We love going to the Munich Haus Restaurant in Chicopee, MA for drinks and/or dinner. The Munich Haus has delicious German food, and is a great value if you buy a restaurant.com gift certificate (which are an even better deal if you get them on sale!). The staff wear traditional German outfits and they sometimes have an accordion player. The accordion player can be a little loud, as it was on this night. If that bothers you, request a seat in the bar area. They have some nice cozy booths.
One of the things we love about the Munich Haus is the value. The servings are large and the entrees come with soup or a salad (remember when that used to be standard at most restaurants?!). The salad is different that your standard house salad with some varieties of beans and other things on it. They also bring out homemade potato chips with a sour cream based dip when you are first seated. The entrees typically range from $15 to $20.

His meal was a Bavarian platter, which included pfalezer, nuerenberger bratwurst, sauerbraten, jaeger schnitzel, potato pancake, red cabbage, sauerkraut and spatzle. Don't ask me which is what.

To finish off, we got some stuffed cookies (this was before I gave up sweets for lent!). These cookies are so good. The chocolate stuffed chocolate chip one is our favorite. In the past, we have split a piece of cake. Be warned: they are enormous pieces.

Overall, Munich Haus is a fun place to go for dinner with friends or family. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The atmosphere tops it off. Keep an eye on their special events (such as wild game dinners) as well!
