Rathskeller Bistro: Reviews & Ratings
Service was excellent! Our waiter was friendly & very attentive. Food was pretty good too!
We enjoyed Rathskeller. Six of us came here this morning for breakfast. We were the first people here for breakfast. The host/server (Debbie) quickly put 2 tables together for us. Debbie was very helpful and attentive to our needs. I had the Hungry Man Omelet with 9-Grain Toast. It was very good. We'd eat at Rathskeller again.
I would call this the most known hole in the wall with an amazing breakfast food. Upon entry it seems tight but there is also seating in the back, service is quick and I would recommend anyone visit. I will be coming back.
We tried the restaurant for breakfast and it was amazing. The biscuits are homemade and the sausage gravy delicious. Good service but get there pretty close to 9am as they quickly fill up.
The wife and I decided to drive up to Fredericksburg today to get out of the house. After walking half the strip, we decided to try our Rathskeller Bistro which is in the basement of Das Küche shop which is an old hospital. I ordered their Bloody Mary (spicy) to start off with a class of water. It was really good The wife ordered the Turkey Bacon Melt with fries. She only ate half the sandwich and pulled the velvety cheese off because it wasn't really melted into the sandwich like she wished it was. I tried it and it was kind of plain but tasty. I think the sandwich would have been much better if the cheese was melted into the sandwich and they used provolone or pepper jack cheese. So only 3 stars for this sandwich. I had the Kraut plate which came with two halves of two different sausages and a small portion of jäger schnitzel, German potatoes, pickled beets and sauerkraut. I absolutely loved this plate and I highly recommend. Oh and the stone ground mustard was really good! It will definitely clear out your sinuses so go lightly. The service was really good and we didn't have any wait to get a table and short wait for the food
