8. Old Bavaria Inn Restaurant

Great Place
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I must say in the years that I've been going to Helen, I've never had a bad experience at Hofer's. The food has always been so wonderful, and the cozy atmosphere always makes me feel like I'm back in Germany! I've always found the service to be great and helpful. Everyone from the waitresses to the cashiers have always been great and helpful. Keep up the good work Hofer's!

Fantastic Restaurant!!!
If you eat in only one place in Helen, this MUST be it. It was not just one of the best German meals I have eaten, but one of the best meals of ANY kind I have eaten! The sauerbraten is absolutely phenomenal!! The owner was gracious and friendly, in true Bavarian fashion. The portions were more than ample and the apple strudel was the perfect ending to a perfect meal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Where should I begin?? The food was a shame, and the service was horrible. We were never offered a beverage refill. The restaurant charges a MANDATORY 20% gratuity on parties of 6 or more. Our party (4 people and a baby), was charge that 20%. The serving portions are ridiculously small (kids size), when you take in considerations what you paid for it (avg plate $18). It was an over all a very bad experience. I recommend trying another restaurant, even street vendors, before trying this one!
