[[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for an authentic German pub experience on the Upper East Side, Heidelberg is a neighborhood classic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's located right next door to a German butcher, which adds to the old-world feel before you even walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We've only visited the small outdoor seating area along 2nd Avenue, and it's become one of our favorite places to relax, enjoy a drink, and watch the neighborhood go by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The patio is fairly small, so tables fill up quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're bringing your pup, I'd recommend a carrier or having them on all fours. There just isn't enough room for a stroller without making the space feel cramped.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The star of the menu (at least for us) is the giant soft pretzel. It's perfectly warm, chewy, and served with Dijon mustard--simple but absolutely delicious. If you're ordering beer, be prepared...the pints are enormous! Mom isn't much of a beer drinker, so she ordered the rosé cider instead and loved it. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is friendly, and it's an ideal stop if you're looking to unwind rather than rush through a meal. Dogba's Verdict If your humans enjoy a good German beer, a giant pretzel, and a little people watching, Heidelberg is definitely worth a stop. I'll happily supervise from my carrier while waiting for pretzel crumbs to magically fall my way. 4 paws up! Pup Perks * Dogs Welcome Outside * Carrier Friendly * Dogs on Leash Welcome * Not Stroller Friendly * Giant Soft Pretzel * Massive German Pints * Excellent People Watching read more

Came here for some good German food based on the positive ratings. For the most part Yelp reviews are my goto and very few times have let me down. Well this is one of those times. I had the single combo and was very surprised that the food tasted very bland. The flavors were good but very mild. Overall price and service were good, but the food was tasty but very bland. read more

This was a place that we walked past about 875,000 times. And said "we should check it out sometime." Sometime became today! And boy, were we in for a pleasant surprise, as we truly enjoyed ourselves. No one does beer hall like a German place. This is just facts. We had the Berliner Weisse, which comes in a .5L or 1L boot (does German beer count if it's not in a boot?). This was a delicious raspberry syrupy undertone wheat beer, and definitely a must have for next time. Though there were like a dozen other beers I need to have. They also have a pretty extensive wine selection, if that's your thing. We were there for a brunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When we arrived, before 1pm, it wasn't busy at all. By the time we left, it was pretty full. The bar had seats though[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Anyhoo, I tried their "energizer" which were eggs any style (poached for me), creamed spinach and mashed potatoes. Never had a breakfast like this one! It was almost like a deconstructed eggs Florentine. YUM. My husband had the Heidelberger which was a German style hamburger with frizzled onions and mashed potatoes. He let me try some, it was pretty fantastic so I may need to try it sometime myself. Also do not miss their ginormous Bavarian pretzel. It was quite possibly the best I've had (and I've had many!). The service was outstanding, and the vibe was ... I dunno a step above what you saw in Fast Times where they go to the German restaurant. My only regret is that I didn't get the apfelstrudel. Next time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Washrooms are single occupancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

After a long day exploring Central Park during the heat wave, we realized how hungry (and thirsty) we were! Ice cold beers sounded heavenly and this place did not disappoint! We started with potato pancakes for the table. They were crispy on the outside and there was just the right amount of onion to potato ratio. Very tasty. Entrees we enjoyed: Beef Gulasch and Jagerschnitzel. Really hardy portions and both were delicious. Split pea was soup of the day and paired nicely with the cucumber salad. Overall great experience! read more

My husband and I needed a little Christmas cheer, so we decided to stop by for a spot of brunch. The Heidelberg, a cozy German tavern bedecked with fir garlands, festive paper lanterns, and warm string lights, was exactly the environment we sought. We sat at the bar among the restaurant's regulars and ordered two dishes to split: the bauernfrühstück and the apfel omelet. Of the two, the apfel omelet was the star of our meal. It's similar to a crepe but thicker. It's stuffed with apples and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Some may say it's more dessert than breakfast, but even with the ice cream, the dish itself was balanced, as neither batter nor filling was too sweet. I scarfed that down quickly. The bauernfrühstück was not how I expected. Portion-wise, it was more of a side dish than an actual meal - I had anticipated it to be heartier, bigger. The menu described it to be an egg scramble with home fries and bacon, but now that I think about it, I don't recall any bacon in the dish! For $19, I didn't think this was worth the money. Still, it was delicious. My expectations were not in the right place, I suppose. Nonetheless, I've been to Heidelberg before and have enjoyed their other dishes, including the jagerschnitzel, which I highly recommend! Heidelberg is such a gem in this neighborhood, and I would definitely return here for a warm, cozy meal. read more

A Historic Yorkville Gem for Authentic German Comfort Food Heidelberg is one of Yorkville's true treasures and one of the oldest family-run German restaurants in the United States. Dating back over a century to when Yorkville was a thriving German neighborhood, this place has managed to preserve both its history and its heart. The restaurant feels like a living time capsule. The bar and dining room are beautifully frozen in time, capturing the warmth and charm of old-world Germantown. The menu stays true to its roots, offering classic German comfort dishes alongside a few thoughtful additions, all prepared with the same traditional recipes that made Heidelberg a neighborhood institution. If you're looking for an authentic, no-frills German dining experience in Manhattan, this is it. Stepping inside feels like entering a cozy Bavarian cottage--homey, welcoming, and refreshingly unchanged. The Food Portions are generous and deeply satisfying. Standout favorites include: * Pork Shank Platter for Two featuring bratwurst, bauernwurst, and weisswurst, served with potato salad, red cabbage, and sauerkraut * Marinierter Hering, an imported marinated herring filet with onions and sour cream * Potato Pancakes, made from freshly grated potato, onion, and garlic, fried until perfectly crisp and served with applesauce and sour cream Atmosphere & Service The décor is classic Bavarian kitsch--in the best possible way--and adds to the restaurant's unmistakable character. Service has always been warm and attentive during my visits, and the bartenders are knowledgeable and happy to guide you through their excellent selection of German beers. Bottom Line Heidelberg is a must-visit for anyone craving hearty, authentic German comfort food in NYC. It's a rare survivor, proudly holding onto its history while continuing to deliver a consistently satisfying experience. Prost! read more

Come here with friends for good german food and definitely drinks! This place's got a cheery and cozy cabin atmosphere. Prices may seem a bit high at first but it's Nyc and the portions are extremely generous. Give it a 4.5. There's a plenty of beers to choose from and we tried the seasonal ones as well. Our server was attentive and given our large group of 6 ppl, managed to remember and deliver all our beers! The pork shank was good - not too dry on the leaner parts. It's even better if you can eat the leaner parts bite by bite with the fat and crispy skin! We got the pretzel and potato pancakes (very crispy) as apps and they were delicious. Only thing was the texture to the red cabbage and saurkraut - wished they were not so finely chopped/shredded (but that's just personal preference). read more

Amazing unique spot on the UES. Food and atmosphere are amazing. You will not find a place like this anywhere else 10/10

In the 1970s when I lived in Yorkville it was obvious why the area was dubbed "Germantown." Heidelberg is one of the oldest family-run German eateries in the United States, and sadly the only remaining German restaurant in Yorkville. East 86th Street is now lined with popular chain stores; the street lost its flavor. Heidelberg is low-lit -- thus my dark photos -- with an interior reminiscent of earlier times. One can sit at the bar (which my husband did when he came by himself), in the dining room, out front on Second Avenue or in the 'garden' area (which doesn't look garden-like.) Heidelberg is popular; I noticed a good number of European patrons at dinnertime. We had no problem getting a table, but reservations are recommended. T ordered a sausage platter: bratwurst (which I tried and enjoyed), bauernwurst and weisswurst. More wursts than I'd be interested in. The plate came with red cabbage, sauerkraut (which I liked better than the red cabbage) and German potato salad. To be candid, German cuisine isn't my thing. I ordered jagerschnitzel which was sauteed with onions, mushrooms and garlic in a white wine cream reduction. Had I known the schnitzel was so saucy, as you can see in the photo, I wouldn't have substituted spatzle (which isn't my favorite) for potato salad. While I gave a cutlet to T and took another home, I did enjoy my meal -- but vowed next time to make a dinner of appetizers. Heidelberg's potato pancakes look very good. read more

A little bit of history before I go into this review, this restaurant is located in Yorkville, a neighborhood on the Upper East Side that for about 20-30 years was dominated by German immigrants. As a result, you would see several German deli and shops all near each other on 2nd Avenue. Over time, the area became lost to gentrification and younger people, as rents rose and businesses fell. There are only a handful of these businesses left. Heidelberg is one of these survivors. Despite the high prices, the food is actually really tasty, and authentic, like stepping into Bavaria. I plan to visit Bavaria next year, so this perhaps is a good teaser of what is to come. I had to get the pretzel and the pretzel is really dense. It is a big one, served with mustard. Give me cheese with this and it really is a solid treat. The mustard alone is good because it is not too strong, so it helps make it all go down, but it is a monster to eat. I watched two people struggle to eat this. The fact that I was able to scarf one down by myself either says I can handle the load, or I am a fat pig. I will let you, the users on Yelp, determine which one I am. Per my servers suggestion, I went with the Sausage Platter for One, instead of the Schnitzel. It comes with three various sausages, potato salad, red cabbage, and sauerkraut. I also requested some lingonberries to change off to get some sweetness. Every sausage tasted fantastic and I enjoyed a little of the red cabbage and the potato salad (sauerkraut is not my thing). The lingonberries are terrific. It was like getting a dessert without actually paying for one. I recommend coming to a piece of New York City history and partaking in a generous brunch, lunch, or dinner at this institution. read more

Went specifically for the Schweinshaxe and it was amazing. Tender, juicy and falls off the bone but crispy outside -- perfection! This is so hard to find in the US.

My partner and I stumbled upon this gem after a tough workout in the area. It reminded us of one of our favorite restaurants out in Brooklyn, so we were excited to try it! It was quite busy at 2:30pm on a Saturday, we got one of the last open tables available. Inside it was very cute, decked out for Christmas. It was such a tough decision picking what to eat, as everything on the menu and that we saw coming out of the kitchen looked great! We ordered their eggs benedict (which came on a potato pancake!) and the kasespatzel with bacon. Both were great post-workout fuel and we left satisfied. Will absolutely return next time we are looking for a hearty post-workout feast! read more

Service is good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I personally like that old style wooded ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I can recommend the Wiener Schnitzel and the Schweinshaxe, albeit best shared by two. But STAY AWAY from the Schweinebraten. It's supposed to be a roast pork with crispy skin cut into about 3/4" slices--a little surrounding gravy. Here, its two skinny slices of pork that seems like it was steamed--no skin--and swimming in brown gravy. Look at google images of Schweinebraten. That is not what you're gonna get. read more

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! read more

I've been dining here for over 30+ years and the food is still delicious, portions still ginormous, and the service still warm, attentive and personable. Still run by a member of the family who's matriarch purchased the restaurant back in 1964, when you walk into the restaurant, it's literally a time capsule of yesteryears when decor was very ornate yet has the comforting feeling of being in someone's home dining room. But let's talk about this incredible food... Oh. The. Food. From my first bite over 30 years ago til today, the iconic recipes and flavors are still the same and untouched and so this New Yorker appreciates that so much. Starting with some of my favorites of their apps selections: the non fishy smelling creamed herring that just melts in your mouth is a you have to order item; to their potato pancakes that have great texture and body but oh so light that it does not give you the sit-in-your-gut gross feeling; to the addictive gooey buttery rich Käsespätzle, aka German mac-n-cheese, that is just the perfect comfort food on any day, are all items you just have to order at every visit here. Their schnitzels are all perfectly pounded to an even medium to slightly thin thickness and then battered fried to become this heavenly fried slab that is crunchy and soft and the best vessel that is to be paired with either their creamy jäeger sauce or my personal favorite, served a la Holstein, a Berlin version of schnitzel served with a side of anchovy fillets, capers and a fried sunny side up egg...a piece of each in one bite combined is just heaven, I've converted many anchovy haters to love this dish! I can proudly say ALL of the entrees here are an absolute must order but if you only have room for one, then please order the Schweinshaxe!! This humongous slow roasted and then crisped just before serving pork shank is the unctuous food of the German gods and the presentation is just eye popping. If I'm here with friends or family, I love ordering their Schweinshaxe platter for 2 (but really for 3-4) or their Schweinshaxe platter for 3 ( but again really for 5 imo...). The platter for 2 comes with not just the pork shank but the variety of sausages platter for one and the platter for 3 comes with all that is served on what platter for 2 offers plus thick slices of bacon and a smoked pork chop. Both platters are served on top of their famous all warm German potato salad, flavorful sauerkraut and stewed sweet and tangy red cabbage. I'm salivating just thinking about my next visit! It's a true iconic restaurant that is great to bring those who grew up here in NYC as well as out of towners who are looking to experience old world classic NYC cuisine. read more

Well, it was quite a disappointment after being told that this Yorktown tradition was much better cuisine albeit less Christmasy than its downtown competition. After visiting the German Consulate General, we were looking to celebrate new dual citizenship with authentic German cuisine. We came for midday lunch but ordered off the full menu rather than the lunch/brunch menu. My wife ordered the duck, I ordered the wienerschnitzel. The duck made my wife throw up two hours after ingesting it. My (albeit) medium-well schnitzel ordered came extra well-done, crispy both on the inside and out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was dark and freezing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Workmen were bringing in wood materials from the back and the door was left open for the duration of the meal to accommodate the establishment and its workmen over the dining comfort of its patrons.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We asked about the unendurable arctic environment and the genial young man seating us, serving us and also tripling as barman, returned to say there was nothing he could do.

We were craving authentic German beer & foods so we came here! There was indoor & outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors as I found it more comfortable. The waiters were very friendly & attentive. There was a big TV screen so you can watch your sports there. We were hungry so we ordered to share: 1) pretzel, 2) sausage platter for one, 3) wiener schnitzel, 4) beef gulasch entree, 5) black forest cake, 6) a fruity draft beer Pretzel - came w/ mustard & some cheese dip. The pretzel was super delicious & authentic. The pretzel was huge! It came out to us piping hot & the mustard+cheese dip complemented the pretzel very well! I would reorder this! Sausage platter for one (bratwurst, bauernwurst & weisswurst, served w/ potato salad, red cabbage & sauerkraut) - WOW! That bratwurst sausage was amazing! I loved that one more than the other 2. The potato salad was very delicious, but that red cabbage & sauerkraut was out of this world! I would reorder the bratwurst w/ red cabbage & sauerkraut as sides next time! YUM! Wiener schnitzel (breaded veal cutlet served w/ ligonberries, home fries and red cabbage) -The schnitzel was good but not the best. That ligonberry sauce was so delicious & made the cutlet even tastier. The home fries was delicious and very enjoyable, but that red cabbage is the star! Beef gulasch entree (hand cut tender chucks of beef, braised in paprika sauce served w/ spatzel and red cabbage) - WOW! This entree was super delicious. The beef chucks were so tender and well seasoned & braised. That spatzel was so delicious & complemented the beef well. Love that red cabbage! I would reorder this again! Black forest cake - I never tried black forest cake in Germany so i do not know if this one was authentic or not. This black forest cake was ok. We were happy to try it nonetheless. Fruity draft beer - I do not know the name of it, but asked the waiter for something fruity and refreshing. I regret ordering that because it ended up tasting like a juice more than a beer. I would reorder a draft beer next time! Super delicious foods! Great service too! read more

Never had German food in the States before so this was an interesting experience. Came here as a party for two for late lunch on a weekend without a reservation but was able to get a table very easily. Unfortunately, if you had arrived 15 minutes later you may have to wait a bit. In general, the service is pretty slow, it takes around 30 minutes after you order to get your food. - Wiener Schnitzel - Kind of surprised they served this although I guess if you have to serve any German dish it would be this. The schnitzel was pretty good, light breading with tender chicken although I wish there were a bit more flavor. The cranberry sauce helped a lot. The potatoes just tasted like diner potatoes. - Sausage Platter for One - I honestly can't taste the difference between the sausages but I liked all of them which is surprising because I usually don't like sausages. I will have to say though, the best part was the potato salad that doesn't have the normal consistency of the American ones that are more chunky. This one was more smooth but I still really appreciated it and it countered the meatiness of the sausages. Overall very solid German restaurant which I will come back for. Everything was a bit expensive and the service was a little slow but if you're looking for a different kind of experience, would recommend Heidelberg. read more
