Please DO NOT GO to MADERO KÖLN if you can : HORRIBLE: WAITING FOR 1 HOUR 15 MN and we still were not served. I had to request when the courses will be ready otherwise we leave the restaurant. They finally served us after 1h20 waiting. The meat quality was very ordinary for a €34.99 Prime Rib Steak. The staff was so unpleasant. The service was shabby, the staff do not care about guests, no welcome when we come in, no goodbye when we leave. Too expensive and too unpleasant for a French tourist. Especially too scornful to make customers wait 1:20 without explanation or excuse

I don't really know why there are so many bad reviews. The service was friendly and accommodating. The meat was excellently fried. The only thing I had to complain about was the soft sweet potato fries. But this can happen with the number of guests.

Maredo is cheaper than I thought. Kudos for that. Put the salad together yourself. But this one was fresh and delicious. The taste of the fillet was good, but it doesn't come close to the high-quality steak shops. Dad staff was very friendly. But I had ordered my steak well done. Then came Medium. So I had to complain about it. I was put the same piece of meat back on the grill. This means it would be cooked through but burned on the outside. Meat lovers know that meat can only be prepared correctly once. So I would have to watch my colleague eat and then eat my saved and matchy old fries with it. Dear Maredo, you don't eat a steak every day. Man treats himself to something so expensive. That should be fine then.

The service was friendly. Unfortunately my meal was disappointing. I had the Maredo burger. The meat was ok, but unfortunately every McDonald's burger is better (and I'm absolutely not a McDonald's fan). The bun was cold and not tasty (I really don't know what "rustic" was supposed to mean). The burger had some lettuce, onions and a slice of tomato on it. Luckily I also ordered a slice of chedder (for an extra charge of €0.99). As a side dish I chose sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, these weren't really crispy and tasted more than average. For 11.99€ I don't expect star cuisine but a little more than what they mean by a burger there. Well, that was my last visit and at least The Kölsch was ok. So not recommended. The Kelner gets the 2nd star. Otherwise it would definitely only be one star

Went there yesterday. First, we waited for the waitress to notice us and bring us some menus. Then we waited for her to bring us forks, knives and all this stuff but eventually we just took them from the table next to us. After that, we ordered our food (tasted nice), and also ordered some ketchup which we never got and had to get ourselves. What was the worst, is that we said we wanted to pay, waited for like 15 mins, nobody came to us, so we stood up and there was still no reaction at all!!! If we went away, nobody would notice. So we had to actually come to waiters and ask to pay!! Unacceptable service and even nicely tasting food will not save it.

(Translated by Google) The food and service were generally satisfactory. It is partly about convenience, especially the desserts. The decor is more reminiscent of McDonalds than a nice steak house. (Original) Das Essen und der Service waren grundsätzlich zufriedenstellend. Es handelt sich z.T. um Convenience, besonders die Desserts. Die Einrichtung erinnert eher an McDonalds als an ein schönes Steakhaus.

It was pretty crowded today. We waited half an hour for the cutlery (for the salad) and another hour for the main course, until it turned out that our order had been forgotten. Extremely overworked waiters. After 1.5 hours drinks on the house.

Maredo not only serves delicious steaks but also mega desserts. On this visit the service was really poor, drinks after the meal, sauces forgotten and a mess with the bill. Therefore a star deduction. Hope the service is as usual next time you visit 😎

We were there shortly after opening and ate the salad deal. Unfortunately, almost all of the plates at the buffet were dirty with leftovers. The tables were also dirty, probably from the lecture. That should not happen. Regarding the dirty plate, the shift manager immediately apologized and instructed that all plates be cleaned again. Overall, he acted very professionally. The salad buffet was delicious and fresh. Absolutely acceptable in terms of price.

-Food was OK. - not a screamer. -Prices are based on the proximity to the cathedral, I would say. -Salad is great. -Next time I would take the salad deal for 9.90 euros. -I can't judge the steak because I ate schnitzel.

Great service and friendly staff. Quality 1 a

Steak was very tasty, if you like it, it really tasted like a stable or pasture. That's right. Perfect medium. Of course without any spice. Anyone can spice it up without having to taste it. The beef.

Buffet and hygiene concept exemplary

Food tastes great! Service was not as expected. They forgot to provide us with knives and forks & I had to call over a server to get us some.

Service was quite annoyed and not really friendly, steaks were not cooked to the desired cooking point, when asked, the steak was fried, but not with the desired result. Food otherwise ok.

This place was just awful. I have no idea how it got a higher rating. Perhaps Europeans are not aware of a good steak? This was far worse than North American chain restaurants. The steak (rib eye) was barely warm when it arrived, the meat was tough despite having it medium, and it was completely bland. The accompanying mashed potatoes were rubbery without that delicious buttery flavour. The bottled still water was room temperature and the glass was worn and scuffed (side rant: why are Germans against simple tap ice water?? It's ridiculous paying ~5euros for warm water). This place denigrates the cow that gave up its life to feed us. I had more enjoyment from the McD's down the street which had hot fries and properly cooked meat. Super disappointed. Please save your money and eat elsewhere.

(Translated by Google) Today we ordered 2 x 250 g rump steak with baked potatoes and a salad from the buffet. This shouldn't be rocket science in a steak house. The steak came and was terrifying ... neither the shape nor the cooking point resembled a rump steak. No. 1 was reminiscent of an old bulging hat and the other of a boatman's knot. One went straight back the other after cutting. It was supposed to be medium and wrongly cut raw. Trial No. 2: Now the meat looked like rump steak but was completely raw on the inside. We then suggested to the waiter that we pay exactly what we ate, but return the meat again. Both waiters Ali and Metin were very friendly and apologized a thousand times and insisted that we pay nothing. Still important to know .... the chef was the chef himself. NEVER AGAIN MAREDO AT THE DOM (Original) Wir haben heute 2 x 250 g Rumpsteak bestellt dazu Ofenkartoffeln und Salat vom Buffet. Das sollte kein Hexenwerk in einem Steakhaus sein. Das Steak kam und war erschreckend...weder Form noch Garpunkt erinnerte an ein Rumpsteak. Nr 1 erinnerte an einen alten ausgebeulten Hut das andere an einen Schifferknoten. Eins ging direkt zurück das andere nach dem Anschneiden. Es sollte medium sein und war roh dazu falsch geschnitten. Versuch Nr. 2: Jetzt sah das Fleisch nach Rumpsteak aus war jedoch von innen komplett roh. Daraufhin haben wir dem Kellner vorgeschlagen dass wir genau das bezahlen was wir verzehrt haben, das Fleisch jedoch abermals zurückgeben. Beide Kellner Ali und Metin waren sehr freundlich und haben sich tausendmal entschuldigt und bestanden darauf dass wir gar nichts zahlen. Noch wichtig zu wissen....der Koch war der Chef selbst. NIE WIEDER MAREDO AM DOM

(Translated by Google) Sorry, but the good times seem to be over at Maredo. The steak still tastes good, but the ambience is a bit worn. (Original) Sorry, aber die guten Zeiten scheinen bei Maredo vorbei zu sein. Das Steak schmeckt zwar immer noch, aber das Ambiente wirkt etwas abgegriffen.

(Translated by Google) Convenient ... served ... inexpensive (Original) Comodo...servito... poco costoso

(Translated by Google) The meat was dry the service didn't listen to the order and the toilets are filthy and smelly ... very bad for this price-performance ratio (Original) Das fleisch war trocken der Service hörte einem bei der bestellung nicht zu und die toiletten sind völlig verdreckt und stinken... für dieses preis Leistungsverhältnis sehr schlecht

(Translated by Google) You can visit, but it is not a must. Food ok. Prices a little overpriced. Ambience cool. Atmospheric rather a canteen. (Original) Kann man besuchen, ist aber kein Muss. Essen ok. Preise etwas überteuert. Ambiente kühl. Atmosphärisch eher eine Kantine.

(Translated by Google) Dirty tables, greasy floors, the waiter's shirt was like a butcher's, parts of the salad bar were old and slippery. And that was only part ... (Original) Dreckige Tische, Boden schmierig ,das Hemd des Kellners war wie vom Metzger , Teile der Salatbar waren alt und glitschig . Und das war nur ein Teil ...

(Translated by Google) Side dishes wrong and all on one plate. Wrong steak size on demand evasive answer and the cooking point in both English rather than medium. For this price, there is much better quality elsewhere. At the neighboring table, the side dish was also served incorrectly and instead of 400g, it was given a 250g steak. Men’s toilet okay, women’s toilet Broken flush and moderately clean. The bottom line is that I rather appreciate this restaurant as a tourist catcher than a customer-oriented steak house. (Original) Beilagen falsch und alle auf einem Teller. Falsche Steak Größe auf Nachfrage ausweichende Antwort und der Garpunkt bei beiden eher Englisch als Medium. Für diesen Preis gibt's woanders deutlich bessere Qualität. Beim Nachbartisch wurde ebenfalls die Beilage falsch angerichtet und sie bekam statt 400g ein 250g Steak. Herren Toilette okay, Damen Toilette Defekte Spülung und mässig sauber. Unterm Strich schätze ich dieses Restaurant leider eher als Touristen Fänger ein als Kunden orientiertes Steak Haus.

(Translated by Google) Delicious food, service so la la .... Too little staff and too much to do .... we waited 40 minutes for a steak (shop was only full ?) (Original) Leckeres Essen, Bedienung so la la....Zu wenig Personal und zu viel zu tun....wir haben 40 Minuten fuer ein Steak gewartet (Laden war nur hall voll ?)

Very bad steak

Horrible place. The waiter was super friendly, however the chef doesn't know how to cook a steak. There was 3 of us, one ordering medium rare the others medium, what we were served was 3 rare steaks. The salad bar also looked like it was a day old, nothing seemed fresh. Would not recommend!

We were there on a Sunday, early afternoon. There wasn't much going on. The restaurant looks cozy and has a nice atmosphere. The service was friendly, the waiting time was short and the food was excellent. If you like steaks, you can't go wrong here. There are also numerous alternatives for non-steak eaters. Prices upper midrange, but definitely justified. Recommendation.

First time here, for business lunch, and left with a good impression. Almost a 5 star. I went for the vegetable burger with bacon (I know, a contradiction, or maybe not), and it was good. Particularly the side vegetables were perfectly done.

This was definitely one of the best burgers I've eaten so far. Furthermore, the ambience is very successful. Priced in the upper segment but not out of the ordinary.

Cool people

We came during Christmas time. The place had a few guests at 16h. We were promptly seated. The waitress got our drinks in less than 10 min. Got our order and left 5 min latter. At 16:50 we got our food. My flank steak was a day special. Amazing. My mom and wife got a huft steak with champion and wild rice. My son a steak and fries. All of them liked it. Why 4 ? We asked for an English Menu and took her our drink order to get it. Instead of bringing it right away we had to help mom with her order. She could have done this in less than 30s. The menus were a few steps away from our table. My son was a bit loud and she shush him in front of me even though she saw me talking to him. In conclusion, the standards were met and we had ours very high since we came from an amazing restaurant in Aachen (Parsley) with an amazing steak.

Today we decided to have dinner. I also know the staff to be friendlier. Drinks came quickly and quickly. The menu says “shrimp with garlic bread and mixed salad” under starters. Shrimp were great. Actually a full 5 stars for that, but... The 2nd slice of garlic bread was hard, fresh is different. If I dipped it in the shrimp oil mixture, I could eat it better. Now came the salad mix. It's a shame... in another Maredo I was served vinegar and oil separately. Here I nibbled on the individual pieces of lettuce. My companion said, you're not a sheep. Then I tossed the lettuce, but I saw lots of brown leaves and ends. No, I don't have to do that. Very disappointing. When the waiter cleared the plates he asked if everything was okay. I said no. Then the store manager or chef came and asked why it wasn't good. I explained it to him and he said that the salad mix was 120g of salad and the salad tincture was under the salad on the plate. OK. I speared the salad with a fork and didn't see any of the tincture. As I said, I know it differently from the Maredo. As an apology, my companion and I each received a cappucino on the house. I thank you for that too. There is an extra point for his explanations and understanding. Therefore 4 stars I'm excited to see what happens next time.

Seemed like there maybe were 3 people at work. A bad waiter, a decent waiter and an absent hostess. We were received by the bad waiter who told us to find a place to sit after he finished fiddling with the register. We found a table and were given menus. Before we had time to decide we were asked for drink orders - all by the bad waiter. We ordered a bottle of wine that then was delivered by the decent waiter, who then took our dinner order, engaged in conversation and gave helpful insights. We ordered 3 steaks one mediun-rare, one medium and one medium-well. We were told to go ahead and start with the salad. The salad was excellent, many different types and all fresh. After a while the bad waiter came with our steaks, not knowing which was which. The cooking was not spot on the medium-well was more well done than medium, the medium was also closer to well done and the mediun-rare was more medium. The sauce we ordered was only delivered after we asked for it. When we finished eating and wanted to pay it took a long time for the waiter to come with the receipt and take payment. We were actually considering just getting up and leaving. We played the bill that for the quality, service and experience was more than double what it had all been worth. All through out this we only saw the hostess about 5 minutes the rest of the time she was nowhere to be seen. All in all I would NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone unless they like sub standard service and sub standard food.

Yummy

Great food, best treatment from an amazing staff. We had really good time and enjoyed the food 👍🏻

Terrible experience. Awful service. I just couldn’t eat. Waiters let me waiting for 25 minutes and basically refused to come take food order. When I complained about not having a hint of attention I was pretty much told to get lost and leave if I wanted to— all in German because no effort to speak in any other language English Spanish French Italian was made. Maredo is usually a honest pick but avoid this team here with all your heart.

Both the rump steak and the rump steak were cooked great. Ordered medium, received medium. Meat quality was very good. Steakhouse = steak.😉 I've also read other reviews. The side dishes of beans, leaf spinach, fries and baked potatoes were very good. The burgers were great. My daughter said it was comparable to a burger restaurant in our area. (Not a fast food chain!) Salad buffet: everything fresh, everything there. Dessert: Lava cake and cheesecake were great. We've all had enough. The staff was friendly and attentive, everything came to the table quickly and at the same time. The ambience and the arrangement of the plates could certainly be improved, but they could also be worse. But then I also have to go to an upscale restaurant. All in all, it was a lovely evening.

The food was very good and I would go there again. I recommend the Maredo Burger

(Translated by Google) Clean, fast, friendly, good food with salads, only cappuccino unfortunately a little very expensive ? (Original) Sauber, schnell , freundlich, gutes Essen mit Salaten, nur Cappuccino leider etwas sehr teuer ?

(Translated by Google) Very sinewy meat and gristle in it. So just not cleaned properly. Baked potatoes probably several days old and no longer edible. The dessert was a disaster too. Thawed frozen cheesecake. Get vanilla ice cream instead of the raspberry ice cream advertised on the menu. The only plus point is the friendly service. (Original) Fleisch sehr sehnig und Knorpel drin. Also einfach nicht richtig geputzt. Ofenkartoffel vermutlich mehrere Tage alt und nicht mehr genießbar. Der Nachtisch war auch ein Desaster. Gefrorenen Käsekuchen aufgetaut. Vanilleeis statt dem auf der Karte angekündigten Himbeereis bekommen. Den einzigen Pluspunkt gibt es für die nette Bedienung.

Good food and nice service :)

Decent steak. Weird service but not in a bad way just slow to bring the bill. Would go again

Good steaks

Very nice food and all you can eat salad bar for €9.99. Good service and a beer served in a large glass.

The food and the service was very good.

(Translated by Google) Service helplessly overwhelmed despite the small number of guests, one of the worst steaks I have ever eaten. Loveless and dispassionate. (Original) Service trotz geringer Gästeanzahl hilflos überfordert, eines der schlechtesten Steaks welches ich je gegessen habe. Lieb- und Leidenschaftslos.

(Translated by Google) Maredo is normally known for very good quality. Unfortunately my partner and I were unlucky. Fruit flies buzzed on the salad biffet Rum, the vegetables were sometimes already crumpled. The steak which should be medium was very raw inside for medium conditions and the fries were very tasteless. The service was nice and quick and presented the offers to us (Original) Maredo ist im normal für sehr gute Qualität bekannt . Leider hatten mein Partner und ich Pech. Am Salat biffet schwirrten lauter Fruchtfliegen Rum das Gemüse war teilweise schon schrummelig. Das Steak welches Medium sein sollte war innen sehr roh für Medium Verhältnisse und die Pommes waren sehr geschmacklos. Die Bedienung war nett und auch schnell und hat uns die Angebote vorgestellt

I love the food and the service. Perfect tomato soup

Would not recommend. Service and ambiance were fine but the food was disappointing. I was served a thin steak completely on its own on a conspicuously large plate and noticed right away that it was well done rather than medium. When I sent it back I did get a better cooked and thicker steak almost instantly. The lettuce at the salad bar was stale. I ate only a few of the small, stale crumbly nachos that came with a tiny spot of cheese sauce rather than actual melted cheese. Overall it had a bit of a fast food feel. If you want a proper steakhouse look elsewhere.
