BLACKBEARDS BBQ FACTORY in Berlin

We made reservations on Friday evening. Most people had already eaten, but we waited 45 minutes for our food (there were two of us). The service was nice, but they didn't have a good overview and an eye for newcomers. Spare ribs 500g were lukewarm and not juicy, the BBQ sauce was good. With the mac'n'cheese, the noodles were very soft and tasted floury. Garlic bread was perfect but was forgotten when ordering and came after we asked. Drinks were ok, but not particularly outstanding. Price too expensive for the quality of the food.

Important to note that only Giro cards and cash are accepted here. In 2024!! This was upsetting as we found out after we finished our meal and wanted to pay. I had to travel 1km to withdraw cash at the ATM. Hence, the 3 stars. Aside from that, the food was well-presented and tasted good, with the cocktails being particularly nice.

The ambience was good, even if the lighting in the store itself was a bit dim. My table wasn't straight, so the plate kept almost slipping off the table. The food came after 1 1/2 hours, for some only after 2 hours. The food was, to put it politely, below average. The burger was cold and anything but medium rare, as ordered. The fries were inedible! I lacked taste in everything! The only really great thing about the shop for me was the staff, the one waitress in particular was really very nice and accommodating. For you alone I would have given 6 stars for the service, the gentlemen seemed slightly overwhelmed! It's a shame, maybe I had too high expectations or maybe I didn't have such a good evening.

Generous portions, very great food, very nice service. Fantastic BBQ sauce. Music choice was questionable and the giant banister with the logo hanging on the wall is a strange decorating choice that removes some of the otherwise nice industrial qualities of the space. Nice cocktails, but could have had more beer options. Located in a very strange place (I doubt its possible to stumble over this place without prior planning), but definitely worth the trip!

Personal, really nice staff, I like this restaurant and will happily come back

I think I approached the matter a little too positively. Or we had the wrong chef.

Brilliant! The burgers are really, really nice! The crew working at the time, vey friendly. Highly recommended if you are in the Berlin area. 👍

Cool location, unfortunately a bit out of the way, but definitely worth a visit. Very tasty food, BBQ, all young people working, nice and accommodating.

I went there with a good friend after a recommendation from a work colleague who raved about this shop. The ambience, very nice. It feels comfortably warm and the interior is well put together. The staff was more than friendly and not intrusive. The corn dogs, a dream. Delicious cheese sausages in a corn dough coating. I then ate the chipotle burger with jalapenos. The meat is very juicy and delicious all around. The fries that we specially ordered were very good. Not the best I've eaten so far, but they were tasty. Important: They were NOT oversalted. Definitely price/performance ratio. We paid €59 for 4 drinks, 2 burgers, 2x corn dogs and 1 small bowl of fries. Which is absolutely fine. The parking situation is so-so. Directly opposite, they have a large parking lot, but unfortunately only for hotel guests. If you dare, you can stand there, but you have to remember that it can be towed away.

Great value for money and delicious American food! I can definitely recommend the ribs and the pastrami sandwich as well as the mac & cheeseburger!

The food is good, is nicely prepared and initially seems sufficient. You can't always meet every taste right away, but there are tools to help you do that. Then a bit strange that as a BBG FACTORY there is only a small fly fart BBQ sauce on the plate and you have to ask for a 2nd or 3rd one. We reordered twice and found that even though the restaurant was empty, it took up to 20 minutes to prepare individual dishes. Unfortunately, 2-3 things on the menu are significantly overpriced. What is really annoying and unfortunately cannot be excused in this day and age is the fact that you can only pay with the old-fashioned EC Maestro card from the 90s. When asked, a small A5 sized sign was shown on which it was written like this but no one noticed it. If asked, the contract or switching from an EC card to an ALL card contract is too expensive. Anyone who has an idea or is an expert here knows that this is nonsense and nonsense. I haven't had a debit card for years and only have the three most common credit cards, but that's okay. We ate well but that was it. Service top and no complaints, so as far as the gentleman at the tables in front of the bar is concerned, the lady behind the bar was a little unmotivated. The location itself is cool and clean, it's quite impressive. Unfortunately I HAVE to deduct 3 stars for the card payment stuff, because unfortunately that's no longer an excuse these days. If you want to make money, you also have to give your customers the opportunity to spend it.

Delicious food, great service, would love to come back

Very tasty BBQ restaurant and friendly staff!

Brilliant food Nice service Super authentic atmosphere Definitely come back! Keep it up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Were totally disappointed with the food!!! Meat was burnt and dry - can't recommend it.

The food was great tastes like in the USA. When you walk in, you immediately feel like you're in a Texas BBQ joint.

I was very surprised to find such good food in the area.

We chose the pastrami sandwich and the spare ribs (pork) . The pastrami was seasoned well and tasted amazing. It was quite tasty for almost 20 Euros but we were happy that a lot of the meat was put inside the sandwich. The sandwich itself was also really good, crispy and fit well to the meat. The spare ribs however were a bit dry on the inside and tasted okay. The waiters were super kind, polite and also attentive, asking us whether everything was alright and whether we needed anything.

Really cool shop, delicious food... But don't pay with a credit card...

Was recommended to me and was worth it 👌

Food was very tasty. The corn on the cob wasn't that tasty. Large portions. Nice atmosphere and very quiet location.

Went there for dinner last Friday. Food excellent!!! Staff very friendly and helpful. Any time. Two small notes for the operator. It was difficult to read the menu in the restaurant because the lighting at the table was rather dim. And maybe you should think about wet wipes if the customer orders finger food.

The food is super delicious 😋 the service is very friendly, the price is justified for the delicious food 30€ for a main course, 2 starters and a drink

The food was really great. We had the beef ribs... Super tender and tasted amazing. The waiter was very attentive. Yes, the price is pretty decent overall. But the portion was very large and really tasty. Unfortunately, the ambience in the industrial area is just OK... But inside it's really cozy. We'd love to come back! A real recommendation!

Absolutely recommended, the food is really delicious. It doesn't look like it from the outside, but it's nicely done on the inside

The meat was decent but the sides were rather bleak. There's a craft beer brewery right next door but their beer menu is pretty conventional.

Sadly I didn't finish my meal. It tasted mediocre to me but my German partner liked everything. The home made drinks were nice. You can only pay with EC/cash. No credit cards despite it being 2024.

Update 2024: Food still great, service friendly, definitely try it! Great spare ribs, a great burger, a good sandwich and super-crispy sweet potato fries, homemade barbecue sauce to top it off with - and always delivered quickly and hot. Top!

Location is hidden and not exactly in the coolest area, but the food and service make it worth stopping by. Both the sandwich and the burger were delicious. Also very rich with the fries. I preferred not having room for the mega brownie dessert. They also have good beer and the prices are fair. We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty, burger, ribs, sandwich

Very large restaurant with large parking lot, tastefully decorated. There were four of us here and we got a place without any problem. The service was friendly and the food was delicious, although the beef ribs were unfortunately very dry. Unfortunately, the cocktail and dessert selection leaves something to be desired. Overall a good BBQ restaurant for an evening with friends.

The food is simply amazing Really good BBQ, super nice rustic atmosphere It takes a while for the food to arrive, but it's totally worth the wait.

If you want to go out for a delicious 😋 meal and be served very friendly, go here... spontaneously go there and go home full...

Great shed. Food is a 10 out of 10. And there is free parking. Payment can be made in cash or with debit card. Unfortunately you can't use a credit card here.

Food was very good and sufficient, service friendly and accommodating. Environment absolutely ok for us, nice and quiet location.

Very friendly service, very tasty food. We had the burger, pulled pork sandwich and the side salad. Very good portions. The salad is enough as a starter for two people. As a starter we had the garlic bread. We recommend. The iced tea with lemon is homemade and tastes very fresh.

Our group enjoyed the food and loved the atmosphere, the whole location smelled amazingly good like wood and only slightly like bbq.

We had dinner last Saturday. So we were satisfied. Food and drinks were great. Disappointing in the end as we wanted to pay our bill with a voucher! Unfortunately, since we had an invoice of around €107 and our voucher worth €180, payment was not possible. The staff was not allowed to make a written change in the voucher with the rest. Super annoying because we weren't informed about this beforehand when we received it.😤 Therefore the tip to everyone: When redeeming the voucher, the bill should be higher!

US food in a rustic atmosphere The approach to the commercial area is bumpy and over bad cobblestones, parking spaces are shared with the hotel opposite. Enough space for a football team on Saturday evening. Very nice, attentive service. Food really tasty. Portion manageable. A large portion of ribs didn't even fill up the wife. All side dishes extra. So you can hardly get away with less than 30 euros for food. The pastrami sandwich for just under 20 euros was delicious but only with 3 forks of coleslaw and pickles. If we shared potato wedges, that was enough. Since there is no through traffic, it is quite quiet even if there is no view. It won't be our regular restaurant, but you can do it.

Very nice staff and very tasty food.

Wow describes it best. We spontaneously felt like going out to eat and came across this address. And what can I say other than delicious. The service was top, the food was amazing. We really didn't expect that. Keep it up. Absolute recommendation. 👌🏼

Great food and great service. Would love to come back.

The food is really delicious and the staff is super friendly. We've been there several times and tried out a lot of things. Excellent!

Simple, delicious and great service! We are excited!

So, without exaggerating, it's worth going out to eat with her. Fast friendly service, small compact menu but the quality of the food is 100%!!! A bit expensive but really fair!

The food was very tasty, but not a taste explosion. It was a little too sweet for me. The restaurant itself is great, a little too dark, the service is great. All in all recommended. I'll be back again too. Now I was there again. Prices have increased. Still felt like I had less on my plate. I also had the feeling that the quality of the ribs was no longer that high. The meat wasn't that tasty and there wasn't much meat on it. The dessert was very tasty.

All I can say is...I love it! The ambience, the service, the food...very good. The meat (we had ribs) is tender, juicy and flavorful. We have been to the old stock exchange three times so far and were not disappointed.

There were two of us on a Friday evening. Reservation went very well, service was friendly. We sat very closely, private conversations are rather difficult. The food is good, although very meat-heavy with little side option, but that's probably the goal. You should avoid heels, the atmosphere is rustic. With a full house I imagine the toilet situation (I only saw 1 for ladies) would be difficult, but it was very clean. I might want to go again in the summer in the hope of seeing the smoker in action :-)

The platter for two was very tasty and sufficient, the brisket was okay, the coleslaw was deliciously dressed.

The beef ribs are so delicious that I give 5 stars for that directly! It was very soft and tasty, and the bbq sauce was perfectly matching it. I also ordered two Mac’n cheese portions, but only one was enough for two people. It came very warm, but was too dry and although it was good, I wouldn’t order it again as it’s not as tasty as other mac’n cheese I’ve eaten in other places (maybe because it was too dry?... not sure). I’ve also ordered their burgers and I liked them pretty much. The cheesesteak sandwich is amazing and the meat is really juicy and soft!

Excellent restaurant in Marzahn, Berlin with delicious food! The staff are attentive and friendly.

The visual ambience is nice, but the ribs weren't as expected... unfortunately not good value for money.

Stopped there for the second time after 5 months. The first impression was confirmed. Good food at a good price. Friendly staff. Quiet location, free parking included. We would love to come back 🤗✌️

We were able to stop in with 5 people shortly before the kitchen closed. The food was good quality and plentiful, the drinks tasted a bit stale. Prices definitely above average, location hidden but stylishly furnished. EC card payment is possible.

That was absolute rubbish!!! 130 for a record which was absolutely ridiculous! 2 ribs that was a joke, just not recommended, please go somewhere else... That was just sad! And it was my birthday...Never again!

Really sad, not recommended, they really ripped us off... that was an absolute joke, please go somewhere else...

An absolutely wonderful place. Every detail has been taken care of with precision, from the excellent food to the impeccable services and the enchanting atmosphere. I can't recommend the ribs highly enough, they are simply delicious.

Great American BBC restaurant. I've never eaten such tender rib of beef before.

We recommend. Especially for meat eaters. Super great location and very nice service.

Interesting restaurant in Marzahn. Tested it with friends yesterday. Food was very tasty and is what you would expect at a BBQ location. Prices are also what you would expect from BBQ and match the quality. The dessert was also very tasty. You just have to ask because it's not on the menu. If you like burgers, you should stop by on Tuesday or Thursday because those are the burger days. Recommended, come back.

On Saturday at 8 p.m. there were plenty of tables available and a waiter served the 10 occupied tables. It all went pretty quickly. Drinks were picked up and delivered quickly. Food was also served quickly and tasted really good. Of course, none of this is particularly cheap here. But I'd rather pay a little more if everything is correct, which is the case here. Toilets very well maintained. Overall, I like that there is a lot of space and high ceilings here compared to the other store on Pappelallee. It is much more comfortable and lovingly furnished here. There is also a large free parking lot. I will now only prefer Marzahn. My tip: a small rack of ribs with mac & cheese is enough to still have room for dessert afterwards. With a small beer and tip you're at €30. It fits.

Mega BBQ! Great rips... great burgers! You have to try the in-house BBQ!! You can dine here weekly 😁

After a visit with very good hospitality, this time we ordered and picked up. Unfortunately, that was pretty disappointing. In terms of quality, this had nothing to do with past experience on site.

Ambience is great, the food is ok, but the prices are really high.

Food was good, service was very friendly, price was right. Toilet clean. Too dark and uncomfortable for me personally

So far one of the best BBQ spots in Germany that I’ve been to. I have been here a few times and I have tried a few different dishes, their smoked Beef Rib is definitely a must try but bring a friend or come hungry! It’s a good portion size! Overall, A great spot for a quality meat binge!!!

I was pleasantly surprised. Simply great Will stop by often.

So the store was convincing. Someone has really thought about this. The ambience is coordinated... fits the BBQ theme. The service was very friendly and was also able to advise on food. I had the 500g pork ribs and potato wedges... the ribs were incredibly tender and tasty.. potato wedges were crispy and had the right amount of salt and the coleslaw was also delicious. Everything I made myself, which I think is important. Definitely worth a visit. Deserved 5 stars!

Tucked away in a rather strange area, Blackbeard is a pretty cool shop. The restaurant is located in an old, converted factory hall. The staff is nice, but could be more attentive (our side dishes were only brought when we asked, sour cream was given to us instead of mayo). The food itself was delicious and the atmosphere was great. We had a vegetarian with us. This was communicated in advance and there was a special veggie burger for him (it's not otherwise on the menu). Meat eaters will be very happy here, otherwise vegetarians will only find side dishes that they can eat.

I was a bit disappointed, I didn't expect to get just two burnt sausages with no side dishes for 14 euros in a restaurant where you have to sit on a cheap blanket as a poster and can only wash your hands with ice-cold water. When I asked Keller about it, he wanted to add something, but then he forgot. My girlfriend was still hungry afterwards, but since the whole thing took a little over an hour, we didn't order again. By the way, I had the sandwich, which tasted very good but was also a bit small for 19 euros.

Cool location, good food at a slightly higher price than similar restaurants. No debit/visas unfortunately a big negative point

We had a mixed plate (BBQ for 2 people). The food tasted good and was sufficient, but unfortunately only lukewarm. We had to wait quite a long time, but the service was attentive and friendly. We liked the rustic atmosphere.

The store is really beautifully designed and the staff is friendly! However, the food is extremely expensive and not worth the money. 6€ for 2 5cm long corn dogs 33€ for 600g beef ribs that taste like mom’s goulash…… Not again, or for drinking…..

Sorry for the poor image quality. The food was great, unfortunately we waited a bit long for our drinks and unfortunately not everything on the menu was available (you should perhaps ask in advance) otherwise only recommended. We will go again

We were often happy but that wasn't okay! Beef brisket...

The food was great! Unfortunately we had to wait 1:20 hour for our food and it was uncomfortably cool in the location. (It was winter and there wasn't enough heating.)

Very selected dishes, but also quite expensive. A wonderful taste journey!

We were very disappointed! Ambiance was really cool but that was all. It was just as cold and most of the guests had their jackets on and insisted on a blanket. Absolutely understaffed staff and not particularly friendly. We waited 35 minutes for drinks and we didn't get anything at all. The food was an absolute disaster. We ordered the fleischblatte for two people and waited for an hour. Food was cold! Ribs way too dry and partly burnt, fries too salty. When we pointed this out to the waiter, he just said that no one had ever complained and that things usually get better 🤔what kind of statement is that!? We are very disappointed because the bill was €95 for two people!!!! And we didn't leave the store with a smile after a good meal as usual.

Super delicious ribs!! The ambience is very perfect as well, not too noisy and big and spacious. The service is pretty fast and very friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have some yummy ribs!!!

Ambience very inviting and service friendly and attentive. Brisket was good. The smoky BBQ sausages were tasty and something different. The chicken wings were nice and big and tasty. Unfortunately we didn't get the mash and cheese. Prices were a bit overpriced. We'll be back again in the summer

Nice service but the food was really too greasy for me

I received a confirmation for my reservation on Tuesday for the weekend. It was a special occasion and I mentioned it. Once there they had no clue what the reservation was about. I showed the confirmation on my phone and nothing. So he offered the smallest crooked table they had in there. I am not even kidding: what we ordered did not fit in the table, I started taking the decoration down to the floor, and the plates were sliding sideways. So I advise you to make a reservation beforehand not to... Oh no, wait.

The food was super tasty. Our recommendation is to order dishes or add-ons individually and share them instead of the platter. The sweet potato chips were super crunchy and especially the chicken wings and pulled pork were great. The only annoying thing was the attention of the service. We had to make a real effort to place orders, get cutlery or the table cleared. The waiter behind the bar was extremely helpful. We hope you're still grooving.

Ate there in a larger group. The food order was taken as part of the reservation and was also very good, otherwise it would have been too much. The food was very good and the price was completely justified. Will definitely come back again.

Beautiful location in an industrial style with a discreet menu. Our mixed platter for 2 people at 48 was okay, but rather average. It wasn't a taste explosion... Rustic atmosphere, service always attentive and friendly, order/food came quickly, a little louder at times. Reservation advantageous due to opening hours 5 p.m. - 10 p.m.

The meat was very tasty but they still need to work on the mac and cheese a bit

Alles prima. Die Bedienung war Flott , das Essen heiß & lecker. Komme gerne wieder

Schlecht geheizte Halle mit unbequemen Stühlen und lange Wartezeiten auf lauwarmes Essen. Von der Mixed Plate war das einzige Leckere das Pulled Pork. Die Rippchen waren sehr trocken und lauwarm. Das Hähnchen nix besonderes und die Pommes labberig. Absolut den Preis nicht wert. Nochmal fährt man dafür nicht soweit raus. 😬

Schönes Lokal, zwar etwas abgelegen. Aber super BBQ Speisen. Ich hatte ein Pastrami Sandwich. Und mein Kollege hatte Spare Ribs.

Es war ein gelungener Abend. Eine sehr gute Küche, mit tollem Service

Wir mussten schon etwas warten aber im großen und ganzen LECKER 😋

Immer wieder saulecker! Wir gehen gern dort essen! Preis Leistung ist ok, Servicepersonal super nett und die Einrichtung ist mega 👍

Tolles ambiente, waren aufn mittwoch Abend da. 3 Tische besetzt inkl unserem. Haben 25 Minuten auf ne kleine Cola gewartet. Die zweite kam garnicht erst an.Ribs und Pulledpork war gut. Chicken hätte auch von Aldi sein können und die "hot" wings waren alles andere als Würzig. Pastrami Sandwich war so zäh dass es meine Frau kaum essen konnte. Also alles in Allem ist die Location und das Bier das Beste.

Ambiente gut, Bestellung Essen nur nach Aufforderung möglich, Burgerkarte nur auf Nachfrage nach Essensbestellung bekommen(am Nachbartisch gesehen), Pastrami nicht essbar-zäh, Rippchen und Beilage durchschnittlich gut. Nachspeise auf Nachfrage -alle. Personal bemüht, nett. Eindruck gesamt- muss ich nicht nochmal haben.

Pretty tasty. I've been expecting the portion of the ribs to be bigger but unfortunately they were not that big. And they don't accept cards, only cash. And that was a bummer.

Die Chicken Wings waren sehr trocken. Die Rippchen waren sehr lecker! Insgesamt viel zu teuer Kleine Portionen und wenig Auswahl leider. Der Kellner war leider etwas unaufmerksam und man musste ihn immer wieder mehrmals darauf hinweisen, dass man noch was zu trinken braucht oder Servietten. Von alleine kam da leider gar nichts. Wir hatten einen Vegetarier dabei, für diese Person gab es leider so gut wie keine Alternativen. Das Ambiente war an sich sehr schön gestaltet.

Essen super 😋 Service auch soweit gut und das Ambiente ist toll, nur etwas dunkel...Speisekarte lesen...nicht einfach 😅 Aber insgesamt ein tolles Konzept 👍

Ich war mehr als positiv überrascht. Das Essen ist mega lecker und die rustikale Athmosphäre einfach nur großartig. Absolut empfehlenswert.

Best Ribs in Town! Immer wieder sehr gerne dort.

Schöner Laden, hat uns sehr gut gefallen, aber! Der Service war schlecht (zu lange Wartezeit) dafür das nur 4-5 Tische da waren.Die Cocktails waren ok, das essen war kalt, die Spareribs waren bei einem sehr zart und bei dem anderen Gummi. Der Burger war gut und das Beef Rib war lecker aber auch sehr lau warm und für diesen Preis hätte man sich schon etwas mehr Mühe geben können! Preislich nicht wirklich gerechtfertigt… Schade eigentlich!
