Deutsche Übersetzung unten:…read more I am an American from Texas and was visiting the Schwelm area to attend the wedding of some dear friends. I saw this place and almost broke out laughing. The American theme of the restaurant was anything but subtle. I insisted that my German friends bring me here for dinner. I had a wonderful time. It is always fun seeing what America means to people in other countries. I expected the food to be very bad, but I found the hamburgers were totally legit. The only difference from American burgers was that they had tons of sauce drowning them, and the seasoning of the meat was a little different. I thought the fries were really good as well. The decorations inside were hilarious. I am a police officer, and I loved the statue of the highway patrol trooper. It was also neat that a customer arrived in a classic American muscle car (Chevrolet Chavelle) while we were there. However, I noticed that a lot of the customers were what we would call "douche bags" in America... Our waitress was very friendly, and the food came out fast. I love Germany, but it was neat getting a taste of home during my visit. I would recommend this place for anyone, but I think Americans will really enjoy it. Bin ein Amerikaner aus Texas und besuchte das Schwelm Gebiet, um die Hochzeit von einigen lieben Freunden zu besuchen. Ich habe diesen Ort gesehen und fast lachend ausgelöscht. Das amerikanische Thema des Restaurants war alles andere als subtil. Ich habe darauf bestanden, dass meine deutschen Freunde mich hier zum Abendessen bringen. Ich hatte eine wundervolle Zeit. Es ist immer lustig zu sehen, was Amerika für Menschen in anderen Ländern bedeutet. Ich erwartete das Essen sehr schlecht, aber ich fand die Hamburger total legitim. Der einzige Unterschied von den amerikanischen Burger war, dass sie Tonnen Sauce hatten, die sie ertränkten, und das Würzen des Fleisches war ein wenig anders. Ich dachte, die Pommes waren auch sehr gut. Die Dekorationen im Inneren waren urkomisch. Ich bin ein Polizeibeamter, und ich liebte die Statue der Autobahn Patrouille Trooper. Es war auch ordentlich, dass ein Kunde in einem klassischen amerikanischen Muskelauto (Chevrolet Chavelle) ankam, während wir dort waren. Allerdings habe ich festgestellt, dass viele der Kunden waren, was wir "douche Taschen" in Amerika nennen würden ... Unsere Kellnerin war sehr freundlich und das Essen kam schnell heraus. Ich liebe Deutschland, aber es war ordentlich, einen Vorgeschmack auf Zuhause während meines Besuchs zu bekommen. Ich würde dieses Hotel jedem empfehlen, aber ich denke, Amerikaner werden es wirklich genießen.

Did eat the bbq spareribs and they where Very good. It was served together with a "bratkartoffel"…read moreand a lot of sauce (separated). The Waitress was also very friendly. The price of the spareribs was under 11 euro's. UPDATE: Some days later, I went to the same restaurant and ordered the same dish. It has to be an other cook, because the portion was 40% less and the meat was dryer. So I changed My 5 stars to 3.

FOOD & DRINKS I simply love burgers with bacon and a sunny…read moreside up egg. Changing things up a bit to my taste wasn't an issue at all. They also have a good selection of vegetarian and vegan options which also covers their selection of milkshakes! It is always sad if you go to a burger place and your vegetarian friend only has one option while your vegan friends can't even enjoy the milkshake variations. They didn't ask how I want my burger so I had to trust the cook that it it will be served just how I like it and yes it did. It was still juicy and lightly pink in the middle. Not raw. The veggies and the patty tasted fresh. The bun was alright. The sunny side up egg almost perfect. The bacon could be crispier. Maybe a sprinkle of salt and white pepper would have bring out more flavor but I really can't complain. I also like to mention that the presentation of the burger was done with finesse. Especially if you consider I ordered with no sides. Kudos to the chef. SERVICE I rarely have been to a restaurant with that level of friendliness. Everyone is just very nice. I dig it. ATMOSPHERE Young and fresh just like their burgers. Well the burgers are a bit boring when compared to the interior of the restaurant. The restaurant is even split into two rooms with different designs. Very cool. RATING I have been here three times before. This time I wanted to take pictures and do a review. I never expected them to be so consistent. Especially when it comes to the service and quality. Even though the burger could be more exciting I rather want quality than a bad executed exotic burger just for the sake of being special.

I've been going to this place forever. It's one of the places where my friends and I used to hang…read moreout quite a lot. Back in the days when it was still called 'Lucky Strike Original Diner'. We met to have breakfast, skip class or for late night snacks and burgers. Times have changed -- the portions became smaller and more pricey unfortunately. However, I still love to go to this place. Nowadays what you get is a medium sized burger, accompanied by a couple of fries (criss-cuts if you wish, which are pretty wicked). I usally stick to the Betty Boob Bacon burger and have hardly tired any other items on their board (except their American breakfast which is also small). The juicy BBB however is tasty, especially with extra bacon (a mandatory upgrade IMHO). So I can't judge most of the other food options on their board, but they got plenty. I recommend ordering an extra bowl of fries or some sort of starter as the menu won't be anywhere near American size meals. Also the shakes are delicious. Make sure to try those. My favorites are the Peanut Butter Shake and the mighty Snickers Shake which is not on the menue, but will be made upon request. They also offer season specific shakes. Cream soda (which I recall as Coke Float) is also a classic which goes well with a starter. The interior (and exterior) is reminiscent of an American Diner in the 50s and 60s. The atmosphere is unique. They even got a 'Wait to be seated sign" which is used when the place is packed. Nice! Years ago it used to be surrounded by grassland which was pretty cool. Staff is overall friendly and very helpful when it's decision making time. On my birthday I even got a tasty hot brownie with cream on the house, so that's what I call great customer service. This place is often packed with people and at times it can be busy, so remember to either make a reservation or bring some time. Before I forget: They have a Wednesday evening burger special. Buy one, get one free. But take my advice: You won't even get a seat without a reservation on Wednesday nights. In a nutshell: + OK food + Good milkshakes + Nice atmosphere + Ok staff - Small dishes - Small, bland breakfast - Pricey - Hard to get to with public transport - Could have more original food items from the US (like American MTN DEW on tab, fluffy pancakes, etc.) ===UPDATE Dec 2013=== We had breakfast at this place again after years of not having breakfast there. To cut right to the chase: It was highly disappointing. Yes, the waitress was nice and friendly and I always feel obliged to still tip decently when at least the service was acceptable... But the food was not up for it. I remember the portions to be way bigger. Instead after finishing that little bit of omelet that was tossed on a much too big plate I considered ordering a second menu item, which I didn't do in the end because the food was just too bad. The eggs were very greasy, and there was not much bacon on my bacon omelet. It came with some toast and hash browns which weren't well done but instead still had an aftertaste of raw potato. The price for the quality of the food and overall size was off the chart - not recommended for breakfast anymore.
