Moment rating for our visit. We were at this restaurant on July 21, 2025. The traditional inn, dating back to 1902, is indeed beautiful with its decor. But that's where the positives end. We were seated in the back room/hall. The service was clearly not at its best; they weren't friendly and seemed quite annoyed. It also took quite a while, especially for our drink refills. Our order: (The food arrived way much too quickly. Typical canteen fare.) One order of chicken in gravy and one of the famous Berlin Eisbein (in Franconia, we call it "Salzknöchle" which have a lot of meat on it). The chicken dish was a boneless chicken leg, cut into three small pieces, served on mashed potatoes and swimming in a sea of ​​unidentifiable, ready-made sauce. See picture No.1. The sauce was supposed to be a beer sauce. Ridiculous. Was it some kind of attempt to jazz up a ready-made sauce with tomato paste? The taste was indefinable, neither of beer nor chicken. "Nothing at all" would be the most accurate description.See picture No. 1. No salt or pepper or paprika also. Poor. No definition possible. Canteen-food is better. A raw chicken leg costs about €1 each to buy. The price of approximately €23,90 is simply outrageous. Cost of goods sold: less than €2. You feel completely ripped off for this low-quality, unseasoned, and poorly prepared food. The "Eisbein" (pork knuckle) wasn't the shank with the long, tubular bone, but rather the bottom slice, which had hardly any meat on it. The pork knuckle consisted of approximately 80% bone and fat/rind. A truly pathetic, ridiculously small portion of meat, just fat, skin & bones - see pictures 3 & 5. And all this for a ridiculously high €24... Pork knuckle is the cheapest meat available wholesale, starting at €4 per kilo. The price-performance ratio is completely off. The beer prices are also exorbitant. Our complaint was simply ignored. ( Those stupid tourists will never come back anyway. That's probably the house philosophy.) We didn't leave a tip this time, which we very rarely do. Cash only...? Also very strange. And this is supposed to be an outrageous and terrible tourist trap. The obvious boss was sitting at the next table, drinking one shot after another with other guests and getting increasingly loud. Very unpleasant and extremely unprofessional. The positive reviews mostly come from tourists and foreigners who have no clue about German/Berlin cuisine. Outrageous and a terrible tourist trap. Never again.

Came for dinner! The ambience and the food was great! Worth a visit. We just didn’t like that we were somewhat “pressured” into tipping with the waitress telling us why we should tip and staring at us when I was about to press the tip amount. I was planning to tip anyways but it’s not nice to experience that

Waited years to go to the establishment. Seated immediately and enjoyed the atmosphere. Server never acknowledged our table. Host reminded her of our table. 5 minutes later still nothing meanwhile large party heartily greeted, provided beverages and bread. As we left, she asked what was our problem. RUDE and inattentive. Pity. Photos were the only thing enjoyed.

Excellent restaurant with authentic German cuisine. The food is delicious, the service is fast and friendly, and the atmosphere is rich with old-world charm and character. 10/10, highly recommended!

Yummy food and great service. I had a delicious veal schnitzel. I also had some chicken marinated in beer which was great.
