Krista marie ImusJuly 27, 2017Great authentic German food w/ live polka & a stand by magician.If you order any of the schnitzels, ask for a side of gravy.Skip the fries and ask for German potatoes. The pretzel is huge & delicious
Food NetworkAugust 4, 2014Guy enjoyed the "big flavor" and tenderness of the sauerbraten and the rindsrouladen, a beef roll. Loyal customers enjoy the liver dumpling soup and listening to the live polka band. Read more
Rick SabatinoFebruary 10, 2013Get the boot of beer and a pretzel to start. The schwein schnitzel is good. If the have the smoked pork and bacon sausage special, definitely go for it.
Kenneth IlioNovember 3, 2013This is not like the hoity-toity piss elegant little cafés that people line up for hours like the one across the street. If you want unpretentious more Bavarian than in Germany meal, this is it!
There is a off the menu fried pork shank that you should try. I love their spätzle!
Jake SmithMay 24, 2013If you order the pretzel, use the butter provided to lightly flavor it before consumption. It adds a whole level of deliciousness.
Tip from the mayor food is good best is the pork shank. Say hi to Kiki and Christine and make it to Oktoberfest!!!!
Karen Culp WenzelmaierDecember 21, 2014Everything! Very authentic German food. It's the place we always go when we come to Chicago!
The spaetzle and gravy is my favorite side dish. Plus, the Bavarian pretzel is a must.
The FeastJune 9, 2011Something comforting to look forward to in the colder months and the ultimate the recipe for comradery: giant beers, brats, and live polka music flooding the dance floor.
Heather ByersOctober 3, 2011Mustard, das boot, dessert & german rod stewart silver fox made it a place I will likely frequent. Love the atmosphere.
Kevin ZimmermanApril 28, 2017Great ambiance. Good beer and awesome menu. What else is there? Love it.
Kaitlyn KiernanFebruary 3, 2013All I remember is an older rod stewart and trying to fly our paper airplanes in to our delicious hofbraus. So overall, great place.
DANK HausApril 19, 2012Hackepeter! No other will do. Make sure if you are in a group you snag the first piece of sunflower bread to schmear your tartare on
Das boot! Live polka, a great time. Come for a birthday party.
venessa tarbellNovember 17, 2011I don't care much for the food, but I haven't sampled much of it so take that with a grain of salt. I come for the beer, the music, and the atmosphere.
Annie KellyMay 17, 2012Live music every night. Bring a date, and if you don't want to dance, watch the cute older couples who are.
MichelleOctober 19, 2013Food is meh and the service is sooooooo sloooooow especially the tall blond waitress!!! There's better German places in Chicago

Jace MouseNovember 13, 2009Try the German Pretzel and a liter of Stiegl beer. Top if off by dancing to the Polka Band.
