    We were there in the restaurant on Friday January 24th, 2020. How to do it this way you reserve. Where we arrived and said we had reserved, we were then told to choose any table. Then we sat there and waited for 15 minutes until a waiter came to take our drinks order. And then charging €2.30 for a 0.25l glass bottle of Sion Kölsch in a suburb is outrageous. I'd rather go to the city center and get freshly tapped beer and pay less. The menu is small and clear. And as with beer, the food here is also too expensive. We then ordered a cheeseburger. However, we didn't know that we had to say that we would like it with taste. So our conclusion is that it is an absolutely overpriced restaurant. Unfortunately I can't recommend it.

    I can't recommend it. The shop only had 8 guests on a Saturday evening and it still took 45 minutes for the food to arrive, then the order was not complete and was wrong. The missing fries arrived 15 minutes later. When ordering dessert, some things could no longer be ordered or were changed because ingredients were missing. To top it off, the vanilla sauce with the bownies was sour. After speaking to the waitress, she said the sauce was ok and the chef tried it. By the way, you can also get homemade dips and sauces from €1. The mayonnaise I ordered was probably from the bottle. You can't complain about the cocktails, they were delicious. All in all, we spent €140 there for four people, and we really expected more from that.

    Unfortunately very disappointing. The service was quite friendly at first but the whole experience left a lot to be desired. The food was partly okay, partly completely different than what was ordered. Many components of the dishes were no longer available, which was only partially announced in advance. It was clearly overcharged (after we recalculated later, it was almost €10 overcharged). Unfortunately, card payment didn't work. Conclusion: Good enough for a reasonably nice Instagram photo, not recommended if you want to eat well and only want to pay for what you consume.

    We visited this restaurant twice, once with a group of 10 people, once as a family. Worth mentioning: The restaurant was neither nearly full during our visits (Friday or Saturday evenings), nor at any other time. We basically all live “around the corner” and walk or drive past here every day, no matter what time, there’s never much going on. And after my 2 visits I can understand why that is. I'm not accusing any "5-star reviewer" of anything (everyone feels differently), but I really can't understand these two-line super reviews. It always reads somehow strange when it just says "everyone is super friendly, great food, great atmosphere, you can take great pictures (huh?)" etc. And if so many people want to come back again and again, why is it always so empty? So: 1st visit with a larger group in February. We had reserved a certain "corner", but it was occupied. We were then allowed to push some tables together (ourselves). Important note at the beginning from the friendly staff (one of the less positive points): Unfortunately, for logistical reasons, not all of the food would come at the same time (e.g. there was only one deep fryer available). Of course, you go out as a group because you want to eat one after the other or watch the others eat ;-) Well, the waiting time has been discussed several times in other reviews - it's true. It takes forever. The furnishings - a matter of taste, the seating is fine, the decoration (something like cherry tree blossoms in a larger arrangement) doesn't necessarily fit into a diner for me, but my God, everyone is different. The menu is manageable, the food - not particularly large portions at a (in my opinion) price that is far too expensive, and the drinks too. The quality isn't really bad, but to be honest, it tastes just as good at Hans im Glück or Burgerista and is a few euros cheaper. And the highlight is that they charge 1 euro for mayo or ketchup (because it's homemade), honestly, it's not even remotely worth it (and in other restaurants there are enough sauces "for ümme" on the tables and they taste good too)! I gave constructive and friendly criticism when paying, the waitress wrote down a word or two and probably remembered the rest. The others in the group also had some suggestions, but you didn't get the impression that anyone was really interested. There was also a coffee or schnapps "on the house", as can be quite common when you a) have waited so long for the food, b) each of us got our food after a delay to others and c) communicated nice criticism not. Once is not once, so we and the family dared to try again. Again nothing going on, this time we chose a spot in the next room (a room with no line of sight to the counter area). A mistake, as it turned out, because the waitress somehow didn't pay any particular attention to this area of ​​the restaurant after the food was served and rather sporadically asked for other (drink) requests. But what's really the highlight is that the burgers are advertised to be of the highest quality by the meat sommelier. Probably a reason why the prices are so high at Visions (even though other places don't deliver bad quality either). But seriously, the vegetarian patties cost another 3.50 euros more. Apparently because they are handmade with fresh vegetables (are you serious?). Now the real kicker: My son orders one of these, then he says "sorry, we're out of stock (at 7 p.m. Friday evening), can it also be a goat cheese patty?" What can I say, this part is charged the same way with an additional charge of 3.50 euros. Quite honestly - a disgrace. Here, too, there was no response when paying, just stuttering about why it was so expensive. For us as Longerich residents and for many of our neighbors here, this restaurant is definitely not recommended.

    (Translated by Google) An American style restaurant which gives a modern and pleasant impression. The staff are very friendly and courteous. Unfortunately I couldn't say the same about the food, this was mediocre at best. I would have expected more for the price. (Original) Ein im amerikanischen Style eingerichtetes Restaurant welches einen modernen und angenehmen Eindruck vermittelt. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Leider konnte ich das gleiche nicht über das Essen sagen, dies war im besten Fall mittelmäßig. Für den Preis hätte ich doch mehr erwartet.

    If possible I would give 6*! On the recommendation of a friend, we and 6 people made the 1-hour journey and wanted to see for ourselves the quality, taste and appearance. The Homemade Lemonades were incredibly tasty and the food (we had all the burgers except the “Charlie Sheen”) were also fantastic. When we finished the burgers, we all wanted to turn back time and take another bite for the first time. You could really taste the individual ingredients and the quality of the meat & it was outstanding! Since the time travel didn't work out, we dug into the dessert in the so-called “Candy Shop” and the pancakes & they tasted like they looked: fantastically delicious! The restaurant has already been recommended to many friends and we definitely won't be there for the last time.

    Ich kann mich den positiven Meinungen nur anschließen ! Für meine Freunde und mich - wir zählen uns selbst jetzt mal zur jüngeren Generation- definitiv eine Bereicherung hier im Kölner Norden. Wir sind begeistert vom tollen Ambiente, dem freundlichen Personal und natürlich auch vom leckeren Essen. Wir waren jetzt bestimmt schon vier bis fünf mal dort. Mit Ausnahme der lästigen Corona Zeit gut besucht und dadurch tolle Stimmung im Laden. Man kann sich super mit dem Personal unterhalten, die Preise sind fair. Definitiv eine Empfehlung wert, wenn man gut essen, trinken und einen schönen Abend auswärts verbringen möchte. (Translated by Google) I can only agree with the positive opinions! For my friends and me - we count ourselves among the younger generation - definitely an asset here in the north of Cologne. We are enthusiastic about the great atmosphere, the friendly staff and of course the delicious food. We have definitely been there four to five times. With the exception of the annoying Corona time, well attended and therefore great atmosphere in the shop. You can have a great chat with the staff, the prices are fair. Definitely worth a recommendation if you want to eat, drink and spend a nice evening out.

    Were there today. The food took about 45 minutes to arrive, unfortunately the fries were swapped with sweet potato fries. Forgot the fries with the ribs, when the ribs were eaten the fries we ordered finally arrived. Cole slaw salad tasted 100 times better last time in November and today it tastes like nothing. Unfortunately there was no more cheesecake, so I got brownies instead, which were really tasty, but I didn't find the vanilla sauce with it tasty. Cocktails were very tasty. The fact that card payment doesn't work was only said at the end, why not right at the beginning? :/
