With the exception of the arrival of frontera tortas, this is the only reliable dining spot in O'hare. Fresh cut-to-order lunch sandwiches and fresh breakfast make you believe you are not in an airport.
Mediocre German food - but a Chicago landmark. Go for the sandwiches, their house-label microbrew, & their root beer. The main courses (sauerbraten, schnitzel, etc.) are consistently disappointing. The kitchen excels at destroying vegetables.
great place when your stuck in the airport
Best food in O'Hare and a great memory of the old restaurant.
For airport food, it's great.
