Green Smoke Cologne

The best burger I have ever eaten, smash burger always recommended and the best workers

Green smoke is the best barbecue in Cologne, would recommend to anybody visiting the area.

After our hike, we were warmly welcomed and felt very comfortable. Very polite and attentive staff. Ver carta

A really great dinner with really great food! The service is super nice and attentive. I can only recommend this restaurant to everyone! (Take the Cheese Vulcano!

Side dishes like mac and cheese were good, but the main dishes like the steak were incredibly tough and difficult to chew. Service was incredibly good, very friendly and courteous waiters.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung, tolles Fleisch und ein schönes Ambiente. Leider saßen wir direkt an einem Lautsprecher, es war sehr laut. Erst im Nachhinein haben wir gemerkt wie laut es eigentlich war. Egal, das Essen war sehr gut und uns hat es gefallen. Ver carta

Sure, here's the friendlier version honest, but with a constructive tone: ⸻ Unfortunately, we were unable to fully confirm the many positive reviews about the smoked meat. Maybe we just had a bad moment it seemed a little dry and more reminiscent of leftovers from the day before. With a 45 minute wait and the announcement that it was special, we expected a little more. The service team was even warmer and in a good mood that definitely made the visit more pleasant.

Unfortunately, despite the high rating, the establishment was disappointing. The steaks were dry and bland. Our order was misunderstood several times and we ended up being billed for additional items that we didn't order. Instead of apologies from the staff, we received criticism and an offer to express our dissatisfaction directly to the boss if we don’t like something. With such obviously overpriced dishes, we expected much higher quality. The burger wasn't bad and the kid liked it, but the steaks were disgusting at 30 euros each.

We were in Cologne yesterday and tried the place for the first time after hearing so many good things about it – and what can I say: It was totally worth it! The service was great, especially the young blonde waitress (sorry, I forgot to ask her name) who was incredibly friendly and accommodated all our requests. The manager was also really attentive, checking several times to make sure everything was okay, and was generally super friendly. The food was not only beautifully presented, but also incredibly delicious – I haven't eaten anything this good in a long time. I definitely recommend it! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Cologne. Ver carta
