Fondue Stube

Such a great dinner experience! Went with a group to celebrate a birthday, the format is perfect for ordering a bunch of items and everybody gets a little bit of everything. And they lit the chocolate on fire so we could toast marshmallows for dessert! Unforgettable dinner, highly recommend!

Bought a Groupon in hopes to have a great mother daughter date with my teenager. Let’s just say it was a memorable experience. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves. The dim lighting and cute decor was the perfect ambiance for us . This was about a hour drive being we are from the Midway airport area. For it being our first time we felt very welcome. Our server Tick was super patient and explained everything to perfectly! Thank you for our wonderful experience. The only thing I would do different is ask for paper napkins.

Classic, delicious, and over the top charming! My wife and I have been going to Fondue Stube for almost 20 years beginning when we were teenagers. Every time we go, we fall in love with Stube all over again. Everything from the top notch service to the red light atmosphere is exactly the same with every visit, and we hope it never changes. We generally order one of the prefixed menu options. You start with salad and garlic bread. This is then followed by a cheese fondue and then a main course. We've had every kind of cheese over the years, and the swiss is our favorite. The cheddar is a close second. Next is the soybean oil main course, with choices of protein with vegetables. We usually go for the beef, which pairs perfectly with the four available sauces. I always opt for extra broccoli which crisps up beautifully in the oil. Finally for dessert you get a chocolate fondue with several fruits and angel food cake. We added rice crispy treats for the first time this visit, and cannot recommend it highly enough! Throughout the meal, the attentive servers will follow each course at your pace with no rush. The owner, Carole, is so sweet and remembers my wife and I after all these years. She runs a tight ship and guided her staff to treat every customer the same amazing white glove service. Our server, Ricky, has served us many times and is an amazing example of what to notch food service is. Don't miss out on this amazing establishment and the wonderful memories that are made here.

The server was inattentive and didn't guide us at all. He told us cook times and hung out in the kitchen the whole meal. Little did we know the burners weren't set right so the food wasn't cooking. I came off of an 18 hour fast, starving and kept wondering why everything tasted raw... I notified them and they didn't do anything to rectify it. It was disgusting. I've heard so many great things about this place and it was heart breaking to get this kind of experience. As someone who was a server for 15 years and in returants for 20+ this is the first time I've left without leaving a tip and I eat out 5 days a week. I would never go back. Also, the toilet upstairs leaks downstairs into the bathroom.

Fondue Stube is a cozy, fun, and delicious experience. Perfect place to enjoy fine cuts of meats ( including seafood), fresh vegetables, fruits, and other tasty treats, self-prepared in delicate oils, various chocolates, and cheeses. The ambiance is soft and cultured. Great place to savor fine foods & drinks with friends, romance, or even alone... it's just that charming and relaxing (with participative- Fun!). Lot's of street parking available made for an easy arrival.

Had dinner here today. Really nice experience. Good fondue , really liked the chocolate fondue . Staff is very nice. Atmosphere is very cosy and romantic . Got the chocolate and Swiss cheese and beef fondue.

The cream cheese fondue was fantastic and unique! Oil was okay but nothing special, especially the 'curry' dip. I do live roasting the marshmallow over the fudge, though!

Definitely a hidden gem! Our waiter Rick was super professional and helpful. The food was delicious with perfect portion sizes. Very clean and dim lit ambiance. Great date night. We especially loved the cheddar cheese dip with apples and bread

So sad about the closing of Fondue Stube. Heartbroken to learn of this. It was our favorite fondue restaurant. We will miss the amazing food and friendly staff.

This was the best experience. I was here in the early days of their opening. It is intimate with a very cute fine dining experience . The waiter explained everything about the fondue and how we should eat it.He was very friendly and didn't rush the experience . We had the cheese Meat and chocolate combo They start out with warm Garlic Bread and a delicious salad . The cheese comes with bread and apples. The meat was beef It came with fresh vegetables and many sauces Veggies and sauces were unlimited The chocolate experience was you could start out making s'mores There was pound cake and fruits This was the traditional combo I will go back and try something else in the future Yum

So sad to leave this review post mortem :( one of my absolute favorite spots for dinner with great food and even better service. It will be missed!

Amazing service and the price was extremely worth it compared to a chain fondue restaurant that shall remain nameless! The servers were fantastic and attentive without being overbearing. The environment in the restaurant was intimate and cozy. The food was filling and delicious. Fantastic experience.

Great Fondue! Great service! I have been to this restaurant over 10 times and I can't get enough of it. Love the Romeo and Juliet!!!! YUM! YUM!!

We are currently doing a no-dairy, no-grain, no-sugar diet and were looking for a restaurant that would mix up our meat and veggies dinners. Fondue Stube was the perfect place! First of all, punsapalooza on the menu (my favorite being "More than you can Händel") of this fondue meets classical music establishment. We went during Covid and they are doing dine in (no one trusts you with a boiling pot of oil, Karen). The waiter, Linny, was super nice, wearing a mask, and doing all of the Covid-appropriate things. The tables are spaced out for social distracting but we went on a slower night so it was just us. We had the all you can eat beef special--if it wasn't for this diet we would have been all about that cheese--and it was SO GOOD! The beef came with four dipping sauces and the veggies were the perfect dipping size. We weren't expecting it, but the carrots ended up being our favorite. We were excited to find a great date night restaurant close to home. Definitely hit up Carol's establishment if you are in the area!

Fondue Stube has totally become my favorite fondue restaurant. Carol is awesome and she and her family and staff make every visit a fantastic one!

A few girls and I had dinner here this past weekend, and it was a nice experience. The restaurant is cute and service was attentive and helpful. the only drawback is the price/portion. I got the vegetarian, which was more expensive than the demi portions of meat my friends got ($19 vs $16.50) and only slightly less expensive than the full portions at $20.50. The demi portions were a bit small, too. I think they thought the full portion would be too much, but the demi was really too little. One friend turned to me after she finished cooking and said "That really WAS a demi portion." Another had brought her 4 year old and he ate all her meat and a couple veggies, so that's about the serving size. We really loved the raclette, getting an order sans shrimp for me, and one with shrimp. Which literally had ONE shrimp. I was kicking myself after realizing they have a buy-one-get-one coupon on the site. The meat-eaters would have fared much better. Overall, a nice night, but don't make plans for afterwards since you'll smell like a vat of oil!

After having eaten here over 10 times now, it has become a favorite, convenient, consistently good fondue spot. Never had any disappointment and you can always count on: - crispy salad and 3 dressings - hot garlic bread - excellent cheesey fondue - fresh scallops - unlimited veggies - fresh fruit and yummy milk chocolate fondue And finally, excellent service. It's become tradition to come here when you get that fondue feeling and don't feel like driving to Lincoln Park (Geja's) or Schaumburg (Melting pot).

A very nice, if pricey birthday dinner. For what we were paying, it felt like things could have been schmanzier... Like sourdough bagettes instead of dinner rolls to dunk the cheese in, or a chocolate fondue plate that had more strawberries and less watermelon... Is chocolate covered watermelon even a thing? If it is, it shouldn't be. But hey, it was a good time, despite (or perhaps because of) the table next to us with a group of moms next to us who were loudly three sheets to the wind.

The facade doesn't look like much, and inside the decor was kitsch. I don't think they intended it to be, but time has a way of doing these things for you. Anyways, we went for our 5th anniversary and were not disappointed. We got the Swiss fondue and found it was superb with apples! We liked the tartness of the Granny Smith apples. Then I got the shrimp and my husband got the chicken. The sauces were phenomenal; with my husband raving about the raspberry BBQ sauce! We didn't do dessert, but that's because we want something for next time!

My husband and I had fondue for dinner tonight at home. I live in the western suburbs and this a place I really missed since I moved out of the northwest side. Fond memories!

Went here with hubby because we had a Groupon. Have been to Melting Pot and Gejas and wanted to try this place too. To start, parking was pretty good. We had to park on the street, but we were only about a half block down from the restaurant. We were both starving so we were looking forward to this meal and wasn't sure what to expect. The first negative was that service was extremely slow. And I KNOW that fondue is slow, but I'm talking about everything that should have been fast. We had reservations and there were people who were seated after us, who had no reservations and they had their orders taken before us, their drinks before us, their food and so on. It was pretty ridiculous how long we had to wait just to get our orders taken and our drinks (which were not even alcoholic) brought to us. The first thing to come out was the warm garlic bread. It was better than some garlic bread I've had, but not the greatest. Then the salads came and the dressings were fantastic. There is a bleu cheese, a creamy Italian and a white russian. Hubby liked the blue cheese and I liked both of the other dressings. The salad was fresh with a good amount of veggies in it. Next, we had the cheddar cheese fondue. It was very good and was served with apples and bread and I think a couple of mushrooms. I thought the fact that you had to pay extra for any other veggies was a bit ridiculous. After you have eaten the garlic bread, I would have rather had something else to dip in the cheese. The cheese was good and it was plentiful. The flavor was good and the bread and apples was fresh. Next we had the beef and chicken for the entrees. There was not alot of food there, but it was more than enough for both of us. The quality of the meat though was not great. It was not as good as other places we've eaten. Hubby said it was tough and chewy. Chicken was fine. There were some veggies on the plate, too. Onions, mushrooms and broccoli. Only four sauces - sweet-n-sour type, curry (which was not strong curry and very good), bbq and some sauce that was good on the veggies. Not enough sauce styles for my liking and they weren't anything fantastic that we really loved. We had the fudge chocolate fondue for dessert and it was really good. It came with bananas, cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries and pound cake. The dessert was really good and we couldn't even finish everything. I'm not trying to compare them to other fondue places, but considering that we HAVE eaten at other fondue places, there isn't anything that sticks out enough about this restaurant that would make us want to go back. Others are much better in terms of quality, taste and service. Sorry but we just aren't fans.

My husband and I came in at the beginning of the month on a Groupon as an early anniversary celebration, and let me just say - WOW. The service was attentive and wonderful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was intimate, warm, and inviting. 10/10 will definitely be back!!!

This place is a cute vibe. The location doesn't look like much but the restaurant makes up for it. You're welcomed in with friendly staff and we were seated right away. They were practicing social distancing which was nice. We got the Romeo and Juliet which was a good option for couples but didn't come with cheese fondue. The milk chocolate fondue was the highlight of the meal. This is a must have. Perfect for dinner or casual apps and drinks. You gotta try it!

I've been here a few times and I don't know why it took me this long to review. Owner is always extremely kind. When we were making the reso she let us know that the kitchen was closing close to our arrival and helped us make sure we ordered everything we need. The food is always great and fresh and absolutely delicious.

Folks...you've been comparing Fondue Stube to Geja's or other fondue restaurants, in an apple-to-orange fashion. Thinking about it, is that really fair to Fondue Stube when all your praises to Geja's aren't even pertinent to what Fondue Stube can offer? With my science and criminal justice background, I would like to break it down one (1) category at a time, so there's no more two (2) kinds of fruity comparison incident occurring anymore after my review. Like the rest of Americans like to do, acronyms will be used: Fondue Stube (SB) and Geja's (GJS). Raise your hand if you have any question at this time (good...no one did). 1) transportation FS: paid street parking; no valet available. However, it's not difficult in the West Rogers Park neighborhood. GJS: a mix of paid street and neighborhood parking; valet is available for an additional cost. 2) ambiance FS: it's meant to be neighborhood fondue place, so the ambiance is in between formal and informal. The music on point, with some soothing classic music playing in the background. The table is MUCH larger than what you will get at Geja's. I have no problem with the decors in the restaurant; there's no tackiness, except the Chicago Bulls banner by men's restroom is a bit odd, but it's not a big deal with me. GJS: it's meant to be a romantic setting, because you can barely see each other with extreme darkness. The tables between each other are very tight. They have someone professional playing the Spanish guitar. If you want to be a "dark knight" to your lady, then GJS wins in this category. 3) service FS: Miss Carol's son is always there. The venue is intimate enough to have him to run his "one-man-show," unless it's the weekend. He renders great service. GJS: their service is commercial. Those servers are definitely savvy and experienced. P.S. The groupon deal on FS requires a reservation. Do so, and if possible, come early on a weekday because you get to have the entire restaurant to yourself. How awesome! 4) food FS: it's good, I know the bread isn't the best you will ever find and the beef isn't the supreme quality, but they have some menu items that you can't find at GJS, such as the lox creme cheese fondue. You get to order in a more "free" style. This evening we ordered a la carte. We enjoyed what we had and were comfortably full. GJS: there's always so much food. You need to get ready to stuff yourself for three (3) hours spending at the restaurant. They also offer groupon, but I don't believe that they let you order in a la carte style. You better stop eating three (3) days before your GJS reservation! Post-note: yes, GJS does offer supreme-quality food with a large quantity on everything, in comparison to what's offered at FS. I can't deny this fact, but do you ever finish what you have at GJS? I do every time myself, but not everyone else. Overall, you can have a fantastic experience at FS, if you don't already formulate a perception that "GJS is just better." Yelpers and yelp elites: did the groupon not say that "reservation is required?" I read the fine print and certainly caught this sentence. I made the reservation, came in on time, and came in at a right time. If you didn't do so and were turned away, is your two (2)-star or three (3)-star yelp review really fair to FS? I'm not writing to advocate for FS; I'm fairly neutral in terms of rating and wasn't expecting FS should be operated like GJS. A small business runs whatever way it wants. What I experienced tonight was a solid four (4)-star quality on all categories I judged on. Yes, having a groupon helped the total bill tremendously; I paid $13 plus the tip. Now yelpers: can we at least compare the two (2) fondue restaurants in a "red delicious and gala apples" fashion?

I've been a patron of FS for 30 years now. Some people complain that it is too expensive. Its not cheap but the quality of the food is excellent and they give you A LOT! You will not leave hungry, you'll leave stuffed. It's also a special occasion place so why not spend a little more once in a while for a fun and unique experience. They were going to close back in 2010 but decided to stay open because so many regulars, (me included) told them not to close. Glad they listened.

I really liked Fondue Stube. Food: Good quality food. Some of the ingredients are not as high end as some of the pricier establishments, but that's okay with me. They offer unlimited vegetables. No problems here. Cooking: They offer both oil and broth, but what is strange is they give you the oil standard, and there is an extra charge to do broth. This is the opposite of most fondue restaurants. They also use sternos so there is real flame, as opposed to some of the induction burners at other places. Prices/Specials: Very fair pricing. They also offer AYCE (All you can eat) fondue on Monday through Wednesday evenings. Check their website for details. You can also find a nice coupon there. Decor: The restaurant is not as nice as The Melting Pot, but their prices make up for the decor. It is still a nice place to go for a date.

The perfect date night experience! Melted cheese and melted chocolate with scewers to laugh and feed each other with. The food was delicious, and our server, Ricky, took great care of us. He knew the menu like the back of his hand, he brought everything out on a very timely manner, and was hilarious... All this despite being very busy. If recommend this little family owned gem to anyone!!

Came here for dinner. Immediately, place smelled completely like oil. I began to feel a little sick. We got the cheese and the burners. I got a little more sick from all the oil. Our main meal came, and that was it for me. I went through their small entrance door to get some fresh air outside. I paced around the street for a little bit when I ended up throwing up outside. As my group dined, I was washing away my dinner in the street. I came back inside, but my stomach said NO. I left the restaurant giving my group the tab. Couldn't stick it out long enough to pay for them. Yeah, not for people who can't handle severe amounts of oil.

I like the old school atmosphere. It's a quiet little restaurant with classical music contributing to the intimate feel. The service is good and so is the food. The cheese appetizer and chocolate dessert are great. Entrees are small but you can have unlimited vegetables to make a more filling meal. The garlic bread they serve at the beginning of he meal is not very good. Ask for broth instead of oil fondue to create a healthier meal

Food was good and wait staff were attentive on a very busy night, Valentine's. I found the ambiance nice except it was not as intimate as I would have liked .

Consistently wonderful experience. Exceptional service - friendly, fast, and responsive. Wonderful ambiance. And the food was divine. Even our son asked for more.

My friend wanted something different to try. I loved this idea! We ordered the full Monty for two. It included a choice of cheeses, plate of vegetables, bread, soy bean oil for deep frying the meats (chicken, steak & shrimp), and choice of chocolates for dessert at the end. Our cheese was Swiss and it was a perfect compliment to the bread and vegetables. Once you get to the meats there are four sauces: raspberry, curry, steak sauce (A1 like) and another white sauce I can't remember. But it was savory and buttery. I liked the cooking times provided on the menu that assist in the right temperature. We chose the Belgian dark chocolate for dipping our delicacies: banana, strawberry, cantaloupe, watermelon, marshmallow and graham crackers. It was a great way to end it all! The decor is rather dated, and didn't tie into any specific theme, but the fondue was delicious and fun. It's a great, intimate hideaway with lots of family fun and easy side street parking.

A perfect place to go for slow food. Because of the pace of fondue you are forced to relax and have good conversation while your food cooks. And we don't do that often enough these days. Food was great. Perfect family run restaurant, with the owners on site. If we lived closer, this would be a regular dining spot. Take advantage if you can.

Yes! Yess! And YESSSSS!!!! Went here for my belated birthday dinner with my family last weekend - it was the first time here for half of us, and the other half already LOVED coming here. The newbies fell in love after their first dip into the cream cheese (yes, you read that right) fondue, which comes with bagels & fresh veggies. This is my personal favorite!! On to the main meal: some had beef, shrimp, chicken, and scallops - all delicious with vegetables and assorted sauces. Then last but certainly not least, chocolate fondue. We opted for 2 milk chocolate and 1 dark chocolate. The milk chocolate comes with marshmallows which you can roast as they light the fondue on fire for a few moments. Served with fresh fruits, pound cake & pretzels. A hit for everyone and not a drop was left LOL. I forgot to mention the salad and garlic bread, a nice way to start off the evening- I enjoy their white french dressing. I've personally been coming here since the early 1980's, and always leave with a big smile on my face and a very content tummy The atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed - the staff very friendly, attentive and accommodating !

We have always gone to Gejas for there three course fondue dinner but decided to try something new. It's not a romantic decor, just a family owned basic looking place. The pricing is pretty similar for the three course dinners except that here their cheapest option is beef, which we got and devoured. The Swiss cheese fondue was pretty good, came with tons of bread (basic white bread) and apples. The entree of beef and veggies looked small but we were stuffed afterwards. The sauces were pretty good (Gejas wins on that one), but the raspberry sauce was very delicious My favorite part was the dessert. I don't love dark chocolate so a fondue place with amazing milk chocolate fondue makes me so happy :) We will be back, but only with a Groupon And a plus! The waiter and busboy were really nice

We have been enjoying dinners at Fondue Stube for decades and it never disappoints! Besides the wonderful fondue experience, it is a family run business and you always feel so welcome and comfortable whether a special occasion or a last minute fun dinner on a weeknight. Looking forward to our next visit :)

I liked Fondue Stube. I went on a Friday night with a 7pm reservation. Not crowded at all and the restaurant was a decent size. I ordered the Romeo and Juliet with the cream cheese lox fondue. I liked the buttered bagels that were provided with the cheese fondue but not so much the raw onion and yellow peppers. The meat we received was beef, chicken, scallops, talapia and shrimp which were all fresh. I kind of wish we got a bit more because we finished all the meat and veggies. Thankfully the chocolate fondue left us pleasantly full. I'd go back on their "unlimited" nights without a Groupon. Overall the service was friendly and the waiter didn't hover while we ate even though we were there after closing. I'd suggest different sauces because I don't think they necessarily fit the meats being served. We didn't use them and let the meat speak for itself.

Went here a while back. It was more than unremarkable. The food was okay, but not enough to justify going back. The equipment seemed rather primitive. From now on we will stick to other Fondue places we like much better.

Great place, right in my neighborhood. They've expanded the choices over the years so most people can find something they like. Also, if one person is a vegetarian, they bring a separate pot of oil so that there's no meat contamination in the veggie dinner. Dessert is great, except for the caramel fondue. Stick with the dark chocolate. And be sure to start off with one of their cocktails!

Love this place. I always get the cheese, meat, dessert combination. Tasty and fresh. Service impeccable as always. I was with 4 others. They were accommodating. We were not rushed. After we were there awhile the place got quite busy. I was surprised as it was a weekday.

Decided to buy a Groupon for here because I haven't had fondue for a while and the bf had never had fondue. My only other experience with fondue has been at Melting Pot; every time I went there it was exceptional. So, I have high expectations for my fondue! We attempted to come by around 7 on a Friday night and were quickly shoved out the door because we didn't have a reservation and told there were no tables until 9:00. I have never experienced a restaurant that wouldn't take walk-ins (I know those places exist but I have never frequented them). So, that gave me a salty taste for the place without even trying it. But, I had the groupon so I was going to come back. Two weeks later, we made reservations at 9:00. There were only two other tables in the place at that time, so a very different experience. Everybody was very nice this time. The food was pretty good, but really nothing amazing. We got a bottle of house wine and the Romeo & Juliette meal as well as a 1/2 portion of the cheddar cheese. They brought out the salads first with three varieties of dressings, that was fun to try different kinds. The bread was fine, nothing exceptional. The cheese was good, the shrimp was really good the chicken, scallops and steak were good but the fish was bad. I normally eat most fish but just couldn't eat this one. The dessert we got the regular chocolate. It was very tasty and came with a huge variety of dippers. We were too full so we couldn't eat them all! Overall, it was a fun dining experience. After the $50 Groupon, we still paid around $40 (and then tip on that), so not a cheap night, even with the Groupon. I can't say that I'll be back soon, large in part that it's in a pretty obscure location.

Love everything about this place. It is a little outdated but that adds to the charm. It is family owned and run. They are kind and helpful. The food is great and it is all at a great value.

The service was good our waiter was nice. This was the first time trying a fondue and it was actually pretty good. My favorite part was the dessert. This is a great place for a date night

I have not been here in years. We were celebrating my daughter's birthday and so was thinking of a fun place to eat... not a CuckieCheese, real food! Fondue Stube popped into my head. My daughters have never had fondue- so it was a new adventure. We watched a YouTube video on what fondue was... ironically the one we saw said that if your food falls off the fork while cooking, the person to the right of you has to make you do something. This definitely added to the fun. While this review should definitely mention the attentive service and amazing food, I cant say enough about how wonderful of an experience this was! Fun to be had for sure!!!

Been to the Fondue Stube a number of times over the years. Recently went and was happy to see they are very COVID conscious, which made me feel at easy while eating there. The food is simple, good quality, and reasonably priced. I prefer their quality of meat and vegetables over other fondue places. The owner and her son are very friendly and provide great service. This continues to be my go to for fondue.

Give a girl chocolate and cheese, and you've got yourself a deal. Pay attention to their weekday specials - totally worth it. And for the specials they have put together, it comes out to about the same as a-la-carte. so go for it. Don't go here for the Meat Fondue meal and expect yum - it taste like nothing. Just go for the: Chocolate Fudge Fondue Muenster Cheese Fondue TIP: Go to the site and get their BOGO coupon.

Eh, this place is okay. I guess I'm not that big of a fondue fan since I don't think the price is worth it. We could've bought the ingredients at my house, pour some oil into a pot, then fondue ourselves for a much cheaper cost. My friends and I came for both dinner and dessert. We felt the dessert portion was more worth than the dinner. All 8 of us ordered the Romeo and Juliet. We were given steak, fish, shrimp, scallop, and veggies with different sauces. The veggies could be refilled but the others don't. Our waiter told us that we could ask for more veggies when we're done but that didnt seem to happen. He never came to our table to check up on us aside when we're all done with dinner and getting ready for the dessert portion. All of us came home smelling like oil! This restaurant is so filled with that smell, so be sure you wear something that you don't mind washing right away because the smell will stay on your clothes for a day!

This was my second time at this establishment and most likely my last. The cheese was of very low quality and the apples that came with were already turning brown by the time they reached us. Ordered the beef for my main house, not a good cut of meat by any means. The best part was the dessert, good selection of items to dip in the chocolate. The best was the angel food cake and bananas. I will not be returning. The end

Chris and Ricky and their excellent service!! Food was amazing. I will definitely come here again. Amazing choices of wine, and yummy martinis. Must check it out!

We had a great time and the wait staff was attentive and friendly. This place has been here for years and it's decor is dated. The fondue was good and it's a fun place to come. I will definitely go back.

I liked the food a lot and you should go here but there is a couple of negatives. One is the atmosphere. A lot of the people were dressed casual and it don't seem that fancy for a Saturday night also the carpets were kind of dirty. The starter was probably my favorite (cheese fondue). The dessert was an amazing experience and I thought the main dish of chicken and beef was fine.

I had a good time here. we had Sinfonia Eroica. it begins with a Swiss cheese fondue, then beef fondue with fresh vegetables, lastly fudge chocolate fondue. Food: Good Price: Great - suggesting to bring coupon from the Web or Groupon Service: Good Ambience: Good I would like to go back on Tuesday/ Wednesday for fondue unlimited.

I am a huge fan of Fondue Stube! This cute little fondue restaurant has been around for more than 30 years, and offers appetizers, entrees, cheese fondues, class styles, soybean oil fondues, and even 'Fondue Unlimited' evenings! I've tried their Cheddar Cheese Fondue (an aged, mild cheddar mixed with Swiss cheese, mixed in with a bit of Kirschwasser) - this option comes with traditional French bread and cubed apple slices. You can also opt to add fresh vegetables slices for a surcharge. I've also gone for their AYCE Beef option, which comes with cubed sirloin beef, fresh veggies, and four of the house's special sauces. I love how Fondue Stube does not lessen the quality of the sirloin beef, as each cube is fresh and not too fatty! Their sauces are quite addicting as well, so don't be shy in asking for more! Service here is friendly, too, and parking is plentiful off of Peterson. The owners were about to close the restaurant for retirement, but because of such a strong fan following and the urging for them to continue to stay open, they are staying put! Check this place out! +yummy fondue! +Fondue Unlimited: Tues & Thurs: Chicken/Fish/Scallops; Wed: Beef +coupon available +reservations accepted +free parking off of Peterson

My fiancée, her dad and I all went to Fondue Stube with groupon in hand and expectations of some wonderful fondue sharing experience. Well, things didn't go as planned. Unfortunately our experience wasn't the best, even though we managed to have a good time there. Their all you can eat $30 specials specifically prohibit sharing. They bring a tiny little plate with few pieces of chicken, fish, scallops and some fancy sauces... And a couple of vegetables on the side. My cream cheese fondue wasn't anything specific. The only one that was truly good was original Swiss cheese fondue. And if it wasn't for outrageous prices it would've been a better experience. Service was okay. The server was really loud and when we discreetly asked them about what people were eating at the table next to us he yelled -- "well then are eating..." Which made us and them feel a little uncomfortable. Overall: if you're going there get one of the cheese fondues. And chocolate one is good too! Oil fondues are rip offs... And cream cheese fondue is a disappointment.

I was here for the first time for a valentine date, and by far it was a cute and romantic place. The theme and music is refreshing and easy to talk to your partner and or friends. I had Rick as my server and he made it so welcoming and fun! I highly recommend him!

Well I have to say, I'm a die-hard fan of the Fondue competitor of Fondue Stube in Chicago, so they had a lot to live up to. I almost wanted it to be some solid competition however, because it's in an easier neighborhood to get to, and just in case something happened to the other spot (Heaven forbid). The truth is... everything just isn't that special. The portions were small for the price, the atmosphere desperately needs a little lift, the whole place felt a little cheap for the kind of atmosphere you would expect for a romantic fondue restaurant. Our server was very nice but not very well spoken or charming (something I think is actually helpful for these sorts of restaurants). Anyway, I can always overlook average service for quality of food. That's really what counts, and the truth is, it just wasn't that special. You could have bigger portions, more dipping sauces, they need updated plates, table covers, wall decorations, etc. Give it a shot if you like fondue, maybe your experience will be better than mine!

Place been around longer than I've been alive, same location all of these years,,, back in high school daze, used to pass by all the time. Ate here in 1979 or so, it was great. Cheesey delights.
