I was here for the first time about 30 years ago. Today 2nd time, it is as full as the 1st time, very nice atmosphere, nice people, cold beer , what else do u want?
Cozy traditional German place, one of the oldest restaurants in Berlin . Make sure to reserve ahead. The food is authentic German so in case you don't like pork or potatoes , don't go there!
Oldest restaurant in Berlin with a court house theme and delicious German food ! Good stuff... 👌🏼 The beergarden is lovely in the summer as well ! 🍻 👍🏼
Hidden gem , oldest restaurant , great beer garden . Central. Food is exceptionally delicious, stuffed cabbage rocks! Spacious , good for groups and events . Prices are affordable . Staff is super nice.
The grilled pork knuckle is the second best in the world. (Second to Taiwan). Make a rezzie and enjoy!
It was typical German restaurant and so authentic . Everybody was polite for us (we didnt have book but they accepted 😁) Additionaly, foods were delicious.
One of the oldest taverns in berlin. A lovely tiled stove in the taproom and great cabbage rolls for dinner .
Nice, authentic decor and lovely atmosphere. Great food, without too many options which proves the quality and dedication to classics. Watch out: the portions are MASSIVE
It's authentic without being touristy or off-putting. Definitely check out the lunch menu , can't go wrong with anything! 🇩🇪❤️
Excellent food and wine . Super friendly waiters…when in Berlin a have to…
The pork knuckle was excellent. A cool place to grab dinner and eat something a bit different.
Delicious Grilled Pork Knuckle with glazed red cabbage ,big portion great to share!
Authentic German food , excellent Service and lively athmosphere. Must see place.
This is the oldest restaurant in Berlin and it has only typical German food . The grilled pork knuckle is excellent!
Very touristy , but food is amazing. We had the meatballs , beef roulade and apple tart , all delicious
Famously the oldest restaurant in Berlin and the food is pretty good, but it's a tourist trap and the service is grouchy and really rushes you through.
You have to try the grilled pork knuckle !!!! P.s it's enough for two!
Old restaurant with good ambience. But slow service and the menu had many items missing (only 1 red wine or dessert ). Good starters (black pudding and veal currwurst) were saving grace.
The place, the food, the people are the best. Thank you! Pork knuckle is perfect
Tasty meetbolls (15 euro). Good white beer .
The grilled pork knuckle is pretty tasty but also fairly one-note, maybe share it?
This is probably the best traditional Berlin restaurant in the city center. Great service, amazing dishes and beer .
Good German food , some nice waiters , some not so nice, the area around it is dead on wknds though so keep it for midweek/lunches
The pork knuckle rocx! Authentic German cuisine at oldest restaurant in Berlin !
Very German very good food • bring a lot of appetite, the helpings are no joke. (~16€)
Great atmosphere. Nice service. Delicious local food.
Don't ever taste shrimp soup ! Beer is the best !
Super nice German traditional food , cozy patio , good service .
Ask for potato soup which maynot be listed on the menu, its really good.
Authentic food, cozy place, friendly staff , food is awesome!!
Nice food, good beer and amazing environment.
Finally had the apple pie dessert . Highly recommend it. Unbelieveable mix of apple pie vs cream brule .
Oldest Berlin restaurant , reservation recommended. Nice staff and very delicious food.
Very cozy and authentic place!
Make sure to make a reservation before, othrways youll have to stay át the garden .
Grillhaxe ( grilled pork knuckle ) with potato dumplings with burnt butter bread crumbs :)
The grilled porke knuckel was fab 🙌🏻
Try the apple cake with ice cream ... Amazing!
Beweismittel (Kohlroulade) is delicious!
great pork knuckle
Amazing pork knuckle !
Beer & food 👍🏼super
Bit of a salty affair but the meat is the fall off the bone kind of goodness. Charming interior but wrong order, awful table, slow and unattentive.
Excellent food
Order the dessert of apple pie early. Takes 20 minutes to prepare.
Biergarten
Tasty food, but very arrogant and inattentive service
Service staff is rather unfriendly.
The kitchen is closed after 10 p.m. It sads.
Very cool place, the oldest restaurant in Berlin .
Great restaurant, fantastic atmosphere, delicious food. Maybe the best schnitzel in Berlin? - Emma Wijninga
Love this place! Perfect for lunch after/before Badenschiff. Freischwimmer pasta is the best. - Manon Van Buren 🎈
Really great steaks. They also do other meats really well. At the more expensive end of the market but worth it. Book ahead. - Jack O
Worth the money in order to see the view and have a drink. You can really enjoy the view! - Anastasis Ksouzafeiris
a great mall with lots of different shops and something for everyone. Definitely coming back next time.. - Morten Nielsen
