After living in Germany for many years one would always want to get some authentic German food without an American spin. Presentation of food was good but the sauerbraten was dry, Rot Kroll (red cabbage) was either watered down with very little flavor but very sweet, and Schacht Platte (butcher plate) traditionally has good size portions and multiple meats which was not the case.

Had a wonderful meal last night! We sat in the wood paneled dining room that oozes Germanic heritage. Loved my whisky sour that accompanied the WARM large pretzel and house salad. Happily we waited for the old standards, the wurst plate with spaetzle and German potato salad and the schnitzel with mashed potatoes and fresh snap peas. We were not disappointed! Our waitress, Jane, was a professional all the way. Loved our evening.

Great experience as always! Excellent service (we think it was her first night- she did a great job!) Food as authentic as we could hope to get. Beer selection as always exceptional. And all of that in one of the most historic, authentic, and beautiful settings in which we’ve eaten in this country. A family favorite when we are in Indy.

Food was over cooked and/or dry. Noodles were doughy and sauce wasn’t very flavorful. I recall it being better last time I went, which was several years ago, but I don’t think I’ll be going back again if this is the new normal.

My husband loves German food so when I found out about this restaurant, we were excited to try it! I did make a reservation but we ended up getting to the restaurant about 30 minutes early and were able to be seated without issue. From the moment you walked in, you were transported to Germany. The restaurant is beautiful and authentic. The food is even more amazing! You get a pretzel and bread to start; beware…the mustard will definite clean out your sinuses! Definitely should have listened to the waitress when she said a little went a long way! My husband got the oxtail soup as a start, which was excellent. For entrées, I order the jagerschniztel and my husband ordered the kraut mixed plate. Both were absolutely delicious and I would absolutely recommend both dishes. We were absolutely stuffed by the time dessert came around! All of the food came out very quickly as well. Fantastic meal, fantastic service! Highly recommend checking out if you are in the Indianapolis area!

It was good. The dessert was the best. I had the Sacher torte which they made correct! A lot of places serve chocolate cake. The service was great and the ambiance reminds you of old German, the bar is the coolest. I’d sit in the bar if I went again. Food portions were enormous.

Our waitress was wonderful, knowledgeable about the beers & food, attentive and funny. We were seated immediately even though the bride & groom to be were running late.

We arrived late afternoon on a Monday and it was quiet in the bar area where we ate & had beers. By the time we left though it had picked up nicely and it was a vibrant atmosphere. We started with the fried appetizer plate (there were 3 of us to share this and it was very ample). All 4 plated items were very good....favorite was the sausage & kraut balls....very tasty !! We quite enjoyed the pretzel and mustard too. For entrees we all had something different and really liked our selections...sausage plate, smoked pork chops, and rouladen. These are big portions and you get 2 sides & we did have leftovers to take with us. The beers were awesome. We ventured into unknown territory and loved our selections. One was very smoky and another was blended with grapefruit. Highly recommend the Rathskeller and we will be back to enjoy the music and hoop-la another time !!
