There is live music on Saturdays, if you are with people you want to chat with it will be difficult without talking loud.

Very lively, energetic, mead-hall vibes! Live music and MC Extremely kid friendly! Family style dinning available... The whole restaurant sang Happy Birthday 5-6 times within the hour of getting our food served and us finishing our meal. So many special memories made here!
Marcia
Food was OK. Assorted Wurst appetizer was excellent. Schnitzel was very dry and even hard to cut. Spaetzle was fair. Green beans probably the best part of the meal!
Bill
Our waitress, Emily, was excellent. Pleasant, efficient, happy to serve. As always, the food was great.

We had a party of 14, including 4 children and 2 babies. A reservation for 14 held by cc was required with $25 min per seat including babies if no show. Poor communication on these details. Would not seat us until the entire party had arrived when the clock started for 3 hrs max due to the group size. After we were seated we waited >20 min before an order was taken which we had to request. At 3 pm there weren't too many people so I don't know what the issue was. One round of drinks came then food. A round of 4 more drinks never arrived but we were charged for them. Another request for drinks was filled. The bill came at the 3 hr mark, paid for with cc, with a 20% cash tip. In our hurry to leave I did not notice on the receipt the 4 drinks that we did not receive. The next day after comparing notes with the group I called the restaurant and was told I'd get a call back from the waitress which never happened. Also was told that I should have caught the error when the bill was presented. I was disappointed in the lack of response as we had been to Schnitzelplatz many times with large groups over the past 30 years. The problem was minor, $36 on a bill close to $600. Should have warranted better customer service.

As usual, the food was delectable, the schnitzel was only rivaled by the chicken strips. The giant pretzel came with an array of strong dippers, like horseradish and mustard, and the bier cheese was especially loved by the whole table. Good music, GREAT beer, and the service was fast and never too far away to order another round. We can't wait to go back!

We attended the final week of the Oktoberfest celebration. There was a lively atmosphere. Our server was polite and attentive. She checked on us regularly and fulfilled our requests promptly. The food was outstanding and portions generous. Schnitzel Platz serves genuine German beers and Hoffbrau Oktoberfest was available on tap for the celebration. I would recommend Schnitzel Platz if you enjoy German food and a fun atmosphere.

We always love going here during Ocktoberfest. It's such a fun time and the food is always good.

As a longtime Chicago area resident I've seen so many German restaurants close I'm glad I found this vintage German restaurant I felt like I was in Bavaria

If you love German food and German culture, this is the vibe! I can't speak much on food and drink as I only had a beer and a pretzel, but I will say beer selection is excellent if you like Bavarian style and the pretzel was absolutely delicious. One of the best I've had. I got it with the beer cheese, and it was also served with mustard and horseradish. 
We were here on two occasions, one week apart. The first time was sooo good! Meals and beer and service couldn't have been better! The second time, the sauerbraten was dry and tough when last week it was so tender! The beer is great! The entertainment on Friday- Sunday was great fun. Had to wait for our server several times, but the place was so busy. We'll come back.

Our dinner was wonderful. The server took good care of us. We definitely will return. They have the best liver dumpling soup.!!!

If you are looking for authentic German food in the Chicago suburbs, Schnitzel Platz should automatically be your go-to! Everything is freshly made and authentic. For those with gluten allergies/intolerances, they have a dedicated fryer for gluten-free. (One of the very few in the area who provide this!) My go-to is always the chicken schnitzel with homemade spaetzle and German home fries. They offer an extensive German beer and wine list as well. And don't forget dessert! Their strudel is to die for!

So much fun to go during Octoberfest! The food, music, the decorations and everyone is in a festive mood! Emily E is a great server as well.

The food and the service were very good! Great German fair. Everyone in our party really enjoyed their meals. Lots of activity since it was Oktoberfest. Separate tent set up for outside dining.
