The Berghoff Restaurant - German restaurant in Chicago - 17 W Adams St, USA

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.

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!!!

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!!!

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.

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.

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'.

One of my Dad’s cousins married a Berghoff back in 1960. I’ve read quite a lot about the history of this restaurant and have always wanted to try it out. Living in Phoenix delayed that a quite a bit! On a recent trip to Chicago I stopped in for a solo dinner. I had some of their root beer which is very good. My entree was a delicious chicken schnitzel topped with marinara and a side of creamed spinach. Dessert was yummy cheese cake drizzled with caramel sauce. I was there early so it wasn’t too busy. The wait staff was attentive and the atmosphere was definitely old school with lots of beautiful wood paneling. The Berghoff is an iconic piece of Chicago history and I am happy I had the chance to dine there. 👍
