Turner Hall

Tried this place on a recent camping trip near New Ulm and I can only describe it with one word: joy. The second you enter and walk down a flight of stairs to the dining hall, you feel how cozy and traditional this restaurant is. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. A variety of sausage options, schnitzel with different gravy styles, spatzle, sauerkraut, creamy soups, they have it all for an authentic German meal. Service was wonderful and the ladies will treat you like a regular even if this your first time visiting.

Drinks from Eli at the bar were great! I loved sitting at the bar and hearing from all the locals. They clearly love this place. Adam was helpful with getting the menus and checking with the kitchen on what vegetables were in the "mix" for the day. My partner loved the brat and fries. I'm vegetarian but wasn't in the mood for a black bean burger so I got the Alfredo. It definitely left me wanting more flavor! Probably should've just gotten the burger. Extra garlic bread is only 25 cents though which was a delight! I got an extra to soak up the sauce.

What a cute spot to celebrate the German Heritage of New Ulm. All of the food was hearty, the restaurant gave the feeling of a cozy small town bar, and the service was a delight. You can tell the locals love this gem too. We tried the potato soup, Schnitzel, and Spaetzle. It was basically a meat and potatoes meal and warmed our hearts. It felt perfect on a cool fall evening.

Ok, I'm appreciative that this is the state's oldest bar but as someone with Austrian parents who has eaten many schnitzels, this was rough. Spouse had an oddly regularly shaped schnitzel that took a lot of effort to cut through. No moistness whatsoever. I had ribs- I have no idea what the blaze-orange sauce was but definitely not any barbecue sauce. And the side veggies (below) were the sort of steamed frozen vegetables that bad school cafeterias serve. The Schell's firebrick was an excellent beer.

Good ambiance, fun vibes and rustic German charm! I ordered the Spätzle and Pork Schnitzel! Was very good, tasted just like how it does in Bavaria! The Schnitzel was very tender, juicy and flavorful. The service could have been quicker/better but it's tough to find good help, only one person working and tending to 6 large tables. Will definitely come back again! 7.8/10 Cheers!

The food was food. One of the members of the group liked the chicken strips and rated them 7 out of 10 which is high for this individual. We brought someone from Turkey with us and the buffalo wrap was ok but a little wet. The atmosphere was the best part of this place. There are cribbage boards all over to use. It was a fun time. The old ball and chain got the fish and chips and she liked them. The kids came a long and we were able to show a kids menu item on this. We asked for the chocolate pretzels the kids get but unfortunately I think she thought I was joking. Service was good, she had a lot of tables and did a good job!

Stopped in during Oktoberfest, as it seemed appropriate. I ordered the Jaeger schnitzel with spatzle (upcharge) & it automatically comes with veggies. I wanted to sub the veggies for german potato salad (happy to pay extra) but was advised that wasn't an option. I then regretted getting the spatzle instead of the potato salad, simply because my husband got the same - so, I didn't get to try it.Everything was great & portions were huge. Neither of us finished our meal & we took it to the camper for the next day - 2 meals for the price of 1!Speaking of prices, they were a bit higher than the other option in town, too, again, serving sizes were also larger. Really, both are solid choices!

This is just one of the great gems in New Ulm! Had lunch on a Thursday while in town for work and if you love German culture, food and a cozy place to eat...then this is your space! Love the fireplace, German paintings and the basement eatery! The menu has a lot of American fare with a German spin! I got the Bock burger which is fantastic! The beer cheese sauce and grilled onions (lots) and the thick cut bacon make this burger mouth watering and absolutely messy! But damn it's worth it! The fresh cut sweet potato fries are a home run as well! Kelly was our waitress and she's is fantastic! She recommended the burger and when I go back I'm listening to her again! Thanks for a great first experience!

My wife and I visited New Ulm just for a a night away from home. We started our day with lunch at Turner Hall. Very good food and excellent service. Highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

My husband and I went to eat dinner at Turner Hall. We shared a sampler platter that had Rueben balls with thousand island dressing for dipping, two soft pretzel sticks with a thin cheese sauce, and square-shaped cheese curds with a tomato dipping sauce. We did like all the appetizers on the platter. Then my husband had a burger and fries, which he said were both very good. I had a delicious Philly chicken sandwich on a toasted bun, along with spaetzle. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere could use some updating, but we would go back!
