food,service. Rathskeller atmosphere is so cool. Never had a negative experience here. Friendly atmosphere ,nice crowd

An amazing underground pub. Intimate setting with great food and drink. Ask for Michelle at the bar. She's the best.

Food and service excellent. Lobster reuben is unique. Can't saw much for the ambience. Clean rest rooms.

Always great food and good service. The crowd is a mix of everyone in the area who knows how good the burgers are in particular.

Pub food, popcorn in the bar. Always a good meal and fun staff. Downstairs is a bar feel with food, upstairs is quieter dining room, also great for groups & parties!

Consistent, quality, elevated bar food. Solid drink selection. Incredible service. Lots of value for your dollar. I grew up in Dunellen and this is the best eats in town. This will be my first stop every time I return. A truly local spot. They really give back to the community. Get the open-faced pastrami Reuben, the Canuck sandwich, the three-onion soup or the chicken caesar wrap.

Most recently thoroughly enjoyed the bacon wrapped kielbasa widow makers as well as the Kobe burger. Although this place never disappoints and the lobster Reuben is a must try for first timers, the deviation from the norm was rewarded!

I met a group of my girlfriend's for dinner at the Rathskeller which is in the lower level of the Dunellen Hotel. It was just how I remembered it.. Upstairs, they have a fancier dining room. I was seated immediately by a friendly waitress name Vicky. She was very attentive and helpful when ordering. Vicky gave my group wonderful service and suggestions for dinner and drinks. The Dunellen hotel has a special on Monday's, Buy One Burger, and get One Free. ( In House Special Only.) The Rathskeller is very casual, that's what appeals to all their patrons. The food is nothing fancy, more like American Comfort Food. It's consistently delicious and there are many choices to choose from including specials for the day. For appetizers they have wings, nacho platter, , blackened filet bites, ahi tuna, mozzarella sticks,potato skins, chicken tenders, steamers, and fried calamari. They have delicious burgers which are big and look juicy.For sandwiches they offer the prime rib sandwich with a horseradish sabi sauce. Flat iron steak sandwich, grilled vegetable sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich , hot pastrami sandwich , cuban sandwich, lobster ruben sandwich, Canuck sandwich, chicken balsamic focaccia, chicken Caesar wrap, and cheeseburger BLT wrap.and more. You get the picture. For entrees they have meatloaf platter, hotel pot roast dinner, herb crusted Salmon, NY Strip Steak, Chicken Parm., penne vodka, blackened chicken alfredo pasta. If your more in the mood for salads they have a nice assortment to choose from. They serve several soups along with triple onion soup, and some fish and seafood, five personal styles of pizza. There really is something for everyone. The Rathskeller is kid friendly, their Half Pints- Mac n cheese, chicken fingers, grilled cheese, hamburger, or cheeseburger are perfect for kids. I chose to have their Prime Rib Sabi Sandwich. It came with a choice of fries or vegetable. I subbed sweet potato fries for regular fries for an extra charge. The sandwich was grilled sliced Prime Rib topped with sautéed onions and swiss cheese on a toasted garlic Italian roll with a side of Horseradish Sabi Sauce. My sandwich was tender and delicious, the horseradish sauce made it. The birthday girl chose the Lobster Ruben. She enjoyed it. Me personally, I thought the sandwich was a little small. It should've been served on larger sliced rye bread or even a brioche roll,and it could've been a little thicker. Another friend chose the Grilled Chicken Sandwich -Grilled Chicken breast served on a kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato and onion. Also available lemon peppered, barbecued or blackened. You can ask your server about additional toppings. Another friend chose a special for the day. Grilled chicken taco salad bowl. She too enjoyed her meal. Last but not least my other friend ordered their wedge salad and she added grilled chicken for an extra charge. She really liked her salad. The rathskeller was kind enough to let us bring in a small little birthday cake so we could surprise our friend. We all had a wonderful evening and I will definitely be back to try their burger which looked so good.
