Jim Glunz is awesome. Although his restaurant has grown in popularity over the last three years he still never forgets a face. I've been to every German restaurant in the city and this is the best (the Brauhaus being a close 2nd) ...also I go all over Chicago eating and drinking and this place is my home away from home. Try all the beers - they have the most thoughtful beer selection in town and they don't apologize for not offering tasteless domestic beers. They slow pour every beer 7 authentic German minutes. The food is great - I assure you that every dish is served from real, fresh ingredients. They even make their own desserts. Highly recommend the local jazz on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 8PM. It is the most relaxing scene in the city. So walk right up (there is always parking on Warner Ave.) and ask for a beer recommendations - Jim will be happy to help.
Pros: Food, beer, waitstaff, owner on hand
Cons: I don't live closer to this place
