The way this place imitates McDonald's in terms of looks, boggles the mind. The "MrCafe" (not to be…read moreconfused with McDonald's "McCafe") stand is the icing on the cake. I just wonder why they do that. The food they hand out is a lot better than what you can get at McDonald's so there is little need to look like one. It feels like they are selling themselves short, not building their own brand, not having their own style. That said, it is Fast food too. This is not an "artisanal Burger Joint" or stuff like but. But they show that you can take the fast-food concept and make it better than the Big Names.

Best place for a cheap and delicious chicken döner. It only costs 3,50€. The service is super fast…read more Don't expect glamour but it will hit the spot! I recommend all locations. The baked potato is good as well. It's my favorite place for a quick meal!

This take out is run by a Chinese couple who have been in the restaurant business for some time…read morenow. The location is opposite to the Steeler Wasserturm. It is not very convenient because parking can be difficult. Apart from take out they also have a few tables to dine in. While you can order your typical German Chinese food they also have a menu with authentic Chinese dishes. Unfortunately this menu is in Chinese language only so you have to ask if you want to order those. Quality is very good and it is the closest it can get to real Chinese food in this area. I was a little disappointed by their Loempia which was a little soggy and not crispy enough. And the ventilation is really bad, be prepared for that! Really inexpensive, good value for money!

I ate several times at the Essen restaurant on Lindanallee right downtown, near the train station…read more Its a slightly upscale place, with glass mugs for pop/soda, nicer looking tables and chairs and a "Happy" feeling environment. The burgers and fries are good, they have a variety of options and you can add fries and a drink as a combo. They have a vegetarian option as well. Its counter order and sit down, so fast food style, with better quality food. The Classic combo meal I had was around 13 Euros. There is a chicken sandwich as well but the food is limited to sandwiches. Overall worth a try.

Pictures on the menu make it look HUGE; but it isn't . Enough to fill you up though. The variety of ketchup flavors was an added bonus, with the very spicy Schon Scharf BBQ style being my favorite.
