"Yes it serves burgers, and yes it's run by Americans, but the Bird, overlooking a corner of Mauerpark in Prenzlauer Berg, is more than just an expat burger joint–-it serves some of the best burgers in Berlin, and it's one of the few spots where "rare" actually means pink and juicy on the inside."

"A New York-style steakhouse, you can’t go to Berlin and not have a meat feast in The Bird. Everything is made from scratch in house – including sauces – and the beef burgers use meat that’s been dry-aged for a period of 30 days, making the beef more tender and concentrated in flavor."

Per Meurling

"The stars of the Bird experience are the burgers, they differ a lot from what you get in other places starting with the fact that they are made from high-quality steak meat which is ground on-site in the Bird kitchen. The result is an exceptional meat patty which is very compact, extremely juicy and packed with flavor."

"The Bird is without a doubt the most prolific burger joint in Berlin, and it’s easy to understand why. This is not for the faint-hearted, with large patties and an unorthodox bun. The meat was really tasty, and the fries were a real treat with a nice crispiness and excellent flavor. A must-visit if you’re in the German capital and want a juicy and hearty hamburger."

"Booking is highly recommended if you want to eat there, but the burgers there are damn tasty. There you can eat your burger in a soft muffin bun instead of the classic one, which is slightly less fulfilling. The Dr. Zian burger is made with premium German beef, Stilton cheese, and heavenly melty cheese, in all simplicity. The meat is tasty and very tender, the cheese very melty."

The Culture Trip

"10 Unmissable Burger Joints in Berlin: The Bird - Arguably one of the most iconic burger joints in Berlin, The Bird now has three successful restaurants, but its flagship in Prenzlauer Berg is the one to visit for the full experience. It built its reputation on the exceptional quality of its meat, made from coarsely ground, dry-aged American beef, all served in an English muffin."

James Lees

"When we say that the beef here is juicy, we really mean it. In fact, after a few bites, everything else that’s sandwiched between the bun will be absolutely drenched in burger juice. The intensely flavorful beef, lashings of burger juice, gloopy American cheese, mustard and fried onions created a taste combination quite unlike any other that we’ve had in recent memory. This was so juicy and so messy that I almost felt wrong for eating it."

Time Out Berlin

"Get stuck at one of the large chunky tables for a long-haul meaty experience. The Bird’s burgers are mighty: 250g of freshly minced meat is smothered in molten cheese and caramelized onions, with a toasted English muffin, perched jauntily atop the sloppy pile. Alongside this glistening beauty lies an enormous pile of hand-cut fries, one of the restaurant’s highlights."

Christ Foster

"We’re huge fans of their burgers and use of English muffins for buns."

A gem of a burger joint that has almost morphed into a religious experience, The Bird is tough to rival. This American dive bar/restaurant takes pride in their meat - German sourced beef for their burgers - and their place on the pedestal is well deserved. Their towering burgers are built on English muffin buns, and the cheesy, greasy center is sure to seize you in your seat, at least while you're working on the huge portions of homemade fries, salad and pickles."
