I'll make it short: The burgers here are fantastic and not for the faint hearted - the calorie count is through the roof, and thank you for that! The steaks are equally great: tender, tasty and perfectly grilled. The Bird is packed with people, both tourists and locals, and there's a reason for that. Just don't get a table in... More

Reading the past reviews, I thought I would add my two cents. I find The Bird a refreshing reminder of what I miss most about the states. Having lived overseas for several years, I like to travel around Europe and find the places that the locals like. The Bird has a refreshing mixture of tourists in the know and locals.... More

I really have to say that I disagree with most of the reviews written about the bird. While you do get at big, really expensive steak, you also get a steak that tastes like charcoal. When thinking about it I still can taste that burned taste in my mouth. No way near the best steaks in Berlin. My girlfriend had... More

Really cannot say a bad thing about this place . The staff were an absolute pleasure to be around - Fundamentally I think this is what makes The Bird so awesome ( other than the burgers which are as good as you will find in Berlin, or perhaps more controversially ,THE WORLD !! ). There is a park opposite and... More

I came here for Valentine's Day with my boyfriend at the time because I wanted some all-American food. The inside of the restaurant was like being back in America. The staff spoke fluent English. Compared to the average price of food in Berlin, the food was overpriced. The burgers were good (served on English muffins) but they were so small... More

I had a cheddar burger with fries. The beef tasted like lampoil - magne to much fat and flames in the grill.. The french fries where not crisopy - but soft.. The place is authentic, and the staff really nice..

Nice sloppy burger with tons of fresh crispy french fries :) Love it and will be back for more sloppy food later.

I booked a table a week before arriving - thank God I did, it was very busy and they were turning people away. The atmosphere was great, loud music but we could still hear each other. Food delivered what I hoped, good food, chips were amazing and good choice of beers on tap. Its not the cheapest and a bit... More

We visited The Bird in search of some awesome steak whilst on holiday in Berlin because we love a great steak (and don't mind paying for it). We hadn't booked in advance so there was an hours wait which we were fine with (because we don't mind waiting for awesome steak). Once in there however, service was brisk, inattentive and... More

This place has the best burgers and some great beers on tap. I think its better than Rays Hellburger even! It is a little out of the way if you are a tourist in Berlin, but well worth the trek. After living in Germany for a couple of years you learn that a real burger is impossible to find except... More
