    Prost!

    Yes, we went to an American style restaurant in Germany! Guilty as charged! We were walking around the town and wanted to get warm, so we ended up here. The decor is really fun, with even a toy train track near the ceiling that runs. once we got warm, we ordered, of course, some Hefeweizens. Served ice cold and the bartender was friendly and spoke English fluently. Free wifi as well! We returned the following day with some clients because they were craving steak. We did not have reservations so we had to wait for about 10 minutes for a table. Giving some advice, Germany is BIG on reservations, even during the week. Our waitress, Kassie, was fantastic. She was attentive and checked on us often. Our food was ok, nothing to rave about. There are vegetarian options, so I had a caesar salad and tomato soup.The dressing was a little odd and it was served in a fried tortilla bowl, which was weird. The tomato soup, though, was delicious. All at our table said the food was ok, but none cleaned their plate. In a nut shell, I would recommend Chicago Meatpackers for beverages and the fun decor, but the food was sub-par.

    I came with a big appetite and ordered the ribs and wings platter. I savoured the sweet bbq taste of both, it's almost perfect. Except that neither falls off the bone, which makes all the difference. I can't say I didn't enjoy it though, as my tiny self still cleaned up the plate. I also highly recommend the orange-something else-lemonade, soooo refreshing! If you must have alcohol, go for my order coming up next -- P.S. thank you miss waitress who taught us bartender slang - zwei Caipi, bitte!

    Go there if: - you are a big, loud and active group - you want to enjoy/live all the american sterotypes (meat, meat, meat) - Love burgers and beer - If you need a safe option, where nothing to big can go wrong - you want to behave like a real man (Bring Meat! I eat Meat! HUAR!) - are american DONT go there if: - You want a nice, lovely and romantic ambience - You have a vegetarian in your group - You want to eat something healthy - If you working hard to get in bikini shape PS Totally not-german-like: enter the meatpackers and wait to be seated. Veggie-Test: It's not the best option for having a veggie-day, but it'll work.

    We had our dinner late, around 8-8:30pm on a rainy Monday, so this may explain the great service and food we had. The place want very crowded, the service was VERY fast, and the food is top notch! We ordered the grilled chicken, grilled chicken salad, and original burger. Both the grilled chicken and the burger were very juicy, tender, and delicious! We both got the grilled veggies and they were well cooked and only lightly flavored. Not a fan of the salad, which was served in a fried tortilla bowl (more Mexican than Chicago). Note on the burgers - most places don't allow you to order cooking level, so just expect well done. I am a typical 'medium' burger person, but they did a great job because it was still really moist and tasty Only notch in the 4 out of 5 starts is the noise level. Could barely hear conversation at the table.

    I went here for dinner via recommendation of yelp. The place is easy to find and is in the bank area. Really a lot of people inside. it'weekend. But there is still place for single person like me. I was here to try ribs. Last time I tried ribs was in Berlin for business trip. So I want to make comparisons. the rib in this place is really good, juicy which tastes sweet, perhaps with lemon and honey in the sauce. The size of the rib is not that big and long compared with other places where I tried before. But I like it because it is easier to handle with folk or bare hand. The fry is too big per chip you can tell from my photo uploaded. I don't like but the fry's flavor is impressive. anyway I will try again in next trip.

    Cheers!

    See all

    Coming from the Midwest in the US and growing up on a farm, I can say the burgers are top notch. Cool decor with a train theme
