Franky's Diner in Bochum

Super delicious burgers, the shashlik is also highly recommended, a very nice atmosphere, and friendly and attentive service. Good value for money. Three of us went and everyone was completely satisfied. We'll be back.

This was our second time there. The food was great; this time we each had a schnitzel with sweet potato fries. Very tasty. The service was very friendly. Very good value for money. We were lucky again at lunch because we didn't have a reservation. I think it would be better. They often have a lot of guests. We'll definitely be back. Thank you very much.

Waiters are completely overwhelmed. We've been coming here for many years, but the service has deteriorated over the last two years because the old waiters left. And now it's a constant coming and going of newbies who don't even know who ordered what! We won't be back for a while.

Our expectations were disappointed!! 1x and never again 50€ for 2 chicken burgers and fries overly expensive for such a shop.

Takes far too long, had to wait 40 minutes for drinks, kitchen is great but service is very bad, waitress overwhelmed

Tasty, clean and very friendly! We'll be back.

Looking for something other than the yellow M or the other burger place, this was a stylish alternative where it was really tasty. In the future we will probably travel on the A43 instead of the A1. The only downside: not exactly cheap.

It's a shame...when we came in, we liked the diner with its typical American decor. Unfortunately the service, a single young man, was nice but clearly overwhelmed. The table was still full of glasses, which were cleared away after over 20 minutes. We were then allowed to order. Our drinks came about another 15 minutes later, the man behind the counter preferred to have a beer himself with the service instead of serving the guests. Our glasses were already there, but were already slightly covered when they were brought. We waited a long time for the food. After another half hour we realized that the preparation hadn't even started. There was also a lot of dawdling in the kitchen, no work structure. We then left hungry and disappointed.

The three of us decided to eat at this restaurant. After we had to wait half an hour for drinks and our snacks hadn't been served after an hour, I asked politely where the food was and found that the preparation hadn't even started yet. We then left the store. During the long waiting time, we observed that the service didn't know what had to go where. From our seats we could see into the kitchen, where people were talking rather than working. The boss drank beer from a bottle behind the counter while we waited for drinks. Conclusion: Absolutely unprofessionally run restaurant.

I ordered a hot dog, the roasted onions were cold, the bun was more like a baguette and there was a frikandel in the middle! The staff is super nice and attentive, unfortunately the same music always plays, which gets annoying after about an hour, otherwise the ambience is great, the fries are very tasty

Very authentic atmosphere and great service and incredibly attentive. Also very child-friendly. Orders could be placed very flexibly and the service was not overwhelmed... 😉 One of the best chicken schnitzels I've ever had.

The service was very friendly and accommodating: Even though he was alone in service on a Saturday evening, he had a good overview of everything. The only thing we missed was that he didn't ask at the end if everything was okay. BUT the food was by no means worth a visit: the mixed platter I ordered only contained frozen goods, from the BBQ dip to the wedges and the meat. The spare ribs had almost no meat on them, were probably 2 days old and as dry as the soles of a shoe!! Some of the fillets were VERY brown, almost burnt. The Elvis burger was also totally subpar: the patty was frozen and not well topped. Nothing special, we could have done a lot better at home for a lot less money. 52 euros (including 3 drinks) for frozen goods is more than steep!!

Everything ok, waiter serves alone, but also a very nice one.

Als Stammkunde gehe ich immer wieder gerne dahin!!👍👍👍👌👌

Everything is awesome!!! Had a really good experience. The food was bombastic, the service was perfect (the cellar's good mood was directly transferred to me), and the style of an old diner was also very well done.

I can only recommend Franky's Diner. It should be noted that a table should always be reserved, otherwise it is difficult to get a table. It generally takes a little longer for the food to be served, but it's worth it.

Absolutely delicious!!! Very cool staff!!! Top shop.

Been there many times and always great. Grill plate, burgers all really good

The food was very tasty. Unfortunately there are no gluten-free fries.

Great store! Very cool atmosphere! The food and service were great too. If I had to criticize something, it would probably be the difficulty in eating the burgers. Since they are more high than wide, it is very difficult to bite into them and a lot of things fall onto the plate or your jaw clenches. Don't get me wrong, the burgers were delicious and we had a great time, otherwise I wouldn't have given an almost perfect rating.

So far everything is great. Very nice staff. But for the price I hoped for more. Still, it was delicious 😋

The idea of ​​an American diner is great, but the interior is a bit old, the service was nice and friendly, the waiting time was a little above average, all in all still very recommendable.

Landed here by chance on the way to the Suite Magic Theater and loved it. Delicious food at fair prices. Attentive staff and a very tasty marshmallow milkshake 👍

One star is already too many! My burger was an absolute nightmare. The burger patty was "rotten" purple color on the inside and totally soggy. Waitress was super friendly but just said "it's not my shop" the full price had to be paid for a rotten meat burger. Big disappointment and be careful with the meat!

I've been eating here every now and then for years and am always satisfied. The atmosphere is typically American and the store is clean. The staff is always nice. The food is good but not great, hence only 4 stars for it. But completely okay in this price segment. Definitely worth a visit!

Very accommodating, friendly, the service staff, the food is varied, the 🍔 is simply great

Super tasty and very friendly staff. I had the crispy chicken burger with cheese fries. The burger alone would have been enough. Very good portion. Crisp onion rings, what more could you want. The best chicken burger I've eaten in a long time. 😋❤️💪🏽

Here you can experience a good American dinner feeling. Great service. Had delicious potato wedges with salads.

Really nice food and service, if you're into 50's style American and German food and experience this is the place!

Mega - super tasty and high quality food, great 50s atmosphere. The service is very good, the employees are friendly and accommodating. Absolute recommendation: the homemade onion rings. In addition to the delicious burgers, you can also enjoy XXL hot dogs - all in all, a top restaurant with very good music

Was there at 8:30 p.m. on a Sunday. The website says it's open until 9:30 p.m., the sign outside the door says it's open until 10:00 p.m. Were sent away because they were already closed... If you're already open, you shouldn't send customers away!

The food here used to be much tastier - on our last visit the burgers were somehow just very mediocre. Bread a bit dry, meat poorly seasoned. Additionally, our order was prepared incorrectly; the cheeseburger was without cheese and the other was XXL even though a normal one was ordered. Oh well. We won't be coming back for a while.

Really nice atmosphere of a 50s diner from the USA. The dishes have names that are based on actors or musicians from the time and music from the relevant time is even played. A real experience! And the food is simply top!

Great fast food restaurant. Currently one of the best on the planet and in Bochum. Music and presentation inside Rock Pure. Service is always very attentive and quick... if you want it. Actually deserves more visitors when I see what's going on somewhere else nearby.... . Price - performance fits.

Delicious food and nice service.

In short: delicious food, great ambience and extremely friendly service, we'll be back again! 🙂

The bacon cheeseburger was quite good - in contrast to the mixed platter (all frozen goods)... almost 18 euros for it is definitely not justified. I couldn't get Wings through my throat. The waiter was even nicer. Conclusion: you can do it - but you don't have to.

High expectations were disappointed 😞. The food was okay, there was nothing to complain about. But the service was catastrophic, two people were totally overwhelmed. And cheeky too. For us once and never again!

We always enjoyed coming here, but not anymore after today. It can always be understaffed on Saturday evening due to sick leave, but the handling of this was subpar. First no waitress came for 30 minutes, then only 4 out of 5 drinks came. The food also came staggered and one dish didn't come at all. After 90 minutes we raised this and the stroppy waitress couldn't muster an apology. When she asked whether we still wanted the food that wasn't brought or not, we asked; how long that would take. She said she didn't know, they had other tables too. Sorry, but the bare minimum after 90 minutes would be to cook the burger immediately. I am speechless about so much incompetence, unprofessionalism and ignorance. As we were paying, she asked us “how we could treat the most hard-working person here.” Understood. I have a lot of sympathy for understaffing and a lack of staff, but that was just a tremendous impudence :)

Really good fries, weak buns, cool place

Very nice there, very nice atmosphere and super tasty hamburgers, just great.

Very tasty food and super friendly staff. We'd love to come back.

Best burger I had in a long time along with a creamy milkshake 👍 outstanding service with a smile in a 50s US atmosfeer, well recommended. ( Bring some cash, they only accept German cards 😉)

Unfortunately I haven't been there for a long time, but I was immediately greeted in a very friendly manner and served and had a delicious dinner. Always happy and now more often.

Great restaurant and really good shashlick

Unfriendly staff, only frozen goods are served and that's how it tastes! Not recommended!!!!

Best burgers in town! Super tasty.

Cool shop, great food and kept simple without a lot of frills. Super friendly service! Gladly again 👍🏼

The food and service were bomb! Ambiance was ok...different...but not negative!

I was very satisfied and had spent a lovely afternoon there with my wife. The food was very fresh and of high quality. I highly recommend it if you are looking for that special feeling when eating a burger.

Smaller than expected from the images presented

Unfortunately it took forever for our food to arrive. People who came after us were more likely to be served. I do not understand. No milkshakes or brownies as stated on the menu. I don't think we'll come back. Food was...well. Salt the fries too much

According to the homepage it should be open. There was a sign on site that said it was only open from 5 p.m.

Super great restaurant. Delicious food and friendly service. We really enjoyed the atmosphere.

Delicious food with funny service. Only one service person but since it wasn't full everything was fine. Portion and taste really good, prices a little higher but still ok. It's just a shame that some items from the menu were no longer available.

DANGER !!! The opening times on the official website are incorrect. We stood in front of a closed door at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. Very annoying .

Great ambience, super nice staff but above all incredibly delicious food. All in all, an absolute recommendation.

Burger was very good. Schnitzel was ok.

The burgers are simple 👍 Service is top. parking is available. I can highly recommend this place

Good food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

So today I went to eat there again after a long time but I think it has worn off a lot

It didn't look that appealing from the outside on the day we visited, but it's very inviting from the inside. The young waitress was very friendly and served us very quickly. We had a burger with bacon cheese fries and a hot dog with fries. Both impressed us in terms of taste. I deducted one star from the meal for the limited selection of dessert. If in doubt, this could be optimized a little. Price/performance is great and the portion size is also right. See you next time.

So I have to say, I'm thrilled The best schnitzel ever, I haven't had a better one here... The staff is nice and accommodating, the children are allowed to be children here 🤩 we'll definitely be back ^^

We ate there for the first time today. The ambience is really great. The food was super tasty and the price was totally right. The waitress was also super nice and accommodating. Will be there a second time 👍🏻

The food was super delicious! We had an XXL burger with bacon and one with spicy hollandaise. Bacon super crispy! I always attach great importance to it and all in all it's a great flavor combination. With both burgers. We also had the fries with cheese sauce (unfortunately I can't remember what was included) and they tasted great too. Perfectly seasoned. The service was also super nice, just as you would imagine in a diner. I'll put it this way... a likeable "dude" 😄 If I'm in Bochum again I would eat there again!

Mega delicious food, super polite service and a very pleasant atmosphere. Strong recommendation

Very good price/performance ratio. Friendly service. Nice location.

very cool, but please note that card payments are not possible at the moment during the day/morning. ✌️ Otherwise everything was great

Unfortunately expected more than it is... It's OK, nothing more...

The ambience is appealing and modeled on an American diner. The bench seats were very comfortable. The Twister Fries were very crispy, which we liked. The buns were a little too toasted. It's a shame, because the brioche buns from a local bakery were very tasty. Overall, the burger was very tasty and the portion was sufficient. The service was friendly, attentive and quick. All in all 5 stars.

Chic atmosphere and delicious food. Timing is terrible. You can only order drinks after 25 minutes. Burgers arrived 2 out of 3 at some point because unfortunately one was forgotten. Some customers who came after us left before our order was complete.

Very tasty and fresh food. Burger bread from the bakery around the corner. Service extremely courteous and quick. Lovely again

My pulled pork burger was very tasty, the restaurant was busy, the staff was friendly, too few and slightly overwhelmed. 🤔 Nevertheless, I'll be back!! 😉

Very good food, great atmosphere and the staff is so nice and attentive. We'll be back 🙂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Ein sehr schöner Diner,es stimmt fast alles, nur das Personal ist leider nicht ordentlich gekleidet. Vielleicht mal etwas Einheitliches was auch zum Diner passt.

Super-duper. That describes everything. Waiters overly friendly

Was there today with my wife and small son, the atmosphere was very nice 50s-60s diner style, the service was very nice and friendly, the food is priced high, but I think it is justified for the large portions and the taste/quality, I will definitely recommend and visit again 😁

One of my favorite burger shops. But the simple currywurst fries also taste very good there in between. Everyone should try the Marshmello milkshake. The most important thing is the super friendly service. They are always patient and in a good mood.

Nice American diner in Bochum. Lovely people and delicious food.

Great atmosphere, delicious shakes 🤗

Good shop, happy to come again, the burger was great. Prices are moderate, like other diners. Unfortunately the Oreo shake was not available

We have enjoyed going there for many years. It's always worth it for us.

Always delicious. The burgers are awesome

Unfortunately, the food was cold and the ambience has deteriorated over the years... but the service was absolutely friendly and top notch

The atmosphere was nice. It took a little longer for the food to arrive. The food was ok but so overpriced I won't go back. I would hope that a burger around 13 euros would fill me up. We paid almost 40 euros for 2 burgers and 2 portions of fries with dip and 2 cokes. It wasn't worth it and I can't recommend any dish.

Great food. Very friendly. Cool atmosphere.

Great diner with delicious shakes. You should try the Coke Float (with vanilla ice cream). The burger with grilled pineapple was also top. The service was really very nice. We felt very comfortable.

We felt very comfortable. Great food, very tasty. Child-friendly and the service was great, always fun. We'd love to come back.

The food was very tasty and sufficient. Price/performance is right! The ambience is great, very nicely themed, if the waitress wore the right outfit it would be perfect. 😉 The nice waiter was new and you could tell. Drinks were mixed up with other tables, wrong dip to eat and somehow he seems nervous. But these were all just small things that were quickly remedied, but he always had a funny saying and made us laugh. 😋😋

We ate there again after a long time. We liked it very much. Everything was great. But be sure to reserve. We were lucky and got a table

My favorite burger is there. The James Dean Burger is always worth a visit. Some people find the idea bizarre - a burger with jalapeños and peanut butter... I can only recommend it.

I ate here for the first time today and it was very good! The service was very friendly and gave us good advice. The ambience is a little old-fashioned, but it suits a diner like we know from America quite well. The food was very good and the service was top

We visited the diner with several people over two days. First of all, the food is very good, the selection is great and the atmosphere is exceptionally different. On our first visit, the diner was full to capacity and everything was fine. There were a few small things to complain about on the second visit with children, but they were all sorted out. As I said, the food was great and the plates were empty afterwards 🤤 We will visit Franky's Diner more often, and we recommend making a reservation in advance.

American style diner with a great burger menu, ribs, cilli con carne, hot dogs and snack classics. Very tasty and filling. Unfortunately it was not possible to pay by card today.

Price Performance 10/10 Taste 10/10 Service 10/10 Location is close to everywhere So Bochum Witten Dortmund That's why 8/10 Parking is more crazy otherwise 5/5 stars

Really delicious food. We will be back definitely.

We just ate at Franky's for the first time. The food was really, really good and the service was also excellent! The Xxl Burger has it all, but the normal burger is also an absolute filler. The taste is spot on and no bacon or other ingredients were used. The bacon cheese fries were also amazing. The sauce was delicious, the fries were crispy and so was the bacon. Nothing more was possible. The milkshake at the end also a 10/10. The service was the icing on the cake. The man who served the entire diner today was not only very friendly and accommodating, but also always made sure that you could order something directly or was immediately available to answer any questions. We have rarely experienced such a genuinely friendly host! We would like to come again!!! The atmosphere was typically American. Even though it seemed inconspicuous from the outside and a bit strange from the camp at the beginning, we were by no means disappointed in the end 👌

I will always come back to you, it was very tasty

I have no idea what it's like... I just find it unbelievable that it says on the internet that it's open until 10 p.m. and then when you arrive at 8:45 p.m. you're told that it's closed. I think it's a disgrace, especially if you have to travel a long way takes...Then the opening hours on Sunday should be set to 9 p.m. if no more customers come and if any do come then it's too...unbelievable

The diner has a typical American flair and is quite comfortably furnished. The service was great. The choice of food is lavish and typical. The price-performance ratio was definitely right.
