Food was great. The schnitzel, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage roll, and spatzle were awesome. It’s a very unique restaurant, especially in such a small town

This is the real deal! Chef Manfred prepares amazing German dishes. Everything is good. Menu rotates. Might include Schnitzel, gravy, sauerkraut, Rotkohl, green beans, beets, Semmelknödel (my fave), Kāsespätzle, Kassler, or massive pretzels. Don't miss the cake! Schatzi's makes me sooo happy! Prost! 🍻

Love everything about Schatzi's! Good food, atmosphere and hospitality. Manfred is a great guy and is very social with his customers. I go there every chance I get ☺️

Ate here last night. GREAT FOOD! They ran out of main courses early, but the sides were also great. Get there early! Will be back again!

I was highly disappointed in my lack of proper planning as this place offered more dishes for dinner than lunch. We arrived at lunch from Coffeyville Kansas. The waitress and cook staff were outgoing and helpful and gave us one of the dinner menu items that was not too cumbersome for the kitchen staff at that moment. This is my wife's favorite place and I don't regret the hour drive there one bit. I'll make sure to bring her back at a dinner menu time lol.

If you like finding 'off the beaten path' places, this is the place for you!! WOW!! I personally love German food and when I can find a place that serves more than a grilled brat, it makes me super happy. Schatzi's won't disappoint. Food was great. The menu is however what the chef wants to make that day, but the food the night we went was amazing. Red pepper gravy was spot on. Everything down to the mustard seemed to be homemade from scratch. Don't skip the warm pretzels.
Interestingly, they serve it cafeteria style from their bar top, but it makes the experience feel like family and something you would expect from a small town atmosphere. Atmosphere was fun too. Lots of interesting things to check out.
Just as a heads up, I don't know if this place is open everyday or just when they run these specials. Their door says they are a catering company, not a restaurant. So you might check their facebook page before you go. If they are open though, it is worth the drive. I snapped a few pictures since the ones on Google Maps are clearly way out of date.

Legit German food in a small Kansas town. Nice toys for kids to play with. Excellent and interactive manager. Not much not to love.

If I were to review Schatzi's Schnitzel Haus solely on their food's flavor and quantity, it would be 5-6 out of five stars. The food tasted amazing! But the service, environment, and incidentals also factor into the experience. That being said, I guess my rating would average out to 3 out of 5 stars.
1. When you walk in there is no direction. Wait to be seated? Seat yourself? Go to the bar area and tell them what you want?
2. My first experience was during the 2024 Fall Festival, so maybe they were really busy? But I went to the buffet area where it looked like someone else was supposed to scoop out the servings, but no one was there. 5-ish minutes later, one person came in from outside.
3. While they were outside, flies were landing on the food. If they couldn't control the flies from being inside, then they should have had someone at the serving station making sure no flies touched the food. Gross.
4. I asked how it worked and they explained that it was a la cart. I only wanted a taste of the sauerkraut, not a whole serving, but since it was ala cart, I was charged for a full menu item.
5. I ordered a beer, which only came bottled and was WARM.
6. Most restaurants serve cold ice water. After paying for my food and beer, I learned they only offered drinks (including water) from a paid cooler.
7. Utensils were packaged plastic forks/knives/spoons. There were no extra napkins, so to get some napkins, I had to get more plastic utensil packages for one thin napkin.
8. There is a lot they could improve upon, but the food (even though I had to keep swatting away the flies) was SO, SO good.
This small restaurant hidden in a small town has authentic German food, food was excellent and it felt nice sitting inside. The chefs were very polite. Food is cooked all from scratch from the garden. Highly recommend this place if ever you stop by in Riley, KS.

Oh wow! This place went above and beyond for a dear friends graduation party! The absolute best authentic food in a 100 mile radius. I cannot recommend this place enough. The staff is unbeatable and very personable. I will 1000% be back.

Delicious authentic German food in a "Bierzelt" atmosphere. Well worth a trip.
