Scharf's Schiller Park Restaurant has recently been getting a lot of good press. It's a German restaurant that is about to close that has been around forever. The neighborhood is in decline and this is the reason the owner gives for his problem and lack of customers.
I have never been there, don't really go for German food. I remember how that picture perfect neighborhood used to be in the past. Well it is in decline now. That said it is IMHO still safe enough in the daytime/supper time but I wouldn't go there at night .

Its old school Buffalo.... walk in to dining room thru front bar. Get a draft German Hefevizen beer. Truth is that's mainly why I go lol
Still new place on blvd supposed to be good. Buddy said his waitress knew German and she was happy to chat with him in German when he went and their pomfrits (french fries) were very good too. Also told me they has German beer knowing I'd never go if they didn't lol
