Taste of Berlin: Reviews & Ratings
This is a great little spot hidden away in Brandon. The food is very good. I loved the Jagerschnitzel. It had lots of flavor. In addition to the pretzel my kids loved the Wiener schnitzel and brat.
Authentic ambience and an incredible meal for a very very low cost. And to say the food was incredible would be an understatement. We had the Yeagers schnitzel and it was the bomb.
Absolutely delicious homemade German food in a cute setting with wooden chairs and a ton of German decor. Everything from the German rolls to the spatzle to the schnitzel was fantastic and really gives you a great example of German cuisine in FL! You know it's a real Oma and Opa in the kitchen. We couldn't decide if the plum cake or German chocolate cake were better! My fiancé said it was his childhood in every bite. Yes, with drinks, dessert and an appetizer, it is not a $50 meal for two, but nothing is anymore. We will definitely be going back for those nights when a nostalgic dinner is needed!
Great food. Lovely servers. Portions are large and we always have to-gos. Very authentic and always a great experience.
Authentic and delicious. The service from Alaysia was fantastic - she had to talk us through ordering and was amazing and patient as we changed our minds and had a million questions. Ambiance is casual but inviting. We went with the Chicken Shnitzel, Goulash soup, Bread Dumplings with mushroom gravy (my fav). Recommend!
Another excellent dining exoerience!! I had the cordon bleu which was amazing !! My wife had schnitzel rahm, also amazing. Service was excellent. We were too full to have the strudel.
Food is always, always amazing. Servers are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is always well-run and organized. The live music is always guaranteed to make it a fun night! Save room for the desserts!
I was back in Brandon again this week so I was able to make it to Taste of Berlin again. Service was great. It was a slow night so she was able to pay extra attention. The owner swung by to check on things. Tried a new meal and a new beer. Awesome selection of German beers. Especially for a small place this is spectacular. The beer was a Salvatore Paulanor Double Bock. Amazing. Paired perfectly with the Schnitzel Frankfort. I had a side of red cabbage to go with the spatzle that came with the meal. The Frankfort was something new for me and I loved it. The lemon caper sauce was so delicious. Unfortunately I was unable to have desert. Just too much food. It was great though.
We came here on a Friday night. Almost all tables full. We did find a table and were quickly greeted. The 2 servers did a nice job going between all the tables. Most of the menu is either veal or pork schnitzel. They have a few other choices along with a daily special. Luckily we love schnitzel! I got plain schnitzel served with German potato salad. I also ordered a side of red cabbage. Wife got schnitzel with pepper gravy and bread dumplings. Kids got schnitzel and fries. Schnitzel was fried up perfectly and tender. I got a side is spicy mustard to dip and that was excellent. I really liked their potato salad. It had great depth of flavor. The red cabbage was sweet and savory and hit the spot. I was very happy. The bread dumpling reminded me of stuffing. If you like stuffing you will like those. Kids loved the fries. They had a nice seasoning on them and could tell they had just been fried. Everyone had a great meal. Some things to know ahead. Soda comes in cans so no free refills. If you pay cash you pay menu price, otherwise a little more for card. The big beer steins also looked good! This is a great local German place. Come get you some Schnitzel!
Fantastic spot for authentic German food! The restaurant is a small, intimate space - not very crowded on a weekday night though I can see it being busier on the weekends. I had the potato leek soup, pretzel appetizer, jaeger schnitzel, and apple strudel all of which were excellent! Everything is served piping hot and freshly made - the schnitzel and spaetzle were particularly good. Fairly large portion size and I still devoured it all! For the portion size and quality of food, its fairly priced and well worth it.
