    While visiting Helen, we chose to stop into Heidi Haus because of its Polish options. The ambiance wasn't what we were expecting, but we decided to stay because the guy working was friendly. While the food was tasty, the service was a little tough because they apparently had a few call outs, so we didn't get offered basic things like water, and he said he was going to bring over sharing plates but never did. As someone who's Polish, the pierogi and stuffed cabbage got my seal of approval, but the kielbasa on the pierogi platter could have been better.

    Naturally, sharing the same name with the establishment, I had to give it a try! It's a small cafe/restaurant located above one of the souvenir shops in the heart of Helen. I ordered the pierogis, sausage and the Jäger schnitzel, which were all made to order. You can hear the chef pounding the pork in the kitchen so it doesn't get fresher than that! Everything was delicious, fresh and appropriately portioned. When the owner found out my name was Heidi, he gave me a free beer, which was very nice of him. We spoke to the owner (who is also the chef) who gave us a background on where's from and how he came to plant roots in this adorable German town. 5 stars all around!

    EDIT: The owner sent me a message claiming I am lying about my wait time, I have hundreds of reviews and don't lie in my reviews. Changing my review to 1 star instead of 2 because of this. GOOD FOOD, BAD EVERYTHING ELSE! As a Polish girl, I was excited to come have some Polish food and beer. Even though there is beer listed on the menu, we were told that they don't have any beer because they are trying to get a liquor license. I'm confused because I see previous reviews with pictures of beer. Anyways, they don't even give you free water, and we had to pay for a bottle of water. We ordered one plate of pierogi to share, and after about an hour, the waitress brought our check, even though we hadn't even gotten our food. When we told her we hadn't gotten food, she said the cook is still working on it. We got our food about 10 minutes later, meaning, he barely started working on it when we mentioned we hadn't gotten our food. Then our waitress brought our check again after we had only had a couple of bites, she really wanted to get us out of there. No one asked how we were doing or if we needed anything. I will say the pierogies were very good and it tasted authentic. I probably would not be back, and try to find a different Polish restaurant, or just eat German food when I am in the town of Helen.

    While visiting Helen, GA, we stopped in here for lunch. Decided to opt for their outdoor dining upstairs which is the key move. Great for people watching and the ambiance. Does feel like you've been transported to Germany. Started with the pretzel, which is a must, then to the schnitzel and Ruben as our mains. Schnitzel was kinda okay but the Ruben was the star. So flavorful! Service was decent. We had a different server from the others around us and felt they were getting more attention, specifically because we didn't get our beers until after our mains arrived and then felt she wanted to flip the table quick. Still would visit again.

    The food and the staff are amazing. You can taste the freshness in the food. It's a nice little spot above Helen Square.

    Schnitzel und Späetzel!

    Amazing!! Enjoyable!! Flavorful!! Memorable!! I've been to Germany and can confirm, this is real German food. It tastes just like what I had there! The staff is friendly and attentive. Food is amazing. The wait time may be a bit depending when you come, but it is 1000% worth the wait! You will not be disappointed. Try for yourself!

They have a nice large covered patio space beside the river. You can relax and watch tubers floating down the river. There was live music playing. I ordered the ruben sandwich and brownie. The food was delicious and hit the spot. My server was fantastic and didn't leave me hanging long after my meal. I appreciate a quick check delivery, especially having a pup out in the heat. They have parking across the street but you can't stay there to walk around town. This a nice spot to go for a meal.

This was my fourth time here, and I always bring someone new and everyone always leaves impressed. We ordered the Schweinehaxe, a traditional German dish, and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. It's definitely something I always go for when I visit because it's a must-try here. One of my friends was seriously impressed. We also had the mashed potatoes, which were very tasty, and one of my friends ordered the meatloaf and loved it. Overall, the food is very authentic, with plenty of traditional German options to choose from. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is very welcoming. There was even live music, which made the experience even better. Another highlight is the view, the restaurant sits right by the river, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place. It's definitely one of those spots you keep coming back to and want to bring new people to.

My biggest complaint is about the wait encountered. I was quoted about 30 minutes to be seated and was probably a little over that, thankfully with other parties leaving to get progressed through the list faster. Once we were seated though, the first thing our waitress said is that it was going to be another hour before the kitchen would have our food out. In reality, time from seating to getting our food was probably was closer to an hour and a half. I ordered the wiener schnitzel with potato salad and spätzle. Everything tasted very good. I enjoyed my schnitzel. I liked the flavor of their potato salad a lot but didn't care for peas being in it. That was a first for me. The spätzle was good. I did order it with some additional toppings which were missing when it came out. No way I was sending it back. The plain original one was fine and they fixed the check no problem before cashing out. All in all, I would recommend this place on the food if their was not a wait. I would be hesitant to recommend it if you get waitlisted outside because of how long it took the kitchen. I hope they get that figured out. On food alone I wpuld of gave them 4 stars. For me tonight and the overall experience, I have to drop it to 3.

    I had been following Kurt's Bistro on Instagram since the Covid years, but hadn't had a chance to…read morecome out until recently. My initial impression was very poor. We arrived 15 minutes before our reservation, but were told our table was already ready, so we were seated. (The restaurant tables are very close together, so be aware that if anyone in your party is wheelchair bound, it may be difficult for them to maneuver around.) The restaurant is kept very warm inside, and I'm usually someone who feels cold easily, but even I was rather hot. A woman brought water glasses and a water carafe to our table and said, "If you want something besides water, just let me know," and then walked off. So, in my mind, that woman was a food assistant or a food runner. Turned out, she was our waitress! She later stopped by, didn't introduce herself and didn't ask if we'd ever been there before, but did ask if we wanted an appetizer. We ordered Potato Pancakes. She also asked if we wanted bread service, so we said yes. We did notice from other conversations at the very close tables near ours, that many of the customers are regulars and have their favorite waitstaff. The manager had stopped by a table to regrettably inform a couple that their favorite waiter was out for 2 weeks. So, that did give us hope that if they have regulars, it must be good. The Potato Pancakes were delicious! (I didn't even stop to snap a picture because we were very hungry!) My husband ordered the "Bier" + Cheese Burger ($16.95), and I ordered the Pork Shank "Schwweinehaxe" ($34). The waitress said she had to check the availability of the Pork Shank, so I told her that if it wasn't available, to put in Chicken Wienerschnitzel. Then she didn't come back to let us know what the kitchen said. My husband flagged her down to find out if the pork shank was available, and she said she'd forgotten to come back, but that it was. He also told her that it was my birthday, so she brought out a cute birthday tea light for the table. The food was absolutely delicious, and for the price point, you can easily see why people are regulars there! The pork shank was enormous! (We ate off of it 2 more times after we took it home. The restaurant gave us extra gravy at no charge, too.) The rosemary mashed potatoes were very good! The presentation was lovely! My husband really enjoyed his burger. Then for dessert, our waitress brought out a slice of tiramisu with a wedge of chocolate cake over it, berries, whipped cream, and a little birthday candle in it. Turned out really wonderful! Will definitely go back to this unique spot!
