We thought it was a regular sit-down type of restaurant when we first popped in before we realized…read moreit was just a much nicer fast food burger joint than we had back home. The menu isn't super descriptive and I don't speak German, but I was able to make out some of it from the online menu and photos. I got the regular size (one patty) JB Champignon, which came with mushrooms, cheese, and sautéed onions. I decided to make it a combo with their freshly made lemonade and garlic bread instead of fries, because I had never seen it as a side to a burger before (not thinking there would be an excessive amount of bread). I'm a big eater but the burger turned out to be larger and wider than I had expected, so I was glad I only got the one patty instead of two. These are the kind of burgers you might want to eat with a fork and knife! The burger also came with lettuce and, unexpectedly, this creamy, mayo-based type of sauce, which was good but got to be overwhelming and very heavy near the end. I ended up scraping some of the sauce off the bun and then later gave up on the bun to eat most the garlic bread instead. Like some other restaurants in Europe, my husband had to pay extra for ketchup, which was their own chain brand that came in a big packet. I also took a couple sips of his Fritz-kola, which is a soda brand made in Hamburg. My husband was also very stuffed with meal (I think he got a two-patty JB BBQ, but I can't remember). We were both really impressed with some of the people around us who were licking their plates clean. It seemed to be a pretty good bang for your buck, though more expensive for us in general with the conversion rates from Canadian into Euros. Clean washrooms, quick and fast service, less waste because of the real cutlery and plates they give you - I can see why this place/chain is so popular!

I definitely see the appeal here. I feel like it's more for the masses...think McDonald's, German…read morestyle. And actually the burgers and fries do very much taste similar to that of McDonald's, in my opinion anyway. Even the advertising is in line with that of McDonald's as they advertise huge massive burgers, but in reality you get a thin, perfectly cylindrical and over-seasoned hamburger patty, flat mass-produced buns and misc. toppings...but at least it tastes pretty good. Again...think McDonald's but at twice or three times the price wherever you come from. If you are a visitor of Hamburg, please do not believe those that say it's the best in our city! There are many more better offerings in Hamburg. Overall, 2.5 stars. Will you ever see me there again? Not if it's my choice. I won't deny that I thought it was pretty good, but I was disappointed overall. If anything really, it has seriously deterred me from wanting to try Block House.

Jim Block used to be my favourite burger in Hamburg, but I've gone off the place recently. They…read moredisplay very little care putting their burgers together. The only things that sets them apart from other fast food burger joints is a) the higher price b) you get a plate c) the ingredients are of a slightly higher quality If you want a burger, are sick of the American chains, and don't want to spend the time to go to a real restaurant, then this is Jim Block's niche. You get a decent burger, no more

The space feels clean, but they don't clean desks after diners, even during slow hours. Quality is ok, but nothing to write home about. Aptly, price is halfway between McD and a proper burger restaurant. They could be a little more generous with the fries.

On the burgers is some sauce that is yummy, lettuce and tomato. It is messy with hands, and I saw a lot of people eating burgers with knife/fork. Total Bill was 24 Euro. They only give 1 napkin per meal... I'll ask for more next time. The place is very clean. The patrons were mostly adults and variety of type of people. We had 2 kids and we were the only kids in the place. You order at the register and then go back and grab the food. The guy at the register spoke some English and had a small attitude (thus no 5 star). Definitely a place worth the try.

The food was hot and even the fries were crispy. The burger was tasty and had fresh ingredients. The last time I ordered there, I had a burger that is not going to be my favorite, but thats because I like my burgers simple and just with cheese and vegetables. I would say it's a solid burger, but you just can't compare it to really good burger like at In-n-out. The diner itself is held in a 60's style, red furniture and chrome. It's a nice place to get a bite to eat.

There's something magical about the fries because it seemed like it had something on the outside to give it an extra crunch! We saw this place last October when we went to eat at the Korean joint next door and saw a huge line. We didn't have time to get back to the area to see what the hype was all about so we made it a point to come here the first night we arrived into Hamburg and were NOT disappointed! You can choose to sit outside or inside. We really wanted to sit outside but ended up inside because I'm scared of birds but thankfully because the weather hasn't warmed up yet, it felt great inside as well!
