About Himmel Haus

Himmel Haus is a German restaurant that offers delicious food and a wide selection of German beers. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, with warm and efficient service. The beer menu is extensive, featuring options like super pils and doppelbock, along with cocktails, cider, and wine. The staff is friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming environment. The menu includes classic German dishes such as pork schnitzel, pork shank (schweinshaxe), and pork roast, all of which are highly recommended. The pork shank is so tender and delicious, and it pairs well with mashed potatoes and red cabbage. The mashed potatoes can also be substituted with fries for the pork schnitzel.

A great starter is the bavarian pretzel, which is large and perfect for sharing. It is delicious and perfect with the bacon-onion jam or the cheesy mustard fondue. The Käsespätzle is incredible, with melted smoked Gouda, Swiss and cheddar, and is a star of the menu. For dessert, the apple streudel with whipped cream and ice cream is a must-try, offering warm, comforting sweetness to finish the meal. The gravy served with the pork roast is a highlight, and both carrot cake and black forest cake are popular choices for desserts.

The restaurant features a full bar and outdoor patio area with some games, making it family-friendly. Prices are reasonable, and portions are generous, with meals often costing around $50 per person. The atmosphere can be lively and loud at times, and parking may be limited. Despite that, the warm environment and friendly staff make it a great place to enjoy a German meal and beer. Overall, Himmel Haus is a cozy, welcoming spot for German food, drinks, and good service, highly recommended for a memorable dining experience.
