Despite the wave of Hungarian immigration to Wisconsin in the 19th and 20th centuries, restaurants serving exclusively Hungarian food can be difficult to find. There are, however, many establishments that offer Hungarian food in addition to other cuisines, especially popular specialties such as sausage and goulash. Such restaurants aren't limited to Wisconsin's major cities; in fact, there are places across the state that offer the foods of Hungary. - House of Gerhard, in Kenosha, offers Hungarian goulash in addition to their menu of traditional German fare. Many dishes also come with the popular Hungarian dumpling spaetzle.
