    This place gives Chiiraq A Bad Name. Why would Some ordinary looking Below Ordinary tasting BBQ Joint Smell Not of Fire or Smoke? Because where there Is no Smoke there is No Fire. To be fourth in Europe Says how low the standards Are here. Shocking was The price quantity and Quality. The Wack n Cheese... I have to take a moment Before I continue. Have they EVER tasted Mac n Cheese. Well actually Baked macaroni and cheese WITH LIGHT BREADCRUMB TOPPING? Apparently not. This dry over baked over Breaded tasteless concoction Had my relatives laughing Or Crying in the afterlife. I've had better from a box. The pulled pork stringy Tasteless Tough & dry. Ruined further by kimchi Jalapeños on top. Why? The Ribs had no Grill flavor, Because it hadn't been Smoked or Grilled. What baffled me was The Brisket. Tender Tasty And for the very little I Got quite good. 5 slices For 2. And I ate one before The 'meal' to find 1/3 of it To be fat. My 'Friends' in The 'Chi' don't look kindly On their city being disrespected. You might want to be Cleveland Williams. or Kalamazoo Williams. p.s. 45 euro later I'm still Craving BBQ.

    The bar, the place where you are welcomed and the concept is explained.

    This American BBQ meat joint has a small menu, but the variety should be enough to please any meat lover. We went with a two person meat platter (~600 gr. of meat!!). Our pick enabled us to select three meat items from the menu: bbq ribs, sausage, home made beef brisket, pulled BBQ pork and BBQ chicken. We went for the latter three + cole slaw for a side dish (included). The pulled pork and chicken were simply amazing. Tender, juicy and tasty. The home made beef brisket is a good start , but there is room for improvement on the flavor (stronger dry-rub or more salt and acidity maybe?). The dishes came with two sorts of BBQ sauce, spicy and non-spicy. Both good! I would rate the food four stars as it isn't perfect but pretty darn good. It's the total experience that makes me rate it with an fifth. The service is fast and friendly, and you are welcomed with an appetizer. Although located in Mitte, this restaurant isn't pricey at all. You could easily settle for under €18 each. In our case that included the two person meat platter, a 0,5L bio hefe weiss beer and a Moscow Mule cocktail. PS: without drinks you could even settle for under ~€13.

    Tray for 2 people - ribs, chicken, pulled pork. 25 euro! Come with one big side.

    Chicago Williams is a true BBQ-gem in Berlin. They serve kickass meats and super sideorders. You'll get value for money if you order the trays! There's def enough food for 2 VERY hungry people if you chose a tray for 2 e.g. We got three kinds of meat (Pulled pork, ribs and chicken) and a large sideorder of our choice. We also ordered a mac'n'cheese which we came to realize was def too much food - we couldn't eat any of the pulled pork and decided to bring it home instead. Their drinks are good and strong and they have a large(!!!) selection of beers! The service is splendid and the owner is always up for a chit chat about meat, beer or anything else really. Oh, and you get a free appetizer before you order - we got a great corn chowder :)

    Platter for three (ribs, pulled pork, pastrami) and 4 sides (mash&gravy, cole slaw, baked beans, mac'n'cheese)

    Stylish place with hipster waiters but not very authentic food for those who have experienced the real American bbq taste... We had a meat platter for three with a couple additional sides. Size and price were appropriate but the meats (ribs, pulled pork & pastrami) were missing the little something that would have made it an authentic US bbq. But still it's a fun atmosphere and definitely a unique place in Berlin! And I guess for a German-American bbq the best it can be!

    Porn Rib Sandwich. Legendary.

    I love this place! Come here quite often, every time I have a craving for BBQed goods. I love the Porn Rib sandwich. Best Rib sandwich I've ever had. I like their style of serving people. It's not your typical stuck up attitude. I like the fact that they're very down to earth. It's a BBQ joint, for crying out loud, not a posh restaurant.

    Great food and superfriendly service. We had a platter for 2 and were stuffed after. Next time i'm in Berlin i will eat here again , no doubt!

    Very nice place. They serve you a nice corn soup as a starter - very good one. And after a long search we might have found our new ,,bbq place" in berlin. We had the plate for two persons and mac&cheese. I loved the smokey taste of the ribs and the chicken and for sure it was the beste pulled pork I've ever had in berlin.

    That's not a rib, that's a finger.  That might be a rib from an armadillo, but Germany doesn't have armadillos.

    Fantastic local place to get some low-frills eats and beer! Very friendly staff who accommodated us…read morewithout a hitch. We came here after having been turned away by an Indonesian restaurant that was "full for the night". We are so glad that fate brought us here instead of that Indonesian restaurant!! What were we even thinking anyway -- forget the Indonesian food, get the local specialities!! Ordered the schnitzel as well as the meatballs and both were executed perfectly. Schnitzel was hot and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside -- not overly salty either. Meatballs were juicy and packed with flavor from the minced onions that they had mixed in. The beer (we ordered a Pilsner) was the best that we had tried in all of the Berlin and Dresden restaurants that we visited. I believe it is from some small private brewery affiliated with the restaurant somehow. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right, so definitely order the house beer. Super cozy seating (you'll probably be sharing a table with other guests) and packed all night long but amazing vibes and casual comfort food. Would come back if I ever visit Berlin again!

    They must have expanded as the menu seems the same and it was quite big and clean. Not a dive at…read moreall. Also they take credit cards. We tried to go to a nearby Greek place but they were full and kind of rude too. We walked over here and the place was empty at 6:30 pm so a bit worried. No need. The draft Pilsner was very excellent and the food was outstanding and reasonably priced. We got pork schnitzel and meatballs and it was really very tasty. Would recommend!
