First visit to Galena

Recommended by our B&B and glad we went. Service was good, ambience nice and intimate, and the food was great. The soups were the best in Galena. I had the split pea with sausage and my spouse had the French onion. Recommend both. The wiener...More

We wish there were six stars

We've eaten in restaurants all over Europe. This was, by far, the best cassoulet we've ever had. Do not be misled: despite its name, Fritz and Frites is a fine dining experience with a mix of German and French dishes. We chose the baked brie...More

Very Pleasant and Great Food

(NOTE - review based on a single experience) We checked this restaurant out and also asked some locals who recommended it. We were not disappointed - although the menu is short, it makes up in quality and preparation. The choices were nicely balanced between traditional...More

Delicious German food

We ate here on a Tuesday night. Two of us had the pork chop special which came with German potato salad and red cabbage. The chop was tender, and the accompaniments were delicious. My hubby ordered the sausage platter—knockwurst, bratwurst and one other. He loved...More

Best cuisine in Galena

Great Alsatian (between French and German) cooked with care and served with professionalism. We often start with pâté or charcuterie and Fritz’ soups are worth sampling. My wife is a fan of schnitzels I often opt for a very authentic cassoulet which is two meals...More

Avoid the Onion soup and bridesmaids

My friend and I wanted something different than the burgers, CBD oil, and hot sauce offered in Galena so we were delighted to find Fritz and Frites. What could be more simple than starting a meal with a portion of onion soup? Alas, how disappointed...More

Do you have gluten free options?

June 2, 2019|

Answer

I was a patron at this restaurant, not the chef or owner, but the menu is quite limited, so I doubt they have gluten-free options. You may wish to contact them.

Do they have a wine corkage fee? Want to bring our own wine?

Don't know but give them a call. It is a small place and if they do have, I'm sure it will be minimal. They won't be open again until Tuesday evening, 815.777.2004
