We were visiting Cologne and wanted an authentic German, beerhaus meal. We had a group of 8, they…read moretake reservations and I highly recommend you reserve as soon as you can. We were seated immediately and every staff member we passed by was so kind and warm to our group. We all ordered Kölsch as well as the feast meal, spätzle, pork schnitzel, sausage, and sauerkraut. The feast meal easily fed 4 people and this was the best item we ordered hands down. The ambiance was so lively and everyone in the restaurant was so joyful to be there. This was the best restaurant we ate at on our trip. I can't recommend this place enough!

We decided to sit outside, but because it started to drizzle, we went inside. We paid for our drinks outside and brought them in with us. The waiter was not friendly. Asked if we had paid for our drinks, I said we paid outside. I'm not sure if he believed me. When he finally came to take our drinks outside order, he seemed irritated with us. We got our drinks and order our meals. Our meals arrived very quickly and everything was wonderful. However, upon closing our bill, the waiter got very angry with me saying something about good service and no tip. We are literally in Germany where you don't tip. It's a cool place to see, but I'm not sure I would go back.

Not really spicy, but super flavourful and the potatoes were great with it.

Love the ambience though, so I'd just head back and be prepared to wait.

The main course Sauerbraten much of the same with beautiful and delicious Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, Spaetzle, Laberkason, Red Cabbage, and Cheesecake for desert. Service was outstanding and on spot.

I got the best and first schnitzel of my life and I'm not being dramatic when I say it was a complete game changer. Crispy as you like with that creamy peppercorn gravy poured over top. I had a side of chips that soaked it up perfectly. Could have shed a tear right there at the table. Washed it down with five Kölsch on the spot. Ended up drinking about thirty throughout the day while walking around the city like a legend. Started early and never let off the gas. This meal brought me back to life. I went full animal mode until 3 in the morning and honestly I blame the schnitzel. Right place. Right time. Right pint. Quality food. Prime location. Germany, you've set the bar.

The amount of customers they have to deal with alone gets them another star in my book. The place is complete chaos! The servers remain positive though and do their best to keep up with the endless onslaught of tourists. All that being said, we did really enjoy our meal. We split the Grillhaxe dish, because it days right on the menu that it's over a kilo in weight! We had plenty of food, even left some were just couldn't finish. Great value for money! The Kolsch style beer is their own brewery and was very tasty. The potatoes were on point, the pork knuckle was fire, you can't really go wrong. €27.50 for dinner for two isn't bad at all! The servers were so kind and efficient, all the way up to the point that I made eye contact with the floor supervisor. She came over to see if I needed something and all I said was, "you guys are doing a great job dealing with all this!" She lit up after that! It just goes to show how far a little kindness can go in our world. She even told the servers what I had said and a couple of them came over and thanked me for noticing their work.

The large restaurant can easily accommodate many patrons. Large roomy tables are perfect for those who don't want to feel claustrophobic. The menu is vast and in English (Angels singing). Best of all.. They had fois gras with a side scoop of sorbet... Strange but it worked! And the not so great.... The wait for the menu was 10 min. The wait to order was 15. The whole ordeal took over 2 hours. This was a bit long when you've got two young kids dining with you. The worst part? They charge 9€ for a bottle of Evian water. A bit steep in my opinion. They also have breakfast buffet here in the morning. Not the best but not so bad either. There are a variety of cheeses,breads, and meats. There's an omelette station, too. Monday guy was great but Sunday guy was a joke. I asked for an omelette...and then I returned a few minutes later... Had to repeat what I wanted and he said 10 min. 10 min later he said "10 minutes.
