Fantastic local place to get some low-frills eats and beer! Very friendly staff who accommodated us without 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! read more

Stadtklause - Meatballs, schnitzel and beer - German Near Me - Berlin, BE

They must have expanded as the menu seems the same and it was quite big and clean. Not a dive at all. 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! read more

Great beer, cute little place. The food offered is limited, but tasty! I had the meatballs with fried eggs on top, BF had the schnitzel. Then we split what was to be a small salad, but it was actually quite large. Nice place - I would recommend. Be aware, they are a cash only place... No credit cards. read more

We were wanting some local, german food and we are SO happy that we ate here. I now understand why this place was rated #1 for local food. The meatballs and schnitzel were DELICIOUS and everything was very fresh. The pickles even reminded me of the ones my grandma used to make :) We don't know the German language, but the owner and servers made sure to make us feel welcome and still make some jokes with us. The Pilsner beer was really good and I don't really even like beer that much. We might have to go back before our two day trip in Berlin ends read more

If you're looking for authentic German food, then head over to Stadtklause! It's a little ways away from the tourist spots but it's totally worth going to. The interior is quaint and narrow. You'll be seated with other Germans so get comfortable (normal there btw and who knows, you might make some friends!). I don't know how to speak German, not even a lick of it, but I did try and the owners were really happy that I did lol. They were so welcoming and even joined me while they had their dinner as well! Their schnitzels are DELICIOUS. The chicken was moist and the bread was fluffy. The potatoes were really creamy and the pickles... oh God, I can literally eat a whole jar of them. I had a .5L Pilsner and well, in the land of beer, I really can't say it was bad beer because it wasn't. It was so good on a hot day! Welcoming staff, great food, and awesome conversations. Would 100% return if im ever in Berlin again. Danķe! read more

This pub is quite small but seems always packed. It's located fairly close to the hotel where we were staying, the Crowne Plaza Potsdamer, so we went a few times for dinner and the food is really good. The menu is limited (mostly open faced sandwiches, meatballs and schnitzel) but it's tasty. A few wines and good beer. This place is not fancy but the atmosphere is fun. Cash only! read more

Best meal in Germany! Fortunately, previous yelpers, let us to this fantastic, cozy neighborhood place. It is very informal, and that adds to the ambience. Great local beer food at affordable prices. We were a little surprised to learn that they are CASH ONLY so be prepared! We sampled the pork schnitzel, meatballs, and salad. Excellent, and served in the hearty portions. Service was good. The waiters were very comfortable with English, and quite friendly. read more

I found this little place here on Yelp when looking for dinner on our recent trip to Germany. We had just arrived in Berlin and didn't want to venture super far from our hotel so I was looking for a place we could easily walk to and I found Stadtklause. Upon arrival we weren't certain if we should seat ourselves or wait to be seated but a friendly gentleman whom I believe may have been the owner pointed us to a little table outside on the sidewalk which was perfect. I ordered the Wiener Schnitzel and my husband ordered the meatballs and we were both really happy with our meals. The fried potatoes were crispy and buttery and I loved the pickles and cabbage salad that came with both entrees. The schnitzel was thin and crispy and very tender and the meatballs were wonderfully seasoned and perfectly cooked. I have even been looking for a good German meatball recipe to attempt to replicate those meatballs! If you're looking for a great German meal in Berlin I highly recommend this cute little place! read more

Divey little place, food was soooo good! Fast service as well! They are cash only so prepare for that.

I found this place on Yelp and have to echo other's opinion that this is a great dinner option. The atmosphere is very laid back, like a neighborhood pub. There's lots of seating outdoors as well as on benches inside so it's a great place to meet for a group. Limited menu, but everything they do, they do well. Beer selection is down to pilsner and a dark beer. Very generous portion to price ratio and even more importantly, very friendly staff. We were greeted and seated right away on a Friday night. They have English menus and were pretty welcoming of tourists. My husband and I got the meatballs with gurken, schnitzel, and a small mixed salad to share as well as a pilsner each. This was the perfect amount of food. I really liked both dishes but my husband said he preferred the meatballs. The meat was perfectly seasoned and went well with the mustard and pickled veggies. The bread went really well with all of the entrees but I may be biased as American bread is too sweet. The small salad was a great size to share. I don't normally like pilsners but the one they serve here was great. I would highly recommend coming here. read more

I'm getting to know my new neighborhood. This one is close to Mitte, on the edge of Kreuzberg, but still close enough to walk to Mitte. We had a reservation at the top of the dome but the table we got was right in the entrance with all sorts of people coming and going, totally distracting so we forgo our reservation and just did a tour of the Dome. I had this place on my to-do this on this trip as it's very neighborhood like restaurant which also has a decent amount of beer selection and your usual beer hall food. The menu is very simple. Really felt like local restaurant for local beer drinkers but clearly lots of tourists too. The table behind us were Italians. We ordered the schnitzels and also the meatballs and an open sandwich. All very tasty. The beer on tab is very good. The meal for four was just over 50 euro. They only take cash so be sure to bring cash instead. read more

I came here during my Berlin trip and the outside may look like a hole in a wall and it is pretty tiny inside but it's an authentic German restaurant. Always full packed and the food is really delicious. I ordered the meatballs and the pork cutlet (schnitzel). Did not disappoint at all. Highly recommend. read more

If you want some of the best Schnitzel in a rustic setting with much history, Stadtklause is the place. I have to say the service didn't start out very strong but progressed & ended very well with smiles and our server taking a picture of us. We ordered the mixed sandwiches (small) which was a lot of food as a starter for two people. (Could have been a meal by itself). Think Charcuterie with sliced sandwich bread. Meats & cheese were tasty. For main, we both ordered the Schnitzel which was excellent. Perfect amount of breading & very tender. A lot of food-we could have shared one. The added egg option looked really appealing also but so much food...we paired it all with the draft Pilsner which was very good This is cash only so bring those Euros. Overall, wonderful experience and excellent value for money! read more

My family and I were wandering around the area trying to find a place to eat and we're so glad we stumbled upon Stadtklause! It looks small from the outside but it's actually pretty spacious inside and quaint. The inside had a historic and pub feel to it and was surprisingly crowded on a Monday night. Out of all the restaurants we went to in Berlin, Stadtklause felt the most local and authentic. Our server was quite nice and helpful to explain the items on the menu. We were a group of four and we ordered the medium set of mixed open sandwiches to share. I loved the concept of the open sandwich, the serving was huge and plenty filling for our group! I wish I was able to try more of their dishes but I highly recommend this place if you're around the area, well worth it and you can't beat the price! read more

Delicious German Fare and good beer. The service was prompt, friendly and fun. Ambience authentic, intimate and cozy.

I've been here several times. The first time I went, the service was slow and the server was dismissive. I chalked it up to standard Berlin service and enjoyed the food, which was hot, filling, and tasty. However, the increasingly horrible service and rudeness by the wait staff because I'm American was really upsetting. On our most recent - and final - visit, we were pointedly ignored while everyone around us received excellent service. Our menus were practically thrown at us. And after our order was finally taken, the server came to our table and told us that they needed our table and we would have to move to another table... then they seated us at a table of other people that happened to have two open seats. The food is absolutely not worth the treatment. read more

I was able to find this place pretty easily. We were greeted here with good and friendly service! The gentleman that helped us spoke English well, and they also had English menus. There were tables both inside and outside. We each ordered the schnitzel-- the meat was juicy, crispy, tender, and came in a large portion. The restaurant has wifi, so we were able to plan our next journey while enjoying the best schnitzel! Service was quick, and the meal was completely satisfying. Would recommend! read more

This is an awesome little dive bar filled with locals and the food is amazing. Definitely hands-down the best schnitzel I had in Berlin. Great beer, great prices and great service. read more

Was great all around! Their meatballs are amazing~ Don't have time to say more. Just go and enjoy! One note I must say though: While the place is open late, they stop serving food around 10pm or so. I recommend calling ahead to find out. read more

Perfect schnitzel. That's all you need to know. It's crispy and soft, the kraut is tender and acidic, the potatoes are marvelous. It's a wonderful traditional dish. Tried the meatballs too and it was wonderful. The food here is simple but the execution is perfection. Beer and food are so cheap, you'd come back twice during your visit in Berlin. read more

I take my non-local friends to this place to give them some Kneipen-impressions. As a German with Vietnamese background I love this place for serving bread platters and German classics such as Strammer Max that I know from my childhood. The food is bomb and if you aren't vegan you will have troubles to decide. Darauf ein Bier! read more

Inexpensive german restaurant that offers a small menu but that was perfect for us. They have English menus for us, foreigners, and they are very friendly! We ate in the front room where there was a wood stove that kept the cold out. We had the small plate of sandwich and schnitzel and potatoes. It was a lot of food! Good food, good beers for cheap. What else do you want? We were very happy! read more

Best schnitzel I've ever had. Didn't even need a knife to chop it up, could have done it with a spoon so moist. Amazing flavour and service. Also, the fried potatoes had amazing flavour. It wasn't deep fried, but fried with just amount of love and care. All in all a great restaurant to experience German cuisine. Very cheap as well, couldn't recommend a restaurant any more than this one. read more

Ate here our first night in Berlin. This was probably the most German experience I had while in Berlin. The restaurant itself was really tiny. I ended up sitting side by side with my partner in some sort of communal bench where the table top was very narrow. This is also where I accidentally played footsies with a very large German man. He was nice about it, I was anxious after a long ass flight and really just wanted food :) Partner and I both ordered schnitzel and fries for our dinner along with some beers. The guy in front of me ordered some sort of plate that was a tower of bread with cheese, raw ground meat (yeah thats how close we sat). But all in all, those schnitzels were really good and definitely laid the foundation for high schnitzel expectations. The dude also really seemed to enjoy his tower of food. The guy taking our order did his best to communicate with us in English, and wherever we couldn't understand each other, we just kinda signed and eventually figured it out. Always helps to know a few key words when in a different country (please, thank you, beer and another beer please). Likely coming back to Berlin (because, why the hell not?!?!) and will definitely be coming back to this place. Maybe I'll be able to order the tower of bread, cheese and raw ground beef! read more

This was my first official meal in Berlin, and it seemed very authentic! Service: I was seated right away, and the waiter was extremely friendly and always cracking jokes with the other patrons. No complaints here! Food: I ordered a Pilsner with the pork schnitzel, which came with two fried eggs and potatoes. I was very pleased with the food as it had a lot of flavor and it filled me up. The Pilsner was around €3.50 and the schnitzel was around €9.90. Everything was very affordable and the meal definitely wasn't gourmet in any aspect, but if you are looking a quick and delicious German meal, come here! read more

Doesn't look like much from the out- or inside. The service is typically German (kinda rude once they figure out you're a tourist), but the food is absolutely solid German food. The menu doesn't offer many options, but what you get is good and plentiful. Decent beers, too. read more

Very cool place. Obviously for locals. We got some odd looks when we came in. Very crowded. The service was ok. They did have menus in English which helped a lot. The schnitzel was awesome and huge. Great flavor. Very tender. The bread was rye and a little dry. The coleslaw was really good. It may have been a crisp sauerkraut. We couldn't tell. The pickle was also really good. We enjoyed our time there but felt rushed to leave so others could have our tiny table. The table was so narrow we couldn't fit our plates both on it unless they were diagonal. This was a very fun place to go people watch. I've seen several reviews about having to pay for tap water. It was listed on the menu that they charge for water so we knew we might as well order drinks. I do agree that they should take credit cards. read more

Yum yum yum! Last day in Berlin and I wanted German food. I had no idea what it really meant but this place came up.. reasonably priced, good reviews in Yelp, and close to my hotel . DONE. I was not disappointed. It is a small little place that looks like it hasn't changed in a while and you will spend all of about 30 minutes ordering eating dinner/drinking. I got the 2 meatballs with 2 fried eggs and fried potatoes. Oh YES. So great and hit the spot extra with the beer. Great food, great service, would definitely recommend coming here BUT just remember it is cash only. read more

Beware of rude servers if you're a tourist! Our server seemed very bothered from us (I guess because we were American). He kept telling us to hurry up and order, he seemed very impatient.

There aren't a whole lot of options at this bar/restaurant, but it doesn't matter because what you get is going to be excellent. I got the breaded pork and my husband got the meat ball-type dish. We took a bite and knew we picked the right place for dinner! It's authentic, it's crowded, it's a little loud, but it's awesome. We will go back when we're in Berlin! You can grab a beer or wine (beer being the preferred drink here). The menu is in German and English, so no worries there. The staff is friendly and was helpful. The pork dish came with what Americans would consider home fries, some slaw (I think) and a delicious pickle. The meat balls are nice and filling and you can get it with an egg...I think it's a local thing! Seriously though, there's no reason NOT to go here. Oh, and bring cash! read more

If this is your first time in Berlin and you really wanted to try a schnitzels and you're like let me check my fellow Yelpers for suggestions. Don't take up on this place. We made a mistake by going there boy was It's very touristy with soggy dogs. it supposed to have a nice crunch when bitten into it but it doesn't. For that reason I'm giving it a 3 star Don't be fooled by the sign speaking English as most restaurants and bars staff do speak English. read more

The restaurant was definitely a "hole in a wall" type of deal with a local vibe. It's a pretty small restaurant with three floors (2 floors for seating and the bathroom is downstairs). It is a cash only facility. Be prepared to potentially seat with other parties. We sat upstairs right by the window. We loved our seats but we didn't love the fact that people were smoking. The upstairs portion of the restaurant seems to allow smoking. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. The open sandwich was unique and pretty good. There were two types of meat that we didn't like but the rest was really good. The pork cutlet was nicely fried but it could've used a little more flavor. The potatoes were perfectly crispy and delicious. I personally loved the pickles. It was more of a sweet pickle but not too sweet. read more
