   There are two ways to experience the Rathskeller - in warmer months, outside in the beer garden; in colder months, down in the Rathskeller. Either way it is a friendly, informal place with a great list of beers and German pub food. Our last visit on a cold day was to the Rathskeller with a group including small children who were treated well. The food ranged from wurst to schnitzel, with great sauteed broccoli, mac & cheese, pretzels, cooked cabbage, potato pancakes and beers (regular and non-alcoholic). The location is a surprisingly residential, but not far from the main roads. Always worth the visit.

   Hi Beth, I sincerely apologize. It's disappointing to hear that my team completely missed it. You could have chosen a number of restaurants to celebrate your anniversary. Thank you for choosing the Rathskeller. I talked to the team and we will make sure this doesn't happen again. Feel free to privately respond with your email and I'll send you a small gift for you to use next time you join us.

   What a find! Nice little quaint restaurant located in Elkridge. The service was great and friendly. The beer selection was on point for a German restaurant, and the food was delicious. My family had a really good time.

   I’ve had the pleasure of dining here before and it’s always a great experience! This time I added the bacon on the crab pretzel and it was incredible. Definitely do it!

   We always have a great experience here. They have the best German food and a beer selection that can’t be matched. The staff are very helpful with suggestions and awesome service. If you are craving a bit of authentic fare - with an excellent selection of many different German beer styles - then this is your place.

   Great dinner tonight! We had a later reservation but went a little earlier and were seated right away. We both had specials-my husband’s favorite is the Chicken Cordon Bleu and I had the Mediterranean Schnitzel. Both were delicious and our server was terrific as well, checked back often and provided any extra needs. The drinks were on point too, I had a Tropical Sunryes and it was very tasty with unique flavors . We need to go more often, it’s so close and we’ve never had a disappointing meal. Don’t miss out on this local gem.

   This German food is the best I’ve ever had. The pretzel appetizer was soft and flavorful. The wursts are all unique and very moist and tender. The pork schnitzel perfectly seasoned and not over cooked. The red cabbage was so well spiced and sweet, it could have been dessert. The potato cakes were very crispy (but a little in the greasy side). I wasn’t a fan of the pumpkin cheesecake. The service was as friendly but a little lacking in some basics.

   Thank you so much! What do you mean by "lacking in some basics?" I'd like to forward this feedback to my service team.

    The food was great and the ambiance was wonderful. Keep the cinnamon pretzel dessert on the menu all year long!

    Thanks a lot Jeremey! We'll do our best to keep the cinnamon pretzel bites!
