Gasthaus Krombach in Berlin

Best German restaurant I’ve visited since a very long time. The food is fresh, authentic and served with a very welcoming atmosphere. This is what a German restaurant should look and taste like

The two of us stopped there for lunch today, the service was very friendly and offered me a comfortable seat (I'm pregnant), the cards were brought quickly and drinks and food were taken. It wasn't a problem that we shared a portion. The currywurst was pretty tasty, service was friendly. We'd love to come back, keep it up.

Great old Berlin restaurant with an excellent pork knuckle

I’m from USA, but my grandparents were German and the food here reminds me of my grandparents’ home cooking! Fantastic food and beer.

Unfortunately it has diminished significantly since my last visit 5 years ago. Long waiting time for service. Food ok.

The food was tasty (although on the pricey side), but the service was not friendly. We were also obliged to pay a tip, which we thought was inappropriate. Not recommended for us!

Very good and well prepared food. Cozy atmosphere.

Fried potatoes taste too greasy, schnitzel tough in parts. The dish was really one of the worse ones I've eaten. Otherwise the atmosphere is quite nice. I wouldn't do it again.

good food，bad waitress. The waitress seems like to taught the guests a lesson. She doesn't come to order for us even when chatting with others.

Meatballs and knuckle of pork were okay, veal liver was not tasty, the mashed potatoes were unseasoned and inedible.

I will not recommend this restaurant. We waited a long time and the order didn't come completely. We complained to the waitress and she told us that it was our fault because we didn't say our order twice. She had no problem showing this behavior even though there were other customers there who saw it. Very arrogant! Now I understand why the restaurant is almost empty.

Awful. Literally served molded bread . . . twice!! Salmon dry and tasted like it spent 2 years in a salt mine. Took 2 hours to get the appetizers. Then after 2 hours forgot one of the mains. This couldn’t have been a worst experience. Don’t waste your time or money.

A must place to be in Berlin. Nice atmosphere exceptional local cuisine food options and excellent service. Strongly recommended!!

Unfortunately a very chaotic stay. The wrong food was delivered and our food arrived at a completely delayed time for the group. It tasted good, but I didn't think it was good value for money.

Хороший немецкий ресторан с немецкой кухней, Все было на уровне. Колбаски , свинина, картофель , пиво, шнапс, сервис - все было хорошо

This german restaurant was a highlight of our stay in Berlin. They offer a great selection of authentic german food and everyone in the place was very friendly, both the employees and the customers. Reservations are a good idea because the place is packed!

Good, tasty food at slightly inflated prices. Very friendly service!

Got the schnitzel and goulash. Overall solid, schnitzel was crunchy though maybe a little tough. Goulash was on the salty side. Reasonable prices.

It was very strange the post of 1 star is rejected by the restaurant. Maybe this is the way to keep their 4,3 star with bad food and service It was a nice restaurant but not anymore. I have ordered steak medium rare and it turns out to be well done and even over cooked. The hash brown becomes a baked potato without any seasoning and with a lot of salad dressing. The description said it comes with salad but I am not sure that little portion with a large piece of butter can be called salad. Paying almost 30 euros I am sure there are a lot better options than that. Cannot imagine not feeling full after visiting a German restaurant.

Very cozy and good home-style restaurant. Attentive and very friendly staff and also the guests reflect an average of Berlin. Highly recommended.

Very tasty and authentic food, very friendly service.

The location isn’t bad really at all! It’s off the busy part of the street which makes it better than the other. It wasn’t crowded so it was easy to find a spot. The food was just fine. However nothing to really go on about. If you want to get off the Main Street then this is the place. But don’t stop for just the food. You can find other places that are better.

Here you can sit comfortably and enjoy your food or drinks.

Today (26 august 2024) we ordered Schnitzel for two. And we were served an extremely dry and un eatable Schnitzel prepared in a microwave. One of the schnitzels was replaced by another almost just as bad and dry as the first one. All three was half the size of a Schnitzel normally served in this city. As we were paying the bill the table beside us had the same dish, but now the size was twice as big, but still dry as they said. Do not go to this restaurant if you want decent German food.

Traditional German food in a calm location with nice staff. Good choices and decent beers. The food very good. Large dessert. I will go back the next time I'm in Berlin.

Osteria tipica berlinese con classico menu . Niente di eccezionale o pretenzioso. Abbiamo assaggiato le salsicce con crauti e purè ed erano buone. Bicchierone di birra e va tutto bene. Consigliato ma nella media.

One should not listen to or be influenced by negative opinions; they're just bitter pro-Ukrainians who didn't like the restaurant's amusing advertising portraying Zelensky as a piggy bank (extorting money from German taxpayers who didn't ask for anything). 😁

Das Krombacher Brauhaus hat mich echt überrascht. Die Bedienung war super nett, aufmerksam und hat alles schnell gebracht. Das Berliner Eisbein war richtig lecker, da gibt’s nichts zu meckern. Einziger Minuspunkt: Draußen ist die Bestuhlung ziemlich sporadisch, und die Tische sind echt klein. Sonst aber top!

The Krombacher Brauhaus really surprised me. The service was super nice, attentive and brought everything quickly. The Berliner Eisbein was really tasty, there’s nothing to complain about. The only negative point: the seating outside is pretty sporadic and the tables are really small. Otherwise great!

Had the schnitzel and eisbein, was very tasty! portions were good and service was very efficient! also they had a large cola which was very nice since other places only serve small colas

Great quaint place with super delicious food. Only recommended!!

A good place to eat well. I got a table spontaneously, I was lucky. Nice service, had a lot to do and still very friendly and attentive. The schnitzel was OK but not the best, unfortunately a bit dry. The potato salad was OK too. Great atmosphere!

Great authentic restaurant with delicious home-made food. Service first class. Cozy atmosphere. Gladly again at any time! Our tip: homemade brawn, very tasty.

We sat here (three of us) to have a drink. Delicious Weihenstephaner beer, white wine and apple juice. We wanted a small snack (4:00 PM) so we shared a plate of fries with currywurst. Delicious, can't say anything else. We shared an apple strudel and it was delicious too. The female (redhead for recognition) waitress was also very nice and very cheerful. I have no idea what dinner is like, but I just think you can enjoy a delicious meal here (German cuisine). Would definitely come back here if only for the friendliness.

Unfortunately I have to give this place a low rating because the food was really bad. I’ve never seen such a smallllll portion of schweinemedaillons. The meat was also overcooked and burnt. It was 30 eur for this, price value ratio ain’t good. Service staff and ambiance was nice though

Food 4 | Service 2 | Atmosphere 3 Tried this location based upon the reviews and a desire to sample German fare. Atmosphere | 3 Was welcomed by a gentleman who was very kind to set a place for our party; his welcome was friendly and appreciated. The atmosphere was good; the only drawback being that the prevailing wind blows smoke from patrons with cigarettes into the indoor seating area. It is a cozy location. Food | 4 The desert was very good and the items selected were tasty; not too salty and the meat was tender. The food seemed consistent with other reviews. Service | 2 The primary disappointment was in the receipt of the check after payment had processed and noting that the tip had automatically been included and an additional charge indicated on the meal. I am not certain I would have received a receipt, had I not asked. It would have been better to have received the invoice from the waitstaff such that the customer could review, ask any questions, and then make payment. Given the reviews previously, I was disappointed with this aspect of the service.

Horrible ! We had food poisoning! The pork smelled musty, it was inedible and then sick for several days... In addition, there is a tourist trap where the waitress herself chooses the tip that she includes in the bill. You come out sick and ripped off.

I was with my wife 2 days ago. We wanted to try German food and we were not disappointed. Excellent quality and adequate price. Michael was super friendly and attentive in dealing with us. There are undoubtedly people who know how to run a restaurant business... thank you. 100% advisable

Although it's located in the touristy area near Ku'damm, this place oozes authentic German vibes. The service is extremely friendly (they speak English) and took care of me while I waited for my date to arrive. We got a Pfefferlinge soup to start (tasty!) and my date also got a Goulash soup as her main, which she reported was also delicious. I ordered the Schnitzel as my entree of course, and when they brought it out, the waitress noted how small it was and brought me a whole other cut for free! How nice is that?! The Schnitzel itself was good and comes with Preiselbeeren and a vinegar-based potato salad, which I liked a lot. We were tempted to get dessert, but sadly the only traditional option they have is the Apfelstrudel, which I'm not super fond of. But overall, I really liked this one! With the super friendly service in a convenient area and a solid menu, I can definitely see myself coming back for more. Maybe I'll see you there! Prost!

Worst food in this area. Horrible meat and presentation. Worst potatos ever… only ice stuff.

I dined at this place with my husband and two nieces two nights ago, having come specifically to have Spätzle. We had walked past this restaurant several times. On this very warm summer evening, at least half the tables were empty in the front dining areas that have large windows and overlook the street. At least two of those tables would have fit a group four, but had the “Reserviert” signs on them. Another two tables could have been pushed together to accommodate 4 guests. But we were led straight to a far table at the back dining room, where there were no other guests. Was that because we were with a child and a teenager? In a little while, a group of three, from what it seemed, tourists were seated at the table next to us. They seemed taken aback by their table as well; even slightly more tucked away than we were. For my young nieces’ sake, I decided we will stay. We dined quickly and left. I even still left a tip. As we left, the tables with the “Reserviert” signs were still vacant. Even though we received a quick service and the food was okay, I did not have the experience I had expected. Despite the old-time ambiance, the atmosphere regarding the guests was … selective.

Delicious. Real German cuisine. The service is pleasant and friendly

Excellent German fare at reasonable prices and great service if you want to sample traditional German/Berlin cuisine!

Rude and awful stuff, do not recommend We had great expectations for this place, but unfortunately it was the worst experience I believe they need to work more on the menu and make food taste better than that

Had an awful experience here. Totally not recommending! We were a group of 20+ people, our waiter was absolutely unfriendly and not helpful. We all speak German, but that didn’t hinder him from discussing us simply while standing next to us. Some people came from other cities and countries and simply wanted to try traditional wieniese kitchen. Well, they got an unforgettable experience: waiters in traditional places are “supposed” to be unfriendly? Not an ok reason as for me. Our guests were shocked in a negative way( they were like : is it everywhere like that? Why is that man so unfriendly? A Lady at bar was absolut sweet and nice. But this place in general? Disaster…

The food is great and the staff are very friendly even with a very busy full house. It's clearly a popular place locally as I went in for an early dinner and I think the family behind me got the last table that wasn't pre-booked.

A disgusting place with unsanitary conditions and racist owners! I don't recommend anyone to come here

Thank you very much Jens, we were only at your place for a few drinks - we enjoyed it very much - a very nice restaurant to spend time in Berlin - we look forward to the next time - then with dinner at your place - kind regards Martin, Petra & Gabi

Traditional German food at its finest. The wait staff was so helpful with recommendations for both beer and food. Their suggestions were perfect! We were full but made room for apple strudel with ice cream and whipped cream... I would highly suggest you do the same. Look it up on Google maps as it is slightly off the beaten path in Berlin.

The Eisbein was a little salty but delicious. The atmosphere is also great. However, when I asked for a receipt before paying, they said they would give it to me after payment, but when I checked, I found that a 10% tip had been charged. If you had asked, I would have gladly given it to you... I said it lightly and moved on since it was money I was going to give anyway, but I felt like I wasn't able to finish off the delicious food well.

Great staff, always very friendly and in a good mood. Good German home cooking and Berlin cuisine. The food tastes very good and I always enjoy coming here. Absolute recommendation!

Gasthaus Krombach is a solid option for those looking for tasty, although not necessarily unique, German cuisine. The restaurant is characterized by good service quality and a pleasant atmosphere, which makes it worth visiting. Although this is not a place that will be remembered for a long time, it will certainly satisfy most guests looking for a nice place for lunch or dinner in Berlin. The atmosphere at Gasthaus Krombach is pleasant and conducive to both meetings with friends and family dinners. The decor of the place refers to traditional German inns, which adds charm and authenticity to it. Enjoy your meal!

I'm more than disappointed. The staff is not nice

Food and drinks good. More of a pub than a restaurant but it fit.

Very nice service, food was very tasty

Friendly service and delicious dishes~♥

Very tasty currywurst and a super pleasant atmosphere. We would like to come again:-)

I do not recommend! Unfortunately, we encountered poor service and dirt. The dishes were not tasty. Unfortunately, it was a bad experience

Ate very badly and paid a lot. Avoid!

Friendly service, price-quality ratio is very good and as a foreigner you feel more than welcome here, even if you don't speak the language. Typical German cuisine.

Not tasty, everything takes a long time, the price is not worth those dishes. Negative from visiting

I was here and want to say that the food is tasty. I wanted to try traditional German food. The staff is friendly, smiles all the time and open for conversation. The waitress from Poland spoke my language that was nice to hear and perfect experience in Berlin.

What a disappointment We have waited more than 1 hour and 45 minutes for our meal. And the excuse was:Sorry we have a group inhouse . Unbelievable . The food we have waited for such a long time was below average i must say! Do not recommend at all ! The staff did their best but with so little staff it is not possible to manage this crowd of overbooking !

Kind of cosy and traditional German place. At our visit the staff was nice but not attentive to our group of 8 guests. The food was below average with too thin, hence dry cooked, and not crispy schnitzel, the grilled pork, sausage and meatball and potatoes were dry and probably warmed up from earlier. We had higher expectations even though the reviews were divided. Hope you will put an extra effort into it in the future.

In the top 3 chocolate cake I've ever eaten.

A traditional German restaurant, full of wonderful paintings on its walls and of course, tasty food. The schnitzel was really good and the Riesling tasted great. The atmosphere in the interior is something else, really beautiful. The service was a little bit slow, evidently due to the sheer amount of people dining at the restaurant. We were the only tourists dining among them, which means that Krombach is truly a German restaurant, frequented by the Berliners themselves.

Very good restaurant. Very generous plate and excellent meal.. Impeccable service

Rude waitress with mediocre german food

Good and friendly! Cuisine without inventiveness but with good products and a traditional spirit in a 1900 era decor. A good moment.

Friendly and motivated service, good food 👍

Birreria caratteristica con vasta scelta di birre alla spina; location bellissima. Consiglio di prenotare per evitare lunghe attese

Hey.i wanted to share my experience with all of you the environment of this restaurant is very awesome.but the food don't have any taste or maybe their cheff is too lazy too warm them..we was 4 friends and ordered food and all we received is cold bratkartofein.with suaerkrut that wasn't able to eat even...the service staff lady was unable to understand English and Dutch.she asked us like 7 times what exactly we need to eat ..first we received wrong food because we ordered something else and she understand something else she is probably from Thailand..and 2nd time we got this cold food..when the bill time came up a drunk women came to us to recive the bill i really feel this experience very bad... that's why i am sharing my experience that the owner of this restaurant should know of his stuff.thank you very much.

Nella nostra vacanza a Berlino abbiamo scelto questo ristorante per la vicinanza al nostro albergo, in Ku Damm, e per il menù consultato online. Affollato di sera, si presenta con un ambiente caratteristico e curato, con boiserie in legno scuro, mobilio di inizio ‘900, foto storiche alle pareti. Il menù ci ha offerto un’ampia gamma di piatti della tradizione gastronomica tedesca e berlinese, caratterizzati da una dignitosa preparazione e serviti con rapidità e in buone porzioni. Abbiamo gustato due Wiener Schnitzel di vitello con mirtilli rossi e insalata di patate (Wiener Schnitzel vom Kalb) e due Piatti di salsicce berlinesi con crauti e purè di patate (Berliner Würstchenteller), entrambi realizzati discretamente; nella media lo Stinco di maiale berlinese con purea di piselli, crauti, patate lesse e rafano (Schweinefilet Medaillons). Particolarmente buono e gustoso il Fegato di vitello berlinese con mele fritte, cipolle e purè di patate (Berliner Kalbsleber). Abbiamo accompagnato i piatti con due birre tradizionali tedesche, la Krombacher alla spina e un’ottima Kostritzer nera. La cena si è conclusa con un dignitoso Strudel di mele su salsa alla vaniglia (Apfelstrudel auf Vanillesauce), rum, amaro, caffè espresso. Il servizio si è rivelato la nota maggiormente positiva grazie a un cameriere molto gentile e attento che ci ha guidato nella scoperta delle diverse pietanze del menu, e nel servirle con rapidità ed efficienza. Il rapporto qualità prezzo nella media del quartiere, così come l’eccessivo costo dell’acqua minerale.

I'm really excited about our waiter with the glasses. He did everything he could to get us a table even though the restaurant was full. Despite the abundance, we received our food quickly. He always has a smile on his face and works quickly and still exudes calm. It gets 10 out of 10 stars from us.

Very tasty food, sufficient portions, friendly service. Cozy, authentic interior. Feel welcome here. Definitely recommend.

Small German restaurant with friendly service. On the spot, we ordered schnitzel with fries, but the meat was dry and presented pretty boringly without any kind of decoration in relation to the price of 26 euros.

Really very friendly and welcoming. Attentive staff The decoration is very traditional The food is delicious I highly recommend

Authentic German cuisine. Server was friendly and helpful despite us not being fluent in German. Large portion sizes & reasonable prices.

Welsh looking for German food, so delicious friendly waitress, welcoming place Best strudel 👌

Visited yesterday with my wife and had the schnitzel with potato salad, highly recommend the appfelstruddal as well . Also had a couple of German beers to help

Top service and food is amazing🤩

Basically a nice restaurant with friendly staff. But instead of the boiled potatoes I wanted the fried potatoes, which are also offered on the menu. I was actually charged 2.00 euros for this supplement change. It couldn't be more outrageous and inflexible.

Bel locale tipico in zona Ku'Damm. Scelta abbastanza varia di specialità tipiche tedesche. Prezzi un po' più cari di altri locali provati a Berlino.

I found this restaurant after arriving in Berlin and thinking, 'Let's eat German food for the first time!' The Eisbein was delicious, but a bit greasy. The schnitzel wasn't bad, but it wasn't to my taste. They said it was good for American tastes and that it was delicious. The best food was currywurst. The sausage wasn't salty (★Important★), the sauce was delicious, and the French fries were salty and crispy. I was surprised because the review said there was a lot of food. Because there seemed to be little food in the review photos. Actually, there are a lot of them. The plate was so big that it didn't show up when I took a picture. Five people went and ordered three and it was perfect. Instead, if all 5 people are hungry, you can write it down. It was a good restaurant to start with. Beer is not recommended. If you must drink it, drink dark beer. It's bland... I hope everyone can go to a delicious restaurant during their trip to Berlin, so I'm writing this in detail. :)

No adequate attitude towards Ukraine and Ukrainians

Super nice restaurant, most of the guests are Berliners - no tourist rip-off.

Outstanding place for dinner and drinks. I highly recommend it!

Typical but really good German food that seems popular with locals. Especially loved the greens, potatoes, and other sides. Service was just ok but it was likely because they were very busy. I’d certainly go back when in the area.

Tourist trap, avoid at all costs. Very pricey; hidden costs.

Horrible place, never go there!

Looking for authentic German food, we found this small restaurant not far from our hotel. Very nice, helpful staff. Food very good.

I waited 55 minutes for my food and in the end it wasn't tasty at all! Kelner and the owner are unfriendly!! Not recommendable

Such a great space and food - but please don't plonk the main course down when I am still eating the starter. Such a simple error.

The site is definitely very good. Good traditional German food and the service can't be beat. Michael, who is from Verona, could not have been nicer. We ordered goulash but I ordered it wrong. I wanted it in soup and I asked for the other one and he quickly exchanged it for us. No problem. The knuckle is also very good and Apple strudle for dessert. Good price quality too. I definitely recommend it.

Rip off on the tip!!!!We just visited this place, and beware, the lady behind the bar decides how much tip you have to leave!!! It was a rip-off!!! We arrived around 22:45 and asked if they were still serving. The lady said, “no food, but one drink.” That's all we wanted anyway, so we sat at the bar, took a few pictures, and she was rigorously cleaning while the staff were finishing their shift. We rushed our drinks to get out of their way. I didn’t even finish my drink! When we asked for the bill, it came to €11.20 or something. We mentioned we were paying cash and handed over €50. The change we received was €30!!!! I didn’t fully complain but moaned a bit, asking where the rest of it was, and she said, “thanks for the tip yeah.” Surely, the tip should be up to us, and I was ready to use the €3.50 change I had in my bag. Just disgusting! Never again. I wish I had never gone or chose to pay with my card!!

Unfortunately, our visit to this German restaurant left us with mixed feelings. Although the service was friendly and attentive, we couldn't overlook the quality of the food. Unfortunately, the dishes were overly salty and dry, which detracted from our taste experiences.

Very rustic. Both the food and the ambience. But meant in an absolutely positive way. Friendly service. Eisbein as it should be. Cold drinks. A must for anyone who likes German food. Won't be my last time. Thanks

You can get really good home cooking here. Very tasty and the portions are good. If you're in the mood for German cuisine, I can highly recommend the restaurant. Service very friendly and attentive. I will definitely go again

Good food with attentive service and there was also a meal on the house.

Service extremely friendly and accommodating. Recommended: Goulash soup, salad with beef strips (that was more like a 300g steak) were excellent
