Fritz & Frites in Galena - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had the Steak frites ($39) and Wiener schnitzel ($32 +/-, didn’t get a detailed receipt and online menu prices are wrong). The steak was fine, the frites, however were french fry strings, I’ve never seen them that thin. Impossible to pick up with a fork and difficult to eat as finger foods. The schnitzel was more breading than veal. Cabbage and spatzel were fine. Mini-baguette was perfect. Very good beer and wine selection. Bottom line: food was low on flavor to my taste but the service was great and ambience was on-point. Price? High for your average town but in line with the rest of restaurants in this touristy town.

Mushroom sauce is from a packet! Spätzle ok if you don't know any better. Steak frittes dry no Juice. Not great value for money.

My wife and I reserved a table for Sunday evening. Typically a slow day for Galena, and this evening was no exception. It was rather warm outside at 88º but, the outdoor seating area was empty and shaded with a light breeze blowing through. We were delightfully greeted just inside the door as if we were expected company stopping by for the evening. After asking if we could sit outside, we were quickly shown the patio and offered whichever table, out of about 8, we liked. After choosing the table of our liking, Hannah introduced herself, presenting the beer and wine list. I have to admit that having perused the menu online beforehand, I was not expecting such a, all things considered, broad range of wine and beer to choose from. They even had my old standby from my days of being stationed in Germany, Kristallweizen! Drinks were set atop our table, and Hannah ran through a few specials. What caught our attention was their Soup Du Jour, "Heated Zucchini Vichyssoise". Having never tried a vichyssoise before, we were intrigued and decided to give it a go. I am truly at a loss for words to describe the Chef's vichyssoise except for "sublime masterpiece". A part of me would want the Chef to make this for sale to the vast public but, the better part of me knows this is not something to be taken so lightly. It should never be canned or jarred and then sold off on the shelf of just any grocery market. The experience of the vichyssoise alone is far above the insulting idea of mass production. It must be experienced as the Chef intended. If it available during your visit, I recommend it with the utmost conviction and amity. Wow, that's a lot to say about a soup! Deservedly so. My wife enjoyed a trout with haricot verts(green beans to us Americans) and enjoyed it immensely. Her trout was delicious and it is worthy of your choice should you crave seafood prepared in a light and refreshing manner. I elected to try their wiener schnitzel with spätzle and sauerkraut, as I'm sure many reviewer before me has. A little aside here: Hannah, my wife and I, to this point, have established a lovely rapport and considering she absolutely hit a grand slam with the vichyssoise, we were very amenable to her suggestion. So when Hannah offered a jaeger sauce that was "off menu", I enthusiastically said yes. I've had schnitzel once in the past 20 plus years since I last visited Germany and this was as good as any schnitzel I *ever* devoured in Deustchland. Believe me, I've had my fair share of schnitzel! The weiner schnitzel is also deserving of your palate should you fancy. Who knows? You might even be fortunate enough that the Chef would have a jaeger sauce available! Sadly, the missus and I threw in the towel and left zero room for dessert. We know better than to do that next time. I will skip lunch before dining here to ensure I can partake in dessert. If what we had was any indication, their dessert has to be positively decadent. One never thinks you'd have a "Midwestern Goodbye" with an employee at a restaurant but, there we were with Hannah, just letting the time go by along with our pleasant and casual conversation. Saying goodbye felt like we had made a new friend. Hopefully you will say the same after your experience here. DISCLOSURE: I am not affiliated with Fritz & Frites in any way. I have not, nor will I ever, be compensated for this or future reviews. My wife and I have never met any of the staff previous to this visit.

We found out about this place on Trip Advisor. We decided to eat there based on their five star reviews. We were not disappointed. This restaurant has limited seating capacity, so reservations are recommended. They are only open Wed through Sun. The service and the decor are impeccable. They offer French and German delicacies which are cooked to perfection. My husband had the Choucroute Garni and I had the Trout Almondine. We also had the Onion Soup Gratinee and shared that as our appetizer. If you would like a unique, relaxing dining experience while visiting Galena, we highly recommend Fritz and Frites.

The restaurant is a quaint , calm atmosphere with a very friendly service and great food . I highly recommend Fritz & Frites Bistro

We loved this charming restaurant. We chose it to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we are glad we did. It was a great choice! The atmosphere was romantic with the candlelit tables and soft music in the background. The food was amazing! We loved the French onion soup, and my chicken schnitzel was so good! I loved the mushroom gravy over the spaetzle. Delicious!! Our server was attentive, friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a romantic dinner.

My husband and I enjoyed dinner here last month. The restaurant is very cute, the service was great and the food was delicious! We will definitely return the next time we are in Galena.

What a wonderful little bistro!!! Both the wine and the atmosphere were amazing!!! The baked brie was delicious and the wienerschnitzel was light and satisfying. Our server was very attentive.

Really creative concept blending German and French cuisines. Definitely don't skip the schnitzel!

Wow, what a great meal! Definitely splurge for the mushroom gravy on the schnitzel.

Everything is amazing here is why I always go back, wonderful servers, with the best steak, frits and 1/2 pan fried chicken and the mussels which I get every time! Definitely check them out! You don’t want to miss this wonderful place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic little German/French bistro in downtown Galena. Nice outdoor patio for outdoor dining. Atmosphere is elegant and welcoming. The import beer list is truly staggering. Some of the world’s best beers are represented here, like Hirter Morchl, Grevensteiner, Ayinger, and many, many others. The German chocolate cake is staggeringly delicious and a hearty portion. The spätzles are just like Oma used to make!

Quaint little restaurant at the very end of Main Street. Oh my….get the Wiener Schnitzel and add a side of German potato salad! Absolutely delicious…melts in your mouth! Great service. Would definitely go again!

Fritz and Frites has been singled out as the No. 1 restaurant in Galena, Illinois. Located at 317 North Main Street, it was created by Fred Grzeslo and his wife Karyn to give diners the feel of a French Bistro. But the Alsatian cuisine offers a little French and a little German. If you like German food, you'll like Fred's wiener schnitzel or sauerbraten (marinated beef) served with red cabbage or sauerkraut. If you prefer French food, you'll like Fred's steak frites or poulet roti (garlic roasted chicken). Open from 4 to 8 on Wednesday and Thursday, 4 to 9 on Friday and Saturday and 4 to 8 on Sunday, you can dine indoors or on the outdoor patio. One popular starter is a bottle of German beer with a chicken liver pate. My wife and I don't drink so we chose another direction. We started with escargot with snails, butter, garlic and brandy flambe, baked brie with apple brandy, apples and leeks, Caesar salad with baby Romaine wedge and a bowl of caramelized onion soup with Swiss and Gruyere cheeses. For her entree, my wife chose Atlantic salmon with lingonberry sauce, spaetzle and pomme frites. I couldn't resist Fred's wiener schnitzel, a breaded and pan fried veal cutlet with sauerkraut and German potato salad. For dessert, we were delighted to see profiteroles on the menu. Love the vanilla bean ice cream sandwiched between a fresh puff pastry topped with chocolate sauce drizzle and finished with powdered sugar. It is a delicious dessert that is a rarity on restaurant menus.

Incredible experience! The service was outstanding, the food was delicious and everybody we engaged with was friendly and courteous. 10/10 experience!

Ate there last night. Fabulous is all I can say. Six of us. 2 of us had sauerbraten, 2 had the 4 different sausages meal and the other 2 had the evening special of pork chop with apple glaze. Had the duck patte for an appetizer. Everyone enjoyed there dinner so much. Personally I can't wait to get back there for the sauerbraten. Waitress was phenomenal and we sat outside and we enjoyed that so much. Thanks to the owner for the offer of an earlier reservation to sit outside. I believe our Waitress was Lisa from Wisconsin so she knew how to muddle a great old fashioned.

Favorite mushroom soup ever. - signed a not so mushroom lover.

Excellent restaurant! Such a cute, cozy place and the food was incredible. Staff was excellent - so friendly and gave great recommendations. Will definitely return.

Loved this place. Great, delicious food. Nice staff and atmosphere. Sat in front by the Window. You feel great and leave happy.

Get the German chocolate cake for dessert ! ! !

Eat here! The food was world class and the service was second to none - shout out to or server Lisa! Highly recommend for any European foodie lover. It was so good we forgot to take more pics!!

Excellent service in a lovely setting. Great German food.

This place was probably the best place I ate while in Galena. It was so delicious! Definitely try the German chocolate cake

The food was a real disappointment. The onion soup came with a SLICE of american cheese on top instead of grated swiss cheese, not completely melted and the soup was lukewarm not hot and lacked onions. The rest of the meal followed the same path, very ordinary. Not worth the price tag. Tourist trap!!!

Nice family restaurant in the heart of Galena. We ordered German Spaetzle and Schnitzel, and Haricot Verts from the French selections. Servings were generous, and service was exceptional. We asked for a shared plate, and they divided for us in the kitchen so the presentation was beautiful! The restaurant came highly recommended, and the food did not quite meet our high expectations. (We may have just been there on an off night. Sunday evening around 5pm.) We felt that everything was slightly under seasoned. I could not taste garlic, lemon or pepper on the green beans. The German items are typically served with gravy, in our experience, and although OK individually, we really missed that.

Food, service and atmosphere were all excellent. We ordered a variety of dishes and enjoyed everything. Our waitress was very friendly and recommended an excellent wine for my entree and the perfect beer for my husband’s dish. Our 6th grader enjoyed the escargot, the salmon and the flourless chocolate cake. Our compliments to the chef. The owner allowed us to dine earlier than our reservation time as well. That was much appreciated. This restaurant is worth a visit. We will be sure to return next time we are in Galena.

The food was excellent. DEFINITELY coming back.My grandmother would of loved this place being from Austria.

We had an excellent dinner on Friday. Everything was amazing. Our kids (all 5, under 8 y/o) especially loved the the Chicken Schnitzel . Service was impeccable. We might have to plan a trip to Galena in near future so we can dine here again.

They were really accommodating with food restrictions, and super welcoming.

Better than expected. Got there extremely early on Valentines. Actually we were the first ones in. Had salad soup muscles for an appetizer and two excellent entrées. I was spoiled for choice by the menu. The service was excellent, and it was just the cozy, quiet Valentine’s Day we expected.

Excellent food and service. Delicious French onion soup.

Wow!! First timers. We had the muscles, lamb shanks and steak frites. SO GOOD! Adorable place with great atmosphere. Our server Sara(h?) was fantastic!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Been here one time for my birthday. Service was great! Nice little small place. Food was good, not familiar with this cuisine but I did enjoy it. With several cocktails, appetizer, and entrees for two people the bill was pretty pricey. They sent out a slice of german chocolate cake for my birthday which was so nice of them and amazing. It was larger than my face!! I think this place makes for a great date night. In the summer they do have outdoor seating, so I would like to come again and sit outside next time.

This small bistro at the north end of Main St is a hidden gem that we "discovered" early in 2023 and wound up making a point of returning with a guest in November. As the secret appears to be "out," I would recommend reservations as the establishment has limited seating. Their claim to fame is their menu is a mix of German and French cooking. Not since WWII has there been such a "collaboration" of the two countries. LOL! My wife enjoyed the Sauerbraten so much the first time, she ordered it the second time. I enjoyed the Wienerschnitzel (veal) and everything on our plates: red cabbage and spaetzle was tasty and cooked to perfection. I also had the Steak Frites, a house specialty and again, I was not disappointed. The hanger steak was deliciously marinated and the frites were outstanding.

Sweet little cafe vibe. Excellent service. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Just make sure you get the Germany Chocolate Cake. It is simply the best.

I have been wanting to visit this place for a while, and it definitely lived up to my expectations! Our food, drinks and service made for a wonderful evening. I had the cassoulet and my husband had the wienerschnitizel. The flavors were outstanding and the drinks were wonderful. We will definitely come back.

The food and service was excellent. Was able to walk in and get seated right away. Was a little pricey but well worth it. Won't heasated to go back.

A must stop if you are in Galena, best restaurant in town.

The schweinshaxe is being made by people who have never had the real thing. There is no crispy skin, and the sauce is one dimensional: it overwhelmingly tastes like burnt onions. I have never felt this underwhelmed at this sort of price point.

Service was perfect! Food was pretty disappointing though. We ordered pork shank(Schweinshaxe) and tender beef roast. Both were very dry that we had to drink a lot of water to even swallow them down…

Fairly disappointed. Server was good, neat little place. The onion soup was really good, one of the best I have had. The entrees were overly salted, almost inedible. Wienerschnitzel was way to salty and the gravy was inedible. Same with the roast chicken.

Amazing how much better can it be I am astounded by how well the dates are and how well it is being in a place where it is cold for three months

This was the best German food I've had in the US. My husband (who is of German descent) heartily agreed. Fabulous date night, complete with friendly service and a charming atmosphere. Can't ask for anything more!

Our server was friendly and even recommended great places to eat after our meal here. Food was great and atmosphere was charming and relaxed.

The food was terrible. Waitress not friendly or helpful. Was looking forward to going here for dinner. Very disappointed

Food was absolutely delicious. Had reservations for a party of two. Service was good, and I'm extremely pleased by their delicious french onion soup. Decorations are cute - server was friendly - wait time was good - most importantly, food had superb flavor. Thanks so much for an awesome experience, we are locals and we will definitely be back! We recommend this restaurant hands down!

Wow! This place is a gem! Great service, and amazing food! Get the chicken, you will never have a better chicken in your life!

Just wow. Best restaurant in Galena, bar none. Single best chicken I’ve ever had in my life, French onion soup was incredible, and every other dish was excellent. Can’t recommend enough! Also fantastic for those with gluten intolerances!

WOW! We have been coming here for years! We have never been disappointed! Service? 5 stars Food? (chicken on the menu and their "pot roast special")? 5 Stars. Excellent overall!

Daughter wanted to go to Galena and eat here for her 16th birthday. Made a reservation about a week in advance and would highly recommend doing so. The service was exquisite and the atmosphere was just as good. We tried 3 different entrées and were not disappointed in any of them. The schnitzel were delicious and the sausages were on point. A good amount of food on each plate. Overall, a great meal for a great occasion. Will definitely revisit.

Get the schweineschnitzel. You wont regret it. It was loud inside but otherwise excellent. Looking forward to a return visit.

Best place in town, which is saying a lot because Galena has surprisingly amazing food for a small town. The ambiance is the perfect balance of charming small spot and elegance. The staff was super nice and welcoming, fantastic service. The food, THE FOOD!! WOW! From the salmon soup to the trout and the pork shank, we were blown away. The dessert was heavenly as well, and the beer selection superb. Cannot wait to be back!!

One of the best meals we have ever had! He soup was amazing, as well was the sauerbraten and trout! You can’t go wrong with this French/German restaurant!

As a travel photographer I love German and French Food. The place is so pretty with such great ambiance. I would recommend it to anyone in Galena. So authentic. Wendy was fantastic and welcoming. Travel photographer from Galena.

I was impressed that the Chef greets you at the door! Server was great and knowledgeable and food very good. Husband ordered a breaded dish which I can’t pronounce and I the sauerbraten which was great. We ordered profiteroles with vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle. Yum! We will be going back.

We ordered the muscle special the sauce for the muscles was good it was leaks and a cream sauce by pretty bland overall. The swine schnitzel or the pork schnitzel Was pounded out way too thin and the 2 layers of breading was thicker than the pork layer itself. It was priced $19 on the website and $24 in the restaurant. Service started out okay but we were forgotten about until the entrance came. The spatzel was good. But did not get enough. The red Cabbage was Okay but tasted like it came out of a glass jar at Piggly Wiggly. The friets were actually shoestring potatoes that came out cold and what little heat they had didn't last long they should have been thick friets Or even fries would have been better. We were told they had garlic aolie for the muscles but it was curry Aolie. Overall I would say it's overpriced and not authentic at all. Food was edible but very expensive I wouldn't recommend going here you don't get what you pay for.

Really good food and atmosphere. Quality service too. Wine list was full of off brand names. We found a Zinfandel that was nice though. Should always have a few known name brands on a wine list. I used to manage restaurants and also sold wine for a living.

We've been coming out to Galena for many years and Fritz & Frites has been on our list of places to check out. Couldn't have been more satisfied with the experience! Suzie, our waitress, was lovely. Their french onion soup and Schweineschnitzel were fantastic choices. Hope to be back again soon! -Jared

If you are in or near Galena, Fritz & Frites is a destination. I would not say this place is "kid friendly", but the staff was incredibly sweet and gracious with my "threenager" daughter, who enjoyed a mountain of pomme frites and coloring on the butcher paper table cloth. My wife had the schweinshaxe and I had the schweineschnitzel and shared the mussels for an appetizer. Everything was phenomenal (especially the sauerkraut). I'm fortunate to enjoy a good meal in Chicago regularly, but I'm looking forward to my next meal here.

We made reservations for our Anniversary dinner days before and had travel struggles getting there. When I called to push the reservation time they were helpful and accommodating. We have high high expectations when going to an intimate restaurant like this and they didn't disappoint. I had almond crusted rainbow trout and my wife had the steak with french green beans. Everything was perfect and the cabernet available by the glass, really outstanding. We had a 5 star dining experience with great food and great service.

This is a great restaurant with traditional German dishes. Great service from all of the staff. Will definitely return.

Fantastic dining experience. The steak frites was delicious and the service was excellent. Definitely a must visit in Galena.

Had a lovely dinner out on the patio. Our waitress was attentive, the food was excellent, and the overall experience was great. Very glad we found this lovely restaurant.

A great bistro with French and German options, good wine and beer selection, and professional and friendly staff. The desserts are not to be missed! If the weather is nice, try the patio. If it's hot, their AC is great.

Absolutely delicious! Second time going a year later...and it was the same experience! Attentive service and great food.

Delicious food and very filling. The staff are very nice and attentive and the atmosphere is great for a family dinner or a date.

Wow! Everything about this restaurant was incredible. Firstly, they have the most adorable outdoor patio with bistro seating. The service was excellent—Our server was a delightful woman who gave excellent recommendations and was super sweet. The mussels and escargo were absolutely incredible and both came in delicious buttery sauces (don’t sleep on the bread! You’ll want to dip in the sauce). The chicken schnitzel was also great—I’d never had it before and didn’t know what to expect, but it was light and flaky with some great traditional German sides. Overall, great experience and will definitely be back.

Someone suggested that they would drive 3 for the schnitzel. Totally agree! WORTH IT!

Birthday dinner divine 3 courses. A little French and a little German.

Fantastic, authentic food! Lovely wait staff and classy atmosphere. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! Guten Appetit!

Wonderful dining experience! The service was top notch; attentive and friendly. By far the best meal I have had in the Galena area.

We had an early dinner yesterday for my birthday before heading back to Chicago at Fritz & Frites. The food was absolutely delicious, with standout dishes like the French onion soup, steak & frites, and chicken schnitzel. And for dessert, the Apple strudel with vanilla ice cream was the perfect end to the meal. Everything was clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and the flavors were spot-on. But what really stood out to me was the service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure our dining experience was top-notch from start to finish. Overall, I highly recommend Fritz & Frites for anyone looking for an excellent meal with great service. It's definitely a five-star restaurant in my book!

Loved the food, enjoyed great service.

The food is top notch, but it’s the service that really send it over the edge. Lisa was attentive and fun and made the whole night great! We truly cannot recommend the place enough. You’ll want to make a reservation ahead of time as it is THE place to be for a romantic dinner date.

Had supper here while we were in Galens for a long weekend. Very good food!! Great atmosphere. Would go again.

Had a truly incredible meal here with my wife. I had traditional Schweineschnitzel, which was the best schnitzel I've had outside of Austria. A memorable night. The beer selection was incredible, and our dessert of Apple Strudel was lovely. Sara was our waitress and she was friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great evening.

Great food, very friendly and professional staff, relaxing ambience. What's not to love? We have visited 3 times and have loved it every time. Current favorite dish of mine would have to be the Cassoulet.

Cute atmosphere, the food was good. The only thing is the kitchen was very close to the dining room, they were cooking a smelly fish dish and it wafted into the dining room. Staff is kind

Flavor explosion at every course! Highly suggest the mushroom soup, chicken schnitzel, beef bourguigon and the Blanc de Blanc to wash it down. Lori our server was top notch and even went above and beyond to make recommendations to other hot spots in the area. Be sure to check out the local artists’ works displayed throughout this Galena gem!

I was extremely excited to try rhis place. The food menu sounded amazing and they have a good selection of wines. I asked the server about the wines and they couldn't give me any info, didn't ask anyone else that worked there and the internet doesn't work there so we took a chance and bought a bottle. It was bland and flat tasting. We ate the specials. The fish was tasteless and the roast beef was ok but not very tender. The salad and soup was all we enjoyed. We ordered a cocktail each, lemondrop martini tasted like rubbing alcohol. Would not recommend

This is a MUST visit in Galena. Fritz & Frites is a treat that I will miss until the next visit! The service was perfect and the food was excellent. I specifically tried and loved the baguette, schnitzel, spaetzle, salmon, and German chocolate cake. It was a romantic spot with room to accommodate family.

Super nice people and good Midwestern German food. Fairly bland, but a good, safe bet if you don't like exploring too much.

We came back on this trip to Galena. We were pleased to see more people dining this time around because the food really is good. We started out with the ratatouille tart, which comes with a side salad. It was very good albeit a bit messy to eat and even messier to split. For our mains, my husband got the cassoulet and I got the salmon. I was a bit disappointed that the special was the same as when we first went, trout almondine. While good, I wish there were a few more fish/seafood centered options or vegetarian for the main. For dessert we went with the strudel. Again the food and service didn't disappoint. My husband's portion of cassoulet was quite generous. This will remain on our shortlist when visiting town.

We chose this fantastic restaurant to eat on our first night in Galena celebrating my partner's birthday. The food was exquisite and the service was excellent. I had the special, which was a trout and my server helped me select a wine to pair with it. We enjoyed dessert and B & B apertif which was a real treat. This restaurant was not only recommended to us by our BNB host, but also the gentleman who runs the antique shop down the street and I can see why! It's a beautiful, intimate restaurant with a unique menu and great food and drink options!

My absolute favorite restaurant in Galena! Limited but beautifully prepared items on the menu, outstanding desserts and always, always, elegant and attentive staff. The most romantic place I can think of, anywhere. Long live Fritz & Frites!

They had hands down one of the best dishes I ever ate. It was Poulet Roti and the chicken fell off the bone but the skin was still crisp. And the jus was amazing! Great atmosphere and service too.!

Recommended by Savory Kitchen after finishing their delicious sandwiches. Best restaurant in Galena. Impeccable food quality, presentation, service, and vibe

What a tremendous dining experience. The food was outstanding. I actually ate there twice in the same week (reservations both times). The Onion Gratinee was perfect from the first spoonful presented in a lovely tureen. The flavors just burst immediately I enjoyed the casoullet one...

My mom and I come to Galena for the Living Windows and Luminaria weekend, and we always book at least one dinner (if not two!) at Fritz & Frites. The cozy atmosphere, tasty food (get the schnitzel!), and wonderful service can't be topped. They do book up, so be sure to make a reservation. Thank you, Fritz & Frites, for all the warm memories and delicious dinners.

We had dinner, with friends. We ALL raved about the food. Absolutely delicious. The service is fantastic. And you must have their German Chocolate Cake.

You medicine is here. Better make reservations and be on time or wait in the hall. Not Eisbein, but tender unpestered roast pork knuckle. Memorable beer list.

Amazing food, wonderful server...Lori was so efficient and sweet.

What F&F does well they do very well: schnitzel dishes, spatzle (tho the red cabbage is absurdly acidic, speaking as one who has eaten my weight in blaukraut) — and the pork hocks looked good, but there it ends. They have a very good beer...

Best French onion soup ever. The best.

Had a great dinner with excellent service. The french onion and potato-leek soups were considered some of of the best ever by our party. The steak & frites were outstanding.

We were really looking forward to dining here after enjoying a fantastic lunch here about ten years ago. And everything was great, especially the pate, but the steak was surprisingly sub-par. Would recommend the restaurant, but maybe have the chicken schnitzel or roast chicken and...

Galena IL—We celebrated Valentines weekend with a Friday evening to Fritz & Frites (a favorite of ours in Galena). We called for a reservation initially to believe we were too late. They called us back a few minutes later having made room for us. Now that’s great management. Our waitress (I apologize I don’t recall her name) was simply FANTASTIC, a seasoned pro with a fun personality, quick wit, and extremely knowledge of the ingredients of their entrees. She was able to offer great options to those with food sensitives, providing confidence she knew what she was suggesting. The meals were beyond delicious, plentiful, with picturesque presentation. The desserts were so huge I took it with us, it wasn’t till I opened the bag that we discovered our server left a witty note on the carrier that made us all laugh. Search no more, if you want great food, professional service, and great value — plan a visit to Fritz and Frites in Galena!

Excellent food and service. Sauerbraten as good as any back we had in our vist to Germany. The prune dessert we heard about was every bit as good as described.

Lovely family-owned restaurant with a menu reminiscent of Alsace. Charming decor and excellent service. The food is quite authentic. It’s a nice change from the typical Galena fare. I would definitely return
