I know why everyone recommends Frau Möller! Well deserved!…read more A bit gruff and very crowded at lunch, but for good reason. Ice cold delicious beer and hot authentic local German food. Our waitress was fluent in English and made us feel welcome in a "so you're not from around her, but that's okay, sit here" kind of way.... Very pleasant! The beer was plentiful and ice cold, and we had the Wienerschnitzel (I know... cliché, but oh so good!), and it came out fast, hot and delicious. Also, for French Fries fans... these were thin, hot and crispy! (Not a big fan of soft fries/chips). Right near the train station for a meal before you travel, or while you're waiting to check into your hotel. We'll be back!

This place is hard to review. The vibe and the atmosphere weree 4.5 *'s - as other reviewers have…read moresaid, it's a pleasantly unpretentious place. The food was about 2 *'s and it's definitely a case of quality over quantity. I got currywurst - the curry sauce tasted bottled, and the sausage wasn't well cooked. My kids got schnitzel and they said it was "mid". Honestly I think German food kind of caps out at 4 *'s - there's only so much you can do with boiled potatoes and kraut and sausages.

Erikas Eck is a true Hamburg original! This place does not…read morewant to be hip or follow any trends they just focus on providing very good traditional (northern) german food. That's probably the only downside for me as I am vegetarian and they lack a bit in that department but I always get the "Bauernfrühstück" without the ham. This is basically an Omelette with potatoes and pickled cucumbers on top and it taste just like I remember it from my childhood, so just for that I go there ... I am sure they even have more dishes that are vegetarian but I never tried. The most special thing will be their opening hours as their kitchen is open all night long which makes the place also popular among party people also there is a table reserved for cab drivers.

Authentic German food and vibe…read more It was late on a week night and I found this place on Google and decided to try it. You can see this place has the dark, wooden decor and is rather small inside. However, the schnitzel was served hot and the taste was authentic "German." The fried potatoes were loaded with bacon and onions and were also served hot. Of course, I had a nice German Pils to top it all off with.

Seafood plays a big role in the cuisine of this North German city, and the Hamburger Tapas came with three toasted baguette slices, each with a different topping: smoked salmon with horseradish, pickled herring, and my favorite, North Sea crab salad in a creamy dressing. Another classic (and unique) dish of the region is known as Labskaus, made with salted beef puréed with beets, topped with a fried egg with a runny yolk, and served with sliced beets and a pickle. The puréed meat was served warm and had a distinct pink color from the beets, but was otherwise not a particularly outstanding culinary creation. The service here, while warm and friendly, was inexplicably slow, and our simple dishes took quite a long time to be prepared.

High quality, delicious meat and sides. I ordered the rinderbraten oder (salted beef) with gravy,…read morered cabbage, and krout. Each plate (you can choose large or normal sized) come with two sides. The choices are side salad, mashed or diced potatoes, red cabbage, and krout. The red cabbage and krout were sweeter than most I've tried. I particularly enjoyed the krout and was told it's both "sour and sweet" krout. There are also three types of mustard: süß (meaning sweet, seemed like a honey mustard), and scharf (meaning sharp, very strong) and mittel-scharf (meaning medium-sharp, still very strong).

Yum! One of the better values since I've been in Hamburg…read more I got the Schweinebraten (roast pork. DAT SKIN DOE.), mashed potatoes, and sauerkraut. You can either get a small or large portion, though there wasn't too big of a difference between the two. The small seems to be good enough. They spoke English here. :) DAS GOOT.
