Valters At The Maennerchor

Walked here after having engagement photos taken in Schiller Park. Saw the reviews and wanted to enjoy some authentic German food. Valter's did not disappoint. Immediately upon walking in, I could tell that it was a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. All the employees were very sociable and nice. Our server, who was also bartending, was very prompt and kept us taken care of from the get-go. We ordered a Bavarian Pretzel, the Jägerschnitzel, and the Pork Schnitzel. The pretzel was a good size, soft but with a nice crust, and the dipping sauces tasted great. The entrees came out quickly and were hot and fresh. Both tasted great, lots of flavor and cooked right. The crust was not soggy, nor was it burnt, and the meat wasn't chewy or fatty. I was also impressed by the portion sizes. They were large, and I felt like my money was very well spent. I think what most surprised me was seeing Valter himself walking about the restaurant, and just as we were finished paying, he came to our table and greeted us, and chatted for a moment. As we went out the door, they even handed us a complementary bottle of wine, which we were not at all expecting but happily accepted. Can't recommend Valter's enough. Definitely go out and support this local restaurant.

My husband Greg and I are huge fans of Valters at the Maennerchor! We discovered Valters on Facebook on a Sunday years ago when a picture of a German fried bologna sandwich showed up on our feed and we agreed “we have to have that!” We went that day and have been loyal “guests” (as the owner Valter will say) ever since. Now that we’ve moved to Florida, when we come back to Columbus a trip to Valters is a must!! My husband orders French onion soup everywhere we travel and I can assure you that Valters is the very best. In fact he’s ruined us. His French onion soup is the standard by which all others pale in comparison. He uses bone marrow and drippings from his prime rib - the flavor is so deep and delicious! Nothing compares. We dream about it from Florida. Another favorite is the Rhein Trio (although we substitute the weisswurst with Polish bratwurst) and his homemade mustard and sauerkraut is spot on with flavor! This trip we shared Valters pork, schnitzel, and homemade spatzel. The pork is tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside and so well seasoned! This is one on my favorites!!! Valter is a passionate and excellent chef and he always makes his rounds at his restaurant to make sure everything is great. He’s such a warm soul. You need to experience his cooking, it’s quite the treat! GO NOW!! ❤️

My partner and I went on a Sunday afternoon for brunch. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. There was a bit of a wait on the food but, considering they make everything in house I would say it was well worth the wait. Our waitress was extremely helpful and attentive as well. Overall great experience and we will be back!

Are you from Europe or have European origins? Have you ever wanted a taste of genuine, authentic German food? Well look no further. This place isn't like some tourist trap filled with sterotypypical decorative props or Lederhosen on the walls. This place was founded and built from the ground up with heart and soul from a real German. The food, like the Schnitzel, is exactly what you'd get overseas with no bells or whistles. Highly recommended. 👌

Really a great place! It was a little pricey, but it was really good. We sat outside and it was perfect weather. The service was really good. I had the hangover special. It was a good amount of food but not overly too much. My wife had the french toast with fruit which was made with baguette bread instead of normal bread. It was really good! We also tried the lemon cheesecake which was alright. The style they have is almost gelatinous and springy, which really isn't for me. Tried the cream puffs as well which were really good! Definitely will be back though, thanks guys!
