Not only was it super tasty but it was also lovingly prepared.
The boss was super friendly and just before closing...
All I can say is super super super
Everything was very tasty, very friendly and personable, attentive service.
The Lebanese red wine and the olives, which were (among other things) as a greeting from the kitchen) are highly recommended.
Delicious BBQ experience with small flaws - but definitely worth a visit!
I went to Raph's BBQ Diner on Saturday and tried the Holy Trinity Platter as well as Raph's Smoky Bratwurst and Skin-on Fries - a real feast for meat lovers!
The brisket and the pulled pork were outstanding: wonderfully tender, juicy and tasty. The two BBQ sauces included – a real poem, perfectly balanced and wonderfully aromatic.
Unfortunately, I was less impressed by the ribs, which I personally found to be too fatty. The taste is ok, but a little more balance would have been nice.
The coleslaw was crunchy and tasty, the pickled onions went perfectly with it with their mild acidity. The mac 'n' cheese was okay, but for my taste it could have used a little more spice or character. The cornbread tasted good, but was a bit too dry and crumbly for me.
The smoky bratwurst tasted great, but I found it too big. I would find a smaller portion at a correspondingly lower price more attractive - then I might even have wanted to try a second variety.
Finally, a delicious brownie rounded off the meal successfully - juicy and sweet, just right as a dessert.
The staff were consistently attentive and very friendly - you feel welcome here. The ambience in the winter garden is simple, somewhat reminiscent of a beer garden: functional, but with charm.
A small downer for me was that dogs are allowed. During my visit there was a very barking dog at the next table, which was quite loud due to the acoustics in the winter garden. The fact that he even appeared under my table wasn't ideal - but that's a personal assessment and isn't included in the rating because the topic of dog tolerance is very individual.
Overall 4 out of 5 stars – a successful BBQ spot that I can definitely recommend!
Not all dishes are freshly cooked, and you could taste the difference. But apart from that the food just didn’t make the cut and I don’t think I’ll come here again. But on the positive side it’s nice and spacious and great location. Service is fast and the people are nice. So if you are not too fussy about food and just need to chill and rested after shopping 🛍️ it’s a decent place.
A new, always unusual menu every day with guinea fowl, quail and much more depending on the season, plus a pleasant, upscale atmosphere without being fake. Great, courteous service from Salvatore without being intrusive, and good wine selection. What more could you want?
Really good restaurant! We went there for the gluten free options. The pizza was really good and the pasta (tagliatelle) was also very tasty. I recommend the ice cream for dessert. The staff is also very friendly. Highly recommended.
Unfortunately a very disappointing experience. The three of us - one woman and two men - were turned away right at the entrance, without any explanation. The manner was extremely rude and disrespectful. However, while we waited outside, groups of four men and tourists from other backgrounds were let in without any problem. Since we previously spoke in Turkish, it is reasonable to suspect that our rejection is due to our origins. For us this is clearly a case of discrimination. Something like this should have no place in an open and diverse society. Very unfortunate.
If you run a business, the owner should also be aware that there are customers who check the opening times on Google and drive off to the store especially from Pulheim. You should update the opening times if they are closed.
Have a nice vacation
The Neotaste 2 for 1 pizza was perfect. It was delicious and there were so many vegan options! You can help yourself to chili and garlic oil as you please :) Unfortunately, there was a bit too much vegan cheese on it, and the atmosphere wasn't all that cozy, but we'd still come back :) Great value for money!
