My son wanted to try Baumgart’s tonight for dinner. Nicole, our server, was very nice, polite, engaging, and attentive. I had the Szechuan shrimp which was very good. My son had the sesame chicken which he said was also very good. Portions were on the larger side. I was very pleased with the dinner tonight. I would definitely go back.

We've been dining at Baumgart's for 10+ years, the food is consistently delicious and the staff great (Nicole and team) - highly recommend either eat in or take out. We love the big bowl soups and the chef's recommendations always a solid choice.
February 2025
Overall:
I love their menu at least all the things I have tried so far they have fantastic vegetable options that actually are delicious.
Their ice cream is so amazingly creamy and the flavors are blend well if you like multiple flavors to have two different flavor scoops like my sister and I do.

Best dishes in my humble opinion:

I love their shu mai, sesame chicken, healthy jumbo shrimp with vegetables and their mei fun...
