The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was excellent! Live German instrumental music made it even better. Their peach cobbler cheesecake was the best cheesecake I have ever had. I highly recommend!

We had a great dinner during our trip to Helen, GA. The staff are very welcoming and kind. Our server, Sully, was top-notch! The music perfumers were fun, talented, and really engaging with the customers. The potato pancakes were layered with potatoes and crispy! The spaetzel was the best I’ve had, and the chicken schnitzel with mushrooms, onions, & mozzarella… that was incredible! We took the lemon raspberry cake to-go and that was delicious too. This was the best part of Helen, I’d go back just to eat here again 🙂

If you’re looking for a taste of Germany, Bodensee is the place for you. The food is delicious, and the staff are friendly and attentive. The pretzel is a must-try – it’s nice and fluffy with hot cheese. The sampler for two is huge, so be warned that it’s enough for three people, not two. But it’s a great way to try a bit of everything. And the live music is a nice touch. All in all, it’s a great experience.

What a fantastically wonderful experience this was! Live music, fast service, and terrific owners. As someone who’s been blessed to travel abroad, I can honestly report that the Bavarian food, beer, and atmosphere is spot on. We tried the German sampler for two, and just say that this dish could feed 4! Everything was delicious and we will make this a frequent stop each time we visit Helen, Ga!

I have nothing bad to say about Bodensee! The owner and chef are from Germany, so it is true authentic German food! If you don’t know what to get, you can’t go wrong with the goulash soup! We got the sampler for two, however it was enough food for four! Everything in the sampler was amazing! However, I cannot quite remember all of the names of the foods. If you are going to Helen, Georgia for authentic German food, stop at Bodensee! The servers were very friendly and welcoming, and when they forgot to bring a dish they instantly took it off the bill and offered to bring us the dish. I would eat here again if I was in the mood for German food!

Great spot for German food and beer. They have an accordion band walking around the restaurant singing German songs. The service was very good and they accommodated our very large party. The pretzel with beer cheese was delicious. I was hoping for some real German mustard to accompany it but they just provide guldens mustard in packets. The German platter for two was good but it was impossible to finish between two people and all of flavors kind of blended together on the plate plus a lot of the items were just okay. If I went back I would get the schnitzel and/or sausage as they were the standout dishes on the platter.

We were happy to get some German food! As you can see in the pictures below… it did have music which was very awesome. Just a little setback as we did have a person that has sensory overload. Probably should have not brought her in, but didn’t know that they had that going on. But overall I would go back for sure and they had my favorite German beer – schofferhofer I was happy!!!

The most authentic German food you will eat anywhere near Helen. The goulash was amazing! The kraut and pork chops were bomb!! Even my picky teenager found something he liked. The potato pancakes were a little dry, but the rest of the food made up for it. If you get the player for 2, it will feed 4 people. It’s huge! 10 out of 10!

We ordered the smoked pork chop with German potato salad and sauerkraut, chicken schnitzel with jager gravy and spaetzle. Also ordered the red cabbage. I liked everything except for the potato salad, but my husband liked it. All of the other food was very tasty. The waitress was helpful and food came out in a timely manner. We would eat there again.
