Yummy!!! I seem to crave this all the time. You can buy a big batch and they have amazing potato salad and soup!!!! The people that work here are so nice and the food is so good!!! Going here again soon! read more

It's ok I've been here for lunch and Tuesday's they have the green bean soup which is probably the tastiest thing I've had on their menu. The breakfast is good but needs more gravy in my opinion. read more

Wonderful food! Wonderful service! You must try their soup of the day. The times I've been there it was simply delicious and didn't taste like that "fresh from the freezer" stuff served at many restaurants. The proprietors are kind and friendly. You really do feel like family. The place is cozy and all their food is made from scratch. Hey, if Guy Fieri loved it, you know it's gonna be good! read more

Wow! Amazing cheap German American food that's delicious and won't break the bank! The service is wonderful and it's so awesome to see family businesses like this, will always be worth the 30 minute drive from Denver!! read more

The kraut burgers are absolutely delicious, nothing like I've ever had before. While you should come for the burger, don't miss the homemade soup. Its creamy, yet light and fantastic. The service is very friendly. Excellent lunch spot! read more

Awesome food and friendly staff. It's a family business and they really care about their customers. They were featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. read more

We saw this on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. We decided to give this place a try on our vacation to Colorado. Wonderful warm greeting immediatley upon walking thru the door. We ordered the Jack Lauer Kraut Jalapeno Burger and their chili.. OMGosh..what a treat! The burger was even better than we expected and the chilli was one of the best I have ever had. Great choices of condiments to put on your burger..We really enjoyed the honey mustard. We even enjoyed nice conversation with the staff and the owner. We ordered dessert to go as we were so stuffed we couldn't eat anymore. Rhubarb cake..and bread pudding. The rhubarb cake reminded me of the cake my grandmother made for me. I can't wait to visit again..SOON! read more

Soooooooo gooooood! I don't even like sauerkraut. But I would easy these all day! Love them.

Love this place. Owner Robin is a really nice lady so friendly. Reminds me of how restaurants were when I was a kid. Krautbugers are delicious the green bean soup may not sound good but it is the bomb... read more

This was a neat find while we were out running an errand in Brighton. Using the Yelp app, we found this place and after seeing Larren's pic of the kraut burger, we had to try it. Curt had a kraut burger with American cheese and I had the German sausage - both enclosed in a doughy bun/pocket type thingy. My dog reminded me of the bagel dogs I used to love as a kid - bite off one end, squirt mustard down and enjoy! Their homemade spicy and honey mustards were delicious, especially mixed together. I sampled a bite of the kraut burger and it was good too. With a drink and a bag of chips, plus a german chocolate brownie for dessert, and a sample of homemade sauerkraut on the side for me, we paid around $12. Sat outside on their clean patio with what looked like many regulars and had the friendliest service ever. They also sell German candies inside, such as a few varieties of Kinder and Haribo. The only thing that would have been better would be some German beer to go with :) read more

Awesome local joint for some traditional kraut burgers or cabbage pockets. What ever you call them by, this is the place to get them.

We have went there twice. Didn't care for it either time. Runza's is a lot better than this. No flavor either time and we were not treated all that great. The employees didn't smile and just gave us the look like we were intruding. We thought maybe the 1st time was a bad day for them so we decided to give them a second chance. No thanks. Won't return. read more

Friendly people, cozy atmosphere. My wife and I had a couple of American cheese Krautburgers and some chicken noodle soup. The soup was good, the burgers were pretty good, not amazing. I'd eat here again, but wouldn't go out of my way to do so. read more

Excellent food and service. Traveling through and found it on Yelp, wasn't disappointed at all. Very friendly staff, clean, and fast service! Food was hit and fresh! read more

Best kraut burger in town! Also the only kraut burger in town! This place serves some really good home made type of food. The folks behind the counter couldn't be more friendly and helpful. We'll be going back again and again! read more

the only other krautburger ive had was from a fastfood chain called Runzas in Nebraska....the ones at Lauer Krauts are way better....try one with their homemade honey mustard sauce which is the best ive tasted....they also make excellent best bread pudding read more

I had the Jack Kraut Burger.... Underwhelming and a serious lack of meat. The green bean soup was watery with odd shaped dumplings inside. The best thing I tasted was my daughters hot dog wrap. The service was OK, place is really small. The food needs work though. read more

Can't comment on the actual establishment, but just to make anyone aware they are closed sun/mon and hours are 7-4pm. Not much parking either. read more

Eat here every couple months. Came in today for there chilli dog. Home made chilli you can't go wrong

woot! great food here. the kraut burger with pepper jack cheese is my favorite.

Just ate here for the first time even though we have passed by it several times. I am gonna say its just ok, but my husband really liked it. I got the hot dog and he got the sausage and we got an american kraut burger to share. The hot dog was way to fat, you could make four hotdogs out of one of those! I think it was bigger than the sausage. I am partial to the skinnier dogs. And the burger has too much kraut/cabbage! I could barely find any meat in there. I do not like kraut but thought since it was mixed with hamburger and cheese that it wouldn't be bad but since that was all you could taste it wasn't very good. Again my husband liked it so that is why I gave it three stars. read more

I've been looking for authentic German food for years since my grandmother passed away. Nothing has even come close until I tried this place. Great food all around. I ended up ordering two meals to sample and was very impressed with the kraut, sausage, and kraut burgers. I ended up devouring it all even though I was stuffed. The sausage had great flavor and was perfectly tender. If you enjoy kraut and German cooking, this is a must try place for you. read more

Awesome, and I'm not impressed by celebrity endorsement. This place is the real deal. Big cabbage buns, cabbage cut in house. Not the cheapest but crazy good. read more

One of my favorites! I had to cut back when I went Gluten Free, but now they have a naked Kraut Burger SCORE!

Seems that this place has been here awhile just found it a few months ago. Very very good Kraut burgers! My wife says " better that her mothers". I love to stop by and pick up a couple for a Saturday lunch. read more

Tried the Kraut Burger for the first time and thought it was good, not great. At a price of $4 each, I would have expected more filling than pastry. I found the recipe on-line and look forward to making my own with more filling and less cost. read more

I have eaten here many times, get the jack burger. It is filling and super yummy! Add some of their home made seasoning for more zest and of course who could forget their homemade mustard. As for gluten free try it naked. The soups and deserts are amazing as well. read more

I looked up diner and this came up? Decided to go ahead and try it, ordered the jack meal and a German wrap brat. Taste was pretty bland for my taste. The dough wasn't doing it for me. The beef, cabbage mixture was just ok. The boil bratwurst was plain too. Thought itll atleast have a bite or kick but it didn't. read more
