De Heeren van Soetermeer in Centrum

Had a delicious meal for a good price

Delicious food and super good staff, they really know what they are talking about and are quick to take drink orders. Top service and food, definitely recommended!

For the first time, a failing grade. Not for the service, which was top-notch! But when the chef started convincing us at the table that there was nothing wrong with the pulled pork (he did admit there was a strange smell at the table, but well, not every pig is the same...), that is when we decided never to come back.

This restaurant is severely underrated. The food is good, the service is good, and the location in the garden (or inside) is also top-notch. A solid 5.

Top-notch place!!! I've been coming here for years. It's wonderful to feel welcome. Fons is super warm and hospitable!!! The food is sublime. Some of the waitresses have been working there for years and that speaks volumes!!!! Perfect place for a delicious and atmospheric meal!! Thanks Fons!!!

The food was really delicious! Our waitress Nina was very helpful and friendly. The owner Fons also came over for a nice chat with us. Definitely recommended😛

Had a delicious charcuterie board, top owner! Our waitress Nina was amazing. What an out-of-this-world experience☺️

Delicious food, good and friendly service, an atmospheric restaurant, definitely worth a return visit.

Came here to celebrate my sister's birthday and my parents' wedding anniversary. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly.

Excellent... Superb meat... Top service...

The service and atmosphere were very good. Unfortunately, I found the pulled pork very drool and tasteless. The brisket, on the other hand, was super good.

Excellent, the service was really absolutely fine, a nice welcome, friendly, etc. The food was delicious and the atmosphere too.

Had a delicious meal. Fantastic

Brisket was the tastiest of all.

The restaurant is celebrating its 16th anniversary with a nice discount. We've been coming here intermittently for 16 years. It's a top-notch place.

Nice restaurant with very good food! Good medium rare steak, very tasty scampi, and a delicious dame blanche. Very attentive service, nice young people who know what they are doing! We sat on the terrace and enjoyed everything. Highly recommended and we will definitely come back again!

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food

I ate here for the first time and it was reasonably to my liking. I read the glowing reviews so I was very curious. We were served bread with 3 sauces and a drink (Zoetermeer beer) first, and I had pork belly as a starter. This was very crispy. Afterwards, I hesitated between the brisket and beef Picanha and chose the latter. Unfortunately, the wrong choice, because while it tasted quite good, it was very tough. The person who ordered the brisket said it was sublime. A pity. The fries, however, were delicious. The service was quick (sometimes too quick) 😅 and that guy could be more talkative, but oh well, maybe he was having an off day. For dessert, the panna cotta (not served in a glass). All in all, highly recommended and next time I will definitely order the brisket.

Unfortunately, a disappointing experience with the steak (± 200g, 5 cm thick). The first one was returned, but the second one was the same within 10 minutes. The meat had been pre-cooked sous-vide, which meant it lacked a firm bite, and despite the grill marks, the outside was light brown and lacked a good crust. As a result, the center had also turned light pink instead of a nice red. It's a shame; a steak of this thickness deserves the heat of a good pan or a blazing hot grill for true flavor and doneness.

Delicious food. The quality is excellent, and the service is very good and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our food, even though it was quite busy. The wide selection of beers is also very good. Highly recommended! Dogs are allowed, and ours seemed very comfortable. We'll be back.

Cozy restaurant. A warm welcome, made us feel welcome. But the food is truly excellent. We both had a tenderloin, and it was cooked perfectly. I think the price-quality ratio is truly outstanding here. So highly recommended, and I'll definitely be back.

Great food, great staff, great owner. The meat platter is highly recommended! You especially have to try the brisket!

Another fantastic meal, with special praise for the man behind the bar. What a professional. This man truly understands his wonderful profession. I've never experienced such customer service anywhere else. Eating at the bar with my mother was a treat!

These are the most delicious spareribs you'll ever eat. So soft and tender with the perfect flavor! Welcoming and very friendly staff. Cozy and atmospheric decor. I love coming here.

Delicious food. Cozy atmosphere, very good quality, and friendly, helpful staff. Absolutely fantastic.

Cozy and charming restaurant! The brisket is buttery soft and well-seasoned, delicious! Highly recommended!

A really nice restaurant. It's a shame the crispy chicken with cashews is no longer on the menu. But everything there is just delicious. Highly recommended for dinner with friends.

Delicious food and excellent service. Definitely recommended!

Once again we enjoyed it immensely!!!

Affordable good food. Nice menu.

My favorite restaurant, the one I always went to, was closed and I actually came here unplanned, but the food is great, and the staff extremely friendly, definitely not the last time I've been here.

The meat platter for two: brisket, pulled pork, and pork belly slow-cooked for 12 hours, each piece buttery-tender and incredibly delicious! I don't need to say more. 10 stars if I could.

When a restaurant works hard to serve good food and is very customer-friendly, you deserve a good review. It was our first time eating here with the family, and definitely not the last!

Friendly staff and very good food. They also cater to dietary requirements.

We (four of us) had a great meal tonight. The food was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. We’re just sorry that we didn’t have room for dessert!

Once again fantastic food. Until next time.

Delicious food. There could be a bit more choice in beer as it would go well with the dishes but I will definitely come back.

Cozy restaurant, good service and very tasty food. Only downside: few vegetarian options

Always delicious food and neat staff at the gentlemen!

A lot of money for not so good food and quantity

Super cozy meal, friendly service and delicious food!! Well done Fons!!

Once again we had a delicious and pleasant meal and tasty local beers.

Very nice restaurant where we eat regularly.

What a delicious, fun and cozy meal we had here. Hospitable staff who think along, no really had a super fun evening!

Good food, few staff. Which means you often have to wait a while before you can order something. Music was also quite loud which made communicating with each other difficult.

A wonderful restaurant. Good food and very friendly service.

Geweldig in een woord. Zoon en zijn vrouw vaker geweest waren er gek van nou geen woord teveel gezegd. Personeel heel erg vriendelijk, mooie zaak en eten heerlijk. Een echte aanrader ga zeker weer heen.

The food was disappointing. The meat board looked good. Don't take the fish board. Never eaten such a thin tongue before, which is a shame. The service could be much more pleasant. And an owner hanging at the bar with his laptop. So not pleasant.

Great meal, fish board is a lot smaller than the meat board.

Een goede sfeer en bediening. Eten verrassend goed . De kaart is niet overdreven veel. Lekker overzichtelijker. Gaan zeker weer vlug nog een keer . Lees ook de site. Mooie geschiedenis over de plek waar je zit en waar ze voor staan.

Delicious food. Starters were great, as was the main menu. Not the cheapest, but very good quality.

It's always a pleasure to eat here. Delicious meat is the house specialty and the meat platter with meat from master butcher Piet van den Berg is definitely recommended! High quality, good portions and good value for money. The friendly and attentive service tops everything off.

Two years ago I left 5 stars. We were still behind that in 2024. Prices have now risen and quality has fallen proportionately. Shame! The carpaccio was so incredibly thick, just not tasty. The meat also smelled stale. This was the last time for us. Shame!

What an incredibly delicious carpaccio, meat platter and spareribs we ate here tonight! Welcoming and friendly service, delicious bubbles and top wine! I think see you soon 😁

As Zoetermeer residents and meat lovers, we occasionally go to this restaurant. Can absolutely recommend it! Since the opening of this restaurant, our experience is that the dishes have gotten better every time. The steak tartare was the best we have ever eaten so far, the structure of the meat makes it clear that it has been prepared with attention and love. Even took the trouble to put a delicious poached egg on it, something you don't often encounter. I actually never eat spare ribs in restaurants because of the dirty hands syndrome, but this time I broke with that tradition and enjoyed the spare ribs. Super tender, fall-of-the-bone (if you like it), wonderfully marinated. The finale was the sublime strawberry mousse with bastogne biscuit, all handmade. Almost nothing comes from a package or can at this restaurant, pure intense pleasure! We will definitely come back here again :-)

The food was tasty and one of the servers and waitress was also very friendly. However, another employee made a comment that was unacceptable. Unfortunately, I became disabled due to an accident and spend most of my time in a wheelchair. When I was being led away by my partner, a person working there felt it necessary to make "beep-beep" noises as if I were a truck going backwards. To that person: You don't know who I am, how I feel, or why I'm in a wheelchair. Are you going to be deeply ashamed of your "funny" behavior.

We had a nice meal and a nice evening. That's ruined upon departure. When I rolled my fiancée back in her wheelchair, one of the hosts made a beep-beep sound like she was a truck. Some situations are suitable for a touch of humor, but I found this downright dehumanizing for someone who already has a hard enough time with her daily life and it has become more difficult to participate in society. We probably won't come back here again.

Super delicious food 😊👍Service staff very friendly. I can only recommend the restaurant 😊👍👍We would love to come back.

Despite the quiet evening (for the restaurant), we had a lot of fun. The service was great, the lady was very attentive and friendly. The food was very sufficient and we would definitely like to come back

Spare ribs were delicious. What is striking for a meat restaurant is that the wine selection is very limited. I think it's possible to get more onions

Cozy restaurant with bar, good kitchen with a nice menu, child friendly!!

LOTS OF LOVE FOR THIS RESTAURANT I HAVEN'T BEEN FOR A VERY LONG BUT IT WAS DELICIOUS..!!!! THAT DESSERT WITH HOT CHOCOLATE SAUCE WAS THE BEST 🥰

Delicious food, beautiful and tasty dishes, young lady serving was attentive, not too present, nice. It's also nice to read the story behind the concept, especially if you've ever been to gebr. Kooter and Piet van der Berg were able to look behind the scenes

Individually 5 stars. The atmosphere is actually 4.5 because it is very noisy. The crowds cannot go away. Reason not to come here with my wife. Service is super fast, you don't have to wait for your drink. Replenishment is also available quickly. 1 of our table was able to customize his dish to his liking, putting 2 starters together was no problem either. However, the interior and facade could use some updating.

What a nice restaurant, it has been there for many years and for good reason. A warm welcome and cozy reception. The water we were served with the bottle of wine was very thoughtful, without asking and therefore without paying. Delicious food, really good quality and large portions. Also drank a special Fonsies Tripel!!

Simple brasserie in the cozy old village center of the start. Nice to see and excellent service. The food is fairly standard and the menu offers few special dishes, but the quality of the food is excellent. Nice place to eat.

Food so so, tuna a bit tough... This was completely made up for by very nice service. TOP!

Our favorite restaurant in Zoetermeer. Delicious meat dishes (and fish and veggie) and good service!

Cozy restaurant in the old city center of Zoetermeer. The menu is fine and the service was excellent.

At the end of the summer holidays we had dinner with the children again at the Heeren van Soetermeer. It's a party every time, we had such a delicious meal.

The owner is a real and sincere catering professional. Dishes are always top notch. Delicious meat. Bottles of wine for a good price and delicious. Always enjoy! And very good coffee!

Great food! When it comes to brisket, you can hardly find a better place than here. Incredibly tasty! Service is also top notch, all the explanation you would need.

2024 My 2022 review is still accurate! Fantastic restaurant where we go for all our occasions. 2022 Ate here for the 3rd time now. Very good food, specialized in meat dishes. And very friendly staff. We'll be back again soon.

Delicious food and served with hospitality and humor. Good local beers and the meat is delicious. See you next time!

We had not made a reservation, but we were immediately welcomed. Super friendly and customer-oriented owner. Good quality meat, delicious wine and coffee!

Wij wisten niet waar we wilde eten. Tot wij langs de heeren van Soetermeer liepen. Door de vriendelijke bediening een tafel op het terras gekregen. Van het voorgerecht (carpaccio, en ossenhaas) tot het hoofdgerecht (biefstukken), was super! Het vlees super mals, vlotte bediening en erg vriendelijk personeel! Wij raden dit restaurant iedereen aan, en komen de volgende keer met meer mensen terug!

As always, the food is excellent. Good beer and food menu. Friendly service with personal attention.

A nice and pleasant meal with a somewhat larger group. They took great care to ensure that everyone was served at the same time. The hosting is just right and so is the food. Industry-wide, we have reached a price level that I hope the menu and ingredients are just that little bit more original. Perhaps this is an unfair expectation due to inflation, but I have it. The menu is meat oriented. A vegetarian has a few options, but for my taste they could be a little more extensive.

My expectations were perhaps a bit high. The food is not bad but the spareribs had little taste. Well cooked. Atmosphere and service not special, the girl did her best. Luckily I was in good company.

Been there for the umpteenth time and it was delicious again....brought my wife along. Was great again

We visited yesterday and had a really delicious meal. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was great. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Was delicious. Had the meat board, pork belly and pulled pork were very good. Other dishes also good.

Delicious food and great service, try the meat board next time 😉

Aangename zaak met zeer goede en vriendelijke bediening. Ik had biefstukreepjes en mijn vrouw een hamburger (200 gram) was perfect! Toe hadden we tiramisu en een voortreffelijke koffie. Wel reserveren anders heb je geen plaats. Een aanrader!

Genoten van een heerlijk diner in dit knusse restaurant, gelegen in het leukste straatje van Zoetermeer. Vlotte, behulpzame bediening, het eten was heerlijk en vers bereid.

Delicious food. I don't like pork belly, but we were given a piece to taste. How delightful!! Good explanation of the menu and nice girls at the counter. Highly recommended...

Meat board is highly recommended

excellent restaurant with good quality food

Good food, friendly staff, but I don't think the high tables contribute to a comfortable dinner.

Delicious food. Meat was really good. Only, and that is a taste choice, the sauce that goes over it.

Bare, somewhat small tables close together. Friendly staff and good service. Excellent food of good quality. Wide choice of dishes. Reasonable prices.

Delicious food during Christmas

Second visit 2023 The card was still the same. This time the burgers were gone and the satay was gone. So almost a third of the main courses. Quality of the Brisket was still very good. Inventories still not in order. For me a reason to give one less star. First visit 2022 Ate brisket and ribeye. The ribeye was requested medium rare, but it really wasn't. Medium and a bit further. The smoke flavor was very good. The brisket was very tasty, it's a pity that the sauce was not separate. The meat was served with only fries. There were no side dishes such as vegetables or salads on the menu. Only two dishes were available from the desert menu. Bad planning when the menu is already small.

Heerlijk gegeten bij de Heeren van Soetermeer. Kwaliteit en portionering van de gerechten is goed. Van het lekkere vers afgebakken broodje vooraf tot de goede bak koffie na. De vleesbereidingen waren perfect. Complimenten! De snelheid van opdienen tussen de gangen, ging behoorlijk snel. Het broodplankje vooraf was nog niet voor de helft op, of het hoofdgerecht werd al uitgeserveerd. Is natuurlijk een moment opname, maar wel een aandachtspunt.

Heerlijk gegeten, vriendelijk personeel, wij komen hier zeker nog een keer terug.

Met 6 personen en m’n mooie kleindochter zijn we hier gaan eten op zondagavond. Uitstekend bevallen, alles was erg lekker en ruim voldoende. Na het broodmandje hebben we allemaal een voorgerecht genomen, geweldig. De buikspek kan ik iedereen aanraden. M’n ene schoonzoon had de gamba’s en de andere de avocado. Ook allemaal top. Toen het hoofdgerecht, dat was op (bijna) alle fronten een feestje. Ik vond de rib Eye geweldig, ik neem hem altijd rare. Anders is het al snel te gaar. Maar dat is natuurlijk persoonlijk. De meeste hadden brisket en die was werkelijk super mals. Ook aanrader. Verder overdadig veel friet, maar nauwelijks groente. Nou vinden veel mensen dat niet erg, maar ikzelf vind dat er wel bij horen. Als nagerecht een crème brûlée, daar kan ik ook alleen maar positief over zijn. De kleine meid kreeg poffertjes en als toetje een bolletje ijs. Ze zat te smullen. Het personeel was aardig en correct, niets op aan te merken. Al met al hebben we een geweldige avond gehad, voor herhaling vatbaar.

Heerlijk gegeten vanavond!! Een service waar menig restaurant nog iets van kan leren..zeer vriendelijke bediening die weet wat er op je bord ligt..wij komen zeker nog een keer terug.

Matig eten. Biefstuk medium besteld komt doorgebakken op tafel. Plastic resten in de salade aangetroffen. Niet voor herhaling vatbaar. Duur qua prijs in verhouding tot de kwaliteit. Op de website is een verwijzing naar Piet van den Berg gemaakt. Het vlees wat wordt geserveerd komt daar niet naar mijn mening niet vandaan. Matige Sligro kwaliteit en slecht bereid.

Altijd goed eten, ze stellen nooit teleur

Heerlijk eten met prettige service
