To be honest, I was a bit worried after reading a rather negative review from a month ago and even thought about choosing another restaurant. But since this place was only a few minutes’ walk from where I was, I decided to give it a try—and it turned out to be the perfect choice!! The menu has a QR code that brings up a multilingual version with clear pictures and descriptions. The beer recommended by the waiter Kilian paired perfectly with the crispy pork knuckle I ordered. My husband’s Berlin-style sausage and potato salad came in just the right portion. The food was truly delicious, and the beer hit the spot. To finish, the apple strudel was the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Absolutely recommend it！！ 👍👍

Quite an interesting experience for an Aussie. The menu is in a 1920’s style newspaper and the clothes most of the servers wore were also 1920’s style. Fortunately, the menu had English subtitles for the primarily traditional German food (as one would expect). There is outdoor seating available where a lot of smokers sit so I sat indoors which was quite cozy. I ordered a simple salad with chicken breast and a Caesar dressing. Bread was supplied as a courtesy on the side. My salad was fresh but mainly lettuce and a little more chicken would have helped. I’m not a big eater but I left feeling I needed something else, especially with the marathon coming up in a few days. I hadn’t intended to include a tip as this is something we only do in Australia for exceptional service but I was strongly encouraged to do so. Seems such an ‘American thing’ where it expected to subside the poor wages there. Overall, a pleasant experience.

The food was amazing—but that’s the only positive thing I can say. The service was absolutely unacceptable—the worst I have ever experienced. I don’t speak German, so I pointed at the menu to show the server (shown in the picture) what I wanted. Instead of simply looking, he kept demanding to know what flavor I wanted for my drink. When I hesitated, confused, he RAISED HIS VOICE at me. Only after several frustrating exchanges and my answer did he finally glance at the menu and realize the flavor (apricot) was already listed. No choice was needed—just basic respect and patience. Throughout the meal, no one checked on us, which I totally understood since it was busy. But when that same waiter handed us our drinks and coasters, he THREW them onto the table instead of placing them down properly. Then, when we asked for the bill, two lines were circled—one stating that tips weren’t included and that “customers usually tip 10% in Germany.” After being treated so poorly, I chose not to tip. The waiter then CONFRONTED us what was wrong and muttered “impolite… rude” as we left. The worst part? I saw the same waiter being warm and friendly to other guests—smiling, treating them like actual customers. It was frustrating. I didn’t know what I did (just ordering food and sitting quietly) to deserve such hostility. Not everyone speaks German, and learning it takes time. If you can’t handle serving foreigners—if your first instinct is impatience and aggression instead of basic professionalism—then you’ve learned nothing from the past. Shame on you, Waiter(the one shown in the picture). I will never return. No one deserves to be treated this way—no matter how good the food is.

I absolutely loved my first time here I had to come back. My partner and I first visited on the weekend and had a great time. We were quickly seated and given a choice of table. Our servers were amazing - so polite, patient and quick to get everything to us. Would highly recommend the Klassik Flammkuchen. Tastes great and nice to share for those with a smaller appetite. The second time we visited we also had the fried potatoes. Those were excellent too. For desert we tried the Apple Strudel and different cakes across the two visits. Again - can't recommend them enough, if I return to Germany again, I'll be back.

The food was excellent for all of us. The server was extremely nice and professional. The places atmosphere is grate and I am certainly am looking forward to visiting again. We could get in without a reservation but shortly after a long line was created. Absolutely 5/5
