Honestly, I liked this place a lot. It is spacious and the food is very good. However, in two times out of the three times we visited the place, we were charged in the bill more than we ordered.

The last time we were there, December 2024, it was very bad. We ordered two small burgers with side dishes. We emphasized we wanted small burgers. The man who got our orders also said "yes, small, noted."

(Small meaning it has 100 grams of meat, compared to the large one having 200 grams of meat)

We were surprised that we had to pay for large burgers (pay more than 12 Euros extra). When we told the waiter that we definitely ordered small burgers, she simply said "what you ate was definitely large".

You know, when my food comes, I cannot weigh the meat with my hand to know if it is 100 grams or 200.

We were looking at each other awkwardly. Then waiter said "if you really want, I can talk to the kitchen to see what you really ordered". Honestly the situation was too uncomfortable. We just paid the extra money and left. Unfortunately I don't feel like going...

I went by this place in the afternoon cause I was missing a piece of the US. Saw some people inside but didn't know they closed for a couple hours after lunch so took a look around lo see if they were open or I could at least see a posted menu. When I didn't find anything and started to leave, one of the workers inside came to the door and started loudly and very rudely yelling in German. He essentially said can't you see we are closed and told me to get the hell out of there. How am I supposed to know that they closed when there are people inside? Maybe they blocked it off so you have only one entry way? I wanted to try this place but if they are going to act like that to a customer, I won't bother and I'll tell the Americans to avoid this place and get this place banned. It'll make a difference and with an attitude like that, no food...
