Good for a quick snack; the portions are large and filling. The price is also reasonable. The taste, however, isn't anything special.

Schotti's Burger - Biblis Location vs. Mannheim As loyal and very satisfied customers of Schotti's Burger in Biblis, we would like to share our experiences. The Biblis location impresses us time and time again and is clearly the number one for us. The quality, size of the burgers, and the accuracy of the orders are consistently excellent there. We are completely satisfied and enjoy ordering or picking up our food in Biblis. Since we were recently in Mannheim twice, we decided to order from Schotti's Burger there. Unfortunately, both orders were disappointing: First order in Mannheim: The order was unfortunately incorrect. Onion rings were forgotten to be wrapped. Second order in Mannheim: The burgers were smaller than expected. The burgers in Mannheim are also very tasty. Our conclusion: The quality and reliability in Biblis are unbeatable. The burgers themselves are also very tasty in Mannheim, and if you're from Mannheim, it's not worth driving all the way to Biblis. From now on, we will only order from Biblis, as usual, to get the perfect burgers we love and expect.

I was just about to give it ***** stars because we enjoyed the food, the phone order and pickup worked, and I couldn't find anything vegetarian except for onion rings and fries. Great, keep it up... then I spotted the crossed-out cow! Oh, it's all sausage, I thought, and I'll stick with 5 stars! I'd be happy to come back! Addendum! I just got a craving for burgers 🍔 again and quickly rode to Schotti's on my scooter. The order was placed quickly, and the little UFO that's handed to you sounds an alarm when the food is ready. So, with your order, the food isn't quite as ready as a pit stop, but it's still very quick. I enjoyed the burger(s) 🍔 and it was delicious 😋! Thanks and keep up the good work! Oh yes, the price/performance ratio is also good. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Used to be very tasty. Now not so good. Fries would have needed a good two minutes more. Onion burgers are old and very dry. Chicken burgers are very dry and barely have any sauce. Have you ever tried what you're trying to cook? We don't come or pick up anything anymore.

Unfortunately, it's not what it used to be. We ordered at 4:00 p.m. for a 4:50 p.m. delivery and arrived right on time. However, the food seemed to have been ready a while ago: The fries were cold and soggy, and the cheese sauce on top was unfortunately extremely salty. The burger patties were completely dried out and barely edible. It's a real shame – unfortunately, it was my last time there. Luckily, there are plenty of alternatives.

I've been a very satisfied regular customer for several years. However, in my opinion, it's completely gone downhill since they hired new staff. Also, the employees simply forget half the ingredients that come with the order. There are a lot of flies, so you spend more time chasing them away than eating. The tables could also be cleaned properly every now and then. Unfortunately, I won't be a regular customer in the future, which I find very unfortunate, as it used to be the best burger place in Mannheim.

First, you should know that this is a snack bar located in an industrial area. This, of course, has its consequences. First, the portions, which are generous. The ambiance is influenced by the surroundings (trucks, industrial buildings, etc.). If that doesn't bother you, you can expect good food, friendly service, and a clientele with typical Monnemer charm. My wife and I really enjoyed it!

The burgers are very good value for money. Where else can you get 400g of meat for less than €15? I don't know of any other comparable place in the area. This snack bar is definitely a great place to fill up. However, if you want a nice seat, you're better off going to the restaurant. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't stop in a few times ;). Come on down to Schottis! Huge portions, at low prices! (Shown here: The Bacon Burger M3 --> 3 125g patties)

Really good burgers at a very, very good price/performance ratio. Burgers available in all sizes. (M/L/XL) and then with up to 3 patties per burger. Good salad and sauces and the fries are just amazing. Small seating area (4 tables) inside and another half-open extension with additional seats. One star deducted because there is no customer toilet (as far as I know). To clean your hands, there are free wet wipes to remove the enjoyable mess from your fingers. Staff very friendly, pickup possible without any problems, no significant waiting time even for larger orders (in my case 10 burgers).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A temple of deliciousness and fun for discovery! Shotti's snack bar is like a trip back to the 90s – only with better burgers! Yes, the place looks like it's survived a few apocalypses, but that doesn't matter because the burgers are simply next-level awesome. The patties? Juicy. The fries? Crispy. The sauces? Probably from a secret recipe known only to Shotti himself. There's no decorative gimmicks or Instagram walls here – just honest food with a guaranteed flavor explosion. If you're looking for a fine ambiance, go to a Michelin-starred restaurant. If you want to discover the holy grail of fast food, come here. A definite 5 stars – and I'll be back before the place finally collapses!

I think these are the best burgers I've ever eaten. Absolutely fresh, great ingredients, generous portions and at any time of day. Many burger sizes can be configured. I have tried all of the burgers and can recommend them all. Fries are also very good. I haven't tried the rest of the menu yet, but I'm sure the high standard of cuisine runs through the entire menu. It is advisable to pre-order by phone around lunchtime. The only drawback, if you can even call it one, is that there are very few seats on site. But it's also a snack bar. I'm actually completely thrilled.

Snack bar with a few seats inside and a few in the covered outdoor area. Not a place where you want to stay for long. The crowd is mixed, as you would expect in a port and industrial area. The portions come in different sizes. As a good eater, the Mexican Burger L2 with L fries was almost too much for me. So it's better to start smaller if you're there for the first time. The waiting time was OK and it tasted delicious. Although more expensive than MCD or BK, it is worth the price. Gladly again.

For me an institution in Mannheim! The burgers are simple, the buns are bought ready-made and the ingredients don't come from the organic supermarket. But the snack bar is simply honest and not a hipster joint. So if you don't want to spend €20 on a veggie burger, but rather like really large portions with lots of meat, come here. The only drawback: I've never had good fries at Shotti's. They're always wobbly. Better take the potato wedges!

We had it delivered today via Lieferando. Arrived super on time, everything was still hot. Huge portion of fries with ketchup, mayonnaise and onions. Large portion of onion rings and two bacon burgers. Everything tasted very good. Only the lettuce on the burger was a bit soggy. But it was due to transport as they were thickly wrapped in foil. Even with a smiley face on them. We were satisfied and would like to order again. Update July 24+++ Ordered again after a long time: schnitzel with gypsy sauce (yes, he still calls it that) and champion burger + onion rings. Schnitzel was huge and tasty, fries as a side dish were soggy, unfortunately. The burger with the champion sauce was delicious. Only the soft bun took a little getting used to, it wasn't a typical burger bun, more like toasties. Maybe you could have roasted something. As always, onion rings were delicious and crispy. It was on a Monday and delivered on time. Everything was still warm.

Cult food! Every now and then it just has to be Scottish. Even though the owner has changed and there is no more Fritz-Kola, the burgers are still really tasty, and in my opinion the best far and wide, even if really good burgers can now be found elsewhere in Mannheim, The drafty wooden shed is simply iconic. Now there's even cream to go with the hip gold, i.e. French fries with cheddar cheese sauce and fried onions. Decadent! Delicious! Now add a really hot chili con carne and Columbo would be there for dinner every day. Or I....

Totally dissatisfied We waited over two hours for our order. At some point, we called the store, or at least we thought so, but a man who was a bookstore clerk answered the phone and lied to us, saying our order would arrive in the next five minutes. An hour later, the food still hadn't arrived. So embarrassing.

I just ordered a burger via Uber, and the driver forgot three of the four burgers. The restaurant confirmed this and recommended that I request a refund from Uber. So, instead of food, just aggravation. Customer service doesn't work!
