    Came in for a solo dinner while traveling for business. There were no reserved tables and I was…read moreinstructed to sit anywhere I liked. The menu descriptions are in German, but the dish names were all English, I didn't ask if they had an English menu because I didn't need it. I opted for a beer, water, and pick-two BBQ... ribs, wings, and fries all sounded good and that one hits them all. The waitress asked if I wanted mayonnaise which gave me the opportunity to decline and ask for ketchup. I'm not exactly sure which stout I got, but it was smooth. The food came out shortly and was a generous portion and they put the whole bottle of ketchup on the table for my fries! Crispy chicken wings were the whole wing like you'd get in fried chicken but simply fried (no breading, no sauce, no seasoning- crispy skin). Ribs were tender enough, crispy on the outside with some sauce squeezed ontop. The fries are thick cut and were the star of the dish. Overall there's nothing wrong with the food or service and it satisfies the craving for this type of food. But, it's no replacement for barbecue from the bayou in the US.

    I've stopped here in the afternoon a few times with friends to grab a drink. It was pretty slow the…read morefew times we went, but then again most bars are slow in the middle of the day. The list of beers included stouts from New Orleans, which my friend was brave enough to try. Unless you are an experienced beer drinker, I would recommend sticking to the local brews like Herforder Pils because the stout has a very unique and probably acquired taste. The New Orleans decor inside the bar/restaurant is pretty cool too.

    Nice place American style, very spacious and apparently very loved by the locals who have a blast…read morein the summer in the open tables outside, as commented by the person who brought a colleague and I there. You will find all the Americana you want, but I was more focused in finding something in the menu that was not a giant burger. I choose the fish salad and seemed to be the German version of the fish and chips. I love the fried here, especially the rustic style. Maybe they grow them in the huge field outside? For the locals, seems to be pretty popular among the biker community. I would have not known or gone to this area unless was work related, so it was ok for me.

    The setting: Located in a bucolic area, surrounded by farms…read moreand orchards, this place used to be a barn, but has been renovated years ago, to make it look like a road stop - hence its name. The inside: Rustic, quaint and all dark timber. Complete with US memorabilia and old signs, vintage license plates, old school fluorescent beer signs and advertising and an old gas pump. The food: Used to be better. Back in the days when this was one of the only burger places in town. Or, quite possibly I've just outgrown the frozen standard patty and am expecting a little bit more for a burger that sets you back between €8-12. To give you an example: They serve these standard sesame buns that you can get in bulk at discount retailers. My dad ordered their Sea Burger (or whatever it was called) and it was fish in a batter, a sad tomato, some lettuce and no sauce or extra seasoning. Yeah. Call that a dry burger - it was completely lacking any originality or love. I had their signature Road Stop Burger and they used to be more generous with the baked beans if I remember correctly. The patty must have shrunk over the years and it seemed lost in an oversized bun - the last remnant and witness of a better, more plentiful past. In general this burger gave the impression that it's lacking something - probably more generous toppings and some fresh, ground beef. And if that's too much to ask for - at least fix the toppings. So ... nothing that knocks your socks off. Don't get me wrong - I still kinda like this place. If only for their large Biergarten (which can be packed during sunny periods) and their unique atmosphere inside. So back to the burgers - I can't get rid of the impression that they've streamlined and downsized their food (in size and quality) to increase profitability and maximize profits - resulting in decreased quality. This is always a bad sign and prelude to 'I won't frequent this place anymore'. Same with the starter platter - onion rings, jalapeno poppers, chicken nuggets, tortilla chips - none of it seems home made. It's all frozen food, pretty bland, fried and served on a platter with a generic dip. Oh, that's so 90s. If you're looking for a more unique starter, try the pretty decent tortilla chicken BBQ bowl. The service: Is usually swift and friendly, however nothing that would set this place apart. The verdict / TL;DR: You can still enjoy a nice bottle of beer (they serve Miller - I guess it's what they consider American beer), or Snapple. All in a relaxed atmosphere and unique setting. If you're a biker, you'll meet lots of like minded people. Mind the evening rush though, this place gets packed. Food wise: I cannot recommend the burgers anymore, at least not if you're looking for quality food at a fair price. In that case: Don't put up with a nothingburger and head to one of the fine burger locations in nearby Düsseldorf.
