James Dean Sports Bar in Karlsruhe

Very tasty food! Highly recommended of course. Good service

And again I am surprised by the weekly food, homemade and for fair prices

As a bar, it's definitely okay, but the food isn't good! We had lunch here several times for work (with four people) and wouldn't go back privately. Positive: The young lady who served us was enthusiastic and friendly, and there wasn't something on the TV in the background the whole time. The schnitzel and salad were quite okay. Negative: Everything else. Even the walk to the bar was dirty, run-down, and disgusting. The whole bar smelled of cigarette smoke. The older waitress was unmotivated and unpolite, the burgers were extremely dry (there was no sauce on them, just a minimal amount of ketchup OR a tiny bit of mustard), and the bread was so dry it looked like it was two weeks old. The patties, both veggie and meat, were also very dry. I've never eaten such bad burgers, and the price wasn't even particularly good. The fries had to be ordered extra hot, because the first time we had them, they were already cold when they arrived. The soup was oversalted and tasted awful. When we tried to order spaghetti Bolognese, they simply said they were out of it, even though it was on the menu. Plus, everything took quite a while considering it was just reheated and not really fresh. I think you'd be better off using one of the snack bars outside.
