I tried the bbq western burger and fig goat cheese burger (both around 7.50 EUR). Both were alright, though I think the beef patties were overcooked. Also ordered some juice, but at 4.50 a pop for not-fresh pressed juice, I don't think they're really worth it. The best part about it is the location. They have so much outdoor seating right across from the Medienhafen, so it's a tempting place to soak up sunny days.

I can't understand how they can call themselves a burgerbar when there is no love for the food. The slice of raw red onion was thicker than the meat itself same goes for the tomatoes. So you end up thinking you have a sandwich with onion and tomato instead of a burger. The meat and the bun are also very dry. There was no allergy information at the salad on the menu and it was ok when asking. so when it turned out when they served the salad and i saw something which i am highly allergic to and said something about it the other waiter went angry that i had to check the menu before ordering something which was incredibly rude. In the end you can go for the loud music or the looks but you can get better food and service at mcdonalds then this place...

This is a good spot if you're looking for a late Sunday night dinner. Our waitress was super…read morefriendly and helpful with our orders. You can ask for an English menu if needed. I appreciate the option to order a pound of fries (mixed), which I think was the first time I've seen something like this in Europe. Plus, you have four different sauces to use, including a unique orange (?) mustard. However, the deduction is due to the quality of my chicken burger. It was hard to eat the burger mainly because the bottom side of the chicken was overcooked/dry, so it was hard to cut and chew. If fried properly, it should be juicy and tender. I tried some of my friend's beef burger and it was good, so you may have a similar experience only if you get their chicken burger.

Kinda disappointed of the burgers for their price. The buns…read morewere nothing special, the meat was a little overcooked. Though the staff didn't ask us our preference.

You will find all the Americana you want, but I was more focused in finding something in the menu that was not a giant burger. I choose the fish salad and seemed to be the German version of the fish and chips. I love the fried here, especially the rustic style. Maybe they grow them in the huge field outside? For the locals, seems to be pretty popular among the biker community. I would have not known or gone to this area unless was work related, so it was ok for me.

The setting: Located in a bucolic area, surrounded by farms…read moreand orchards, this place used to be a barn, but has been renovated years ago, to make it look like a road stop - hence its name. The inside: Rustic, quaint and all dark timber. Complete with US memorabilia and old signs, vintage license plates, old school fluorescent beer signs and advertising and an old gas pump. The food: Used to be better. Back in the days when this was one of the only burger places in town. Or, quite possibly I've just outgrown the frozen standard patty and am expecting a little bit more for a burger that sets you back between €8-12. To give you an example: They serve these standard sesame buns that you can get in bulk at discount retailers. My dad ordered their Sea Burger (or whatever it was called) and it was fish in a batter, a sad tomato, some lettuce and no sauce or extra seasoning. Yeah. Call that a dry burger - it was completely lacking any originality or love. I had their signature Road Stop Burger and they used to be more generous with the baked beans if I remember correctly. The patty must have shrunk over the years and it seemed lost in an oversized bun - the last remnant and witness of a better, more plentiful past. In general this burger gave the impression that it's lacking something - probably more generous toppings and some fresh, ground beef. And if that's too much to ask for - at least fix the toppings. So ... nothing that knocks your socks off. Don't get me wrong - I still kinda like this place. If only for their large Biergarten (which can be packed during sunny periods) and their unique atmosphere inside. So back to the burgers - I can't get rid of the impression that they've streamlined and downsized their food (in size and quality) to increase profitability and maximize profits - resulting in decreased quality. This is always a bad sign and prelude to 'I won't frequent this place anymore'. Same with the starter platter - onion rings, jalapeno poppers, chicken nuggets, tortilla chips - none of it seems home made. It's all frozen food, pretty bland, fried and served on a platter with a generic dip. Oh, that's so 90s. If you're looking for a more unique starter, try the pretty decent tortilla chicken BBQ bowl. The service: Is usually swift and friendly, however nothing that would set this place apart. The verdict / TL;DR: You can still enjoy a nice bottle of beer (they serve Miller - I guess it's what they consider American beer), or Snapple. All in a relaxed atmosphere and unique setting. If you're a biker, you'll meet lots of like minded people. Mind the evening rush though, this place gets packed. Food wise: I cannot recommend the burgers anymore, at least not if you're looking for quality food at a fair price. In that case: Don't put up with a nothingburger and head to one of the fine burger locations in nearby Düsseldorf.

Buttershaker is an average American bar and restaurant. I stopped in while I was waiting in…read moreDusseldorf 3 hours for a bus. The staff were very nice and we found a place to sit as soon as we walked in. I ordered the US bacon cheeseburger and a pilsner. Our food came out incredibly quickly, in under 10 minutes. The burger was completely average, when the server took my order I wasn't asked how I like my burgers cooked. It was way too well done for me and there was no pink at all. The burger was also very dry and seemed to have lost a lot of flavor. The bun was very mushy and would have been a lot better toasted. In addition, the lettuce on the burger wasn't rotten but was on the older side. It was a decent place to rest on a trip while having nothing to do, but I wouldn't eat at Buttershaker unless I was in the same situation again. I definitely would not recommend the burgers, and my friend did have a salad that she enjoyed.
