Editorial Review for Rudi Lechner's – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
This comfortable neighborhood spot accommodates festive dining and beer drinking, mostly patronized by a wealthy, older (and exuberant) crowd. Don't be surprised if live music and dancing suddenly commences out of nowhere. Expect good American and Austrian food, such as wiener schnitzel, roast chicken and dumplings and sauerbraten. Regulars like the well-stocked salad bar, too. Don't be afraid to try something different: The waitstaff is friendly and will answer any questions.

User Reviews for Rudi Lechner's

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I have been eating at Rudi's for many, many years. Rudi is personally on site and pays attention to his menu, kitchen, and his staff. The German dishes are always excellent and the other choices like trout and lighter entrees are always excellent too. The place is always packed, yet the service is always efficient and friendly. I keep saying 'always' because I've yet to have a bad or even less than excellent experience in this place. The live entertianment is a pleasant bonus and Rudi making his speciality flaming drink at your tableside is a treat.

Pros: Food, service, atmosphere

Cons: None, parking can be scarse

I took my boyfriend (he is Czech) here last night after seeing such good reviews. And it did not disappoint!! The food was great, the service was excellent, and everyone was so nice and pleasant. I'm not an expert on german food, but my boyfriend said it was very tasty. I had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious as well. They have Oktoberfest every Wednesday night with entertainment, buffet, and drink specials (as told to us by Rudi). So, we will definitely be going back!
