Naturally, sharing the same name with the establishment, I had to give it a try! It's a small cafe/restaurant located above one of the souvenir shops in the heart of Helen. I ordered the pierogis, sausage and the Jäger schnitzel, which were all made to order. You can hear the chef pounding the pork in the kitchen so it doesn't get fresher than that! Everything was delicious, fresh and appropriately portioned. When the owner found out my name was Heidi, he gave me a free beer, which was very nice of him. We spoke to the owner (who is also the chef) who gave us a background on where's from and how he came to plant roots in this adorable German town. 5 stars all around!

Friendly service. Tasty food and they accommodated my request regarding a change up from the menu description for my food. Hubby had a draft pull of Spaten and we appreciated the warmth inside the restaurant on a cold afternoon. On the down side, the bathroom needs attention. A little cleanup in there and a new toilet seat that isn't broken would be great!!

Everytime I'm in Helen I have to stop here! It's a great little spot. I love the pierogis and sourkraut as well as the potato salad. The view is great and they have a good selection of German beers. The cook is German/Polish and super friendly. Service is great!

The food and the staff are amazing. You can taste the freshness in the food. It's a nice little spot above Helen Square.

While visiting Helen, GA, we stopped in here for lunch. Decided to opt for their outdoor dining upstairs which is the key move. Great for people watching and the ambiance. Does feel like you've been transported to Germany. Started with the pretzel, which is a must, then to the schnitzel and Ruben as our mains. Schnitzel was kinda okay but the Ruben was the star. So flavorful! Service was decent. We had a different server from the others around us and felt they were getting more attention, specifically because we didn't get our beers until after our mains arrived and then felt she wanted to flip the table quick. Still would visit again.

We tried Heidi House last night when we were in town to see the Christmas lights of Helen. Heidi House had slightly higher ratings on Yelp and Google than other German food restaurants. For those in a hurry, I rated Heidihouse a 4 because the ambiance and bathroom are not great. But, the food was amazing. The food gets a 5+, the service a 4.5 and the ambiance a 3. It all adds up to a 4.5 but Yelp only allows one digit ratings. Details of the visit follow. Even though they have fewer reviews , we gave them a shot because I always balance quantity with quality. It was worth the risk. The restaurant is upstairs so you have to climb a few stairs and upon entrance, the ambiance is very underwhelming. But, the food reviews were great so we stayed. I ordered the Jagerschnizel. It was awesome. The breading was flavorful and crispy and the pasta and mushroom gravy elevated the flavor another notch. It is possible Heidi Houses Jagerschnitzel is the best in Helen, maybe in Georgia. My wife had the dumplings with mushroom gravy, called PYZY, which is Polish. She loved it. All in all, it was a good experience with excellent tasting food and hospitable service. 4.5

Hidden gem! Stumbled across this place during Oktoberfest. It was upstairs on Main Street by a very overcrowded Biergarten. Food was excellent. Pierogi had great flavor- soft and creamy but not too greasy. Kielbasa packed flavor, and the kraut and cabbage was crunch with great acidity. Seating options included tables and bar seating. The view was great from the bar. Our host made easy conversation and recommended lunch selections. Soon they plan to have beer and wine available again, hope that works out. Until we return, I'm on the hunt for some of the dark beer mustard.

Amazing!! Enjoyable!! Flavorful!! Memorable!! I've been to Germany and can confirm, this is real German food. It tastes just like what I had there! The staff is friendly and attentive. Food is amazing. The wait time may be a bit depending when you come, but it is 1000% worth the wait! You will not be disappointed. Try for yourself!
