If you're looking for a low quality döner dive, keep walking…read more This place offers good quality: everything is homemade, even the sauces. A sandwich with same day baked bread is standard here. Try the eggplant with ground beef with a side of rice if you're looking for more than a sandwich. We love Jimmy, his dad and the rest of the crew. Such friendly service and quality food 24 hours a day. All this and at a fair price (sandwiches are about €4).

Not so great Döner. Once the sauce tasted old that I had return the Döner. Their bakery is…read moreinteresting to look at but not so great once you try it. They have other snacks and fast food too, Bulgare if below average quality. There are much more better shops just nearby in venloer str.

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.
