The Georgia Restaurant With German Roots That Date Back To The 1970s
Visiting a historic German restaurant doesn’t need to be relegated to only the month of October. The Heidelberg in Georgia is a historic restaurant with deep German roots that date back to the 1970s. This Alpine Helen gem is unlike anything else, with live music, schnitzel, bratwurst, and more. Plus, did we mention that it’s three stories of pure German atmosphere and fun?
The Heidelberg in Helen, Georgia, previously known as Old Heidelberg, is a three-story German restaurant that dates back to the 1970s.
What started as Old Heidelberg back in the 1970s has since changed management and even the name, become The Heidelberg, a German restaurant, pub, and music hall.
Visitors to The Heidelberg can enjoy an experience as close as they can get to visiting Germany, with specialized decor, giant beer steins, and wafts of schnitzel from the kitchen.
People come from all over to indulge in authentic German fare. Kick off your meal with Risenbrezel, a giant pretzel with melted herb butter, then move on to the giant plates.
Sausage specialties are very popular here, including pork sausages, brats, knockwurst, and bauerwurst. Pair each with two sides, like Spätzle, or red cabbage, and really level up the meal.
