Rudi Lechner

I have been eating at Rudi's for many, many years. Rudi is personally on site and pays attention to his menu, kitchen, and his staff. The German dishes are always excellent and the other choices like trout and lighter entrees are always excellent too. The place is always packed, yet the service is always efficient and friendly. I keep saying 'always' because I've yet to have a bad or even less than excellent experience in this place. The live entertianment is a pleasant bonus and Rudi making his speciality flaming drink at your tableside is a treat.

I took my boyfriend (he is Czech) here last night after seeing such good reviews. And it did not disappoint!! The food was great, the service was excellent, and everyone was so nice and pleasant. I'm not an expert on german food, but my boyfriend said it was very tasty. I had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious as well. They have Oktoberfest every Wednesday night with entertainment, buffet, and drink specials (as told to us by Rudi). So, we will definitely be going back!

Last week I had the pleasure of revisiting Rudi Lechner's restaurant on Gessner near Westheimer. It has been 15 years since I had been there because of a move. Rudi was
there to make sure the food was up to standard. Just a great place to take your clients or family for a quite lunch. The price charged reflects superior value for the quality and
quanty of food. I raise my glass to Rudi for consistent and high quality food as well as surroundings!

Ihave been going there for well over 15 years and never once had a bad visit. The atmosphere is delightful and the servcise is the best. Rudi always checks on customers and remembers names and faces. What can I say about the food...there is just no place like it in Houston! I have tried everything on the menu and have the hardest time deciding what eat because it all so freaking good. the weekend entertainment is fun and puts smiles on everyones face. The food is not all German or over priced for the quality. I recommened the Beer Schnitzel it is to die for. O' they the the best french onoin soup i have ever had. You can also make reservations to have the man himself cook steak Diane in front of you which is pricy and a perfect way to impress a date...it is mouth watering.

I was so impressed by this place! The service was just impeccable -- the servers were conscientious, and very nice! The food was sooo good. My boyfriend and his friend got the traditional German platter and my friend and I split the ooooooo soooo good chicken fried steak stuffed with swiss cheese and jalapenos....it was divine!!! The food was incredibly authentic (as I had just been to Germany) but offered a great selection of things that also had a Texas flair such as the chicked fried steak. Rudi came to our table and kindly gave us two streudels on the house -- he was certainly a generous and wonderful host. Great service, great value, great food -- I will most definitely eat there again!!!! (oh and if you like cabbage rolls, theirs are wonderful!)
