“Huntsville has some great hidden gems and one of those is Hildegard's German Cuisine downtown. This little hole in the wall will blow you away with their rich & authentic flavors made fresh. You can literally hear them pounding out the Schnitzel as you enjoy the orange rolls (you need these in your life). The Sampler was perfect to take a tour of what Hildegard’s does best: Chicken Schnitzel, Polish Sausage and Kraut, and Geschnetzeltes (Hunters Stroganoff). Each one was done perfectly and made you wonder how much you could keep eating. Warm potato salad on the side and I was in heaven. For restaurant week they had the smoked pork chop and WOW was it good. A rich deep smoked flavor that made the fat taste like bacon but left the inside of the chop perfect. Käsespätzle (German Mac-n-cheese) on the side was a perfect way to enjoy an old style dish. The only minor complaint is that their German Chocolate cake just has whipped chocolate icing - no pecan & coconut icing like the real thing.“
“Ol Heidelberg Cafe is a wonderful place to get German food. Our server, Karen, was amazing and made fantastic recommendations. The Weinerschnitzel was great, as was the sausage sampler and potatoes. There were several desserts to choose from but we got the red velvet parfait, which was super tasty! We were just visiting but if we lived in Huntsville, we'd eat here regularly.“
“Located on the corner of a small strip mall, it looks unassuming. There is a small outdoor garden where you can dine if you can stand the Alabama heat! Upon entering, we were immediately greeted. They were not empty but not so full I needed a reservation. We were seated in a window seat. By the time we left, nearly every table was full. Katie was our server. She was attentive and friendly. She offered her opinion when we asked. The food was great! You can’t leave hungry. I wanted the homemade dessert of which they had plenty made on site but I was so full! I had the Berlin chicken with apples and onions and Swiss. My husband had the house special. We both took away boxes. The food quality was great! The inside atmosphere was painted my sky and quaint even if views were of parking lot. We will return and you should go!“
