🇩🇪 Berlin Pork Knuckle Bible [UPDATING]

A quest to crown Berlin's best Schweinshaxe! 🏆 🍖 The Rankings (Personal Verdict) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Top Tier 🍴 Tiergarten-Quelle 📍 *S-Bahnbogen 482* 💬 "Local legend!" Massive portions, crispy skin, €12 for half-knuckle. No tourists, just pure Gemütlichkeit. 🍴 Zur Haxe 📍 *Erich-Weinert-Straße 128* 💬 "Hidden family-run gem." Tender meat, homestyle sides, and zero pretension. 🍴 Restaurant Maximilians 📍 *Friedrichstraße 185-190* 💬 "Touristy but tasty." Best crackling if you tolerate forced tips (10%!). ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mid Tier 🍴 Hofbräu Wirtshaus 📍 *Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 30* 💬 "Bavarian chain vibe." Decent, but Munich does it better. 🍴 Mutter Hoppe 📍 Rathausstraße 21 💬 "Budget-friendly classic." Solid, not stellar. 🍴 Lindenbräu 📍 Potsdamer Platz 💬 "For convenience." Edible but forgettable. ⚠️ Skip These 🍴 Zur letzten Instanz 📍 *Waisenstraße 14-16* 💬 "Oldest ≠ best." Tourist trap with dry meat. 🍴 Brauhaus Georgbräu 📍 Spreeufer 4 💬 "River views, mediocre food." 🎄 Special Mention 🍴 Alexanderplatz Christmas Market 💬 "Haxe in a blizzard = core memory." €9 with extra Berliner Luft (aka freezing wind). #BerlinEats #PorkKnuckleQuest #GermanFood
