Laschet's Inn
Laschet's Inn — among the best bar & grill in North Center. Order the Skin. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. Ted Green: "The red cabbage was excellent, perhaps the best anywhere and better than what I make myself" [$$]

“One of my all-time favorites German restaurants in the city! The food is amazing and service r great..”
“Authentic German food and atmosphere. Waiter Greg was very knowledgeable and helpful. Street parking was much easier than expected. Will definitely go back.”
“A+ in every conceivable way from atmosphere to service to food to beer list! We had the chicken schnitzel and goulash both were amazing. Generous portions and great flavor. Will be back soon”
“Laschet's has been my "go-to" restaurant for delicious, authentic German food for 4 decades. Very warm and inviting atmosphere with a friendly and courteous staff.”
“A classic, cozy place if you’re looking for hearty and flavorful food. Amazing German cuisine with an incredible selection. You can’t go wrong with the goulash or schnitzel. Our go-to for an annual holiday feast.”
“I hesitate to post this.... In the 90's I frequented Laschet's. The German beer on tap was always fresh. It was the best German bar in town. Always a lot of fun with well behaved customers ( You did NOT want to upset the owner Franz.). His wife Ursula would bring out a free large pan of food on Sundays. The neighborhood has changed a lot since then. I live in Indiana now and although I frequently go into Chicago, l hadn't visited in close to 25 years. Last night that all changed. After Cake at the Aragon we decided to go somewhere for a beer. I chose Laschet's. Being German it was never a very "friendly" place but always a great place to go with friends. It's literally a time capsule, although now they serve food. Everything was beyond expectations. The pictures tell the story. I look forward to bringing my daughter as soon as she gets back from college. Words cannot express just how great the experience was.”
“Excellent authentic German beer and snacks and more beer in an atmosphere of pure Gemütlichkeit! Come in and try the various authentic seasonal beers! The kassler ribs, the rouladen and of course, the amazing goulash! The Thursday soup du jour is split pea, try it Hamburg style, which is with a couple of veal wieners in it, wow! Sunday it's the amazing liver dumpling soup! Then finish your meal with a free shot of German schnapps! Wunderbar!!”
“We love german restaurants, harder and harder to find. The atmosphere was great!”
