Berghoff Cafe

I got the turkey BLT wrap and it was actually very good. No processed deli meat - actual turkey that was extremely tender. Like it was slow cooked. They have a fast to go line also - same as if you ordered from sandwich shop. No need to sit down and order. Great stop!

Best place to eat in the area. The Reuben was awesome and they had it done super quickly. The staff is super friendly and it's a nice place to chill.

They have good veggie options. I tried their Veggie quesadilla, which is reasonably heavy and filled with rich cheese. Their croissants also yumm. Make sure you try their coleslaw! They have a classic 1900s time period vibe and perfect for either a jetlagged or even normal hangout situations!

The staff will knock your sock off with kind, friendly, and helpful service. The Reuben sandwich with grilled onions (extra) on rye bread will knock your other sock off. Just let the sandwich maker do his thing. Friendly bar area too. Don't believe the kiosk sign once you enter concourse C. It's actually near gate C26 in terminal 1.

Advantage shorter lines and bar opens early. They are quick with your order, efficient. Sandwiches are tasty, bacon is a bit too salty.

Really good sandwich, rich in meat, juicy meat and not too salty. I tried the pickled pepper and it was not too spicy and really good. Service was really fast and efficient and the price is really not bad for an airport place for the food quality also. I recommend strongly to try it out. I took the Cuban sandwich based on the recent reviews I saw and wasn't disappointed

One of the better airport options available. Friendly staff, generous portions, and nice view by the window. Tried the “Cuban sandwich” (ham & pulled pork), and it was LOADED with meat. It was a little dry because there’s nothing else in the sandwich other than cheese, but the flavour was still good. Price is actually very reasonable for the amount of food you’re getting. If definitely come back if I’m in Concourse C.

Fast, tasty, satisfying. Really fast service. Delicious and hearty food. The price is good. As for the seats - come on, guys! This is the airport. There is little space in the cafe here, and there are a lot of people, it's a fact. But you also have a couple of hundred chairs and sofas around… BBQ PULLED PORK 🥪 is fine.

I've had to fly a lot lately for work and personal reasons, and it's reminded me that airport dining is largely a miserable landscape: you pay twenty bucks to wait twenty minutes for microwaved garbage. Berghoff Cafe is not that. Their breakfast is an actual, honest-to goodness short-order breakfast operation with food cooked to order in front of you. My deluxe croissant ended up being a real, cheesy, delicious omelette on a buttery croissant (okay, it wasn't flaky, but if you're looking for a proper French-style croissant at a classic "we fry up an omelette in five minutes" place, that's on you for missing the point here). On top of that, my hashbrown square was actually fresh and crispy. The staff was friendly, the food was good, and it was reasonably priced (at an airport, no less). If you want to support good airport food, check them out.

Located next to C26, Berghoff was busy around 8 am. There was a line but it moved quickly (maybe 5 min) A good selection of made to order Omelettes and breakfast sandwiches. I wanted an Omelette but needed to take away so I got the Deluxe Croissant. The Croissant didn't have the usual flaky and was more like bread from a texture perspective. Once I got past that, the interior of this sandwich (eggs, mushrooms, bacon, Jack Cheese) were tasty and hit the spot. Ordered a medium Cappuccino, (either 2% milk or Oat are the choices) It was good but more of a Latte vs Cappuccino. Service was quick and friendly. They have a solid process and I was able to get my food quickly although made to order. Good one for Breakfast.

After walking through the options in concourse C, this felt like the best option for hot food. While a bit heavy for breakfast, I got the Cuban sandwich, and the hearty flavors definitely took me by surprise. Priced at $13 (great for airport prices), it was an extremely generous serving of shredded pork, layered with two thick sliced of ham and some melted provolone cheese, served with a dill pickle. The shredded pork was juicy and tender and tasted freshly made. Also got a cappuccino, which I was satisfied with. Both sandwich makers and the cashier were friendly and helpful in giving recommendations. As for ambiance, you order and pay first and find a place to sit out. It was very crowded when I went, so don't go expecting a quiet, relaxing place to eat.

I stopped for a quick lunch. I ordered the chicken quesadilla bc it would be convenient to eat while I wait for my plane. It was not a quesadilla... it was a tortilla with red sauce and chicken pieces. Not many chicken pieces AND NO CHEESE! It was a mess. The staff was prompt but they are under pressure with the line of people so it's very impersonal. The restaurant is small and very few sitting areas. I won't try this place again but you should check them out and make up your own mind.

Decided on this restaurant based on the YELP reviews. Asked that guy making the sandwiches his favorite. "The Cuban!" He said immediately. How could I choose anything else? By far one of the best sandwiches I have ever had in my life. Not your typical airport restaurant. Sandwich was hot, pork was tender. Large enough for two people. Order it, you will not be disappointed!

Fabulous sandwiches. Great choices and really fast. I had a delicious turkey pesto panini. The turkey was off the bone hand carved and thick. Really tasty and loaded with turkey on a warm baguette sandwich roll. I was in a hurry to make a connecting flight but starving and they had it ready in under 5 minutes. All for $16. Take out place but with plenty of counter and table space to eat. Or take it to the gate.

Had quite a long layover and this was the closest "real" restaurant to our gate. We grabbed a couple seats at the bar and ordered a drink. The bartender started a tab for us and said we could walk to the other side of the cafe to order food and they can use the same tab, which worked great. It was nice to see all of the displays of sandwiches/wraps they offered since the menu is more like a traditional deli where you can create whatever you want. The wrap wasn't horrible but I didn't love the blue cheese and I wasn't aware it was on it. The fries were crispy and I enjoyed them. It only took about 5 minutes for them to make my food and there wasn't a line. The staff was great and the bartenders took great care of us. Overall, your typical airport bar with overpriced food/drinks but you get exactly what you expect.

I don't know if I have ever been impressed with food at an airport before. However, the Reuben sandwich I had at Berghoff was fantastic. It had the right amount of meat, sauerkraut, sauce, and bread. It was also HUGE. I was really happy with the price per portion. The staff was also helpful and quick with service. I will 100% grab a sandwich from here in the future.

One of the better options in O'Hare without a doubt. If I'm flying out of C terminal, I always try to pick up a sandwich from here for the flight. Got the Rueben most recently and it's a great Rueben. Classic flavors. All the deli sandwiches are great and all the food options are just as great as the fulsome Berghoff downtown. Definitely the best option in OHare

One of the stronger food options in O'Hare especially if you are not going to Tortas Frontera for some reason. You get fresh made sandwiches with real food -- like a BLT turkey wrap where they slice the turkey fresh off a real, warm, turkey breast. A little bland, and a little expensive, but a good alternative to a lot of airport junk.

Stopped here for a quick protein snack before getting on my early morning flight. I got a very hot cup of coffee, side of bacon, side of sausage, and a hash brown. The hash brown is actually really good! The service is good. The cashier is very friendly and funny.

6am and this place is already packed! Everything here is fresh made in front of you and the guys working here are all smiles and niceties. The food was a bit sloppy and nothing crazy in terms of taste but it definitely hit the spot after a red-eye before my next flight.

Good but not great. Quick service with plenty of help behind the counter. Ordered a roast beef and provolone panini during my layover tonight. It hit the spot. Was it the best I've ever had? No. But it definitely wasn't near the bottom either. Solid 7/10 for a hot sandwich. And given it's an airport location, I'd say that pretty good overall. The decor was pretty cool even if the place is a little small (again, it's in the airport!). Would definitely order this again if needing a meal in this terminal.

This review goes solely to our bartender. I was hoping they had the thuringer sausage, but they did not. You can get it in the Loop at their main restaurant. Max and I got to the airport 7 hours too early. This gave us ample time to roam around. My coffee drink was outstanding. Bar area is small, but the seats are comfy.

Solid choice for food at OHare. Order at the sandwich counter, pay at the end and then wait for the order to be ready. Also has a bar. Was very busy at 3:30 on a Friday so no where to sit. Everything comes in Togo boxes so we just found chairs in the main hall.

Food was really, really good! Impressed. Top 3 Cubans I've ever had and I'm from NYC. Service was good, greeted with conversation and a smile. Ambiance was chill casual, not pushy, not crowded.

We arrived at O'Hare early enough to grab a meal before our flight, and decided to do it near our gate. The café was directly across from us, so we headed over there to see what they had. We were able to grab a couple seats at the end of a long table next to the bar, which we shared with a party of four, with a couple empty seats in between. My husband went to the counter and got our sandwiches - a corned beef and Swiss for me, and roast beef and Swiss for him. We also each had a cocktail. The sandwiches were amazing. I didn't think I was that hungry, but I ate every bite. He did the same. I'm hoping next time we fly, our gate is also out that way. It was that good, that I'm craving airport food!

Came into Terminal on a slow Tuesday afternoon, and found Berghoff's right next to my gate, otherwise saw a few other options. They have a sample row of their sandwiches by the ordering counter, so us boys can better make a visual decision. :-) Always miss a good heated Cuban sandwich/panini so it caught my eye, otherwise I was thinking the Reuben. Also got a yummy draft Hazy IPA, called the Adams Street Brewery "Dat's Da Joose"! The Cuban was a little too meaty for my liking and I didn't know I had to put my own mustard on it, should have asked!

I found Berghoff Cafe on Yelp and decided to make the long painful journey between terminals to try it out. IT WAS WORTH IT! When I arrived, the bar was packed and every table was in use. I was so relieved when I saw a cafeteria style area where I could quickly order and pay for food to-go. My only regret, traveling alone because I didn't have anyone to share a second sandwich type with. Hands down the best corned beef sandwich I have ever had. The perfect combination of salty, crunchy and cool. It hit all the notes. I will try the Cuban next time.

Solid breakfast omelette here! They serve as early as 6am here and yes it is legit. This airport location provides travelers with the opportunity to enjoy the same delicious food and beverages that the original restaurant is known for. It has a similar German-American menu, offering a range of options to suit different tastes. Travelers can savor traditional German dishes like bratwurst, sauerbraten, and spaetzle, as well as American classics like burgers and sandwiches. Whether you're a Chicago local or a visitor passing through the O'Hare International Airport, the Berghoff Cafe airport location offers a taste of the restaurant's renowned cuisine and a chance to experience a piece of Chicago's culinary history.

Sandwich place at Chicago O'hare airport terminal 1 by gate C23 I grab corned beef sandwich before boarding. Since they heat the sandwich, it tasted better. Their eye bread and corned beef were also very good quality and coated around $13.58. It was very reasonable price for the airport eatery.

Eat here just about every week. Normally you'll get a nice fat sandwich with a pickle or peppers for $16, not today. Very basic sandwich, no garnish, pickle, pepper, drink or fries for $16 + tip. I'll skip the tip from now on or head down to McDonalds and get more for less. Good service but inconsistent product for a premium price.

Food is decent. Ordered a western wrap. It did the job. Little diced onion and pepper with a little bit of ham and cheese. Service was good. Quick, efficient and friendly. Didn't get to the bar since it was 6:30 am. Next time. The ambiance... well airport restaurant. About what you'd expect.

Berghoff Cafe is one of the better food options near the United Airlines gates. I had a Cuban Sandwich here and enjoyed it. The portion in relation to the price was very fair for this setting. This will likely be my main go-to spot when I am on this end of O'Hare airport

When your at the airport for any extended amount of time. Your mission is to find comfortable chairs, a charging port, and good food. Berghoff cafe is the perfect spot, to take care of the food aspect of your mission. Understand that the prices are pretty high. But hopefully you realized that all airport amenities and food are higher. Cuban- pretty decent sandwich full of meat. I just needed some mayo. I know Cuban's do not come with mayo. But to me I felt the sandwich was missing something, and mayo would be exactly what I needed

I like sandwiches with flavors and toasted and good meat. This is it! The best airport Reuben ever. I added grilled onions and spicy brown mustard to it and wow. I was only going to eat half but couldn't let such a tasty sandwich go to waste. It comes with a dill pickle too!

My husband and I stopped here while waiting for our connecting flight. It was busy but the staff did great moving the line among and serving everyone in a swift manner. The eggs are made fresh and on the spot. I got the western omelet and the portion size was great - filling but not too much. The staff was super friendly. Very impressed with this restaurant given that it's in an airport!

Only airport food I've ever craved for afterwards. And at prices I'd gladly pay outside an airport. Got the reuben. Honestly, mostly writing the review so I can find it next time I pass through

Cool, loud and fun little spot inside the airport. As airport restaurants go, this was great. I appreciate the many sandwich and non-sandwich choices. The price was not bad for the amount of food it was and it paired nicely with the ice cold Hazy IPA I got (you can get beer at the attached bar or from the counter you order/pay at). They move you quickly through the line and your food is ready right away if you are in a hurry.

Just like a conveyor belt setup for hungry travelers on their way to their gates. Efficient service but the food was just average. I had the Alex special which is a croissant sandwich with egg and cheese. The croissant had a heavier consistency, which I can only attribute to support the egg or other contents. It's probably the better choice in C terminal at O'Hare.

Cafe style ordering which I'm not overly fond of. I ordered the deluxe roast beef sandwich and fries. Overall it wasn't bad considering it's airport food. I've not had many meals in an airport worth mentioning. Beef was actually pretty tasty but overall it was dry. Fries were ok.

Authentic German fare. The sauerkraut had good acidity and the variety of brat and bockwurst were on point. The pancake sliders were very good. The beer is refreshing and the coffee is strong. We were too full for dessert but the apfelstrudel looked very good and the flourless chocolate cake featured on several tables. The service was grandly and prompt, and the space comfortable and unpretentious. Anyone looking for some old world charm (minus the wafting cigarette smoke) will feel at home.

Best breakfast around! Will be crowded on weekends but worth the wait. Great French toast.

Airport food is generally over priced and mediocre. That being said, the two best options in Terminal 1 are Torta Frontera and Berghoff. The roast pork at Berghoff is very tender and flavorful, without being overly fatty. Other roast meats looked equally well cooked. The fact that each sandwich is made and grilled to order allows them to be crisp and fresh testing...even if they sometimes feel rushed and remove the sandwiches from the grill before the cheese is fully melted. These are messy sandwiches, so if you have the time, I'd recommend finding a communal table near the bar to enjoy it rather than taking it to go.

I was going to give this place a 3.5 rating. But with the establishment being in an airline terminal, it made me think about how awesome there service is and can be. Don't get me wrong this place is good and the food that's offered is a great combination. A bar is available if you want to feel a little loose before you get to your flight. The smell that you get from this place is absolutely enticing. I normally don't drink soda but I wanted to try their root beer, which I think is one of thee best tasting ever! It reminds me of an old fashion root beer how it used to be. Sad that they don't offer Vanilla ice cream to make a float. I got the Turkey BLT and mannn, that sandwich was fresh out of the butcher chop shop. It wasn't salty or dry, it was perfect actually, not too moist. It's wasn't processed turkey, because processed turkey feels a little thick. It was soft juicy and tender. No dryness. I forgot to tell them, no pickles, who likes them anyway.... athletetes?

Hot juicy meat, check; reasonable prices, check; quick service, check; airport location, check. Some other articles and reviews have already highlighted this place as part of the revamp of the O'Hare airport, and from my visit, the compliments are well-deserved and I would very much list this place as a go-to if you find yourself needing a meal at the airport. I had the Reuben, which was recommended by some other reviews, and the meat portion was hearty. The ordering was also straightforward, and if there was a surprise, it was that the line was actually shorter than the restaurants in the food court area. Oh, and for the price, it came out to about $13, which given the recent inflation isn't too different from the Subway by where I live. That in a sense encapsulates this place: Subway prices, airport location, what's not to like.

I would eat here every time I visit! The food is excellent, and the portions are a great value for the price, especially in an airport. If you like fresh carved meats, this place is the place.

Rude, and they literally kick you out before closing. Typical airport trap, but at that price you can let me finish the drink I paid for.

First time eating at O'Hare and this place didn't disappoint. I got the Reuben Sandwich and normally I would qualify things as pretty good "for airport food", but I would say this Reuben was good even if I got it at a normal restaurant or Cafe. The meats they use are freshly sliced in front of your eyes, the slices are generous and moist and juicy without being dry. The line moved pretty quickly even during busy times. I took it to go but there are some seating (not a ton but a decent amount) available at the restaurant. Overall I really enjoyed the food and would definitely return on future travels

Very decent airport fare! There were a few different sandwiches I wanted to try but glad I got the Cuban. It was flavorful and juicy which most airport food is the opposite. Can't say much more about it but I'll be back to try the other sandwiches when I'm traveling to or thru Chicago.

We were grateful to find an O'Hare spot open for breakfast before our early flight. Located next to gate C 26 in the United concourse. My husband enjoyed his egg & sausage breakfast sandwich. I am too sleepy to eat, so I skipped ordering. Polite staff. Very quick service. Absolutely no wait. All masks and social distancing policies enforced. Great experience.

Never thought I would leave a review for an airport food stop, but here it is. I needed breakfast (did you know United does not give complimentary snacks on their flights?!?!). Wow did they have it. Omelets, breakfast sandwiches, wraps, French toast, hash browns, yogurt, bagels, etc. and of course coffee, cappuccino, etc. And you can have your meal there or take your food to go. Worth walking a little further for. And food came out fast! P.S. They also have a bar with breakfast drinks (mimosas, morning mules, etc). I was tempted, but I don't like to use airplane bathrooms.

Not a huge airport food fan, as I always get a bland, cold wrap. But if you are at ORD, get a hot sandwich at Berghoff! You will not go wrong! Good size, full of meat, pickle and pickled pepper. I had the Ruben. Fantastic. #spicemeister approved.

One of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever eaten! The cafe was near my gate and I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did! NY style corned beef is usually sliced thinly. My sandwich featured big thick slices with authentic kraut and a perfect amount of dressing. If you're hungry, and have time to get a sandwich at O'Hare, this is the place to go! Yeah, it's a little expensive, but what airport restaurant isn't?

I got the Turkey pesto panini. The Turkey was kinda salty and the panini overall was meh. Pretty decent for airport food tho and it was warm which was nice

Excellent corned beef sandwich. Nice and toasted. Good price. Fast service. Comfortable feeling

Can't speak to the food here. But it's a decent bar to grab a drink or a beer. Also a good bar to watch a game. Cubs were on and I went with the Adams Street Amber Red Ale on tap. A very tasty slightly sweet with some spicy notes ale clocking in at 4.65% ABV 31 IBU The airport menu is available online at https://www.theberghoff.com/ohare-cafe-menu

The Berghoff Cafe is a local restaurant that serves foods such as sandwiches and pizzas. They also have a bar that serves beers. The employees promptly and politely took my order and processed my payment. I ordered a personal-sized vegetarian pizza, and my husband ordered a Cuban sandwich with a soda. Our total bill was $25 including tax. The food tasted just OK, and we did not finish it and still felt hungry afterward. Plenty of tables and chairs were available for sitting, and televisions showed sports games.

Had a 2 hour delay, and saw a pub like restaurant that caught my attention. Got in line around 6:30 and was about a 15 min wait from start to finish. Ordered the Reuben and they cut the corned beef fresh from a huge chunk. I was given a generous amount of corned beef and I was very grateful (I love meat). Place was super crowded, but luckily found a bar seat. Sandwich was fantastic. Thick cut corned beef sandwiched between two slices of Swiss. The thick cut corned beef made the sandwich and it had the perfect amount of saltiness. The rye bread wasn't as crunchy/toasty as I would've liked, but still very tasty. Perfect ratio of thousand island and sauerkraut. Definitely missing a pickle and some potato chips, but I'm to blame for that. Thank you Berghoff Cafe, I was very pleased. Would recommend to family and friends.
