---The Berghoff Restaurant is a Chicago landmark, serving German-style cuisine and culture since 1898. One of the oldest family-run businesses in the nation, now run by the fourth generation, Pete Berghoff. Today's Berghoff menus have evolved to add newer, lighter, and more contemporary dishes, but it's still the same old Berghoff, down to the famous root beer. In December 2018, the Berghoff family opened Adams Street Brewery, aptly named after the street they have called home for over a century, to nod to their brewing roots and commemorate the restaurant's 120th anniversary.

I was there with 5 friends that I hadn't seen in a while. We had the best time. Sue, our serve, Sue,was excellent. The food was delicious, as was the beer and wine. Berghoff isn't a place that immediately comes to mind, but I am always so pleased when we visit.
