CHILLERS Essen in Essen

Unfortunately, we were freezing in the shop that evening. The food was good, but unfortunately the fried food was not crispy, but wobbly. The rest of the food was good though. Service was okay. The atmosphere and cleanliness were good.

The carefully prepared coffee specialties rounded off my afternoon perfectly. Each cup displayed a fine balance of flavors and warmth.

Went there without a reservation, were changed several times, but this resulted in a hit on the house. The burger was not good, frozen patty and the curly fries were not well fried. I was really disappointed because I really liked the California style.

We went there for lunch as a family. The portions were very good and really affordable for the price these days. We also found the ambience great, as well as the nice service.

In between there was a small selection of fresh and delicious snacks.

There were simple but tasty little things to satisfy your hunger. Everything was fresh and tasted good.

The lovingly arranged buffet offered me numerous warm and cold creations to choose from. The variety of dishes enabled individual enjoyment.

During my visit, I was able to experience the unmistakable flair of an authentic American restaurant in which tradition and modernity blend harmoniously. The creative menu selection made the experience special.

For me, the focus throughout the entire evening was on consistently good service, which always pleasantly surprised me. The attention and care in the service contributed to a relaxed experience.

The sweet potato fries are the best I've eaten so far. Burger was ok, but I wouldn't order it again. Patty was too thick for me and not as crispy as expected. Chicken sticks are really big and 6 pieces are totally sufficient. Homemade lemonade is very tasty😋. For larger groups I would recommend reserving a table (especially Friday/Saturday evening).

Nice diner with a good selection. Service friendly and attentive. Food very tasty. Good parking options all around.

Super friendly staff. Delicious food, large portions, great ambience, simply enjoyable evening.

Very tasty food, large portions and very nice employees

American diner. The service is very good, everything happened very quickly. The portions are large. A starter is more of a main course. Price-performance is good. Selection of burgers, wraps and chicken was good. The equipment is rather simple. But you can see into the kitchen.

Overall a very solid shop. The outside area is a bit dreary, but I've never had any complaints with the food or service. You should especially order the Mac and Cheese Cubes and the Soft Pretzel Bites.

Last Saturday we were there for American breakfast and I have to say, the toasts and pancakes were to die for! If you like American breakfast, you have to come here!

Am 23. Februar 2024 habe ich das CHILLERS Restaurant in Essen besucht und war von meinem Abendessen leider enttäuscht. Schon beim Platznehmen fiel auf, dass die Sitzbänke unbequem und schlecht gepolstert sind – für ein Restaurant ein absolutes No-Go. Das Essen hat meinen Eindruck leider nicht verbessert: Die Speisekarte wirkte einfallslos und stark auf frittierte Gerichte reduziert. Geschmacklich war das Gebotene bestenfalls mittelmäßig. Die Pommes waren nichts Besonderes, und die Chicken Wings erinnerten eher an Fast Food aus der Tiefkühltruhe. Besonders enttäuschend war die sogenannte scharfe Soße, die mehr nach billigem Tabasco-Ersatz schmeckte und keinerlei Eigenständigkeit bot. Insgesamt fehlt dem Restaurant sowohl kulinarisch als auch atmosphärisch der Anspruch, mit anderen Lokalen mitzuhalten. Für mich war es definitiv der erste und letzte Besuch.

The smoothie bowls are really something special here. They are not only visually appealing, but also super tasty. Great weekend breakfast!

Unfortunately I wasn't satisfied, the food wasn't at all fair to the price-performance ratio, I had the build your own burger and the mac & cheese balls, portions both too small/too expensive for the price. Unfortunately, the Mac & Cheese Balls didn't taste good at all, as did the waffle patties from the burger. Unfortunately, the waffles were totally oversweetened and really soaked in sugar, so they were not edible, especially in combination with the savory ones. I imagined these to be sweet but really not overly sweet. Unfortunately, when we ordered the food, we were made to wait a long time before our order was taken.

Delicious food, great service. A highlight of the city. Oh and there's happy hour every day!

The homemade lemonades and smoothies on Saturdays are so refreshing that I always wonder why I don't come here more often.

Fantastic atmosphere, great food. Always my pleasure.

Combined with one of the fresh smoothie bowls - that's the start to the weekend that everyone needs. Calling all breakfast lovers, give it a try!

Every time I open the door I feel like I'm in another world. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and always a quiet spot available.

I really enjoyed the weekend breakfast here. The waffles were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just as they should be.

The American flair is noticeable and tasteable. A real enrichment with authentic food and drinks that inspire me.

It's not just the menu that keeps me coming back here, but also the great and pleasant atmosphere. Great store!

Whether it's a birthday or a company party, every moment feels a little more special here. The combination of great food and inviting ambience makes every celebration unforgettable. We'll be back!

I like the details and the care with which everything was set up. Really extraordinary restaurant that is perfect for chilling out. Plus, the food is really delicious! Be sure to try the cocktails too!

Excellent food, top notch service, super friendly, We were super satisfied and would love to come back ❤️👩‍❤️‍👨❤️ ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Food OK. But not really a highlight. To be honest, with the chicken wings I missed the wings. There was only the lower part of the wing. The other dishes were also OK, but compared to other "American Diners" the food here can't keep up. But this is just my personal opinion Opinion. The ambience is great and so is our service that evening.

Yes, the Chillers is really nicely decorated, great atmosphere and good location. There were six of us, we had reserved and got a good table. You have to take a look, the windows were dirty and there were no more towels in the toilets. About the service: two for three tables, they smiled nicely but only asked us for new drinks when we called. But these came really quickly. About food: well, if I order crispy chicken pieces and they come out extremely dry and not crispy, then that's sad. Otherwise, burgers and fries okay, portion size quite large. Overall it was rather disappointing, especially the food. You can't get chicken from the microwave instead of the deep fryer.

Whether for a romantic evening or a fun gathering with friends – this address offers the perfect setting.

cozy benches, delicious diner food and good cocktails

Great location, great food. Real soul food. Both the sandwich and the burger were very tasty!

For me the best place for exotic drinks and relaxing hours. The quality and service are simply top!

Experience unique flavors and friendly service that make your visit an unforgettable experience.

The culinary offering exceeds all expectations! Fresh ingredients and creative dishes invite you to enjoy.

If you're looking for a cozy place with a huge selection of drinks, you've come to the right place. Absolutely recommended!

What a refreshing experience! The food is excellent, the service is quick and the staff is incredibly friendly.

I'm still thinking about the incredible pancakes I enjoyed last Saturday - fluffy, sweet and just perfect! Great American breakfast.

Basically always very solid and tasty! Unfortunately the chicken bites today were completely dry inside...what a shame. But service was good!

For us, Chillers is a must every time we are in Essen. There are incredibly delicious burgers here, as well as good vegetarian alternatives to the meat patties. Great ambience and friendly service. I would also like to mention the child-friendliness. There is an extra children's menu that can also be colored in.

The food and drink was delicious. The service was friendly and helpful

I've been there four times now and all I can say is that I'll always be happy to come back. Simply class...

Unfortunately I cannot agree with the many positive reviews. I've had a lot of Eggs Benedict, but this was definitely one of the worst. To my disappointment, the brioche bread was a dry slice of ready-made bread, the egg was overcooked and there was a dismal-looking slice of cheese on top of the whole thing. Sauces are not coordinated and the LAX version wasn't much better. It's a shame that the coffee wasn't convincing either. Still nice service and fair prices PS: the owner is trying by all means to have honest reviews deleted instead of taking the criticism constructively. Too bad!

I had an American breakfast here with friends on Saturday morning. The service was good and quick, but was initially able to take exclusive care of us. I first had a stuffed omelette with hash browns. Both very tasty. However, I knew the hash browns from the IHOP in Vegas were a little looser in consistency. Here it was more like hash browns. The pancake was fluffy and with the chocolate lakes it was a chocolate bomb. Very good. The milkshake was a touch too creamy. Overall, a safe 5 stars, but the price-performance ratio is rather in the upper range. However: even I couldn't eat anything again until late in the evening with that portion...

The food was delicious, the prices were a bit steep and the service could have been a bit more attentive (despite, or perhaps because of, the low number of visitors that evening). :)

Whether it's a birthday or a company party, every moment feels a little more special here. The combination of great food and inviting ambience makes every celebration unforgettable. We'll be back.

Great quesadillas. Really good service. Just a pity the food was served warm, not hot.

Sometimes you just need a short moment of peace - and that's exactly what I find here. A coffee in the cozy lounge is exactly my thing.

Very nice restaurant and very attentive staff. The cappuccino was unfortunately disappointing as it was just water with a bit of milk and the food could be improved.

Food was good, the breakfast burrito was tasty and the orange juice was also tasty. The service was very nice. The ambience is mediocre, could be decorated a little more in the American style.

It's been a long time since I enjoyed eating out so much. Great atmosphere, friendly service and, above all, incredibly delicious food. Large, filling portions. What more could you want? 😊👍

The children were thrilled! And we were happy about the family discount on Sunday, the children ate their meals almost faster than I could see. Great atmosphere for the whole family.

Relaxed here last night. The burgers are amazing and the ambience puts you in a good mood. Definitely my new favorite place in Essen.

Chic diner. 😉 I really liked the decor and the ambience. The service was very friendly and relatively quick. The food was really good. The prices are okay. I would recommend a reservation for Saturday evening.

Very fatty and frozen burger...

I love the positive and casual atmosphere here, it's really a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy delicious food.👌👌👌

First something positive: the atmosphere is relatively chic and the service was very friendly. Unfortunately, I was absolutely not impressed with the taste. The burger patty was unseasoned, far too thick and didn't appear to be homemade and the fries obviously came from the freezer and in my case were also unseasoned. Overall, the food gave the impression of warmed up food from the frozen section. The sauce on the burger was tasty and the bun was okay, but if the flavor of a burger only comes from the sauce, you have a problem. At the end of the day, the average price of €16 per dish is too expensive and there are simply better alternatives in this price segment.

With an outside temperature of 24 degrees and a maximum of 1/5 occupancy inside, the service staff had no desire to serve outside. Despite demand!! That's why I can't judge the food. But service: unfortunately I didn't see any. I actually won't be visiting this place again. It's a shame... you'd better go to the Tofino in Rüttenscheid... At least you can get everything done together. .

The American flair is noticeable and tasteable. A real enrichment with authentic food and drinks that inspire me

Went there for the first time today. Very friendly and attentive staff. The burgers taste very good and at fair prices. We'd love to come back.

Today we went to Chillers for the second time, an air-conditioned, stylish Californian restaurant. We loved the chicken platters so much on our first visit that we definitely wanted to have them again. Instead of being crispy, tender and juicy like the first meal, the chicken wings today were hard and dry, the boneless wings and tenders were still ok. The Californian Jerk Sauce was again incredibly tasty. The soft pretzel bites with cheddar sauce were really good. Let's see how it goes next time. .

Tasty and with great proportions. The waiting time was only 10-15 minutes, so we didn't have to wait long. Chicken was okay but not particularly wow. I still liked the fries. Overall, Chillers was a nice place to have a date night or meet up with friends.

The epitome of 4.5. Not perfect, but very good. There's nothing wrong with the price and food. The room seems a bit empty. Apart from that, there was an employee in the kitchen preparing the food who was complaining loudly. Otherwise we had a very nice evening. If you want to fill up a lot for little money, then go for one of the loaded fries.

Very nice staff and very spacious

Delicious food, nice service but large portions. :)

Very large portions and friendly staff

The ambience is classic American And the selection is great, there is something for everyone🙌

Food was super tasty, service answered every question, food came quickly and was incredibly tasty

Delicious food with good quality, portion and price. Friendly, unobtrusive service. Portion sachets of ketchup/mayo are served with the fries, which is a shame and reduces the otherwise good impression. Nice squeeze bottles would add more charm.

A really nice and “chilled” place to end the evening. Food was very good and the portions were also large. There is also an extra children's menu and there is enough choice there too. Everyone can find something to eat here. There is definitely enough choice on offer. The waitress was super friendly and offered us drinks on the house after she made a mistake and forgot to forward our order to the kitchen. Ambiance is just really “chill”. We came up here from Trier to the movie park and decided to go out for dinner here in the evening. It was worth it and is recommended.

Super nice shop that is on a side street in downtown Essen. The food is very tasty, the portions are a reasonable size & the service has always been super nice, attentive and helpful.

Super delicious food (something different), great ambience (very cozy) and excellent service (extremely friendly). We'd love to come back.

Very tasty food and nice service. We'd love to come back!

Delicious. Nice ambience. Very tasty cocktails

Super delicious food and super nice service again and again

Nice atmosphere. Generous portions. Delicious burgers 🍔

Very nice atmosphere, nice and attentive service. Just eat Yummi.

Large portions, nice service and great location, good music. Recommendation goes out!

We were at Chillers with a group of 11 people. The food was good and enough to fill you up. The surroundings are like a diner. The conditions were initially good, but unfortunately the service declined the later it got.

The food is very tasty and the service is really very good.

Highly recommended, great service, delicious food

Nice atmosphere, very nice service. Eating leggy

Extremely delicious. Only to recommend.

Arrived in Essen for our first ever visit en route to Berlin. We walk around the old town looking for somewhere to eat and fortunately found Chillers. The staff were great and even helped me with my German, i couldn't remember the word for repeat.. Weiderholen! I'll never forget. Food was better than pub grub, and the sort you'd expect from a burger bar to be honest. Good value for money and very tasty...as was the beer.

The food was very tasty and there was a lot of it...Really big portions. Service was very good and quick. And inside it's as cozy as home. We'll definitely be back

Super cute shop and nice staff. If you want to try something new, the store is perfect

You quickly feel like you are in a beach restaurant by the sea, I also really like the food, I would definitely recommend it.

Citizens are one of the best, if not the best, in food right now. The fries version with chicken are also recommended... it was our first but not last visit and the service was again top, thank you very much for that we will be back 100%

The atmosphere here is relaxed and friendly - American food as you imagine it! But I absolutely CANNOT understand the negative reviews. Clear recommendation!

Everything was great :) nice service. To recommend

Service, ambience and food top! We felt like we had a bit of everything, everything was great without exception!

We were very satisfied… Will be back…

The Pretzel Bites changed my life

The service was quick, the food was tasty and were big portions. It has a good vibe in the whole restaurant

I liked everything about this place, the food, the service and the vibe in this place. I ordered the Western BBQ Quesdilla. Just a really good place and I definitely reccomend it.

Great food! The waitress was also very, very nice and gave us good advice. The only “criticism” would be that we were overeaten at the end. But that's probably our mistake - not the restaurant's ;)

Very tasty burgers and absolutely perfect sweet potato fries. Very good diner, highly recommended!
