Small but very effective & efficient…read more You select what you'd like from a solid selection & then cook them at your table similar to a Korean BBQ set-up. They're not stingy with the food availability & have seafood, chicken, beef, pork & lamb. All great eating & easy for the restaurant goer to make ready & eat hot & delicious! This is a definite "recommend" from me.

Came in for a solo dinner while traveling for business. There were no reserved tables and I was…read moreinstructed to sit anywhere I liked. The menu descriptions are in German, but the dish names were all English, I didn't ask if they had an English menu because I didn't need it. I opted for a beer, water, and pick-two BBQ... ribs, wings, and fries all sounded good and that one hits them all. The waitress asked if I wanted mayonnaise which gave me the opportunity to decline and ask for ketchup. I'm not exactly sure which stout I got, but it was smooth. The food came out shortly and was a generous portion and they put the whole bottle of ketchup on the table for my fries! Crispy chicken wings were the whole wing like you'd get in fried chicken but simply fried (no breading, no sauce, no seasoning- crispy skin). Ribs were tender enough, crispy on the outside with some sauce squeezed ontop. The fries are thick cut and were the star of the dish. Overall there's nothing wrong with the food or service and it satisfies the craving for this type of food. But, it's no replacement for barbecue from the bayou in the US.

I've stopped here in the afternoon a few times with friends to grab a drink. It was pretty slow the…read morefew times we went, but then again most bars are slow in the middle of the day. The list of beers included stouts from New Orleans, which my friend was brave enough to try. Unless you are an experienced beer drinker, I would recommend sticking to the local brews like Herforder Pils because the stout has a very unique and probably acquired taste. The New Orleans decor inside the bar/restaurant is pretty cool too.

Of course the owners are almost certainly coming from a place of genuine respect and appreciation for Old South culture, and Germans aren't as sensitive as Americans are regarding racial issues, but it's certainly cringey at times.

Date Visited: 25/9/2018 Drink Consumption: 7 Fruh Kolsch, 2…read moreMexicana Shots, and 1 Flimm liqueur Shot and 3 waters Food Consumption: 2 Hot Dogs (one with Cheddar Cheese & Spicy Relish and one with Mustard, Ketchup, and Jalapenos), many handfuls of bar pretzels and peanuts, and more than 25 chewy candies. Number of Skeeball Games Played: 74 games (at least) - it was a free play Tuesday night Other games played: Pinball, Duck Hunt, Schock, Shut the Box, Pop Up Pirate, Darts, and only saw the fooseball. Crowd: mixture of students, professionals, and Cologne Football club fans (they won that evening so drinking was in order) The bartender Melanie was working this night and she was very friendly. I never had an empty Kolsch and she also brought me waters when needed. The bar was quite busy this night because there was a small Skeeball tournament for the free Tuesday night Skeeball. There were statistics for the Skee-ball league on the wall and invitations to join the league. They even have a Skeeball 101 poster from a 3-time (American) national champion. This is a proper vintage arcade bar with an emphasis on interactive mechanical games (ie Pinball and Skeeball). I had a chance to meet the owner of the bar, Marcus, and he was so nice, he even shared his story about opening the bar after he saw Skeeball was so popular in the United States. I would definitely come here for league nights, game nights, and corporate or private parties. Highly recommend!

Great atmosphere and lots of games to play, but cocktails are a little pricey. Fun place to start…read morethe night.
