Owned and operated by Bavarian natives, the restaurant has been serving up authentic German/Bavarian food and culture since 1998! So this menu has a lot more than your typical German-American biergarten offerings. We went for a couple of their specialties - Sauerbraten (sour beef) and Goulash - which were both fantastic. My husband enjoyed a German beer (he always loves a German Hefeweizen), and I had Gluehwein (red wine served warming and steeped with warming spices). Everything tasted great, but it was also just a wonderful place to enjoy a meal: music (an accordionist played throughout our meal), children dancing to the music, classic German decor (including some Christmas touches), and great service! I'd be happy to return. In fact, I look forward to it!

Getting ready for Oktoberfest? This is the spot to stock up on brats and beer!…read more If you're looking for authentic German ingredients for a meal, German Gourmet Deli won't disappoint. They've got an excellent selection of brats and sausages, salamis, cheeses, pierogis, German novelty items, chocolates, and--of course--wine! The only downside? Not all staff seem familiar with German specialty foods. I actually asked about pierogis and was told they didn't know what they were... until I stumbled across them in the freezer myself. ‍ and BTW... the potato onion had a nice pepper flavoring. Still, the variety and authenticity make it worth the trip--just be prepared to browse and discover some gems on your own. Perfect for all your Oktoberfest cravings!

My wife and I have dined at the Rathskeller a few times now and we will definitely return; we even…read morebrought friends for their first experience. We started with Potato Cakes with crème fraiche, they had a nice crunch, a tender interior with subtle flavor. I'd never had them with crème fraiche, it was a nice change and the mild tanginess with the creamy texture complimented the Cakes well. I ordered the Main Street with Weisswurst, a Pretzel and plain Spätzle. It was my first, the veal's flavor is understated in comparison to Bratwurst or Knackwurst (not on the menu) and was a pleasant changeup. The Pretzel was little disappointing while it was a decent pretzel, it lacked the crisp crust and distinctive flavor I expected. As evident by the rating while worthy of note, it's not a game changer. I'd ordered a large plain Spätzle, which was two regular portions, but was served Spätzle with cheese I tasted it and it wasn't my thing, which is not to say it was bad, I just don't care for cheese in dishes like that. Our server swapped one cheese for plain (my wife had happily stolen the other) and enjoyed the replacement. I found that the grilled onions gave it a nice homey flavor. Mistakes happen and it turned out to be a win in the end. We shared a couple of desserts and by far, my favorite was the Black Forest Cupcake. It's on the large side, they might be able to cut on the weighty crème icing, the chocolate cake and soaked cherries were a delight. The cherries are a significant improvement over the Marchinos I had before, if only there were more. Rathskeller can get a little loud, as it is a relatively small space with hard surfaces so voices reflect, it wasn't packed this afternoon, so it wasn't an issue. Waitstaff dresses very casually, it pleasant and fairly attentive.

Ratskeller is exactly what you hope to find when you're craving a true German beer hall experience…read more If you're looking for great beer, authentic German food, and a fantastic atmosphere, this is the place. The food is hearty, flavorful, and everything you want from traditional German cuisine. The beer selection is excellent, and the lively atmosphere makes it easy to settle in and enjoy yourself. One word of advice: come hungry. The portions are huge, and you'll definitely get your money's worth. Whether you're stopping in for a quick pint or a full meal, Ratskeller delivers a memorable experience.

Be prepared to split it with someone (personally, I recommend the pork though you have the option for chicken schnitzel). Schnitzel cooked to perfection and the size of your head on a pretzel bun half the width with tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, and a delicious aoli. The ratio just allows you more opportunity to let your taste buds dance with the perfectly cooked schnitzel! ::chef's kiss:: If you see the dill pickle mac salad... buy a tub! Super creamy with the perfect amount of acidity. I was skeptical of the dill pickle element but was curious and I'm so glad we tried it. For those looking for vegetarian options, there were two served today, the Käse Spätzle and what I ordered, the "Un-Routine Poutine" (insert drool face)... spätzle egg noodles, mushroom gravy (incredibly delicious), cheese curds, and fried onions... All to say - WOW! I will purposefully shift plans around to have this again! And for those curious about the Fusion reference - other sandwiches include: The Hawaiian, The Korean, The Thai, The Cordon Bleu, The American... I'll be back to try them all! ... And get more of that dill pickle mac salad!

Good food, friendly ambiance and prompt service make this German fare a winner…read more We went here for a late lunch early dinner on a Thursday. The hostess was friendly, bubbly and helpful with our menu choices. We started with the Pretzel bites with a cheese sauce and a mustard sauce for dipping. Little pillows with plenty of salt, a winner. No entree, we shared Onion Rings, Boneless chicken wings (Bbq sauce and garlic Parmesan sauce) and two sausages, bratwurst and knockwurst. Along with my wife ordering Kolsch on tap, we were in heaven. It brought us back to a trip we took to Germany. All delicious. I'm grateful that they put the sauerkraut on the side, it would make me sick. There are a lot of beers and ales on tap and many are authentic from Germany. I had ginger ale, shame on me. We'll be back for their weekend brunch! Recommended!

The food, when it arrived was really good and I ate all of it. The bartended was friendly and attentive, so I had a pretty enjoyable experience overall.

I was literally transported back 50 years to my childhood in my grandma's kitchen by world class German food. I had the Jägerschnitzel with Spätzle, my wife had the Hungarian Goulash and our son had the Schnitzel. I ordered an extra side of the red cabbage salad. I must admit I was a little concerned at how fast our food was prepared and thought they might be using some frozen ingredients, but I was dead wrong. The cutlets were perfectly breaded and prepared so well I didn't need my knife to cut it. The wine mushroom gravy was so filled with buttery goodness that I decided to save some for later by dropping it on my shirt as I tried unsuccessfully to control how fast I ate it. The red cabbage salad was great, the potato salad was insanely great. The portions were perfect- just enough for a big guy like me to feel full and not so much that I felt a need to confess my sins. Despite being full we felt obligated to try the apple strudel. To say it was authentic and amazing is an understatement. Overall we fed a family of three for about $19 per person including drinks. Even though we live 1.5 hrs away, I guarantee you we will be back again and again. My one complaint- this place made me miss my grandmother and her cooking after 50 yrs without her. Thank you for keeping authentic and amazing German cuisine alive, the memory of your mother is honored through your efforts.

The beverage menu is extensive with an impressive variety of beers. I selected the Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Doppleboch - a "lightly oak smoked and malty amber lager." The food selection - appetizers, salads, soups, and entrees is an authentic German selection. I choose the sauerbraten with two sides - spatzle with cheese and potato dumplings with the sauerbraten gravy. The meal came out in short order after the beer. The meal was very good. The beef was a bit tough and the gravy was a bit sweet. Overall it seemed to not have been vinegar marinated for a week, although when asked, the kitchen stated they marinate in vinegar for a week. The potatoes dumpling with Sara gravy tasted authentic. The sparkle with garlic cheese was very good - some of the best I've ever had. I ordered German chocolate cake with a cup of regular coffee. It was a quite excellent slice of cake! The restaurant is very clean throughout. I would recommend it in this neck of the woods; while if in DC, consider going to Old Europe restaurant on Wisconsin Ave as another authentic alternative.
