EmMy’s Kitchen in Wijk 13 Sluitersveld

Company drinks, a great opportunity for a relaxing drink with colleagues. Excellent service and snacks.

Good experience 5 years ago, unfortunately nothing left now. Poor quality food, presentation as if a toddler had been busy, tough meat, sour tuna lukewarm drinks, no apologies/compensation. We are still hungry for €137.

Nice restaurant.. nicely decorated.. was very cold.. asked if they could turn on the heating.. air conditioning apparently but stayed cold.. thought they weren't with us quickly. Finally they came when we were all ladies but didn't come back quickly. Had to go there myself to ask if we could order something else, which I didn't like.. The sandwiches are delicious and not expensive. When we paid later, it was in the middle of the restaurant to warm up. They could have come to us and told us it was warmer there.. too bad.

Top location. You won't find a better one in Almelo. Perfect location. Across from where the flower stall of the now legendary (sadly deceased) Ruud Sinnema used to be. Had to leave because the fire department couldn't get through. I was very surprised that the Wetshuus did get a permit for the covered patio. That's why I always avoided this beautiful historic building. My son and daughter-in-law invited me for a nice dinner. Nice, certainly. But that wasn't because of the food. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was also a big plus. Beautifully decorated with historical photos and paintings. A step back in time, you rarely find such a beautifully decorated interior. But the food. I ordered schnitzel and fries. For a cafeteria, I'd give it a 5, and then only for the fries, which they call fries in the Wetshuus. We're in Twente, my boy, anyway. Back to the food, I really don't understand how they manage to do this in the kitchen. You really have to work hard to get it to this point. I wonder what kind of magician was in that kitchen. Fried in? I don't know. It wasn't butter, not even oil. Praise be to God, it wasn't fried either. One side was browned, the other clearly undercooked. See the photo. It just didn't taste good. It certainly wasn't a traditional schnitzel like in Pruus. Or was the chef out? After three bites, I was done. And I only managed to eat it because I still had beer and could wash it down. A personal best! I was really disappointed; I had hoped to give it more stars. There won't be a second chance.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A place with warmth, energy, and character 't Hoekhoes—"the house on the corner"—is one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel: this is the right place. Warm lighting, friendly staff, different spaces, each with its own atmosphere, and a feeling of hospitality everywhere that you can't fake. At the front, you'll find a cozy bar playing classic rock—songs that bring you back without feeling forced. Further on, there's a room with a DJ and dance floor, a heated outdoor terrace where smokers and vapers can sit and smoke, and then the large club room where the bass pounds through your body. Busy, but never chaotic. Full of energy, but always pleasant. Friday night was a wonderful surprise: a gala for a hockey club celebrating its 100th anniversary. People in tuxedos, cocktail dresses, style, and fun. I danced with several people, including a tall, impressively athletic woman who kept me floating for a few songs. A beautiful moment. Saturday had a younger vibe—lots of twentysomethings, beautifully dressed, dancing as if they'd prepared all night. And then suddenly I heard: "Mr. Ramsey! You taught us physics! You were the best!" Alumni who wanted selfies, to share memories—that made my evening complete. On Sunday, I came in earlier. Quieter, warmer, more relaxed. The bartender served me a slightly warmed old jenever, just warm enough to release that soft, smoky aroma—almost bourbon-like. The Hoekhoes schnitzel was generous and beautifully finished with bacon, shallot, and herbs. And the crème brûlée? Perfectly roasted, creamy underneath—clearly made with care. And people… the restrooms. Always clean. Really always. That's no coincidence—that's craftsmanship. Today I'd like to especially thank three employees: Lars, Isa, and Kristal. Their service was fast, friendly, clear, and personal. They thought along with me, solved everything, and did so with a smile. You made my evening. 't Hoekhoes is more than a bar or a dance hall. It's a place with rhythm, style, and heart. For me, this is a solid, honest Nine — and I'll definitely be back. ⸻ ⭐ And finally, a bit of wisdom from an older brother: I'm 55+ and my hearing is still excellent — not through luck, but through discipline. I served in the US Navy on a nuclear submarine, in the engine room, where the noise level is routinely above 130 decibels. You learn one thing quickly there: if you want to keep your hearing, wear protection. Always. Since my mid-twenties, I never go to clubs, festivals, or concerts without good earplugs. And at 't Hoekhoes, my party earplugs go in as soon as the music starts. The music stays great—just without the damage. A friendly tip from someone who likes to keep their ears the way they are. – Mr. Ramsey
