The Berghoff Restaurant - Chicago (IL)

4 /5 ImAS: 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.

5 /5 Sinem Altunbas: The Berghoff Restaurant is such a cute, happy, and welcoming place. It’s always like that, but especially at Christmas time. The chicken schnitzel is wonderful, the pretzel is delicious, and the Black Forest cake is a must. The service is truly amazing, friendly, attentive, and it makes the whole experience even better. We always come back for a lovely dinner whenever we’re in Chicago, and it never disappoints!

3 /5 Adam Trinkel: We were excited to visit and had reservations 30 days in advance. When we arrived they said they didn’t have our reservation (it could’ve been an error on our part). We asked for suggestions from the server and she said to read the menu. We ordered the roast beef sandwich, turkey, turkey BLT, sausage trio, and the deconstructed chicken cordon bleu. Everything was okay. We ordered the pretzel appetizer (delicious) and the perogies (good, but pricy). We went in the early evening. Restroom was clean. We probably wouldn’t return, but the atmosphere was decorated for the holidays.

5 /5 Marty C.: Great German food. We were visiting for work in the area and stopped in for lunch. I got the ASB burger which was phenomenal. So good we went back for dinner later that week and I tried the meatloaf, but it was not quite as good as the burger. The meatloaf could have been more firm, but instead was a bit mushy. Potatoes were great, carrots and asparagus were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The beer was definitely the star of the evening. They brew their own beer as well.

5 /5 Erica Fuller: 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!!
