Restaurant Maximilians Berlin in Berlin

Wow, their pork knuckle was amazing! 100% recommend getting it whole! It’s a lot but it’s sure to fill you up! I can’t recommend this place more! Their fried potatoes 😍😍😍😍

The food was truly outstanding—fresh, delicious, and prepared with love. Unfortunately, the service was a bit slow and unattentive, which is why I'm deducting a star. Still, I recommend it! 4/5 stars.

Had a great meal. Service was very friendly and petit. Asparagus was very good. Haxe Tip Top. Always happy to recommend. The Swiss with all the snow

Something delicious. For me, it's the best pork shank in my life! If you are in Berlin and want to eat tasty food, don't hesitate. I highly recommend it! Culinary orgasm!

Very well done Bavarian food. The spectacular knuckle and the very good beers.

Is a Bavarian restaurant in Berlin Mitte.

Very good modern restaurant, serving bavarian dishes. Go for pickles to enjoy with your beer whilst deciding your main course, ox cheeks top notch.

I enjoyed the food. It is awesome

Restaurant with a very good atmosphere. Good beer and good food. I recommend it.

Very nice staff and cozy atmosphere. Food was very tasty and served hot. Definitely worth a visit.

Delicious asparagus, unfortunately no homemade hollandaise, but very good Kaiserschmarrn and top service.

The hype is real! Great german food and beer. Nice staff! Highly recommended by Rob

Spacious restaurant, with very tasty food, traditional Bavarian atmosphere. Service wasn't very friendly, but wasn't rude either. Would recommend.

Good food and generous portions. Really nice staff.

I had a wonderful dinner Bavarian dinner at Maximilians Berlin. I fully recommend this place while visiting Berlin. It is important to have a reservation to eat here since I did have to wait a while to get seated. Also, it was very busy so service was not the fastest. Despite this, i really enjoyed my dinner. I tried the half Pork knuckle with dumplings. Oh my god it was amazing! I also had a local beer and a sprite. The menu looks extensive and the place offers a great selection of beers on tap. Amazing atmosphere as well. I completely recommend Maximilians restaurant in Berlin.

We ordered meatballs. Really recommend it! Great portions of food. Great service from Benny, very friendly!

Nice and relax restaurant in Berlin. Enjoyed the dinner.

Friendly welcome, quiet place, good food. We had veal meatballs with onion sauce and potato puree and an entrecote. All good. Bill a little expensive.

Incredibly delicious food and if you want a Bavarian atmosphere, you can get it here in a tourist-authentic way. Service is not only friendly but also attentive and precise.

Excellent food! Sausages with cabbage top and goulash are also very tasty 🤩

🍺 Restaurant Maximilians – Bavarian hospitality in the heart of the city! 🍺 If you're looking for a place with true Bavarian tavern charm, Maximilians is the perfect pick. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, inviting interior – dark wood paneling, copper pipes above the bar, and cozy tables that make you want to stay a while. And in the summer? Outdoor seating is a must! The food? A real feast for fans of traditional German cuisine. Hearty dishes, perfectly seasoned and served with care. The classic schnitzel, white sausage with mustard, and freshly poured beer – everything is top-notch. Generous portions and authentic flavors make it ideal for lunch, dinner, or an evening out with friends over a pint. The staff is also a big plus – quick, friendly, and always smiling. You can tell they know what they’re doing and genuinely care about creating a great atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to – whether for a comforting German meal or just to soak in that Bavarian vibe without ever leaving Berlin.

Very large restaurant with traditional German decoration, affordable prices and the beer is the best in the place.

Great restaurant if you want to try German food. My friends liked the Schweinshaxe. Can’t recommend the Käsespätzle though. The staff is really friendly and great atmosphere. Would recommend making a reservation beforehand if you don’t want to risk queuing.

Very friendly and helpful staff

Don't like the food! Look at the pictures I put...☹️

Had a meal and a few beers, staff were very friendly and the food tasty.

I was a little wary of the slightly forced bavarian theme, but the food was legitimately delicious and the staff very attentive and friendly. Great stop!

Good place for typical food... The team is very friendly. Delicious knuckle like the rest of the dishes

Typical modern and very spacious brewery restaurant. We had lunch with soup and a very good dish of the day: a kind of thin oval pizza with "gorgonzola" cheese to help you understand how it tasted with potatoes. Two unmissable blonde Kellerbier beers among a vast choice of others with various strengths and flavors.

The service is terrible!!! Especially the attitude of the female waitress. She is very impolite and inpatient to the customer, even sign in front of the costumer! Also always ignores the customer! This is unacceptable!!!!

Maximilians is very close to the office where I work - so it sometimes happens that we take a lunch break here. I recently had a vegetarian dish from the lunch menu, which was quite good. What is particularly noteworthy here is the great service. You are always welcomed in a friendly manner and jokes are made. Update March 2025: As already said - establishment near the office. So I went back and my first impression was confirmed. Great service, good food. This time I had beetroot dumplings for lunch. Was really nice!

Very nice place. Very nice service. Great dishes. A dozen (yes, a dozen beers to choose from). The price is very good for the center of Berlin. We managed to get a table on Saturday around 2 p.m. later they were all occupied. The restaurant has additional cards with painting (for children). We felt very good here, the children felt very good. We will come back here on our next trip to Berlin.

Maximilians offers a great atmosphere with traditional flair, wood paneling, friendly service and typical Bavarian food that tastes really good. The pork knuckle was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the Kaiserschmarrn for dessert was a dream! The beer from the wooden barrel was also a real highlight. We felt completely comfortable and would love to come back!

A very good place in Berlin for typical German food!! Delicious and well served, with excellent service, I recommend with my eyes closed

Food to die for! Large portions and that comfort food you all crave. We had the veal meatballs and veal schnitzel with the mash potatoes and bernaise sauce!!! WOW!

The taste is ok but the service is too bad. The service is completely barbaric. The service staff does not have the most basic training and politeness, which makes me dissatisfied with the whole area of ​​Berlin. Restaurants like this will influence customers' feelings and reviews about the place. I'm really ashamed of you for the Germans. Maybe they don't even have the awareness of being ashamed. It's so barbaric.

Typical German food, numerous varieties of beer. Cozy atmosphere and tasty food. It was very busy and there was a line but we were soon seated without having to wait long... the food was also served without much delay, however it took a little longer to clear the plates and ask for the bill.

Very nice place, great food and beer, the best sitting is inside, they have a small patio with a door to go outside for the ones that smoke.

Very good food, service was great considering how busy they were, staff super friendly and helpful fluent in English. Recommend they give more kohl mit Haxe. The roast Pork is a GF option with no gravey but it was dry. I eat here often for the Haxe.

Very nice Bavarian atmosphere with delicious food, Bavarian beer and friendly service. We had a wonderful evening.

Great food, great service and one of the best beers!

Typical restaurant, with waiters in regional clothing. Dishes with large quantities. Very extensive beer menu presented in original format, in different quantities. If you have doubts, let us advise you, as well as for the amount of food.

Quaint, popular, with fast service, good portions and pleasant atmosphere. I recommend a fruity "red" beer from the catalog (to drink with salads or fish)

....perfect service....excellent food....

If you are looking for a classic German restaurant, I definitely recommend going to this place. Excellent food, great service…

Thank you for a wonderful experience and finale in Berlin after 4 days and a half-marathon Waiting 5 minutes for a table and got a perfect table with a wonderful waiter in a maximum full restaurant. 6 adults and a small child. Food / timing / beers. Everything was perfect Thank you

Overall, highly recommended. Cozy, good beer and Bavarian specialties. Not exactly cheap but still okay in terms of price. Friendly service, good cuisine.

It couldn't be better! Music is phenomenal! Beer from a wooden barrel! I was able to enjoy a duck with Andreas Gabalier! The waitresses are great!

The waitress's treatment was unacceptable. She was unfriendly from the start. A waitress is a restaurant's ambassador. Such unpleasant treatment damages the restaurant's image.

We found the restaurant to be a very nice place: it is spacious, has a very cool interior terrace and the food is quite good. However, our experience was marred by the treatment we received from one particular waitress. We had no luck and were served by a blonde lady with glasses. We don't know if he was just having a bad day, but he was pretty rude to us: he ignored us, gave us dirty looks every time we asked for something (always politely), and was generally very unpleasant. The most curious thing is that we saw how other waiters were charming with other tables, so he was clearly an exception within the team. We understand that working in front of the public is not always easy, but if you are not in a position to respond respectfully, perhaps it would be better to play another role that day. It's a shame, because the site is really worth it, but customer service is key, and having someone who creates these types of experiences is not ideal.

Great food, service, beer and atmosphere. Priced were amazing too. Would definitely come back when I am in Berlin again.

Great place, with great food. The waiters are not so friendly. For some reason they always point you outside and not inside the place.

Respect for the workload, the hut is full, the food is great and the atmosphere is cozy Bavarian. It makes sense to reserve.

We got a table for 5 people at relatively short notice. We've been there several times and knew what it was like, but our company didn't. They were pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions and the great quality of the food. Another positive surprise was the bill! This was surprisingly low for the quality and size of the food and the location on Friedrichstrasse. We will continue to come here regularly.

You definitely have to visit it. The best knuckle in Berlin! Beer 🍺 is super tasty 😋.

Best place to experiencing german beer and pork knuckle , also wurst Great atmosphere , great service. Be back there for sure

Friendly & lovely staff Nice food and good atmosphere

Delicious food, friendly staff, reasonable price, nice atmosphere! ☺️☺️☺️

A restaurant in a stunning Bavarian atmosphere - designed and special, the waiters in traditional clothing, adds to the unique atmosphere. We started with a cheese and bagel platter that was excellent, a goulash soup that was rich and tasted great. A variety of unique beers that were all delicious. For main dishes we ordered duck and steaks - large dishes with side dishes that were very tasty. The vegetarian dish that was ordered, cheese noodles, was not successful but maybe it's personal taste, it was served with a salad that was delicious. Unfortunately, it was not possible to change the dish. For dessert - warm apple pie with ice cream - delicious!

Delight. There was a bit of a wait at the entrance, but it was worth it. Beer selection is excellent. The dishes are the same German optimum. I recommend this place.

A very good place to try German cuisine and beer. Due to its central and highly touristy location, you might think it's a typical tourist spot where the food is expensive and bad, but quite the opposite is true. The presence of locals is a guarantee that this place isn't that style. We tried the knuckle and it was delicious, and the price-performance ratio is good. Plus, they make you feel welcome and at ease even if you're not German. Highly recommended.

Yes, you can have a good, traditional meal there

This restaurant definitely deserves 5 stars! It offers an authentic Bavarian dining experience in an extraordinary setting with typical wooden decor. The menu presents an excellent selection of South German dishes. The service is remarkably friendly and attentive – a welcome change from the often negative experiences in Berlin restaurants. The staff are attentive, helpful, and speak fluent English to accommodate the many tourists. The menu is also available in multiple languages via a QR code. The food is flavorful and the portions are generous, all at a very fair price. The selection of beers and desserts is also outstanding. Additionally, the restaurant can accommodate larger groups. Wheelchair access could be challenging due to the building's layout, as could finding parking. If you want to have a truly authentic Bavarian dinner experience, this is the place to be

A restaurant with a close location to the center and serving German dishes and drinks. I like German beer, I'm glad to have you here help me get to the table because I'm alone. You should book a table before coming because the restaurant is very crowded, I had to queue for 20 minutes before getting a table. A good experience at a German restaurant. Hope you will maintain and improve the quality further in the future.

It's a very nice place, the waiters, especially Veit, are helpful, friendly and attentive. We ate snitsel and chicken, it was very delicious. But the prices are a little high

Food are great 👍 highly recommended 👌

The food is great, great quantity and variety. All very good

Serving staff genuinely smiling. You need that, if you believe you don’t, just go there. Fresh beer ? Yeap, it’s there… fresh food ? Obviously there…

The portions are large, there is also a small part for vegans and fish, I think I remember there was only one dish. Large number of types of beers.

We went for dinner and we loved it. It is very good Food and very friendly staff. The place is very well decorated and very well priced. It's a shame we discovered it on the last day because we would have returned for sure.

Surprisingly good food, nice staff, good ambience.

We ate very well. The knuckle and the goulash, very good! Well priced. I would repeat

Our first night in Berlin we enjoyed this delicious German food restaurant! We had the potato soup, bratwurst with potato and sauerkraut, and the children’s fried chicken and fries. The children’s meal wasn’t the best but the warm pretzels and other food made up for it! We made a reservation to return!

It was a pleasant surprise. Good food, good service, especially from Damir, we will be back.

Of all the large Bavarian brewery restaurants in Berlin, Maximilians has by far the best food. The customer service is also good: nice and friendly employees and from time to time also nice events with brass music and more. It is very popular among foreign tourists. Unfortunately, the prices are borderline high for Berlin conditions and for normal wallets.

Everything we ate was delicious. We ordered meatballs, Vienna schnitzel and entrecôte. They were all delicious. Especially the schnitzel salad recipe should be taken by those in Vienna :)

Nice atmosphere, really good food and fantastic beer

Nice and clean place, good food, good service, Damir took great care of us, even spoke a little Spanish! Thank you

Great food, great service, awesome vibes. Waiters are all super friendly and the food/beer feels authentic. (our friendly waiter in the photo)

Berlin restaurant with Bavarian and Austrian influences with (coincidence or not, 8 of them) some vehicles with Munich license plates in the parking spaces opposite the entrance. With a lot of luck, we got a table immediately for two people after 9:30 p.m. on January 1st without a reservation. Despite the late arrival and the kitchen closing soon, we received the warmest welcome and didn't have to stress or restrict ourselves when ordering, but after the sumptuous duck as the main course (which, by the way, we ate the two of us and were well fed), we rescheduled the Kaiserschmarrn as a dessert we had already ordered to take away at 10:30 p.m. so that the kitchen could also call it a day. The food was excellent, high quality and the price-performance ratio was absolutely fair. The packaging for the Kaiserschmarrn To Go was also really impressive. Each component in a separate packaging made of coated cardboard with a lid in a paper bag - very appetizing. Definitely recommended.

The service wasn't great because we arrived first, spent two minutes reading the menu, and then were rushed into ordering because the kitchen was closing. It was 9:30 PM and the restaurant closed at 11:30 PM. I thought it was a bit early to close the kitchen. Also, when we asked for the bill because we wanted to leave, our waiter told us to wait until he'd finished clearing the tables around us, something he could have done after charging us. The atmosphere was nice, quite busy, and the waiters were traditionally dressed. What I ordered was good, but I think it was a bit overpriced (€21) for a chicken breast that took up almost no space on the plate, along with bland vegetables. I'd say the potato and sauce on the side were quite good, but there was too much of it. I think the structure of the dish could be improved.

There is discrimination and racism in the place. The waiters and management force people to consume quickly to leave. It is not a tourist destination.

A wonderful feeling of the German mentality, precise, very friendly waiter service, delicious food and excellent beer! I recommend everyone to visit this restaurant! And advice - book your seats in advance. Good luck everyone!

The pork knuckle is delicious and the portion is huge. There is also a children's set menu. Food is served quickly and service is attentive

A wonderful discovery during our Berlin weekend. The place is welcoming, and we were seated right away. The dishes we chose were very good, as was the Kaiserschmarl! See you soon

Can't fault the food, beer or service. Spotlessly clean, very efficient, it's kind of like a bit false though? Like a chain restaurant trying to be traditional?

I am very impressed with the service and quality. I ordered a weekly dish - price-performance ratio was excellent.

I had a really bad experience at this restaurant today. The staff was cold and impatient, with no basic manners or sense of service. When I asked about the menu, they barely responded, and the food took forever to arrive. Even after reminding them multiple times, there was no real reaction. It just felt like they didn’t care about the customers at all. I was looking forward to trying the food, but with service this bad, I completely lost my appetite. Hope the restaurant improves its service, or honestly, it’s just not worth coming back.

Excellent food. Nice and clean place. Good price. Very good service. Even when paying, we said by card, and he gave us the amount that was on the account without saying anything. We had to tell him to add a tip, he canceled, and we added a tip of approximately 8-10%, taking it well. Not at all demanding as I see on other sites.

Excellent place to try typical German food. Good prices. Delicious and very crispy knuckle

Emilia Perez is more Mexican, but the cocktails are cheap 🤨🤨🤨

Typical food. The waitress guided me through my order, because the menu is in German and English, and I don't speak German or English, so you can imagine. But they were very helpful, and I had a fantastic meal.

The service was in traditional costume, the beer selection was extensive, including strong beer, and the food was excellent. We had a hearty evening. The service was fast and friendly, and there were many Bavarian specialties. The restaurant is also very suitable for groups. A clear recommendation for a pleasant beer evening.

Good service. Schnitzel was not that great but the sides are tasty. Didn't try the pork knuckles which I believe they are well known for. Good selection of beers.

It's actually a great restaurant, albeit very touristy, but it's unacceptable that there's a large sign on the entrance door stating that Diners Club credit cards are accepted, and then when paying, they say "no." Very unpleasant as a guest.

I tried one of Germany's specialties, the knuckle. The meat is of good quality, tender, and has a good consistency. In Mexico, it's very similar to a chamorro, except it's the upper part. Here, the special thing is how they make it, the skin is like pork rinds, giving it a good flavor and texture. The portion is very generous, and if you order mashed potatoes, it's delicious, with a very rich gravy. Now, coming from Mexico, a country where pork is made into carnitas, in my opinion, it lacked flavor. I'm not saying it's bad, but it needs to have that flavor in the meat to be spectacular.

Great German food, beer and experience. Highly recommend

Excellent service, beer and pork knuckle were good.

On the afternoon of 13th August 2024, I visited Restaurant Maximilians in Berlin, and unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. From 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, I encountered poor service, mediocre food, and an overall unpleasant dining experience. Firstly, the food was nothing special—the flavours were average at best, and the quality did not justify the price. What was even more concerning was that shortly after the meal, I experienced stomach discomfort, which made me question the freshness and hygiene of the food. However, the biggest issue was the terrible service. While I do not expect overly attentive service at all times, I do expect basic courtesy and professionalism, neither of which were present. The staff were unfriendly and inattentive, making us feel unwelcome throughout the meal. The worst part came at the payment stage, where one of the cashiers displayed a disrespectful attitude—both in their tone of voice and facial expressions. The dismissive and condescending manner in which we were treated was completely unacceptable. Overall, this was one of the most unpleasant restaurant experiences I have had. With poor food quality, disappointing service, and an unwelcoming atmosphere, I cannot recommend this place to anyone. There are many better options in Berlin, and I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for a more enjoyable and respectful dining experience.

Some of the best food and beer i’ve tried, the schnitzel is amazing. they have a bunch of different beer to try, it’s really nice and cozy
