It tasted amazing, It was around 30 euros but I'd say it was worth going there. I'd surely recommend this place.

The quest for the best burger restaurant in Germany continues. My next stop was Hans Im Glück…read more First off the interior and design of the restaurant is really nice but at times the music is too loud and makes it hard to understand what the people you are eating with are saying. The burger selection is a good one with many different choices that will leave any burger lover wishing they could try at least 5 of them. I focused on the special Christmas burgers because I can obviously only get them during Christmas. My choice was the Elsässer. It was more of a sweet and salty burger which I am starting to love more and more. It had Brie cheese, with a berry sauce. This was very good and a 5 star recommendation. The fries were ok but being able to have as much mayo, ketchup, barbecue, or honey mustard is great. My friend had the sweet potato fries and I would say pay the extra euro for these because they are much better. Since coming to Germany I have tried many burgers. Some sweet and some savory. But there are two burgers that have been standouts. One is the Geissbock from Hans Im Glück. This burger has just about everything I love in a burger, sweet with the fig sauce, savory with the bacon and just to crank it up a notch the goat cheese or ziegen kase it's called here. The Wild West Burger is what I think of a typical American Burger. The taste was good with the barbecue sauce and onions but it isn't very special to me. Probably a 4 star burger. Also they had a great deal which was a Burger, Fries, Beer, and Coffee for 13€ which I believe is really good here in Köln. My favorite Burger place in Köln.

Perhaps I caught Hans on a bad night, because he seemed pretty unglücklich to me…read more I've heard great things about the place, and was looking forward to expanding my burger repertoire beyond Fette Kuh. When I arrived to meet our group, I was a bit stunned at how LOUD the place was, but, that's a given at most restaurants these days. The interior was a bit upscale/trendy, IMO, for a real burger joint, but I wasn't there for the ambiance... I was there for the beef. I bucked the typical burger options and - full of hope - went for a breadless burger, the Hoffnungsträger, which was advertised as a "juicy beef patty with argula, parmesan, and parmesan dressing". I split an order of fries with a friend. The plate presentation was good, and my mouth was watering... until I had the first bite of the burger. I hadn't been asked how I would like it cooked, but I hoped for something closer to medium well, so that I would be able to taste the real flavor of the meat. Instead, the patty was overcooked and completely dry. Fortunately, the burger patty was absolutely drenched in both the parmesan dressing and a mysterious orange-colored sauce that wasn't listed in the description, adding a bit of moisture. It was edible, but not enjoyable. I continued to hold out hope for the thick cut fries - which were obviously not homemade, but looked tasty nonetheless. The fries were cooked very well, crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the inside, but were over salted, so we didn't even finish the small order. I applaud HiG for their range of very inventive burger options - from beef to chicken to vegetarian... I just wished the food had tasted better.

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.
