Came in on an Wednesday afternoon. Empty. One guy at the bar. Ordered the pretzel as an app and I watched a guy at the service station put it in the microwave. So right out of the gate we're not doing well. Once the soup got here, they redeemed themselves. French onion soup was delicious. Lots of onions, perfect amount of cheese, croutons were seasoned well. Now I will say, the pretzel was ok. The honey horseradish sauce they served with it though? Outstanding. I'd eat that by the spoonful. Be careful though, it DOES pack a punch. I had the Corned beef on light rye and my wife had the tuna sandwich. My bread was nice and soft, well flavored. The corned beef was delicious as well, even though it's just a sandwich. Hers? She liked the tuna, but was skeptical about the bread. It was a bit more firm for her liking, but she DID ask for French bread. Didn't take away from the fact it was excellent. Potato salad that came with it? Meh. It's potato salad. Nothing snazzy about it. But it was still appetizing. Just wouldn't say it's out of the park. Overall, I'd like to try a few more things from the menu as they have a range of delicious items. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice establishment, friendly people, and nice atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

One of our favorite spots in Two Rivers for drinks and food. Great service, cool atmosphere, good German beer, love their sandwiches, salads (especially Chinese Chix Salad), soup etc. Come and eat and then drive along Lake Michigan at Neshotah Park. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice place. Great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Free potato chips, which I appreciated. The service was below average. Waitress was polite, but screwed up orders. She didn't seem familiar with the menu. The quality of food was disappointing. Seemed like the sandwiches had been left under a heat lamp which dried out the bread. Made it taste stale! Over priced for the quality delivered! read more

This is a unique restaurant, the food is 99% homemade, soups are delicious, giant pretzel with homemade sauces, bread bowls, every kind of sandwich and pasta or potato salad. Again, homemade. They don't make burgers and fries. I'd prefer a real cake dessert, but there giant cookie is pretty darn good. Staff is friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the style and decor is unique.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh, and they have those tall beers ! EVERYTHING is and tastes fresh too. Definitely recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely liked the ambience of the restaurant. It had a great charm and you could tell it was a favorite spot for the locals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food is good, but I actually can't even remember what I ate so it couldn't have been that good. Service was good, she was pleasant and took good care of us. read more

I came here for lunch on a weekday with my wife. The place was relatively empty. We got seated at a booth, ordered our drinks, and looked over the menu. I decided on the Hot Wisco. This is a pile of smoked ham and crispy bacon on a pretzel bun. It comes with beer cheese sauce. It worked better to dip the sandwich in the cheese sauce than to put it in the sandwich. The ham was tender and thinly sliced, and the bacon was extra crispy. The cheese sauce added a creamy, rich flavor to the sandwich. There were a few potato options that came with the meal. I chose the German potato salad. The potato salad was warm and loaded with bacon bits. It was a nice compliment to the Hot Wisco. I also ordered a bowl of the soup of the day, which was sausage tortellini soup. This soup was packed with flavor. The sausage was chorizo. It had some heat, but not mouth burning spicy. The broth was packed with flavor also. The tortellini was overcooked, probably from sitting in a large batch in a kettle. This was my first time here, but it certainly won't be my last. read more

Great food and fast, friendly service. Our waitress was awesome. Loved the Rueben and the potato salad is to die for! Make sure to ask for chips (free) at your table, they go great with the horseradish mayo sauce. They also have homemade lemonade. Makes really good adult drinks! read more

Kurtz's Pub & Deli - Rueben with Really Good Potato Salad - Pubs Near Me - Two Rivers, Wisconsin

I would describe this restaurant as a Deli Plus business. The menu is heavily focused on hot and cold sandwiches which it does very well, but also has a fairly large assortment of appetizers, soups, salads, wraps and a very limited "dinner" menu to choose from as well. For my meal here I had the turkey Club made with Fresh French bread. The ingredients were very fresh with a generous amount of Turkey and Bacon used on the sandwich (no skimping here!). Most importantly the sandwich was quite tasty. For my side I had the "World Famous" house made potato salad (actually called this on the menu) which was quite good but probably a tad short of world famous (: . Relative to the restaurant and staff, the restaurant itself is a bit rustic/dark where it has a retro old school vibe to it (think 1970's). Staff as most of the businesses are in this area was quite friendly with excellent follow up throughout the meal and a definite plus for this business. Overall, we had a very pleasant dining experience and definately would recommend this restaurant especially if you a fan of "good" deli sandwiches. read more

Kurtz's was recommended to us by the staff at Red Bank Coffee. We are doing the Mammoth Challenge on the Ice Age Trail so we are trying out new places! Nice ribs for Tuesday special. Excellent Bavarian pretzel. And Oktoberfest beer! It's a German restaurant, but don't let that scare you off. Their menu is pretty broad. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch, it was pretty quiet. We took a seat and shortly after had a waitress take our drink order. She brought the drinks, and took our order for food after a few recommendations. The food came out quickly and everything was good. Looks like there are plenty of tables and a cozy environment. The waitress did a great job and was very friendly. read more

We have been to Kurtz's many times over many years and just love it. We purposefully leave the interstate to head over to Kurtz's for lunch on the way to Door County. The food is deli plus. Homemade soups are fabulous. The staff is really nice and helpful. Don't miss it! read more

This place is amazing! The drinks are super cheap (compared to Milwaukee) and great tasting. They even have a few larger drinks to share between people. The sandwiches come on homemade bread which is baked fresh daily. I highly recommend the Cranberry Turkey sandwich, the focaccia bread was so soft and perfect. read more

Great Two Rivers secret! Always a great treat when visit Two Rivers. The dry rub ribs that they serve on certain nights cannot be beat.

Amazing people very friendly and great food our waitress was a hoot . Enough said stupid yep is making me write more so I can post

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The server was pleasant and tried to do her job. I had the American potato salad which was very good. I also had the "hot" thin sliced pork sandwich which was Not good and was lukewarm to cool. It was supposed to come with onion. Had one small onion slice on top that did not seem to be fresh. The sliced pork was as from a deli in a grocery store, processed meat with little flavor. It was quite a letdown. I had to ask them to warm it up. Terrible. Not anywhere near what some restaurants would serve as a pork tenderloin, which this was not Th other people seemed to like their food. Another person had a cold pork sandwich that used the same type of meat, unappetizing. One had the tuna melt and liked it. One loves the chickens salad sandwich. I don't know who is running this place but the menu lacks interest to me. I studied the menu before I went and did not care for most of what I saw. I would not buy this type of thin sliced pork in a grocery store. Someone came out the owner, or kitchen person, and seemed to want to please. I do not want to return to this restaurant. I enjoyed it years ago. Quality has gone down significantly and choices have decreased also. read more

Great German pub! Cozy charm and great German decor! The staff was incredibly welcoming and answered all our questions with great attitudes! They serve chips and their special sauce at the tables...for free! Think kettle cooked chips with a horseradish/mayo type sauce to put on them. So good. The menu had tons of sandwiches to choose from...I got the Cubanito...delicious and got the potato salad with it. Yum! The waitress said they make the potato salad fresh in house and it is such a hit people will ask for it to be shipped to them when they can't get to town for it! Sadly they can't ship it they said haha. We shared a pitcher of the red sangria and it was pretty good. Not overly sweet which was nice...was good. They have a pretty good range of beers to choose from as well as Mules and a full bar of others. Would definitely stop back when I visit Two Rivers again. read more

Good service! Staff was really nice and fast. Had smoked pulled pork nachos that were out of the bag tortilla chips with shredded cheese. The cheese concreted everything together and made the dish hard to eat. Our other dish was the smoked ribs that were kind of traditional Midwest cooked but tasty and fall off the bone wet it's limited spice. read more

OK - so last night, I had the Turkey and Ham Dijon $14.99. The flavor was OK, but the quantity and quality of the meat was below par! It was not this sliced/shaved, like the old days and it looked OLD! I had it on marble rye, and the bread was dried out and stale! Very poor sandwich for $14.99. I WILL NEVER EAT AT YOUR PLACE AGAIN! read more

My husband was in town for work for several weeks and I was up to visit for a weekend and he insisted on taking me to one of his regular places. Kurtz's is nothing fancy, but has been around since 1904 so I can appreciate the history and ambiance. We stopped in for dinner on a Thursday night and were greeted and seated immediately. My husband ordered a beer and I went for my usual Chardonney. We ordered a soft pretzel with cheddar cheese and mustard for an appetizer. The pretzel was done perfectly and if I ordered I again, I would go without the cheese (and I love cheese) and stick with just the mustard. I'm a sucker for a good reuben so I couldn't resist ordering one here. It was a little different than the standard reuben, but very good. The corned beef was sliced very thin and was super lean. They were a little skimpy with the kraut. The sandwich included their horseradish sauce, which was really just mayo and horseradish (not a mayo fan!). The rye bread was great and the sandwich was just toasted rather than slathered in butter and grilled, which I really appreciated. Sandwiches come with a side and I ordered the cole slaw, but they accidentally served with potato salad. The potato salad was great and our server was very apologetic and offered to bring out a side of cole slaw as well, but I declined. She also brought us a side of the chips to try since we originally couldn't decide what sides to order. The chips were kettle style and served with a side of the horseradish mayo. My husband ordered the roll braten which was very lean, thin sliced pork tenderloin served on a nice toasty baguette, which he loved. He also ordered the potato salad as his side and said it was some of the best he has had. This place is old school, no frills, with friendly, helpful servers (who have probably been working here for years). Everything was very reasonably priced and we would definitely go back again. read more

I've been here years before and never had bad food , till this time. The soup was thick and gooey, my rueben was made on toasted light rye instead of dark rye and not grilled crispy. There also was no 1000 island on it and the one waitress was so busy she could barely keep up so by the time she came back I was almost done. One lady in our party ordered the nightly special chicken Alfredo... it was cut up breaded chicken tenders with a few dry noodles with cheese melted on top... void of Alfredo sauce. The rib special ordered was good...the Dijon turkey sandwich could have used some Dijon I am told. The chips and sauce were good but for 7 of us we only got two little paper bowls and no refills. The drinks were good and the grasshopper rocked. read more

Great place, great service, great staff and great food. Keep up the great ambiance Kurtz's

Needed to try after the good reviews but wasn't all that impressed. Decor is a mix of German and 1970's Wisconsin Supper Club (this isn't a put-down). Cozy booths in the bar area and tables in the back. Dimmed lighting was nice. Not sure why there were cases of beer stacked between the bar and back dining room. The restaurant has a German feel and they serve a few German beers on tap but don't expect any real German food. You can say it maybe has a German "flair" but that's it. We were surprised by the potato chips in a paper tray with a squirt bottle of horseradish mayo served shortly after seating. Our biggest issue was with the food. It just lacked flavor and had very little seasoning. The smoked deviled eggs were bland. My ham and turkey sandwich was dry and I never tasted the dijon sauce that was supposedly in it. Again, not bad but I needed to doctor it with mustard when I ate the leftovers the next day. The potato salad too, I wanted to really enjoy it but couldn't quite get there. Beer selection is fairly small but they have one of my favorites (Hacker-Pschorr Weisse). Food menu was adequate; not extensive but something for everyone. Portion size was good and prices were reasonable. Service was friendly and the food arrived quickly. We weren't disappointed and were glad we gave it a go but will look elsewhere next time we're in town. read more

We have been to Two Rivers for years. And Kurtz's is my brother's favorite place there and the food has always been pretty good, but the Reuben I had earlier this month is the worst I've ever had: partially toasted dry un-grilled wheat bread, essentially no sauerkraut, no cheese and a dab of some kind of not thousand island dressing. They give you a light horseradish sauce with chips before the meal comes & I had to keep adding that to eat it. Hopefully this was a one time experience but I have to say - watch out. I will pay more attention next time & if I get the same thing it is going back. read more

This place is great. Great sandwiches and even better beer. Real German beer. Love it. Definitely worth stopping in.

We disappointed with almost all the food we ordered. The soup was the consistency of a hot dish and the rice in it was hard. The ribs were dry. The cold potato salad was supermarket quality. The deviled eggs were tasteless with hard, old whites. We won't be back. read more

If you're looking for beer this place is ok. The food is mediocre at best, mainly sandwiches and the service is subpar. The best thing on the menu is the "horsey sauce" which is mayo and horseradish. Since that's the best thing on the menu, you can judge the rest. read more

I've been to Kurtz's a handful of times, and have yet to be disappointed by the quality of their food. From sandwiches to salads, they are just top-notch in the Two Rivers area. They also have a really wide selection of beers that are worth giving a try. The interior is different, and I don't mean that in a bad way! There are some way cool vintage signs that decorate the dining area, that make for something interesting to look at while waiting for your beverage, or for awkward pauses between casual conversation. I do have one qualm though, which keeps it from being 5 stars. For the price you pay for their food, it isn't a lot. Now, I'm not saying that it's super sparse, or anything like that, but if you're looking for a dinner-sized portion, this isn't the place for you. For a light lunch, definitely, but I've left here with a hungry boyfriend after eating. He's a bottomless pit, so that's not Kurtz's fault by any means, but if I'm paying over $20 for two people to eat we should both leave feeling (mostly) full. read more

A true, Wisconsin, neighborhood "Deutches Eck" By all means stop if you are driving through town. I had the "Kurtz Burger," a tasty sliced beef sandwich, and my wife had the Turkey LT. Both were quite good. The beer was an excellent Krombacher, both sweet and bitter. The service prompt and friendly. Keep in mind that this is a neighborhood place run by "salt of the earth" small town folks. Please don't think this is Chicago or even Milwaukee. Spend some time at the bar, soak up the atmosphere and meet some good people. Enjoy the food, enjoy yourself. Critics go home. read more
