The Heidelberg

Van Ghost

Greetings! It's been some time since I have made an effort to review a fine dining establishment but I am now returning to my horse as a trusted steed to illustrate to you my experience at the legendary, COMO, homegrown - The Heidelberg. I thought it was called Gunter Hans because I am ignorant but my confusion was quickly decamped upon my arrival. The waitress read my mind and knew what side order I was going to order before the words escaped my mouth - however - she had no knowledge of either Marty or Kevin (both whose names appear on different menu items - I am still looking into this matter, will note any updates.) My other concern was I could not see my food due to the lack of lighting (see photo) - all in all, I would recommend if you're feeling mysterious and ready to eat some classic bar foods where Ross Meneffee played bar chords when he was 16. **POST FOOD EDIT** I must confess I rated this place a 4 out of 5 while I was still buzzing of my Bonesmasher Rye pour from Sycamore but upon receiving my meal I was less than satisfied. Talk about no sauce. I think perhaps the chef may be allergic to seasoning, maybe that is why there is no record of Marty or Kevin with the wait staff...still no update on these guys. I had not the slightest idea that I had been eating Cajun fries my entire life but based on my experience here it appears so.

Great atmosphere but the food generally leaves a little more to be desired. For the price I'd expect higher quality. But it's not upsetting. The burgers are the best bang for buck item

A popular place for Mizzou students (especially those who enjoy drinking). The BOGO appetizers during happy hour are a great deal. Sadly, the chicken wings are not BOGO. I was also disappointed in the club skins as there was a lack of melted cheese and the turkey cubes were oddly large. The staff is quite friendly and attentive. They also have a nice banquet room that can be reserved.

Now, let’s keep this straight … it’s a bar, and a somewhat infamous spot near campus historically known for its bar more so than it’s dining…. It is what it is. Since my days being here on occasion, it seems roomier and brighter. The drinks came quickly, we had ample local beer options, and honestly for it being a game day (right after loss to Boston college) it was adequate but we lost the waitress for quite a while while they did shots and we had to get back to the swim meet. So service was ok, then not. Beers were good and cold. Appetizers were appetizers. So, in review it’s like a cleaner, more spacious and brighter version. And it smells better. Lol, but still has same vibe. Plus one for nostalgia.
