Friendly staff with patience for non German speakers and cozy warm atmosphere. Very busy on a Monday night but didn’t mind waiting for table ( take out service is also available) And the food delicious…I had the Jagerschnitzel which is pork schnitzel with mushroom gravy it was very good! My server was the best! I love the way the beers 🍺 keep coming. They will be automatically replaced until you place a coaster on the top of your glass to indicate you’re done. A pen mark is placed on the coaster to indicate how many beers you have had - so cool and efficient. So many other little things were done well with service and food-even the ketchup tasted great. Great job all around 😊

Good price and good place to try typical German food. They have an English menu which is helpful if you are a tourist.

Weird restaurant. The food was normal German food. Not amazing, but we weren't expecting it to be amazing, we just wanted to have a quick lunch. However, the staff was so weird. They made you feel like they just have more work because of you. Also, there was this Lithuanian guy who came to the counter to ask if he can make an order and the waiter got angry at him for asking to order. Not that they were super busy or sth. In general, poor service. At the end they asked us for a tip. 🤣

Without question this was the greatest pork chop I’ve ever eaten. Well worth the preparation time. The service was very friendly and attentive. Also ask for the apple dumpling pancake for dessert- we didn’t see it on the menu but we saw someone else order it and it was delicious.

Super welcoming and friendly staff and locals at this pub! Food and Kölsch are also amazing, you have to try them. Below are Rhineland Sauerbraten and Himmel und Äad. They're the best you can get around here. I'll visit again next time I visit Köln!

Proper pub north of the Hbf and near my hotel. Warm, friendly, lots of natural light. Looks upscale from the outside but a classic Kölsch pub inside. Happens to be the first day of Karneval so it’s rocking on an early Saturday afternoon. Great food menu with lots of quality regional and traditional German options. Went for the jägerschnitzel that had a mushroom cream sauce and some deliciously fresh thick cut fries. Bartenders were helpful and friendly and spoke great English. Truly delicious Päffgen Kölsch is fresh from a gravity barrel/keg and poured nonstop to make sure you always have a beer. One of the more reasonable 0.2L pours in the city for only €1,90. Absolutely top notch!

Great local place, out of the main tourist area of Cologne. Great prices and good portions - feels like the kind of pub locals actually go to. The serving staff were two delightful old fellows who helped us poor non-German speakers out. Know that if you order a beer and don't put your coaster over the top when you're done, you will just keep being brought beer!

Best meal we’ve had in Cologne. Large portions, good prices and great taste. Come here if you want local authentic german pub meal away from the tourist areas!

Geht gar nicht ! Schlechtestes Essen in Köln meiner Meinung nach. Sorry, ist aber so. Da geh ich lieber weiter zum Bahnhofsimbiss und esse dort anständig.

Excellent

(Translated by Google) The hammer! Great desire for good bourgeois. Called there today to ask if I could reserve a table for myself tonight. "Just come in," it said on the phone. Said and done. Taxi ordered. 15 euros travel paid. Came in. No table free. I am offered a place at a table with 4 people with strangers. Just keep a distance of 50cm despite Corona? And finally, the "friendly" host mocks me something. Thanks for that. A simple no on the phone would have been enough. That's why I called extra! Very unprofessional! (Original) Der Hammer! Große Lust auf Gut Bürgerlich gehabt. Heute dort angerufen mit der Frage, ob ich einen heute Abend einen Tisch für mich reservieren kann. "Einfach reinkommen" hieß es am Telefon. Gesagt getan. Taxi bestellt. 15 Euro Anfahrt bezahlt. Reingekommen. Kein Tisch frei. Mir wird ein Platz an einem 4er Tisch mit Fremden angeboten. Trotz Corona nur 50cm Abstand halten? Und zum Guten Schluss spottet der "freundliche" Gastgeber mir noch was hinterher. Danke dafür. Ein einfaches Nein am Telefon hätte gereicht. Deshalb rief ich ja extra an! Sehr unprofessionell!

(Translated by Google) The food was so delicious. Great portion sizes. I didn't know that you can always get Kölsch, but that's probably normal in Cologne. The service was nice. Unfortunately there was no water for the dog. Therefore only four stars :-) (Original) Das Essen war so super lecker. Tolle Portionsgrößen. Ich kannte das nicht das man immer weiter Kölsch bekommt, aber das ist in Köln wohl normal. Der Service war nett. Es gab leider kein Wasser für den Hund. Deswegen nur vier Sterne :-)

Awesome food and great service. The place is a small and unnoticeable but it frequented by locals a lot. We tried the turkey snitzel and mushrooms stew and both were amazing.. however, vegetarian options are extremely limited and I might advise to skip the place if you aren't a meat eater.

Good atmospheric bistro with German kitchen and Köln beer. Staff is friendly, good service. Prices are law. Dishes are not bad and ordinary, like domestic food. Big and very nourishing portions. Smoking is not allowed.

Ich/Wir hoffen das ihr das alles übersteht, waren nicht so oft bei euch (ca. 3 mal im Jahr) aber es war IMMER LECKER-PREISWERT-LOCKER bei einem leckeren Bier/Kölsch..... Ihr habt die "Kölsche Tradition" noch drauf.....nix Touriladen, obwohl die auch da sind..., klappt aber...von wenigen negativen (üblichen) Kommentaren abgesehen... DIE WIRDS IM NET NET IMMER GEBEN!!!

(Translated by Google) In a classic restaurant atmosphere, delicious Päffgen Kölsch and lovingly prepared home-style cooking combine to form a culinary symphony, the melodies of which make Cologne's hearts beat faster in the heart of the Kuniberts district. The overwhelming cutlet with Cologne landmark potential has left its footprint impressively in the Walk of Food of my gourmet consciousness and makes the impressions of other restaurants fade. Again any time! (Original) Bei klassischem Gasthausambiente verbinden sich köstliches Päffgen Kölsch und liebevoll zubereitete Hausmannskost zu einer kulinarischen Sinfonie, deren Melodien die Kölner Herzen inmitten des Kuniberts-Viertels höher schlagen lassen.

Jederzeit gerne wieder!

(Translated by Google) I went to Max Stark twice with friends. You should definitely pre-order. We were there for a morning pint on Saturday morning. Right around the corner at the large table next to the entrance, nice place, there are delicious päffgen, quickly and quickly. The food the way mum used to cook, everyone will find something here, goods there until 5 p.m. I ordered little things, otherwise you can't drink that much because the portions are so big. If I had a tip from my friend, I would not have found it otherwise, but I will always pass it on. (Original) Mit Freunden war ich 2 mal im Max Stark. Man sollte auf jeden Fall vorbestellen. Wir waren Samstags Morgen zum Frühschoppen da. Direkt rechts um die Ecke am großen Tisch neben dem Eingang, schöner Platz.Es gibt leckeres Päffgen, schnell und zügig. Das Essen so wie Mutti früher gekocht hat.Hier findet jeder etwas.Waren bis 17.00 Uhr da. Habe Kleinigkeiten bestellt, sonst kann man nicht so viel trinken weil die Portionen so groß sind. War ein Tipp vom Bekannten, hätte es sonst leider nicht gefunden.Werde den Tipp aber immer weiter geben.

(Translated by Google) It's always a pleasure to stop by here. How often are you put off because all tables are occupied. That only says one thing, datt beer eat joot. Un to the müffele och! A small but fine brewery with great, friendly Köbes. The price-performance ratio is optimal and the food is excellent without exception. I always love to come back. When a table is free. 🤓😉 (Original) Es immer wieder ein Genuss hier einzukehren. Wie oft wird man vertröstet, da alle Tische besetzt sind. Das sagt nur eines, datt Bier iss joot. Un zum müffele och! Ein kleines, aber feines Brauhaus mit tollen, freundlichen Köbes. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist optimal und das Essen ist ausnahmslos exellent. Ich komme immer wieder gerne wieder. Wenn ein Tisch frei ist. 🤓😉

The atmosphere in this place is unbelievable, it radiates happiness and cheerfulness it’s hard to explain. The food was good, the portions were more than generous for the price. If you’re looking for a place to eat authentic comfort german food it’s the place to go. The only thing holding me back from giving it 5 stars is how unfriendly the waiter that took care of my order was (the 2 other staff members I have interacted with were really nice). PS : I had to wait for almost half an hour for a table, looks like it tends to get very busy so I think it’s better to make a reservation in advance.

A Real German place! Tasty food, nice service, simple deco with a real strong character. The size of the glassware and the custom-made tray in metal, to carry ten small beers with one hand is poetry to me. 😍 my schwein was as good as it gets 😁

Delicious German food and great staff away from the city center. Was great for our family trip to Köln.

I used to live just down the street from this wonderful place. Amazing food and very reasonable prices. I will back back every time I'm in Cologne!

Local place designed as a pub but with a wide variety of foods. A great opportunity to try horse meat. Loved every bit of it. Ordering Kölsch as your choice of drink is a must have!

Good food but only a couple beer options. Maybe being a foreigner we’d hoped for more but the beer they did have was ok. God quite busy and had a decent atmosphere. Just wished the staff were a bit friendlier

Stumbling upon this hidden gem in Cologne was a stroke of luck that we won't soon forget. The experience was nothing short of delightful, making us wish we could dine here every day. The malt beer was truly exceptional, a perfect complement to the flavors that awaited us. The Sauerbraten was an absolute revelation. The tenderness of the horse meat seemed almost magical, melting in your mouth with each bite. If you're in the area, make sure to pay this hidden gem a visit; you won't be disappointed.

The staff is so accommodating. We don’t have appointment and the place is already fully booked but they let us eat there but in the high table but its just okay for us since we wanna try their food. Schnitzel is so good and the Sauerbraten

Found this gem from reviews. It’s down a quiet road. We went on a Sunday evening and the place was packed and just got a small table for 2. Portions are large, they have menus in english and the service is friendly. You can pay cash or card.

It's mussels season. Ordered 2 mussels dishes. Both taste fantastic. Along with Kolsch beer which keep flowing through. Rump steak is good as well. Ambience is typical weekend restaurant settings. Fully packed yet enjoyable. Only one waiter when I was here. He was running around but keep the beer filled. Vielen Dank. Ordered food typical for 2 pax. But hey, i am 2. Overall very good experience.

Great food. Great German environment. Popular local restaurant

Very friendly waiting staff and warm atmosphere. This place was full for the duration of our visit (2-4pm) but this did not prevent the Kölsch from being replenished regularly or the waiter helping us with his recommendations from the menu. I had the horsemeat goulash and my partner had the mussels, both were delicious. They don't really focus on the aesthetics of the plate here but the food is authentic German comfort food. A very charming place to visit.

A neighborhood favorite! The staff are extremely friendly along with the customers. The meals are out of this world. It is a very communal restaurant and you will make some new friends. Prices are ridiculously inexpensive and my favorite German beer, the Pafgen Kolish, flows freely. Get there early as it is small and listen to the recommendations. For a real treat go on Tuesdays for the potato pancakes with different toppings. Every dish that we tried was outstanding and on our last meal there we toasted to our favorite waiter with this digestive. It did make the huge meal a little easier to finish.

Great place lovely friendly staff who spoke both English and German which was brilliant for us as we don’t speak a word of German. The food was absolutely lovely and the staff were really nice and friendly and brought up plenty of beer! A really great traditional German restaurant. Will definitely visit again! ⭐️

Friendly staff, good food and tasty beer. Recommend to visit for the beer and German food.

German and Rhenish cuisine like homemade or like with nuts! We will be back, next time instead of a starter with dessert like the homemade apple pancake. ?

(Translated by Google) Hi, my name is Martin. For me, the Max Stark brewery has been the place to go to when I wanted to enjoy a hearty meal with a delicious Kölsch. Unfortunately I don't have a cell phone and that's why Napi kicked me out of the shop today. I find that really sad and this beautiful connection that I have with the brewery has unfortunately faded somewhat. I wanted to give my landline number, but it shouldn't be enough. I hope to have a different experience next time. I'll be back because I know that the Max Stark brewery is more than just such an act. Thanks & greetings Martin (Original) Hi, mein Name ist Martin. Das Brauhaus Max Stark war für mich, bis zum heutigen Tag der Ort, zu dem ich am liebsten gegangen bin, wenn ich ein zünftiges Essen bei einem leckeren Kölsch genießen wollte. Leider besitze ich kein Handy und deswegen wurde ich heute von Napi aus dem Laden geworfen. Das finde ich wirklich traurig und diese schöne Verbindung, die ich zu dem Brauhaus habe ist leider etwas verblasst. Ich wollte meine Festnetznummer angeben, aber die sollte nicht reichen. Ich hoffe, das ich beim nächsten mal eine andere Erfahrung mache. Ich komme wieder, denn ich weiß, das das Brauhaus Max Stark mehr ist als eine solche Handlung. Danke & Liebe Grüße Martin

The place is just amazing! We tried traditional German pork sausage with fries and the stew with the pint of fine German beer and everything was very fresh and tasty. The service was great as well, even though the place was quite crowded in the middle of the day, we didn't have to wait for too long: the waiter kindly invited us to our table with the food already served really fast. Besides, the place is very authentic. Will definitely visit it again if I have a chance!

A great bar/ restaurant for local food. Communal tables, which is great speaking to lovely local people. We came here two days in a row because we enjoyed it so much.

(Translated by Google) Really typical place in the city of Cologne. Hearty food as per local tradition. Truly memorable setting. Here too, every time you finish a mug of beer they bring you another one, unless you cover the glass with the coaster. They cost 1.5 euros every 20dl. That is, almost nothing. A place not to be missed. (Original) Posto davvero tipico nella città di Colonia. Cibo sostanzioso come da tradizione locale. Ambiente davvero memorabile. Anche qui ogni volta che hai finito un boccale di birra te ne portano un altro, a meno che tu non copra il bicchiere con il sottobicchiere. Costano 1,5 euro ogni 20dl. Ovvero, quasi nulla. Un posto da non perdere.

Very nice place. The food is simple, but made with lots of love. I had a potato with cream and herbs and can't stop thinking about it. It's also very good value for money.

Really enjoyed it here. Nice beer, lovely food. Book ahead as it gets busy.

Best Schnitzel with Zigeunersauce I've ever had. Really great place with awesome food! Not over-priced, not a tourist spot (yet 😋).

One of the more authentic experiences I've had in Germany. Packed with locals sitting almost shoulder to shoulder, yet great service that keeps the beer flowing (until you tell them to stop) despite the crowd. Food could not be faulted for the low-range prices.

Friendly service, the food looks simple - but it was so tasty & fresh. And I'm not a beer fan, but the beer was very refreshing and so good! Definitely a great find and I totally recommend this place!

Great German food at an affordable price and great German beer!! Worth a visit

Excellent food and (rare) Päffgen Kölsch straight from the keg. The horsemeat Sauerbraten is their specialty.

Best local food in town! Great atmosphere and beers.

Great place to be, the locals where so nice, that food was just amazing. Really love this place. When you go to Cologne this is the place to be.

German dishes, lovely place.

Good restaurant, gentle staff, suitable prices, good services

Five of us were able to find an entree of our choice. We each enjoyed our choices. We all thought this was the best dinner we had in Cologne. I especially enjoyed the Bratwurst.

Classic Köln Brauhaus with traditional menu. Food was fresh and good but the servers seemed harried and were a bit curt, but maybe that’s also part of the charm?

Very tasty food on great prize. I could easily fill myself to full.

The food is really below average, price for the quality of food u get is disproportionate. I ordered schnitzel, the meat was tasteless, with pommes that is not fresh, was frozen, and a salad, which was good. My friend ordered Pferd saurbraten, it was also not impressive at all. Not recommended.

Dessert was amazing, wine was fab.

Great place, great food and typical German atmosphere. I'll recommend da place

A German place that must be visited. Friendly staff, super clean restaurant, amazing food and good price. Highly recommended!

Just awesome! So tasty and so friendly and cozy! Looks like classic German pub a lot of regular customers which are citizens, there a lot of tourists as well. Advise to order the place before.

Just arrived in Koln and we were wondering where we can get authentic german food and beer at 10 PM. Boom! Found the perfect place. Highly recommended.

Very nice place, with a lot of good vibes. Simple as excellent food. Very kind service. Mainly local people. Just go, and enjoy !

We stumbled into this little gem of a restaurant from a cold and rainy night. It was packed even at the late hour we arrived and the service was brisk and efficient. We were seated and served in minutes despite the crowd and the waitress who attended to us brought usan English menu and ran through how to order clearly. We had the roast pork and deep fried camembert with beer and it was one of the most memorable meals we had here. The pork roast was incredibly tender and flavorful and the onion gravy was amazing. The camembert was perfectly unctuous and was delicious paired with bread. We just couldn't stop drinking the smooth and refreshing beer! Wow! Highly recommended. Pork Trotters only available on Fridays though!

Extremely rude server, asked for water, before I'd get a meal, he brought me a beer, I said I didn't order one, he: "this is a brewery people come here to drink beer". Not the most welcoming remark.

Huge portions and amazing delicious food! The beer is very good as well!

One of the few traditional restaurants with local cuisine that we found. The food was great, the staff friendly and the beer cold! (The only thing we will never get used to is the size of beer - it's only 0.2 l!)

Yoooooooo this place was so good!! People were lovely, we loved the Kolsch beer, the horse meat was a first for me… I didn’t take any photos because I screwed up, but man oh man this was excellent!

Sauerbraten made of horse meat. Acquired taste. Malt beer was good (sweet). Overall price was very reasonable (20% lower than restaurants at historical city centre).

For anyone looking for a very German dining experience, this is the place to be! I rated it 4 stars because without a reservation, you have to wait (sometimes up to 1 hour) to be seated. Still, waiting for 1 hour in Max Stark is definitely fun and worth it! Staff are incredibly friendly, speak English and do their best to serve you until you are seated. The restaurant offers a daily specials menu with seasonal dishes. My personal favourite part is: you are seated on a shared table and sometimes get to meet great people from all over Europe that have also come to Max Stark for a typical German cultural experience.

My partner and I came here today and it was incredible. My partner got the pork knuckle and he said it was the best cooked piece of meat he's ever had in his life. I had the horse meat and it was delicious! Would definitely recommend making a reservation before coming :)

Oh my. One of best meals I've had on my 2+ months in Europe. The roasted pork with braised onions was fantastic. The mushroom starter was great too. Reasonably priced and not far from train station. I would suggest reservations. Well worth a dinner when in Cologne !

Excellent food. Great service and atmosphere. Normally I would photo the food before digging in. But....delicious roast goose breast, goose gravy, light and fluffy potato dumplings, roasted apple and sprouts with bacon and garlic. Couldn't resist. We had four great nights in Cologne but Max Stark was the highlight. Mrs J had the beef goulash - her favourite meal. Book!

My last day in Cologne and my daughter and I wanted to try some trad German food. These guys didn't disappoint! Service is rated bad because I called ahead and asked if they had a reservation they said just walk in and we'll manage but when I got there I was told I need to finish and leave in 45mins because they have a prior reservation, I didn't have any other option so I did that. Overall I'd have appreciated had they told me on the phone not to visit!

Was able to snag a table during the mid afternoon. Portions are very generous. We ordered the jagerschnitzel and the pork knuckle. I don't know how anyone finishes the pork knuckle themselves! It was delicious and fall off the bone tender. Small cozy find.

So nice we went thrice. My friend and his father loved the tuck, the only word to describe it was wunderbar. Try the metthappen, it's meant to happen.

Great food, atmosphere and friendly service. We had a great time with good food. Local dishes with fair prices. Roasted pork was just delicious (I think they only cook it on Fridays). A must in Koln!

Cozy brewpub/restaurant in walking distance from the city center. Nice service and good food. Recommended…

Great authentic German food! Locals eat here, so some of the waitstaff don’t speak English but they will improvise. The kolsch beer was always fresh, cold and refilled promptly. Horse meat was an acquired taste (mostly sour was it’s marinated in vinegar)

over salted veal schnitzel (23€) was practically inedible. the onion topping the overcooked porkchop (17€) was also brutally oversalted. when we mentioned it to the waiter, he came back from the kitchen and said they cooked it in a salty pan. the salad that came with the veal was good and the mushroom appetizer was tasty. caveat emptor

Got a local feeling with it being off the tourist path. Very cosy, recommend booking. Beer flowing freely and yum.

This restaurant needs more staff, they were busy and cause the poor service…. In general, the restaurant does not have many table available so it usually pretty full. We were there around 14:00 on weekdays, and still waiting for table around 10-15 minutes. While waiting, you could also drinking some beer or other drinks. Food is super gooooooood and big portion. Mustard and tomato sauce are free as well. There are regular menu and special menu. I really love food here. It was fresh and well-cooked. The combination of the side dish were great. Service was awkward. The older guy was nice and sincere but another you guy, he seems too stress and lacking of service mind. However, they both serve beer fast ><~ So more like 3.5 as an awkward experience, but food was good enough and the old guy save it so I mark a four-star here.

The 700 gram pork chop was well worth the wait

Best Schnitzel I ever had! We had the turkey breast schnitzel and instead of fries, asked for fried potatos. It was perfect
