Reviews for Bodensee in Helen, GA
If it was possible, I would give this restaurant 10 out of 5 stars! This restaurant is truly a gem in Helen, GA and a MUST DO!!... The service was wonderful, our waiter Elliot gave us wonderful recommendations and made sure we had a great experience. Trulyeveryone at this establishment was fantastic. And don?t even get me started on the food! You can tell there is a lot of time andeffort put into every dish. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! The owner/Master Chef of the restaurant was very kindand is passionate about what he does. Also the music was so fun and light-hearted. Daniel was playing that evening and he addeda little bit of magic to the already wonderful atmosphere. All in all, this restaurant will hold a special place in our heartsand if you are in Helen, you HAVE to come here! :) Read more
You know when you have a meal that takes you back to your childhood and makes you want to cry? This is the most authentic German... food in Helen and reminds me of when my late Omi used to cook. I come here every visit and it?s always delicious with greatservice. Our server James P was exceptional tonight. Highly recommend! Read more
This is a real deal, small town, family owned, authentic German restaurant with one of the best French Onion soups I?ve ever... tasted! We came in with a party of 15 with no notice and the owner opened up the second dining room for us instead of having uswait. She took our drink order and turned on some music for us. We were also helped by multiple other staff members in additionto our server. The food was delicious! After the meal the owner gave all the kids in our party a little surprise and insisted afew of us adults have an after meal toast. This was the best hospitality experience I?ve had in many years. You?re doingyourself a disservice if you visit Helen and don?t eat here. Read more
Very nice server. Outside and inside seating. Many tables outside, covered. Food was pretty good overall for this town. Juicy... sausage. Beef w/ horseradish sauce was great. Fries were great. Great beer! Read more
This place is outstanding. The meat is very rich, and you'll want to share the sampler plate rather than have one yourself. The... potato pancakes are super well done, with a nice crisp but creamy middle. Read more
Good food. Pretzel served with cold beer cheese, but was good. Had the German sampler for two, which was fair. Nothing to rave... about, but it was good. We did not eat the two slabs of beef, but the schnitzel and smoked pork chops were above therest. Service was fast and great, especially for a busy Saturday night. Read more
Brought the family down to Helen for Christmas lights and shopping. The first 2 store owners I asked about food recommendations... said ?Bodensee!?, so we had to give it a shot. When we got there the line was out the door. Good sign number 1. Despite shortstaffing, which has become commonplace, the staff is very efficient in moving food and customers. I had the house sampler (Ithink it was called. 2 sausages and smoked pork chop with potato salad and sauerkraut.) The wife had goulash and the shrimpscampi. All the food was amazing! Customer service was perfect. A few ladies on staff even gave my son a toy and some candy,which made his and our night. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great place to eat! Read more
Hands down one of the best meals I have ever ate. All of our food was outstanding. Heather C. was also one of if not the best... server we have ever experienced. She was funny, knowledgeable and made sure we had the best experience possible. Highlyrecommend this place as it is now our favorite spot in Helen. Read more
