Wow the portions are good size but vary from what you order is soup is very small the main is just huge. Hunters schnitzel was amazing and you get 2 of them in the plate ;] also great beer selection .

Todd Norris

Try the Triple Schnitzel Platter - German spinach is great with bacon and a little cream, schnitzel are all just awesome, spaetzle is also very good (via @Foodspotting)

Tom Nawara

With such a tremendous selection, it's hard to pick just one (or two or three). Remember that you can order a 5oz sampler of just about any of their beers - try more in a single visit!

Time Out Chicago

While the Lodge is beer-heavy, featuring a rotating selection of German and Belgian craft brews , meads and Trappist ales , its Dark and Stormy cocktail is one of the best in or outside the city . Read more

Jason Kopplin

They have a ton of great beers on top (and bottles/cans too). The Scotch Egg & Duck Wings appetizers were both interesting & pretty good. They have a great selection of German food .

Joseph Principe

Tons of Belgian, German, other European and North American, even Australian beer selections plus authentic Bavarian foods. Beer selections change seasonally.

Dave Olverson

Important place for beer lovers . Yes, great German beers offered, but they don't stop there. American craft brews are present as well . Make sure to chat up your server as they know their stuff!
