Onkel Johnny’s Strandwirtschaft in Wenningstedt-Braderup (Sylt)

We were there on a very windy day. The view of the sea was magnificent. It was a real cinema. The food is good, but not great for the price range. The service is excellent, very child-friendly and cheerful. The restaurant is rather expensive.

Stars are awarded for the ambiance, the cool setting, the location, and the service. Unfortunately, the food was nothing special. The catch of the day was swimming in grease on the plate, unfortunately tasteless; the bowl was tiny and unfortunately not particularly seasoned. Too bad

The sea view is beautiful. We shared the tapas plate; it was perfectly adequate for two people. 😋

Pure Sylt magic—a wonderful place to recharge with an incomparable view! We thank you for the unique ambiance with super-friendly, attentive staff and the delicious food while enjoying a dream sunset by the sea!

We went there for the first time this year. We really enjoyed it. We'll be back. The service was simply fantastic, as were the food and drinks. Keep up the good work.

We went to Uncle Johnny's for dinner today, like every year! The ambiance is absolutely fantastic, and if you make a reservation early, you might be lucky enough to sit on the terrace... It's better not to go back because of the food! The burgers on the menu after 5 p.m. are just okay and don't really excite the kids. All I can say about my entrecoté is that it was a complete kitchen failure!!! Even on the second attempt, the kitchen only served an embarrassing dish! Very sad... But at least we didn't have to pay for this sloppy mess! I accepted the waiter's apology, but it's not his fault!! I hope the kitchen changes again next year; otherwise, there are plenty of alternatives on Sylt!

A really nice opportunity to enjoy the beach, whether the weather is bad or good!

Everything was there Everything was fine Great fun I'll be back Great atmosphere Friendly service I'll be back DJ - great job with Nils

I highly recommend it. Good food, pleasant atmosphere, and excellent service. Pure holiday feeling.

Highly recommended on warm summer days

We were on our way back from the Üwe Dune and ordered three drinks there: Hot chocolate, Double espresso, and Cappuccino (which unfortunately wasn't hot). I think €16.80 is a lot. Service was friendly.

The hamburgers taste really good. But the speed from ordering to serving takes an incredibly long time – and that has nothing to do with the fact that everything is freshly prepared. A little more organization would do this hamburger place good. And let's talk about the price: 12.50 for a small hamburger is really steep... But everyone has to decide for themselves.

Very tasty food, great ambiance, and a fantastic view of the sea from the terrace. The staff was attentive. You can also get dishes here that you won't find everywhere. We loved it!

We were there at the end of July 2025 and wanted a bite to eat. The daily special was available until 5 p.m. Even though it was 10 to 5 p.m., you couldn't order any of the food anymore. I then ordered grilled zucchini strips (there were 5 of them) in aioli sauce. It cost 18 euros. Two of the 5 zucchini strips were inedible (sour, oxalic acid). I told the waitress, and she just said, "You've almost eaten it all." We didn't want to make any money and just reported it. The only highlight was the super friendly lady at the reception who assigned the tables.

It's a shame...we've been there many times over the past two years and have enjoyed it. Now, unfortunately, we're just disappointed. For our dinner reservation for 10 people, we waited 50 minutes...no drink order; nothing. We really understand the staffing shortage, but drinks would have been nice. Unfortunately, the waiter was completely overwhelmed, and the manager wasn't very understanding. Got a burger today...sorry, but the fries were dark yellow and the burger really wasn't tasty. Bun, meatball, wilted lettuce, and ketchup! The price-performance ratio is unfortunately not good. Such a shame!!!!!! Update 2025: It can always get worse Bistro closes at 5:00 PM, dinner menu without burgers. In the entire three weeks, it hasn't been anywhere near full. Change the concept, and people will thank you with orders. Wonnemeyer has done it so well!

We were there for the first time yesterday. It was wonderful. Very friendly service, a great atmosphere, and delicious food. We'd love to come back. Highly recommended!🤩

We were back at Onkel Jonny's today, eight weeks after our May visit, and were relatively disappointed with the food. Our favorite burger, in the new design, was disappointing after many years of good quality, as were the currywurst and French fries. Was the sauce still homemade? The fries, contrary to expectations, were also quite poor. A new kitchen team 🤔? What a shame, because we were so looking forward to this treat. Hopefully, it will be back; we'll try again in November...

Great location, great food - don't miss it on Sylt!!!

We were just there for a drink, great view!

Nice stop right on the beach, pleasantly relaxed in the winter months, beautiful terrace overlooking the sea in the summer

Friendly staff, nice ambience and a fantastic view

Great restaurant right on the beach, delicious burgers and other dishes with great hospitality. Highly recommended.

We recently ate here with the family. Upon entering, we were greeted by an extremely rude waitress. Unfortunately, the service remained poor throughout our stay. Arrogance and rude replies were the only things we received. The food was also completely useless, inedible, and expensive! You must avoid this place!!!!!

Very nice with friendly people and service.

Uncle Johnny's is a little difficult to reach. I find the access via the campsite and the dunes difficult. The food prices are too high, typical for Sylt. Drink prices are OK, and the service is good. A nice place to relax!

Unfriendly, arrogant service in the restaurant. The kiosk is completely understaffed during peak season. Long wait times, and then the fries are far too greasy and expensive. (Thrown in the fryer twice)

After a long walk along the beach from Wenningstedt to Kampen and back, this is the perfect place to stop, relax, and fill your stomach. I love eating the super delicious currywurst here with a cold beer. I highly recommend this place and would love to come back!

Mega burgers and spicy scampi! On the way from Kampen to Wenningstedt, you pass by Uncle Jonny's just before the end of your walk—or rather, you don't pass by because the food there is very good. The burger with fries and the spicy scampi were amazing. Piotreck, our charming waiter, looked after us very well. There are also blankets for the dogs to lie on. We'd love to come back. Why only four stars? Only as we were leaving did I discover two rat bait traps under the bench we were sitting on. Of course, as the dog's owner, I should have checked the place where it lay, but unfortunately, I didn't. Especially when the dog is lying under the bench and out of sight, you get a bad feeling when you leave the restaurant. I think this should be solved differently, even though I understand that something needs to be done about the rodents on the beach. Even if the bait is in the usual protective boxes... a Labby will certainly find ways to do it - after all, the restaurant is located right on the dog beach.

Food slightly above average, atmosphere great!

Great location The service is super nice We'll definitely come back :)

I would definitely recommend eating here. We had homemade fish and chips and rice pudding for our daughter, which was so big and delicious that we had it as dessert.

Unfortunately, my visit to this restaurant was overall very disappointing. Upon arrival, I noticed that the staff didn't seem particularly attentive or motivated—despite the fact that there were only a few customers and the restaurant seemed rather quiet. Nevertheless, it took an unusually long time for us to receive our drinks. The latte macchiato we ordered sat unattended on the kitchen counter for over five minutes before finally being brought to our table, lukewarm. The cappuccino was mostly foam and contained hardly any coffee—but still tasted okay. The cake didn't seem fresh either, but rather like a thawed convenience store product. What was particularly irritating was that you could see into the open kitchen, where the chefs were eating while the food was still being served. This didn't exactly give a professional or hygienic impression. In this context, the condition of the restrooms is also negative—they weren't particularly clean, which further worsened the already poor overall impression. In light of these experiences, the prices were absolutely unjustified. For this quality, service, and ambiance, the prices charged are significantly too high. Overall, it wasn't a successful visit – I would definitely not visit this restaurant again and unfortunately cannot recommend it to anyone.

Good food and wonderful atmosphere

It's really nice here, with a great view of the North Sea and delicious food. Prices are reasonable for Sylt, and the service is really attentive!

We had the currywurst and fish & chips. We would order both dishes again. The restaurant has a maritime decor, and the view of the North Sea is simply beautiful. We would come back. Unfortunately, we had no reception on site, and there was no guest Wi-Fi.

Hello Andreas. I'm very sorry for having given the wrong liter quantity and price. I apologize for that. Your answer is correct. I will delete my review if possible. Best regards, ULLI

The food, in this case the entrecôte, was okay, but not a highlight. At our table, everything was eaten down to the last crumb, and we all felt like we'd had a bit less on our plates. The dish itself would have been ideal if it had been a little short on carbohydrates. The service was friendly, but not overly attentive. We'd still be happy to come back and try other dishes on the menu.

The service staff cannot be identified by their clothing. The service staff are very unfriendly. The service staff do not pay attention to hygiene. Ice cubes are offered from the container at the neighboring table, which the guest was just rummaging through with their hands. If you refuse, the server rolls their eyes. Other waiters walk past the table three or four times without asking if you want anything. The signage for the path through the campsite is very poor and barely visible.

Very friendly staff, great location right on the water/beach.

Our staff consisted of two gentlemen, and they were super nice, attentive, and simply fantastic. The ambiance is fantastic, and we got a really nice table with our dog. Unfortunately, I have to deduct a star. My mother-in-law and I were looking forward to the herring, traditionally cooked. A disaster! The herring was great, but the "traditional" sauce was a complete mess of mayonnaise. Normally, you get a light yogurt sauce, whatever, but a light, creamy sauce. But here we only had plain mayonnaise. Absolutely terrible with the herring. That definitely needs improvement. The portion was absolutely sufficient, and my husband's fish and chips were excellent and also satisfying. So please try a different sauce with the herring, and you'll get 5* next time.

Rude female waitresses. Only a small evening menu. No flexibility in meal combinations.

Great food in a great location!

A beach bar in a great, secluded location with spectacular sea views. Therefore, they charge restaurant prices, which can certainly be worthwhile. However, they overcharged for the kids' fish and chips. For €17.50, they served 3 (!) medium-sized pieces of battered cod, and the rest were fries. No dips, no garnish. A heartless disgrace for this price. 5 stars, however, for the friendly service.

Delicious steak at a fair price in a breathtaking setting!

First of all, this isn't a restaurant in the true sense of the word, but rather a beach bar. If you've read and understood that correctly, you'll have better expectations of the food on offer. It's mostly frozen food, and you can tell. The staff is very attentive and friendly, but the price is clearly excessive for what's on offer, likely due to the property's spectacular location. However, since my focus on food is different, I wouldn't recommend it. The very loud music was also annoying.

We had to cut short our visit there today because of unfriendly staff.

A very nice restaurant! Delicious food and a great view. 😊👍🏼

We were at Onkel Jonny today, which doesn't really deserve a star. The food was carelessly slapped onto the plate, and the ginger tea was mediocre. The service was unfriendly. I don't understand people like that. If they're not interested in their job, they should be sorting fruit and vegetables at Rewe, etc. I would understand if the customer was unfriendly, but even then, they should pull themselves together. We were friendly. The view is, of course, very nice, right on the beach. For me, it's definitely not my first choice on the island; there are much better options, especially for the price.

This restaurant is beautifully located right on the beach. The service is friendly, but the food isn't worth the price. While they use fresh produce, they lack refinement. It's a real shame for such a lovely restaurant.

Very, very tasty and very attentive service. The location speaks for itself. Great ambiance. You can sit inside or outside...All in all, top-notch!

Very nice walk on the red cliff

Great view of the sunset, not crowded and very tasty food

Great view! That alone is worth a visit. The staff are very friendly, but I didn't like the food at all. The fries that came with it were absolutely terrible, and I wasn't the only one who liked them...

Fantastic location directly on the dunes with views over the beach to the sea

Very friendly staff. Beautiful beach restaurant with a unique view.

Nice atmosphere, but terrible coffee; better not to offer espresso if the machine can't handle it.

During my stay on Sylt, I ate at Onkel Johnny's twice in the evening. Both times, the food was delicious and the portions were generous. The service was attentive and very friendly. The location right on the beach is incredibly beautiful. I'll be back when I'm on Sylt again.

Grosser Alster and super delicious goat cheese on a salad garnish in the sun with a view of the beach and at reasonable prices for Sylt – what more could you want?

We felt absolutely at home at Onkel Johnny's. The atmosphere is harmonious, the food is super delicious – whether it's currywurst, herring, or fillet steak – and the hosts are attentive, accommodating, and genuinely friendly. For us, there is no more honest, better location on Wenningstedt Beach. Please keep up the good work and don't lose it (like others unfortunately do).

We came here twice in one day: a quick break in the morning and a small snack in the afternoon. Super friendly and delicious, with exceptional service. We celebrated Bettina's birthday here and enjoyed the dune hike – with Uwe Düne and back along the beach.

Especially when the weather's nice, you can at least sit outside and enjoy the view of the sea. The food is delicious and the service is friendly. The only downside is that you have to walk a bit to get there.

A piece of happiness! Located right on the beach, but a little away from the hustle and bustle. That's why warm food is only available between 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. in the winter months. Open all year round! Delicious food, super nice service, unique ambience. And dogs are also taken care of! You can return to civilization at night via the illuminated path to the campsite or simply along the waterfront! Your eyes adjust to the darkness and the lights of Wenningstedt guide you back.

You can do it, but Uncle Johnny can't even begin to keep up with the former institution, Wonnemeyer. Only the beautiful location remains...

Very nice, relaxed beach restaurant. Great location, nice people and good food. We had a lovely day and will be back

Favorite place on the island. We will definitely come back

We were absolutely thrilled! Super delicious food – great fresh cocktails offered as an aperitif. The atmosphere is cozy and stylish, you immediately feel at home. Outside, typical Sylt in wind and weather. The service was warm and attentive, especially the children were looked after with drawing materials and nice sayings. The pirate ship in the sand is of course also a great way to pass the time while we had a drink. You can tell that people work here with passion. A clear recommendation – we will definitely be back and have already made a reservation!

Very nice beach bar with nice staff. Food and drinks are appropriate for a beach bar.

Always happy, a visit to Sylt is a must stop at Johnny's beach bar. Today we had delicious beach spritz (passion fruit with secco) and potato pancakes with salmon. Plenty of salmon with a delicious side salad rounded off the generous main course. The service is very nice, attentive and accommodating. I'm looking forward to the next visit.

...Friends from H and HH are always welcome at Desche, as always it was great with YOU...!

Very nice atmosphere, good food, great team. We were even there on two evenings. Clear recommendation.

We had reserved a table for the evening on Easter Sunday. But unfortunately the service pointed out to us that the following things were out...among others. Duroc chop, lamb shank, roast beef and hamburger etc. are only available on the daily menu. What kind of planning is that, unfortunately there wasn't much left, especially if you don't like fish. We were completely disappointed and will not visit the restaurant again. That was different last year. Thank God there are other places.

Thank you dear Uncle Johnny’s! For the sensational food, the warm service that fulfills every wish with a smile and the dance vibes that are burned into our memories! 😘 Desche, thank you for the table, right in the middle and with a view of the sea. Your four-legged friends are also full-fledged guests with you! We'll be back!

Great restaurant in a prime location. Would love to come back

Typical beach restaurant prices, service and quality but very good with great views and location.

Very nice restaurant located right on the water. Wonderful views and good air, with delicious food. 🫶

Great stop today at the “OJ” with a fantastic view of the sea

Here you can simply feel good. TOP

Just great to take a break. Great team and delicious food.

The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back.

Great view and ambience! Owner is very friendly

Such a great bistro right on the beach Great view, great ambience, very nice and helpful service. Food and drinks were also great. Highly recommended

A good menu, from soup to potato pancakes with salmon and burgers to fish dishes. The rice pudding seems to be very popular with guests ;-) I had a burger with fries, and both were delicious and made a generous portion. A great restaurant for watching the sunset, but also recommended any time of day. A reservation might be a good idea in the evening, as the restaurant is quite busy. I felt very comfortable thanks to the maritime ambiance and the friendly, attentive service. Found a new favorite place...

A dream place right on the beach and the best view of the North Sea. The waiters are top notch and always happy to help... laughed a lot :)))

It was a very good idea for us to stop at Uncle Johnny's! Good wine recommendation from the seavice staff! Will definitely come back there on our next visit.

Like every year, after a long walk on the beach, we ate delicious fish and chips and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere there.

Very nicely decorated, quite comfortable seating and a somewhat tight but nice outdoor area with a great sea view. I can't say anything about the food, as we only had drinks, but what was brought past looked good, but was actually just an upscale form of fast food. Drinks were good, but also very expensive. The service was friendly but quite disorganized and seemed quite disoriented. So it's a nice location for a nice drink, but I wouldn't go there directly.

Cool view of the North Sea with a great currywurst ;-)

Super friendly, mostly very relaxed

Delicious mulled wine and fine currywurst

A really great restaurant! From start to finish we felt comfortable here. Very careful and super friendly without making you think it's too much. Service and food were very good for us. Ambiance is cozy. We'd love to come back

Totally beautiful maritime location. Furnished with great attention to detail, without appearing kitschy in the least.

Thu. d. 4.7.24/3:00 p.m.: The former Wonnemeyers has now developed into a veritable beach restaurant. You either sit outside in the wind and weather or inside behind large windows. In any case, there is a view of the North Sea. The rustic-martime interior fits perfectly with the surroundings. The place was a little emptier than usual, probably because of the time of day. This meant the service was able to take care of us quickly and professionally. The Tataki from the U.S. The beef (€22) and the potato pancakes with salmon (€19) were nicely presented and tasted very good from the first to the last bite. 12/28/24/1:30 p.m.: Very well attended between the years. We are quickly maneuvered to a table that is already occupied. Two Sarti Rosa Spritz (€9) are quickly ordered - fruity, sparkling and refreshing. Since our table neighbors are leaving, the giant table is more suitable for a newly arrived group of seven people. We are happy to comply with the lively service and sit down at a workbench with another couple. No problem at all. The relaxed beach kiosk atmosphere makes it possible. But moving around also makes you hungry. The fish & chips (€24) are nice and hot and crispy. The cauliflower soup (€13.5) is nice and creamy, well seasoned and warms you up well. So, Uncle Johnny's has done really well and can be seen as a suitable successor to Wonnemeyer's beach kiosk. Hopefully the North Sea will allow the pile building to stand for a long time.

Super nice place with nice service. Unfortunately we were served a run-of-the-mill frozen apple strudel. I really expect something different in a restaurant

It was our first time there and the service was perfect and left nothing to be desired

Really great shop, very cozy, super nice people who work there, great location!

This beautiful wooden building is right next to the nudist with beach chair rental. There is a restaurant in the house and you can look out to the sea from the terrace. The wind from the North Sea and the long waves make the West Beach atmosphere a hotspot for kite surfers.

Everything is very beautiful and with a wonderful view of the North Sea

Uncle Johnny's is located directly on the beach between Wenningstedt and Kampen. Comfortably furnished and with changing daily specials plus a regular menu with beach classics. Nice wine list. At peak times it can be really busy. Desche Behrens, one of the owners, also runs around the store happily and full of enthusiasm. Class! I'm always happy to come by for a glass of wine or a snack in the afternoon.

It was very warm, tasty and we feel the need to repeat it. Recommended by the parents who come here every summer, it was brilliant in the winter too!

I can only recommend it. No negative impressions.
