Hornochse in Köln

I was there yesterday with a friend, more or less by chance, and it was great. Fast, uncomplicated service; the chili burger and sweet potato fries were amazing. I also liked that they offer two sizes, 110g and 180g. The 110g burger was just right for how hungry I was 😋 The food was fresh and came quickly. Overall, highly recommended 👌

Unfortunately, after the apparent change of ownership, we can no longer recommend this place. We were very disappointed: The burgers lacked flavor, the bun was cold (not toasted), and the dips (a small teaspoon of each dip) were quite expensive at €1.50 each. The sweet potato fries were hot and crispy but unsalted. The flavorless truffle mayo, the tasteless burger sauce, and the meat were completely unseasoned and tasted watery. We paid almost €50 for two double burgers WITHOUT drinks, two dips, and one sweet potato fries. We also waited a full 36 minutes for our food, even though there were only eight customers with us. Clearly, there's too much "takeaway" sales via various delivery services, which seem to take priority over the customers in the restaurant. We won't be back.

Very good and tasty food Great service

A good burger quality compared to the other alternatives

I was very disappointed. 😕 The staff was lackluster, and the hamburger was just as lackluster prepared...and all that for a whopping €11. It used to be much better and tastier. I can't recommend it. I won't be seeing you again.

You can get super delicious burgers and fries here, the prices are reasonable, there's plenty of seating, and from what I've heard, you can also order your food via Uber Eats. I can highly recommend this place.

Great place, delicious burgers, great fries, and extremely friendly staff! I'd go back anytime 🫶🏼

Never before have I eaten such delicious food and been served so nicely. MAAAAX 🤌🏼

I'm beyond thrilled. Extremely friendly staff, incredibly delicious burgers, and a cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely be back!

Very tasty. When we were there, it wasn't crowded and the service was quick. Good fries and burgers.

Super shop highly recommended but a bit expensive but still awesome

We ordered through Lieferando, so we didn't go into the restaurant. When we placed our order, the delivery time was stated as 15-35 minutes. Initially, it said the order would arrive in 30 minutes. After about 15 minutes, the delivery time was repeatedly extended by 5 minutes. In the end, we waited an hour and 10 minutes for our food. When the food finally arrived, we were pretty disappointed. We paid €5 for the fries and €6.50 for the sweet potato fries, but we got a very small portion of regular fries in an unsealed paper cup. The sweet potato fries were in the same package as the burger, which contained meat. We also ordered a vegan burger, so the fact that the fries were included with the meat burger was somehow not very well thought out. We also ordered onion rings, which also came in an unsealed paper cup. All in all, it looked incredibly careless and simply thrown together. The food tasted great, especially the burgers. Unfortunately, both fries were a bit soggy, especially the sweet potato fries. The food was already completely cold... Considering we paid almost €45 for two burgers, two fries, and onion rings, it was more than disappointing. I would actually never order there again, but I might eat a burger there...

Great Burgers and friendly service

Very cool shop I'd love to come back :)

Great burgers, sauces and fries, it doesn't get any better than this.

Awesome burger made with love... 1A

I arrived four minutes before closing time, and they still gave me a call. How nice.

Best service best burger in town !!

Unfortunately, they've declined significantly, but prices have increased. It used to be my favorite burger, but now it's more of a lower-middle-range burger, which is a shame.

very good food, especially the fries

Expensive chip shop... You order, say no pickles, please, because I'm allergic. Show it on the menu, answer: "There aren't any pickles on it, how did you figure that?" Show the menu, "It says here." He says, "No, no, that's wrong, they're pickled onions." I'm OK. Burger with pickles and no onions, everything tasted just okay.

Sooo delicious fries! Wow …and the salad was also very fresh and delicious

I was there yesterday, and the little boy was amazing. Overall, the place looks nice. The food was delicious. Highly recommended.

I'd be happy to go back. Nice atmosphere and large portions.

Tastes as always – super delicious! Despite the new owner, everything has remained top-notch. Nice service, friendly, and fast. A large and good selection for vegetarians, too. I'll be back!

Very tasty, fresh burgers… attentive, friendly service

Very, very friendly staff, delicious burgers

I was very impressed by the service and the food, which I highly recommend. Especially the little boy who was very attentive.

The burgers were delicious. We'll be back :)

Very nice team! The food came quickly and was super delicious. The chicken burger is highly recommended :)

Really delicious food and friendly staff.👍

everything was clean and the food was delicious

Delicious vegan burger! Very friendly and fast service!

The food was very tasty and the staff was also very nice

Burgers 10 out of 10 Fries 10 out of 10 Everything is great and I can only recommend it

I had the "Royal Burger". Super tasty! Juicy and well-roasted meat. Also a really big portion. The fries were great. I haven't eaten fries like this in a really long time! Only the (ready-made?) mayo was a bit tasteless. But I didn't actually need any sauce for the delicious fries :). The preparation was quick and the staff was super nice. Definitely worth repeating ♡.

They were better much earlier. I've known her for 10 years. Now it's just cold food, lots of mayo and ketchup! People aren't nice and polite either! I no longer recommend it

Incredibly good vegetarian burger. Had the one with the mushroom patty. Great seating options. Priced well too.

Food was great, highly recommended!

The children's hamburgers were really worth crying. I can't even manage them that badly at home. The supposedly homemade mayo is like a thick salad sauce "disgusting". For €1, free would be asking too much. Ketchup for €1, it's just ketchup, so the price isn't entirely justified. However, I can understand that they are so expensive, there were 4 people behind the counter. There was a folding sign in front of the door that said €11 for a hamburger and a drink, i.e. a menu. We were then told in the store that it was not valid on public holidays. Then you can't display it either. They lure customers in and then say they have to order something else.

Ambience of a snack bar, tables were very dirty. The food went like this, the burger patties were very well cooked even though they were ordered medium, not really warm and there wasn't enough sauce.

Very nice atmosphere, great service and incredibly delicious food. Price performance is also absolutely great. A visit is highly recommended

Very good concept, I ate it and it was delicious. I advise you to go.

There was nothing going on around half past four in the afternoon, Easter holidays? Lots of space, friendly service, delicious food. Unusual burger creations other than the standard ham and cheese burgers. Interesting lamp installations. If you come by car you have to be creative or resourceful when parking, right in the middle of Nippes...

Fatima was excellent and Mother Fatmas Yuki sauce was pretty original! The hamburger was super tasty !!! Viva Kurdistan Viva Maroc!!! Plus I got a free beer

Very good burger, medium grilled as requested and everyone enjoyed it very much.

Best burger place ever Juicy meat, fluffy buns, creative combinations, everything to the point. Crispy fries, homemade sauces, top service. You can taste the attention to detail. Absolute recommendation, I'll definitely come back

High quality meat and very good service, can only be recommended.

(DELIVERY AND ORDER, I WAS NOT ON SITE) Ordered at 5:59 p.m., delivered at 7:44 p.m. - lukewarm, consistency soggy and crumbled apart. And €18.27, of which €5.99 were delivery costs. Won't order again. Even one star is too much for the delivery time. What it's like on site - I have no idea. But I would refrain from ordering. The burger was okay, apart from the things mentioned earlier. Good in terms of taste and composition, but unfortunately overshadowed by the almost 2 hour waiting time without any information. The first information was "in about 20 minutes" and then it settled down. I actually wanted to do something with friends afterwards, then wrote at 6:16 p.m. that it would be delivered in about 19 minutes - because that's what it said to me. At :29 I was shown 20 minutes. At some point it goes up to 30 minutes, temporarily to 50, then down again and then up again. And all of this without any information from Hornochse himself. No call, no nothing. Even though my cell phone number was included with the order. I won't come by and order what a stupid thing again Oh, and if the team is reading this: only an informed customer can show understanding

Super tasty food, very good iced tea and very nice service 5/5 If I'm in Cologne again I'll 100% come back. Greetings from Bavaria, somewhere between Nuremberg and Regensburg :)

Best burger I've eaten in a long time! Super nice employees

Very very tasty citizens and friendly, very nice staff. The atmosphere is also great. I can only recommend it.

Their burgers are great and fries are tasty!

Extra sausages were very kindly taken into account when ordering

Fatima is the best! Top service and food!

I don't even know where to begin. This was honestly the worst experience I've ever had with burgers. The sauces on the burgers were runny and tasteless. The meat was unseasoned. The menu said Ricola, but the burger had Salad Rosso or something like that on it. The chicken in the chicken burger tasted watery. I'd rather not even think about the fries anymore. They were lukewarm with an equally tasteless truffle sauce. Apart from that, after 5 minutes a large puddle of oil had formed in the bowl, which made the fries soggy. The only good thing was the doneness, which was as requested. However, I would never go to this place again. For €36 for 2 small burgers, 1 pair of fries, and 2 drinks, I expect much more than what we got. I wish I'd taken pictures of the food to add as proof.

Super delicious and Fatima served us very kindly!

Very tasty burger! I can recommend it to anyone looking for a good burger in Cologne

We have been eating on site or picking up food for a few years now. We are more than satisfied every time. The staff is extremely friendly. Each burger is available with meat or vegetarian, which makes it almost unique. I can recommend pretty much everything here 😃

Food came fast and staff was really sweet:) tasted nice

Absolutely recommended!!! Great food, very friendly young staff, great value for money and a cozy atmosphere. Great location right at the Florastraße stop. I'll definitely be back.

We were there at lunchtime today and left full, satisfied and happy. We were greeted very warmly on site. The burgers were delicious. For me it's the best burger in town. The fries, whether sweet potato or normal fries, both on the 1st level.

Nice atmosphere, super tasty burgers, and extremely friendly staff. Highly recommended 👍

The food is simply top notch!! The best burger in all of Cologne. The fries were also very tasty and I can only recommend them to everyone.

Super delicious veggie burgers! Highly recommended 👌🏻

Great staff. Delicious burgers. And ask about all the specials off the menu! 🙃

Food was very tasty. The best burger I've ever eaten. Everything is vegetarian possible. Good service from Haci

Very, very tasty citizens, super friendly team Keep it up 👍 the prices are great 👍

My family and I had various burgers and gratinated and normal fries. Everything was freshly prepared and very tasty. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. However, it was a bit loud because it was very full... which ultimately speaks for the place.

Very nice staff and delicious food

Unfortunately it declined significantly after the change of ownership. The shop used to be one of the better addresses for good burgers, but unfortunately we won't be coming back. The burgers were relatively cold, despite being freshly prepared. In the vegan burger, the mushroom patty was tiny. The fries were quite ok. Prices have remained fairly stable on a positive note. However, the store overall does not appear to be well maintained. The toilets were only moderately clean.

For 8 years since I discovered this burger gem, I have been a loyal customer and have recommended the shop as the best I know and my favorite shop to anyone who asked. Unfortunately, I can no longer say this since the change of ownership because too much has changed for the worse. The quality of the meat seems to be different, not to mention the seasoning because there doesn't seem to be much there. There are also other rolls that don't fulfill what they're supposed to in terms of quality or taste. I think raising the prices and at the same time lowering the quality in order to increase the margin will have a negative impact on the store in the long term and will not contribute to the long existence of the restaurant. The renovation inside and the ambience are unfortunately more of a catalog style and lack character compared to before. Sadly, it seems I'll have to find a new burger joint.

Alles gutt.gute atmosfore freundlich. Schone und schmekte hamburger sehr lekker!!! Alles gute mfg.... Dankeschone

Super tasty, as always. Fast and very friendly staff. A full recommendation from me.

Super tasty burger and very friendly staff. Food was on the table quickly, even though the place was full. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, the quality has deteriorated significantly. Burgers used to be really tasty. The last time I was there, the meat was hardly salted, iceberg lettuce and watery tomatoes actually spoiled the taste. Everything was lukewarm including fries. I'm going to step away from this store for a while now. We spent €50 there for 2 burgers, 2 fries and 2 drinks and unfortunately the food was not edible. Service is very friendly.

You definitely can't say anything wrong, the food is great, the staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is just amazing

For Valentine's Day there were pink buns and they were very tasty Will recommend you further

Was at hornochsen for the first time, was very impressed, great food, nice service

Pink burger buns for Valentine's Day, that was a surprise 🥰 The service was super nice, the burgers were super tasty. More than just recommended... So off to the horny oxen, you oxen🐂 😉

It was really tasty, I'll come back when I'm in Cologne 👍

Unfortunately there is no table service, which makes it difficult to eat in larger groups, but this is not a problem in smaller groups. It didn't bother us. The burgers were super tasty, the fries were crispy, the sauces were delicious 👍🏻 If we were in Cologne more often we would come regularly. All burgers can also be ordered vegetarian. There is even a small selection of vegan burgers. Had both a meatless and also one with meat. Both were on point. The ambience is functional and the shop is inconspicuous. You don't notice the store from the outside if you don't know it. But I can recommend the Hornochsen without hesitation.

Very tasty, I recommend you try their citizens

I come here often :) The food is fresh, delicious and the employees are very friendly. See you next time! :)

Best burger shop in Cologne. I love the parmesan croquettes with the truffle mayo 😍😍 Always worth a visit.

With all my love, today we had a bad experience. In my opinion, a waiting time of 55 minutes with a small number of people is not justifiable. There is no way to order your food as a menu, which drives up the price enormously. If it had been tasty I wouldn't say anything. Only the sweet potato fries were well baked and completely over salted, the smash burger I ordered wasn't "smashed" but just fried normally. The size of the portion was more or less for the hollow tooth. And all of this for a bargain price of 52 euros for 2 burgers, 2 fries, 2 drinks and 3 small parmesan “sticks” that tasted like raw dough. Unfortunately not such a good tip

Delicious delicious delicious delicious

Burger was really tasty and the price of €10 for the lunch menu is mega! Your "handful" of fries is perfect for lunch and more than enough

Very nice staff, very, very tasty food and fast service.

Nice atmosphere and very nice staff, service was top and the taste was an explosion in the mouth

Nice atmosphere and good food! Definitely worth a visit!!

Nice and cozy shop with very nice and attentive people who run it. I'm happy to be there or order something in advance and then pick it up. My tip: tomato cheese fries Keep it up!

During a visit to Cologne we stopped at the Hornochsen. It was super tasty and cozy. My Kölefornia Burger was awesome!!!

Super delicious! Highly recommended for delicious burger enjoyment!

Nice people, super delicious food

Super tasty burgers, can recommend it

Friendly staff and delicious fresh burgers

Super friendly staff. Delicious burgers and fries. I can recommend it to everyone 🙏👍

Delicious burgers and fries. Very friendly staff and very nice location, will definitely come again 👍

Very tasty burgers and side dishes. Have ordered or eaten there several times. The last time I ordered I had special requests and I also received something as a gift. ❤️
