Spijkers Heemskerk in Wijk 03 Hofland, Oosterwijk en Zuidbroek

Nicely decorated, friendly staff, and the food was delicious. The pork tenderloin was excellent, and the spareribs were so tender they slid off the bone effortlessly.

After several very good experiences at Spijkers in IJmuiden and Heiloo, it was a different story at Spijkers in Heemskerk. Yesterday (August 18, 2026) at 6:30 PM, I walked in. About 50% of the tables were occupied, so there were still many empty tables. When I asked if a table for 3 people was available, I was asked a counter-question: "Have you made a reservation?" I hadn't, and I was told that there were no tables available. I should have reserved. So I walked back to my car, and outside, this waitress followed me, saying that there might still be a "small table" available after all. I did not accept this offer. I did not feel welcome.

Tasty food at a reasonable price

Nice ambiance. Cozy place and also a beautiful terrace where you can sit comfortably. Extensive menu with plenty of choice. Friendly service and great food. You can park here for free.

We had two delicious meals here in a short time.

I have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Since the new owner took over, it has only gotten better. Always delicious food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. The service is top-notch and you feel truly welcome. Definitely recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had delicious mustard soup. Highly recommended. Good flavor with a slight kick. Also a delicious Pinot Grigio and excellent bitterballen.

Delicious food and friendly staff

Had a delicious lunch, nice spot for a bite to eat. And still affordable.

We had a delicious meal and the service was very good. It's a shame it's not in a very beautiful location, but we still enjoyed sitting outside. As far as I'm concerned, smoking on the outdoor terrace should be banned, but that is just my personal opinion.

The food was perfect! But the service by Thomas made the evening complete! Compliments to Thomas!!!

Had a lovely lunch outside. The service is friendly and professional. The food is fine, the place is easy to reach by car, and there is ample free parking.

Had a super delicious meal. And very happy with Bryan from the waitstaff. Bryan has the right skills for serving. Thank you.

Had a great meal! Friendly service, and the timing was okay... I think they learned something from the previous reviews, or they were unjustified.

We were served a complimentary bread roll beforehand. Afterwards, we had a delicious Tom Kha Kai soup. For the main course, we had incredibly tender veal rib-eye and pork tenderloin with brie, which was beautifully medium-rare and not dry. The service was friendly and the staff regularly came to ask if the food was good and if we wanted to order more drinks. Highly recommended for next time.

We ate here for my grandpa's birthday and we are all very satisfied! Super friendly staff who know what they are doing, and a nice atmosphere to go with it! The food was delicious too, and there is a wide selection of dishes (starters, main courses, and desserts). Definitely recommended!

A very nice restaurant with beautiful floral decorations on the table 🌷 We had a very good meal, the portions were very generous, and the service was perfect. Thank you very much 😉

You can get delicious, high-quality food here, and the staff is friendly.

Just a cozy establishment, courteous staff, delicious food. No hassle with parking The covered outdoor area feels like you are really sitting on the street, and has a friendly atmosphere. Great

Excellent and tasty food. Also close to the highway.

Nice restaurant to enjoy a coffee/drink and a tasty lunch after a brisk walk. Friendly waitress.

Great restaurant and atmosphere. Highly recommended!

We regularly visit Spijkers Heemskerk and are always satisfied. Even though it's packed, the service is fast and good, as is the food. Yesterday afternoon, we were truly astonished. We arrived for lunch around 1:15 PM. It was quiet for Spijkers, with only four tables occupied. It took a while for our drink orders to be taken and for us to receive the lunch menu. After ordering, we weren't asked if we wanted anything else to drink. There were four people behind the bar, one woman constantly on her phone, one waiter doing almost all the work, and the rest remained behind the bar. After 45 minutes, I asked if the kitchen was busy because it was taking so long. I was told that other people wanted to eat too. After an hour, we finally received our lunch and were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Unfortunately, my husband's satay was tough and overcooked, and my hamburger was also completely dry. When one of the waiters came to ask if everything was alright, we told him the food was tough and dry and that we thought it was taking a long time. He said, "Oh, sorry, that's not how it should be. I'll pass it on to the kitchen." That was it, and we heard nothing more... We're so not used to this at Spijkers, but they won't be seeing us again...

The high tea at 27.50 per person consisted of a stepped element covered in thawed frozen pastries; nothing was fresh except for the chocolate. The table was a complete mess of unnecessary clutter. The teapots were crumpled on the table, piping hot (untouchable), among the mess. A small soup was served beforehand, which made 3 of the 12 family members sick. A complete scam. Never again!

The food was delicious. The spare ribs are highly recommended, and the tuna tataki is also delicious. Our waitress, Ilse... she's the kind you always want at your table. Kudos to her.

We had a lovely meal. Friendly staff. Thought it took a while before we got our menu. The starter was very tasty, the main course (burger) was okay, though I don't think it was a fresh, handmade burger.

The food is always excellent and the atmosphere is always great, friendly service!

Had a wonderful dinner tonight. Delicious food.

We had a fantastic conversation about our party. While enjoying a cup of coffee, they discussed all our wishes. They even thought about our daughter, who got a candy with her lemonade. They were very helpful.

Since Google deleted my previous review at Spijkers' request, I'm writing a more detailed version here. We organized a birthday party here. We were told we could play our own music through the system they had in place. On the day itself, they said the music wasn't working and only the standard playlist. When we brought this up afterward, we were told it was our own fault. We were told beforehand that one of us had to eat gluten-free. That wouldn't be a problem. We were served toast with toppings. Between them was a thick slice of cucumber with the same topping. I can tell you, it's not very tasty. Moreover, the toasts touched the cucumber, and there was cross-contamination. This isn't the first time. Last time I was here, I asked for gluten-free bread. It ended up being regular bread. When I pointed this out, the response I got was, "You'd just push it aside." That's not how an autoimmune disease works. Anyway. The food is otherwise excellent.

We went out to dinner with someone who has celiac disease (a gluten allergy). We notified them in advance, informed them on the day of the meal, and again before ordering, yet the order still came with a piece of toast. The person then indicated they had a gluten allergy, to which they were told, "You'll just eat around it." It's a shame to see that the staff isn't sufficiently aware of allergies and the consequences. We advise against this restaurant for people with a gluten allergy!

I attended a large party at Spijkers in Heemskerk. The evening started well; we were allowed to decorate the reserved room in advance (as long as we cleaned it up neatly at the end of the evening). Later in the evening, when the guests arrived and the party began, there were a few sloppy mistakes here and there. It had been communicated in advance that one of the guests has a gluten allergy, and in my opinion, this wasn't properly taken into account. All the small snacks (think toast with all sorts of toppings) were served on the same tray, with the gluten-free snack placed in the middle of the tray. That's not how it should be, of course. The service, however, was fast but not always friendly. I don't want to tar all the staff with the same brush, but some didn't seem very interested. The snacks were fine, but it was a real shame that no consideration was given to the gluten allergy and that the food wasn't handled "professionally" (it would have been nice if someone had apologized for the mistake, as it can happen, but an apology is appropriate).

Great place Just make sure you specify which party is where and who owns it.

Had a great lunch, it was so delicious

I've been there several times. It's an excellent restaurant in a great location. The food is delicious and the plates are neatly presented. The service is very friendly. Highly recommended.

Had a nice lunch, friendly service.

Nice place, with good food and friendly staff

Had a lovely lunch, friendly staff, and was able to sit outside

High tea. They make sure you get sufficient tea.

Nice place to eat. The guys and girls are friendly and hospitable. We love coming here.

Well, good and bad. I think the quality of the food is very good. But it's so small. If I choose the most expensive cut of meat for 35 euros (grilled flat iron steak), I expect a steak, not a measly piece of meat weighing no more than 100-125 grams. At (for example) Loetje, I get twice as much for the same price. And again, the service was very friendly, the quality is good, but for 36 euros, I want to be full after eating, and I wasn't anywhere near that. Now, I also understand why they don't list the weight of the meat on the menu. It's a shame, because this was (for me) a one-time, never again.

Don't go here for the service! The staff were more busy with each other than with their tables! It took ages to get your menu, and you had to go to the bar yourself to order drinks. I asked for the bill, but I didn't get it. I had to ask another colleague again. They could use a course in customer service!

The chicken thigh sandwich was excellent. Delicious and served quickly. Too much for one person, so we shared it between the two of us. The staff were nice girls and a guy. Very friendly and professional. We had to be in the area, but I'll make a detour for Spijkers.

Unfortunately, we had a bad experience at Spijkers tonight. In memory of my grandmother, we had a family dinner with 10 people after her cremation. After asking twice over a 25-minute period (!) if we could have the menu, we decided to look it up online ourselves. The daily menu was sold out, so we quickly chose something else. The wait for our dish also took 25 minutes. Unfortunately, the meat wasn't very good, mostly tough and not very tender. Afterward, they didn't even ask if we were interested in dessert. Basically, the service was very poor and the quality wasn't great for a standard price. I don't recommend this restaurant.

Heerlijk gegeten . Goeie portie spareribs. Ook de andere gerechten: heerlijk. Gratis glaasje water bIj de wijn, brood en onbeperkt frietjes.

The wrong delivery to the table three times. €5.00 for a small bowl of fries (a handful) was ridiculously expensive. The "spijker" burger with fries was a real flop. The hamburger bun was very small...the fries were half a handful. It was absolutely awful. The taste was fine. The grilled cheese sandwich was pretty good. Price...€51.00🤮🥵🥴 No, they'll never see me there again.

Hele slechte bediening Lang wachten Eten was slecht biefstuk en varkenshaas doorgebakken Prijs kwaliteits verhouding heel slecht Hier niet heen gaan

Super delicious food! We could understand each other well:-). Super staff who still know what pampering and service is.

Great place for lunch. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Fantastic food and ambiance. Outside is smoking area. Friendly and very attentive staff. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area again. Try the Kalf's Rib-Eye won't let you down.

the food is very good. the noisy room. The service a little long.

Nice dine in experience. Food was lovely and service too.

Good price/quality ratio and friendly service.

Was a nice place with a warm atmosphere. I gave it 4 stars as we had a long lunch and the children and our daughter was quite clearly board, as there is nothing to accommodate childrens play or amusement.

Delicious food for an equally good price. Super friendly service Lovely seating areas outside and inside

Op het eten is niets aan te merken. Maar op de bediening des te meer, wat een vreselijke bediening. Twee man in de bediening terwijl het restaurant vol zat en buiten op het terras. Wij waren er met veertien man om onze verjaardag te vieren, om half een iedereen binnen, en om een uur kwamen ze aan tafel wat we wilden drinken, om tien voor half twee het eerste drankje naar binnen gewerkt. Personeel er op aangesproken, onze baas wil niet investeren in meer personeel. Wat een aanfluiting voor zo'n zaak. Daar laat men wat geld weglopen. Wij hadden van tevoren de afspraak gemaakt als de glazen leeg zijn meteen weer bij vullen, niets van terecht gekomen. Dit was voor ons de laatste keer. Meer mensen gesproken met dezelfde ervaring. Trieste zaak.

Very slow and poor service at nails in Heemskerk, first of all it took a long time before some drinks arrived and not all at the same time, during the first round there was a fifteen minute gap between the first glass and the last glass they put down, if you say something about it you are told that they have more tables, after asking for the menu four times you are told each time that they have more tables, in the end the food was on the table but they had forgotten 1 person, after 20 minutes everyone had finished it. except for 1 person, so we canceled it, you could no longer order certain dishes that were sold out and the barrel of beer had also run out, so we switched to another brand, but that can of course happen, so all in all a bad experience and no one apologized or apologized for, but after a lot of whining a round of drinks was deducted from the bill and of course 1 dish that was not accepted.

Wij hadden een verjaardag van oma die 85 werd met 15 man die niet helemaal goed verliep, ten eerste moesten wij een half uur wachten op een drankje, na een half uur vroegen wij ook de kaart maar die kwam maar niet na drie keer de kaart te hebben gevraagd werd er gezegd dat er meer tafels waren en dat ze niet alles gelijk kunnen doen, na de bestelling kregen we na een uur het eten maar niet alles te gelijk dus maar wachten tot alles was opgediend maar dat duurde te lang. Na 15 minuten maar weer een klacht ingediend, het personeel reageerde zeer onbeschoft dus we zijn maar gaan eten en dat ene gerecht maar laten zitten. We hebben na afloop gezegd dat we niet alles gaan betalen maar dat ging ook niet zomaar, we hebben een rondje drankjes niet hoeven betalen en van niemand een sorry gehoord, alles bij elkaar zeer onbeschoft en zeker niet klantvriendelijk.

This used to be a nice restaurant. Under the current name, things are different: we waited 45 minutes for the menu, 15 minutes of waiting until the last 2 guests in our group of 15 people had their drinks and we could toast. Then I asked about it at the bar. The starter was delicious, 1 lady's main course never came and took so long that the others were already half ready. Arguing with the service about the bill... they still have a lot to learn and because there was no guidance from an older person, these 3 youngsters had to arrange it themselves with the guests and they were not ready for that yet. Too bad, the atmosphere was quite busy. The food is delicious by the way.

Unfortunately, even though the sandwich was tasty, it is not a sight when you enter somewhere and the tables are full of dishes. And not because it was so busy, no, just no one really felt like cleaning up. It was clearly an afternoon without a manager around. By the way, the staff could complain out loud about their work, even over the table with dishes.

We hadden een high wine. Een super goed begin met een jongeman die alles netjes had uitgelegd. Het was zijn eerste keer en deed het super goed. Op het eind hadden wij een rode dessertwijn. Hierbij kregen bij ijs met caramel en noten. Beide afzonderlijk heel lekker, als combi vonden wij dit niet zo passen. Wij gaven dit aan bij een vrouw van de bediening ( mogelijk de leidinggevende van de avond). Zij zei, dat ze het zelf wel lekker vindt als combinatie en liep naar ons zeggen arrogant weg. Het kwam op ons over alsof ze niet tegen kritiek kon. Helaas was dit toch een kanttekening van onze avond, terwijl de rest heel lekker was. Wanneer iets volgens de gast niet helemaal naar wens is kan je dit toch beter anders ontvangen... hopelijk leest ze dit zelf en denkt ze hierover na...

We didn't have that long and when we indicated this we were helped very quickly. 2 delicious large salads with fries. Start with a sandwich with aioli from the company. Add some fries. Absolutely great. Friendly, smooth and cheerful service, delicious food, large portions and normal prices!

Delicious hare satay. But 1 minus point. A tiny bottle of (Pepsi)cola of only 0.2l...... 1 sip and it's gone. This mini size is a shame for any catering company and belongs at most on the children's menu; this format simply should not be offered to an adult. A shame because it really detracts from the hospitality that Spijker wants to evoke.

Prima gegeten en de bediening was netjes en goed. Wat een drama was is de akoestiek. Een groep die dominant aanwezig is dan kun je elkaar slecht verstaan. Een nagerecht hebben wij maar overgeslagen want het werd gewoon irritant.

Delicious food, nice service. The onion soup is highly recommended

Cozy place for a drink, food or a party. Everything well arranged and taken care of.

They managed to hit the nail on the head with a Christmas dinner, with a hospitable welcome, a well-groomed team, an atmospheric ambiance and a more than successful four-course dinner with the necessary surprises, in short, a wonderful evening.

Nice location, easily accessible by car, food was very tasty and nice, friendly service! Will definitely come back here again, highly recommended!

Reserved for 12 hours. Ordered drinks at 12.05 and we didn't receive the drinks until 1.00 pm. The food was tasty and good, but there was very little staff present,

Very tasty food and quick service, we enjoyed it and our dog was also allowed to come along!! Thank you!

Bij Spijkers was het geen probleem om onze hond mee te nemen. (Voor ons is dit belangrijk.) We hebben aller lekkerst gegeten. Beiden een verrassend voorgerecht. Veel verschillende structuren en smaken. Ons hoofdgerecht was ook zalig! Feedback: het vegetarische gerecht was( voor mij) eigenlijk iets te royaal. De helft zou al heerlijk genoeg zijn geweest. Omdat het zo ontzettend lekker was, àlles opgegeten. Vanwege een afspraak konden we geen toetje meer nemen helaas. Daar komen we graag eens voor terug.

We were here for a family member's birthday and left early after a drink due to the enormous noise in this tent. There is no sound insulation whatsoever in this building, it was deafening inside and I couldn't even hear the person next to us.

Had a delicious meal here on a Thursday evening with a group of friends of 10 people. The food was fine, the panna cotta was heavenly. I cannot leave out the nice selection of specialty beers on tap.

++ Personnel très gentil et souriant. - - Une fois les boissons servies, nous avons réclamé la cart au bout de 15 minutes d'attente..... vaut mieux car une fois commandé, il faut au moins 20 minutes pour être servi. Des plats préparés d'une drôle de façon. Carpaccion couvert de tomates séchées, baignant dans une sauce salade, pas une pignon de pin à l'horizon, heureusement qu'il y avait quelque copaux de parmesan.... franchement pas bon et absolument pas conforme au plat original. Idem pour la flammenkueche, pâte trop épaisse, recette original demande des lardons, ognions etc... pas un lardon ou ognion à l'horizon, mais de la viande éffillée et couverte de sauce barbecue.... franchement dégeu. Nous ne reviendrons pas

Food was very good....will definitely come back.

Good food for an excellent price. Flammkuchen was good and the rib eye with gorgonzola was perfectly seasoned.

Great place. Had a nice evening

Fantastic place. The only disadvantage is very noisy when it is busy. Food is very tasty. Free parking and plenty of space.

We had a delicious meal after a day in the sauna, partly thanks to the enthusiastic service! Beautiful location, where they will definitely come back... Big kudos girls!!!

We had white bread with spiced chicken and avocado and spicy garlic sauce, something to die for. It didn't even fit on the 2 fresh rolls, delicious.

Unfortunately there were too few staff and it took too long before anything could be ordered at all.

Pleasant service. But quite pricey.

Cozy restaurant, good menu and kitchen. Both indoor and outdoor terraces with ample parking. Good atmosphere and cuisine. Pleasant service

I recently read a review about Spijkers and got a kind of deja vu yesterday. We also just walked in, but were told that there would not be a table available if we had not made a reservation. A cheerful lady read the agenda and saw that there was a table available, provided we left before 6:45 PM. We took up that challenge. Fresh rolls from the house were still in the oven. The spry lady (wish I knew her name) remained prompt, but friendly and welcoming. After an appetizer, we were asked if the main course could be served immediately due to time. Fine! This was not noticeable in terms of taste. In the meantime it was filling up, but the staff remained attentive and fast. Small downside: the green beans were very hard and not cooked through. Too bad, because the rest was fine! For dessert I had a scropino. I was advised to beware of a brain freeze. We have made a reservation for October 5 due to birthdays. Hopefully the cheerful lady will be there again.

Wat een geweldig restaurant is dit. We wilde spontaan uit eten en bij binnenkomst bleek binnen vol geboekt te zijn. We hebben heerlijk op het terras gezeten en werden uitmuntend geholpen door het personeel. Vooraf kregen wij een broodje met smeersel van het huis. Drinken welke we besteld hadden kregen we snel. De kaart is ruim voorzien van allemaal diverse gerechten. Voor ieder wat wils. Er wordt super rekening gehouden met voedselallergieen. Het eten was echt mega lekker. We hadden een soort van biefstuk en wilde deze medium en dat was deze ook echt. Hoofd gerecht werd geserveerd met patat met mayo en een salade. Een restaurant waar we zeker vaker naar toe gaan. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk.

Very good food, friendly staff. Service could have been a little faster but not bad enough for a negative. I recommend responding, because it is regularly full. You can always park nearby in the parking lot of the shooting range/ski hall

Great place to have a bite to eat for a reasonable price. When we were there it was packed, but that didn't bother you. Super friendly staff.

Gisterenavond heerlijk gegeten en heel goed geholpen. Super bediening, snel en heel vriendelijk. Komen graag een keer terug!

Delicious lunch, super fresh bread, asparagus soup is highly recommended! Salmon sandwich was richly topped! A small croquette filled half of the sandwich, so you could empty your soup bowl with the other half! Friendly staff

As always very tasty food and a relaxing atmosphere, the only complaint is the view from the restaurant overlooking the parking lot. Maybe a little more greenery in the restaurant's garden.

Good menu, with excellent service. Thought the appetizers were a bit on the pricey side. Wide choice of desserts.

We waren met 3 gezinnen voor een high tea, en een gezellige middag, maar de super slechte bediening heeft dit voor ons verpest

Delicious food, everything was very good. Very friendly staff, the atmosphere of the restaurant was great.

I haven't been there for 2 years, today I was there and it's no longer so cozy on the terrace, trees gone, floor is bad with tables, terrace no longer what has been, plus the table we were sitting at was dirty was not cleaned, then I order a beer and the wine falls out. around the table under the beer was not cleaned again plus my slippers were nice and sticky the waiter dropped everything plus no compensation to give me a new beer on the house won't come again I find it bizarre so bad not recommended for people who still want to go

Delicious lunch was great and friendly staff

Maybe because I'm from Portugal, but I'm always shocked by the high prices of the dishes. Had 2 coffees and two eggs for 24 euros. Food was good.

Free parking Good ambiance restaurant Food and services are ok

The food was fine, well prepared and quite tasty. Yet there are plenty of restaurants where the food was considerably better than here. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant, there is almost nothing to complain about. The service, on the other hand, was very poor, the servers were very friendly, but there was an hour between the starter and the main course, so the appetite had already dropped considerably. The friendliness of the waitresses, the atmosphere and the excellent food have resulted in three stars instead of two.

Lekker gegeten. Vriendelijk personeel. Uitgebreid menu. Voor ieder wat wils. Ook vega beschikbaar. Tent zat helemaal vol op een dinsdagavond dat moet wat zeggen denk ik.

Bare, uncomfortable tent and a long wait for someone to take an order.
