Pfefferkorn NY Steakhouse in Dortmund

Food was good, had a chilli cheese burger and a baked potato. Very nice restaurant to eat with your parents. 👍🏽

Unfortunately the food wasn't that good, the schnitzel tasted like old fat, some of the fries were still raw, the salad had no taste, and the steak was extremely salty. The mood in the kitchen was heard loud and clear to the detriment of the guests.

Great location, nice atmosphere and good food.

Very unfriendly staff. Unfriendly to children

We ordered the Jägerschnitzel with fries. The side salad was tasty, but the schnitzels were soaked in fat, 1 of 2 were not cooked through. Unfortunately, the sauces are completely watery and therefore not edible in terms of taste. When we asked, we told the waitress this. She wanted to pass it on to the kitchen. The only result was a bill for the full amount without any comment or a disparaging look. I won't see us here again. Too bad

Very child-friendly, food was good 👍

It was good all around! Thank you!

Very excellent meat, nice location, and perfect service

Extremely tasty, a mega burger, great atmosphere right by the lake and a very funny and nice service person. Highly recommended if you want to spend around 25 euros on a burger.

Went there for dinner last night, the waiter came and took the drinks straight away. When they arrived he immediately took the order. My sister had ordered a steak, I had ordered a vegan burger, my niece and my husband had ordered a Ratsherren Schnitzel. The steak was still raw from the inside and bloody, it should have been medium rare. The two councilors' schnitzels were made from molded meat and my fries tasted like old fat. It's a shame, I thought it was a nice restaurant and won't eat there again.

Super tasty burgers, generous portions. Gladly again

The service reacted extremely unfriendly to special requests that could only be fulfilled after repeated requests. Price-performance for a schnitzel is far from being right.

Super friendly service, high product quality, nice selection of food and drinks, top location, prices adapted to the high quality, excellent sanitary facilities and a nice atmosphere. Next time Phönix See = Steakhouse Pfefferkorn again :-)

Price performance is not right at all.....

Food is OK, but nothing more than that. We expected more in terms of portions. The drinks (non-alcoholic) were not cold enough. The service is attentive and friendly.

For a steak plate for 45.90 I expect something different, only the baked potato was swapped for sweet potato fries

We wanted to stop at Pfefferkorn in the early afternoon as part of a Sunday excursion with our infant and have lunch. Of course, we walked around Lake Phoenix beforehand and grabbed a spritzer and a beer from the Bergmann-Bier booth. Both drinks were half empty when a very friendly service person seated us at a table where we could easily park our stroller. Great, not everyone has something like that in mind 👍 The service person who wanted to take our order immediately pointed out that our drinks were almost empty and that this was not allowed. We replied in a friendly manner that we would of course immediately order drinks here as well as food and drink up as quickly as possible. That wasn't an option for the waitress and when she repeated the ban, we asked if they didn't want our money, which apparently was the case. We then left the restaurant and had a delicious lunch somewhere else. An understanding gesture, a kind word and a little flexibility from the service staff would certainly have resulted in us ordering our meal at Pfefferkorn. Maybe another time

Das Patty des Burgers war besseres Pressfleisch (richtiges Mett sieht viiiel besser aus), der Rest hat soweit gepasst, sofern auf eine Creme Brulet eine Ananasscheibe gehört... Ergebnis: Viel Geld für durchschnittliches Essen und durchschnittlichen Service (wo guckt der hin, wenn er mit mir redet???) Die haben nix dazugelernt, leider.. Und trotzdem rennen alle hin wie blöd...

Simply class. Nothing to add 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Stopped by spontaneously, there were still plenty of seats available outside, so we sat down and ordered. Drinks and food came quickly - simply delicious 😋 and great portions. You may complain about the prices (everything is getting more expensive), but there was really something on the plate!!! My companion had a cheeseburger (280g of meat) with a side of fries and I had a thick Ratsherrenschnitzel with grilled vegetables and potato wedges. In the end, with 4 drinks, we had a total bill of just under €65.

The food was very tasty. There was hardly anything wrong with it. Only the medium was ordered and it was delivered rare. It's a shame for the price... We also went a long time without any new drinks. Drinks were also forgotten but were still paid for. The cleanliness of the toilets left a lot to be desired. Paper in the urinals, on the floor, etc.

Good but not very good steak - you pay for the location (price performance is not right).

Located directly on Lake Phönix, the steakhouse offers many delicacies, served by friendly and attentive service. Great atmosphere and definitely recommended!

Top location.. great service.. nice staff .. nice ambience... Very nice food option...

Everything is fine, but for the prices quoted you can expect a little more!!! Recommended: yes, still only 4 out of 5 stars

I got the best crème brûlée I've ever tasted there. Friendly staff and the tenderloin steak was also very good.

The good food rounded off a successful day. Very attentive waiters, highly recommended.

Trendy steak restaurant with a beautiful location on Lake Phoenix. Great steak dishes, but unfortunately not always on point. What should be highlighted is the attentive and friendly staff.

Delicious food in a beautiful atmosphere with friendly service, what could be better :)

We were lucky and had a table outside to enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery. We were surprised that the appetizer is big in size with generous amount of bread (was shared by 3 and was more than enough) we ordered the roast beef steak twice which was relatively good as we asked for medium well but was mostly well done. Another ribeye steak was ordered and was better and juicier. Friendly service, overall a good experience.

good and friendly service, burgers and food were way too expensive and the meat was not medium as ordered but well done

Een van de beste steaks die ik at ooit!Gewoon wauw!Vriendelijke bediening ook.Zeker aan te raden.Heb genoten van de eerste tot de laatste minuut.

Never again. Excessively expensive. 15 minutes. Waited until we could pay. Then at the end. RE €87. 90 Given... Please wait for your change. Never again

Schnitzel and burgers were very good. Friendly staff.

The food was okay, I found the staff to be very nice and quick. Unfortunately, my steak was very stringy and the sweet potato fries were a bit soggy. You can eat it, but you don't have to.

We've been there several times eat and were never disappointed. This time we had from the Calf liver daily menu. Taste and price 5* Always my pleasure. 😎😎

It was nice there, I will go there again. But only if I have money left over. Food was good, prices were high.

The food is very tasty, unfortunately the staff doesn't get around to taking the order, so it takes a little longer

Hello Germany and the rest of the world 🇩🇪. Spent a very nice day, the food and drinks were very good, and the staff is very friendly and always happy to help 👍🍀

A nice place to eat, but a little expensive

I had the butchers cut. The meat was very good and the side dishes (sweet potato fries) were delicious. Service was good, the ambience is good.

A slightly higher price range, but it was worth it. Good selection, great service and delicious food. The harbor promenade at Lake Phönix is ​​really recommended. We'll be back☺️

Great atmosphere right on Lake Phoenix, very friendly service and the food tastes great too.

The food was okay, but nothing more. The service tried hard, but was very stressed and didn't really know much about the food or ingredients. Especially in a group in which vegans are also rather unfavorable. And in 2024 I will expect a service employee to know the difference between vegetarian and vegan and to be able to make a corresponding statement. If not, at least offer to inquire. In addition, the portions are rather manageable, but that is always a matter of opinion.

The food was great and the atmosphere was great

Very nice restaurant with good cuisine and very, very attentive and nice staff. Always recommended.

Update June 2024: Unfortunately, food-wise has deteriorated Beautiful place located directly on Lake Phönix. Friendly and above all fast and very attentive staff. The food is top, prepared with great attention to detail and beautifully presented. The “cheaper” lunch option is recommended. Here you can get a delicious meal during the week for sometimes less than €7. Reservation required at peak times if the weather is particularly good on the weekend. Barrier-free and also suitable for wheelchair users.

Steak good and tasty, tomato soup good. Unfortunately, the fries were limp, the veggie burger was completely carelessly prepared, the bruscetta bread wasn't toasted, the modified side dishes weren't served, the non-alcoholic shandy tasted extremely sweet and like sweetener (even after it was extended again with a non-alcoholic beer, it wasn't drinkable) Staff nice, but not attentive, expensive It's a shame - we've had a really good meal there. Maybe it wasn't a good day today

Overall good 👍 Service very good. Food was better but ok.

Delicious food, but only served lukewarm. The waitress C. Dabrowski is extremely attentive and friendly. Her blonde colleague could learn a lot from her. He screws up his face and gives you the feeling of not being welcome: he doesn't look at you, he hardly speaks. When I asked him to serve the water with lemon, he simply waved me off instead of telling me in one sentence that lemon was already included. I was glad he just took our drink order. I like to eat the fried salmon fillet here. Very tasty, especially with the sage butter (of which I wish there was a little more). Only the potatoes taste a bit bland, as if they were old. And unfortunately the service is always very slow - regardless of whether it is full or not.

The steak house makes a great visual impression with a beautiful view of the lake. The service is friendly, albeit with fake friendliness and fast. However, the tables and chairs are very close together. The waiters often walk past you quickly, which is very annoying while you're eating.

Beautiful restaurant on Lake Phönix with great food. We chose the fillet steak and really enjoyed it. Everyone at the table was very happy with their selection. Service was nice and on point even with large groups.

Unfortunately there seems to be too few staff. Very long waiting time. Waiters sometimes have to be found and asked to come to the table. The food was actually solid, but for the very high price I would have expected a better experience. At 2/3 of the price the food could have been given four stars.

Delicious food, nice staff, we would love to come back

We dined there with 3 people and didn't have the 500g fillets, but we spent 100EUR. No champagne either ;-) My Texan steak was a disaster because it was completely stringy, the pepper sauce didn't taste like anything, the yellow broth was supposed to be Bernaise sauce - it didn't taste like anything either. The grilled tomato tasted like vomit (disgusting cheese). The burger was good, the potato wedges were good too. The veg. Dish was also good. The additional Champi. were good too. Service: he came rushing up from behind with the first dishes and just said be careful...Hello, I don't have any eyes at the back. You can also discreetly announce the delivery in advance. ## Conclusion: Despite a subsequent complaint, everything was of course fully charged. We have enjoyed SIGNIFICANTLY better meat and dishes at a better price/performance ratio.

+ friendly, courteous staff + cozy, upscale atmosphere + Radiant heater available outside + fair prices

Very pleasant there. The location is simply great and the food was delicious.

Upscale gastronomy that is very good. Friendly staff, quick service. Gladly again

Very good food, but unfortunately also very expensive now...

Excellent steak restaurant, with both Argentinian and Black Angus beef. Beautifully located at the harbor of Lake Phoenix, that also helps.

Located on Lake Phönix, it's already fantastically beautiful, great ambience, great service that also knows how to have fun. The food was great. I've never had a steak like this before, was on a birthday party but will definitely come here again on a personal basis

5 out of 5 stars!!! The best steakhouse!!!

Highly recommended, always happy!

We stayed here on our 1st anniversary and went back 6 years later. It was again super tasty and everyone was very friendly and accommodating! Gladly again

Dortmund's best steak restaurant. A visit is always worthwhile. Recommended Hanging Tender!

The lamest restaurant I have ever visited, 15 minutes until you are served, 40 minutes after ordering the food is still not there. The restaurant is an imposition - never again.

We had dinner at Pfefferkorn on May 5, 2024. We each ate steaks (US Prime) and an Argentinian steak, each with side dishes. The quality of the meat was very good and the plates were a little warmed up. All three dishes were only lukewarm. Also like the side dishes. We complained about this to service. Our complaint was “noted” by service. Based on the behavior of the operator, it cannot be assumed that there was an interest in passing on the information. We ordered a white wine Lugana with our meal. The glasses were poured far too full. Our conclusion is that the service does not do justice to the price level. That's how we see it when it comes to food. There will be no further visit to the Pfefferkorn. Anyone who calls for this price level must also deliver quality. Unfortunately that is not the case.

Very fun and attentive service. Nice location right on the lakeshore

The meat was tasty, the surrounding area is pleasant. Good beer.

Super tasty in an elegant atmosphere

Good food in an exclusive location

very unfriendly staff. No one asked if everything was OK. No hello or goodbye. You call him 5 times and he doesn't come, we were ignored. We were spoken to very rudely. We will definitely never go here again!!!

The waiters and service were good. The food was very disappointing. Ordering a Wiener Schnitzel comes with the expectation to look like one. It should not look like just a slab of meat with barely any coating and just fried in a pan. The cook managed to half burn it too. An absolute fail. Certainly not a recommendation.

Schnitzel not well cooked (pork), no taste Price performance not given. Waitresses are rude and not interested in listening. Portions too small and carelessly prepared. Sauce Bernaise is the same as curry sauce. Never again!

The classic burger was not good. The meat was like molded meat (also had an unnatural shape) it was of inferior quality. Price performance doesn't fit here. The service was very good.

Children's and adult schnitzel is identical. Price performance is not right at all. You could count the fries on three hands... really a joke for the price

The food was okay, but unfortunately not justified in terms of price-performance ratio. The service was okay, but given the prevailing prices I would have expected better service and/or, above all, a much greater taste experience. I've eaten much better on the Lake Constance promenade for the same money. Too bad... Can be expanded

Great steakhouse with a cozy atmosphere. Service was great We enjoyed the food. I can recommend the restaurant 👍🏽

Yesterday I ordered a simple Classic Bueger, the taste was really delicious, but 1/4 of the meat was RAW. The waiter tried to convince me that he was "medium". My colleagues present also said that the minced meat is clearly raw. The waiter disappeared with my raw meat and into the kitchen and that was that for him. No feedback, no apology, nothing. Actually, I was simply ignored for the rest of the evening. When I ordered a cocktail, it wasn't tasty. Someone went crazy with lime. Caipirinha works differently. I then diluted it with water to make it more edible. Price-performance for this “quality” absolutely doesn’t fit. You really only pay for the location. When paying I asked for my meat; the waiter agreed with me that you could see from the kitchen light that the meat was raw. Still no apology, no discount...nothing. I definitely won't eat or drink there again. Mistakes can happen, but at least an apology would be pure politeness, which was unfortunately missing.

Best steak in town. As a group we had a large selection of variants and they were all great.

Very nice and courteous staff, food hot and delicious.

We were there for about half an hour without anyone coming to us, I said many times that we would like to order, but they don't want to hear from us. That's too bad. I don't want to come there anymore

Absolutely incompetent service and the manager, I wanted to invite my friends for a meal and unfortunately I have a beer in my hand that I bought somewhere else. I wanted to invite my family and friends to the table, finish my beer and continue to the restaurant to order food and buy drinks. I was immediately expelled from the premises. After I asked what the problem was, the restaurant manager said that I was behaving aggressively and had to leave. I live in Dortmund myself and am in the area very often, but after such behavior I will no longer recommend this restaurant to my friends. Unfortunately, this restaurant has shown me nothing but incompetent service several times. I'm sorry, but you can't tolerate accepting such incompetent service.

My Classic Buger was super tasty 😋 and there was also ice cream for the children 🍨. The decor is very nice and the volume was quite normal.

We arrived today and wanted to have a coffee. When we weren't served after 15 minutes, I went to a waiter and asked if we could be served. It turned out that we would be sitting in the cordoned off area. The waitress apologized that the closure was not made clear anywhere. She then said that we should please move around and that a waiter would come straight away to serve us. When we complied, nothing happened for another 10 minutes. When I called the attention of 2 other waiters one more time, the first one told me it wasn't his job and was very rude to me and when I asked further questions I was ignored and the waiter just moved on. The second one, however, said that we shouldn't complain, that it was only 20 minutes and that he had to work and when I continued to complain and said that this behavior wasn't acceptable, he replied that he didn't want to serve us. I have never experienced such rude and unprofessional behavior before.

Food ok, price level, service could have been better and friendlier. We were only second choice. Plates were left on the table for a long time after dinner.

Very, very friendly service, despite full tables 👍, steak, burgers and salad very tasty. Price/performance is right including the Phoenix Lake ambience

Far too expensive for what ends up on the plate. The service was also so-so. I used to eat better in Pfefferkorn restaurants, they were 5 stars???

We were there for lunch. Good selection fair price for a restaurant.

The view of Lake Phoenix is ​​great and the atmosphere is pleasant. The staff is friendly and the food is quite tasty. Anyone who is very hungry will be a little disappointed (except for the steaks) as the portions are sometimes smaller than in similar restaurants. However, you can easily order additional supplements for an additional charge. But it's all really upper class expensive... you also pay for the view.

The prices here are based more on the location than on the service and food. 18€ for a really small schnitzel and a few fries is really a lot. Carelessly arranged plate with a 7x7cm lettuce leaf. The service was busy, but wasn't as friendly as I would expect. We wouldn't come back again.

Well-equipped restaurant, very large rooms. Lunch has been fairly inexpensive for some time now, portions are sufficient and taste good. Fast service, but also quickly overloaded. Parking lot is full at peak times and subject to charges, but is rarely checked. Tip: The neighboring “Solo” serves similarly good food, but is cheaper.

Very friendly staff and delicious food. Beautifully located on Lake Phönix with lots of tables outside. Certainly a very nice alternative in warmer temperatures.

Very good steak and very nice, attentive and child-friendly service. Special requests were taken into account, the vegetarian food was good, but could still be improved. Still a thoroughly recommended restaurant!

Large restaurant that sometimes seems a bit old-fashioned and where you should definitely not eat burgers.

We were spontaneously there on a Sunday evening with 3 people and got a nice window seat. Our waitress, Ms. Dabrowski, was extremely friendly and accommodating despite the full house. The food was also great. We had the cheeseburger and the meat was fresh, very seasoned and a decent piece at 280g. The fries also tasted good and even the Béarnaise sauce was homemade. I'm thrilled, would love to come back

Good food, good service, pleasant atmosphere.

Great restaurant, nicely decorated, excellent food and good friendly service! We will be back

Stopped there in the summer last year. Then more often. Service and food very good. Our number 1 in the place 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

A very great restaurant and really recommended. We spent the evening there with our family and the dishes were very tasty. We were particularly impressed by the service. He is very polite and courteous and was very responsive to our wishes regarding seating and dishes. We will definitely come back and thank you! :)
