Doris Diner American Restaurant, Rotherbaum, Hamburg

This is not "american diner food"! Customers beware the chili fries and hamburgers (burgers were like the frozen ones you buy at a supermarket).

Doris Diner is a nice, small "american style" diner in grindel which serves stereotypical american cuisine - burgers, fries, and grilled sandwiches. I ordered a bacon-cheese burger which was large and tasty, with just the right amount of pickles (not too much, not too little). I received a large helping of "fat fries" and a small amount of coleslaw. Service was quick and friendly, the prices are moderate - I paid around 8 euros for my burger meal (without drinks).

They actually serve lemonade here, which is very rare in Germany - most places aren't even familiar of the concept.

UPDATE:

I just moved into the area, so I went here over the weekend for breakfast. HOLY MOLY it was the best eat-out breakfast I've ever had. I had their "Ham n' Eggs" which is a stock standard American diner breakfast with bacon, eggs and toast, and to wash it down? REAL iced tea! A friend had blueberry muffins with maple syrup. Mmmm!! This is now one of my top favorite restaurants in Hamburg.

UPDATE 2:

Recently stopped eating meat, so I'm glad to report that Doris officially has the best veggie cheeseburgers in town. Yay!

Liron invited me to try this place for a little reminder of “home”. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with the curly fries. They’ve got another for curly fries. Twisters, I think. The fries were really good, the burger was a little heavy on the toppings and sauce (not unusual for Germany, I’ve found). It wasn’t bad though, I just prefer my burgers with less ketchup and stuff.

The lemonade was also good, a nice suggestion from Liron. Don’t forget to ask for it with regular water, not sparkling (unless you like sparkling lemonade).

Edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention that our waiter was super cute and nice, even though we confused him a little bit with our indecisive switching between English and German
