Steakhouse am Johannistor - Daniel Alexandrov in Jena

Ate roulades with classes on Saturday November 30th, 2024. The roulades were hard and dry, the cherries in the cherry red cabbage still had their pits. A treat to bite into. They graciously gave us a waiver, great. At least we'll never again.

Very nice atmosphere, service also great. I had spiced meat as a starter, which was very, very small for the price. In general, the portions are too small.

It was a very nice evening and the service was super fast, friendly, constantly asking if you needed anything (of course the more crowded the shop, this will decrease a little) but still a great performance. The space is already adapted to the motto and something with a newer style instead of the rustic Hofbräuhaus, but you can't completely get the old steakhouse out of the building. Because there are only toilets upstairs, the restaurant is not for everyone. Unfortunately, the food wasn't such a great enrichment. The schnitzel was quite small and the color looked like it had been prepared in the deep fryer. There was also a mushroom sauce that wasn't entirely convincing either. Conclusion: good to drink, but I wouldn't eat it again. Sorry 😐

Very nice Restaurant, excellent food and very friendly staff 😉 they also accept pets

We were looking forward to a hearty Bavarian lunch, but were unfortunately disappointed. Sure, the food was okay, but we just missed the rustic ambience. The radio music in the background didn't fit into the Hofbräuhaus at all and the decoration also leaves a lot to be desired. Price-performance just wasn't right for us at all. Non-alcoholic drinks in particular are significantly more expensive than beer! Another disadvantage are the toilets on the upper floor, which can only be reached via a spiral staircase. You have to keep this in mind if you go there with people who are no longer good on foot. Thanks for the friendly service, but we probably won't be back. Too bad...

Really nice atmosphere, very nice and funny service, good selection of food and drinks. The potato salad is particularly delicious!!!!

It was a very nice evening... With great service and delicious food

The meatloaf had no taste and was also grossly overpriced. Unfortunately I can't recommend it.

I made a reservation and visited. Because it was Friday evening, there were many customers. I ordered steak and shrimp and it was very delicious. You have to pay extra for the sauce. The desserts are delicious, the food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly.

Went there for the first time today and unfortunately for the last time. Unfortunately a very high volume level. Unfortunately, the breading of the schnitzel tasted like old frying fat, and the side salad had no dressing. Ketchup and mayo were carelessly placed on the table in plastic bottles. The food came so quickly that I think it was unfortunately ready-made food. Baked chicken and cheese spaetzle are completely missing from the menu There was a smell of feces in the entrance area

We were eating in a larger group. First of all: every dish was served according to the order and nothing was swapped. The waiting time was relatively short. Personally, I had Obazda with pretzel as a starter which was homemade and very tasty. The main course was schnitzel, which the majority of the group also had. It was a decent homemade schnitzel but certainly not worth over 20 euros. The breading was not souffled like you would expect from a Wienerschnitzel. You can do the same thing at home! In addition, the fries on the side weren't really crispy, which is a shame. When we asked the service whether the optional potato salad was prepared with mayonnaise or the classic Austrian style with vinegar, the wrong information was given. It was Austrian but the service called it mayonnaise. Bad information, otherwise I would have ordered this. Overall OK. But I don't have to have it again.

Everything is right here. Best knuckle in a long time...

We spontaneously decided to eat there. We got a table straight away and were served in a friendly manner. Food was super tasty. The atmosphere is rustic but very cozy. Prices are also fair. A very clear recommendation.

It was our first time at the Hofbräu and we were very satisfied. The location is a mixture of a rustic inn with new-fangled accents. The service was very friendly and accommodating. The food itself was very tasty, but it could have been a bit warmer. We'll definitely be back.

I had the pulled knuckle citizen It was simply incredibly tasty. The warm chocolate cake was perfect. Very clear recommendation.

Great... I don't need to say more. We were thrilled. Delicious food, great waiters and nice atmosphere. Please everyone visit regularly so that we can keep something like this great ❤️

Bomb food, quick preparation. Price performance is OK.

Delicious food, good beer, friendly service!

Was invited there for dinner yesterday. The restaurant makes a very rustic but cozy impression. The service was great and the waiter was quick, friendly and joking. The food was really tasty and the beer was good too. I'll definitely come here again.

Highly recommended for anyone who likes German (Bavarian) cuisine. I'd love to come back.

From steakhouse to Hofbräuhaus. The food is ok but relatively small portions, but it probably depends on the dish. Price-performance doesn't match every dish here. The service was well, this needs to be worked on urgently. At that time: Very tasty steaks. However, for what I think is a high price, the salad plate feels smaller and the amount of meat is significantly less. Unfortunately, the service has not been entirely satisfactory the last three times. Otherwise, this restaurant is recommended.

A little bit of Bavaria in Jena. Very cozy, with the charm of Bavaria. The food was great and the service was very friendly and on the ball

Very great restaurant...I would love to come back

Very nice ambience, the inner courtyard was perfect, friendly staff, fast service, the food was great, I would love to come back, I can only recommend it

You should urgently work on your pricing policy, completely overpriced for these small portions. This has nothing to do with inflation anymore, it's simply a rip-off and thoughtless calculation! Too bad!

Attention: The many good reviews are for the previous restaurant, the steakhouse, which was really outstanding. The Hofbräuhaus can't even come close to keeping up. Service is reasonably good, but nothing more. For dinner we had a snack (veal sausages and Obazda) - it was at best supermarket quality, including the pretzels. This tasted like it came from the baked goods shelf in the discount store. In addition, when we arrived, there were reserved signs on virtually all of the tables, even though all of the tables were still free for at least 2 hours. So we almost left right away. If only we...

Top! What was still missing in Jena (among other things)!👍

Had a great evening at the new Hofbräu am Johannistor. Mutzbraten super tender, knuckle juicy and crispy. Beer is great anyway. Waiting times reasonable. Staff friendly and quick.

Attention, the reviews also include those from the previous steakhouse! Old location, new concept, not very successful. We spontaneously went to the Hofbräu and wanted to grab a bite to eat. The tables outside were all empty, and they all had a reserved sign at 4 in the afternoon, even though the reservation was only valid in the evening. It's not inviting and we wanted to leave straight away. Next we were informed that there was nothing to eat at the moment, no hot food. Another way to sell it better is to have a typical Bavarian snack instead. I decided on a small portion of Obazda with pretzel. And then, people, 8.50 euros for a supermarket pretzel with a manageable portion of ready-made cheese, no thanks. Pretzel dry, Obazda tasteless. Never again. The service was nice, but seemed to have little experience.

Many thanks to the team at Hofbräuhaus Jena! So far I haven't been able to find anything on the menu that wasn't tasty! Today we had the Resche pork knuckle, very tender meat, nice crust. For mustard lovers, simply order an extra pot. Sauerkraut was perfect, not too sour with a bite. Just a little tip! Try the Hofbräu Dunkel! Outstanding. Until next time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The four of us had a great evening! The service was very friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food. We all found the food really tasty and the price was right. Depending on the dish, the portions aren't that big, but that's good if you want to eat an appetizer and/or dessert. I was definitely full after my main course and dessert. Even as a vegetarian or vegan you have a good selection of dishes. We'd love to come back!

Top as a steakhouse, flop as HB Haus! We had 4 different meals, none of them appropriate for the price, service was nice but unprofessional.

Great food and pleasant ambience in the new Hofbräu am Johannistor. After, for me, the negative development in the city center - especially in view of the rarity of local inns/restaurants - this is an absolute necessity and a joy at the same time.

Burger for 20€ and then you get an old, flaky bun that has been swollen with water and has been baked again. That's quite a disgrace.

Tonight, Saturday, August 10, 2024, at around 8:45 p.m. we took a seat in the well-attended beer garden (right next to the main entrance). Every minute up to 4 different service staff appeared in the beer garden or looked out the door. There was neither a greeting nor our order taken. We were very happy to be able to test the new Hofbräuhaus in Jena after our summer vacation in Bavaria. After about 20 minutes, we asked a waiter if we could order, but he simply pointed out that the kitchen closed at 9 p.m. No drinks were offered. Too bad!

Very friendly and attentive service, meat cooked to perfection, good portions, quality very good, would definitely come again

Die Steaks waren sehr gut und auf dem Punkt gegart. Die Beilagen Ofenkartoffel mit Saurer Sahne war nicht so der Knaller, aber es ging. (War nicht wirklich warm) Die Toiletten waren sauber aber nichts für geruchsempfindliche Menschen. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich.

Very tasty! Very friendly service! It's a shame that it's closing 😪 but it will be reopened with a new concept, let's see how it turns out 🙂 I like to be surprised!

Very good steak. Friendly service.

Very nice restaurant, pleasant atmosphere. Without a reservation you definitely won't get a place on the weekends. Due to its size, it is very cramped with small tables in some corners. (2 person table) Service was great, nice and quick. You have to like the menu, which can be accessed digitally with your cell phone. I don't normally take my cell phone with me to a romantic meal. (I didn't ask for a real card) Ordered starters for 2 people, beautifully prepared, very tasty. It was quite a treat for the palate. Main course rib-eye steak with garlic bread and pan-fried Duroc schnitzel. So the “Pfannenschnitzel” looked like it would never have seen a pan, was far too dry and blandly seasoned. Ordered medium rib eye, it wasn't fried to perfection. Essentially English, so more raw than medium. Beautiful roasted aromas, completely absent. Meat was moderately tough. Very firm to the bite, but juicy. Impossible to cut with a “normal” knife. Not really anything special in terms of taste. For a “steakhouse” I definitely expect something better for this price. The selection of steaks wasn't great either, there are many special cuts, types etc but three types...hm. In any case, you can buy the meat from the butcher around the corner and it doesn't taste any worse. After all the top reviews I'm a little confused, but maybe it was one of the worse days. Conclusion: you can visit but you won't miss anything. Price performance, not appropriate for me.

We went to the steakhouse again today. The food was excellent and the service was very attentive.

We discovered a really nice restaurant there. The food is delicious, the service is very nice and attentive. I just found the pricing a bit too much.

Staff is super friendly. The atmosphere is great and the food is just good and tasty.

Unser Essen war erneut Klasse, der Service spitze und zuvorkommend und auch sehr gut bei Kritik. Wir waren das zweite mal da und kommen gern wieder. Onlinebuchung top!

We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Our salad, fries and the 300g steak fillet were simply fantastic. We will be back definitely.

The portions are plentiful, the steaks are delicious, the staff is friendly and flawless.

very nicely decorated very nice service food excellent

A nice shop, nice service and the food was worth every cent😁 the steak is cooked to perfection 👌 would be happy again!

Very tasty steak with side dishes, as befits a good steakhouse! The location is located on the medieval city wall with Johannistor.

Typical steak house atmosphere. Delicious food and great service. Highly recommended 👍🏻.

I haven't been there for a while and was really looking forward to the steakhouse burger and then... no more salad with it (and the dressing was always really good), other, perfectly normal, unfortunately quite dry fries and the burger itself is just mediocre of the taste. Why do you have to change such a great dish so much? Two stars less for the taste and also one star deducted for the high price. It's a shame, but that's why I don't go to the steakhouse anymore.

Very nice atmosphere, great food, great service!

The overall impression of the steakhouse in Jena was good. The service was very friendly and attentive, high praise for that. The best part of the meal was the dessert, rarely have I had such a good chocolate cake. The steak itself was very tender and tasted good. Now it comes to the but. Unfortunately, the roasted flavors of our 700g ribeye were missing; it was more cooked than seared. I've never had that in a steakhouse before. The tartare was of good quality, with a bit of a taste of its own, but bread was provided free of charge. Overall, it was very comfortable and clean and the flaming of the steak was something to look at, even if the flaming didn't do anything to seal the surface.

This is the best service you can get in Jena. The meat is seared exactly as desired, the spices and amount of salt match the dish perfectly. If you want to enjoy high-quality food, especially high-quality meat, go here. Wine recommendations are professional and tailored to the wishes of the guests.

Super nice service, absolutely tasty food. It's a little more expensive, but worth every penny.

Overall satisfied, excellent service, delicious dishes in a relaxed atmosphere...

Interesting restaurant. Nice service.

Very nice location, as well as very good service and very attentive. The food can be highly recommended and is perfectly prepared and tasted.

Great Ribeye and good sides. Cooked exactly as asked. Friendly service (a tad slow but it was a busy night).

Always my pleasure. We will be back

Das Fleisch war auf dem Punkt medium, so wir es wünschen. Auch die Beilagen waren köstlich und der Salat schmackhaft. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend.

Very good fillet of beef, recommended for private and business occasions.

Very good and no complaints about the service

Sehr gutes Essen, Steaks auf dem Punkt gebraten. Sehr kompetente und sehr freundliche Bedienung.

Sehr gutes Essen, nettes Personal. Immer wieder gern.

Leckeres Filet, freundlicher Service und ein nettes Plätzchen zum genießen. Ich freu mich schon auf den nächsten Besuch.

Rib Eye schmilzt förmlich im Mund.

Phantastisches Essen und sehr freundliches Personal Vielen Dank

Super Essen, Steak war perfekt gebraten, guter freundlicher Service, Ambiente auch gut.

Tolles Ambiente,toller Service, tolles Essen. Es war ein sehr schöner, gemütlicher Abend. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

Super Burger und Rumpsteak kann ich nur empfehlen.

Sehr leckeres es. Mega Essen jederzeit wieder

Ein Steakhouse wie man es sich vorstellt. Man begeht keinen Fehler hier einzukehren. Man sollte allerdings reservieren.

Sehr leckeres Essen mit guter Beratung

Nettes Steakhouse mit leckerem Essen

Hab heute mein 18 Geburtstag da gefeiert und das Essen ist ein 10/10 und auch der Service wahr top kann es nur jedem weiterempfehlen

War sehr, sehr lecker! Wir sind in Jena nur 3 Tage geblieben und hier hier zweimal gekommen. Super cooles Lokal!

Wir waren mit den Kindern (5 und 8 Jahre) hier essen. Wir haben gleich für die Kinder Stifte und Blätter bekommen, Getränke kamen auch schnell und wir wurden sehr freundlich und auch geduldig (Kindern können sich manchmal schlecht entscheiden) beraten. Das Essen war lecker und auch wie bestellt, die Portionen waren wirklich ordentlich und das Fleisch 🥰✨. Es war wirklich ein angenehmes rundum Paket. Jeden Cent wert...

Mein Ribeye Steak war sehr zäh und sehnig, schade.

das am besten gebrate Filetsteak das ich in letzter Zeit gegessen habe hab Surf and Turf bestellt, wenn die Garnelen mit etwas mehr Knobi gebaten würden, wären sie meiner Meinung nach perfekt

Jedes Mal ein absolutes Highlight!!

La comida es genial, el ambiente agradable y el servicio bueno. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Hohe Qualität zum angemessenen Preis! Definitiv ein Besuch wert!

* Das war das schönste Steak 🥩, das wir in letzter Zeit gegessen haben. Die Garstufe und das Wasserverhältnis waren sehr gut eingestellt. Sauce und Beilage waren sehr gut. *Desserts waren sehr aufmerksam und frisch. * Es ist ein zweistöckiges Lokal, wenn Sie als Gruppe kommen, sollten Sie unbedingt vorher reservieren. * Die Einrichtung ist sehr authentisch gestaltet.

Very delicious food! We ordered matured Ribeye and a starter for 2. That was too much food for 2 small women 🤣 but we finished everything, because it was absolutely amazing! The interior and service are also top notch.

With friends from England out for a meal. Absolutely gorgeous steak done to the point as ordered. At a good price.

Super 👍🏻 Wir haben sofort einen Tisch bekommen, das Essen war hervorragend und die Bedienung ausgezeichnet nett . Immer wieder gerne.

Essen nicht schlecht aber Gasthaus ungeheizt, wir waren danach völlig durchgefroren. Im Eingangsbereich riecht es nach offenem Abwasser Kanal. Bei den Preisen völlig unakzeptabel.

Die Fleischqualität ist super auch die Auswahl ist gut. Der Service passt und ist auf Zack. Bei den Beilagen und Salaten könnte es mehr Auswahl geben

Wir hatten nicht gebucht und bekamen einenTisch in der oberen Etage. Die Speisekarte war über das Handy einzusehen. Das Steak war perfekt Medium rear gebraten, der Burger saftig und der Salat knackig. Und endlich mal ein sehr guter Service. Rundherum passt alles in diesem Restaurant. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

Ein nicht geplanter Stop wurde zu einem Perfekten Erlebnis. Hier wird SERVICE groß geschrieben. Wir bedanken uns für den freundlichen Empfang und Service. Ein besonderer LOB geht auch in die Küche. Ihr müsst dieses Haus einfach besuchen. Fam. Schindler aus Hessen

Als Außendienstmitarbeiter besuche ich täglich die verschiedensten Gaststätten und so wie ich heute in diesem Steakhaus behandelt wurde, habe ich in meinem Leben noch nicht erlebt. Ich betrat das Restaurant und wurde von einer älteren Dame unfreundlich in Empfang genommen. Sie begrüßte mich sofort mit zwei Fragen: "nur eine Person?" und "sind Sie geimpft?", jedoch ohne zuvor "Hallo" zu sagen. Nach Beantwortung der Fragen, wurde ich an eine jüngere Kellnerin übergeben mit dem Stichwort "Hochtisch". Diese begleitete mich zu einem Platz, der mir Verkauft wurde mit "der Hochtisch mit Blick in die offene Küche"... ein Einzeltisch zwischen Treppe und Pfeilern mit Blick in die Küche plus Geruch und Krach, einfach unglaublich. Da bat ich, ob ich nicht einen angenehmeren Platz bekommen könnte, hier wären ja ziemlich viele unbesetzt, daraufhin kam die Antwort, dass ich als Einzelperson leider nicht an einem 4er Tisch sitzen könne... das wäre wohl unmöglich. Dann bekam ich Anweisungen wie, mich in die Luca app einzuchecken und mir die Speisekarte im Internet anzuschauen. Ich beschloss das Restaurant zu verlassen und gab der älteren Dame mein Feedback, dass sie mit Lachen erwiderte und unfreundlich "Tschüss" hinterher rief.

Wer ein saftiges, medium gebratenes und fettfreies Rinderfilet mit groben Salz und Pfeffer in einem absolut schicken Restaurant essen möchte, muss hier her kommen. Das Ambiente ist rustikal, aber gleichzeitig auch elegant. Die Bedienungen sind sehr freundlich. Mein Mann und ich essen hier alle 3-4 Monate, immer das medium gebratene Rinderfilet und können es zu 100% empfehlen.

Zum Hochzeitstag zufällig in der Stadt entdeckt und spontan noch mit etwas Glück einen Tisch bekommen. Reservieren macht auf alle Fälle Sinn! Der Service ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, dabei aber keinesfalls aufdringlich. Fragen zur Speisekarte wurden kompetent beantwortet. Das Essen war qualitativ sehr gut, das Fleisch top und auf den Punkt gegart und zusammen mit den Beilagen preislich angemessen. Zu den Beilagen: Angenehm empfanden wir, dass zum Steak "nur" gemischter Salat gereicht wird und man sich für geringen Aufpreis weitere Beilagen nach Wahl dazu bestellen kann. So hat jeder etwas Individualität, ohne dass die Speisekarte unnötig aufgebläht wird. Zum Ambiente: Wir konnten im hinteren Außenbereich an der efeubewachsenen Stadtmauer sitzen. Abgeschirmt vom größten Lärm und windgeschützt. Sehr schön. Vielen Dank und gerne wieder!

Innen ist es ein sehr schönes Lokal mit einem tollen Charme und Steakhouse Atmosphäre. Die Bedienungen sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Offene Küche, man kann sehen, wie alles gekocht, gegrillt wird. Die Steaks waren sehr, sehr lecker. Ebenso die Beilagen. Immer wieder sehr gerne.

Das essen was wir bestellt hatten war heiß gut zubereitet und lecker .Das Burgerfleisch war nach Wunsch gegrillt. Beilagen waren frisch und ausreichend.

Omg - the food was mind blowing. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures to show you (we ate it all so quickly, because it was so good)! The “Filetsteak” is the best! But everything else like the “Tataki” or the “Steakhouse Burger” are soo good, too! Staff is beyond friendly and tries to read you wishes from your eyes! I love this restaurant and would recommend it to everyone, who loves meat!

Gutes Steakhouse in absolut zentraler Lage von Jena. Wir waren spontan zu siebt, ohne Reservierung, vor Ort und konnten im Nebenzimmer noch einen Tisch ergattern. Nettes und aufmerksames Personal und tolles Essen zu angemessenen Preisen. Wir kommen wieder beim nächsten Besuch in Jena!

Das Restaurant bietet für 100 Personen Platz. Allerdings sollte man am Wochenende oder bei Platzbedarf für Gruppen größer 6 Personen , Plätze reservieren. Das Steak war sehr gut .Die Bedienungen freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Preise für die angebotenen Speisen und Getränke ok.

Ohne Reservierung, am Wochenende zur Besten Essenszeit, ein Tisch für 3 Personen...es wurde möglich gemacht! Wir bekamen einen Tisch in...
