Edelweiss Restaurant

Wow!! What delicious food they have here!!! This restaurant is located within the German American Klub off Meridian Street. You don't have to be a member to eat here. You will be transported to Germany coming into this place. The Rueben I ordered was so good!!! It had the perfect amount of everything. It wasn't dry at all! I would order that again. I loved the potato pancakes they had. They were so crisp and light and delicious. I liked the sauerkraut also. We were there for a Krapfen making class with the German American Klub upstairs that night. They have a lot of fun events coming up so maybe check them out!

It was the perfect restaurant for a cold winter's evening. The ambiance was cozy and a couple played soft, harmonious music. The knockwurst and soup with rye bread all went together so well and was filling. The bar was fully stocked and well managed. The staff- friendly and helpful. In general a wonderful dining experience.

We drove the 30 miles from Fishers with another couple to revisit this authentic German eatery. It is a private Klub but welcomes the public. Wednesday offers a buffet as well as the regular menu. I chose the buffet to sample a variety of offerings while the others made selections from the menu. Uniquely, the buffet is manned by the chef who plates the food for you. I tried Buttered Noodles with very flavorful Hungarian Goulash; Pork Schnitzel with a freshly made mushroom sauce; Sausages & Kraut; Perfectly prepared Green Beans; a saucy Chicken Pot Pie; and German Potato Salad which was good but not as piquant as my Mom's. Others raved about the German pretzel, Noodles, Kraut Balls. We all shared an Apple Strudel that was the of the show. Great service, excellent selection of Old World dishes and, of course, good German Dunkel on tap. The only negatives were a rather poor wine selection - but then, I'm a wine bigot, and the Schnitzel on the buffet was a bit dry - more like a too thin fritter - and that is likely attributable to being batch cooked and kept warm on the steam table. Overall, well worth our travel.

I had been wanting to come to this place really bad since I got back from Germany. I decided to go for it and make the trip down to the south side to try the place out. It did not disappoint! They had a very cozy Biergarten and on the day that we were there, they even had a polka band playing. The food was delish with their meat sourced locally and beers from Germany. The potato pancakes were definitely the highlight of the meal perfectly crispy and savory. The service was excellent with the staff helpful in explaining the menu. This is your place for authentic German food and a private Biergarten in a park.

This place is amazing. Talk about taking yourself back in time for a minute you feel like you are in Germany. They open at 5pm for dinner only. You drive down this dark road, and you would never know there was a parking lot and a restaurant from the top of the road. You go inside from the parking lot on a top level, down a flight of stairs is the restaurant. They do have an elevator for handicap. Once below it's amazing. It's small probably about 30 tables, wooden walls, and all decorated with Germany memorabilia. I was so excited to try this place the last time I had German food was in Germany 20 plus years ago. I still remember what that tasted like. There was 2 waitress serving and taking orders. Lisa was our waitress. She is such a nice lady, and definitely knows her menu, and has worked their for a long time. I ordered the German beer on tap it was very light, clear, and refreshing. My other half Bayrischer Schweinebraten it was a tender slow roasted pork shoulder. I tasted the dish and it was amazing. Very tender and with lots of flavor. It was not sliced it was more like chunk pork. His side was the sliced apples. I have never tried apples sliced fresh, in a cinnamon sauce. I wish you could order this by the pint or quart to take home. Amazing! I ordered Jägerschnitzel which was delicious with the cream white wine sauce, and mushroom. The sauce was so good I asked for a little more sauce. The pork meat was tender, and a nice slice. My sides was potato pancakes oh my goodness hold the fork these were not greasy at all. I put the sour cream and applesauce on the potato cakes. My other side I was wanting to try was the German potato salad. It was good, completely traditional, but not my favorite for my taste buds. Before dinner you have a choice of soup or salad. I definitely tried the soup which was really good the traditional red cabbage soup. I can't wait to come back to try more dishes. For dessert if you have room definitely order the bread pudding with the warm whiskey sauce. You will want to make room for this dessert. We were getting ready to leave, they were closing, and they were so nice they make everything fresh daily, and had extra apple and cherry turnovers. I had taken home 1 of each. The next day with a cup of coffee, warmed up, very good. I can't wait to come back! Thank you ladies for such a great experience.

I was sitting at home and got a craving for some German food. I came across this restaurant, which I have passed for years and did not know it. This restaurant is deep in the cut, as they would say. Or off the beaten path. They have a huge private lot and a Biergarten/patio in the back as well.I got there at 5PM, as soon as they opened and it was very slow. There was a sign that directed take out and pick up to the back of the restaurant. However, I ended up going in the front door and down the stairs to the restaurant and it was fine. The woman that took my order was very friendly and helpful. She told me about the restaurant and some of their events like their Valentine's Day diner and their Wednesday night buffet. They also have a full bar in the restaurant. Their menu is packed with some delicious German food. I went with the Reuben sandwich with a side of stewed apples and red cabbage. It was delicious. You get a ton of food and I was genuinely sad when it was gone. The woman gave me their number and told me that I could call me order ahead next time. Which I will probably end up doing, unless I have time to dine in. I cannot wait to go back. I will definitely be spending some Octoberfest time here, but surely will be back there a few times before then.I highly recommend this spot I am sure you will enjoy it.

Great food, perfect beer garden. Support your local German-American club and go try some great German food. Cold, imported from Germany beer options. Yummy pretzels and huge sandwiches.

So we have always wanted to visit this place so here goes. Great location and Bavarianesqe. The place has lots of wood and it's reminiscent of German places I have visited. Service exceptional with very friendly fraulein's so why the 4 star.. food was ok. Not the hottest and while it was tasty it was not at the level I thought I would expect the food to be at.

It took awhile to be seated. There was an event going on above the restaurant. We had to ask for menus. It did take awhile to order, get our meals, and pay. Overall it was like 2 hours, which was longer than expected.There were people going outside to the patio constantly, which was disruptive as it was cold outside.The food was good. Portions could have been bigger.Would I go back? UnsureThe food and ambiance was good, but the service was lacking.

Food is delicious and the staff is outstanding. Wednesday night's buffet offers hearty selections that you must try! During the warmer months the outdoor Biergarten is lively with Friday night special and music.
