The SponBoB and Chuck Norris are sweet and spicy. Both a great combination.
Jonathan G.

Okay, so the wings here are good. The sauces are awesome and unique. For what you pay for, you get a lot for your money and that's about it for the positive. Unfortunately this place is known for its poor/bad service and I didn't want to believe the reviews but everyone is right. This place should be packed just about every other night of the week but because it's understaffed and the people that do staff it don't have high standards in customer service is lacking. In my experience I went on a Wednesday night with a friend. After reading some reviews online and finding their Facebook page I called to make a reservation and no answer. I was able to make one through Facebook which was interesting to me. How can you answer Facebook but not the phone? When we arrived we noticed that there were several empty tables with completed meals still on them. So no one was bussing the tables. We stood by the doorway waiting for someone to greet us but nobody came. We made our way to bar to find our waiter/bartender talking with the chef/waiter/manager (I think) and some guests. I wasn't getting good vibes from the sloppiness of the main dining room and the lack of attention to new customers. Once the bartender asked me if I was the reservation I said yes and then the Chef told us to find a seat wherever we liked, the only problem is that he hadn't cleared the tables yet. Then he informed us that there was a bottom floor also. We checked it out and we decided to sit in the main dining room. Once he cleaned off a table he explained the origins of the place and how many they have in the area. After that I asked about the specials and he informed me that Wednesday nights they offer 5 extra free wings for every 10 that you buy. That wasn't stated in their advertisements but I didn't mind since I was going to buy 10 anyway. After looking at the menu and the long list of sauces, he offered some samples. We tried the "Spong Bob" and the "Chuck Norris," both were sweet and spicy and had plenty of flavor. So once we were ready to order the Chef went away and the bartender came to take our order. This is where the service for the night got bad and went crashing down. The Bartender asked us what we wanted I informed him that I wanted to 10 wings and that I wanted to split the sauces. He then said that you can't do that when the chef stated that you can. The bartender slightly fought with me about it then gave in and said he would do it, I then reminded him about the extra 5 wings because I saw him write me down for just 10 wings split by 5. The bartender apprentantly didn't know about the special or didn't want to give it to me because he put up a fight about that too, but I stood my ground and he rewrote his math on the paper. My friend made his order the same way and we were pretty much good to go, but then I had a side of ranch. The food came out in a decent amount of time and to my surprise the wings came with fries and side of some cream cheese. I didn't care for it but it was part of the plater. So for 9 euro you get about 15 wings with fries, not a bad deal at all even if you have to pay an extra euro for Ranch or Blue Cheese. But the bartender didn't bring my ranch. To make a long story short I asked the bartender twice within 35 minutes for my Ranch and he never gave it to me. The chef was walking in and out of the restaurant then decided to ask us how we were doing, i was so frustrated about the stupid Ranch all I could say is "I'm still waiting on some Ranch Man!" The chef immediately said that he would get it and within 30 seconds i had my ranch but it was basically too late because I was already full. LOL. So to finish this long review, the poor service and lack of knowledge from the bartender/waiter along with the dirty tables and crazy inappropriate youtube videos playing on the TV's make this place a two star. What I did notice is that there were lots of people picking up orders to go. Plenty of reviews have stated that their delivery can take up to two hours and arrive soggy. So the best advice I can give is do what the locals do, order takeout from online or by phone and pick up your wings in person. You'll be happy you did and you'll have plenty of ranch at home. :)

SpongeBob. Way to much sauce and soggy.
Paul J.

The combination of bad service and soggy wings put this at three stars. It's run by some expats and is welcoming looking when you arrive. It's full of English speaking people. Wednesday is buy 10 get 5 free regular wings. I got the SpongeBob. It was sweet and hot. The have only a few sauces that they then mix together to make other combinations. We also tried atomic which is a ghost pepper sauce but covered with red pepper flakes. Eh on both. They should cut back to 8 flavors​ instead of 30. The fries are covered in breading or something but if they are not super hot they are just eh.

To be fair, this is more like a 2.5 rating. We showed up on a weekday. It was the day that they have all-you-can-eat hot dogs. However, we came for the wings. As we sat down, the waiter warned us that it would be an HOUR for food. I was shocked, as there weren't many other people in the restaurant, but we were tired and hungry and decided to wait. They have a mini connect-4 game on each table, which helps some with the wait. We also ordered fried pickles. The pickles were cut so thin that the breading completely overpowered the pickle taste, and the breading was very bland. It just tasted like flour. When the wings finally came out, we were pleasantly surprised. They were not all cut the same, but the taste of the sauce was good and the wings were all a good size. The shredded carrots were completely unnecessary and the fries looked much better than they tasted. If they want to serve "American style" food, then I would recommend 'sticking' to the carrot sticks and sticking the fries back into the fryer once more. We weren't offered napkins, and had to go on a scavenger hunt to find them. Even ordering a beer was a 15-minute process. I don't know if we will return. To be perfectly honest, the wings at Chili's are better (and about the same price).

Restaurant Anna - Their Margarita pizza

This is an A-OK spot for dinner. Very nice atmosphere, clean, friendly staff, good quality food…read more Their specialty is a hamburger which is huge. The side salad is fresh and a very good size; we shared it. The Jagarschnitzel is a huge portion. The fries soft inside, crisp outside. I read another review about the pizza and was excited to try it. Having lived in Italy, I cannot agree with that other reviewer. Don't get me wrong - the pizza is good. Just not the same as those found in Italy. Crispy crust. Plenty of cheese. Just different. There is parking for a few cars by the entrance. The hostess/waitress will come out and greet you. Food is made when ordered so not out in a hurry. Full bar, beers on tap or bottles, soft drinks, coffee & tea and Eiscoffee which seems to be a big thing in the area at the moment. This spot is a safe bet.

Formerly the "Gruenerwoog", Anna's has the best, most authentic Italian pizza in the…read moreRamstein-Miesenbach area. Superior ingredients and Anna's penchant for implementing quality cooking methods coupled with superior ingredients elevate the pizza here to an art form. I came here many times during my assignment. She is a most personable host and over the years we truly came to consider "Anna's" our second home. The restaurant gets packed on weekends and evenings so come early to ensure a seat. Top picks are the pizza Margherita, and the "ai funghi" (mushroom pizza). The menu is vast and everything is superb. A must-stop for dining if you're in the Ramstein area. Mahalo nui loa for reading my review. Vielen Dank für das Lesen meiner Rezension.

Why go to Germany just to go to McDonalds? Well, because it was the most familiar restaurant since…read moreit was my first time in Germany. I was surprised how convenient things were. There are kiosks with 7 other languages to make ordering convenient. I was also surprised that there were regional menu items and specials that the United States didn't have. Along with the always available McRib, there was a "Taste of the World" event going out that featured menu items from around the world, including Japan, China, Brazil and Australia. Personally, my favorite was Japan. Loved the shake fries. There was another event where if you purchased a meal, it came with a selection of coke glasses. This used to happen in the US but it's not a thing anymore. In terms of décor, it was a really clean McDonalds and had a descent amount of seats and parking. There was a language barrier, but the use of the kiosk pretty much solved it. Overall, this is a way better experience than the US version.

Wow, so disappointed in this Mickey D's. We came here after we ate out just because we were still…read morehungry. I saw the ratings but we figured we'd give this place a chance. It was late at night and the drive through line was long. We thought maybe it would be worth the wait with all the Americans we saw in line. We ordered 2 double cheeseburgers, fries, and an ice cream cone. The ice cream cone was the SMALLEST cone of ever seen made in any McDonald's, PERIOD! Although since I was driving I couldn't take a picture. We had to wait for our order even after we paid and waited, drove up to the second window and waited, then waited again. When we drove off, my husband looked through the bag and found that our order was not correct. He ate his anyway just because he was hungry. He couldn't even finish it because it was so disgusting. Turns out the quality and mixup was enough to make him full. When we got home I immediately sorted through the bag and saw the monstrosity he a talking about. The burger looked terrible, I didn't even know what it was. Also, the fries were ICE cold. Right away K snapped pictures and threw away the food. I don't understand how they speak english and don't understand what we're saying. If I could rate this place at no stars, I would. Don't come here!!! If you do, dine in so you can check your food. The servers here can't be trusted, especially when you're really hungry!

Easy place to grab a bite on base, but there are better options such as Macaroni Grill or…read moreChili's...even the food court. The food tastes like it came from a microwave. My friends and I ordered a variety of dishes from the wings (bone in and boneless - microwave - more breading than chicken), salads (overdressed, bad lettuce), burger (nothing to write home about). Positives are that it's a great place to get picked up...I mean if you're into that and they have trivia nights/game nights, etc. Negatives...listed above and really think you are cheating during trivia...even when you are just looking at pictures of cats on your phone. #awkward

J.R. Rocker's... where do we begin?…read more I could talk about their service. I really could. I could start with their slow, sub-par service that at its best is painfully average. I could talk about their generally overpriced food, and I could even bring up a few arguments about their menu. Or, instead I'll let their review average speak for itself. Few people I know like this place outside of it being a campy place to get wings, when you've managed to convince yourself that the last time you went there months ago it "wasn't that bad". "Wasn't that bad", what a great reason to come to a restaurant. One of the few American-style places on Ramstein Air Base, I'd be hard pressed to find any American who finds nostalgia or excitement in this place. I'd feel embarrassed taking anyone outside the realm of American sports bars here. J.R. Rocker's embarrasses me. The seemingly irrelevant NFL jerseys tacked on the wall tell the story of a sports bar attitude, bought and hastily tacked on the wall for a profit, with little regard for making this establishment special for any of its patrons. A true failure, that I hope to see die and see rebirth as something useful. Perhaps a White Castle.

Of all places to try a Wahlburgers burger, I try it in Germany. However, to clarify, I grabbed it…read moreto go, not for dining in. So, based on the burger alone, it was ok. Was it a huge, beautiful specimen of greasy bliss? No! I'm sorry, it was ok, but fantastic? No. I'm pretty sure people primarily go there for the novelty aspect of it. Because I'd take a 5-Guys, or an In-n-Out in any day over this burger. Even a Shake Shack burger was better, in my humble opinion. Would I eat another one? Sure! Would I go out of my way for one? Doubtful. But hey, opinions may vary. Cheers.

Having been to a Wahlburgers before in Alabama, i was excited to try out the one on Ramstein. We…read moreordered two BBQ burgers with sweet potato fries and tator tots. What we received here was pretty disappointing. The burgers were ok at best, had very little flavor in them. They need sauce to be decent. No where near as fat and juicy like the stateside one. The sweet potato fries were also bland. Best thing we had were the tator tots. I will say that the food came out very quick and the staff was nice, but the missing flavor and difference between the US and this Wahlburgers is too much. I personally wouldn't go back here unless they seriously step up their food. A suggestion is that they should also sell fountain drinks like the rest of the food court. Doesnt make sense to buy a small bottle of coke for nearly the same price as another place next to it and get free refills.
