    How does this place have 4 stars? Are the standards that different in Germany? The food (we had cheeseburgers randomly with or without cheese (??) and chicken wings) verges on inedible and the service level is worthy of a North Korean hospital. There is no reason for anything to be this bad in 2019.

    Great place to sit and watch a match. Matches are televised in English. Plenty of big screens. We happen to visit cologne on champions leaguebfinal day and we could not get a place to step inside. They have screens outside the bar as well where people can stand , have their drink and watch the match. Great experience and service.

    (Translated by Google) Sitting in this shop since 5 p.m. Opening is 5pm ... 30 minutes ago we ordered 3 coffees, so far we are still waiting. There are no other guests. Are gone now Since the operation is still pampy and cheekily says that the machine is not yet warm, the shop is open at 5 p.m. and not at 5:30 p.m. You can expect that the employees will be able to prepare their machines on time! (Original) Sitzen seit 17 uhr in diesem laden. Eröffnung ist 17 uhr...vor 30 minuten haben wir 3 kaffee bestellt, bis jetzt warten wir noch. Es sind keine weiteren Gäste da. Sind jetzt gegangen. Da wird die bedienung noch pampig und sagt frech das die maschine noch nicht warm wären, offen hat der laden um 17 uhr und nicht um 17:30 Uhr. Man kann ja wohl erwarten das die Mitarbeiter es schaffen pünktlich ihre Maschinen vor zu bereiten!

    (Translated by Google) Nice condition, but the food is rather below average to lousy: - /. It's a shame that the quality has deteriorated. (Original) Nette Bedingung, aber das Essen ist eher unterdurchschnittlich bis mies :-/. Schade, das die Qualität so nachgelassen hat.

    The staff is alright, they're kind and could understand English. However where it goes wrong is with the food, the ribs have no flavour what so ever needing to pour the rather small portion of BBQ saus over them. The inside was either luke warm or cold, not properly or evenly heated. The wedges barely have any taste and come served with cream fresh. Ordering soda is a no-no as well, once it was served on my table it was already flat. The music played in the bar is obnoxiously loud making any conversation impossible if you're not shouting on the top of your loungs. Lastly, the price you see on the menu is not the price you pay, on the menu the ribs on the menu go for 15,90 whilest on the bill they where 20,10.

    I stopped in for a burger and a beer while in town from the US on business. It was a fairly slow evening, but the food came out quickly and was very tasty. Also, you can't go wrong with Kolsch! I will come back again the next time I'm visiting the area. Prost!

  • 2/5 Nancy K. 8 months ago on Google • 126 reviews
    The food I overpriced and bad. There was a long hair in the coleslaw, tge chips were worse than frozen ones bought in the supermarket, the meat in the burger fell out in little bits constantly, didn't look like meat and didn't taste good at all. They did take the food away and bring a new meal once the hair was found, and they tried to be helpful and professional about it all. One burger, with chips and coleslaw, with one glass of mineral water and one beer cost a few cents under €28! The worst meal and far too expensive for such quality. Irs a convenient location if its raining though.

    Nice little sports bar. Decent food. Loads of TVs and seem to show most football games (inc Premier League)

  • 5/5 G M. 7 months ago on Google • 49 reviews
    Funny American themed restaurant. Most things are named after baseball teams. The super bowl nachos were not bad. If you're American like I am, it is a funny look at how other countries view our culture.

  • 4/5 Renée 7 months ago on Google • 46 reviews
    Cool little American theme bar. The food looked good, didn’t get any though since we just ate before hand. Came for drinks. Drinks were good. Service was great and atmosphere was good.

  • 1/5 Ecelumon 8 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Got ignored at the table for 20 minutes, took a long time pick up empty cups. Service was just terribly. Order arrove way too late in proportion of the places size. Way too loud and way to crumped aswell.

  • 4/5 Stefan T. 11 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Nice and convenient spot right across the tram station. Had a good selection of beers and the food was good at reasonable prices. Was a little quiet for my taste. It was a Monday thou, so will be back on another day.

    (Translated by Google) Went there yesterday to watch American football. Unfortunately, the streaming was in poor quality and there was only the sound of the game in a small corner of the store: a poor record for an American sports bar, if you can't even show sports in the right quality. In addition, there were no paper towels or soap on the toilet: very unsanitary if you consider that this toilet is also used by the staff. The operation has also been shown very rarely. (Original) Waren gestern da um American Football zu gucken. Leider wurde in schlechter Qualität gestreamt und es gab nur in einer kleinen Ecke des Ladens den Ton zum Spiel: Ein Armutszeugnis für eine American Sportsbar, wenn man nicht einmal in entsprechender Qualität Sport zeigen kann. Außerdem gab es auf der Toilette weder Papiertücher noch Seife: sehr unhygienisch wenn man überlegt, dass diese Toilette auch vom Personal genutzt wird. Die Bedienung hat sich auch nur sehr selten gezeigt.

    (Translated by Google) Cool the place only when a bacon is infinitely full and you wait a long time for the drinks (no attack on the waitress) (Original) Cool der Ort nur wenn ein specktakel ist unendlich voll und man wartet sehr lange auf die Getränke, (kein Angriff auf die Kellnerin)

  • 2/5 Alien 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Friendly staff, but the food was a cheek for this price. The burger was dripping with fat, covered with the cheapest finished products and the fries were completely dry. (Original) Freundliches Personal, das Essen war aber eine Frechheit für diesen Preis. Der Burger triefte vor Fett, belegt mit den billigsten Fertigprodukten und die Pommes waren komplett trocken.

  • 5/5 Stefan B. 4 years ago on Google
    Oh, the ambiance, it is exactly what you want to have for a burger bar: Good burger, some beer, chill environment and friendly staff. The french fries and wedges are amazing, we had to go with some encore-fries.

  • 5/5 Max H. 4 years ago on Google
    We had a really great diner. The food was excellent. And the service was awesome. Even though it was really busy in Köln because of a big convention, our waitress was really nice and worked notably really hard to make us enjoy our experience. Definitely coming back when we're in the neighborhood!

    Very taste food. Fast service, good experience.

  • 1/5 Mathias M. 6 years ago on Google
    Location is fine, staff is nice. But my Cheeseburger was a disaster, one small slice of tomato, a very tiny bit of a gurk. The bread was okay (good quality), but not toasted on both sides, patty was dry and overgrilled, no sauce on the whole burger. For the french fries there was no sauce served. Very dry food.

  • 5/5 Spark 5 years ago on Google
    It's good for enjoy show the sports. There are many screen(TV). So you can watch what you want. I recommand if you want to watch football game with your friends. Food is also good not in the best but reasonable price and taste. Especiallly burger!

  • 3/5 Sabrina M. 1 year ago on Google • 5 reviews
    The bar is amazing! If you want to see a game, this is definitely a great place! The food is also great and the prices are affordable. The only thing that was TERRIBLE was the service. The service was simply the worst I've ever received in my entire life, not from all the attendants, but from a specific attendant, a man. He was super rude and treated us badly.

  • 1/5 jollykh 6 years ago on Google
    They call it "American" pub but its far from it. I asked bartender to put on NFL game and she said she couldn't. She didn't even try and just said "no". Ok, I get it. It might not be easy to get the game but at least put in an effort. Besides that, the food was so gross. The "wings" smelled like deep fried fish and were repulsive. If this is your only choice for a sports bar, then Cologne is sad place to live.

    Waitress tonight was delightful, very friendly. Give her a raise 😉

    Contrary to the other branch, the staff here is very friendly. I do hope Deutz staff give the others multiple sessions on how to behave like human beings.

    (Translated by Google) It's great as a sports bar (big screens everywhere). However, the food is pretty average (but relatively expensive). (Original) Als Sportbar ist es großartig (große Bildschirme überall). Das Essen ist jedoch ziemlich durchschnittlich (aber relativ teuer).

    (Translated by Google) A really nice and courteous service with an open ear and trained eye. The food is solid, you can't go wrong. If you like burgers, fries and the rest of the fast food palette, you won't be disappointed here. The taste is similar to that of some finished products, but unfortunately our palate has since succumbed to it. This is how fries, nachos, etc. taste like from the packaging of a supermarket, but that doesn't mean "bad". A manageable kids menu (card in the form of a football to color yourself) with 5.90 € is also fair. Seating also available outside ... All in all solid and the visitor will not be disappointed. (Original) Eine wirklich nette und zuvorkommende Bedienung mit offenem Ohr und geschultem Auge. Das Essen ist solide, da macht man nichts falsch. Wer Burger, Pommes und die restliche Fast Food Palette mag, wird hier nicht enttäuscht werden. Der Geschmack ähnelt dem einiger Fertigprodukte, aber leider ist unser Gaumen dem mittlerweile erlegen. So schmecken Pommes, Nachos etc. wie aus der Verpackung eines Supermarktes, aber dass bedeutet eben nicht "schlecht". Eine überschaubares Kids Menü (Karte in Form eines Footballs zum selber Ausmalen) mit 5,90€ ist ebenfalls fair. Sitzmöglichkeiten auch Draußen vorhanden... Alles in Allem solide und der Besucher wird nicht enttäuscht.

    (Translated by Google) Nice little American sports bar. Spent there spontaneously on a weekend and got a place. Drinks and food are good value for money. The burger was delicious, the side dishes were good too. The staff is very friendly. Since it is a sports bar, you should expect that the volume is not low. The place is small, however, and therefore the volume is also bearable. I am very happy to go there again. (Original) Nette kleine amerikanische Sportsbar. Waren dort spontan am einem Wochenende und haben einen Platz bekommen. Getränke und Essen haben ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Der Burger war sehr lecker, auch die Beilagen waren gut. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Da es eine Sportsbar ist, sollte man damit rechnen, dass die Lautstärke nicht leise ist. Das Lokal ist aber klein und daher ist die Lautstärke auch gut auszuhalten. Sehr gerne gehe ich dort nochmal hin.

    (Translated by Google) This is a small, relaxed sports bar. Cozy atmosphere and a good price-performance ratio. When we got there it unfortunately took a little too long for our order to be accepted. I partially remove a star here. The service staff apologized to us that it was taking so long. The order was processed quickly and brought to our table. Order and cleanliness was satisfactory. All of the staff present were also friendly and quick on the road. In my personal opinion, the volume could be a little quieter. Still happy to recommend. (Original) Das ist eine kleine entspannte Sportsbar. Gemütliches Ambiente und ein gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Als wir dort angekommen sind hat es leider ein bisschen zu lange gedauert bis das unsere Bestellung aufgenommen wurde. Teil ziehe ich hier einen Stern ab. Die Servicekraft hatte sich aber bei uns dafür entschuldigt, dass es solange gedauert hat. Die Bestellung wurde zügig bearbeitet und uns an den Tisch gebracht. Ordnung und Sauberkeit war zufriedenstellend. Alle anwesenden Mitarbeiter waren ebenfalls freundlich und schnell unterwegs. Nach meinem persönlichen Empfinden könnte es von der Lautstärke etwas leiser sein. Trotzdem gerne zu empfehlen.
