Took our three adult sons for dinner. Large restaurant. Lots of outdoor seating. No wait. The food exceeded our expectations! Loved the traditional options. It wasn’t too busy. A reminder to Americans the outdoor patio is where everyone smokes so keep that in mind when requesting seating.

Great place to drink a very good beer and eat the typical comfort food from Germany. The food and beers where outstanding. This one of my new favorite places to go when i visit Germany. You can find a “Paulaner Wirtshaus” at several cities.

Fantastic spot and definitely worth a visit. If you enjoy Paulaner, you’ll love the beer selection, but the food is just as impressive—the Bavarian Trio was delicious. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is excellent. I liked it so much I came two days in a row before leaving Berlin. They even sell branded merchandise—I picked up a set of glasses as souvenirs

We visited Paulaner Wirtshaus mainly for the beer and some small appetizers, and it didn’t disappoint! The service was excellent — friendly, quick, and attentive. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options on the menu, even beyond what we expected for just a casual visit. The location is amazing, with a great atmosphere that really adds to the experience. Whether you’re stopping in for drinks or a full meal, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

Great place to experience some authentic German cuisine. Lively, busy, a great night out. Server shift ended and we kinda were forgotten about after that, but we did flag someone down. Servers were friendly and polite.

I give them credit, as they saved themselves from a bad review. They made the first weiner schnitzel I ordered poorly. The waitress was very apologetic (not her fault at all) and offered for them to remake it. The second one came out beautifully, no longer covered in burnt specks and oily, but a lovely golden all around. The manager came and explained the reasons, and I'll take his explanation at face value. I understand the establishment has a reputation to maintain. The chicken schnitzel was fantastic, with buttery, crispy, and creamy potatoes. Service was fantastic.
