My wife and I stopped at Heinrich’s German Grill on Friday night. Apparently this place has been hiding right under my nose for close to a year now. My sister had mentioned it to me, and happened to be there with some of her friends as well. The interior is much larger and better lit than it looks from outside. The owner’s/chef’s are right behind the bar cooking up some wonderful home cooked German cuisine. They even hand out some peaches or cream puffs to my sister’s ~4 yr old daughter when she sits at the bar. I had Heinrich’s Superior Schnitzel and my wife had Potato Pancakes covered in goulash. My schnitzel came out wonderful, lightly fried with two eggs, green beans and bacon on top. A number of dishes come with bacon on top so I’ll be back to try those as well. I think my wife did better than me though as the potato pancakes were just unbelievably good. They have five or six good German beers on tap and I didn’t ask if they had anything else. I’m thrilled to find a nice German place in town. Now I can vary my nice bar meals between Heinrich’s and Shakespeare’s.

Jason,
This proves how small the our little section of the world is! I was looking at the local news section on my CNN homepage and saw the German Grill. Then I googled it and found your blog. Good stuff! You mention Shakespeare’s. Where is that and is it a resteraunt? I’m still out at WPI on Fruitville and am awash in OLD technology. It pays the bills though. If you ever get in touch with James Pritchet, tell him hello from me.
Take care and drop a line if you care to.

Shakespeare’s is an English Pub down on Osprey and Siesta, http://tinyurl.com/6pelfj , it’s got a great beer selection, the best burgers in town and is just a great place to go. I try to stop in there once or twice a month. You should check it out.
Thanks for the reply Jason, my wife really likes the British Pub food/atmosphere and I miss going to the Horse and Carrage on Univ/Lockwood so we definitely will go sometime. Take care, Bruce
I love Heinrich’s German Grill! I love the food and everything, for my biggest dream and goal is to move to Germany! The food is so amazing!
