Zum Schwarzen Bären in Wangerland

Perfect all around. Food great, service super polite and accommodating. Cozy atmosphere. Absolutely recommended.

We have been here several times. Even on New Year's Day, despite the full house, very good food with a reasonable waiting time. The staff friendly as usual. A great evening. We'd love to come back. Update 11/24. Consistently good.

Very good food, fantastic service, funny understanding waiter. Gladly again!

Food top class, service great. Ambience class. I can only recommend it.

Restaurant with a special flair, located directly at the “Old Harbor” in Hooksiel. Reserved a table for two by phone. The reserved table with comfortable semi-circular sofa is very nice. The waiter very nice and polite. Another one from the old school. My dish with different types of herring was beautifully prepared. Here's a shout out to the cook. After dinner we took a tour across the street in the “Old Harbor” which rounded off our stay there.

Very nice restaurant. Good food and very nice staff

Super recommended! We came here spontaneously. When we asked 'can we eat outside, it's such a beautiful autumn evening' we were answered 'yes, but we haven't tidied up and cleaned everything'. That was complete nonsense. Except for wiping the table, everything was perfectly prepared. The service is very good and authentic. Totally nice and goes out of his way to make the guests unforgettable. Great selection of food. The fish platter for 2 people is highly recommended. Great compilation and perfectly prepared. It remains to be hoped that this old restaurant will be preserved for a long time, that successors will be found who will maintain the standard and avoid the coming economic difficulties in the tourism industry. We will definitely come back.

The Black Bear Restaurant welcomes its guests with a positive external and internal impression. The ambience appears warm and home-style. Some of the interior seems to be getting old. Chairs and tables were ok, everything was set invitingly. The service was flexible and assigned us a suitable table without a reservation. The food was good, although the meat dishes were very tasty and warm. The fried potatoes were good but unfortunately not really warm anymore. Some of the mushrooms were not very seasoned, what didn't work at all was the hollondaise sauce, which was probably made from the package. That doesn't live up to the restaurant's standards. At this point we would like to point out that from our point of view we have just achieved 4* instead of just three. The service was attentive but sometimes felt overwhelmed, especially with children. Overall it was nice, dignified and clean. Value for money just about right.

Perfect for eating fish, we come back regularly!

First of all I would like to say that we ate well! I ordered a grape juice and a still water because I don't want a juice spritzer and then I get 1 glass with the water bottle and the juice in a jug without a glass... the waiter thought I wanted to mix... after we asked for a glass with the juice... If I order water with it, does the wine have to be drunk from the bottle??? I made a special reorder because I can't tolerate champions!!! What do you find in the salad...2 small canned mushrooms!!! On the outside of the house there is a sign from DEHOGA (German Hotel and Restaurant Association). How to get it, please google it!!! Next to it is the menu box, in it a white cloth napkin with about 225 dead mosquitoes!!! Lamps hang above the tables and need to be cleaned inside. Not to write bad about this place, but in this price range it could be cleaner, so lovingly dropped cones don't help either

Simply: mega Fish: Great Ate rump steak today: very, very good

Were there twice on vacation. What was positive was that the waiter changed the tablecloth every time after a guest left the restaurant. The food itself was very good, regardless of whether it was fish or meat. Definitely worth the price, and nice to see that the first room on the right when you come in still looks the same as it did 40 years ago (except that the entrance from the front of the house has been moved to the side)

A really great, highly recommended restaurant. However, it is advisable to reserve a table.

A very beautiful, traditional jug immediately!! at the old harbor in Hooksiel. Excellent food and service today, like 20 years ago🍀

This restaurant is worth a visit, the food is first class and the service is more than good. It should be mentioned here that the staff has noticeably learned and internalized the job. Close to the guest without being intrusive. We were pleasantly surprised and definitely won't be there for the last time.

When we go to the North Sea coast, we stop at the Black Bear in Hooksiel. The fish and meat dishes are excellent. The service is courteous and friendly and the atmosphere in the Friesenstube is very nice. Note: Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has already been here: It's worth it!

Very good cuisine! Was worth a big detour. Nice, rustic atmosphere. Unfortunately no adequate selection of desserts.

A very nice restaurant where food tastes really good The two waiters were great, really old school Definitely worth a visit

Hier wird noch richtig gekocht und nicht nur erwärmt wie bei so mancher Konkurrenz. In Hooksiel mit Abstand die beste Wahl, wenn man ein Speiselokal sucht und es schmecken soll. Bedienung und Ambiente stimmen auch. Deshalb: Absolut empfehlenswert.

A 10 star restaurant! We go there at least once every time we go to the coast. This quality and very reasonable price - simply a highlight every time!

Zum Essen kann ich nur sagen, dass es ok war. Normaler Standard. Qualität na ja… Die ausgefallenen Kreationen in der Vorspeise und in der Nachspeise haben mich nicht begeistert. Geschmacksache. Mich hat eher die Bedienung enttäuscht, ständig hatte ich den Arm im Gesicht beim auf- und abdecken und unhöflich wurde man ebenfalls von einem Auszubildenden behandelt. Außerdem halte ich nichts davon, die Auszubildenden in einem nicht zeitgemäßen Ton vor den Gästen zu korrigieren. Das geht heutzutage anders!

It was a wonderful evening at the Black Bear. I visited the restaurant with my parents. As a starter we chose Klostermann's round trip and the Frisian herring surprise. For the main course we decided on the Black Teddy fish platter and three kinds of veal. As a light accompaniment to the meal, we drank a Pinot Gris. The wine list is well thought out, it just fits. I am thrilled with the restaurant, the great food and the Klostermann family. There is a master chef working here who knows what he is doing. Service here really is service. You can immediately feel that this is a traditional, family-run restaurant. Great, we'll be back!

High quality products, friendly service and nice waiters. Food was delicious.

Very good service food top price performance

Great restaurant. I can only recommend it. The food tasted great.

The food was very tasty, the service was excellent...the ambience of the beer garden was also good...the inside was cozy and cozy...we'll be back

Great atmosphere, the hosts are very friendly, very attentive to the guests

Very tasty food, nice service and pleasant atmosphere, highly recommended

The Black Teddy fish platter is highly recommended. Otherwise we were very satisfied with the service and the food.

I haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time. The service was great, the food prepared with a lot of love. The fish was extremely tender, as recommended by the service. Nice idea to create the fish with fruit and cheese, everything was perfect. Thank you for that.

Very tasty meal. Friendly and quick service. Very attentive staff and the fish platter was a poem. We'd be happy to come back when we're in the area.

We had dinner here and everything was great! Nice service and the fish platter for two (black teddy, I think) was great! More than enough for two people. It was the perfect end to our short vacation.

We had a place outside in the “beer garden” with our four-legged friends. I ordered the schnitzel, which was unfortunately greasy, tasteless mushrooms with very little sauce. My partner had fish, which was good, but the fried potatoes were very tasteless and greasy. The orders came quickly. Unfortunately, as a “younger” person you don’t have the feeling that you fit in there (from above). We also had a bad experience because a waiter stepped on our dog's right hind leg and didn't even apologize for it, instead he didn't come out as a condition, after which our dog was limping. The boss herself was “shocked” and would have accommodated us if it had been worse.

Very good, nothing more needs to be said. Keep it up.

Were there for the first time today. After a long wait, the drinks were finally picked up, delivered 20 minutes later, then the food was picked up and again it was time to wait, wait and wait some more. Other guests came after us and left before us. The waiter's “excuse” was that we had a starter. In the end, we were there for a good two hours and had a very nice meal, but the service was useless and incapable of service. If you are understaffed, there would be the possibility of occupying fewer tables and showing understanding for the customers or explaining yourself properly.

Courteous, excellent service with very good food. A look inside especially invites you to linger. The outdoor area, located at the historic lock of the harbor, is also an eye-catcher. All in all a nice place to enjoy the local cuisine in the evening.

Food good, fish good, not particularly refined. Price ok, service could be friendlier. Great outdoor tent...

Very great shop, very tasty food and great service

Das Essen war wie gewohnt gut. Die Bedienung wenig kundenorientiert und z.T. herablassend arrogant,mit Ausnahme des Auszubildenden. Die Livree kaschiert nicht die fehlende Kompetenz!

The food was good. The service was arrogant and not very friendly. Only the trainee was friendly and customer-oriented. The livery of the waiters does not necessarily guarantee competent service.

Historic, beautiful restaurant right at the old harbor in Hooksiel. There are many classic dishes here. We won a crab soup as part of the crab days at the WWHS club's Glückstadt and were able to enjoy it here. It was very creamy, flavorful and beautifully presented! The staff were friendly and helpful.

Delicious, friendly service, great as usual.

Food very tasty and rich. I can only recommend it, really great. Staff very friendly.

Sehr schönes und gemütliches Restaurant; grosse Speiseauswahl; sehr nette Bedienung (vor allem ältere Kellner war sehr bemüht, dass alles passte und er war sehr nett); die Speisen waren alle sehr lecker und grosszügig; Preis-/Leistung stimmt; wurden zu Beginn darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass infolge Personalmangels mit Wartezeiten zu rechnen sein, was uns aber im Urlaub überhaupt nicht störte; schönes Ambiente - können das Lokal absolut weiterempfehlen

We recommend. We had the fish platter for 2 people. It was rich and delicious. Nice ambience. We'd love to come back ☺️

Nice ambience; large selection of dishes; very nice service; fine and rich food; can absolutely recommend the black bear

We have been to the Bären several times now and it has always been good - or very good! Next week we will be back in Hooksiel and will go out to dinner again - this time with our grandchildren. We can highly recommend the bear!

We had a lovely meal. The service was very nice and attentive. Excellent.

Been there again for a long time. And to put it bluntly, it was excellent. The service was outstanding, the choice of food was remarkable and the food was simply delicious. The overall picture is rounded off by the cozy atmosphere in the restaurant.

Update 07/2023: You haven't been to the best restaurant in Hooksiel yet? Then you haven't been to the Black Bear yet! We have been here twice so far in 2023 (with our dog) and each time we got a place without a reservation. The food: a fine menu that reads as well as the food tastes! Here the chef really knows his craft and doesn't just mix convenience products. Whether meat or fish, vegetarian or dessert: it simply tastes delicious, the ingredients are of high quality and the attentive service matches it, as does the price level, which is no longer lower elsewhere. So let's go! ***** An absolute recommendation if you want to eat something delicious in a rustic atmosphere.***** Tip: if the weather is good, we recommend making a reservation if you want to sit outside. …………………………… Update 07-2022: This year we were again in the Black Bear. Without a reservation, I was still warmly welcomed and seated :) As in previous years, the food was very good again. Here someone knows their craft in the kitchen (including vegan dishes). The same applies to the service. We'd love to come back any time! ________________________________ We were here for the second time in two years and it was great. Price/performance ratio is right, service is attentive, food (fish platter for 2) is very good. Our dog was also welcome. What more do you want? A quaint restaurant with a nice atmosphere. We would be happy to come back on our next vacation.

Fine dining. Down-to-earth but imaginative preparation of the dishes. Individual and delicious. The prices are appropriate for the quality. Fabric tablecloths and napkins complete the feel-good atmosphere. You will be served by well-trained and friendly staff.

Beautiful restaurant with very tastefully prepared food. We always enjoy coming back.

Rarely have we eaten so well, everything is fresh and tasty. Top service and very friendly. The prices are cheap for this quality.

Very good restsurant with a nice atmosphere. I was there a month ago and loved it. The food was A1 and the service.

Really a very nice inn. Good food at fair prices. Great service, very nice. It's a shame that something like this doesn't happen more often in Hooksiel.

Great food, friendly service, reasonable price - gladly again.

A very nice restaurant with excellent service. There is only one vegan dish, but it is well thought out and not run-of-the-mill, as is the case in many “classic” restaurants. I will gladly come again :)

Exactly to my taste and I love sitting on the typical fresh kitchen sofas while eating.

Just a nice restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Very nice, competent staff and delicious food at fair prices.

The eye eats with... Frizzy and stained tablecloth plus crumbs, not nice. Ordered rum steak, it came with a lot of pepper, but it doesn't say so on the menu. Beef broth very tasty.

Very tasty food and great staff. Special requests will be addressed immediately. Always happy to come back.

I enjoyed the food very much. The ambience is also very nice and nice staff.

Ate wonderfully. Very tasty fish dishes but not only! Meat lovers and vegetarians also have a good selection. Chic Frisian atmosphere. Extremely warm and attentive service. We'd love to come back

We were invited to a celebration and didn't regret coming from Aurich! A lovingly furnished restaurant welcomed us with its friendly staff! From the first moment we felt at home there! The food (fish in different variations) was exactly what the house promised! We are still thrilled the next day! It's a shame that you're so far away, so unfortunately we can only come by every now and then! But that's for sure and promised!!

A highly recommended restaurant with very good service.

Very tasty food, reasonable prices, nice staff, cozy atmosphere. Recommendation!!

We had Nienburg asparagus with schnitzel and triplets as well as grilled chicken breast stuffed with prunes, broccoli and pepper-ginger risotto. Everything was very tasty and recommended. The service was extremely friendly and you immediately felt welcome and at home. It's mid-May, we were sitting outside under a pavilion and had plenty of space. After 7:00 p.m. most visitors were already in their apartments and hotels.

Unfortunately we didn't even get to order food. We made reservations in advance by phone for six adults, a toddler, a baby in a stroller and a dog. For this we were seated at a relatively small table and we were told to put our baby in the carriage in the wardrobe opposite, as it would "otherwise be a nuisance". Our 2-year-old son threw his TipToi pen on the floor out of impatience. A guest at the next table was upset about this and unfortunately didn't calm down even after several apologies. One of the waitresses probably wanted to mediate and then asked what “the devil” (our son) had done and grabbed his neck without asking. The expression and touching of our child then made us get up and want to leave. The waitress assured us that it was only meant to be nice, although we countered that there was nothing nice about such expression. We were dismissed with the words that “you can’t say anything to today’s mothers.” The bottom line is that we were disappointed and upset about this behavior because the four guests at the table next door felt like they had a larger table than us and we didn't feel very welcome.

At the beginning of May I was in the restaurant with 6 people and ordered schnitzel beans off the menu. Including myself, there were 7 of us and we were impassively enthusiastic about the dish that Mr. Klostermann had prepared for us. The chef deserves the highest praise, as does the service. Next time I will ask you to make savoy cabbage stew. Uwe Baumann

Yes. A really very good restaurant.

After we reserved a table for 13 people three months ago to celebrate my father's birthday and we couldn't choose the time, two separate tables awaited us today. To our irritated looks, the reaction was: "The tables are next to each other" and when we asked why we couldn't sit at the same table, the answer was: "They couldn't have done that in time." We then offered to push the tables together ourselves and the staff were unfriendly and inflexible. We didn't want to celebrate our 70th birthday that way and we can't recommend it.

Very cozy, really nice staff and incredibly good food! You're happy to pay a euro more. 😀

Recommendation. Good restaurant, friendly staff, varied cuisine.

We ate a fish plate for 2 people there. This was very tasty. Service was good

There is Frisian coziness/hospitality here! The typical local atmosphere invites you to relax. The nicely prepared dishes pamper the palate. The black bear is worth a visit!!!

Very good food. Price/performance fits. Very friendly staff.

The best three kinds of veal I've eaten in my life. The people so sweet and friendly. A wonderful evening.

Old building, it's tight inside.

The best schnitzel far and wide, courteous service, delicious Zwickel beer on tap. Always happy to come here.

Higher priced but very good cuisine with great service in a stylish atmosphere

Very lovingly furnished, decorated with historical background and pictures

Great ambience. Very comfortable and well maintained. Class service. This also applies to the trainee! Ate the fish soup/fish variations. Terrific! The desserts were also worth the visit. Price/performance ratio fits. Gladly again!

Very nice restaurant! Was here with my son and daughter. The food was excellent. We recommend!

I went here for lunch with friends on the occasion of my 80th birthday. We arrived at a beautifully set table, charger plates, decorations, etc. were arranged in an exemplary manner, menu cards were laid out for each seat. The service, the menu and everything else like wines etc. were exemplary. The service staff was professional and friendly. All in all it was a real treat.

The food and the staff are really good. Super tasty and you can also take your dog inside. A big plus point for us. I recommend the monthly menu! It was really great

We recommend. Classic, long-established restaurant with attentive and professional service. High quality food, excellently prepared at an acceptable/fair price. Both the wild boar roast from the daily menu and the vegetarian dishes from the regular menu are very tasty!

We've been there on and off for years: cozy atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food, changing the side dishes is no problem, the price-performance ratio is right, we haven't even been dissatisfied so far.

Quaint restaurant, great food, great service. We will be back and can only recommend it

Really very good, fresh food and very warm, friendly service. The house itself is very nice, but unfortunately a bit too cluttered with unnecessary knick-knacks. Declutter generously once and it would be a dream. 😀

Food: Pork loin very tasty, very well seasoned. Unfortunately, the fried potatoes were a little wobbly. Staff very friendly and competent. Gladly again !!

Had dinner there on New Year's Eve, the food was excellent, the service was very nice and attentive. The price-performance ratio is definitely right

We were invited today, it was super delicious! An excellent red cabbage soup, high-quality fish and super tender meat, the dessert was the highlight! Thank you

The worst steak I've ever eaten, when I mentioned it, they just shook their head and responded... Very bad customer service...and another 30 euros.....no.go...

A very nice restaurant. The decor is very nice. Food was also very tasty 👍🏻

Top maritime flair in the style of an old captain's house. Service very attentive, nice menu.

Schon ein sehr gediegenes Restaurant für einen Urlaubsort

Sehr leckere Küche mit sehr freundlichem Personal und tollem Ambiente! Die Atmosphäre lädt zum gemütlichen Sitzen ein.

Einschließlich Service kann ich die Note sehr gut geben. Ich habe mich dort sehr wohl hefühlt!👍👍👍

Essen auf Sterne Niveau. Bedienung äußerst zuvorkommend und kinderfreundlich! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder

Unglaublich gute Küche!!! Egal ob Fisch oder Fleisch beides sehr zu empfehlen!!!
