Scheers Schnitzel

The schnitzel is insanely good, and all the sides are amazing too. Honestly, I’d never guess it’s a fast-food style place: if they served the same plate in a fine-dining restaurant, I wouldn’t notice any difference. Even the fries are delicious. These people really know what they’re doing!

Scheers Schnitzel definitely lived up to the high ratings. It's nothing fancy, just good food and fast service. The place is quite small and a little bit shabby, but I have to say, the veal schnitzel here is way better than the €30 schnitzel I had in Vienna. It was unfortunate that I only found this place on my last night in Berlin.

We came here to try their schnitzel, and ordered a plate and a burger. We got the Wiener schnitzel (veal escalope with clarified butter and cranberries, with potato salad with mayonnaise as side) and the classic burger (pork escalope with homemade remoulade, pickled cucumber and salad). They have sauce dispensers, and we liked the curry one the most. The veal schnitzel was really good, while the pork schnitzel was just okay. The cranberry sauce was tasty, and so was the potato salad. If we were back, we would only order veal, or try turkey.

If you are looking for fast service and love schnitzel, this is a great place to go. You can order through your phone or the screen and you will have your order in the next few minutes. The seating is first come first serve, the space is small, but there are a lot of tables to share space. We ordered veal and pork schnitzel. The veal one was juicier. But we both enjoyed the food.

We came here to try the schnitzel and we order it in a burger. It's a nice way to eat it since you don't have to use any utensils and it was really tender and flavorful and it even included fries. On top of that the place is quite nice and the prices are excellent. Definitely recommend it.

Very good schnitzel, great super crunchy fries, awesome potato salad. I love that you can just serve the sauces yourself, my absolute favourites were chilli mayo and aioli. Very recommended!

Don’t be put off by the look of the place. The food is great, nothing fancy but served quickly and efficiently. Priced well and it was very busy when we were there showing how popular it is. Great place to start or end the East Side Gallery

Very tasty food and big portions. You can take any souses, which you want. Pink salad was on the top! Like it. Also when I couldn't finish the whole portion I got a package to take the leftovers home. Thank you!

While visiting Berlin I wanted to try traditional food and the schnitzel was the main thing that came to mind other than sausage and potatoes. I did a quick search on my phone for food and while looking through the results I saw this place had good reviews and it was close to another tourist destination I wanted to check out. When we arrived it still early for dinner so the restaurant was really slow. I think it was just me and my friend and 1 other customer at the restaurant. We got serviced right away so we could place our order. The staff spoke English and answered all our questions with a smile. The places looks fun with writing and graffity writing all over the bathroom and the dinning room. It was clean when we visited but then again it was super slow when we visited. The restaurant itself was easy to find and had access to public transportation. I will agree with some of the other reviews, the meat was thin but it did have lots of flavor. I did enjoy my 'traditional' German plate and maybe next time I will order 2 plates to really get my fill. It was very affordable compare to other places but I would for sure go again to try a different plate if I were to go back again.

Although located in a very busy location in Berlin, I'll agree with some of the reviews that the schnitzel is thin and a bit dry. Ordered the jagerschnitzel and even with the mushroom sauce was a bit to put down. With such a thin filet you have twice as much breading to meat ratio which makes an unsatisfying meal.

Great food for a good price. It came quickly as well. Good vibe overall would definitely recommend. Kind of in a hidden spot

A great place to eat in Berlin. Schnitzel can often be overpriced and overrated in many of the restaurants in Berlin. However, shears is an exception always well done and always a great price point. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone

Very thin 5mm snitzel breading fried crisp. Not enough mushroom to cover the snitzel. The grease is so strong you can smell it outside. But I had to try as it has such a high rating. Had better with quality ingredients and cash only too. You get what you pay for. Place is down street from a party night club and open late. Can see why this place has a following. Seedy part of town as well under the train station ramp.

Amazingly priced schnitzel that is pretty damned delicious!! My wife and I went here upon arrival into Berlin as we were too tired to go anywhere else. We ordered two schnitzel plates but unfortunately my wife wasn't feeling well and didn't eat any of her plate. So after finishing mine I thought oh maybe I'll have a little bit of hers and before I knew it I had eaten both plates completely. How am I not 200 kilos??? Anyway, go here for your schnitzel fix

Great place. We really enjoyed both the food and the atmosphere. Nice history of music events the walls. Cash only.

This was actually my favorite spot in Berlin (don't judge me!). The schnitzel was hot and crispy and the fries were perfectly made. I got the one with mushrooms and it was delicious with the added side. We also got beers (none of which we knew) but we went by his suggestions and my lager was pretty good. The shop is relatively small, so I probably wouldn't suggest it for a large group but it was cozy spot, perfect for 2 -4 people. The experience was made even better by the friendly man at the front who was definitely used to tourists but still kept a smile on his face. Definitely recommend, especially if you're coming to see the east side gallery, it's a 3 minute walk from there.

My first schnitzel with fries, salad, and beer seemed to hit the lunchtime need. Good service. Food freshly cooked and to you in short time. Indoor and outdoor quick style place, not a fancy restaurant.

Would have been 5 stars but the chef ticked me off! Didn't realize it was cash only so placed order and said I would run to get cash. He looked at me like I had lost my mind! He said we would not make the food until I paid. I then asked if he allows people to call in an order. He says yes. Enough said. The regular ole pork schnitzel was really nice. I just loved the sauces too. I tried the homemade tartar and garlic aioli. Did you see the prices?! I got ALL this food for €5,50! Def worth the bad service!

They don't take credit cards and I didn't have enough cash to buy the veal :( I came all the way from Pennsylvania and couldn't try the signature dish. Nevertheless, this is an OK meal. It comes with a side of Germany's ubiquitous generic fries. The are pretty plain steak-style fries. Nothing really exciting or crispy unfortunately. The Chicken Schnitzel was pretty good. The chicken was nicely marinated for a juicy texture. Although I'd prefer it to be a bit more fall-apart (like Chik-Fila.) The bite resistance was still fairly strong in this one. The breading is pretty generic and lack flavor complexity (hence they give you lemon, no meat should need lemon.) The most interesting part of this joint are the sauce options. I got the garlic mayo, which was pungent and unctuous; a very nice place for the fries to swim. The interior is trendy/grungy and the service is friendly. I'd come back, but only if BurgerMeister down the street had a long line.

One would call the vibe in Scheers umm dive bar like with random posters on the walls and drawings about... and dimly lit.... now if you're able to get over the ambiance then go ahead and order yourself a schnitzel because it's pretty damn good and a nice generous portion too. And if you're extra hungry there is a size me up option which involves 2 pieces of schnitzel. I recommend the schnitzel with potato salad or with French fries whatever you're in the mood for at the time. There are a variety of sauces you can pair with your schnitzel. Yup I decided to try all of them, fav being the curry one and the garlic one. Utensils and paper towels are right by the area you order and at the end of the meal simply toss away the paper plates in the trash and throw the used utensils in that bucket of soap water by the trash. All in all I'll be back during my next visit to Berlin because hey.. it's some yummy schnitzel

Great location, great value for what you are getting and if you are taking friends outside of Germany for a visit - this place represents the east Berlin vibe that young people or millennials will enjoy. The schnitzel taste is good, the vibe and location has its own Berlin style, you are right next to the Berlin Wall and close to the water. The price is nice. You have varieties of schnitzels to choose from. All good! Why not 5 stars - As someone born and raised in Berlin Germany, I just had better schnitzels but would recommend this place!

The schnitzel was on point. It was fried very well and was juicy and crispy. The potato salad was also good. The cooks were also friendly.

This awesome food joint is right where the East Side Gallery starts, so grab a meal here after admiring the murals on the Berlin Wall! It's delicious and affordable. I got the BBQ schnitzel sandwich with cheese for 4.80 euro. They have traditional Wiener schnitzel as well for less than 10 euro! They have plenty of sauces to choose from to compliment your food (curry, ketchup, aoili, chili, etc). Order and pay at the counter, they'll tell you what number to listen for. Once you hear your number, go back to the counter to pick up your food :)

Price is very good. But it's cash only store.... Unfortunately, it took me more than half hour to get there and I don't cash. Store looks dirty and very small. But very popular. Didn't get chance to taste...

This was likely my favorite Schnitzel on my excessively schnitzel-filled recent trip. I went with traditional, forgoing a intimidatingly long and delicious looking list of decadent items like mushrooms gravys and bacon, and got mine served plain along with fries and lemon wedge. In terms of thickness, this one fell squarely in the middle of the various ones sampled, which is to say still very thin by normal standards. On its own it was simple and delicious, and already exceedingly filling. Fired to a perfect golden brown and wonderfully moist vealness on the inside, it was a deliciously gut-busting welcome to what immediately became one of my favorite cities. The technically marvelous cutlet was actually bested however to the perfectly crisp, steakhouse-cut size fries. I was unexpectedly delighted by the exceedingly high quality of "french" fries in this country and these beauties were the best I've had in some time. Some how I still got change back from 10 Euros for all of this insanity. A myriad of flavored mayos are offered to dunk your deep fried goodness in and plenty of cheap and wonderful German beers are offered to wash it down with. The setting smack in the middle of the wonderfully seedy club district that has made this city so infamous provides a much needed place to offer a solid base, or substance to soak up all of whatever substances one might be imbibing on a night out here. The location, combined with its dank, graffiti scarred interior, and face-tattoo sporting clientele transported me back to the Alphabet City of my early youth, a place long and gone, and that was a wonderful yet profoundly bittersweet feeling,....

Schnitzel is a battered, fried piece of pork. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was quite disappointed by the simplistic snack. A wedge of lemon sat on top of the Schnitzel and I consumed it rather quickly. The meat wasn't dry.

When I'm near touristy destinations, I expect to find subpar food for a great deal, or subpar food for a subpar deal. This won't be the best schnitzel of your life. However, it is pretty good schnitzel, at a great price, with friendly service, very close to East Side Gallery. Tons of options, chicken, pork, vegetarian, veal, sauce on top, no sauce, sauce on the side, dipping sauces, whatever your heart desires, this place delivers. I wanted more butter, I got more butter. The schnitzel is a bit thinner, so if you're debating portions, I recommend going bigger.

Incredible schnitzel place!! For 5-7 €, you can get a huge meal with schnitzel, fries and coleslaw - 1€ extra for chicken schnitzel. The double portion includes a second piece of schnitzel. Two of us split one normal order (schnitzel with fried mushrooms and butter) which was perfect for a small meal, but would be super filling for one person. Great food and the location at one end of the East Side Gallery makes it convenient to stop by if you're visiting as a tourist (but luckily it isn't overrun by tourists!)

Really good find! Schnitzels are very good and big portions. I tried the schni po sa which comes with tasty fries and a salad. All on their menu comes with a very fair price! Will definitely visit this place again.

Pros: -Great price -Indoor and outdoor seating (with shade/covering) -Large menu with a lot of different schnitzel variations. I had no idea there were so many! -Several sauces to dip your fries or schnitzel in. -They have a very good, well translated English menu I can't say if this is the greatest schnitzel you'll ever have, but you can't beat the price, and it was tasty.

Love their schnitzel topped with butter fried mushrooms & herbs. The order comes with the French fried & a side coleslaw. I saw people order the bun and it looks amazing.

Well, not a fine dining place, but definitely a fantastic place to eat, great service, and really great schnitzel!

The food is tasty but not too elaborate (crispy and flavorful schnitzel with fries) which is expected considering the price. Tourist friendly since you have an English menu and the people also speak English. Cosy environment if you wish to stay inside, but there is also the option to eat outside. Whenever your order is ready they will call for your order number. Simple, cheap, efficient and tasty. A great bang for your buck.

Great schnitzel and potato salad at a great price. Great for a quick lunch right near the east side gallery. They have English menus on the counter if needed.

Talk about a deal! This place serves amazing schnitzel at an incredible price - be sure to try the garlic aioli!

Got the chili cheese schnitzel. Kind of tasted like slightly lower quality than some the nicer schnitzel places I visited. It was decent I guess for the price, and it has a cool hip atmosphere but I probably wouldn't come back. Also, this was the only place on my entire Germany trip that gave me travelers diarrhea, for whatever reason, either something was off with the food itself or someone didn't wash their hands before handling my food.

nothing special, but cheap and fast. the schnitzel was good, the fries were okay. They offer a variety of sauces including their homemade tartar sauce which is pretty good. everything here is under €10 which is nice.

Yum! Right next to the East Side Gallery under the bridge, this location is convenient and pretty easy to find. There are a lot of options for toppings, but I got the plain one with potato salad. They also have mustard, ketchup, tar tar sauce, and some other bottles of sauce. The cashier was also quite friendly when I asked what sauces Germans usually eat with the schnitzel. The meat is well-breaded, but you can still taste the meat, and combined with my potato salad, it was really good. This is the first and only schnitzel I got to try in Berlin, but it was a pretty good one!

Cute, grungy, delicious food. A friend and I arrived in Berlin that morning and were looking to grab a quick lunch near our Airbnb. Like traditional Berlin culture, the decor was eclectic and fun - graffitied walls and colorful stickers everywhere. It's a simple restaurant with limited seating. I ordered the schnitzel with fries, and it was cooked perfectly. Lots of good sauce options. Everything is served on paper plates - super casual. The food did take almost 20 minutes to come out and the restaurant was nearly empty, so that's something to note. Overall a decent place for a snack or meal.

We finally found a place with great schnitzel and the portions were huge comes with coleslaw and fries

Super delicious food. I didn't get to spend much time in Berlin, but I'm very glad I found this place. I feel like I received a great introduction to schnitzel. Some advice: try all of the sauces.

Fresh, fast, cheap and delicous! I love this place! Schnitzel in Berlin? Only there! This dish is perfect. You can choose chicken or pork and so many combination. I always choose the thin piece of pork with french fries and so simple salad. All together it tastes perfect and cost only 5 euro. The location directly at the East Side Gallery. The appearance of this place is not exclusive, but is very clean. I'll always come back to Scheer Schnitzel!

Great schnitzel! I got the veal w/ fried egg w/ potato salad and garlic sauce. I was very satisfied. Would recommend that meal and this place. Cash only!

Great place with great price! We wanted to have lunch somewhere near the metro station. This place was the closest with the highest rating. We decided to check it out. Basically it's very easy to find if you are on the right side of the Warschauer Platz. We circled a bit as we were on the uneven side... could be because of the heavy weekend we had. When we entered the bit alternative looking restaurant, the guy asked us what language we spoke: he gave us an English menu which was very clear and well explained. We went for the double portion. Order at the counter. There were enough tables to sit down and enjoy the posters on the counter and the variety of clients visiting this place. We didn't have to wait long before our number was called. The food was just great: two nice schnitzels, frites, salad and all sauces of the world. The frites were nicely seasoned. We left the place fully stuffed for only 22 EUR with drinks included. We defiantly are coming back here. Thank you for the great service. Ps: loved your music!!

This place is great if you are starving near the East Side Gallery. It really was mediocre schnitzel. Came with soggy fries. Can't beat if you want a quick cheap meal, but like elsewhere in Berlin, you don't go here for the food!

Ordered the mushroom and herb butter schnitzel and I could easily eat that every day for the rest of my life. What a blessing this place is. Praise the food gods

i got the hamburger schnitzel, it comes with fried onions and a fried egg (order this to satisy your yolk porn cravings) the white herbal sauce was so so so delicious with the schnitzel.. the fries weren't anything special but delicious with this orange colored sauce; coleslaw also really good and well seasoned!! would recommend this spot

The schnitzel is breaded a little too thinly, so it can get dry at times. The sauces they provide make it more edible. The fries are amazing though.

Best tartar sauce I've ever had in my life!!! Great atmosphere in the place, and schnitzel hit the spot. More on the crispy dry side than moist fluffy side. But good value for money. But please... the tartar s

Schnitzel is a pretty popular / recommended thing to eat in Germany, so when I saw the yelp page for this place I had to come (especially because I was also near by and it was raining haha). I ordered the schnitzel with mushrooms, and was pretty impressed. The breading to meat ratio was good (not too much breading and not too much meat). The fries were average, but the best part was that they had SO MANY SAUCES!!! (I love sauces). They have mayonnaise, barbecue, garlic, tartar, ketchup, and 2 mustards. My favorite is the garlic sauce. Overall I enjoyed my schnitzel. My only complaint is that they didn't clean all the tables while I was there.

Scheers is a wonderful schnitzel experience! As a student studying abroad in Berlin it gave me a trusty spot I could grab a quick and tasty lunch without breaking the bank! The Jäger was my go-to, but if you're in a hurry you can grab their schnitzel sandwiches (most under 5 euros and they are really fast at making them!) Only 50 meters from the East Side Gallery, and only a couple minutes from the Warschaur bahnhof, makes it a convenient location as well!

Very good Schnitzel in Friedrichshain. The place is small but cozy and comfortable, the right choice if you don't have much time available and just wanna have a snack.

If you're on a quest to eat Schnitzel, this place is a good option. There are many varieties offered including mushroom, chili, and even a fried egg. The schnitzel comes with either fries, salad, or potato salad. If you're not quite sure what to order and have a hard time reading the menu, they do speak english and are very friendly. There's a variety of condiments, lots of seating both indoors and outside. After eating at Scheers Schnitzel, venture to the East Side Gallery nearby.

Schnitzel only place. Perfect after east side galley. One of the best shnitzel i ever ate after vienna. I recommend 100%

Oh man, is this place good! Not touristy, yet welcoming. The Schni Posa is the Schnitz!

Scholid schnitzel schituation. They don't have an English menu but the staff was happy to explain the options to me. I got schnitzel topped with fried egg and a side of their delicious potato salad. Grab yourself a big beer and enjoy the outdoor seating. Scheers!

Doesn't accept cards. Pointed me to an ATM outside (in a rather rude way) which did not accept any of my non-German bank cards.
