What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Goldies Smashburger is celebrated for its expertly crafted smashburgers and creative, generously portioned fries, a testament to its chef-driven origins. While many praise the intense meat flavor and crispy textures, some find the burgers a bit dry or expensive. The atmosphere is often described as a sterile fast-food setting, which is a common point of contention, though the food quality generally makes up for it.
"What to say… you need a shop in Aachen! The travels to Berlin only for the burger is worth it :-) but on the long run it would be easier if you open one in my hometown!
Perfect product - perfect atmosphere - nothing to complain (besides above)."
Dirk Emminger
"No hate here, just not my vibe at all. Came with a friend of mine and they loved the burger. I’m not a fan of American-style burgers, and the cheese really didn’t sit well with me. Choco milk in a can was fun though. Easy and quick self-service at around 18:00 on a Saturday evening, but the interior is sterile and lacks any sort of personality."
Georga Key
"Ordered to take away, the meat flavour was super intense, amazingly crusted, and the truffle mayo gave it an amazing touch, super super recommended for a quick burger, we had it right next to the airbnb and so glad for it, super tasteful.
The service was good but nothing superb, i don’t know if it was a matter of not speaking german or what but not super super friendly."

19 Best Restaurants in Berlin, From Kebab Shops to Tasting Menus
You may wonder why there’s always a line outside this unassuming burger joint near the Kottbusser Brücke (Kottbusser Bridge) in Kreuzberg. But those in-the-know are hip to the fact that two former chefs from one of Germany’s top restaurants, three-Michelin-starred Aqua (in Wolfsburg), create here what many consider to be the best burger in Berlin. The menu promises four smashburger options, in regular, veggie, and vegan versions: Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger (with pickles, onions, ketchup, and mustard), Super Smash Brother (a double cheeseburger with special sauce and salad rather than ketchup and mustard), and Super Smash BLT (essentially a super smash brother with bacon and fried onions added).

In the thumping heart of Kreuzberg you’ll find a pair of highly trained chefs who are on a mission to elevate the humble chip. Meet Kajo Hiesel and Vladislav Gachyn, formerly at Three Michelin-starred Wolfsburg restaurant Aqua, who now fry, and fry again (the second time in beef fat), before loading up their chips with a surprisingly intricate range of toppings, such as ‘Odessa’s Beeten’ (a homage to Vladi’s Ukranian roots) with red beets, dill, horseradish, cabbage and carrot slaw.

Goldie's Burger is an exceptional establishment, founded by two Michelin star chefs, and the newer sister restaurant to the original Goldies fry and chicken shop on Oranienstrasse. Located at the head of Gräfestrasse right off Kottbusserdamm a.k.a. one of the most humming corners of Kreuzkölln, you can treat yourself to one of the finest (if not THE finest) smashburgers in the city while taking in the scene. Each burger is meticulously hand crafted with premium ingredients that ensure an explosion of flavors with every mouthful.

The fry maestros’ burger spinoff takes its cues from the Golden Arches, but its browned, lacy-edged patty, squishy potato bun and homemade pickles are superior in every way.
