Joes Wirtshaus Restaurant in Berlin - Deutsche Küche - Mittagessen & Business Lunch in Berlin

The business lunch in Joe's Wirtshaus is simply great, a delicious meal with changing dishes at an unbeatable price. The waitresses are all nice and very friendly. I am always very satisfied. A great lunch.

The food is fine but the waiter was incredible. How can you be so unfriendly all the time? We wanted to order: Well, finally found something or can I leave again? Then the next situation: we wanted a dessert after dinner (note, there were 10 of us) and when we asked “Excuse me, may I disturb you for a moment,” the waiter responded with a loud “No.” But the payment was the worst: you don't pay by card, I only get cash...it's funny that the other waitress did it. When there was no tip, the waiter pointed out that a waiter lives on tips and otherwise we don't need to come back. So never again!!!

Cozy, fair prices, very friendly service

Very good, rustic food at fair prices.

Children's meals are not on the menu. You have to ask for it 💁. Had the veal schnitzel twice. Unfortunately it wasn't fried nicely brown, and there was far too much breading for the wafer-thin schnitzel (3mm thick at most). Not necessarily worth the price. I would rather celebrate my birthday somewhere else in the future 🤷

A good place for lunch break. Food is delicious. If it's busy, you need some time.

Superduper meals and dessert and very friendly staff. It's a cozy restaurant with a lot of interesting features. The only downside was the noise. It was hard to talk and listen. The restaurant was almost full when we came and after a while people left and it was a bit less noisy.

German cuisine. The Jägerschnitzel was excellent! The service was quick and friendly! Absolutely recommended, especially if you want to have dinner or something to drink before the voles 😉

Online reservation worked wonderfully, but the rustic restaurant was not particularly clean or well-maintained. Christmas decorations probably still depend. (before) last year, for Next Christmas is still too early for decoration. Everything is very dusty, stamens have been hanging for a very, very long time, including on the Christmas decorations! Glasses were dirty, still stained with lipstick! Food is okay and tasted good, but the overall impression of the restaurant doesn't make a better rating possible.

Very good food, friendly service

Down-to-earth food at a good price

Very good place to eat a propre german meal. Price are correct, friendly staff, and the strudle IS delicious.

Classic West Berlin tavern. Maybe a little outdated. Fabulous prices, home-style food, good beer and very friendly and quick service. Guest heart, what more do you want?

Had a company party there. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly.

There are good lunch options here. The service was nice and the food was good

A very nice restaurant with a good menu, not too big and not too small. Very nice, friendly waitress.

Home-style Berlin pub, very rustic home-style food, the service is very friendly

Great introduction to visiting voles. Friendly service and good food.

I can't understand the bad reviews. We were here for the first time. At 6:30 p.m. the store was full. We received great and warm service. The food was good. The roast had a bit too much mustard on it. The duck and meatloaf with chanterelles were great. We will definitely come back.

The food goes like this. The waiter is really completely inedible. Rude, zero hospitality. Our question about the map was one question too many. Anyone who has such waiters no longer needs enemies. Creepy! Never again!

Super tasty, very friendly staff.

When I'm in Berlin, I go to the best restaurant in Berlin. My favorites are the beef roulades and the goulash soup. I'm looking forward to next time.

Finally one of the few local ones with German food. Reasonable prices, tasty dishes and cozy.

A good restaurant with nice service and delicious food. 😋 Full plates that make you happy. Just the right thing before visiting the voles.

Underground! If it were possible....negative stars! We consciously chose a regional/local restaurant and not the "chain" next door. And we were really looking forward to the chanterelles! A mistake! The service consisted of a single lady - who could only do so much for our poor rating... and a (presumably) temporary helper who appeared every now and then. At first we just placed a drink order - after about 20 minutes the waitress asked: that was 1 Coke for you, right? We ordered water and beer! We still haven't received the drinks after 45 minutes of waiting. It was around 3 p.m. and the number of guests was really manageable. And other guests who arrived after us, guests behind us, suddenly got their drinks before us! Eye contact with the waitress was not possible...and calling loudly after them is not our etiquette. In between, the awning was retracted - for whatever reason - and old leaves rained down on us... well, luckily it couldn't fall into the drink - because we still hadn't had that... Then the (presumed) boss showed up. Instead of helping out, she probably thought it was more important to take a “smart” look at the area. When she finally "served" our neighbor guest her food - in plain language: she slammed the plate in front of the woman without any comment! No: Enjoy your meal and apologize for having to wait so long (the lady also had to wait about 40 minutes for a schnitzel with salad!) By now our patience and forbearance had finally run out! When the supposed boss came to us and told us rather unkindly: you can't sit here, the table is reserved! Without alternatives, we're sorry...or another kind word! Then it was finally over - we got up and left! And they were extremely friendly, courteous and quick! Served at the Block House next door! Top service, good food - that's how it works!

We had a late lunch here on September 14th, 2024. Timewise 3:00 p.m. The restaurant wasn't really full and the occupancy was really low. The staff was simply not service-oriented and, in our opinion, completely overwhelmed. Waiting half an hour for your drink with an estimated 25 people present is unacceptable for a restaurant, at least if you see the guests present and not all of them ordered at the same time. The kitchen and the food, however, were good. There is no reason for us to complain here. As I said, the only reason for criticism is the service. It is essential to work on coordination here. It felt like the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. So we only give an average rating. Which is actually a shame. The location itself is great and really has potential. Maybe we were there at the wrong time. However, I have to say that when you're open, the quality has to be consistent regardless of the time.

Food was good...nothing more, nothing less

We were there with a group of 10 people and had a reservation. The service took the first order of food and drinks in a friendly manner, after which he was only seen in the distance. Other guests arrived later but received their food much earlier. After 75 minutes we finally received our first food, it was mostly schnitzel. Three meals were served with wrong side dishes and still not right on the second attempt. When asked, the service became a bit unfriendly. I enjoyed the food but another visit is out of the question for now.

Great store. Food is great, German cuisine, dumplings, schnitzel, chanterelles, liver, everything you need. Delicious. Operation is original. Great people

Super tasty, lunch offer can't be topped, beer is a bit more expensive, but all in all highly recommended... that's why it can be difficult to get a seat 🤷

Food was ok. Service was unfriendly. It was pointed out that there was a shortage of staff due to illness, which is completely fine, but it is difficult to treat the guest unfriendly. You can only give a tip in cash, which was announced by the staff. If you don't have one with you because you've arrived in the 21st century, you'll be bullied for it...

Went there for a quick beer and didn't eat anything.

Disastrous service, no customer focus. You can cope with the miserably long waits for the waitress. The tea was so old that it only tasted like water. It took some convincing to ask the waitress to take the tea back. Then the boss came and brought the cup back with the explanation that it had to be that way 😅 an absolute impudence when the owners made a stupid comment against us as we passed by. To enjoy it you have to be able to suffer.

We went for dinner yesterday,outside seating was full so went inside which was almost empty.Only two members of staff serving and we had to wait an hour for our meal.Meal was okay.There was no atmosphere at all and not a happy experience for us.Would we go back,absolutely not.

Super friendly and competent service. Nice terrace, rustic interior. German cuisine, Köpi and Kellerbier, classics such as Königsberger Klopse, Jägerschitzel and much more. Great for the voles.

9:00 p.m had called specifically... Now we will receive with the words we conclude

Glasses dirty and Campari not recommended…. After asking for the bill twice, it was completely ignored the third time she asked, she brought it and wanted to pocket the change herself and that's not possible as a service staff

Super delicious, when it comes to German cuisine, I don't go anywhere else!

I had ordered takeaway. Unfortunately, the wrong (more expensive) food was packaged and I only noticed and complained shortly after paying. The lady was very rude and had no idea how we could solve this or refund me the overpaid amount. On the contrary: I was informed that I was delaying them with my complaint. What a disgrace! We eat here often and are happy to recommend it to customers. Probably not anymore.

They didn't want to sell me the lunch menu even though it was advertised for an hour. It wasn't all but "only at full price". Then you can't apply until 5:00 p.m. if you don't feel like serving until 5:00 p.m. It was the first and last visit.

The pasta with sheep's cheese was floating in oil and was overcooked.

The drinks were good and the service was great

I had forgotten that there was a restaurant here with German cuisine and a wonderfully beautiful interior with old advertising signs, a small library and a seating area with a table in the middle for 4 people, all in dark brown and with leather seats. A waitress manages to bring the drinks from the counter to the table outside, bring the food halfway across the restaurant and still collect the money. For lunch there is a weekly menu, dish for €8.90 (also on weekends), which you can take with you for the next few days. There are quite a few regular guests here.

Ate Wiener Schnitzel Joes yesterday. As always, very excellent. The service is very friendly, and I don't really care whether it's served on a tray or not.

The atmosphere in the house is very cozy and rustic, but the beer garden is rather dreary. Staff friendly, but unprofessional (drinks served without a tray), not possible! Food is average, large portions. Unfortunately the schnitzels come out of the deep fryer. Overall 2.5 stars.

Very attentive, nice staff and delicious food at reasonable prices.

Price-performance is very good. Food was very tasty and the staff was friendly. Lovely again.

The schnitzel day was a complete success, full & happy. Gladly again.

Die junge Kellnerin ist sehr freundlich, sympathisch und zuvorkommend. Die Kellner sind unfreundlich, kurz angebunden und knallen die Teller auf den Tisch ohne den Gast eines Blickes zu würdigen. Das Essen ist lieblos angerichtet. Die Serviettenknödel sind braun, als wären sie aufgewärmt, die Tagliatelle ohne Gewürz.

Mixture of beer pub and restaurant in a prime location on Theo. Very comfortable furnishings that will definitely entice you to stay seated for a longer period of time. Shady summer terrace. Classic pub menu with schnitzels, grilled dishes, etc. The menu is supplemented by seasonal dishes. There is also a cheap pub plate every day. The quality of the food is solid, although some dishes and side dishes use ready-made products. In any case, the portions are plentiful. There are clearly not enough staff, which leads to longer waiting times, especially when ordering drinks. Lots of older West Berlin regulars. The pricing is fair.

Nice place , good choice of food, what we both had was good. Service not great.

Great food and good cold beer. We had Gulash soup, rumpstake and wurst, all good and generous servings. The service is great, very friendly and helpful staff

Contrary to some opinions here, the schnitzel today was not very breaded, so it was delicious!

Food is very good, but the service staff is overwhelmed. We were only visited three times in three hours, the first round of drinks lasted over thirty minutes (a bottle of water and two draft beers). When we checked out we acknowledged the service with a 5% tip, then the waitress rolled his eyes.

I was there this afternoon. It was the European Championship game between the Netherlands and Turkey. And it was disgusting to see that the waiter wiped his forehead with the tea towel while drying the cutlery. He also dropped a knife on the floor while clearing away and picked it up and put it with the knives that were put back on the table.

Typical German cuisine. Very friendly staff and service. Easy to reach and close to the Olympia stadium and Subway.

Food delicious, girl cyclists to the point and friendly service

We went to Joe's tavern today and were very impressed. The food (veal liver and meatloaf) was very tasty and the non-alcoholic Alster was also tasty. The Kaiserschmarrn and the Williams pear at the end were also delicious. The staff, especially our waiter and his colleague at the counter, were extremely pleasant and attentive. We also found the entire atmosphere great, we will definitely come back.

It's all ok. Nice waiter, good food, affordable prices.

Very friendly, in the old Berlin way. Very good location for the trade fair. Very good food 👍

Very large portions. Delicious. The service seemed a bit stressed and artificially friendly.

Quick detour for a delicious Paulaner wheat beer. Nice service, central location, great indoor and outdoor seating.

Nice service and delicious food

My husband and I had the Rages dish, skirt steak with vegetables, herb butter and fries, for €8.90. The food was good, but very little. For me as an older lady, it was enough, my husband wasn't full. You have to bring your time, because with that price it is of course full. You can sit outside and that's nice given the weather.

The food tasted very good and was homemade (schnitzel and spare ribs). Would come here again

The last few times it's always said that the kitchen is understaffed and you can't even get any soup! You then wait up to 60 minutes for the food!!! And that was the second time now. A PITY!

A quaint, great restaurant. The food here is simply great and the service makes you feel like a regular.

Very nice staff who will leave you with fond memories of your visit

Great food, very attractive shop The service, well But we will go again

Soooo delicious food!!!! I really celebrate the service, Berliner Schnauze! Price-wise totally okay. Great ambience. Definitely try it out!

We had the veal liver and daily special steak with fries, green beans and Kaiserschmarrn. Everything was super tasty, seasoned just right. Steak tender, sufficient size, liver as well, mashed with pieces (as it should be for me/us), good onions (I've already experienced 2-3 "strips" elsewhere). Kaiserschmarrn warm and delicious, with great plum compote. Prices for all dishes are totally acceptable. And the service was very friendly, despite the occasional stress due to the large number of guests at lunchtime. Stress may be acceptable for staff at peak times, but we all do! need service and if you still smile, jackpot. No restaurants without service! Some restaurant goers should think about this and rethink their behavior including tipping....! Can only recommend the restaurant!!!

I like to use the daily specials there...

Delicious food, reasonable prices, friendly service

A quaint German inn. The service was very quick and always had fun. This was my first asparagus of the season, I loved it and the Wiener Schnitzel was really good!

The visit to this restaurant was very disappointing. The employee was rude and unprofessional. Despite our presence, she seemed to be skillfully ignoring us. After 15 minutes we decided to leave. Fortunately, there are very good alternatives in the area. One star for nothing is still too much.

First day, no chef there, so no more guests are being accepted. Second attempt, no staff there to change barrels, nothing to drink in sight! Hopelessly overworked staff. So... I have no idea what it would have been like.

Great place with great service. Delicious food and fast service. Sitting on the terrace and savoring German dishes is a must 😆 (I especially liked the dish: fried potatoes with meat medallions and mushrooms) And most importantly: the prices are pleasantly surprising!

Quaint inn with very friendly service and delicious food. Clear recommendation...keep it up

Staff is quick and friendly. The food is rich and very tasty. Rustic brewery atmosphere, very nice.

Unfortunately, the food (meatloaf) was not edible and served with a ready-made sauce. The 1 star I give for the mashed potatoes is obviously not a finished product. The service was hard but that was it. The waiting times were very long, even though the restaurant was moderately busy.

Were there with a larger group (25 people). Everything was great beforehand. The operation was also extremely uncomplicated and tried hard. Unfortunately, she and the kitchen were completely overwhelmed. It took forever until all the drinks and later dishes were taken - later some dishes were forgotten or mixed up - and not served at the same time. The worst thing was that for most guests, some of the food was cold (e.g. potatoes, etc.) and it was not served on warm or hot dishes. The quality of the food...well...certainly not that easy due to the very large menu. But for the price level, the overall experience was unfortunately very disappointing. Lack of staff cannot be an excuse here. We won't be coming back :-(

A total disappointment! We knew this restaurant from a previous company meeting - afterward the impression remained unimpressed but correct. This time, dictated by a craving, we decided to visit the restaurant and eat Viennese-style schnitzel. The schnitzel was served in two small pieces and the topping was pale, the breaded layer was soaked in fat and fell away from the meat. The taste of the meat itself and its quality were very questionable and tasted very bad. The fried potatoes were soft and not very tasty, although they looked spicy brown, the only thing that tasted good was the potato salad ;-) We didn't want to pick on you, but when the waitress asked if everything tasted good - we decided to say that the dishes were simply inedible and of questionably poor quality. The waitress was very nice, took our plates and admitted herself that our schnitzels did indeed look strange and pale, but unfortunately she can't cancel the bill, so she offered us a dessert - to kill the taste, we decided us finally for a coffee ;-) The coffee was very good ;-) we think that if the staff themselves admit that the schnitzel doesn't look like it "should", we should get a decent dish - but we have the coffee drank and decided that we will never come here again ;-) We regularly visit restaurants in our district and know their cuisine quite well. A failed visit to a restaurant is not a tragedy for us, but a visit to a restaurant should be a rather pleasant experience ;-) This time we simply ate at home after the visit.

Delicious food and friendly staff. A really fair price-performance ratio. Again any time.

very nice quaint restaurant, will come back...

Always worth a visit to Berlin.

Super friendly staff. The food wasn't my cup of tea, but it was filling. Hardly seasoned and the broccoli was way too hard. Nice atmosphere and toilets with 80s charm. Will definitely come again.

Many of the reviews here say that it is rustic or "Berlin-like" and that leaves us at a loss: you are greeted with a view to the right behind the bar, untidy and crowded, the first impression is not good. The fact that the Christmas decorations are hanging dusty from the ceiling in mid-April also doesn't make a good impression. The hygiene leaves a lot to be desired (dirty glass, cobwebs). For food: The weekly menu promised "Grilled French corn-fed chicken breast with spicy herb jus, snow peas, Broccoli, cherry tomatoes and potato croquettes". The vegetables were bland, the tomatoes, which might have given the whole thing some freshness, were completely missing. Herb jus? The corn-fed chicken was juicy and okay. However, the "gravy" that was served with it - absolutely oversalted and... In the end, it was no longer edible. "It just has a buzz," says the waiter when he politely remarked that the chef was probably in love...yes, I still had the boom on my tongue hours later, thank you very much. And then there were fried potatoes! Prepared and reheated, zero crispy. There is no joy there! If you don't like dessert or a nightcap after using the toilet - who can blame you? The view of the scullery and the kitchen island denies you anything. But hey, it's just Berlin. Um no, but no thanks!

Whether it's homemade beef roulade or pork or veal schnitzel, here you'll find home-style cooking at reasonable prices and friendly service. The dishes are unbeatably affordable as a lunch menu, which is also offered on Saturdays and Sundays.

Good portions, great service and reasonable prices. You can always go there.

Unfortunately the reception was not very friendly. However, the food was very good and highly recommended.

Ate here with a colleague, the waiter was quite disappointed during payment. We wanted to tip, but he said we couldn't do so by paying by card. Food was fine, nothing special.

Delicious food, very friendly conditions. As a Berliner, you don't actually want to recommend this, otherwise you'll have a hard time getting a place.

Great lunch offers. Unfortunately only one waitress, even though the house is full.

Delicious German cuisine. Delicious beer. Nice service. Priced okay. Gladly again. A meal had to be chosen again. Therefore only four stars.

Good food and drink right on Theodor Heusplatz opposite the former RIAS Berlin. Staff really Berliners.

Unfortunately today the asparagus was absolutely not edible because it was only half cooked. The hollandaise sauce was cold and tasted a lot like mayonnaise.... (probably more like bagged food) unfortunately double thumbs today 👎

Nice place, nice service, delicious food, I highly recommend it. Short waiting time for food

Ate there deliciously and sat well. When we arrived it was packed and the service was very attentive. The emptier it got, the slower the service was (15 minutes before empty plates, even though there were only 5-10 guests in the restaurant.

Nice atmosphere with good German cuisine. Service was quick and very friendly, prices weren't too high.

The best schnitzels we've ever had! Great restaurant with a really nice team and incredibly good schnitzels. My children asked me to give a 5-star review straight away. That's always a very good sign :-) Huge portion that tasted really great at a great price. What more do you want. The service staff are really nice and the Zwickel is on tap and tastes delicious... We will definitely come back when we are in Berlin again!
