Laschet's Inn: Reviews & Ratings
Great food, nice atmosphere! Wonderful German food! Had the weiner schnitzel with spaetzle, delicious!
Amazing beer selection, laid back atmosphere and a killer goulash made for a perfect afternoon oasis.
When you want some authentic German food and beer, this is the place to go. An inconspicuous entrance off Irving Park Road, Laschet's delivers great chicken schnitzel and giant liters of German beer. Service is good and the vibe feels like a lodge. Parking is easy out front or on the side streets.
Oh my goodness. This place is amazing. Goulash soup was soooo good. Had the sausage sandwich and a beer. My in laws loved it as well. Great food and good service. Definitely recommend.
Great German food and highly recommend their goulash. Nice size portions. Kudos for moving away from styrofoam carryout containers to paper. I order a lot of carryout and it always hurts me when restaurant don't use biodegradable options if possible. Thank you Laschets for making this change.
What better way to celebrate the day after Christmas than at an old-fashioned, traditional German pub and restaurant. Truly charming place, delicious traditional German food and great beer selections served in glass boots. So authentic, lively and fun.
06/25/24 - All these years and I have never set foot in Laschet Inn. I use to go to Resi's Bierstube which is located about 2 blocks east on the north side of Irving Park. My old roommate & I use to go up & have some libations Today I had lunch w/my buddy & had 2 goals in mind. One was to have hackepeter aka steak tartar & the other was to have weinerschnitzal which I absolutely love. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. In all the years I have lived in Chicago I finally came here for lunch. Laschet Inn is a cool German pub w/a cool vibe & great food Between the 2 of us we devoured 4 dishes. 1) Hackepeter- steak tartar w/capers & onions on cocktail bread. I thought this was good but seemed a little under seasoned. 2) Weinerschnitzal (excellent schnitzel), German Potato Salad (very good), & cole slaw 3) Chcken wings - Were outstanding, super crispy & came w/2 dipping sauces. One was a bleu cheese which I thought was outstanding. I didn't try the other dipping sauce. 4) Chicken schnitzel Believe it or not we didn't even have a beer as my friend doesn't drink (NEXT TIME)
For years, I used to meet up with friends at Laschet's Inn on Friday afternoons for a bier, some food & to practice my German. I no longer live in Chicago & I don't make it to the Irving Park/Damen area as much. I was visiting my guncle who lives at 3950 LSD & had an hour to kill for lunch between hanging out with him & my next appointment. I decided to take the #80 down the street to my old stomping ground! It was a gorgeous day so I asked for a Stiegl & full order of hackepeter to enjoy on the front patio. SOOOO GOOD! There is just something so perfect about the brown bread, minced meat, raw white onions & capers. It totally brings me back to my childhood visits in Germany. Laschet's version is everything! Pro tip: the extra plate they give you is for you to dump out the onions/capers. Pick up the bread, turn it over, press the meat into the onions then the capers & enjoy! While I did not indulge in other options, the food is outstanding at Laschet's & the beer selection is noteworthy. If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking Laschet's out for a delicious meal. Prost!
Fun spot in Chicago for a large selection of German food. Came during Oktoberfest and they were serving their regular menu as well as a special menu for Oktoberfest. We started with a half liter of beer as well as the warm sausage plate and the potato pancakes. The sausage had a variety of 3 and came with sauerkraut. The potato pancakes were delicious and the portion was huge! They were crispy while still being soft on the inside. The sour cream and applesauce complimented them nicely. For entrees, we had the pork shank and the wiener schnitzel. The pork was good but could have been more tender and juicy. The roasted potatoes were delicious as was the red cabbage- very tangy! The schnitzel was very good, nice and crispy and better with the fresh lemon juice squeezed on top. The service was great and the environment was cozy and a nice change from the standard Chicago uppity restaurants. We left with full bellies and a ton of leftovers. Will be back to try the apple streusel!
