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. The only decor missing are animal (deer or moose) wall effigies. There is a wide selection of bavarian apps and entrees available. I ordered their huge pretzel which was excellent. However, my group mainly came to drink and party late night. Our boomerang shows the wide variety of liquids available each prepared and served in style.

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?

A Hidden Gem for German Cuisine in Ft. Lauderdale!…read more If you're craving authentic German food and a stellar beer selection, this place is a must-visit. The beer list is extensive, especially the German options--plenty of Hefeweizens that were absolutely delightful. What really made the night special was the staff. Both our server and the host were incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. Amy, in particular, stood out--she clearly knows the menu inside and out, and her recommendations were spot-on. You can tell she's tried everything and genuinely wants guests to enjoy their meal. Highly recommend the Jaeger schnitzel and the goulash soup. I didn't know what goulash was at first, but it turned out to be a rich, flavorful broth with tender meat and vegetables--comforting and delicious. The lobster bisque was also good, but the goulash won me over. Can't wait to come back.

First of all parking wasn't easy but we managed a spot. Once we walked in i was transported Ireland literally. From the decor to the furniture and the dim lighting you get all the pubs feel. There was live music which we loved because we are suckers for live music and drinks. I ordered The Wicklow Wolfhound, very refreshing drink. I loved the rosemary garnish. As for main course i decided on a classic Fish & Chips. The fish was massive! I had to take the rest home i couldn't finish it. It was very good and crispy which is hard to find sometimes. For desert Ofcourse i had to order an Irish coffee. It was so creamy and strong... could wake the dead i say. The staff was very sweet and attentive. Officially added to my favorite spots to eat.

After a major disappointment finding out that Gabose Pocha was closed for renovations, we ended up…read moreat this Irish pub I used to visit years ago. When we first pulled up, the parking lot was nearly empty, and inside there were only a few people scattered around. My companion went straight to the restroom, so I found a seat at the bar. The first thing we were told was that the kitchen was already closed even though it was only 9 PM which was a bit disappointing since I was hungry. Since it's an Irish pub, they mainly serve beer and wine, so I ordered a Guinness followed by a light beer. Despite the slow start, the night turned out to be unexpectedly enjoyable. We ended up meeting some wonderful people from Italy, Poland, and Turkey. It was especially nice connecting with the gentleman from Turkey, as I had traveled there last year, and we had a great conversation about that experience. The same went for the gentleman from Italy. It was refreshing and easy to talk to everyone. Even after closing, we stayed outside for a while continuing our conversations. The atmosphere inside the pub had a classic Irish feel, very reminiscent of my time in Ireland years ago, with signed celebrity photos decorating the walls adding to its charm. Also money from various countries. The lady behind the bar was extremely friendly and attentive throughout the night, constantly checking in and making sure we were taken care of. It's been years since I last visited, but after this experience, I'll definitely be going back soon.

It's tucked away in the inner corner of a strip mall, but it is very popular and you better have reservations on weekends. Our Server, Daniil, did an outstanding job with recommendations, hospitality, and professionalism. I ordered all appetizers and they were great choices: Roasted Cauliflower, Brussel Sprouts, and Grilled Artichokes were delicious. Each were nicely presented and going between all three provided different pleasant textures and freshness with every bite. The next selection was the Grilled Branzino. A piece of Branzino that was delectable, didn't require a knife, and the added diced tomatoes and cauliflower just made this dish memorable. The final item was the Penne Pasta. Al dente, had the perfect amount of tomatoes and cheese, and the portion was large. We finished the meal with scoops of vanilla gelato and it was the perfect cap to a delightful meal at a recommended restaurant.
