The Heidelberg

We had a very enjoyable dinner at the Heidelberg this week while on vacation in Helen. The weather is beautiful so we chose to eat outdoors on the second floor balcony. The View was wonderful overseeing the beer garden. The service was excellent, prompt, and friendly. The restaurant was clean as where the bathrooms. My husband had pork schnitzel stuffed with bacon and mushrooms, spatzle, and German potato salad. I enjoyed a pork schnitzel stuffed with cream cheese and chives, along with a double order of spatzle. The portions were very large we ended up taking half home to our hotel where we fortunately had a refrigerator and microwave. We ended up having the rest for lunch the next day. It was a very enjoyable meal and we pass along our compliments to all the staff on a great job! Highly recommend if you're in the area

The Heidelberg is our FAVORITE restaurant in Helen! The best beer on tap in town, the ABSOLUTE BEST pretzels!!! Now the butter that comes with the pretzel just tastes like unsalted melted butter but get the cheese, its excellent! The schnitzel sandwich is nice and flavored, and the brown mustard added takes it up a notch! The fries are fresh and delicious too!! 😋 We have been twice and plan to go at least once more before leaving town, its THAT good! Service is excellent too.

We wound up stopping in 2 more times. We got the schnitzel sandwich and fries on the second visit and it was nice and thick! Great flavor and GREAT bread! The last visit we got bratwurst and the heidelburger. Both were excellent! The only thing we didnt care for was the german potato salad. More like just buttered potatoes, no tang or zip at all. Still one of our favorite places!

Visiting North Georgia and made a detour to Helen to check out the shops and have lunch. We had everything from the wonderful pretzel with beer cheese(which I would recommend skipping...the 4 different kinds of mustard provided on the table paired perfectly with it and a beer) the schnitzel, red cabbage, wurst and potato salad, well everything was wonderful. One of the many great places to stop and eat in Helen GA.

Authentic German dishes. Had a great dinner on my birthday. Not enough room for dessert after a great dinner. Didn't use the stairs, to the left of the restaurant is a sidewalk that brings you to the second floor restaurant, no steps involved.🙂

Our Service was phenomenal. Our waiter was SERIOUSLY THE BEST! Marcus, thank you for being so hospitable. The food was outstanding and huge portions. HIGHLY recommend this restaurant! Also, shout out to Christopher for clearing our table with Marcus!

Went to Helen GA for the first time today and wanted some good German food. I know what that should taste like so I was pleasantly surprised by how good our food was. We ordered the JAGERSCHNITZEL (We got the breaded & fried version, but you can also get it grilled) with sides of German potato salad and sauerkraut. DELICIOUS.
We weren't really very hungry or we definitely would have tried the yummy looking large pretzel with the beer cheese. They also have cocktails and lots of beer to choose from!
Just from what I saw of the inside of the restaurant, it would not be the type of atmosphere I would like. That said, I would say that about most places. I usually prefer to eat outside. Luckily, they did have a small balcony with 4 outside tables. So we were fortunate enough to get seated out there and have great live music coming from the beer garden next door to listen to.
Our server had only been there a few weeks but he was fabulous as well.
Would definitely return!

We love coming here. We have been twice. Once last year and 364 days later we are back. The snitzel and sausages are deelish. My wife loves the smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers. I enjoyed drinking the Ocktoberfest draft. It would be cool to have something a little stronger on yap. Anyways our server was awesome. We had her last year too so it was cool to see her help us again. We love the place and will be back. Auf wiedersehen!

Without a doubt excellent food. We had Jaeger Schnitzel, Goulash Soup, Bratwurst, Reuben, and all was delicious. Even the Apple Strudel was excellent. The spaetzle and blue cabbage were perfect. Better than what we had at the Bodensee the night before.

I give it a 4.5 to 4.75
Food was good. Service was a little slow to get our drinks but food came out pretty quick. Server was somewhat attentive but not overly so. Atmosphere inside is a bit drab. Prices were ok for the quality and quantity of food received. Between the 3 of us we got 3 teas, 2 Reubens, side of Spaetzel, a Schnitzel plate and potato pancakes for an appetizer. After $13 tip it was $79
They bring you a receipt with a subtotal... you add tip then they charge tax and add 3.99% for credit/debit card fee which is a bit ridiculous.

I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at The Heidelberg. It was super busy, but the wait was surprisingly quick. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, from the pretzel appetizer to the sides. The German potato salad and red cabbage was my favorite part of the meal.

Absolutely delicious! We lived in Germany for many years and this food is so close to "home". We had stuffed schnitzel with potato salad and red cabbage, schnitzel samdwich, and kids had chicken strips and fries, of course!

The best pretzel and meal we have had in Helen ! Their food is awesome and our server Ethan was very pleasant. We are so happy we stumbled across this place walking around last night. We decided to try it for lunch today and it did not disappoint .
Wish I would’ve taken pictures of our meals! We ate them way too quickly they were so good!

Service was wonderful,the food was delicious!! The wait took about 20mims to get seated. The place was busy, well worth it!! Must try!!!!

Epic restaurant! Huge portions!!! Great value and authentic meals!!!! Highly recommend! Even kids meal HUGE!!!!!

Experience the schnitzel! And such much more. Great food, incredibly cool vibe, and amazing staff

We both had the hammered thin pan fried pork, light crusted & covered with mushroom sauce. I think it was called Yagersnitzel. It was delicious! Our waitress was Daylin, who served us well. She anticipated our needs before we asked. The food came out quickly. It comes with 2 side choices. I had the red cabbage & fries. The cabbage was sweet & sour with raisins - tasty. The fries were nice & crispy. My wife had the sauerkraut & German potato salad. Both were very good. We would definitely come back again.

The food was delicious. We had pork chops with some delicious side name of which I can’t pronounce 😅 and kielbasa was very delicious too. We had a great time sitting on the balcony listening to the music and enjoying our conversation. Lots of beer 🍺 choices here.

We got seated right away at Oktoberfest. Food was excellent. Great mustard selection , ketchup selection, music upstairs, great vibes
Everyone enjoyed their sausage and sauerkraut as well as beers
Very fun place to get a breather from the outdoors and experience German culture

If you’re looking for authentic German food, look no further! Amazing food…everyone in our party was raving about how good their meal was. We were even visited by Santa himself! Second time visiting this restaurant and it can get busy so recommend getting there early to put your name in…they don’t take reservations. We dined in upstairs hall area.

Get the pretzel!! It's huge and delicious. Our group of 5 shared it. I could have just eaten half of it for lunch.
The Reuben sandwich and fries were food and my daughter loved the Jager Schnitzel with mushroom sauce on the side. 5 stars all the way!
