The Berghoff

For more than a century, the Berghoff name has been synonymous with superb food, family tradition, and hospitality excellence – and is an iconic Chicago dining experience. Today the Berghoff Catering & Restaurant Group, under the helm of fourth generation Carlyn Berghoff, includes the historic Berghoff Restaurant – one of the nation’s oldest family-run businesses, Berghoff Café, and Berghoff Catering.

The Berghoff’s doors opened in 1898 as a men-only saloon serving free corned beef sandwiches with the purchase of a stein of Berghoff Beer. Through the years, The Berghoff expanded into a full-service restaurant rich in German-American cuisine and culture. At today’s Berghoff, diners will find lighter and more contemporary dishes along with treasured old world favorites. And famous Berghoff Root Beer and the annual Berghoff Oktoberfest are evidence of its deep German roots.

Building on the Berghoff tradition of offering clients innovative special events planning and catering services is Berghoff Catering, one of Chicago’s best catering and special events companies. Under the direction of CEO Carlyn Berghoff and Executive Chef Matt Reichel, seasoned professionals create extraordinary experiences and deliver flawless execution on-premise at the iconic Berghoff Restaurant or off-premise at Chicago’s most unique special event venues.
