3 stars for the environment and location.
It's Helen, so you expect semi decent German food. Well. Unless I was all wrong in my selection of the 2 brat dinner ($15). Then they are light years behind their counter parts up the street. I couldn't stop salting my plate, trying to force some flavor. Nothing worked. I ate about half of one link and gave up. I was eating but tasted nothing. For only the second time in my life, I asked to take it back. I just couldn't see paying all that money for empty calories.
My husband got the same thing and also felt it was lackluster but he ate it.
My son, if you read my reviews got the norm. Chicken tenders and fries. These ended up being partially my meal. Chicken was huge and great, the fries were also delicious! Bar Food A+
My MIL got a huge side salad and they let her as a senior get a kids meal. She got grilled shrimp and fries. Her total was $16 for those items. I thought the side salad price was kinda crazy ($7 or $8) it was rather large though.
We definitely will go elsewhere for German fare but, If the bar prices were right, I could eat those chicken tenders again. -

Its a fun place to sit on the river and watch the tubers float by. They have a diverse list of drinks. I tried a few of them. The names escape me, but one had a LOT of rum in it. Maybe that's why.
There are relatively no locals in this town that I noticed. This place is no different. It had some feeling of the Riverwalk in San Antonio with music, lots of people drinking and eating and close proximity to the water. It is a good place to kill the afternoon in the shade on a hot day. -

After seeing the reviews of this place, I wish I had taken more pictures of our food. We had a group of about 12 and they were very accommodating.
Our food came in a decent amount of time. We all liked what we ordered. Our waiter was fantastic. The view was fantastic. Parking was probably the most annoying thing, but we otherwise had no complaints.
There aren't a lot of eating options in Helen, but I would say this was one of the better ones. -

The best thing about this trip - Will, the waiter! If you go ask for his section. He was fun and attentive and everything you want in a waiter.
The food:
Appetizer round- I ordered the pretzel and beer cheese. Pretzel is hard to mess up and they didn't but the beer cheese was more a beer soup. Literally the "cheese" had a soup texture and taste.
Entree round- I ordered the muffuletta sandwich. This was not a muffuletta at all. They serve the olive spread and dressing on the side. So essentially you just have a ham and cheese sandwich on a big roll. Was it bad? Was it great? No is the answer to both those questions. It was a giant ham and cheese sandwich served with chips and a pickle. ($12)
Overall: The building is cute. The bathrooms are very clean considering it's a tourist place.
Final thoughts: It is what it is! -

I had the chicken salad platter which was huge. It was tasty but the chicken was practically pureed. No need to chew it. That was a little weird. We sat out back along the river. Very pretty view.
