Berghoff

Update: had dinner here a second time (Jan 2020) and got sick from cross contamination. No longer recommended

Decent German food! Very old restaurant with lots of history. There are a few gluten free options marked right on the menu. All staff are knowledgeable and friendly about Celiac's and GF allergies. The flourless chocolate cake at the end was my favorite part!

Excellent food. Server checked with the kitchen to be sure my order was right.

Many GF options and a great awareness by wait staff and the kitchen. I highly recommend The Berghoff, especially if you want a taste of Munich in Chicago.

Celiac friendly?

Excellent! The food was exceptional. The staff wrote down that we needed gluten free. They had ton of options! So much so that my husband ordered a second gluten free entree so I could try his. We had bacon wrapped shrimp with polenta for an appetizer and they had two options for gluten free desserts! I got the caramel cheesecake! I would highly recommend. So impressed. I will definitely be back.

Celiac friendly?

We went for lunch. Totally took care of the celiac in group. She had the roasted chicken and loved it. The others had the goat cheese salad and the beet salad; both good.

So three meals and no one was glutened, but the food was 'uninspired'. Yes it's an institution, worth a visit, but the foods nothing to write home about (except to say it was safe!).

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the sauerbraten and it was delicious. The gravy is a bit sweet and the potatoes are a bit bland, but add a little salt and its pretty tastey.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The bacon wrapped shrimp was amazing. Everything tasted good. On the menu it said something along the lines of their kitchen is certified by beyond celiac in preventing cross contamination. Everything tasted good and I had no reactions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tried it after speaking to the restaurant via email, reading reviews and discussing at length with waitress. Had the scallops, the zucchini noodles and the bacon wrapped shrimp. Wonderful food but was sick the next day..

Didn't wind up eating there. There was no gluten free beer and no gluten free options on the happy hour menu. The service was very slow and couldn't really answer any questions so we decided to move on and eat somewhere else after the first round of drinks.

Staff knowledgeable. Gluten free items marked on menu. Beef medallions were amazing. Cedar planked salmon very good as well. I would come back again

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had chicken salad and beef medallions. It was yummy.

The stuffed sole was delicious. Gluten free clearly marked. Certified by Celiac Institute. Lots of choices. Not only salads.

Celiac friendly?

Amazing. Celiac-friendly. Tested with the Nima sensor and came back negative. Would definitely recommend.

Celiac friendly?

Had the penne with vodka sauce, didn't have much flavor. Mom gave me her mushrooms from the gf chicken which helped. gf salted Carmel cheesecake is delicious! Thank you! Why can't Cheesecake Factory do that??? Mom didn't lik the texture of what she expected to be mashed potatoes, rice? Ice tea was very good. So was my son's ice cream.

Sauerbraten was excellent. GF Carmel cheesecake was so good!! Lots of GF options to choose from. I'm a celiac and did not get sick. Highly recommend the Berghoff.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great meal. Great sauce. My wife is a celiac and no issues. Great GF Carmel cheese cake.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of GF options including 3 dessert options...I recommend the lemon and white chocolate mousse parfait with Frangelico coffee! Friendly, fast service. Delicious food!

This place was definitely celiac friendly but the food was not that great, which is why we give it only three stars. For the price of the food we expected much better flavor and our meals just didn't deliver.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Haven't tried desserts yet, but the food was great! I tried the beef medallions with no reaction and it was great!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Absolutely delicious. Had the cedar plank salmon, red cabbage, sauerkraut and German potato salad. All amazing. For dessert had the cheesecake and again amazing. A special menu item was mulled red wine, highly recommend.

Ok food. I ordered the gf whitefish. It was ok. But other food was good. FABULOUS gf salted Carmel cheesecake and THE BEST flourless chocolate cake!! Overall it was nice but not great.

Great food. Educated staff. Amazing salted Carmel cheesecake!

fantastic food....I went for the cheesecake but we all enjoyed everything. I'll go back in a heartbeat!!

Celiac friendly?

Wait staff was knowledgeable and they had a variety of options.

Celiac friendly?

Great selection of GF items. My CD son and I had no issues after eating here.

Thank you Find Me GF! Food was very rich and delicious. A real treat! I had the stuffed sole and even splurged for dessert, salted caramel cheesecake! I am so full! Several GF choices dinner menu and a few desserts too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

In a word, Superb! I really enjoyed my meal (saurbraten). Lots of gluten free options, even deserts and cider! Nice wood, comfortable decor and staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Price was reasonable for downtown Chicago. I will certainly be back, maybe tomorrow!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The salted Carmel cheesecake was gf and delicious!! I could have licked the plate

Celiac friendly?

Yes

very knowledgeable server, lots of great options, separate kitchen area and they have lots of gluten-free desserts :-)

It was good and felt safe. I just had potato salad and beets in the café downstairs. The beets were very good. the German potato salad had a little too much vinegar for my taste. I ate it all though.

I can not begin to tell you how Celiac safe it is!!!! Separate kitchen, the GM'S child has Celiac and she is heavily involved in the Celiac circles with U of C hospitals, lecturing etc. according to our waitress Esther! told my celiac friend about it and we will all be back!!!! Best place since our find in central coast California!!

Fantastic food! Wonderful knowledgeable server. Plenty of GFree options clearly marked on the menu. My celiac son and I both enjoyed a safe satisfying meal! Highly recommend. I had the sauerbraten my son had the roasted turkey.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Waitress celiac knowledgable. She brought it up when I mentioned Gf. Menu is a bit limited but definitely recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband and I just stopped by to get a drink and an app... The bacon wrapped shrimp was on point, but only came with three shrimps so you should probably not plan to share this (you won't want to at least). They had GF cider too so it was great for what we were doing! *only did 4 stars because we didn't get a meal there and I don't know what kind of options they have for that.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

decent offerings and knowledgeable staff. the food was delicious. great GF home made root beer! 8 out of 10 check it out worth a longer cab ride. ;-)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Knowledgable about GF and LOTS of options clearly marked on the menu. I give 4 stars because my food (Deconstructed Cordon Bleu) was only OK and there was only 1 cider on the drinks menu.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Friendly service lots of options but just decent food.

Felt like they took GF food choices very seriously. Waiter for lunch was excellent and knowledgeable. GF items clearly marked on menu. Fantastic old chicago atmosphere. Took 2 co workers here on an out of town business lunch. Would definitely return.

excellent food with a ton of choices! all gluten free items are clearly marked and prepared in a separate kitchen with no chance of cross contamination. plus their dessert is delicious! the waitstaff is very good and makes sure to tell the kitchen if you are gluten free to make sure it goes to the dedicated kitchen.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We came here for lunch after reading reviews. My 8 year old son is celiacs and I was so excited for him to have choices. However while the gf menu is nice there are really no options for children. Not one item on kids menu is gf so he ended up getting the $17.00 lamb entree for lunch. There were really no sides except for German salad or cabbage. So he left hungry and frankly I would have gone some where else for the cost. Good for adults not children!

The owner's daughter has Celiac. This always makes me feel safe from the start. The staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. Our bar tender made a special note on our order and spoke to the kitchen too. Tasty food that I would enjoy going back for!
