   I had the Sauerbraten, which is "marinated roasted beef sirloin, sweet and sour gravy, asparagus, green beans, mashed potatoes" and it was absolutely incredible! and for $25.95, an incredible deal! We arrived at 5pm and it was wonderfully quiet! When more people arrived, and it became full, it was still relatively quiet! I highly recommend family owned, wonderful Berghoff's!

   Not the Berghoff of yesteryear… Service average. Wiener schnitzel over priced and tasteless.

   we were trying to make it to a play in the evening. Had a wonderful waiter who got her food out right away. The food was absolutely delicious, better than I remembered it. Will definitely come back.

   Excellent elevated German food! Definitely try the potato pancakes and the fried green tomato stack!

   We’ve lived in chicago for over 10 years and wanted to try this restaurant after seeing the CSO. Overall underwhelming food. Our server was super nice, fast, efficient while the food was just ok. Cheese curds were fine, I’ve had much better. Veal schnitzel was crispy and juicy, spatzel was not hot and the creamed spinach looked and tasted like is was sitting dished up in a hot box all day. Goulash was ok with flavor, the meat was very tender. Space is great for a big family or group. We probably won’t go back.

   We had a mid-day meal, ordering wienerschnitzel and substituting spaetzle and red cabbage for the printed sides. Our waitress was accommodating. She was a "vintage waitress" who added to the charm of the restaurant. The food was reasonably priced, but a little disappointing. The red cabbage was wonderful, the spaetzle a little boring/unseasoned. The veal was somewhat dry, but the excellent dill pickles cut through the dryness. A glass of Kendall Jackson Chardonnay ($15) was a good choice. The bill, per person with tip, was about $55. It was easy access from our hotel, which made it an appealing choice.

    The Berghoff is iconic! It never disappoints. There is a variety to choose from and the shareable are great!
