The Berghoff Restaurant

Martha a month ago

The food was good, the service was solid, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Everything was just good but not outstanding. I had the German gnocchi and it was tasty but desperately needed some bread to go with it. It was very saucy. I didn't realize I could have ordered a breadbasket appetizer, although as one person that was probably more than I needed. But in any case, the server did not come back until I was finished with my meal. I probably would not go back to this restaurant on my own but if I was with somebody that wanted to go I wouldn't mind trying something else.

Popped in here on a Saturday afternoon super hungry and thirsty after spending a couple of hours at the art museum. We were seated right away and food and water came out fast which we really appreciated. We tried the bratwurst and the spaetzle and really enjoyed both. Would definitely come back.

Bright and cozy atmosphere. The staff are very friendly. The food is delicious and the portions are just right. The pan-fried pork chop is tender, and the fried chicken cutlet has a crispy exterior. The German-style gnocchi is quite unique. This feels like a popular restaurant frequented by locals. Recommended.

Considered the oldest family-owned restaurant in the US, the Berghoff has a lot of rich history. I went while it was decorated for Christmas and it was gorgeous. I tried the Lemon Tortellini, first time I had that dish, and now I want to learn how to make it at home. So delicious! I also enjoyed the non-alcoholic “Cozy Blanket” mocktail. I could drink that all day. I’m not always into German restaurants, but this was definitely a great find!!

Had dinner last night and the traditional German plates at Chicago’s oldest restaurant were amazing. We were seated and ordered their Adams Street Brewery drinks and the bread basket appetizer which included their homemade rye bread. Our server, Marsha, was so attentive—a joy! My Veiner Schnitzel pan fried veal cutlet with creamed spinach over spatzle was delicious. Family had the sausage trio-bratwurst, knockwurst and smoked Thuringer, along with a side of sauerkraut. If you wish to dine be aware that they close at 8pm! Definitely will be back.
