    Das gute!!!
    Jason N.

    It is true, this casual, very reasonably priced Bavarian place has made the English guidebooks for sure. Yet on a cold January evening, we found ourselves to be the only apparent tourists in a packed to capacity house. The modern farmhouse aesthetic with blond wood tables is lovely. The beer selection is awesome. Just go down the list and order 2 or 3 during your evening to sample the lot. I was not disappointed with any. The standouts of the food were the pretzel with spicy mustard, (which puts NYC iterations to absolute shame) and the goopy potato-cucumber salad that accompanied the wurst platter was simply outstanding. The salad with pumpkinseed oil and apple cider was refreshing. The sausages were relatively average and the leek and potato gratin (think vegetarian lasagna) was merely ok. We arrived on the late side so our first choices of soup and entree were no longer available as night's supply was exhausted. The host is absolutely charming, the barmaid a bit gruff, and the waitresses pleasant. We were made comfortable to linger as long as we wanted. Our bill, with two entrees, a couple pretzels, a salad and four beers, came to a mere 46 euro before tip. Make a reservation ahead of time to ensure a spot without a wait, and go on the earlier side so that what might look most appealing to you on the menu will not have sold out for the evening.

    Wiener Schnitzel (small)

    Excellent Wiener Schnitzel (organic veal) and top-notch service. A classy place to chill with a beer and a nice meal . The potato and cucumber dish that accompanied the schnitzel was also fantastic. I order the small schnitzel and my husband ordered the large. The bread provided with our beers was fresh and hot with a lovely herb spread. Table service was extremely attentive and efficient.

    One good german restaurant!

    I am vegetarian and enjoyed the Mushroom dumplings, vegetable strudel, a salad, and Bavarian cream with cherries.

    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!

    We approached this place with caution. Our favorite place around the corner had closed, we were…read morehungry and we found that this place was close by on Yelp. The outside reveals nothing about this wonderful restaurant. We opened the door and were immediately greeted by a number of patrons at the cozy bar. This is a non smoking bar so none of that pesky smoke! We walked through the tiny bar to the dining area in the back. There are only a few tables so keep your fingers crossed that you get one! The bartender greeted us with menus and took our drink order. The Chef came out and said "I am here to take your order since I am cooking it!" She was very pleasant and ready to please. My wife ordered a small side salad and I ordered Weiner Schnitzel. The Chef was unimpressed with my wife's order and chastised her for watching her figure! I wanted french frys but the Chef encouraged me to try her homemade fried potatoes with the promise that I wouldn't be disappointed. I wasn't! When the food came out the Chef told my wife that she had brought two pieces of toast in addition to the small salad because one can not exist on salad alone and by the way, she had placed extra large portions of Schnitzel and potatoes on my plate because she was confident that my wife would want some of mine. She wasn't wrong with that analysis. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding and this is sure to be a regular stop for us while we are in Berlin. This is like taking a step back in German dining history. The Chef was also the owner and took great pride in providing us with a memorable meal!

We had the pork shank and the game goulash. The goulash was fantastic. Yes cabbage was perfect. The potatoes wrestle pork shank were probably cooked in bacon fat and were sublime. My only nit to pick is the dumplings with the goulash were flavorless gooey dough balls. Drinks: Excellent draft beer. Try the Duckstein red! It's fantastic. Also the "Potato Snap" (like a home brewed vodka) is a fun and interesting shot before dinner! Service: Rather slow but the poor wait staff are completely overworked. Ambiance: Quaint, almost like a dining room in an old home. Value: For the quality, value is solid. Dinner and beer for 2 with 5% tip for just under 100 Euros.

    This is far from the Berlin city center but was recommended by a local. This is worth it! We made…read morereservations and highly recommend because this is a smaller restaurant. Service: young girl was our waitress and was very busy but very friendly. She was not able to checkup on us after we ordered, so order everything you need. Drinks: they had 3 beer on draught, got the red blonde and it was delicious made me think of an Irish Red. Food: we ordered potato soup and it was delicious! Creamy yet chunky. The bread with the butter sour cream?? Spread paired perfectly with the soup. As our main I got the pork knuckle and my husband got the game goulash. The pork nuckle was very tender fall off the bone, I tried to eat the skin but it was too salty but the pork was super delicious. The potatoes were incredible! With chunks of bacon and the soft interior with the slight crispy exterior was just perfect side. The German coleslaw was crunchy with hint of sour and sweet. It cut through the fat of the pork and was a crunchy brightness to the entire dish. Restaurant: romantic and cozy and clean Bathroom: clean

    My buddy and I ate here several times. Good variety of German grub with different lunch specials…read moreeach day. The food was good if not exceptional. Even though, they call themselves a restaurant I think people come here for the bierhaus aspect. Among the dishes we tried and liked were the pig knuckles, the combo meat plate (which they strangely named as the "sauerkraut plate"), the currywurst, and the schnitzels. We thought it would be funny to try the English Breakfast at a German restaurant but we could never wake up in time for breakfast.

    Xantener Eck was the site of my first German meal upon arriving in Berlin during my latest trip…read more Though it was a comp'd business meal, this place is a decent introduction to German cuisine for first-time and been-away-awhile-but-back-for-the-good-stuff tourists. They were able to accommodate our group of ~15 and had a fair number of patrons were having dinner as well. Though dishes were pre-ordered I glanced at their American/British menu and made a mental note that they serve steaks here, cooked to your choice of "English," "Medium," or "Well done." I'm not sure what our order was called on the menu, but I'll refer to it as their "banquet menu plate," which was basically a two-course meal with a selection of different cuts of meat. The majority was pretty much good ol' German pork sausage, each one known from a particular region of the country. The starter salad tasted good and reminded me of the vinegar-y dressings typical to German salads (they skimped ingredients on mine though compared to all my neighbors' bowls). The main plate's largest sausage was Berlin's signature Currywurst drenched in sauce. Overall, the presence of so much meat to potato ratio would be a bit heavy for some, but it was nice to sample everything. As for my included beverage, I was excited about finally having a beer from a German tap and ordered Weissbier. To my disappointment, whoever filled my glass put the wrong stuff. I was served Helles in a Weissbier glass...wrong on so many levels and shocking for a place that should, out of anything in the world, get beer right. At least any beer is better than none, and I still chugged it. So in summary: Good food Questionable service Tip: They have free postcards for customers at the bar. They're plain, but if you want to make your friends jealous and prove you enjoyed a German beer, grab a couple and send them out!
