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.

I liked the small menu, what makes it easy to find the proper item. Actually it is just burgers, Fries, hotdogs and sandwiches. Everything is made to order, so take some time. I had a bacon burger with everything on the patty. Tasted good. The milkshake that I ordered too, was awesome. So...highly recommended.

2 1/2 stars. I love five guys. We visit it regularly when we're in the states, so when we found out…read morein was coming to Germany we were pretty excited. We went in it's second week open. It was extremely busy. I got the standard double, my husband got a double double (4 patties) and we shared a Cajun fry and a Hot Dog.(all toppings are always free) The burgers were alright. They were not hot or warm like I like a fresh hot burger to be. They weren't juicy either. The Cajun fries we couldn't even really eat because they tasted like they poured the whole jar of Cajun seasoning on top. And it's definitely much more expensive than in the US. So I was a little disappointed that we didn't get what we paid for. The kitchen staff seemed under trained and kept bumping into each other at every turn while holding patties. Not a fan of watching someone yelling while they're running around with my burger on a spatula. Then again, all of these could be blamed on grand opening stress. We are going to give them one more chance once things simmer down a bit.

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.
