Heidi's German Restaurant

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.

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.

Heidi's is a local German restaurant with great food and service. Everything is prepared with love (or it feels that way). The servers are welcoming and helpful. Large.portioms and great food; you will likely leave full. They only accept reservations for parties of six or more and they fill early (please leave a 2-too for me and my honey though !) My two complaints are it's noisy; it's hard to have a conversation, and the paper napkins are skimpy. Nothing that will keep me away.

Heidi’s German Restaurant is one of those residents you read about that is a “hidden gem” of a town. The service and staff and warm and friendly, the food is always awesome, and in my opinion some of the best German food around. Heidi’s simply does not miss with any of Heidi’s husbands’ recipes. Their desserts are hands down, the best available in town. Black Forrest cake, apple strudel, plumb cake are such a special treat, delicious and like everything else, made from scratch and with love. As a resident of fort myers, if you never been, indulge yourself. You will not be disappointed! If you’re visiting in town and looking for a restaurant that will not disappoint, this is the place for you!

We had jaeger snitzel and a beef special with German potato salad and red cabbage. The jaeger snitzel was one of the best I have ever had. For desert the apfel struedel was so tasty- nice spice and not too sweet. We split the beef dish so this is just half of it.
