Welcome to Berlin, EU. In the heart of one of the main European capital cities, when it comes time to pay you are told that "foreign cards are not accepted". Seriously? Sure, the owner set the rule, waiters say. So the untrustworthy foreigner (me) had no choice but to walk to the closest ATM and withdraw cash, so that the owner has enough to fill his tub and enjoy the rustle of notes when taking a bath (honestly, I have no other possible more rational explanation). Needless to say I will not return to this place, just hope the waiters will find a better job soon, where they won't be forced to explain the ridiculous house rules to astonished customers.
Ps the sticker on the door (in German, see the picture) just says "Please note that only cash or EC card payments are possible, we do not accept credit cards". Nothing is written about...

I also read a review that said they only take cash, this is also not the case.*
As one person commented, I agree that they have some of the best German food that I've found in Berlin. I just wish that they had some Sauerbraten or Rouladen on the menu.
Otherwise, it does get busy and service can be a bit slow at times, but relax, that's normal, plus it's a garden of beer...
Read moreWithout doubt the worst restaurant experience! Very unfriendly, incompetent and at at times even aggressive staff. Not only did we have to wait more than 1½ on our food, and when it finally came only 2 out of 4 our four dishes arrived leaving the rest of us waiting for another 30 minutes before getting our food. Fair enough, that can happen, but when it happens at Heuberger you will moreover be treated with unfriendliness, rudeness and staff throwing your payment at you - all in front of children! Management also don't seems to care. Bottom line: An utter disgrace. Basic...
