Hello Edelweiss Fans,
Over twenty-five years ago, our father purchased the Edelweiss restaurant so our family can share our German heritage with the Chicagoland community. Your support of Edelweiss over the years has been incredible and we are so grateful.
In these unprecedented times, we are asking for you to show your support in anyway you can. Stop by for your favorite German-American meal or liter of your favorite beer. Celebrate at home with one of our Oktoberfest party packages available for curbside pickup or delivery. Don't feel like making dinner during the week? Order our curbside pickup family dinner special. Perhaps purchase a gift card. Any support would be greatly appreciated!
We are trying our very best to celebrate Oktoberfest with our loyal guests in a fun, safe way. We look forward to welcoming you in our restaurant or seeing you at curbside pickup or delivery!
Thank you for your support,
Kristen Kosch Tenaglia & Matt Kosch

Do you know where your nearest fire hydrant is located?
I encourage all residents to locate and shovel the immediate area surrounding hydrants to help firefighters save precious time that could mean the difference between life and death.
