We have one major focus: the popular German street food - schnitzel. We also have wursts made by local German meat market legend, Binkert's (Rosedale, MD). Other partnerships include a Black Forest Ice Cream Sandwich by Scoop & Paddle (Clarksville, MD).We use fresh meats and vegetables, never frozen. The pretzels are made by hand by an Army vet who learned to make pretzels in Germany after his service. The sauces are made from scratch. Our cocktail program features both popular and obscure German spirits. The wine program consists of small-production family-owned wineries in Germany and Austria. Beer offerings include a healthy diet of imported German beers and local breweries who make German-style brews. Join us inside our cozy beer hall, outside on our biergarten, or for take out or delivery! Thanks for being a part of the #schnitzelgang.

• Steakhouse • Ellicott City

WE ARE FAMOUS FOR OUR WET AND DRY-AGED STEAKS THAT ARE HAND-CUT BY OUR IN HOUSE PROFESSIONAL BUTCHERS.Our steaks are wet aged on average 45 to 70 days, cut and then dry-aged for another 5 to 7 days. This extensive aging process is what separates us from our competition. We have been described as serving a “Ruth’s Chris” steak at an “Outback” price. In addition to our signature steaks, we serve baby back ribs, fresh salads, chicken, seafood, fajitas, and we even have two pasta dishes. Prices range on entrees from $9.99 to $29.00 for our 22 oz. T-bone steak. We make our dishes from scratch using the best ingredients. It’s the little details that keep the guests returning, from grilling a lemon to be squeezed on a fresh grilled fish, to making our brownies for our signature dessert, the Brownie Sundae.

The food was outstanding and even though several in my group had not been to The Ratheskeller before, they were already planning when to go back so they could try other things, too.

Great historic location and enjoyed brunch menu items. Service was great and food arrived quickly. A little loud but seated next to large party (10 adults). Portions were smaller than expected but adequate. Quality and delicious food.

My co-worker and I came here to celebrate her birthday. She's been wanting to come here for a long time and she and I weren't disappointed. Our server was very informative and helpful with everything. His suggestions were spot on to our likings. He really knew his stuff. We're planning on coming back with the rest of our crew for a Girlfriends Outing really soon. This is a really great spot to hang out after work or on the weekend.
