Restaurant Heimathafen in Lübeck

Great atmosphere right on the Wakenitz River. Very tasty food, but the prices are commensurate.

Always fantastic! The Heimathafen impresses with its wonderful ambiance, very friendly service, and excellent cuisine. Special requests are always fulfilled. You immediately feel welcome and well looked after. Highly recommended.

A wonderful place with perfect hosts, what we thought was perfect service, delicious food, and unparalleled friendliness.

There was a maggot in the salad. They simply remade the dish and brought it back. Just a small apology. The meal had to be paid for as usual, and drinks or anything similar weren't on the house either!

Very friendly service, nice atmosphere, but the schnitzel was a bit too salty.

Very good shop, can recommend, really worth it

A dream location, complemented by fantastic cuisine and topped off by wonderful service! We were immediately greeted warmly, or rather, "welcomed"; home, in a nutshell. The currywurst is so fantastic that the rest of the menu will have to wait until our next visit. A place to be, to linger, to meet people, and to indulge yourself! Don't believe it? Then come here and see for yourself! Not doing so would be a huge mistake! And: "I don't have any cash..." doesn't count as an excuse: ALL credit cards are accepted! 😀

You can sit on lounge chairs by the water and just have a drink or eat something on the terrace. A quiet place.

Beautiful location, and the food is tasty and plentiful. No one goes home hungry. Nicole served us and made us feel very welcome. We ate there two days in a row. When I'm back in Lübeck, I'll definitely stop by again.

The restaurant is solid. Nothing exceptional, friendly service, but everything is a bit dated. The garden, including the beer truck, is very neglected. Even if it's part of the image, it's unfortunate that they haven't made more of this great location. True to the motto: minimum effort, maximum return.

Amazingly beautiful location directly on the Trave River with mooring pontoons for canoeists and SUPs. A large green area in front is perfect for sunbathing and playing. You can go swimming or enjoy the sunset with a cold drink and bratwurst from a sales trailer overlooking the water. Alternatively, you can enjoy delicious and affordable food, drinks, and sunbathing on the restaurant terrace directly behind it, or dine in the cozy interior. Very friendly staff caters to all your needs. Bicycle parking is available on site. However, arriving by car is not recommended, as the residential road is always very busy.

There were four of us, including a wheelchair and a walker. A small ramp was quickly brought out for the step at the entrance, and we were in. Perfect food, very friendly service (everyone), and a generous plate. The prices are also very reasonable. Reservations are recommended. The view of the Wakenitz River is stunning. The only thing is that you have to walk a few meters, as there are only a few parking spaces, but it's worth it.

Very nice place. Delicious food. Excellent service. Lovely ambiance.

Yes, very much, but a few service employees could smile again♡

Yes, we had a good meal, and the service was quick and friendly. We were a little sad that we couldn't eat outside on this beautiful summer evening, but still: a nice place in a great location on the Wakenitz River.

The food was very good. The kitchen was also very quick. However, the service staff was extremely rude. Even though the food and the view of the Wakenitz were excellent, we won't be coming back.

A great beer garden right on the water🥰 Friendly people, good food, great beers, and delicious Chardonnay. Eight of us were in the restaurant👍 We particularly liked the "Heimathafen 3erlei" - we'll be back.

Great restaurant with a view of the water, very friendly service, and a friendly atmosphere. The food is plentiful, and the menu is solid and refreshingly straightforward. They also offer fried potatoes and sauerkraut... We'll be happy to come back. Thank you very much.

Everything about this restaurant is simply top-notch. Nicole's friendly service is particularly noteworthy!

Food and service rather below average. - A shame considering the beautiful location...

A beautiful place, with a view of the Wakenitz.

A very nice resort, right on the Wakenitz River. The food is really good and the prices are affordable. The staff is quick, friendly, and cheerful. Highly recommended. (Absolutely fantastic at sunset in the evening.)

It's a great restaurant. You get excellent service. People are still guests there. Cozy and fully in keeping with the "home port" motto!

A great place, extremely friendly staff, and delicious food! A real insider tip—highly recommended :)

Good and friendly service. Great food – you'll be full.

The restaurant has a fantastic location and excellent cuisine! The service is very friendly and attentive! Highly recommended.

After a bike ride along the Wakenitz River, we ate there. The fish dish was delicious, and the service was very friendly and attentive. I 100% recommend the Heimathafen!

Nice ambience but unfortunately the schnitzel was in the fryer far too long.

Nice restaurant, service is fast and very friendly, food so-so.

Honestly, this place is absolutely amazing. The staff are super friendly, the food is delicious, the drinks are great, and I think the ambiance is great both inside and out. Highly recommended 🤗🤓

Well, I just wanted to go for a beer because I'm traveling for work... I know a nice couple who run the shop, as a Berliner... I wish you, Olaf, your wife and the rest of your crew continued success... Thanks Rob

A beautiful spot right on the Wakenitz River – relaxed atmosphere, loungers by the water, delicious drinks, and snacks. We would have loved to stay longer. What made us leave, however, was a clearly visible cannabis-prohibition sign. Although we didn't want to consume anything ourselves, we were bothered by the contrast: alcohol is served as a matter of course, even in front of children, while cannabis is explicitly prohibited. Of course, it's the house rules that must be respected here. Nevertheless, we believe that cannabis, just like alcohol, can be consumed responsibly. A little more openness and tolerance could help ensure that no one is excluded and make this beautiful place even more pleasant for all guests.

Found it through information from another restaurant owner. It's absolutely beautiful. Very good food. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in Lübeck. It's practically a must.

The ambiance, right on the Wakenitz River, is fantastic. There's a small drinks stand outside the restaurant, but it's part of it. Beach loungers are set up near the shore. The food is decent, and the staff is very friendly. In my opinion, the drink prices are quite steep, but the view is unique.

Anyone who rated this positively wasn't there. The service? Underground. The food? Well. Neither good nor bad. Ambiance? Well... if you've ever been to a cosmopolitan city, you wouldn't go here.

Great view of the Wakenitz and very tasty food. Service as always very friendly.

Absolute recommendation! It's rare to find a place like this. A true pearl.

If I could give zero points, they would definitely deserve it

Thanks to everyone there that evening! This made our time, including my brother's birthday, a little special!

This was our second and definitely not the last time there. The food and service are great, we feel very comfortable and well served. Gladly again. :-)

Very good food, would go again.

We celebrated my birthday here and it was a great service, everyone was very friendly and helpful, and special requests were also taken into account. The location is in a fantastic location by the water and the food is very tasty

We celebrated a birthday party there at short notice and were not disappointed. Friendly staff very good food.

Am 11.01.2025 waren wir, 8 Freunde, zum Essen im "Heimathafen" verabredet. Gesamte Stimmung in der Location war sehr gut. Wir bestellten unterschiedliche Gerichte, darunter auch einige Grünkohlgerichte. Leider fielen die Urteile der 5 Grünhohlesser durchgängig schlecht aus ! Matschiger Kohl, säuerlich schmeckende "Kohlwürste", die gar nicht wie Kohlwürste schmeckten, die Schweinebacke leicht angebrant, ebenso die angeblich karamellisierten Bratkartoffeln. Die übrigen Essen kamen erheblich besser weg. Insgesamt sehen wir den Besuch dort als Versuch, der auf keinen Fall wiederholt wird ! Das Preis- Leistungsverhältnis fiel beim Grünkohlgericht leider sehr schlecht aus. Andreas G. Freiberg

Authentic restaurant with friendly service. The food came quickly and was very nicely prepared. We were very satisfied with the taste. Keep it up 😊

Were there today, November 17th, 2024. My best friend celebrated her birthday there. Very tasty food, very friendly and attentive service. All in all just great. Will definitely come back.

The service: The waiter was soo friendly and soo attentive! The ambience: so beautiful. There are painting supplies and something to read for children. The food: super tasty. Absolutely recommend the walnut starters 🤩

Great food, great hospitality. Celebrated there twice, can only be recommended

Today we didn't feel like cooking for ourselves at very short notice and had a delicious meal here in the "home port". We love the fried potatoes and had herring and sour meat with them, which created a taste explosion in our mouths with every bite. But that's only half of the perfect evening The team was once again super nice and perfect. Behind this good chef are the service colleagues who do a perfect job. Always a smile on your lips and sometimes a joke on your neck. perfect service

A very nice restaurant on the Wakenitz. With self-service garden area Small but nice menu...

Great restaurant in a prime location right on the banks of the Wakenitz! Small menu, top service, delicious food and always felt warmly welcomed! Thank you very much!

Basically a good location for a summer evening. However, if you are a non-smoker you have no chance. Smoke and more smoke everywhere. Looking for summer air in vain.

Super tasty, fresh food with very high quality. The waitresses were super friendly and quick and always courteous. We'd love to come back. Perhaps it would be advisable to reserve in advance, as the restaurant was extremely full and we were only lucky enough to get a table...

Nice place, right on the Wakenitz. However, bulgur salad with chicken breast for over €19 is overpriced. After dinner we wanted to have a drink and had to leave our table because other guests wanted to eat..

Thank you thank you thank you 🍀🍀🍀 It was a great evening... A huge THANK YOU goes to the wonderful service. Who reads everything from your lips. A big THANK YOU to the good cuisine. We would be happy to come back to you...

Everything fine. A lovely evening. Thanks.

Nice owners, top team, great view and delicious food 😋

Great restaurant, warm service, large portions... it was a real stroke of luck

I say thank you. Classic German cuisine presented in a modern way and at moderate prices. Plus super friendly service and a view of the water. Perfect, unfortunately with every good review the insider tip status disappears 😉

We were on the water in the canoes for 12 hours and were really happy when we saw the restaurant from the water. 12:00, there were employees working in the front garden. When we asked if we could get a coffee here, the employee replied very unfriendly and stroppy: "5 p.m.!!!!" When asked a second time, the same unfriendly “5 p.m.!!!”. It's a shame, the staff was incredibly unfriendly... we will never stop here again

We were very satisfied and would love to come back. Family Both and Family Kipke

Very great environment and very great team.

Ein wunderschöner Ort für regionale Hausmannskost. Wegen großer Nachfrage nach guter Küche, bitte generell vorher einen Tisch reservieren.

Addendum, July 2024 It was delicious, relaxed and very relaxing again, even if the ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ was burning😀.... A very nice afternoon/evening in good company 😊, relaxed atmosphere and with a super motivated staff. Relaxed, easy conversations/banter with the staff, made ordering an experience 😁.... It was a nice 70th birthday 🥰.... We would love to come back☀️🎉.... Sunny greetings....

Great for celebrating and relaxing. Thank you again for the great service. We'll definitely be back 👍🏼

You feel comfortable there. Very good food, staff very friendly, I will always go back to the home port for food, just great, thank you

The restaurant is located in a residential area directly on the hiking trail on the Wakenitz with a view of the Wakenitz. Very nice and competent service, delicious food, we really liked it. If we are in Lübeck again, we would definitely go here again.

I was there for the first time. The menu isn't that big, nor does it have to be. The food was very tasty and enough 😋 The service was top. 👍 I'll definitely go there again.

The small but fine restaurant "Heimathafen" is part of the "Saglerverein Wakenitz" and is located directly on the Wakenitz in a residential area. The menu includes a whole range of regional meat and fish dishes, soups and salad variations. When it comes to drinks, in addition to the usual standards of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, there is also a very nice selection of wines on offer. With appropriate rooms, small to medium-sized celebrations and anniversaries can also be held there. Our service staff was very attentive and service-oriented. The food served was fresh and delicious. We will definitely come back here.

The two of us were there unannounced in the best weather and were fortunately offered a place at a table with two other guests. Although all the outdoor spaces were occupied and it was very warm, all the employees were in a good mood, attentive and friendly. The food came in a reasonable amount of time and was very tasty. This review is long overdue, as I was able to spend a very nice evening with colleagues in the home port in January. We come more often now. Keep it up!

The very best location on the Wakenitz. Attentive service. Good price-performance ratio.

Very tasty food, friendly staff, just great.

You can eat and drink very tasty here. Whether it's a schnitzel for when you're really hungry, or simply a cocktail to enjoy. There is something for everyone here. The staff is friendly and your wishes are fulfilled very quickly. And the whole thing is so beautifully located

Celebrated my birthday there. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was great anyway. All 40 guests were thrilled.

Great food (in buffet form for a celebration), lovingly and tastefully set. Super friendly and attentive service staff.

Nice restaurant right on the Wakenitz. Great food despite a small menu. Super nice service who always smiled and was very friendly from the greeting to the farewell. Gladly again.

Encountered it by chance while riding. It was very delicious and the service was good. I will come again next time.

The food is beautifully prepared and everything is fresh. Gladly again.

There is only a deduction because of the lack of parking spaces

Great service, delicious food, great location :)

We had our Christmas party here with over 30 people. Everything worked wonderfully, no long wait for drinks, the food (kale/roulades) was very good and was served hot, quickly and absolutely plentifully, lovingly decorated. Friendly owners and nice staff. Absolutely great! In summer it must be wonderful on the terrace, right on the Wakenitz.

Nice service, delicious food, dogs are welcome!

We would like to thank the entire team for this delicious meal and the lovely evening! We are really happy to have found such a great restaurant near us and will definitely come back more often. The ambience is great, the food is delicious and super fresh and the service is very attentive and friendly...a big compliment to everyone! Keep it up and see you soon and stay healthy... best regards Yvonne and Dirk

We ended up there purely by chance and were very happy to have found this beautiful restaurant. The staff was extremely child-friendly and overall very nice. The food and the menu left nothing to be desired and everything was very tasty. Even the children's meals, in our case the nuggets, were homemade and not run-of-the-mill nuggets. It was definitely not our last visit there and the atmosphere is also very cozy.

Wir haben dort den 70. Geburtstag einer Freundin gefeiert.Wir hatten einen extra Raum und der lange Tisch war hübsch eingedeckt für ca 20 Personen.

This is a known place to many locals but a bit off the beaten path for most Luebeck visitors, located in a regular suburb neighborhood a little outside of downtown… but, if you are looking for a delicious dinner with nice riverside atmosphere at a fair price, it is worth finding. My family lives in Luebeck and I was back for a visit and had a hankering for a traditional “Gruenkohl” dinner last night, a seasonal German dish. Restaurants in town were booked, so my family took me here, which seems to be mainly a fish restaurant but also has other specialties and standby meat and sausage dishes. In summer, the restaurant has an outdoor lawn patio adjoining the river where food is served. Since it was November, we were seated in a warm and inviting inside space with candles and flowers on the table. Service was prompt and friendly. Our Gruenkohl was perfectly cooked and seasoned, served with a choice of meats and fried potatoes. Children got noodles and curry wurst with fries and were very happy as well. Neighboring tables had delicious looking stews and fish dishes delivered, all with generous portions. The entire experience was excellent. We left full and happy.

Sehr gute Hausmannskost. Portionsgrößen ordentlich, geschmacklich top. Service 1a.

Nicht nur mit dem ADFC, sondern auch mit dem Kajak wird man hier bestens bedient. Heute auf unserer Kajaktour sind wir bestens aufgenommen worden. Nach einem Kaffee am Vormittag ging es mit aufgewärmt Fingern weiter. Also ich bin hier gerne. Fahrrad oder Kajak ist egal. LG,Thomas

Gepflegt, nett eingerichtet, gute Lage

Alles sehr schmackhaft, freundliches Personal

Mir hat mein erster ,aber nicht letzter Besuch sehr gut gefallen. Ich hatte einen köstlichen Bulgursalat mit Hähnchen und fand ihn lecker. Schöne Aussicht und nettes Ambiente

Ich war das erste Mal im Heimathafen. Die Speisekarte ist sehr umfangreich. Das Essen schmeckt sehr lecker. Der Service ist sehr freundlich, das Lokal hat einen familiären Flair. Die Einrichtung ist sehr schön aufeinander abgestimmt, die Wirtsleute haben ein gutes Gefühl für ein gelungenes Ambiente. Das Lokal ist gut besucht, bei meinem nächste Lübeck Besuch, gerne wieder.

Hier stimmt einfach alles. Gerne reservieren 😊. Blick auf Wakenitz. Sehr aufmerksamer Service. Tolles Essen.

Per Zufall sind wir heute Abend auf dieses freundliche, einladende Restaurant gestossen. Die Bedienung war super nett und unkomliziert, das Essen sehr gut und reichlich. Wir assen Matjes und Pannfisch, tranken einen ausgezeichneten Grau-Burgunder und ja, der Espresso am Schluss war wirklich buonissimo!

Schönes Restaurant an der Wakenitz. Ich hatte Hamburger Pannfisch, sehr lecker und eine große Portion. Das Restaurant liegt abseits von großen Straßen, es ist sehr ruhig und der Blick auf die Wakenitz ist sehr entspannend. Freundliches Personal runden das schöne Erlebnis ab!

Könnte ich einen Stern geben - würdet Ihr ihn von mir erhalten - natürlich den "Michelin Stern". Olaf, Gabi und Marta & Co. - Ihr seid ´ne Wucht. Das Essen immer Top zubereitet von Phillip und/oder Andreas! Wir kommen immer gerne zu Euch und freuen uns schon auf den legendären Bulgursalat mit Huhn. Liebe Grüße von der Mittwochs "Boule-Truppe"

Skön miljö, god mat och trevligt personal

Authentische Location mit tollem Blick über die Wakenitz, dazu ein umfangreiches Angebot meist regionaler Speisen, beste Qualität und sehr lecker zubereitet. Jever Pils frisch vom Fass gut eingestellt, mit hervorragendender Krone gezapft.

Hervorragendes Essen, super nette Bedienung und das Ambiente an der Wakenitz, sowieso unbezahlbar. Immer wieder gern.
