Old Heidelberg is one of Fort Lauderdale's few remaining historical artifacts dating back to the…read more1970's and under newer ownership since the '00's. The interior brings a lot of charm and nostalgia into a city overtaken by high rises and concrete. We showed up as a party of 6 on a Saturday at 4pm. The main room quickly filled up and FIFA -- France vs. England was on the television. I started out with an Erdinger Wiessbrau while delving further into the menu. They started us out with bread and butter. I went with the German potato soup and Spiessbraten -- pork shoulder stuffed with ground meat, bell peppers, gravy, and dumplings. Others went with the goulash and the Munich lamb shank. I preferred the Goulash out of the various plates. The lamb shank was MASSIVE. That can easily be split by two. We finished off with apple strudel, espresso, and a delicious Irish crème coffee cocktail. This was a great time out with drinks, soccer, delicious German eats, and a warm staff.

Throwback to Germany Circa 2006-2011…read more.. We lived in Germany for 5 years and absolutely loved it, namely Bavaria which imho is the best and prettiest region in the entire country. We spent many vacations in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and gained an affinity for fine Bavarian-style German food... Old Heidelberg brought back the nostalgia and unique flavors that Bavaria has to offer. Our hotel attendant recommended the restaurant as it's a less than a 1/2 mile walk from the hotel... We gladly obliged, as the Yelp reviews were great. Glad we did because Old Heidelberg was excellent. The restaurant looks like the classic Bavarian joint, with all the decor, music, and quintessential German-feel... When you walk in you instantly want a German draft beer (and they have a great selection to choose from); recommend starting with the dark lager and ending with the pils. As for the food, it was some of the best Bavarian we've had in the States. Everything was scratch cooking, huge portions (way too much to eat in one setting), friendly/prompt service, and simply outstanding. My only complaint was Old Heidelberg was astonishingly expensive ($130 for dinner w/ tip, 2 people... 4 beers and two entrees)... Aside from the hefty price, this place is worth the stop when in town. Dave Portnoy 7.9

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.

From flaky treats to hearty breads, everything in the bakery case looked tempting, and the prices for the baked goods themselves were very reasonable. There's also a nice selection of imported German items that are definitely on the pricier side, but that's expected for authentic products brought in from overseas. The pretzel bread was a standout for me -- soft on the inside, perfectly chewy on the outside, and full of that classic Bavarian flavor. They offer plenty of fresh loaves and traditional German pastries, and it's the kind of place where you can easily walk out with more than you planned because everything looks so good. You can eat in, and the space is cozy, but we opted for takeout this time. The counter service was friendly and helpful, even with a steady flow of customers. It feels like a neighborhood spot with a loyal following, and I can see why. If I'm on that side of town again, I'd definitely go back for more fresh bread and pastries.

Six of us went on a rainy Sunday afternoon for an early dinner…read more Parking was plentiful and easy. Even though it is a freestanding restaurant, I am told that it can be difficult to find a spot. The venue offers live music on weekend evenings, but we finished eating before it began and were too tired to stay. The restaurant oozes the Irish pub decor and theme. Our waiter, Jordan, was exceptionally friendly and jovial. And he was a master at suggesting alcoholic beverages, once you let him know your likes. We had 2 orders of Irish potato soup, 2 Shepherd's pies with cheddar cheese, 2 orders of the Guinness beef and mushroom pie, 1 cabbage rolls, and one fish and chips. The soup was filled with bacon bits and creamy and luscious. The Guinness pot pies were a bit small, especially because they were so savory. The accompanying mashed potatoes did not come with gravy and there wasn't enough from the pot pies to cover it. The veggies that came with all the entrees were freshly made and without any seasoning. (But it is better to add salt and pepper than to try and remove it.) The fish was a decent size serving, but again, no real seasoning. Nothing that some salt, pepper, and malt vinegar couldn't rectify. The coating was light and crispy. Our alcoholic beverages (Guinness, wine, and a couple of specialty cocktails) were thirst quenching and satisfying. (I loved my prickly pear margarita.) Dinner for 6, including 2 soups, 6 entrees, 8 drinks, tax, and tip was $300.

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.

Their drinks are also very affordable, which makes you want to stay for longer! They also have a ton of great food choices. I saw options that people were eating that I definitely wanna try next time! However, I was able to try the fried pickles which I thought were delicious as well as the nachos.
