atmosphere, delicious food. We love being there!

Cozy & rustic. Friendly welcome, nice staff and quick service. TOP food (spinach/potato casserole & Jägerschnitzel) with freshly tapped, cold beers. And finally, Grandma Inge's schnapps is recommended.

Excellent food. But strangely it takes one and a half euros for breading a wiener schnitzel. However, I have never experienced that before.

Mega hyggeligt sted. Servicen er i top og maden er virkelig lækker. Her får man den bedste skinke snitzel du kan få. Deres jägrsause er mega god.

Great food, very friendly staff, cozy atmosphere. Always my pleasure.

I haven't been here for too long. And I vowed to change that. Good food, friendly and attentive service and a very cozy atmosphere. My personal highlight: the Hogwarts seating area with a view of platform 9¾.

We stayed at the Hotel “Das James” in Flensburg from Hamburg for a few days. Searched for this restaurant via Google and distance from the hotel. A perfect decision...super delicious food, great ambience and super friendly staff and boss. If it weren't so far away, we would be regulars here!! But we'll definitely come back again.

It was again very tasty. It's just a shame that we had to ask three times whether we could finally pay.

Nice inn experience, although it took a little long with the food, but it makes sense that it was at dinner time. But otherwise it was exquisite 👌

I ordered the rice pan with turkey... I order it often, and strangely enough, it tastes different every time! Today I was really disappointed, poor taste, at most 6 small pieces of turkey, dry mushrooms, almost raw carrot pieces, etc. It's a shame, I expected a little more for the price.

We were here spontaneously and very satisfied. Some parking spaces directly in front of the house. Was served quickly. Good selection of different dishes, everything delicious. We happened to be sitting at a Harry Potter table, great! But otherwise you sit in a rustic way. Toilets are clean.

Quaint restaurant and super delicious food ❤️

Good food and extremely committed service, priced in the middle to upper segment

Fantastisk autentisk sted - man ved ikke helt om man er på bar eller restaurant - der er et stort udvalg af retter for enhver smag - kæmpe anbefaling herfra.

The staff here knows what they are doing. Friendly, quick even when the restaurant is full. The food fresh and delicious. I would describe the prices as slightly higher, but if the rest is correct, then that's okay too. Staff top and on the ball, food great and the restaurant cozy and rustic. Keep it up.

A small place hidden in Flensburg, but so worth visiting! You had to reserve a table in advance. Food is amazing, staff is super nice! Have a great time and welcome!

I recently saw that Google didn't even upload my review here and blocked it for reasons that Google can't tell me. Don't know what's wrong with a 5 star review with a good rating... couldn't tell me what the program was, but whatever. I'll catch up: I visited here again in Jan/Feb 2024 on my last work trip and the Hinkelstein is still great and beautiful as ever! Like the ambience and the flair. The food was again first class! Especially the Irish coffee for dessert was on point! That was exactly the right mix! I enjoyed sitting down here to read in the evenings after work. Greetings to the boss and her team!

From the first day it opened until today, I'm still thrilled.

I was at the Hinkelstein for my 33rd birthday. I really liked it. Simple, rustic atmosphere, good selection, delicious food and friendly staff

A very nice and quaint restaurant with very nice staff. The food also tasted great, the portions were generous. We'd love to come back. Thanks.

Best restaurant I've been to in a long time. Incredibly good rump steak, perfect fried potatoes, delicious house schnapps, super friendly service and we got a seat even without a reservation. I can really only recommend it to everyone. 10/10 must visit

Really cozy pearl with good chrome, very friendly service and really cozy premises. Like being in an old inn. Can only recommend the place.

Hyggelig atmosfære og venlig betjening, men næsten alt kødet på vores grilltallerken var i den grad blevet tørstegt. Den sidste anretning (mørbrad) var bedre, men ikke ligefrem en kulinarisk oplevelse. Der var travlt, hvillet kan have haft betydning. Oktoberfest, forklarede de.

Fantastic service, good food, lovely ambience and a magical landlady! So just go there!

Very friendly service that creates a casual, humorous atmosphere. Plus delicious, sumptuous dishes. Went there twice with a group. And will definitely come back next time we visit Flensburg. If possible, be sure to make a reservation and ask for one of the table niches directly at the counter.

A lot of things change over time. When we looked at the menu, we suspected something bad. The prices have increased quite a bit over time. Costs and returns, I know the problems. The food was average, unfortunately the steak on the grill plate wasn't as requested. As noted by the staff, an evil look from the kitchen followed. The pepper sauce in the other dish robbed the steak of its flavor. The fried potatoes were perfect, a bit tight for 2 people compared to the pepper steak dish. Salad is no longer served beforehand... There were two of us there. We actually go there at least twice a year and have always enjoyed spending our time there. The service was ok, some of it was just new there and just took some time to find your way around. Unsure whether we will come back. For 65€ for 2 people including a drink... A lot of wood for some people.

Everything fits. Reservation, friendly staff and the food tastes excellent. We'll be back.

Super atmospheric, great food and very cheerful service. Highly recommended👍🏻

As always, it was very nice and super tasty 👍

We were surprised with an invitation to dinner on our wedding anniversary. The reservation and the meal were made over the phone from France and were carried out perfectly. Our table was lovingly decorated, the food was very good, the drinks were refreshing and the dessert was delicious... everything freshly prepared. The service staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu is very varied and we will definitely come back. " Highly recommended "

We took advantage of a quick detour for a random visit on the way home from Sweden. The Hinkelstein is a rustic pub with a very long bar and booths arranged around it. Bars like this have actually been extinct since the early 80s. The team was super friendly, very authentic and extremely professional. I find this combination very rare. The menu includes classics from German pub culture and everyone will find something. Yes, of course there are better pizza, steak, pasta, salad in the corresponding establishments, but not everything on the same menu. And the food tastes good! Mega plus point: The 'children's box' with crayons and games. My three (7,9,13) passed the time with “four wins” and dominoes and mom and dad were able to drink their Flens in peace. 5 stars dear Hinkelstein!

We love this restaurant and yet we don't go there very often. There are usually parking spaces nearby. The service is always super friendly and quick. Price performance is very good and I recommend the potato with quark. Simply amazingly good! There is always something for the children to play with too. The toilets are very clean and sizable. Reservation recommended!

They are the best pancakes my daughter has ever eaten.🤗👍

Amazing food, best fries we have ever had!! Excellent service and very clean and nice looking restaurant! 10/10 recommend

A really cozy place with a good atmosphere. The service is great and the staff are very nice. The food is really good and there is plenty on the plate. We got jaeger schnitzel, spaghetti cabonada, spaghetti bolognese and a large pizza as well as drinks for just over 1000dkk. Definitely come again.

Went there spontaneously, the table was free and everything was perfect. Super great, nice service person, courteous and attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful. Big praise to the kitchen staff. What we didn't manage to do was packed away for us. We'd love to come back.

I haven't been to the Hinkelstein for 30 years as I live in the Baltic Sea resort of Kühlungsborn. I wanted to show my girlfriend Flensburg and the Hinkelstein. The food was great and we enjoyed it very much. Unfortunately there are no disabled parking spaces at the house. This was a bit disappointing as it makes travel difficult for people with disabilities. Otherwise a highly recommended restaurant.

There is something for everyone here. Little things like the legendary baked potato with quark, garlic bread, soups, meat dishes, pasta, pizzas... and delicious desserts. Nice and humorous service, the room for celebrations is not that big, but cozy and lovingly decorated for our birthday party. The meal took a while, but it was also full and there were 10 of us with different dishes. Therefore understandable. We really liked it and would like to come back.

Always my pleasure. Super delicious food and a great team ❤️

Great service, good home cooking - always happy. Reservation is absolutely necessary in advance as it is well attended

Very friendly service and very tasty food, gladly again!

Spontaneously got a table reserved on Saturday evening. Location nicely located and very cozy. The staff was very friendly and the food was surprisingly tasty for us. Absolutely to suggest! We'd love to come back.

Consistently high quality service and food for many, many years

Super duper food and atmosphere - well hidden in Flensburg

Lovely German Pup with great food. Thanks for having us.

Good food, good hospitality and good atmosphere. The venue is "hidden", but absolutely worth taking a trip there on occasion. Often full, so it can be difficult to get a table. We were there on a Monday evening and there were only 2 tables available

Nice meal and delicious Flens drink!

Nice, friendly waitresses. Dark restaurant with charm.

Rustic restaurant with very friendly staff, top quality food, large portions, nice ambience

Wonderful restaurant. The food tastes excellent and the service is A1, especially Franzi is a heart of a soul 😉

It wasn't the first time and won't be the last! Simply a great and cozy restaurant with good food and friendly staff. Our dogs were also welcome!

We sat outside. Lumberjack steak was good

The food was extremely tasty and the service was very friendly. We were completely thrilled and can't find anything negative. If we lived nearby, this would be our new regular restaurant.

Great food, great staff. Be sure to reserve a table in advance!!

Get a table at short notice and get very good, delicious food. Nice and friendly service. Thank you, gladly again.

This small, rustic restaurant is simply great. There is a counter aisle in the middle and small tables with benches are placed around it and there are also seats along the walls. Everything is framed with dark wood and dimly lit. That's exactly why it's really comfortable. There is an extra room for larger groups. We like the counter seats best. The staff is super friendly, the menu is manageable, but there is something for everyone. The food is always really tasty. The children can get pencils and paper while waiting. There are extra decorations and napkins for birthdays. When paying, the kids were allowed to choose something from a big snack bag.

Very friendly and attentive staff You immediately feel welcome. Very tasty food and drinks. Unfortunately, I made a bit of a mistake in my selection (spicy tomato sauce) wasn't for my palate - but the pork fillets were tender and tasty. Spaghetti Cabonara was absolutely delicious and turkey with pineapple = delicious. The dessert was a dream - mascapone with fresh 🍓

Definitely recommended! Delicious food, good and more than enough at a reasonable price. Delicious soup and Jägerschnitzel. Very cozy warm and informal atmosphere, the service is great. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely come again!

Absolutely amazing warm restaurant with the most hospitable and attentive team I have ever seen. We received absolutely amazing service in fluent English, she was willingly recommending dishes and fulfiling our special requests. The portions were huge and delicious and prices are reasonable. Like 35min walk away from city centre which makes it authentic and heartwarming place to go to. Absolutely recommended must-go place while in Flensburg!

Tasty food in a great atmosphere with very attentive and friendly service staff. You feel comfortable here and you can enjoy your time!

Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We'd love to come back 🥰

We used to go there regularly at reasonable prices, but the fact that there has been a change is completely reflected. An appetizer that was almost twice as expensive and you also paid extra for the dip. The waitress, the boss's daughter, was very disrespectful to the guests. This was the last visit, even though this restaurant was once the No. 1 in Flensburg for us. Quality assurance smooth 6.

We've known this restaurant for years, but haven't been there for a long time, the food was okay, nothing more and nothing less, the price is quite expensive and sometimes not justified. What one waitress did about paying by card was an absolute impudence and insulting to me. It was definitely my last visit to this restaurant. If you want to treat your customers that way, that's fine, but hopefully you won't get any new customers that way. It's a shame because it was always a good address.

Super nice and attentive service. The food was mostly tasty with a manageable portion size. Price/performance is good. Unfortunately the restaurant and the tables are very small and therefore the seats and aisles are quite cramped. Therefore, a table reservation is advisable.

We had ordered for 5 people and had to squeeze into the bench. It was my birthday and during dinner we were told that we only had seats for 1 hour. Almost thrown out on time. For me on my birthday, I was disappointed and angry at the same time.

My favorite restaurant of all time.

We ate at Hinkelstein today and I have to say, it was really great here. The service is great and the food is super delicious. We came here spontaneously and luckily got a table (make sure to reserve because it is very busy). We are very happy with the location. Highly recommended.

Vriendelijk en gastvrij restaurant. Gezellige sfeer. Goede porties en lekker eten. Personeel erg vriendelijk. Spelletjes aanwezig voor de kinderen

Great food, the oven potato (with mushrooms or other choices) is amazing! Atmosphere is great, place is quite dark and cozy, great beer. The ladies working here are very friendly! Wonderful experience! We’ve had very different experiences in Germany.

Very cozy restaurant with super nice staff and great food at a fair price :) we'll be happy to come back!

We were here for the first time today, 4 people and a small child. Absolutely delicious food, super nice staff. We will be back !

There were 6 of us there today. So four adults and two kids. The food was great for everyone and came to the table hot. The service was super nice and accommodating. Yes, you have to say the ambience has its own charm. The continuous counter and the tables right next to it are really great. So we'll definitely be back ☺️👍

We had a really delicious meal here. And we were allowed to take our lovely dog ​​in with us. Dr service was very accommodating. The food was excellently prepared and tasted great. Unreserved recommendation, gladly again

Super tasty, super friendly, super cozy... Always a pleasure 🥰

Great and satisfying pizzas, warm and friendly staff.

For all gastronomy lovers, For tourists and visitors to Flensburg, it is an absolute must to stop at the Hinkelstein. A top (family) service where you can tell that the work is done with heart and love. Of course, that alone is not enough, so the professionalism of the entire service should also be highly praised. Friendliness and courtesy are present from the first minute. With a huge selection of freshly tapped beer, there is also delicious wine and plenty of non-alcoholic and warm drinks. The menu offers something for everyone and special requests are accommodated and fulfilled with ease. Through the kitchen door you can see that a great team is working in the kitchen too. No hectic pace or loud words indicate a strong team. The fact that the kitchen is scrubbed with a scrubber and broom at the end of the kitchen also shows that hygiene is also very important. Many dishes are also offered in large and small portions, so that children and seniors are well looked after. The food is not only very good, it is also very plentiful. When you eat it is offered that you can take the food you don't manage to take with you. The candles on the table, the nightcap at the end, or the fact that you can even charge your cell phone shows again that hospitality and attentiveness are very important in this great, perfectly run family business. After well over 40 years of own catering and professional experience, I think I can afford such an assessment. I wish the owner family and the entire team continued success! Greetings W. Kerp

I rarely write reviews, but I really enjoy writing this restaurant. It is quite small and therefore has a family touch. Super nice service and most importantly: the food is super delicious! I haven't been disappointed so far and I go there quite regularly and like to come back every time. The small Harry Potter niche is particularly cute. Here you can see the attention to detail. Would give more stars if possible!

This was my 2nd visit to the restaurant. This time too we were very satisfied overall. The food is delicious, the prices still remain normal. I find the atmosphere very cozy. But what makes it so charming is the staff. Everyone receives a friendly welcome here and you get the feeling that you have been here many times. Conclusion: Good food, great team, cozy dining room. If you just want to have a nice evening with home-style cooking, you can't go wrong here.

Cozy location, great friendly staff, good food.

Cozy restaurant with delicious food at good prices with friendly service.

Oh my, what a find!!! Dark candle lit interior with beautiful exposed dark wood beams. Chilled and warm atmosphere. All food was great and maybe one of the best dinners I have had in all of my travels. Very accommodating even without having reservations. Highly recommended.

Honest, delicious food and great, friendly service. We will be back!

Unfortunately, only ready-made food is reasonably well prepared, unfortunately the love that was once there is completely missing. I had two schnitzels, which were definitely frozen goods, and a small bowl of fries for €20 - I don't understand the pricing policy and unfortunately it completely puts me off. Not recommendable.
