    The nicest hostess in Germany greeted us at the door and the rest of the evening went just as well. Lots of veterinarian dishes and I had the ravioli over spinach and a cream sauce. They actually had Bourbon which is kinda difficult to find in Germany. Other guest had a meatball dish and someone had a fish dish and a nice Rose. All in all a great meal and Berlin restaurants are much cheaper than America.

    Cannot come to Germany and not eat Sauerbraten...

    Food amazing. Location has old world ambience. Order everything. You will not be disappointed. The server we had, well he was not very attentive. I could understand if he or the resturant was busy, but goofing off behind the bar, in full view of our table 7 feet away, nope. Hanging amount chatting not checking drinks, how the food was, if we required anything our visit, unacceptable. We received assistance from another server while there.

    CASH ONLY and they do ask you to leave tip! If you want to experience real german food, this is the place to go. It is very loud though-- seemed like a lot of students were there. And at one point, there was live music but it was more loud than nice lol they also did come around asking to give them money. They have amazing food and beer but it was very very hard to get the servers' attention. They also did not let us in at first because we did not make a reservation. Make sure to call before you go, they all speak English very well.

    Sauerbraten (braised beef marinated in stout and red wine vinegar) with red cabbage and apples and potato dumplings.

    My rating is at 3.5 stars but I rounded up for good measure. We were turned onto Max & Moritz restaurant by Yelp and took a recommendation for traditional/regional food from a local (who works at a trendy, not known for great food/experience Gastropub) to go there. M & M is a old school traditional restaurant that brews their own beer and serves local and national beers on draught. The restaurant stays true to its pre-war roots with a very traditional style. The restaurant itself is very warm and a bit smoky by the bar and obviously outside at the outdoor tables. It lacked any kind of air flow and, to top it off, each table was lavished with a candle to set the ambiance and heat level higher. The interior of the restaurant is what I'd expect for a traditional German restaurant, however. M & M was bustling with large groups, both friends and family-everything from a toddler and her parents to raucous 20 and 30-something year old males slugging back liters of beer. One such male took it upon himself to play a classical piece on the piano which sounded nice but in reality the acoustics were pretty bad and the echo wasn't enjoyable. I was impressed with the size of the menu and the fact that they had a "vegetarian" section on the menu. I enjoyed seeing the Berliner section with entrees specific to Berlin. Nice, complimentary bread was served with the meals. Servers and the hostess were nice and spoke English and there was an English menu which was also appreciated. With a severe lack of German restaurants in the area (and, to my surprise, more "kepap" places than I could count), this restaurant was a welcomed find. I enjoyed my meal but the overall atmosphere left some things to be desired.

    Delicious food ! I was taken here by my friends who have lived in Berlin for a while when I asked them to take me to an authentic restaurant, I had the Berliner soup - potato, sausage and bacon. It was delicious. I shared the carnivore platter- oh my more meat then I could ever eat! I tried the Schnitzel and it was delicious! Highly recommend!

    FYI CASH ONLY! But worth it! The food was the best that we've had in Germany so far, and we've been here over a week! In our party of 6, every single one of us was impressed with our meals, and we all got something different! You can't go wrong here! Highly recommend!!

    I love this place. Good food, good people and good waiters. You have to try the potato soup, the local breaded fish and if you are adventurous like my friends, try the pork knuckle-see the picture. The restaurant hosts music on certain nights. They have a full bar. Great rustic look to the place. Gorgeous waitresses who know how to imbibe.

    This restaurant was suggested to me by one of the girls working at the hostel we stayed at our first night in Berlin! She said, "if you want to eat authentic German food you need to eat here." Max and Moritz truly delivers! My boyfriend and I are from California so we really wanted to be exposed to the culture and the food. Service was great and I ended up getting an apple strudel for dessert! (Pictured) definitely a must try!!!!

    Very hearty portions. Arrive hungry!

    A vegetarian's perspective: Located in the buzzy heart of the Kreuzberg district, Max Und Moritz turned out to be one of the favourite finds of our Berlin trip. Its very much a traditional beer house, one thats been serving very hearty German food and hospitality since the beginning of last century. The whole place just oozes character and the same could be said for the staff who were universally jolly, had a great sense of humour, and were well clued up on Scottish current affairs! I was in awe of the staff's ability to converse in so many languages and resolved that I must do better with my efforts to speak German. I was so pleased to find vegetarian options on the menu that were actually labelled as such, and even had a few tips from our waiters about what was good. My meat free meal was full of cheesy noodley spaetzle goodness and well complemented by a fresh salad. The meat eaters were equally impressed and fit to burst! It almost goes without saying that the beers were excellent, it is an historic beer house after all, and we did our best to work through the beer menu sampling as many as possible. Tough job but someone has to do it! Food and drink wise, prices were pretty fair for a major city bar restaurant, and definitely cheaper than our hotel. I fell in love with Berlin and hope one day to make a return visit to Max and Moritz. Loved it!

    Pretty good restaurant for german / berlin food. Beware that the food comes in a very hugeeee portion and tastes pretty good We got the berlin pork feet einsbein and it was humongous ... Tastes great as well Then i got the rippenspeer (small) but it was hugeee i could not finish it! Service was great. Super friendly and english is spoken (plus english menu!) They also gave you complimentary bread! But unlike what yelp says, there is no wifi.

    It really takes a lot to get this girl to Kreuzberg but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to try this place. Having heard such mixed reviews about Max & Moritz, I needed to try it and did... I was brought as a guest for a large group dinner and the food was the exactly same as if we had all ordered our own plates (it was serve yourself). The bread selection was pretty good and the spätzle was very authentic but other than that, I felt the rest of the food was only a bit above average. They also have a very small wine by the glass selection and although the wine I ordered was pretty good, I would have liked a few more options. I think that the place could be a little intimidating for a first timer. The decor, though, is great and the bar adds a nice touch to the front entrance. It is definitely a very original place to check out but I don't know if I would schlepp all the way to Kreuzberg for another meal there.

    Let me preface by saying that German food is not my favorite, but I got the spinach ravioli and it was really good! The staff is incredibly friendly and the atmosphere is fun and warm! Would recommend!!

    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!
