Editorial Review for Hallo Berlin Express – by Joshua M. Bernstein
In Short
This quick-serve branch of Rolf Babiel's expanding empire of German sausages, schnitzel and pickled veggies fills the middle ground between street cart and sit-down restaurant, with about 30 seats sandwiched into a slender room decorated with colorful snapshots of Germany and flat-screen TVs. Babiel's grub remains gloriously unhealthy, with kielbasa, bratwurst and knockwurst served on crusty buns capped with onions, kraut and coarse-grain mustard--a rich, greasy mess best chased with a mug of cool lager.
Hits: Your arteries will slow to a delicious crawl after overdosing on crisp, savory sausages loaded with sauerkraut and sided with German brewskis.
Misses: Forget that famed German efficiency and the restaurant's name: You'll wait and wait for a single sausage served by a surly counterman.
