Restaurant De Brekken in Wijk 23 Lemmer

Four of us ate there! I had a schnitzel with cheese, paprika, and a fried egg! And it tasted like nothing, and the side dishes weren't tasty either! We were disappointed! Unfortunately!

A beautifully located restaurant. Very friendly and attentive service. You can choose your own seating. Delicious food and drinks.

We've been coming to Lemmer for years, and this is our number one spot. The food is incredibly delicious and varied. The atmosphere at the harbor is simply fantastic. The only downside is that prices have risen considerably in recent years, but unfortunately, that's the case everywhere these days.

We took the walk from the center (2.5 km). We ordered the Brekken-style mixed meats and the quality was spectacular. We shared it and it was more than enough for two. The price was good and the atmosphere was very cool. The waiters were wonderful.

Geweldig gegeten Top personeel Goede prijs kwaliteit Lianne jij bent een top serveerster. Één en al gezelligheid Vandaar de hoge fooi

We found the restaurant by chance. It didn't look anything special from the outside, but inside it's actually beautiful. The food is really good and the service is very friendly. Highly recommended.

It's not cheap, but you get a good price in terms of quality and portion size. The only downside was that, despite not trying the restaurant much, we had to wait an hour for our food.

Delicious food, beautifully presented plates and friendly staff.

Today we visited Restaurant De Brekken, which we decided to do based on reading the reviews. Conclusion: After we chose a table, the waitress served us promptly. We quickly got our drinks (2 people), and the food was also ordered and arrived after about 15 minutes. We had the Texas burger and beef fillet steak with a really generous amount of side dishes. We were really surprised that everything on the menu was actually included. During our meal, the waitress came and asked several times if we were enjoying our meal and if everything was OK. We said it was. After we finished, we waited for the table to be cleared. After half an hour, the waitress came around several times and didn't ask if we wanted anything else to drink or if she could clear the table. We actually wanted something else to drink, but we decided to pay our bill directly at the bar. The service there is really not good, and it was almost deserted. There were enough staff on site, so I don't understand it. Well, it's a shame, we probably won't go there again.

Food was delicious and super good service Recommended outside inside everything possible Lovely place

We chose "De Brekken" as our first overnight stay on our boat trip with three couples and were absolutely thrilled. It's a real alternative to the town of Lemmer itself, as it's much quieter. Be sure to reserve a table and a berth right in front of the restaurant well in advance! A large selection of food and drinks at fair prices, very attentive service, and excellent restroom facilities for boaters. We'll definitely be back.

The food was okay. The price was too high for the quality. The male server was unfriendly. After the meal, he threw a crumpled napkin on our table when we pointed out that the side dishes we'd ordered hadn't arrived. German tourists seem to be unwelcome and get the worst tables, despite having reservations.

Was much better last year, but now I don't like the food much anymore. Thin sauces, slow servers, but still a nice location. Update 2025: No longer recommended. Unfriendly, forgetful, not enough sauce for the schnitzel, and it's thin to boot. I won't be coming back.

We have visited the restaurant several times in the past few days. The ambience inside is very coherent and inviting. The outdoor area: Simply a beautiful place with a view of the water, a dream at a late hour! We have found very friendly and helpful people in service, included in the usual humor ... 😊 The food and drinks are served on a very good level, there was nothing to complain about. Prices are at the local level, considering the quality, the restaurant in terms of price/performance is absolutely top in Lemmer. The restaurant is located a bit away from the "City", but the (short) way there is worth reservation in advance in the season! All the best for the team - see you soon!

We had a wonderful and delicious meal there tonight, the service was great, it is highly recommended and we will definitely come back again.

Delicious food. Friendly service.

What a nice thing and it was so tasty 😋

Absolutely recommended. Very friendly staff, food absolutely great and the boss just great 👍👍👍👍🤗

Super great ambience, super great food, great service, and a super great boss.😄

We came spontaneously and were there for the first time. We ordered the burgers. The quality (juicy/homemade patties) and the taste were unique. Recommended location.

We were once again at Restaurant de Brekken with friends and were pleased to find that the quality of the food and the service were significantly better than last season. We had Kibbeling, Wiener Schnitzel, the Brekken Burger and pork fillet with mushroom sauce. Everything was very tasty, beautifully presented and there were 3 baskets of fries plus fried potatoes. There was also a small bowl of mixed salad with a really tasty dressing, plus gratinated chicory. The drinks were well poured. This time we had nothing to complain about. That's why I've updated my last post. Keep it up dear Brekken team. It remains quite lively at times, so make reservations in good time.

The food was delicious and you can look directly at the boat outside the window. I would go here again

Delicious food, very extensive menu, pleasantly busy and friendly staff

Although we didn't make a reservation on Easter Sunday, four of us were able to eat there. The food was very good. The service was very attentive and friendly. Recommended.

+ A nice and beautiful tent to sit in the evening. +Food was great!, - beer kills in every glass. As beer lovers, we thought this was a no-go.

The food was very good, it was pricey, but very good. Very friendly service.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere. Recommended!

Good food, drinks and organizing very fun things

We had a great meal again and the greeting alone is so personal that we enjoy coming here.

Unfortunately, as a vegetarian you don't have much choice here. You can only choose from different types of burgers. It's a shame, other restaurants now have a much more extensive menu for vegetarians. Side dishes could also be a bit more varied than just some bowls of fries and a bowl of salad. I see comments below about the loud live music on Christmas Day. Unfortunately we had that experience too, you couldn't understand each other and had to really shout to say something. Those 3 minutes that the owner is talking about below are certainly not correct, it was much longer.

Unfortunately, the volume of the live band was too loud (94db) to chat quietly during the Christmas dinner with family. But the food was fine!

Wij hebben hier heerlijk gegeten tijdens de kerstdagen. Gewoon van de dagelijkse kaart te bestellen. De gerechten lijken redelijk aan de prijs te zijn, maar je krijgt dan ook een bord vol met eten, wat zeker de gevraagde prijs waard is. Prachtige gerechten en zeer smakelijk. Wel jammer dat er maar 1 sport soep te bestellen was. Verder een prachtige locatie met een zeer gezellig aangeklede entourage.

Just ate here. Was fantastic! Good service and nice live music! Had a great evening! Definitely come here again! 😉👌🏼

Super delicious Jägerschnitzel!

Delicious food! Positively surprised.

Great restaurant, pub, tasty, friendly, good music, so fun

Top location, with excellent cuisine. A cozy atmosphere. And very pleasant service. Highly recommended.

Everything was great!! The Wiener Schnitzel was truly a delight. Of course we'll be back.

Tasty food and not too expensive. Beautiful spot on the water and a large terrace to choose a spot. Service was excellent with friendly people.

Super delicious food, it couldn't be better, the sauces were all a dream, especially the peanut sauce. Someone knows how to cook. THANKS

We were there on vacation. Tasty food, good selection, nice service and very dog ​​friendly!

Wir waren hier im Rahmen eines kleinen Geburtstagsessen. reserviert und bestätigt wurden unsere Tische draußen auf Terrasse. Zugegeben, das Wetter hätte besser sein können, aber wir wurden drinnen platziert ohne Nachfrage und Kommunikation. Die Terrasse war jedoch geöffnet und gut besucht. Wir haben anfänglich sehr lange warten müssen, bis die Getränke aufgenommen wurden. Der Service durch den ganzen Abend war sehr langsam. Teilweise gingen ihr zur Theke um überhaupt Getränke bestellen zu könne. Es wurden auch nur verzögert die Tische abgeräumt. Die Wartezeit aufs Essen war ebenfalls zu lang. Deutlich über 1,5 Stunden Wartezeit. Die Speisen waren durchweg in Ordnung. Da gab es nichts zu meckern. Auch hier mussten aber Beilagen bspw. Nachbestellt werden, weil sie fehlten. Als wir zahlten und gingen (weit über eine Stunde nach dem Essen) war noch immer kein einziger Teller abgeräumt. Das geht einfach nicht. Besonders vor dem Hintergrund, dass es nicht am Stress lag. Der Service war einfach schlampig und beschäftigte sich lieber mit den Kollegen als den Gästen. Fazit: Schönes Ambiente, toller Lage am Hafen, ordentliche Speisenqualität, miserabler Service.

Food was very delicious but the portions are a bit tiny. The sides come on an extra plate for the whole table and more can be ordered free of charge. Or at least that is how it is stated in the menu. When we asked for an extra portion of sides because one portion for three people wasn’t enough it never came. When we asked a second time where our sides were and if we could have more they also never came. It didn’t really matter since we already finished our main meals and our plates were taken away so we just left a bit hungry. Perhaps they were understaffed but if it is stated on the menu it should be expected to come after ordering it a second time.

Have been coming here for years with satisfaction. A big disappointment tonight. Side dishes very limited and far too little service. Main courses were not served at the same time (more than 5 minutes apart) so we had to wait a long time. After receiving the menu for dessert, no one showed up for 20 minutes. We decided to pay and get dessert elsewhere. This wasn't good today.

Very attentive and friendly staff, drinks and food were served quickly. Everything was delicious and large portions. Thank you

The service was very nice. The food was also very tasty 😋 and plentiful.

The facility was very well maintained and the food was varied. Children's menu available. Recommended for anyone who wants to eat comfortably.

Great atmosphere! Very very attentive staff! Totally friendly! The food was very good!! The live band topped it off! Great! 😁 Keep it up💪

If you really want delicious burgers, you should eat there.

Enjoy your meal. Nice personel.

Rich selection, large portions, very tasty and tasty, very attentive service

We had dinner there last night. It was delicious and the service was very polite

After a long time we visited restaurant "de Breken" again. I ordered a schnitzel and it was definitely not tender and tasty. It seemed as if it had been baked or reheated for the second time. Unlike previous experiences where you were served enough food, this time it was very little.

Very unfriendly, after waiting an hour for the order the kitchen was closed. We left hungry and all the restaurants were closed. No apology and no restitution. They insisted on paying for two drinks. “Thanks” to this restaurant our evening was ruined.

If you want to get to know Dutch hospitality, this is the right place for you.

great service, delicious food. I highly recommend it :)

Delicious food and good service, worth repeating.

We often ate there. Everything was always super tasty. Steak always cooked to perfection. Side dishes absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly and accommodating. Gladly again

The food was tasty and good, the service was not okay. Took a long time and didn't arrive. We forgot to bring the sauce that came with the order. Drinking was once and nothing else. (I think there were not enough staff on that evening) After asking for the menu again for a dessert, they never came again. We left after waiting 20 minutes. Very sorry.

The fair music was really nice and we sat on the terrace

Everything was perfect and very tasty.

Always great, enjoy coming there.

Cozy casual atmosphere. Delicious food for a reasonable price.

I can only recommend eating there. Great service good food.

I had dinner at this place and the hamburger I got was really very good, while the fries were good but the frying was a bit heavy. Overall I was satisfied

When we arrived we almost went back. Luckily we didn't do that. From the outside it looks very atmospheric (the rain didn't help either). What a surprise when we entered the restaurant! A beautiful modern and cozy place. We had a great meal, portions were large. Highly recommended!

Went for dinner with our group of friends, Tour de Schnitzel. Everything perfect. Also price quality. Enjoyed the sun and food on the terrace.

We ate ourselves quite full at the Easter brunch at the Breken. Wow, there were so many delicious treats! And when we were completely full, there was also a dessert buffet!

De bediening is super vriendelijk en doen erg goed hun best. Het eten daarin tegen is matig. De ene biefstuk veel te rauw de andere bijna doorgebakken. Duurde ook allemaal lang. Waarschijnlijk door personeels gebrek.

Had Easter brunch yesterday just like last year. Eating moderately, many products consumed quickly, lukewarm and simple food Service was also mediocre. Little to nothing for vegetarians, no signs with what you eat with the products would be useful because of allergens.

We ordered takeaway on Saturday, March 30, 2024 and were very excited. The food, even though it was take away, was very lovingly prepared. The food was very tasty and plentiful. From appetizer to dessert, simply delicious! Only recommended

Very nice staff, the food was very rich and the restaurant is comfortably furnished.

We were warmly welcomed and the food tasted good, I had the spare ribs and they were very tasty, the service was friendly and somewhat attentive, so I can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience

Nice restaurant, tasty food and friendly staff.

Great location, great food, very friendly service

Service and food (buffet/catering) were excellent.

Always good food and excellent service. Delivered to your home is also tasty and nice that this option is available. The price-quality ratio is still right at this restaurant.

New Year's Day, so I don't feel like cooking! Texas burger, chunks burger and bread ordered via home delivery! Was delivered promptly by a friendly delivery person within the estimated time! I had made a note with the brassenburger that it had to be “well done”, because raw meat is not allowed to be eaten! Unpack everything and sit at the table! Unfortunately, the burger soon turned out to be completely raw on the inside... Normally this would be tasty, but being pregnant this didn't seem like a good idea... so I threw the burger in the pan myself... The Texas burger was very tasty (also partly raw, but that wasn't a problem here). I wasn't sure whether fries would be included, but they were included! With applesauce, mayo and small salad! Bread tasted good too! All in all, after a bit of home cooking, we still had a delicious meal!

We enjoyed the delicious food and the great service! Delicious Bauernschnitzel, fish, cocktails and so on

Great food, but you have to order it in advance and pick it up at the restaurant

Nice menu card, with reasonable prices.

Super delicious food, friendly staff, cozy interior!

Alles gut, ich komme mal wieder vorbei, ich kann nicht viel sagen da ich nur kurz bei euch war, aber das war gut 👍

Leider muss ich meine alte und gute Bewertung zurück nehmen. Waren jetzt leider zum zweiten Mal innerhalb der letzten 2 Monate wirklich enttäuscht. Die Tintenfischringe als Vorspeise waren immer sehr lecker und schmeckten klasse. Auch heute leider wider, waren die Tintenfischringe wirklich schlecht. Total stark frittiert, so trocken und schlechter als TK-Ware. Mann konnte die Ringe durchbrechen. Auch die Schnitzel waren zu lange in Fritteusenfett und dadurch genau wie die Pommes, viel zu dunkel und trocken. Der Nachtisch war zwar ganz lecker aber für den hohen Preis auch sehr klein. Schade, aber im Moment aus unserer Sicht eher nicht zu empfehlen. Das Personal war auch sehr unaufmerksam und wir wurden auch gar nicht beachtet, sonst hätten wir sicherlich mehr Getränke bestellt.

Wir waren jetzt zum ersten Mal dort Essen und waren positiv überrascht! Sehr angenehmes Ambiente und super Essen. Das Steak war auf den Punkt und der Burger war auch top. Preis/Leistung echt top.

Vanavond hebben wij voor het eerst ons eten bij jullie besteld, en thuis laten bezorgen. Het eten was er vlot, het werd erg netjes en warm geleverd, in zeer ruime porties. Het smaakte heerlijk. Alle sausjes zaten netjes in kleine bakjes. Al met al dus een super ervaring en zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!!

Hierbij wil ik het vriendelijke personeel bedanken voor het heerlijke eten en drinken zoals het hoort te zijn!! De spareribs en schnitzel waren heerlijk van smaak en zeer ruim geserveerde bijgerechten. Zelf dronk ik limochello met tonic en deze werd ruim geserveerd (ik kom weinig horeca gelegenheden tegen die nog ouderwets schenken) de jonge serveerster was zeer attent en vriendelijk. Dat is het waard om 2uur te rijden.

Hat uns dort sehr gut gefallen und das Essen war vorzüglich

Het eten was verder goed maar ik vond de uiensoep niet echt naar uiensoep smaken. Het was aan de zoete kant. De tonijnsteak was verrukkelijk.

Sehr lecker! Hat aber sehr lange gedauert bis das Essen serviert wurde!

Heerlijk gegeten, de varkenshaas met spek is zeker aan te raden

We hebben hier al jaren ervaring en onlangs voor 30 personen een Italiaanse share-dining gegeven. Het was buiten zeer gezellig en feestelijk aangekleed. Het personeel was enthousiast en leuk met de gasten. Eten was fantastisch. Complimenten voor de kok ‘Sjoeke’! Een feestelijk diner in de ondergaande zon met uitzicht op het water. Een aanrader.

Bardzo fajna restauracja. Znaleźliśmy ją przy okazji wizyty w de Orchideeën Hoeve i zdecydowanie możemy je wszystkim polecić. Miła obsługa, fajna lokalizacja, obok duży darmowy parking i przede wszystkim bardzo dobre jedzenie w dobrych cenach. Wszystko co zamówiliśmy było bardzo smaczne. Polecam!

Lekker eten en fijne bediening!

Heerlijk gegeten. De inktvisringen waren heerlijk dun. Spareribs goed gaat en lekkere Marinade. De crème brulee was zo groot als een ontbijtbord. Duitse porties volgens onze gastheer. Het personeel was zeer attent en in voor een geintje. Zeker een aanrader

Echt heelijk gegeten voor een goede prijs. Mooie locatie en goede bediening. Buiten heb je uitzicht op de boten die in de haven liggen.

Super leckeres Schnitzel und guter , flinker Service.

Gemütlich drinnen und draußen sitzen bei freundlichem Personal und gutem Essen

Boven verwachting! Op zo'n unieke locatie met 'lagere' prijzen verwachtte ik niet zulk lekker eten. De service was ook top; de eigenaar kwam zelfs even langs om te verifiëren dat het goed was. Dus bij deze; de vijf sterren ;)

Een prima plek om lekker te eten
