Old Heidelberg Restaurant, Lounge & Bar
Old Heidelberg has a Bavarian kitsch atmosphere with steins on the ceiling and garden gnomes everywhere, but the authenticity of the menu is clear. A larger variety of German dishes are on this menu than anywhere outside of Deutschland. There is a "Sausages" Sampler Platter appetizer so diners can try four different varieties. There are schnitzels of all types, there are grilled steaks and wiener rostbraten, there is beef steak frikadelle, beef goulash, beef rouladen and stuffed pork roast tenderloin. Lamb chops, veal shank, schweinebraten, spanferkel (roast suckling pig with dumpling),and leberkäse (veal loaf topped with egg, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes) are just a few of the uncommon dishes on the menu at Old Heidelberg. This is a great place to come and try new German foods. Pricing is moderate and patrons leave satisfied, with leftovers. There is also a deli next door where prepared foods and other German products are available. The restaurant opens at noon, four on weekends, and happy hour is from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily.
