The atmosphere is very nice, there are seats, but you can also eat standing up in front of the restaurant. The prices are fair, not low, but fair since the quality of the meat is amazing! I would definitely recommend anyone to go here when looking for a nice American-like burger! Only critique: it can take some time until you get your food, which personally bothers me somewhatN

I am more the Sushi Type but with all the burger shops popping up in Cologne and Bonn I decided to…read moretry one finally and began at the top of the list. I was at Freddy Shilling for lunch and had a Big Kahuna with French Fries. It was a tip from a fellow yelper. The taste was alright. I liked the combination of sweet sour and spicy. Bread bun was too soft. I wouldn't say it's the best burger ever. Service was very attentive although it is a self service place. It's more of a lunch place. You should be early if you do not want to wait. But you could also order it beforehand via phone call. If you are in business outfit you should eat outside or have take away. Because bbqueing is done in front of you the room is quite smelly. I would definitely return to this place and have a go at one of the veggie burgers!

If you stop by the address for Beef Brothers listed by Google and you see a burger joint with a…read moredifferent name, don't be alarmed. You're in the right spot. Not sure why thing are set up this away, but alas, what's important is that at the end of the day, you'll have a great meal. Ambiance (3/5): Beef Brothers has a small interior with a few tables and no A/C. The place to be is on the patio in front of the restaurant. Al fresco dining is the way to go in Europe. The restaurant is on a busy street with lots of others restaurants, bars, and shops in the vicinity. Service (4/5): We stopped by on a Friday for dinner. You order at the counter and they will bring your food out to you. As a fast casual restaurant, service isn't a big part of the experience. With that being said, the guy working the cash register was friendly and took our order without any hiccups. Drinks (3.5/5): Bottled soft drinks and beers are what's offered here. Including some craft brews. Since we were having drinks after, we stuck with alcoholic beverages. I had an iced tea. Food (4.5/5): To my surprise, Germany has a big burger culture. While I was skeptical as I'm an American and I know we do burgers right, I was most definitely proved wrong. Beef Brothers has a creative menu of burgers. You'll see a Mexican burger with guacamole, you'll find an American burger with BBQ sauce and onion rings, and more. My burger was cooked just right and oozing with flavor. The veggies were fresh. The bun was fresh and lightly toasted. All in all, a great burger. To further add to the fun, Beef Brothers has loaded fries. I'm a sucker for loaded fries, so I couldn't say no. My fries had melted cheese and bacon bits on them. The fries delivered too. If you're not looking for something quite as filling, they have regular fries too. We were looking for an affordable meal that would give us a nice base layer for a night out drinking. Beef Brothers accomplished that with flying colors. If you're looking for a solid burger in Cologne, this is a great spot to check out.

And I have to say that usually that's the way to go, and I won't even try you to convince to change your place. However the next time when you are in rush, or after a long party night on the Zülpicher, or just want to grab a really tasty dönner, consider Ottoman's. Good looking, and with a face that should easily compete with big chains like McD and Burger King, Ottoman's has one of the best dönners in Cologne. The price is 4€ and you have 2 choices of meet. Nothing special thill this point. The difference, however, is made by the quality and freshness of the ingredients and the size of the meal you get for the same amount of money as at the most places. The option to take a whole meal is a big + and on the budget. The nice, clean and friendly lobby and the possibility to use the toilets is an other big +. My advice, give it a try, and convince yourself. P.S. The dönner form Ottoman's is in my opinion the second best I ever tried, after the one from Düsseldorf!

The whole concept is great, the service is pretty good, the small but well thought selection of burgers, the decoration, i mean everything is fantastic. And don't even get my started with the Guacamole, it was amazing. Like any good restaurant, they are cash-less friendly. The have chilled Coronas, and they ask if with or without lime, kind of nice, over here you normally just get it with, and if not a fan kind of not cool. The music is great, the lighting is really pleasant, not too bright that you think your in a vitrine, nor too dark to see what you're eating. Nice rock music selection, not as loud as in HRC where it's almost impossible to hold a normal conversation. Definitely coming back and recommending it to my friends, the location is just unbeatable.

We placed a wrong order due to some confusion but they changed our burger after it arrived, which is not so common here in Germany. House made ice tea was surprisingly "not supermarket" like which is always good. Burgers are crispy and tasty meat. Sitting area is comfortable with cushioned seats so that's a plus. I would say it's a good place to hangout with your friends.

My friend and I had made reservations for 8:15, yet when we walked in, a waitress greeted us and said we could sit where ever. She was so kind. We sat in the back at a four top and started glancing over the menu. While it was all in German, most of it I could understand and if not, GoogleTranslate was more than happy to understand for me. They gave us English menus as well, but I was too stubborn to accept. The waitress was adorable and spoke near perfect English. We ordered burgers with fries and Hard Cider. I also had a Caesar salad to start. Everything was delicious... like mouth watering delicious. We saved half of the burger to take home and I am eating it right now. We ended the night with the Cheesecake while the nicest man took our burgers away to be put into doggy bags. Between the attentive service, 90s music atmosphere, and the food this is my favorite spot in Koln. I wish I was staying longer to eat there again!!!

'Fette Kuh' or the fat cow, in translation is a really popular and widely known burger place in…read moreCologne. I have heard a lot about it, but never quite decided myself to visit it. Till recently. With a group of 3 friends went there to try the so preached burgers. And OH MY GOD, it is worth it! But till you actually get to taste them, you will struggle with a lot of other things. For example the queue is huge. Like doesn't even matter if you go on weekends or trough the week, early or late, there will definitely be a queue. Then, after you order, the wait begins. take time with you. 20 minutes are easily in. So no you are bored, hungry and tired of the small talk people try to kill the time with... Suddenly your name is called. You get the burgers, but surprise. If you made the mistake to eat in, it will be impossible for you to actually find a table or place to sit. But if all this suffering is over, OMG you can get fett. The first bite, and you will realise why this place so popular is. The burgers are just amazing, to be honest I will go as far as saying the best I have ever tried. Meat prepared by own recipe, fresh veggies, and own sauces.... Your mouth will just explode from the mixture of fett and taste. So if you are in Cologne, and consider having a burger, don't consider any other places. This is the one to go to, even if it's not quite central, or easy to get to.

It's quite shocking for me to read such good reviews from americans about this place…read more I was here for the first time, and i was truly disappointed. I had a BBQ Bacon Burger, it was good, but nothing from other world. The paddy was big, 200 grs, cooked to the exact point, bacon crispy and tasted great, the BBQ was just regular bottle sauce from the Supermarket :/ the bun well, not the regular kind, but also nothing fancy, i found the patty a bit flavorless. The fries? Don't get me started! The waiting time was like quite a lot, but i'm not someone that complains about that, and i understand, because there is a lot going on here! But after the wait was over and my name was shouted, i got my burger, but no fries, but the guy behind the counter managed that pretty well, he apologized for it and told me i was going to get a big bowl, even though i ordered a small portion, and i also got 2 different sauces when i just ordered ketchup, KUDOS! The sauces overall were bad, flavorless. The Burger looked really great, i just don't know where the taste went, seriously! The service is... well... there? People are friendly, they are like really really under pressure, there are a lot of people coming and going. Like really a LOT of people. I've always heard pretty much only good things about this place and maybe i expected too much, but for me, it was truly just another burger joint with regular burgers. That's what really shocks me the most about the reviews from fellow american yelpers.

Lucky me for ordering extra jalapeños which provided at least some flavor. The few fries coming with the 10€ menu were ok.
