Grabbing a bite to eat with friends or having a date night with your partner is always a good time, but you don't always have to dine at the most popular eateries and chain restaurants to have a great meal. Sometimes the most delicious plates can be found hiding away in family-run establishments with secret recipes, pop-ups started by friends that grew into community staples or hidden gems with the tastiest bites for an affordable price.
Using reviews, awards and accolades, and first-hand experience, LoveFood compiled a list of the "most charming" restaurants around the country, selecting the most "delightful" spot in every state "from historic buildings turned into boutique restaurants to romantic date venues with breathtaking views."
According to the site, the most charming eatery in all of Wisconsin is House of Gerhard. Located in Kenosha, this family-run restaurant serves authentic German cuisine in the heart of America's Dairyland. House of Gerhard, which has a 4.6 star rating on Google and over 1,000 reviews, is located at 3927 75th Street.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this inviting eatery:
"For an authentic German dining experience, head to the quirky House of Gerhard in Kenosha. The owner, Gerhard Dillner, opened the quaint restaurant in 1964 and, decades later, his family is still running the establishment and serving his original recipes. There's an Oktoberfest weekend every September and plenty of authentic dishes, including a delicious selection of schnitzels served by staff wearing dirndls."
