Of course the owners are almost certainly coming from a place of genuine respect and appreciation for Old South culture, and Germans aren't as sensitive as Americans are regarding racial issues, but it's certainly cringey at times.

The menu descriptions are in German, but the dish names were all English, I didn't ask if they had an English menu because I didn't need it. I opted for a beer, water, and pick-two BBQ... ribs, wings, and fries all sounded good and that one hits them all. The waitress asked if I wanted mayonnaise which gave me the opportunity to decline and ask for ketchup. I'm not exactly sure which stout I got, but it was smooth. The food came out shortly and was a generous portion and they put the whole bottle of ketchup on the table for my fries! Crispy chicken wings were the whole wing like you'd get in fried chicken but simply fried (no breading, no sauce, no seasoning- crispy skin). Ribs were tender enough, crispy on the outside with some sauce squeezed ontop. The fries are thick cut and were the star of the dish. Overall there's nothing wrong with the food or service and it satisfies the craving for this type of food. But, it's no replacement for barbecue from the bayou in the US.

The list of beers included stouts from New Orleans, which my friend was brave enough to try. Unless you are an experienced beer drinker, I would recommend sticking to the local brews like Herforder Pils because the stout has a very unique and probably acquired taste. The New Orleans decor inside the bar/restaurant is pretty cool too.

You will find all the Americana you want, but I was more focused in finding something in the menu that was not a giant burger. I choose the fish salad and seemed to be the German version of the fish and chips. I love the fried here, especially the rustic style. Maybe they grow them in the huge field outside? For the locals, seems to be pretty popular among the biker community. I would have not known or gone to this area unless was work related, so it was ok for me.

The setting: Located in a bucolic area, surrounded by farms…read moreand orchards, this place used to be a barn, but has been renovated years ago, to make it look like a road stop - hence its name. The inside: Rustic, quaint and all dark timber. Complete with US memorabilia and old signs, vintage license plates, old school fluorescent beer signs and advertising and an old gas pump. The food: Used to be better. Back in the days when this was one of the only burger places in town. Or, quite possibly I've just outgrown the frozen standard patty and am expecting a little bit more for a burger that sets you back between €8-12. To give you an example: They serve these standard sesame buns that you can get in bulk at discount retailers. My dad ordered their Sea Burger (or whatever it was called) and it was fish in a batter, a sad tomato, some lettuce and no sauce or extra seasoning. Yeah. Call that a dry burger - it was completely lacking any originality or love. I had their signature Road Stop Burger and they used to be more generous with the baked beans if I remember correctly. The patty must have shrunk over the years and it seemed lost in an oversized bun - the last remnant and witness of a better, more plentiful past. In general this burger gave the impression that it's lacking something - probably more generous toppings and some fresh, ground beef. And if that's too much to ask for - at least fix the toppings. So ... nothing that knocks your socks off. Don't get me wrong - I still kinda like this place. If only for their large Biergarten (which can be packed during sunny periods) and their unique atmosphere inside. So back to the burgers - I can't get rid of the impression that they've streamlined and downsized their food (in size and quality) to increase profitability and maximize profits - resulting in decreased quality. This is always a bad sign and prelude to 'I won't frequent this place anymore'. Same with the starter platter - onion rings, jalapeno poppers, chicken nuggets, tortilla chips - none of it seems home made. It's all frozen food, pretty bland, fried and served on a platter with a generic dip. Oh, that's so 90s. If you're looking for a more unique starter, try the pretty decent tortilla chicken BBQ bowl. The service: Is usually swift and friendly, however nothing that would set this place apart. The verdict / TL;DR: You can still enjoy a nice bottle of beer (they serve Miller - I guess it's what they consider American beer), or Snapple. All in a relaxed atmosphere and unique setting. If you're a biker, you'll meet lots of like minded people. Mind the evening rush though, this place gets packed. Food wise: I cannot recommend the burgers anymore, at least not if you're looking for quality food at a fair price. In that case: Don't put up with a nothingburger and head to one of the fine burger locations in nearby Düsseldorf.

FOOD & DRINKS I simply love burgers with bacon and a sunny…read moreside up egg. Changing things up a bit to my taste wasn't an issue at all. They also have a good selection of vegetarian and vegan options which also covers their selection of milkshakes! It is always sad if you go to a burger place and your vegetarian friend only has one option while your vegan friends can't even enjoy the milkshake variations. They didn't ask how I want my burger so I had to trust the cook that it it will be served just how I like it and yes it did. It was still juicy and lightly pink in the middle. Not raw. The veggies and the patty tasted fresh. The bun was alright. The sunny side up egg almost perfect. The bacon could be crispier. Maybe a sprinkle of salt and white pepper would have bring out more flavor but I really can't complain. I also like to mention that the presentation of the burger was done with finesse. Especially if you consider I ordered with no sides. Kudos to the chef. SERVICE I rarely have been to a restaurant with that level of friendliness. Everyone is just very nice. I dig it. ATMOSPHERE Young and fresh just like their burgers. Well the burgers are a bit boring when compared to the interior of the restaurant. The restaurant is even split into two rooms with different designs. Very cool. RATING I have been here three times before. This time I wanted to take pictures and do a review. I never expected them to be so consistent. Especially when it comes to the service and quality. Even though the burger could be more exciting I rather want quality than a bad executed exotic burger just for the sake of being special.

American food is what you will find here so I wanted to get a burger and see how it compares to the others I have had here in Cologne. With purchase of a burger you get fries and "salad". The fries are alright kinda small with no so many of them. They did have good kinds of ketchup like pepper ketchup and jalapeño ketchup. Also good hot sauces like chipotle, jalapeño and habanero. The salad is literally a piece of lettuce, a tomato, onion and two pickles but they are for your burgers not a real salad. You also get 4 pieces of bread with a good garlic sauce and like 10 olives which was nice. I ordered the Country Burger which is a basic burger with bacon, Canadian bacon and a sunny side up egg. I thought this sounded really good but also the other burger choices were a little boring typical American burgers. The Country Burger was good but quite greasy. The Canadian bacon was no good at all so I didn't eat it. But the burger had good taste but it was missing something. All that for 11.50€

It was fine though as they have these 2 heating lamp strategically placed to warm the area, plus, they do offer blankie to the guests. There are TVs both inside the restaurant & the smoking area. The menu gives a good selection of American dishes. I ordered the ribs-chicken wings plate & was totally shock when my order arrives. The ribs was a good portion but the chicken wings were all too small (12 pieces as also written on the menu). The taste was just okey. The barbeque sauce saved the dish, but for people who do not like the said sauce -- do NOT order this & this is not for you. My husband ordered a burger for himself, but he was left disappointed. The portion is okey but there is nothing special about the taste. Sadly, he felt he can do a better burger at home. For their pricey menu, we expected more. The service was just okey until we wanted to pay the bill. The waitress totally forgot us! As we waited, we recognize the family table sitting next to us already finish their meal when one of the order finally arrived (it was a burger). The family by this time refuse it. Sorry, but for someone just visiting the city, we do not see ourselves coming back to this restaurant in the near future.
