What Ron G doesn't like about The Olde Heidelberg Restaurant Tavern & Motel:
Went here based on it always seemimg busy, so thought we 'd give it a try. Bad idea. I don 't know why it 's always busy, but it 's not because of the food. I had the 'schnitzel '. Bad idea. Good schnitzel needs to be homemade, freshly breaded and cooked. This was a preformed patty, cooked from frozen probably a schneiders special you get at Food Basics. The coleslaw was fine....the mashed potatoes were good at least... View all feedback. What cmthboo likes about The Olde Heidelberg Restaurant Tavern & Motel:
I bought a bird at the local store in town and decided to stop in AND WOW! I had the chicken! I didn't speak the whole meal! It was one of my top 3 for the BEST MEALS I HAVE EVER HAD! The waitress was so kind and accommodating! I can't wait to go back next week! Love the old school vibes! View all feedback.
