Knusperz in Dortmund

Unfortunately closed, just standing in front of the shop. Vacation until July 31st doesn't look like the Knusperz will open again 🤷‍♀️

The first time I was there it was super tasty, always with pleasure..

Disgustingly honest. I only ate mac'n cheese and most likely got food poisoning. Had to break 4 times before the last piece of cheese (probably moldy) came out of my stomach. The taste was already foreign to me when I ate it, but I didn't want to waste the food and still tried to finish it. (I regret it very much) Some of the things advertised on Instagram don't even exist. (E.g. Philly cheesesteak) In addition, the staff is inattentive and unfriendly. I definitely don't recommend this store.

Super attentive service, delicious Philly cheesesteak sandwich, would love to come back!

Wow! The Philly Cheese Steak is amazing! Next week again. 😉

You made my day! Thanks for that 🙏 Incredibly warm service, super delicious food and this croissant tasted heavenly 👌

Something new. Really delicious! 😍😍😍

I can warmly recommend the Chili Philly. My Philly was with entrecote steak. On top of that, the service was very good ☺️☺️☺️ I would love to come back.

Top top store always good and always something new, finally something different in Dortmund Hot dogs and sandwiches 1 a

The eye definitely eats with it. In fact, only the eyes eat. Service was very attentive.

Stopped by today and treated ourselves to the Classic Philli and the Pulled Beef Burger. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the food was beyond outstanding! In addition to the delicious main course, we were greeted by the delicious Oreo shakes which were incredibly tasty 👌🏽 We were warmly welcomed by the waitress and were taken seriously as customers, which is unfortunately no longer standard these days. The atmosphere is great and there are really good seating options. We'll be there more often soon!

Top service and very tasty food.

Hello, I can't understand the good reviews at all. You don't have to be a foodie to realize that the food is absolutely not freshly prepared. I was really excited about the store, I was really impressed by the pictures on Instagram and I couldn't wait to eat there. I went there with my girlfriend and we tried many different dishes. It was strange that the food was ready within 5 minutes. Of course it was simply put in the microwave and heated up, which of course we also observed. At least it would have tasted good... A shop with a lot of potential. It's a shame that nothing is freshly prepared there. One of the worst stores I've ever been to! My answer to her reaction: I really don't want to offend you. Everyone should do their own business and earn their money. But I'm not a liar. You can still see the microwave clearly in our videos. More appearance than reality!

Nothing special and nothing you have to go out of your way for. Staff initially nice and friendly, even openly asking for criticism; When this came, there was only a disinterested shrug of the shoulders. Dishes are very, very small and of the highest quality. The photos on Instagram are obviously very well photographed.

Very nice, friendly employee, super delicious food! only recommended.

After a visit to Knusperz you'll feel like a piñata. Filled to the brim with the most delicious things

Despite a reservation, we stood in front of the shop's grille, we waited for half an hour, but neither the call nor the shouts were answered. The door to the shop was open, but unfortunately there were no staff present. It's really a shame, a note or something similar would have been nice.

Disappointing service I would like to express my displeasure: Thanks for nothing! Last week a colleague assured me on the phone that you could check online whether a table was available. So I reserved a table online, came all the way from Wuppertal and what can I expect? Closed doors and drawn blinds! Thank you for this disappointing service!

Really very tasty food Great👐✌️✌️🦅

Great service, thank you for taking the time to explain. A TikTok find that you can recommend. The crowning glory was the viral cookie croissant with chocolate filling, 2 pieces for the price you can never say no to! Extremely delicious

We were at the Knusperz at the weekend. We tried the Phili Cheese Steak and were very satisfied. Everything is prepared with love and care. The employees always strive to provide you with good quality. Keep it up.

Very, very highly recommended, there is a concept behind it, you can just tell that everything is made with love, super friendly staff, extremely clean atmosphere and the food is A+, extremely nice that there is a Helal alternative, I can recommend it to everyone lay 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Expectations were far exceeded, from now on this will be the standard shop in Dortmund. I can only recommend it, I hope for other locations, preferably in Cologne or Bonn😉

The food was really anything but delicious. It was OVERLOADED with cheap nacho cheese sauce (which was sour), and the meat was extremely stingy. At the same time, instead of fresh vegetables (peppers), there were pickled peppers from the jar that were really too sour. You almost didn't taste the meat at all because of all the sauce and the sour pepperoni. It was extremely stuffy in the store and the benches were extremely uncomfortable. At the same time, there is a “Hot Deal” that consists of a burger or “cheesesteak” and a Rewe cookie. Once and really never again. ps. I can't say anything about the burger because there was no meat and that's why we didn't get a burger. But if you want to eat a Philly cheesesteak, you've really come to the wrong place here (unfortunately)!

Unfortunately I was deceived by the good reviews. Things from the supermarket next door are thrown together and served here. The cheese sauce that tasted like chemicals gave me a stomach ache. The biggest outrage was the small supermarket “cookie” that was offered as a dessert. Never experienced anything like that. In addition, we were not allowed to use the discount you offer on Neotaste because you would already “save enough” with the menu. There is no such restriction in the app. Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with gastronomy. Very disappointed…

The food is good , but the dessert menu has been decreased. Milkshakes are great , don miss out

sandwich with steak strips and cheese sauce, cherry tea and then a cookie croissant - really tasty. Waitress is very attentive. Really comfortable to sit there.

Quality of the food was excellent. Fresh ingredients and delicious preparation 😋 The service was quick, friendly and professional. The staff was attentive and ensured all of our needs were met. To round things off, the owner let us try dessert on the house (very tasty🤩) The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxing and the restaurant was spotlessly clean. The price-performance ratio was also totally reasonable! I can only recommend it 👍

Very tasty food, service was a 10/10!! Extremely friendly employees

Great load Great meat Great service And very important, great variety

Found a new favorite food spot. The Philly cheesesteaks were so delicious. My favorite the Surf & Turf 😍 + super dear owner. Thank you!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Everything was great!! The owner is so nice and the service is awesome! You have to visit this once

GREAT store!!!! The owner is super nice and accommodating!! Nice service, cool ambience and relaxed atmosphere. I particularly liked the fusion of Cookie & Crossaint!

The journey is worth it. Super nice, courteous staff and the food was also great. I can recommend the cookie croissant as a desert!

Went to Knusperz for the first time today and were thrilled. From popcorn to burgers to chocolate cake, everything is top and very tasty! Very friendly service, top service. All in all very recommendable. We will be back definitely!

Bedauerlicherweise haben wir uns von einem Instagram Reel auf den Laden bringen lassen und waren maßlos enttäuscht. In dem Video auf Instagram wurden unglaublich viele leckere Gerichte gezeigt und auch die Instagram Seite vom Restaurant ist meiner Meinung nach, sehr irreführend. Man bekommt das Gefühl eine große Auswahl an leckeren selbstgemachten Gerichten zu bekommen. Die Wahrheit ist aber leider, dass es auf der ganzen Karte zu dem Zeitpunkt nur ca. 10 Gerichte gab (mit Nachttisch inbegriffen) wir hatten uns total drauf gefreut aber jedes Gericht wirkte so als wäre es aus der Metro zusammengekauft. Unter Mac and cheese verstehe ich auch was anderes als gekochte Nudeln mit ein bisschen Käse drauf. Dazu finde ich auch die Reaktionen/Antworten auf Google von dem Inhaber sehr unprofessional und finde es schade, dass man sich bei Kritik sofort persönlich angegriffen fühlt und passiv aggressiv antwortet. Sehr schade. Nie wieder.

Very nice service, delicious food, good prices and nice shop 👍

Unfortunately no 5 stars for the food. My personal opinion is that the Surf N' Turf Cheesesteak unfortunately didn't have enough meat. For this price you would have wished for more. The bread was fluffy and tasty, ingredients like peppers and chili cheese sauce were tasty, but there was also too much pepper. Service was super friendly and attentive. Good advice and fast service. Dessert was ok, but you have to try the croissants 👍👌. Shop very clean and good seating. So next time “please” more meat and you’ll be assured of 5 stars! Side orders were also delicious and should definitely be tried. The shakes at least looked really tempting, but I didn't order them and only heard from other guests how delicious they were.

Were there for the first time today with two people. And definitely not for the last time, great advice from the service staff, very competent advice, very strong! The food was very tasty and left you wanting more. We each had the menu for €15.50 and were very hungry and both were full. The cookie for dessert is to die for. Even if you're a vegetarian you'll get your money's worth here! Can be recommended without hesitation :) We look forward to the next visit.

The food in this restaurant is simply delicious! The dishes are freshly prepared and taste simply fantastic. The variety of food is impressive and there is something to suit every taste. The employees are also very friendly and attentive. They ensure that you always feel welcome and in good hands here. Overall, a great experience that I can only rate positively!

Nice little restaurant with delicious messes. The service during our visit was more than super friendly. We'd love to come back

For Instagram it's enough to take a few nice pictures. The taste was really not good. The mac'n'cheese were too dry and spicy that burned the sandwich. The waitress was unmotivated, couldn't remember the orders and said stupid things at every opportunity. There was also some savings on the benches, which are relatively short and hard. The place doesn't invite you to linger and the staff smoking outside the door is a deterrent. To do this, dishes are advertised on Instagram that are not on the menu and that the waitress doesn't even know. DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDATION.

The food looks quite nice, but has nothing to do with the taste. The staff was very cheeky.

We went to this snack bar today at 7 p.m. and wanted something to eat. There are no notices in the restaurant stating that you are not allowed to sit down. When we sat down, we were rudely told that everything was fully booked until 9 p.m., even though there were only three tables occupied in the store itself. After we left the “restaurant”, we saw on the website that you could have made a reservation at 7:30 p.m., but that makes no sense when the whole place is “empty”. After my experience today, I won't go to this store again even though the place looks nice.

I was there twice. You can't beat a pulled beef burger!!!!!!! Nowhere else have I eaten a burger as delicious as here. Top. Desserts/sweets...a dream. Unfortunately, Philly Cheese wasn't my thing. The meat was cut into pieces that were way too big and the steamed peppers made the delicious baguette wet and soggy - a shame. The crispy noodles were MEGAAAAA DELICIOUS. The service/owner is a super friendly and attentive person. You feel very comfortable!!!

Nice country with a great atmosphere. The service was great, our waitress Pati was very nice and attentive.

Would have liked to eat there, but we weren't served. Reserved for 7:45 p.m., when we came in we were just looked at, but that was it and then we just sat down. After half an hour, after the waitresses walked past us several times, we left. If it was busy and there was a lot to do, that's totally fine, but the place wasn't particularly busy and the staff were more interested in rummaging around than doing anything.

We were there for the first time today and it was just great. The pulled beef burger was super juicy and the Philly beef stake was a hit, especially the cheese sauce. The nachos were hot and crispy, the dips were all delicious. The pasta chips weren't to our taste, but they were also freshly made, only the seasoning wasn't to our liking. The shakes were a great ending. But what made the whole thing really special was the service. We have rarely had such a nice and helpful waitress. She explained all the dishes to us, asked us how it tasted and was just super personable. With 2 main courses with side dishes as well as 2 drinks and 2 shakes for under 50€ you really can't say anything other than we'll be happy to come back.

Nice service, delicious food - you should especially try the brownie disaster as dessert. Small drawback, the cute, clean toilet. The sink deserves special attention... space-saving and a real challenge after the brownie disaster ;)

Great service, delicious food and a sample package to take home! 10/10

Good, tasty burgers and baguettes. The service was super friendly, the new operation was really great. The meat is something different, tasty and at a fair price. It's a bit of a shame that the "standards" don't exist additionally. A burger joint without minced meat patties, without fries and without ketchup is quite special. Our younger daughter went home hungry.

The food was really tasty and the staff was super attentive!

We were there on Wednesday last week, yes, what can I say, it was very tasty, we tried our way through the menu and everything was very tasty, but I especially liked my citizen with the cheese poured over it, simply mega 👌! Also great service from the owner, everything was very nice 👍! So if we are in Dortmund again we will definitely come back 🤗!

Very friendly staff and the food is absolutely recommended!

Very nice restaurant, what can I say, simply delicious, the atmosphere is also great, we would love to come back 😁

Für Knusperz kann man auch Groupons erwerben. Das Einlösen ist kompliziert weil die Betreiber keine Lust darauf haben.

Visited the restaurant with a groupon voucher. Excellent food, creative dishes (pasta fries) and courteous service. Will definitely be back for the Philly Cheese Steak.

My wife and I had dinner with our friends at "Knusperz" today. My friend discovered the small restaurant on Instagram. The drive from Kamen was worth it, the food was great, the service from the young lady was very friendly and accommodating. We can really recommend a visit.

Crunch Yesterday we were at Knusperz on Hohe Straße. We still had two Groupon vouchers for a pulled pork burger with a soft drink and a shake. According to information, the deal has now been canceled in March and can therefore no longer be purchased. The interior design is modern, cozy and inviting. We ordered at the counter and the food was brought to our table, but it is also fully served directly at the table. For the burgers we also chose macaroni from the air fryer with aioli. There is also mac'n cheese as a side dish. There are no fries etc. here. The burgers themselves are juicy, well topped and the pulled pork is really tender. Plus a delicious brioche bun. Absolutely nothing to complain about and very tasty. I thought the noodles from the air fryer were really, really good. Not dry at all and super tasty with the parmesan and herb mix. A great idea and something different than fries. For dessert we chose a Ferrero Rocher and a Giotto shake. Luckily the shakes aren't overly full of frills and are also a reasonable size, because we were actually already full after the burger plus the shared side dish. The shakes are super creamy and taste exactly like the ingredients ordered, plus delicious cream. Perfect. The rest of the menu also reads interestingly with a NY pastrami sandwich and various Phili cheesestake variants. The service staff, despite under-translation, were super friendly and quick. It got really crowded around 7 p.m. and many tables were reserved in advance, so it's definitely worth making a reservation here too. Card payment is also possible. We would definitely like to come back and try out the other sandwiches too.

Many dishes that can be seen online have been removed from the menu. The drinks on the menu were also “sold out”. In addition, a Philly for €14 is too expensive, especially because the taste was rather mediocre. Conclusion: Don't let the pictures on the internet fool you.

Wasn't what we imagined. Doesn't come close to anything else (had the steak and cheese sandwich). The steak was hard to chew and the peppers were too much. But the staff was quick and friendly.

We were sent away at ten past seven when there were 4 occupied tables because everything would be reserved from seven onwards…

Hello, Last night a friend and I had dinner there. I have to honestly say the service was very friendly and accommodating. Since I'm a picky eater, I first asked if you could change or remove anything from the burgers or baguettes. This was also done with the Chili Cheese Burger. Although you don't have much to choose from, there are no fries or rice as a side dish, just noodles that are first boiled and then fried. That wasn't really my thing. It was too oily for my taste. There is a larger selection of desserts. I actually wanted donuts. However, you didn't have any left. Instead, a delicious cake was prepared for me with the topic I wanted. So really recommended and the service was courteous. I can't complain at all. I will go there again to eat there and try more dishes.

Went there today and ate 2 burgers and the Philly cheesesteak twice. The burgers were okay, even if there was a strong smell when eating. We had our problems with the Philly Cheesesteak… It wasn't remotely reminiscent of the original... Unfortunately, the meat was in finger-sized pieces and it was also tough. But I think it was because it was fried for too long, the quality was good but unfortunately it was cut incorrectly so you caught muscle fibers when you bought it. The bread was okay as was the sauce but there was way too much paprika in the bread. In my opinion there is no alternative to BangBang in Cologne and if you want a classic Philly here you are at the wrong address, it is at most a “Philly style sesame baguette with peppers and sauce”... The blonde waitress was super friendly, great service!!!, which unfortunately I can't say about the other lady. The shop has a lot of potential, especially the furnishings are reminiscent of the States, I hope the shop borrows something from the original, then it will be a really cool spot in Dortmund, where there will definitely be people from Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Bochum, Unna etc. will find it!!!

Top shop. Food tastes great and fills you up. We had the Philly Cheese Steak and NY Pastrami. Both were really delicious and the price/performance ratio was right. Service is top notch, very friendly people and the owner is also super nice 👍🏻 As a nightcap there was an espresso on the house. We will be back definitely. It's something that doesn't exist everywhere. Definitely worth recommending.

Philly steaks were really good, pasta fries were a world class idea, service was great.

Super friendly people Service attentive Food was very tasty!! The Surf N Turf Philly was mega Always my pleasure

It was very delicious. Staff super nice and accommodating. Very flexible with the food and the price is also right.

My girlfriend and I spontaneously came across the Knusperz and tried it out after we already knew about it from Instagram. Our expectations were far exceeded! The food is super tasty, very fresh and decent portions. A big compliment goes to the owner: great guy, extremely likeable! He makes you feel very comfortable! 🙌🏼 We will definitely come back and recommend Knusperz to our friends! 🫶🏼

Mac n Cheese Philly is absolutely recommended. Good food and quickly prepared.

We were there for the first time today because we saw a post about it on Instagram. Unfortunately, it will also be the last time. The map has apparently been reduced in size, for example there is no Pinsa anymore. You can still buy vouchers for Pinsa and soft drinks for two people on Groupon. The bread that is normally used for the avocado and feta roasted bread was probably also out, judging by the pictures here. Our roasted bread was in a burger bun… Not all drinks were available either. We were the only guests in the store, and during our visit the music was turned up louder, making it difficult for us to hold a conversation. We preferred to get dessert somewhere else. The service was quite nice. Unfortunately, the owner's comments here under some reviews only make the store less likeable.

Great authentic American food + friendly staff. From the bread to the sauce to the meat, the sandwich is just good!

Super tasty food, great value for money

Great food, great meals, great service. Again and again !

Super tasty sandwich. Best vegan meat I've eaten so far. Very nice people

Where do I even start? One thing you can leave the store is the service is good and very understanding. When we wanted to order as a larger group, we found that we couldn't order most of what was on the menu. We were informed that we were there so late (4 p.m.) and that the store opens at 12 and therefore doesn't have that much in stock. Unfortunately, the taste was only a 7/10 because the noodles we ordered were too spicy and there was too much pepper on them. The drink selection was also limited because there were delivery problems. We passed our opinion on to the service department and they responded very kindly and kindly. Unfortunately for us it was very disappointing and not worth it... What I would also like to see would be larger tables for larger groups and a detailed menu.

Food was good but we waited over 30 minutes for 2 burgers in an empty shop...

Had dinner here with a friend today, even though I had a Groupon voucher, great food, a small, cozy shop with great service. Absolutely to suggest!

Very small selection on the menu You won't find any fries, and unfortunately there's no offer for children either.

Food was great, service and owner were super nice. Definitely coming back

Were on February 24th. for the first time there after we enthusiastically saw all the things on Instagram and Tiktok. When we arrived we were told there was no reservation in our name even though we still had the reservation notification on our cell phone. We were then given a table for 4 + a chair in the aisle for 5 people. When we looked at the map we were extremely disappointed that it was really tiny. When we asked what happened to all the things that were shown online, we were told on site that the things that didn't sell well had been taken out. When asked on Instagram, however, they said that these were only weekly or monthly specials. While we were waiting for the food, the waitress opened the front door to ventilate the room. When we wanted to close it again because it was quite cold, we were told that it had to stay open for a moment because otherwise we would all die of smoke inhalation. I have to say that the food I had wasn't bad, just everything outside was really disappointing. It was probably our last visit

Food was really tasty, well-kept shop, service was great and you could taste the love for it in the Rocher cake 😁

Clear recommendation! Food was super tasty. A lot of it is homemade and you can clearly taste it. Prices are great! In my opinion, some things could even be increased in price, such as the burgers! Service also 1a. Staff was more than friendly & personable. There is a lot of passion in the store.

I was there earlier with my little daughter. Since she couldn't find a dish that she liked, pasta with tomato sauce was made especially for her. My Pinsa [Big Mac] was very tasty, really tasted like a real Big Mac. We found out about the restaurant via Instagram and every dish really looked like the pictures. In the end, my daughter liked the Waffnuts with Kinder Bueno the best. All in all, a very interesting shop and we will definitely have to try more from the menu.

So the roast beef bacon jam burger was the best thing we've eaten in a restaurant in a long time, the prices are really cheap compared to the quality, we were expecting more. The service staff were very friendly. We'll definitely be back!!

I was there today with my friend and the Philly Cheesesteak was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere in the shop was great, there was music appropriate to the time and the service was super nice, we kept asking if everything was okay and the girls even gave us bread with aioli to bridge the waiting time

It's great there, the owner is super friendly, the food is great, you have peace and quiet and the service is quick. I'll definitely come back here a second time

We were in the store for the first time today. The food was a disaster. First of all, do you know what mac n cheese is? Noodle simply baked with tasteless cheese. The Philly cheesesteak, the bread was burnt and in terms of taste it only tasted like the BBQ sauce and the meat was also non-existent. The Roast Beef Bacon Jam Burger If you no longer have BaconJam then you should let the customers know and not just leave it out.... I think the service was very overwhelmed. We first got the burger and sandwich and when we were almost finished, the side dishes came... And finally, my wife had stomach problems the whole evening. Never again...

Food was simply top. Service was very accommodating and friendly, it couldn't be better for me. You feel very comfortable. The only thing I find a bit unfortunate is that there is no detailed description of what each dish contains. I would be happy if the menu were improved a bit in this direction and if the dishes were to briefly list what is included there. Thanks for the great food and we will definitely come back. ❤️

The restaurant is small but appropriately furnished for the food that is served there. The pinsa is large. Well topped but you have to like the dough. The topping was good but the dough didn't meet my expectations - but this is a matter of taste. The preparation took a very long time! However, other dishes are also served such as hamburgers, roasted bread, etc. The service is friendly but also inattentive. The toilet was overlooked with an overfilled paper bucket so that everything was even lying around on the floor - this area is neglected here. Price performance ratio ok.

Unfortunately it's a failure, the pictures on the internet don't correspond to what you get. The Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich only has a third of the meat pictured on it, it's just a pepper sandwich. If you order Mac & Cheese you get noodles that have been baked in the microwave with cheese. The store is also very uncomfortable, you are blinded by bright lights everywhere and there is not even quiet music playing. Since we were the only guests in the store on a Friday evening, we didn't dare talk because of the silence.

Just took Philly Cheese Steak to Go. About 10 minutes home, still warm at home! Meat and everything about it in general is simply divine! The staff is super friendly and the store is cool.

Delicious food, friendly service, colorful atmosphere and reasonable prices.

Wir genossen einen frühen Abend in diesem Lokal, probierten den Hamburger und eine gambal Pinsa. Geschmacklich top! Leider fehlte es an Gemütlichkeit, und das laute Radio trübte etwas die Atmosphäre. Insgesamt eine gute kulinarische Erfahrung, aber Raum für Verbesserungen im Ambiente.

Very tasty, inexpensive, can only be recommended!

Was there with my brother. Really delicious. Pleasant coworkers

It's a shame, I expected more. For me, a small card always means very high quality, but unfortunately that wasn't the case here. The cheese nachos were burnt and had hardly any cheese. The pulled pork burger looked very good, but was very dry :( Well at least the owners/conditions are nice.

Had dinner there for the first time today. Very nice and friendly staff. The Philly cheesesteak was very tasty. I'll stop by there more often now

Pulled beef burger very tasty. Service very friendly, land harmoniously furnished and very clean, especially again

Had dinner there last week. Was super tasty. Quality is right. I also chatted briefly with the shop owner, who seemed very courteous and personable. Prices may be a bit cheaper, but the quality here is really good and things are prepared with love.
