We had no wait and were seated promptly. Our waiter, Johnny, was wonderful--friendly, knowledgeable, and with recommendations. He kept my tea and lemonade refilled without me ever having to ask. We all ordered schnitzel, each with a different pairing: fries, an arugula and goat cheese salad, or a Caesar salad. One friend also had a bowl of mushroom and Brie soup, and another ordered a side Caesar. Everything was fantastic. The salads were fresh and flavorful, and the schnitzel was excellent. The mushroom gravy that came with the schnitzel had a subtle wine flavor--so good that I already know I'll be ordering it again next time.

Unfortunately, the location is hidden deep within a popular strip mall but once found you will feel pleasantly transported to another Country.

I hate giving this review because I used to eat from here often when I lived in Hialeah.... but the…read morepretzels my family and I had this past weekend were terrible. When I came by this past Saturday to Westland Mall I was craving the soft pretzel.... doughy, tasty, salty goodness.... sadly it didn't live up to my expectations. We ordered three soft salted butter pretzels....so first things first....no salt....kinda defeats the purpose of the pretzel. How can you have no salt on a pretzel? Secondly it was so greasy that it turned the bag clear and it just didn't taste good. It's sad because like I said it used to be good.

Growing up in Hialeah, going to Westland Mall was a must…read more Consequently my mother would drag me occasionally, and one day, we discovered the Pretzel Twister. I believe I was a teenager back then. Anyhow, my mother and I used to love being fat little pigs here. That, fortunately, eventually changed. I cannot imagine eating these pretzels for life. That being said, I hadn't had a pretzel from here in over six years. I broke this streak last week and the trauma still sits with me. While delicious, the salty and glazed pretzel I ordered gave me a ridiculous sugar rush that made me crash. Thank goodness I had the common sense to order a bottle of water because I may not be here to tell the tale otherwise. Needless to say, coming here, the questions begs: is it worth it? Well, my dear, that depends on whether you have some Alka-Seltzer on you. Delicious, yes, but potentially deadly.

First time on Father's Day for lunch and we had a great experience!…read more The place is small, clean, and cozy. A fun casual atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful. They were super kind with my toddler and amicable with us. The food was delicious. We ordered the sausage sampler with potato salad and also tried the schnitzel sandwich. I was surprised by the portions and the quality of the bread and sauerkraut. So good that we ordered another portion of sauerkraut! Fries came out hot and crispy. We honestly enjoyed all the food. The beers were cold, but my only complaint is that they were out of a few of the draft options. I understand it's Sunday, but that was a bit of a negative. However, we got a draft beer and a bottled beer, and both were fantastic. Parking could be challenging on busy days, but on this occasion we had easy free street parking. Free is very rare thing in Miami. They have happy hour deals every day. I believe around 3 PM. I need to come back to check that out. I saw a sign for Tuesday all-day happy hour and $5 brats. That's a deal! Overall, a great German restaurant with delicious food, friendly staff, cold beer, TV screens for sports and homey ambiance.

I asked for a sample of a dark beer and he handed me a full pint glass, then used the same glass for the actual pour. A little odd, a little funny, but somehow it fits the vibe here. It's not corporate, not scripted just a real local bar doing things their own way. The energy easy, and the beer solid. If you're looking for a polished taproom, this isn't it. But if you want a laid back spot with character and no pretense, Mack House has its own charm.

I ate here about 45 minutes ago, and I'm still not entirely sure how to describe this place…read more Let's start with this: Old Heidelberg is not for the squeamish. When you walk in, you're greeted by the scent of carpet that has absorbed one too many spilled beers over the past 19 years. I Googled what old beer smells like, and apparently decaying yeast has a "slightly funky odor that many compare to old gym clothes." Yep. That's about right. But before you cross this place off your list, please read on. After all, once you know what the smell is, it isn't that bad anymore...right? When I travel for work, I always try to eat somewhere I probably couldn't get away with if my family were with me. Old Heidelberg fit that bill perfectly. There isn't much on the menu that I can imagine a picky eater looking at and saying, "You know what? That looks safe." So naturally, I went in. Once seated, I discovered the beer sizes: small, medium, 1 liter...and 2 LITERS. Nearly 68 ounces of beer. I briefly considered ordering one simply because I wanted to see what 2 liters of beer looked like sitting in front of one person. Then common sense kicked in and I realized there was absolutely no way I could drink it all. So, in the interest of minimizing waste and maintaining my ability to function as an adult, I ordered something smaller. A few minutes later, my appropriately German-themed waitress returned with my beer...in a glass boot. Okay, Old Heidelberg. You have my attention. Along with it came a bowl of potato soup. Within a few spoonfuls, the flavor was so good that I had completely forgotten every concern I'd had walking through the door. The carpet? Forgotten. The smell? Ancient history. Any lingering questions about whether I had made a terrible decision? Gone. I was officially on board with Old Heidelberg. That was, of course, until my entrée arrived. I ordered the pork shank after seeing a picture of it in another review. What came out was significantly larger than I had anticipated. I have no idea how much this thing weighed, but let's just say it was LARGE--like something you'd expect to see being eaten at a medieval banquet. Again, not for the squeamish. The shank arrived with the skin still on it, roasted extremely crispy. I had no idea whether I was supposed to eat the outside. Even after closer inspection revealed that there was, in fact, still some porcine hair attached to the skin, I considered trying it anyway. Ultimately, I decided against it, mostly out of fear of looking stupid in front of everyone. Of course, there really wasn't anyone there to judge me except the waitress and her coworkers. Still. I had standards. So I pushed the skin--and its remaining evidence of a previous owner--aside and dug into the meat underneath. And this is where things got awesome. What was underneath was, without exaggeration, one of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. I don't mean one of the best pork dishes. I don't mean one of the best German dishes. I mean one of the best foods I have ever eaten. Period. The pork was unbelievably tender, juicy, flavorful and fall-apart delicious. The kind of food that makes you stop chewing for a second and reconsider everything you thought you knew about pork. If the appearance initially repels you, the flavor will bring you right back. So naturally, I attempted to eat the entire thing. I don't think I succeeded, based largely on the waitress's reaction when I told her I was finished. But I feel confident I ate everything I reasonably should have, followed by approximately 25% more. By the time I stood up, I genuinely wasn't sure I could make the 10-minute walk back to where I was staying--and just to be clear, this was entirely a pork-related mobility issue, not a beer-related one. I had simply consumed an amount of food that my body was not designed to transport on foot. So how do I rate Old Heidelberg? Five stars. For sure. The service was good. The beer came in a boot. The potato soup made me forget why I had been concerned in the first place. And the pork shank was genuinely one of the best things I have ever eaten. Does the carpet smell like it has spent the better part of two decades soaking up German beer? Yes. Did my dinner look slightly terrifying when it arrived? Absolutely. Do I care after eating that meal? Not even a little bit. The service was good, the food was incredible, and, well... who cares about the rest?
