Tons of books, yes, you have to search a bit, but after 15 minutes I walked out with 3. and best part is they are on loan, meaning I have two months to read them and when I return them I get all my money back -€1.50 for each book. Which is great for a traveler who doesn't want to carry around a bunch of books and weight but loves to read. I can't wait to finish my books and get more.

This was my second time at Another Country; the first time we tried to visit on a Monday without…read morerealizing they were open Tuesday-Sunday. Blerg. Anyway we finally made it in tonight. The staff seemed pretty enough, as in we were greeted, given general directions on their purchasing/lending rules, then free to browse without interruption. I'd describe this store as a shitshow in the best sense of the word. I've never been in a building like this, in Germany or otherwise. The rooms were massive with 18-20 feet high ceilings and STACKED with books. The sections were categorized by fiction, crime novels, biographies and so on. In my opinion, the books were 70% basic run of the mill garage sale type books, so you really have to dig deep to find anything worthwhile. We purchased 5 books for the whopping cost of 25.50€, and if we return them we get all of our €€€€ back, minus 1.50€ per book. Not a bad deal and for this reason, I'd definitely return!

It had that taste like you get when you brush your teeth or have a mint, then have orange juice. We wife got a pesto spaghetti dish. She said it was good but too much sauce. I got the rindgoulasch. The sauce was overly tomato-ey, didn't have the nice spices and flavors that goulasch normally does here. Spätzle is spätzle, but the beef in the dish was perfect. All-in-all we spent like €25-€30, and while the setting was great, the food really wasn't worth walking back down there for.

Pretty solid All-American style burgers at a good price! The burgers here are pretty huge, served…read morein classic Americana styles. The fries here are great, the buns are crispy and pretty much everything about the burger is satisfying--but the patties themselves are kind of meh. They are crispy and juicy on the outside but kind of have a texture on the inside that feels un-fresh and filler-y. However, service here is great; some of the only outwardly friendly service I've seen in Berlin, and the burgers come out really fast.

The patties are clearly pre-formed and the weakest part of their offering, but they grill them up nice with a proper amount of char, and then ladle on the delicious toppings. Colleen C. has the right of it on ordering; you go in and order from the grill first. Don't worry about drinks or anything. They don't care. Just let them know what they need to cook up. Then grab your drinks, find a seat and wait for your order to be yelled out. Return your plates at the end (there are tiny bins scattered around) and pay by letting them know what you had, drinks and all. Burgers are cheap (3-6 EUR) and each menu option has a "baby" variant that's a bit smaller and about a Euro cheaper. Sides (fries, wedges) are 1-2 EUR and giant bottles of ketchup and mayo come gratis. The "chili-cheeseburger", which like most places in Berlin, isn't American chili but rather a *spicy* burger with jalapeños, cheese spread and a spicy red sauce. It's a tasty, gooey mess. The wedges are also pretty satisfying. If you opt for the sour cream, know that it's more like an herb cheese dip than sour cream. Still good, but different than what I was expecting. A full meal (burger, side, drink) should set you back no more than 9 EUR.

Lucky for me, this inviting little Italian / Pizza place was open and they took care of me. I ordered a wonderful fresh baked pizza with tasty toppings, and it came fast and was delicious.

Think everyone one knows what they are getting or not getting here. The thing is recently... I think they must be running some sort of pilot scheme or something here because the meals are being delivered faster and in better condition. They seen to be assembling on demand. You order, pay, get a ticket and pick it up from the next counter. I guess you could say least you will get a hot burger and fries! Having said that. My fillet o fish came piping hot... But would have been nice had the dressing been plonked dead centre like it's suppose to be! Yes I admit it. I worked at a local McDonald's when I was 15. It was a small town. Not much choice, either there or for my father... McDonald's were willing to pay! They seemed to have improved their cleanliness too! Something we were anal about at our McDonald's which I have to say there are not so good at here! Was going to give this a 3.5 but don't know how to give half points. Any hints as I've seen half stars on other reviews?

I recommend, especially on a cold day in berlin.
