Awesome place! Great AUTHENTIC German food. Staff are super friendly, speak English well enough,and are very welcoming to ex-pats. We were there on a Sunday night that included a rowdy footballer crowd. Lots of fun and everyone enjoyed beers and a good time! Highly recommend!

Went in for dinner on a Monday that was supposed to be a quiet day, but my chance the place was absolutely packed.

Friendly and homely atmosphere. Good food. Lots of laughs. Big recommendation!

This was by far the worst restaurant experience in my life, anywhere in the world I've been!
First, we booked the restaurant on Google maps for a group of people. When we arrived there (10 min before the booking time), they told us that there is no space because someone else just took a big table, and they don't really honour the Google bookings. We were about to leave to try a Vietnamese restaurant nearby, when they told us to stay after all, saying there is a table available for us, but it is in a bowling alley. The table was just a regular table in a regular, albeit long, room. It was incredibly hot in that room though. We were waiting for an hour to even get the menu, and another half an hour to place the order, which was only possible after physically stopping the waitress to serve us. Initially I felt sorry for her for having to serve an entire room by herself, but later her obnoxious behaviour relieved me from any pity towards her. She told us that if we order anything else than sausage, we will have to wait up to an hour, so we ordered sausage, which was promised to be delivered in 30-40 min. After an hour of waiting, we inquired, then they said 10 min, and then again. Only when we threatened to leave (almost 3 hours after arriving there), they served us. One of the dishes had a tetrapack corner cut mixed with the potatoes! They exchanged it (it took only 3 min now!), and they offered us complementary 0.2l beer per person. This was a nie gesture, however they didn't ask if we wanted it, and the person who found this piece of rubbish in his food was not drinking alcohol. Also, before that they brought us too many beers, and when we said we ordered 6, not 7, they said they don't care, we have to pay anyway. The entire night was incredibly loud and we asked for the speaker to be turned down a bit, but the waitress said that one of the customers has the remote control and she can't do anything about it. When it came to paying, I was charged more, and I had to argue with the waiter, asking her to bring me the menu to show her that I was being overcharged, as she didn't have a fiscal cash register, randomly writing prices on a beer coaster instead. After 3 hours of waiting for food in overheated and super noisy environment, and finding trash in your meal, you would expect at least a discount, not a surcharge! And seal the bad experience, they told us we can't pay by card, only cash, and were reluctant to give us receipt! This place was a joke!

Longest waiting time I have experienced in a restaurant. I understand that it was very busy that day but the service we received was unacceptable.

I did not like the food at all. Smelled badly.

Exceptional good potato dishes, like fried (not deep fried) and baked potatoes. I don't know a better place for that. The other dishes are all very hearty German food from the region as well and mostly good to very good quality. Great place for travelers to try the cuisine from the region.

Now comes the kicker though, when you are outside you'd not expect to find good food here, since it is a football (FC Köln) club pub. So the atmosphere is a bit shabby. Further a problem I'd like to see fixed is the smell from the bathrooms that at times finds it's way into the dining room.

When you go here, you as well have to consider a longer waiting time, but the great food is worth it. Prices are very fair.

BTW. there is one daily dish at lunch time offered for only about 5-5,50€. Usually it is a good choice.

PS: To point out the great food I decided for 5 stars, even though there are some shortcomings.
