Editorial Review for Hallo Berlin Cart – by Erin Behan
In Short
There's no mistaking which street cart belongs to Rolf and Wolfgang Babiel--it's the one smelling of delectable sausage with a trailing 20-person line. Ten types of sausage await, among them bratwurst, kielbasa, and knockwurst--and if you're feeling indecisive try the Dictator's Special, which allows no choice whatsoever. Get the sausages sliced and then topped with fried potatoes and a red-wine sauerkraut and fried onions--the mix of toppings forms a tangy sauce to complement the meat.

the food is good, but you have to waste about half hour to get it during your lunch....no cart food or fast food is worth waiting that long for. Also its expensive for street food.
Pros: food
Cons: long wait, price considering its street food

Great place to get lunch when you're not in a rush, or if you're eating a late lunch. The bratwurst, currywurst and smoked-cheese bratwurst are amazing. So are the German fries. The other sausages are also pretty good. It's a tiny bit expensive ($9.00 for a two-sausage combo) but a better deal than many bland lunches which cost about the same. The only drawback is the slow line; it's never really long, it just takes a lot of time for each customer. I've timed it actually, and you can estimate about 2 minutes per person. At peak times there's 10-20 people waiting (20-40 minute wait) but if you go after 2:00 you'll barely have to wait at all.
