Max Stark in Köln

Beer is running Food excellent, portion good Service very friendly and quick Will definitely come again

Great, small brewery with excellent cuisine and everything at low prices. Highly recommended: tartare with potato pancakes

Delicious Kölsch and pork chops like Lommi, what more could you want

Cozy and typical location in brewery style. Very good food, friendly staff and fortunately away from the tourist hustle and bustle in the old town. We'd love to come back.

It was a really nice and lovely evening with you. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and competent. We'd love to come back.

Since time immemorial it has been an insider tip for typical Cologne cuisine, beer from wooden barrels and a genuine brewery atmosphere. Delicious dishes, changing weekly menu, rare dishes such as sour kidneys or roast pork. Always a pleasure

Great beer Great service World class sauerbraten Very rude local guests Greetings go out to the mustachioed “artist” in the selvage denim dungarees

Cool place, quick and friendly service, tasty and inexpensive, great for dinner with friends.

3.5 star. Great service, cold beer. Pork knuckles only on Friday and other items also not available during our visit.

It was delicious....gladly again.

Very tasty food, friendly service and delicious Kölsch. If you want to eat good and tasty food, you should stop here.

We were super satisfied, very comfortable and very friendly service, gladly again!!!

SUPER GREAT RESTAURANT. DELICIOUS TASTY FOOD AND GREAT VALUE. ALWAYS NEW MENU WITH COURT DISHES. UNFORTUNATELY THE PLACE IS VERY SMALL AND THE VOLUME IS VERY HIGH.

Was there with my wife and it was really very pleasant 🙏

Just great here. Rustic, tasty and always worth a visit. Are very happy here.

Very cozy little brewery. Very friendly service. Very tasty food. Päffgen fresh from the barrel. Pleasant prices. So we were thrilled and would love to come back.

Man kann nicht ganz glauben, daß das Max Stark shon so früh im Vorfeld ausgebucht ist, erst recht nicht, wenn man sieht, wie oft Tische frei sind. Gleich vermutete man eine gewisse Vorauswahl, ein "für Stammgäste gehts dann doch noch". Gut, wir hatten dann sehr weit im Vorfeld reserviert, spät wurde es dann auch gut besucht. Das Bier floß reichlich. Das Essen wird heir so odt gelobt, allerdings ist zb die Wurst sehr gräulich und nicht wirklich apetitlich anzusehen. Die Fritten waren sehr fettig. Das Schnitzel wird leider in der Soße ertränkt, so daß dann auch die Panade sehr matschig und nicht mehr knusprig auf dem Teller liegt. Kaffee oder Espresso gibt es nicht, immerhin einen Kurzen. Den braucht man, denn eins muß man der Kneipe lassen, groß sind die Mengen durchaus. Für die, für die das ausreichendes Qualitätsmerkmal ist, die sind heir gut aufgehoben.

Kölsch is a 200ml beer that goes well with a light meal. sauerbraten - The horse meat had no smell and was low in fat, which suited my taste. The sauce felt unique. rindergulasch - Goulash was like eating braised beef. It tasted like something I had in Korea and it was delicious. bratwurst - I could choose between sausage and french fries or potato salad, so I chose potato salad and it was delicious and went well with the sausage. The staff was friendly and answered my questions well.

Perfect place to have a really good, hearty meal. Really tasty and very good service.

When you make your reservation, specify which table you want, otherwise you will get the worst one they have. Unfriendly service.

Food very good, and the best Kölsch! Köbes Nice, and even though it was very full, we still managed to get a seat! Relatively small brewery (in relation to the others in Cologne) But always worth a visit!

We just had something to drink. A nice brauhaus. Can't say anything about the food though.

Nice location and delicious food.

We were given a very friendly welcome, the beer was excellent and the food was to our liking and very tasty. Max Stark is recommended.

I was there today after a business meeting. I was really impressed by the location, the food, the price/performance ratio and the friendly service. I have to go back here. The location is also very busy, which in itself is a sign of quality. Thank you again!

I came to a traditional restaurant located in a quaint building and ate traditional German dishes here. The environment was comfortable, the dishes were delicious, German style, and the prices were reasonable. I was very satisfied. Leberwurst is very nice!

I went there around 2 pm for lunch. We were three people. The food quantity was large and we ordered 3 dishes although two was enough for us. I tried pork chop with french fries 🍟, Pumpkin Schnitzel and one dish with mashroom. One of our friends was vegetarian and it was a struggle for us since very few vegetarian options are there other than salad. A Variety of non-veg options are there like pork chop to Currywurst. So if you are vegetarian I will definitely not recommend this place. I tried 'Bluna' for drinks It was orange soda and I loved it. Other than that food was quite okay. I believe the place is popular for Kölsch Beer 🍻 as it was the common drink in almost all the tables. It seems like a very old restaurant and its atmosphere is very good like the aesthetic surroundings. Overall I recommend the place if you are a non-vegetarian person. Happy eating 😊

We ordered a Classical schnitzel and currywurst, and a starter, it is very tasty

Very good restaurant with delicious home-style food. Absolutely recommended.

There aren't many better places for 6 Kölsch and half a rooster!

Quaint Cologne restaurant! Delicious card 👍🏽

All you can say is delicious, delicious, delicious and at low prices

Find traditional Cologne dishes. Delicious dishes. Small and a bit crowded.

Nice german restaurant with big portions and fresh Kölsch out of REAL WOODEN BARREL! Staff is great. *****

My favorite restaurant in Cologne. Delicious food and great beer. It's always worth it.

Looking for some food after arriving in Cologne late. Was a great find. It was booked out, but we had a drink, and they found us a table. Great evening.

Perfectly fried rump steak with delicious fried potatoes. Very good.

Este es un restaurante agradablemente sin pretensiones, y parece muy auténtico. Pero el servicio es muy lento, y la comida un poco cruda. ¿Tortilla con salsa? Las porciones son muy grandes (mi tortilla era masiva) , lo que puede gustar a algunos. si no quieres cerveza, no estoy seguro de qué más puedes beber.

Great food and cozy atmosphere that’s full of locals more than tourists. The server was attentive and the schnitzel was fantastic. Seating is limited, so call ahead or be prepared to wait. They might also sit you with others at a larger table, which can be a fun experience if you aren’t afraid to mingle. We didn’t speak much German, but they kindly took our service in English. Would definitely recommend!

A German friend recommended bringing me here to eat. Every German restaurant I go to basically eats the same thing My personal favorite is Jägerschnitzel

Rustic inn with delicious, honest food and generous portions. Always my pleasure!

Muy buena comida, deliciosa preparación. Las carnes sabrosas, hay un plato con cebolla asada , carne y papas fritas que es delicioso. La salchicha tb y la escalope. Todo muy bien preparado y las personas que atienden muy amables. 100% recomendable

Very good atmosphere Very pleasant

A well-frequented corner pub where you can still get the original Rhenish sauerbraten from horseback. I got a side seat at the counter without a table reservation, even though I was there early. The sauerbraten tasted good

One of the better schnitzels I had 👌🏽

Very tasty food with attentive waiters. There was no shortage of drinks. I'll be happy to come back the next time I visit Cologne :)

Best brewery in Cologne and the world's best sauerbraten

Tastes great like potatoes!!! Into the olgaaaaa

Staff were super friendly and helpful Beer was great 👍

Real Köll economy with tradition! Authentic dishes and delicious Päffgen...

The best thing first: There is Päffgen Kölsch. But the food is also great and has a good selection at fair prices. Staff is always good for jokes. The expenditure per person is a bit high; depends on how many puffs you put the lid on the glass :-)

Perfect place if you want something typical and cheap. The restaurant is very small, lousy and hot so you may not want to choose it if you are in search of something fancy and quiet. Nevertheless, the food is good and the waiters are very nice.

Exactly how you imagine a brewery to be. But in a smaller way. Very tasty food, friendly Köbes and great ambience.

Only had four Kölsch. They came quickly and were ice cold. The service was very nice. I'd love to come back for a quick Kölsch.

Service is a disaster as always, you stand at the bar table waiting 15 minutes for the Kölsch. The waiter sees you, has exactly 2 Kölsch in his wreath and just moves on. The waiters would rather drink the Kölsch themselves than serve guests. I was about to call so I could finally get a Kölsch. I wanted to give it another chance but it's the same as always if you don't eat anything because that brings in sales and you're ignored if you just drink

La comida y el servicio era genial y precios muy razonables. Volvimos por segunda vez y no nos decepcionó. ¡Recuerda poner el tapete de cerveza en tu vaso cuando hayas bebido suficiente cerveza!

Amazing place!! Must go when you’re in the city!

Simple, typical Kölsch pub, just as you would imagine as a Cologne resident. Rustic Köbesse, high-quality local cuisine. The chop is awesome. Better reserve. Oh yes, and the best thing for last: Päffgen Kölsch. 😀

Very nice service and great atmosphere. The Kölsch comes at a good pace, what more could you want?

A brewery that I always enjoyed going to when I still lived in Cologne and I still enjoy visiting today. The food is tasty, the service is on point and it is better to make a reservation in advance, as there is a lot of traffic here due to the advantages described. If you visit Cologne you should take a look here.

Always my pleasure. Everything went great from the reservation to the atmosphere, the food and of course the delicious cold drink. This is how evenings are fun.

Wonderful dishes, beautiful little German restaurant is recommended for every visit to Cologne but you should 100% make a reservation and definitely be prepared to tip.

Ein kleines Brauhaus in einer Nebenstraße . Es gibt große Portionen und es wird frisch zubereitet. Die Leute sind nett und freundlich. Schöner Platz als Ausflugsabschluss.

Had the wiener schnitzel. Huge portions and the food was excellent. Service was good as well, the place has an authentic atmosphere.

Very good food, the atmosphere is exceptional, not a tourist trap, really a place where locals meet to eat different dishes every day, not having to worry about an empty glass, and benefit from a extraordinary and very appreciable service (whatever the original language, as long as you speak a little English). The value for money is also excellent! I highly recommend, really a great experience!

Very attentive waiters, very tasty food and freshly tapped beer in authentic brewery style. Thank you! We'll be back!

Real Kölsch restaurant at moderate prices

Ice-cold puffing. Delicious food. Civilian prices. Nice specialist staff!!!!👍🍻💯 Everything unchanged, just the prices slightly increased, but everything within limits 👍🍻

Super delicious food, delicious Päffgen Kölsch. Mega store.

Very friendly staff. You could hear laughter and a fun atmosphere from one street away. The place was full with locals, this usually means the food is good, which in this case was true. They have a daily menu which is solely written in German. Don't be afraid to ask the staff about the menu if you can't read German however. The staff frequently refills your beer as well. We had schnitzel, which tasted fantastic. Do, however, go here on an empty stomach. Otherwise you'll be fighting the amount of food at the 75% completion mark. We will definitely be visiting again soon. On that note, the price is quite good considering the amount of food you get.

We had a great time at Max Stark. A little out of the way but a great atmosphere and very friendly service. Highly recommended!

Very friendly staff… great food at normal, fairly reasonable prices. I'm already looking forward to the next time.

Simple but clean place, varied menu and friendly staff... except that they took the tip without asking! If you pay by card they insert the tip without saying anything, found in the bill as if it were any other item (and it was €5.60).

Restaurant located near the station area. Excellent typical German food with very generous portions and adequate prices. Very recommended!

Very poorly received by a waiter who simply turned us away at the entrance without explanation. Very unpleasant.

Best Mettbrötchen and best Kölsch in the city

Yesterday we returned to the Max Stark Inn once again and, as always, we were absolutely thrilled! The food was plentiful, hot, tasted great and with the additional daily menu it was hard to decide. The price-performance ratio is right here. The Kölsch was of course delicious as always and the Köbes was very friendly and attentive. Thank you very much! We'd love to come back!!!!

Very nice, traditional-looking Kölsch restaurant with classic German food and Kölsch beer. Very nice and fast service, neatly decorated. For larger groups it may make sense to make a reservation. Only limited vegetarian options!

A small but fine brewery in the Eifelsteinviertel. Good, hearty brewery cuisine, with decent portions and friendly, attentive service leave nothing to be desired. Only the noise level and the lack of an outdoor area, which is due to the circumstances, make me only give it 4 stars.

We had a wonderful experience with attentive service, a welcoming staff, and outstanding food.

Simply mega! Brutally good food!

Walking around and found Max Stark on the corner. Looked inviting- I was happily surprised by the large menu selection. I was on a search for schnitzel, and Max did not disappoint. Fresh and delicious with mushrooms- very good. The Kolsch beer was very tasty as well.

Die Krux des Internets ist die Dauerhaftigkeit von Informationen, nichts wird gelöscht, alles bleibt. So auch Speisekarten und Preise für Gerichte und Getränke. Auch Max Stark hat kräftig an den Preisen gearbeitet. Sicher argumentiert man auch hier mit den gestiegenen Nebenkosten. Ist das richtig? Ja. Denn wenn man genau vergleicht, sieht man, wie freundlich und mit Bedacht man sich sogar diesem unschönen Thema widmet. Mineralwasser und alle anderen alkoholfreien Getränke seit 2019 (mindestens) preisstabil. Kindergerichte, alle zum gleichen Preis seit mindestens fünf Jahren. Schön also, dass das Internet nichts vergisst. Es erinnert uns sogar manchmal daran wie solide offensichtlich gewirtschaftet werden kann. Und die Kneipe im Veedel ist immer noch Tag ein Tag aus voll besetzt mit fröhlichen Menschen. Und die wissen zu schätzen wissen, dass frisch gekochte Hausmannskost seinen Preis hat. Und selbst dieser ist im Max trotz fantastischer Qualität mehr als überzeugend- preis-wert! Danke für den klasse Abend, auch für Freundlichkeit, humor und Spitzenservice. Unser erstes Mal wird nicht das letzte sein.

Very nice brewery-style restaurant. I felt very comfortable.

Small, authentic restaurant with the best home cooking and fresh Kölsch, served in an endless series of 2dl glasses. An experience! Many thanks to the whole team for the hospitality 🙏

Nice little brewery, food awesome 😋 delicious.

If you're lucky enough to get a table, you can still eat deliciously, well and cheaply here. And the Päffgen Kölsch is simply the best

Reserved a table today for 3 people from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Wife was there at 12:15 p.m., son and I at 12:20 p.m. Table away with the justification, “you have to be on time!”. There is no mention of this in the reservation confirmation email! Horrible behavior towards the guests! We've always enjoyed going there often, but that was definitely the last time!

Max Stark is famous for their schnitzel, which they serve topped with creamed mushrooms and French fries. It was very good. We also tried the fresh bratwust with potato salad. Lively and bustling atmosphere.

Delicious Kölsch, tasty food and great service - the Köbesse are top!

Food cheap and very good, for over 17 YEARS. 👍😀🤗😋😋😋😋😋 Everyone go and try it Yesterday the potato soup was very tasty😃👍👌

As always....Great inn, great service, delicious food and drinks

Real Cologne brewery, really good food, really delicious Päffgen, really fair prices, really nice and quick Köbesse - without the musky tone that you, even as a Cologne native, find annoying in other breweries.

Hello dear friends So what I experienced here is absolutely bottom-notch! I ordered a steak with mushrooms. Halfway through it was crossed with a tendon. It was no longer possible to cut and eat. After I pointed this out to the waiter, my plate was aggressively shoved under my nose and some trivial accusations were thrown at me. E.g. yes, you are a huge carnivore etc.

Delicious food - steak was amazing. Fast service and fair pricing.

Small cozy brewery. Fast service. The food was super tasty 😋 Kölsch was tasty

Small and very nice inn 👌🏽 The food is incredibly delicious! Really nice, hearty home cooking with a brewery feeling. The prices are quite reasonable for the quality. The goulash was really excellent. The Köbes - a dream. Of course, we had to wait a while without a reservation, but we don't regret a minute of it. Well looked after and entertained, we treated ourselves to a snack in advance and got a table quicker than expected. Shortly before dinner we moved again to make room for a group of several guests. No reason to worry. That's how it is in Cologne. Flexible, fun, helpful and no one is left out! Clean. Yummy. Cozy.

Delicious food, fills you up, reasonable prices. Typical Cologne brewery, with unfriendly Köbes.

We spontaneously stopped here for dinner. This is how you imagine an original Cologne restaurant: nice ambience, delicious food and super delicious Päffgen Kölsch. We were definitely not here for the last time

Home-style cooking in a great ambience! We just walked in with grumbling stomachs as we strolled by and didn't really want to go out! Highly recommended, good food at great prices!
