My wife is Guyanese and she's always telling me about Germans Soup from Georgetown Guyana and I have to say I was not disappointed. The restaurant is clean, the staff is nice, the ambiance is nice, the music not too loud and did I mention it's clean. All the food is on display so it's easy for you to choose exactly what you want. I love coming here. read more

I ordered via DoorDash since I'm home sick and wanted some soup. I ordered Mixed soup - enjoyed the provisions but found it to be a bit bland and there was no beef which should have been included. Cow heel was tender as was the chicken and chicken feet. Cheese roll - dry Sorrel - was fine read more

German's Soup - Was chicken foot soup ,OMG! - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you get what they're known for (soup) and are open to trying new things (cow heel & chicken foot) then this place is amazing. Soups are yummy and taste good. read more

Ate the food for dinner and had one of their drinks and woke up in the middle of the night with the most aggressive case of food poisoning I have ever experienced. I not iced the food didn't taste good, but assumed it was just bad, didn't realize it was so bad it would make me sick. Awful. read more

I really didn't want to do this, but after going in and trying to see if they could do something, I had to do this. I've supported them since down on church and their soup is something to look forward to. After a long work day, long flight, just anything, they were something to look forward to as long as they were open. Today though, they had mostly bones in the soup. There's usually a variety of provisions, but today, something was off. So I went back in to see if it could be fixed after taking a few sips of broth and realizing there wasn't a piece of chicken in a $8 cup of chicken soup. From my previous visits, you can see how they prepare the soup, they just throw the meat and provisions you want into the plain broth when preparing your order. Meaning she purposely put those bones in the cup lol When I asked AND showed the server the bones one looked sorry and the other basically said thats what it's supposed to be, chicken parts... with no meat on it.. I've been here more than I could count and never felt like this. That's why I'm even giving 2 stars.. Sadly, they lost another customer today, not that they cared. Do better, esp for your people . read more

I pulled up to the old location and called to find out they moved to 410 Utica! Here I come, lol it's that good. Worth going a little out of my way. I'm even waiting 10 mins for fresh polouri to be done. The new space is more open, inviting, less cramped, I love it. Of course while here a customer comes in maskless, no one said anything, he was served and since left. I almost said something but I think he was Rasta and I doubt my words would've mattered. Oh well! Welcome to Brooklyn. Sat my masked up ass down and will wait patiently for my food. read more

Thought the 11$ price for a small soup was steep but decided to give it a try anyways. Soup is decent but not the best and I was disappointed that at the Price point they didn't even fill the container. Unfortunately I won't be going back. read more

It's hot outside. Only folks from the Caribbean will understand that Soup is all year round, when your sick, for lunch, sore throat, hearty and rich (in taste). My expectations for soup always come from my family. We are Panamanian and our soup is A 1. Walked in German Soups and it wasn't busy so I was happy I could order and go. I got the cowfoot soup. The small size was $9 and the large was $10. No Brainier , I went with the Large. I normally like my soup pipping hot. It could have been warmer. The soup needed more veggies and provisions. For $10 , it was mainly broth. Their hot sauce did not pair well with the soup so it's a great thing I always carry my own hot sauce with me. I'm going to save the broth (since it's a half a cup left after eating all the minimal items in the Soup). I plan on adding some spinach and carrots when I get home. But why?? I will return...With specific instructions for more veggies and provisions. read more

My family spoke about Germans Soup when they had just opened. I never tried it however today Sandhills did not have any soup so I decided to try Germans. I've never had Cowfoot soup as bad as this! It was horrible!! They seem to be in this business for the money and not the quality of delivering a top notch product. My very first and very last!! How do you expect to have a following when you serve your customers spoiled food. So sad! Cute smile from the young lady that served me. The Ambiance was nice, clean and empty. read more

First off let me start by saying I have been to the original Germans Location in Georgetown Guyana on New Market Street so when I found out that they were opening up a location in Brooklyn (where I live) I was SOO happy. If you want to experience REAL authentic curry chicken then look no further Yes , they are known for the soups which is delicious btw. They even have PEPPER POT which is like the holy grail for any Guyanese and traditionally served for Christmas but they have it all year round. I really can't complain I haven't gotten a chance to visit the location yet but I have ordered on Uber eats many times. I recommend it to everyone read more

This rating is for their food. Not their soup. The soup gets 5 stars but the food gets 1 star. Seems like they recently added blackened whiting to the menu, forgot to tell me and added it to my order when I asked for fried whiting. They were so clever sneaking in the burnt, I mean blackened fish that they had the blackened side turned downward atop some very dried cook-up-rice. The food and presentation was horrible! Seriously folks, WHAT IS THIS? I wouldn't serve this to a stray dog. Stuuups. Lesson learned I'm only returning for their soup NOTHING else. read more

This rating is not for the food . I think this place is pretty kool and food taste awesome . I have frequent here often and find it to be very homely . With that's being said I believe it's best you order your food online cause attitude in this place on point ! I know my review to a Guyanese spot is meaningless and the staff would say just don't come here but I believe the customer service makes the food Taste differently . Oh well .. I guess it's back to Linda"s. read more

Not sure why this restaurant is on Uber Eats. I last ordered in April and half of the menu isnt available no matter what time you order. That first order included a roti which they must have microwaved and by the time it got to me it was as crisp and hard as a biscuit. Too bad because as a Guyanese the menu is amazing. read more

Stopped in after a long day, and I'm happy did!. I decided on the cow heel soup and was given a complimentary chicken soup as well, much to my surprise! Service was friendly, quick, and efficient. The soups were quite tasty , lots of meat, and I'm certain I'll be returning again soon. read more

I went to Germans on a Friday evening after work around 7:00pm with a friend. There were about two people ahead of us in line. We came there specifically for soup. I ordered the large cowheel and a large chicken. My friend ordered the large cowheel as well; though we both pondered on the beef soup. While pondering on line I noticed the art on the wall: an old school photograph blown up of Germans back in the day, I'm guessing Guyana. I thought that was cute. This is a takeout spot although there is a large communal table in the center of the restaurant seating 6-8. It isn't immediate service, you wait for the number on your receipt to be called. I tasted both soups and I was quite impressed. They are hearty, seasoned well and just all around good and filling. Exactly what you'd like a great homemade soup to be. So, although it's not necessarily eat in restaurant (you could snag a spot and nosh if necessary) and there is a wait I still give 5 stars for the taste and value (large is large). read more

I stopped by this establishment a month again then again last week Monday because I wanted to make sure my review on this establishment wasn't due because I was super hungry. OMG- shhhh, don't tell my mum, but German's Soup is better than my hers and my mum is an excellent cook (not because she's my mum). I've never tasted Soup like this....I wasn't disappointed with the soup that I returned with family and friends who loved the soup as well. Not to mention the Excellent service provided. If you're ever in the East-Flatbush area, stop by this establishment and try the soup. read more

This wasn't what I was expecting. The internet calls this place "legendary " and there was good business the day I came. Maybe I didn't order it's most promising items. I got the beef soup and the pepperpot meal and mauby drink. I thought the meat was too dry and I did not enjoy it. The sauce was sweet, which is not what I was expecting either. I thought it would be peppery but it was not but rather clove-y. The soup was different but did not taste different. What I mean is that the ingredients were different but for some reason could have passed for any generic American soup. It wasn't that it was bad, just boring. The portions are large and it's a good deal for someone wanting a homey, filling meal, but just not for me. read more

German's Soup - Beef soup and pepper pot meal - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

UPDATE: Decided to come in for lunch today and I got to the register trying to decide whether I want shrimp lo mein or barbecue chicken and fried rice. I got the barbecue chicken just because last time it was seasoned and flavored well. This time around the rice was lacking salt. I was seasoned but just needed salt to give it more. The barbecue chicken was terrible: the chicken didn't taste seasoned to me, it was most definitely burnt. Some pieces were super hard to break and chewy. Not to mention that the taste of the chicken was just like eating burnt chicken. Had to change my rating from a 4 to a 3. read more

IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE A DATE THAT DOES NOT PUT OUT GO TO THIS PLACE!!!! I am very disappointed with this restaurant, I recently tried one of there dishes and it was amazing. However I've been craving to try their Peper pot. For two weeks I've called to ask when they would have it available in addition to that i also waited a extra day in town with a friend to try it, after i was told it would be available the next day only to be further disappointed and upset in front of friends that its not available....... yet again. WHY HAVE THINGS ON THE MENU IF ITS NOT PREPARED. read more

I stopped into this restaurant a couple of weeks ago and ordered the chicken lo-mein and I enjoyed it even though the lo-mein was a bit to overcooked it still tasted good plus since it was my first time ordering their food I was given a complimentary soup which I thought was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back again for some of that soup and maybe even try something different from the many delicious selections. read more

June 27, 2018 was a bit cold and rainy in New York and seemed like the perfect time to try German's soup. I packed the car with my family and took the 30 minute drive to Brooklyn. When we arrived at the location at 4pm we were a bit disappointed to hear that the only soup available was the chicken soup, as we all had our mind set on the beef soup. Anyway, as it was the only soup option available at the time we ordered 2 large chicken soups. After the gentleman in line behind us made his order it was announced that all of the soup was done. Had I arrived one minute later than I did I would have been totally disappointed. As far as the taste of the chicken soup that I received, it was as expected. My order of soup contained some plantain, a dumpling, a piece of corn and a few pieces of chicken. My sister's order, on the other hand, only had some chicken bones and a piece of dumpling. It is quite disappointing when a soup shop doesn't have soup. I hope that the business will be able to work out the kinks in their process so that they can keep up with the demand. If I am in the neighborhood, and feel the need for soup I will definitely give German's Soup another try, but I won't be making a 30 minute drive to Brooklyn just for that. read more

I was looking for a place to have some soup I figured I'd give them a try, I asked the woman taking my order if the vegetable soup was hearty/thick or was the broth watery? she said the soup was "regular like regular soup" I was turned off by her already! However I ordered the veggie soup. I move on and ask her about something else, she gave me a rude generic answer. My husband said "nope we aren't eating here". We drove from the other side of BK to try this place out, paid the dag on meter to park and had to deal with "Rudy" and her nasty attitude! Customer service is so important, It really is! I gave this spot two stars because the vegetable soup was good, it was hearty and filling I enjoyed it in the car. It would have been nice if my husband and I could have enjoyed some food at the spot, however he stuck to what he knows. He drove down to Royal cuisine yard food and was very satisfied they never disappoint! read more

I've heard of German's soup for years and yes it lived up to its reputation. I always get the vegetable soup, but I have friends who would kill for the beef soup, so when I buy mine I always have to get extra for friends. The amount is so hearty you can eat one portion twice. And, OMG the curried snapper is to die for I thought I could have two servings of that, but I had to pretend something was wrong so I didn't have to share and ate it all by myself LOL! read more

My husband wanted chicken soup and we were told it would be delivered at 9 pm after ordering it at 8:15 pm through GrubHub. We called 3 times and they still didn't have a driver to deliver the meal. After 1 1/2 hours, we called and they said it might be another half hour before it gets delivered. GrubHub refunded our meal and gave us a discount for our next meal, not at German's Soup. read more

I ordered soup yesterday around 2pm through GrubHub but the food never arrived. After waiting over 1.5 hours I called them, as did GrubHub, but we couldn't get through to anyone. Ultimately, we never heard from them, never received our soup, and GrubHub issued us a refund. read more
