Freddy Schilling – Die Hamburger Manufaktur in Köln

It's a shame that Krispiburgers advertise cream cheese (the way it used to be made and was great) - now it's mayo :'( we miss it! Everything else is great

Fries were great, so were the sauces, unique, and delicious.

Best burger in Cologne with the sweetest employees but bring back the loaded fries with bacon jam!!!!!!!

The burgers arrive cold and soggy, they were inedible. I can't judge how the food in the store tastes. However, after placing my order, I would neither visit the store nor order again. Very, very bad service for the price.

The burgers here are really very good, the patties were juicy, the bun was toasted and the sauces were delicious. Two burgers, a drink, large fries and two sauces cost around €38. Would definitely recommend the store.

Very tasty burgers at reasonable prices👍☺️

Best burger in Cologne, whether this branch or Eigelstein ;)

The waitress came with art supplies for the children. which made it easier for us to choose food from the menu in peace. There were many options that were gluten free. It was just mega. The burgers were delicious and filling. The fries, which are made from fresh potatoes, were very notable. The nuggets are also highly recommended. And if you're thirsty, you should definitely take the house lemon tea. He's super leggy. We will definitely come back.

It's always a pleasure for me to eat such delicious burgers 😍

Really good burgers, nice team and cool atmosphere!

Unfortunately disappointed with the food, the fries were crumbly and the cheeseburger had no cheese

Great burger, but unfortunately a bit too expensive. Fries could have been crispier.

Unfortunately, the vegan pattie tastes like a tasteless mush of potatoes or something. We had three different burgers and unfortunately none of us liked it. The fries were okay! It's a shame, the good reviews probably misled us 😵‍💫

Top burger 🍔 with super nice employees

Really delicious, friendly staff and always good quality, just as it should be!

Sauces taste like nothing with a hint of spühli and sour cream

Burgers are simply great, staff are in a great mood and very friendly and accommodating.

Super friendly and authentic staff, self-service (therefore deductions for service, but I personally think it's good) and a really tasty burger!! That's why the criticism here is at a very high level - on site - Sweet Potato Fries: Very tasty, sauces also great, but unfortunately they don't stay crispy for very long Double smashed cheese burger 8.5: Positive: - awesome meat taste with a salt kick from start to finish - Delicious cheese - Good sauces - Cucumbers had a great acidity and onions were fresh and tasty Criticism: - Bread was a bit too dry at first. Maybe let it rest in aluminum foil for a moment to make it slobbery. - Tomatoes weren't as powerful as one would like

Went there shortly after closing time, unfortunately the checkout was already “closed”. After begging for a while to see if we could at least have a few more sweet potatoes, one of the bosses simply packed us some super tasty fries for free plus three sauces. Judge good man and a good shop. Next time we'll pay something for it too 🫶🏻

The best cheeseburger I've ever eaten. The best thing about it: It's a completely normal cheeseburger without any strange extras, like the ones you know and love from American fast food chains from your childhood - only tasty and without chemicals. At €10 per piece it's a bit more expensive, but with the taste it's worth stopping by on Sundays and public holidays and spending money.

Top shop. Nice service and delicious burgers. What more could you want?

The burger is a matter of taste, I didn't like it. The fries were fried in old oil, were very full of old fat and tasted absolutely delicious. A disgrace for the price. The homemade iced tea, way too overpriced and way too sweet. I didn't like it. We asked the service if it would take longer because we had a tight schedule and trusted that it would take 10 min. In the end it was 35 minutes that we waited.

Down-to-earth (not overloaded) very good burgers. - Selection: good selection, including vegan versions - Patty: fried as ordered - Side dishes: down-to-earth, homemade - Sauces (for the side dishes): probably mostly homemade or refined - Price: average for good burger shops Price-performance: very good

Simply incredibly delicious. I just find it very expensive. But that's a "matter of taste"

The food is very good. When we ask for ingredients to be changed, they charge us, even though the menu says that they can be changed. The place is very small, there is hardly any place to sit inside. For all these reasons, good food, but somewhat expensive in terms of service.

Freddy Schilling makes the best burgers and fries. What's more, the employees are so friendly. Where else would the employee warn you that you may have ordered too much. I'm like, "It's all good, I'll take the burger with me if necessary and eat it tomorrow." Someone actually put the guest's interests above the store's financial interests. This has become so rare. If I could give 10 stars, I would. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Habibi Burger is no longer on the menu and the portions are simply too small :( Damn

Really happy that I had a really good vegan NewMeat patty on my cheeseburger and not the sad kidney bean/vegetable mush that you often find on vegetarian burgers. It was really good, fries and truffle mayo were also great.

Freddy Schilling is simply delicious! The burgers are fresh, juicy and incredibly well prepared. You can feel the quality of the ingredients in every bite. The homemade sauces and side dishes are a real highlight. The service is quick and friendly, and the atmosphere in the store is relaxed and cool. An absolute must for burger lovers – everything is just right here!

Staff was super friendly and helpful. Almost all the burgers can be gluten free and were very tasty. Also the sweet potato fries had a much better texture than most.

Wer einen guten Burger sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Im Gegensatz zu anderen eher geradlinig und freundlich. So muss es sein.

Great menu with lots of different burger and sandwich options. Both fries are good and salad was fresh. Definitely recommend trying all the dipping sauces including the chipotle mayo.

Great burger. As soon as we are back in Cologne, we will definitely come back!

In my opinion, the best burger in town. But this is largely due to the team at the store! The insider tip are the nuggets with truffle mayo, if you're lucky enough and they aren't sold out yet :b

Great burger and fries, all gluten free. Staff were very friendly, lots of the menu could be made gf and seemed to be very aware of gf requirements

We ordered through Wolt today. Unfortunately the smash burger was very dry. The remaining burgers were delicious. Unfortunately the fries have been changed. The fries used to be very tasty and much larger. Now they are thin little mini fries, more like hard dry “leftovers”. What a shame! Especially for the price!

The habibi burger was the best burger in town. It's a shame you took it out :(

Visited Freddy Schilling again after a few years. Unfortunately not completely convinced this time. The portion was a bit smaller, especially with the goat's peter, and the taste wasn't as fantastic as before. Unfortunately, Bruno's Brenner has been removed from the map. The service is still great and the staff is very friendly. The food also came quickly.

Mega! Also gluten-free and vegan possible, absolutely recommended!

Delicious! Unfortunately there were no toilets despite the dine-in option, but the service was very nice.

Simply a great shop, great service and world-class burgers 🍔

Lovely place, specially the tables outside. Very good food, I ordered the burger with a Gaffel Kolsch to enjoy the adorable atmosphere.

Burger 🍔 tasted great. Interesting variations to choose from. Staff very friendly. Everything happened very quickly too. Seating options inside and outside. Thank you!

Köllefornia was really delicious!

Delicious burger. I think this place sells the best burgers in Cologne. The price is not expensive. A burger, French fries with sauce, and a drink are only 18 euros per person, so I recommend it if the quality is this good. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the texture of the bread and French fries is soft rather than crunchy, but I personally prefer the crunchy texture. But it's definitely a good burger restaurant. The restaurant is not large so there are not many seats. You can sit outside in the summer, but it may be difficult to secure a seat in the winter. The staff are not friendly. It took too long to figure out whether to take orders at the table or at the register.

In my opinion the best burger in Cologne, but what the hell was that today? Burger completely dry and tasteless, sauce forgotten... :(

I ordered smashed cheeseburger and it was delicious. I just expected french fries by side of hamburger :)

The taste is very tasty...the quality of the food is good...the price/performance ratio is right here...will be back

Optionally possible with gluten-free bun. Super tasty sauces. Mega fries. Burgers also tasted very, very good. Super nice employees. Would go here again at any time!!! But no toilet available

It's one of the trendy places here. Really good. Ankara looks like a hoop burger in unity.

Amazing food and very friendly staff.

The burgers and fries are usually delicious and the staff is friendly too. However, it is partly a matter of luck whether the food tastes good. The quality is not consistent. Finally, my burger was completely unsalted and the fries were floury and dripping with fat. There were also more fried crumbs than fries. This has happened a few times. This didn't happen before. There was also an offer to make new fries, but you shouldn't even put them out there. Nowadays you pay significantly more and I no longer find that acceptable. In fact, there is no toilet either.

High-quality food in organic quality (uncharted territory), as we still put our hands into the production ourselves. Fries were very good, the sweet potato fries were particularly well received, which rarely happens otherwise. Friendly crew, completely acceptable waiting time, reasonable price, everything was great. Seating is rare and mostly in front of the door. We were lucky, but waiting while standing seems to be normal. The journey was definitely worth it!

Great offer for veggies and vegans! Cole slaw and sweetpatato fries also highly recommended

Super delicious burgers & fries, all vegan, at fair prices was great!! Thanks!!

Want to go again and try other options!!

The food was quite tasty. It took a really long time to prepare, but it was still okay. The request for a tip of at least 20% was a bit unfriendly.

One of the best vegan burgers in Cologne!

Poor service and chaotic atmosphere.

I like it there. The burgers are delicious, I can get almost any item prepared vegan. Ordering is easy, Staff is friendly, music isn't too loud, chips are crispy what more would I want?

Friday 9:30 p.m. and to ? Opening hours are until 10 p.m. or not?

Honestly the best (chicken) burger in the city!! Plus the place is such a vibe. The service is always friendly too. I’d recommend their crispy chicken burger. I would even say to say they have the best fried chicken in Cologne. Seriously, it was that good hehe 💗

Great burgers with vegan and gluten-free alternatives! A little longer waiting time at popular times and at this location without a toilet.

Yesterday I was here again after a long time. It was really really good again!

Great burger shop, we'll definitely be back. Fries and burgers are simply great! The only drawback may be the waiting time, but it is almost always busy.

Down-to-earth burger joint. Short waiting times, nice outdoor area. Very nice employees. The bugs taste very good. Price/performance okay.

The best burgers in Cologne. In addition to the friendly service, Citizens are simply amazing. Also the vegan version.

No restroom... Pretty sure thats ilegal

I've eaten A LOT of burgers in my time and the Kollefornia (play on California haha) burger I had at Freddy Schilling is one of the juiciest and tastiest I've had. Staff were friendly and even though I didnt speak a word of German, helped to point out the deals that they had. limited seating but great busy atmosphere, watching the guys in the kitchen turn the orders around quickly. If I'm ever in Cologne again, will definitely come back.

I've been coming here for years when I'm in Cologne. Especially because of the gluten-free burger bun variant - a dream in combination with the KKQ sauce. Still one of the tastiest burgers I've eaten.

Went there for the first time yesterday, tried many burger shops in Cologne, mostly nothing special, ate great burgers and great fries here, very friendly staff, TOP!

It is and always will be my number one burger joint. Bruno's distiller with extra cheese. It doesn't take me five minutes to finish it. Nowhere else am I as satisfied every time as I am here, you have to try it once!

Unfortunately not enough seating. Service takes a long time and it makes little sense to accept food by name instead of numbering the tables and doing so. Unfortunately, the portion size is also small

Highly recommended, delicious and good burgers!!

Although the food looked great I’ve had better tasting burgers for cheaper. Was quite a quick wait to get a table though was busy (it’s a sharing tables kind of place) and staff were friendly. Would go back but would order plain fries and a spicer burger if they do one. I ordered the hot honey chicken but had too much honey and too little heat for my tastes.

Also offer gluten-free burgers. Great importance is attached to contamination-free preparation. The burgers also taste very good. Price-wise, it's also completely okay.

Quite okay, good service and good offers in the afternoon.

Always worth a visit. Insane burgers in a manageable variety. I've been there for the third time and I'm still thrilled. The service is friendly and (depending on the company) will check afterwards whether you liked it. For those who like to experiment, the special is always worth a try. The portions are ideal for those who are very hungry and have very tasty side dishes (must be ordered separately). All sauces are homemade and delicious. The burgers are always nice and pink and never too dry. (Not for fans of the grilled to death). Drinks are quite expensive (nothing under 2EUR for 0.3 bottles)(no alcohol). Anyone who wants a quick burger will usually be disappointed. You can easily wait 15 minutes for your order. This is usually due to the 2m queue in front of the entrance door. As expected with such a popular store with only 12 seats inside and 10 seats and standing outside. All in all, an amazing shop. Only my suggestion about a horse burger was rejected. And that was serious.

Heaven for vegetarians and vegans with gluten intolerance. Incredibly good, fresh burgers with delicious sauces and many possible combinations. Cool staff. Always a point of contact when I'm in Cologne.

Small shop. Very tasty food for a reasonable price. Dear service! It's worth it!

Great food freshly cooked. Welcoming staff, very friendly. Raspberry lemonade terrific too. Good range of beers too.

Very tasty, fresh burgers, with a nice selection on the menu! Vegetarian burger patties are also available, but they cost more than the meat version. The fries were very tasty, despite being picked up and therefore transported in the bag. Absolute recommendation if you're hungry, but I don't consider it a full-fledged restaurant, so only 4 stars for the ambience. It still has its charm and I like coming by.

Everything is always perfect here!!! It is definitely worth it!

So ich wahr 2019 da Bester Burger der Welt

Thank heavens for this taste of burgers and fries. In addition, very friendly and attentive employees who served in the cozy awning in the storm and drizzle. Clear recommendation!

Love having burgers here! One of the best burgers in Cologne! I love the Köllefornia!

Was craving a burger and popped in here - so glad I did! Right from the ordering process, the man behind there register was super helpful - very patient with my poor German. The food options are plentiful with beef, chicken, and veggie choices. Also gluten free choices for the buns. The burgers are made fresh as are the fries. They're served hot and well presented! Very generous serving sizes that are more than plentiful. More than enough side dishes to satisfy most cravings with additional sauces available for your fries or whatever. There's both outdoor and indoor seating options. Pictured are a hot honey chicken burger and a veggie burger - with a large order of fries and a mayo sauce for the fries. I will absolutely be back because there's more burgers i want to try!

Very tasty burger. I had the Habibi with sweet potato fries. The staff were very friendly and the decoration is very creative.

Remarkably attentive service and you feel totally welcome even with children. Food was great, several vegetarian or vegan options and the price was completely fair. Absolute recommendation!

Small burger shop with very tasty burgers. The fries are also very tasty 😋 Service was very friendly!

Little burger joint😋 The citizens are really good!!! Few seating options but really tasty 😋 had to eat two because it was really tasty.

Great burgers! In bad weather, seats are limited.

Best burger in Cologne! 😍 Delicious combinations, good quality and there is something for everyone (meat, veggie, vegan). In summer there is a nice terrace, otherwise you can take the delicious burgers with you (always well packaged)!

Unfortunately the new bacon jam fries are nothing, way too salty with the salt on the fries, the roasted bacon and then the sauce on the bacon. The previous version with blue cheese sauce and without that salty bacon jam was worlds better! Please bring them back! Update 2024: the burger buns are not real burger buns, taste like kebab bread.. Unfortunately it doesn't taste as good as it did a year ago.. nothing special in taste anymore, unfortunately!

Great burgers and nice staff. We would love to come back next time we visit Cologne 😊

Große Pommes zum Mitnehmen bestellt und es war nur eine kleine in der Tüte (nicht zum ersten Mal), Patty ziemlich versalzen. Schade.

Came here for the first time on a recommendation and was immediately convinced and didn't regret it. The burger was great, the fries were great, as were the dips. The service was very accommodating and extremely friendly. Eating went really quickly, really well organized with three people behind the counter.

Mega leckere Burger und Pommes. Kann den Smashed und den Crispy Chicken empfehlen. Die Kahuna-Soße und Chiptole-Mayo sind auch super zu den knusprigen Pommes. Das Lokal an sich ist ein Imbiss, also gut zum kurzem hinsetzen, aber eher nicht zum verweilen. Alles in allem eine deutliche Empfehlung!

Very delicious Burgers and great fries! But i really donot like the ambience here. I recommend the food but with delivery or take away :)

Zöliakie Info: Die glutenfreien Buns werden seperat und kontaminationsfrei zubereitet, ich habe mit einem Freund 3 Mal Burger gegessen zwischen Weihnachten und Silvester, einfach ein safe space für Zölis <3 Die Burger und selbstgemachten Pommes haben großartig gemundet :)
