Schweine Janes Altstadt in Düsseldorf

If you were not allowed to sit, just take it away, no good service, they actually left the place

Very unfriendly, food was expensive but ok. Walk 5 minutes further for better service and food

we were 12 people to eat. after we ordered we were thrown out and we could eat on the street

Food was ok but the service was very unfriendly. After ordering you were chased outside even though you were still waiting for your fries. It's better to walk a few meters further.

The skin is too tough and the lean meat is good. Mashed Potato Pupu

You get kicked out after you order

Came here for the pork hocks and was not disappointed. Tried to avoid carbs in general but the potatoes were also cooked in pork fat and so good I almost finished them all.

Good service, good food, good location. What can I ask for more? Definitely deserves a come. Haxe is really tasty. Beer is a great plus!

Schweine Janes is a must if you are in the Altstadt and want to try authentic German food without the hassle. We went on a recommendation and it did not disappoint. Their star dish is roast pork, Schweinebraten, which they prepare with a crispy crust and very good flavor. The meat was perfectly cooked, juicy inside and with that crispy texture that makes it irresistible. It is a very popular place and usually has a lot of people, but the atmosphere is quite relaxed, ideal for enjoying a quick and tasty meal. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, if you are looking to try a good traditional German dish and an authentic place, Schweine Janes is the perfect choice.

I think is the best pork knuckle in Altstadt areas I have tasted. Please take note have long queue and waiting time.

Unpleasant dining experience: The environment was crowded, the staff had a bad attitude, and the food wasn’t as good as it used to be.

Visiting Düsseldorf we were recommended this place because it is famous for its food. From the street it is easily distinguishable, you just have to go to the place where the queue was. The place is small and the fame is great. However, we were lucky and if you speak the local language everything is easier. At night it is different, the queue is bigger. We ordered the typical stuff, knuckle, Schnitzel, Schweinebraten, all washed down with good beer. The knuckle was simply spectacular. A place to return to.

The waitress was terribly unfriendly unlike the rest of the staff.

Amazing meats with great service. Heated seats are ideal when wanting to eat somewhere of a high quality in the winter.

I had the sandwich as it's the only option for takeout. I was disappointed because it was a meat sandwich with no variety. It got boring eating it and I have had better roasted pig. The guy serving didn't wear gloves like the other guy did. Was grossed out by that..

Wanted a schweinebraten for our short stay in Düsseldorf and this place had just that. Checked the website and menu beforehand which showed childrens options but when we got there, the menu was quite limited and no childrens menu. I therefore was required to order my 9yo a full adult meal which was too much and costed more as well. Meal gets served very quickly as most stuff is precooked ready plus the coleslaw/krautsalat is cold as well which i prefer to sauerkraut, this was the best part. Can't really fault the meal but the restaurant is a little shabby and didn't feel overly clean or comfortable.

The attitude of the waitress was not very good, the pig's trotters were fried, and the fried potatoes were delicious.

The service has always been bad. The place has always been shady but we’ve always accepted it because the food was great. Sadly the last thing this place had going for it has also gone. Now it’s just a shady place with exceptionally bad service. After years of going there never coming back.

This place was recommended to me by a colleague, it did not disappoint!!!

Been coming here for years, food was always great but it’s gone downhill. The service was always bad and the place itself has always looked shady but now the food has also become mediocre all the other flaws have become unacceptable. Sad, I loved this place for the food but won’t ever go back.

Found this place on google, wanted to give it a try. The service girl was very rude. After a staff bring us to a table, another girl told us “don’t sit here, stand up and wait” with a very rude look on her face. Do not recommend this place.

❤️ the Schweinshaxe mit Bratkartoffeln* Pork knuckle with Altbier (top fermented dark beer) sauce, roast potatoes & cabbage salad* Very tasty!

Melt off the bone schweinschaxe and incredible crackling. Served with a mountain of spuds and salad. Best meal I've had in the city.

I had bought leberkase im brotchen here. and the meatloaf burger taste fantastic even though the shop was small.

Unfortunately not like it used to be, unfriendly, the meat is very dry, there is no pork crust on the rolls anymore. It used to be always worth a visit, but today I went there again, unfortunately never again, a shame.

The most delicious shanks!!! This is the second time in this place!!! I was with my husband....now I brought the children)))

Yes, what can you say. Shop was empty. The inexpensive dishes are only available to take away. I wasn't served a drink. I have to eat something too. Very expensive. Not great, rip off?

Belongs to every visit to the old town. Delicious roast pork roll with crust and a freshly tapped Alt.

Just eaten a crusty roast roll, nothing special!

I ate pork trotters from six places in Germany this time😅. This one is my most recommended. The skin is grilled to a crispy texture, and the meat is juicy and delicious (usually dry). The portion is also large. It is highly recommended, and there are many attractions nearby to visit.

A must in Düsseldorf's old town

Clearly not what it used to be, which is also reflected in the visitor numbers. Where you used to wait fifteen minutes, you now have an immediate seat. The snitzel was on the table within 2 minutes and was as dry as a postcard. The accompanying salad was thrown into a bowl with little love, with whole pieces of tree stump. The service clearly doesn't feel like it, they are quick to pay, while we were still eating we were served the bill without asking. Apparently it is not common for you to order a second round of drinks. Collect money and get out. Despite the good experiences we had here in the past, we will never return here.

Best pork knuckle and surprisingly also the best sauerkraut! I usually don’t like sauerkraut but I can only recommend for everyone to try it

I've never eaten worse than today, I wonder where the reviews come from. Grill plate only tasted like fat, no dips. Schnitzel, okay. Was the first and last time.

I'm really into Jane's pork knuckle... but the waitress was just a bit too stupid for me. And when I wanted to pay, she went to smoke.

When I came to Germany, the whole store was filled with Chinese people. Roast pork trotters with signature dark beer sauce, served with sauerkraut to relieve greasiness The landlady is very kind and good at receiving guests.

Unfortunately, very often unfriendly service. Meat is placed in the bun with hands after the money is taken in hand. Very unhygienic. The last time I ordered, they complained that I didn't leave a tip on top of the 6 euros for a roll to take away. Was there last time

Excellent rotisserie pork knuckle. Great fries and cabbage. Well worth the visit. I believe I first learned of this restaurant from Anthony Bourdain show.

The one long-established restaurant in Düsseldorf with the best roast pork

After previous good experiences, now disappointed. Schweinehaxe was very dry, as if it was a reheated leftover from the day before. The service was unable to serve both meals at the same time.

Dry pork roll for €6.00. Excessive prices for what is offered.

Nice cosy restaurant focused on meat. Unfortunately they were out of T Bone but everyone enjoyed their different steaks. Service was spot on. Atmosphere was good. Cosy. Nice vibe. Staff happy to have a laugh. Def recommend.

This used to be better, but pork rolls for over €6 were unfortunately not good: the meat was unfortunately “seasoned” and the roll was too styled. Doesn't fit! Too bad. ☹️

Brilliant steaks in Düsseldorf old town...

Nice restaurant and friendly service. Very important are the prices. I wouldn't have thought so, but very moderate

Food was very tasty. Service quick and friendly. Prices are, well, correspondingly high during the summer holidays and inflation, but normal for the area.

Food is great! However, one lady waitress didn’t allow us to split our bill with her varying excuses even though it was just easy to do. Nonetheless, we didn’t allow her to ruin the good food we had.

Delicious pork burgers served with crackling, slaw, and optional mustard. Very satisfying and filling. Quick and hospitable service for fast take away. Super tasty! Will be back.

Verplicht minimaal 1 gerecht per persoon. Voelt gedwongen om minimaal 5% fooi te geven bij het pinnen. Medewerker bleef herhalen dat er geen fooi op zit. Service/bediening was slecht. Eten was heel zout.

Fabulous site The knuckle of 10 We loved the place The waitress was very friendly

Food is OKAY, but This Restaurant is not Asian Friendly. I have a water bottle in my bag pack, and the Waiter literally educated me "It is not good to drink water from outside" while I am ordering drinks. I feel so offended. I was asked to go inside to pay the bill, and the Waiter ask my to pay 5% or 10% as the tips. I am not comfortable with this at all.

Keep your hands off the food, pick up a pork roll and well, you can do that. It's not possible to sit down and eat on site. The schnitzel came out of the deep fryer, the cevapcici were fried dry and crispy. Never again!

Excellent food, the pork nuckle has a lot of flavor

Yes, it was ok but nothing special. The meat was a bit dry and there was only mustard as a sauce. Quite good as a 'small snack' to combat hunger.

They recommended the restaurant to us, it is next to the town hall square which makes it very comfortable, we have ordered two dishes for 4 and if you are not very hungry it is fine (maybe you will be a little hungry), the service is a little dry and the skewers were too. Everything a little expensive Water 7.9 😮

We just spontaneously went to the old town to eat a “roast roll”! We were thrilled! New: the mega crispy, very large farmer's roll, two thick slices of roast, with a piece of crust. New: packed not just in a napkin, but in a small. Paper bag like a kebab. Absolute recommendation and always happy to come back!

I ordered their Schnitzel and it was too hard and dry for my preference. I also find it a bit pricey. The drinks cost 4+€ per 500ml glass. The service staff who accommodated us was friendly and nice, but the area seems a bit crowded, had to sit really close with the other customers.

A must for anyone who likes to eat meat

Best pork knuckle ever. Definitely worth the wait. Service is a bit brusque but they’ll get to you. Sit tight and don’t worry

The pig's feet became very salty, I will definitely not go there again.

Dry. If you're looking for schweinshanxe eat at Shumacher.

Some food they will reject to give you at the table , you can only have it to go, which is really odd and very disappointing

Our expectations were far from being met. The schnitzel came out of the deep fryer and the grill plate also tasted worse than good. We could hardly study the menu in peace, the waitress stood next to us and waited for our order. The facility could be renovated. All in all a little grubby. Plus point: crispy fries and air conditioning. No recommendation!

The food/price ratio was very good but bad with the water bottles. Eight bucks for 0.75l

When my daughter was three years old, she loved to eat his pig's feet. She kept eating them without fear of her stomach bursting. Although there are many people, the waiter will arrange the seats.

Unmissable dishes, good value for money, fast service.

Time: I went after twelve o'clock in the evening, and it showed that it is open until two o'clock in the morning. When I arrived, there were still many to order, but not all were sold out. Location: I walked for 20 minutes from near the train station. It should be about 4 stops by public transportation. The restaurant is near a bustling area of ​​​​Bar Street. It is still very lively late at night, and many people gather here. Experience: I originally wanted to order a whole pork knuckle with mashed potatoes or French fries, but because it was already late at night and all the side dishes were sold out, I chose a sandwich with bread. It was delicious with sauerkraut and mustard sauce. The meat inside can be fat, lean or even crispy. Next time I’ll try to dine in a whole pork knuckle.

Not the best Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle). There was no crust, it was soft/jelly outside. Potatoes were ok. 25€ for schweinsaxe and one beer.

Great food and good service. Looking forward to going back again soon

Love this place either for sit down lunch or takeaway sandwiches

Nice service, knuckle good, skewer very dry, mashed potatoes very very runny, I would also replace the forks.

The place is very overrated, with minimum quality hospitality and not great food. I would not recommend my friends and people to visit this place. Please, don’t expect 4,5 stars quality.

As always, your rolls are delicious! It's not particularly suitable for spending time there. But takeaway is always a good choice! Clear recommendation!!

The boss was super unfriendly. As soon as we had the menu in our hands, we were urged to order. It felt like she was afraid that we would just sit around. And the food? Terrible! The grilled pork knuckles were still ok. The other meat was dry and tough. We definitely won't come a second time. This is a tourist trap, nothing more.

Very dirty inside and especially downstairs in the toilets, smells bad, customer service very basic, mashed potatoes dry and not fresh, small amount of gravy. Pork is good, but pricy for such atmosphere.

Roast pork roll with crispy rind and Altbier. There is nothing better.

It took us a long time to choose where to go to eat on our first day in Dusseldorf. In the end, based on reviews, we chose this place. And they didn’t regret it. Delicious food and beer. There is not much space, but there was no need to wait. The service is also top notch. The waitress is friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend trying the pork knuckle, I have never tasted it so delicious anywhere in Germany before. For dinner for two with alcohol we paid about 50 euros. I definitely recommend visiting this place at least once. We'll come back here again! Thank you!

Sitio pequeño y con su rollo, con mesitas dentro y algunos bancos fuera. Buen codillo y cerveza para disfrutar de comida alemana no en un lugar de los más masificados y turísticos.

Muy mala educación de la mujer que atiende las mesas. Solo nos dejó elegir dos platos de la carta y gritando. Le pedimos café y nos dijo que NO que la cocina estaba cerrada y que era hora de irse. Todo esto a las 22:00 de la noche y en plena Eurocopa de Fútbol. Nada recomendable.

Früher bekam man dort Spanferkel mit Kruste und Zwiebeln in einem knusprigen Brötchen, saftig und gein! Heute trockene, dreimal zu Tode gebratene Schweineschulter…. keine Kruste, keine Zwiebeln, keinen Bratensaft - schrecklich….

Pretty dirty. Food portions were large, but low quality. Service was OK, very pushy on tips though (despite below par service). Would not reccomend eating here given the choices nearby.

So these pork rolls are really delicious... with cabbage and crust... the price is totally justified...

I don't know if Haksen cooking methods vary from region to region, but the Haksen at restaurants around here don't have much of a hard shell. It feels like eating warm cooked pig’s feet. In the past, a knife or fork would stick into the hard shell... The portion size is large, so if all 3 people are not big eaters, order only 2 portions when visiting with 3 people. I ordered some unusual beers here and was very satisfied. If you go, try this.

Great schinitzel and fantastic pork knuckles!!

Five of all had schweineshaxe dish and dish was ok for the price. However the service was extremely unattended with no instructions while we were waiting for more than 20mins. The restaurant is on a very busy street and people passing by smokes and throw garbages on the street thus if you come here with children, it would be better to sit inside.

Seit vielen Jahren in der Bolkerstrasse und es zieht uns an! Zwar nicht das gesündeste, was man essen sollte, aber es kommt ja nicht alle Tage vor. Mal wieder sehr sehr lecker der Grillteller und die Schweinshaxe!!!!!

A great place with great service!

Delicious and enormous meal! The meat was so juicy and flavourful. Highly recommend!

We went for dinner and we really liked the atmosphere and the service. The food was also great.

The food was very good. Unfortunately, an hour before the kitchen closed, everything that was on the menu was no longer available. The condition seemed unfriendly and stressed. We sat outside and it was very unpleasant because people who wanted to go into the restaurant often bumped into our table when they were drunk. It was also very tight.

Since the management changed, the quality and taste has deteriorated. There is no longer the delicious, crunchy crust on the pork roll like before. It is no longer possible to sit comfortably outside while eating, even though everything was empty. The pork roll is only available to take away.

Great spot in old town. The portion sizes were huge, the service was very quick, and the price was really reasonable. Also kid friendly. Really cozy joint.

Sehr schade, dass die Qualität vom Fleisch immer schlechter wird und für 6.00 Euro hätte ich auch kein Aufbackbrötchen erwartet. Der Service ist mies und mein Wunsch nach einem Stück mit Kruste bekam ich nicht erfüllt. Der Laden ist kein Empfehlung mehr und macht besser einen großen Bogen und geht woanders hin.

The best pork knuckle I’ve had!!!!!!!

The pork knuckle was excellent for those who come to taste this dish, it is worth it! The rest is not bad. Be careful if there are several of you and you do not take one dish per person then a charge of €8 will be applied to you!

The food was delicious, but what really bothered us was that the employee was constantly on his cell phone and there was a lack of attention towards the customer.

The best pork knuckle in Dusseldorf!

It’s delicious, the portions are quite large, and the price is okay. The interior decoration is quite unique, but there are a few fewer seats.

I don’t know why there are no baked potatoes, but his pork knuckles are delicious and the sauerkraut salad is just not enough!

The pig Janes from before is gone. The restaurant has been dismantling for several months now. The house is right, the restaurant is the same, but that's it. The meat is no longer as tender. The taste has also changed, formerly rustic. The famous pork crust is no longer crispy but chewy. The prices have also risen significantly. But that's probably standard practice in the industry. Also the pig Janes on Nordstr. has been closed for over a year. But the quality wasn't nearly as good as in the old town. A pity!
