Berliner Kindl German Restaurant

It was our first time trying this German restaurant and it was so good! The schnitzel was very tender and flavorful. The potato pancakes were bomb. Not to mention the hugee slice of German chocolate cake for dessert. Very sweet and yummy. 10/10 would recommend.

Like coming home. As a kid, I always looked forward to visiting Oma and Opa each summer in Kircheim. Nothing tasted as good as eating my Oma’s delicious Linzer Torte, or Opa’s spaetzle, schnitzel and mushroom gravy. The reviews said Berliner Kindl was authentic and I couldn’t agree more. Both of our meals were beyond delicious. The atmosphere was authentic and our wait staff was attentive and ensured our food came out quickly and hot. We also ordered the Black Forest cake that was moist with a healthy portion of chocolate and cherries.
For those Schwabs out there, order the potatoes instead of the potato said, which is made with bacon. Obviously a regional preference. Nevertheless, this will be my go to spot for a taste of home when we are staying in Morganton and Lake James area.

I loved this place! My schnitzel, spatzel, and potatoes were delicious, and the sausage and Reuben my family ordered also tasted amazing. All the sides compliment the dishes perfectly. We had a nice server who quickly came over and got a lager for us when we asked (we were halfway through our meal, not just ordering drinks). The atmosphere is wonderful. It reminds me of my German grandparents' old home, with many similar furnishings, and was very calm and nice. We're still waiting to try the slice of cheesecake we took out, but we suspect it will be delicious.

The best German food I've had in the US. I've been to many different German restaurants trying to get the same taste that I remember while being in Germany 🇩🇪 while in the Army. This place is amazing with authentic flavors. The schnitzel and potato salad is addicting. My 9yr old is picky yet she loved her Reuben. The staff was very friendly and attentive. This is a must try!!

Love love love this place. We stop here whenever we come through the area. Excellent food and selection. The red cabbage is so yummy! I had the Bouletten. My husband had the spicy brats. The cucumber salad is absolutely delicious. The only thing I did not like was the spaetzle. It was different than I’ve had before at other German restaurants. They used a different kind of egg noodle and used pork as part of the recipe. I prefer plain butter spaetzle.

I don’t even know where to start! Our server (Kat?) was one of the best we’ve ever had - and the food, wow!
We’d never eaten at a German restaurant, everything was unique and delicious!
The apple strudel I could eat every night it was so good!

My German husband was elated. It had all our favorites. German potato salad, krauts and the cucumber salad was great. Not to mention the brats. Will definitely come back.

Potato pancakes were perfectly fried and not greasy. Both the Veal and pork schnitzel were tender and crispy on the outside. The sausages were all very good. The Veal sausage was different in texture but tasty. The German potato salad is served cold but was very good. It had chopped pickles, which was unexpected, but worked well with the richness of the chunks of bacon. They also have a little shop with candy, and packaged goods, as well as deli meats and sausages for sale. The little town has lots of great shops and places to explore that are all easily walkable. Highly recommend stopping for lunch

The schnitzel, sauerkraut & red cabbage are excellent. Our server, Sharon, was very helpful with food and wine recommendations. Her service was fast, efficient and friendly. She really made our experience memorable.

The staff was friendly, the little space is very classic old-German, down to the oak wood tables and Bavarian landscapes on the wall.

It was lunch, so I ordered the schnitzel sandwich with potato salad. Everything was well prepared, the tomatoes and lettuce were bright and fresh, the bun was soft, the schnitzel was properly thin. I did need to remind myself that the portions align with German portions, not American. And I did move the pickle to the side.

Not expensive, not inexpensive, though I do wish the menu had a beer cheese/fondue, though yes I know that's not a thing in the summer. maybe they have it in winter.

The cakes looked good but I didn't try them.

The storefront was completely unassuming. The food however....totally the opposite. The lemon schnitzel was incredibly delicious and the beer was so good. Topped it off with the Kahlua mousse torte and OH MAN was it amazing. All in all, 5 stars for the top notch service and food.

On vacation in Asheville and went for a hike - needed a place for lunch and we found this gem!! So glad we tried it as all the food was delicious and just the home made meal we needed after a morning hiking. We tried the schnitzel, german fried potatoes & the cucumber salad - all were amazing. The staff was very friendly; restrooms and restaurant were clean. They have german beer and some german chocolate. Their fresh cakes in the window look amazing! Will be coming back to try some dessert. Come try this restaurant - you will get a home made meal and won't be disappointed!

This place is excellent. Clean, cozy, super friendly staff and tasty food at reasonable prices. I got the veal piccata and it was so good! Potato salad is perfect and desserts are also amazing. Don’t skip dessert!

A must have on your foodie list for Black Mountain! For authentic German food, come here! The food is excellent and the service is so welcoming, you won't want to leave. Highly recommend.

OMG did we love this place! The maitre'd and staff are Amazingly friendly. The décor is really really pretty. Wienerschnitzel bratwerst red cabbage and potatoes All cooked to perfection and delicious taste We had the 3 Berry tart for dessert and that was warm with whipped cream And also Delicious We will definitely come back here

Wonderful spot!! The food was absolutely delicious and came out quickly. The seating area is very cozy and homey. Every staff member we interacted with was an absolute delight. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area.

Me and my friend visited here on our motorcycles. For the first time today. it was an excellent experience special thanks to Kim in the rest of the lovely staff.
The food was delicious.

What an incredible find! Looks like just a quaint bakery from the front but it is a full German restaurant with all kinds of sausage, schnitzel, and mouth watering German sides like sauerkraut, red cabbage, and my favorite: German potato salad. The interior is very warm and welcoming with heavy wooden furniture, wall alcoves with geraniums, festive pennants and paintings of the German countryside. Tiramisu was on point. Staff is super friendly including our waitress Patty, hostess Renée and owner Sharon!! A must-stop while in Black Mountain.

The food was delicious. The schnitzel and spatzel were delicious. Highly recommend visiting here for lunch or dinner at least once. Great family style atmosphere

The schnitzel and spetzl were great, the potatoes were cooked well but I wasn't a huge fan of the spice on them, but that's just personal preference. They also have a good German beer selection. The portion in the picture is a half portion, I was splitting the entree.
