What is better than all you can eat Ribs? Maybe being review 69 here Giggidy. I know I am immature…read morebut if there are any Family Guy fans out there I know I made you chuckle a little. The Ribs are incredible! They literally fall off the bone. The first plate is a huge stack of ribs with good creamy Cole slaw and tasty potato wedges. The first plate is quite filling itself but when it's all you can eat, you need to unbutton your pants and let your belly fill up. The ribs bbq sauce isn't sweet but more on the savory side which I thought was tasty. If they had a variety of sauce that would be even better. As long as you keep asking they keep bringing them out. Sometimes you may have to wait a little for the ribs but that's only because they are busy. And after about 4 stacks of ribs there is no better way to wash it down than with some good quality German beer.

This is not the American Restaurant you are looking for! If you're a fan of readymade, frozen food,…read moreyou're in the right place. Not only are the starters, such as the onion rings, chicken nuggets and filled chillies pre made mass produce but they also all get tossed into the same deep frier causing the onion rings to taste like chicken, the fries/chips to taste like onion and the mozzarella sticks to taste like chicken. Even the nachos are your every day bagged produce, including the horrible pepper powder. Not even the simply made potato wedges are fresh! The burgers are a sad affair, again with cheap sauces from the supermarket, even the sear marks on the chicken breast burger are fake and the patties are so dry and tasteless you might as well start eating the table you're sitting at. And don't bother trying to tell the waiter how you'd like your steak. The chef only makes one version: extremely well done although the well done here is a bit of an oxymoron as he prepares the steak to the point that they're so dry you could sell them as leather and make a couch out of them. The salads are ok albeit expensive and yet again the dressings are off the shelf low end stuff. Sad! The American cole slaw is actually german mayonnaise extravaganza with some strips of coal, excuse me, cole. Now there are some positive things, the service is fast and friendly, the place is clean and the interior isn't too kitschy. The chairs and tables are comfortable and the benches in the back are great but that doesn't save the sadness emanating out of the kitchen onto your plate. Mind you, this restaurant's menu has nothing to do with the American kitchen. It's an amalgamation of average German fast food that's a bit Americanized by the Ketchup bottle on (most) tables. Virginia style? Nothing to be found here. Cheesecake Factory and Claim Jumpers would give this place a one punch knockout! So, if you're looking for American food, this is not the place to go, if you're looking for decent food, this is not the place to go, if you're looking for a quick bite and have no expectations of taste, you're in the right spot! And yes, there are an overwhelming number of good reviews of this place but I fear that has to be attributed to the fact that this is the only American restaurant (I seriously wonder if the chef has ever tasted any real American food) in a 10 mile radius.

As an American, I wondered how this restaurant would be compared to something at home. It's interesting how the rest of the world looks to the rest of the world. Walking in, I had to laugh a bit to think that this is how others think of us, but it all fairness, nothing seemed out of place. The menu represented standard food choices we have here. I had one of the hamburgers with fries. Other than we don't normally put beans and corn on a bacon cheese burger, it was ok. Now, I would have liked my fries a bit thinner and a bit more chrispier, as well as my burger seasoned a bit more... but for something 4,000 miles from home, it was good. I also enjoyed my stay in the hotel. Even with the restaurant busy, I did not hear any noise coming from downstairs. When I come back for my next visit, I plan to stay at the hotel, and eat at the restaurant again.

This is an American bar in the sense that if you came to America as a tourist, this is the kind of…read moreterrible place a jerky local would send a foreign tourist as a joke to get them out of their hair. In America, or Chicago at least, no one who's of legal drinking age and has any sort of respect for themselves goes to places like this. Bars like this are reserved for people who are freshly 21 and don't know any better, freshly divorced and looking to slum it, or for tourists who got got tricked into coming here. In this case, we were the Americans-in-Germany version of the latter. Our guide took us here thinking we'd be impressed with this 'American' bar. Obviously, that didn't happen. For any Chicagoans reading this, this bar is located in the Viagra Triangle of Düsseldorf and this place (along with all it's neighbors) would be the 'Mothers'... but at least we know where to send our guide when he visits Chicago next. Payback, for sure. The clientele seemed mostly older, divorcee-aged, though there were a few younger tables. The main level is sticky and standing room only and the crowd goes wild for songs that are perpetually lame to everyone in America besides mid-life crisis suffering suburbanites and people who enjoy piano bars. Songs like 'Who let the dogs out?', anything from Papa Roach and/or Nickelback, new-ish Bon Jovi releases, Lou Bega's 'Mambo #5', and more... but not ironically. A music video mash-up that did not match the songs that were actually being spun played on the overhead flat-screens. I was a particularly big fan of the Aretha Franklin video in black and white, Usher live in concert, and a raunchy Rihanna video. I'm not sure what the 3 had to do with each other, but it was fun to try and guess what the person who did mix them together was thinking. Our guide noted that they mix a mean Redbull vodka, but since the rest of us value our lives and do our best to not mix our uppers and downers, we all just opted for a straight beer. No surprise here with an altbier, but we sucked it up since were heading to Belgium the next day and knew we wouldn't have to drink any more light beers the rest of the trip. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but keep in mind we also came here sober. It's probably a lot better to come here after you've already spent a sizable amount of time imbibing.

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.
