Traditional beef roulade: $22.95
Susan K.

This place feels like you're eating at someone's house, nice and cozy. They've been open for 26 years and serve the most delicious German food. I would have liked more tap beer options. Came here on a Sunday and they have Sunday special all day, 25% off all appetizers. I ended up ordering a dark beer because they were out of IPA. It was good but would've liked an IPA. I ordered the big Smokey beef bratwurst, it was really good. Probably the best I've tasted. It was juicy and had a great smokey flavor and wasn't salty. It came with German potato's and sauerkraut, best sauerkraut I've tasted. My BF ordered the traditional beef roulade, it comes with a side of red cabbage and spaetzle. He said he tasted better elsewhere for what it cost.

Giant Oktoberfest Pretzel

Server was nice but busy with all the tables, as she was the only one waiting on tables. Shared a pretzel and torte with a friend and they were both really good. Just as good as having them in Germany!

Authentic German food can be hard to come by. I'm so glad we took a chance on this cute little hole in the wall. The food was delicious! Portion sizes were so fair for the price. Please don't expect much in the way of decor inside, but know that you're going to get great food. Our server was awesome- he offered food suggestions, kept our drinks filled, and even swapped us to a bigger table after ordering our food because he knew all our plates wouldn't fit on the smaller table. Can't wait to return!

Sauerkraut Puffs - bacon, cheese, and sauerkraut with curry sauce and sour cream

Stopped by Haus Murphy's in the afternoon of a Friday. I was greeted and seated right away. The waiter who served me was polite and attentive. I have never had German food before, so I went with what I deemed were safest on the menu: the Sauerkraut Puffs and a Giant Oktoberfest Pretzel, both of which are appetizers. The drinks were immediately provided and my food only took less than 15 minutes to come out. I had their famous beer cheese to dip my pretzel in. I did not expect the puffs to be as large as they were, and they are extremely filling. I loved the old style wood of the tables and chairs, and the Christmas lights hanging down and around the room were a nice touch. I was able to pay easily online and take my leftovers to go! I definitely enjoyed my food and time here.

Kids Chicken Schnitzel

Waited from 11:47 to 12:41 to be served out dishes. Waiter wasn't particularly kind about it either. The food came oddly lukewarm, overly tough and heavily salted. Super disappointing experience and I would not recommend coming here my friends, hard pass.

Traditional Sauerbraten ($29.95) was ok - too salty for my preference - 6/10

A pretty cool German restaurant/bar located in Downtown Glendale! Parking can be difficult since there isn't much parking spots but there is a parking structure across the street as well as street parking Service is ok and not too attentive. It can get pretty loud inside especially on the weekends when it gets packed Menu has a huge variety of German dishes, whether you want a sandwich, bratwursts, or a traditional schnitzel plate. Pricing is pretty pricey so expect to pay $20+/dish but they give you plenty of food! Got the Traditional Sauerbraten ($29.95) and it's limited availability AND Guy Fieri's favorite (apparently, he's been to this spot before and this was his FAVE!) it's marinated in their special mixture for 9+ days and then slowly cooked for 12 hours! I thought the gravy was very salty and I wasn't a fan of the beef. The purple cabbage was very interesting and sweet. It was pretty enjoyable and flavorful. This dish was 6/10 for me Got the Schwimmbad ($12) and it was pretty strong but refreshing. It was very fruity and I enjoyed the pineapple juice, coconut cream, and blue Curacao. This was 8/10 for me It's an unique spot to check out but I probably won't return. I would recommend it for first timers!

Feel like in Germany. Everything is homemade. The pretzels are the best, the mustard, the schnitzels are real,the brats & sausages. German potato salad & sauerkraut are homemade. All the best.

Jalapeño cheddar brat

I tried this little gem over the weekend and I'm sure glad I did. It's not something I'd normally opt for, but in this case, it helped me find a place I would definitely return to. Haus Murphy's is a quaint spot in Glendale serving up good beer and German eats. I met my party in their biergarten (patio), and didn't enter the establishment. Therefore, I can't really speak to the ambiance, but this isn't really the kind of place you go for ambiance anyway. The patio was long and narrow, which is great because it offered some shade from the buildings it's situated between. The one element that added to the patio ambiance was the giant banner over my table that read, "I got my schnitzel pounded at Haus Murphy." I got a laugh out of that. If you don't, I'm very sorry for your unfortunate lack of humor. The food: We ordered a few dishes, including the giant Oktoberfest pretzel, stuffed mushrooms, currywurst, chicken schnitzel, and the jalapeño cheddar brat. One of my foodie friends also had the old fashioned to drink. The old fashioned was a lowlight. It was made with chocolate bitters and super sweet. Another opportunity was that their hot mustard wasn't very hot. My dining mate, who had dined there before, said it used to clear your sinuses, which I actually would have preferred. The rest of the food was amazing. In particular, the sauces stole the show. The currywurst, which came with battered fries (my favorite), had a side of curry ketchup that was out of this world. The pretzel came with a super light cheese spread that was unlike any cheese sauce I've ever had. The mushrooms also sat in a cream sauce that was savory and delicious. They were topped with crispy fried onions, so that dish had a nice variety of flavors and textures. Finally, the chicken schnitzel had a white wine sauce that literally tasted like heaven. Worth honorable mention: I'm not a big fan of kraut, but theirs was packed with amazing flavor and not as sour as many I've tried. If you're a German food enthusiast or just in the area, you'll definitely want to try this place. You, too, can get your schnitzel pounded at Haus Murphy!

Mom, Dad, and I came across Haus Murphy's by accident around 2015, unfortunately after my wisdom teeth were removed and I wasn't able to enjoy the schnitzel but they accommodated me lovingly, doing a version of German butter noodles. But back to 2025. Dad and I are at Glendale to see the Glitters and wanted to visit the Haus like we have in prior years with mom. We got the Jaeger Schnitzel (our all time favorite of pork with a wonderful demi mushroom sauce), and wanted to try the Schweitzer Schnitzel as well, (like a Corden Bleu but with pork). So satisfying and delicious, it was the most satisfying as well. If you're in Glendale and want to come, book a reservation or be ready to wait a bit as a walk in because it's hopping!! We also enjoyed the live accordion music that got the Christmas and joyful drinking vibes!

Explanation of the Kirschwasser shot
Susan G.

7/5/25: Short version - quaint restaurant, gorgeous decor, excellent food, fantastic service. Totally worth a revisit. Long version - this particular Saturday we opted for a late lunch/dearly dinner. Craving German food, my sister selected Haus. I had been there years earlier (before I started Yelping) & enjoyed it immensely so off we went. Service: far exceeded our expectations. Our server, Scottie, was wonderful. He was friendly, bantered with us the entire time, kept checking in to see how things were, if we needed anything. He was knowledgeable about the menu & we often sought his advice, going with his recommendations. Appetizers: 10 oz pretzel & stuffed mushrooms. The pretzel was gi-normous. Scottie offered to have more salt added to the pretzel (it was a bit bare). Now that's an eye for detail many people don't have. But it was salted enough for us, plus it was hot & the mustardy cheese that came with was perfect. The stuffed shrooms were so damn tasty. The plating was well done (almost too pretty to eat). I said almost. We dove right in. :-) They were chock full of meat (no skimping involved), the drizzles on the plate were mild & added some flair; and though I am not a fan of onions, I still enjoyed the dried/fried onions that came with the shrooms. Cocktails: Black Forest old fashioned, Schwimmbad. Smooth & sweet respectively. Decently priced. It was Shots Saturday, which meant 1/2 price shots (two shots for $8). First round was the Feiling (fig vodka) & Kirschwasser (tasted like 100 proof moonshine). We both agreed the Feiling was the best (slightly sweet, smooth like the bourbon), the Kirschwasser was too harsh for us. Our second round we enjoyed schnapps shots (say that fast five times): apfel & blackberry. Of those, the apfel was the best. The next Saturday we visit Haus, it will be rough trying to decide which shots to get, go with what we know or try something new. It's going to be a tough decision. Ha! Meals: Kassler brat combo (pork chop aka chunk of ham; choice of brat, I selected the big smokey; chose two gravy sides: paprika & rouladen; also a side of spätzle), plus the Eisbein (smoked pork shank). Both came with sauerkraut (duh) and the brat combo had whipped potatoes, the Eisbein came with German fried potatoes. DELICIOUS! All of it was DELICIOUS! Very large portions of everything, even the spätzle. Hell, I had delicious leftovers for lunch at work for the next three days, it was that much food ... of course we had to save room for dessert. Dessert: sauerkraut torte. We have Scottie to thank for this selection. Once again, he was spot on. We were a bit apprehensive about the sauerkraut but he explained it was for moisture -- and yes, the torte was extremely moist (and no, it was not "sauer" but sweet). Final answer? Haus Murphy's is a joy. Large menu, friendly & courteous staff willing to explain & offer recommendations, reasonably priced items, large portions. Will most definitely come back.

What is on the breakfast menu?

I went online to find this. Here's the link: https://hausmurphys.com/menu

3rd one to ask - are their gluten-free options? I understand I cannot eat a pretzel or bread...but do the gravies have wheat? Is wheat flour added to the potato pancakes?

Hello! I was just there on December 22nd. No there is not. The pretzel and the spaetzle are made with whole wheat flour. My husband loves it here tho!

Do they allow dogs on the outdoor patio?

Yes, we brought our dog and sat on the patio with him.

Here's a polished version of your review:…read more I didn't expect this place to be anything special at first--just another little hole-in-the-wall brunch spot. But I was genuinely surprised by how great the entire experience turned out to be. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The servers were kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The owner even came by our table to talk with us about the restaurant, their values, and the care they put into making everything from scratch. That personal touch, along with a complimentary dessert, really made the experience memorable. The food was outstanding. The chicharrones were perfectly crunchy and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The salsa tasted incredibly fresh and paired well with everything on the table. The carne asada was cooked beautifully, developing a flavorful crust from the Maillard reaction, which gave it that rich, savory, slightly crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Overall, this was one of those restaurants that completely exceeded my expectations. Between the warm hospitality, attention to detail, and excellent food, it's a place I'll definitely be coming back to. If you're looking for authentic Mexican brunch with great people behind it, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Also nice clean bathroom

We made plans to check it out, and since that first visit I've probably been back three times -- and every single experience has been wonderful. If you sit at the bar, you can watch the chefs cook right in front of you while the bartenders make your drinks, which is such a fun experience. The cocktails are amazing, and the staff always has great recommendations if you're not sure what to order. But the FOOD is a whole other story. Everything I've tried here has been incredible. I genuinely don't think I've ordered a single thing that I didn't love. The atmosphere might be one of my favorite parts, though. It has this beautiful, expensive, upscale feeling without actually being ridiculously expensive. It's so nice to have something like this on the West Side where you can get dressed up and have a nice birthday dinner or date night and feel like you're somewhere special without the price tag being completely crazy. The staff is amazing, the service has consistently been great, the cocktails are fantastic, and the food is incredible. After multiple visits, I can confidently say this has become one of my favorite spots and easily one of the best places in Peoria. I absolutely love it here and will continue coming back!

Trying to book my mom's 50th birthday party was a nightmare. Emails went unanswered, phone calls weren't returned, and I ultimately had to drive there in person just to get the event booked. After finally securing the date, I waited for a follow-up regarding the details, only to discover that the general manager had been let go. I was given the new GM's name and phone number, but despite multiple calls and text messages, I was completely ghosted. This left me scrambling to find another venue with only one month before an important family celebration. No customer should be left hanging like that after booking an event. This was actually my second chance giving Lola's another opportunity because I genuinely like the vibe of the place. The first time, my group of only six people was still enjoying drinks when staff told us we had to leave at 11:00 p.m. because there wasn't enough business to justify staying open. That experience was disappointing, but I decided to give them another shot anyway. Sadly, after this experience, I won't be returning. Great atmosphere means very little when communication, professionalism, and customer service are consistently lacking.

Despite making a reservation in advance, there wasn't a table available when we arrived, and we were offered counter seating instead. For an anniversary dinner, I wanted to sit across from my wife, look at her, and enjoy our evening together. Sitting side by side at a counter wasn't the experience I had planned. After I expressed my disappointment to my wife within earshot of our waitress, we were moved to a table shortly afterward. I appreciated that they corrected it, but the initial experience was still disappointing. The food absolutely deserves praise, but the reservation experience left enough of an impression that I'm honestly undecided about returning.
