    I went there during their lunch hours, and my steak and potatoes were made perfectly. I wish I had a double helping the mashed potatoes. My only issue was how rude my waitress was, I felt like she was giving me dirty looks and didn’t really want to be there. She was impatient and it felt like she was rushing me to place my order. The food is good, but not worth the dining experience

    Ordered the surf and turf which consist of a 180g black Angus steak, 2 king prawns and some kind of baked potato with cheese. For drinks, I had a non alcoholic mocktail called Fashion Lady. The meal was delicious and the portion was just right. The serving time was quick and the waiters were friendly. All in all, a standard steakhouse located within the shopping area for a quick lunch/dinner. The restaurant is located on the first floor and there is a lift for wheelchair accessibility.

    Glad they were open on Boxing Day, there was a festive atmosphere and the staff spoke perfect English and service was attentive even though they were busy. The food was mostly OK!

  • 4/5 Adnan S. 4 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    Centrally located in a busy shopping street but you hardly feel it once inside. Atmosphere is nice and friendly staff fluent in English so that was plus. Steak was right up there to the mark, i wish they could be generous with the sides for the price they are charging. Recommended.

    (Translated by Google) The steaks are excellent as always, foil potatoes are highly recommended as a side dish. And the salad is still just as tasty as it used to be at Apellhofplatz. (Original) Die Steaks sind wie immer hervorragend, sehr zu empfehlen sind Folienkartoffeln als Beilage. Und der Salat ist immer noch genauso lecker wie früher am Apellhofplatz.

    Wanna watch out for the small entrance. Restaurant on the 1st floor. Food is good. Service is relatively fast. Lunch menu offers on weekdays. We had regular cheeseburger, sirloin steak and pasta aglio e olio. All the dishes tasted good. Prices are fine. A recommendation if you're in the area and feeling hungry 👍🏽 (7.5/10)

  • 5/5 Isla 1 year ago on Google • 129 reviews
    Great steak in a really nice quiet environment. If you want somewhere a bit quieter for a steak overlooking the high street. Felt nice and fancy but not too fancy. Curly fries, coleslaw and steak all good.

  • 5/5 Mr., Mrs. & Little Miss V. 1 year ago on Google • 87 reviews
    Good restaurant. We were late, but they did not mind. They were very friendly. Nice ambiance. Food is good, especially the lamb! Would definitely eat here again.

  • 5/5 Clem M. 1 year ago on Google • 42 reviews
    Wonderful stakehouse in the heart of Cologne! We got some large fillet steaks and an assortment of sides, plus sauces, and everything we got was a winner. The particular standouts were the mac & cheese, the coleslaw and of course the steak itself, which was cooked to perfection. Great ambience, and the location is excellent.

  • 5/5 جمال �. 1 year ago on Google
    A relatively small restaurant in the first floor that offers hearty meals. I ordered the mix grill for 23 euros which was a real treat. The meat was tender and well cooked and the vegetables were very fresh and sautéed perfectly.

  • 4/5 Boby W. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent customer service in English and German. Properly cooked tasty food. It's not located by road side, entrance is small so high possibility to leave this place unnoticed. No outdoor fooding.

  • 3/5 Ivan G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok food, not terrible but definitely not spectacular. For the price, it should deliver more. The steak was a bit chewy and a bit off from perfectly executed. And in general, no meal that has pommes frites should cost 30+ euros, even if it's only a replacement for the regular potato having salty sauce.

  • 5/5 Jason D. 1 year ago on Google
    I was looking for a burger, which is rare to find in Köln. This one was excellent by any standard with tender juicy Angus hamburger, a fresh bakery bun unlike store bought buns most restaurants in the states have. The curly fries were perfect and crispy. I can’t speak to the steaks but if I’m back and in the mood, will give it a go.

  • 5/5 Benjámin B. 5 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ladislav M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great choice for meat eaters. Restaurant is located on the first floor but it's accessible by the lift. We visited during the lunch time and staff was friendly and welcoming. Food was prepared (unusually) fast and fast was very tasty.

  • 3/5 Savvas 1 year ago on Google
    I ate the Serloin stake 300gr. Tastewise the stake was not the best thing but the price was very reasonable. I suggest you get a sauce with your stake for the extra taste.

  • 5/5 tea p. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an amazing experience at the Steak House. The staff were so friendly and even though we hadn’t booked and they had no space they kept us updated for when a table became available. The waiter (I believe his name was Tisch) was so wonderful and attentive. He made us feel so welcome and at ease the whole experience. The food was incredible and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking to have a great time, just remember to book as they do get busy.

  • 5/5 Babs K. 9 months ago on Google • 14 reviews
    Absolutely perfect! Great steaks & lovely service. I always want my steak rare, but it is actually rare to get it red and warm. This one was perfect! Will definitely visit again.

    Feels like tourist restaurant. Steak was ok a bit over cooked. Hamburger was fine . Beer was always good, there go for the wine

  • 4/5 Sherry E. 6 years ago on Google
    The black Angus rumpsteak is really good! Ordered medium for the steak. Portion is big. Service is good. Though the mixed salad and the bread is not that fantastic.

  • 5/5 Serena den T. 9 months ago on Google
    For dinner they have very nice steaks, salads and cocktails (also alcohol free options). Waiters were very kind and professional. Would defenitly come back to this place!

  • 3/5 Joris V. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 sven de s. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 SS H. 8 months ago on Google
    We were welcomed with a smile and overall service was great. The burgers we ordered, were quite large and tasted good, though the curly fries which came with it were a bit on the salty side. Our steak was as requested 'medium well'. Then last but not least the mixed grill consisted of a small sausage, a strip of pork, chicken fillet, and a burger paddy, which tasted well seasoned but were all on the salty side. The baked potatoe with sour cream and chives was awesome. They also serve fish and pasta here.

  • 5/5 J. W. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Thorsten H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The small steak house has been an excellent destination to end the evening for many years. There is enough space, the menu (the name of the restaurant determines the main menu here) - now also prepared for younger audiences - offers a variety of appealing dishes (as well as the wine list). The ingredients are of high quality and the service is super attentive. I have never been disappointed here, on the contrary! (Original) Das kleine Steakhaus ist seit vielen Jahren schon ein hervorragendes Ziel, um den Abend ausklingen zu lassen. Man hat hinreichend Platz, der Speisekarte (der Name des lokals bestimmt hier das Kernangebot) bietet - nunmehr auch für jüngeres Publikum aufbereitet - eine Vielzahl ansprechender Gerichte (wie auch die Weinkarte). Die Zutaten sind qualitativ Hochwertig und der Service super Aufmerksam. Ich wurde hier noch nie enttäuscht, ganz im Gegenteil!

    (Translated by Google) I've been to the restaurant a lot, but now it was the last time! The food is quite good but the service is extremely bad. It started with the fact that we asked for the drinks menu and only got a snappy answer that they didn't exist. This unfriendly behavior of the service staff has not changed during our entire stay. When we asked for the bill, she only had one eye roll for us because we wanted to pay with a card. As I said, I have eaten there several times, the service has never been perfect, but this time it was a cheek. (Original) Ich war schon wirklich oft in dem Restaurant essen, jetzt war es aber das letzte mal! Das Essen ist ganz gut aber der Service ist außerordentlich schlecht. Es hat schon damit angefangen das wir nach der Getränkekarte gefragt haben und darauf nur eine schnippische Antwort bekommen haben, das es diese nicht gibt. Dieses unfreundliche Verhalten der Servicekraft hat sich während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts nicht geändert. Als wir nach der Rechnung gefragt haben, hatte sie nur ein Augenrollen für uns übrig weil wir mit Karte zahlen wollten. Wie gesagt war ich schon öfter dort essen, der Service war noch nie perfekt aber dieses mal war es schon ein Frechheit.

    The restaurant is nothing fancy, about 15 tables or so on the second floor with elevator accessible. But the service was superb and the food was great. I was referred by by some people in the tour office back in the USA. My wife had shrimp and i had lamb chops and both were excellent and were served quite quickly

  • 4/5 Sigmund E. 2 years ago on Google
    The steak and fries were very good. Burgers was a bit boring. We ate here two days in a row. Not the best service for dinner on a busy Saturday but the overall experience was good.

  • 5/5 Sovann K. 4 years ago on Google
    Good steak is never cheap and so close tk the Kölner Dom I expected it to be especially pricey. Wrong! The food is very affordable, especially for how good it is! Staff was very attentative and polite, despite our luggage. Very quiet atmosphere and overall enjoyable experience.
