    Triple Cheese Burger
    Mitchell R.

    Finally made it here and it was nice because the line wasn't out the door this time! But my quest for the best burger place continues and it was time to try the Notorious Die fette Kuh. The interior of this place I didn't really care for at all. It's really small and you feel like you have no privacy. The chairs are so close together it's like eating on a flight how tight it is. Then you are probably sitting next or a crossed from a stranger which was also not so good. The real reason why I came here was to try their famous burgers. I ordered the triple cheese burger and my friend ordered the Teriyaki burger and we split them and had an order of large fries with curry mayo and tomato herb sauce. The triple cheese burger to be honest was a let down. Not a lot of flavor and overall kinda boring. I'd say 3 stars. The Teriyaki burger on the other hand was really good with a lot of flavor and it was something different which I really enjoyed 4.5 stars. The fries were cooked perfectly for me. Golden brown with a good crunch in them and the sauces were both great compliments to the fries. They have other burgers which I wish to try so going back here is going to happen. I enjoyed my experience but to be honest was a little disappointed but I am hopeful my next experience will be better.

    Besides the awkward seating arrangement, the food was delicious. I ordered the chillicheese burger with medium spice which was perfect. The fries come with choice of two sauces, which lets you mix things up a bit

    That's one tasty burger

    I've been here twice now and the Burgers both times have been really good. The meat tastes like it should, juicy, cooked medium rare and well spiced. They have a range of burgers to choose from but I'm a fan of the classic cheeseburger. The one time I went during during the week and we were lucky enough to get a table pretty easily. The wait is not to long but you have to keep an ear out as they will just call out your name. The other time I was here it was packed and the wait was way too long. Overall the burgers are the bomb and I'd definitely go back, but definitely during the quieter times.

    Chili burger with garlic fries (basically fries with topped raw garlic cooked in oil and parsley)

    After all the hype about this place, we finally made a visit as soon as they opened on a Sunday. We were the first to arrive and the place was packed in 20 minutes. Burger is delicious but not the best I have had in Cologne (Burgerlich still my favorite). The meat and filling were the best part. However, the bun didn't do any justice. The fries didn't have enough salt and regardless of all the amazing sauces they offer, it doesn't make up for the sub par fries. People who worked there are nice but they were getting slammed by the orders and probably used to it. The tables get promptly cleaned to accommodate the long lines awaiting outside.

    The best burger in NRW, probably in Germany, hands down!

    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.

    Best burger I had in Cologne so far! I tried almost everything on the menu and they are all great!…read moreThe fries is also very good in every aspect. Highly recommended.

    The quest for the best burger restaurant in Germany continues. My next stop was Hans Im Glück…read more First off the interior and design of the restaurant is really nice but at times the music is too loud and makes it hard to understand what the people you are eating with are saying. The burger selection is a good one with many different choices that will leave any burger lover wishing they could try at least 5 of them. I focused on the special Christmas burgers because I can obviously only get them during Christmas. My choice was the Elsässer. It was more of a sweet and salty burger which I am starting to love more and more. It had Brie cheese, with a berry sauce. This was very good and a 5 star recommendation. The fries were ok but being able to have as much mayo, ketchup, barbecue, or honey mustard is great. My friend had the sweet potato fries and I would say pay the extra euro for these because they are much better. Since coming to Germany I have tried many burgers. Some sweet and some savory. But there are two burgers that have been standouts. One is the Geissbock from Hans Im Glück. This burger has just about everything I love in a burger, sweet with the fig sauce, savory with the bacon and just to crank it up a notch the goat cheese or ziegen kase it's called here. The Wild West Burger is what I think of a typical American Burger. The taste was good with the barbecue sauce and onions but it isn't very special to me. Probably a 4 star burger. Also they had a great deal which was a Burger, Fries, Beer, and Coffee for 13€ which I believe is really good here in Köln. My favorite Burger place in Köln.

    Perhaps I caught Hans on a bad night, because he seemed pretty unglücklich to me…read more I've heard great things about the place, and was looking forward to expanding my burger repertoire beyond Fette Kuh. When I arrived to meet our group, I was a bit stunned at how LOUD the place was, but, that's a given at most restaurants these days. The interior was a bit upscale/trendy, IMO, for a real burger joint, but I wasn't there for the ambiance... I was there for the beef. I bucked the typical burger options and - full of hope - went for a breadless burger, the Hoffnungsträger, which was advertised as a "juicy beef patty with argula, parmesan, and parmesan dressing". I split an order of fries with a friend. The plate presentation was good, and my mouth was watering... until I had the first bite of the burger. I hadn't been asked how I would like it cooked, but I hoped for something closer to medium well, so that I would be able to taste the real flavor of the meat. Instead, the patty was overcooked and completely dry. Fortunately, the burger patty was absolutely drenched in both the parmesan dressing and a mysterious orange-colored sauce that wasn't listed in the description, adding a bit of moisture. It was edible, but not enjoyable. I continued to hold out hope for the thick cut fries - which were obviously not homemade, but looked tasty nonetheless. The fries were cooked very well, crispy on the outside, nice and soft on the inside, but were over salted, so we didn't even finish the small order. I applaud HiG for their range of very inventive burger options - from beef to chicken to vegetarian... I just wished the food had tasted better.
