Wife didn't care for hot potato salad, but we liked everything else. Breadsticks were really good as was the rye bread. I had the ribs which were good. Interesting sauce on the ribs - not the normal BBQ sauce, but good. We both had soups instead of salads and thought they were very good.

I wish I could give half stars so I could go 3.5. My meal was awesome. I had the Brat and hot German potato salad that came with kraut and rye bread and an appetizer breadstick. Best potato salad ever, and I've never liked a hot German potato salad before. Ever. My brat was delicious and the rye bread went perfectly with the potato salad. Now for the negatives: First, this is a German town with a brewery in town. You darn tootin' better have some draft beer on tap. Oops. They were out today. Still got some o the local beer, but in a bottle. The husband was not particularly impressed with his food.

My friend that is German says tastes almost like his family's home cooked meals. Had the sampler the chicken Kiev (AWESOME) and the ribs. Plus a couple of beers. Staff was friendly and pieces reasonable.

We keep coming back for the ribs and Ray's salad, simply exceptional. But beware of the service. Strike 1: Son ordered ribs, had to intervene at its conclusion because she didn't ask if wanted large or small, assumed something, don't know what. Strike 2: No rib BBQ sauce brought. Strike 3: when asked, brought pitcher from another recently vacated table with even a show of cleaning it. They prior occupant of the table could have been locking fingers etc. Strike 4: No butter brought with baked potatoes. Strike 5: Two thirds through salad and entree arrives. Strike 6: Son ordered white milk, brought chocolate. He was flexible on this. Strike 7: Disappears after entree, with empty glasses, no confirmation that things are satisfactory, or ability to respond to other requests. Not overly busy at all. To mention her name would be indiscreet. Kelley. But the ribs are so good.

Awesome! Thought I was back on Germany (Bavaria). Enjoyed it a ton...and now I weigh a ton more!

Way over-rated. Had a bratwurst platter--not very good german potato salad--not very good sauerkraut--I like German food . This place was not very good

I've been going to the Kaiserhoff since I was a little kid. The food is as excellent now as it was back then. I highly recommend getting the Lewie Bensen special - a half rack of ribs and a Ray's salad, with a breadstick. The prices are excellent. The staff is always welcoming and attentive. The food is hot and tasty. And if for no other reason, it's the one thing in New Ulm that will absolutely keep you coming back again and again.

Good food, nice atmosphere. Try the ribs. They are a little deceiving to the eye but believe me they are great. The reuben might have been the best ive ever had as well.

Haven't experienced many German restaurants, I came to the conclusion on my own that this was at best an OK dining experience. By the way, if you visit New Ulm on a Sunday, many of the shops are closed. Go Saturday instead! And try Lola's Larkspur across the street and down a block. It looked like a unique and comfortable place to hang out and the menu in the window looked tempting. It too, closed on Sunday. First, I have to say that the service here was friendly, helpful and attentive. They'd easily get four stars for service. The interior is what you would expect when visiting a German restaurant. Decorated with dark wood, an interior that hadn't been updated for some 30 or 40 years. The seasonal Schell Oktoberfest brew-perfect. The rye bread and butter from the local co-op also very tasty. Homemade chicken spatzel soup, warmed me up on that breezy fall afternoon. I liked the red cabbage, the perfect amount of tangy-ness. My dining experience had peaked at this point, had this been where I stopped, all would have been well. On the downside, the famous Sauerkraut Balls were determined to be undercooked. The first thing that came to mind was, State Fair food! They could put these on a stick, properly cook them and I think they'd be a hit. The combination of flavors were good, think sauerkraut and German sausage meets hush puppy. Wiener Schnitzel had a strange after taste, the best I can tell is it was something with the oil it was fried in. The Apple Strudel was microwaved to a warm, rubbery and hard to cut with a fork texture. It seemed to contain the canned variety of apple pie filling, and sadly finished with that very well known non-dairy topping.

I use to live in New Ulm and can remember eating at then Kaiserhoff. It was as delicious as I remembered. I started with Ray's salad and of course had the ribs with the famous Kaiserhoff sauce for my entree. I washed it all down with a Premium Grain Belt beer. If you are in Minnesota, anywhere in Minnesota, you need to drive to New Ulm and try the baby back ribs at the Kaiserhoff! As a bonus, you can buy the famous Kaiserhoff sauce by the bottle. I took amcase of it back to California with me. I can't wait to go back!

Went to New Ulm to tour the Schell's brewery, and stopped here for dinner afterwards. It was not very impressive. Seemed like an old cafeteria that has had better days. The menu had very basic german food, nothing really stood out. I had the schnitzle, it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't get it again. Very greasy and flavorless.

Stepping into The Kaiserhoff is like taking a step back in time, in a calming nostalgic sort of way. Surrounded by dark stained wood and murals of the German countryside, you get a feeling that the place hasn't changed much in the last 50 years, as well it shouldn't. Some places should always stay the same. The menu is large, containing both traditional German fare, as well as American standards, everyone should be able to find something to their liking. It's good for large groups, nice dinners for two, quick lunches with work mates, or grabbing a burger in the bar area.

Kaiserhoff is where one's referred to for German food in New Ulm, although by their banners and advertisements, they'd rather be known for their barbecue ribs. The place is full of paintings and murals depicting scenes of Germany. The menu has a German section, so that's what we ordered from. We were their only customers mid afternoon on a weekday, so service was attentive. The first item on their menu is wiener schnitzel, and we both made it our choice, with a salad as the side. The salad was pretty plain - some lettuce with a cucumber slice and cherry tomato with oil and vinegar on the side. Dark rye bread also was brought, and this was the best part of the meal. There must be a bakery nearby that knows how to bake, as it was the freshest and most tasty rye bread I've ever had. The wiener schnitzel was the real deal - as you cut into it, the juices ran out. The red cabbage was not too vinegary like a lot of others cook it; their's was mellow. I didn't like their style of spätzle though; too dumpling based. If anything, just being here for the decor will make you feel a little like in Germany.

Love this place! Got German sampler first visit, landjaeger today. Kraut and potato salad very tasty. Pleasant, attentive service. Very clean and welcoming throughout. The murals are great fun and give the feel of being in the old country.
(5)Meg S.
Food was okay, but not as flavorful as I had anticipated. Would love to see a traditional place like this have knowledge about the foods on the menu to share the history with customers, but that wasn't the case.

Choosing the stars is difficult. The food was very good home cooking ... 5 stars there! The server we had was nice and good ... 4 stars there. The hostess/manager was too busy to talk to me when I had a request, said she would get a server and then came back without a word with the drink that I had requested ... 2 stars there. I would go back. I loved the German food, and the dark old fashioned atmosphere was relaxed and felt like my grandparents rec. room. The sauerkraut is made with chicken (?) The jaeger schnitzel with gravy and mushrooms was delicious! The spaetzle was so good! If the hostess/manager had been more courteous or ever smiled I would have given 5 stars.

"Amazing Authentic German Food." We were in town visiting family and it just happened to be Oktoberfest weekend. We went late, nearly 8pm and were seated pretty fast considering how packed it was. The atmosphere was awesome, exposed beams, awesome old pictures. The waitstaff and servers we saw were all very friendly and gave excellent service. Several stopped to make sure we were doing ok. The food was beyond amazing! They were low on some menu items but given that it was Oktoberfest and late in the day that was understandable. They gladly substituted the item for us. We ordered Sauerkraut balls as an appetizer and they were wonderful. Sauerkraut and Braised ribs and a special with sausage/brat, hot german potato salad, and Sauerkraut. Warm rolls to go with it. The food was delicious and we will definitely go again. Visited October 2014

The Kaiserhoff has good food, it is a lot of fun to get a bunch of traditional German 'what the heck is that' and pass it around. The sauerkraut balls are really delicious, and I hate sauerkraut, so that is really saying something. It's good for a large group, too, we just ate there with more than 12 at our table, and it felt like we had plenty of space.

If you want a truly authentic German atmosphere this side of the pond, its hard to find more authentic than New Ulm, MN. As a result its hard to find better German food than Kaiserhoff. If I hadn't been hired by and subsequently gone to train for a company in Minnesota, I would never have known this place existed. And if not for some knowledgeable Twin Cities residents, I never would've made the drive to this distant Minnesota town. Well thank you all for sending me here. I cherish it to this day. I actually tried this place back in 2004 when I lived in MN, but just went back a week ago during my business trip. It hasn't changed. And thats a good thing. For my money, it doesn't get any better than the German Sampler. Two kinds of sausage, boiled ribs, german potatoes, and cabbage. It'll fill you up, it takes amazing, and it goes down beautifully with a good german style beer. And whatdayaknow, there just happen's to be a local german inspired brewery named Schell. The winter blend was a perfect pairing with the sampler platter. The ambience of the place is as authentic German as you'd expect. The owner greets you cheerfully as you come in and gleefully wishes you well as you leave. The wait staff looks the part and is extremely friendly. You feel every bit of that warm small town hospitality from start to finish. This place is perfect for small groups, and people drive over from towns miles away to join in. They also have a bar area which is pretty busy after work and stocked full of Schell's brews on tap among many others. I really could spend hours just hanging out here (and some do). I may not be able to convince most of you to make the trip to MN anytime soon, but if you should ever find yourself there. Grab a map, take about an hour drive southwest of the Twin Cities and stop by New Ulm for a couple hours and take in the authentic german atmosphere. Then stop into Kaiserhoff and immerse yourself in what a great German restaurant is all about.

Welcome to New Ulm, the only city where someone ever asked if the Taco fast food restaurant had German tacos. Kraut Tacos... maybe she had something there. At any rate, they have some here and lots of it. The interior is cozy and very warm (old people dine here and therefore determine the temperature setting clearly). The first dining room to your left as you walk in has working old school jukeboxes in mint condition. It felt like a German restaurant that hadn't changed since 1955 and you know what? I'm cool with that. As long as it wasn't 1945. The first time I came here I was served by a model tall very gracious waitress delivering my Schell and landjaeger before I jetted out of town for the week. The 'jaeg' as she referred to it (I thought that only went with the shots?) was great (see picture). It was a little more expensive than I would've guessed but hey that's what expense accounts are for. The next time I went with some coworkers and we shared the sampler and then some, stuffing ourselves with all sorts of things I swore off months ago. No red meat or high carbs? That went out the door like a Frenchman off the battlefield... At any rate the highly touted ribs were decent though their sauce that makes them famous is an interesting one you may or may not agree with. I'm still not so sure, preferring to stick to my Kansas City bold tomato based sauces. The Kraut balls dip well in to it, however and that is my recommended appetizers. Salads come in two kinds, 'lettuce salad' and their specialty. Lettuce is plain (we should've guessed) and comes with peas on it or the specialty which is another interesting sauce this one of which my group warned me about ahead of time. Overall, for some Germanic good times and a tasty 'Jaeg' this is the place to go in the new country.

bread basket was full of reheated freezer rolls. Server never brought water glasses (after bringing a pitcher of water and then being asked). We had to sit with dirty glasses and plates as the server never bothered to take anything away. Hostess was rude as well. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.

The ribs had cheese on them. The gravy came from a jar. The garlic breadsticks were strangely sweet.

Joint hasn't changed in 50 years and that is its charm. Excellent menu. Saurkraut ball appetizer is a must. Red cabbage is outstanding. All entrees are good. This in not the Ritz but it is the Ritz of New Ulm and that is plenty good!

Damn. Really farking great german restaurant. Makes sense, with a name like Veigel's Kaiserhoff. New Ulm has a very distinct german influence, so it felt fitting to have lunch there. It was like being in a different world... strangers said hello to each other on the street and everyone was polite. Oh and the brewmaster from the local brewery (Schell's) was there having lunch. On that note, I had a Schell's pilsner, which was very good. They had a bunch of different brews but technically I was representing my company, so I kept it to one. I had the German Sampler..which included their famous pork ribs, two types of sausage, hot potato salad, red cabbage, and a bunch of sauerkraut. The sausages were great, the potato salad was different (in a good way), and the ribs were phe-nomenal. If I ever end up back there I will get a full plate of the ribs. They had this amazing orange sauce on it, and also in containers on the table... I couldn't quite figure out what it was, but it was creamy/mustardy/tangy. I've never had anything like it. So good, I put it all over the rest of the meat on my plate. My coworkers got various other dishes including bratwurst and weinerschnitzel. Everyone was raving. It doesn't seem like New Ulm has a very big yelp presence.. so if you happen to be there on business (?) or vacation (double ?), do your thing.
