    Edelweiss serves up some of the best authentic German food and beer in the Chicago area. Everyone enjoyed their meal! You Must try the sauerkraut croquettes appetizer. The beer pretzels are huge and delicious. Truly the best German food that we’ve had in a long time.

    Edelweiss restaurant never disappoints, we have been coming here for decades and always pleased. The Edelweiss platter and the Weiner Schnitzel. This was the last day of their Oktoberfest celebration, and the entertainment was very festive. Edelweiss is our go to German restaurant. We will be back!

    A very lively and unique experience! Very authentic atmosphere and delicious, German food. I am a fan of soft pretzels and theirs is Epic! (Kinda wished the cheese dipping sauce was warm though.) The honey mustard dipping sauce was delicious! The dishes we tried were all very yummy! Lots of families and regulars here (you can tell people keep returning for generations!), but we still felt very welcome for first timers. The Band was fun and lively and the Alphorn was a hoot! My Swiss great grandparents and grandfather would have loved it!

    We were there for a midweek lunch. Order the Bavarian pretzel as an appetizer – it’s fabulous and comes with a cheese sauce and a honey mustard. Both of our entrées were delicious and plentiful – enough to take home for leftovers. One of the few remaining German restaurants in Chicago– let’s keep it open!

    Elizabeth was our Server and she was outstanding to all our needs. She explained the drink and food menu and was very patient with my group of 5 women. All meals were served quickly (once we decided what we wanted) and so was our coffee and dessert. We were celebrating a birthday so we had a complimentary brownie which was served with whip cream. Elizabeth is definitely an asset to Edelweiss!! Delicious food and drinks all around. She also served our bottle of wine when needed.

    We have visited Edelweiss during the past fourteen years for Octoberfest. As always, the food was excellent and the entertainment by Alpine Thunder was great. However, the service ruined the evening. This was not the fault of our server. She explained they were short staffed. It appears that she had to cover almost half of the restaurant with the help of a few busboys. The restaurant was full of many large parties. It took almost 15 minutes to place our drink order and another 10 minutes for the for drinks to arrive. Dinner dragged on for a full two hours. For a German restaurant to have no contingency plan for adequate wait staff on Saturday evening during Octoberfest is the definition of poor management.
