We have the best time when we go to Himmels. It was my fiancés first date back in 2020 and we have continued to bring friends and family back over the last 6 years. I have nothing but great things to say about the food, service, and vibes. The band and accordion on Friday and Saturdays is a perfect touch!!! We love himmels!!!!

The food here is INCREDIBLE. Their authentic, flavorful, family recipes are worth every penny. Their prices are a bit high at first glance but the portions make it well worth it. The owners are extremely friendly and welcoming. The pretzel bread is made in house and is delicious! It does take time to make food that good, so give yourself time to enjoy it!

Best and most authentic Wiener schnitzel in all of Chicagoland. So delicious. The obadtze and pretzel bread are also great. Servers are lovely and the vibe is great - there is often a live band playing!

My wife and I visited Himmel's for the first time recently and really enjoyed the experience. The food is great and the owners and our waitress Sarah were so kind and welcoming. The beer selection isn't large, but honestly, sometimes we prefer that, especially with a good selection of authentic German beers and some others on tap. I can see a lot of people being regulars here. We will definitely be coming back when we're in the area again.

such a great find! we were a large group visiting from out of town and were looking forward to some hearty food. we certainly got that but we also loved the live music, the German beer, and the cozy atmosphere. 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back!
