Café Berlin

This is a great spot to satisfy your 'German food cravings.'It's a small spot, so if you're looking to have lunch or dinner there, especially around Oktoberfest time, I'd suggest making a reservation. Service was great and the food was delicious. I will definitely go there again soon.

I was so excited to finally try this place as I had been wanting to try it out for quite some time now.A few highlights: Service - efficient but nothing that made it stand out friendly of a smaller place like I would expect.Prices - a little high IMHO.Ambiance - simple/basic. Not really any cute decor. No live entertainment as expected. Food - Good, but nothing to rave about in regards to similar establishments in town. Would I come back? - I would pass and go to Hofbräuhaus for a more extensive menu (prices seem about the same) and better ambiance. However, if I was wanting to stick to this side of town only, maybe.

We've been coming to this quaint German Cafe for years and unfortunately, our most recent experiences have been rather disappointing. The food quality just isn't how it used to be from maybe 3-4 years ago and I think it is consistently declining. The chocolate cake for my daughter smelled and tasted old and her cheese spaetzle was just doused in cheese. Just like everything on the menu, Doused and overflowing in sauce for some reason. The service has always been subpar, the server always forgets something whether it's your drink or the pretzels or adjustments like sauces on the side etc. They always seemed absentminded. The only thing that hasn't changed are the draft beers... it's really hard to mess that up. I really do hope they take this review into consideration and work on improving, so that we can continue to support this local business.

This place has great food if you don't want the whole spectacle of Hofbrahaus. Food is authentic and delicious. I recommend the sampler and keep an eye out for the special of the day by the front door

Service - slow but only one waitress on duty. All about the order with little chat or personality.Food - delivered in about 3 minutes making me think it is precooked and reheated. Quality and taste very good considering....Prices - a little high IMHO.Ambiance - cute little place in strip mall. Not overly decorated to make you feel like you are in Germany.I would return.

Have heard about this quaint little German Cafe a couple times so we gave it a try. It's surprising, tucked away off of Decatur in a small shopping center, it was better than we expected. The place was almost empty when we entered, uh oh, it's 5 pm on a Friday. Thirty minutes later several tables started moving in. I got the idea that a lot of these were regulars, that's a good sign. The service was good and the place was clean. Everything was served hot and in a timely fashion. The Rahm Strudel was very good as was the Red Cabbage. The Beef Rouladen was a bit tough. Make sure you save room for Strudel, we had Cherry of course, it's really good! Worth going in to try it out.

We went at kind of a weird time so it was pretty empty when we arrived. The atmosphere has a relaxed feel. Music was more upbeat like a German dance vibe. There was 1 host/server but he was friendly. I ordered an Oktoberfest Hefeweizen beer and it was one of the best beers I've ever had. We also ordered a bier brat sandwich, potato pancakes, and apple strudel for dessert. All of the food was delicious, the bread on my sandwich tasted freshly baked, and everything was cooked perfectly. My only gripe would be the price. When I saw the prices we nearly walked out. Any full entree was $30 or more which is pretty steep. My sandwich was $17 which for a basic brat with onions is excessive, and with a single brat sandwich, potato pancakes, a beer and a strudel, we were at over $70 with tip, for lunch. The food and ambience are excellent but honestly I probably won't go back because it's crazy expensive. If you love German food, and the prices don't scare you away, then I would recommend giving it a try but if you don't like paying $70 for two people to have lunch and one of them is basically eating a snack, maybe look for other options instead.

Fleisch, Fleisch, BabyReviewers of German affiliation gave Berlin Café rave reviews, both for its fare and atmosphere. German cuisine is primarily meat, or fleisch as the Germans say. It's hearty main courses are+ can be tangy. Often a starch such as spätzle offsets,the strong flavors.The spätzle served with the Jagger Schnitzel was springy with a unique texture: firm but pliant. Jagger Schnitzel, a lightly breaded chicken cutlet, was done to a turn. It is moist and cooked without a trace of grease. If you miss everything else, go for the blue berry strudel. . It's not sugary thick and cloying. It is refreshing, tasting strongly of blueberries. Miss the rest if the price tag scares you, but don't miss the blue berry strudel. The atmosphere is minimalistic but comfortable. The Berlin Café' is spotless, a fine dining kind of place. Distractions are few. This dines took place on a late weekday afternoon: business was slack. Parking was not a problem.

Food was alright, pick your dish Well; I'm not used to tons of French Fries, so when my dish came it was a disappointment the fries was just shoestring fries. Everything felt Ala Carte, no bread with the soup. Not sure if I'd return I'm not a fan of this cuisine.

I think they're changing Euros prices? $25 for essentially a hotdog. Never again.
