Zum Hirsch W. Gehrig in Heppenheim (Bergstraße)

One of the few restaurants that still offer good home-style German cuisine

Celebrated my husband's birthday in the fall. We invited 90 guests and celebrated under the pavilion. The organization was very chaotic and it was difficult to make firm arrangements in advance because it felt like no one really had time when we were there. We still decided to celebrate there because we had heard good things from friends and the food has a good reputation. Unfortunately, there were many obstacles and omissions during the preparation the day before and on the day of the festival and we had the feeling that no one was well prepared for our festival and that despite agreements, things were decided and carried out at very short notice. It seemed to us as if the restaurant had never held such a celebration before. This caused a lot of stress on our part. In retrospect, things went relatively well because the current staff tried very hard. However, we would no longer hold a celebration there under these circumstances. After our criticism, the boss was accommodating, but unfortunately the billing was still to our detriment. But we no longer had the nerve to discuss it. The positive thing was definitely the delicious and beautifully presented buffet, which we definitely want to mention here. However, the pavilion as a marquee urgently needs to be renewed. It rained in bad weather and it looks very bad too. A new pavilion would be better and some rent could be charged for it.

Very nice staff, very tasty food!!

This is still an original restaurant as we know it from the past and miss it today! Down-to-earth food and a draft beer made everyone happy. If you want modern design, you should go to another restaurant or have something built - the last restaurant where you can still pick up chicken is in Heppenheim, hopefully you'll stay with us for a long time!
