We ordered the Wurst Platter, which came with Hungarian sausage and Weisswurst, sauerkraut, a crispy potato pancake, and spaetzle. It was hearty, flavorful, and a great option for anyone who wants to sample several traditional German favorites on one plate. Our server, Madi, was absolutely amazing. She had excellent suggestions, patiently answered all of our questions, and even brought out several beers for us to sample before we decided which one to order. She was kind, personable, and genuinely funny, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is unmistakably German, with traditional décor, a festive beer-hall feel, and live music that added so much energy to the room. Everything we saw coming out to the surrounding tables looked delicious, and people were clearly devouring their meals and enjoying themselves. It was one of those places where you could immediately tell the food and atmosphere were making everyone happy. Gutes Essen, kaltes Bier und beste Stimmung, Prost! (Good food, cold beer, and great vibes, cheers!) Overall, this was a fun and memorable dining experience with great service, comforting food, and an atmosphere that feels like a celebration. I would definitely return, especially with a group, to try more of the menu and enjoy the live music again.

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.

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!!

Staff here is lovely. Even though we got here one busy night, everyone was attentive to what we wanted. The little one got a chicken tender plate with fries and a side of veggies, and my husband and I split the platter for two. Our waitstaff forgot our veggies, but quickly helped resolve this when we brought it up. The veggies came out tasting delicious. The platter for two was great, tons of meats and a great side dish of gut friendly foods. I wish the sauce was on the side, but it was a nice flavor. The reason for 3 stars was the musical entertainment. I wish there was an option for 3.5 stars, I don't think 4 stars accurately represents this restaurant. The musicians were so talented and got us all excited to be there. It was great to hear some guests know some songs, which added a unique atmosphere to this restaurant. We'd def go back, but prefer another German restaurant when visiting Helen.
