La Marian in Köln

Small but perfectly formed. The food was excellent and our requests were accommodated. A very cozy atmosphere; since we were there at the end of the tourist season, there were plenty of seating options. Advance reservations are recommended. The service was excellent and always friendly, with a smile on their faces. Overall, I highly recommend it.

The burger at the Black Angus XL Steakhouse was truly excellent. Juicy meat, fresh ingredients, and a rich grilled flavor. The fries were also very good. Generous portions and perfectly prepared. Highly recommended for burger fans!

A perfectly cooked 500-gram steak – cooked to perfection, medium, and accompanied by excellent service. A treat for true steak lovers.

Service and food was excellent thank you Viyana.

There's no soap in the men's restroom, and even after being reminded, the soap isn't refilled. The faucet is also broken. Kölsch is served in 0.5-liter pilsner glasses.

I am shocked and deeply disappointed by the quality of the meat in your restaurant. Some of the meat was raw and some was completely burnt—completely inedible! It was tough, tasteless, and an absolute disaster. For the price you charge, I expect at least edible quality. This kind of product is a disgrace to your restaurant! I demand immediate quality control measures, or I will make this public to warn other customers!

The steak was very good, cooked to perfection, and flavorful. The rosemary potatoes were truly delicious, and the grilled broccoli with garlic was also a highlight. The service was very friendly and attentive. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable visit!

The food was not bad, but I don’t know if it’s worth the price of admission. They will try to add things like ketchup, mayo, etc and not mention the additional cost. We did have a celebrity appearance by none other than the famous Disney chef, Remi, but It seems that may be typical for the area, not the restaurant. Not a bad experience, but I don’t plan on going back.

Delicious food and a lively atmosphere with dynamic music. A great place to spend time with friends or colleagues. The vibe is fun and welcoming, making it perfect for an enjoyable night out. Highly recommend!

Very good food and friendly people! 👍👍👍🌴😎🌴

We went there for dinner yesterday and were a bit skeptical at first, as the prices are quite high. But the food is definitely worth it. We both had a rum steak with side dishes and a salad and garlic bread for starters. What can I say? AMAZING... the meat melts in your mouth, and everything else was super delicious too. It's definitely not for those on a tight budget, but it's highly recommended.

Very good piece of meat. I would go there again. 6 times 👍

Actually, everything was okay overall, but the food is overpriced or the portions are too small, depending on how you look at it. I ate a sad grill plate for 30 euros. Elsewhere, you get twice that.

Steakhouse Review The steakhouse impresses with a truly outstanding taste experience – the meat was perfectly seasoned and of high quality. Unfortunately, the food was a bit too cold on our visit, which somewhat spoiled the experience. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, and we felt well looked after. However, the tables are slightly crooked, which slightly reduces comfort. A noticeable sewer smell was also disturbing at times, which spoiled the atmosphere. Overall, you can certainly eat well there, but be aware that the prices are quite ambitious. Those who value excellent taste and can overlook minor inconveniences will still be satisfied.

My experience at Black Angus XL Steakhouse: The food was absolutely subpar for a fast-food restaurant. The schnitzel was tasteless, the fries were soft, unseasoned, and poorly served. Even if everything were half price, it would still be too expensive. I can't recommend the place and would like to protect others from such negative experiences.

Food high price (around 50e for a steak) and low quality (definitely not worth even 30e). Waiters friendly, atmosphere average

My boyfriend booked this place coz of the high reviews. I was skeptical and I am hard to please but when we arrived but my skepticism was out of order coz it was great. Service was spot on (especially thanks to Sarbast) food was good. Glad we ate here for my birthday

Great place, warm outdoor seating, great service and delicious food. Thank you ❤️

Steakhouse in the center of Cologne. A bit crowded, and the meat isn't exceptional.

Amazing steak cooked to perfection, lovely, friendly staff. Great menu choices in German, Dutch & English.

Delicious sirloin steak and excellent customer service. Will definitely be back

Grilled Meat till perfection! The meat is perfectly grillede with a beatiful grilled flavior. Only thing we misses is that the wegetables got 1 minute on the grillede as well.

Unfortunately, I have to digress a bit here... Last Sunday, I was here with my son and my wife. We all had a 200g sirloin steak with a side dish. My wife and I ordered our steak medium. When the steak arrived, we were a little surprised at how little meat they served. Unfortunately, mine was pretty well done, so we got a new one relatively quickly. And this is also the reason why I'm only giving it 2 stars. My second piece of meat was a steak! At least 2.5 times thicker than the one before it and my wife's and son's. A quantum leap in taste. It's sad that the waitress told me that this could happen if you get the end piece or one from the beginning! So, does everyone only get the end pieces there? For the three of us, €140, none of us were full and a little disappointed, as we were all really craving steak. Pres's service was really not good. Far too little for what you get. It's a shame that the reviews caught you off guard here. The burgers at the next table looked very good, though 🙈

Unfortunately, not recommended!!! 1. Ordered two medium cuts, both received blue rare, and then spoke to the waiter, who was already quite annoying. The steak was inedible. I think many of the reviews are just from tourists 😂 2. Way too loud, like a disco. 3. Tables are placed way too close together, even the waiters bump into your table ten times. AND Agnus just slaps on the prices as they please, which is pretty steep for Cologne. No thanks. Not again!!! Better go straight ahead for two minutes… Inedible…

Top service, delicious food, high-quality meat! We'd gladly go back 👍

Black Angus XL Steakhouse Altstadt Cologne is a guarantee of quality. Here you can enjoy excellent, healthy food at a reasonable price. Great chef, owner, and service. I'll be back. Highly recommended for any steak connoisseur. Thank you. Best regards. Gregor Mark

The burger was amazing. The fries were a bit dry.

Nice place to enjoy some steak. Good quality and reasonable prices. Good service and large outdoor dining area

The service and food were very good. The only thing the burger could have done with was medium-rare meat. Otherwise, it's highly recommended.

Unfortunately, the meal at this steakhouse was a huge disappointment—by far the worst we've ever experienced at a steakhouse. Based on the many positive reviews, we had high expectations, which were completely unfulfilled. The burger was absolutely not worth the money. The patty seemed to be made from leftovers, was extremely small, not even round, and of poor quality. A photo would have clearly documented this impression. The bun was the best part of the burger—and that's not a compliment. For comparison: The burger at Mikado on Sylt is significantly better—the meat there is fresh, juicy, cooked to a light pink, and tastes excellent. Here, however, the meat was overcooked, too thin, and of average to poor quality. The rest of the meat on the plates was also disappointing: the beef was also overcooked, the pork was tough and hard, and only the turkey was reasonably good. The low point, however, were the fries: obviously reheated and probably thrown in the deep fryer a second time—a taste disaster. We only ate them because we were really hungry. Otherwise, we probably would have left right away. Even in the photo we took, the fries look okay—but the taste was a different story.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at this restaurant! From the moment we walked in, the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive without ever being overbearing. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a great vibe that made the night feel special. The food was outstanding—every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of care and quality goes into the ingredients and preparation. The portion sizes were perfect, and everything came out hot and fresh. Service was prompt, and we never felt rushed. The team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Great drinks, delicious food, and top-notch hospitality—couldn’t ask for more. We’ll definitely be coming back again soon and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience

Really good food and chill vibes

Amazing food and great service, must come and try!

Long wait for drinks and food, entrecote was medium rare instead of medium and the quality was also rather below average.

The food was a good portion. My only criticism is that there were two menus at the entrance, but when we sat down, we were only given one. The waiter who took our order also seemed out of sorts, but the one who served us was friendly. 😀

The three of us dined for my husband's birthday. My son's steak was overcooked, so we sent it back. As a chef in a steakhouse, Jen should be able to cook a piece of meat medium, right? We did get another one 15 minutes later, but by then we'd already finished our food. At the end, we were offered a drink as compensation. We did that right away, but now we wanted to pay. You could have taken drinks off the bill. Way too expensive for what you get. We paid 185 euros for three people. It was a real shame, and it put a dampener on our birthday. The food tasted bland, and the meat was dry. The waitress was very friendly, though.

I'm celiac, so since there are no certified gluten-free restaurants in Cologne, I looked for a place with an allergen list. I ordered a chicken skewer and a jacket potato, because the list indicated they were gluten-free. However, as soon as I got back to the hotel, I felt terrible. The prices were a bit high (almost €8 for a water 😅) So I wouldn't recommend it for celiacs, as there may have been some contamination!

I was at this restaurant today and was unfortunately very disappointed. The portions were far too small for the high price. The fries, in particular, were extremely salty and therefore barely edible. The value for money here is absolutely not there. It's a shame, I expected much more.

Good staff and food. A nice change of pace if you're on vacation in Germany and want to eat something a bit better.

Good but overpriced steak for the quality.

The food was okay, but nothing special. The service was unbeatably friendly and personable.

Great steaks!! Order the tomahawk

Understatement - food super delicious!

As an avid steak lover, I have to give the Black Angus Steakhouse in Cologne my full praise. The quality of the meat is simply phenomenal – tender, juicy, and perfectly prepared. You immediately notice that only the finest Black Angus beef is served here. The service is attentive and friendly, without being intrusive. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and stylish, ideal for a special occasion or a relaxed evening with friends. Whether rib-eye, fillet, or rump steak – every dish was an absolute delight. The Black Angus Steakhouse is a clear recommendation for anyone seeking a first-class steak experience.

The young waitress was really friendly and very accommodating! High praise... The overweight boss sat down at the table next to us and smelled very unpleasant, while he played on his phone... The food wasn't good. The fries, schnitzel, and steak were cold when they arrived. The steak was ordered medium-rare and arrived well-done. A burger that was ordered was warm and quite okay. A little burnt in some places! After the schnitzel and steak were returned, we had the whole thing again. This time everything was almost piping hot. And tasted okay. The place was dirty, and the tables were sticky. We're very surprised by the 4.8 stars 😅

The food was okay overall, although we had a cheese platter and a steak platter for two people. The portions were quite modest for the price; the steak platter, in particular, was extremely small for almost €70, with very little meat. It tasted okay, but we won't be going back.

The quality isn't what you'd expect for the prices on the menu. Otherwise, it's friendly.

Very good service The food was also very good The atmosphere was loud

Everything was great all around.

It's been a while since I've had meat like this. It's perhaps a little more expensive than other establishments, but the difference is horrendous. You pay for quality.

You will never go wrong with the Black Angus burger and steak. 100% excellent quality and mouth watering dishes. Burger was 10 out of 10, but fillet steak was little dry - probably because we mentioned medium well. If you go with steak, it is highly recommended to go with Medium done. Well done Black Angus XL. Until next time.

My partner and I were really looking forward to our anniversary dinner, but unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. The quality of the food was completely out of proportion to the price. We paid a total of €152, for which you should at least expect a decent price. My friend's steak cost €67, but it was inedible; it was completely tough, unevenly cooked, and unappealing both visually and tastefully. I myself had a 200g beef fillet for €47.90, which tasted like rubber, completely overcooked, and lacked any tenderness. The sweet potato fries for €17.90 were mushy, unseasoned, and just a total disappointment. What was absolutely unacceptable, however, was a mouse running around under our table. That's an absolute no-go, especially in a restaurant that's in the higher price segment. I absolutely can't understand the many good reviews on TikTok and Google; it simply didn't taste good and it wasn't worth it in any way. This experience was completely out of keeping with the occasion. We are disappointed, especially given the high bill, the subpar food, and the lack of hygiene. This simply shouldn't happen, and we definitely won't be coming back.

100% touristy Extremely expensive (€56 for a 200g fillet steak without a side dish) Dry meat Seats too close together

Very pleasant atmosphere and super delicious 😋

I ordered the Mixed Meat Platter for 3 from Black Angus XL, and it was an absolute treat! The meats were perfectly grilled—tender, flavorful, and full of that rich, smoky aroma. There was a great variety, and each type had its own delicious seasoning that made every bite exciting. The portion was more than enough for three, with generous sides that completed the meal wonderfully. Everything arrived hot and fresh, and the presentation was spot on. This is a must-try for anyone who enjoys quality grilled meat. We’ll definitely be ordering again—great value and excellent taste all around!

Anyone who says it's overpriced should maybe consider going to McDonald's or making a pack of Yumyum at home. The price is a perfect match for the quality, and the service is top-notch. Everything is absolutely delicious. I ordered medium but unfortunately received well-done and complained, but without hesitation, they brought me a perfect new steak, and they did it with absolute courtesy. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for the great food.

Very good food, great service. A great place to spend time with friends.

Good sirloin and ribeye steaks! The burger meat was very good. The recommended home made Tiramisu was excellent. Overall a good experience and will come again to try other meat cuts!

Very caring waiters, the food is incredibly delicious. They also recommended us a very tasty beer 🍺. We liked it here so much that we want to come back here after lunch for dinner 😂 (we came to Cologne for one day)

A huge choice of dishes from the grill. I kept it simple - a ribeye steak with some homemade pommes. Top.

The server was very attentive and made a good recommendation. The atmosphere has a unique vibe. The food was delicious, and the vibe made it even more delicious.

The food was very tasty but a bit overpriced. We had made a reservation with the request not to be seated in the middle of the crowd, but unfortunately, this was ignored, and we were given a small table in the middle of the crowd, which we found very unfortunate. The food was still tasty, but we paid €120 for what you see in the picture.

What fantastic service! Very friendly and the food was delicious! Definitely recommended!

Fantastic food!!! Amazing steak! This was my birthday dinner and they made sure I felt special. So glad I chose this restaurant for my birthday dinner.

Anyone in Cologne looking for a delicious burger should definitely go here. All the ingredients were fresh, and the burger meat was cooked to perfection, just as you'd expect. You don't have to wait long for your food. The staff is friendly and always helpful. We'll definitely be back.

Good food and very friendly service.

The food is very overpriced. The fries were cold. The burger had little flavor.

The food was absolutely delicious. Good service, beer was great, got the food very fast.

The service was perfect, the drinkd were amazing and the food was incredible. would advise everyone to eat here if you love meat 🍖

Food was really good. Service was good and fast. I recommend this place if you like a good steak or burger.

Very good restaurant. The service is exceptionally friendly. Highly recommended.

Good place. Lamb chops on the barbecue.

Very good service and fabulous food!

Very yummy food and friendly staff ✨

From the service staff to the food, everything 👌

Viyana my server was excellent!! Food was great, highly recommend.

This is a very nice place. Very tasty lamb, nice atmosphere. The person who brought us food was very polite and attentive. I think we will come back here again.

Very tasty beef steaks, everything was great

The service and food were good, nothing to complain about. But I personally think €46 for a 250-gram rump steak with rosemary potatoes and herb butter is a bit excessive, but that's in the eye of the beholder.

The prices are too high for the poor quality of the meat and portions. Very disappointing

Don’t eat here. VERY overpriced for the crap quality of food that kitchen is pushing out. 20 euro for a burger that McDonald’s makes better! It’s a poor tourist trap that is surrounded by way better food for the price. Rip off

We were very excited to come here as it looked very good. I had the Cesar salad and the other guest had the Cheeseburger. The Cesar was chopped lettuce with mayo as dressing topped with small shavings of Parmesan, croutons, and cherry tomatoes. This was not at all what I was expecting. I tried a bite of the burger and it was small on a very large bun and overdone. Had this restaurant been a lower prices one I wouldn’t have been quite as let down but I was expecting more for a total bill of 43 Euros which included 2 small draft beers. There is so many places with better quality food at a lower price point that I would recommend to save the money on this place.

It wasn't too bad food or service But we saw rats in the outside bit roaming around

Cozy restaurant with great service and good food, gladly again

We saw the reviews and went there. The menu seemed to have a very good selection (not too much, not too little). The prices speak for themselves. First, the food arrived quite quickly. The staff was friendly, but also curt. My boyfriend ordered garlic bread as a starter. It tasted very good. Then came the main courses: spare ribs with fries and a dish of pasta Milano (Gorgonzola sauce, spinach, and diced salmon). The spare ribs were okay, the fries a bit unsalted, the pasta sauce was more of a cream sauce, the fish was dry, and it was also missing a bit of salt. It wouldn't have been a problem, though, because the waiter brought salt and pepper shakers. However, both were empty. For dessert, I ordered the chocolate mousse with fresh fruit – and what a treat it was: a freshly made mousse that really needed to be refrigerated for a few hours to firm up a bit. What was completely missing was the fruit. What a shame. Wouldn't eat there again.

Nice steakhouse in Cologne with room for improvement. The meat was okay, but some parts were burnt. The vegetables and other side dishes were okay. The prices, well, were pretty high.

Expensive, not tasty at all with very cheap quality, disgusting the order what u become does not match what on menue is, very small portions and cots slots of money please don’t go guys and don’t waste ur time and money their,

We ate here a week ago. The steak was delicious.

Best burger I've ever had, spectacular!

waiters are very friendly we had to wait a while for the food but it was delicious

Cool place to eat. Just sitting outside and enjoy the vicinity and activities

Great time during the show. I recommend it.

I recently visited this restaurant and was absolutely thrilled! The pork spare ribs were incredibly tender and flavorful—cooked to perfection. My daughter accompanied them with a delicious schnitzel that was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The steak was also a real highlight: cooked to perfection and, with the creamy mushroom sauce, a real treat! The cocktails were also excellent—freshly mixed and very flavorful. I would especially like to highlight the welcome: super friendly, warm, and attentive. You immediately feel welcome here. I will definitely be back! Best, Stéphanie

I didn't really understand the good reviews from others. The burgers were okay, but quite expensive. Staff also not really friendly. I wouldn't go here again.

I celebrated my birthday here and had an amazing time! The world needs more people like Ali. We called ahead to find out if they accept pets, and from the moment we called to the moment we paid, Ali was an incredible bartender and waiter! At the end, he surprised us with a small birthday gesture. We're so happy we visited! Thank you Ali and thank you to the chef. The food was excellent!

Warning! A chaotically run tourist trap! I strongly advise against expecting a pleasant evening in this restaurant. A reservation is worth NOTHING here. When we arrived, more than 30 people, all of whom had made reservations, were waiting in the cold in front of a plastic curtain for a seat in the completely overcrowded restaurant – some of them for 45 minutes. With reservations. The "doorman" had no clue, knew NOTHING, and just shrugged his shoulders. No responsibility, a completely overwhelmed team. The boss? "Not here." The shift manager? "We don't have any." A pitiful scene. Zero interest in satisfied customers because the completely overbooked place is full. Guests who came outside said: "It's not worth it." We then went somewhere very nice to eat.

I should admit, at first I was disappointed when they brought me salad with sweet mayo, but they made another one immediately and the lamb ribs were soooo good and juicy.

Cute place Very good food and very high-quality meat

Service and atmosphere are good, but the steak was not cooked evenly and the meat quality was not as good as I expected. I had tenderloin, but the sirloin ordered at another table looked much better. The chicken skewers were also good.

The pasta dishes were poorly presented, especially considering the €22 price tag. The burger patty felt like a ready-made product. While the cocktail was excellent, we felt the care and attention to detail in the preparation of the dishes was lacking overall.
