The size of the burgers quickly become enormous. You have been warned! There are no pictures of the…read moreburgers in the menu so although I though I ordered a standard burger option (the soprano- featuring blue cheese and bacon), it arrived and I learned this could only be attacked with a knife and fork, which is not what I originally envisioned. The music was nice, mainly 90s hip hop while I was there, and the walls are covered in graffiti, so it certainly has a cool vibe and the hog booths would make it great for meeting up with friends. I definitely see where they are trying to go with this restaurant. The issue that I had is the burger was a bit more novel than it was functional, making it difficult to eat and a bit unfulfilling as a burger (for the burger eating experience, not the burger size). I will admit that this may be based on my order. Hopefully there is an option for smaller burgers. If so, I'd try again.

Definitely not a good place to bring kids, even though they have high chairs. However, their…read moreburgers looked so good, and we had to have them, and thank you burger gods for this place doing to go orders. Thankfully our hotel was right across the street so didn't have to worry about extremely soggy burgers. The burgers are messy and there's ABSOLUTELY no right way to eat these monsters. I ordered the JFK and it was outstanding, my husband order the jack sparrow and was absolutely pleased, however we didn't even notice a difference between our burgers, but we enjoyed them anyways. The meat is balled up like a big ol' meat ball, and the onion ring was cooked to absolute perfection. We did order our burgers to be well done but however once we reached the center of the meat ball it was not cooked at all. However did stop us from just eating around it. This place does allow smoking on the inside, so please be aware of this if you're going to take child or if you don't like smoke.

Came here for brunch about a month ago when the bf and I were in Berlin on vacation. We decided to…read morecome here because of its high ratings on Yelp. We got in just before noon, and we were glad we did because the place got completely full soon after we got seated. The menus were a little confusing as we don't speak any German and the menus had some English pages mixed in with the German pages (the little footnotes were what really confused me, but then I realized that they were using them as markers for different types of allergens). However, it didn't seem that hard to figure out as most of the offerings for brunch offered either cold cuts, cheese, vegetarian spreads, etc. with pastries and such. I opted for their normal sized vegetarian offering (you can ask for a vegan one also) along with coffee and a 20 mL cup of red currant juice. The bf got an order of their scrambled eggs with bacon, along with a 40 mL cup of orange juice. The vegetarian offering I got was amazing. There were a few different slices of cheese, 2 different types of savory spreads (one yogurt based, and the other was some sort of curried spread), and a bunch of fresh fruits. We got a very generous sized basket of bread to share, and it was just a perfect and somewhat light meal. The bf's eggs were delicious, and our juices were fresh and tasy as well. We could easily see why this place was so popular with the locals. Would definitely come back here if I ever happened to find myself in Berlin again.

While in Berlin, I stumbled across this place called Bastard through browsing reviews on Yelp, I…read moredecided to call in here not only because of the good reviews but the fact the place is called Bastard, which is a name which probably wouldn't be allowed in my home-country of the United Kingdom. This place is located in quite a rough area of Berlin, as I recall it was on the 248 bus route, yet buses in Berlin is a system I've struggled with mainly down to having so many stops without any proper signage for example one bus might go from one stop, another from another. This place isn't in a great location as I said, you can even find some graphiti on the walls as you go in to the small inside seating area. The menu was quite restrictive and authoritarian in the sense you couldn't personalise your dishes or tweak them, despite it being fresh food which was a shame and alongside the location, the major flaw of this place. For example, they had a meal with Fried eggs and other things which I didn't want, and they refused to just do fried eggs. I ordered Scrambled Eggs with Bacon, this was quite good quality and a much better breakfast than I could have had at my Hilton hotel in Berlin, but still I found the side dishes to go with it such as beans and the choice of that to be poor, they only had "fresh" bread, gluten bread, which didn't taste too great. I also was impressed with the range of fresh juices which were quite cheap at 2.40 euros each for 0.2L, I ordered a mixed juice as I recall it contained pumpkin and apple and a few other things, and I enjoyed it, albeit my first choice being a pear juice was sold out. The waitress seemed friendly enough but it was frustrating they had run out of products such as the pear juice and couldn't slightly amend their dishes and they didn't have gluten free bread. The place inside was small and really busy, it had an old-fashioned theme to it, it wasn't the nicest place in terms of décor, it is probably something one would expect to find in Manchester's Northern Quarter for example, which is my home town. The food and beverage mentioned was good quality, but the location and inability to slightly personalise your dish and the selection overall was quite poor. Was the food worth the wait to get a table and my trip to find it? I'd guess so, but still due to the major flaws I still feel Bastard doesn't deserve anything other a three star rating.

The meats were very fatty and greasy. - Bavarian Pretzel - the pretzel was good but the dippers were loaded with rye and dill. - Meatballs - they were good but they are more like hamburger patties, perhaps that was a language issue on our part. - Spaetzle with cheese - very good, like German mac n cheese. The service was good, everyone spoke English and German. The restaurant was clean and casual.

Unsure if the same error was happening with local cards.

There was indoor and outdoor seating and ample space in the middle of a busy area, and service was very fast. Overall, we would recommend.
