- Todd NorrisApril 2, 2015Try the Triple Schnitzel Platter - German spinach is great with bacon and a little cream, schnitzel are all just awesome, spaetzle is also very good (via @Foodspotting)
Darius KalinauskasAugust 26, 2018Wow the portions are good size but vary from what you order is soup is very small the main is just huge. Hunters schnitzel was amazing and you get 2 of them in the plate ;] also great beer selection.
Time Out ChicagoFebruary 22, 2012While the Lodge is beer-heavy, featuring a rotating selection of German and Belgian craft brews, meads and Trappist ales, its Dark and Stormy cocktail is one of the best in or outside the city. Read more
With such a tremendous selection, it's hard to pick just one (or two or three). Remember that you can order a 5oz sampler of just about any of their beers - try more in a single visit!
Jason KopplinApril 29, 2016They have a ton of great beers on top (and bottles/cans too). The Scotch Egg & Duck Wings appetizers were both interesting & pretty good. They have a great selection of German food.
Joseph PrincipeSeptember 27, 2018Tons of Belgian, German, other European and North American, even Australian beer selections plus authentic Bavarian foods. Beer selections change seasonally.
Dave OlversonOctober 1, 2012Important place for beer lovers. Yes, great German beers offered, but they don't stop there. American craft brews are present as well. Make sure to chat up your server as they know their stuff!
We come for the beer and stay for the food! Pretzel basket and wurst app is awesome with a pour from their ever-changing draft list. The spatzle soup in great!- Fran AllenJune 30, 2017OMG best German food in the Chicago area. Potato pancakes, awesome. Schnitzels, great!
- The beer list is one of the best. Period. Try a bunch by ordering sample sizes - they will do that for almost anything on tap.
- Pam P.October 26, 2015Huge draft beer list, American craft and imports. Large menu featuring mostly German dishes. The portions are gigantic!
- Todd NorrisApril 2, 2015Try the Liver Dumpling Soup - The dumpling is made of liver, kind of firm pate in a nice full flavor broth (via @Foodspotting)
The BEST craft beer, domestic and European, place in the world! Also, the most knowledgeable and attentive staff!
Terrass MisherApril 16, 2015Try the duck wings they're pretty awesome. The bartenders are amazing also!
Dave KokandyDecember 21, 2013My favorite thing on the menu (besides the beer, of course) is the Weiner Schnitzel ala Holstein.
Nathan JohnsonAugust 25, 2012amazing beer selections and great food! Don't miss the thuringer sausage or the pretzel rolls.- Chris WahlSeptember 27, 2013Always check the daily beer list and ask the server for suggestions or more details, they are extremely knowledgeable.
AndrewOctober 21, 2012As German as you can get in Lisle. Try their laundry list of beers. You will not be disappointed.
