WOW! A real amazing German cafe and meat shop!

I live in California, but recently purchased a fishing cabin in Chetek (near family). I had heard that this little cafe has true German foods and meats, but finally visited last Sunday. Saturday and Sundays they have a buffet and order off the menu. Closed Mondays.

WOW, the best sausage gravy I have ever tasted. Three totally different meat dishes. Real panckes, eggs, potatoes and pride of preparation and presentation. The owner and chef has 300 hundred years of family history in the German meat preparation.

Nice people serving outstanding food at a great value!

Just Wow

Walking through the little hamlet of Chetek,WI we peeked in the window and decided to give it a try. German/American food the sign said. I had the jaegerschnitsel and my date had the breakfast buffet. It was the best meal I’ve had to date in 2017. The homemade sauerkraut was as good as my German Mothers. Crunchy and flavorful. The schnitzel was an inch thick, perfectly cooked and covered entirely with mushroom gravy. A magnificent meal. Every employee in the place was super friendly, full of smiles and concerned that we had a good experience. We were just visiting the area from out of state but this restaurant will make Chetek a destination for us next time we travel in Wisconsin. We highly highly recommend it.

Catering was a HUGE Success!

From the beginning, Norbert was excellent to work with. He met with us in person, explained all of our options and helped us create a brunch menu that was outstanding. Norbert took the time to visit the event site to talk with the venue owners to see what they could or couldn’t provide and to make sure that everything would be ready to go on event day.

Now to talk about the food. We were provided with a wide variety of awesome food including: sauerkraut with smoked pork, two types of scrambled eggs, fantastic German breakfast potatoes, two types of breakfast sausage, thick cut bacon, mushroom gravy and pastries. Everyone at the party went crazy over the food. They couldn’t stop commenting on how great everything tasted. It was evident that Norbert takes a great deal of pride in what he does.

Now to talk about the amount of food. When we met with Norbert, he said his portions were “generous”. This is an epic understatement. For the quality and amount of food we received, plus the quality of the service, I would say this was a huge bargain. My wife and I loved every aspect of the meal Norbert and the Chetek Cafe provided. I would highly recommend their service to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

Shipping Meat
My significant other was in Chetek recently for an early Christmas with her family. She contacted Norbert, telling him again how much I appreciate his culinary magic. He made up a 15 lb selection of his indescribable products so she could hand carry them back to Phoenix. I am on a low sodium diet and he hand crafted each selection to accommodate my needs. When I unwrapped his masterpieces, I felt like I was looking at Gold, Frankensensense, and Myrrh. Then he hand delivered them to her on the morning of her flight, even though he was not open for business that day. He and his wife are extraordinary people. I told him I would rather he do the cooking and I do the eating, but this will hold me over for the next 6 months. I informed him that when I once again have the honor to eat in his restaurant, I intend to get down on my knees, bow, and say “I’m not worthy.”
