What People Are Saying
from Google"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."
"First visit in about three years. Second visit overall. The first experience wasn't good. We were never waited on after we were seated. We walked out. Overall yesterday went well. The food was very good. The service wasn't bad but it wasn't great. My wife asked about the special on the board and she knew nothing about it and didn't make an effort to inquire about it. She told us she had been there for seven years. It's a shame. I'm sure we'll be back because the food was very good. I'd recommend the Bavarian pork schnitzel with warm potato salad. I also got the slaw. My wife got the black forest meatballs over spatzel."
"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."
"Took my parents out for lunch. Everything was wonderful from the staff to the food would highly recommend. We were greeted and sat right away. Waitress was very helpful explaining the different dishes to my Mom. We had the sausage sampler for an appetizer. Main dishes were pork schnitzel, Reuben sandwich and chicken schnitzel sandwich all were great to include all the sides. Fried potatoes, euro slaw and cucumber salad were very good."
"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."
