Laschet’s Inn - Review - North Center - Chicago - The Infatuation

"If you're in North Center and want good, unfussy German food and a great selection of German and Austrian beer, get yourself to Laschet’s Inn. This tavern and restaurant has been around since the ‘70s, and it definitely knows who its regulars are. You might encounter some confusion when you ask for a table, but eventually, you’ll be escorted past the kitschy bar into a wood-clad dining room filled with brewery banners and deer heads mounted on the walls. It’s the perfect setting to eat jumbo soft pretzels and some fantastic schnitzel with a crunchy veal cutlet. Food Rundown Jumbo Bavarian Style Pretzel This is a solid pretzel. It’s soft and not too buttery, with enough salt for seasoning, but not so much to send your body into immediate dehydration. You can get it with a traditional Bavarian beer cheese dip, but the lightly spicy Düsseldorf mustard is just as good. photo credit: Veda Kilaru Sausages The hot sausage plate conveniently consolidates all your links into one order. Expect boiled and grilled bratwurst, a spicy beef and pork thüringer, and garlicky knackwurst—each has a nice snap, a hint of char, and distinct flavors. photo credit: Veda Kilaru Schnitzel There are a variety of schnitzels on the menu, in both sandwich and entree form. But we like the wiener schnitzel best. The veal is tender, thin, and pan-fried to perfection. photo credit: Veda Kilaru" - Veda Kilaru
