| - Authentic, delicious German food, definitely worth going off the beaten track for! We had a coupon for 1/2 off a second dinner, but it turned out that on Monday, they have select meals (mostly pork dishes) buy one, get one free!! My husband and I ordered the Oktoberfest meal (bratwurst and breaded pork, spaetzle, and red cabbage) and the pork schnitzel (breaded) with mushrooms in a wine sauce (Delish!!), and BOY did we get a lot of food! We even ate it for lunch the next day because it was so much food!
Cafe Heidelberg requires a keen eye to spot it (it is across a parking lot and kind of behind another building) but it has a big blue awning with big letters so we found it okay. They were nice enough to serve us even though we came 15 minutes before "closing" - they serve until 8pm, then lock the doors, so it's best to get there 7:30 or earlier. They have a market in the front, but in the back they have charming little wooden booths and German memorabilia all over the walls.
Our food came pretty quickly, and it was the best German meal I've had in a restaurant, and it's definitely the best German food in Vegas. The staff was very nice, and we spoke for quite a while to our server about the shortage of German restaurants in Nevada and California.
I loved their red cabbage... and the mushroom-covered schnitzel was savory... I hope to go back and try their sauerbraten. I would have if they hadn't had the 2-for-1 deal on their pork dishes. I also want to try their sauerkraut. Gives me a reason to go back!
You can look for the 1/2 off second entree coupon online, or you can go on Mondays to get the 2-for-1 deal, or there's also a feast for 2 for $29.95 -- or just go anytime if price isn't a big deal. Entrees all run about $26 but they are enough food for 2 meals!
Overall - great, authentic, hearty food, save a little dough rather than eating at the pricey hotel restaurants on the strip!
