I was attending Polkafest in New Glarus and stopped in Glarner Stube to grab a drink. The place was bustling and I was hit with the sweet smell of red cabbage, which I love! I talked to a couple of ladies at the bar who said I had to come back to eat there for dinner and that's exactly what I did! My husband and I had dinner at 5PM at the bar. I ordered the Stube Salad and he had the Wiener Schnitzel with red cabbage and warm German potato salad. The salad was a very generous portion and the dressing was sweet and delicious. The Wiener Schnitzel was delicious!!! I ate half of my husband's dinner and I loved the cabbage and potato salad. Everything was great! Service was also friendly. I'm looking forward to going back! Also to note: we left a jacket behind and had to leave early in the morning the next day before the restaurant opened. We live about 2 hours away and I called the restaurant and they have the jacket. We asked if we could send a Fed-Ex package with a return and have them mail it back to us, the owner agreed. We are really grateful for the kind service! read more

I ordered the Red Cabbage Rueben, which was a nice twist on the traditional Rueben. And you absolutely have to try the cheese curds. The service was outstanding! read more

This restaurant in New Glaris Wisconsin caught our eye because it looked like an authentic Swiss restaurant. We ordered the Swiss fondue. It came with bread and for an extra up charge you could order a plate of vegetables as well. We had more than enough bread, and we ate most of the vegetables. I would've liked to have seen maybe broccoli or cauliflower instead of cucumbers and tomatoes. But that's just my personal choice. Service was very good. Overall, we had a lovely time and it was very busy. So prepared to wait a bit if you're going on a weekend. read more

We drove up in shite weather, non prime time and the place was empty for lunch. Rustic decor, with lots of old throwback items incorporated into the decor. Wife had the schnitzel, I had the reuben, we both shared the roesti and washed it all down with some new glarus. What could possibly be more Wisconsin than that? Delicious from start to finish, we will def be back for more. read more

Lunch is pretty quick. Two of us had fish (Friday), one a traditional European dish, and another a pork sandwich. Only one of us opted to upgrade a side to the restaurant's specialty: Roesti. The Roesti was a very generous portion, so he allowed us all to try a bite if we wanted. Roesti is similar to hashbrowns, but 100% improved due to loads of Swiss cheese embedded within. I believe I may order this for my entire meal in the future. Another hint: the baked cod on Friday included two long, well seasoned filets. Probably enough for two, or take one filet home. It heated up nicely the next day! Yum. read more

From the outside you would never know, but this cozy little place has the best food and amazing service! Hands down the best reuben we have ever had. Our first time trying roesti and it was delish! Servers and hostess could not have been kinder. read more

Second time around does not disappoint. We had the same thing the pastetli with the roesti potatoes - my previous review stands. My mom had the prime rib sandwich. The size of that beef was basically a full dinner not a sandwich. The horseradish it came with has just the right bite. Prices are reasonable. I feel like I'm in Switzerland. What more can I ask for? read more

Service wasn't great. Our waitress acted like she was Superman and we were kryptonite. Insanely expensive -- I understand tourist price but come on over $150 for three people? The food was food... okay. The atmosphere was amazing. Tons of cool things to look at and, the host was so sweet. There was no explanation for the food on the menu so it was an order and pray situation. And halfway through we were thinking maybe the food got caught in a hostage situation. Because we felt like we were trying to get a bill passed with that wait. I think Squidward would have been a better server. read more

Stopped in for lunch and loved the menu choices. I was going to have a big dinner so I ordered the vegetable soup with cheese and the German potato salad. The potato salad didn't look like any I had before but the warmth and vinegar base was outstanding! My friend had the brat sandwich and the soup too. Of course we ordered a New Clarus beer! read more

Stopped in for a drink on a Friday before the dinner rush. We used to come here quite a bit over the years, but it's been a while. We asked to sit at the bar and sat behind the server stand. Unfortunately, the server repeatedly smacked into my mom's seat even though there was plenty of room. Wasn't a very comfortable vibe. We ordered a tap New Glarus beer and a vodka cranberry and were charged $17 ($8 and $9 respectively). When we asked to confirm, we were just told "tourist prices". Surprised we could even stop the bartender as he was busy tossing treats and ice cubes to a dog that was in the bar. I expect those prices in Milwaukee but not in New Glarus. The place is still plenty busy, even before dinner, but I'm not eager to go back considering that's how prices and service are like here these days. read more

The single most unaccommodating restaurant in a 3 week roadtrip through WI. The waitress said the only vegetables in the entire restaurant were corn and pickled cabbage that day and that they'd removed the vegetable plate and couldn't do anything for me. The only option presented was a house salad. $7 for romaine lettuce with 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 cucumber slices, 2 croutons, and 3 pieces of red onion. I get people come here for a slab of meat but in 2025 lets have an option or two for others read more

I was visiting New Glarus, and decided to dine in here. The menu was full of Swiss dishes. I started off with Cheese fondue. It was enough for 4-6, may be more if you are not a very cheese person. It was good. Roesti is a nice swiss twist on hash brown. It is a hashbrown pancake with a layer of cheese. Also was slightly oily. Perch filet sandwich was my favorite item though. Waitress voluntarily split it into 2 for us to share. Perch was fried crispy. There were some small bones though. Kids chicken strips and french fries were fried nice and crisp. read more

Cheese. Oh, the cheese! This is a smaller joint, so get there early, or wait (they are so worth the wait). The atmosphere is cozy and the staff were all super friendly. It was very clear the food was being made fresh. We had the fondue, cheese curds, and prime rib sandwich. Honestly, we were pretty full on the fondue before the rest of our food came out because it was so stinking good. Everything was amazing. Bonus points for having a great kid's menu so my little one could snack on pancakes while we polished off 3 pounds of cheese. read more

You go here for the Swiss fondue which was excellent! Plenty of bread and vegetables for dipping and reasonable price as well. Also, the wedge salad was good and you have your choice of a few house made dressings and I would recommend the ranch..very tasty. All New Glarus beers on draft so if you like the from this brewery, you will be pleasantly surprised. FYI, Staghorn Oktoberfest is now on draft which can be hard to find. Enjoy! read more

Oh boy. I thought I was going nuts re-reading all the stellar reviews after a less than stellar dining experience here over the weekend. Thankfully I see that most of these rave reviews are from several years ago. The food was bland and just not great. Ordered cheese curds, roesti, and the Wiener schnitzel with red cabbage (and the roesti) as a side(s). Everything was barely edible. We each took a few bites, made faces at one another, paid our bill and immediately tossed the food in the trash. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty--maybe 3 tables were seated. Our server was fine, checked on us a few times, but after the food came, we couldn't get her attention again as she was chatting. Another member in my party had to physically stand up and walk over to her in order to pay the bill, during which time she continued to just solely focus on chatting with her buddy. The food was bland. I don't believe a single drop of salt was used for the roesti. The Wiener schnitzel was oooook--slightly gamey, but that may just be me--a little seasoning would have helped cover the pork taste a bit more perhaps? The cheese curds were a lot. They were gigantic in size and the thick breading was a bit difficult to get down. And again--say it with me, salt! The ranch was also questionable. The red cabbage was awful. I couldn't inhale or breathe in while attempting to put a bite in my mouth otherwise I would immediately start coughing because of the amount of vinegar used. Disappointing overall--saw so many great reviews and was really hoping to have n enjoyable time, but ended up feeling sad that I paid for a full meal that I didn't want to eat because it didn't taste good. read more

Great place with a wide menu. Food and service were great. Nice place in a quaint little town with a lot of charm.

I had a Reuben sandwich and two Nee Glarus beers. Sandwich and fries were great as well as the friendly bartender. Moving from Illinois to Oregon Wisconsin so I'll be back soon. read more

We had lunch at Glarner Stube yesterday. Hubby and I always have the same thing............the Pork Schnitzel sandwich with grilled onions and herb butter and the roesti. As usual, they did not disappoint. I did notice this time that the onions on the sandwich seemed almost carmelized and I liked the flavor of those better than just "grilled". We have never been disappointed and would recommend it highly. read more

The little Swiss themed restaurant gave a real good vibe. The server was very welcoming & she helped decide our dish. Her suggestion was really good. We went for the dinner specialty, a sandwich & hot chocolate. A special mention to their soup of the day, beef stroganoff. Oh my, one of the best we've tasted ever. The dinner specialty, Pastetli, was excellent. The puff was crunchy, yet melted in mouth straightaway. The sauce was really delicious. We tried their pork schnitzel sandwich and it was equally good. read more

I visited this restaurant with a friend for purely nostalgic purposes. My second home growing up was in New Glarus and wanted to visit a place that reminded me of visiting my grandparents. Highly recommend the Glarner Stube for an authentic Swiss style meal. We opted for a cheese fondue and shared a reuben and finished our meal with a perfect slice of hot chocolate cake! We got lucky to get a table as we arrived at 12:02 and the place was already busy! Wonderful food and service! Ask for DJ! read more

Glarner Stube - Perfect bloody mary with cheese fondue - American Near Me - New Glarus, Wisconsin

One of the main reasons we always visit NG! It's one of our families top 5 places to eat authentic meals. The fondue is always top notch and the small, quaint dining area is always warm and welcoming. This trip, me and the wife had a couples weekend and enjoyed the bar. Everyone was friendly and the bartender was extra entertaining tonight. She brought us into the conversations like we were just another local. Very fun! Top notch food, fair price for the quality that always exceeds expectations. Counting the days we can make it back! Wiener schnitzel was perfectly cooked and the Roosti ( sorry if I messed that one up, the Swiss hasbrowns) was perfectly cooked. My wife had the prime rib that was on special and that was equally great as well! read more

Delicious food and cool environment! We especially liked the pretzels and dip, fondue, and Roesti. Would definitely return and recommend in the future! read more

This place is always great. The problem is getting a table, so we went on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend but without high hopes. It turns out that they didn't have a lot of couples, and a table for 2 was available. No wait!!! The food is excellent. When it's just my wife and I we'll split a weiner schnitzel, but when our whole family goes, I'll explore the menu. It's all good. The salad with their house dressing is remarkable. And, of course, you have to have roesti! Whoever thought of hash browns with Swiss cheese is a genius. Have a New Glarus Spotted. Cow on tap and your evening is complete. read more

Came here just to try roesti (essentially hash browns with swiss cheese in the middle) and enjoyed it but found it to be kind of bland. It was interesting to try though, and they served quite a large portion size. Overall, even though it was pretty busy and crowded, the bartender was kind and helpful but the food did take quite a while. Recommend stopping here to try the European specialties and beer selection while you're in town, just don't think it was for me (as a vegetarian and not much of a beer drinker). read more

This place was recommended by my parents, it was everything I hoped it was. Swiss food with a taste of being in Switzerland

Not worth the time. The new owners are riding the coattails of the previous owners. Sat at the bar and had a drink. $28.00 for two rail drinks??? This is not a clean supper club. While waiting for a table we noticed how filthy the bar was. The back bar was disgusting and the things hanging on the wall were full of dust, I don't think it's been cleaned in years. We finally got seated and was asked if we wanted a drink. Shame on them for screwing the first time, but no way!!' We ordered our meal. I had a soup and salad for my sides. I was asked if I wanted that ahead of time. Well of course I did. I want to have it and finish eating it before my main meal comes. We sat for 10 minutes waiting and finally my salad and my soup came out at the same time. That was fine, but then immediately came out my main meal. Why could they not bring that out the 10 minutes I was waiting? I took a taste of my soup and it was the beef and mushroom. If you took Heinz beef gravy and added beef and mushrooms, you would have my "homemade" soup. Baked cod was good. Grilled Shrimp was good. Timing for bringing out the food was bad. Prices were too expensive for a dirty restaurant. They are banking on a cliental from Madison. Save your money on a well run restaurant. Plus their hours are ridiculous! read more

Terrific lunch. Check out the daily specials and do not pass on the Roesti. It was wonderful. This is a place to leave your diet outside! I'm sure if you have a great deal of discipline you can find something here too eat, but trying food that is truly Swiss is a treat, and not very dietetic. The beer cheese soup was absolutely wonderful too! read more

Glarner Stube - Wonderful! The daily special (open face roast beef) was terrific, also the beer cheese soup was spectacular. Order the Roesti too! - American Near Me - New Glarus, Wisconsin

Walked in to get food before the 8pm closing time and they refused me dinner. 4 People walked in 5 minutes later and got to place an order. Wtf? I asked why? They said they had a reservation. If you say your open till 8 your open to 8. Not 7:40. Great food but when their servers wanna be done they are done. read more

The food was very good. I had the schnitzel, red cabbage and roesti. All we're reminiscent of meals I've had in Europe. The place is small, so good luck on getting a table. The decor is on point! Visit if you get a chance. read more

My friend and I wanted some Swiss-inspired food and Glarner Stube didn't disappoint. Old world charm with the proprietor on site to make sure everything runs smoothly. A mainstay in New Glarus with a bustling business serving both locals and out of towners. The prime rib and Reuben sandwiches were good and we enjoyed their German potato salad which is vinegar, not mayonnaise-based. So if you're in New Glarus go get "Stubed". We did! read more

It had been years since we had eaten at the Glaner Stube - so long ago that back then they still had the giant urinal (with its own postcard!). We were in New Glarus on a recent Friday afternoon and we stopped in to see if we could get a reservation for that evening. They do not take them but warned us to come before 5pm if we want a table without a wait. Since we had plans in Madison that night we grabbed a table by 4:30pm! Indeed the place was packed by 5pm. I think I had a beer to start but the main attraction was the Friday fish fry. Two had the cod, I had the perch and one had the perch sandwich. The price for the perch dinner was pretty high but the serving was huge. Too much actually. All of the food was delicious. The fish fry was very light and beer battered - my preference. The side of German potato salad was very good but a bit different with much more liquid. The red cabbage good but tart. The rosti, which is an up-charge, was excellent with cheese baked into the center. Nothing like having two potato dishes as sides! The servers were very helpful and kept things moving. Highly recommended! read more

Hit this place on a previous trip and made it a have to stop on our return journey. OMG get the cheese curds, fresh wisconsin cheddar and a light breading with an out of this world sauce accompanying. I had probably the best primevrib sandwich I've ever had. Not small slices of prime rib, but a whole piece beautifully marbled and seasoned.be sure to get the roesti. Hash browns with Swiss cheese inside. A friend ordered the sauerkraut as a side and I had to order some to take home. It's delicious sauerkraut, just tart enough, but not overly tangy and comes in a mustard cream sauce. Unbelievable. The venue looks like places I was in in Switzerland and the staff is fun and helpful. read more

Love this place. It is some of the best food in the Midwest. I have travelled 5 hours out of my way just to eat here. Ignore the haters. It's a small restaurant that gets full quick. Sometimes that means it can be a bit difficult to navigate and may feel a bit claustrophobic. The bathroom is small. WORTH IT!! That's not what you're here for. It's the food! The sausage is outstanding and the quality of the mustard they serve with it is equally as good. The Roesti is a unique dish that will be hard to find elsewhere and the Swiss cheese they use in it is wonderful. And don't forget the soup. Unbelievably rich and might be mistaken for gravy. Always has good beer on tap. I will gladly drive a few hours north to stop here. Go now! It's worth it! read more

Exactly what we looking for in a specialty restaurant. Service was attentive. Food was delicious. Cool small town vibe.

Lovely historical location in the heart of town. The Swiss Rösti was perfect! (A lot thicker than what I've had in Switzerland, but I'm not complaining! I ate as much as I could and took the rest home) Amazing friendly staff. Really good beers on tap. Their soup had me drooling, very tasty. Kudos to the chef and staff/owners. read more

What a disappointment. My husband and I had not been here since the pandemic and thought it would be a treat after a long hard week. We waited at the bar for our table, sadly the drinks were watered down. For dinner we indulged in the fondue which was so overly salty. For main courses I had the Wiener schnitzel. It was charred on the back and was so over cooked it was hard to chew. Then to top it off my husband bit down on a piece of plastic in one of his Swiss meatballs. Clearly quality has gotten away from this once favorite restaurants. read more
