Café Berlin

My second time here and WHAT A DISAPOINTMENT! We had a reservation thru Unilocal for 5 people @ 4pm 6÷24÷2016 for my wife’s birthday. The food was average but our waitress was the worst. She had these two inch long fingernails that were a good place for bacteria and cross contamination to breed. After she took our drink order I seen her eating food behind the counter while getting our beverages. (Hello Clark County Health Department!) After taking our order and all during her idle time while we were there she had more interest either talking to her boyfriend sitting at the counter or using her cell phone. Well we get our food and the order is screwed up. (I wonder why?). My daughter ordered a salad with grilled chicken and there was no chicken! My wife ordered a side of Spaetzle and it was also missing. The owners of Café Berlin better get there heads out of the sand or they will not be open very much longer.
I cannot recommend this place to anyone!

So, apparently most people who come here order the Jaegerschnitzel. And with good reason. They do it right. It’s not Rahmschnitzel. It’s Jaegerschnitzel.
I don’t understand negative reviews about service. It’s not fast, but this thankfully is not fast food.
No matter what you order, it will be good, it will be authentic, it will be fresh. You can’t ask for anything more.
Now, waiting for dessert!

HAVE DESSERT!
To be fair I also had the Jaeger schnitzel and spaetzle which was delicious and borderline more than I could eat. Enough beer on tap to make you happy but seriously dessert…
Warm apple strudel in a vanilla cream sauce.
If you’re already there, do yourself a favor and try it.

Great food and excellent service from a friendly staff. What else is there to say about a very good restaurant. I find the noise level a bit loud for me and that must be due to my age. My companion said I complained about the noise in an empty church. I had the Jaeger Schnitzel and loved it. I need to come back for dinner and enjoy my meal with a German brew.

Stephen told me that his family is German. Very German. When I first heard that, I expected his family to come out in lederhosen and dirndls. OK, Ok, They’re not «that» traditional, but they are from Germany, and they know what the Old Country food should taste like.
The café is located behind a Popeye’s and Arco gas station. We stopped by on the Tuesday after Memorial Day for lunch. The last time we had «German» food in Vegas was at the touristy Hofbrauhaus, and we were disappointed. I am pleased to say that this visit to Café Berlin was 1000% better.
When you walk in, the place isn’t fancy. It’s a simple café with German products and posters on the ceiling and wall. What it lacks in décor, the place makes up with good food. I had the Jaeger schnitzel, while Stephen had the Rahm schitzel, both served with spaetzle, a dumpling type pasta, while mom had the Rouladen, served with red cabbage and bread dumpling.
The food is made to order, and you can hear the cook pounding the pork to make the schnitzel. When the food arrived, few words were spoken while we ate, and the words spoken were «here, try some of mine».
The Scnitzel was delicious. Perfectly fried outside, and covered in delicious gravy. The big hit was the Rouladen. The Rouladen is a beef roll (think flank steak) with bacon, onions and pickles, then rolled, cooked, and covered in gravy. This was served with a dumpling about the size of a huge golf ball, and a serving of warm red cabbage. This was a real traditional German meal. Very German.
Our German adventure didn’t end here, as mom ordered the apple strudel and Stephen had the German Chocolate Cherry cake. Both desserts were not overly sweet, Between the 2 desserts, I did prefer the strudel more. The warm apple and flaky pastry crust, dipped in the vanilla sauce was so good.
Lunch for 3, along with 2 sodas, 2 beers, coffee, and dessert came to $ 80-​something. Perhaps a little pricey since we splurged, but it was probably the highlight of our Vegas jaunt.
Mom liked it, and that’s the biggest critic IMHO.

Short review — Go here. The food is delicious, the staff is german and the atmosphere is good.
Long review —
My husband and I went to Café Berlin two nights ago for the first time. We arrived late (The place closes at 8:00 PM Monday through Friday) so we ordered a combo meal to go.
Like most places in the valley, this place is located in a small strip mall behind a fast food restaurant and a gas station. You won’t have any problems parking here and there are plenty of tables for those who wish to dine in.
Our combo meal had different brats, schnitzel, spaetzle, two types of sauerkraut and what looked like a german hamburger (Not sure what it’s called).
We loved everything. The food was fresh and the staff was friendly. They told us (in a thick german accent) to sit down and get comfortable while we wait for our take-​out order. We sipped delicious german beers while our food was being prepared.
I will definitely be back. This place feels like a jewel in the rough. You don’t’ expect to find a great german restaurant in a strip mall behind a gas station, but it works and our experience was delightful.

If you want to try good German Food, come here! It’s a lot smaller, than the popular place, but just as good if not better. It’s off Decatur and 215 in southwest. Try the sampler platter with the sausage, kraut and cucumber salad. And you must try the strudel. Reminded me of Berlin.

Café Berlin. Café Berlin.
So great we had to have it twice.
While in Vegas for a business conference, we were looking for something away from the glitz and glam of the Strip. Café Berlin caught our eye and it was decided that we’d check it out, being lovers of German food and beer.
This is exactly the sort of place that will appeal to those who are looking for something real and genuine in a city full of show. It’s not a dive, but it’s definitely got a mom and pop feel. App the place is owned by actual Germans, so that’s a plus also.
The food is fantastic. I had the Wurstplatte on the first night — it’s a sausage sampler platter with three different types of brat. Each was delicious. It was served with more mashed potatoes than any person should eat, but eat them I did. It was served with a German potato salad that compliThe second night I had the Sauerbraten…
My wife ordered the Frikadelle on the first night. It’s a beef & gravy plate that was also very filling and super tasty — sehr lecker, as the Deutsch would say. Night two she ordered the Jäger Schnitzel mit Cucumber Salad
We’re glad we found this café. It’s away from the Strip and has some amazing food. The conference I attend goes to Vegas almost every year. Café Berlin gives me something to look forward to.

If someone like German food — clean&tasty, this little place is highly recommended!
The owner and the cook are from Germany too

On Saturday ³⁄₅^th I finally made it over to Café Berlin to participate in their AYCE-​All You Can Eat once a month buffet.
Granted I am spoiled residing in Las Vegas with all of the many AYCE options that offer such an enormous variety of foods for similar price as charged here. $ 24.99
The restaurant itself is decent sized, and clean. Service was limited to only 2 waitresses who seemed to juggle all the patrons in a timely fashion.
A nice variety was setup for self serve, with my focus returning to the buffet line for extra helpings of the Schnitzel, several types of Wursts, Spaetzle, Sauerbraten, Red Cabbage, and German Potato Salad.
My iced tea was included in the buffet price, and my date ordered a $ 7 glass of St. Gabriel Liebfraumilch white wine that she enjoyed.
Dessert was extra, and I couldn’t resist ordering blueberry strudel priced at $ 5.49. Absolutely delicious!
Considering the price of the dinner entrees, I think this once a month buffet is a great deal to explore some delicious German foods.
TIP: My date did a Unilocal Check-​in and we got 10% deducted from our bill.

Unilocal 100 REVIEW CHALLENGE 2016: #58

If you are ever in the mood for German food, this is the place to be. I ordered the Rouladen (stuffed beef roll-​ups with red cabbage and dumplings that reminded me of stuffing) with a tasty red wine and was very pleased.
Check out the website:
My dish is the eighth in the video slideshow.

Amazing Food and Sebastian was a delightful waiter!!! Going back soon!!!

The food is great, the service is superb but the kitchen staff needs to speed up. We were warned before we entered the restaurant that the food will take long but we still wanted to try it out. And boy was he right, the food did take forever to arrive at our table. The kitchen staff needs to manage their time and efficiency because I even saw a couple got up and leave because they had waited long. That’s not good business for the future. We ordered the sampler which gave you a variety of sausages, meat patties, snitzels, spätzle, sauerkraut. All were amazing. I even enjoyed the potato pancakes :) make sure to check in to get 10% off your order !

Delicious. Super authentic and the staff is extremely pleasant! We got the sampler plate and cherry strudel. You won’t be disappointed!

I have ordered the Wurst Plate, Rouladen, spatzel and red cabbage. I have also had one other beef dish. I really really liked it all. I will certainly be going back.

Experience: Came with a group of 8 peeps. I have been wanting to try this place for a while. It was 6pm on a Wednesday.
Facility: this has a very casual feel with a slight industrial décor. There are tables and chairs, and a few high bar stools with and umbrella table to give a «beer garden» feel. The place is kinda on the small side and very clean. They have a display case by the register with the desserts on display.
Service: The waitresses, and I think maybe owners, were super nice and very helpful. They answered all your questions and were accommodating to our requests, even when they were a little outside the norm. Good service!!!
Food: the food was great!
I ordered the wurstplate with cucumber salad and red cabbage. I really enjoyed all the sausages (⁴⁄₅), especially with the senf (German mustard). The cucumber salad (⁵⁄₅) was delicious. The red cabbage (³⁄₅) was good, but I prefer it savory versus sweets for this was a tad sweet.
Overall it was great! I would definitely come back and plan to! Yum! :)

Great service, and lots of amazing German food. Schnitzel, sausages, sauerkraut, red cabbage, all of it awesome… Not one dish disappointed us. We’ll be back!

If you are looking for a fancy restaurant, Café Berlin is not your place. Café Berlin is a great little German restaurant with comfortable atmosphere.
If you like German homemade tasting food, this is the place in Las Vegas you can get it. They also have a good selection of German beer, that goes well with the meal. But it even gets better, the deserts of strudel are out of this world.
We did the Saturday night buffet, but the staff kept checking in on us if we needed anything. The buffet has a very good selection of German foods and are tasty.
Great place to spend with family and friends, they do not rush you our the door.

Pretzel was warm and yummy. Bratwurst was good, but then again I’ve never been to Germany so I have nothing to compare to lol. Good service, but a little pricey.

This place is amazing. If you are looking for authentic made from scratch German food this place will not disappoint.

Amazing food, absolutely delicious. Make a reservation if you plan to go after 5:00. Not a classy place but they make food for the gods. Try the jagerschnitzel, ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Food is always bomb! Been there a handful of times and every time it’s no less than a five star rating!

I good change of pace, if your looking for something a bit different this would be a pleasant choice. Don’t have a good bar to measure just how authentic of a German restaurant this is but it seemed pretty authentic to me. Excellent food and good size portions makes for a winning combination, the only thing that keeps this from getting 5-​Stars is the pricing might be a bit steep. For two adults with an appetizer, no drinks and three deserts (one to take home for junior) our tab was $ 70. All in all a good meal and we will go back as they have several interesting dishes to try out.

We went to café Berlin after a long day of hiking in the Red rock canyon.
The place is simple but the food and service are great.
We started with the Pretzel and it was fresh and amazing
We had a few dishes for main course schnitzel, goulash and a sausage, all of it was just awesome. The dessert was outstanding
Highly recommend taking the time and driving away from the strip to have dinner at Café Berlin.

Stopped in with my family over the holidays. I had the Jaeger schnitzel, it was delicious! Everyone in my family was super pleased with what they ordered, that says a ton coming from a usually picky bunch!

Wonderful food– made from scratch and delicious! We tried the sample platter to get a little of everything. The cheese onion twists were amazing! We definitely recommend. We went on Saturday night and they even had a person playing accordion.

Café Berlin is always the first place I mention when someone says they want to go out to eat someplace off the strip. It might be my favorite restaurant in Vegas.
The food is always excellent. I’ve been here about 20 times over the years with all sorts of different people, and everyone always raves about how tasty the food is. You must get a pretzel with obatzter cheese for an appetizer. And they have german beers on tap! My favorite is the Konig Ludwig Dunkel in a giant stein.
My only complaint is that the price is a little high for me to afford coming here all the time. But I still love it, and I will be back again and again!

Husband and I went there for lunch for the first time. Not sure what to expect. It’s in a small complex behind a gas station, but near the freeway off Decatur and 215. The place was pretty busy and service was friendly. The food was outstanding! My husband ordered the Jaeger Schnitzel and I had the Rouladen, which was so tender! We also ordered a mixed salad that was pretty large and we shared. For dessert, we had the cherry streudel that came with an awesome cream sauce to pour on top. Since I checked in on Unilocal,we received the 10% discount. :-)
My only negative would be that the restaurant is very casual and doesn’t have a lot of ambiance. The floors are the epoxied style similar to what someone would have in a garage. This did make the restaurant loud and felt more like a fast casual than a sit down restaurant. The entire building, including the bathrooms, was very clean; even my husband commented on how clean the bathrooms were.

I’ve been noticing this spot every time I drive by and thinking I should stop in. I finally decided to call in a take out order for lunch one day last week.
When I called the order in I was told it’d be 20 minutes, but it was ready to go when I arrived 15 minutes later. The inside of the restaurant was simple and not very big. I’m glad that I decided on take out.
I enjoyed the lunch portion of the Schweine Schnitzel which came with a cold German potato salad. I loved the taste of the dish. The schnitzel was simple and the breading was delicious. The breading was the perfect amount and not greasy. The potato salad had a serious tang that I enjoyed. If I returned I would probably add a side of spaetzle or red cabbage to make it a heartier meal. The meal wasn’t enough food to fill me which is very odd for a restaurant portion. My only critique is that the price ($ 11.99) seemed a bit high for portion as well. I loved the food though.

I love this place! So no disappointment at all. Here’s what I tried…
Zigeuner Schnitzel (paprika-​bell pepper gravy) —- such a tastey gravy and the breaded pork cutlets are made perfectly (nice and crunchy on the outside and tender on the in).
Jaeger Schnitzel (secret mushroom gravy) —– if you’re a lover of mushrooms… this is a must! So delightful and nothing over-​bearing. Perfect.
It was nothing short of awesome! Home-​cooking style German cuisine at its best!
A must on anyone’s list of places to dine here in Las Vegas.

I would first like to say I am very picky about German food because I’m German and compare all German food to my mom and Oma’s homemade German food. We came here for our anniversary and it is a cute restaurant with a live band with an accordion. Loved the atmosphere The service was great and the food tasted very good! I will be coming back!

I came here hoping I could finally get currywurst outside of Berlin and they certainly do have it. However the rotating images of different dishes shown on the big screen dissuaded me from getting the currywurst here as it looked like a sweating heap of ketchup and Oscar Meyer franks. The waitress also informed me the goulash would be a better choice and I am a sucker for good spaetzle. When it arrived I was pretty disappointed in the taste. The goulash was tasteless, each piece of meat had a giant strip of fat and the spaetzle was way creamier/​more buttery than any I’ve had in Germany or elsewhere. Because it was quite expensive and I didn’t want to have to eat it again I ate it all, but really didn’t enjoy it. My friend got the jaegerschnitzel and that too had a greasy nasty taste to it. He said it was just ok.
For the price and overall décor I would not come back again. I’d rather have no German food than this German food.

Growing up in the midwest, I’ve had my share of german cuisine, but most of it is pretty bland by current standards. Café Berlin in Vegas is my 2^nd favorite german place of all time (2^nd to suppenkuche in San Fran). I’m quick to order jagerschnitzel, which is divine here, but I’ve tried a few other dishes and it’s all fantastic.
They accept Bitcoins, too!

Also das ist jetzt mein zweites mal hier in einer Woche und das Essen hier ist das beste in Las Vegas. All das Essen schmeckt super und das Bier ist auch nicht schlecht. Es ist wie man ein kleines Stück Deutschland haben hier in die Wüste. Danke für alles!
So this is my second time here in a week and the food is the best in all of Las Vegas. The food tastes amazing and the bier isn’t bad either. It’s like having a little piece of Germany here in the desert. Thanks for everything.

I’m half German and I miss the food my family used to make– but the seriously mixed reviews kept me from trying this spot sooner. It was decent, but rather than knocking out my German cravings it just made me wish we had more options in town.
I had the pork Jaeger schnitzel lunch plate ($ 13) with «hunters style» mushroom gravy and spaetzle– the pork was a generous portion, nicely crispy, and the mushroom gravy was okay, had few actual mushrooms. The spaetzel was also just okay but had good texure. Dish seemed underseasoned.
BF had the bratwurst plate, largely due to the «Best German Bratwurst in Vegas!» sign by the front door. And I’ll say, damn, it was good. For a $ 13 plate though, I kind of felt it should have more than one sausage link and simple, basic sides of (bland) cabbage and (decent) fried potatoes. The $ 10 brats in the sandwiches section of the menu would have been better.
Service was spotty. Our order was taken and dishes brought out, but we weren’t really checked on and had to hunt down takeout boxes. Female server we saw at the beginning of our visit wasn’t seen again. Seems the staff share all the service, which unfortunately leads to a lack of consistency, as no one knows who is doing what.
Table sign indicates that they have a monthly buffet, the first Saturday of each month. Selection did not sound worth the price. If you are here for dinner, there’s a Unilocal check in offer for a 10% discount.

There are two reasons why Anybody (including me) are going to rate this restaurant 5 stars:
A) Man spricht Deutsch hier her im diese familie-​gegrundet gesellschaft.
B) Man kann gutes Deutsches lieblings essen kriegen, gutes Pils vom fass, im ein Gasthaus oder Imbiss mode.
Es gibt kein negativen hier, ausser den preis dort wird ziemlich teuer. Aber bei mir, das macht nichts weil ich glaube dieses restaurant ist der extra premium hoch-​wert. Wir koennen der ganze nacht lang darueber preis discutieren aber den geschicht ist nicht moebiliert: der preis ist der preis.
Nun, es klingt wie liebe im hertz das menu:
Wuerstchen und schnitzel nach jedem art, pommes oder kartoffel oder paniertes spaetzle oder alles da zu, man findet hier her der ganze erlebniss. Stamm essen und Deutsches lebensmittel und echtes fleischkaese bei den pfund zum mit nehmen.
Ich koente der Disco die ganze nacht tanzen damit solche gutes essen! Und vielleicht ich mach das! Vergiss nicht einmal pro monat es gibt Buffet auch!

Café Berlin satisfies my craving for German food!!!
I’ve visited this place many times and they never disappoint.
The food is very delicious and tastes likes homemade German cuisine.
The staff are nice people and they like answering questions about the dishes.
Here are some of my favorite dishes:
Rouladen, Gulasch, and Jaeger Schnitzel.

Came here to try their monthly buffet and have decided this place is mediocre at best… This place is way over-​rated! How they have an average of nearly 5 stars is beyond me because I would not come back, especially at the prices they’re charging! $ 22.99 for a dinner buffet is ridiculous when you walk in and see this hole in the wall joint and their tiny spread of about 7 or 8 items on the «buffet», with most of those items being sides such as sauerkraut, red cabbage, mashed potates, spaetzle, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the sides, but just wish there were more entrée type items instead of just the 4: assorted sausages, schnitzel, roasted chicken, and some hamburger patty looking thing .
The dessert spread is also a joke, with most of it being stale and looking worse than Hostess packaged snacks… why wasn’t there any Black Forest cake or strudel? And why does a German buffet serve stale cupcakes and cookies? The buffet includes a soft drink but if you want beer that will cost extra. If you want a pretzel or real dessert, such as strudel, you’ll have to pay extra too. So where does the $ 22.99 I’m paying for the «buffet» go?
The staff was nice and kept coming by to check on us and refill our drinks. There was a little confused when we arrived because they couldn’t figure out my reservation and we eventually figured out that they had for some reason crossed me off the list even though a reserved tag with my name on it was cleared set on the table. Reservations are recommended here at any given time because their place is so tiny and it for some reason gets very packed.
I wouldn’t say that I’m an expert when it comes to German food but I’ve definitely had some way better places, and at cheaper pricing too. There aren’t many German joints in Vegas but I’d say one of my favorites anywhere is still Hoffbrauhaus, which is surprisingly cheaper than this place! Yeah it doesn’t make sense to me either… I’d say skip this place and save your money!

Das Essen ist wunderbar!
Who knew you could find authentic German food in the Las Vegas Valley? Café Berlin is randomly placed in the tiniest strip mall ever with two other food places and a insurance office. Weird.
I noticed this place after pumping gas across the parking lot and decided to try it out. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the décor; the place is set up like an old school cafeteria buffet with Red, Yellow, and Black colors everywhere to represent the German Flag. There are also a lot of German themed posters and even a clock that gives the current time for Las Vegas and the current for the city of Berlin. I was happily greeted at the door and was told I could sit anywhere.
I sat down and browsed the menu and immediately noticed numerous tasty delicacies which reminded me of my Gam-Gam’s cooking. I mean we’re talking bratwurst, liverwurst, and a new thing I had never heard of called, «Currywurst». I saw the house special and thought to myself, «when in Germany»…“I’ll have the Jaeger Schnitzle and the Spaeztle please!” Within about 10 minutes I had a piping hot plate of authentic German food in front of me. If you’re not familiar with Schnitzle it’s basically a meat of some type, usually pork, that has pounded flat, breaded, and fried. Yummy!
This plate of food was delicious! The Schnitzle, in this case pork, was super tender and cooked perfectly; juicy on the inside, nice and crunchy on top. This plate of food also came with a side dish called Spaeztle, which is a soft egg noodle with very little taste. I mixed mine with the mushroom gravy that was on top of my Schnitzle. Even though there wasn’t much flavor on these noodles they still added to the meal and complimented the saltines of the gravy.
I inhaled this meal and was a fat, happy little German boy all over again. Just as I was awakening from my food coma and was just about to pay the check, I saw a giant pretzel come out of the kitchen, made in-​house and fried to order. This giant twisted carb loaded goodness would not escape my grip and I ordered one for the road. I actually ate half of it on my way home, so soft and delicious how could you say no? This giant knotted doughy treat come with two different dipping sauces: a cheese and dijon mustard. So good!
Café Berlin is awesome. Great customer service, quick food preparation and a very chill atmosphere. They also serve a small selection of German beers if you feel like getting the full Berlin experience.
I will definitely be back to try the Wurstplate with three different types of sausage goodness.
Alveterzane!
