Loetje Zwolle in Wijk 12 Wipstrik

Very busy, serving staff running back and forth, unfortunately it has become a food factory, especially on weekends !!

We asked the person who showed us to a table if we could use the table next to it. She pulled a face like a grumpy old woman, hence the low score for the service.

Delicious food, friendly service.

I went there again after a long time, and my personal impression is that I won't be eating there again. It was far too crowded and consequently far too loud. The steak was cooked well, but unfortunately, it was swimming in an oversalted butter sauce. A shame. Otherwise, you have to order everything from the outside, which quickly gets expensive. The staff was okay. As I said, that's just my personal opinion.

Very high prices, e.g. a portion of fries 6.75 and a portion of mushrooms 4.75. The waitress knocked over a piece of wine; it lay there for a long time before it was cleaned up. The steak was very tasty though. The schnitzel was cooked way too hard.

I asked for a few adjustments due to my gluten allergy. It was arranged really well.

Unfortunately, the salad was sold out as early as 5:30 PM, the steak was tasty but lukewarm, it is a bit noisy there due to the space, and the service was friendly.

Had a delicious meal! The steak was very tender. A bit noisy though.

The vegetables were cold, the steak wasn't very hot either, and the sweet potato fries weren't crispy. We had a reservation for 5:00 PM, but salads could no longer be ordered. I don't think the price-quality ratio is balanced. I don't think I will ever come back here. It's a shame; I had expected more.

Dry-cooked burger, burnt schnitzel.

Had a delicious steak at a friendly price (thanks to the AH promotion). The fries were delicious, but the salad was too much.

Easily reserved lunch online via an AH promotion. We were a bit late due to a hospital appointment running over, but this was no problem. Friendly and helpful staff. Cozy atmosphere, warm decor. We were completely surprised by the lunch; we had made some minor adjustments, but were speechless when everything was on the table. Simply superb! Especially plenty of everything! The steaks with delicious (dip) gravy were simply delicious and tender; I had chicken liver, onion, and bacon on the side. There was so much food that my husband ate one of my steaks, which he didn't mind at all🤣. The salad was well dressed with sauce, egg, tomato, cucumber, and bacon bits, among other things; that's how it should be. You often get plain lettuce, but certainly not here👍🏽 The sweet potato fries, I love them🤤. Our not-so-pleasant hospital visit brought a smile back to our faces at Loetje, and we went home with full stomachs. Hope to see you again.

Had a delicious meal, friendly service. Beautiful location

The steak keeps getting smaller, and the way the fries are served—on a small plate with the mayonnaise on it too. Which three of you then have to share. That looks awful. I hope you do something about that. And I’m going to take down that sticker where you can order; you’re not McDonald’s, after all.

Not worth the money! Loetje is known for its steak. You order a steak for around 40-50 euros, and you get a few slices of white casino bread rolls from the local supermarket on the side. Even at the cheaper restaurants, you get homemade bread, or better quality. I have been here twice now and both times it was a negative experience. Next time I’ll go back to getting a nice steak at the local restaurants for half the price, with delicious freshly baked bread and a pleasant atmosphere.

Lunch mediocre. Coffee and cappuccino not very hot.

The food was very good, à la Loetje. The staff has improved a lot lately. Now they are service-oriented and assertive.

Waited 1 hour for the food, very long for a Monday evening, but compensated with a drink on the house, fine. For a 2nd time, I'm not sure yet!

Very friendly staff, a nice welcome, and a cozy atmosphere

Reserving for a group of 15 or more people is difficult. A drinks package of €29.95 per person is added without being requested. The drinks package is far too generous for a group with children. Adjusting the menu as well—one grandchild wanted a schnitzel instead of a steak—caused a lot of hassle and would have required an extra charge. Eventually, the steak was exchanged for a schnitzel at no extra cost. My advice: change the inflexible reservation system and make it more customer-friendly.

Had a delicious XL steak, tasted perfect, wonderfully tender

The acoustics were not pleasant. We have often been to one of the other Loetje locations, but this time it was very disappointing. The steak was dry, and the outside was hard and crispy. The sweet potato fries were soggy. It's a shame, because we are not used to this.

Had a delicious meal and friendly service. I do find the front section always cold, though.

Food very tasty and service prompt! Definitely worth repeating!

The food was really tasty, and the service was fine, but it was really very noisy, and partly because of that, the atmosphere was a lot less cozy.

The meat is excellent. Unfortunately, the side dishes arrived too cold. The salad with steak tips was great.

Delicious! Great value for money

It is a cozy restaurant situated in the former Urbana bowling center. We had a delicious meal! The staff and service were excellent.

I ordered a medium-well steak but received it well-done. That alone wouldn’t have been a major issue, but the slow service made the experience much worse. We received our drinks, then sat outside for 15 minutes without anyone coming to take our food order. Eventually, I had to go inside and ask for a waiter myself. Considering the prices, both the food and service were disappointing and not worth the money.

It is a real shame that the waitress was curt, had little sense of hospitality, and it is bizarre that we had to pay our bill at 9:30 PM because they were ‘simply closing’. Very rude and unwelcoming. The food is a six out of ten.

Despite being understaffed, I was still helped reasonably quickly; my compliments for this.

A visit to Loetje Zwolle on a Monday evening was, unfortunately, a disappointment. The staff present seemed insufficient for the number of visitors. We had to wait more than half an hour before anyone came to ask for a drink. Menus were not available on the terrace, and the QR code did not appear to work. The steak was overcooked and the accompanying bread was forgotten. The bread was only brought after asking again, but the gravy had already cooled down considerably. In short, a disappointment.

We have decided we want to become regular guests!

Had a delicious meal and a beautiful location; you can also park your car easily.

Nice place to have a good meal. Highly recommended.

Had an incredibly delicious meal today at Loetje in Zwolle. Everything arrived quickly, and the service was also incredibly nice and attentive. Someone even came to sing for my friend's birthday. Well, definitely recommended!

Great food. World-class steak👌👌

We had a super delicious meal and the service was especially great!!!!!!

Had a delicious meal tonight! The service made my evening.

Always delicious food and a great atmosphere, no matter who I'm with! Because it was raining, we sat inside, and then we noticed that the large room/hall is quite noisy; perhaps fun to watch, but it certainly didn't spoil the evening!

Super delicious food in a beautiful setting.

We have given the restaurant in Zwolle a chance twice now. The first time (about a year ago), we were not greeted upon arrival, were subsequently ‘forgotten’ by the waitress when taking our order, and then our food order was lost as well. We had to chase this up ourselves, and after 45 minutes, they still hadn't resolved it. It wasn't busy, so there was no reason for so much to go wrong for just two people. We pointed this out when paying the bill, and we were met with sheepish looks when we mentioned it. Now that we have given it a second try, it is not much better. This time, we were greeted upon arrival by a waitress who briefly took on her supporting role as hostess, but otherwise, the service was old-fashioned again. No attention paid to people wanting to order, long waits for the food, and steaks (4 identical ones for 4 people) were all cooked differently, even though they were supposed to be the same. We received them ranging from brown to red on the inside. In the meantime, while our drinks were finished and we had started eating, no one asked us if everything was to our liking. And naturally, this was not to our liking. Then came the desserts. The waitress could not explain the flavors of the specials on the menu to us, so we had to guess, and consequently, we waited longer for the desserts than for the main course. Finally, upon leaving, it seemed they didn't want our money. No one wanted to settle the bill with us. All in all, another disappointment. And not worth repeating.

It was once again a lovely evening. The XL steak was delicious. Great for dipping in the delicious gravy, and the dessert from Loetje was surprisingly tasty.

Super delicious steak in the sauce with bread, what more could a person want?

Amazing Steak... I go especially for the Steak with toppings.

Delicious food Friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended!

I come here regularly with colleagues/friends. The price is quite a bit more expensive than in the city (steaks are plain, so you have to buy fries etc. on the side). Yes, Loetje, I know that is the concept, but even concepts are subject to change :) What I really don't understand about this place (not too old) is why or if absolutely no one thought about the noise level. Even when the place is half full, you can't understand each other because it is incredibly loud. I think the acoustics could easily be improved.

Made a beautiful building out of it, delicious food and super friendly staff. Top notch.

It is “certainly not” the tastiest steak anymore! In my opinion, pre-cooked and warmed up in the oven after ordering. The quality steak is “not” the classic… unfortunately…

We celebrated my father’s 60th birthday here yesterday. He has acquired brain injury, but at ‘t Loetje they were very understanding and provided us with a quiet spot. Employee Pleun served us with love and humor and, above all, gave my father a wonderful evening. She handled it very well and even waved him goodbye as he left. What a fantastic lady, thanks to her! And the food was delicious :)

I frequently visit other Loetje locations, but I absolutely cannot recommend this one. Despite the low number of customers, no one came to take our drink orders or subsequent food orders. The food was slow, and of course, the bill was also delayed. While there were clearly enough staff members, they didn't pay attention to us or the other customers, prioritizing rearranging tables themselves. As other reviewers have mentioned, they didn't even ask about our preferred doneness. It was an exceptionally low level of service, something I rarely experience. As a Loetje fan, I feel compelled to offer this honest feedback.

The food was super tasty, but unfortunately we had to wait an hour for our food after ordering (on a Tuesday). Additionally, when ordering, we weren't asked how we wanted our meat cooked, and the portion of fries was smaller than I'm used to from Loetje. It's a shame, because previous experiences here were positive.

Overall, the meal was fine. It is a shame, though, that the steak just wasn't that good... Not what I've come to expect from Loetje, at least. You have to order the fries separately; that's fine in itself... but you paid 4.25 for a 'small' portion and 6.75 for a large one, even though I think there's a difference of 5 fries in terms of portion size... A bit of a shame. The dessert was also disappointing: apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately, the vanilla ice cream was completely crystallized inside and basically melted before it even arrived. All in all, we won't be coming back here anytime soon.

Had to wait 45 minutes for the main course! The steak was overcooked, lukewarm, and literally swimming in butter gravy. The fish was not tasty, far too salty, and was also sitting in a plate full of gravy. Once is enough, never coming back!!

We were here with part of the family for a quick drink before an important event. There were about 20 of us. We received excellent service and had a nice large table. Great service without a reservation. Thanks again. 👍

Well, Loetje Zwolle... just fine!

It really is a very nice, neat restaurant with parking right on the premises. However, the food (lunch) was a huge disappointment to us. A salmon club sandwich (dry bread, way too much sauce) and a hamburger (not tender, lacking flavor). Considering the prices (which are well above average), I find that quite mediocre. The quality really needs to improve (or the price go down).

Upon entering Loetje, a friendly welcome, impeccable service; they are nice and helpful. I found the furniture we were seated on to be substandard: a small, worn-out table with two wooden chairs. The main course that Loetje is known for, the steak, was served on cold plates, with the result that after two small bites, my girlfriend's plate was already sent back to the kitchen because the gravy was curdling. We naturally had to wait for that (I kept eating, otherwise plate number 2 would have gone back to the kitchen immediately). The other dishes were OK, except for the standard fries, which could be fried a bit longer because the end result was not "nice and crispy". Paid the bill and gave the staff a good tip because they do a good job, but I don't think this is worth 120 euros. To be clear: I have eaten at several Loetje restaurants (Amsterdam, Haarlem, Hilversum, etc.), but in my opinion, Loetje Zwolle scores low in comparison.

Beautiful location and delicious food. A real Loetje!

Had a super fun and enjoyable evening. Super friendly staff and fast service. Had a delicious meal!

Yes amazing, got 2 small steaks which I really appreciated, the Bali mmm

Had a delicious meal, always good at Loetje. Tastiest carpaccio and that steak amazing.

Nice restaurant, we had starter then beef and desert, all food is very nice. Strongly suggested.

just as good, if not better, than Loetje Rotterdam Centrum; who knows, maybe I'll go to Rotterdam Kop van Zuid as a mystery guest soon.

Excellent steak 0.0 (so vegetarian!). Otherwise, limited vegetarian options.

We were a little too early on the terrace. We were immediately pointed out twice, both outside and inside, that they were barely open at 11:20 in the morning. No good morning; we were invisible to these two young ladies with an air... The young lady who came outside shouted it from a distance. Because a lot of noise arose on the terrace from branches being sawed, we walked inside. The lady behind the counter said immediately that they were not open, no good morning. 11:20, doors open. She wasn't busy; she was just standing behind the counter. Her face remained emotionless; she didn't flinch. I said that I would have brought something else, a nice cup of cappuccino right away and the lunch menu in advance. We said that we were going to have lunch somewhere else. She said, "Have a nice day." Missed opportunity, no €60 earned from us, we won't be coming back here.

Disgusting, how much you have declined in quality. Poor service, wrong order, no customer focus whatsoever, and then making customers wait for a simple bill. This was not only disappointing, but downright shameful for a restaurant that once had a good reputation. What an incredibly bad experience that cost 75 euros. We arrived when it was quiet and were shown to a table by a man with brown hair, blue eyes, and a stubble beard. Next, I ordered a steak with garlic, but I received a plain steak without garlic. I wasn't even asked how I wanted it cooked (rare, medium, or well done), something you would expect in a restaurant. Additionally, no one came to the table to ask if everything was to our liking or if it tasted good, which is also what you should expect in a restaurant. When we were finished, the same employee came to ask if we wanted anything to drink or dessert. I replied politely: "No thank you, the bill please." From that moment on, it seemed as if he was personally offended. Instead of bringing the bill, he made us wait for nearly 20 minutes while he helped various other guests who were already being served by another colleague. After we asked for the bill again, another employee went to consult with him. He then started walking through the restaurant asking other tables if they had been served yet, even though those tables had already been served by colleagues. Everything seemed more important than the customers who had been waiting for their bill for 20 minutes. He literally walked everywhere except to our table. A few more minutes and I would have left without paying, only to contact them later. That is how absurd this situation was. This is without a doubt one of the most unprofessional and customer-unfriendly experiences I have ever had in a hospitality establishment. The only positive point of the evening was the young, slender lady with brown hair and blue eyes. She was friendly, professional, and seemed to take her job seriously. Without her, this experience would have had absolutely nothing positive. For me, that is reason enough never to return here.

The steak was really delicious, 5 stars! Furthermore, the beetroot tartare starter was far too spicy, a waste of the flavor. The restaurant was incredibly noisy, poor acoustics, so conversations took a lot of effort and it wasn't really a relaxed dining experience.

Here you eat a veeeeery delicious, old-fashioned, tasty steak! Super tender. The atmosphere is great..

I really wanted to go here to try the plant-based steak. After all, you don't often/ever see that on a menu. To get straight to the point; it was very disappointing. I have seen the texture before with other brands, but I personally didn't find it very pleasant given the thickness of the steak they have at Loetje. It also had a strange taste. Probably from the steak itself, but since I had chosen not to have gravy with it, I couldn't properly judge whether that taste might have come from the gravy or the butter it was fried in. My husband had chosen the schnitzel, but it wasn't very special. Unfortunately, it wasn't crispy either. Plus point: a portion of fries with mayonnaise is fortunately not very small. As for dessert; the chocolate sauce with the Dame Blanche was disappointing. But the scoops of ice cream were nice and big. Regarding practical matters: all the menus we held in our hands were very dirty. And the chairs inside aren't very comfortable. All in all, therefore, not worth repeating. Also because it is very pricey. We had, of course, already seen that online beforehand, but if everything had been great, it might have been worth it. You see, you have to order all the side dishes separately, whereas most restaurants normally include some fries and another small side dish with a main course.

Nice restaurant in a pleasant location, though outside the city center. It has a warm and atmospheric interior. It does feel a bit large and massive, which sometimes causes the coziness to be lost. We had lunch with three people: the food was good/okay. We ate meatballs with bread, a Chicken Bali sandwich, and a crispy chicken sandwich. There is ample parking available. A fine experience, but not memorable.

We visit Loetje often. The food is always great! We went yesterday for Mother's Day. This time, we had to wait a very long time for our food. There were 9 of us, including 2 children aged 5 and 6. We had a reservation for 5:30 PM, but the food didn't arrive until 6:45 PM, by which time the gravy had already gone lukewarm. The restaurant wasn't overcrowded, which would have explained the wait. The same thing happened with the dessert. The coffee was long finished, and then we had to wait another 20 minutes for the dessert. We are not used to this from Loetje, and it was quite a disappointment. Especially since the waiting was difficult for the children and my mother, who is almost 90, was getting tired. A shame.

Just nothing special. Sorry. The food was otherwise fine, though, but the Loetje concept just doesn't appeal to me anymore. Service extremely friendly 👌

Loetje Zwolle, super delicious food, the steak is tender and cooked just right. The restaurant's decor is really top-notch! Beautiful floors and ceiling, really cozy and finished down to the last detail, so the atmosphere is great. Nice people. Why only 3 stars then? Too expensive, and the steak is offered in 3 sizes and you get the medium without asking; asking would be more polite. And then shelling out €91 for lunch for 2 people is a bit much; this is mainly because you have to pay extra for all the extra fries, onions, and mushrooms. And that doesn't feel right, no matter how delicious the meal was...

We had a lovely meal outside in the sun, it was delicious, definitely recommended.

Had a delicious meal! Friendly and fast service. Enjoyed eating outside on the terrace. We passed by by chance on our way home (an hour from here) and would love to come back again.

A wonderful and cozy place for a family vacation. The menu changes often and I really like it. I ordered a salad with avocado and chicken - it turned out to be incredibly tasty. My husband ordered a burger, which was also delicious. The fries also satisfied the children. I think we will come here again.

Unfortunately for us, it was a very bad experience. My girlfriend and I both became severely nauseous within a few hours of eating (burnt) steak. During the night, the food came right back up for both of us, and we felt terribly ill for the entire weekend that followed. Given that we ate the same thing and experienced exactly the same symptoms, this can hardly be a coincidence. It is a real shame; we won't be going back a second time.

The spacious area to the right after the entrance is a large echo chamber. It is noisy there. You can hear a lot of sound. Can they do something about soundproofing measures? The food was fine and the service was top-notch today.

Loetje burger. Too expensive for what you get. Burger itself mediocre. Somewhat dry. A shame.

We first had to wait well over 10 minutes at the “counter” for someone to come and help us. We had made a reservation, so fortunately there was a table available. After not being served for 25 minutes, we just asked if we could order something to drink, as a colleague was supposed to come. After another 10 minutes, no one had arrived yet, and we eventually just walked away. In total, we spent 45 minutes in the restaurant without being served. A waste of time, and also annoying to have to find another place at the last minute, especially since it was already 8:15 PM by then.

Cozy atmosphere and delicious food!

A wonderful experience going out for dinner. It is very noisy in the main hall, though; that bothered us.

Basically just a food factory; the meat is fine, but it's lying in a pool of butter with some chili sauce thrown in.

A nice place to relax. The service was good, but it was a bit crowded.

Food is good Service is good Sits by the window can be drafty and chilly when the wind is strong.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly and professional staff, food was delicious and good quality!

Dinner was delicious! You can really eat well here. Everything tasted delicious. The atmosphere is good and the staff are friendly. We enjoyed it. Thanks! Keep up the good work, you're doing great.

Had a great meal at Loetje with an AH coupon. Great atmosphere, well-maintained, and plenty of choices. Perfect.

FOOD The gravy that tastes like burnt butter with chili sauce is simply a cardinal sin with a dish like Beef Bali. You can do sous-vide as neatly as you like, but if the sauce fails, the whole plate collapses. Those "Dr Ilgo patajes" (I can already feel the disappointment 😅) and a tablespoon of Calvé-like salad... that's not a restaurant experience, that's a canteen with ambition problems. Filling, not nutrition... A 5.5 for the meat is already generous considering the context. + point: lots of fries for a regular portion! + sweet potato was delicious, according to my wife. A 5.5 for the meat is already generous considering the context. Not my restaurant.

Delicious food, good portions Friendly service

The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly. Our dog was also welcome and gave the steak a 10 😜

The food here is always good, we come here 3 times a year but especially for the red host steak, highly recommended!!!

Good service, everything in order and a reliable seller.

Excellent food and excellent service.

What a fantastic experience at Loetje! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcome. The ambiance is stylish and warm, but the absolute highlight was the food. The dishes were a taste sensation, and the matching wines completed the meal. The staff's passion for their work is clearly palpable. We'll be back very soon!

We had a delicious meal and will definitely come again.

The food is good. The option to fill the plate with gravy isn't to everyone's taste. It's better served on the side, but that's just my opinion.

All of the above is fine, but the prices on the menu are very misleading and antisocial. I'm happy to pay €40 for a steak, but having to buy €5 worth of mushrooms and another €5 worth of onions is ridiculous! Oh yeah... I also have to pay an extra €7 for some fries. It was good, but I'll never go there again. In short... fine dining prices, but it's just not quite right.

The food was delicious, but the ambiance was a bit disappointing. On December 14th, we had lunch and had meatballs with bread. The meatballs were dry and the gravy was burnt. It's a shame.
