Looks sketchy from the outside at times, but never fear! Come on in! I've been here several times now after hearing about Daniel's and driving past it for years. I love their biker bites, fried pickles, and have yet to try one of their amazing burgers. They have a good selection of drinks, and the cocktails I've had have been great. Try their boozy root beer and thank me later. They are locally owned and the staff all live in the area so be prepared to chat and get some good recommendations and local stories! read more

First-timers at Daniel's Restaurant & Bar. We found ample parking, especially for motorcycles. It's a haven for veterans and first responders. My Food Experience: - Maryland crab soup - fresh and flavorful but caution on the "HIGH" sodium... - Cheesesteak salad, topped generously with chipped beef, fried onions and melted provolone, was substantial enough to stand as an entree... - Crispy, delish-coated fries... - Perfectly executed burger temperatures... - not to mention *Daniel's chicken wings, fried to perfection and generously sauced, were a five-finger-lickin-delicious affair!! Kudos to Jameson for top-notch service. Live country music in the rear bar adds a lively touch. A good gathering spot for families and friends. read more

POC BEWARE!! I visited yesterday for the first time and it'll be my last. Service is okay and food is average. However! You will be the only POC in the establishment and people talk very openly about their racist ideology and beliefs. There was a group at the bar openly and very loudly praising the work of ICE agents and underscoring how ICE is just doing their job and how ICE doesn't target "brown people". One man commented how "illegals are having kids and using up all the social security". Just IGNORANT and uneducated. FACT: Undocumented immigrants don't receive social security despite paying taxes This made me extremely uncomfortable as a woman of color. One woman said she would "shoot first ask questions later" if she were a cop. Disturbing. Two patrons openly started YELLING because one man disagreed with what the party was saying and I told him not to waste his breath or energy. Staff did not step in to de-escalate. Seems like regular discourse here. If you want sub-par food with a side of political debate and racism, this is the spot for you. I will never be back. read more

The place was very pleasant and service was excellent. We had a large party of twelve and asked for separate checks at lunch. It took a while to get that all settled but worth the wait. The food was really good I had a bacon cheeseburger cooked perfect. Some had fried green tomatoes (in January) and they said they were delicious. It is known as a biker bar and in the summer you will see lots of bikes but past that and you can see why a great place to get great food. Prices were very competitive on the low side and definitely worth a visit. I will be back. Plenty of parking and handicap accessible we had wheelchair and walkers and we were comfortable read more

Daniel's is firstly a biker bar. Now, don't get your shoelaces in knots..... It is a most wonderful, great vibe place with DELICIOUS FOOD!!!! My daughter and I came here on a Saturday evening. We both ordered burgers, double cheddar for her and mushroom swiss for me. As you see in the video they are both lusciously divine!!!!! We opted to dine on the porch which was SO relaxing!!!!!! The food did take a bit to come but that's because they are so busy. EVERYONE is ordering from here!!!! The vibe is so laid back, people are very nice. Our burgers were The BEST we've EVER had!!!!!!! We will be returning here often read more

The food here was amazing. We went for brunch. Drinks were great. Our server Michael was amazing. Friendly and so efficient. Definitely would ask for him again. Food came out quick and was hot. The scrapple gravy and biscuits are the best I've had. The outside is a little deceptive but once inside the place is amazing. read more

This place has become part of our family's annual post-Thanksgiving tradition. Every time we've been there, the interactions have created a friendly and welcoming feel. We've gone a couple times with our kids and they always provide coloring books (not those corny sheets that you get in chain restaurants). Oddly, I really appreciate the no profanity signs all around the bar. I'm not sure if it's tongue-in-cheek but it was kind of cool to see. The front of the house and the back picnic table style create two totally different environments. Personally, I prefer the picnic area a little bit more. The picnic area is a lot louder. The area that looks a little more like a restaurant has a lot more viewing options for watching the games. We almost always order burgers when we eat there. We especially like the tricycle. The kids always get Chicken fingers. Nobody has ever complained about the food ! I'm not sure how or why, but for some reason the best way to describe this place is just Maryland. Something about the whole vibe and the place and the regulars just feels very very much like Maryland. That's not a bad thing! read more

Picture the kind of neighborhood bar where everybody knows each other and they're all having a good time because they enjoy each others' company. That's the vibe. Now, imagine you walk in for the first time and even though they don't know you, they welcome you into the fun and want you to have just as good a time as they're having. That's the level of service. Now, for good measure, imagine they've got some of the best crab cakes you've ever had. That's Daniels. Why only four stars, you ask? Well beyond the crab cakes and french fries, the other menu items we had weren't as good. And the beer list, while certainly not bad, wasn't as diverse as a beer-lover might hope. Is it perfect? No, but it's good enough that I'll definitely be back. read more

After trying this place out twice for breakfast on the weekend, then hitting it up again late enough for one of us to get breakfast and one of us (me) to get something off their lunch menu, I feel like it's worth another trip. The two times we dined for breakfast, we were in the front bar area which seemed cramped and loud. On this last visit, we entered through the back addition and sat in there. It's a very nicely done large area with a bar and extra large picnic tables. Nice and airy and lots of windows and some cool music playing. I really liked my chicken quesadilla and my guy liked his breakfast. I think we'll be going here again soon. The staff was also very nice and welcoming. read more

Daniel's is incredible. Food is high quality, especially for the price. It's a cute little classic restaurant and bar with live music often!

Ridden past this hidden gem for many years, but never had the opportunity to stop. One chilly Saturday, we went in after a bike show, and we were pleasantly surprised. The rough and tumble bar you see from the street masks a decent bar and grill that seems to have been recently renovated on the inside. They also have an outdoor stage and olé the of parking. The food was top notch, with the hamburger being the best I've had in a very long time. The drinks were poured on the generous side, but had more flavor than power. I'm looking forward to my next visit, probably after a long ride on the bike. The service was AMAZING, with our orders coming out promptly, and our server getting the order corrected with speed and no attitude when one sandwich was wrong. read more

Just the back area is open due to Covid. Not to worry, plenty of room. Daniels is very clean with very friendly staff. My wife and I stopped in for lunch. I ordered The Fish Sandwich and my wife ordered the Steak n Cheese. As always Daniels never disappoints, my wife steak n Cheese looked and was very good. Just could have used a little seasoning on the meat. My Fish sandwhich was excellent served with slaw and onion rings which the rings were straight up great. read more

The only reason I didn't give them a 5 star was the service was a little slow, however, the server did come by and apologize for the slowness. She kept my cup full of coffee, the food was excellent and the place was packed. A great neighborhood find. I want to come back for a bacon cheese burger! read more

My sister was visiting from Phoenix and she brought me here for dinner. She had already dined here before and really likes the place. I was anticipating a nice dinner and Daniel's Restaurant didn't disappoint either of us. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and WOW, they had flavor that I wasn't expecting. The Maryland crab soup was one of the best crab soups I've ever tasted. The Shrimp salad was excellent too. The front of house staff was pleasant and attentive. The atmosphere was casual and very comfortable. As more patrons arrived, I could see that this is a beloved local hangout. The ample parking lot is in the rear of the restaurant and is well illuminated. Daniel's Restaurant is now one of my two go to spots when I pass through Elkridge. read more

The foods great. Service is great. Drinks are cold. What more could you ask for?! Love this place!

Love this place...The food is great and the family owned locals vibe can't be beat. Staff is always friendly/helpful with great menu offerings as well. Frequently have really good music and many special events throughout the year! read more

Good food and great service. Haven't been there in years so it was nice to see renovations.

Went to Daniels tonight to try out their Trivia Night. I'm a veteran and we are an easy table to wait on and over-tip by habit. Daniels totally missed the boat tonight due to poor service and attitude. The bartender was a total attitude trainwreck. She ruined the night for our table of 7. Drinks were late, when asked she would blame the sever saying the drinks had been made and sitting on the bar for 5 minutes - mind you, she wasn't busy and was talking to her regulars. When approached for ketchup, she made me move to the end of the bar and then walked away with no comment. When I approached the sever, she then finally asked what I needed. We're regulars at Caton Tavern, we were hoping to transfer our regular Trivia team night to Daniels, you can blame the bartender for a crappy experience and the loss of a future weekly $400 tab. read more

Great place with good food! Always quick service, clean environment, friendly staff and amazing involved owners! Personally love the Big Kahuna Burger, or the seasonal Rubens! read more

Don't let the questionable exterior scare you. Yes, it is a "biker bar" but will fool you when you go inside. No motorcycle clubs are allowed so there is never any trouble there. The food is great and the service is very friendly. Their burgers are amazing and they have one of the best chef salads around! Families eat there...even the local priest! read more

The place has an atmosphere I can't resist....local, long-time and welcoming establishment. I have visited on multiple occasions and today I had the Maryland crab soup along with a beer and sandwich. My wife had a salad. The crab soup was the best I can recall ever tasting! The potato salad was another outstanding item along. This is a place I will be returning to frequently to enjoy good food, drinks and fun!! read more

The service was ok but the waitress never refilled our drinks. Perhaps sodas have no refill. My favorite fried pickles for sure!

Medium rare burger ended up closer to well Onion rings were delicious and great texture, albeit super duper greasy Service was friendly but rare Just wish I had known they wouldn't cook my burger med rare, would have tried something else. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place. The service is amazing along with ambiance--very comfortable. The food is suuuper yummy, especially their "Biker Bites," a hit appetizer. Come here if you want a great family feel with great food and service! I would have added a picture of my food, but I ate it all! It was too good. read more

Interior looks hard. Like serious bar, not that fancy and fashionable restaurant. But looks cool. And food here is a hidden gem. May looks like usual menu, but cooked great. Crab soup, burgers and fries are awesome. And as an addition you will get salad on a side, tasty patty, a lot of cheese. Taste awesome. Portion size is good. read more

As a 25 year resident of Elkridge I never felt compelled to try Daniel's. It just didn't seem like my kind of restaurant and bar...but about 3 years ago, I gave it a try...wow, was it more than I imagined. First, Daniel's has a nice beer selection on tap. Second, they have great appetizers including tasty wings and fried green tomatoes topped with lump crab meat. Finally, they serve out of this world burgers! I wholeheartedly recommend their Bacon Cheeseburger. Its a nice 8 ounce burger, cooked your way, with your choice of cheese and toppings and amazingly, 4 slices of bacon! Its truly a burger to die for! Daniel's doesn't profess to be anything more than a neighborhood bar. For 22 years I missed out. Don't do the same. read more

Can never go wrong with their wings. Hands down best I've ever had. Sub rolls also amazing. I've never been disappointed here. read more

Go for the redneck ambience and drinks and the fun open bar counter at the front wall (all 6 seats) but do NOT go for the food, alone if you are a woman or not someone who easily blends in with the locals. Found it on a nearby search. Looked interesting and I could sit outside and enjoy my breakfast. I only ordered creamed chipped beef and a biscuit with coffee. Safe choice, right? I dont know what tobacco road poverty the owner learned to cook from but what I received was starch soup with a dozen chips of beef floating around to remind you what you just paid $7 bucks for. It was THAT watery and THAT skimpy on actual corned beef and for $7. ::expression of amazement:: I know...right? So, I finished it because I was famished (hi, why else would I be there ordering what is supposed to be thick gravy with meat in it for a meal) and told the waitress I needed another biscuit because the creamed chipped beef soup they just served me was watery. (Inexcusably so). She was apologetic and brought the biscuit (thank god those were good. Obviously made by someone outside this restaurant). She rang up my check a 2nd time and charged me another $3 for the biscuit on top of the insult that creamed chip beef was to anyone's good sense, taste buds or wallet. She left and I finished my coffee and thought about the $15 I just spent for a cup of coffee, 2 biscuits and a small restaurant cup of watery cream with a dozen chipped beef pieces floating in it. As I shifted in my seat, another staff member bolted out from behind a door to collect my check. Guessing from her instantaneous appearance of when all I did was shift on a less than perfectly comfortable bar stool, I figure this one must have been perched behind the peep window on the door because she knew they were really pushing their luck with first, the soupy mess they served and then demanding payment for a cheap biscuit instead of just apologizing for what they knew was bad cooking (if it was even cooked. Creamed chipped beef. Heat and serve. For it to be THAT watery, you HAD to cut it with water! What is wrong with people?) God forbid someone might have buyers remorse with a $14 ticket for basically, coffee, 2 biscuits and watery starch soup (literally). As i handed her the money and she was as pleasant as a hemorrhoid taking it. Then, came back and gave me my change WITH a dirty look as a bonus. I was really hoping this otherwise pretty blonde was not the cook involved in this overpriced back alley soup (and that's why she was acting like this was a personal insult) because, lord...can you imagine THAT personality with THOSE poor cooking skills as your wife or mother? :: shudder:: I wanted to love this place. I really did because I a huge supporter of local, independent businesses and local community having color and personality. But after what they served me (with a straight face!), and then charged me for a 2nd cheap biscuit instead of just giving it as an apologetic courtesy for the insult of the price of that kitchen water they served AND then sent me off with the kind of crappy attitude usually reserved for people who have tricked you out of good money (instead of the other way around), well insult to injury is an understatement on what could have been a nice morning and memory and good recommendations. Like all bad experiences, it did make a good story and tale of warning. So here is my observation: Not a local? Maybe not best choice. Actually want to eat a decent meal? Definitely not the best choice (I mean, come on! How bad at cooking do you have to be to mess up creamed chipped beef?! Lord!!!! Hahah) Want to feel like your money was well spent on your meal? No way in hell when faced with $14 for a cup of coffee, and 2 biscuits unless you are at a white table cloth restaurant where there is a surcharge to breathe in their presence. ...oh but that small cup of watery starch gravy with a few flakes of beef floating around in it? It was clearly for show since noone in their right mind would call THAT food to be served, much less charged money for. read more

This is a great spot for drinks and food. Don't let the bikers out front scare you off from coming into this establishment. All the bikers are friendly BTW. Drinking outside at the bar is a treat when the weather is good. There are stools for you to sit on and you can also hang in the big space in front of the bar. You're able to walk around like there aren't any open container laws ..ok let me throw in a disclaimer...there are such laws and please observe every law that pertains to alcohol. Ok with that out of the way let's continue. The staff is attentive even outside. The bar inside has sit down tables as well as another big bar that you can slide up to and watch their TVs which usually has on sports. The food is delicious. The fried green tomatoes with crabmeat on top is great. The burgers are always a hit here. Also their wings are big and that spicy sauce is very very hot..to most people. Seriously if you're in the area like I am..usually after playing lacrosse...come and visit this place. You won't be disappointed with their big selection of beers and Baltimore Beer is well rep'ed of course. Till next time .... read more
