Lauer Krauts

Lauer Krauts is a family-owned takeout restaurant at 26 S 6th Ave in Brighton, serving homemade German-Russian food made in small batches. The menu centers on krautburgers, a pastry pocket filled with hamburger, cabbage, onion and the family's own sauerkraut, available in original, American cheese and jalapeño jack versions.

Soups follow a weekly rhythm, with green bean soup on Tuesdays, chicken noodle on Wednesdays and chili on Thursdays, alongside beans and noodles. Dessert options include kouga (a German-style coffee cake), carrot cake, sinnamon rolls and German chocolate brownies, and desserts can be ordered by the quarter sheet pan. The restaurant says it has been featured by Guy Fieri's Food Network show.
