Berghoff

It's a great place, good food, drink and a place of relaxation, I love it. more

They catered my wedding event at South Shore Cultural Center -- from the first meeting, they were very attentive and were happy to work with me on finding the best menu to feed 180 people within our budget. They made great suggestions and made us feel very comfortable -- they really know how to ask the right questions for planning purposes. Whenever I needed to contact them, they responded promptly and with enthusiasm. The day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly -- the guests loved the food; they followed the wedding schedule promptly; everything looked fantastic and professional and was delicious! They were the best! Pros: Great food and wonderful service more

Delicious! Pros: great wait staff, good food more

Thinking that the German food on the menu might be limited but good, we stopped for dinner at the ""new"" Berghoff. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!!!. The food costs 2X as much ( main course was smaller and more expensive and you have to pay extra for each side dish) and not as good. Do not be tempted to go there. The restaurant was practically empty and for good reason. What a shame. Doesn't the Berghoff woman get it? Cons: 2X as expensive as it used to be more

I feel privileged to say that I was there for lunch when the Berghoff closed its doors for the last time. Whether it was the cafe, the bar, or the actual restuarant, the Berghoff family really did German cuisine (and beers) right. I LOVED just about everything about the place in the short time I would come around for lunch or a quick beer before heading home. I even bought as much memorabilia as I could (including about 3 bottles of whisky) because of the history this place possessed. Now that although the building still remains and the place is now a catering company and the cafe portion has opened up once again, for me, it has just lost its ""flare"". It will NEVER be as good as it was when the entire place was standing. Sure the cafe still somewhat ""carries"" the Berghoff name and serves the ""same"" German food as the old cafe did, it's as almost as if the place is trying to hold onto something that is already gone, and sadly missed by everyone in Chicago. I do applaude them for trying to hold onto the Berghoff tradition, but without the bar or the restaurant (which was the heart of it all), all that's left is an empty shell of its former glorific self. I hope one day the place can be resurected becuase it is not that easy finding German cuisine that matched this place. Not Chicago Brauhaus or Glunz Bavarian Haus can come close. Pros: Still can find good fast German food, occupies the Famous Berghoff restaurant, close to all the train lines Cons: Not as legendary as it used to be more

Fantastic!!!! Says it all. Great food, fantastic service and the staff is the best, our event was perfect and the people made it that way!!!! more

we intended to dine on german food here. if you call sausages german, then you can find an item on the menu. otherwise, it's mainly american food with a european ""flair"". and ""flair"" isnt necessarily good. my sausages (i went for the german food since that what id expected...) were banal. the spaetzle dry. i think next time, i would pass and go for real german food in ravenwood instead. saving a historical restaurant for the sake of history is not always a great idea... Pros: location, prompt service Cons: food is mediocre at best more

Amazing German dishes and simple American dishes for the less adventurous. Their desserts are incredible--spice cheesecake, chocolate rasberry cake, apple strudel. Delicious! The brats and German potato salad are some of the best I ever tasted. Great with large groups, perfect for a business lunch or even a date. Try the root beer or the diet root beer, it is the best i have ever tasted! Pros: GREAT FOOD! Cons: Parking more
