How many times do you get to eat in the basement of an old converted Hospital? This place is awesomely cool... Quaint, romantic, hip... And the food?? Let’s just say that upstairs has some of the best cooking equipment available, while downstairs, somebody knows how to use it.
The German Sampler plate was “Sehr, Sehr Gut!!!”
The staff was extremely friendly, and a harpist for atmosphere.
This is a small town restaurant with big time appeal.
Well...I have never eaten anything I didn't love...have to say breakfast is kinda a must and a fave! Just a great place with some unexpected surprises on the menu!
I thought the food was solid. I was surprised they didn’t have higher ratings. Definitely recommend the bacon wrapped filet, the sausage plate is alright. But the cheddar mashed potato and green beans were phenomenal…like WOW. And the staff were cheerful and kind despite being super busy
Perfect experience - simple and rustic ambience with helpful staff, paid attention to details about the food and the salads we ordered were amazing and fresh, chicken cooked to perfection.
Would surely recommend this place.
We wantes to stop and try something new.The food was beyond amazing. We all tried something different from the German menu it was all fantastic. Our waitress Amilia was super sweet explained each dish to us. Was very kind. The service was absolutely top notch. Food arrived very quickly.
Fantastic German food tucked away in a basement. The German sampler platter was incredible (and great for Keto people). The peach bread pudding was equally amazing, but not so keto-friendly! 😉
Rathskeller does not disappoint on the food whatsoever, but it is the setting and ambiance that makes it a one-of-a-kind experience in an already story-rich, historic setting!
The Rathskeller is located in the basement morgue of the old Keidel Hospital which was built in the 1800’s.
The Jaeger Schnitzel was prepared to perfection. The Peach Bread Pudding is one of the best kept secrets in all of Fredericksburg! This desert alone is worth the descent into The Rathskeller!
