Best Beer Gardens in Elmwood Park

Always enjoy the meals at Edelweiss! Tried the German meatloaf for the first time today and enjoyed it greatly. Though the Oktoberfest Bienenstich is my favorite dessert, the regularly offered desserts never disappoint, like today’s Apfelstrudel.

We had eaten dinner at The Publican many times, but this was our first time having brunch. We shared sweet and savory dishes including the waffle, the shrimp and grits, and chicken schnitzel. All were delicious! A side of PBQ breakfast sausage was tasty, too. I highly recommend checking out this spot for brunch.

Fast, efficient service between the waiter and food runners. Good brew selection. The porters were thin and watered down; I was looking for more full body. Settled on a tasty scotch ale. The brussel sprouts were the best I’ve had with an amazing miso butter. The cheese selection was delectable, but the bite size square pieces were annoying to use with the crostini; I would have preferred thin slices to pair with the perfectly toasted crostini. The short rib entree was amazing and would definitely reorder on my next visit.

The food and service were excellent! We got jalapeño cheese curds, fish tacos, Big Mic, chicken cesar wrap and burger of the month....everything was delicious! They also have a happy hour, which we are definitely going to come back for!

Wanted to try curling as we were in Chicago for Christmas We really enjoyed the food, drinks, and the curling
