Such amazing food! Awesome staff! Everything comes out perfect every time. We have been comming here for the past 5 years and ever time it's perfect read more

Great service, staff super nice. Food is above average food. Prices nice enough to try it all. Cheese curds for sure along with the potato salad. Prime rib sandwich is tender a large portions. And of course the beer, go for the sure thing; spotted cow on tap. read more

There claim for the largest urinal in the midwest might be false. The place that holds that honor in my opinion is "The Mutiny Corp" in Chicago http://www.yelp.com/biz/3Idhzbu3qHyLHz0X73-T1Q With that a side the Glarner Stube is great. Good beers and amazing service, the bartender was so nice (her drinking could have something to do with that). read more

Loved. Great service and great food. Got there in a cold Saturday afternoon and sat right down. Had a cold NG fat squirrel on tap right away as we paired it with some cheddar cheese curds with an Asian beer batter. Then we had the fonduded beef which was really good (although somewhat chewy) with horseradish cream sauce that came with a Roesti potato and cheese cake. The best was a pork schnitzel sandwich that was so tender and juicy (add the horseradish sauce and it's even better). We had a great time. Would give this 5 stars but felt like prices were a bit high for what we had. Would come back though. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a holiday weekend in May 2018. Located in downtown New Glarus this place is an American-Germen food restaurant. A bit more touristy than I like, but the food was pretty good. Had the Rueben Sandwich and an order of Wisconsin Cheese Curds. The Wisconsin Cheese Curds were on the large size and nice and hot. Good tasting Rueben sandwich. The front of the restaurant is a traditional bar (where you can get good at the bar) and the rear of the restaurant is traditional restaurant seating. Kid friendly and good for groups probably 8 persons or less. The place was pretty busy with a community music fest going on outdoors, but we got seated promptly and service was decent. read more

Was looking for a place for a quick lunch and happened across the Glarner Stube. From the line of people waiting to get in we figured why not? Good choice. Sat at the bar as we like to people watch and interact with the bartender. Ordered the cheese fondue appetizer and the pork schnitzel sandwich. The food came out quickly. The fondue was pretty decent and the schnitzel sandwich was really good. Very juicy. Its a very charming room. Lots of small town character. Would have stayed much longer and had more food and drinks but had to get on the road. Looking forward to going back here the next time we come to town as the menu looks really good. Follow the crowd if you are in a town you haven't been before. Its worth it. read more

This is a wonderful bar/restaurant with a definite Swiss flair. We shared the cheese fondue which was more than enough for the four of us. My wife loved her weinerschnitzel, which was a huge portion. My parents each had Reuben sandwiches, which got high marks too. If only the Packers had won, it would have been a perfect visit. read more

First time eating here and it was amazing. I had the scallops and hubby had the 22oz prime rib special. Not only was the presentation beautiful but the flavor was superb. Our waitress Rosie was awesome. Will definately plan another date night here. It's on the high side of $$ if you arent prepared but oh so worth it. Was so full that we couldn't try the desserts. read more

Wow! This place was ridiculously good!! You've got to try the cherry red ale; best beer I ever had! I had the Reuben yum ridiculous! We also had the beer battered cheese curds! Wow!! read more

We ordered 2 orders of Ruschti to go. Pretty much got 1 order & paid for 2! Furthermore it was TERRIBLE! Will not be back & we live in the area! read more

Went for lunch with a couple of friends and really enjoyed the food. The deep fried cheese curds were amazing and our table could not get enough of them. I could have personally eaten another full plate of those cheesy morsels. My sandwich was just OK but the potato side dish made the meal. I can't remember the name of the potato dish but it was fried, cheesy, salty goodness. I would definitely go back just for that side dish. Everyone also enjoyed the food and the beer selections. read more

Between the ambiance and the quality of food, my experience here was perfect. Originally from Milwaukee, and having lived in Madison for the last five years, this was my first time to New Glarus, and the schnitzel was perfect. The cheese curds here was tremendous, as well. But more than my main entree, the sauerkraut with the onion cream sauce was insanely delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Why does this place have good reviews??five of us came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Long wait and not worth it. Only good thing we're the roesti potatoes with cheese. Swedish meatballs were terrible. Sauce was the worst I've ever had. When I told the waitress , she said I would have to pay for them even if I didn't eat them. My son had the flank steak sandwich and he said the meat was awful. Didn't eat it and that never happens. My husband had the prime rib sandwich and liked it. It wasn't on the menu but he requested it. My daughter had the chicken breast with tortellini. It was tortellini with nothing in it with cut up chicken. Super boring. I would absolutely never come here again.below average food. And who tells you you have to pay for the food when you don't like it. Expensive and bad. Do not come here. No one liked their food. Service was not good. I would rather have gone to culvers or a grocery store and bought a sandwich. read more

Love this place, and food. We were there yesterday. Disappointed the last few times at the vegetable side. Your fresh, tender green beans were the best! read more

Really enjoyed lunch here. Prime rib sandwich was one of the best we've ever had. Perfect service and welcomed our 3 year old daughter with a kids menu and crayons. read more

Old world decor and great service makes this a must when visiting New Glarus. Delicious flank steak sandwich with a side of Rösti potatoes was very good! Cheese plate with nuts and fresh bread was right on the mark. Pork sandwich and wieznershitzel was some of the best I've had. Good beer selection. read more

Four of us from Quincy Illinois visited the brewery and then came here for lunch. Had to wait a little because it was busy. The wait was worth every minute. We had cheese curds and fiesta for appetizers. What a great way to start the meal! Three had Ruebens and I had the schnitzel. All were delicious. Service was excellent. Definitely worth the trip! Thanks read more

Super tasty food. Friendly waitstaff. Great atmosphere. We enjoyed the time we had in New Glarus.

Great atmosphere, loved the cheese curds!!! I had the flank steak sandwich. It had a lot of flavor. I chose fries for my side and they were probably one of the best fries I've had. So glad we stopped in. They also had Serendipity and Strawberry Rhubarb on tap...yum!!! read more

Besides the brewery, this is the 2nd greatest place in this charming little piece of Switzerland. If you get a beer at the brewery, you'll get a voucher for another free beer in town, and you should most certainly have it here. Not only do they have 8 different New Glarus beers on tap, the services is cordial, and the food is delicious and one-of-a-kind. The sandwiches are good, but make sure to get the roesti, which is basically a giant hash brown with melted swiss cheese fondue pancake. You won't be disappointed. The cheese curds deserve their own paragraph. They are quite simply the best I've ever had. Ever. While most of the rest of the state serves the smaller, pellet sized, breaded curds (perfect in their own right), Glarner makes them larger than bite size and beer batters them. This process gives you gooier cheese and a more tasty final product. This town has basically become my happy place and I hope it becomes a lot more peoples' happy place, too. read more

Fun little destination in New Glarus. Fun atmosphere (which was actually an old bowling alley!). Tons of knick-knacks to check out. Great service! The food was delicious! I had a real craving for red cabbage and this place did NOT disappoint! Also had the fondue and Reuben. It was absolutely delicious! Only thing that soured this meal was my companion's inability to hold his beer that night at another establishment. This led to a re-introduction of that afternoon's fondue.

Glarner Stube - Front entrance - American Near Me - New Glarus, Wisconsin

I have an obsession with New Glarus. Between you and me I used to pluck daisies and daydream about running for mayor. Turns out New Glarus doesn't have a mayor. When I was a kid I thought I would grow up to be a dinosaur. Once I found out that dinosaurs were extinct and even if they weren't there was no way I could become a dinosaur, I was devastated. Same story for my New Glarus political ambitions. Sigh. All this is a long way of saying that New Glarus is a special place, and the Glarner Stube is the Hope diamond of the town...without the freaky curse...I think. If you're dining at the Glarner Stube you're obligated to get the fondue. Here's hoping you're not eating with a chip on your shoulder because, honestly, the fondue should fill you up. If you're going to fondue then I suggest you either make that your meal or split an entree with a pal. If you don't have a pal start gabbin' at the bar. Someone will come to your aid. If that doesn't work then call me. Guaranteed I have nothing better to do than eat fondue with you. If fondue isn't your thing then try a traditional Swiss dish. Not so hot if you're meat averse. Vegetables are only a wicked rumor in the cantons of Switzerland. I cannot recommend the deep fried cheese curds highly enough. Same goes for the New Glarus beer, which is damn near impossible to find outside of Wisconsin. The Glarner Stube is also famous for its gigantic urinal, billed as the largest in the Midwest. Whether the Midwest includes Ohio and/or Kansas is beyond me. Whether the urinal is in fact smaller than the one in the Mutiny in Chicago is of no interest. I do know that I have four postcards that depict the famous urinal. Pretty sweet, right? Now if only I had someone to send them to. Glarnerphiliac Insider Tip o' The Day: The Glarner Stube closes every February or March. (I think it's March.) The family that owns the place goes snowmobiling for a month. read more

This restaurant took me by surprise. From the outside it seems to be an unassuming pub, but inside is quaint and warm and welcoming. The restaurant was packed! We waited about 20-25 minutes for a table, but it was well worth the wait. Our table got the center cut steak sandwich with beef stroganoff soup, the schnitzel sandwich, Gary's bow of beef, and the roesti. All the food was fantastic! The roesti was the perfect combination of crispy hash browns and creamy Swiss cheese. The steak and schnitzel was tender and delicious. Additionally, the food was moderately priced. We will definitely be going back next time we are in town read more

By no means am I an expert on New Glarus nightlife. However, Glarner Stube has a few things going for it. First of all the vibe is totally chill, but from my experience, this is the case throughout Wisconsin. Second, the owners are really cool. Nice guys who've owned the place for a decade or two. Third, they have this cute little tradition where you attach a silver dollar to a thumbtack and a dollar bill and throw it at the ceiling, getting the tack to hold the dollar in place. But most importantly, they serve Wisconsin Belgian Red from New Glarus Brewery. In all my travels and in all my experiences, this is the finest beer on the planet. I had bought a few bottles from the brewery earlier in the day, but wanted to fill my stomach with the stuff before departing. Like most Belgian beers, they are served in 750 mL bottles. And despite its ruby red color, and floral boquet, it's really, really heavy beer. However, this didn't stop me from downing the first bottle in quick order. Or the second. I got half way through the third, and slowed down a bit as I got so full, as well as groggy. But I forged on and finished that bottle as well. The bartender said in all their time they've served it, they've never seen anybody drink like that. I wear this fact like a badge. read more

Ever since I first had roesti in Switzerland nearly 20 years ago, I have wanted to find a restaurant in the US that made it as good as I remembered. When the folks at New Glarus Brewery recommended this place, we put it on our must try list and finally had the opportunity to go tonight. We arrived just before 8pm on a Saturday thinking we would have missed the dinner rush but not so! The place was bustling and we waited about 15 minutes for a table. When the roesti arrived, we were told it was served family style but I didn't want to share! However, good as it was (crispy potatoes with tasty Swiss cheese oozing from inside), we ended up not only sharing but bringing some home! Husband had the Wiener schnitzel and loved it, and commented that butter was used generously! We split a piece of apple pie for dessert and while I would have preferred it warm perhaps a la mode, my husband disagreed saying that he preferred it cold - that the cinnamon flavor was more pronounced. It seemed obvious that this place was full of locals - everyone seemed to know each other but it would not be a good place for a quiet romantic dinner. Oh, almost forgot to add that they serve a variety of New Glarus beers on tap. read more

Glarner Stube - Wiener schnitzel with roesti in the foreground - American Near Me - New Glarus, Wisconsin

I love bars like this - wish we had more of them here in Chicago! Everyone here is so friendly and warm. They serve New Glarus beer, of course, with a host of authentic Swiss entrees and American food. I wasn't expecting much from it and was so pleasantly surprised. First, you have to get the swiss fondue - how can you go to a swiss bar and not get it? So delicious, with huge chunks of sourdough bread to dip in it. By the time we had finished with the cheese fondue, we were almost full, but we decided that we had to try some of their unique offerings anyway. My husband had some kind of thing called plasteli (not spelled correctly!) which was a combo of veal, chicken and pork served with mushrooms in a creamy sauce. He was in heaven. Being incredibly full and ready for some veggies, I had the vegetable platter. Now, only in Wisconsin can a vegetable platter manage to be a forbidden treat! My delicious prepared red cabbage, broccoli, and grilled portobello came with a side of potatoes. I picked the Roesti, which is some Swiss type of dish - hash browns with onions and swiss cheese. The platter was seriously the side of a huge serving dish, and they were so darn good! As we were ready to roll out the door because we were so full, we inadvertently forgot our leftovers. Which was a total drag because we were craving those potatoes a couple of hours later! read more

First of all, if you have an army that you need to feed, this is the place to come. We started with the fondue, which is probably more than a pound of cheese. We just expected this to be an appetizer, but it could have been a meal for at least three or four people. One recommendation is that they change it so that there are different size fondues for different size parties--that way they could include other food like potatoes and such instead of just bread. However, it was delicious. A nice tang of brandy rounded out the cheese flavor. After the gigantic appetizer arrived, our entrees came out. I got the wedge salad which was fresh and delicious. The hubs had the brat, which was gigantic and tasty, and a side of rosti. Imagine rosti as a delicious hash-brown, but at Glarner Stube they up the ante by adding cheese in the middle. The food is really inexpensive for the quality and amount, and the beer is pretty cheap too. They have all of the New Glarus beers, and even one or two that weren't on tap at the brewery. Definitely check it out when you're in New Glarus. read more

I chose Glarner Stube for dinner after a long afternoon of drinking beer at New Glarus brewing. The reviews seemed to indicate that this was THE place to eat in town. I walked to Glarner Stube from my hotel, so I didn't deal with parking, but it looks like it was street parking only. As we entered the place, I was surprised by how small it is inside. The front is a classic bar layout... skinny room with bar on the left. There wasn't even enough room for tables on the right though. Going to the back brings you to a very small dining room with roughly 10 tables. We were seated at a small 2 person table by the wall. The atmosphere was dark and classic with lots of wood and old fashioned looking stuff. I was glad that it was a Wednesday evening and not busy at all, because I would have felt very claustrophobic if the dining room were filled to capacity. We had been given coupons for free small beers from New Glaurus Brewing, so we started out with those. They had a decent selection of beers to choose from. The waitress seemed disengaged. She was very superficially nice, but it seemed like she was just going through the motions. It made me a little uncomfortable. The food was OK. My sausage was overcooked and it took 10 minutes to get a waitress to bring me some mustard. The German potato salad was warm and sour and tasty. My wife ordered the roesti and it was delicious! It was also a huge serving, so there was plenty for us to share. She also ordered some kind of veal dish, but I cannot remember the name. I do remember liking it more than my sausage. I also liked that the green beans were not cooked to death. I like them when they are still green and have a little snap left in them. The sad part is that we were so full from drinking so much beer all day that we could not finish our meals or try dessert. We didn't even order another beer after our free ones. (I felt a little bad about that, but I simply couldn't fit anything else in my belly.) I really wish I could have spent a little time sipping a beer at the old fashioned bar. Maybe next time. Overall, I found Glarner Stube acceptable. I didn't find it to be as amazing as some other reviewers. That could be due to having reached the limits of my gastrointestinal systems, the less than stellar service, or a midweek lull. I would give Glarner Stube another shot if I was in the area, but I wouldn't make it a destination. read more

Ready!?!? Picture this . . . cool afternoon or night late in fall . . . you're with friends or just a copy of Jack Kerouac and you say "man I'm hungry in a non metaphysical way" . . . you see the Stube . . .you walk in . . .either sit at the bar on in back which makes you feel as though you're in 1680's Switzerland or Germany . . you order a local beer (new glarus brewing company spotted cow) or a warming brandy . . . get a meat (or plain cheese) fondue and spend the next hour thinking about who invented a molten bowl of cheese and decided to dip meat and bread in it . . . . Back to reality now . . . well . . . it's kinda the same! Great place to catch up with friends, meet new ones and simply let your mind wander and relax. New Glarus is a great town for this (as are many in the area) and you simply cannot go wrong with the Glarner Stube! read more

I absolutely adore the town of New Glarus. A Swiss/European town in the Southern Wisconsin. We stopped at the Glarner Stube for a meal on an epic bike ride and it hit the spot. Inside is a cozy setting, bar in the front, and dining in the back. A party bigger than 5 or 6 can get a little crowded. We started with some beer and cheese curds. These cheese curds were GIGANTIC! It was like cheese curds on steroids. Yellow curds battered in a light fluffy batter. I highly recommend them, but bring friends to help you finish! I had the brat sandwich which was very tasty. My friends has the pork schnitzel and another friend has the meatball dinner. Both of those looked (and tasted according to them) amazing. If you're in town, tour the brewery, then stop by Glarner Stube for a nice German meal. I highly recommend it! read more

After reading some reviews and having been mentioned in an article in the Chicago Tribune, it sounded like this was THE place to go. I'd agree with that sentiment. It's a very casual restaurant with neat decorations, all of which look like they came from the New Glarus Brewery store. They had a pretty sweet huge bottle cap sign with the New Glarus Beer logo on it. After seeing this, I had to buy it ($20) at the brewery. But, back to the restaurant. They definitely have all the New Glarus beers on tap that you'll find at the brewery, and maybe a couple more. It's $2 for a 7 oz glass if you just want to try the beer, and $4 a pint. Not too shabby. The beers are delicious. A must have if you're in New Glarus. Now the food. Pretty authentic (or at least authentic in my mind) Swiss food. I had the Schubling (mild sausage) which comes with a side, so I went with the Roesti. My boyfriend ordered the Swiss meatballs, also with Roesti. My sausage was about 12 inches long, which was pretty big, but I knew I could handle it (just try to ignore the double entendre!). The sausage was pretty tasty, as were the side of green beans that came with it. The Roesti is just like American hash browns, but a little creamier, because it is cooked with swiss cheese. My boyfriends balls were also delicious (again, try to ignore it!), but it's a shame they only gave him two. I think for the price, they probably could have given him a ball or two more. Let's talk about the price. Yikes. $15 for each of these plates. With three pints and two glasses, our total came to around $55. That was a hard one to swallow. I mean the food is VERY good so it's almost worth it, but it's still hard to justify that price. I guess they know a lot of tourists are coming here, but still. I think it would have been better at $10 a plate. Overall, a great place, if you can handle the price. Beware that they get pretty busy. We came here about an hour after opening and the entire dining hall was full. We ate at the bar. Oh and check their website for days they are closed. I remember seeing a sign that said they would be closed in January. read more

I've been coming to New Glarus for over 30 years and to the Glarner Stube nearly as long. The place has a permanence and old world charm rarely found on this side of the Atlantic. It reminds me of my favorite german restaurant in Chicago - actually my favorite restaurant period - Laschet's Inn on Irving Park near Lincoln. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The service is excellent and the waitstaff and bartenders are pleasant and real. The food has never dissapointed, always fresh and well-prepared. The menu has something for everyone. Soups, fondue, sandwiches, steaks and cheese curds that are outstanding. The bar features many varieties of fresh, local New Glarus beer on tap so to not give the Glarner Stube a five star rating would be wrong, and I don't throw out five stars very often. read more

Drove to New Glarus to take a tour of the famed brewery with my sister, and we were in need of a solid lunch spot before-hand. Read the reviews on Yelp of Glarner Stube and we were all, "Oh helll yesss." The review by Chris W. really convinced us that is where we needed to be... We took seats at the bar and marveled at the New Glarus brews on tap. We checked the menu and were in love. Swiss meatballs for me, pork schnitzel for sister. I ordered a side of red cabbage and the Roesti. Sister ordered a side of German potato salad. I had a pint of the BlackTop IPA (I'm a hophead) and sis order the Two Sisters lager. Okay. They bring out a basket of warm bread and butter. This bread was AWESOME. Warm, crusty, the inside soft and the nooks and crannies grabbed the butter superbly. Such good bread. The bartender brought out our meals and here is where the magic happened... The meatballs were in a silky, tasty, wine and mushroom gravy. The meatballs themselves were a dense, perfectly seasoned mix of veal, pork and beef. YUM-STAR. The red cabbage were vinegary and warm and oh-so tasty. Sister's pork schnitzel was not as crispy-breaded-fried as the Yelp reviews reported, so that was a tad disappointing. The meat, a little dry. Wah. We WANTED to love the pork schnitzel. So bad. But we only liked it. The German potato salad was probably the best I ever had. Vinegary, not a gluten-y mass off yuck, and small, tasty chunkers of bacon. Homina, homina, homina.... Best. The money shot? THE FREAKIN' ROESTI, YO. Okay. Imagine this: a salty, cheesy potato-y cake of love. Pure love. This, my friends, is Roesti. Don't you dare call them hashbrowns. Because they're not. Yeah, they're shredded potatoes - hashbrown-like in the technical sense, and cheesy. But not some run of the mill cheddar. FREAKIN Gruyère, y'all. Swiss-missy lovely Gruyère. In a fried potato-cake. 'Nuff said. All in all, hell yeah. Go there. The ambiance is local, yet tourist-y. We went on a Friday afternoon, around 1pm. Locals, mostly, from our assessment. Not crowded at all. As we were finishing up, a cane-wielding, crouched older gentleman came in, sat himself at the bar. The bartender immediately gave him a shorty of beer and handed him the dice cup. I loved that. Old man shook the dice cup and won a stack of bills. This told me it's a local place where gentleman of a certain age are respected, and tourist-y gals like sis and me are honored. Love that. read more

Love this place! You absolutely have to order the fondue- it's enough for 3 or 4 as an appetizer or 2 as an entree. Or you can do as the wife & I do: get it as an app, eat half & take the rest home. Fantastic stuff. I can also highly recommend the dry-aged steak and the roesti potatoes. Very good local beers on tap too. If you go on a Fri. or Sat. night then try to go early- the place will fill up & you will wait. read more

Planned to eat here after skiing. Checked their website. Yep, they were open. Based on reviews, we were really looking forward to it. We got there, and found a sign on the door "closed until March 5th". You'd think a place that has a substantial website with menus, pictures, history, etc could list something important enough as an extended closing. Not this joint. read more

Go hungry, leave stuffed and with leftovers. What a cute place! We sat in the back and had a great time here. Our waitress was really sweet and we started off with a yummy cheese plate that was quite big to go along with our beers. I had the prime rib (the 20oz mind you) with yummy sides. There was so much food. Everything was so tasty. I'm a proud member of the clean plate club, but even I couldn't finish it. Fortunately our hotel had a mini-fridge. Great service, very nice people, well located in town. Would definitely go back. read more

I really don't know under which circunstances some people like the food of this restaurant (and believe me, not even the beers we had at the brewery helped to make the food taste better) but it didn't make the cut for us. We haven't been to Switzerland yet but I think we can recognize when something taste really bland, burned or greasy and everything we tasted had either one thing or the other. Very dissapointing. I had the perch sandwich which had two breaded fish fillets and two slices of swiss cheese and on the side lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce. Very greasy and bland, all I tasted was oil. For my side I asked for their famous "roesti"(a potato pancake with dots of yellow and white cheese) also, very greasy and the bottom was completely burned, WOW. My hubby had a ribeye, he asked for medium well and it was rare, we let the waitress know about that and she took it back, second chance, it was exactly the same! And we had to pay $30 for that, WOW. The two stars are for a potato bacon soup we had, that was the only good thing we had there. It is unbelievable how a restaurant do not pay special attention to the dishes they serve to customers, I don't think we will be back. read more

Great food and liked the atmosphere. I would definitely eat here again. Loved the roesti.

This is our third visit. Our first was when we "discovered" it by accident about 2 1/2 years ago. This is located in our favorite WI town, New Glarus! The Swiss architecture in this tiny village and the church, little park, shops, restaurants, and bakery, always makes this a fun place to visit. The restaurant is in an old building that fits into the Swiss architecture of the village. When you step inside it is like you've been transported to Switzerland! The bar is in a long narrow room with old, dark, wood floors and light-colored wood planked walls on which Swiss pictures hang. On long narrow shelves along the top of the walls sit Swiss beer steins and other nicknacks. The dining room is in the back, past the bar, with a similar decor (There is also an old wooden crossbow hanging on the wall!) and rough hewn wooden posts and beams. We were sitting at a small wooden table for two and a waitress promptly came by to tell us the night's special (Sauerbraten) and give us water. We ordered the special to share (NO SPLIT CHARGE!) with soup and salad. For sides we red cabbage and Roesti (The excellent Swiss cheesy potato hash browns kind of thingy.) Our special came with green beans, too. The waitress brought us bread and butter as we were waiting for our meal. The bread was excellent! It was a French demi baguette roll that had a chewy exterior and the inside was light and airy with Swiss cheese-like air holes. (They do not make their own bread, but they chose wisely. The bread is from Tribeca Oven, a company that specializes in artisan breads.) The soup was their "Swiss Vegetable". It was like minestrone with chunks of fresh vegetables, but also had swiss cheese melted throughout. It was great! The salad was chopped green leaf lettuce with cheesy croutons, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. We ordered it with bleu cheese dressing which was mostly bleu cheese and not a lot dressing...Great! (It guess the Swiss are all about cheese. No wonder the Swiss love Wisconsin "cheese heads!) Our waitress offered to bring some extra bleu cheese, so we went for it! We basically ended up with a bleu cheese salad! Our Sauerbraten was served spilt on two plates and both presented nicely with long, lightly steamed green beans and long slices of marinated beef drenched with thick, rich brown sauce. Our red cabbage was served in a small serving cup and the Roesti totally covered its own dinner plate like a huge, thick pancake. Everything was fantastic and even though we had shared we couldn't finish everything. After dinner we enjoyed a nice walk around the village, before we had to head off into the night. We look forward, again, to our next visit to New Glarus and Glarner Stube! read more

If you're in New Glarus, you need to make a visit here! My boyfriend is a huge lover of Rueben Sandwiches, and up until visiting this place he had been on a hunt for the best Rueben in the country. He says he can stop now because it's so amazing! We found this place on Yelp by looking up the best place to find a Perch Fish Fry. My folks are from Wisconsin but now live in Florida and they love their fish fries, specifically Perch. The fish was yummy, but honestly the Rueben just won the show with how amazing it was. They have so many options for New Glarus beer on tap, between that and the food, you will leave very full, and very happy! read more
