Leo BonaventuraOctober 24, 2014The food and the service were fantastic. Always a pleasure to eat here...
Make sure you make reservations for Saturday lunch or you may have a long wait.
Jillian BurnickasApril 6, 2017It's hard to say no to beer and soft pretzels. They do a out of live music.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleAugust 2, 2011For a quick lunch, try a sandwich or a wurst from the Berghoff Café on the lower level of this elegant tea room. -- Green Guide Editor
Angelica DongalloMay 14, 2014I have a hard time making decisions, so the beer sampler was just my style
Dana De la vegaDecember 1, 2013Tiffany is a great bartender. Great personality and really good at her job.
Becky DDecember 8, 2011Amazing beer! Warm and friendly atmosphere at the bar, look for Matais, amazing service!!!
Dan McMillanSeptember 27, 2014Food was great. The beer was just ok though the atmosphere makes up for it.
Giuseppe MMay 20, 2014We ordered a berhoff burger and a wiener schnitzel. While the burger was ok, the schnitzle was probably fried in the same oil they use to fry fish: It had a taste of fried squid.
chipotle chicken sandwich is the best and probably the cheapest sandwich they have. Also the only sandwich that comes with a side of chips!
Melissa Roccos-HooperJanuary 18, 2012The turkey BLT on rye was awesome! Make sure to try the amber beer.
Tayla Thurgaland GibbsSeptember 5, 2011Old German place. Very cool. beautiful woodwork and great food!

Berghoff ChicagoAugust 20, 2010The Berghoff Cafe is in the lower level of the Berghoff Restaurant! Quick, casual, cafeteria-style dining.
You need to get the corned beef hash as a meal or a side.
Keilon LawrenceMay 29, 2013The bratwust could use quite a bit more flavor, but luckily there was spicy brown mustard to save it. Chips are good though
dont forget to check in for a free glass of root beer.
