Let me start by saying I had a big falling out w/ Bratwursts YEARS ago. As I remember, it had something to do with Bratwurst talking smack about me behind my back. But if Tommy Lee & Vince Neil can patch things up, then dammit, I had to give it a shot w/ Bratwurst too.
Der Rathskellar has the best atmosphere of any IDS restaurant so far. Food is served is a barely lit dungeon-esque basement, complete with creepy old paintings, all faded and blackened from years of smoke. I mean this in a good way.
Der Rathskellar makes thier own sausages, and the Bratwurst plate was the special of the day at $5.50, so I had to confront my demons.
The homemade Brat was far better than I expected, and i am happy to report that Bratwurst and I are hanging out again - although we're gonna take things slow this time.
ADDED BONUS: Nate refused to set foot in Der Rathskellar, setting himself up for weeks of ridicule.

Unlike Nate...I LOVE the sausage!
Wait, that sounded bad...nevermind.
Now, that being said, I was going back and forth as to what I should order and settled on their special salad. I'll admit it...if anyone else ordered a salad for an IDS meal, I would make fun of them unmercifully, but this salad was different.
The dressing has bacon in it!
Anyone that knows me KNOWS I have a love affair with bacon, so the thought that I would get a salad with bacon dressing shouldn't be a surprise.
That said...the menu here is pretty good (avoid the sweet potato salad), and I know I will be returning to get some meat soon.
Man, that sounds gay.
SOME ADVICE: Whatever you do...sit downstairs. The creepy paintings and evil looking lawn gnomes are worth the journey!
