Restaurant Zur Alten Mühle in Glückstadt

Great food Friendly staff The ambiance is dated.

Super delicious and tastes great

Great restaurant right on Glückstadt harbor. Not fancy, but absolutely wonderful. We ate in the garden area during the pandemic. It was fantastic. Dogs are allowed. Of course, you have to keep your dog under control.

We're really sorry, but this was a disappointment. The atmosphere is quite dated. The menu, on the other hand, looked tempting – very extensive. We ordered the head cheese and a baked potato with herring. The potato was awful. I've never had anything like it. The fried potatoes with the head cheese, however, were quite good. The herring was of poor quality, the head cheese acceptable. Overall, a real shame! The server was friendly, but she did mix up the tables at first. Sorry! We won't be back.

We had a very delicious meal. Good home-style cooking with friendly service and a beautiful view of the harbor.

Anyone who enjoys fish should come here. The food is excellent, and the service is friendly. Families and children are welcome. Legendary fried potatoes.

A very nice restaurant with a cozy atmosphere near Glückstadt harbor. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is pleasant, and it's easy to have a good conversation. We'll definitely go back!

A dream! Kudos to the kitchen. Thank you so much for the wonderful day. We celebrated a birthday there with a larger kitchen. The service was very friendly, the ambiance lovely, and the food simply fantastic. Preparing so much food at once and then delivering such a satisfying meal is an art not many have mastered anymore. Everything was absolutely delicious!

Best herring I've ever eaten. Very well looked after, and they know how to cook.

I always enjoy going there whenever I'm docked in the harbor. The plaice is amazing, and the rest of the menu is also highly recommended.

The restaurant is located right on the harbor with a view of the water and the lock. Very delicious food, the food is still cooked properly. A very good selection of fish dishes. The prices are reasonable. The staff are always pleasant and friendly.

Extremely nice and pleasant atmosphere. Delicious food and nice staff.

I don't know what to say, so accommodating and kind and delicious, absolutely delicious, thank you so much for your courtesy. 🥰

We had delicious matjes herring filled with leeks, a truly nostalgic German restaurant, just like we remember from our youth! And then the Wiener schnitzel for my husband – fantastic!

The location by the harbor is quite good. The staff is friendly and attentive. My wife and I were disappointed with the food. The breading on the schnitzel was soft and mushy. The schnitzel looked like it had been steamed. The fried potatoes were also disappointing, as they weren't cooked properly. When I asked about them, I was told they were new potatoes, which don't brown when fried. I couldn't really believe that. I don't need to go there again.

We had the Matjes feast. It was super delicious. Matjes from Plötz, crispy fried potatoes, and the four sauces were delicious 😋. The caraway with a hat at the front was a must. With such good food, we needed another one afterward. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant! The staff is super fast and friendly. They work hard. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Delicious beers.

Unfortunately, the waiters were very inattentive, listening with only one ear because they were already on their way to the next table or busy tidying up, and so one or two things were forgotten. Unfortunately, they weren't very friendly either. It's a shame when a restaurant rests on its good location like that. The food was quite tasty, though.

Yes, highly recommended. Fast, friendly service. Super-delicious farmhouse breakfast, generous portions, and a bowl for the dog was even included. The ambiance is maritime, rustic, not noisy, with large tables, inviting you to linger with a view of the marina. I'll be back. Guaranteed 😋

Super delicious matjes eaten, good price-performance ratio, very friendly and attentive service, thank you

A restaurant with a home-style menu. My chosen herring dish, featuring three different herrings and fried potatoes, is second to none. I ate outside in a small, cozy beer garden. The location is highly recommended.

We were lucky to get a table without a reservation. The food was simply delicious, but it was difficult to choose. The staff was extremely friendly.

The food was very good, the portions were adequate. I was satisfied.

The fried potatoes were completely burnt. I've never been served black fried potatoes before. What a disgrace! The plaice was swimming in fat. The salad was also rather cheap.

I was here for the first time yesterday. We were a very large group, so we agreed on a reduced menu in advance. Everything worked out perfectly! The food left nothing to be desired, in my opinion; everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The dishes were plentiful and delicious. Thank you so much for this wonderful day with you.

Unfortunately, I can only advise against the sauerfleisch. Sauerfleisch is usually made from pork neck or pork belly. Here, they use the ribs. Half of the plate consists of bones and gristle, the rest is quite dry due to the lack of fat. The fried potatoes were good. The 45 minutes aren't great either. The herring is very good, said my companion, but they're delivered ready-made. Maybe I'll give the old mill another chance, but never sauerfleisch again.

Wonderfully situated on the water, with boats and yachts in front. Seating inside and outside is both very pleasant. And the food is delicious. Not to mention the friendly service.

One star to Sabrina for excellent service. One star for the location and the outdoor garden. One star for their really good lemonade.

Yes, whenever we are in Kollmar we go there for dinner

Very disinterested and unfriendly service. I'll definitely never visit this restaurant again.

We had an excellent lunch under a huge chestnut tree right by the harbor and were looked after by super friendly service! Gladly again

Very good. Good value for money. Nice location with a top beer garden.

It was worth visiting the old mill in this happy town. The herring menu was excellent and the dessert, the vanilla ball with chilly chocolate, was a temptation. Simply brilliant. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Always my pleasure

Yesterday, May 1st, 2025, I had dinner at the Alte Mühle restaurant. You can sit there beautifully both inside and outside, I made myself comfortable under the beautiful chestnut trees. The staff was very friendly, even though it was certainly a long and tiring day. The food came quickly, it was tasty and enough for a hungry sailor! I recommend the sour meat with fried potatoes and tartar sauce - great value for money - and a fresh Pilsner or Alster.

No Short and sweet. -Dry panfish - Fried potatoes with the panfish were floating in fat and tasted like nothing - the steak was not medium but well done - Beef cheeks were dry, tasteless and tough (and no, it definitely doesn't have to be that way, according to the waiter it was) - The vegetables looked like vegetables, but didn't taste like anything - Waiting over an hour for the food wasn't great either - the water we ordered for €4 was warm All in all very sad for my mother, who had her 82nd birthday yesterday and was really looking forward to a lovely evening. Only the young woman who took our order was really very friendly.

An inn with the charm of the 70s/80s. An extremely friendly waitress quickly brought us a menu and beer. The sour meat tasted very tasty. I found the black bread slices with scrambled eggs and a few crabs and herring to be very small for the price. I didn't like the herring, the rest was good but not enough.

We celebrated my 70th birthday and everything was great. My heartfelt thanks to the team. Keep it up. 🥂🍾 Thank you very much

Authentic ambience in a beautiful old inn. We ordered the typical Glückstadt food. Matjes. We really enjoyed it.

Very nice selection of warming drinks with a twist effect. Great service with prompt, friendly service and a water bowl for four-legged friends. Very attentive. Unfortunately, there are minus points for the baked goods, which I would not order a second time but should choose a pastry shop. The food is certainly very tasty and is definitely worth a next visit.

Some people from Germany should check out this restaurant. With 48 people, we had three different dishes and were back on the bus after an hour. Super delicious food: schnitzel, herring, cod, all with side dishes. The staff and the kitchen were so friendly, you can't beat it. Our group was thrilled. Keep up the good work. I hope we can come back. Best regards, Helmut Hinners

Not for gourmets but rustically good!

After we were invited to two weddings there with great food and a nice atmosphere, four of us ate there today. Three stints and one salmon trout. The stint was okay. My salmon was delicious. The sauce was cold, which is how it should be according to the service. My spinach was quite soft at less than lukewarm (I would say cooked too long) and the worst thing was that all the liquid from the spinach was spread over the plate. Taste is a matter of opinion but it should be warm! When I mentioned this (I didn't eat it) she said the kitchen would pay attention to it next time. Paid in full! The fried potatoes were too flabby for us, not crispy and lots of small grinders

Very tasty food. We'd love to come back.

At first we weren't greeted at all... the waitress just looked at us with a dark expression. Then we were given a seat in the middle of the room and were immediately ignored... After quite a while we left the restaurant again... It's a shame, we were really looking forward to a nice stay...

The stint, the Finkenwerder style plaice and the sour meat were a poem. And where else can you get such good fried potatoes?

A beautifully located restaurant with extremely friendly staff and delicious food. Highly recommended! Also very suitable for larger groups.

Great food, friendly staff and lovely sphere.

Very tasty, would love to come back. Greetings from the Jessen family

Very good owner-managed restaurant at the harbor in Glückstadt

Largest and best selection of matjes!!! Very, very tasty. Absolutely recommended!

Nice restaurant, food is great.

Very good cuisine, very friendly and natural service, good ambience, wasn't necessarily noticeable from the outside. Go back in spring/summer as you can sit outside!

Stood in front of closed doors after a long journey because the opening times on the internet weren't correct... won't come again

Visiting again. Very tasty food. Great service. Always my pleasure!

Super cozy with a great location. If you want honest home cooking, this is the right place for you. The service in particular was super accommodating and gave us a great evening. We'll be back!

Went there a week ago to have a little something to eat....we were familiar with the restaurant from years ago....rustically furnished with a view of the inland harbor. The service was rather reserved, the drinks took a little long and... Ordering dishes from us (farmer's breakfast and small schnitzel on toast) also took quite a long time. The taste of the food was quite good, the toast was a bit dry under the schnitzel, I would have liked some herb butter or something similar on top so that it wasn't so dry. Garnished It was with mushrooms and onions, there was nothing to complain about. Unfortunately, the ravages of time are taking their toll on the interior design, the counter and the entire inventory need a breath of fresh air... perhaps the requirements (due to monument protection or similar) are too big and expensive, but it makes a sad impression......

Despite staff problems (like everywhere) very hard working and very friendly. Plus some of the best Holstein cuisine in the region. We'll be back!

There were three of us there during lunchtime. We decided on the herring feast. A good choice!!! The caraway first was covered with a pumpernickel topped with herring ;-) . Yummy. After a not-too-long wait, the nice waitress brought the food. Three plates with salad and a rolled-up herring fillet. There was also a large bowl of beans, fried potatoes and a bowl of bacon. plus a bowl with red wine herring and one with normal herring fillets. So four fillets per person. The four different sauces were added. All in all a lovely visit. The taste was delicious!!!! This wasn't the last visit to this restaurant. Not to mention the location at the harbor. All in all: bomb!!!

Very friendly staff, the food tastes delicious. Dogs are also allowed here. They are also taken care of immediately, they are given water right away. There are enough parking spaces. The entrance can only be reached via a few steps.

I, we were here for the second time today at the Zur Alten Mühle restaurant in Glückstadt; of course with our dog. The food, the service from the staff and the ambience are impressive and overwhelmingly beautiful. We will come here again. I can recommend a visit here based on my own conviction and experience.

On my first visit here I ordered herring, generally the first herring I've ever eaten. As a result, I have to say I learned to love Matjes and look back fondly on this moment. Now I tried the crab soup (see picture) and the classic currywurst with fries (see picture). I particularly liked the crab soup, especially now that autumn is starting and so is soup season. It was nice and full-bodied with a few crabs and very tasty. The currywurst with fries also tasted good, although in my opinion the fries could have been fried a little longer. At the lunch time when I was there, the restaurant was busy, so there was a longer wait. I would therefore advise taking some time with you. The service is very nice, but due to the number of guests there was a lot of traveling. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic. The price is top.

Nicely located right on the harbor, good food at reasonable prices.

Yesterday (Saturday, specially (with the B431 closed) we drive 50 km to Glückstadt to eat there. Standing in front of the closed restaurant with a sign in front of it: Closed on August 10th for operational reasons. Otherwise the food there was mostly good. But In the future I will no longer drive 100 km for free.

We sat there with 13 people and unfortunately none of us were enthusiastic about the food. I have to say that not everyone had the same thing but everyone had something different..

This cuisine is praised: I have rarely enjoyed such a good farmer's breakfast and such good herring on pears, beans and bacon.

Could be spruced up. Service staff different sounds and corresponding quality.

Like Grandma's, way too old-fashioned. Meat was super dry. Service assumed we had no idea it would be that way. My conclusion No longer voluntary.

We got stranded here because our actual destination was closed. We had a delicious meal here and were served very well

For us, the chef fried the steak very well to medium rare. The fried potatoes served with it were really classic and crispy. The honey mustard sauce for the herring came extra and was very tasty with the freshly homemade potato rösti. The time until dinner was bridged with well-tapped Jever in the 0.4 Tulip. Service on Friday evening may be a little thin. It took a while to establish eye contact for the next jever. But despite the stress, still very friendly. We were really impressed with the food. A very nice evening in Glückstadt, our guesthouse opposite was nice again

Very nice restaurant, very nice service. But unfortunately not a bit handicapped accessible!

Today we ate delicious matjes with fried potatoes. The fried potatoes were fried in a little too much fat for our taste. Otherwise we really liked it. Nice service. Would definitely come back. Thank you!

I was impressed by the service staff. A nice gentleman who looked after the guests with friendly humor and charm. Anyway, you feel very welcome. A pretty restaurant with a nice view of the harbor. The food, well, a steak that was more cooked than fried.... Matjes drowned under a thick cocktail sauce... perhaps it should have been served separately. The steak was still tender, even though the cooking level was missed to medium.

Wienerschnitzel with fried potatoes and salad tasted excellent. Price-performance tip top

Here you can eat very tasty food at reasonable prices. There were six of us and everyone was very satisfied.

Very nice restaurant. Great service and very nice. Price/performance ok.....very tasty 😋

Ordered schnitzel with fried potatoes and salad. Price €15.50. The breading on the schnitzel, which was too light, fell off. The fried potatoes were way too greasy. The chef must have had a bad day. Wouldn't eat there twice.

Very charming restaurant in an old house it also has a terrace under a big chestnut tree for the summer. Very good cuisine, wonderful local produce, Asparagus, potatoes, lamb, beef, herring, Strawberries and all other vegetables! Very nice and professional service run by the owners. Highly recommended

It's been a long time since I've eaten fried potatoes as good as those in the "Zur Alten Mühle" restaurant 🤤🤤🤤🤤 with delicious herring, beans and bacon 😋😋😋

Nice restaurant with a nice view of the ships in the harbor fjord, very tasty food, friendly waiter, very good red wine 😁, is worth a meal

Delicious food at a fair price We'd love to come back

Buffet food! Every dish very tasty! Big praise for the chef and his team! Everything was cooked to perfection, which is extremely difficult for buffet food! We will definitely try the dishes from the menu too!

A fish and a meat dish was ordered. Both dishes came relatively quickly, were hot and tasty. The beer and rhubarb spritzer were at the right temperature. Unfortunately, the dessert we ordered (waffle with ice cream and cherries) took a long time to arrive, but it was okay. The ambience of the house is old German traditional, quite cozy. The location at the harbor is nice.

A very cozy restaurant, friendly and attentive staff 👍. We had a buffet 😀, very tasty food and beautifully presented.

Great food - great hospitality, gladly again.

Very nice restaurant with delicious kale.

Went for coffee ☕ in the Restaurant Zur Alten Mühle. Staff very friendly. Cake was very tasty, had apple strudel with ice cream and cream, my husband had crab soup, both were delicious 😋 We would love to come back 👍🍀

Very good restaurant would be happy again

I invited my colleagues here for fish 🐟 dinner last year. We were all thrilled and would love to do it again this year. A table has already been booked.

Rustic atmosphere, friendly staff, first class food! Perfect all around 👌

Fair prices. Enjoy your meal. Honorable service.

Wir sind zum zweiten Mal hier eingekehrt und waren wieder vollkommen begeistert. Leider habe ich nur Bilder vom Dessert da das Essen so lecker war und ich in meiner Begeisterung es vergessen habe zu fotografieren. Gute leckere Hausmannskost ohne viel Schnickschnack aber nett angerichtet. Hier wird noch traditionelle gekocht. Sehr freundliche Bedienung und das Essen kam recht zügig. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen dort mal einzukehren, man wird enttäuscht.

Vor Ort gegessen. Super Qualität und sehr freundlicher Service. Ist jetzt eines unserer Lieblingsrestaurants.

Sehr schöne Lage mit altdeutscher Küche, freundliche nette Bedienungen und gut abgeschmeckten Gerichten. Hatte das Steak mit Bratkartoffeln und Pilzen mit Zwiebeln. Traumhaft gewürzt, Fleisch superzart. Werden definitiv wiederkommen.

Eine super Gaststätte direkt am Wasser mit super netter Bedienung und super leckerem Essen. Sehr, sehr Kinderfreundlich. Einfach nur zu empfehlen!!!! Wir kommen gern wieder!

Un restaurant clàssic. Cuina local i amb productes de proximitat. Servei amable. Hi ha terrassa exterior. L'interior està decorat amb temàtica marina. Un bon lloc per fer un bon àpat a bon preu.

Sehr leckeres Essen und freundliches Personal.

Ein super Restaurant mit super Ambiente und sehr gutem und geschmackvollen Essen. Leider keine Fotos gemacht.

Das Restaurant versprüht den Charme der 90iger, alles sauber, aber alt. Das Personal ist grenzwertig freundlich und bemüht, aber nicht vom Fach. Das Essen ist o.k. Das Beste an dem Restaurant ist die Lage und der Blick aufs Wasser.

In einem urigen Restaurant mit super aufmerksamen und netten Personal haben wir sehr sehr lecker gegessen . Großes Lob an den Koch , selten so lecker und frisch gegessen

Personal ist lustlos, alles etwas Altbacken, eben nur für Einheimische man fühlt sich nicht willkommen. Es geht auch anders.
