Connie's Diner in Kamen

Very friendly and loves animals.

I would come again, the food was great, and there is the option to place your order via QR code and get a server.

The service is good in the morning, but terrible in the evening. The food is good, but the evening service is awful; you should go for lunch.

It was okay. The staff were arguing loudly in front of the guests. Dessert was sold out.

Once a top spot, now a flop!!! The customer is the only one paying!!! CHEAP Paderborn beer is being peddled at exorbitant prices!!! The time from order taking to delivery at the table can sometimes take the length of an entire movie!!! And that's with about 10 guests in the entire restaurant!!! Thanks for nothing

Ordering and paying via the QR code didn't work. The burgers and fries were great, but the wedges were unfortunately not crispy and the seasoning was bland.

That was nothing! Far too expensive for far too little service! The service is rated as adequate. You order via a QR code and the food is delivered by a robot. Therefore, you have relatively little contact with the staff. I felt somehow "unnoticed." We had to wait a very long time for the food. From ordering to the starter, it was easily 30 minutes, and from the starter to the main course, more than 30 minutes. That's definitely too long. The restaurant was only at most one-third full at that time. The prices for the food and the taste are absolutely outrageous!!! Unfortunately, there's simply no way to beat the quality here. I can make any burger better on my gas grill. A specially ordered burger patty for a whopping €6.50!!!! was not put on my burger. Unfortunately, I only realized this after I'd already eaten half of it. Two slices of cheese or two slices of bacon for an extra €2 is simply way too expensive! In short, they charge a lot for very little service and quality! What bothered me personally was that you absolutely have to shower after your visit and put all your clothes in the washing machine. Your entire body smells so strongly of food and grease, it's like you've been standing next to the chef for five hours. That's really not nice! The only thing that's quite good is the ambiance. Unfortunately, this was my last visit to Connie's Diner. What a shame!

I used to go to Conny's Diner in Kamen quite often, but unfortunately, the quality has deteriorated. I find it particularly disappointing that the old beef patties have been replaced with simple smashburger patties, which I consider a clear step backward. Even little things like a fresh lemon in the Coke are missing these days, and they seem to be focusing more on quantity than quality. Although the service is still very friendly and the ambiance is impressive, I probably won't go there again until things improve. What a shame...

Reminds you a lot of America. Good food, the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They kept asking if you wanted anything else and if everything was okay. Everything was good, but the prices were high and the portions were small.

Completely overpriced and poorly presented. Burger without any side dishes: €15.00 Skimmed potato: A small potato submerged in a dip, without any side dishes: €7.00.

Two of us went to the restaurant and both had burgers and fries. The fries were really good, nice and crispy and floury. The sides were also tasty, and the burger was perfectly fine. So, the food was really good, but the price was a bit high for a burger and fries. The decor was really wild. Decorations everywhere, American signs, wooden penguins, and a large vase with fairy lights. It was more reminiscent of a Greek restaurant than an American diner. The bottom line: The food was great, but a bit too expensive, and the atmosphere wasn't quite right.

The burgers are okay, but at €15 to €18 without a side, they're a bit too expensive. So, overall, they get a slight deduction.

discovered years ago and always a highlight, love to go there

The atmosphere was good, the service was excellent. We were more than disappointed with the food. The bacon cheeseburger cost €16.90, and the beer mat was thicker than the meat patty. We were then told that it wasn't their fault, it was the industry that delivered it that way. Well, let's just leave it at that. It'll work for most people, since there are enough people passing through.

It's been better. Waited an hour for the food and then it was cold. That was the last time.

Service took a very long time. Unfortunately, digitalization (digital ordering/mobile robots) hasn't resulted in any speed advantages. It's actually slower.

The ambiance is truly reminiscent of classic American diners – beautifully executed! The service was friendly and quick, and the overall experience was positive. The lunch special (burger, fries, and a drink for €16) is reasonably priced, but the prices are quite high beyond that. The twister fries were really good, but the burger was just average. You can have a good lunch, but it's not a must – solid, but not a must.

Great food and great service. Portions are also a good size for the price 👍

The restaurant is very modern; I was very impressed with the app for ordering and paying! The servers have plenty of time to properly attend to customers; they've clearly understood how to handle staff shortages. I haven't felt this comfortable in a restaurant for a long time. The ambiance reflects American flair, and the food is simply excellent. I'd definitely go back.

Chilled location and right next to the supercharger

Really delicious food. I also really enjoyed the beer. The staff was very friendly and everything went quickly. The food was delicious and super.

The food is very tasty, but in my opinion it is much too expensive, especially for the size of the portions.

The staff were friendly and quick. The restaurant was very clean. Two stars for that. Unfortunately, we didn't like the food. Both the ribs and the burger were incredibly sweet. Burger buns are sweet, but this was too much for me. On top of that, the salad was drenched in sauce. It was practically all mayo. A shame.

We were very satisfied. The food was very good, the service was great, and the shop was clean and tidy 👍

American style was the order of the day. I had a hot southern burger with sweet potato fries and sour cream. What can I say! It was incredibly delicious and awesome. You could order online with a barcode or, as is traditional, with the waitress. Payment was possible by card or PayPal, but you could also pay at the cash register. Consider whether you want a starter (appetizer). The portions are generous. Absolutely top-notch.

American restaurant with large portions. However, the drinks are a bit more expensive.

Too expensive, for the food offered, and the service offered

Very friendly service. The burgers are delicious. I've rarely had such good fries. Absolutely satisfied.

The food was delicious. The service was particularly friendly. The ambiance was pleasant. Overall, the price/performance ratio was good.

Exaggerated and outrageously expensive. A 0.5l beer costs €7.50, which takes away your appetite. A real shame.

This won't work anymore. It used to be amazing, but now it's a joke. Tastes better at home. Portions are small, but expensive. And honestly, what's a service robot doing in an American restaurant? Maybe it's more appropriate for a Chinese restaurant. This robot makes a terrible tinkle while music blares from the speakers in the ceiling. We won't be going back to this restaurant. Long waits to be seated, and equally long waits to pay.

If you like American ambiance and food, this is the place for you. The spare ribs are among the most tender I've ever eaten anywhere (including the US). And the rest of the food is also excellent. Highly recommended.

We wanted to spend a nice evening with our friends, but unfortunately it was annoying and a disaster 👎 . Right from the start, it was difficult to get drinks... 20 minutes later, they finally arrived. We waited over 90 minutes for the food, only to discover that one dish was completely wrong. We were told that they would sort it out with the kitchen, and after asking several times, the replacement food arrived after 45 minutes. We were all finished and my friend had to eat alone! It also took almost 30 minutes to reorder drinks! Not that they were tripping over each other behind the bar, we were sitting directly opposite!!! Unfortunately, the price of 29.90 euros for the spare ribs was not justified, far too much BBQ sauce and a lot of fat, unfortunately a very unfortunate evening, we will NOT be back.....

The food was tasty, but after an appetizer and a burger with fries, it still wasn't enough to satisfy the average person. The 30-minute wait for food wasn't a huge amount of time, but it was still plenty for two burgers and a schnitzel.

Delicious food and friendly staff. We'll be back.

An absolutely top-notch restaurant. The food comes quickly. Super friendly service and absolutely delicious. The American look with the American rock music is an absolute highlight.

Super delicious food, high quality, very pleasant service staff, pleasant atmosphere

I highly recommend the lunch menu. It's really affordable by today's standards. For €15.90, you get a decent-sized cheeseburger, a generous portion of fries, and a large drink.

This is probably the low point of Connie's Dinner. There used to be exuberantly friendly customer service, prompt food preparation without long waits, servers who asked if everything was okay, and always had a smile on their faces. Typical American, in a way. Today, there's probably nothing to laugh about here. The kitchen and service are understaffed; a robot brings the food to your table, which you had to order yourself via QR code. The burgers were well-topped, and the burger bun was barely cut with a knife. For me, the worst diner I've ever been to.

Two of us were here on a Friday afternoon around 5 p.m. We had made a reservation, as it had always been difficult to get a table at this time before the pandemic. First impressions after the reopening: - It was very empty (the left side of the restaurant was closed off). - I think there was still Christmas decorations: wooden sculptures like fir trees and moose, as decorations in the outside restaurant in July? - Nice music was playing, and the service was very friendly and accommodating. - There were one or more cat/waiter robots "working" in the restaurant. A nice and fun idea in itself. However, the music there is different than in the restaurant. I found that rather distracting. We also received our food and drinks from a server. The use of these devices was a bit incomprehensible to me. However, we did notice that many parents were coming by with children. - The burgers had pink/red buns? The reason is unclear to me. -The ribs are no longer drenched in sauce, which was a positive. - The menu has been slightly modified. - The food wasn't exceptional, which would justify another visit with a longer round trip. - The prices are also reasonable. Conclusion: If we're ever in the area (for example, a visit to the aforementioned furniture store), we would stop by for a snack. However, I wouldn't come specifically with friends or acquaintances.

I was satisfied 😊 The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasant. The value for money was also good for me. I have nothing to complain about!

We really enjoyed the ambiance in the diner, cozy with its traditional banquettes. The service was friendly, and since it wasn't busy in the afternoon, our food was brought to our table very quickly. The baked potato with pulled pork was really delicious, and the corn on the cob was also good. The salad wasn't my cup of tea, especially the dressing. My highlight was the brownie – super moist and nice and warm 👌 We'll definitely be back :)

Absolutely delicious 🍔. Nice staff. Can make it again.

The ambiance and service are still good. Very friendly staff, and the robot is a highlight. Unfortunately, the food quality has declined significantly. The portion sizes have also become significantly smaller, so the price for the meals is no longer justified. We won't be coming back for the time being.

I went out to eat with my girlfriend. The food was absolutely delicious! Our waiter, Janis, was a great guy!

Unfortunately, my visit to Connie's Diner didn't impress me. While the quality of the products is decent, I don't think the high prices are worth it. You can get comparable quality for similar items elsewhere for less. Even though the store's presentation is appealing, the overall price-performance ratio leaves a rather disappointing impression. It's a shame, I had hoped for more from my visit.

I'd gladly come back for the fajita chicken. Simple, straightforward, and delicious. I also had tortillas with dips and salad with dressing. The atmosphere is very inviting and cozy, the service isn't at all intrusive, and watching the robot is fun—you don't see that often. Janis, in particular, was very nice; he was a lot of fun to be with. I highly recommend it!

The food was truly delicious and reasonably priced. The ribs were very tender and flavorful. The peanut butter burger was highly recommended, and the service was very friendly.

You're seated and supposed to be given a QR code to order. This was forgotten, and only done half an hour later, upon request. Then, while ordering, you noticed that some of the dishes were no longer available. After that, you waited over an hour for the food. The food itself wasn't anything special for the price. The seating on the benches is very tight. You don't need to go there again.

We attended dinner as a family in the evening. The wait times are very long to get a table and for the food and drinks to arrive at the table. Yes, there's this funny robot that drives around and delivers the food, but with four people, it's already overloaded, and a server has to support the vehicle. The server who served us was polite and helpful. Unfortunately, there were far too few servers. It's probably similar in the kitchen. From ordering the food to delivery at the table, it took more than 45 minutes. After guests paid and left the restaurant, it took almost an hour for the table to be cleared and new people to be seated, even though there were many people waiting at the entrance. The corn on the cob was unfortunately overcooked, but the ribs were good, and the meat came off easily. The men's restroom was clean, but the faucet handles looked to have been missing for a while.

I'd like to refute all the negative reviews! I wanted to try it for myself and was pleasantly surprised! Excellent service, ambiance, and delicious food. A completely different restaurant. It's definitely worth it! Keep it up 👍

The food was great. Ordering and paying via our mobile phone was a surprise, but it worked well.

We were last there 5 or 6 years ago... I was absolutely thrilled, the value was great, and everything was delicious. When I ate there today, I was totally disappointed. They had pink burgers, and the personal touch of the diner is gone. Now robots drive to the table and bring the food... you order via your phone. I don't know, I didn't feel comfortable there today.

The food tastes good. We also had to wait over 1.5 hours for our food... The service is hard to rate, as orders are placed via QR code. Apart from bringing drinks and, if necessary, food (which is also brought by a robot), the small staff doesn't pay much attention on a Saturday during peak meal times.

We charged our car at the supercharger and then took a lunch break here. Our conclusion: very tasty food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. We'll be happy to come back. The wait for our food and an espresso (which came with a glass of water) to finish was perfectly acceptable. Fun fact: there's a mobile robot here that brings the food to the table. An innovative solution in times of skilled labor shortages, and definitely an eye-catcher. We enjoyed it and got a few laughs when the waitress told us the robot's name was "Bella."

I ordered a schnitzel with white wine sauce and mushrooms at Conny's Diner. Unfortunately, the experience was rather disappointing. The schnitzel was obviously a frozen product and, with a small portion, quite small – for the price of around €14.50, I honestly expected more, both in terms of quality and quantity. The fries had to be ordered separately and cost an additional €4.50 – bringing the total price for a regular meal to almost €19. For this price range, the portion was significantly too small. The accompanying salad was okay, but nothing special. Overall, the value for money wasn't right for me. The ingredients didn't seem freshly prepared, but more like they came from the freezer, which is disappointing given the prices. Conclusion: Friendly service, but small portions, mediocre quality, and rather steep prices. It's a shame – there's still room for improvement here.

The food was delicious. Service was quick and uncomplicated.

The price is a bit expensive but the food is good, the service is very friendly and accommodating and the food itself is brought by a robot, at least that was the case at our table, which was quite amusing as it plays songs while it makes its way through the room.

This restaurant was the first one I ate with my friend. For nostalgic reasons we come back every few years. Our last time was quite a while ago. The interior is definitely reminiscent of a diner, but unlike before there is quieter background music playing, which I found to be very pleasant. This time I chose fajita with beef rump and my friend chose ribs, wings and a side dish of potatoes. As I glanced past, I found the burgers at the next table to be much more appealing than before. My fill-your-own fajita was a really generous portion, the meat was fried medium rare as requested and the small wraps came in a container so they stayed warm. I really liked my food. I had a lot of fun and it tasted really good with the plenty of vegetables, the delicious meat and the sauces. The sauces are certainly a finished product. You should know, but I already knew that. He really liked my friend's ribs and ordered them there several times. Very tender, good marinade and overall happy with the portin. He ordered a Dr. Pepper Cherry to drink and here, as is usual in the USA, it is served in a can. For dessert I had a piece of New York cheesecake and my friend had a banana shake. I thought the cheesecake was great. A really nice vanilla note, creamy, not an exaggerated cookie base, but enough that it was the perfect component. I really didn't need the cream with it - neither the type of cream, nor any cream at all with cheesecake, but you're not forced to eat it. He also liked my friend's milkshake - he's a big milkshake fan anyway. The portions of both desserts were such that we could barely fit them in. The service was really excellent yesterday. Fast, super friendly and really accommodating. We let him know that later in the form of tips and words. I think the good service staff are always welcome to hear that when they do a great job. Overall, it was really another delicious evening. We were satisfied with the food, had fun and remembered our first evening there. If you know what to expect there and correctly classify the location so that there is a ready-made sauce, then you can really spend a nice evening here. The whole ambience is very harmonious, the food was more than just solid, the service was good and we really recommend it, especially with groups. We briefly felt like we were in a 2000s US teen movie on our first date over milkshakes and it's exactly this harmonious feeling that keeps us coming back every few years.

Friendly service, but the dyed burgers are more reminiscent of dog food! Very expensive dog food! Definitely never again!

Nice place If You must to wait to load the car 🚗

The food was good, but nothing extraordinary—solid fare, as you'd expect. The service was all the better for it: the server was very friendly and attentive, and we didn't have to wait long for our food. The ambiance is the same as always—it seems like not much has changed in about 15 years. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Overall, a down-to-earth restaurant that's definitely worth visiting every now and then if you're nearby and just want to eat well—no big surprises, but also no disappointments.

The food is fine. Quite expensive. The atmosphere is mediocre, and the seating is cramped at the fixed tables with benches.

American Style Burger Restaurant

Unfortunately, it's nothing like what it used to be. The food is average at best: brown lettuce, bones in the burger, dirty glasses, faucets in the men's restrooms incomplete, air conditioning broken, etc. After a "not so good" visit a few weeks ago, this will definitely be our last visit. I've been going here since I was a kid and I'm just incredibly disappointed by the substandard development.

It used to be much better, the veggie burger was rather soggy, even Mäckes can do better. Portions were okay. Update July 2025: I spontaneously went there with my wife on my birthday. The vegan burger was quite tiny for a diner, about the size of a Junior Whopper. But the portion of American fries was very large. My Caesar wrap was OK, the fries OK, but quite salty. Overall, though, not satisfactory for the price. I ordered a Virgin Margherita to celebrate. Who the hell garnishes the rim of a glass with chili flakes and doesn't write it down? They reacted nicely to my surprise and took it off the bill. The food came quickly and was much better than before.

Nice American-style ambiance. The food is perfectly fine for the price. The robotic server adds to the special atmosphere.

Food was delicious but unfortunately we waited over an hour for the burger.

We waited over an hour for our food. When we politely asked, we were simply told, "There's only one chef, so it'll take a while." After another 30 minutes, the food finally arrived – a completely excessive wait for a normal dinner. As a small compensation, we simply asked for a beer each on the house, which the waiter initially agreed to. A short time later, he suddenly said only two small beers, nothing more was allowed. We even accepted that, gritted teeth. But then another waiter (presumably the boss's daughter) came over and said that even that wasn't possible; we could have a small loaf of bread or cake instead. Seriously? When we responded, annoyed, "Then I don't know who's paying our bill," the first waiter came back, completely upset, with the words, "Hey, who says that? What's up with that?" – instead of apologizing for the terrible service, we were yelled at. In the end, of course, we paid because we just wanted to leave – and then we were asked if we wanted to tip. Absolutely outrageous. We'll definitely never come back here. Bad service, poor organization, inappropriate communication with guests. An evening full of frustration instead of enjoyment.

... after waiting 70 minutes for the food, we paid for the drinks and left...not just us, but other guests too!

Cozy diner-style ambiance. Delicious food, extensive menu selection, including a well-stocked drinks list. Orders can be placed in person or via QR code. Definitely worth a visit!

A very welcoming lunch stop on the way to your vacation. Very friendly, multilingual staff, decor for US fans, a little robot "server" that delights the kids. Delicious hamburgers, homemade ice cream "Emma the Mu", a good place to avoid the traditional roadside restaurants.

We've been there a few times. The food is generally quite good, but the service gets worse every year. The staff is extremely friendly, but clearly overwhelmed. You have to wait a very long time for the food. And despite ordering via app, things are often forgotten during delivery. The "starter" concept is also largely unknown, as starters are brought with the main course. You could simply order the main course later, but who does that when you wait over an hour? Given the prices, you'd expect more.

Super nice American diner-style place, food and service are great, I had a Caesar salad and a brownie, both delicious!

Unfortunately, we waited for over two hours and then left. It was nothing, and we were by no means the only ones this happened to there today.

Great taste and service! We got our food fast and it looked amazing - we were really surprised of the nice details that you don't get in other restaurants. All dishes had really high quality, we'll definitly come back!

Yes, delicious, friendly service, and the price is right too.🫶

The food was very good, and the price was reasonable. Service was largely replaced by robots. The burger was tasty and well-topped. Personally, I missed appropriate music, or any music at all, in the background...

That was nothing. The price/performance ratio was a disaster. Unfortunately, the food is below average. Most of it is thrown into the deep fryer and ready to go, but unfortunately, the price isn't right. The service was only semi-motivated. The damaged wooden steps at the entrance... We definitely won't be going back.

I was there again today, and what can I say? Everything was fantastic. We'd love to come back.

We were there again after years, we each ordered a burger which was also good and we also had cheeky fries which we only got a quarter of an hour after the burgers, somehow I don't understand the concept of the place, it's supposed to be an American diner, stop coloring your buns pink, it looks like construction foam, in the past you couldn't get a wheel on the ground on a Friday, today there were 3 tables occupied, my conclusion is there are much better restaurants in the Unna district

I can recommend Connie's Diner. I really liked the atmosphere.

Approaching guests in the middle of their meal and asking them to get up from their table and pay is an absolute disgrace. Fearing that the guest might leave, the staff demands immediate payment. I've been to many restaurants, but I've never experienced anything like this. This is the restaurant and never again. The food is mediocre.

It was very hot and there was definitely no air conditioning for good ventilation

After not having eaten at this diner for at least 5-7 years, we invited a friend over for dinner to get a fresh perspective. We were not disappointed. Our meals (salmon, fajita, and veggie burger), which arrived at our table in a very short time after ordering digitally, were all incredibly delicious and worth every penny! The website for ordering and paying was very slow at times, but that was really the only downside to the evening. Overall, we were still thrilled! 😊👍🏼

I can recommend it with a clear conscience. Everything's great!

Very good food but relatively expensive

Just had a steak, simply world-class! Friendly service, just like last time. Highly recommended!

Very tasty, good selection. Suitable for vegetarians! Afterwards, you can stay overnight in one of the motel's themed rooms.

We've been regular guests for years and always enjoy coming here. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating. Our dog always gets a bed and a bowl of water. The prices are great, and the atmosphere is fantastic!

Very dog-friendly! Our little one gets her own bed and fresh water.

The food wasn't that tasty. I had a burger with spare ribs and the whole burger had a bitter aftertaste and the burger in general tasted very strange. As a starter, there was a very small portion of onion rings and mozzarella sticks for 13€.

Sorry, but it's definitely overpriced for this quality. Why does the burger bun have to be red? Or was it pink? And if so, please mention it on the menu; it might be a good idea for Halloween. The burger bun was completely soggy, and the meat, etc., wasn't seasoned. It was really great there a few years ago, but we won't be going back.

Very good burger restaurant... great atmosphere and the burgers are exactly my taste.

The burgers here are truly delicious. The robot-shaped waitress is hilarious, and the ambiance is appropriate for a diner. It's a shame, however, that there seem to be regular staff shortages, as there are often horrendous wait times. Still, definitely recommended.

The food and ambiance are quite good. Prices are borderline, but you don't have to order a burger for 18.90. What's absolutely unacceptable—as has been mentioned here many times, but it doesn't seem to be improving—is the far too long wait time.

Simply rustic, stylish and cozy, top service and the food perfect....we'd love to come back soon😊

Great, simply fantastic. Everything fits perfectly. Unfortunately, that's rare these days.

We had a wonderful time here! The restaurant is decorated with a lot of American stuff, truly authentic. We didn’t wait long until the food arrived. You really get a bang for your buck: big portions, tasted terrific. The portions for the burgers are somewhat small in comparison, but they taste great and are still a good filling meal. The server guy was very friendly. Would definitely recommend going here!

Absolutely fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was outstanding — friendly, fast, and very attentive. The food was simply top-notch: juicy meats, fresh sides, and every dish full of flavor. The presentation was great too, especially the mixed grill platter and the pulled pork burger with the red bun — both delicious and beautifully served. You can really tell they put care into every detail. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys great food in a cozy setting!
