Pfefferkorn NY Steakhouse in Dortmund

Here you can eat or drink comfortably either in front of or inside the restaurant. Cozy restaurant right on the Phönixsee. Extensive menu/drinks menu. Very tasty dishes Upscale restaurant

We liked the service and atmosphere, the dishes were satisfactory for all of us but not warm enough and some of them weren't visually appealing. In my opinion, spray cream does not belong in this restaurant category.

I was just there. I was wondering why there were so many empty seats at the overcrowded lake. 10 minutes later I knew. I waited for minutes for the waiter who apparently managed to serve two tables with people who arrived after me, but he didn't manage to ask me if I wanted something too, despite walking past my table twice. Well, that's a shame. Since the selection at the lake is large enough, I won't go to Pfefferkorn again. Thanks for nothing

Stylishly furnished restaurant with an excellent location on Lake Phoenix. The staff is experienced and very pleasant. Every week there is a new lunch menu with delicious and inexpensive dishes. The selection of steak dishes and burgers is varied. What should be highlighted is the spacious outdoor area on Lake Phoenix.

Very good quality and nice service! We were very satisfied and use the restaurant both for business meals and privately

Waiters are unfriendly and listlessly serve the food. 3 salt mills filled with no salt. Food wasn't good either. Price-performance absolute flop!

Basically, we started with good service. But a single service person quickly ruined it with a flippant and very rude manner. The food, I had a crust, was unfortunately cold including the mushrooms on it... This was newly prepared and the taste wasn't really any better than before. The Berneis sauce tasted like all sorts of things, but not like Bernese sauce. We were greeted in a friendly manner, but for this price-performance ratio it was simply too bad. In a chip shop I would have given at least one more star here.

Totally unfriendly. We had to wait 15 minutes for someone to come and give us the bill... There were two of us and we wanted to pay together. The waiter made this statement: “Oh yes, €17 is so much” and that was ironic!!!!!! In the end we had to pay €34.16, we paid with two 20 notes and got 5.50 back, the same waiter then said that we could do without the 16 cents... Just totally unfriendly and rude NEVER AGAIN

Unfortunately not suitable for celiac disease!!! I called beforehand and was confirmed that there was even an allergen card and that they were familiar with it (it says so on the website). Unfortunately, things were completely different on site, there was no allergen card or it couldn't be found. The waiter couldn't tell us what exactly contained gluten because the chef wasn't there. He then brought my daughter a burger (without bread) and said it was 100% gluten-free... I don't know whether that was the case. Actually, we should have left immediately, but I only noticed afterwards that he didn't know his way around at all. When I wanted to ask someone else from the waitress (about the mayo), he said that he was responsible for us... I didn't get upset at all about the forgotten appetizers and the drinks that were only brought after dinner... only to then, as an apology, bring my daughter a fruit ice cream mix (I specifically said only fruit ice cream) with some biscuit pieces, was the crowning achievement... the next day she couldn't go to school because of a stomach ache

Delicious food, lunch specials are great in terms of price and the portions are sufficient. Nice waiters. Beautiful view of Phoenix Lake.

The food was really tastefully prepared and very tasty, a visit in the summer would definitely be nice. 👍

Steak from the pasture, service from the assembly line The food is really excellent and the staff does a good job. There is laughter, you get good recommendations and everything is handled professionally. It's just a shame that the guest is the pig who is driven through the village. We had just sipped our aperitif when we were asked about our menu choices. We said several times that we have time and don't know exactly yet. The conversation was polite and charming, but firm, so directed that we ordered straight away. Attentive service is good! And the food too. Still, it would be nice as a guest not to feel like you're being pushed through the menu on a conveyor belt so that things can be cleared away quickly. The eager waiter then disappeared into the evening without a greeting after we had accepted all the recommendations and of course paid. Unfortunately, this made the experience very impersonal. We probably would have ordered another glass or two if it wasn't for that assembly line feeling. In the end my husband asked for a match/lighter and was told "we don't have it". Funny that there were candles burning on the tables! That doesn't work at all.

Very tasty food, even at lunch. There is very good food at lunchtime here at fair prices.

The last steak was mixed and today's burger was a disaster. The patty tasted cheap and the fries were undercooked on the inside.

Very good service and excellent meals! Parking a bit iffy, but you can walk if necessary. Nice lake location!

Horrible service, I asked to pay and had to wait for 15 minutes, then i went inside and the waitress screamed at me for asking for the bill. She really screamed because she is under stress i guess.

I can only recommend the staff are great and it's very calming to sit there and let your soul linger there alone or even with friends

For me the steakhouse in Dortmund. 1st place and point.

Unreserved recommendation. Great food, great service, neat toilets.

Always very tasty! The best carpaccio I know!

Nice ambience inside and outside. Very tasty and attractively prepared. Price-performance ratio is right considering the location and quality. Very attentive and family-friendly staff

I've never experienced anything so bad in my life! The food was catastrophic and at the end when we wanted to pay we had to add up our bills ourselves because we wanted to pay together. When asked if we could pay together, the answer was: “Can you do the math yourself, you have a cell phone in your hand!” so incredibly unfriendly!

The waiter was very rude. He gave us 3 bills and said pay yourself. Any cheese at McDonald’s tastes better than that!

When the weather is nice, the terrace offers a pleasant place to sit with a view of Lake Phoenix - a beautiful location that invites you to linger. The service was friendly, but rather average. It took a while to get noticed, which required some patience. The food was okay and left nothing to be desired, but it didn't particularly stand out. A solid quality that met expectations but did not go beyond. Overall, a good visit to the restaurant, which was convincing due to the beautiful location and the harmonious ambience.

Very nice restaurant on Lake Phoenix. Nice atmosphere and attentive staff. The food and the coffee afterwards were great.

Went to the Pfefferkorn NY Steakhouse today, everything from the service to the food was great. Very attentive service and the food was high quality. Gladly again.

Unfortunately I won't be back, the waiters were very friendly, I just wish the food was different, I've had better for the money

A good, nice atmosphere and very good and tasty food, served by an extremely friendly waiter. All you can do is give a thumbs up and tell others, don't go here, you're missing out.

Good food priced at the upper limit (burger with fries, €25) but good quality.

Nice environment. The hamburger was good but the meat was a little too tough for my taste. The Hövels beer was great.

Very nice restaurant, good service, only the quality of the food does not correspond to the price

On Boxing Day we reserved a table for three people at 8 p.m. We were previously told by telephone that earlier times were no longer available; When we arrived shortly before 8:00 p.m. the restaurant wasn't even about 50 percent full??? We ordered three different steaks with side dishes. I ordered a rib-eye steak with fries and got potato wedges. Since I like both, I didn't comment further on it. However, my steak looked like it was left over from a butcher's feast. Instead of a beautiful piece of meat with an eye of fat, I had two torn apart pieces of meat on the plate, connected by a thin strip of fat. The whole thing kind of reminded me of the shape of handcuffs, not exactly a feast for the eyes. We agreed on the quality, taste and cooking point: perfect. However, the quality of the supplements did not convince us. Shortly after 10 p.m. we were asked for the last order and the staff, who had been looking slightly grumpy all evening (don't get me wrong, the service was very friendly, but I didn't see a smile from any of the employees), began to leave the restaurant to tidy up and set up for the next day. Overall, it was a nice evening, but we agreed that we have often eaten much better and more lavish food for considerably less money.

The waiter was grumpy and the schnitzel was medium at best. Not coming back there.

Very good American-style steakhouse right on Phönix See Dortmund. Friendly and attentive service, the waiting time is naturally a little longer at Christmas, but reasonable. Very good quality meat, perfectly prepared, but also significantly more expensive. Good drink selection. Very loud when the tables are full, so conversations at a table of six are difficult, which is a shame. But overall, absolutely recommended if you are a beef lover. I personally would prefer to eat there during the week soon, it will be more relaxed and certainly quieter than during the holidays.

We had booked a table there for Christmas Day, our conclusion: really good!! Reception, service, table, ambience, atmosphere in the restaurant and last, but not least, the food, desserts, everything was great and the rib eye steaks are really first class! We'd love to come back!

Highly recommended. Food great quality. Price performance ratio is right. Very nice service.

I had a chili cheese burger. Unfortunately it was fried in too much fat. And 25.00 euros for a burger with a few fries is already heavy.

Considering that they serve upscale gastronomy, the quality of the food is rather mediocre, not to mention the portion size of the schnitzel

My first address on Lake Phoenix 👍

Das Wasser für den grünen Tee war lauwarm, die Crevettenschwänze nicht gar, fast kalt, die Schwänze lösten sich nicht aus der Schale, die Bedienung nervte, weil sie ständig Umsatz machen wollte, nur die Preise waren gut gesalzen.

Atmosphere on the lake is great, the decor is a bit old-fashioned, there is little choice of dishes and they taste average at best with prices that are too high

Service was attentive and a lovely shop. However, what they sell as schnitzel is more likely just a pared chicken breast

The portions are very small and very, very expensive

I like the Pfefferkorn in the city of Dortmund better. I only had something to drink there so I can't comment on the food.

Unfortunately the portion was too small (3 fillet steaks with potatoes and spinach). I wasn't full. A little more potatoes would have been nice. It was delicious.

Very tasty and the service was great and very, very good! Always my pleasure!

The price is rather high but very good and very tasty

Should be a nice evening with friends. The restaurant wasn't very busy and we were also parked at the toilet. The cold moved from the entrance to our table. After we complained, we were moved. It's sad that you have to complain first. We were not given any understanding. I ordered a salad without peppers and specifically mentioned my pepper allergy and was promptly served peppers in my salad 😳 unbelievable!! We ordered two identical dishes. Steaks medium rare. One of the steaks was completely cooked through and tough. Since the evening was over anyway, we wanted to speak to the restaurant manager. What can I say, the ability to take criticism and customer satisfaction looks somehow different. We won't be coming back! I would have preferred to leave my money somewhere else.

From the welcome to the service and the ambience to the food: everything was worth the money. We were spontaneously there with four people, were greeted with champagne and taken to a table in less than 5 minutes. After another two minutes the waitress came, took the drink order and brought us the menus. We ordered Cola, a Cola Zero, a cocktail and water. For dinner there was a U.S. New York strip loin regular cut, a steak plate and two cheeseburgers and side dishes. But the food was almost overshadowed by the friendly service, so our new “to go” destination in Dortmund is clear. None of us went home full and smiling.

Solid place for lunch break. Nice view, the food is unspectacular but the lunch menu is also much more affordable. The three of us were visiting outside on a weekday in the fall.

For years, I drove there from Osnabrück to Dortmund every month. The food was always really good, but the last two times it was the end of the store. We waited an hour for our food. There were two of us there and we were alone. The food was normal and good The bill also waited another 30 minutes and the prices were way too expensive 60€ Börger with fries and drinks Clearly inflation but I ask you Service slowly Drinks and food expensive Toilets are fine so we've really finished with the store

Average food at high prices. Nice in a group but too uncomfortable as a couple.

Very nice staff and accommodating. The food was very good. The restaurant very cozy. We'd love to come back again.

Unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right.

Food came very quickly and we even got free ice cream. I highly recommend Classic Burger!

The burger and snitel were mediocre quality.

Frozen schnitzels, overcooked with burned breading. The frozen potatoes were ok. Best to avoid ordering these things.

There were two of us there. We had something to drink and eat. Drinks and food were good 👍🏼. Unfortunately, after ordering 1 drink and an appetizer, the service slowed down quite a bit. The employee only came after half an hour and asked for more drinks or we called her to our table. After the main course it took a long time to order dessert and other drinks. When we wanted the bill, our main course and dessert were still at the table, but we had already put them aside so that she could take them with her when she walked past. But even that didn't happen. And finally, when my friend wanted to pay the bill with a credit card, she said..."Tip."? So unfortunately that wasn't good service. I always give tips because I come from the catering industry myself, but that really wasn't a good service. She seemed quite overwhelmed. I'm sorry too, but that really wasn't good service. But that doesn't mean we won't go there again! It's just a shame, otherwise everything was fine. Food and drinks.

Super delicious! Very nice staff!

The waiters like to talk to each other ')

Food was good, price/performance was right. Unfortunately there was a flaw in the food, but the service responded really well.

Medium quality steakhouse. Prices raised. Service rather average. I wouldn't go there anymore.

Unfortunately very overpriced. I won't go there again!

We were planning on having a nice meal with the family. Even though there was a lot of space available, we got a table next to the toilet and a large dog shaking itself - but that meant the waitress had a short distance and was able to reach us quickly. So we took allergy tablets and hoped we wouldn't get too many problems. Since we were there with 5 people and our boy wanted to invite us, we all skipped the really good pieces of meat, which start at 40 euros, and chose schnitzel. These look better in our canteen and the plates are arranged almost identically... That's a real shame. Then they forgot to deliver a drink. The table was sometimes completely overcrowded - dishes were picked up late or not at all. My wife then ate some of her salad off her lap - but no one was interested. Unfortunately, the customer is no longer “king” - the staff, which is certainly in short supply, is - sadly. The whole thing came to 151 euros and didn't leave a good feeling. This can be done much better - for us this experience was reason enough not to dine here again.

Very good food and good atmosphere.

A restaurant right on Lake Phoenix! Very nicely located! The atmosphere is actually very nice! Unfortunately we were shown a very unpleasant table! There were five of us sitting at a table for four! (Although there were a lot of other large tables available!) It was incredibly tight on the table! I sat with the chair in the aisle that led directly to the toilets, i.e. People constantly walked past me. That wasn't nice at all! When I asked directly whether there was another table, I was told it would be cozy. The service staff were nice, but those who brought us the food just slapped it on the table, unfortunately I can't say it any other way! There was so little space that I ended up putting the salad on my lap! Otherwise the plate would have hung over the table! So the plate was placed on my table by the waitress! (see photo) The food was okay! Put carelessly on the plate, that's what I would say! I only ate half of it because it tasted kind of old? I didn't like it at all! We won't be back for a long time! The other dishes were also quite okay! But nothing special either.

The food is awesome. The service great. The view cannot be described. A dream. LG Prince Thomas 🤴

Nice, rustic restaurant on Lake Phönix. Food was very good and friendly service...

Food was good and service was nice. Prices are a bit on the expensive side

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 👍

Very excellent meat, nice location, and perfect service

It was good all around! Thank you!

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...

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.

Simply class. Nothing to add 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
