Die Speisekarte war abgespeckt, die gute alte Hausmannsküche die immer so toll war , ist nun die übliche Brauhauskarte wie überall. Dann wurde Ballermannmusik in einer Lautstärke abgespielt dass es anstrengend wurde sich zu unterhalten. Da die Lautstärke auch auf unsere Bitte hin nicht runtergedreht wurde, sind wir dann woanders hingegangen. Schade , schade, schade...

I stopped by here in the middle of the day to get a bite to eat and sample Reissdorf since I had…read morealready tasted Gaffel, Gilden, Fruh, Muhlen, Dom, and Sion. I was pretty hungry as well, and without even looking at the menu, I spotted a dish that another guy was eating so I just pointed to it and asked the server if I could have what that guy was eating. She was really nice and made sure I had a full, fresh glass at all times. My dish resembled a shake 'n bake pork chop, but the best shake 'n bake pork chop anyone has ever had. A side of potato salad and a tub of mustard complemented it just right. It was very low-key when I came in, but it looked like a great place to party.

Delirium Tremens is my favorite beer. If you haven't had it, you need to. And quickly. It's a…read moreBelgian beer and Belgian beers are almost always quality. When I was traveling to Rome last year, I discovered that the beer brand has bars in a bunch of countries (mostly Europe). To my surprise, I stumbled upon this location in Cologne. There was no way I was going to leave Germany without a visit. Service (5/5): I stopped by around 10:30 p.m. on a Monday night. The bartender was awesome. He's American, so we chatted about his immigration to Germany. He offered samples, let me go behind the bar to take a closer look at the bottled beers, and didn't rush us when closing time arrived. Service the way it should be. Ambiance (4.5/5): Delirium Cafe is a chill bar. Pretty much what you would want a beer bar to look like. Delirium signage in a bunch of places, and a good amount of seating. This location is much smaller than the one I visited in Rome, but it's cozy. Food (N/A): The Rome location has a full menu. No food here. But you can bring food from outside. There's a pizza spot on the same street, so I grabbed some takeout from there and had a glorious pizza + beer combo. Drinks (5/5): I mean it's my favorite beer after all. In addition to Delirium Tremens, they have three other Delirium varieties on tap, including Delirium Red, which is delicious. There are two other brands made by Delirium which I tried too. This was a nice surprise. A perfect end to an evening in Cologne.

There are several other fry places in the area, but this one had the most customers (locals to boot), and that's usually a sign of a good place. We were not disappointed. The super friendly guys working the stand were welcoming and while they didn't speak English, we had no problem communicating. We opted to share a "Normal" regular sized order of fries with a garlic mayo sauce. The stand prepares all their sauces fresh onsite every day, and you can tell. There are so many different flavors you can get, from spicy and creamy to exotic and creative. Since you have to pay extra for sauce (BOO, all fries should automatically include free sauce), I didn't want to try something too strange so we stuck with the basics. We waited less than five minutes and watched as our potatoes were fried up fresh to order. The packaging is clever and makes it so easy to share (but there are no tables or seats, so be prepared to eat while standing up or on the go). For less than ten bucks, this was a pretty tasty snack! The potatoes were an extra thick cut that had a ton of flavor. They tasted fresh and were super crispy on the outside, yet light and fluffy on the inside! They had a pretty golden yellow hue too, and the salt was just right. I liked that these fries were cooked in 100% vegetable oil instead of beef fat, which makes them suitable for vegetarians (watch out for the sauces, though, they aren't all vegetarian). This is a great stop if you love street food and fries in general. Oh: and watch out while you are standing in line! There are tons of pigeons that roost in the awnings above, and one teenager behind us got pooped on (so gross).
