Was looking for a place to grab dinner and we stumbled across Fritzls and thought wed give it a try. The Chicken Cordon Bleu, Bavarian Pork Roast and potato pancakes were all delicious. Service was attentive and prices were reasonable. Definitely would return if were nearby.

It is a spendee $$$ restaurant. Good German restaurant. I had sauerbraten and did not enjoy it and saurerkrout was harsh. Bill was $40 for one person and only had water to drink.

There are 3 things I really concentrate on when I go out to eat. Cleanliness, Food of course and service. I give Fritzls 5 stars for all 3. The food was amazing. Just like I remember having as a child. ( German descent) The service was great. My coffee cup never went empty and everyone was so very friendly. For the price you get large portions in a warm welcoming setting. I will definitely go back.

Absolutely fantastic. Great, authentic food. All home made, all delicious. The level of service is five stars - its an old school hospitality you rarely see. Theres a reason there are so many regulars there. A classic.

Wonderful European or German food. They have a lot of other food ( fish, steak, pasta) but you can get that anywhere. Great to be able to order spaetzle, sauerkraut and various schnitzels or German pot roast (rouladen) or stroganoff. The ambiance is that of a 60s supper club. Service was good. Went there for Thanksgiving and saw many multi generational tables including one with 20 diners. Well be back for a good evening reminiscent of my great grandmothers cooking.

Review №13

The place itself is nice and cozy, supper club style and the staff was very friendly. We sat and were brought fresh rolls, they had a wierd taste to them. I ordered the Rouladen of beef, and for the two sides I got the German potato salad, and the Spaetzle (German noodles). Now I dont believe I had that dish before, the beef roll part, it was bland, cant describe. The entire meal was bland. The German Potato salad did not seem authentic, did not taste right and the Spaetzle was tasteless and inedible. Did not finish the meal. Did not have dessert.They have a nice bar area and a gaming room plus a small outdoor sitting area. If I go back I will be ordering other items.

This is our first time here. Everything was super delicious! I got the combination platter and was so happy I did! I got a little taste of everything. The schnitzel was cooked perfectly. The sauerbraten was probably my favorite. This dish comes with 5 sides! Fried potatoes, sauerkraut, purple cabbage, spatzle and veggies! We also tried the liver dumpling soup and the French onion soup. Sooo good! Our waitress was Diana and she was so nice and on top of everything. We never needed to look around for her. She was very attentive and made sure our first visit was amazing. We will be back!

I would give it 10 stars if I could. Impeccable service! The restaurant feels cozy and nice. They had an Oktoberfest special for the beer on the tap and for the menu that hubby has ordered... everything was delicious! We also had the house schnitzel and that was one of the best Ive ever had.

If you like German food, this place is great! Unfortunately, Im not a huge fan. But my husband is, so we go once in a while. This is one of his favorite German restaurants. Awesome schnitzel. We brought our 2 year old last night, and I was VERY impressed with their childrens meal- excellent chicken strips, fries, apples, and oranges. Enough food for 2 meals for him!

Review №53

An example of the quintessential American Supper club serving Old World German cuisine. Even if it was not Oktoberfest their menu is amazing. But it is Oktoberfest and Fritzls pulls out all the stops importing their special recipe brew in from Germany and rolls out their seasonal menu. Smoked meat and cheese platter appetizers, fresh spaetzle, Roast Duck and Schnitzel are just a few of the offerings that you can choose from. Serving Northern Illinois for over 50 years this is a proud three generation family restaurant.

Ever since Kuhns in Des Plaines closed, my family was itching for a new German restaurant. I took my parents here for my dads birthday, as we hadnt been here in over a decade since its kinda far.We had a great time. It was very quiet and the food was excellent. Im no German food expert but the German potato salad was better than Kuhns. Was also my first time trying sauerbraten and was not disappointed. It was a bit dry by my fathers standards but more sauce was happily provided.Vanessa, our waitress ,was great. In an area where German restaurants are harder and harder to come by, we will definitely be back.

Went with a group of German expats and German-speaking Americans. The chef from Germany came to our table to greet the Germans and also to discuss my allergies. He then made a terrific fish dish that accommodated my restrictions.Could not have been happier. My friends at the table also enjoyed their food a lot.Will soon return.

The atmosphere is ok, not great. The parking lot is in rough shape. The decor is tired and old, in need of an update. The prices were on the expensive side, for what it was. The food was mediocre at best. It needed seasoning. It was like a home cooked meal, but not in a good way. No frills, just very ordinary. Frankly I wish I would have stayed home and cooked for myself. We drove from Antioch but not worth the drive. There are much better options in the area. Route 12 is a busy road with many restaurants along the way. We should have kept driving!

Delicious food, great price, amazing service. This was our first visit, celebrating my brothers birthday. Had 5 adults and twin 2 year olds. Everything we ate was delicious. Best potato pancakes I have ever had. The combo platter had a serving of everything, paired with a side that complemented each protein. We ordered the garlic sausage wrapped in puff pastry ( an appetizer) with a side of applesauce as our childrens meal. They thought it was amazing. We will definitely be back. Also, my son has a peanut allergy and they took it very seriously. The chef, owner, and waitress all verified that the allergen was not present. Many restaurants are uninformed and dont take it seriously so I really appreciated it when I am at one that does.

Review №84

Awful. Used to be absolutely amazing, but now its abysmal. Ordered baked onion soup, it was microwaved. My wiener schnitzel was soggy and way to thick. The baked potato was dry, and the potato pancakes were obviously just sitting there. It took 45 minutes to get our food, and during that time our waitress checked on us twice. We asked for the manager, and he was extremely rude. Ended up leaving a 20 on the table and ate leftover pizza.

Warm and family oriented location. A wide variety of German/Austrian type of food choices with a splattering of American favorites thrown in. Service can be slow depending on day and time of day, but it is not terribly slow.The portion sizes - they are pretty large, be prepared to carry a take home box.The kids meal size was huge, and I sort of expected the adults meals to be bigger. It definitely was.Overall, I recommend this restaurant.. It is definitely worth going once, if not more than once. There is a lot of European comfort food on offer.

Fritzls is a nice German style restaurant that also has a bar and a video gaming/slots room. Casual/business casual dress is appropriate. Their menu consists of traditional German offerings at fair prices. Food is very good. Service is excellent. Free on site parking. Very handicapped accessible. Mens and womens restrooms. Reservations are encouraged on holidays and for other special occasions.

We have been dining here for 20 years. The atmosphere is great for conversation, the cocktails are spot on and the food is excellent. My wife is addicted to the duck lorange and I love the assortment of schnitzels. The potato pancake is the best Ive ever had and Ive had plenty across the country. Save room for dessert. The staff are friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable for the quality and service. Even the parking is exceptional.
