Visited with some friends on a Wednesday night for some food. We'd never been before but we're familiar with Five Guys and wanted to see if it was similar. The ordering process is really easy- you can order on your phone or at a kiosk inside the restaurant. I don't remember the names of our burgers but the total (plus a small order of fries) was €17. Muuuuuch cheaper than Five Guys. It took about 15 minutes to make which was fine with us. They have a ketchup and Mayo pump in the restaurant too! Overall it was fine, the burger was good even though it's not my preferred. If you want a burger this isn't a bad place to go.
Wow. That's the review. The Cheeseburger was perfect. A soft bun, thick patty, juicy/fresh toppings. 100% recommend and at a reasonable price. I didn't get true cheese fries, so it was through UberEats, they gave me the cheese on the side. Good idea or else they'd be soggy. But, nonetheless, the entire meal hit the spot
Absolutely loved my bacon cheese with jalapeños burger. the bacon fries were very delicious! staff was pleasant and helpful. i was able to sit outside and enjoy the scenery.
I wasn't expecting this to be a gem! Cast iron shack like burger dive under a train line. The food is cranked out quickly and is delicious. There are two no frills, bohemian eating areas. One outside and one just enclosed with some heat to take the edge off. The burger patties taste like freshly ground chuck and simply seasoned. The bun is fresh and well grilled. The cheese sauce runs thickly and the other ingredients flavorful. Price is very reasonable. I am craving a return!
Excellent burgers in an awesome location. Smack dab in East Berlin's central clubbing district and situated under an elevated set of train tracks, your guaranteed to get great food in incredible ambiance at Burgermeister. Day or late night, be prepared for a line and very limited table seating. But it's ok. Trust me, it'll be worth it. The menu is cheap. The bacon cheese fries and chili cheeseburger are as good as they sound. Enjoy!
AMAZING. Best fast food burger I've legit ever had in my life. I will miss this burger in America lol
Meister burger with fries & all 3 sauces. The burger was just okay. Didn't make me love and savor every bite by any means. The fries were good.
Best burger in berlin, the meat has a gameyness to it that I love and the fries with the house mayo is some of my favorite in all of berlin!
I love cheeseburgers more than just about anyone on the entire planet, and after hearing such great things about Burgermeister, I made the trek to eat here once I arrived in Berlin. Let me tell you: the hype is real and 100% deserved. This was one of the (if not THE) best burger I have ever been served anywhere in the world. It was so great I went back to eat here twice while in the bustling German city. This place is dive-y because it's literally located in the middle of a busy street under a bridge (you'll be eating and looking out a window at cars that are whizzing by mere feet away). There's extremely limited seating so come prepared to stand up. There will be a line but it moves quickly. The employees were kind with us foreigners and they do speak English (although you'll score points if you at least try to order in German as we did). You order at the window, pay, and then get your food when it's ready. Since everything is made fresh to order, expect to wait a minimum of 15 minutes on a busy day. We had to elbow our way into a small standing room only ledge to eat our meal but it just added to the overall ambiance! I opted for a local cold beer and a classic burger with chili cheese fries. What struck me the most was the overall high quality. Europeans have better food standards than we do here in the U.S. and it shows in their food! The bun was soft and spongy with a buttery flavor, the burger tasted super beefy and fresh, and the produce toppings were top notch all around (crispy lettuce, bright red tomatoes, and sweet onions)! All of these elements combine to make one of the best burgers you'll ever eat. The fries were great too! Topped with chili, jalapenos and a melty cheese sauce, the potatoes were crispy and hot. They were also a standout. The portion size was a little small compared to the bloated American standards but they're so satisfying that ordering one to share will be plenty. They even came with cute little wooden mini forks for eating. If I had to describe the burger to Americans, think of it as a super high quality mesh between In-N-Out and SmashBurger. That's not doing the place justice, but you get the general idea. Bring stickers from your hometown if you have 'em because customers have adorned the interior with them. Don't let anyone poke fun at you for eating American style burgers while in a foreign country -- these are THAT good, take it from a burger fiend like me. I LOVE this place and can't wait to return to Berlin to eat here again!
We just finished watching a concert that ended at 11pm and me being the country bumpkin that I am from Hawaii, my concern was that maybe there weren't a lot of places open. Oh how about Burgermeister?? Uh oh they close at....4am???? WTF, this Berlin place is paradise!!! Anyway, we waited in a reasonably short line while techno played from the inside of Burgermeister and what is this, beer for 2 euros??? So my wife and I had 2 cheeseburgers and 2 French fries (one with cheese) and I had a beer which I think was the best damned 2 euro beer I've ever had. Burger was awesome, fries are awesome, and now I like eating my French fries with mayo, thank you very much. Seriously good burger here, medium and juicy with a few medium rare parts here and there. They put their lettuce tomato and onion on the bottom of the burger and the cheese on the top, why?? Because that's how it's done.
Such a great burger. We were walking in the area and saw the reviews on yelp. Headed over there and grabbed a quick lunch. We caught it right before the crowds started so the wait wasn't too bad. Funny thing is that it used to be an old Train station bathroom. Don't worry the food is excellent. Just enough grease to feel like you are getting a legit burger with great flavor. Seating is at a premium and you are sitting on metal bars with makeshift pads around them. Good mix of people were there when we were eating. Love places like that. This is a great place to grab some food.
This place was amazing! Probably one of the best fast food style burgers I have ever had. Most burger places make themselves better by providing larger pieces of meat, or making the burger giant sized to compensate for not having any way of making the burger taste better. But at Burgermeister, the size was normal, and they didn't feel a need to giant size their burger to make it better, they were able to make it good by just showcasing the best they had in the size given. The Hausmeister burger was excellent, the bun was amazing, the bacon was super delicious, the patty was really well cooked. It just all came together to be an amazing burger, at an excellent price, and in a fast food setting. I really wish we had one of these in the states, cause I'd be there all the time.

Pretty good smashed burger! I ordered the vegetarian burger with fries. It was a huge portion that was shareable with my friend. Location across Berlin with consistent quality. read more

Simply tasty burger with fries and a Coke. Everyone was super nice. Prices are incredibly fair. Seating is limited, but people move through fairly quickly. Tables are a combination of leaning and standing. Super worth checking out if you go to see the Eastside Gallery. read more

I would come all the way back to Berlin for this place. Don't let the fact that it looks like (was?) an old train station toilet keep you away, this place is well worth the visit. Get ready to stand in line though because the minute you decide to go, you'll realize...everyone else has that same idea too. It's well worth the wait. Food quality, taste, & price all get 5 stars from me! read more
My friend and I came here on a Sunday around 10pm for the "best burger in Berlin." Despite the time, there was still a 30 to 40 minute wait. This burger stand is located under a bridge with a handful of tables surrounding it. While you wait, you can purchase beers from across the street. We ordered the chili cheeseburger, chili cheese fries meister double chili cheeseburger, and regular fries. You receive a number and wait to be called. Once ready, the burger is half-wrapped in paper and standing in a cardboard container. It's top heavy - be sure it doesn't tip over like mine did. We found a table and ate. I was pretty disappointed at how dry the meat was. The sauces on my burger were the saving grace. Chili cheese fries were good but nothing special. Glad I tried but wouldn't come back. Cash only. read more
This is the best burger I have had in the Berlin area during the 5 months I've been here. What makes it so good? It is a perfect recreation of a greasy American Diner Burger! Juicy patty. Delicious. Perfect soft bun that is still strong enough to not fall apart mid way through eating. Fresh ingredients. And the meat is light, tender, and has a clean delicious flavor. . What I mean by that is, almost every burger I have had in Berlin is over formed and squeezed together like a hockey puck. Overworking the ground beef and packing it too hard will result in a dense and tough burger. This will also cause the meat to be chewy and imparts an odd flavor. The Burgermeister staff have single handedly saved the Berlin Burger reputation as far as I'm concerned. Parking can be in issue. But it's worth the search. It's located in the middle of the street. I mean that literally. It separates the opposite direction of traffic. So don't miss it. If you have a desire for a real American style diner burger, the kind you crave after you've left, this is the place for you. So bummed it took me 5 months to try it. But I'll be there again several times before I leave. Oh, and the fries are great too! Staff is friendly, helpful, accommodating. read more

Everyone loves it but is it worth it? Here's my judgment of their classic. Cheeseburger, 4,90€: Price: 0.75 Size: 0.5 Bun: 0.75 Meat: 0.75 Freshness: 0.5 Total: 3.25/5 The hype seems a bit overrated. Still, Burgermeister is a nice urban classic for after party munchies! read more
Hey, BurgerMeister is pretty darned good. It's got a very nice crispy exterior, juicy meat, and a potatoey bun with fresh veggies. Perhaps a little less cookthrough, and a more complex sauce would take it to the next level. This place is clearly a favorite amongst those living in the area, and for good reason. The service is friendly, the food comes out quick, and it's really quite good. read more

One of the best meals I had in Berlin. Super fresh, made to order burgers and fries. We came in a group of 10 and they were able to accomodate us. Prices 5/5 Taste 5/5 Location 4/5 They have all kinds of burger patties including a veggie burger! Our group got 2 veggie burgers, 5 cheeseburgers and 3 bbq bacon burgers and fries! Everyone was very happy and full. We also went super late night and was one if the only places still open. Glad we found it. read more

Closest burgers I'm gonna get to the ones back home in California. It reminded me a lot of the burgers at Five Guys. Nothing special - just a greasy, delicious patty along with some bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion, all stuffed in between two thick buns. The queue can get pretty long so beware! read more

Under the train tracks in the middle of the street is a shack that serves a very good burger. A few tables outside, mostly standing room inside. Gets busy, so be prepared to wait. Comes with ketchup and mayo. read more
This is some Five Guys/In-N-Out/Shake Shack tier burger. It was so damn good that I had it three times in 5 days. The meat was cooked perfectly, the barbecue sauce added that zing, and the bread was solid. Also, cheese fries were absolutely drenched with cheese (they don't skimp at all). It was freaking awesome. read more
I absolutely love this Burgermeister! I ordered the meisterburger, which had bacon, lettuce, onion, tomato, and a type of barbecue sauce. It came out hot and fresh! Absolutely filling and yummy; I highly recommend ordering. In addition to the burger, I ordered cheese fries. They came out crispy, hot, and full cheese! There were no disappointments with the cheese fries. The staff are super nice and respectful. The atmosphere is not our typical restaurant. Very alternative as the area is rugged and has no real seats. But, there are metal bars with pads to sit on and wooden tables that you can just stand at if you do not want to sit. Overall, this place has great burgers and fries, pleasant staff, and good vibes even with the unorthodox restaurant setting. read more

Yelp is American friendly for those who travel outside of the United States yet very limited source of Information internationally. Believe it or not my information on food finds is trip advisor or google. Burgermeister reviews on Yelp serves no justice. By far the most tastiest burger I have ever eaten. Well seasoned and cooked just right with a little pink inside and I must add very juicy. The fries were exceptional, crisp to perfection. A must place to visit if your a visiting Berlin. Check it out! read more
Well, don't need a lot of words for a review about Burgermeister...very Berlin (small take away in old men lavatory under the sbahn railway bridge), very popular (prepare to queue for at least 20min, best case scenario), very very good (definitely in my burger top 3 worldwide! Their burgers are just perfect!) and very very cheap (you can count around 4,50€ for a burger and 2,50€ for cheese fries - don't bother taking the normal ones haha). Compulsory stop when in Berlin ! read more

Mix the typical Berlin to-go "Imbiss" style with American burgers - you'll love this place. Location: Kreuzberg, Schlesisches Tor, under the elevated subway tracks. Build into an old toilet house. Yes, this used to be a public toilet. The U1 above you, the busy Schlesische Strasse left and right, and the river Spree a stone-throw away. If you don't know it by now, you're in the heart of it. Food: A small kitchen behind the to-go counter, a couple of stand-by tables - that's Burgermeister. The food though, delicious. Think In-n-Out or Habit (if you'e from Cali), just Berlin-style. My favorites are the CHILIE CHEESEBURGER (w/ jalapenos, 4 Euro) and the MEISTERBURGER (onions, mustard, bacon, bbq sauce, 4.50 Eur). And who doesn't like fries? POMMES are the regular Berlin fries, but also try the CHEESEFRIES (w/ bacon or onions) and the CHILIE CHEESEFRIES (w/ bacon, jalapenos, beef meat), which is a dish itself. Just awesome. If you're new to the city, Burgermeister should be your first stop. This is everything you'll need to know about Berlin. read more
