This is a great little spot off the beaten path in Helen. We stumbled across it while wandering…read morearound during Oktoberfest. Two things made this spot really stand out. First, it has probably the best selection of beers on tap in the city. Second, they have lots of TVs that were all tuned into various games of college football. It was incredibly nice to have a solid selection of beer and to be able to watch all of the relevant college football games. Now, it's not a particularly big spot, which adds to the charm in my opinion. And they don't have their own bathroom. You have to walk a bit. But none of these are even remotely deal breakers. I will visit Helen again in the relatively near future and this place will be on the agenda.

It was a sweltering day outside and the A/C and cold beers were definitely a welcomed sight. The owner and staff we spoke with were so friendly and gave my brother in law (who will be close by now) the run down on upcoming Oktoberfest events and when the best times to visit were to avoid the insane college weekends. We had one of the most delicious pretzels I've ever consumed and I took precisely zero pictures of it because it didn't last long. Inside the shop is small but they have a big beautiful outdoor seating space with games at each table. We look forward to visiting again in the cooler months and checking out their sister store up the road.

You order your food up front and can grab it and take it outside. We enjoyed our pretzels and beer here, but wish we didn't have to wait inside for a while before getting our food (or that it could have been walked out to us). Prices were great for the location. Liked the string game outside (where you try to get the string on the hook). A great little stop for a quick, cheap bite. Not necessarily a place to linger.

The food almost tastes freezer burned and the burger I had felt fake and dense. The only food that felt edible were the onion rings. I would come for drinks only but there are so many cool bars in Helen I probably won't be back. Points to the extremely nice and bubbly waitress. She took great care of us and made us feel welcome. If you're looking for quick drinks with an outdoor setting that has great people watching than this would be a fun place to start the night or after an extremely drunken night where the taste of food doesn't matter much.

Overall, Bodensee is a great spot for a relaxing lunch while visiting Helen. Good food, refreshing German beer, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere made it an enjoyable experience. Would definitely visit again!

THIS was my favorite place of the stay, and the most authentic. You sit at benches/picnic tables, the food is spaetzle and schnitzel, the drinks are reasonable and the feel is pure German. If you have ONE stop, do Bodensee...and if you're staying for the weekend, make this your last meal. Highly recommended!!
