Daniels Restaurant & Bar

It is our New Years tradition to ride our bikes to Daniels. This years was no exception. However this year we experienced a less than desirable experience. We were waited on by a very rude waitress Shannon. She was not very pleasant. The other waitress’s were nice. I know the place was busy and we had a large group. If you do not like waiting on customers you should not work there. The food was good but the service was not.

Looking for a breakfast place while waiting on the hiking trails to open, I drifted into the parking lot of Daniels. Not sure if they served breakfast due to the bar signs but walked in anyway. After having a great breakfast and reading about the history of this joint I realized that this place rocks! Hanging with the locals, I’ll be back another day.

Just left there. Had a bacon cheeseburger /​fries ask for well done. Had 4 pieces crispy bacon on it. Came out just the way I ordered. Also had a bloody Mary. It was good but missing old bay. I would definitely come back.

What s great place! Doesn’t look like much on the outside, but it is a real gem. The place was completely redone a few years ago. Food is very good– the burgers and wings are awesome. Very friendly staff with very good service. Some people think it is a «biker bar» and may not think they should go– well they are dead wrong! My husband and I go on our bike, but we also come as s family with our daughter. Great place.

I grew up around this place. From breakfasts on Sunday mornings to watching the motorcycle rallys and huge toys for tots rallys. We have been getting take out from here for 30yrs. Pregaming for Ravens games. Just a good neighborhood bar. Oldtime feel in all the right ways. Great food, good company… don’t be intimidated… sissy

For the past 10+ years I’ve driven passed this place, I’d almost always see a plethora of motorcycles lined up in the front of this place. Oh and a huge group of guys with motorcycle vests and armor and who knows what else sitting at the bar that’s located outside the restaurant. I never thought once, I would ever go to this place. Until recently.
One night I was bored and decided to go on Unilocal and just look at nearby places to go to. I saw Daniels Restaurant and my name is Danny (or Daniel but I prefer Danny) and it’s located in Elkridge. I started reading the reviews and when I saw Bubba’s review of the place, I immediately knew that Daniels Restaurant is the Bikers place.
I read every review and decided to try the place out and see how it really is. We all have our prejudiced moments. I assumed that since this is a biker bar, I was probably going to be mistreated in some type of way. Yeah, I’m aware of my ignorance. :(
So I went to Punjab Kabob and Sweets in Halethorpe to get some food to go then I came here. I parked, got out of the car and walked to the front of the restaurant. I saw a biker come out of the restaurant but when I came to the door, I saw a sign that says something about being closed. My reaction was: o_​O
I turned around and decided to ask the biker about the place. When I walked up to the guy, he turned his head to me, lowered the music playing on his bike, and he looked at me with a bewildered smile. I asked him if the place was open and he said yes and that I should go through the door and not to worry about the sign. I guess he knew I was confused about the sign when I asked him that question.
I said thank you and he told me to have a good day. Immediately I felt wrong because I had this negative notion about bikers and through this mans kind actions, I couldn’t help but feel bad. Bad for myself for being ignorant. However, at the same time I was happy and relieved because nothing bad happened haha!
I walked inside and the place is a dive. Lights were partially dimmed, old school decorations + Christmas decorations. A few TV’s laying around the area and about 8 tables total. My waitress told me I could sit anywhere so I sat at a table with high seats looking at 1 of the TV’s to my slight left. There was a table occupied by a few guys and girls and they would not stop staring at me. I felt like breaking the guys necks. Buuuut instead I just tried focusing on the TV. My waitress came up and asked if I would like a Breakfast or a Lunch menu. I asked for Breakfast at first but they didn’t really have anything different so I asked for their Lunch menu. The service there was great. My waitress was very friendly and she kinda looked like Katy Perry.
I decided to order the Crabby Patty burger and the Boom Boom Burger. Crabby Patty burger basically came with 2 pieces of bit-​too-​hard bacon, a DOLLOP of crab dip and cheese in a burger. I got the burger medium rare and with fries. The Boom Boom burger came with a good amount of sliced Turkey breast and cheese with their «sauce» and it too, came with fries. I got the Boom Boom to go and decided to eat the Crabby Patty there.
After about 10 minutes, I got my burger. I tried to pick it up but there was so much crab dip in the burger that it was slobbering over every side, down onto the plate. So I tried to be a bit civil by using a fork and eliminating the sides so that I could be able to pick up the burger without leaving any sauce on my hands. The crab dip was pretty good. It didn’t have a rich flavor compared to the kind you get at, let’s say, Timbuktu’s but it was pretty good. I picked up the burger and took a huge bite. Immediately, I felt my tooth about to break because of the bacon being nearly indestructible. It was like biting onto a piece of candy called the Jawbreaker… I waited for the bacon to get a bit softer before chewing it. I opened the bun and felt the rest of the bacon and it was alright. I guess the tip of the bacon was the hardest part.
The burger was pretty good though I felt like the Boom Boom Burger was the best out of the 2. The fries were crispy and fresh. The 2 burgers with fries were just over 19 dollars. I came home and took a bite off the Boom Boom and that was on point! The Turkey didn’t overpower the burger and vice versa, they both were a great combo. It was odd that the Medium cooked Boom Boom’s texture was softer and juicier than the Medium Rare Crabby Patty burger…
Overall the service was great and the food was good. Next time, I’d like to go when there are a bunch of bikers and see how it is!

It was a great find! Traveling on 95 it was only five minutes out of the way.
Food was excellent. Loved the fried pickles and the burgers were awesome as well.
Will be back!

Friendly staff, not intimidating if u don’t own a motorcycle, fair price for drinks but didnt order food so I can’t comment on that. will definitely come back!

Your friendly neighborhood bar. Very clean friendly fast service. Food is pretty good value has great flavor. Service is fast on a warm day can see how parking may be a challenge.
Customers were all friendly owners sat next to me at the bar would have had no clue had bartender not mentioned to someone else.
Beers on tap ate limited to only six but they include a couple craft beers in the mix many more options in bottle.

Hard to believe there are any bad reviews of this pub. Great. Place to meet friends and have a beer or dinner. I would recommend the establishment to friends and family.

Warm greeting. That’s always a good thing. Sadly, that’s the best part of the place.
Slow order taking. Slower food delivery. That’s never a good thing for a bar that also serves food via sit down and eat. Medium busy at noon Friday and too pricy for what you get. That’s always a shame.
Food very good overall for pub food and the sub was huge, but a bit on the cold side and cheese not really melted. That’s really tragic considering how long I waited for it. More than likely, he sub just died in the pass.
And with that I would pass on eating here again, even if I am just passing through.

They call this a biker bar? I call it a bad joke. I would also venture to say that Mr. Daniel wouldn’t be happy with what this has become. The powers that be are now more worried about who not to serve. The food has never been great. But it is was a good spot to hang out with friends. I sat on the porch with Dan several times, with a club shirt on talking about why he didnt allow «colors». But had no problem with tee shirts with club stuff on them. He was a reasonable man. But his wife and staff have twisted his words. All this place is now is a bar where some people with bikes come to get drunk and act like bikers on the weekends. The staff is disrespectful but it comes from an owner who acts that way so what do you expect?
Call it what you will, but a «Biker Bar» it is not.

Service = B
Food = B
Prices = B
Atmoshpere — laid back, fun, no drama.
Staff — nice looking babes

I’m not a biker, and I didn’t fit in here at all, but I really enjoyed the deep-​fried soft shell crab sandwich on white toast with homemade potato chips. My pardner had a hamburger topped with three onion rings — I think it was called «the tricycle.» There’s an outdoor bar in front and two horseshoe pits out back. The bathroom was clean, the bartenders were friendly women and there was ample parking. A good place to stop after visiting Patapsco State Park.

Read the reviews and except for the jilted girl and the guy that didn’t want to be in a biker bar this is it. A pretty cool biker bar with seating outdoors for dinner and reasonable prices and the service was good too… If your looking for outback steakhouse keep driving. I didn’t see a confederate flag and wouldn’t care anyway…

One of my favorite destinations when out on my motorcycle.

This place I walked into was cool at first. Biker Bar. Then the bartender was actually the cook and she was a biotch. I asked about the soup of the day and she didn’t know. Then I wanted a bloody mary and she doesn’t know what was in it. Womp womp womp. So I get french fries and a Stoli Raspberry with sprite. I ask for napkins and she said «You have a shirt don’t you?» I replied «I like to keep myself clean THANK YOU.»
She tried to take my ketchup from me asking if I was done with it. I said «I still have French Fries, don’t I?» Stay in the kitchen you biotch. Never More Never More… but the patrons were fun.
Oh Yeah, the tab was $ 164 for 2 beers, a drink and french fries… Only had one beer, not 2, she should stay in the back of house — BOH. $ 16.40 was the overpriced tab after she fixed it. She still got 30% for being a douch bag.

This place is a biker bar. Which is great if that’s what you want, but not so great for anyone else. There wasn’t even parking for cars.

Think of the wild west in the 1800’s. Imagine riding your horse right up to a saloon… tying it to a post… then sitting on the front porch or that saloon to eat and have a drink… This is Daniel’s in 2007.
Grab your well travelled Harley… motor up right to the outdoor bar. Sit on a stool just feet away from where you park… and have a drink. No room for cars here… and no room for non bikers… Paul Teutul Sr. on a very bad day would fit right in here.
How do I know about this place… I get my car fixed down the street from here.
Why 5 stars… places like this just don’t exist anywhere else in the country…
Those from Washington DC, New York City, Chicago, or Los Angeles should take a good long look.(from the car) …and keep on driving down the street… and a mile away is the Elkridge Furnace Inn… the best restaurant in the area and rivals the best around the country… or 8 more miles is G & M and the other crabcake places… near BWI airport.
Wow…thinking of Daniels and Elikridge Furnance within a mile of each other… that’s like having Lynyrd Skynyrd and Luciano Pavarotti singing at Wolf Trap on the same night… or having Indian Larry (God rest his soul) and Johnny Mathis having adjoining condos.
