Imbiss bei Schorsch not only serves the tastiest currywurst in Hamburg, but also delicious potato salad and shashlik. The restaurant has been around for 50 years and is popular with visitors from near and far.

Dishes like at mum's

These simple but delicious dishes make you feel right at home. Schorsch's snack bar is well-known for its extra hot currywurst with a delicious, super-secret tomato sauce. Tradition is a priority here, and the recipes bring guests closer to a real piece of Hamburg history. The owner's wish is that it should taste "just like mum's", so Ingrid's homemade potato salad replaces the chips usually served with currywurst. The snack bar is a real gem which provides the ultimate feel-good effect.

Authentic and home-made

It is particularly remarkable that the snack bar has been around for 50 years and that Chef Artur and his currywurst queen Ingrid still put so much love into preparing the dishes today. 

Long opening hours

Night owls in particular are always pleased that the snack bar is open daily from 10:30 am to 10 pm. So, there's plenty of time to stop by and there's no rush when eating here. The snack bar sees the most visitors at weekends, mainly in the evenings. We recommend having a currywurst at lunchtime, as the place tends to be less busy at that time. If guests would rather enjoy a meal at home, they can also order the delicious dishes.

The guest is king

Time and again, guests report that the service at Schorsch's snack bar is excellent. The owners pay a lot of attention to people and are happy to share conversations. Pictures of guests hang on the iconic photo wall in the snack bar – so you also leave a little piece of yourself behind. This not only looks great, but also creates a friendly and cosy atmosphere.
