Helga's German Restaurant & Deli Reviews List

Helga's German Restaurant & Deli

Established in 1989 as a mother-daughter venture, Helga's German Restaurant and Deli began as a small, four-table restaurant. Today, Helga's has expanded but has not departed from its humble beginnings, gathering a loyal foundation of consistently satisfied customers.
The owners and friendly staff of Helga's aim to provide you with the best German dining and shopping experience at reasonable prices. We encourage you to browse our deli featuring fresh German meats, cheeses and breads, as well as the bakery, which offers an assortment of Chef Stefan's cheesecakes and strudels and Susan's specialty tortes when visiting Helga's.
Helga, Herbert and family maintain a warm and friendly environment where you can sit down to a delicious home-style German meal with family and friends. In the true spirit of a family-owned restaurant, Helga and Herbert are directly involved in ensuring the satisfaction of each and every one of their customers.

"I had not been to Helga's since they moved and I was disappointed. Food was just ok and my friend's dinner was worse.
Potatoes were not typical German but just boiled and lots of salt on them. Schnitzel was overly thin with lots of breading.

"While it was a bit busy when we arrived, it wasn't that busy midway into our meal and after. our waitress was less than attentive, not checking back as well as not appearing so we could pay and we had to seek her out. She was friendly enough, just lackadaisical. We like the food but wouldn't return for it particularly. Portions are generous and nicely presented, as well as good homey German food. Of course, having the beer choices was fun. We probably wouldn't go back, however. We have friends for whom it's their favorite restaurant and the crowds attested to that, so patrons should try it for themselves."

"Really enjoyed my food. My husband, son and his girlfriend went with me for a birthday celebration. Everyone ordered something different and everyone was happy with their meal. A little pricey but quantity was good. Great selection of entrees and we will be going back to try something else from the menu."
