    Pierogi platter
    Scott N.

    I went here because the food pictures outside the restaurant drew me in. We ordered the headline pierogi platter and it was just ok -- not something I'd come back for. I was hoping for something a little more special and almost turned around after walking in because the ambience was just ordinary.

    The Heidi Haus

    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!

    Jaeger Schnitzel with gravy on the side, another enormous portion.

    They are open Sunday! We looked on yelp and it said they were closed...untrue, and so happy it was open, we had the combo platter and the Jaeger schnitzel with potato dumplings, Let's start with the service, 10/10 we were the only ones in as we arrived around 4:30 on a Sunday, was told everything is made fresh so there might be a little wait, food came within 10 minutes of order, Combo plate hade 4 different pierogies, 1 large piece of kielbasa and 1 large cabbage roll, all were amazing, the pierogi had such a delicate shell that I am surprised it didnt break when cooking, the kielbasa had great flavor and a nice snap for the casing and the stuffed cabbage was delicious, the Jaeger Schnitzel was delicious , crisp and flavorful and the potato dumplings were a nice light side that paired well. We tend to seek out Polish food when on vacation and were pleasantly surprised and will return when we return to the Helen area!

    Not a fan of this message from the owner

    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.

    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!

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

    They are no longer open. We stopped by at 5:30pm on a Friday. All the lights were off and it was vacant.

Hofer's is part bakery, part restaurant and part retail. It might sound like a lot but it comes together seamlessly in terms of a customer experience. The food, service and atmosphere are all great. If you're going for breakfast, I'd suggest getting there early. This year I showed up about 20 minutes early and I wasn't the first person there. I did make it into the dinning room on the first round of seating. The line gets long but I'd also say it's worth the wait. They have a great fully covered patio with a fair amount of seating. If you're in town, for whatever reason, I'd strongly suggest swinging by for some food and/or drink.

The cafe/konditori was authentic as thought it had come out of Germany; thus the ambiance was a throw back to being in Germany. The menu said that the biscuits and gravy were the best in Georgia. I have not tried all the biscuits and gravy in Georgia, but these were excellent! The apple fritters were also the best I have had anywhere. Our waitress, Juli, was one of the most attentive of any wait staff anywhere we have been in the U.S.A. If we make it back to Helen, GA, this will be our first stop!

    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!

The menu has lots of different German specialties. We shared the pretzel as a starter and it was very delicious, especially with the beer cheese. As a main, we shared the Bavarian feast, which was more than enough food for two people - I would say it can feed three no problem. I really liked the pork chop, bratwursts, and red cabbage. I also got a side of spatzle because I really enjoy it and it did not disappoint. To end the evening, we got the bananas foster, which came with a table side show to make the dish right in front of you. It was a very nice finish to an incredible meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a nicer dinner and to try German cuisine, which is not very common in the Atlanta area.
