I had the pot roast. It did not disappoint. It was terrific! The asparagus and carrots were fresh and cooked just right along with mashed potatoes to share in the pot roast gravy. The amount of food was just right to fill me up. Along with a German Pilsner beer on tap I had a wonderful dinner. I sat at the bar and both bartenders were very personable. Learned some interesting stories about the history of the restaurant and can’t wait to go back!
Not quite the same as the place was before closing, but food was great, Wienerschnitzel, Sauerbraten, cream spinach, spaetzle. Portions a bit small for the price. Service was very good,
We had the best time yesterday. The restaurant was all decked out for Christmas and looked beautiful. We had the Pot Roast, Pork Chop, Perogies and Bavarian Pretzel. It was a wonderful meal. Not a bad thing on the table. The Apple Strudel was the perfect end. It's a great historical landmark in Chicago with great food. You should definitely give it a go!!
Great food great Bier! Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend this to everyone! Prost!
Stopped prior to seeing Hamilton. Sat at the bar and Kandy took excellent care of us. Started with a great pretzel and moved on to the sausage platter. Great sides of German potato salad, sauerkraut; red cabbage and creamed spinach. The Alexander Hamilton cocktail was delicious. Food and atmosphere were all that I remembered from previous visits. Great big thanks to Kandy.
Excellent food. Incredible atmosphere. I felt like I was back in a restaurant in Bavaria. Highly recommend!
Excellent place to stop for either a huge cold beer and a massive pretzel or a full blown dinner and a huge cold beer always a good time

the stuffed mushrooms are the best i’ve ever had .. the servers were very helpful with giving us food recommendations in the city . i have no complaints
My husband try the beer he like it. I try the rueben sandwich it was good. Esther treat us like family. It was a monday so they closed the restaurant early and we have to order everything quickly.
Absolutely amazing- the dessert omg must have dessert no matter how full you are
Classy bar and restaurant with clear German influence. The berghoff beer is very authentic worth a try. Although some things lost a bit the touch to the German original, it is a heartwarming place to eat and drink.
Amazing food! The Rahm Schnitzel and the Sauerbraten are amazing!! Highly recommend!!!
I went to Chicago in April and I still think about that food sometimes. It is peak comfort food. Wraps you like a warm blanket after a cold rain. The food is what I imagine a grandma would cook (I don’t have a German grandma but I picture her cuisine just like that). I had most awesome soup, great cocktail and just enjoyed every bite. This doesn’t happen too often to me but I just fell in love with that place. Would want to go back to Chicago just to go there again.
Great place! Authentic German food. Super cool atmosphere and history. The entire Staff was exceptional. Restaurant was clean and has so much history to it. Def recommend it was phenomenal!! Def recommend getting reservations as well it was packed when we arrived and when we left luckily we had reservations. Great spot!!!
Very good authentic style German food. The pork was great. It had a nice smoked flavor and the sausage was bold. The Wiener schnitzel was good as well with a buttery finish. The interior of the place had a very timely and old world feel to it. The different beers from the attached brewery are worth trying in one of their four beer flights.
Such a unique restaurant with great story. We absolutely loved everything the ordered. My wife couldn't get over how moist the black forest cake was. My schnitzel was SO good and my son just loved the chicken soup. We all can't wait to come back to Chicago to come back to Berghoffs!!!
I used to have dinner here with my cousin anytime I was in the City but haven't been there since he passed away. Today, my colleagues and I had lunch there and it was as great as I remember. The food was delicious, the atmosphere festive and although it was busy, the service was pretty good.
Great dinner. First course was the bacon wrapped jumbo shrimp. Awesome. Great cocktails. Bread order came with 3 breads and a giant cheese crisp. I had the beef medallions rare with fingerling roast potatoes and grilled asparagus. Very good. Service was great and would definitely come back. Highly recommend. Beef was a tad chewy at rare temp. Probably grilled teres major medallions. Would eat again probably mid rare next time. My waiter was Christopher J and he did a great job.
Nice atmosphere with no overtly loud music. Very friendly staff! The pierogies were delectable. The plank salmon was ok. The beer battered cod was good except mine had bones in it still. The fries were crisp and delicious. Excellent tartar sauce and vegetables. Good prices. Orange juice was 'from frozen'.
Ordered Weiner schnitzel with 2 sunny eggs and sausage trio entrees and they arrived quickly. Schnitzel was delicious and recommend with the eggs. Didn't like the anchovies though lol. The sausage platter was great with semi mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. Diet root beer was tasty but it's been so long that I hadn't tried and can't remember if it's supposed to be carbonated as this one wasn't. The server was so friendly and gave a brief background of the long standing family restaurant. Craft beer is from next door Adams Brewery.
Was seated without reservations on an early dinner Saturday night but it appears many patrons did make them and were seated on the more open spacious side. Weird neon lights from the brewing display threw off the colors on my photos. Restrooms downstairs.
Am always delighted by the Berghoff. The German food is both authentic and tasty to the service is first rate, and the old world atmosphere delights. Very cool that Chicago's heirloom German restaurant has been operated by the same family for 4 generations. We love this place!
Amazing restaurant! The quality of the food was fantastic and so delicious. The decor inside was so classy and clearly had history.
We had an extremely kind server, Esther, who was so patient with our order and even helped us out when we spilt our drink everywhere. Would love to visit again.
