I'll offer a few restaurant alternatives featuring hearty german fare:
--Hackerhaus on Sendlinger strasse--awesome food, huge selection (try the Obazter appetiser), excellent beers and terrific apple strudel.
--Donisl, on Marienplatz. Many pork dishes, good beer, oompa band atmosphere, great prices
--Andechser am Dom--near the Frauenkirche, behind Marienplatz. their schnitzel is the best we've ever eaten, many other pork dishes, terrific beers.
--Hackerhaus on Sendlinger strasse--awesome food, huge selection (try the Obazter appetiser), excellent beers and terrific apple strudel.

Munich:
- Augustiner, Neuhauser Straße 27, for regional fare in historical ambiance. Price level: 15 - 25 Euros. http://www.augustiner-restaurant.com/
- Lenbach, Ottostrasse 6, for more innovative cuisine in breathtaking ambiance (a neobaroque palace redesigned by Terence Conran). Price level: 35 - 50 Euros.

Rothenburg:
To be frank, most restaurants in Rothenburg are tourist traps, offering simple, unsophisticated dishes.
However, for a culinary experience, there is a Michelin-star-rated restaurant just outside the medieval wall: Mittermeier.

The food in Rothenburg isn't bad, it's just simple. Expect sausage with saurkraut and salt potatoes and a mug of beer. Heidelberg has a great place to sit and have some tea and cake. WinterGarten on the left hand side of the Haupstrasse (leaving the castle) is a great place for something sweet. They make their own desserts and chocolates! Just order your slice from the cake display and bring your ticket to a table. Then you can order tea or coffee from the waitress. If you are renting a car or want to get out of town I highly recommend going to Ladenburg. It is a walled medievl city, like Rothenburg. Head to Die Kartoffel (the potato) on Kirchenstrasse. Make a reservation first though! they have amazing steaks that you cook at your table on a heated granite stone. They are famous for their huge baked potatos drowning in a herbed sour cream (other options are available, like caviar cream or Roquefort butter. For about 20 Euro you can get a nice filet, a salad, potato, 3 dipping sauces and a good beer. Ladenburg is a nice little town for strolling around in too.

In Munich - definitely second (third?) the recommendations for the Andecher Am Dom and the Hackerhaus. The beer at Andecher was our second favorite in Germany 
Food was very good too. We also enjoyed eating in the beer gardens. The Hirschgarten near Nymphenberg Palace was our favorite.
We only ate at one place in Rothenberg - it was a little outdoor place behind the Gasthof Spitaltor. Nice atmosphere, very relaxing, and good food.

Heidelberg is wall to wall food - in every different ethnic variety you can imagine.
Thai - Supan's on the Hauptstrasse is quick, good and reasonable.
Pub - Dubliner - Irish pub on the Hauptstrasse - great atmosphere, friendly people, good food, decent prices.
German - Can't remember the translation - The Golden Sheep -on the Hauptstrasse (see a pattern?) very, very good food - the sauerbrauten is amazing, but not always on the menu. Friendly service....
Italian - Le Palme - on the Hauptstrasse - little bit pricy, but very good.
Real German - Vetter's - off the Hauptstrasse on the road that leads to the Alte Brucke (old bridge). good beer - good sausage - realllly good fried potatoes.
If you need to know more about HD food - email me - [email protected] - I eat out there all the time and have had 2 bad meals in about 8 years...

Munich, 2 weeks ago we ate at the Augustiner restaurant/beer hall on Neuhauser, which part of the pedestrian zone from the Marienplatz. Best beer in the world and excellent food. If you like liver, it was the best. Going back to Munich tomorrow, maybe we will go there again.
Also good but expensive is the food at the 5 star Kempinski Hotel on Maximilianstrasse.
Any of the beer gardens are good for traditional food as well. Try the haxen, spit-roasted leg of pork. Another good beer and garden is at the Paulaner Brewery (http://www.paulaner.de/) at Hochstrasse 75 on the Nockherberg. The beer garden in the Englisher Garden may have a band.
