Funny enough, I came to this Irish Pub for the burger. Hear me out before you start judging…read more I made friends with another US expat, and we started comparing notes about US American-style food in Essen. I made the mistake of comparing Tofino and Hans im Glück before he stopped me. His advice was to try Fritzpatrick's before I start trash talking all the Germans and their inability to make a burger. I'll admit when I'm wrong, and I was wrong. Fritzpatrick's food is good. I understand why so many people have recommended coming here, and I regret not going sooner. The food is good; not just good by pub standards, but it's actually good. My only gripe is the same one I have with most German restaurants: they dress the burger bun with ketchup rather than keeping it on the side. I hate and despise ketchup and felt like such a jerk for sending back my bacon cheeseburger. Sorry. The server was really nice about it. Thanks for dealing with this picky American.

This might rather be a long & sentimental review. But the experience at this quaint little…read moreBiergarten was humbling. I got a Schumacher Alt and Weiner alt Schnitzel naturally. The beer was smooth like water to drink, malty and very faintly hoppy. Which is good. The Schnitzel with roasted Kartoffeln and salad on the other hand has left me speachless. I have not had anything like this. It was simply delightful. The potatoes I swear to God have been the best I have ever had anywhere on this planet. Nothing like this in the US, nothing like this in India. No sir. The potatoes were delicately soft at the core but somehow faintly roasted, with like a thin charred skin which had a loads of flavour and with bits of bacon, and pieces of scallions. Oh dear God they were good. I'm going to have dreams. The Schnitzel- it got consumed in a blitz. The portions are huge. But it got consumed in a blitz. Salad - never considered it as a serious item for sides when eating out. And has always been disappointing. But this salad had been devoured. Not sure if it had sauerkraut, cabbage of some sort. Definitely not just pieces of Romain lettuce and ranch. It was a very tasty salad. Now for the most important part: The gratuitous, warm, comforting and welcoming treatment I received from the staff. I recently moved to this city and I do not know German. After entering the restaurant, the elderly gentleman very kindly welcomed & explained, as much possible, the different seating arrangements. Both the waitresses on the way, warmly greeted and welcomed me. This felt good. A waitress then attended my table conversing naturally in Deutsch.She sensed my inability and put me to ease at once saying it's no problems at all, take your time. Genuinely understanding. After that it was a peaceful & satisfying moment in the restaurant. I am really thankful to their service and the food. As everyone has reviewed, they are homely, cozy and comforting This was the first German dinner in Deutschland and it was worth the awkwardness and initial discomfort. I look forward to visiting more places in this city :)

"One tequila! Two tequila! Three tequila! Floor!" -Anonymous…read more Use caution. Killepitsch is delicious and worth the stop, if only to buy a single ice-cold shot. ONE shot. Because this stuff will warm you up and get you a bit liquidated if you're not careful. Place your order at the square window in the front and then sip your shotglass (it's yours to keep!) at the wooden table in front while you watch the tourists (hey, that's me!) walk past. Killepitsch is dark red and perhaps sweeter than Jägermeister, flavored with fruits, berries, herbs and spices. Don't let the looks deceive you. It will definitely get you rolling. Killepitsch is 42% alcohol by volume (84 proof) and delicious. Yes, you can buy a whole bottle if you wish. The one shot of this was enough for me.

The chicken strips were pretty amazing, the BBQ sauce reminded me of sonic drive-in.
