Hackethal's in Berlin

Great ambiance, great service and the food was outstanding. We had the goose leg, the wurst and the pork knuckles and dessert I want to go back and try other dishes.

Really rustic shed. Tasty home-brewed beer. And my pork knuckle was also great. Clear recommendation!

Hollandpark in Berlin-Pankow is a green oasis that is perfect for relaxation and leisure activities. The well-maintained paths are ideal for walking, jogging or cycling, and the extensive meadows offer space for picnics or relaxation. The pond that has been created is particularly beautiful, exuding tranquility and providing a habitat for many animals. The playground is also a highlight for families with children. The clean surroundings and good connections make the park a popular excursion destination. Absolutely recommended for nature lovers and families!

Rustic pub with a weekly changing daily menu of around 10 dishes! Unfortunately we didn't eat there because we only looked on the website. The menu is not given there. It's best to call first. The service was outstanding! We would come again and again and then also for dinner 😉

This is a true gem in Berlin. I had traditional goose leg and my partner had veal meatballs. Both sauces were done with exceptional care with my dish being perfectly reduced. The service is carefully done. They were able to seat us at last minute but I would recommend calling or emailing to secure a reservation. Will return.

Best food I’ve had so far in Berlin. Been here for 7months and this beats everything

Really highly recommended! Are you looking for a cozy atmosphere in a bar, top food in a restaurant and a great, friendly team with many years of experience? Then you should definitely go here! An absolute original! Here we love preparing and cooking fresh products and that is reflected on the plate. Absolutely an insider tip! This was definitely not our last visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Solid home-made cuisine with really on-point service. Always happy.

Very friendly little pub-restaurant: if you want to try very good, freshly made, down-to-earth Berlin cuisine (a small, constantly updated menu on a slate board) and enjoy a fresh beer (there is Czech Pilsner and Lager, and a dark house beer), for example, should take a look. If you have an aversion to hearty food or animal products, you should leave it at home 😉

Delicious food, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. Loved it and will be back for sure!!

Fantastic food, low light atmosphere, 10 tables, quick service.

We had the most wonderful experience dining at Hackethals for dinner tonight. The father and son team who served us were lovely and welcoming. The atmosphere is very authentic and cosy. The menu is only in German and seems to change frequently, however we were made to feel very comfortable and helped with what to order by the son who spoke English perfectly. I had a goose leg with cabbage and potato dumpling. Everything was flavourful and wonderfully cooked. The in house dark lager beer was so yum! I would go back just for the beer. We also shared the apple strudel which was very nice. Everything about our experience at Hackethals was perfect - the service, the food, the beer, the atmosphere. I love that it's on a quiet street away from any main area, truely feels like a real German restaurant experience - from the perspective of a tourist. Portions are large. Very convenient to public transport, only a few minutes walk from a station. I managed to book via email and on a Tuesday night the restaurant was full so probably worth booking ahead. If you get a chance to eat here on a visit to Berlin, do it! Thank you, Hackethals!

Been coming here for years. As a Berliner in rustic, real Berlin cuisine. Highly recommended!

Extremely authentic, friendly and cozy! The German department of tourism should subsidize this lot. Niels and his father have been running the joint for 25 years - and it feels the part. The food is gloriously German. If you are lucky, you get to have shots with the crew - typical for a spot where the people love to serve you! Cheers Niels, Alex and Mina!! Hope to see you all soon again.

The best red cabbage I've ever eaten. The kitchen is magical. The service is friendly.

Excellent service, delicious food and drinks, and welcoming and cozy ambiance. Definitely will come back the next time I'll be in Berlin.

The service is excellent, the beers delicious, and the meals divine. I enjoyed Berlinier Eisbein as well as a couple of craft beers. Highly recommend. I’ll definitely visit again.

I've never eaten so well. The goose liver (€26.80) was really excellent. The (dark) house beer was excellent. Reservations are absolutely necessary as the location is small. The menu is small, seasonal and when the ingredients for a dish run out (after a few days) a new one is added to the menu.

We were looking for a "typical" place both for the atmosphere and the food and we found it! Perfect dinner, absolutely recommended

Really excellent!!!!! Very nice place. The service is very friendly and efficient, the typical dishes are delicious and the quality/price ratio is excellent. A good choice of excellent beers. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through Berlin and wanting to eat local dishes. Well done!!!!!

Spectacular, no need to say more.

Amazing food with a cozy atmosphere. Great place to get authentic German food. Service was top notch

We were staying in the hotel and wanted to go out for dinner with the family in the evening. By chance and with the help of Google we found this small restaurant (quite hidden in the residential area). The welcome was very warm and friendly (kind regards to Nils and his father). The food was very tasty and rich. (Mmmmhhhhhh nice Berliner Eisbein). If you like a good home-style meal, it's a real insider tip. We'll be back.

One of the best pieces of pork I have ever had. The mash is hiding behind the pork in the pic. Great cosy atmosphere and great service. Also very good beer!!

In an area not much frequented by tourists, this small family-run restaurant is the right choice to enjoy German cuisine. Punctual and pleasant table service, average prices

We have just eaten the most wonderful food here. The wife found it on Google as it wasn't far from where we were staying on Chausseestrasse. It's a lovely little place and we were lucky they managed to get us in straight away as we hadn't booked. Everything is in German, but if like us you aren't fluent(not even a little bit) don't be deterred, the staff are so very welcoming and friendly and they are happy to explain their menus to you, while having a laugh with you. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them. The food arrived promptly and was fabulous. We can't recommend the slow cooked venison and the veal Schnitzel enough and my son had the sausage which he thoroughly enjoyed too. The only downside is its our last evening in Berlin so we won't make it here again before going home

If you're looking for a vegan, gluten-free restaurant with a glass/steel facade and crazy fusion cuisine, you've come to the wrong place. But if you are looking for the atmosphere of a restaurant and home-style cooking with a lot of handwork, love and passion, this is the right place for you. Be sure to go and order at least 1 (better 3) of the dark beer. I have rarely drunk such good beer and eaten as well as I did here. Despite having 3 children, you were warmly welcomed and felt like you were in a village restaurant from the 80s that no longer exists. P.s.: The pork knuckle is brilliant.

Pros: - authentic cuisine; Usually decent portions - always fresh and high-quality ingredients - attentive and quick service - also seasonal options - rustic and cozy atmosphere Cons: - also against the background of the inflation-related general price increase, the price screw has been turned a little too much here (also in comparison to the relevant competition).

A lovely bar hidden away from the high street, their own brewed beer is dark and sweet. Highly recommend a visit especially if you’re staying in the area.

Amazing place for traditional German cuisine. Unlike many other places in Berlin, it’s not touristy and the dishes are true to what most grandparents would whip up for lunch with their grandchildren. Can only recommend and will definitely return

Very cozy with delicious food and friendly service. A bit expensive but ten times better than the many tourist shacks you can find here a dime a dozen.

The food and service a smooth 10/10! We'd love to come back

Wonderful place with awesome authentic food

Typical German dishes in a rustic atmosphere, father and son do it excellently...

A friendly restaurant with traditional and excellent cuisine. Adorable waiter. Not particularly expensive. An address that I highly recommend!

I read a lot of comments about this restaurant, and resolved to visit today, together with my son... after walking 30 minutes,we reached the restaurant, and it was closed... evening at 19:30 , restaurant was closed... my dears... you have to indicate in the google, that you are closed... lets imagine our reaction... especially when you are hungry...

Nothing to complain with bill of 50 euro per person . Great environment as all guests and waiters speak English as if it’s not in Germany. 3 euro extra if not using cash

Small intimate neighborhood pub. Located in a residential area, so very quiet. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Can't ask for better.

Very kind! Local German type in the menu and in the type of service.

Very good food but the best thing is definitely the service. Nice, attentive and helpful.

Incredible place and not at all touristy, which makes it an experience absolutely worth doing if you want to try typical cuisine. Lovely service, added value is the deep voice of the owner's son 🤣🤣

This little father/son neighborhood pub was our favorite find in Berlin. Our waiter was personable and the food was fresh and it was evident how much love and care went into making it. Absolutely will be back the next time we are in Berlin. Thank you so much!!!!

Don’t understand why this place is rated highly. Food tastes like out a packet. Waiter wouldn’t allow us tap water despite us ordering a bottle of wine.

Was lucky enough to bump into this gem of a restaurant during my recent stay in Berlin. Went with my colleague for dinner and we both loved it so much that we came back the next two nights. Between the amazing food (the best wienerschnitzel I've ever had), the super friendly and kind staff and the incredible locally-brewed beer, it's a must visit for anyone looking for great food made by great people. As I told the staff when we said our goodbyes over a complimentary shot in the last evening, they are in the happiness business, because it's impossible not to leave this place with a smile on your face. To the owners and staff, I wish you all the best, and hope to return. Danke für alles!

Incredible food. Great atmosphere. Superb and friendly staff.

We had the pork and veal. Veal could have been more tender but was good nonetheless, the sauce and cabbage did help it. Pork knuckle dish was very good. What is driving me to write down this review is the amazing service we got from NIELS who couldn't have done more for us. Great chatty guy. Impeccable service! Really knowledgeable and passionate about the food, great upselling skills without overdoing it. Our glasses were always full. Great recommendations for our stay in the city and at the end we even had a cheeky Berliner luft shot with him.

Real Berlin restaurant, but rather touristy in terms of visitors and prices. Delicious home cooking and very nice staff.

The staff is friendly The menu was a little hard to read, but the food was delicious.

We both came and got goulash as we previously had it else where and loved it. This was no exception was really lovely. The other options sounded good too. Staff were really friendly read and translated the menu for us without a problem. Can really rate this place!

Nothing will be able to replace the emotions that pervaded us when the kind and familiar hands of the waiter handed us the pork shank, washed down with the best special beer that an earthly man has ever tried, we tasted it and... Oh joy, Oh joy, the sublime cooking it let the tender flesh melt on our tongues, regenerating our tired limbs.

Really typical old style German tavern. The food was packed of flavour, and the portions was generous too. Really recommend

Meals are overpriced and nothing special. Especially the vegetarian meals are a rip-off. 18,60 for pasta with a fatty mushroom sauce. Service is really bad. There is an older guy and a younger guy who run this place. The older guy is a typical embittered German with no sense of humor. When I walked up to him and wanted to pay he almost yelled at me “STOP” as if I was going to intrude into the kitchen area. Extremely weird and not something you would expect for a place that has a 4,7 star rating on Google. My feeling is that management has become a little complacent because a lot of tourist guides mention the place for the excellent German cuisine. Also, the €3 charge for credit card payments is just preposterous.

After a long day around Berlin we managed to find this amazing place. Amazing people and food and beer were amazing

Phenomenonal food, beer, and service.

A typical Berlin restaurant a few steps from the Mitte district. I confirm that it was the best culinary experience in the German capital

Super tasty authentic Berlin dishes. ☺️👏🏻

We found this place by searching for typical non-touristy Berlin places on Google, and we were already impressed by the photos. Going there was a confirmation: we ate divinely and were immediately welcomed very well. The owners, father and son, are super nice and friendly. The boy who served us, in addition to being very knowledgeable, was super helpful in explaining many things to us both about the dishes and the local habits. Among the various beers on the menu, I highly recommend the Hackethal Lager, which is produced exclusively for their restaurant. Really recommended!

Menu in English 8 Aug 2024: 1. Beef Stew with Sauce, Red Cabbage, Thuringian Dumplings Price: 28.70 2. Swabian Noodles (Spätzle), Mixed Salad Price: 18.60 3. 2 Thuringian Sausages, Sauerkraut Price: 18.90 4. Cured Pork (Kasseler), Pea Puree, Sauerkraut, Mashed Potatoes Price: 19.20 5.

Well eaten, but rather salty addition. Be careful, ask for prices carefully so as not to be surprised. A word to the wise, hello.😉

My partner and I came here for dinner for an authentic German food experience and it was exactly what we got and more! The service was friendly and kind, the waiter explained the food menu in English and in such detail that every meal sounded delicious. We went for the slow cooked veal in red wine and port and the home made meatballs, both dishes were absolutely mouth watering and devoured quickly. They also brew their own beer! The food came out fast and we were so satisfied with every part of our experience. I cannot recommend this place enough if you are ever in Berlin. Thank you to everyone that made our dining experience so wonderful.

Original Berliner Schnautze.. Wonderful, delicious food and good beer..

Waiter was awesome and came frequently to check up. I got the venison (with sauerkraut and the potato side) - tender, incredible and dark gravy, would order again - and the Hackenthal lager, which was the true star if you like beer. Loved it!

The menu is unreadable, the prices are too high for the quality and it's always full of tourists who can't seem to find better cuisine.

Amazing food service. First, when I got there, I was lucky enough to find a parking place. Parking is very convenient, there are parking infront of the restaurant, or on the left or right. The place is decorated a lot! It looks like a pub! Very interesting! You can seat down inside or outside, I chose outside. As soon as you sat down staff came very quick, with a big smile. Which made the service so much better. Staff made sure everything is alright. I ordered my food with my family, three delicious meals! Unfortunately, I forgot the names of the food!😂😅 Very quick food service, and delicious. Really recommend this place! I would come here again!

Great german food and the service is excellent. My only mention is the prices are a bit higher then expected otherwise you will love this place.

They don't have a set menu apparently, it is just whatever the specials are for the day. So at first I was disappointed because I had my heart set on hähnchen schnitzel today. But I tried one of the specials, the pork sausage with mashed potatoes, and it was amazing and perfect. All of the staff there were so nice and our waitress was amazing. I would absolutely go back there, even though the menu changes, and there are a lot of things that sadly I cannot eat. Wonderful place. Portions were very huge too. Also good for tourists; I can speak German and understand it, but they spoke English too so if you have any questions, even as a tourist you will be fine. You could tell the locals love it too though, which is always a plus.

A cosy restaurant with german food made with love and nice open people running the place. Not the cheapest but it really worth it.

As a solo traveller, it’s a great, welcoming place if you’re after traditional German food. Homemade lager was superb, Bratwurst, sauerkraut and apple strudel dessert were delicious. I’ll be here again when next in Berlin!

Amazing service and delicious food

This restaurant gave me and my family the best dining experience I have ever had in Europe. This restaurant offers an authentic German dining experience. I had a pork dish that was wonderful. My family also all enjoyed their food. The father and son who ran the place were exceptionally kind . If you live in Berlin or ever visit, try this restaurant.

Easily the best German food in Berlin! The house lager is sublime, we both had the sausage with sauerkraut (the best we’ve ever had), mash potato and mustard…oh my what a wonderful meal! The staff are very welcoming and kindly translated the menu to English for us! The apple strudel was amazing and loved the Berliner schnapps! 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Berlin. Dankeschen!

Delicious food and nice service

Absolutely amazing place. Their house beer is one of the best beers I've ever had. The food is delicious and comforting. It's family-owned and operated, and you can feel it through the great service and attention to detail.

My best Berlin restaurant out the few I tried. Nice atmosphere, little brasserie type, service is great, staff is helping with the dishes, and even found me an option to add sauages to my main dish ! Typical german cuisine. They have a black lager beer you should try, they served it only here.

Really good food and super service!

Very tasty food and friendly staff. The food comes out quickly too. Our home-brewed beer is smooth and slightly sweet. If I lived in Berlin, this is the kind of restaurant I would visit often.

A great local pub serving traditional German meals and their own brew of lager. Food and beer were delicious. The service was top notch. Highly recommend

It was scents! Really great restaurant feeling. Food was fantastic. The Hackethal Lager beer on tap was also very good for me as a non-beer drinker

Thank you for the great start to the Pentecost weekend! Berlin pub: Hospitality - honest, authentic, friendly, really delicious food and beer.

The food was wonderful and we received great service from both our server and the new trainee. The older man, who I assume is the manager, was very impatient and rude with us when we first arrived, but our server quickly remedied the mood with his friendly demeanor.

Thank you for the lovely evening, the great food and the courteous service. A must for fans of authentic, freshly cooked Berlin cuisine!

Amazing little place. Outstanding service and great food. The people are passionate and very kind, their recommendations were spot on!

Rustic, cozy, honestly good. The food. is very good. A chalkboard shows the menu. Perfect for nice hours

Super tasty traditional German cuisine. You can taste the love they put into the dishes. They serve their own brewed beer. Very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Authentic German food in an authentic atmosphere. In my opinion, a must for anyone who loves good, no-frills hazs-made food. Are you in Berlin? Then I had to go!

Typical Berlin food. We ate at their place twice and everything is excellent, from malt to dessert. Special mention for Hackethal's beer which is delicious. Excellent value for money and lovely servers. I highly recommend

Typical local cuisine restaurant, upon our arrival we were kindly welcomed by the staff who recommended their cordon bleu and homemade meatballs accompanied by a very tasty and slightly spicy similar peperonata. Exceptional beer. Recommended for those looking for a typical place

Thank you for a wonderful evening. Even though we had 8 people unannounced, we still found space. Super tasty black beer and only homemade food, it's nice that something like that still exists. We are already looking forward to the next visit 👍

We've been at Hackethal's just by chance and we found a warm and kind atmosphere. Chef Frank and his son Niels were very friendly to us (a group of 5 italian guys), they were about to close the kitchen but they accommodated a complete dinner for us. The food was delicious! They offered us a dish of slowly-cooked deer meat, served with a particular sauce, strudels as a dessert, and a pint of an incredible dark beer. It's a genuine local german bar you will never find in a touristy area. Besides, what really surprised us was how Frank and Niels welcomed us, they've been so friendly to us from the very first minute we got inside. They also offered us a shot of vodka as we were friends since ages. The price was quite reasonable for such a good service. It's truly recommended!

Genuine place, great food and amazing beer. I will come back if in Berlin again

Fun & friendly place with good food and lovely in-house beer. The warmth of the place, food and people stayed with us long after we had left

So cozy, so authentic, so delicious! Highly recommend! We had the sausage and some wine, it was so great. The waiter actually explained the meal options in great detail. Super fast! I will definitely be coming back in the near future. :)

The food is excellent (the portions are also large) and the father-son duo is unbeatable. The historical facility has a very special charm! If I didn't live in Munich, this would definitely be my favorite place!!! Keep it up and keep this great piece of jewelry!

Rustic, cozy and incredibly tasty. A real original!

My son and I had two enjoyable experiences here. We came in late on a Monday after the kitchen was closed. We had had a good but tiring day touring by car and the owner and his son were very kind to a confused American and his teenage son. Our second visit was more relaxed and we enjoyed the spätzle, pig's knuckle, and their excellent lager. The apple strudel was a nice finish. The food is very good, the atmosphere is great, and the owners are wonderful. This was a great part of our visit to Berlin. We had the good fortune to return to Berlin this March. Of course, we went back to Hackethals (three times). The food is outstanding - excellent German standards perfectly prepared with their unique flair. Each visit, we tried different things from their weekly menu and each dish was superb. The old neighborhood pub atmosphere is very nice, and Frank and Nils are friendly hosts. I do not know when I will get to return to Berlin, but if I were there for only one evening, I would spend it at Hackethals.

Really nice, rustic restaurant, authentic and owner-managed, delicious food We recommend!

We have been visiting Berlin for a week and before leaving we tried this place. They treated us great, both the father and the son, explaining in detail the beers and each dish on the menu (which reads regular). Very nice and very good atmosphere. In addition, the food is typical and very top. The beef dish is probably the best we've had since we've been here.

Perfect place for experiencing local food and tasting their own brewed beer. When you find a place where food meniu consists of 5 dishes, you know it will be good. And the beer was fantastic! Highly recommended 👌

Cosy atmosphere, top quality & authentic German cuisine, and Nils the guy that took our order is so cool and friendly. 100% recommend!

Such kind of experience this place. The service was brilliant, they are very dedicated to each customer. The atmosphere is superb, and of course, the dishes are delightfully succulents. They have their brewery and the lager German beer was great. Strongly recommended 💯
