    They have the best bacon cheeseburger in town. They don't pre-cook the bacon like most joints. Their bacon and ground beef are from the local butcher (Truths) in Catonsville. Surprisingly also great weekend breakfast options and desserts all week. Also a good place to enjoy sports bar dining. Looks like a dive biker bar, I ignored the place for years to my regret. Was featured in Baltimore magazine for their burgers. Chicken quesadilla was boring. Wife loved their Blueberry Pancakes (pic) and I had an omelet with a side of scrapple that I just threw on top (pic). Yum.

    This is a small town bar and grill that caters to everyone, especially the biker community. The burger was good. They get their beef freshly ground from the local butcher, and it was very juicy and tender. The onion rings were good as well. Service was not good. After they brought my food, no one ever checked on me. All of the staff was either seated at the bar or in the back (it wasn't busy).

    Great place to grab a beer and some food. Had the Crabby Patty burger. It was delicious!

    We enjoyed our visit to Daniel's. First, the service was great. They were a brother and sister team, and they made sure we we're taken care of. Also very informative about the menu. Lots of comfort food. It was a little bit of very good to okay. The Old Bay wings and potato skins were great! The Maryland Crab soup was excellent as well. The soft shelled crab sandwich was ok. They did tell us it was frozen. We all didn't care for the crab dip. There was not a lot of taste, and it was very runny. They have an outside bar where motorcycles can pull and grab a beer and bite. 2 dining areas. They also have a little stage outside for live music. Seems to be a biker bar, maybe back in the day they were a harder bar, but very family friendly now. Good place to grab a bite and a drink!

    Drove by here for years thinking it was a "biker bar" I had been missing out. I always go when it's decent weather to eat outside. The outside seating area is nice, nice lights set the mood when it gets dark. The service here has always been good. Always. A rarity in today's times. Every staff member will come around and check on you. The food is awesome. Good drinks. Decent price beers. I've had half the food menu and love it all. Their cheese steak/steak quesadilla and burgers are always on point. I like coming early afternoon with my family on weekends, before it gets crowded. Great place. Give it a shot.

    Must have caught them on a tough night. Seems as though the place has real potential to have a lot of fun. We waited a long time for our food and the wings appeared to be well over cooked. My wife's chicken was presented quite well thank you.

    We sat outside because it was so busy! The canopy keeps it cooler, which I appreciate. I got the crab dip as an appetizer, and it was delicious. But the Kitchen Sink burger... probably the best I have ever had! My daughter had wings and son had the Nick burger. Both loved their meals! We will be back!

    Had lunch here for an office luncheon. Almost drove right past it because it looked like there was no parking. PLENTY of parking in the back! It looked like a biker bar from the outside (it turns out that a lot of bikers frequent this place, so it was kind of fitting). The inside and outside has a TON of seating. So overall, looks can be deceiving (and nothing wrong with that!). Only downsides: The service was a bit slow, but there were surprisingly a lot of people there for lunch, so that probably played into it. Also, they told us, "No separate checks." So if you go with a group, either bring cash or be prepared for one person to pay for everything and everyone pay that person back. Despite those two things, it was a great experience! The staff was really great and the food was REALLY good! I had the Triple Decker Club, and it was soooo good. It was so big that I ate half for lunch and had the other half for dinner. I will definitely go back, and I've already started spreading the word to anyone who will listen!

    Nice hometown kind of friendly atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive staff. Food isn’t particularly great, but I wouldn’t say that the quality of the food is the primary reason you would want to go here. If you want a place that feels comforting, and like you could spend hours there talking over beers with friends or family, then this would do a better job than something like a big chain option(even if the food seems to be from the same big chain suppliers).

    Located off of Rt. 1 in Elkridge, Daniels is a neighborhood spot serving up comfort food staples. We had a party of 8 including 2 kids and were able to sit out back in the enclosed section at a picnic table plenty big enough for all of us. The Burgers and Potato Skins were on point.

  • 4/5 zeke f. 5 months ago on Google • 103 reviews
    Delicious food! The burgers are some juicy and not dry. I'm definitely going back. They have a pretty decent tap selection, though there isn't really a clear price on the drafts anywhere. The service is good! The atmosphere is really pleasant with inside and outside seating. The inside seating has the original bar and patio seating for the early biker bar days. On the parking side, it moves into a nice updated modern take. A spacious bar with plenty of natural lighting and seating. The outside seating is great, too. A cozy back yard feel that also host live music and grassy vibes. The one gripe I have isn't anyone's fault. Getting out is frustrating due to the on coming frequent traffic. Definitely check it out!

    I always order the Kitchen Sink burger at Daniels. It is probably the most delicious burger I've ever had. My family tried many other burgers on the menu and really enjoyed them. Highly recommended. Excellent service and food.

    This is a great place to eat in, but the food can be hit or miss when it comes to carry out. We decided to get take out today. 2 breakfast sandwiches and asked that the rolls be toasted, and you could tell that they weren’t. The amount of grease on the outside of the bun and the overall sogginess of the bread was enough to have me remake it at home. The home fries were an unexpected surprise, but unfortunately, they were an even combination of being burnt, or not all the way cooked through. BUT The creamed chipped beef here is great, as well as the pancakes and burgers. The service eating in is also always great! I would give carry out one more shot in the future, but would have to be pretty choosy about what to get.

    First time in this establishment. The food was really good and the prices were reasonable! The staff was friendly and attentive! The restrooms were clean. Will most likely go back!

  • 5/5 Anthony M. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff is friendly, the bar selection is good, and the restaurant has a chill vibe. Plenty of motorcycle parking as well. The Bacon Cheeseburger here is fantastic. I want to try other things on the menu, but I'll probably just keep coming back to this.

  • 5/5 Nicole K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great burgers, onion rings, cocktail menu, and wide selection on tap. The staff was very friendly if a bit rushed, which is understandable with how busy it was. Fries were your average frozen bag fries and everything needed a little more salt but we will be back for those burgers again!

  • 5/5 Aaron B. 10 months ago on Google
    Been hearing great things about this place for years. Don't let the biker bar exterior intimate you. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more attentive. The food was excellent. No frills but done exceptionally well. Delicious bacon cheese burger. Perfectly cooked soft shell crab sandwich that was excellent. Wings were meaty, crispy, and on point. Even the prices are reasonable relative to today's inflated prices everywhere. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Michelle M. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely loved everything about this place, it made our day trip! The service was amazing all around but Tammy was a delight! Even though she was ending her shift, she stopped what she was doing when we walked in to greet us and give us menus (we chose to sit outside), she even came out and took our drink order, I thought she was our server until we saw her leave. She went above and beyond, the team work is on point! All of the food was amazing, from the crab dip and mozzarella sticks to the burgers and potato salad. We left full and happy! Though we live hours away, we will definitely be back!

    I've been to Daniels a several times in the past few years. From my perspective it actually has gotten better over the years and is a really nice place to go. I was very impressed with the quality of the food, especially their salads. It just doesn't come any better than this. Giant salads with everything fresh and crispy. I had the Rachel and the Reuben as well and they were fantastic. Their potato chips are incredible and don't have much salt on them at all. They might even be salt free. I've gone back there now just for the chips. Their selection of beers and alcohol is good. I like that they have indoor and outdoor seating and it is often very busy there. If you go on a weekend you will find a crowd. There's even activities to do out in the yard. It's a family friendly place. Service was fast and they were very attentive to our needs. I will definitely continue to visit Daniels periodically. I highly recommend this place.

    Simple but good food. Nice beer selection. Friendly folks. I highly recommend stopping here above most other places in the area.

  • 5/5 Thom S. 9 months ago on Google
    I called ahead to make sure Daniels had space for my 12 & 14 year old grandsons and me. The staff was friendly on the phone and welcoming when we arrived. Amy was our server. She was patient and cheerful with the grandson who requires more input to make a decision. They enjoyed their flavorful cheeseburgers with bacon and I was pleased with Amy's recommendation for a garden salad with chicken. The other customers appeared to be enjoying themselves as well. Yes, we will be back in the future.

    This is a very unassuming looking restaurant/bar but don’t be fooled. The food is very nicely prepared and presented. Our server Meghan was very attentive. The menu is not fancy but has a variety of items with an emphasis on seafood.

  • 5/5 Kathleen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great friendly, casual atmosphere. Crush drinks were amazing and refreshing. Food was really tasty! Appetizer was intriguing and as good as our server recommended. Seating is picnic table in covered porch area, so not comfy for long stay. Ample parking. Prices very good.

  • 5/5 Alexx P. 1 year ago on Google
    We passed this place for years, always marveling at the amount of motorcycles gathered on weekends. Finally, I actually visited the restaurant with a friend, and was surprised at how wonderful the food is. Have been back several times, never disappointed.

  • 5/5 Wallace S. 2 years ago on Google
    First time this year going here. The waitresses taking care of us outside were great. They were super helpful to our group of about 22 people. They were super friendly. Highly recommend stopping by for a bite to eat and drink.

    The appetizers were the best part of the meal. We got the fried green tomatoes and the biker bites and they were both AMAZING!!! I was not a fan of my burger and I'm not a fan of the fries with the crispy bits on the outside. That's no fault of the restaurant just my own preference. I got the basil burger thinking it would be almost like a Mozzarella caprese just on a burger and instead of Mozzarella cheese it was Provolone. The burger itself was nice and juicy with good flavor but the basil just wasn't for me on a burger. My husband got the kitchen sink burger and he loved it. I do feel the server needs a bit more training/experience. She wasn't terrible just needs to be a bit more attentive to the tables she is tending to. I know a lot of places are short staffed these days but it did look like there were plenty of workers and it's not like they were super busy at the time we went in. All in all not a bad place, would go back again if we happen to be in the area.
