“Best and most authentic Wiener schnitzel in all of Chicagoland.”

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.”

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.

“The last time I had really good German food was when I was in Ohio.”

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!

Enjoyed the Sauerbraten was one of the best I have had and don't forget to have the hot apple strudel which had some of the best whipped cream I have ever had!

“Everything here was excellent.”

Everything here was excellent. The authentic German decor and atmosphere was great. Live music was perfect with the selection just loud enough but perfect for conversation. German food was excellent and large portions. The Wurst Platter had excellent kassler chop that was very tender, brat, spaetzle and sauerkraut superb. My husband had the Weiner Schnitzel which was as good as the best restaurants in Germany. My girlfriend had the Sauerbraten, which she loved and the red cabbage which was super. We highly recommend this restaurant.

“Omg this place is so good!!”

Omg this place is so good!!! the staffs are very friendly and attentive. It was my first time there so I ordered the 2 things I really wanted to try: pizza and pork shank. the pizza is thin crust and cripy but gooey with cheese. sauce is flavorful and just the right amount. if you are eating alone it's the perfect portion. if you are sharing it's just enough so everyone can try it and something else on the menu. the pork shank, if you have not tried it, you must try it! it's absolutely tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. the best part—it peels right off the bone!!!! I was expecting a bit struggle but no, it was so easy to peel off, plus, if you ever watch anime, and see those big piece of meat chunks 🍖 yeas this will make you feel like you checked an item off your bucket list lol it comes with pickled cabbage which was really refreshing paired with mushroom gravy and dumplings, which is small round shaped and has a yam texture to it. it's really good. eating both definitely is a bit much for 1 person, maybe I'm just getting old 😂 they also have a mother's day buffet. just a wonderful establishment through and out.
