The Heidelberg in Columbia: A Culinary Journey in the Heart of CampusMy recent visit to The Heidelberg in Columbia, Missouri, offered a mixed experience that unfolded into a delightful culinary journey. Walking in, the initial welcome was somewhat lacking, with no greetings at the door, and the host's approach was a bit unconventional, pointing to a table in the vast room.However, once settled, the service took a turn for the better. Our waitress provided excellent recommendations, guiding us through a menu filled with tempting options. I decided to try the French dip with Cajun fries, a truly amazing choice. The au jus accompanying the French dip added a burst of flavor that enhanced the overall taste. The Frisco burger, paired with Cajun fries, was equally delightful, and the drink served went down smooth, contributing to the enjoyable experience.While the service and flavors impressed, the challenge lay in street parking, as no parking lot was readily apparent. Located in the heart of the University of Missouri's campus, The Heidelberg offers a unique blend of campus charm and culinary excellence.If you're willing to venture through the initial entry, The Heidelberg promises a rewarding dining experience with a menu that satisfies both taste buds and curiosity.

Terrible food. Sent potato skins back once. Cold and inedible. French dip not good either.

It's been years since we've been to this MU Institution. So happy to see it was still open. However, I wish I just had hung into the fond memories. Update on food. Patty melt was very disappointing. The thinnest cheese possible and the meat did not taste good at all. The German potato salad was still wonderful. Now let's talk restrooms and general cleanliness. Oh how I wish I could. It was disgusting through and through. And this is just the start. The floors throughout are a sticky mess.

A true Columbia staple spot. Food is always great. I will say that the food is a tad bit pricey in my opinion. Don't expect too much from the place from an ambiance stand point. Nothing too spectacular plus at times it can get a bit The servers are always incredibly polite. I got the veggie burger which was incredible per usual. An ode to old faithful. Looking forward to coming back!

This is a basic college bar/restaurant. Nothing special. Food isn't bad. The service has been better than average. They have good drink specials and great happy hour. Also a wide variety of beers.- Chicken tenders (3.5/5): very basic but still pretty good. - Sweet potato fries (2/5): not very tasty, tasted frozen. Maybe they weren't cooked right but these were not good.- Buffalo chicken dip (4/5): the best appetizer we've had there. Buffalo is always yummy and this one tastes just like the Trader Joe's version which is delicious.Probably would come back here, but mainly for the happy hour!

This place is a tale of two stories and here's why: A. The German related dish of the wurst plate - has a few homemade items which had it being great (as German food goes). The bratwurst and knackwurst were made in a small town outside of Columbia. The Kraut is also being made by someone...and it was darn good too. And the German potato salad - has a great blend of apple cider vinegar, sugar and bacon....that this side dish was pretty great. My 4 stars is for this dish only. B. Fish and chips. Pre-fab quick fried stuff. That not only is not something to "write home about".....but is a plate to avoid. If you're craving fish...again, avoid the disappointment of this low-end pre-fab item. C. Country Fried Steak dinner. I didn't personally eat, but my son will also know what is a good representation of a country fried steak. "It was nothing" I believe was the response. Did appear to be some powder/bag gravy. Mashed potatoes were reasonable....but again...topped with gravy which is clearly lackluster. The place has been around for 50+ years. The German food I had was quite good. And though the burgers and such may be good....when I see the lower end Cisco type products being used for other dishes...I don't hold my breath on the other items being special. But to hang out and drink some beers...sure...this place would always been good for just that too....

One of my Favorite restaurants to visit when I'm in Columbia. The sweet potato fries are a MUST!!! (I normally don't even like sweet potatoes but their fries are just amazing.)

Food was delicious! My husband and I went with my mother in law, brother in law and friends last Saturday night around 5 PM and the place was packed! So loud I could barely hear myself think!But the food was awesome. Definitely will come back for those happy hour deals as well!

This place is an old faithful. It is tucked into downtown Columbia amongst many of the other staple restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and other mom and pop store friends. It has been around for years and is in walking distance from some of the campus buildings like the law school. The drinks here have a strong pour for the dollar value and you can expect your normal run-of-the-mill bar food, but it is the nostalgia that you'll be coming back for!

So disappointed. Arby's French Dip is far better and so is the service. Was really looking forward to dinner in my favorite restaurant on a visit back home. Wasn't the same and, sadly, I won't be back.
