Heidis German Restaurant - Fort Myers (FL)

5 /5 thyblacksmith: Authentic German food by authentic Germans. Everything tasted great. Nice selection of German beers. Immersive atmosphere, from the decor to the German radio music. Friendly staff. I recommend trying their German potato salad. It’s like a vinegary mashed potato twist on regular potato salad, with a dash of chives. The liver dumping soup is quite unique. The broth is salty and savory, and it doesn’t have an overpowering liver taste. You can’t go wrong with the Mixed Sausage Plate or the Bavarian Plate; pairs well sauerkraut as one of the two sides. Their desserts are absolutely stellar. The cheesecake is light and fluffy. The plumb slice with butter crumbles is a perfect balance of bright, fresh plum cutting through the rich taste of butter.

5 /5 Mr. Van: Hidden gem in Fort Myer, authentic German restaurant. Absolutely in shock how much this restaurant reminded me of my grandmother‘s cooking. the schnitzel sauerkraut and brussels sprouts smell and tasted like it came right out of my grandma’s kitchen fresh off the stove and oven. If you enjoy authentic German food and support, small businesses and family owned businesses. This is a place you need to visit. Thank you to the restaurant owners for my trip down memory Lane through food.

5 /5 Garrett Krause: What can I say about this place to do it justice? First off, when you call a German restaurant and the person who answers the phone has a German accent... you know its going to be an authentic experience!! Heidi, the owner of the restaurant, greeted us at the door and was also our server. The place is small, but cozy and the staff friendly. We started off with waters and a pretzel. The pretzel was perfect, slightly salted, and came with a side of warm beer cheese. For dinner I wanted the Sauerbraten meal, but Heidi talked me out of it! Instead, she suggested I get the Bavarian Plate, as it has the Sauerbraten plus pork and a nuernberger bratwurst-which is their homemade brat made using a traditional nuernberg recipe. I chose spaetzel and red cabbage as my sides. I started with the Liver dumpling soup. It was the most flavorful soup Ive ever tasted, the broth was a deep rich beef base and the dumpling was delicious, a perfect size. There were 4 of us that ordered, and Heidi made sure that we got what we wanted, with some really good suggestions sprinkled in. The food came out within 15 minutes of ordering, and to be fair, I would have easily waited an hour for how good it was! I dont think any of us spoke much until we were done eating it was that yummy. There were some homemade desserts and I really wanted the apple streudel but I was just too full! We plan on returning soon to get the pork shank. The pork shank you have to order 3 days in advance- cant wait! Until then, Prost!

5 /5 Angelika Merkle-Kempf: Delicious authentic German food! The Sauerbraten was awesome and the pretzel and potato pan cakes too. Had to eat all :). If you love German southern food this is the place to go. Friendly staff and very welcoming atmosphere with great service and prices are reasonable!
