The food is basically similar to what one would expect in a German Octoberfest, but with an American twist. We got Kasekrainer, which is a bratwurst with toppings on a roll; Bavarian, which is a hamburger loaded with toppings on a bun of your choice with a side salad; and a Haus Salad, which is dinner salad that is loaded with many ingredients. For drinks I had a draft beer, which was in a large stein like you would get in a German restaurant. My companion got a Mistletoe Margarita. Both were delicious! For dessert we got both Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites and shared them. There was more than enough and we brought leftovers home. I have eaten my Haus salad three times! The atmosphere was so pretty. We were able to sit at a window, so we could see both inside and outside the restaurant. Inside is warm and friendly with plenty of colorful lights and a bar, if you just come in for a drink. There is plenty of outside seating with heaters and fire pits. All is so inviting. The service is good. The staff is very helpful, especially if it is your first time eating there. The chef even stopped by to make sure we were enjoying our food. You seat yourself and get your own water from a station set up for cold water and cups. You choose your own seats. Once seated, you scan the QR code in the table and it opens a menu for you to choose your food and drink from. Once you include your payment method, your food is sent to the kitchen for preparation. It didn't take long for a staff member to bring our drinks and food, and the place was crowded! They made sure we got what we expected. We could have added to our dinner if we had chosen, but the food was so plentiful and delicious, we didn't feel a need to do that. Once we had finished our meal and gotten takeout containers, we paid through the website and we were free to leave. It was nice not to have to wait for a check and someone to bring back a receipt. The receipt was delivered electronically and was able to be sent to our email address. I even sent it to my notes for future reference. I found this experience to be excellent and would highly recommend it!

I came here with a bunch of people from work- most of us are retired/active duty military that were stationed in Germany so I'm so happy that we I came across this in my searches. The beer was great from what I heard. They said it was delicious. The food was absolutely great. I had the Bavarian on regular buns and came with fries that were curled but were thick and nicely battered. I ate every single one. The wings were delicous as well. Staff was great and attentive. Highly recommend!

This place is really cool. I sat outside and one of my favorite movies The Witches (the original) was playing. You sit down at a table and scan a code and order that way, and a server brings the food to you. I got the curry wurst and potato salad and it was really good. The only thing is you pay and tip before getting your food. I'd rather tip after bc a tip should be based on service. It's really not a big deal though, I'd still hang out here all the time if I lived nearby.

Atmosphere is fun and very beer garden. We sat inside because it was a rainy evening. I went with the flight if local brews, and while I figured I would like the sour..I didn't foresee liking the two IPAs more than the cider. Weird! We shared the pretzel with the beer cheese...so yummy, I got the pretzel bites with more beer cheese. Husband went with the cheesy dog, with the obatska (spelling??) cheese. We are both happy campers. (Service is unique..order from the QR code at your table and food just arrives).

Felt like stopping by for a burger and a drink! I wasn't sure about the location, but once we circled around downtown to the restaurant, it was stunning! It had a nice open patio with yard games and tables. I even saw a sand box for kids to play in! Definitely very unique and capable of handling a lot of people. Jess greeted us outside and informed us about the system. Since it was warm outside, we went inside for lunch a don't here was plenty of space :) I ordered just a simple cheeseburger and fries, and my husband ordered the schnitzel sandwich and a beer. While we waited, we played a few rounds of Trivial Pursuit that they had nearby. The food was honestly okay, it was a little overpriced for what we got, about $40 total for both of us. But the atmosphere was chill and inviting and it was a nice experience :)

This is one of my favorite places to go to when I visit my son in Dover. Unfortunately this trip wasn't great. Some of the changes have been good, some have not. The outside area has always been great. Toys for adults and kids. Nice tents, umbrellas and fans for the hot days and cold days. You order off a scan code on the table and it's pretty easy to navigate. The drinks came out fast, the food took a little longer but it wasn't bad for a restaurant. The food was a little disappointing. I got the hummus this time. The hummus, olives, tomatoes and falafel were delicious. The pita wasn't toasted so you couldn't scoop the hummus and the cucumbers were soggy like they had been frozen. The kale salad with chicken was ok, just needed a little more dressing. The fries and beer cheese was were great. The staff and owner are all very nice. The owner checked one everyone and helped clear tables. The portions have gotten a lot smaller from when we first came here. We came here when they first opened last summer and it was fantastic! We came for New Year's Eve for the kids and it was fun and there was a lot for them to do. This trip wasn't the best but we will keep coming back because there is so much potential.

Went here for a late dinner on Saturday night. The place was not very busy. We were lucky the owner meet us at the door and told us the different ways ti order. My wife and I sat indoors. Our waitress took our drink order which were just a soda and an ice tea. We ordered the bbq wings and the Schnitzel sandwich. The wings were crispy like the menu said, the schnitzel sandwiches were great. The meat was nice and tender, the fries that came with dinner were tasty and different. We also ordered the cinnamon pretzel bits which were a nice ending to our late dinner. It was nice to chat with the owner. I do know we will be back.

Rail Haus in Dover is a top-notch spot! The atmosphere is great, especially during summer with outdoor seating and games. The service is prompt, and the cider is absolutely delicious. I had a fantastic Sunday Funday, playing cards at a side table. Highly recommend for a laid-back and enjoyable experience!
