I only ordered a .11l as I didn't want to be carried to the train. I'd eaten a large lunch earlier, so just got the buttered pretzel. It was tasty. My uncle ordered a vegetarian Vetter's Devil and liked it. He got the larger of the 33 and the server said, "don't tell her, but I like you better." Ha! I'll definitely bring friends and family here again.

I ordered the pork shank, since it's a traditional dish I really wanted to try. Unfortunately, mine turned out quite dry, and a few locals in the group confirmed that it can be hit-or-miss. That said, the rest of the experience more than made up for it. The service was good and the staff were great, managing our big group smoothly and keeping things friendly. The real highlight was the beer--absolutely delicious, rich, and exactly what you'd hope for from a Brauhaus. Overall, while the pork shank wasn't my favorite, the combination of great staff, lively atmosphere, and excellent beer makes Vetter's a spot I'd recommend, especially if you're in Heidelberg with friends or colleagues.

The stuffed cabbage in broth was super hot with a tangy but not too tangy broth that was delicious. The fried potatoes were perfectly cooked with slices that were crispy outside, but not inside and seasoned just right. The salad was fresh too.

There was a warm type of sauerkraut that was also wonderful. The host couple were very friendly and though we and everyone sat outside (perfect August weather for anywhere), the inside is totally charming.

Walking in felt like stepping back in time. I doubt much has changed about this place in decades, and that's entirely a compliment. We were seated near a window and the ambiance was everything you'd want, cozy, warm, and genuinely inviting. I loved the feel of it. Our server was very kind. Her English was limited, but she was gracious and patient as I attempted to speak German, and was generous enough to tell me I did well. It added to the charm of the whole experience. Now, the food. The potatoes that came with the schnitzel were the best German potatoes I've ever had. The schnitzel itself was delicious, exactly what you'd hope for. The cheese spaetzle was a highlight as well, rich and satisfying. Plan on sharing it. The one miss was the pizza my sister-in-law ordered, which was fine but felt out of place. Stick to the German classics and you won't be disappointed. Would love to return if I ever make it back to Heidelberg.

Our dinner was really good. We did have reservations. We even enjoyed some non-alcoholic beer. We had apple strudel for dessert, which was also really good.

So we ended up asking the wait staff. We walked through the restaurant with our luggage to the the check in desk. Our room was comfortable and homey. The door required an old fashioned key to open. You can't beat the location being right by the old bridge.

We ordered an array of items from pork and red cabbage to venison. Most of us ordered the Heidelberger beer. No one was smoking, which is a plus in a Heidelberg restaurant. There seems to be smoking everywhere in this town. All of us were amply pleased with the food, service and ambiance. We were seated near the door, but if you get a chance, check out the other rooms. One has a piano-man. Somewhere there are lockers for the steins of Red Ox Regulars. This is a university pub with a 300-year-old history. There were all age groups present (except no kids that I saw). The place is decked out in steins, hunting regalia, and photos of past regulars. In Heidleberg? GO HERE FOR DINNER!

I need to add that Maria was working all of the tables by herself and slayed it! Sudpfanne was so good that we dined here twice in one day, and brought a friend! For lunch Mr. Wonderful enjoyed the sausage plate with potatoes and sauerkraut. I had the fried bread dumplings, mushroom gravy, with sauerkraut. We were happily fulfilled. For dinner Mr. Wonderful ordered the schnitzel, our friend ordered the goulash, and I was still full from lunch - so I only had the potato soup. All three of us left, full and happy. This restaurant is not touristy. They seem to cater to locals and folks who know where to go! They offer a warm, cozy and welcoming environment.
