Berliner Kartoffelhaus in Berlin

Affordable, traditional Berlin fare. I had meatballs with delicious braised pickles. Sitting outside and enjoying a Berliner Weisse is a great place.

I can only recommend it. Plentiful and good. Friendly and attentive.

Place recommended by both the guide and by internet searches, nice, cozy atmosphere, fast service and friendly staff, good food and also value for money.

Great shop. Great staff. Super tasty. Fair prices. Highly recommended.

Kartoffelhaus Berlin – Hearty, welcoming, delicious! A visit to Kartoffelhaus Berlin is like a short vacation with a very charming Berlin aunt – with a big heart, good food, and a waiter who has more jokes than many a comedian. Friendly, attentive, and always ready with a quick quip – picture-perfect service! I had the pork knuckle Berlin style – crispy rind, buttery tender meat, and the portion? Large enough to make a construction worker happy if necessary. A real hit in terms of taste! My wife had the steak – perfectly cooked, juicy, flavorful, simply perfect all around. She's rarely looked so satisfied… and at least I got to try it. Sure, the prices have gone up a bit – but let's be honest: where isn't that the case? The quality, portion size, and the Berlin charm more than make up for it. Conclusion: If you're looking for hearty German cuisine with a lot of heart and a healthy dose of humor, this is the place for you. We will definitely be back – if only for the pork knuckle (and the waiter)!

Highly recommended, great service and delicious food

The bar owners can't keep up with the rising prices for drinks on their menus. This is no different here. I was particularly shocked, though, by a portion of fries for €10!

The food was good, but the prices were quite expensive. The service was a bit "sloppy". The place was nicely decorated.

Good food at a reasonable price, the measure costs €10 and the service is very friendly

The "potato" theme is interesting, with each dish you choose a different type. Particular German menu (in the sense that it is one of the few places we have been where you can eat real German), a little heavy and a little expensive (120 euros for 4 with two children for lunch with 4 dishes, water and beer). Nice and kind waitress who also speaks a little Italian. I would definitely come back for a visit, but I wouldn't eat there frequently.

Also good for small children. Especially the Milanese with baked potatoes and eggs, speck and potatoes

Best currywurst and sweet potatoes ever! The waiter is super nice and funny too, definitely recommend, listen to the waiter about mixing the sauce!!

Amazing and authentic german cousine 😄

Authentic cuisine and we were served very friendly by Yvonne.

We had a lovely evening, friendly and very attentive service staff. We felt very welcome. Thank you very much

The decor of the restaurant is quite cozy. In summer you can also sit outside. When it comes to drinks, you can choose between beer/schnapps or non-alcoholic items (there is no wine at all). The food wasn't particularly tasty..... The mini burger for kids sounded really good....the optics looked really great to me and then some "meat" appeared that you couldn't enjoy! The usual freshness in the form of delicious cucumber/tomato on the edge of the plate is also missing...as so often. A good 1/4 of the rump steak was impossible to chew.....that's actually not possible..... Only Sohnemann was completely satisfied with his schnitzel. At least something.

Good place for a meal on a cold day...

Very centrally located to the radio tower / Alex. Old, rustic furnishings with a pub character. Staff “Old-friendly, Ur-friendly” Berliner. Food asparagus menu...was ok. Asparagus could have been served for another 2 minutes...a bit firm to the bite. But the schnitzel with it...Perfect. A bit annoying as a non-smoker...the smell coming from the divers in front of the door. All in all ok so far.

Highly recommended! The food was delicious and the staff was absolutely nice and friendly. We'll be back!

Simple without too many pretensions

You are warmly welcomed at the entrance, nice old German atmosphere. The service was more than friendly, very good food, a very large portion at a good price. Were very satisfied. Gladly again.

Very tasty traditional German food with a potato side dish. At the entrance you have to wait for about 30 minutes, even on weekdays, which only confirms the quality.

Everything is great. Somewhat expensive tho. Cheers to the server guy.

Horrible service! The lady who served was really rude. The staff had a horrible attitude. I went there for my birthday and had to wait for 20 minutes to place my order, no one really attends to you and then I waited for another 45/50 min for my food that never arrived. I ended up leaving the place without eating because of the service and the bad attitude!! The staff just couldn't be polite from welcoming us until the end. I DO NOT RECOMMEND

Very tasty potato dishes, typical and hearty dishes. Portions are large. Would go again.

Were here this week. At first I thought the prices would be steep, but then the huge plates arrived! It was a bit greasy at times, but tasty. The restaurant is very quaint, the employee who served us was very nice and friendly. I had the turkey medallions, they were delicious, the vegetables also came with them and as I said, the portion was huge. The potato I chose was jacket potatoes with curd, a really good decision because the curd was very tasty. Drinks were a bit expensive but the toilet was also decent.

I was here for a dinner, the welcome was not the most courteous as was the service. But very nice place and food prepared with care. Very central, near the television tower.

A very good restaurant! The place is cozy and beautifully designed. I really liked the concept of the menu — first, you choose your potato side dish, and then the main course. The food is traditional and delicious. The service was excellent. Our waiter, Alexi, was kind and funny, and he made sure we had a great time.

Visited twice. Food good(ish). Long waiting at the doors to get a table, unfortunately even longer waiting time to order food. Looks like restaurant is understaffed(?) on the second visit, even if the restaurant wasn’t busy we left after waiting 30 minutes to order with feeling that waiting staff simple ignore us…

Great restaurant with real Berlin food. Mega tasty, large portions and not overpriced despite being in the middle of a tourist hotspot. The original Berlin service was also absolutely great. ☺️☺️☺️

Racism in restaurant? 1 person, around 9pm Waited in front of the restaurant fot at least more than 15 minutes because there was a sign. It was not full or busy clearly saw a few empty table, people coming out after meal. Servers never talked to me unless I asked. A couple came after me went in to the restaurant immediately after talking to a server, just in 5 min. Is it because I'm asian?

We were there in April 2024. From outside you wouldn't think that it is very authentic, rustic & very cozy. We had black pudding, liver & a large portion of "cold dog" - it was very tasty! Can be warmly recommended!

There is no Berlin.... Without Kartoffelhaus.! A must try! Very good food and great service.!

Bavarian style interior design - very nice. Berliner meatballs were tasty but a little cold. Service was nice

Good food, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Very unfriendly staff, had to wait a long time at the door and weren't even given a second glance and were only served very reluctantly afterwards. There are certainly better restaurants nearby.

Yesterday a second attempt was made after a long time and unfortunately it failed again. When I go to a potato house, I expect that the dumplings are made from potatoes and not from mixed powder with a potato next to it. The grilled turkey medallions didn't see any grill either but came from the deep fryer. Likewise the children's schnitzel. Greetings to the chef: Schnitzel is still fried in the pan. Not recommended.

The best place we've ever been in Germany. Delicious, large portions. Real homemade food.

Typical dish: pork shank that is hard and stringy and not hot

Food and service impeccable. There is 1 star deduction for the dessert. 13€ for the cold dog is really over the top

Typical German restaurant. Well-cooked traditional dishes that can be paired with potatoes prepared in many different ways. Service a little slow but very friendly and kind. Good prices for a capital and for the location of the restaurant. The soups are good. Little choice for vegetarians apart from potatoes obviously. A few dishes for the children. Recommended for a pleasant evening in Berlin.

Typical, I recommend it. Well cooked and tasty Berlin cuisine, fantastic beers. Compliments to the beautiful waitress with the tattoos who was very kind!

Very tasty, good place for lunch

I was thrilled. Great service, delicious food and super cozy

A place with a particular Berlin style, with a nice atmosphere, a stone's throw from Alexanderplatz. The menu concept is very nice: you can take a main course and pair it with a side of potatoes. You can try potatoes in various preparations, we tried the "pancake potatoes" and the "potato dumplings". The food was typical and very good. The staff was kind and pleasant. I definitely recommend!

Yesterday we toured Berlin with our boys (6,9,11 years old) and spontaneously stopped at the potato house at 6pm in the evening. We got a seat straight away and our waitress Yvonne, as well as the other ladies, were very warm and accommodating. We were allowed to try the Fassbrause beforehand to see if it was really something for the boys. Yvonne also brought us 3 cookies with my tea so that the boys wouldn't argue, which I found very thoughtful. The ambience was calm and was like an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Berlin. The food came after a reasonable amount of time, was warm, very well seasoned and very tasty. We ordered the children's schnitzel with fries, a potato soup and a baked potato with turkey medallions and Mediterranean vegetables. The prices are humane and fair for Berlin. Once again a big compliment to Yvonne, who looked after us very lovingly. The only drawback: the chairs at our table were very hard, but they certainly fit the rustic atmosphere. We'd love to come back.

Charlotte and co are friendly without being intrusive. Food & all around very good. There was competent feedback on small critical comments. Noise level pleasant. Dear boss from 3/8/25. With this staff 1 a in everything!!!!!

Good food, nice staff and cozy.

It has been excellent, good food, good service and the background music was nice.

Very typical place, friendly staff and good food.

Excellent food, not expensive, and friendly staff...

Excellent place for potatoes lovers ❤️ But sometimes it’s needed to booka table in advance. Food is super, service is fast and nice 🙂

We went there at the suggestion of the tour guide. Nice place, good food (nothing exceptional), rather slow but friendly service...

A very nice place where you can eat typical meat-based foods combined with potatoes cooked in various ways (fried, baked, pureed...). For vegetarians there is not much choice (a soup, a green salad and of course the potato side dishes). The only flaw, we arrived without booking and were told to wait 10 to 15 minutes. Then no one cared about us for more than half an hour... They then made us sit down at our request. We understand the inconvenience of not having booked, but better communication would have been enough.

The potato house is clocky, so it's beautifully rustic. The waitress, well, she made a mistake with the table, we came with 14 people. But since we were one less anyway, that didn't matter to us. No, she insisted on the other table... We moved. Oh no, it was the other table. We moved again. However, only some of those who liked it there simply stayed put. So the rest moved back and the waitress looked up as usual. Could we decide now? Please?? Who made a mistake with the tables here? The raised eyebrows remained the whole evening and so did the corresponding mood. Hospitality looks different. The chef(s) were great and that's the most important thing. Since everyone ate something different, we were able to test the dishes back and forth. The potato house can be recommended without question. But it's better to come by public transport, there are no parking spaces!

Очень вкусное место!Порции большие, мясо обалденное, соусы, картошка с сырным соусом, пальчики оближешь! Мы с мужем остались сытые и довольные. Рекомендую на все 100!

Once you put your foot in it you just don't want to leave anymore. It would even get 10 stars from me. Thank you for the lovely evening.

It's okay, but nothing special for Germans. Good German home cooking, good quality too. But nothing that doesn't exist at home. Service was great and nice, hence all the stars. But the ambience is a bit very rustic and, especially in winter, don't sit in the corner of the window as the cold wind whistles through. Conclusion: You can do it, definitely something for foreign tourists.

Very nice restaurant. Nice staff and delicious food. Worth a visit.

Super awesome, a real German experience

Classic German restaurant, in terms of decor and menu. Food good, although I wouldn't go for the cheese fries. These were twisters with cold cheese sauce on top. Everything else was delicious, both the main course and both desserts.

Excellent restaurant with a wide choice of typical dishes 🤩 Comfortable atmosphere, welcoming and kind waiters. The vibes of the place are atomic. 3 out of 5 lunches we went here, the food is truly stellar. Come and eat something good at the potato house!🥔 ❤️

Good home cooking...nothing to complain about. Service is very friendly......

Yes but not for vegetarians and the garlic corners are very salty

Traditional restaurant with hearty and tasty cuisine. I recommend.

Good restaurant in Alexanderplatz, typical German cuisine and good service. Great currywust!

Waited 25 minutes for our food before the waitress admits they lost our order and asked us to repeat it.

We received a very warm welcome. Very friendly staff and quick service The food was very tasty, we had a rump steak with potatoes, vegetables and salad. Highly recommended!!!

The most tasteless knuckle I've ever eaten in Germany. It turned out that there is only boiled one. Thick, very greasy skin, poorly cooked meat, difficult to remove from the bone. Too salty, the bone is huge

Excellent traditional German dishes. For the main dishes you can choose a side dish of potatoes with various types of preparation. Nice location and friendly service. Reservation recommended.

Good beer, good food, good playlist......😉 clear recommendation!!!

A nice place in a typical Berlin style. The servive was very kind and payed the guests a lot of attention. The food is very delicious. I sure will go back there 👍

Three of us went there for lunch and weren't convinced. The pork knuckle was ok in terms of meat, the sauce tasted like vegetable broth, the potato dumpling was completely tasteless (and this in the potato house), sauerkraut was ok. Rump steak was fine and so were the boiled potatoes. Seasoned meat and tomato soup also tasteless! So, the Alex is probably more for guests of our city. Service ok.

For me, the overall result corresponded to the expectations derived from the name of the restaurant: cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and hearty food with all possible variations of potato side dishes.

Super good food and very nice service. I recommend

We stopped with the intention of tasting something typical. The decor is rustic, you think you've gone back in time but the music is commercial from the 90s and the atmosphere loses its magic! The service was friendly but slow. The food was plentiful but not very satisfying in terms of flavours. The beef tasted like pork and was a little overcooked (I wasn't asked for the desired doneness). Apparently it looks like a tourist place but in reality it is frequented by many elderly Germans. I still recommend a visit!

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and friendly service Yvonne

Really worth a visit. If you like rustic, you've come to the right place. Potatoes in all variations. However, a reservation would be an advantage, always full when we are there. In terms of price, it's also perfectly fine.

We stopped there by chance to look at the reviews, very good traditional German cuisine, the waitresses are very nice and very understanding for us tourists, thank you to them

A nice restaurant where you can find classic German dishes and where mostly older Germans are present. You can choose and order one of 15 potatoes to accompany your main meal, they are included in the price of the main dish. The service personnel inside explain all this information with a smile.

Very delicious and worth repeating, typical Berlin dishes and very friendly waitresses advising you what to choose from outside.

The reception was Berlin-style, friendly and warm. The waitress was very accommodating and really delicious. The restaurant is very cozy. Feel comfortable all around and very beautiful. Thanks .

Local food, nice atmosphere, recommend

Super tasty food, very friendly but a bit sloppy service. The ambience is really nice, but unfortunately Ballermann music is playing in the background... I'll still come back for the food :)

The food was really quite good. But we ordered 2x steaks, both of which were very streaky and very fatty. Unfortunately

Simply MAGNIFICENT!! First day in Berlin and we weren't sure where to eat and we found the perfect place. A delicious meal, a super pretty decoration and the super friendly waiter who spoke to us in Spanish despite not knowing very well. Super recommended

Delicious steak, schnitzel and a variety of potato side dishes. Everything tasted good and the store wasn't overcrowded. You are welcome to do something with the choice of drinks, dear potato house! :)

Very good restaurant, good atmosphere and decoration, hearty and traditional Berlin dishes. Perfect if you are in Berlin for a weekend and tasting local products.

A very good restaurant, not too expensive and with a large choice of German specialties. If you go as a couple, take the plate to share, you'll get your money's worth! Special mentions to their beers as well.

Great service, polite and happy to have a little fun. Yvonne, a super great woman, served us with an open ear. We'd love to come back 👍🏻

Piatti non male però abbastanza poco curati. Gusto buono, qualità media. Lo strudel di mele per una persona, qualità scarsa, è costato 11 euro. Assolutamente improponibile.

Cute place, but the food really wasn't amazing. We had the currywurst. The side dish was good but the sausage was nothing special.

Welcoming environment, very good food and friendly service, price slightly lower than average, we paid €300 for 8 starters, one dish and drinks I highly recommend the sweet potato fries!!

Very good service and great food. Always my pleasure.

Delicious food, the perfect base for New Year's Eve. Great decor. Friendly help, also nice that the service warned the children about making too much noise! We also found their screams very disturbing. We will definitely come again! Thank you!

Something bad in the heart of Berlin

Berlin restaurant. Food good. Price is acceptable.

Very good! Typical dishes at honest prices! Warm and welcoming environment!

Excellent restaurant, excellent service, good value for money, I highly recommend it

Place with a small interior space in winter, but cozy, always very crowded with a waiting line.
