The food here is always delicious, and the service is incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in. You truly feel like a guest, not just a customer.
We took some time to walk around the restaurant and discovered a back area filled with unique and charming photos, which added so much character and made the experience even more special. By pure chance, we also met the owner and ended up having such a lovely conversation with him. He is genuinely kind, friendly, and passionate.
This is a wonderful place to come with friends or family and truly enjoy your meal. Being here honestly feels like a little vacation to Germany or at least what I imagine Germany feels like, since I’ve never been. ✨

We went on a Saturday. The special was Prime Rib. As an appetizer we ordered the chicken livers wrapped in bacon. Absolutely fantastic. For our main course we had the Prime Rib ordered medium rare. Again absolutely fantastic. Nancy was our waitress and she was amazing. We can’t wait to return.

We had an incredible experience at Dorf Haus! We had an hour and 20 minute wait for a table but that didn’t bother us at all. There were plenty of seats at the bar and we enjoyed a drink while waiting. We enjoyed chatting with the bartenders a bit. It also gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted to eat! Once we were seated, we ordered right away and the food was perfectly paced. You must order the cheese plate – best cheese spread we’ve ever had! The entries were incredible, especially the fried chicken. Everything was perfect from the food and service to the atmosphere. You must visit if you’re in the area and do not let the wait times scare you off – it’s well worth the wait!!

Food was excellent. Waitress was very attentive. Drinks were refilled promptly. Only issue we had was when we got there we were told an hour and a half wait. Got there at 5:30. At 7:15 we asked how much longer and were told we were “over looked” and they would have a table soon. Finally seated at 7:35. We were visiting from 3 hours away and looking forward to trying this place otherwise we would not have waited. No real apology or anything offered as compensation (such as a sliced of pie) for our extremely long wait. That was disappointing. Not certain if we will be back next visit. Definitely recommend allowing extra time in your schedule if you plan to eat here but overall I’d still recommend them. The food was that good.

Lovely location and delicious food with great service!
I came in on a Sunday night while on a trip and we had a 15 minute wait for a table, which was faster than I’d anticipated seeing so many cars in the parking lot.
After we got our table, I realized we would need to leave faster than I’d anticipated due to an 8pm check-in time at our hotel in Baraboo (~30 minutes away) and let them know. The servers were so helpful making sure we got all our food and the check right away so we could enjoy our dinner without stressing about the time.
We forgot to take any photos of the food but enjoyed all of it, even if the meal was faster than we’d planned.

If you’re looking for a true gem of a place- this is one of them… Yes, there might be close to a 2 hour wait on a Friday or Saturday night, but trust me, it’s absolutely worth it.
From the unique bars to chose from to lively polka bands in the back hall, the whole atmosphere is just fun and full of energy. Whether you’re out for a casual dinner, a fun date night, or celebrating with a wedding party, this is a great spot. It’s the kind of place that turns a night out into a full on German celebration and experience!

Good experience overall with nice decorations both outside and inside. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing and there were two doors and one is the main door where the staff will seat you. Great food and service. Giant soft pretzels were my favorite The potatoes and sauerkraut (sour and crunchy style) were really good too. Everything else was solid too

Over the last 15 years we’ve been here 3 times. The family run restaurant is one of our top picks for a nice evening. The owners and staff are wonderful. The food, atmosphere and German beer are too. Their Jaeger Schnitzel is amazing. St Norbert’s church across the street adds to the beauty.

We loved the Dorf Haus. We came here for a birthday celebration after reading that the Essen Haus in Madison has dropped in quality. The atmosphere is fantastic, very classic supper club style. The wait was accurate at 40 minutes, but we enjoyed some hand made old fashioneds and kiddie cocktails in the bar. Our kids had fun in the game room playing darts and pool, so the time flew.
When seated, our server Rhonda brought soup/salad, bread and butter with our drinks. The rolls have a slight sweetness and are delicious. The chicken dumpling soup was flavorful and the corn chowder was creamy, both were great. My wife had deep fried haddock, daughter had the chicken sandwich, son had the sausage and schweinhaxe sampler while I had the Jaeger schnitzel. All dishes were delicious.
In all, a great German restaurant with a comfy old school vibe. We don’t live nearby but hope to return.

We started in the bar, my BOFS was just right. After about 15 minutes our table was ready. We had waitress who was clearly experienced and friendly. There was soft German music playing which matched the restaurants decor. Our salads were a little small but fresh.
The water glasses remained full as the helpers were very responsive.
My tenderloin was prepared nicely and spiced well. The garlic potatoes were hot and flavorful.
Small town charm and great attitudes can make a dinner so enjoyable.
