  • I went here as a kid, back in the 90s and still remember this place like it was yesterday - the food being cooked over the hot grill and the geyser, it's still exactly the same which is nice

  • I've been here years ago was great experience. Around that grill you can hardly stand. The heat penetrates your shoes real quick.

  • Ich habe diese Tour auch schon mit gemacht als ich ein kleiner Junge mit 6 Jahren war. Nun möchte ich sie gerne meinem Sohn ermöglichen. Schön zu sehen daß es anscheinend noch genauso interessant ist wie früher
