Burger Restaurants in New Glarus

“Our family of 14 embarked on a mini spring break trip to Madison, WI and our first stop was at New Glarus, also known as Little Switzerland. This is a quaint and beautiful town with a population of just slightly overly 2,000. Some of the items that we ordered are the cheese curds, fried mushroom, fried cheese BLT, mini potato pancakes, Ott Haus burger, and currywurst. The latter three particularly stood out. The mini potato pancakes were well-fried and crispy. The Ott Haus burger was the 2023 Green County Burger Contest Winner and rightfully so! It was exceptional especially with the house-made bourbon bacon jam. The currywurst brought back fond memories of my business travels to Germany. We upgraded the burgers and sandwiches to come with fries and tater tots instead of house chips. Portions were generous and everyone was stuffed. The restaurant isn't very big but thankfully it was a Thursday afternoon so it was not overly busy and we were able to combine three tables to accommodate for our party size. Another thing to take note of is that they charge an additional fee for credit card users. I guess it's understandable since this is a small establishment in a small town. However, for our party size, the bill was easily +$200 and who would carry that much cash these days?“

“Drinks were clean, food was excellent and the serving staff was attentive. Nice find among a hidden hillside. Pretty sure Friday nights may require a reservation as we were lucky enough to slide in at the bar last minute. Would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor venue, but I also think a nice snowy night would really make the warm dining area feel right at home.“

“Stopped here because my partner was hungry after a hike at New Glarus State Park. The place was clean and had nice outdoor seating. When we went the service was very slow but they apologized for the wait and they got the order right. Plenty of parking and right off the main road.“
