About as authentic German food as you’re going to get in Chicago. The Hackepeter was sneaky delicious as the creamy saltiness of the meat and capers perfect. You have to get the sausage platter as it says something with how good the sausage were when the brat was the “worst” of the bunch because the thuringer and knackwurst were amazing. The schnitzel was great and the rouladen with the spatzel was the best thing I ate. Oh and the bacon vinegrette on the salad was perfect. And to top it all off, great selection of German beer.
If you want German comfort food, this is your place.

Used to be one of our FAVORITE places, and the service is still great, but the food has really fallen from grace since Covid. The Tar-Tar used to be a gorgeous full-plate presentation (the best anywhere) but is now just a sad few pre-spread slices of bread. It would be a shame for this iconic restaurant to continue on this path.

Go for the goulash, stay for the schnitzel!!! Everything is AMAZING!!

Hope this place NEVER changes. It has a super cozy atmosphere with friendly service. Definitely a hold out of the old German Neighborhood. Great beer selection and you get a free shot of schnapps with every dinner. Great place to hang out with friends or family, grab dinner or just pop in for a quick beer or three.
When you want some authentic German food and beer, this is the place to go. An inconspicuous entrance off Irving Park Road, Laschet’s delivers great chicken schnitzel and giant liters of German beer. Service is good and the vibe feels like a lodge. Parking is easy out front or on the side streets.

Food was really good. Had the hot sausage plate, chicken schnitzel dinner and Leberkase dinner. It was all shared among 2 adults and a child. We finished with coffee and apple strudel. When you want German food one of the must go places across Chicago.

What a disappointment this place had been for us. Besides the beer which was real good and the Herring, everything else was terrible. My husband had sauerbraten, it had white gravy on it. I'm sure out of a can. It tasted terrible. The so called German potato salad was nothing but heated up potatoes with vinegar, salt and pepper. It was some clumps of potatoes. Sauerkraut was ok. The soup, barley soup had a weird taste to it. My husband and grandson did not it . The waitress was nice, yet, gave excuses. Not worth going too. Also my husband been sick two hours after visiting. He ate maybe two ounces of the meat, which I know made him sick. The health department needs to get in there and check stuff out.
