Great German Food. We travelled from NW Burbs since many German restaurants have closed in our area and N/NW Chicago. 1st time we've seen Kassler Ripchen on a menu in forever. Big juicy smoked pork chops were fantastic. Excellent Spaetzle and Red Cabbage. I'm a Sauerbraten maven and it was delicious. Tender, moist and great brown gravy. Both dinners had ample portions so we get a lunch out of it too. Wine was reasonably priced. Liver Dumpling soup was so flavorful I drank the broth from the cup. Dumpling was tasty too but firm. Apple Strudel was just ok. Kinda mushy and needed cinnamon. We came on a Saturday at 5pm. Was seated immediately but service is slow but pleasant and the place is super noisy. Hence 4 stars instead of 5. But we'll definitely be back. Drew F. After driving past a zillion times and trying to go during various closed hours, we finally had a meal at Lisle's German HQ, the Bavarian lodge. Quite a spread we sampled. Ordered Pretzel platter & wurst platter, while we decided what to order for main. The kids loved the hot fresh pretzels & mildly spicy mustard. Cheese spread was also served w pretzels. The wurst sampler were sliced thin and paired with a light horseradish cream sauce & the same mustard as pretzel. Tasty stuff. Ordered stuffed cabbage rolls, meatloaf, roast pork. The spetzle was a new noodle experience for the kids, they were hesitant at first but went to town, one had it plain, the other with gravy. Soup of the day was veggie & was also a big hit. Everything was just exceptional. Idk what they did to the warm sauerkraut but wow was it good. I'm guessing butter or another type of fat emulsified into it. Definitely far tastier than the cold Kraut in my home fridge! We also ordered potato pancakes, decadent deep fried treat paired w apple sauce & sour cream. Yum. Ordered too much and a few boxes came home. Service was fast & friendly. Staff worked well together. You should know: your party will not be seated until all guests are present upon arrival. I would definitely return. Megan F. First time trying a German restaurant and we loved everything! Entrees and the sides were delicious and service was quick as well. Nick P. Update 2/14/24 We came here spontaneously close to 8 pm. We had no issues finding parking in the lot, but the lines were hard to see. It would be nice if the lines were either more visible or more lighting. You guys do not need a reservation, believe it or not, not every restaurant has to have a reservation page. We walked in and were immediately seated. Service was amazing. The staff was very attentive and kind. This is a great place for grabbing drinks, they have an extensive beer selection. I wanted to try more of the menu vs the last time. We ordered a bunch of items. -German potato pancakes 5/5 - incredibly moist and flavorful. I added the applesauce and sour cream to pancakes and it increased the flavor. -liver dumpling soup 5/5 - very hearty soup. The meat itself tasted great when paired with the broth. Dumpling was very meaty and juicy. Beef stock was flavorsome. -choose 3: meatloaf, tiroler schnitzel, thuringer, boiled potatoes, garlic buttered corn 5/5 - all 3 kinds of meat were terrific, no complaints. They were beautifully cooked, tender, savory, and filling. All of the sides were tasty. -roast duck: quarter, bread dumplings 5/5 - duck was very juicy on the inside and had a thin, crispy skin. Eat both together and dip in that gravy. -scotch egg 5/5 - first time having this. Hard boiled egg wrapped in sausage mixture. Interesting texture. It was good though. -Apple strudel 5/5 - fresh, warm apples with cinnamon. Pastry dough was soft and delicious. Honestly, once you take a bite you don't want to put the fork down. Steven D. This place is legit in every way from the cozy ambiance, to the amazing German food, to the incredible beer selection. Super friendly staff and pleasant patrons make this place a winner. Rebecca R. Still really good food, good service. Had a bit of a wait this time, but the food was hot, fresh and delicious! This time, all of the sides were excellent, so I'm giving it another star. Matt W. It's a family fav - come for the amazing list of craft beer on top, have the warm Bavarian pretzels as an app, and then order a tasty & delicious entree. I am all in every time on the schnitzel cordon bleu - you get two large schnitzels, mashed potatoes & warm brown gravy, soup/salad, and warm dinner roles. I have never been able to get more than 1 schnitzel & have never considered desert. Others in the fam love the burgers & anything else we have tried. Atmosphere is spectacular- old school - and service is always great. It does suck you can't get a reservation because the wait can often be over 30 min, but that just gives time to have a drink in the great bar & it's worth the wait. Love it!!!
