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!

The ambiance is quite fun and inviting, but the service is subpar. The waitress barely checked back with us, forgot to put in an appetizer properly, and the food took an hour to come out. Waiting for food isn't necessarily bad when it arrives hot and fresh. Unfortunately, only 3 of the 7 main courses were hot, and their sides were not however. The 4 other meals were just warm and one of them came out 5 minutes later than the rest. The party next to us order after us but got their food first. It's a shame such a fun place with good food, when made properly to order, can't get it together to make the whole experience a great one.

The food was delicious and it was a very festive atmosphere. Great schnitzel and savory gravy. Good German beer selection. We enjoyed the polka band playing Christmas music. Highly recommend!!

Not impressed at all. Food was dry, fatty and tasteless. It was extremely expensive. The Christmas trivia was fun but we won’t be returning.

Goulash lunch special was poor. Could count the minimal very small pieces of meat. Maybe 4 or 5? And smaller than bite size. Only one server for entire restaurant.

Our family has been going to the Schnitzel Platz for years and we love everything about it. Today, we went to their Christmas brunch with Santa and the Grinch. They did such a wonderful job, our kids loved it. Thank you Schnitzel Platz!

The German food is excellent! We truly enjoy our visits. The entertainment is simple and the accordionist was very engaging and happy. The ambience is reminiscent of a bierstube. All around great experience.
