More American than German but don't hold that against her. Huge portions, good food, and beer! When in Rome! (So to speak) Schnitzel was good but a little dry. Used some of my coworkers left over mushroom gravy and that pushed it over the edge. Choose the gravy if you order the schnitzel. Fries were INCREDIBLE. I've never had these cut of fries in Germany and very few places in the States. More of a peeled, corn chip shape, than a traditional fry. Great cook on them and I ate all of them! (Burp). A must stop at least once when in Berlin.

We came here after having been turned away by an Indonesian restaurant that was "full for the night". We are so glad that fate brought us here instead of that Indonesian restaurant!! What were we even thinking anyway -- forget the Indonesian food, get the local specialities!! Ordered the schnitzel as well as the meatballs and both were executed perfectly. Schnitzel was hot and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside -- not overly salty either. Meatballs were juicy and packed with flavor from the minced onions that they had mixed in. The beer (we ordered a Pilsner) was the best that we had tried in all of the Berlin and Dresden restaurants that we visited. I believe it is from some small private brewery affiliated with the restaurant somehow. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right, so definitely order the house beer. Super cozy seating (you'll probably be sharing a table with other guests) and packed all night long but amazing vibes and casual comfort food. Would come back if I ever visit Berlin again!

We tried to go to a nearby Greek place but they were full and kind of rude too. We walked over here and the place was empty at 6:30 pm so a bit worried. No need.

Weder waren die von mir ob des Aussehens erwarteten Röstaromen vorhanden, noch war das Fleisch und Gemüse gewürzt. Ich war enttäuscht. Hinweise zur Mindermenge Spargel wurden ignoriert.

One thing to keep in mind if you're American is that you have to flag someone down to get your bill. This is not specific to this restaurant but it is true of most restaurants in Germany.

We ordered the schnitzel and the bratwurst, which came with cabbage and potato salad, and paired everything with a Berliner Kindl and a Pilsner. The schnitzel was fantastic--crispy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor--while the bratwurst was equally delicious. The cabbage and potato salad complemented the sausage beautifully, and I found myself piling both onto my schnitzel because they were that good! The true star of the evening, however, was the apple strudel. Freshly made, perfectly sweet, and easily the best apple strudel I had in Berlin. We had a reservation, which I'd recommend since the restaurant filled up quickly during dinner service. The service was fast, friendly, and the staff spoke excellent English, making the experience easy and welcoming for visitors. Since it was a warm evening, we chose the outdoor seating, which made for a lovely dinner, though the indoor dining room has the cozy charm of a traditional German pub. If you're looking for hearty, authentic German food done right, Dicke Wirtin is an absolute must-visit.

This a great gem in Berlin! A must visit when in town…read more Old, traditional decor with random signs and things. Really has that old time Germany feeling. Read the reviews and saw that it is a popular place and reservations are recommended. We were dining early (4:45) and thought it wouldn't be hard to get in with a party of two. We did get a table but under the condition that we'd be done by 6pm. By that time, we could see why. The place started to fill up. Both of our meals were excellent. Coworker had the schnitzel (I know someone who thinks that word is funny) and I had the beef tips in a mushroom sauce over spaetzle. Soooo, soooo, good! Plate clearing good. Schnitzel was also excellent. Big portions. Will repeat
