'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.

This is my favorite place for lunch in Cologne. Yes, the place is a little cramped and you may have…read moreto wait a bit for a place to sit, but I swear it's worth it once you taste their food. Their 'apewiches' are, hands down, the most flavorful sandwiches I have ever had in Germany (making me miss my favorite sandwich shop in the US). The 'salapes' are just as tasty and a really great value. You get to choose the combination of ingredients you'd like and can pretty much create a new salad every time you visit! I highly recommend the chicken sandwich, or whatever they have as a special. Or anything else. It's all delicious ;) It's a good thing I'm not on Ehrenstr that often, because I seriously cannot walk past Bad Ape without stopping by!

I really wanted something warm and this salad still had warm components that left me feeling better about my dinner choice as well as satisfied my need for a warm meal on a cold night. I realized that I could have also doubled the protein, so I will do that the next time!

Great atmosphere. The reason for 4 stars is that on the second bite of my burger it fell apart, so I had to eat it with a fork and knife. I'm in Cologne for a few more days and will probably be back before I leave.
