Der Alte Fritz in Berlin

Today for lunch we thought typical Berlin dishes, the way it should be. Well, a shot in the oven. Currywurst [East meets West. Wasn't anything special! Buletten [meatballs or meatballs] were not a hit. Atmosphere is quite nice, under the tower. Service was very nice.

This was our second time at old Fritz's and we were once again very well looked after. The location is great, right next to the television tower and easy to reach. The service is very friendly and accommodating. The food was very tasty and everyone of us enjoyed it. Will come by again on our next stay in Berlin.

Nice German atmosphere, great service, you are served quickly, delicious food, large portions for a great price. Were completely satisfied.

Rustically furnished, my "Viennese style" schnitzel was good, friendly service, which unfortunately was seen far too rarely. We had to find the waitress for another drink. But we would still come back.

Rustic The chef knows his craft Friendly attentive staff I can only recommend it

We went on vacation to Berlin for a week. On Monday we discovered this great restaurant. The food was super great and the service was super nice! We liked it there so much that we ate there again on our last evening in Berlin. All I can say is that old Fritz deserves all 5 stars! We will definitely come back next time we visit Berlin!

Great place and customer service , especially Tall Asian guy who was kind and patient. Thanks 🙏

I went to eat with some friends and they served us the following: iceberg lettuce from Mercadona with grated cheese for macaroni, for the second course they served us chicken (or dog) breaded with patacas from Victor Sabaris, lastly they gave us Tahitian vanilla ice cream with Swiss chocolate, very good (the only thing). The drawing scares me.

Delicious food that is not over priced in a tourist area. Strongly recommend! It was great food and great portions

Después de ir a Der Alte Fritz a tomar unas copas tranquilas en nuestra primera noche en Berlín, decidimos volver en nuestra última noche por la comida. Fuimos al restaurante esta noche y elegimos dónde sentarnos. Había numerosas mesas tomadas, repartidas por todo el restaurante, y una llevada al exterior. Antes de sentarnos, un camarero mayor se nos acercó y nos dijo que estaban cerrados y que teníamos que irnos. El restaurante estaba claramente abierto, ya que otros seguían entrando, no había ningún cartel en la puerta que dijera cerrado o que estuviera ocurriendo alguna función, y había tablones publicitarios fuera del restaurante. La forma en que nos hablaron fue horrible y no hubo necesidad. Nos sentimos extremadamente inoportuno y sin duda no volvería. Esto es una pena ya que habíamos guardado esto para nuestra última noche en la ciudad. Muy decepcionado de la forma en que nos hablaron, no era acogedor en absoluto y nos dio vergüenza salir tan pronto después de entrar.

Great restaurant in the shadow of the TV tower 👋Great staff and top prices with excellent quality. It wasn't the last time here 👌🙋‍♂️

I can only recommend it. The food is super tasty and the portions are also decent. Service great and friendly employees. Price/performance great. Unfortunately, the toilets are already very old.

Foods are delicious 😋 perfect for tasting the Eisbein. Such a huge portion. Recommend to order small dish with Nürnberg sausage for kid The restaurant is not crowded maybe during the week

EXQUISITE FOOD AND SERVICE! Excellent!!!! Review from an Argentinian 🤞🏽

Decided to eat here at short notice because of the great old German menu and were not disappointed 👍👍 super tasty, good prices and fast service. Definitely again on my next visit to Berlin.

Old Fritz kept his word, cozy and friendly service, and it also tasted very good. Thank you

Very nice restaurant right on Alex. Service very nice and attentive. The food was tasty and sufficient. Beer a bit expensive. See you again soon.....

From the outside, the old Fritz looks rather new. Inside, you'll find a somewhat dusty inn. A rustic Berlin pub. The restaurant manager brings the typical minimalist Berlin friendliness you'd expect in many Berlin restaurants. I ate there twice. The Prussian skewer wasn't that great. While it's well described, you end up getting two or three thin slices of pork medallion skewered with bacon and some sautéed vegetables, fries, mayo, and ketchup from a squeeze pack. For that money, they should serve better. Or portion it appropriately. Maybe use good belly bacon in one piece instead of those strips of bacon from the plastic wrap. The second time, I had the burger. It surpassed the Prussian skewer in terms of value for money. The burger could have been put together better. The patty and the vegetable slices were much too thick. As a result, you couldn't eat the burger properly, and it almost turned into a food fight. If you used the same amount of ingredients and sliced ​​them a bit thinner and formed the patty thinner, the burger would be easier to eat. The taste was okay, the fries were pretty darn good. Maybe you should change the fat more often, as they tasted very burnt. I think the burger bun was heated in the microwave. It was nice and soft at first and then hardened, so much so that the burger started to fall apart. All in all, a good restaurant with room for improvement.

Well, first of all, the store is well set up, a little older in terms of design, but for me it is very idyllic. The service was also phenomenal, always friendly, very competent and generally you felt very welcome. Now about the food, I can't complain at all. I ordered a Wiener Schnitzel and down to the smallest detail it was just great, the meat was perfect, the vegetables were just as great and the fries were just as great. Now to sum up, the shop is simply enormous and I would advise everyone to eat there. The prices are really clear for the portion I had. But in the end, as always: you have to know

A very quaint restaurant right next to the television tower in Berlin. Here you can get real Berlin dishes that you rarely get anymore, liver Berlin style or sausage platters with sauerkraut. Everything was very tasty and also relatively inexpensive. The ambience reflects the name well.

absolute horror wouldn’t be found dead in here curry 36 clears

Good food, normal portions, friendly service.

Good food, good value for money

It was ok, nothing more. The food was very greasy, tasted okay, reminded us of canteen food. The service seemed listless, but was still friendly in the end. But the beer was great, so three stars can be given

Standard, classic food. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Eisbein very tasty, great service and my thanks to the kitchen

We had dinner at Alten Fritz on Saturday lunchtime and it was a really good choice. The atmosphere is exactly what you would imagine if you want to enjoy German cuisine. Cozy and traditional. The service was friendly and attentive. You immediately felt comfortable. The food was really tasty and fit perfectly. The price-performance ratio is also good, which is not something that can be taken for granted everywhere these days. A perfect place for a relaxed weekend lunch. Can be recommended.

The liver tasted great. The chicken burger bun was in the oven too long, as was the chicken. The fries were fried so long that they shattered. Down in the hallway to the toilets there were cobwebs hanging from the lamps. The heater in the women's room was gray with dust. It wasn't hygienic.

We had 4 different dishes, home-style cooking, sufficient portion sizes, very tasty, a nice service person and short waiting times for our food. In the end everyone was full, satisfied and the wallet wasn't put under too much strain. Extra points for location. If you want to eat closer to the television tower, you have to eat in the tower.

Very timely restaurant, delicious food, good portions

Nice rustic German restaurant. Anyone who expects chic here is wrong. Home cooking is the focus here. The menu is quite clear, but there is something for everyone. The food was delicious, the service wasn't overly friendly or intrusive. In terms of price, everything is completely moderate and in this central location on Alexanderplatz. If you don't expect miracles and like solid food, this is the place for you. The schnitzel was fresh, hot and the side dishes were also perfectly fine, I think there is little convenience here.

Honestly one of the worst places I’ve ever experienced. There are so many things you can’t list them. Food was ‘microwaved’, servers were odd and off putting. THE STARTER WAS SALAD WITH CHEESE. If this is good then I don’t know what I have been eating all my life. Honestly horrible

Von der Reservierung bis hin zum Abendessen hat alles hervorragend geklappt. Das Essen ist sehr vielfältig und geschmacklich sehr gut. Schönes Restaurant

Actually quite comfortable but the service wasn't that great. We had starters and main courses. The starters weren't cleared away then he came with the main courses. Well, it's not easy to find specialist staff

The food itself was good, but the portions were huge. I recommend bringing a big appetite with you ;)

Very tasty and very friendly. Good portions and good value for money. A clear recommendation if you want to eat well and classic.

Great, rustic restaurant where traditional Berlin cuisine is still offered at moderate prices.

Very fast and efficient service, delicious food, good prices considering the fact it's in city center.

Un restaurante encantador. El personal era muy amable. Muy buena comida tradicional alemana que era delicioso y a un precio muy razonable.

Thank you for the lovely evening

The food was super tasty. Roulade with red cabbage and potatoes.

Good, mainly German cuisine, friendly service, ambience a bit old-fashioned, but clean

Si hay un pub que sé que voy a visitar en cualquier vacación que tome a Berlín es Der Alte Fritz, que ha estado aquí antes en muchas ocasiones a lo largo de los años, siempre lo pasó bien y así lo demostró en nuestra última visita a aquí. Un pub de gran aspecto, el interior es magnífico, al estilo berlinés muy tradicional, un llamativo bar de servicio domina la sala principal, un montón de características de madera abundan en todo este pub, gran decoración y mobiliario y un montón de opciones de asientos repartidos por todo este pub tanto en el interior como cuando hace buen tiempo afuera mirando hacia el ocupado y bullicioso Panoramastraße y el magnífico Fernsehturm. Agarramos una mesa, un miembro muy agradable del equipo del bar nos sirvió cervezas del Berliner Kindl Schultheiss Brauerei, estas se sirvieron en excelentes condiciones siendo heladas frías y espumosas, nos relajamos y planeamos el día siguiente mientras bebíamos nuestras cervezas. Mi cerveza era muy buena, una cerveza crujiente, estilo lager dorada llena de sabor y muy fácil de beber, especialmente cuando se sirve helada fría como en este pub, no es sorprendente que este pub es tan popular entre las cervezas servidas en esta buena condición. Ambos disfrutamos mucho de nuestras cervezas aquí antes de seguir adelante y aunque nuestra visita fue solo fugaz como en cualquier otra visita a aquí nos lo pasamos muy bien. Der Alte Fritz es fácil encontrar en Panoramastraße. El horario de apertura es; Lunes a sábado, mediodía hasta las 11 pm. Domingo, mediodía hasta las 10 pm. Vale la pena comprobar si estás en el distrito Mitte de Berlín.

Everything is great. Price and performance great. Highly recommended.

Qué hallazgo fue, una joya escondida justo al lado de la plaza para la torre de televisión. Estábamos buscando un lugar que tuviera snchitzel y este lugar no decepcionó. El snchitzel de cazadores o jägerschnitzel era delicioso y el servicio era increíble. A pesar de que no hablamos mucho de esmalte, el anciano parecía hacer todo lo posible para ayudarnos y disfrutamos de nuestra experiencia y comida.

Quaint rustic restaurant with traditional Berlin cuisine. I didn't get the impression that the food was warmed up.

We were here for lunch. The currywurst came in two versions and was okay, but unfortunately the schnitzel wasn't that good. The breading was sticky and the meat was quite tough, we wouldn't recommend it. The service was attentive and friendly, nothing to complain about.

We ate very well here and received friendly service. Only the decoration didn't really match the rustic furnishings.

Orrendo ristorante per turisti di bassa lega. Purtroppo ci siamo capitati perché la nostra agenzia viaggi c’è l’aveva prenotato per la prima sera del nostro viaggio. Eravamo in tanti con un menù suggerito: crema al pomodoro, piatto tedesco con cinque piccoli würstel accompagnati da crauti e purea di patate, quindi a chiusura una fetta sottile di strudel. Morale: la crema non era null’altro che un banale passata di pomodoro un po’ annacquata e tiepidina, i würstel senza sapore, secchi e rappresi che facevano pensare ad un avanzo del mezzogiorno. Abbiamo chiesto aggiunte al menù (pagando un extra ovviamente) ma ci sono state negate anche sgarbatamente. Abbiamo finito la cena in una vicina bancarella con un ottimo panino con wurstel della Turingia e senape.

Food was great, the waiter was stylish and friendly! We'll come back when we're in Berlin again.

This supposed German 'restaurant' is an insult to the palate and cuisine in general. The dishes look more like a failed experiment than real food: dried out sausages, pretzels that could be used as bricks, and sauerkraut that surely came from a forgotten can in a dank basement. The atmosphere, far from evoking Bavarian warmth, is cold and gloomy, with decoration that seems straight out of a garage sale. To top it off, the service is so slow that one could learn basic German while waiting. If you are looking for an unpleasant dining experience, this place will not disappoint.

I find myself forced to write this review after one of the most disappointing experiences of my life. This Chinese restaurant is a real disgrace. Let's start with the service: the waiters were not only unprofessional, but they treated us with an arrogance that left me speechless. There was no respect for customers, nor even a minimum of education. But the most absurd thing was the water management. They just gave us one glass and, when we asked for another, they responded with a cold "it's limited". Never heard of such a thing! The food is nothing special, in fact, it can easily be defined as a total disappointment. Unless you want to ruin your evening, I strongly advise against going to this place. Really disgusting.🇮🇹

We were here with 10 people and had a lovely evening. The colleagues were able to enjoy a little Berlin flair. Very good German cuisine and nice service. I had half the duck and the delicious baked apple for dessert... mmmĥh. Great place to show friends Berlin.

Good, German home cooking. It's rare to find it, but it is here. The roulade was super tender, the red cabbage tasted delicious and the sauce was strong and creamy. Really a pleasure. The schnitzel was OK. The only small point of criticism: with the outside temperature at 2 °C, it was really a bit cool inside. But the food was nice and hot. The manager is a very friendly host.

Unfortunately we were disinfected! The service was totally unfriendly (an older gentleman) Food was ok, among other things we had two schnitzels, one of which was very dark and dry. The rest went. But it wasn't anything special. Toilets dirty. Don't want to know what the kitchen looks like 😔 Very unfortunate

The innkeeper goes out of his way to keep his guests happy. Prompt and fast service.

Hearty, decent German cuisine, you shouldn't choose anything else. Good and fast service. Equipment "German" and slightly dusty :))

Very delicious food and huge portions. One main per person and you’re super full 😇

Anyone who likes regional, down-to-earth cuisine is in good hands here. Rustic restaurant with fair prices in a central location. Will definitely come again :-)

Really good local German food at good prices. We went twice both times we experienced excellent food

Muy buena comida local alemana, ubicación justo al lado de la torre de televisión. Buen servicio excelente relación calidad-precio, fuimos dos veces y ambas veces la comida era genial

Location outside the hustle and bustle at the back of the TV tower. Good food at normal prices. I can really recommend

Kyllingsnitzel med fries var ingen super opplevelse. Det var også en overraskende liten porsjon. Vi var der som en gruppe, så jeg vet ikke prisen men flere gikk for å ta en dønner-kebab etter maten og mente den var utrolig mye bedre.

We had dinner at this place on the last evening of our holiday. The place was not very well looked after and the service was also quite hasty. The thing that I was very disappointed about was a big mistake in the vegetarian dishes. On the menu they have four vegetarian options, including an omelette that I ordered. Unfortunately it had meat inside (I think bacon or bacon), which was not marked on the menu. I ate it anyway so as not to waste food, but it was a really bad experience.

Of course, a visit to Berlin also includes eating veal liver Berlin style. In old Fritz we can recommend this. The veal was very tender and well prepared. The service and the restaurant were top.

A good German restaurant (slight shock - Asian manager - maybe that's why it's so good). Location right next to the television tower but shielded from the hustle and bustle. Lots of outdoor seating; Rustic inside

Old Fritz has Berlin charm. We had a great meal. 1x veal liver and 1 x pork knuckle. Very tasty, authentic and, above all, served warm. We can only recommend this restaurant. Nice service, normal prices. And that at the foot of the television tower.

We can only recommend Old Fritz.

Fighting food, it is true that we were signing up for part of an excursion to the Community of Madrid. Most of us left our food half eaten. If you go on your own it will be something else.

Too much time for serving , food is okay

A remaining restaurant. The food was very good, tasty and good portions.

Quaint restaurant, food is okay but the service is really a disaster. People were sitting in front of empty glasses throughout the restaurant and the service ladies had nothing better to do than look at their cell phones and sit at the counter. That's definitely not how you keep customers

Nice place in the center of Alexanderplatz. The food is not bad.... But not very good either. Beer poured not well (almost no foam....). Be careful that the kitchen closes at 10pm, it's a shame that no one warned us and it's a shame that we asked to order something else at 9.40pm... and when they told us "the kitchen closes at 10pm".... We "but there's 8pm to go". minutes" ..... And the waitress closing "the kitchen is already closed"..... I wouldn't go back.... Too bad because the location and location are excellent.

Dear fellow human beings, let me tell you: cross this restaurant off your to-do list. And that’s before you visit it! Disclaimer: I am not from Berlin. So much in advance. Thuringian. Actually Eichsfelder, for those who are interested in more detail. Based in Berlin for 15 years. Nevertheless: if I go to a pub that advertises German cuisine and has "Old Fritz" in the name (i.e. Prussian history, if you want to be precise), then I would like the ambience to be a little less like a Chinese restaurant that was just converted yesterday looks. What a rubbish! An inconspicuous restaurant with a lifeless kitchen in the immediate vicinity of the television tower. That's the bottom line. If people from other cultures go there hoping to experience authentic cuisine of some local variety... sorry, wrong address. Too bad about the money. It's a shame about the experience that I wish everyone who came from the other side of the planet, saved up his/her money for a trip to Germany, and ends up in this dining establishment. This evening I saw three dishes that you could initially recognize from their names. Currywurst, fried liver and a liver/blood sausage thingy with half raw, briefly tossed vegetable onion rings. All nonsense. That will not do. It doesn't taste like that if you know what these dishes could taste like. I feel sorry for people who think they're enjoying authentic cuisine based on good-sounding descriptions. I would still like to mention that the staff was very friendly. Thanks for that. Tips too. But the kitchen didn't deserve a tip.

Visited several times Always very good in quality, service and price. Gladly again.

Very good food and atmosphere We were party of three and all enjoyed the food

The food was delicious & fresh. The service is nice and the restaurant is rustic. You can't complain about the prices.

The food was okay, but took a while. There were six of us and everyone got their food at some point. Espresso was canceled because the machine suddenly broke down.

Good and plentiful food, very friendly staff and fair prices considering the central location.

Try the chicken breast with mushrooms in cream sauce is delicious 😋

The food was really tasty, absolutely wort the price! Service was one of the best we experienced in Berlin within 5 days. We really sugest the place!

Food was very tasty. The meat is very tender. The service was very attentive and fairly quick.

The food was good. Seating in the shade in the beer garden was very pleasant. In the end I left a tip of 5 euros to the waitress, or was it even the boss. He made a face like he had bitten a sour cucumber, no thanks, no goodbye, no nothing.. ..or is that the Berlin style that we from the provinces don't understand?

I love this restaurant. The pancake is unbeatable!!

The food here is great if you are after authentic German dishes. The food was good & the service was quick. The restaurant itself has a nice outdoor seating area in a square on Alexanderplatz, which is very nice in the summer. The food was reasonably priced & the menu was extensive.

We were at Alten Fritz for dinner on August 2nd, 2024. The service was very friendly and also very attentive. The food was very, very tasty. The portions were good and the price was great too. We can only recommend the restaurant. When we are in Berlin again, we will eat there again. It is located in the middle of the hustle and bustle, close to Alexanderplatz, but still remote.

A great restaurant with typical German dishes that are super delicious! Usually too much for the ladies and the men have to bite their teeth! The ambience suffers a bit because there isn't much to see right next to the television tower. Price/performance is top here and the service is great!

The perfect place to end a hot day, with many kilometers covered on foot. After two days in Berlin, we spent both evenings in this restaurant. Home-style home cooking, delicious Berliner Kindl, super attentive and open staff, and fair prices.

During our stay in Berlin, we ate here 2 times. Both were great. Great food, great beer, great service. Good prices.

Very nice rustic furnishings. Fast and friendly service. Very tasty German/Berlin cuisine.

The currywurst was very tasty. I can only recommend

After a long city tour, we finally found a restaurant that was quiet. Very nice staff, delicious food, warm and quick. We would like to come again, Maria and Michael from Leipzig

Finding a place where you can eat German food around alexander square is not easy, there’re few options. The service is good, welcoming and attentive personnel. The food also was good, it's fresh. The schnitzel could have been tastier. however we left satisfied!

Always worth a visit! We are in Berlin every year and eating there is highly recommended. Staff very friendly and accommodating, if you have an extra request you can get it fulfilled.

The food is very good and very tasty for an old German style

Great food, great service and the crowd will definitely fill you up!

Great place to stop at for great beer and some German food offerings if near tv tower and alexanderplatz. Waiter was very attentive and the food recommendations he made were wonderful. It is in a quiet area near the very busy Alexanderplatz which makes for a nice break.

Very good... Nice and friendly, delicious food, price is completely ok.

Was there today (Saturday) by chance, to our surprise it was very empty (maybe due to the football 🤣) But there would also be plenty of seating inside and outside. The waiter was really very friendly, courteous and quick. The food was great, the price was completely reasonable for such a large portion, it was very tasty 👌

After the initial excitement of finding an obviously German restaurant with appropriate cuisine, this disappeared when we entered the restaurant. The decor was rustic German, the music was German 80s 👍🏼but when it came to the staff I thought of an Asian restaurant (please don't mean anything bad or even racist) and I had my first doubts. Somehow it didn't fit into the overall picture. What was positive was that we were served quickly and friendly. The wheat beer glass was missing the rest of the yeast in the bottle. The schnitzel (absolutely traditional German) was unfortunately not prepared well or was not tasty.
