Can't go wrong with the Reuben sammie and a pint of Schell's Oktoberfest. Love the murals and history.

We had the Friday special pork snitchel. It was amazing. True german cuisine! The atmosphere is authentic, murals of Germany painted on the walls. Service is fantastic. I heard from other customers that the brats are better than they had in Germany .

The atmosphere, decor, and paintings in Turner Hall are worth seeing. It's very historic and unique. We were less impressed with the food, which basically tasted like prepared frozen food.
Recommended dishes: Fish and Chips, Sunday Afternoon Snack, The Inger Brat and Sweet Potato Fries, Liver & Onions, All-You-Can-Eat BBQ Ribs at Turner Hall, Schnitzel Und Spaetzle, German Platter, Philly Sandwich, Schells Bock, Chicken Schnitzel with Spaetzle, Pretzel Sticks and Beer Cheese, Prime Rib Dinner, Coleslaw

I've returned to Turner Hall! Or rather... the Rathskeller... which makes much more sense since Turner Hall is the hall and the restaurant is the bar. The Rathskeller is the bar/eatery famously known as Minnesota's oldest bar, which makes it historic, and the eatery was once held exclusive to members who paid an annual membership fee. At one time, you had to have this membership or come with someone who did in order to eat here. Sadly, most of our friends who had membership have since passed so had it not opened to the general public without membership, I may not have had the option to dine here again on return. So this review is much more about the Rathskeller than it is about Turner Hall and their hall facilities, which we also did enjoy as part of their 2024 July 4th celebration. You can see some shots of these in the photos.
Every time I come back to New Ulm Turner Hall and a meal at the Rathskeller is a must. Years ago on one of my first visits I had a burger and now no trip is complete unless I have another. Their burger is somewhere between a classic patty and a smash burger where a smash burger is too thin and the regular patty does not have enough surface for enough sear goodness. On top of that, they understand that the bun matters as much as the meat and condiments and pair it with quality bread. One thing to note, that it seems in MN, a California burger means with lettuce and tomato where in CA, that means add avocado so make sure you specify if you want tomato and lettuce.
My wife ordered the Walleye. She loved it and was happy to have ordered it since it is one of MN's state fishes. An item we don't often see in our home state. You should also know the Rathskeller serves it in 2 options: grilled or battered. If you do not specify you will get battered by default. This is more of a crumb than a batter coating. My wife wanted grilled, didn't specify and got it battered and still thought it was good.
In addition to these items I also had the coleslaw and cheese cubes. Both were quite good. If you love German Potato salad, note that they do not have it on the menu on the regular and typically make it for special occasions.
I do recommend Turner Hall's Rathskeller dining. Go there and try the burger. It may not be the best burger you ever had, but it is one of the better burgers I have had and maybe it will be for you, too!
