Heidelberg Restaurant is a neighborhood favorite, known for its delicious German cuisine. The pork knuckle and sausage platter, schweinshaxe (pork shank), and sausages are among the popular choices. The giant pretzels and beef goulash are also highly recommended. During Sunday brunch, customers can enjoy comfort German food, such as the Leberknodelsuppe (liver dumplings in bone broth) and Ochsenmausalat (marinated beef tongue with citrusy fresh salad). The Schweinsbaxe (roasted pork shank) and Gebratene Ente (roasted duckling with plum sauce) are must-try dishes, offering a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The portions are typically huge, and the restaurant also offers a daily special, such as the creamy mushroom porcini soup. The service can be slow at times, but the food and cozy atmosphere make up for it. The restaurant has a secret back garden, which is a great place to dine in when it's open. Kailyn the server was very nice, and the paintings that decorate the restaurant are original and have been here for over 100 years.
Customers praise the consistently great food, with many highlighting the delicious pork knuckle and wiener schnitzel. The wine and beer selection is also highly regarded, and the staff are generally friendly and attentive, although there have been a few instances of poor service. The pork shank is perfectly done, tender on the inside with a crispy outside, and served in a huge portion that easily sharable between 2–3 people. The potato pancakes are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of rich potato flavor, making them highly recommended. Overall, Heidelberg Restaurant is a great place for a family meal or a catch-up with friends, offering a cozy atmosphere and authentic German cuisine. Visitors often enjoy the easy-to-find location and the memorable taste of the food that dissolves in the mouth, with staff who anticipate needs before asked.
