We sat at a small table, it did feel like we were in an area primarily for tourists, but we are so it was fine. I had three small beers which were great, very refreshing. We also enjoyed a nice lunch, my sausage was good but the potatoes and cabbage were really the star of the show. So yummy! We did not get the local beer treatment here where they replace your beer when it's half empty, which was probably a good thing. I could have drank it all day.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 8 Overall: 8 After reading all the reviews, I had to come here and try this place out. On a Monday around lunch, the backyard was about one third full when we showed up. Everyone looked like they were enjoying their food and drinking Kölsch. Everyone talks about the pork chop, so I had to order it and give my own opinion. This was a solid pork chop and the onions certainly enhanced the dish. Unfortunately, my piece came lukewarm at best and definitely not as juicy as if it would have been right out of the oven. The version I had was good, but not worthy of all the accolades. Other than that, we tried Metthappen (raw pork tartare), which was somewhat bland and mushy. Had to add a lot of salt and pepper for more flavor. With that said, the liverwurst and blood sausage were both excellent. In the end, I did not love the bread, but the pickle was great. Service with a smile, the servers were very kind and patient. They will gladly let you take your time to order while they fill your next glass of Kölsch. If you want them to stop, many people have mentioned, just put your coaster on top of your glass.

***5 STAR MUST GO***…read more I've eaten at this restaurant dozens of times, and I've had almost everything on the menu. It never fails to exceed my expectations. I have no clue how the chef and her sister accommodate 60+ guests from such a small kitchen and send out plates of amazing food night after night. This place is amazing, and feels like you're eating in grandma's kitchen. Seating inside and outside, right in the heart of Köln, this is a very cool place.

The meals were flavorful and loaded with veggies and came with a side of rice. There were 2 drawbacks, which we can't hold the restaurant for it. (1) they ran out of fried chicken and (2) super loud patrons made it pretty unbearable to stay longer after we ate. But overall a young and hip place. I plan to come back during my next trips.

I went back to Tokyo, and check Meister Bock on internet. Wow, I was surprised. This German local food restaurant is very popular in Germany. Several sausages are roughly divided into two types; curry wurst and Mettwurst. I ordered Mettwurst. In Germany when we ordered sausage and then it includes a piece of bread. I didn't know that.:). So l felt cheaper at the time. You can eat foods you order inside restaurant as standing. There is small space you can eat them in this restaurant. I ate sausages at the space as standing.
