Hügel Haus - Ellison Bay

Very relaxed casual dining. Everything we had was delicious and servings are generous. I would recommend something but I firmly believe you could not go wrong with anything on their menu. We will definitely be back our next time in Door county. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

German cuisine can be quite inconsistent; when you find a place that serves food that matches the excellence of its beer, it's always a treat. This restaurant is hands down the best German establishment I've ever visited, and it could very well take the top spot in Door County. It's truly outstanding. As a fan of German beer, I've explored many restaurants, and I've learned it's wise to play it safe by ordering bratwurst if the food, reviews, or menu don’t seem appealing. However, this place is the real deal. The entire menu is impressive, but if you visit on a Sunday, don’t miss out on the pork shank special—you'll be glad you did.

Keep Googling for a better restaurant in Door County. Let’s begin with the UNwelcome welcome at Hugel Haus. We waited for the doors to open at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 14. We were second in line and seated promptly. While showing us to our table, the hostess stated that due to volume, we only have the table for one hour. We ordered quickly and our food was delivered to the table soon thereafter. One entrée was the Rouladen nightly special $28.00). The menu states it was slow roasted; however, the beef had a very hard sear rendering it difficult to cut and eat. It was stuffed with bacon that appeared to not have been cooked prior to stuffing it in the roulade – it was rubbery and flabby. My companion ordered the Wienerschnitzel $26.00). She wanted to switch the demi glaze for the Rahm sauce but was told that due to volume, they would not allow any substitutions – no exceptions. The breadcrumb mixture was so salty it tasted like saltine crackers were used for the crumbs. The demi glaze was also overly salted rendering the Schnitzel was inedible. Both entrées came with red cabbage it was cold on both of our plates. We asked our server, Cody, if it was supposed to be cold, and he replied no. Cody stated that he would tell the kitchen staff to check the temperature of the cabbage so it does not happen to anyone else. He did not offer to warm up the uneaten red cabbage on our plates or bring us another order of red cabbage that would have possibly been warmer. The information regarding their policies of time allowed at the table and no substitutions is for your information. This complaint is regarding the bad food and food that was not served at the correct temperature and was not rectified.
