TAKE - THE GOOD FOOD in Mönchengladbach

One of the best burger restaurants in North Rhine-Westphalia

Delicious food, especially the drip burgers, and friendly staff. The owner is a really nice person. After the renovation, the ambiance will surely be 5-star quality.

Best burger in a long time and after visiting many stores.

Excellent 🫶 beautiful atmosphere, and very delicious, far better than expected.

A 3-hour delivery time is simply outrageous.

The biggest disaster! Ordered at 5 PM, still nothing. We called, and the woman on the phone said she'd call back in 5 minutes. That was 20 minutes ago! We've been waiting for 2.5 hours now, and nobody's answering the phone anymore!! Never again!

The wait was extremely long, and even longer than announced. After over two hours, we finally received cold food, which was also missing some items. The promise that the missing food would be delivered was not kept.

I received something for €30 that someone had fished out of a trash can. Thanks for that.

I just bought a burger meal. The fries were way too salty, and the burger had strange sweet undertones. The aftertaste was 100% unpleasant. Unfortunately, this review reflects my own opinion.

The food deserves 5 stars – but I initially only wanted to give it 1 star. Something went wrong with the order, and I waited almost three hours for the food. In the end, however, I received the entire order free of charge.

Waited over 2.5 hours for the food. After they couldn't keep to the promised time, I called. They told me it would take about another half hour. After half an hour, no word. I was told another half hour, and then another... No apology or anything. Instead, they laughed and said the previous customer had been too optimistic. The fries were awful, but that's typical for deliveries. Everything was just thrown haphazardly into the bag. The chicken burger was really good. The ground beef burger was salty and soggy. It used to be a great place, but today's turkey was a disappointment. The Rheydt location is much better and more organized. I'm used to the service and quality from Rheydt...

Ordered from Lieferando, called after 1.5 hours and our food wasn't even being prepared. So we drove there ourselves, and when we asked about the €3 delivery charge, they rudely shoved €4 into our hands (basically, "Here's an extra euro, just leave"). Never again!!

My colleague and I each ordered the burger meal and had it delivered to our workplace. The cheesy burger was excellent (although mine was unfortunately missing the bacon. What a shame...). Nevertheless, the burger and especially the sweet potato fries were very, very tasty. We'll definitely order again.

Very unhygienic! The guy at the cash register—I think he was the boss—wasn't wearing gloves! He touched everything: money, his pants, then the fries, the hamburger, then he scratched his arm, touched his nose, and then touched the food again. He did everything with his bare hands, without gloves! Eww. The burger was okay, but the mozzarella sticks tasted like, I don't know, expired cheese. I reheated them at home, and the cheese inside was still very hard and kind of like chewing gum. I only ate two. I threw the rest away, so I just wasted five euros. I'm never eating there again.

I've been a long-time customer of 'Take The Good Food' and have always been satisfied, but today's order was completely different. Both burgers were cold and hard, and the fries were carelessly packaged, also cold and rock hard. I filed a complaint, and while the restaurant did send me a replacement, the second burger also had a very strange, salty aftertaste and was inedible. I've given the restaurant plenty of chances, but unfortunately, the quality hasn't improved. I'll be ordering from somewhere else in the future.

Either there's a new owner or the entire team has been replaced. I ordered online for pickup and arrived at the indicated "pickup time," only to be told they wouldn't start until I arrived. What's the point of pre-ordering then? Then I waited another 30 minutes for two burgers and fries, which ended up being cold. Absolutely ridiculous! This wasn't the case last year, so something must have changed. I absolutely cannot recommend this place.

I placed an order, it was accepted, and then those idiots shut the place down. No cancellation, nothing. This has happened several times now. Maybe they should question the competence of their employees or at least hire someone who actually knows what they're doing.

We're used to long delivery times, but this time the food didn't make up for the long wait. The only good thing was the burgers, hence the two stars. The fries were completely oversalted and therefore inedible, and the ordered chili mayonnaise tasted like a completely different sauce. Then they forgot the chili poppers we ordered, which was a real shame given the late delivery. Only on our second call did they answer and tell us they would be sent later, which never happened. So we paid for something we never received. The high prices no longer reflect the quality.

The staff was very friendly. We had a mashed burger. Not my first choice. The food was... very spicy. I found it a bit too much. Too much salt, too much pepper, something else too much. The music was too loud. The whole place is on the corner of two busy streets. That doesn't leave much room for ambiance. It wasn't bad, but unfortunately not really to my taste.

The place is a bit small, but that makes it very cozy and quiet. The food was perfect. Nice and juicy, and a fair portion for the price. If you're looking for delicious food and a relaxed atmosphere, this is the place for you.

Very good burgers. Taste-wise, they could be a bit bigger for the price. It's a shame they don't have Coke without sweetener. I don't like the taste of that sugar substitute.

It's a shame, I never thought it would come to this, but unfortunately we won't be ordering from here again. They lied to us on the phone and the wait times were incredibly long. The food arrived cold and the fries were so salty, that can't be healthy.

The food was spicy even though I didn't want it to be, I vomited immediately after eating it, and it arrived 1 hour and 30 minutes cold. Sorry, I expected better. I'll never order from there again.

Ate in. Very tasty burger, although the chef seemed a bit too fond of the fries and the freshly made bacon jam. The sauce portions were very small. Overall, though, highly recommended!

You have to order before you get hungry. I've been waiting for over two hours for two burgers! And then they're rude on the phone when you try to ask where your order is. Outrageous!!!

Very good smashburgers and nuggets! I'll definitely order again. Update 10/22/2025: I have to correct my review. Unfortunately, the food arrived about 20 minutes late and was extremely salty. The nuggets and patties weren't as juicy as they were when I first ordered from TAKE.

ATTENTION! The shack in the Schaffrath parking lot is no longer occupied by TAKE THE GOOD FOOD, as they have moved to Waldnielerstraße 65 in 41068 MG. But they still offer great quality, great taste, friendly staff, and fast, always hot delivery...very, very tasty!!! The burgers are truly amazing and absolutely affordable. Affordable doesn't mean particularly cheap or inexpensive here, but rather they are worth the price. They are simply absolutely perfect and absolutely delicious! The fries are also perfect and crispy, and one portion is enough for two people. Ordering an extra pot of the delicious homemade special sauce doesn't hurt, though. Since we had our first burger at "TAKE - THE GOOD FOOD," we've never eaten a McDonald's or Burger King again...those places simply don't exist anymore. Thank you for your "GOOD FOOD," which really makes our lives a little bit better, and see you at the next TAKE. :)

Absolutely brutal shop. I'm here often, and they always deliver the same quality. I actually think they're a bit hotter than Goldies. Love goes out!

The double spicy bacon burger tastes amazing! The staff is also very friendly.

This review only comes about because they're no longer answering the phone. I would have preferred to have clarified things over the phone, but I have to write a review now. After my bad experience with your branch in Rheydt, where something was always missing from my order, I wanted to try your branch this time. Unfortunately, my order requests weren't fulfilled. I ordered a burger without sauce but it came with sauce. One of the fries was completely forgotten, and the sauces were also delivered incorrectly. So don't get me wrong, there's no point in having many branches and doing everything wrong. It's better to focus on one and do everything right. I spent over €40 on two meals and I'm really disappointed. I'm only giving it two stars because the burger was good; otherwise, it would only be one star.

Fries taste like they're a week old. When ordering, things were forgotten and mixed up. We had to make sure our food arrived and had to call 10 times before someone took care of it. This place is retarded and overrated.

Waited 1.5 hours for the order, and in the end it didn’t even come complete, and theshop was already closed! Very very disappointed!!!!! Avoid ordering from them in the evening

Ordered via Uber Eats at 9:40 PM Delivered at 11:00 PM Refund from Uber the next morning at 10:00 AM. What was once really good is now absolutely disgraceful. This was the last attempt to give you another chance. Your time management and customer service are absolutely outrageous and brazen. On top of that, the quality is getting worse and worse.

Good food the only annoying thing is that you have to wait quite a long time

The food is amazing! Unfortunately, the wait times are correspondingly long, too. Especially in the afternoons and evenings. What's quite dangerous is the floor in the store. It's completely covered in grease and slippery. At first, I thought it might happen once in a while, but unfortunately, it's a permanent condition. If you slip there, it could be expensive for the owner and painful for the customer.

We placed our order through Lieferando. After an hour and a half, we called the restaurant to ask where the delivery was. They said the driver was already on the way and it would take a maximum of 15 minutes. After two hours, we still hadn't received our food. We called again. They said the order had been lost and would be delivered immediately, which also took another 30 minutes. We finally got our food after two and a half hours. The fries were cold, and instead of sweet potato fries, we got regular ones. The burgers were delicious, but you can save yourself a lot of trouble by ordering elsewhere...

The burgers at this restaurant are delicious, juicy, and made with high-quality meat, justifying the slightly higher price. However, it's very warm and noisy inside, so I recommend sitting outside or taking your food to go. There are good seats with shade in front of the shop. Overall, I recommend it.

I've had the best burgers here so far. The sauce, the meat, and everything about the burger tastes incredibly intense and delicious. I would recommend these burgers to everyone. Very good!

EDIT: Ordering can sometimes take over two hours, which is unfortunately unacceptable. It's a shame... because the burgers are really good. Previous review: Awesome Smashburger! 🤝 The Double Cheeseburger and Chicken Burger are my recommendations.

The food is really delicious, there's not much choice... but the wait time is just ridiculous. We got it twice and then returned twice. We waited over 30 minutes for three burgers...

The food is really delicious, but you often have to think about whether you want to wait that long. Despite pre-ordering for pickup via their app or by phone and a stated wait time of 20 minutes, you end up waiting for about 30-40 minutes. The system needs to be revised, or they simply provide honest wait times!

The food tastes absolutely top-notch – but everything else is an absolute disgrace. The time management borders on disrespect. We always pre-order via the app to avoid unnecessary waiting, yet we still regularly end up waiting forever. It's possible to say it took 5-10 minutes – but 45 minutes last time, and 37 minutes again today? And then something's missing from the order. An apology or compensation? None. Apparently, neither reliability nor customer service is valued here. If the food weren't so good, the issue would have been resolved long ago for us. Unfortunately, this only leaves a bitter aftertaste that we, as customers, feel no appreciation whatsoever.

Food was delicious, staff friendly - top

Dear Team, Yesterday I visited your restaurant in Mönchengladbach (not Rheydt) and was unfortunately very disappointed by the condition. • The tables were very dirty and greasy. • The floor was greasy. • The screens above the cash register were covered with a thick layer of grease. • Additionally, the entire dining area was filled with smoke/fumes as soon as the burger patties were prepared. The unhygienic conditions have already made me feel unwell while waiting, and since yesterday I've also had stomach upset – I hope it's not related to the visit. I would like to continue eating at your restaurant, but for now I will only visit the Rheydt branch. I'll check out the Mönchengladbach location again in a few weeks, hoping that the hygiene situation will have improved by then. Please take hygiene and cleanliness seriously – this is of great importance both for your guests and for your company's reputation.

We ordered from Take Burger today via Uber Eats and are unfortunately very disappointed. The delivery took a total of 2.5 hours. We ordered at 7:50 p.m., but the delivery was promised between 8:45 p.m. and 9:05 p.m. However, we didn't receive our food until 10:30 p.m. – and that only after asking twice. There were also several problems with the order: • One portion of fries and three portions of truffle mayo were missing. • Two burgers were delivered incorrectly (among other things, the "Take Burger" had barbecue sauce instead of the house sauce). • Both portions of sweet potato fries were partially raw. • There was significantly too much pepper on all the patties, so the burgers tasted very spicy to everyone. • The entire meal was cold. Of course, mistakes can always happen, but in this case, unfortunately, many things came together – from the extremely long delivery time to missing and incorrect products to poor quality. Overall, a very disappointing experience. We would have refrained from writing such a public review. Unfortunately, we were unable to contact the store directly, as there was no email address available online or on their website.

I knew the place from Düsseldorf and was really disappointed by the differences. Firstly, the cashier was totally unfriendly, even though the place was empty. The food tasted completely different than usual. The patty was abnormally thin, and even hours later, I still had a stomach ache. The cooks seemed nice, but the cashier didn't greet me at all and was irritated because she didn't know what I wanted within a second. I wouldn't go there again.

Anyone ordering here should have eaten well beforehand—otherwise, you'll starve while waiting. 40 minutes was promised, but after 70 minutes, I call and am told: "Normal, a lot of orders came up." Could I pick up the order myself? Oh, I see, the order order here is a matter of luck. I waited over 90 minutes the first time—so no surprise, just consistently poor service. On top of that, the food wasn't even delivered lukewarm. Very meager!!!!!!

I've been there many times and have ordered regularly, and it's always been great! Delivery is always fast and reliable, the guys are super friendly, and the burgers are simply delicious! 🍔🙌

Good burgers. Everything was delicious, but unfortunately, the wait times were a bit long during peak times.

The best burgers in town! Very friendly staff! A huge thank you goes to Nuri, who was very nice and attentive! I'll definitely be back! 🤙🏼

I ordered food, but the fries were reheated and arrived inedible. I called a very rude lady who then hung up on me after saying they'd send a driver out. All in all, the burger was delicious as always, but for that price, you should get something decent. Best regards Restelica

Super delicious burgers, but you really need to work on your punctuality! Expected pickup time 8:05 PM - 8:26 PM. Order still not ready! (2 burgers)

Good food, friendly service, fast service, indoor and outdoor seating. Top spot, would definitely go back 👌

I once ate there with a colleague. The burgers tasted okay – edible, but nothing special. For €10-11 per burger, I honestly expected more. The pieces are quite small; after three bites, the thing was practically gone. What really bothered me: We ordered two different burgers, but we got two that looked exactly the same. Nobody said which was which – we had to bite into them and guess. Of course, everyone got the wrong one at first. We didn't think it was a big deal, but that shouldn't happen. The ambiance is nothing special either. Just standard. No atmosphere that sticks. And the smell of grease permeates the entire street – not exactly inviting. Overall, okay, but not convincing for the price. There are better alternatives.

The shop is absolutely filthy!!!! The toilets have been blocked for a week!!! Believe me, a portable toilet is cleaner! The first shop was much better!!! I'm not coming here anymore!!! Disgusting!

A burger joint located at the junction of Mönchengladbach. The burger 🍔 was not too bad, bread good, lettuce good, sauce good, just the patty was a bit overcooked hence oily. Other than that, everything here is on point, including the service.

📍 Take the Good Food Address: Waldnieler Straße 65, 41068 Mönchengladbach, Germany --- ⭐ Review: 3 stars I was curious about Take the Good Food, as the Mönchengladbach shop has been hyped a lot in recent months – especially on social media. So I thought I'd give it a try and see if the burger joint was really worth all the fuss. The verdict: It was okay, but nothing special. The shop itself looks modern and stylish – everything is well done, the ambiance is perfect. The selection is solid, but nothing you haven't seen in countless other burger joints. I ordered a classic burger with fries. The wait time was okay, the staff friendly – ​​no complaints about the service. As for the taste: It was okay, but nothing more. The meat was well-cooked, the bun soft, the sauces quite tasty – but it was a completely standard burger, the kind you can find on seemingly every other corner these days. Neither the meat nor the ingredients stood out in any way. The fries were okay, but nothing memorable. I honestly expected a bit more – especially given the reputation the place has now gained. Maybe I had too high expectations, but for me personally, this wasn't a culinary highlight, but rather solidly average. If you happen to be nearby, you can stop by – but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. In a city with so many burger joints these days, you have to offer more than just "okay." Honestly, I don't really understand the hype.

The food tastes good. Delicious and excellent. But sorry, the place isn't dirty...no, it's filthy. You really need to take action. Everything is sticky, and you can see it hasn't been properly cleaned in a while. What a shame. Because this food deserves better.

90 minutes after ordering, the food arrived cold. Better ignore this place.

The food itself tastes good, except that I personally find the buns too soft. Delivery is a problem; it often takes forever or you're forgotten! They also forget additional ingredients but charge you for them! I also have a complaint about how the food is packaged when it's delivered. Hygiene is a concern, which can't be maintained and also offers little security for the customer. Burgers shouldn't be left open, but packed in bags; that would keep everything warm. Both on the phone and in person, everyone is always friendly; cleanliness often stops at the restrooms. All in all, it's okay, but there's still work to be done.

Awesome burger. I ordered a double cheese burger and a chicken burger, both as part of the menu. The interior wasn't that great, but the burgers made up for it.

Great food, but the delivery is really abysmal. I live 5 minutes away by car and wait 2 hours for my food...

Super delicious burgers. The homemade sauce is amazing.

The store is falling apart no matter where you look. I was really surprised by how dirty the floor was in the corners; everything was a bit dirty upon closer inspection. The food was OK.

The in-house delivery service is overwhelmed when you provide a foreign phone number. I've ordered from all over the world, but only in Germany are they either too stingy or unable (WhatsApp would be free) to call or deliver to a foreign number.

In my opinion, the burgers are highly recommended. The sides are also decent. The staff is friendly. We'll be eating here again soon.

The food was good as always, which is why I'm rating the place. The tables were very dirty, you couldn't even sit comfortably on them; one table even started to wobble. I get the feeling the staff aren't in the mood to work, but like I said, the food is quite delicious.

Top-seasoned burgers at a great price/performance ratio. A small, cozy shop with an outdoor seating area, ideal for summertime dining. Friendly, smiling staff.

Ooooohaaa I'm surprised at the really awesome burgers!!!! It's been a long time since I've had such a good burger! Everyone should try the store for 100 points

Great burgers! Menu in the store is written way too small and a bit difficult to look at on the cell phone. Overall, still absolutely recommended.

It was a service request. Daniel helped me contact the Old Town branch as there was no number. It was about an entertainment receipt that should be submitted later. Thank you for the support

I've never eaten such a delicious burger. The meat is extremely crispy and well seasoned. The cheese is really tasty, the bread and the made sauce round everything off perfectly. This is really, really good.

The fact that these are smashed burgers is a bit lost when you're there for the first time and look at the menu hanging high up. Smashed means that the pattie is crispier, but at the same time less juicy. I had a Smoky BBQ, the sauce was a little hotter than you would normally expect from BBQ sauce. Still, the burger was tasty. Unfortunately, the fries are below average, although thin, crispy and far too much per portion as they are hardly seasoned (only salt). Plus truffle mayo for 50 cents extra in a tiny amount that isn't even enough for half the fries. I don't know where it comes from, but truffle mayo isn't anything special. 400 or 500 ml at Edeka costs around €7. There was maybe 20 ml in the pot.

I usually order from Lieferando. Delivery times are UNDERGROUND. More than 2 hours waiting time. Not even an apology or anything. One employee is always very unfriendly (doesn't even say hello etc. and is playing with his cell phone or talking on the phone all the time). How about you get off your asses and provide reasonable services for the prices?

You can only give the whole thing a 10/10. There is something for everyone, very diverse & fresh & I can personally recommend the drip burger & the pastrami sandwich, especially for meat lovers! When you look at the burgers you can tell that the meat is freshly prepared, which is a huge plus. Price-performance ratio is therefore great! You pay around €15 for a menu. The side dishes are also very diverse, as is the selection of drinks. The delivery time is also absolutely solid & the food always arrives hot! All in all, highly recommended :)

Unfortunately not a single vegan burger. What's the point of offering a vegan pattie if even the bread isn't vegan?

The food is always delicious and we order there every Friday. However, lately it is taking an incredibly long time for the food to be delivered. Waited 2.5 hours today and unfortunately always around 2 hours the last few times, even though the restaurant is 5 minutes away. Very unfortunate...

The food is very good, but the shop is not recommended locally, but the food remains good. Loading rating: You turn around the toilets straight away, everything is dirty. Shop furnishings are falling apart and people are afraid to sit on the benches. Music is very loud so you can't have a quiet conversation. The door to the outside does not close itself and is always open so that there is a draft in the seating areas. Staff very unfriendly and with an uncaring attitude. Burgers are very good and taste great. Recommendation is to go to Rheydt to eat rather than in Gladbach

Disappointing experience - never again! I ordered from Take the Good Food, which is only 450 meters away from me as the crow flies. Quoted delivery time: 40-60 minutes. Actual delivery time: over 2 hours! Then the driver calls and says he can't drive in - I should meet him. Absolutely unprofessional. When I called the restaurant to ask, they were also rude on the phone. That's not how customer service works. The food was okay, but after this waiting time and the poor service you'll lose your hunger. My first and last order!

Highly recommended, always happy

The food is really tasty but you really can't trust the delivery times

Actually always been very tasty. But recently it has no longer been possible, at least with the delivery service. After waiting for over an hour, the side dishes for the burger menu were forgotten. So we only got the burgers. After another hour the fries arrived (which were basically cold)...but the drink was forgotten again. It's not the first time something has been forgotten and you can't expect more than a sorry as compensation. Maybe it's better to order locally, but I would now advise against ordering.

Unfortunately only two stars, with our first order the food arrived cold and sticky after about 2 hours. Since we wanted to give it another chance, we ordered there again, which was unfortunately also disappointing. The delivery time was again 2 hours long, the food was good, but one chip was missing. As an apology, I was given extra fries and 2 drinks, but I'm still very disappointed because of the long waiting time and the poor service.

Ordered for the first time and totally satisfied. Super tasty. I would have loved to eat a second burger straight away 😅

Food, drinks and staff top. Highly recommended!

One of the tastiest burgers ever!! The sweet potato fries with homemade sauce are also highly recommended!

To be honest, I won't buy anything here again based on this number. Worst service and unfriendly drivers – that’s it for me!

Waiting time is about 60 min, who have time for this ?

Grabbed lunch while traveling through. Good flare of burgers, fries, and mozzarella sticks. I will add asked for no cheese on my burger the cashier asked if I wanted butter as well.

So to be honest, at some point it's over. How often do you want to give a store a chance? This constant delivery time is exceeded, no more orders arrive in less than 2 hours, no matter when you order, ridiculous, Then last time there was a lid of some kind of sauce in the burger, which is also normal for these people.

Delivery is always clearly late, realistically 2 hours. - The price-performance ratio isn't right here, the food is generally delicious, but the meat is always too peppery and far too expensive for what you get, not to mention the optional extras. Only recommended if you have too much time and want overpriced food.

Good burgers, just a bit overpriced!

Great food, rarely eaten so well. I can only recommend 🙂

So far only ordered there. But for me the best burgers and fries in town. The sauces and mayo portions could be a little more.

One of the best burgers i ever tasted You Rock guyd

Waited 2 hours for the food and of course it was already cold

The meat was way too salty, the food generally came way too late and then it was really so salty that you couldn't eat it without drinking

The best food I've ever eaten. The store is very, very nice. Maybe the toilet could be a little cleaner, but otherwise it's a great store

We really enjoy going there. We are there several times a month. Food is very tasty. Unfortunately the sauce portions are small and you have to buy two to eat one portion of fries. The staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, the temperatures are currently very cold if you want to sit down there.

Took more than 2 hours for the food to get here. The food wasn't tasty. Even McDonalds is better
