Hellriegel's Inn

They definitely make an effort here. We had a big group, and they brought all the meals out together, they were all hot. The chef clearly put a tremendous amount of efforts into the meal. The waitress did a good job. What is the downside? This restaurant doesn't get a lot of business. So I can't imagine they can keep fresh fish or meat. They've got to keep things frozen, because otherwise the food would go bad. So our group had a variety of things, the rubens were a big success. Their fries are good. The downside is the fish and the beef. The salmon was definitely frozen - it was dense and one texture. The beef didn't have a lot of flavor. It wasn't quick to get our meal, which we didn't mind because it was a big group. But I think that allowed them to de-frost the meat and the salmon. The Caesar salad had a really nice touch of candied bacon on it. So if you stay away from fish/meat that would be better served without freezing. And you go for the sandwiches, or chicken, you'll be better off. So even though we weren't impressed with some of the more expensive meals. I still have to give them 4 stars for the amount of effort they put in to making the food.

Disappointed, wanted to go here for my birthday dinner and especially escargot. After ordering and waiting 15 minutes we were advised that they were out of escargot. The only option was the mussels which we ordered, again after 15 minutes were advised they were out of mussels. I was very hesitant to order the prime rib but figured what else could go wrong so I ordered it and it came out fine. The restaurant was sparsely occupied and perhaps the above is part of the reason. The owners really need to address these issues. This was one of my favorites but after this experience, not so much.

Returned with a group last night and felt I need to update this review. There seem to have been a lot of changes since my couple of visits two years ago. First, the staff that we're assigned to our group were very friendly and worked hard. They made our experience pleasant. Second, there were many upgrades to the ingredients used and the chef prepared them properly. The food actually tasted good.I was cautious due to past experiences and ordered the broccoli cheese soup. The salad enjoyed by others looked much improved though and I included a pic. Their French-blue cheese dressing is a tasty surprise. The soup was delicious with broccoli cauliflower carrots and onion and was not overly thick but creamy and had great flavor. There was a burger on the menu that I ordered medium that came out medium (yay!) and seasoned nicely. The bun was fresh as were the lettuce tomatoes and onion. I enjoyed my meal and it was priced right. I also sampled a nibble of the salmon. It was tender and juicy, cooked to perfection, with an interesting sour cream sauce but it could've used some seasoning on the fish. The baked potato that came with it was fluffy. The dinner rolls were improved!For the atmosphere, the pricing on a few of the dishes is still a bit high. It remains dated inside, but it is a historical building. The decor needs freshening still. Expanding the menu & improving the ingredients was a great start! Hopefully they can continue in the direction they're headed. There was a live band last night in one half, which was nice to see the crowd. It was loud in that room but we could enjoy them from way on the other far side of the building just fine. I will not mind continuing to come here and see how they evolve. Kudos on the improvements!

We just had our son's graduation party there and I'm so glad we did! The food was good, the service was first rate, and the price was right. The hall looked very nice and was well decorated and kept up. The staff was on top of things from start to finish and we barely had any stress. We just had to show up. I would have other parties there. Thank you Hellriegel's for making our son's send off to basic training so special!

Great service and great food. If you want a place that is unique and serves upscale food, this is it. The restaurant is set in a historical home. Go to their site and read its history!! Last night I had the prime rib. It was huge and tender and delicious. My son had the escargot and chicken piccata. My husband had the shrimp cocktail (huge shrimp)! And the walleye. All the food was excellent. The atmosphere is what I would call relaxed upscale. You can wear anything from a nice pair of jeans to a suit and tie. The staff are always nice and treat you well. We will definitely be back. They also have a great patio if you want to dine outside. If you just want a drink and appetizer, they have a nice bar you can sit at. One of our favorite plac

Great place to stop for a cocktail or dinner after work. They have a good outdoor patio area. It is fairly large for an outdoor patio which provides excellent spacing between tables. There is a full bar outside as well. Waitresses were all wearing masks. Very nice garden area helps with the ambience of being outside. Good opportunity for outside dining during our times of social distancing.

We had the Sunday Breakfast brunch and it was absolutely very nice! The food was fabulous ! Plus I love the History of Hellriegel's! Embrace the past and enjoy your future.kamitchell

First, it was so cold in the restaurant we couldn't wait to get out to our car and warm up. We started with a Shrimp Cocktail. The shrimp were huge but so cold they were very hard and the sauce had to be put on with a spoon it was so thick. Very tomato tasting and no zip to the taste. Needed horseradish badly! Butter was too hard for the rolls even after sitting for 20 minutes on the table. Ordered filets medium and they came out VERY WELL DONE and dry as a bone. There was no juice to them whatsoever! We haven't eaten here in about 10 years but we definitely WONT BE BACK! Waste of a lot of money as everything is overpriced!

Ever been to a restaurant where your plate of food looks fantastic but one bite in and it just doesn't cut it - looks but no flavor. Not so at Hellriegel's. The prime rib was amazingly tender and cooked just right. The garlic mashed potatoes had a great taste. Nice open air patioNot expensive, prices are in line with other restaurants.

Great Food,Service and Atmosphere. Try the Banana Desert. Manhattans and Martinis are perfect.For $5.00 more than a National Chain, The portions are doubled. The Prime Rib is the Best.Best Patio in Summer, Best Cold Winter Day next to Fire Place.
