Ol' Heidelberg - Huntsville

I ate here twice. I had the honey Pecan gluten-free chicken carving, not sure if that's the name, but it was really great. I tried both the swan and the potato salad, both have a little too much vinegar for my preference, but are really good. I also had a kind of sausage that was great. Staff ate friendly and the deserts are also good. There is a gluten-free chocolate cake available. That's great!

Good food. Reuben was nice, wish the sour kraut had a bit more flavor. The fried potatoes were amazing with bits of bacon woven in. Nice German beers on tap was a big plus!

I went here while on a trip to North Alabama and was looking for a unique place to eat. I am not German but have eaten in German restaurants before so your taste may vary. My experience here was mostly positive. We were given menus and one was a lunch menu and mine was the dinner menu. Since I had not been here before I was unaware and had chosen a meal from the dinner menu. The waiter told me that item was from the dinner menu. That is all that he said and i had to ask if the menu should be taken away and replaced with the proper one. I was told no. It was a really weird interaction about a simple thing. I chose something different and after a few minutes the waiter came back to say if I still wanted my first choice from the dinner menu he would make it happen. I thanked him for doing his best to correct the confusion. After a little while the food came. It looked really good and was a nice portion. I ordered the Assortment Platter from the dinner menu. This consisted of a mini Weiner schnitzel, mini chicken cordon Bleu and a Rauchwurst sausage with a choice of salad and side. It was a lot of really good food. My wife ordered Bratwurst Jarlsberg sausage platter with a choice of sides. The decor and staff uniforms appear to be dated and could use a refresh. Overall the food was great and the waiter was fine after the menu incident. I would definitely go back for the food and would hope to save some room for dessert the next time.

My wife and I stopped in late for a dessert after dinner at another restaurant (lost coin toss but I still got to go in the end). I had the 6 Layer Carrot Cake and my wife got the Turtle Cheesecake. The cheesecake was middle of the road to me although the carrot cake was fantastic and moist through every bite. Portion size was excellent and better than expected. The server was a very nice lady with a warm smile (did not get her name unfortunately). I have been here many many times over the years and have yet to be disappointed.

Highly recommend the honey pecan tilapia. But all the food is done very well. The cheese plate used to be spectacular and now is only mediocre.
