Great German Food, large portions and all for a fair price.Service was great too, not a long wait at all. Beer was good too. Friday nights they sometimes have a band. Last time I was there the music was great.
I went 3 times on my recent visit to Chicago Bavarian deliciousness! Rahm schnitzel excellent, pretzel bread addictive. Friendly staff, cozy decor. Wish they had better hours.
Amazing German food. Loved the sauerkraut, probably the best I've ever had. Service was exceptional. Ambiance is fun, casual place with some live music and dancing. Definitely recommend.
Wow! We are visiting from out of town and had a blast! Service was lovely, Rahm schnitzel was so good! Lynn for the win!! If we lived here we would be back every week!
This place is the best - delicious food and drinks - cozy, welcoming, fun atmosphere - and staff that makes you feel part of the family immediately!! We celebrated my step dads 63rd party here and by the end of the night he was best friends with 2 70 year old regulars at the bar and they exchanged numbers. The food - GREAT - I was nervous going to a german restaurant as a vegetarian but the mushroom stew was to die for. So fricken good. Like heaven on my tongue. My brother got the chicken parm - could have been enough food for 4 people HUGE. My little 10 year old sister got the kids schnitzel and loved it - she ate it in 5 minutes! We all loved our beers. Combine that with some live german musicians playing acordians and a 85 year old couple dancing to it sweetly and I could not be happier.
Himmel's is one of the few surviving German restaurants in Chicago's Lincoln Square neighborhood. A go-to establishment that people flock to for authentic German cuisine. - You'll find it hard not to fill up on their house made pretzel bread - One of the only places to make traditional liver dumpling soup. It tastes like a combination of a meatball and matzoh ball in a very comforting flavorful broth. - Any dish that comes with their housemade spatzel and red cabbage doesn't disappoint! Pork medallions are one of the best dishes! That sauce is to die for! Live music most nights too! Only detriment is the kitchen and service can be a bit slow. So as long as you're not in a rush and you like the people you're dining with, it's a pretty good night.
Cozy atmosphere with a German flair; delicious pretzel bread and authentic German cuisine. If you're a fan of spatzle, sausages, schnitzel, cabbage, etc. , this place will hit the spot!
The last time I had really good German food was when I was in Ohio. I have to say Himmel's was spot on. The food was super fresh and well worth the wait. I will recommend the pizza rustica and the champignon rahm schnitzel! And the waiter we had recommended dishes and was very friendly to my friend and I! I will defiantly be coming back again. And on the weekend they have fresh pretzel bread for customers and live music!
