Karl Ratzsch's is practically a Milwaukee institution, well-known as the place to bring out-of-town guests for a true local experience and some of the city's finest German cuisine. The menu features all the old-world favorites: sauerbraten… Read Full Editorial

Updated Menu for a Milwaukee Classic by Live2Explore via Menuism on 3/1/2015

It had been nearly 20 years since my last visit to this historic Milwaukee eatery, and I was pleasantly...

Excellent Food YES, and Service, so I thought but NO by sn481127 via Citysearch on 7/9/2011

My review is mixed. My wife and I learned about this restaurant from Living Social and decided to try it out. As most of the reviews stated, the food was great with relatively high price and the service was excellent. The server who was in…

Need to go to Germany for cooking Lessons by Russ H via Insider Pages on 6/24/2010

Cook needs to go back to Germany for lessons. Potato dumpling is a scoop of mashed potatoes with some crunchy stuff on. How German is that??!! Mushroom soup was OK with green asparagus, OK how often do you see that in Germany? Rest of…

A truly memorable meal. by Bob R via Citysearch on 9/23/2009

Beautiful German Decor and matching food. \r \r I haven't been in Ratzschs in some 7 years but they did not lose their touch in that time. Perfect environment for truly memorable dinner. My wife, who is of German descent had never been…

Authentic German Food by Albert J via Insider Pages on 5/10/2009

This place has been around since the early 1900s and is a classic. They have a broad range of German dishes and some American classics thrown in. It's a fun place to go and get some great German food.

Excellent by Betty Wade C via Insider Pages on 5/30/2008

This is a very good German restaurant. The servers and staff are excellent. The restaurant besides serving good food, is a showplace for antique glass and china.

Over-priced average food. by Zasius via Citysearch on 4/5/2008

I cannot explain the popularity of Ratzsche's. They try to dress up good German fare but only succeed in burying what would otherwise be decent food in fancy culinary constumes. The results -- for a German at least -- is just plain…

Excellent wienerschnitzel!!! by dmwpic via Citysearch on 11/11/2006

I have been going to Ratzsch's since the 70's. I have never had a bad meal or bad experience. The food has always been the correct temperature. Service has been great. I wish people would try and remember that McDonald's is not the…

Bad food - really!!! by alkfra via Citysearch on 2/10/2006

Ordered Sauerbraten and Wiener Schnitzel = the restaurant specialty (per waitress). Wiener Schnitzel was paper thin, cold, meat must have been in fridge for months. Couldn't get over Sauerbraten's sauce bad taste. $29 for this dish!!! Stay…

Delicious Food by Cathy M via Insider Pages on 7/25/2005

This is a great restaurant. The food is wonderful. The service and cleanliness are outstanding. It is a bit pricey, but well worth the cost, as the food is so good. If you are in the mood for German food, this is to place to go.

Deutches by maestroteodoro via Citysearch on 3/25/2003

For a real German smorgasbord, this is one of my favorite places to eat. The beer is excellent, and the food is stuffing. Really high quality traditional German fare.

Jawohl! by bellis105 via Citysearch on 1/13/2003

One of my favorite plkaes in the dining universe. Yes, it's kischy, yes, it's pricey but the whole thing is fun and the food is great. Especially if the string quartet is playing.

Tourist Trap Warning by Frequent_Flyer via Citysearch on 12/20/2002

Overpriced with mediocre food. It is a shame that a restaurant with a long standing positive image has sunk so low. The prices charged are insulting for what you get. You know things are bad when the only positive comments are about the…

World Class Dining by thomasbillings via Citysearch on 11/30/2002

KR is my second favorite restaurant in the whole world (my first is Sama Sebo in P.C.Hooftstraat, Amsterdam, but that's another story). Raised in Milwaukee but now long departed, I look forward to dining at KR every time I visit.…
