American Cuisine

15 Locations

American cuisine in Berlin runs well beyond the burger, taking in barbecue, Cajun and Creole cooking, Tex Mex and classic diner fare. As a food city with a young crowd, Berlin has embraced american cuisine in both casual and more ambitious forms. This tag gathers Berlin restaurants built around these flavours.

Smokehouses and rib joints cluster around Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, while Mitte offers steakhouses and upscale takes on the theme. Brunch menus lean American at weekends, with pancakes, bagels and bottomless coffee, and dedicated spots serve wings, mac and cheese and pies. Vegetarian versions of the classics are increasingly common too.

Browse the addresses below to find american cuisine that suits your appetite, from smoky and rich to quick and comforting.
