Located at 2424 Lincoln Avenue, Speisekammer has been providing tasty German food since 2002, and has been one of my favorite restaurants for the last few years now. Not only because of the food, but also because of the fun experience with live music and events every week. They have a bar area in the front and a dining area in the back with large wood slab tables that make you feel like you're in mid-century Germany.
Their beer selection is consistent and includes (pictured below) Asam Bock, a richly-flavored dark beer. Also one of my favorite food selections is the Semmelknödel mit Pilzrahmsoße, 2 Bread Dumplings made with bacon served with a mushroom sauce. Unfortunately, I gobbled them up before remembering to take a photo. These balls of goodness are moist and full of flavor. My entree below is their Braised Wild Boar (one of their daily specials). A hearty portion of tender pieces of boar with a surprisingly tasty potato/carrot gratin and a side of Spätzle (German pasta).
One of their specialties is their Spätzle. They even include a whole meal of it in their version of Mac and Cheese. Except this one is called Gratinierte Kasespätzle, which is Spätzle baked with caramelized onions, parmesan & cheddar cheeses. Perhaps a bit of carb overload, but very comforting.
Bread pudding is one of my favorite desserts, and they make it very well. Moist with a crispy top and served with a warm vanilla sauce, this dessert is lightly sweet and has just the right texture and flavor to make for a perfect ending.
I would recommend reservations if going on a weekend, but they are also open for lunch and offer gluten-free options.
