Heidelberg Inn to be Featured on America’s Best Restaurants
QUEENSBURY, NY – Local restaurant Heidelberg Inn will be hosting a visit from America’s Best Restaurants (ABR) in late August 2023.
America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants, will bring its ABR Roadshow to the restaurant on August 29th. Popular dishes will be highlighted, along with an extensive on-camera interview with owner John Weber about the restaurant’s special place in the community. The episode will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date.
Heidelberg Inn, open since 1972, has been under Weber’s ownership for over eight years. He claims they are the last truly authentic German restaurant in the area. With an outdoor covered biergarten, staff in traditional lederhosen or dirndls, and a full menu of German and American specialties all made from scratch, they offer a fun and different experience for locals and tourists alike.
“I think there’s something unique about what we offer and what we’re doing,” he says. He is looking forward to the upcoming visit from ABR to potentially get new customers in the door.
They have a big draw for Oktoberfest, which runs from mid-September through October at the restaurant.
A popular menu item that may be featured on the episode is the ‘German Tour’, a platter of options which consists of veal jagerschnitzel, choice of one wurst (which is sourced from a NYC charcuterie) and sauerbraten, which is beef marinated in a red wine vinaigrette for ten to twelve days, slow cooked for hours, and served with a beef-based gingersnap gravy.
“It’s definitely unique,” notes Weber. “Some people come in exclusively for that.”
And don’t forget the German beers on tap, available in das boot – 1.25 liters or 2 liters in a glass shaped like a boot.
America’s Best Restaurants will be filming on location on Tuesday August 29th from 9 am to noon EST. The press is invited to attend but the filming is closed to the public. The restaurant’s finished episode premiere date will be announced on their Facebook page and will be featured on America’s Best Restaurants’ website at https://americasbestrestaurants.com/rests/new-york/heidelberg-inn.
