My son picked this place to teach his children more about their German heritage. And, a wonderful experience it turned out to be!! All of us including 2 teens absolutely loved the food. We shared off of each other’s plates and there was not a negative comment. The wait staff was perfect!! Atmosphere lively, decor enhanced the friendly vibe we all felt. You have to experience this delightful gem.

Love the food here. Great selection of German foods/beers. We go at least once a month. Only downside would be that the kitchen is not open every day of the week (check their website for details). Service is typically great; however, you will wait quite a long time for food/drinks if they are busy.

Absolutely the BEST pork schnitzel and red cabbage! The entire place was totally packed with people from Palatine Fest, but our server, Steven, did a great job! Will definitely be going back!

The best German food I’ve had in a long time. Staci (the mgr.) talked with us for a little while about the menu, while Steven (our waiter) gave us great service. Our meal consisted of Potatoe Pancakes, Schnitzel, Red Cabbage & Spaetzle. – OUT OF THIS WORLD

Schnell’s Brauhaus is a nice German restaurant that offers a nice selection of beers and German food. The restaurant is smaller but there was still plenty of seating when we went. The schnitzel was probably some of the best I have had in a long time with the seasoning. The meal was delicious.

This is one of the best (and only) German pubs around. The menu obviously consists of German food but everything we had was fantastic! The service was great, and the bar and restaurant are both small enough but big enough. It’s a great place to eat and drink with reasonable prices!

What’s not to love about this place! Schnell’s Brauhaus is an authentic family owned German pub and restaurant in downtown Palatine. There is ample parking around the pub and seating both inside and outside. They feature a large selection of German beers on tap as well as wines. All food is made in house and they have German specialties like beef rouladen, schnitzel in beef, chicken or pork, sauerbraten and their in-house made sausages. The inside is typical German hand carved wooden bar, seating and motif. It looks like a lodge you would see in Düsseldorf, Germany. The food was very nicely prepared and was delicious! Everything from the potato pancakes, the sauerkraut, schnitzels and strudel. We tried the veal and chicken schnitzels and both had very generous portions with very flavorful sides. We really loved the red cabbage as it was sweet, a little sour and really complimented our meals perfectly. We really liked that they took a healthy approach by using oil instead of lard to prepare all of the items! The hot apple strudel desert was made with real hand peeled chunky apples and was absolutely delicious. If it wasn’t so busy I probably would have asked if they could sell me a strudel to take home! Tyler our waiter was super friendly, very attentive and made sure we had a fun dining experience. As it’s Oktoberfest season during the time we went and very busy, I noticed the small staff worked hard as a team like a machine to help each other with whatever was needed! The whole staff went above and beyond to make sure you had a good time. We sure will be returning to try more of the other items. Schnell’s is German dining and drinking at its very best! Don’t forget to order the apple strudel! This place doesn’t disappoint!

I ordered a Reuben sandwich. It came with no Swiss cheese, or cheese of any kind. Just some white liquid (mayo). And no sauerkraut. They need a cook who know how to prepare a simple sandwich. The red cabbage was good.

The staff MADE the experience. Our bartender/server was so great, we almost wanted him to join us at the table.
