Freddy Schilling

Freddy Schilling is a Must Go Place when in cologne - one of the best burgers with absolutely awesome meat of high quality!

The atmosphere is very nice, there are seats, but you can also eat standing up in front of the restaurant.

The prices are fair, not low, but fair since the quality of the meat is amazing!

I would definitely recommend anyone to go here when looking for a nice American-like burger!

Only critique: it can take some time until you get your food, which personally bothers me somewhatN

I am more the Sushi Type but with all the burger shops popping up in Cologne and Bonn I decided to try one finally and began at the top of the list.
I was at Freddy Shilling for lunch and had a Big Kahuna with French Fries. It was a tip from a fellow yelper. The taste was alright. I liked the combination of sweet sour and spicy. Bread bun was too soft. I wouldn't say it's the best burger ever. Service was very attentive although it is a self service place. It's more of a lunch place. You should be early if you do not want to wait. But you could also order it beforehand via phone call. If you are in business outfit you should eat outside or have take away. Because bbqueing is done in front of you the room is quite smelly.
I would definitely return to this place and have a go at one of the veggie burgers!

So since coming to Germany my protein intake has dramatically decreased and I have been craving probably one of the most American foods there is, a burger. So after doing a little research on Yelp I stumbled across Freddy Schilling. The reviews were good and thought I should give it a try.

First I will start off with the restaurant itself, it is a little small and there isn't enough seating for the amount of people that want to eat their and since we had a free seat at our table people were constantly asking if they could have our seat and even how much longer we were going to be eating which I thought was rude. Then the service is a little strange because you pay before you eat and then a waiter brings your food out and yells your name, then you raise your hand and they bring the food to your table. Not the best when it can be noisy at times.

Now to the reason why this is a go to place for any burger lover, the burgers! So my girlfriend and I wanted to try two burgers so we each order one and then split them. Te first burger was the Big Kahuna and it was a burger with a sweet sauce and a pineapple on the burger which was pretty good. But the Ziegenpeter burger was one of the best burgers I have ever had. A huge thick piece of goat cheese, with rucola salad, honey, apple and a sweet sauce with a perfectly cooked burger. If I could complain a little it would be to have a better bun or bread to compliment the burger better. We ordered potatoes with rosemary on them instead of fries and it came with a really good quark dipping sauce.

All around it only cost about $25 for my girlfriend and I and we each had a beer, potatoes and two burgers. That's pretty good if you ask me. So for anyone craving some burgers this is a place I would recommend, it will settle your burger cravings I promise!

Lecker, Lecker, Lecker That was one of the best Cheeseburgers that my wife and I have had in a very long time. The meat was so very tasty and juicy- I'm sure I will dream of that burger for a long time. Too bad we have to leave town on Friday because those burgers and fries are like no other. I'm totally serious!

A great little burger shop in Zulpicher. The Tante Tiziana Burger was well constructed with Parmesan, arugula, and a creamy sauce. The bun is quality. It's a big, a bit messy burger, but quite delicious. For 7.40 Euro, the burger isn't cheap, but a great lunch.

There's a bit of outside seating as well if you're a group and would like to people watch.

We ordered burgers for take away. As we arrived they said there was no order. We then found out that we dialed the wrong number, from Eigelstein. But this was absolutely not clear to us as the PDF which you can download on their web page only shows one telephone number. But this was the wrong one for us. So I would recommend to change the contact details on this PDF so that it is clear which number to dial. Saves time and frustration for all.

To the burgers: as usual they have a great quality. But to be honest, eat them directly there. At home they got a bit too squishy.

All in all I have to reduce the stars this time due to the order issue.

The very first experience was actually pretty good - within the first week of their opening.Staff was very friendly,burger was above average quality. Now, years later and after about a dozen visits, this place will not see a returning customer in me again. Do not expect to be treated nicely! Zero to 5 fucks are given regarding customer care. No smiles. Not even a hello for me. Annoyed reaction upon asking if credit cards are being accepted( they are not, and its 2017! Guys!) 40 minute wait time. Dont ask me things like " does the burger taste good"!? Smalltalk bullshit. Every staff member looks so damn annoyed about the fact that they have a job to do - and thats one thing only; deliver the quality they brag about! Unfortunately, the lack of enthusiasm and negative vibe of forced hard labor transfers to the potential customer and it shows!
Sorry guys, you started out as a real tough contender but if you dont like working there.. if you dont like to make people happy with an outstanding product that you once were able to serve, quit it!

The meat is not the best you can find in the city and there are a lot veggies in it so the taste of meat is a bit hidden.
But good overall burger, must try in Cologne

I had heard from a lot of friends that this place was great, so i came here with high expectations.
Got the Man-sized Big Kahuna with Bacon & fries...challenge accepted.
There's only one word to describe the Burger... AWESOME!
Until now, it's one of the best burgers i've had in Germany, so it's going to be really hard from now on to beat it.
Pretty Big Burger, the beef was perfect, juicy, not overcooked, tasted incredible combined with the pineapple and the Kahuna Sauce, the bun was also great, just a regular bun nothing fancy, the salad was really fresh and tasted good, the right amount of it.
The fries where just good.
The whole experience in Freddy Schilling was really pleasant, the staff is really nice and friendly, and when you're used to the middle age German customs where everywhere you go, you're referred to as Mr. even from people twice your age, well, is nice to be treated as an equal and being called by your name.
Kudos, really a better feeling.
You notice that the guys working here are having fun, because they're joking and somehow fooling around a bit, and that's a good sign, they enjoy working here, and happy people deliver better results.
And that's the key for such an amazing little place.
I noticed it gets full in a matter of minutes.
There are 2 things i can say i didn't really love, the bench was somehow uncomfortable and the soft drink selection.
For my meal i paid almost 16€, but believe me it was really worth it.
This place is really on the Major Leagues.

Try their Tante Tiziana Burger and you don't want to eat another burger again: Parmesan on oven-baked tomatoes with some mediterranean sauce on top. Plus a patty that screams high quality meat.

People were shooting videos about that thing.

As a side you can have rosemary potatoes. That should also tell you something.

This is a little hole in the wall in the heart of Cologne. 5 Stars for that one.
