The Willkommen Committee of the New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce recently visited Kaiserhoff Restaurant to celebrate the opening of its new patio space.

A longtime New Ulm icon, Kaiserhoff has been serving the community since 1938 and remains known for favorite menu items like its ribs and Ray’s Salad.

During the visit, the committee met with owner Herb Knutson, front-end manager Jill Sellner, and bartender Matt Neal, who shared more about the new outdoor area. The patio officially opened with a grand opening celebration on May 15 and will host additional activities throughout the season, including bands, bucket specials, and fun events and promotions.

The full Kaiserhoff menu is available on the patio, and patio hours follow the K-Bar: Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 10 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 3 to 11 p.m. Kaiserhoff and the K-Bar are connected within the same building, though they have separate entrances and Facebook pages where guests can find daily specials and updates.  For more information, visit the website www.kaiserhoff.org, Facebook or call (507) 359-2071.
