Ambiance (5/5): The décor has classic German themes throughout the restaurant. Liters and pints of German beers to try! We sat outside, where there were several outdoor dining tables with some fencing to provide some boundary between the street. Service (5/5): Danny, our server, gave us the best recommendations (and some customization). Strangely, our waters came after the meal but we were helped timely with our drink and food orders! Potato Pancakes (4/5): I loved how the pancakes were seasoned with the onion and garlic tones. I wished they were slightly thicker to get more of a crunch. It needed a little more salt but otherwise served with the apple sauce was my preferred option! Gebratene Ente (Duck) (5/5): This was absolutely divineeee! The duck was cooked to fall off the bone, so tender and packed with flavor. I wished there was more of the gravy that it was cooked in so I could dip everything in it. This is a must have. Wiener Schnizel (5/5): Per Danny’s recc, we added a side of the Jagerschnitzel gravy and subbed the potatoes with spatzle. Wow, the gravy really gives the bite some extra flavor. The breaded veal was amazing—perfect crunch, nicely flavored, and still delicious reheated. The portions were generous! The spatzle is a soft and buttery side that goes well with the whole dish. Everything was great and can’t wait to come back!

I went to this restaurant with a friend around 6 p.m. and was told there was a wait. We stood at the entrance for about 20 minutes. The restaurant’s lighting was very dim, and the tables were placed too close together. I could clearly see every dish ordered at the neighboring table and hear every word of their conversation. This made me feel a bit uncomfortable—I had no intention of eavesdropping on private conversations, nor did I want others to overhear ours. That being said, the food here is absolutely worth coming back for. Despite the noisy atmosphere, the food was truly amazing. The beer was great as well. I wonder if they offer takeout—I’d love to enjoy the food without the overwhelming noise.

We had a fantastic dining experience! We ordered the pork shank for two, and it was incredibly tender and juicy. The sausage was also packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The portions were generous—so much so that we couldn’t finish the entire plate and ended up taking some home. Overall, we loved everything about the meal and the service. Highly recommend!

I’d never been to a German restaurant before, so I decided to give Heidelberg a try. We went for Saturday lunch, and overall, the experience was enjoyable. We started with the potato pancakes, which we really liked. They were served with both applesauce and sour cream — my first time trying that combination. The applesauce was an interesting (and surprisingly tasty) pairing. For my main dish, I ordered the Sauerbraten. The sauce it came with was described as sweet and sour, but I found it mostly sweet — which worked well for me. The beef was a little on the dry side, though I’m not sure if that’s typical for the dish. It came with a potato dumpling that was more like a scoop of mashed potatoes, and a side of red cabbage that had a pleasantly sweet flavor — not what I expected, but I really enjoyed it. The wifey ordered the Wiener Schnitzel and absolutely loved it. It came with a small serving of lingonberries, home fries, and the same red cabbage that I had. Overall, we both enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu.

Great atmosphere and service. Very big portions for a good price. The pretzel was so good!

Cozy German Spot with Great Food, Since 1936. Charming old-school German restaurant with a rustic lodge vibe and staff in traditional attire. The German sausages with regular mustard and sweet mustard, potato salad, two types of sauerkraut, and Jägerschnitzel with Spätzle were all excellent. Great German beer selection too. Only downsides: weak AC on a hot day and the water glasses had a slight eggy smell. Otherwise, a solid experience overall.

The oldest German restaurant in New York, serves the traditional Sausages, Wiener Schnitzel and Smoked Pork Chops all with tasty Home Fries, Red Cabbage or Sauerkraut. An Apple Pie for dessert is a must. Service is friendly. Nice place if you crave for Bavarian cuisine.

Food was really good, but kind of pricey, and the service left a little to be desired. But the Jägerschnitzel itself would be worthy of a return trip.

Love this place and the atmosphere. Maybe I am too picky, but as an Austrian I have to say their food is just not that tasty. Schnitzel was solid (if you call it Wiener Schnitzel it should come w potato salad not roasted potatoes), Gulasch I make a better one at home and the potato dumplings were flavorless and I didn’t eat. The prices are really high. Wished there was a way to show people in NYC that this kind of food can actually be really good.

Food was fine if a bit underwhelming, there is better German food in the city. The beer and pretzel were excellent. The entrees were lackluster. The best aspect of this restaurant was the intimate setting. Not many places in the city can match the calming atmosphere. Prices were a little high but nothing exorbitant.
