Finally got to check out Schnell's Brauhaus the evening of Sunday 4/14, for the first time ever! Was in the mood for German food after having some fantastic German food at Kegel's Inn up in West Allis, WI this past Friday night 4/12 before the Luke Combs concert at American Family Field! My friend that recommended Kegel's also recommended Schnell's since she herself is German and grew up having her German grandma's amazing cooking from The Fatherland! Anyway, I ordered $125 of take-out from Schnell's this past evening and left a tip of over 30%! In brief, all the food tasted great (fresh, flavorful, and in large portions)! My order was accurate and ready for pick up in 20 minutes! For appetizers, I ordered the Brat Bite Basket, Curry Wurst with Fries, Bavarian Pretzel, and Cheese Curds! For entrees, I ordered the Veal Schnitzel and Sausage Platter, with sides of German Potato Salad and Buttered Green Beans! For dessert, I ordered the Apple Strudel! Like I said, all the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! I think I might be dining in next time I come in though since I saw that the restaurant had outdoor seating in front plus the inside of the restaurant looked clean, cozy and welcoming (they had tvs behind the bar plus an arcade game section). In addition, there were entire families with kids having a great time both inside and outside of the restaurant! So, looks like I won't have to make the schlep all the way to Wisconsin nor ChIraq the next time I'm craving German food!

BEST GERMAN EVER!!! Amazing service! The cheese curds are to die for, they are lightly breaded, so you can still taste the cheese! Just outstanding all the way around! Beer was fresh and crisp! Great prices as well! I’ll be back real soon!

I accidentally asked a young blonde girl for help because I thought she was a server and she was not and she was very mean to me and then her boyfriend came up and caused trouble and I was kicked out of the establishment. I think that they need to understand that I was not trying to cause any trouble and did not deserve to be kicked out of the restaurant. We have always gone here for good German food, and I was absolutely embarrassed by this entire experience.

Good little Palatine gem. German food in a German pub-style setting. Good selection of German beer. Food is heavy and portions are large.

We got sauerbraten and schnitzel and both were delicious!! Service was excellent as well. Loved the decor around the space. The only thing I would have changed was the music was so loud I could barely hear across the table. But otherwise everything was awesome and we will definitely be back.

The food was really good, just missing some spice bit the beer more than made up for it. The service was fantastic as well, even with as large a group as we had.Parking: Shared spaces with other buildings

I really enjoy my time at Schnell's Brauhaus. The bartenders give good service, the drinks taste great, and the food is just as good. Their schnitzel, cheese curds, Spaten lager, and draft beer are delicious. Steven, Christina, and Austin on the staff are very courteous and always make sure you are having a great time. Would recommend to all my friends.

Awesome food and service. Went in with a party of 10 people. Service was attentive. Food was well prepared and delicious. German potato salad is the closest to my mom's that I have had.

Fantastic bar with super friendly staff and great food! We moved to the area recently and this place has quickly become our favorite go-to! Great prices, awesome drink selection and everyone is always so nice. They also have slots and a dart board! We've had a great experience every time that we go and have really enjoyed eating our way through the whole menu!Dietary restrictions: We have a severe peanut allergy and have never had an issue. Staff is always very considerate and cautious with the allergy.
