Cool hipster burger joint with friendly service and delicious food! The restaurant is relatively spacious for the location, and the waiters/waitresses were courteous, attentive, and totally fit the hipster-vibe. :) The place advertises itself as a New York-style place, but I have to say, it was much cleaner and a little more spacious than typical NYC burger places. :) The drink selection is good, with various craft beers, wines, cocktails, interesting juices, and specialty sodas (I recommend the spicy ginger).
We started off with an apple pie shot which was sweet and a nice starter to the meal. The chicken wing platter was delicious and offered various chicken wings- crunchy and spicy- with two kinds of homemade wing sauce that were out of this world. They also added celery and carrot sticks, which I haven't seen here in Germany but was a nice throwback to the States ;) Salad was fresh with homemade guacamole and ranch dressing, so I was actually pretty full by the time the main entrees came. There are a good number of creative burgers on the menu; I ordered the Big Rock, which was a burger with bacon and jalapeños. I loved that the jalapeños were fresh and not canned, and the portions were huge- so much meat! The chill cheese fries that we ordered with the burger were also extremely filling. Overall, the burger was decent, although the meat was a bit too salty and the texture slightly mealy. I would recommend the restaurant to work on the quality and taste of the burger, as this is the main selling point of the restaurant.
For dessert, we had the NY cheesecake which was AMAZING. I've been disappointed with the cheesecake I've tried in Europe, but this cheesecake was incredible- luscious and creamy with a buttery crust that rivals some of the best cheesecakes I've had in the U.S. I would seriously come here just for the cheesecake, that's how good it was.
One note- I heard that they have Happy Hour (6 wings for 2 Euros) every day from 5:00-7:00, which is also a huge plus!
Another bonus- free WiFi! :)
Although my particular burger wasn't 5-star quality, the rest of the food, service, and overall experience earned 5 stars in my book. I would definitely come here again. read more
