The Coffman Review

I just discovered fried chicken for the first time. šŸ— 🤯

Sure, I’ve had KFC, Church’s, and Popeyes. I’ve had it at Hollyhock Hill, Kopper Kettle, and The Eagle. I’ve eaten legs, wings, thighs, and breasts— battered and fried to a crispy golden brown.

But last week I had fried chicken at Brau Haus in Oldenburg, Indiana, and it was an entirely new experience. šŸ˜‹

Inside we found room after room of dining space, with a bar running parallel. It was pretty quiet when we arrived, but it picked up through lunch time.

Debating the menu amongst ourselves, we finally ordered:

šŸ– Pork Schnitzel Dinner x 2 with Sauerkraut and Potato Pancakes
šŸ“ Whole Chicken
šŸ„’ Hand Cut Pork Tenderloin with Pickle Fries

The schnitzel came on a bed of gravy topped with a boiled egg. It was fantastic. For my aunt it was the standout dish. The potato pancakes were small, thin, and crispy— absolutely delicious. The sauerkraut was literally the best I’ve ever had. Black pan scrapings gave it a nice charred accent.

The chicken was fried perfectly. The breading was generously salted and peppered, complimenting the juicy meat. Each bite was an explosion of flavor. For me, the chicken was the standout dish. It was the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten. šŸ’„

I’ve tried many different breaded pork tenderloins over the years and this one would be counted near the top. With the same peppery essence, the breading was quite crunchy. The pork cutlet was twice the size of the bun and I topped it with mayo, lettuce, pickles, and tomato.

The pickle fries were an unexpected standout. Dipped in the included chipotle sauce they were sweet, salty, and crunchy. They’re technically a fruit, right? 🤷 😁

It was an excellent lunch.

We started out with the sauerkraut balls which were good. We shared the 10 piece fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes, green beans & slaw. 1st time trying the fried chicken and it was delicious. Not greasy at all. Loved the batter. Sat outside on the balcony over looking the creek beautiful!!! Drove 1hr 12min to try their fried chicken and it did not disappoint. Would definitely come back and highly recommend šŸ‘Œ

Truth In Plain Sight

Been going to the Brau Haus for 25 years and it's spot on every time. Went in last night and sat at the bar. Had some chicken and a tenderloin sandwich, both were phenomenal. Took some home and got my mother a ham and cheese hoagie to go bc she absolutely loves them. The patrons at the bar are always as friendly as the wait staff and the service is always prompt. Just an overall great place to support!!!! Special shout out to Alexis for being so friendly and helpful to the older gentleman who had special needs...
