    Jagerschnitzel
    Jimmy C.

    Outstanding! The best German restaurant we've ever been to. The jagerstrudel was phenomenal! The breading had a tempura flare to it and the sides of cabbage and kraut were top notch. The star of the evening was their Old Fashion. I got the brandy one and it totally made my evening...the best Old Fashion in the Door!

    Carried out the best little picnic dinner! All the food was so good but the sauces were out of this world! The cheese curds and pretzel came with mustard sauces that we could have just drank! I was skeptical about a German spot for dinner but it didn't not disappoint! We will definitely be repeat customers.

    Found this place on Yelp. Glad that they served food at the bar. It was much quicker than waiting for a table. They had baseball plying on multiple tv screens. Pros: -the portion sizes are huge! -friendly staff -quick service -free parking lot in front -indoor and outdoor seating Cons: -n/a

    The "Best of the Wurst" platter. What a treat!.
    Perry S.

    This past October, we were in Door County during the very busy last weekend of the "season." Adding to the tourist rush, businesses were affected by a lack of staffing and supply chain shortages. As one can imagine, there was no room at the "inn" and dinner reservations, unless made months before, were impossible to get, and seating at popular walk-in spots often required an hours-long wait. Despite that, we did not go hungry. While most eateries were OK, a few stood out as exceptional and well worth a visit. One of the best is Hugel Haus, in Ellison Bay. We did arrive early for dinner, which may have helped us get seated immediately. The courteous hostess escorted us into the spacious main dining room, which had plenty of open tables, and sat us in front of the enormous fireplace, a pleasant touch that set the stage for what was to come. The menu featured a variety of typical German fare of schnitzel, wurst, spaetzle, and sauerkraut, along with Wisconsin cheese curds, pretzels, and various burgers. There's also a wide selection of German and local beers and German wines. Being a sausage lover, I couldn't resist the "Best of the Wurst" platter, which, according to the menu, includes "Locally made bratwurst, knockwurst, weisswurst, red cabbage, honey herb sauerkraut, German potato salad, stone ground mustard, Dijon, horseradish." It was superb, and I would not hesitate to order it again -- even though I'm eager to sample schnitzel. Hugel Hus is connected to the Hillside Inn. For our next visit, we're planning to stay there. Just need to remember to book early!

    They told us we couldn't eat outside because they were "all set up for Oktoberfest." What?!

    We were excited to try Hugel Haus based on all the great reviews and yummy looking photos, but we were actually a bit disappointed. There were some pluses and minuses to our visit, which I have listed below, but overall, this place is fairly average. Plus: We ended up getting food to go (see why in next line), and they made it super quick and packaged it up nicely. Minus: We really wanted to eat outside at the restaurant, mostly for social distancing purposes. However, the server told us that was impossible because they were "all set up for Oktoberfest" (which was happening the next day). That setup turned out to be just a tent over the picnic tables (see my photo)...which gave us the impression they were just making excuses. With COVID still being a factor, no restaurant with outdoor seating should ever deny patrons the option to eat outside, IMHO. Plus: The pretzel was really, really yummy...one of the best pretzels we've had. The dipping sauces it came with were also delicious. A must-order. Minus: The Jagerschnitzel was actually not very good. Yes, it looked good, and the hunter stew that came on top was quite tasty, but the breading on the pork was far too thick and way, way, way too salty. We really didn't like this dish at all. Plus: They have beer to go, and they had my favorite Oktoberfest beer on tap! Score! All in all, Hugel Haus is a fairly average German restaurant, ok if you are in the area, but I wouldn't go out of your way to eat here.

    It was our second time here and again, everything was exceptional--the food, drink and service!!! The best dish of all was the beef stroganoff but you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's worth the drive up north to eat here!!

    Went with a party of 9 (including young kids) at 5:30 on a Thursday and spent one hour waiting on the pleasant front yard drinking and looking at the hummingbirds. The kids even found a large toad! Worth it! All our meals were amazing and the best Wisconsin old fashioned we ever had! We come from the German part of Chicago and have been to Germany and the quality of the food was wonderful. Also the ambiance is so cosy and great live music.

    Good, because who doesn't love a German restaurant in Wisconsin! We were a little taken aback to find that this place is in a motel, ha ha! They seated us immediately but it was a long finger-drumming wait for beverages... which when they arrived were pretty good. They have a little work to do in the kitchen however: Best of the Wurst was, sadly, dry - the method used to reheat the sausages resulted in loss of all life and moisture. The seared salmon suffered a similar fate. We did expect that a WI beer haus would at least have a handle on the sausages if not the fish. The accompaniments to the wursts were all kind of sweet. Alas, but kudos to them for trying. Portions were generous enough for a next day helping. We would try them again.

    Great food, great service, and would recommend it to anyone. The outside of the building doesn't do it justice.

    Stopped in for breakfast and what a delicious meal. The food was so good it was devoured before I…read morecould get a picture of our meals! I especially loved the made in house baked items like the toast and morning bun. I also enjoyed they have Valentine coffee which is such a solid choice. We got to meet and have service from the owner who was very attentive and you could tell has a love for serving good food! Overall a very pleasant place to stop in and great space. I'd highly recommend to anyone traveling through Door County.

    Blue Bear has a ton of potential. A beautiful space, excellent mission, and crave-worthy menu…read moreofferings. We selected this place for my birthday breakfast because of the vegan and gluten free menu options available. Upon arrival however, we're quite disappointed to find out the menu online was not what they had available. Thus there was only one option available that was safe for my son. What we did end up ordering was great and fresh. We made adaptations to accommodate our dietary needs and it was still delicious. My final complaint is that our waitress was off putting. It felt like we were doing everything wrong (made reservations that don't matter apparently, looked at the wrong menu online, clarified that a menu item was dairy free, etc.). She was condescending and it was quite uncomfortable to relax and enjoy. Food gets a 4 (would have been a 5 if their menu was more inclusive), service gets a 2. Landing at a 3.
