As an American I say, this is the by far most American place in Lübeck. Great burgers. you do not…read moreget it better in Germany. Also, the cocktail were very good. the atmosphere is quite original causal American bar atmosphere. a sure repeat.

If I lived nearby I would be a regular! The food is delicious! They really got the concept of an…read moreAmerican burger. The potato wedges are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as they should be. The fries are great. I'd give the onion rings a miss. They're mediocre and pricey. They have a great kids' burger menu. The interior is inspired and does have that USA 1950's dinner feel. I love the original gumball machines. The "street" running through the place is imaginative. Too bad the service was cold and indifferent. Really, you can't pull off an American ambiance without cracking a smile. Nonetheless, the food and decor are so good I'll give them 5 stars, think 4 1/2 due to the neither warm nor particularly friendly, not unfriendly, mind you, just not friendly either, service. I'd love to come back and give their jalapeño poppers a try and maybe the chicken wings. Too bad they don't have the traditional blue cheese sauce. But they do have authentic American ketchup.

The service was not good. We waited for a long time to order, and they weren't busy.. The food was…read moreok, but not a place we would eat again.

They nailed the ambience of the American diner, kinda cute!…read more Unfortunate, they didn't actually gun for rhe 'best burger' they claim, they just fo pretty average, affordable, hot and fried fast food. Do avoid their "curry", that is a 1980s Western idea of a canteen Indian curry...

Liron invited me to try this place for a little reminder of home. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger…read morewith the curly fries. They've got another for curly fries. Twisters, I think. The fries were really good, the burger was a little heavy on the toppings and sauce (not unusual for Germany, I've found). It wasn't bad though, I just prefer my burgers with less ketchup and stuff. The lemonade was also good, a nice suggestion from Liron. Don't forget to ask for it with regular water, not sparkling (unless you like sparkling lemonade). Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention that our waiter was super cute and nice, even though we confused him a little bit with our indecisive switching between English and German

There are some real good burger places around town, but the Hollywood Canteen is definitely the…read morebest place on the right side of the Alster. Pretty packed during lunch time...but i always got a table and none-hectic-friendly service. Burgers are the bomb...imagine the strangest combination and you'll probably find it on the menu (Banana-peanutbutter-beef-burger etc...) Even though the fries are not the best in town...the milkshakes make it worthwhile. And because the prices are more than fair, overall 5 stars!

The food was hot and even the fries were crispy. The burger was tasty and had fresh ingredients. The last time I ordered there, I had a burger that is not going to be my favorite, but thats because I like my burgers simple and just with cheese and vegetables. I would say it's a solid burger, but you just can't compare it to really good burger like at In-n-out. The diner itself is held in a 60's style, red furniture and chrome. It's a nice place to get a bite to eat.

I hope to try more food from this city along the Baltic Sea but for now it is a 4-star meal to me!…read more It was tougher to find English reviews and recommendations for Rostock than Berlin or Hamburg but I saw multiple recommendations online for Zur Kogge. I was worried that the tourist attraction would lack gastronomically. Thankfully, I was wrong. I arrived to find a large tour group dining and only one free table left. Throughout my meal, I witnessed many diners turned away because they were booked up (this was on a Monday night), so make sure to come early or make a reservation. If you want the best view of the nautical decor, reserve a table on the upper level. My drink and food orders were taken promptly even though they were BUSY. I ordered the Rostocker Export draught to start. It was a great pour and went perfectly with my food. I ordered the pumpkin ginger soup and I sat there for 10-15 minutes with my taste buds blown. It was served hot, with dark bread croutons and pumpkin oil. It was smooth but thick and warmed my entire body. I ordered the sauteed herring with potatoes and green beans (Frisch gebratene Ostseeheringe mit deftigen grünen Speckbohnen und Bratkartoffeln) as my entree. I hadn't had a fish with bone-in in a long time, so eating it was a bit of a challenge for me. The flavors were great but the dish overall was a tad heavy. Both the potatoes and green beans are sauteed in bacon grease. I left feeling content and fit in a nice 15-minute walk before getting on the bus back to Berlin. I will definitely bring friends along next time.

Love this place and that was why for my graduation dinner I took my parents (who came all the way…read morefrom Canada) to eat here! Wow were we happy with amount that was served!!! Don't let the name stop you from coming in -- here not only is fish served but also steak, vegetarian and basically typical North (Rostock) fisherman food. I ordered the Schollen -- it came with a nice fish plate and a generous amount of salad, sauce and either rice or french fries or croquettes (fried potatoes thingy) Try and get a table upstairs- cause there are plenty of old antiques hanging from the wall and nice huge blowfish also. The staff are friendly and perhaps you can also get the Platt-Deutsch menu and learn some words also! All in all, a nice restaurant, centrally located -- across from the harbour so you can also go for a walk after or before or what the heck go into the city for some shopping!
