Beautiful, sit in the dark cozy room or in back by the windows, and savor the fantastic food and attentive staff. Good was a bit earlier than our usual fare, but the flavors made it worthwhile. Looking forward to many happy returns.
House of Gerhard, a staple in Kenosha since 1964. A literal mixing of supper club and old world German style food, housed inside a rustic building featuring lots of dark wood, cool, kitschy bar related items and lots of twinkle lights. You definitely get the feeling of Old World cool walking into this place. I personally loved the bar area as it really hit the nostalgia "days of yore" sitting in the low bar, swivel seats and watching tons of Grasshoppers and Pink Cadillacs being handmade by the bartenders. We thoroughly enjoyed the servers and hostess, they were very nice, but a bit of advice... the bar is small and the patrons can hear you when you complain about being swamped or how backed up you are... we get it too and sympathize, but we are here for your best, as well... enough about that... on to the food!
We stuck with the German side of things tonight and didn't order the prime rib or fish which, on another visit I would certainly try! We loved the pate served with crusted, seasoned French baguette slices. The kidney bean salad was good, but I wanted a bit more seasoning, however not atypical of a German-style restaurant! We also liked the homemade apple spice muffin and the rolls, but one of our rolls look like it had a bite taken out it, which made me wonder if they were reserving unused rolls and didn't check this one? The clam chowder was decent but felt the chicken broth base was overpowering and really made me question if it wasn't cream of chicken soup. I absolutely loved the spaetzel and the slight pan fry that gave it a good crisp. The schnitzel was good as well and the gravy it came with was on par, flavor-wise! I enjoyed the stroganoff as the beef was tender and easy to shred apart. I wish I had gotten more mushrooms in the sauce, though but it was so good, I wanted to lick the pan! Drinks were decent as well and they make a good Brandy Old Fashioned. The dessert drinks are worth it! I would share one with two people however as they are quite large!
Food, service and atmosphere was fantastic. I had the lamb shank and it was so tender I didn't need a knife. Excellent German beer selection.
Great Supper Club experience! Every single thing was amazingly tasty! The staff were very knowledgeable about the menu, very pleasant and efficient! Best food I have had in years! From the appetizers to dessert everything was top notch, but if you're going to have the mile high dessert ice cream drink, save room, they really ARE mile high! Go and emerse yourself in a true dining experience!
One of the premier German restaurants in the U.S. It’s Family owned in Kenosha. All the food is fresh cooked from scratch. Better than most restaurants in Germany. The Bratwurst and Knockwurst dinner platter with sauerkraut and fresh potatoes and carrots was incredible. It is award winning for a reason. Service was excellent thanks to Beth. The owner came over to check on us and she was a lovely person. Price was very reasonable and portions huge. We were in heaven!!
Authentic German cooking, reminds me of childhood. People are always amazing, food is always great, and beer goes with everything! 😉
Always really friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and specials, and made sure we had enough to drink through out the entire meal! Water never ran dry, and refils on other drinks were offered before we were empty so it would arrive in time. Everything was delicious and definitely worth it! This is why we keep coming back! Thank you Jennifer (our waitress) for making it such a fun evening!
Fantastic flavor and authentic German food. Rouladen and Goulash were so tender no knife needed. Great service. Our Server was attentive and helpful. We loved the old world ambiance and friendly family feel. The quality of food was great for the price along with the service.
