A definite 5 stars man. Christ I was looking for a yummy hearty meal and I totally got one. I forgot what it was specifically but it was some kind of schnitzel while my girl ordered some beef sandwich. Shit was dank. Really 2 die for. Cool place. You can't go wrong. Good price too. I will be back and I will be ordering some of the appetizers too. Y'all enjoy. read more

Horrible horrible food! I couldn't eat it! What few bites I could swallow were because of salt pepper and mustard! Bland, tasteless gristle. Never going back. Actually felt sick after leaving. read more

The menu is small, and that's how I knew the food was going to be great. Jagerschnitzel and rahmschnitzel came out hot and crispy, with some of the best gravy I've ever eaten. Potato salad is tart and tangy, rotkohl is savory and acidic. Sauerkraut was acidic and delicious, best sauerkraut I've had. Spaetzle was buttery and filling. We got dessert and weren't disappointed with the flaky pastry layered with sweet apple and raisins, and ice cream! The beers on tap were really good and it was fun to have a different selection of beer than usual. Super friendly service, albeit a little bit slow since it was kinda busy and only 2 people working the floor. However, our food came out pretty quickly (within ~10 minutes). I will be coming back until I've tried every menu item. And then I will continue to come back. read more

Tried the pretzels finally today. The beer/cheese sauce was really good and the pretzels nice and fresh and chewy with salt crystals all over the top. The Rahmschnitzel with the mushrooms and paprika cream sauce was really nice. I love the purple cabbage, especially when it is sweetened with the apples. I've had the roast pork with gravy before and it was absolutely delicious. Looking forward to apple strudel next and maybe some beef brisket. I wish they'd do some fresh green beans in season. That would be the bomb. read more

I have been here twice. The first time was decent, the second time was terrible. I had the Jaegerschnitzel, it was tough and gristly. The sides were not great either. The potato salad was tasteless, and the so was the red cabbage. Thankfully there were salt and pepper on the table. The food had sit on the counter a bit before it was set in front of us. I say this due to the gravy and meat both being tepid. Drink refills were non existent. Our server was sub par. There will not be a third visit. read more

This place is good. I didn't give them the full 5 yet because I need to try other dishes but the one I have tried are the chicken jagerschnitzel with spaetzle (pan fried egg noodle), and mashed potatoes. I tried the soup of the day also and was surprised that the cream of mushroom soup was well flavored. I was worried that it would taste like the canned soup but to my surprise it was not. I can eat here again read more

I was very glad to hear a new German cuisine restaurant had opened in Anchorage. Bonus: it's near my work so lunch with co-workers is a must. I've been there three times And would recommend it to anyone. It's as close to going to your local German gasthaus as you'll get in Anchorage! read more

West Berlin rocks!!! If you like German food this is a great place to try. I had the Jaegerschnitzel with Spaetzel and Red Cabbage. Also had dessert strudel and vanilla ice cream. The music was great (Paolo Conte) and the service excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Good food at a great price. I ordered the beef brisket & it was perfect. Tensor & you could cut it with a fork. The uniqueness of their rich sauces in the different meals is well worth trying. Both of my friends loved their dinners. We had three dinners, an appetizer for $50. Prompt service. read more

Been here a few times now, tried several different dishes, sides, etc. Been consistently very happy with each choice. Jägerschnitzel is my absolute favorite of the bunch. The sides are different that you are probably used to. For example, if you are expecting super salty sauerkraut you won't find it. Remember, the salting process was an ancient method of food preservation, and would be rinsed off before serving. Never been to Germany, but have a great aunt from there and there is similarity. Either way, I love the food. Will keep coming back because this one is going into permanent rotation. read more

Look, if you aren't German (or an Ami Kind transplant) you aren't going to get this, but here's a piece of home, People! Rahmshnitzel (chicken or pork) Wiener Schnitzel Jägerschnitzel Hahn Whatever you choose, it won't be wrong. The spaetzle is more Northern than my taste (hey, Baden-Wuerttemburg and Bayern, okay?), but it is unmistakably spaetzle. The Rotkohl is perfect, the sauerkraut as well, everything is everything you want in a Gasthaus. Bier is predominantly Ayinger. If that's a problem, then SUFFER! Ayinger is an honored brewer for a reason, if you can't appreciate it, drink something else (you spineless, taste-deprived creature, you.) Seriously? You aren't going to find food like this for a thousand-mile radius. PLEASE keep them in business!!! read more

Both impressive and memorable. Impressive they are still in business after serving a meal that was stunningly memorable (and not in the good way). Service was subpar - which could be from lack of available talent but at least apologize when it takes forever to get attention from the waitress to order, throughout the meal, then after to pay. Two stars over one since the food came out fast. After finally flagging down the waitress, she answered curtly despite few patrons. She shows up "Ready to order?". Would have been nice to order some beers and appetizers then look over the menu, ask a few questions, hear about the specials but we ordered everything at once just in case. Beer was flat and skunky. Potato pancakes were greasy and tasteless. Homemade pretzel was tough and similarly unimpressive (after having lived in Germany and eaten at dozens of restaurants - all above this for quality and service). I could go on but won't. We hoped the strudel would redeem the meal but alas. The ice cream was good quality but suspect it wasn't made touched by the kitchen staff. Waitress had a guy clear the table with our credit cards on the check but it languished for another five minutes until we called the waitress over again. She returned with a pitcher of water (for the first time). Not sure if anyone on the staff had been to Deutschland (and experienced great or even good food and bier). Bummed after hoping for a decent dining experience. read more

Had a great time at West Berlin. The beer selection covered a wide array of German styles and I appreciated that very much. We tried quite a few dishes and liked them all. Schnitzel, sausage, and beef were the main selections on the menu with different variations of each. Planning on coming back soon. read more

We ordered the currywurst for takeout. Brought me back to my childhood! The curry ketchup is exactly what i wanted and more!!!

Here in Anchorage, we have a lot of Mexican, pizza up the whazu and every other restaurant is a Pho joint. This place stands alone as the only German joint but it's also a good one. Very quiet and unpretentious, the chef is a stickler and cooks everything from scratch to order. Then.... there's the beer an amazing rotating selection of beers on tap and in bottles. The staff really are knowledgeable about the beer they serve. So great for food or if you simpy want a great place to drink beer minis hipsters this is the place. Truly one of my favorites. read more

I was in Anchorage on base for work, and stopped here for a quick lunch. It was delicious!!! I got a schnitzel sandwich which comes on a pretzel bread bun and OMG was it amazing!! They do NOT skimp on the schnitzel, I actually had to take some of it out of the sandwich and eat it separately just so the sandwich would fit in my mouth. This was one of the most delicious things I've eaten in my life... I wish I had a place like this near home (Orlando). Also the whole lunch came to only $9!!! Can't beat that! read more

West Berlin - Schnitzel sandwich on pretzel bread and a side of German potato salad. One of the most delicious things I've eaten in my life - German Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Hands down the worst Wiener schnitzel I've ever eaten. Overheard the server telling a customer who was complaining that the food is cooked early in the morning and is microwaved when served. That explains how my food arrived at my table in under 5 minutes. The meat was dry and tough. The sauerkraut was almost tasteless. Do not eat here expecting anything resembling authentic German cuisine. On the positive side, it wasn't expensive. read more

Very friendly family owned business. Excellent food. Atmosphere is nice and I didn't expect it to be. Overall impressed with the place and am anxious to try all on the menu. read more

Had the Jagerschnitzel and sauerkraut balls as an appetizer. The food and service were really good even as the restaurant got busier. There was always someone refilling water or asking how the meal was. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Been by a few times and decided to stop in for lunch. The server was very nice. Proud of the place. Enjoyed the pretzel very much and the JaegerSchnitzel was delicious! Nice portions. Enough to take some home. Will definitely try other menu items and hopefully review again. read more

Went here tonight with my husband and another couple and had a fantastic experience. The owner is former military who was stationed in Germany and liked it so much that he stayed there after he got out of the service. He spent a few years cooking in German restaurants, so his recipes are authentic. We had made a reservation for 6:30, and when we arrived, the table was dressed completely dressed including the water (in GLASS glasses) which had obviously been recently poured. The food was delicious and reasonably priced with huge portions. One friend and I had the Rahmschnitzel (breaded pork with mushroom cream sauce) with spatzle and sauerkraut, my husband had the Schweinebraten (German Style Pork Roast) with German potato salad (cold style), and our other friend had the Jagerschnitzel (breaded pork with brown gravy). Both of our friends got the rotkohl (sweet & sour red cabbage) and spatzle. Did I mention that the portions were huge??!!! The schnitzels were each about 8 inches in diameter with about a 1/2 cup each of the sides (included in the entreé price) and only $10 and $11. The breading had great flavor, and was nice and crisp, yet the pork was still moist. The sauces were also good. My husbands pork roast had 3-4 generous slices of melt-in-your mouth tender, moist pork that tasted pretty close to my German/Bohemian mother-in-law's recipe, also only $11.00. We went toward the end of their night (they close at 8, we got there at 6:30ish) and they were out of the sauerkraut balls that we were dying to try as an appetizer, so we substituted with two orders of potato pancakes - we were told there were three pancakes in an order. Well, we would have been fine with one order. The pancakes were 4" across, again with great flavor, crispy outside and fluffy inside. Also, the table behind me (who had been there when we came in) got rolls with their dinner, but we didn't. I suspect that the restaurant had run out of them, as well. The only "ding" I can give them is that the waitstaff needs to dress (and act) a little more professionally. One of the servers was wearing baggy old jeans with a tired sloppy sweatshirt over a tee shirt. When we came in, nobody greeted us, but then Shaggy said from the middle of the room, "You the reservation?" then pointed over his head to the table behind him. On the other hand, our server was wearing a button down sport shirt over old jeans and was attentive and pleasant. We are definitely going back, earlier in the day, so we can try some of the sauerkraut balls! read more

I just went back in time, 19 years to be exact when my first taste of a rahmschnitzel. Since I left my home away from home across the pond today here @ WB my heart is full & memories bum rushing of when I was a young super dupper paratrooper. Thank you uncle for bringing me back home. read more

AWESOME food! I had the Rahmschnitzel with Rothkohl and potato salad. The meat was sooooo tender and the sauce to die for. Our host, Michelle, was really attentive and friendly. We will be back! read more

Love this place. Authentic German cuisine and beer. My mom made me take here here twice over the holidays. I like the soft pretzels and sauerkraut balls are a great start. For dinner I like the pork rahmschnitzel or the currywurst. The rotkohl and spaetzle make for good sides. If you have picky kids, get the chicken schnitzel with or without gravy and add a side of fries and mash potatoes. My niece and nephew loved it. As for beer, anything on tap from Weihenstephaner is an excellent choice if they have it. read more

Delicious food, wonderful service, with a authentic German menu. Prices are exceptionally reasonable and portions are huge. Definitely a delightful hidden gem in Mountain View. We enjoyed pretzels, jagerschnitzel, rouladen, German potato salad, spatzle and several beers. read more

Fantastic! I've had just about everything off the menu, and it's all very good. I've never been to Germany so I cannot compare it properly against their "authentic" counterparts... but I don't care, it's just that good on it's own. Best to have dinner earlier in the evening, they tend to start running out of menu items the further into the evening you get. read more

I've honestly been wanting to try this restaurant since I've lived in Anchorage, the last 18 months of my life, and I finally did last Friday night! I ordered the Rhamsnitzcel and the the Berlin special. The Rhamsnitzcel was a choice of pork or chicken thin fried steak. I chose the pork because it was highly recommended by the waitress. The Berlin Street special was two Brauts drizzled with curry sauce and crinkle cut fries. Overall the presentation, service, and atmosphere was 4 stars but what caused this restaurant not to get all five was the taste of the food! The gravy was perfect atop the pork fried steak but there was no real flavor for me to savor nothing to make me want another bite. It wasn't bad, the quality was there, just not the comforting flavors. Again great service I would have liked to try their beers but I'm pregnant so I had to pass. read more

Ate here last night and the food was delicious. Also had the apple strudel for dessert which was fantastic. The service was ver good and prompt. The draft beer choices were good and cold. I will definitely be back. I'm always looking for good German restaurants and even though this one is out of the way it's totally worth it. I highly recommend this to anyone. read more

Great food: I had Jagershnitzel, which is schnitzel with a mushroom gravy. My boyfriend had Rahmschnitzel, which has a paprika cream sauce. Both were great- the Rahmschnitzel has a delicious sauce, but I certainly wasn't disappointed with my choice either. We also had sauerkraut balls as an appetizer: pork and sauerkraut deep fried. They were quite tasty! Overall we highly recommend this establishment and will definitely be back. read more

AMAZING AUTHENTIC German food. My German friend loved it! I can't recommend the Jager spaetzle enough and their schnitzel is to die for! But don't miss out on their red cabbage or sauerkraut! Their rouladen is also "just like homemade" according to my friend. Big portions and great service to boot! read more

This restaurant made excellent schnitzel but did not make authentic pomme fritz or purple cabbage. They have a good German Beer selection. Has the potential to be a great German restaurant if they up their game in the side dishes. read more

I love this little gem! The prices are decent and food is tasty. We always especially like their homemade soups- never had one that we didn't enjoy. read more

West Berlin brings you back to that night you'll never remember at the 'Wiesn, reminds you of your Study Abroad host-family's cooking, introduces you to all the best foods to pair with Beer, and most importantly, does it all with friendliness, in an inviting atmosphere, and at an insane value. I'm adding this to my monthly rotation. Hopefully enough others do as well to keep this place 'discover-able' and enjoyable for everyone. read more

I was skeptical about German food in Alaska but this didn't disappoint. I had the pork Rahmschnitzel which was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. The spatzel was decent as well. The only think I could wish for is some potato pancakes to hit the menu at some point. The inside was nicely done- would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hearty meal. read more

Pretty happy with my experience, service was good and so was the food! Prices were reasonable for nice sized portions, my boyfriend and I both left full. We came right after they opened for dinner at five and were seated immediately. We tried the pretzels (one order came with two decent sized pretzels, mustard, and beer cheese). The pretzels were fluffy and delicious! I wasn't a huge fan of either sauce but they weren't bad. The beer cheese was more beer than cheese. Not a big deal as the pretzel was good enough to eat by itself or reserve some to dip in the schnitzel gravy... For my meal I had the pork jagerschnitzel with mashed potatoes and rotkohl. The rotkohl was the only thing I didn't really like here, while it was very pretty looking and the cabbage was tender, it was spiced with bay leaves and cloves and the flavor was just too strong for my own tastes. The schnitzel was very good though. Nicely crunchy and covered generously with brown gravy and mushrooms, what more could you want? I also liked the mashed potatoes, they were nicely seasoned and had some texture to them. My boyfriend had the pork schnitzel roll and was really happy. It was a pretty large sandwich, he wasn't able to finish it all. The potato salad that came with had strong (vinegar) flavor, it was yummy! I'm looking forward to getting my own portion when I come again. We tried the apfelstrudel for dessert. So delicious!! It was served warm, covered with vanilla ice cream and topped with cinnamon. This was my favorite thing here. Overall, yum! I'd recommend this place if you're looking for a nice filling meal, don't forget to leave room for dessert! read more

Fantastic customer service, and so fast!!!! Food was delicious also!!! I recommend this to anyone hungry hahaha

Visited West Berlin this evening. The place was quiet as this place is just coming on the map. A steady stream of people continued to flow. A nice, clean place with tasteful art on the walls. The service we received was wonderful - very friendly and attentive. The Kasseler and the Jagerschnitzel was so delicious!!! The spaetzel was very light and airy with a good flavor. We will definitely be back soon to this one and only German restaurant in Anchorage. read more
