Definitely has a good selection of German foods. Not always cooked the same but washes the Bier down well.

The food is great! Not to talk about all the fun drinking beer out of a boot! Must try the Pork Shank!

do not venture here. the service is non existent- you cant get water without asking 3 times that is if you can find the waitress who calls herself the "boss" and does whatever and whenever she wants. the elderly owner who is hard of hearing had to do whatever she wouldnt even though thre was only one other couple eating at the time. the food is outrageously expensive compared to other similar genre food and the side order portions are embarassinngly small. be careful not to ask for anything ectra like gravy for a schnitzel. they add &2.50 extra for a tablespoon portion but dont advise you beforehand of the extra charge. the waitress, who i learned has been there forever, is the most arrogant, rudest and und helpful i have experienced in 40 years of dining out- that is when you can locate her. forget dessert. theprices are exhoorbitant. $10.50 for two palacinta.i guess they feel that anyone who comes there has to pay for the noticable lack of business due to the second avenue subway construction.

It's the last surviving German restaurant in what used to be a very German neighborhood. The food is truly excellent (try the potato pancakes) and the atmosphere is wonderful.

If you're looking for a well-prepared, thoughtfully executed meal, go elsewhere. Have to catch a show/movie/be someplace at a specific time? This ain't the place. If you're looking for a cozy, casual place to sit back and unwind with friends over hearty food and some of Germany's finest exports, then Heidelberg is the best you'll do in Manhattan. In the dozen or so times I've been there, the service has been all over the spectrum, from lazy and rude to congenial and prompt. The food is basic German comfort food, sometimes really good, sometimes merely adequate. The real charm lies in the atmosphere - it's a room straight out of a small Bavarian village minus the beer signs. Their selection of German beer is great, and the friendly regulars, casual atmosphere, and close quarters make for a great place to forget about the outside world.

German in New York, been in the states for 7 years now, tried out Heidelberg with my Brazilian girlfriend for the first time today. Just a great choice. Very authentic German food, rivaling my grandmother's dishes. My girlfriend loved the Jaegerschnitzel. And better beer selection on draft than any of the other German places I've been to in the city. Otherworldly decoration and atmosphere, throws you right back into the Black Forest. Definitely will take people there a lot more often from now on.

Went last night to celebrate a birthday with a party of 6 - we were seated in the garden and ordered two boots - one came in 10 mins - one still hadn't come after half an hour so I had to walk upstairs and ask where the hell it was. Our two other friends came and waited to order, waited another half hour for a boot and we never got a diet coke (after 45 mins). No food ordered yet mind you after an hour and 10 mins...Had to ask for a manager who had all sorts of excuses so my husband started to berate her in German which seemed to be very effective. Our missing coke and food came right away and the waitress seemed to have a clue again...Until we finished and never got to order another beer again. We gave up and went to drink beers on our patio at home. It really isn't worth it. Any other German place in the city is so much more worth it than this one due to the service.
