If you’re ever in Huntsville and want some real German food, you’ve got to stop at Old Heidelberg. I went while in town for Back to the Future: The Musical and it was such a great experience. They were super busy when I walked in, but the hostess got me seated quickly. My waitress, Alyssa, was amazing — super friendly and checked on me often.
I ordered the Bavarian pork schnitzel, and it was absolutely delicious. They brought fresh bread and salad while I waited, and one of the waiters, Ward, even took time to explain the difference between European and American beer pressure — which was really interesting!
Everyone there made me feel welcome, which meant a lot since I was dining alone. And the carrot cake at the end? Huge slice, amazing flavor, and enough to take home and currently eating while writing this review Shout out Alyssa and Ward for the best service I've ever had in a restaurant! I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in Huntsville.

Though the service has gone down a littl over the last few years this is still my favorite German restaurant in town. The food never disappoints and the service is good, I'm just spoiled to how it was when authentic Germans worked there.

Everybody is super nice and the German food is mostly quite authentic. Tamara and Alissa do always a great job making people feel comfortable. As long as I am on this work trip I will be retuning often.
I was touring alabama, and I met somebody the day before I arrived in Huntsville. That person told me she comes here every year for her birthday - so I thought I'd give it a try.
The name says cafe, but it really is more like a restaurant. I have the pork schnitzel with fried potatoes and a house salad with blue cheese dressing. Everything was great, tasty, and seasoned properly. I especially enjoyed the blue cheese dressing - it actually had nice chunks of blue cheese in it. The staff was quite friendly and attentive, and overall it was a good value.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.
Warmly greeted when I walked in. Restaurant is decorated like a week loved home, with antiques, pictures, and flowers. Felt warm and inviting. Music was low and conversation could easily be had.
Food arrived in a timely manner, and was prepared perfectly. Warm, fresh bread was served before the food.
Also--as i was leaving there was a network outage and I couldn't look up directions to my next destination. The manager happily looked up my destination and gave me basic directions to get there. Above and beyond service. Thank you.
