Jim Block Bikini in Berlin

A chain restaurant with high prices and mediocre quality. We've been here several times because it's conveniently located near the zoo, and my wife is a fan of fried mushrooms. The last two times, however, the burgers were cold, and the vegetarian patty is and remains inedible. Although the burgers were remade after a complaint, the burger was replaced with a different one than the one ordered. Unfortunately, the prices are far too high for the poor quality. The only thing you can safely order is the garlic bread, which tastes like it would at the Block House.

For me, it's number one when it comes to burgers. Even Burgermeister can't compete. The price-performance ratio is simply perfect. If you want that certain something, order regional for an extra €4, but the beef is worth it for its excellent taste.

Jim Block has a very good American menu. The burgers are very tasty and taste like the burgers in an American diner. The service was quick and friendly, the ambience is OK both inside and out. The price-performance ratio is very good. There is homemade ketchup and mayonnaise. The taste of the food is very harmonious and fresh. Absolute recommendation to “real American burger” fans.

Amazing experience! The burger so damn delicious :)

Very uncomfortable with the arrangement of the tables etc.

The service experience left a lot to be desired—staff at the cashier were quite unfriendly and responded with snarky remarks when I asked for help understanding how the orders were being called out. On a more positive note, the venue itself was clean and well-maintained, with a variety of seating options that I really appreciated. The burger was genuinely tasty, though the fries were fairly standard and nothing special. One thing I found disappointing was that they don’t offer tap water—even when you’re ordering two burgers and a 0.5L cola. That felt a bit unreasonable.

Vegan burger with pumpkin chia seeds patty was tasty - but not like the King. Ketchup with the fries was cool, salad was good and the sauce was also vegan.

Bad service, of no use here. Burger was cold and poorly presented. I had to wait a long time for 1 simple burger, which then turned out to be disappointed. The service here is rude. They just laugh at their customers here when they have a disability or condition (autism...).

I give a 1 because I can't give a 0 we had to wait 30 minutes to get 1 burger and had to wait 1 hour for fries it's ridiculous it's also super expensive and the staff laughs at me when I say something

good atmosphere for eating and hanging out with friends. The desserts are incredible

So I really enjoyed the burger menu. Sometimes you have to wait a little longer for your food. However, everything is fresh and not like the "American billionaires" where the burgers have been lying around for a while... - No comparison at all, I know. :-))) Thank you that Jim Block exists, unfortunately in far too few cities.

One of the best burgers I have had in a looong time and for a fast food restaurant it’s really great. I personally think the whole idea is great Han the food is amazing.

So I ate at Jim Block's for the first time and was very surprised, the service was typically very cold in Berlin, but that's friendly by Berlin standards. The food was a bit too cold, so I would have liked more heat, but the taste and quality were really good and the overall package was really tasty. The decor was very clean and typically Nordic, I'll be back, I liked it.

Chicago Chilieese menu ordered today, 04/22/25. First I forgot ketchup and mayonnaise and then realized that the cucumber salad consisted of 5 slices of cucumber with water. Can't keep up with Jim Block in Hamburg. Unfortunately, as a Berliner, I have to say this. So I imagine at least a dressing for a cucumber salad. But unpeeled thick slices of cucumber in water with some dry herb is not a salad. It was more like a piece of natural cucumber. I wanted to go in and ask if they were kidding me. In my eyes, it was cheeky and I would probably have burst.

Unpleasant service, which is hilarious for a fast casual restaurant. Its quite easily avoidable by training staff for professionalism but very little to be found here. overly rude and inattentive. The corpulent middle aged blond german woman really ought to be dismissed for how she discriminatorily profiled the young out of europe couple in front of me. It made me very uncomfortable, especially after she sought approval for her out of order behavior. Unlucky for me for having to order next, all i could do was smile irritatedly to her attempts at charged jokes aiming at the young couple and be confused by the familiarity i was supposed to have with her for being a fellow blonde i guess who happen to have a similar complexion? Wont be visiting there again till the place has its staff in order.

The truffle mayonnaise is very tasty. The Coleslow salad was very good. It tasted fresh, like cabbage and cream and luckily not like brandy vinegar. Highly recommended! The meatless citizen is good, looks and feels like meat, but something is missing in terms of taste. The beef burger was delicious and tasted good and juicy. Speaking of taste: Unfortunately, the citizens were overall over-seasoned and the sweet potato fries were very salty. Maybe the chef is in love?

Yummy. Price has been increased. But it still tastes great!

Great food, the burgers are delicious! It tends to get busy these days, and the tables get sticky, pls, for this price range, have the tables cleaned regularly

We got very tasty burgers, something different as we know it. The contact with the employees was very friendly and accommodating

We found it very nice here. After an extensive shopping tour, we ate something delicious here. We really liked the atmosphere. We'll definitely come back.

Beautiful inside. I've been there twice. The first time, the food was absolutely amazing, the second was just "good", not fantastic. Probably depends on the cook for the day. Overall, the atmosphere is superb 👌🏻

Me and my friends came here while we were staying in Berlin and it has changed us, it's been 3 months since we came here and I am still seeing the Philly cheesesteak in my dreams. The portion sizes and quality are so decent for the price, probably the best money I spent in Berlin. I ordered 3 sachets of mayonnaise because I'm used to the tiny pitiful amounts of mayonnaise you get in the UK just to be given an actual decent amount in each packet. Staff were very friendly despite me and my friends speaking no German. The food was just delicious and me and my friends have been debating going back to Berlin just to eat at this place again, my only complaint would be I wish they sold larger amounts of water cause I did have to buy multiple of the little glass bottles of water with every meal

We from the village were at JB Essen earlier and what can I say... Cool shop, great burgers. I'm thrilled.

We treated ourselves to a burger here before the cinema. These were great and freshly prepared. This is something completely different compared to Meckes! And the price is comparable. A fast food restaurant, clean and good. For me, significantly better than KFC.

Nothing really special in terms of burgers and fries. But it's not easy to find in Berlin, as the competition from individual burger shops is extremely high. It's hard for a chain to keep up with that. The cheeseburger (with extra jalapenos) was juicy and tasty. The price is relatively high, but to be fair it has to be mentioned that there are proper dishes and also appropriate portions of ketchup. Screen order system and quick, fresh preparation. Meat and vegetarian versions available.

Not good in taste. It said cucumber salad but please, do you call that cucumber salad? 3 slices of cucumber? You can save yourself that. And the sweet potato fries were flabby and no salt at all. Every hobby cook knows that they have to be nice and brown and, well, salt. Wouldn't come back again.

Always great, especially after the renovation it's even more comfortable. The burgers and salads are always great and the staff are always super friendly. Absolutely top and highly recommended.

We knew Jim Block from Wilmersdorfer Str. in Berlin. We ate there for the first time years ago and loved it. And then again and again with pleasure. Today we went to JB's bikini house. We had a Philly cheesesteak with cucumber salad and regular fries. Then another JB Regional with sweet potato fries. According to my friend, the JB Regional was good. The sweet potato fries were sticky. The normal fries were also borderline bad. But the highlight was the Philly cheesesteak. Subtly tough leftover meat, almost no hint of spiciness, the roll is really like a sponge. Cucumber salad? Little joke. A mini container with literally 4 cucumber slices! Including two “Fritz drinks” €41. I wouldn't say anything about the price if the food had been top. But people, that's not possible. Nevertheless: The staff was friendly, although they stopped listening when I pointed out the problems in a really friendly way. BUT: If you ever go out to eat there and something is wrong, let us know straight away - they want to improve it straight away! For us it was initially the last time. But mainly because we know it better from back then. Too bad JB! :-(

Nice burger and fries, but disappointed for the truffle sauce.

“Absolut ekelhaft! Der Laden ist schmutzig, es riecht unangenehm, und die Hygiene lässt komplett zu wünschen übrig. Die Produkte wirken alt und schlecht gepflegt. Hier kaufe ich definitiv nie wieder ein!”

Everything is very clean, very tasty burger variations, the little brother of the Blockhouse (which is right over there), food is freshly made and comes quickly, generally not cheap but of quality. The patties could be a bit softer. Very central between the zoo and Breitscheidplatz, right next to the ZooPalast cinema!

Everything is very delicious. I recommend it!

Very good burger in one of the most important commercial hubs of Berlin and close to the Zoo, the burger is very good (nothing to do with MC Donald's) the meat is juicy. Two hamburgers and two beers €25.

Great!! There's nothing more to say, it's a shame there's no one near me. But if I'm ever in “your” area, I'm a customer!

We were there just after 10pm on a Friday evening. It was very empty, the food was prepared quickly and, as always, it tasted very good.

Play with friends: Order them all separately. If the place sounds fun, have the man at the checkout call at least 3 times.

Very tasty and very good quality, fries were wonderfully hot and crispy. The burger was a poem 👍😄

Insgesamt eine entspannte Atmosphäre mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Die Burger sind ok, die Pommes auch - Mayo und Ketchup sind super. Angenehm, dass man von einem Teller ißt und Getränke in Gläsern serviert werden. Preis-Leistung ist ok.

It's a shame that the ordering terminal is not suitable for wheelchair users. They are way too high and you can't touch everything on the touchscreen because you can't reach it.

The friendliness of the staff has improved. The burgers are highly recommended and the Block beer goes well with them.

Very good food for good value for money

Delicious, affordable burgers in a top location. No restaurant, fast food shop.

Really good meat in the burgers, very tasty, clean, relatively cheap. But I would also like a more exciting burger, for example a particularly large one or one with avocado. Fries are also very good here. But you notice too much of the traffic outside

I was very dissatisfied The staff was totally annoyed by the guests... And they were often on their cell phones, which is just unprofessional if you come in and use your cell phone while you're at it, okay, but there could be better

It used to be better... Unfortunately, almost nothing is made fresh anymore. Goes into the oven…..long waiting time, despite few customers. It still tastes good, even if the burger is only lukewarm. However, I won't come again.

En nivå upp från vanliga snabbmatstället. Mysig miljö, serverat på porslin och lite roliga val på drickor. Hade inte väntat oss ett ställe utöver det vanliga, men överraskande bra!

I haven't experienced anything so unfriendly towards suppliers in a long time, the tattooed woman simply says to me seriously, "You can also say hello." I even said hello 😂 And the order I was supposed to pick up wasn't ready on time either... First of all, big F…. Get going but then also be unpunctual... I definitely won't be taking orders here or eating out myself anymore!

Food was good. The employee was very nice. I didn't hear my "street" called and the lady came to me and politely pointed out the street.

The worst. The store is under construction, and they are selling mini burgers outdoors, and it's been a while since I had eaten them, so I just wanted to eat them. The female employee's answer is very unkind. The answer is short-answer, she says she doesn't want to ruin her feelings and wants to eat it, so I ordered it, but it's so bad that I regret not selling French fries and going to another store. I would have turned away thinking, "If you had closed the door and didn't sell it, let's visit next time." I don't want to go again. Female employees, please get your education back. I don't know what made you feel bad since the morning, but you shouldn't take it out on the other person.

Great lunch. Price-performance top. Very friendly and attentive staff. Always my pleasure.

Lil Lano recommended JimBlock to me. I am eternally grateful to him because the burgers and fries are incredibly delicious!!!

Very friendly staff, food freshly prepared and very tasty

If only "Jim Block" wasn't as greedy as so many others... The burgers themselves are good, but over the course of several years you notice that sales and profit optimization are being carried out here. The prices are now very high, and the quality of the burger buns and garlic bread has decreased, both tastefully and noticeably. The location probably only works because it is in a tourist center next to other very expensive locations and therefore looks good in comparison. The previous Wilmersdorfer Straße location was initially reduced in size and then closed completely for economic reasons. I rarely go to the Zoo location anymore because of the now overpriced prices. It's a shame that what is actually a very good concept that has worked for a very long time is thrown out of balance by the greed for more sales and thus alienates long-time regular customers who actually supported the concept. Because once the customer is gone, he stays gone.

They dont have coke zero. The burger is excellent but why wouldn’t you have coke zero to offer to your customers?

The burger was very tasty and I can recommend the restaurant to everyone. The toilets were not clean and there were “skid marks” on the toilet seats in both toilets. The toilets here need to be cleaned more often.

Some of the most delicious burgers in Berlin! I come here very often, I tried the entire menu, all the burgers are very tasty, juicy, filling and at a very reasonable price. The staff is good, service is fast. Very clean and cozy.

It's fresh, but far too expensive for the very poor quality. It's better to look for a good restaurant or café, if only to avoid the sticky sauces from the bag. Counter occupied, but more with cell phones than with customers. It used to be better.

Overall good and tasty, quality is right. Unfortunately, it's quite expensive and picking up the burger doesn't always go smoothly when it's busier. But a good place to eat burgers. Better than Blockhouse itself.

You can order at the terminal or at the front counter, great. The selection is good and varied. You can also top the burger individually or leave out the ingredients. You will then be given a Berlin street or place to pick up. This is then announced loudly. We found that very annoying, it's better not to sit close to the food counter! A display board would make dining on site more relaxing. The burgers were very good, fresh and hot too. The sweet potato fries were no longer so hot and were also quite thin and had a lot of short ends. The selection of dips is also great, not just mayo and ketchup. However, the glasses already looked quite worn. The restaurant was otherwise very clean and tidy, compliments!

The man at the cashier did not understand our order. He became irritable when we warned him and asked us to cancel our order, which he had written incorrectly. We do not take anything from you by force. Please be patient and understanding when communicating with the customer.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant during my first visit. The employee who took my order was quite unfriendly and seemed rude. Despite clearly specifying that we wanted two vegetarian JB Champignons and one JB Hamburger with alternative meat, we were given the wrong order with meat instead. Overall, the service was lacking and it was a regrettable experience. On a positive note, we did enjoy the taste of the two JB Champignons.

Good quality everything. Except price.

Very good burgers, the fries are well seasoned and the price is great

Easy ordering possible at the terminal or counter. Fast processing, but it wasn't that busy either. Friendly staff. The burgers and side dishes were tasty, although the meat was a bit too well-done and not very seasoned.

This time people were very attentive. As soon as I sat down with my daughter, a staff member came and brought her something to paint. Immediately afterwards she came to the table with our food because I had to look after the child.

The fries were very tasty! I was just shocked at the size of the portion. Half a year ago the portions were twice as big...

I got a Philly cheesesteak and never thought I would avoid eating meat. It was so incredibly full of cartilage that you had no chance at all.

The two cheeseburgers were very good. The sweet potato fries were delicious and had just the right mix of sweet and crunchy. The normal fries, however, were okay. Overall, however, the meal was satisfactory.

I had a very tasty meal there. You order via tablet and the food came Fast.

The meat in the hamburgers tasted just like meat, which isnt something seen frequently.

I ordered the JB Cheese as a menu. You are asked far too many questions at the counter, all of which are intended to make you leave even more money. At the end I was surprised to find out that I had to pay 80 cents for ketchup with the fries. When I expressed my displeasure, I wasn't even looked at and another colleague acted as if she didn't even work there and that I should contact another employee. The burger itself is okay, but nothing special. But particularly expensive. No recommendation.

Please take the Philly cheesesteak off the menu

This community store is an absolute recommendation! The prices are rather high, but the quality is really impressive. The mayonnaise is the best I've ever eaten. But I would like a halloumi citizen as a vegetarian option. The patties are also very good! The best option for a fast food shop at the zoo.

Title: Disappointing dining experience at Jim Block's Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2 out of 5 stars) I recently visited Jim Block Restaurant and was quite impressed with several aspects. The service was friendly and attentive, the location was well chosen and the cleanliness left nothing to be desired. However, I was considerably disappointed with the food. I chose the Philly Cheesesteak, which unfortunately didn't live up to my expectations. The meat was tough and the sauce had no flavor whatsoever. It wasn't a culinary experience I was hoping for for the price of 13.90 euros. The meat could have been more tender and juicy, and the sauce should definitely have been tastier. I'm sorry to say this, but I have to be honest: for the price and the reputation of the restaurant, I would have expected much better quality.

I had the vegetarian beef burger and was disappointed. It was too salty for me and otherwise pretty bland. Generally more expensive than other fast food chains, but also plates instead of cardboard boxes, etc. The employees were very friendly and helpful.

Philly Cheesesteak looked fierce but was quite small.. Disappointment!!

Fast food in the higher price segment! I've been craving the Philly cheesesteak for weeks, so I treated myself to it. I have to say I expected a little more! The taste didn't blow me away, it was in the 'very okay!' category. However, the ingredients were very good, seemed fresh and high quality. The pickles served with it could easily have double the amount! The service was very nice, the glass kitchen is well-rounded and the atmosphere is quite cozy, you can easily spend a whole hour here. I'll give a burger another chance at some point! 3.5 stars from me!

Delicious. A little more expensive than the chain with the gold M, but it's worth it.

Burger is ok, price a bit high.

Very disappointed, I don't eat much but I didn't get anywhere near full here. Portions are smaller and the delicious coleslaw was no longer included. Price performance not justified.

What a disappointment... Ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and received the sad thing shown in the photo. Compare that to the ads; it's ridiculous! The taste was alright but the portion was half of what I was expecting and the bin was super bland and so soft that it couldn't hold the filling. For 13,90€ I'd rather have 2,5 Döner with extra cheese and no salad. Will never order again...

Very tasty burgers, with very good meat and overall looks very appetizing. We recommend

Incredible burger... highly recommend the Hot cheese burger if you like a spicy kick! Sweet potato fries also delicious... and a generous portion size!

Very tasty food. Service either via ordering terminal, as in every fast restaurant, or directly at the checkout. Employees were friendly and the dining area was clean.

I've been an absolute fan since my first burger at Jim Block in Hamburg 11 years ago. The quality is top in all branches. When we visited yesterday, the store was super clean and the staff was very friendly. For two menus with extras the price was 34 euros. We didn't have to wait long and the burgers were plentiful, warm and tasty. The bread is grenade as always. Toilets very clean.

I'm torn... I was super happy when I saw that you can now order from Jim Block via Uber Eats, and now I feel somewhat fooled 😬 So I definitely see positive things in the order: - Delivery was okay quick (I think 45 minutes or so) - Sweet potato fries were great (not always guaranteed when delivered) - Price/performance also difficult, as the portion was super small, but at least delicious - the garlic bread was also super tasty and fresh - the salad with patty was well received by my husband Not nice: - the baked potato was already very, very dry/as if it had been lying around for too long (should be my main course together with the grilled vegetables) - the grilled vegetables... phew... I love that at Block House, I know the portion size... what was going on here? The vegetables weighed less than 80 grams (!) without paper and some of them were badly burned. 80 grams - 5.40 euros. Vegetables with peppers, red onion, beans and mushrooms. Really? This was sold as a side dish, who is this supposed to be a side dish for? I know from the restaurant that the portion is twice as big. I think the picture shows clearly what I mean by “it almost makes you feel like you’re being made fun of”. So... I'm undecided. Was that bad luck? Were the vegetables empty? Do they always do it like that? Since grilled vegetables and baked potatoes were my main reason for ordering (don't judge me, a) I love it at Block House and always eat it there and b) I'm pregnant and don't have much of an appetite and was grateful for one of my favorite foods), the frustration is there Really high for that price... 38 euros including delivery fee for a manageable salad with 1 patty, small portion of sweet potato fries, 1 garlic bread, burnt mini grilled vegetables, 1 potato and 4 small sour cream cups. My Block House/Jim Block heart bleeds. You might read it. From the message. :-((

Food was way too expensive for what it was. Burger was really small. Salad was horrid. Save your money and go somewhere else. Burgermeister and Risa are nearby and more worth it.

Of course, the offerings for vegetarians or vegans at such chains are typically rather sparse, but it's nice that you can go there with several people and there is something for everyone. This restaurant was clean, bright and pleasantly quiet. But it was only half full. Tables were also available for larger groups. Funnily enough, the orders had Berlin street names, which I only discovered upon closer inspection on the receipt, namely when "Mehrower Allee" was loudly shouted... The vegan mushroom burger could only be eaten with cutlery because it was far too soft. The roasted mushrooms tasted very good. The vegan patty would have cost two euros extra and would have been similar to a meat patty. The menu with a sauce already cost more than 15 euros and my pain threshold was reached. Overall the tray was very neat and appetizing to look at.

Everything self-service, tourist mile and correspondingly premium both in terms of prices and taste... from time to time

The best burgers I've ever eaten! The service is great and the food is great! The staff are nice and there is plenty of seating. The selection of menus and burgers is huge. In addition, every burger, or the meat in the burgers, can simply be replaced with vegetarian meat. 5/5 stars! This restaurant deserves it!!!

We all enjoyed the food very much. But I didn't think it was justified to spend over €60 for 2 adults and 2 children. All in all, it's still a fast food shop. And why exactly does a veggie burger cost more than the meat that is advertised as being of such high quality?

Very good food, I recommend the regional burger set, I have no objections to the burger, but the fries taste like McDonald's, but apart from the fries, the restaurant is worth recommending

Gute solide Burger. Wir wurden nett bedient.

Leckere Burger sowie knusper Pommes 👌geschmacklich sehr würzig und lecker Punktabzug gibt’s für die Burger welche wirklich nicht groß sind ( Preis/Leistung)

Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ambiente war ok. Preis/Leistung war angemessen.

Mittlerweile muss man fast von Luxus-Burgern sprechen! Ich bin früher gern hier her gekommen. Klar, die Menüs waren immer schon teurer als bei McDonald’s oder Burger King. Aber die Qualität war auch eine Andere. Ich war jedoch leicht geschockt, als ich im frühen Januar '24 wieder mal dort war: Das günstigste Menü startet bei fast 13€! Und wenn man doch ein wenig mehr als nur einen ordinären Cheeseburger verzehren will, landet man auch schnell mal bei 15-18€, für EIN Menü wohlgemerkt. So bin ich beim Kids-Burger-essen letztlich zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass ich meinen Chef um eine 40%-ige Gehaltserhöhung bitten muss, um noch in der Lage zu sein, hier des Öfteren einzukehren. Schade, denn die Qualität der Burger ist überdurchschnittlich gut, auch das Ambiente stimmt. Nur der Preis ist meines Erachtens nicht mehr gerechtfertigt.

Super leckere Auswahl an unterschiedlichsten Burgern. Jeder Burger kann individuell noch mal gepimpt werden. Im Menü als Beilage das leckere Knoblauchbrot vom Blockhouse oder Pommes. Alternativ gibt es auch die leckere Bakartoffel. Hilight auch der Bestellname, der immer eine Straße oder ein Platz in Berlin ist. Bin nur nicht sicher, ob alle Touristen das verstehen. 😀 Ich komme wieder und bringe wieder welche mit.

Für den schnellen Hunger zwischendurch auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen! Burger sind gut und schmecken

Lange nicht mehr in einem Jim Block gewesen. Besser so. Burger mini. Hat mir auch gar nicht geschmeckt. Dafür viel zu teuer. Bdstellvorgang am Terminal einfach nur nervig. Brauche ich nicht mehr

Richtig leckere Burger. Große Auswahl an Sidings, Soßen und Extras. Von der Bestellung bis hin zum Essen dauert es nicht lange. Ein Mix aus Fastfood und Restaurant. Sehr gut.
