Had to stop yesterday after my truck overheated waiting in traffic. I live a few blocks from here and I’m sad this is the first time I’ve stopped! What a great place! Wonderful beer selection that I have not found anywhere in FL. Dunkel on tap, say no more! What a treat! Super clean, great menu and cold beer.

Wow. Food is amazing. Never really tried German good, but I loved Heidi's. Atmosphere is clean and nice. I'd recommend the place to anyone looking for a hardy meal.
Excellent German food,moderately priced and friendly service near the beach. Excellent!
Just amazing eggs Benedict
Excellent food and service. Elegant ambience that sets itself apart from the kitschy island bars and restaurants, yet affordable, delicious German cuisine. Highly recommended.
What a fantastic time we had! We were greeted with smiles and seated promptly. Our beer order was taken quickly and was sipping on my favorite hefeweizen beer! The food was presented
nicely , great service, beer, food was authentic and amazing! It was was a wonderful dining experience! Highly recommend Heidi's German Restaurant! We will be back very soon!
Delicious German cuisine! Get here early, or else this place fills up because it's so good. Heidi was our waitress and very friendly and accommodating! When we visit the Cape Coral area again, we will definitely be back.
We pre-ordered the Schweinehaxen, a special German roasted pork shank. You should order at least 3 Days ahead. The portion was huge. It was prepared perfectly and the skin was so crispy.
The service was great. Heidi was taking very well care of us.
The timing was great. No wait even though the place was quite busy.
Chef Axel came out at the end and made sure we had enough food.
It is a great restaurant. I can only recommend it.
Beyond amazing experience. Heidi was so incredibly helpful to my indecisive fiancé and I. All of her menu recommendations were AMAZING. We greatly enjoyed the french onion soup, jaeger Schnitzel (side of spaetzle and red cabbage), and the Black Forest dessert. Truly phenomenal German food. We sat on the back patio during a light rain and it was such a wonderful atmosphere. Maybe most spectacular of all was Heidi’s service. She treated us as family and we felt instantly at home. This is now our favorite restaurant in Fort Myers!
Heidi's was a victim of Hurricane Ian. A ten foot water surge destroyed the businesses on Fort Myers Beach. Heidi's came back "Florida Strong" a little more inland.
The German food and service are great!
My favorite is Schnitzel with brown gravy (there is also mushroom, red, etc), bread dumplings, cabbage, potato pancakes, and Apple Strudel!
I would like to see potato dumplings come back as a special when they settle in.
Don't forget a cold, frosty glass of Munich's Hofbräuhaus Beer!
This restaurant is a hidden gem! Authentic German dishes, great service, and a beautiful German atmosphere. The food was just amazing! We got Jaeger schnitzel, meatloaf, and the Bavarian plate. Seriously, you have to try this place! Highly recommend.

Can’t wait to go back! Iris waited on my husband and I. She was so nice and gave us samples of the two wines we were trying to decide between and even gave us a taste of their delicious hearty goulash before we decided. Amazing schnitzels and sauces and sides. Everything we tasted was so delicious, it was hard to stop eating even when we got full. It’s the best German food we’ve ever had. Heidi, the owner, is SO sweet. She made us feel like we were with family.
Authentic. Amazing. Awesome. Clean homemade uniquely genuine German food. From the sauerbraten to the sauerkraut, it was simply amazing and made to perfection. We closed the place down and got to meet Heidi- who is beyond lovely. This is a restaurant that after you visit once, it becomes a regular destination each time you return. Not only did the food warm my soul and exceed my expectations, when you add in the ambiance, and the people, it became unforgettable. I felt like we stumbled upon a secret passageway to a German chateau, where we instantly became apart of a easy going celebration with long lost friends and family. This will be a must go restaurant for me every time go to Fort Meyers.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Heidi's German Restaurant in Fort Myers with a group of friends. We were familiar with their former Fort Myers Beach location, which was unfortunately destroyed by Ian, and we were thrilled to learn of its reopening at this new venue.
The newly reopened restaurant is beautifully decorated, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately made us feel at home. The staff, donning traditional Dirndl dresses, were both friendly and attentive, adding an authentic touch to our dining experience.
The quality of the food at Heidi's is top-notch. We sampled a variety of dishes, including Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, and Kartoffelpuffer. I personally opted for the Schweinebraten with Knodel, and we were all incredibly satisfied with how the meals were prepared and presented. The taste was exceptional; truly a testament to authentic, high-quality German cuisine.
A German restaurant wouldn't be complete without a selection of German beers, and Heidi's certainly didn't disappoint in that regard.
All in all, Heidi's German Restaurant in Fort Myers has made a successful comeback. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning soon. It is indeed a celebration of German cuisine done right and a tribute to resilience in the face of adversity.
An incredible family run restaurant. Axel is able to bring authentic taste to your tastebuds that you will never forget. the service in the dining room is always great they greet you with a smile and warm welcoming energy. It pairs so well with the intrinsic German atmosphere. The new location has a beautiful beer garden area under covered patio out back and the very wonderful courtyard up front. The beer steins invite you to stay awhile and the deserts tantalize you with tastes of the old world. I can’t say enough how grateful the community is to have your restaurant back after such a devastating loss from hurricane Ian. Can you ever have too much of a good thing? I’ll find out now that’s it’s much closer to home. Hahah. Do yourself a favor and come to enjoy the wonderful Heidi’s German restaurant!
