“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!”

“Very cool people, my partner and I love going there! Very tasty food, not expensive, large portions, a lot of variety of drinks and meals. Live music”

“The Band was great ! The food was excellent! And Sarah is the BEST !!!”

“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!”

“Gran ambiente, excelente atención, comida deliciosa, la mejor cerveza, 🍺 no dejes de visitarlos!!! Meseros hablan español.”

“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.”

“Food was amazing. Sarah was awesome!! Definable coming back”
