Star Diner Essen

When arriving at the restaurant willing to get a table for my family we had a terrible experience. Seems it’s more important to the staff to get Hallo greetings even if we don’t speak German than being courteous with customers. Too bad we could understand...German and even understood the offensive words from one of the waiters. We didn’t stay to eat and wouldn’t try the restaurant again when back to the region.

Came sunday at when they were supposed to be open. Doors locked, waitress inside, showed us they open at

Quiet location. They try to convey an authentic American ambiente and they do succeed. Eveyrthing looks like in the US of A. The plates are pretty delicious, the milk shakes are a must, the prices are ok. Major disadvantage: the location (in the middle of...nowhere)... would visit it again though.

As an American who lived in the area for years, I appreciated having this taste of home nearby. However, if you are just visiting Essen it is far from a must...especially as it is well off the beaten path. The burgers are GOOD, but not...exceptional. The things I would recommend off of the large menu that are relatively difficult to find elsewhere in town are the eggs (true diner-style omelettes) and desserts.
