A Quirky Little German Gem with a Side of Nostalgia!…read more What a fun and quirky little place! Heidelberg Haus is packed with more knickknacks than you can imagine, giving it so much character and charm. It's definitely not your typical restaurant, and that's part of what makes it so special! The restaurant itself is small, with just four tables and a rail, and every seat was full during our visit. Service was a little slow, but we understood that everyone had sat down around the same time, so we were happy to be patient. One thing we really appreciated was the reasonable pricing. It's becoming harder to find places where you can enjoy a genuinely good meal without spending a fortune, and Heidelberg Haus is a refreshing reminder that they still exist! I was torn between several menu items, so I was thrilled to discover a combo option. The pork chop and sausage were fantastic, but the real star of the show was the potato salad! Seriously, I could have eaten a second serving and already know that's a must on our next visit. But perhaps the most special part of the experience was something completely unexpected: the plates! They were just like the ones my grandparents had, and since they've both passed away, seeing them brought back such wonderful memories. It was one of those little moments that makes a meal about so much more than just the food.

Visited here for noontime lunch Thursday and had a choice between dining room or bar room dining…read moreand chose the latter. First time visitor here and had done some recon before a trip to Indy and landed on this interesting venue. Paid street parking was $2.00 hourly during my visit and payment is coin or credit and couldn't get the app to cooperate. Beautiful historical architecture with the overall building name of Atheneum. Entrance to Rathskeller is a very primitive appearing worn and weathered door with similar signage nearby. Upon entering the street level lobby, an elevator was straight ahead or a set of fairly steep stairs to the right to gain access. Going down the stairs, there are displays devoted to steins, various certificates, awards, and nostalgic photos. Reception desk to left. Staff offered dining room seating further to the left or straight ahead to the bar dining room. I also noticed a very large hall dining area to the right. The bar dining area had voluminously tall ceilings, oversized light fixtures, and an atrium atmosphere with enormous windows well above our heads. There were also taxidermied moose heads that seemed minimal in the large space. All waitstaff were welcoming and helpful. My server, Noemi, was fantastic and with answering questions about the menu and also provided a much appreciated warning regarding the spicy mustard! A complimentary warm pretzel was served along with cheese sauce and the aforementioned mustard. One dip made my sinuses scream, but was addictive in careful doses going forward. It also made my Spaten Lager even more refreshing. My jaegerschnitzel entree was served with German potato salad and sauerkraut. The meal was delicious and served piping hot, seasoned well, and easy to cut into. The mushroom sauce was earthy and substantial. Enjoyed visiting and plan to return and share with others. Would like to also plan to attend one of the property tours. Highly recommended.

I really, really wanted to like this place. As my husband and I have both enjoyed German food…read moreabroad, we were excited to try the menu for this restaurant. When we went on a Friday night, there was live music on the biergarten's patio, but it was so loud that even indoors, you could not hear your conversation. Upon arrival, even though we had a reservation, and there were only four other tables dining, service was pretty slow to be seated and the poor waitresses seemed overwhelmed. I will say the waitstaff is exceptionally friendly, even with a busier biergarten. The food, I'm sorry to say, leaves much to be desired. Presentation is unappetizing, and as some other Yelpers have mentioned, the meal is definitely not a feast for the eyes. I wish I could say the flavor was better, but everything was bland and underseasoned. My husband, who's never met a sauerkraut he didn't adore, could not even finish his meal. The portions are small for the price, but honestly, the flavor was so underwhelming it didn't matter how much was on the plate. The decor seems very throwback, replete with tourist tchotchkes and and faded pictures of Germany. The dark wood paneling does lend a moody, Germanic air, and from what I understand, they have a large selection of beers on tap.

But with some American ways of life. I opted to sitting in the patio garden area and was pleasantly surprised by the collection of plants and calming atmosphere under the shaded trees. Deciding on the beer cheese burger and fries, I was in for a treat. The fries are unique... in a great way. They are big and crispy and you can tell are made with some pride. The burger was good. The bacon crispy, the bun tasty with the pretzel element. However , the beer cheese wasn't necessarily beer cheese. It just tasted as though they put some of the yellow processed cheese you'd get at a concession stand. The burger was still good in my opinion but that cheese knocked some points off. Overall. I would definitely come back. Welcoming people and atmosphere.

The receptionist/hostess was less than friendly by saying before I even said anything and/or before we were even greeted "we don't have any open tables, it'll be a while". I was like "do you want my name and how many people are in our party?" She just seemed bothered by us wanting to eat at this establishment. We probably waited 15 mins and were seated at the very back of the restaurant in a huge booth. Our server on the other hand was extremely friendly and gave us great service. I ordered the sweet chili chicken wings. They were very tasty but I couldn't finish my order if 10. Parking: not sure if they do have parking but we parked on the street about a block away. Free street parking but a very busy one way street so keep that in mind.

Vegan friendly which is great for a burger place. You can come here and pig out while bringing someone who doesn't enjoy the slaughter - a big plus for extended family outings. A couple of other pros are there is a whole freaking parking lot which is unusual but awesome. The full bar has plenty of options including great craft beer. Last but not least the cheese curds are the best in Indy that I'm aware of. I've had a couple of their burgers so far and I don't think you can go wrong with them. The Motörhead is basically a Greek style burger which I found to be exceptional. Burgers are cooked to how you like it so execution is also phenomenal. The Neurosis is your Swiss and mushroom style burger, also great. While it's tempting to go off of the name when ordering I would try to make sure the palette matches your tastes - there's way too many options.

It fits right in with the Fountain Square neighborhood! This burger had a lot going on. Chicken, waffles, bacon and a sweet syrup making it taste like something you'd want to eat for breakfast. Everything worked, except the actual burger. And since that was supposed to be the star here, I knocked it a little for not meeting burger expectations. Unfortunately the burger was not seasoned at all. You can probably tell just by looking at it that it was also pretty dry. All the other elements were holding this together and the burger itself got lost because of the lack of seasoning and flavor. No complaints with service or presentation! Just needs improvement on the actual burger, at least with this one anyway.

I'm trying to cut back on my meat intake and decided to go with the inverted pretzel (pretzel bun grilled cheese). It's as if this sandwich were made to be consumed with beer. It was the perfect pairing for my evening at Indiana On Tap's Tasting Society. Cherry on top? It was super affordable. Next time, I'm going big with the Chuebakka. Given the ingredients on hand for the Wagen, I'm hoping another veggie-friendly sandwich is in their future (kraut-based sammie? hmm...how I love me some kraut).

This is in downtown Indy, and parking meters are free after 11 PM, which is a nice bonus if you're staying out late. We were greeted when we walked in and were able to choose wherever we wanted to sit. For my drink, I ordered a Crown & Coke, and I also ordered a dozen wings to share with my cousin. We decided on the House Wings and asked for them extra fried because that's how we like wings..... crispy! The drinks came out pretty quickly, while the wings took a little longer, but they were definitely worth the wait! We got the wings tossed in their house sauce, and we both loved them. They were delicious! They came with ranch, celery, and carrots. There weren't many flats in the order, which was a little challenging because we both prefer flats, so maybe next time we make that request. I'd definitely come back for the wings! The Crown & Coke was about $8, and the dozen wings were around $22. Add tax and tip, and you can do the math... They had 1 gender neutral restroom, pretty clean.
