Ruff's Burger Köln Aachener Strasse in Köln

The first thing you would do if you ordered a burger is to expect them to be sticky. If you don't know, it's your own fault. We always eat delicious burgers here. And have never been disappointed. First-class, high-quality food from A-Z, everything is super delicious there. I can fully recommend this burger shop. A visit is definitely worth it 👍 keep it up 👏🏼

Since Beef Brothers left, unfortunately not really recommended. Brother are very expensive (e.g. 12.50 for a (chipotle burger, which only has a different sauce compared to the hamburger, but costs 3 euros more). Fries were tasty, but too salty. Smashburger was ok, also very salty .

Nice little shop with some seating inside and more outside in front of the shop. The food tastes delicious and the preparation was quick.

Miserable service!!! How incompetent do you have to be to not be able to deliver a full order? Trying to call in vain, no one picks up. That's really disappointing. Paid money for two fries and never received them but you can send sauces for them.

The food was delicious. We had to wait 30 minutes after placing the order, which I didn't think was great. Unfortunately, there is a constant smell of marijuana wafting through the corridor from the toilets to the seats. As a customer, I find it unbelievable that you are forced to eat this smell in a closed restaurant. For me, this is also the criterion that I will no longer go there

Incredibly unfriendly. It's almost an art to make someone feel so unwelcome within 2 minutes that they lose their appetite. If you don't enjoy your job so much, maybe try something else... I was with you on the 23rd at around 7:30 p.m

The burger was a really intense taste explosion in my mouth. It was really tasty

The burger hit differently. Very juicy and tasty. As a Bavarian burger master, I give this burger a 10/10!!!

Incredibly delicious and juicy burger! The staff was also very nice and professional. Actually there is hardly anything to complain about. I still decided on 4 stars because the smell from the toilet was very strong and was annoying when I was eating. That still needs to be fixed.

I really like the ambience with the loud music and the look and vibe of the place. A relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The staff, on the other hand, were either in a great mood or seemed annoyed. Food again TOP. I've been there several times and will always go back. My recommendation: smashed burger with truffle fries (with ranch dip).

Burgers and fries are very tasty, the service was a bit unfriendly. But overall recommended

Terrific delicious burgers. The fries and dips were also on point👌 Price performance was also right. A clear recommendation from me!

I'm from the area and wanted to see for myself after all the social media videos with the well-known influencers. Honestly, I really enjoyed the meat. You could taste the fresh meat flavor wonderfully, and it was also perfectly seasoned. I would also like to particularly emphasize the very friendly staff - something that you unfortunately cannot find at every snack bar or restaurant. Overall I was very satisfied and would be happy to come back.

The food is amazing and top service. I will for sure return back to this restaurant.

The service is super top! the food tastes fabulous, everything is perfect.

Very tasty chicken burger with fries and a drink. The preparation was quick.

Stable smashed burger with really good fries. Everything went really quickly and tasted great. Definitely stop by for a good burger. Unfortunately the toilet smelled so bad that you could smell it all the way into the restaurant. Maybe you should clean it up. Otherwise everything is great :)

Very tasty fresh burgers and perfect location in downtown Cologne. Definitely worth a visit!

The burgers, fries and the sauces were all delicious and it took only a short time for the order to be ready (but the store was almost empty). Gladly again!

If you're in the mood for burgers then you've come to the right place, they're simply the best 😍 again and again

Bad service from the owner. Extremely unfriendly and aggressive. When I picked up my order, which was initially forgotten, he just said that I shouldn't be so stupid and insulted me first. Other customers also only commented that they shouldn't be annoying and that he doesn't make any mistakes. This disrespectful attitude towards customers is truly bottomless. I will definitely never go there again as long as this owner runs the place.

Terrible customer service. We arrived as a group of 5 and the two staff completely ignored us. We stood at the checkout for a long time while they refused to acknowledge us. We then very politely asked one of them how we could place our order, he looked at us and then turned around, deliberately ignoring us. One of the rudest interactions we've ever had. We left the company and the company lost over €150 in sales.

Terrible experience. The staff compleatly ignored us, after 15 minutes of standing by the till waiting to order we asked them if they could take our order - they looked at us and didn't reply, just turned back around and continue to blank us. Would not go back and would absolutely not recomend. Avoid!

Went in as a group of 5. Waited at the till to order and all the staff ignored us and avoided making eye contact while we waited. After 10 minutes we asked if we could order and they looked at us, turned away and continued to ignore us so we left. Rude service put us off spending any money here and we wouldn't recommend this place based on this experience.

I ate my first burger at Ruffs Burger today. I couldn't decide and chose the chicken burger on the recommendation of an employee. I wouldn't have chosen this burger myself, but I was completely convinced. The burger was super tasty and perfectly made. Would come back at any time for the burger and recommend the shop! I'm looking forward to the next burgers.

Let's put it this way - there are better ones but it's ok for a burger in between. I'm currently missing THE burger spot in Cologne after the change of ownership.

Burger was ok... Fries a bit small. All in all okay, but there are definitely better burger places in Cologne.

Unfortunately I have to agree with the negative reviews. Since the change of ownership nothing has been the same as it was before. The meat patties are very small, not a single gram is given, everything is topped with mustard and the supposed onions in the burger were completely missing. When I asked, I got the answer. “I shouldn’t complain…” luckily you can write here what it was like: absolutely not recommended!

I've never eaten such a good burger. Everything handmade. You can taste every nuance, fine aromas, excellently balanced. The meat is crispy, spicy and slightly caramelized. The sauces are a taste explosion. Not to be outdone.

This is the best burger I’ve ever had. Super cozy environment and the staff are diligent and out the way.

Seven eight years ago the store was still called Beef Brothers. Back then, the burger was still an absolute sensation. It used to be a brilliant and simple burger made from a normal bread, good meat, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, ketchup. Meanwhile, the normal burger has none of the aforementioned attributes. it has no bite, no good taste, but contains porridge. Too much fat.

Good burger in a cool atmosphere. Can be recommended without hesitation.

A nice burger joint in the Belgische Viertel. The fries were top notch, I also enjoyed the truffle sauce. The smashburger was also technically done, however it was topped with a lot of ketchup. I would prefer maybe one third of the amount and the option to get some mayo or some normal burger sauce instead.

We were in the store for the first time and absolutely loved it. The selection is large and you can notice the good quality. The burgers were super juicy.

🤤🍔🍟 I had the avocado burger there.

Best burger in town you have to try it out

While we went before closing our children were served with a smile! Thank you very much!

Had a delicious burger with fries as a menu. The meat and bread from the burger are very tasty.

Recently I was in Cologne and was looking for a burger shop and then found Ruffs Burger on the internet. Everything was simply a 10/10, be it the service, the food, the ambience, everything was excellent and I can only recommend it!! Thank you again and we'll see you again soon

Service 10/10 Taste 10/10 The food tasted so delicious and the staff were extremely correct. Will recommend it!

Unfortunately, I assumed that the quality of the Beef Brothers would be maintained. But the burger and fries are far from that. I ordered a burger with avocado and fries with truffle mayo and a rhubarb spritzer. The burger was prepared with a very cheap ready-made sauce. The avocado was a touch. The fries were way too soft and the truffle mayo also tasted very cheap. All in all, I really can't understand the good reviews because for me it was a tasteless meal for €17.50. Not comparable to Burger Brothers.

The saltiest burger i have ever had. No taste, just salt!

The price is okay, but for the price you can eat much better burgers in the area, and the fries weren't particularly good either. However, the “service” was a real disgrace. There wasn't much going on and there were at least three of the guys in the store. While the people next to us were getting their food brought to the table, the employee from the inside kept knocking on the window until we noticed him. This is to signal to us that we should get our own food. So we were obviously second class customers and no service was apparent. The tables around us weren't cleared for ages. For me the shop downstairs is over, I won't be coming back.

Very tasty smash burgers and super crispy fries. Also great prices.

Outstanding burger experience! With a super central location, the burger joint is the perfect place to treat yourself to a break in the middle of the city and enjoy a really tasty burger. The ingredients are fresh and of high quality. The meat is juicy and grilled to perfection, the buns are soft but sturdy enough to hold the burger together, and the selection of fresh vegetables and toppings leaves nothing to be desired. The beautiful outdoor terrace is particularly worth mentioning. It offers a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for lunch or a relaxed dinner al fresco. It's the perfect place to get together with friends or just soak up the sun while eating one of the best burgers in town. Overall, this burger joint offers not only excellent food but also a great environment to enjoy it. A visit here is definitely worth it!

The take-away food was very delicious. I'm always happy to stop by when I'm nearby.

Very good burgers! Staff was nice too

Tried it for the first time today, super nice service, burger very surprisingly tasty, tried many burger shops in Cologne and is definitely one of the best in Cologne and the surrounding area. Recommended!!!

Small shop right on a busy street. Still good for sitting outside, without a lot of frills, but with really good food at an unbeatable price!

The burger is actually very tasty, but I find the fries a bit dry and tasteless.

Order: was first ignored, then accepted in annoyance, no German. Food: Salad on burger had black spots, otherwise OK. Duration: 15 minutes including ordering, shop was empty, not OK for to go. Too bad, won't come back...

Food was very tasty. Ruffs Burger has an interesting, unusual sauce. Everything happened very quickly too. Staff friendly. Seating inside and outside. Thank you.

Very tasty and simply great with fresh ingredients :) I'll be happy to come back.

The burger was not good. The quality of materials has changed a lot.

It was very tasty, great smashburger, not too spicy, not too dry, just great 👍 For me, a 5/5 star shop, keep it up

Delicious smash burger and a large selection of sauces for the fries.

Best burger place ever! Addendum 2024: It was a bit sad that Beef Brothers is no more. But I was absolutely convinced that Ruff’s Burger is at least as good!

According to the menu, the burger costs 11.90. But really 12.50. They say it's not their fault. But it's not that great. .

Had a very good burger and fries here. Highly recommended.

The burger shop is located directly on Aachener Straße. There is no direct parking space. It's best to use the "Rudolfplatz underground car park". At the burger shop itself there are a few tables outside and only 3 to 5 small tables inside. The ambience doesn't invite you to linger for long. The service is super friendly and the burger was world class. (That's what matters). The prices are in the medium to high segment but are worth every euro. Never had a better smash burger! I'd love to come back 😎 Insta; heiko.brs

Simply great! 👍 nice service, great burgers and fries and in a perfect location to go for a walk or visit bars afterwards.

One of the best in the city guys !!

I recently stopped by spontaneously while walking past... I liked the food... the service seemed friendly. All in one, I recommend it

Everything great Very nice staff service Top would be happy again

The food tasted very tasty and the service was good. To recommend

"Absolutely loved this burger place! The burgers were juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the fries were crispy and tasty. The staff was super friendly and the service was quick. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I'll definitely be back! Very to recommend!"

Nice service, but the food tasted way too salty and became unappetizing halfway through. The location right on the street isn't exactly perfect either; you're half run over by cyclists at your table

Nothing special just a normal burger shop, won't return.

Average, not excellent, not bad

Delicious burger buns, juicy patties, large selection of toppings and sauces for the fries. But the general rise in prices is also noticeable here. Burgers/fries from ~14 € upwards.

I ordered a salad for 13.90 with chicken. What arrived? A "salad" with a few leaves, far too dry, not enough sauce and 3 small pieces of meat. An absolute disgrace. The first and last visit.👎🏽

Super tasty and highly recommended.

Ruffs Burger in Cologne is an absolute must for all burger lovers! The service was first class - the staff was super friendly, attentive and accommodating. the food: The burgers are simply delicious! Juicy, perfectly seasoned and topped with the freshest ingredients. I had the classic/hamburger and was blown away by the quality of the meat The fries were crispy and salted just right, and the homemade sauces were the perfect complement. The selection of drinks is also excellent, with lots of refreshing lemonades. There are also delicious vegetarian and vegan options, which I really appreciate.

Burger okay overall but below average - won't be coming back

Not to be compared with its predecessor, Beef Brothers. Maximum mediocre burgers; no creativity. Subterranean service: ordered 2xburgers and 2x fries, got 1x burger and 1x fries. Very long waiting times; pure overwhelm. Tobias

Bad service. There was nothing going on and the one burger arrived after 20 minutes. The other one only after 25-30 minutes and there were two of us there. Should everyone eat alone or what?

Great place! The prices are totally worth it for the quality of the burguer! It’s amazing, I had the smash and I believe it was the best burguer I had in koln so far!

For burgers you have to go here!! The boss has to look for employees who want to work. There is one walking around at a snail's pace that is not suitable for the catering industry!! Grab your own drink (0.4 liters) Inside there is room for 12 people

If you like falafel, you can get the falafel burger. The sweet potato fries were very tasty. So both can really be recommended :)

Ruffs Burger: It's audacious that the old reviews are attributed to the "new" store. I was here last week and had a Smashburger. This one was the most disgusting of my life. The meat was rubbery and roasted flavors were non-existent. It was the first time I had to have a burger put down after two bites as it was just disgusting. In addition, there was a massive smell of chlorine in the restaurant... Not even remotely an adequate replacement for the Beefbrothers. Definitely not a child anymore. Beefbrothers: The best burgers I know... with fries with aioli and the day is saved - provided there is a seat. But somehow it has always worked despite its small size. Need you in southern Germany ;)

The waiter didn't speak to us for 15 minutes.

I absolutely can't imagine that it shouldn't be so good anymore, I remember it from Severinstrasse 59, Cologne and it was absolutely awesome and delicious there.

Looks better than it is. Meat has a strange texture to the bite. The bacon wasn't even grilled but rather placed raw on the burger. Absolute disappointment Nice employees, store looks nice

The best hamburger in Köln. For sure.

Everything is nice except the intense smell inside. Delicious burgers.

It's unbelievable what a change can entail. I've known the store since the Beef Brothers days and have done so for years. Whenever I wanted a burger, this place was the first place that came to mind! You were never disappointed in terms of taste, always super juicy burgers and cheerful employees. Price, performance and quality were almost perfect! You got a decent amount for your money. Since the last visit to Ruffs Burger, a lot has developed for the worse. Staff are bored and can't manage to get a small order in order. A large selection of drinks has become just Coca-Cola & water and the portions are a joke. A final opponent when it comes to burgers has become game over!

Super tasty fries and burgers. We had 2 meat burgers and a vegan burger. All highly recommended! Also fair prices and friendly service.

Ruff's Burger in Köln may seem unassuming, but inside awaits a culinary delight. Their burgers are made with top-notch ingredients, offering a burst of flavor in every bite. Despite its minimalist interior, the ambiance is inviting, and the focus on food shines through. The staff is attentive and friendly, ensuring a fantastic dining experience. Plus, don't miss their excellent fries!

Good burger but not exceptional either

The best burger is there in köln. Employees is very lovely and they are making good burger.Just I want to say I am greatfull.

Friendly staff and the burgers are very tasty. Large selection of burgers, fries and sauces

The Belgian fries were nice and thick, but way too salty, and the onion rings were too greasy Burger way too much sauce, the meat was well fried but the taste and texture didn't match, the cheese on the meat wasn't melted properly... :( I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach afterwards. What a shame! :(

To be honest, we expected more as we still knew the place from Beef Brothers times and remembered it as one of the best burgers in Cologne. The bread was dry and the fries were fried for too long. Nothing sensational in terms of taste either. However, the service was very friendly and there are also veggie & vegan options.

Essen war lecker. Alles frisch und beste Qualität. Personal auch freundlich. Preisleistung stimmt überein. Leider ist die Sitzmöglichkeit etwas schwierig und unbequem. Besteck war nicht ausreichend vorhanden, was für uns aber kein Problem dargestellt hat. Wir haben unseren Bürger auf der Hand gegessen.

Hat geschlossen. Nirgends steht bis wann oder eine Info :( Standen vor geschlossenen Rolläden

Hatte einen Cheeseburger im Menü mit Pommes. Das Brot war meiner Meinung nach viel zu dick und das Patty im Vergleich zu dünn. Der Bürger war auch eher lauwarm und hatte keinen Geschmack. Da konnte auch das kleine bisschen Ketchup im Burger nichts dran ändern. Die Pommes waren okay, aber die Portion recht klein. Für die gebotene Qualität bzw. Portion war der Preis definitiv zu hoch! Das Ambiente war karg und sehr kalt - es gab keine Heizung.

Leider sehr, sehr wenig Platz im Lokal, so dass man bei kaltem Wetter entweder im Stehen isst oder sich den Platz mit Bruno dem Axtmörder teilen muss. Da aber der Geschmack für die Qual der Essensaufnahme entschädigt, ist Beef Brothers mittlerweile mein persönlicher Maßstab für jegliche Form des Fleisch-im-Brötchen. Alle Burger werden ab jetzt hier dran gemessen.

Бургери класичні. Порції великі. Смачно. Правда на тверду пятірку заклад трошки не дотягує.

Richtig leckere Burger, echt zu empfehlen

Neuer Name, alte Bewertungen. Ansonsten käme hier wohl kaum der hohe Google Score von 4,3 durch über 2000 Bewertungen zu zustanden. Diese stammt größtenteils, ebenso wie die Fotos vom Essen, aus der Zeit als der Laden noch unter dem Banner „Beef Brothers“ lief und noch nicht vom Ruff‘s Burger Franchise übernommen wurde. Das Essen bei Ruff‘s war leider ziemlich 08/15. Das Fleisch auf dem Burger war relativ fad und ohne nennenswerten Eigengeschmack. Beim BBQ Burger dominierte die ganze Zeit über ein BBQ bzw. Ketchup Geschmack und der Rest blieb auf der Strecke. Die Zwiebelringe machten optisch zwar einen guten Eindruck, waren dann aber leider weniger kross als erhofft und enthielten auch nur eine hauchdünnen Zwiebelring. Unterm Strich maximal „Ok“ für den schnellen Hunger, aber gemessen an der Qualität dann doch wieder zu teuer für das was man bekommt. Schade, aber wer die Beef Brothers und deren Qualität vermisst der kommt in der Filiale auf der Christophstraße immerhin noch auf seine Kosten.
