Schnitzel Platz in Glendale Heights is perhaps one of the most lively and entertaining eateries throughout the area and is known for hosting many events and is special enough to help ring in the holidays. In fact, Schnitzel Platz will often feature a special menu that has items only available throughout select times of the year like Oktoberfest. There are, of course, plenty of consistent favorites you will find too.

Some consistent menu items include the Kaiser in the neighborhood, whole suckling pig, Deutsche Haus platte, schweine braten and the sauerbraten. Make sure you also try the many schnitzels, of course, like the pork schnitzel, weiner schnitzel or the jager schnitzel. Schnitzel Platz also offers a kid’s menu that makes this restaurant a family-friendly place to go. and don't forget to come in and enjoy some authentic German polka music on weekends and our great selections of German bier imported from Germany!

Hostess put us in a booth by a large table of patrons having a birthday party. It was noisy so we moved to another table that was quieter. Hostess came back and said we couldn't sit there and we had to go back to the booth where she originally sat us at. She said that it wouldn't be a problem because they were leaving as they had been there two hours already. Turns out the birthday party went on for another half an hour. My date and I had to endure all the loud talking and commotion until they finally left. Not an enjoyable experience!

Schnitzelplatz is a mini-version of what the Hofbräuhaus used to be. The food is always excellent and so is the service. The ambience is a bit dated but definitely an old-world German style. Definitely recommended.

It has been 16 years since we moved away from the Chicago area and the last time we visited the Schnitzel Platz. We found that the new owners kept the quality of the food up to the standards of the previous owner (Wolfgang) and we enjoyed our meal as we always did in the past. The prices were higher but this was to be expected as things have changed quite a bit in the last 16 years.
