Restaurant Friesenjung

We ate here several times during our time on Wangerooge and tried a variety of things, from pizza to chili con carne, to cappuccino and waffles and everything was really tasty, warm and fairly priced. You have to order the food yourself at the counter using the table number and as soon as the pager vibrates you have to pick it up yourself. Drinks are brought to the table. Also worth mentioning are the cocktails, which are all offered for 6.90 euros and were also great.

It is a very nice place to stay. Modern, cozy and very nice staff. My MatjesBrötchen was also super tasty. I felt very comfortable all around.

Super friendly waitresses! Thanks!

2024: ...everything is consistent, therefore now 4 out of 5 points. 2023: The opening times listed online on the homepage are not current and you are standing in front of a locked door!

Like many other restaurants here: Opening times and kitchen times unfortunately do not match Google or the homepage... Kitchen only until 7:00 p.m. What's so hard about updating this?

Very relaxed atmosphere. It's a self-service restaurant but you can only tell because you place your order at the counter, pay and then pick it up. Very nicely decorated. It is clear that, in addition to the delicious food, the guest should also have a pleasant stay. Friendly staff and a perfect location.

A self service restaurant but drinks are brought to the table. The ambience is nice. The fish was fried very well. After the meal the tables were wiped down immediately.

Delicious food, super nice service. Gladly again

Fair price-performance ratio, right on the beach. Reservation is recommended. The service is friendly, despite the high load

We vacation at the aparthotel 3-4 times a year and are always at the Friesenjunge! I would have given the ambience 5 stars if it wasn't disturbed by mothers with their children. The children use the restaurant as a playground and walk across the tables and benches without being observed or reprimanded in the least by their mothers or parents. So that you no longer understand your own words! But... the employees are extremely nice, courteous and do a great job! Especially now in November, when there are many restaurants available! You employees are great! Keep it up! And your boss can be really proud of you! I would still be happy to come back, if possible without children whose mothers don't care what their children do! Keep your nerves!

The food and cocktails are very good The waffle was inedible. Despite requests, the change was not checked and was given incorrectly. Children are probably only tolerated sitting still.

We picked up food. One dish was wrong and the sauces were missing. We called several times from home - no one answered the phone. We didn't go there again because the kitchen was closed anyway and otherwise the rest of the food would have gotten cold. The next day we wanted to go back at lunchtime to eat. We mentioned that we had been given the wrong food the night before. We were not offered a solution - not even a coffee on the house or an apology. According to the service staff, we ate the food, so it was our "mistake". We then agreed that we would no longer order food from Friesenjung or go there. The only points are for the location.

During our two-hour stay, we first ate really delicious burgers and fries with nuggets and drank delicious cocktails. Unfortunately, the waffle was baked too tightly and the children couldn't eat it all. A complaint would have taken too long for the children and created frustration. Unfortunately, there are few options for children to make their stay more attractive, for example with a small play area. Unfortunately, the children were restless at times. After we found something great to do for them, we were then expelled from the restaurant. “The tables are for eating and not for playing on/on, the noise, some of which comes from our small children, disturbs the other guests.” We left the restaurant quite upset because we had spent 2 hours eating there. And when we “disturbed” the children were sitting at the table playing with an adult.

The food here is very tasty. Self-service works very well with the pagers. Very good price/performance ratio for the island. Clear recommendation from me.

“Hot food continuously until 8 p.m.” and then sending the employees home so early that by the end there was nothing hot left! Very embarrassing, next time we'll go somewhere else!

Very Very 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 good, cozy, friendly staff, good price performance

Good breakfast for a moderate price

Solid family restaurant in a top location with reasonable prices and a nice atmosphere. Absolutely recommended for burgers and fries; For coffee & cake, cocktails and more unusual dishes, there are better locations on the island 😉 I would find it innovative if you could order from your seat using an app or something similar. A “burger of the week” and homemade fry sauce, for example, would greatly enhance the offer.

Very nice staff and delicious food!

Breakfast was very good and tasty

Cocktail and beach...what more could you want

Are back in Friesenjung today. The gyros is not comparable to a Greek. More like carving meat. I wouldn't eat it again. Goulash soup, chili con carne and spaghetti with grilled vegetables were tasty. We think the ambience is very good, the food and service only receive 3 stars.

Of course you have to like the self-service concept, we found it okay. The location is of course great, otherwise the ambience and the food itself are solid, but nothing more.

The Kibberlings were a blast. With the fries and the aioli, wonderful. Anytime again 👍

Mega friendly employees. Everything is very consistent!

Delicious, good value for money, great cocktails and you always have a view of the sea 🌊 ideal for a sundowner 🍹

Very nice to sit and enjoy by the sea. Nice young team.

The location of the restaurant with a direct view of the North Sea is great. There is enough seating outside and it is modernly furnished. Unfortunately, the menu is only available as a QR code, and a special app is required to access it. The burgers are good, the fish sandwiches are not recommended (significantly more tartar sauce than necessary) nothing special. It's a shame that the prices are self-service and only the drinks are brought.

Great location! Very good food! Price/performance top! Nice and fast service!

Cheap and good, great cocktails (the cheapest on the island) and nice staff. We'd love to come back.

On the beach promenade, good and reasonably priced, diverse offering.

We always stop there when we are on Wangerooge. Lots of seating inside and outside with sea views. Great location. Many delicious dishes and, among other things, cocktails on the menu (6.90 euros). Friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

On site both for take away It was always great.

The food here is very good and tastes appropriate. The service at the checkout was very nice. Service at the table (outside area) is only available for drinks, food must be picked up yourself, you will receive a padger as a notification. There is a QR code printed on the tables that takes you to an app. After two registrations and a clearly confusing interface, we eventually found the local page in the app where maintenance work was advertised... We are 4 people aged 25-28. In the best case scenario, simplify the app/make it yourself (no third-party provider) or get rid of it. All in all, it was still very nice here.

Always good for years. Daughter's birthday dinner. Waited 15 minutes for food until we were allowed to get it. Price and service great. Large tasty portions.

Price performance is right. And the location, simply unbeatable

We had a cocktail outside on the promenade. You had to get this yourself, so I can't say much about the service. The cocktail was super tasty (Pina Colada). It was a great jar for a really good price! You really can't complain about that. You sit either in beach chairs or on wooden furniture with cushions - with a view of the sea 🌊 Then a delicious cocktail - what more could you want?!

SB restaurant, nice location. Quite expensive for what was offered, burgers looked nice, the fried fish was nothing and gave me frozen vibes...

Cozy outdoor seating👍Drinks and food can be ordered directly from the car or in the restaurant. Very friendly staff. The food and drinks look appealing and taste very good👍Recommended😁

Tolles Restaurant, megaleckere Gerichte und ein Personal wie es sich jeder Chef nur wünschen kann...fleißig, schnell und unfassbar nett Höchstleistungen bringt der nette Herr der die Cocktails mit freundlichem Lächeln für 6,90 mixt...ich glaube er ist nach allen Sehenswürdigkeiten das größte Highlight der Insel 😍

Tastes great. The ambience with the beach chairs right on the promenade with a view of the sunset in the evening was great. The bartenders are friendly and always open to good humor, but I personally find the lack of table service a major drawback, which for me only brings the overall rating to 3.5 stars. With table service it would definitely be 4.8 - 5.0 stars.

It was great, drinks were available straight away, ice cream was available inside for 1.50 euros, great sea views and a comfortable beach chair to sit on included. Just great

Bruscetta from the daily menu is highly recommended

System catering in the first row of the beach. Here you pay for the great location and the view. Unfortunately, the quality of the food is below average and at a poor snack bar level. Far too expensive for that. We had burgers, fries, pizza and fried fish and can't recommend it. If you just want to drink coffee and look at the sea, this may be the right place for you, but you should eat somewhere else.

Ambience outside is great. Price line doesn't match.

Delicious burgers and cocktails. We had a lovely afternoon at this restaurant just before our journey back to the mainland.

Unfortunately only convenience products of lower quality, e.g. Pizza Fruti di Mare Customer must cooperate fantastic location Very friendly staff

We would like to hold part of our wedding celebration in Friesenjung. Unfortunately, it is not possible to contact us by email or telephone. Even the address provided two months ago with a telephone number, email address and a request for a call back, which we were promised, has not yet resulted in us being able to speak to the CEO or an authorized representative. Maybe one of those responsible will check the mailbox, the phone or see if they can find the note...

Ich war das erste Mal da und wusste nicht, dass man dort "nur" Burger essen sollte. Backfisch definitiv nicht! Die Portion war eine Frechheit... klein und wässrig.

Unfortunately, our visit to Friesen-Jung yesterday was disappointing. You have to get the food self-service and the drinks are brought to the table. The service is very young and inexperienced. For the price, the quality of the food wasn't good either. It tastes and looks like frozen food, there are fries with everything, but you still have to buy ketchup and mayonnaise for €0.50. The atmosphere inside was hot and loud. Very expensive and uncomfortable. Feels like a tourist trap and cash grab!

Very tasty, affordable food. Beautifully located by the sea. Attentive staff. Top

We stayed at Friesenjung several times during our vacation. The dishes, burgers, salad, fries, were very tasty. The service is a bit complicated, unfortunately the QR code that is on the tables doesn't work, so you have to order at the drinks stand or directly in the restaurant. The preparation of the food takes a long time as standard. You can then pick them up at the counter with a beeper. In terms of price, we were very impressed with the restaurant, as it is located on the promenade and is really humane. True to the motto Wangerooge, a family island. Unfortunately, you can't usually order anything, so it makes sense to plan in advance what you want to eat and drink. A repeat order on our part was only possible if we paid for the first order, which we subsequently denied.

Great view, cocktails great, food partly canteen quality (fried fish), pizza and fries good, service grumpy and only available for drinks, but rather expensive.

Coffee inedible and service staff incredibly unfriendly

I ate here several times during my stay on Wangerooge and I have absolutely no complaints. Due to the size of the restaurant, you can always find a place for yourself even as a solo traveler, and the view of the beach and the sea is also very beautiful. When it comes to eating, breakfast for €19.50 is certainly a steep price, but then you eat a lot so you don't feel hungry again until the evening. The dinner, pizza and burgers as well as waffles with ice cream as a dessert, tasted very good and I never had to wait longer than 15 minutes for my food (advantage of a solo traveler?) until I could pick it up. So I would happily eat here again at any time.

We went on an island trip and had lunch here. Self-service... you order and pay, you get a buzzer. When the food is ready you can get it at the food counter. The drinks are brought to the table by the staff. The quality of the food was okay but there was still room for improvement. Beautiful location directly on the promenade with a view of the North Sea.

Unfortunately 100% disappointing. I had a large mixed salad for €10.50 and it only consisted of 2 slices of cucumber, 3 slices of tomatoes and a few tiny pieces of pepper and about 10 leaves of lettuce. Unfortunately, it wasn't washed thoroughly and was grinding between its teeth. The garlic bread for €7.30 was two pieces of baguette with a little garlic. The salad garnish with the baguette was also not washed and was completely wilted and old at the edges. My children and my husband each had burgers for just under €10. The patties were frozen and the buns were ready-made. The fries cost another €4.50, plus €0.50 for mayo or ketchup. My son's burger came with a long brown hair and when my husband picked up the food half of it was missing. Unfortunately, for a self-service restaurant with a waiting time of over 50 minutes and the pricing, the food was not recommended at all.

If you would like to wait 1.5 hours for a simple order (burger and fries, to pick up yourself), this is the right place for you...

When we asked for gluten-free food, this was rejected very rudely and said that we couldn't afford it. Not nice for people who have to live with this intolerance. The service at the checkout became increasingly unfriendly. A pity !! Not a good figurehead for this store

Price performance fits. The food was very tasty. We also enjoyed going there in the evening and having a drink.

Unfortunately, there are a few people in the restaurant service who are very unfriendly and have little interest in the well-being of their guests.

In my opinion, a real disgrace. Prices are high - and yet you have to order drinks at the counter and then pick everything up yourself. Sometimes we waited 10 minutes (!) to order. Of course one was gone for 10 minutes and the snake. The food was cooled down to be suitable for small children. The fried fish looked like it came from a 100-count bag from Metro. Poorly heated... also an imposition. Holidaymakers who work hard all year round come to this island and are (in my personal opinion) brazenly milked... I find that really shameful and I don't understand why the place is so full.... probably only holidaymakers who, like us, were on Wangerooge for the first and last time...

We have been loyal guests at Friesenjung for years. Every holiday we eat there several times. It's perfect if you want to eat something average and great for a quiet hour. You don't have any stress or get sent away. You order your food at the counter and then you get a beeping thing. It's relatively quick, about 10-20 minutes at most. I am appalled by the negative comments. I can reassure you all, go to Friesenjung and have a great time! 😍

Great beach bar, good standard food and cocktails. Very good location. Service very friendly and helpful.

Wanted to drink East Frisian tea, got hot water and a tea bag. I also drink something like that in southern Germany. I was a bit disappointed, I was expecting open tea in Friesland.

Why are some people served and others have to do self-service? That would be my question here

Family was there during the bad times. Meal took 50 minutes. Gyros were cold, drinks were warm [beer]. Kitchen was totally overwhelmed. Spending via the Rappelkiste only worked if asked. Sorry, we won't be back.🐝

An impersonal fast food restaurant with average quality food. You could look at it as a replacement for McDonald's, then the food would be equally good but much cheaper. Nevertheless, you go because the location and view are simply priceless.

Great cocktails at a price of €6.90. We were also there. The food was quite ok, but unfortunately we waited almost an hour for the food in the evening, which we were told beforehand.

Eating simple fried food, prices higher, waiting times up to 1.5 hours. Not good, those who work there have no idea. Gastronomy is burning and pays poorly.

Delicious food. Good coffee. Delicious cocktails. Nice view of the sea

Had 2 hairs in the food and 1 hair in the drink. When I said that, it was dismissed quite succinctly. No apology, nothing like that. It can happen but three times! Someone must be having severe hair loss

The food was good, you could also sit well, but it smelled like vomit and ruined the evening a little! You had to wait 45 minutes for the food and there were people waiting next to the tables the whole time who wanted cocktails.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to order from the table and you have to pick up the food and drinks yourself. I actually think the restaurant is a bit expensive because there is hardly any staff that needs to be paid. The gyro special was quite tasty but the burger was terrible. Ready-made patties have no place in a restaurant and €10.50 without fries is steep. The drinks were okay but overall we were a bit disappointed.

We ate fried fish with fried potatoes. Just made warm and without any taste. For the price, it's a disgrace. It's a self-service restaurant, the staff were friendly. You can also sit on the beach promenade.

Great self-service restaurant on the promenade. Magnificent view of the sunset.

Nice self-service restaurant. Good quality of the food

Wir waren in unserer Wangeroogewoche mehrfach zur Kaffeezeit dort. Gegessen haben wir nicht, die Speisen sahen alle gut aus, die Preisgestaltung ist zu anderen Lokalen auf der Insel als fair zu bezeichnen. Das trifft auch bei den Cocktails zu. Preislich im Rahmen, schmackhaft. Zum dort trinken oder zu mitnehmen. Überteuert fanden wir die alkoholfreien Cocktails und die verschiedenen Eistees. Bei den vielen Menschen die hier tagtäglich ein- und ausgehen sauber und ordentlich. Das Personal durchweg freundlich.

Supposedly open according to Google. Nobody has answered the phone for weeks. No response to emails. Outdated posts on social media. That doesn't work at all.

Nice breakfast buffet. The offering ranges from bread and rolls to scrambled eggs, fried sausages and baked tomatoes, to various muesli ingredients, to yoghurt, fruit salad and even cakes. Tea, coffee and various fruit juices are included.

At the Friesenjung a daily must 😉enjoy the view and a delicious cocktail...the food is also good.

Actually well located, right on the beach. Three people, three different cocktails, unfortunately no cocktail was convincing. What bothered us the most were the cocktails to go. A lot of plastic waste is produced there, which is an absolute NO GO on an island. Too bad

Since our "big one" always wants a burger, we come here more often because it's still affordable here ;) It's also delicious, as are fries and various pasta dishes. Spaghetti was always al dente, which is not a given. There are certainly better burgers, but this one is good and great for the price! They are friendly here too… Addendum: deducted one star because today we had fried potatoes, which are not. They are fried potato slices. There was also remoulade for the fried fish in disposable plastic bowls and ketchup and mayo were available in plastic bags (like at Pirate). Please invest in ceramic or glass bowls and save waste. And nerves when the bag doesn't want to be torn open and then tears, but half the ketchup ends up on the t-shirt and pants 🙈 If you sit outside: watch out for seagulls and jackdaws! They also grab fries from behind your hand while flying! And when you sit between the parasols, make sure that there are no bird droppings on, under, at the table/seat and that no bird sits on top and gets on the tray/into the food or on your clothes!! I was “hit on” 4 times, I smeared myself with bird droppings at the table, they pooped on the tray and when I wanted to scare a bird away, I hit it with my hand 😂😜 If that’s lucky, I definitely should Go play the lottery 😜 Feel free to make a reservation in the evening! Otherwise you have to sit outside ;)

The location close to the beach is great and the staff is very friendly. The prices are fair, although convenience products are used. The dishes in the mid-price segment are completely ok, but the portions of the more expensive dishes are quite small and, in my opinion, overpriced. When visiting the beach you can recommend the restaurant for small snacks (pizza, pasta, fish & chips, chilli con carne,...).

- Staff friendly - great facilities - Food very tasty and warm - Large selection

Have been here several times and always loved it. The prices are fair, there were seats even without a reservation, the food is tasty and the cocktails are great too. The self-service concept is really good: food is ordered at the checkout and paid for directly. You get a beeper and then pick up the food (it's very quick). Drinks are brought to the table. This really saves a lot of time.

One of the few restaurants on Wangerooge that is run extremely professionally.

Eating frozen food, tourist rip-off, you get full, had chicken burger, soggy bun, zero taste, sauce tasteless, fries ok

Whether for breakfast or another meal, the “Friesenjungs” can be highly recommended. Nice people, good food and a beautiful view of the North Sea.

We dined there twice. Both times we got seats in one of the beach chairs on the upper beach promenade with a view of the sea (and therefore including the sound of the sea). Uniquely good! Service would have been nice, but here as a guest you have to order and pay at the counter, then you get a buzzer and when it buzzes & flashes, you can pick up the food yourself... after all, it is very tasty, even though - due to the 1A location - not necessarily cheap. There were problems with the bill on both visits; Once we would have paid around 5 euros too little if we hadn't pointed this out to the service person, and once there was a back and forth because the wrong burgers were initially charged and delivered (in addition to a receipt that was only handed out upon request). Nevertheless, worth it, as long as your own head is switched on ;-)

We have been guests here three times during our vacation and are very impressed by the fast service, the delicious food and varied drinks, and the ambience. And inside and outside, everything is great!

Self-service, but drinks are brought. Locally nice and clean and ideally located on the beach. Portions were very small. Staff friendly. But the food was sad...actually cheeky considering the price. No aromas, not really tasted. I assume that we only had the cheapest ready-made products on our plates and that no one bothered to at least taste and disguise the whole thing. Salad was inadequately washed... it crunched when chewed.

Half self-service restaurant. Drinks are brought to the table. You have to pick up your food at the counter, and the service people will help you without asking if it's too much for one tray. Service is therefore good and the staff is pleasantly calm but attentive. In general, the atmosphere is super relaxed, even with two children - they fit into the atmosphere almost automatically. One of the best restaurants on the island!

Sorry, but this is the worst "restaurant" on the island :(

After long walks we love sitting here and looking at the sea. The service is very nice. The food was super delicious.

The food is quickly prepared and ready to be picked up at the counter, drinks are brought to the table, there are plenty of seats inside with a beautiful view of the stream outside and outside in the beach chairs

Great sea view and very good food. Cocktails were also very good and fairly priced. Nice personel

Fast service and delicious food. Prices are completely ok.

Very tasty food, very good quality and very quick to prepare. We were very satisfied . Only recommended :-)

A self-service restaurant directly on the promenade. Drinks are served, food can be ordered and picked up via self-service. The food is very tasty and the portions are more than sufficient. Price performance is ok
