Schnitzel Platz - Glendale Heights

Beer was a little expensive and food could have come faster but it's a good restaurant with reasonably priced, mostly very good food. I've never been to Germany so I can't speak to it's authenticity but I enjoyed myself there.

I’m sure this place has very good German food and the aromas from the kitchen were devine. However when we got there we found that almost everything is either cooked in lard and/or has pork in it. Sadly we don’t eat pork or any bi-products of pork. We were really disappointed as we really wanted to try the food. The place is very clean, waitstaff friendly and has really authentic German menu. I gave it a 4 for ambience, cleanliness, service, and German authenticity.

We really enjoyed a lunch at Schnitzel Platz during Oktoberfest season. They had great draft beer options and the potato pancakes were a hit. We also ordered a large pretzel with the beer cheese and that was also very good. The German salad was great with the bratwurst sandwich. All in all it felt like a very genuine German experience and made us feel like we were back in Germany!

There is only one Platz. I grew up nearby and always make a stop while in Chicago. Excellent food and ridiculous music during oktoberfest. Well worth a trip. Docked a star for tired interior and limited german beer selection

A very fun atmosphere with really really good German food. I went with a friend and while I didn 't have a big appetite I decided to order a side potato salad and the sauerkraut balls as an appetizer. The potato salad was the best I have ever had, beating another great German restaurant in downtown San Antonio. It had the perfect blend of tang to it and was served warm. It is honestly to die for. The sauerkraut balls were good. They are a breaded blend of sauerkraut, spicy ham, and sausage, deep fried. They were served with a tasty sweet mustard which was like a good honey mustard dipping sauce. The prices here aren 't cheap, but the ambiance and delicious food were well worth it.
