Jim Block Barmbek in Hamburg

The burger (9.50) was a bit puny as a menu. It tasted pretty good but I couldn't get enough

I rarely order, but every time I have to go back because something is missing and then the rest is already cold at home and I don't like eating there

So, what I had in my Philly cheese sandwich was definitely not something I would consider a steak. It's a shame, I expected more for the price.

I tried the meatless patty and was unfortunately very disappointed. The taste is debatable, but the consistency was really unconvincing and far below the standards of other manufacturers. It doesn't feel like a real burger. I find it particularly annoying that this patty also costs €2 more than the meat version. The price-performance ratio is simply not right here.

The better McDonald's. Unfortunately, the portions are getting smaller and smaller, especially since it is very expensive.

I've been a regular customer for almost a decade. I discovered it as a teenager, and I've been drawn back to JB ever since. The concept is good: the burgers are delicious, and the side dishes and a large, cold Coke Zero round it all out. Of course, the preparation time varies depending on the number of customers. The kitchen has limited capacity, right? I'm happy to accept the extra wait. The quality is consistently good. You get used to the changes after a few orders. That's what happened to me with the bun. If the mayo was different, I noticed it right away; luckily, the old mayo always came back, or at least the taste was better :). The prices have, of course, changed over the years. I would like to see the JB Card restructured. It would be nice to be able to add points (again), as the card is often forgotten during a spontaneous visit. Perhaps a separate login to keep track of orders and points.

Very unfriendly service at the checkout. Absolutely exorbitant prices for the fact that you're served leftovers from the steakhouse next door. 20 euros for Philly cheesesteak menu with bread that was barely toasted, soggy and completely fell apart while eating. Ketchup costs extra. You're better off eating at Subway. I actually had stomach problems afterwards. Other customers have complained loudly about the varying length of the Knobi breads.

Delivery service disaster, something is always missing! Food ok, priced very high, even the children's menu! Service was also friendlier at times... a shame.

Ever since I've known this place, I've always gone there to eat the Italian menu. Very good food and little waiting times 🫡

Jim Block is always a nice spot to eat delicious burgers.

It's always worth a snack. Everything is top-notch and delicious.

Friendly staff. I enjoy eating here.

Our go-to block house in Hamburg! The Block House here impresses with its consistent quality and friendly service. We always enjoy coming here 😉

It tasted very tasty. What I also think is good: you can have all citizens with turkey meat. That was the tastiest citizen I have eaten in a long time.

Been here again after a long time and bitterly regretted it. Had a mini cheese double menu. Fries too long, or fried again. Definitely more than crispy. But the meat on the patties was really disgusting. This no longer has anything in common with the quality of before. Tasted like a cheap burger from the gas station. What just happened here?

I don't know of any better burgers (with meat, I can't judge vegetarian). Friendly people. You can tell that everyone enjoys working there. Guest room 'rustic'. I like it.

I have been visiting this branch regularly for years and have always been satisfied with the service and food. However, a few points have emerged recently that I would like to address. Most recently I ordered a takeaway menu for which I had to wait 30 minutes. After 15 minutes I politely asked if my order had perhaps been overlooked. Another 15 minutes later the order was finally called. Unfortunately, I received neither an apology nor an offer of compensation or any other form of goodwill.

Is highly recommended, everything was right

Been here again for a long time and it was like before. We immediately felt at home, were greeted warmly, had free choice of seating and great service (very attentive and friendly) and the food was great 👍🏻

Jim Block, the fast food subsidiary of Block House, has made a name for itself in Hamburg - and rightly so. The branch I visited has an excellent location right on the main street, which makes it particularly attractive for those who are quickly hungry during their lunch break. Order & Service The modern terminal ordering is practical and enables uncomplicated selection. However, the wait was a little longer due to the lunch rush - understandable, but not ideal if you're short on time. Calling out a name instead of a number is a personal touch that stands out positively. Ambiance A big plus point is the cleanliness of the location. Compared to other fast food chains, the branch looks tidy and well-kept - a pleasant place for a quick lunch break. The Food Philly Steak Menu. The bread: Fluffy and pleasant to the bite, but unfortunately cut too deeply, which caused unnecessary mess when biting off. The steak: Excellently seasoned and fried to perfection – a highlight of the dish. The sauce: The taste was okay, but a little too reserved for my taste. A touch more spiciness would have rounded the whole thing off. The side dish: The cucumber slices in the small bowl were rather disappointing. They seemed uninspired and added nothing to the meal - there is room for improvement here. The JB bread: Unfortunately a downer. It was in the oven a little too long, which made it slightly dry on the top. It also lacks the incomparable taste of the classic Block House bread. Conclusion Overall, a solid fast food experience that scores particularly well with its central location and decent ambience. There are light and shadows in terms of taste, but the quality of the steak and the cleanliness set Jim Block apart from many competitors. It's a good choice for a quick bite, even if minor weaknesses spoil the impression. I will definitely come back to try more dishes.

The food is good but the prices are steep

Cheaper than MC D... and BK definitely And portions are also hugely larger than at the two stalls mentioned above

Burger delicious. Staff neutral to unfriendly. Overall nice.

Unfortunately, the quality decreases and so does the size of the Pirtion. A trend that seems to now be standard in all Block branches. It's a shame actually...

I've been going here for years, everything has actually always been quite good, except today I order my food via Ubereat and shortly afterwards they cancel my order themselves but say that it was Ubereat even though I have confirmation, see attached picture that it was from Jim Block himself. The would-be manager who didn't have the balls to say it was himself tried to talk his way out of it instead of giving my order. Finally I paid without getting anything. Again, I didn't even want my money back, I just wanted my order for what I paid for, but okay, unfortunately it was very cheeky! Then he comes with me, I'll ban you from the house, blah blah blah!

Always worth a visit. The mushroom citizen is really mega.

Very expensive, tasteless, very unfortunate...

The store and the prices were quite fair 5 years ago. Now the weirdos even charge 80 cents for ketchup. Fries are cold and hard and the garlic bread is getting smaller too. . I advise everyone to go to a different restaurant.

Soggy burgers and unfriendly staff. :/ Staff at the register was spreading bad vibes in the kitchen. Bad vibes should not be near food. We tried the new double cheeseburger. The lower part of the bun was completely soggy and the burger kind of underwhelming for its price. When I asked about the double cheeseburger at the counter, she snapped at me in an unfriendly manner, pointing out that there is a sign outside where it was dark and rainy. Not how a customer should be treated. I can't recommend this place. The overall dining experience was just meh. Fries were ok.

We have actually always been regular customers at Jim Block in Barmbek for many years. But now we have been very disappointed once again. Ordered today: 2 Champion Burger menu, 1x with fries, 1x with baked potatoes. Additionally, a mixed salad, 2 garlic breads and a small extra paddy. The burgers were only lukewarm, very little champions and a completely soggy bun. The extra paddy was totally hard, no longer juicy at all. The worst: The fries were cold. (complained, but only received new ones lukewarm) The baked potato was soft and cooked, but cold. As soon as the food was served there was chaos (burgers, fries were mixed up, bread was initially forgotten). For a price of over 20 euros per person, this is fine Price-performance ratio no longer.🥴

Tasty food, friendly service and comfortable seating. Would love to come back.

I've never been tempted to give such a negative review, but after a really bad visit to the BlockHouse on Jungfernstieg in the summer, we gave Block another try on the way home today. We took some food with us - I don't know where to start - praise in advance, the lady at the checkout was the only one who seemed to have an overview, the gentlemen in the kitchen all looked sullen - the food was one Disaster! We had the Philly Cheese menu with the Philly Cheese Fries- which had 2 teaspoons of sauce on it when it came up and the meat was dry and countable, actually it was just mostly very dry fries- there was also a lot of the Philly Cheese on it Meat was very manageable, the main ingredient was the bread, which was super dry - I think €25 for that is very exaggerated, even in this day and age. We definitely won't eat there again.

The shop is empty! Does the operator not notice why? Doesn't anyone ever do a test meal? The grill times are too long! Everything is dry! I'll save you the prefix with F! Waiting times are too long; Previously good staff has apparently said goodbye. The whole chain is doomed. That's not how it works. There's hardly anything going on next to the State Opera; years ago long queues; Vapiano has shown how it will happen.

Totally overrated, for the price you could go to a good burger shop and not a German type of fast food no better than macdonalds or burger king which is much more expensive. Not worth it, the service was very unfriendly and the food was mediocre. I don't understand why Jim Blocks are still open 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

The food is as usual, upscale fast food. In my opinion it tastes good and is made direct to order. Service varies from person to person, the cashier was very nice, her replacement seemed clearly stressed when serving the food.

I've been a customer of Jim Block Barmbek for 20 years now and unfortunately I have to mention something negative, because if you increase the prices you shouldn't make the burgers smaller. The citizens still taste great but the burgers used to be much bigger like a mini cheeseburger.

Very nice. The food tasted very good. The service was friendly as always the metre dame in the evening. The food was. Great experience and would be happy again.

Always very satisfied. Consistently great value for money!

Potatoes a bit sour, Otherwise the food was very tasty The meat is super tasty Vegetables very good

Unfortunately, the bacon was burned for the second time, and this time the meat was overcooked and no longer juicy. I'm actually used to a different quality from Jim Block.

I would be happy to respond to Jim Block's answer regarding suggestions for improvement... There's no question that the food is really tasty, I just think the portion sizes are a bit too small, especially your patties. The price is correspondingly far too high, unfortunately. It would also make sense and be customer-oriented if there were ketchup and mayo bottles on the tables. It's too expensive and way too little if you sell small packages of ketchup, other restaurants do it better. With these high menu prices, at least that should be included.

It was OK...had a salad...it was better

I don't like giving bad reviews, but the meat and the whole food was a disaster, the service was nice, but the food itself (I had Mister Rumpsteak) was tough and inedible. The same with my brother-in-law, unfortunately not the first time, but it was definitely the last time.. .

The food and the staff at the front are great, but unfortunately the toilets are a complete disaster and really disgusting. I think the interval should perhaps be adjusted more often, as it seemed as if they hadn't been cleaned in a while?

I would happily recommend JB. Personally, I found the burger a bit greasy, but otherwise it was really tasty and good.

There for the second and last time. Extremely disappointed. Never had such a bad burger. Tough meat. Fried to death. Flatulence all night long Absolute impudence. I praise the burger on the Reeperbahn Dirty tables inside which were only cleaned after request

It was very good again. Food great, service very nice. The special menu with fresh mushroom dishes is great. The right wine to go with it - great. One of the few places where you can still eat well.

After every trip to Hamburg I eat with you. Simply mega

Seats available. A counter for ordering, but also an order terminal on site. It's debatable about taste (especially when it comes to burgers), so everyone should make up their own mind. My family is divided.

I still think Jim Block is the best burger chain, which is probably because there aren't tons of branches like competitors with franchisees. It always tastes a touch fresher than the competition. I love the JB Regional. It is also a piece of childhood memory. The branch here is not as huge as others, which helps the quality.

The burgers 🍔 are amazing, very nice staff

Great steaks, just right. Everything was right, it gave me back my faith in steakhouses. Thanks

Unfortunately there are only potato buns left, but wheat tastes worlds better with Jim Block's sauce, and offering an alternative would be great.

Been to Jim Block for the first time and I have to say the burgers 🍔 are really tasty 🤤. The cool thing is you can design your burger 🍔 the way you want it. Fries 🍟 and garlic bread 🍞 were also delicious. The only thing that bothers me is the price for 40 grams of mayo/ketchup. The store 🏬 clean and well maintained. On-site parking is a bit more difficult. Paying is easy on the order monitor. Bar or card 💳 both are possible and the staff on site are also very friendly. You would have liked a little dessert 🍮 😚😝

The food was log cabin standard good, my opinion Refreshing cranberry spritzer. Otherwise, I think the store is a bit old and not very refreshing. I think it just needs to be a little more modern, brighter and fresher visually.

The burgers are delicious, the service is terrible. You only notice when something goes wrong. Then suddenly no one is responsible. Never again!

Always friendly, always great! If it's full, it's better to check your order when you take it away. Something was missing twice, but it was reworked very accommodatingly.

Fast service, food good and tastes good. We like coming here. Toilet always clean. Pleasant crowd and a normal noise level while eating.

Unfortunately I have to say that it has worn off. This is simply done carelessly, and unfortunately I have experienced this many times now

A very cozy restaurant, good steaks and attentive service. And the prices are still quite acceptable.

As a customer for years, I am horrified by what I had to see today... The two specialists at the grill tried and managed to "fish" a cardboard box out of a hanging cupboard above the buffet with their grill tongs, which are also used to turn the grilled food 🤮 I can throw up the burgers from the last 20 years now... Just disgusting, apart from the exorbitantly increased prices... Well... I'll just get a kebab or go to Vietnam🤷‍♂️ #lastmeal

I ordered the JB salad menu. The salad was fresh and the chicken was nicely grilled. The dressing was very tasty. The mushrooms on the side were also well fried. The order was taken quickly and the food was prepared quickly. I will gladly come again.

Fast and thorough service. The food is high quality and tasty.

Celebrated my birthday there, great service, the food was great as always!!!!!

Unimpressed by the wave of opening new burger roasters that has been going on for years, JB has been offering top burgers for decades. We were obviously there at a time when general hunger was not yet or no longer acute. So we only had to wait in line for a short time to place our order. There is a street name on the receipt you receive, which will be called up as soon as the order is complete. In the meantime you can watch the hustle and bustle in the kitchen. Even back then, serving the burger on a porcelain plate was a clear distinguishing feature from the giant chains. The plate is already in the hatch to the counter and rolls, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and other desired ingredients are waiting for the steaming patty. Just fold it up briefly and you can take the tray inside or outside to eat at the table. It's nice that in addition to the usual drinks from the vending machine, there is also a selection of Fritz refreshments. Well, the knife and fork are also on the tray, but that's too much of a good thing. A decent burger is eaten out of your hand. This also applies to the very good thin fries, fortunately cut with the skin on. Plus the tomatoey and not too sweet JB ketchup. This and the mayo are served in 40mL(!) bags. Either there is too much sauce or there are not enough fries. Unfortunately we were left with ketchup and mayo. However, nothing remained of the extremely successful burger. We upgraded it with a 160g patty from regional production. Normal is 125g, probably Argentine beef. The meat is juicy with a nice flavor of its own. The spicy version with jalapeños and chili cheese sauce is exactly my thing.

As always, the service and quality of the goods was great!

Eating up and down for over 30 years. Everything was very, very tasty 😋 Always friendly, clean and the price-performance ratio was right 👍

Was at Jim block Barmbek's today. Employees look nice. Thank you for the burger. Poorly seasoned and the bun, which was far too soft, fell apart when I took a bite. The fries were way too dry. It's a shame I wanted to treat myself. I should have left it alone. It tastes much better at Jungfernstieg and in Wandsbek.

If I rate it as a fast food chain it definitely gets 5/5 stars. What would be great would be, for example: USB charging sockets at the seats. But food was good. Price could also be a little cheaper, but all in all really good.

Sweet potato fries were only small crumbs, the cheese on the cheeseburger didn't melt but was cold and hard, the sauce offered was added according to the receipt. No ice in the cola despite the high temperatures outside. Not appropriate for the price! The waitresses continued to chat even though I was standing at the counter, so I had to ask first if I could order… I used to love the store!

It was very tasty. Friendly staff. Everything very clean. You can sit outside. No parking spaces available.

Jim Block Barmbek offers delicious burgers with fresh ingredients in a welcoming atmosphere. The diverse menu caters to all tastes, and the friendly staff ensures a pleasant dining experience. Highly recommended for a quick, satisfying meal.

Jim Block is basically the fast food version of Blockhouse with burgers and stuff. It's mostly more or less, freshly reported too, but otherwise just average at fairly decent prices. So 3 stars. If you want to go to the real Blockhouse and have a steak, you'll find it right next to it. So you can choose what kind of American you want to eat. Free parking is usually available in the small street behind it if you are looking for something and want to walk 50m.

....unfortunately the sirloin steak wasn't that great. There were few guests in the log cabin. We like it much better in the Alster Valley, including the food. It was a try (Barmbek) since we were nearby but it's not one of our favorites.

I had the cheesesteak...maybe that was the mistake. Wasn't really convincing. However, the ambience was nice.

I love the mushroom burger, my husband has been eating it for 30 years and it still tastes good.

Absolutely disgusting to the point of literally spitting the first bite out of your mouth before throwing everything else guilt-free in the trash. Shockingly awuful "food" even for Germany 🤢🤮😦. Shame on you lowlife company.

Great lunch, good service. Come back

A burger shop completely unvarnished. No beauty staff, just normal people. Some are even much older than their audience. Very soothing! The facility is also getting old. The quality of the food was impeccable and also unadorned. All of this together has its own charm. I like that and enjoy eating there without makeup. Here I am human, here I can be. Thanks!

Well, unfortunately the food looks like it was made by the intern, but the taste is good

It's more like fast food, and it's quite expensive. It's not particularly comfortable to sit there and the food tastes great too. The slice of cheese on the cheeseburger was just put on cold and not melted.

The local fishmonger didn't have fish soup, so we went to Jim Block's. I got a large portion for 13€ and with cabbage salad and a drink. My wife had a BQ burger as a menu, all for €35. The main part and also the burger were less than mediocre, you can't go wrong with fries, cabbage salad and the drinks. I'll have to remember this post next time I head to this house again.

It's been a long time since I've been back to the Block House. I had a rump steak with fries. What can I say...... A pleasure, a taste ecstasy, simply delicious. Top service and above all a very relaxed atmosphere. 👍👍👍👍

Very nice and friendly even though it was packed and we hadn't booked a table with 6 people 🙈and it was delicious too 👍

The Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich is very tasty and has plenty of toppings. The onion and mushroom cheeseburger is my favorite burger.

Simply expensive...it doesn't compare to the food.

I like the food, but is becoming very expensive, every time I go, the prices are higher.

So the food delivered was a disappointment! The cucumber salad was exactly a forkful. One! The grilled vegetables for over €5 were a joke, the bowl was 2/3 empty and the garlic bread was just half a piece. That was really disappointing!

Haven't been there for a long time. Despite the renovation, it has hardly changed in a positive sense. The prices though, holla the forest fairy! For self-service and a mediocre burger with side dishes just under €20. Quite a lot for one lunch! Ketchup €0.80 extra charge!!!

Standard burger house, quality is fine, prices a little bit high but we know; meat is expensive. Unfortunately parking lot are not available

You have to go to the first floor to get to the restaurant. An elevator is available. Furnishings are old-fashioned. I ordered the fish with potato gratin. The portion was super small. I wasn't full at all. No salad included. The price €23.00 euros, not fair. 2 people ordered the bowl. Large portion and really tasty price €17.00. The 4th person had a steak and the baked potato. There was a salad there. The price €28.00. We were there for lunch on a Wednesday. Had to wait almost 1 hour for our food. The service was friendly. We won't go there again.

Block standard. The rock in the Barmbeker surf.

I just did the math. I have enjoyed coming here again and again for 38 years. But unfortunately the emphasis is on was. Yesterday the three of us spent just over €50 on 3 citizens' menus. That just blows everything up! Yes, now the “old bag” is back with the euro conversion but I’ll do it anyway! In Dmark 100! The prices have simply become outrageous. I can afford it because I earn well, but I really don't see it anymore! Who else wants to afford something like that? The burgers have actually become smaller and not just more expensive. You try to compensate for this visually by increasing the amount of fries. The "lady" who took our orders totally unsettled my wife and sister-in-law with her clumsy, dominant manner. No smile, no friendliness, nothing! There was a misunderstanding with the drinks when ordering. Nothing crazy. But instead of an apology or a smile that it was probably a misunderstanding, all I got was no, you didn't order that, almost reproachfully. So we felt really uncomfortable. I have 15 years in the catering industry behind me and my wife works in service. Sorry, but that's not possible! Don't you need to be friendly anymore?! Is the staff shortage that bad? The lady belongs in a chip shop in Wilhelmsburg but not behind the counter at Jim Block! We won't be coming back but not just because of the lady. It's all a shame but pointless. There will NOT be ANY MORE CENT from us in the future.

I actually thought that you could easily eat a piece of meat there. However, I was a little disappointed. I had the pastured lamb. It was medium as requested. But there were only two small pieces with a ready-made potato casserole portion, a toasted plain bread (which didn't make any sense to me) and an extra bowl of spinach with garlic (it was really tasty). And for that little bit (and I only eat “women’s portions”) €24.70, I thought it was a bit much. In my opinion, they could have served the bread with some herb butter as a starter. So I don't know if I'll go to the restaurant again...

I've rarely eaten such a delicious burger. Jim Block's concept is interesting and convinced me. The staff were very friendly.

We stayed at the Blockhouse Barmbek. The service was very attentive and friendly. The food was good, but unfortunately the steak was a bit overdone. Everything else was excellent.👍

Not nice, but burgers are good for a good price.

It was OK. The restaurant was already slightly rocked.

A bit expensive but it tastes good.

Still tastes good. Unfortunately, the price of around 10 euros is already very high.
