Kullman's Ludwigsburg in Ludwigsburg

Delicious, friendly, everything was great.

We wanted to have a nightcap today. According to Google and the sign at the entrance, it's open until midnight on Saturdays. When we arrived at 11:15 p.m., the shed was already set up and the door was locked.

We went to Kullmanns today, and our visit was a very disappointing experience overall. Upon arrival, we were treated unfriendly. Even though several tables were visibly free and, upon request, hadn't been reserved, they refused to let us sit. Only after discussion were we allowed to sit – but with the absurd condition that we had to return a chair if someone at another table needed one. This was completely illogical and immediately created an unpleasant atmosphere. The service was generally lackluster, inattentive, and unwelcoming. You felt more like a burden as a guest than a welcome one. We searched in vain for friendliness or a smile. Orders were taken reluctantly, and queries were answered curtly or rudely. The atmosphere was also anything but inviting: hectic, disorganized, and devoid of any hospitality. We would have liked to feel comfortable, but instead, it felt more like we were being quickly dismissed.

Very tasty burgers, friendly and quick service, stylish ambience in the style of a classic American diner.

Overall, I really enjoyed it here. Despite a group of 10 people, the service was always quick and often asked if we needed anything else. Prices are perfectly reasonable, but I found some things a bit pricey, like a Milky Way for €7.90, which wasn't exactly huge. Also, the acoustics aren't great. I can recommend the vegetarian or vegan burgers.

Great place to meet up with friends and eat burgers...really delicious ☺️.. I'll definitely be back 👍👍👍

Super friendly staff, but the food wasn't even that good. The burger patties were dry. I had the Angus burger, the others were regular. You can save yourself the extra charge. Neither is particularly special. The salad was okay. For a total of €150 for 5 people, you'd expect more.

Kullman's: A Piece of America at the Train Station On Saturday, September 6, 2025, I had the pleasure of visiting Kullman's, and I have to say: I was completely thrilled with the food. I will definitely be back. Ambience and Location: The restaurant is located directly across from the train station, making it very accessible. Despite its proximity to the hustle and bustle, the outdoor area offers a pleasantly quiet and relaxed atmosphere from which to observe the action. The simple yet comfortable outdoor furniture provides comfort. Inside, the diner concept is perfectly implemented. You immediately feel like you're in an American movie—a very authentic experience. Menu: The menu is extensive and offers something for every taste. At first, the selection may seem a bit overwhelming, but the logical structure helps you quickly find your way around. The selection is clearly inspired by American cuisine: from ribs and pulled pork to steaks and a variety of burgers. The BBQ Platter: I chose the BBQ platter for one person, which included a 120g New York Clubhouse steak, ribs, pulled pork with bacon, a corn on the cob, fries, and a dip of my choice (Sweet & Smokey BBQ Dip). - The New York Clubhouse steak was buttery tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. It had an intense flavor without being overpowered by salt or pepper. It was still slightly pink inside, which was the ideal doneness for me. One small suggestion for improvement: It would be great if they asked for the doneness. - The pulled pork was a real highlight: incredibly juicy and full of flavor. I could have eaten so much more of it. - The ribs were also perfectly cooked. The meat fell off the bone effortlessly and was very juicy. The only thing was that the seasoning was a bit understated compared to the steak and pulled pork, but combined with the dip, that wasn't a problem. - The fries were crispy and perfectly cooked throughout, with no burnt bits. The light seasoning was just right for me. - The corn on the cob was simple but well-prepared, and the little skewer for holding it was a handy touch. - The Sweet & Smokey BBQ Dip completely won me over. It offered a great balance of sweetness and smoky flavor and complemented the platter perfectly. - The accompanying coleslaw rounded off the dish perfectly. Overall, the BBQ platter is very well-balanced in terms of flavor and offers an excellent variety of first-class prepared meats. The portion size was just right – you'll be pleasantly full without feeling overstuffed. Service and value for money: The service was very friendly and attentive from start to finish. Even though I didn't have a reservation, I was seated quickly. The service was prompt, and the food also arrived surprisingly quickly, which was remarkable given the variety on the platter. At around €33 for the BBQ platter and a large Spezi, the value for money is excellent. For the quality of the food, it's truly unbeatable. Conclusion: Kullman's completely won me over. From the authentic atmosphere to the first-class food to the friendly service – the American charm runs like a thread throughout the entire visit. Anyone who loves American cuisine should definitely pay Kullman's a visit. It's worth it! Personally, I will definitely eat here more often and am already looking forward to my next visit. Kullman's is a big thank you to the entire team for the excellently prepared food and great service. Keep up the good work!

Nice attentive service, very good food, fair prices

If 2-3 tables aren't cleared on the way to the restroom, and two waitresses are chatting animatedly behind the counter without even saying hello, that's a real shame. I'm not going there again! Customer service rating: 6.

Huge menu, but 80% of it consists of convenience products. Hard onion rings from the same bag as the mozzarella sticks. Making corn on the cob taste rancid and burnt at the same time is a challenge. The meat was okay, but it was also generic. Pimp up the thawed Kaufland cheesecake from the day before with frozen strawberries, and it's American cheesecake. Iced coffee? Greetings from Krüger. The fully automatic coffee machine at the counter is just decoration. Conclusion: I recommend giving it a wide berth. Go to a small burger joint instead of this mass-produced place.

Authentic 1930s diner. Really good BBQ. Very good value for money. Best to reserve a table.

It was a nice American Diner style with good food and decent prices for the large portions

Good food at a good price. Very friendly service and very attentive.

Not cheap, but very good burger and TOP service 👍🏼

The atmosphere at this diner is truly inviting and cozy. The menu offers a wide selection of classic dishes, all beautifully prepared. The spare ribs, in particular, are simply delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel completely at home. Overall, it's a great place for a relaxed meal with friends or family.

When we arrived, the restaurant was about 40% full. We asked for a seat under a fan. The lady (short blonde hair) said they were all reserved 🤣 but then she apparently realized how ridiculous that statement was (as I said, there were tons of empty tables) and gave us one anyway. It should be noted that while we were there, these tables remained empty, and those who came and had reserved were seated elsewhere. The waitress (dark hair and glasses) was friendly, but only came to take our order and pay. We didn't ask if everything was okay or if we wanted anything else. We specifically ordered the nachos with the drinks and the main course later so that the nachos would be served as an appetizer. Of course, the appetizer and main course came together. What nonsense! The main course was then taken away and placed under a heat lamp. The fries were soggy afterward. About the food itself: The nachos were tasteless. The cheese on top wasn't crispy, but rather runny. The cheese tasted cheap. There were no wet wipes for the cheese-filled hands either. Macaroni and cheese had no flavor. The pulled pork on top was good, but not much. The burger was okay, but nothing special. You pay €11 for 1.5 liters of bottled water. Recommendation: A definite NO

Burger was very good. Unfortunately we had to wait a little longer for the re-orders, but otherwise everything was perfect

The food was excellent, although the side dish could have been a bit more generous. The burger was excellent and the service was great. I'd definitely go back!

I’m totally disappointed about their attention, I felt full disrespect from the waitress, she twisted her eyes to us when we mispronounced sth. I felt unsafe. The Food was still good but I can’t give u a good feedback when we received this kind of manner.

Ordered and picked up a burger because I was staying at the hotel next door. It was too loud and crowded for me, which was more to do with the time (Saturday evening). Very tasty and the portion size was perfect. The staff were friendly when I picked it up.

Arriving in Ludwigsburg by train and stopping at Kuhlmann (almost) at the station leads to culinary delights. Excellent service, excellent waitresses, and a variety of delicacies from the kitchen. Highly recommended, though a bit pricey for an out-of-towner, says Gerald from ReiseTravel.eu.

Good food but sadly the very bad service and attitude from a waitress ruined the lunch

We were there today - placed an order, and after an hour, we didn't get any food. When we asked the waiter, we were told he would look into it. We never received a response... twice in a row. But it was nice of the waitress to simply accept the cancellation.

Amazing food, just the way you want it, with huge portions. You'll be 100% full, and the team is fantastic.

Delicious burgers! Both smashed and classic, they're excellent. Prices and service are reasonable.

First of all... the restaurant really deserves at least 4 stars. Now to the point why, in my personal opinion, it only got 2. Yesterday, 10 of us were there for Ribs Day and drove a good 130 km. It's well located; there's a large parking garage practically across the street with plenty of spaces, and after 7 p.m., there's even some free parking on the street. I had called about a week before and asked how things would work for us to come next week for the all-you-can-eat spare ribs. The friendly, very young-sounding lady asked, but for some reason, she asked about the all-you-can-eat chicken wings on Wednesday. When she came back on the phone, I corrected her and told her I was asking about the all-you-can-eat spare ribs on Monday. I went back and asked about the chicken wings again. They said you have to make a reservation online. So I just left it at that. So I went back to the website to find out more, and it also said that Ribs Day was only available by reservation. So I reserved a table for us. When we got our table and went to order, we said we all wanted the ribs. After the waitress checked, she said that a reservation alone wouldn't be enough. I felt like I'd been ripped off, because nowhere did it say please indicate that you're coming for the all-you-can-eat option. They only ever talked about a reservation, both on the website and on the phone, saying that you have to make a reservation. I think that's a shame, because the food was delicious, the price/performance ratio was right, and the staff were generally very friendly, which is why I gave it an extra star in my review. Nevertheless, something like that makes the whole visit anything but satisfying. Nevertheless, I would in good conscience say that a visit to Kullmann's would be worthwhile if they advertised things like this better.

We always enjoy coming here, it tastes delicious and the service is great

There was a table outside, but it was closed. The waitress didn't want to open the table, even though the inside was full. The excuse was that it might start to rain. But the table was under the awning and was dry after the rain. Completely absurd. Deserves a 0.

Completely unacceptable service. We sat at our table for 10-15 minutes without anyone paying attention to us—no menus, no questions asked. Meanwhile, a table right next to us, which arrived later, was served perfectly normally. When I politely asked for the menu, the woman (blonde, short-haired, middle-aged) responded with a dismissive and annoyed tone. If this kind of behavior is considered "hospitality," something is seriously wrong. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone. We immediately got up and left.

I was at Kullman's in Ludwigsburg today, and overall, it was a very successful visit. The food was really delicious – especially the ribs, which are available on "Ribs Day" (Mondays), are highly recommended! I think the concept of special days is great and offers a nice change. The service was friendly and courteous, but could be a bit more attentive – especially when it gets busy. The ambiance is okay, typical American diner style, cozy enough for a relaxed evening. The restrooms were clean, but they could check more often – little things like paper towels or the smell sometimes make all the difference. The value for money is definitely good; you get good portions at fair prices. All in all, a recommended place for burgers, ribs, and the like – I'd be happy to come back, especially on one of the special days!

Very nice diner. Great atmosphere. Decent food. Good lunch.

Service is mostly good, sometimes inattentive

The hamburger was ordinary. I liked the atmosphere. The prices were a bit high.

Unfriendly staff, I had to wait a long time for my drink. It arrived when I'd almost finished eating. The food was okay, and the drink was delicious. I wouldn't go there again. And I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

~Eating is a necessity, enjoying is an art~ Hi everyone, five of us ate at Kullman's Diner and it was very pleasant! The place was incredibly beautiful, with American decor, which I personally love. To drink, we ordered three homemade lemonades, a cocktail, and a beer. The drinks were very fresh and delicious! For dinner, we had a chili burger with a side dish and American toast. We also had chicken wings with spicy barbecue sauce and cheese sticks in the middle. The food was delicious! The service was very friendly and chatty. Kullman's Diner is just a blast👍🏻

Solid, but with room for improvement. The ambiance is cool, and the concept is right – a typical American diner. Service was friendly, but a bit slow at times. The food was okay, but nothing special – the value for money was just about acceptable. Okay for an occasional visit, but not a must-have.

An American style diner with a good menu, good service, and reasonable prices.

Very delicious food. Fast and friendly service, and short wait times for the food. Cozy atmosphere :) Very large selection on the menu. Highly recommended!

A very good restaurant for any burger lover. The staff are super friendly and super quick with orders, even when the place is full. The food is really good, and the portions are more than filling. There are more than enough parking spaces nearby, both on the street and in the parking garage. We'll be back.

Unfortunately I don't understand the positive comments. 15€ for a Caesar salad, the lettuce leaves were not fresh and half the lettuce stalk was also in the salad? The bread served with it tasted like rusks and was just as hard in consistency. That was the first and last time.

Great atmosphere Great service Awesome food

Always great service. Food tastes good too.

Gastro outside not possible at 18 degrees and sun not possible because the food would be cold…

The food was excellent and it was pretty quick to get there. Staff very friendly! All in all, highly recommended.

The food is good, the selection is ok, the staff is friendly but slightly stressed

So far the best American restaurant in the area. It is American style which I find very nice and cozy. It is advisable to make reservations, especially in the evenings and on weekends. The food is very tasty. A parking garage is available, but for a fee. Otherwise you can park in the residential area for a fee. Finding street parking can be a bit more difficult on certain days.

We waited 35 minutes to order and over an hour for our food. The wings were so-so, but the dips were a disgrace. Sour cream only tastes like butter, honey mustard is just sweet mustard and the toilet paper is thicker than ketchup.

Everything is always great. I was there with 12 other people and we ordered a lot. Our food arrived shortly. Sure, we had to wait a bit, but that's understandable with 12 people who all want to eat at the same time. The food there is so mega, bombastic!

People here try to play very high with mediocre food. Apparently with success

I highly recommend to avoid this restaurant. The experience having a meal with friends at this place was very sad. The manager and part of the staff had unfriendly and rude manners, frequently ignoring our table as well. It definitely felt discriminatory and I agree with other people commenting on this. They were unwilling to serve basic customer service requests and didn't care at all about them. The guy welcoming and allocating customers to the table was the only person actually caring and providing a good service.

Very great service. Very attentive. Food was good, drinks too. Highly recommended!

Nice American diner from the Kullmann-s chain in Ludwigsburg... top food, service too. . Gladly again 😀👍

Simply TOP... Highly recommended...

Delicious food and great service! Price/performance great!

Unfriendly service, average food

Very tasty food, great service and great ambience (typical American diner)

delicious diner! tender spare ribs... unfortunately Hot&Spicy is not spicy... small portions for my taste...

Delicious burgers and good homemade iced tea. Very friendly staff, and even when the shop is busy, everything moves very quickly.

Was very tasty. I really liked the location. (According to the location) The homemade iced tea was delicious and the egg burger is also recommended. I will definitely come back here.

Very tasty, fast service, and a relaxed atmosphere. We'd gladly return.

We've been here several times, and the experience has always been solid and professional. Unfortunately, the food arrived at completely different times. The quality of the burgers was also very poor. The meat was dry, and the burgers lacked any sauce and were generally very dry. Unfortunately, given the quality, I wouldn't recommend it at this time.

Very nice place. We had a smashed burger, chili cheese fries, a brownie (with brownie topping), and a vanilla milkshake + two drinks. Everything was delicious and more than reasonably priced. €40-50 is enough for two people to be full and happy. Highly recommended!

Really amazing steak with awesome chimichurri!!

An all-round successful meal. Very nice, courteous service, a really tasty burger and a matching ambience. The lunch menu is also highly recommended. Price/performance is just right here.

Tolles Ambiente, nette Bedienung und leckeres Essen im USA Style.Alle Gerichte sind lecker.Cocktails kommen immer drauf an was man bestellt

Very good food. Reasonable prices.

really good food. Great ribs, steaks and entrees. It's not our first time here and we will definitely come again

The staff of Kullman's is racist. We had been here with a bigger group earlier, and had liked the food. I don't remember my previous experience being this bad with the waiting staff. But this time, we were treated very weirdly, almost ignored. Absolutely did not expect this kind of behavior in 2025.

We immediately reserved a table via Google. The service was quick and friendly. Food was very good. Not a long wait. Clear recommendation

Totally overwhelmed at a concert in the MHP Arena... you should know the dates. Too bad...

Was there for the first time. Top gastronomy! The girls behind and in front of the counter are not only a feast for the eyes, but really on their toes. It was great, I'll definitely be back!

I had a family platter of Wings & Tenders for €21.90 (French fries would be included in the price, after which you'll be well full) and the fries with 3 toppings for €7.90. Great value for money. Gladly again! In any case better than the current rating of 4.2 stars.

Just close 1 hour before closing time

Food was quite good. Unfortunately a bit loud at times.

Highly recommended. I had a burger with fries and finally an ice cream. Super friendly staff. The diner was packed. This also makes it very loud.

Nice location, centrally located. Service quick and friendly. Unfortunately, 5 of us had to sit at a table of 4 - as there are hardly any larger tables available. Food was very good and the burger selection is large. Plus many other things too. Unfortunately there is only one white and red wine on the menu, which is just ok.

I can only recommend it, the service was great and the diner looks really great, nice decor. The food was very tasty and it didn't take long to arrive. Keep it up👍🏼

Terrific! Highly recommended, staff was very accommodating and friendly!!!

Very tasty food, good quality, drinks are also very tasty and the price is appropriate for the service. However, for very large eaters it needs to be weighed up. For me, 400g of steak and a portion of fries were simply not enough (1.94 for 97.5kg).

Very great atmosphere, great offer and really tasty!

Anyway, I will visit more often! Delicious food!

Happy to have brunch there on Sundays. But drinks are expensive.

Had dinner there with a group yesterday. It was a bit noisy, but otherwise everything was great. My steak was excellent. Only recommended.

Mega nice service, great service, good food. Always happy ✌️

If you want to eat here in the evening at peak times, you should make a reservation no matter what day it is. The food is delicious, we've tried many things before. The drinks are delicious and well mixed. The dessert is also very good. The service is a young team and they do their job well. It's a bit louder, it's more of a dinner place after all :-). There are several parking garages in the area and a few parking spaces next door, on the street. All of this is subject to a fee. We can recommend Kullmans. If you want to eat American food and also want to get the feeling, this is the right place for you!

Always delicious and authentic, never disappointed.

We went to Kullman's Diner again for a birthday after many years. At the end of the evening we immediately knew why we hadn't been there for so many years. Unfortunately, as soon as we entered the location, we were not greeted very friendly at reception. The condition quickly waved its hands upwards, presumably to signal to us that it either didn't have the time or didn't feel like it. We were quickly taken to our reserved place. At this point the cards were carelessly slapped onto the table instead of being presented to us properly. We ordered two “The Pulled Pork Eggmax”, one “Kullman’s Pulled Pork and Fries” as well as the “Kullman’s BBQ Plate” for one person and the “South Carolina Cheesy Chicken” burger. There was also one person of sweet potato fries and two portions of onion rings. I was particularly pleased that four people received their food, while the fifth person had to wait for their food and only received it when they asked the waitress about the food. Apparently it was forgotten. When this person got their food, the first people had already finished eating and all those who were waiting were able to enjoy cold food. The chicken burger and onion rings were very tasty and the honey mustard dip on the BBQ platter was also well received Unfortunately there was only ketchup at the table with the fries. When we left the diner we noticed that there was mayonnaise on the other tables too. It would have been very nice if our table had been set like the other tables. Unfortunately, the pulled pork tasted almost exclusively like BBQ sauce and hardly any meat. The spare ribs were very lean and we were very happy to have ordered the BBQ platter and not just the ribs. The coleslaw advertised as a side dish came served in a small glass. The amount was about 2 forkfuls. So if you don't order an additional side dish, you definitely won't get full here. Unfortunately, the corn on the cob on the BBQ plate has never seen salt or herb butter beforehand, but perhaps this should be the case. The drinks came very quickly, but the Pepsi is not recommended. Unfortunately it almost only tastes like water, not really like Pepsi. Even when the drink was replaced with a new one, this didn't improve. Even though there was a lot going on that evening and, given the current wave of illnesses, staff were probably absent, we would have liked someone to at least come to the table and ask whether we would like to order something else. The diner is also very loud on a busy night, making it very difficult to have a conversation. The music in the background was therefore barely noticeable. It was very warm in the diner, almost too warm, while the toilets were very cold. Neither comfortable to go to the toilet nor to change a baby's diaper. The prices in the diner are not too high, but they correspond to the quality of the food and some drinks. We paid €136.50 for 5 people, which is of course inexpensive by current standards, but this reflects the quality of the food and the entire evening. We definitely won't be coming back and can't recommend Sam Kullman's Diner.

We've been there a few times, after basketball games. Super centrally located, right next to the MHP Arena and the train station. The food and drinks are solid, which is what you would expect in an American diner, but not particularly great. As is often the case, we were served by an older lady with short hair and, as always, very arrogant and rude. This time we even noticed how she put her employees down and bossed them around, even though she wandered around uncoordinated and let the others do the hard work. Out of curiosity, I also looked at other reviews, apparently not an isolated case. It's incomprehensible how someone like that can still be employed. However, the boss is super nice and personable. Unfortunately we don't come often because the lady in question ruins the whole charm.

I've been coming to Kullman's regularly for years. The restaurant is centrally located and has American furnishings. The food always tastes good and offers a large selection. We never had to wait long for food or service. The staff is always in a great mood and very attentive. It's always fun coming here.

Great American Dinner food. Fair prices and great service. Conveniently right out side train station .

A perfect Saturday evening can look something like this: #1 managed to get a table for my girls and I after the game, #2 brilliantly delicious burgers & deli sides without a long wait despite the full place, and #3 all of this at a mega-fair price Price. Just as.

Was turned away at reception with three children because I was told that a reservation was required. There were free tables and the lady was noticeably unfriendly. 3 minutes later my husband asked the same waitress for a table for 5 people. The table was made available to him for 3 hours. We went somewhere else. The above-mentioned person already attracted attention last time with her unfriendly demeanor. Unfortunately, the service is not yet American

I was in Ludwigsburg with my girlfriend for 2 days and came across it by chance. We are very enthusiastic about the food, the service and the ambience. We enjoyed it so much that we will definitely come back :) Thank you for the lovely evening

Great food, great memories and great service! Was there very often. Both food and drink. I've only ever eaten burgers there, but they were very tasty and, if I may put it so cheekily, a real treat. I can only recommend it to everyone. The bartender is a man of honor!

Very good, homemade dishes (pulled pork for example), prices absolutely fair, staff on their toes! This is how an American diner should be. Gladly again!

Good burgers, appealing atmosphere. Service was very quick, but I was there at 5:30 p.m. Reservation essential.

The food was ok, but nothing you really have to go to Ludwigsburg for. Service was catastrophically unfriendly and we had to wait about 30 minutes until we got the cards and 15 minutes before we could order

Service was really nice and quick, the burgers were very tasty and not too big, as were the side dishes and dessert. 👍🏻

Very tasty burgers, nice staff and good advice when choosing. Only recommended.
