This Is The Best MD German Restaurant To Celebrate Oktoberfest At

EDGEWATER, MD — October is just around the corner, which means Oktoberfest celebrations will soon be kicking off in Maryland and other states across the country.

While the official Oktoberfest is held annually in Munich, Germany, similar events are held in cities across the United States, allowing residents to don their lederhosen, raise a stein and celebrate their German heritage with friends.

But if you can't make it to an actual Oktoberfest celebration, a recent list highlighting the best German restaurants in every state offers Maryland residents a chance to experience the next best thing.

In Maryland, the best German restaurant is Old Stein Inn in Edgewater, according to the list compiled by Family Vacations U.S.

Located just outside of Annapolis, Family Vacations U.S. described Old Stein Inn as a traditional German inn, known for its outdoor beer garden and hearty meals. The restaurant offers a wide selection of German beers and classic dishes, creating a lively dining experience.

"With its rustic decor and friendly staff, Old Stein Inn provides a warm, inviting atmosphere for guests. The beer garden is a popular spot for enjoying meals in the fresh air," Family Vacations U.S. wrote. "Whether dining indoors or out, Old Stein Inn offers a genuine taste of Germany in Maryland."

Diners who have made the trip to Old Stein Inn also rave about the authentic German fare and their experiences at the eatery.

"I’ve never been a huge fan of German food, but this place does it very well. Possibly one of the best in Maryland," one reviewer wrote. "Not to mention they have a great selection of German beers on tap."

"Fantastic! Great in every way," another raved. "Bavarian experience right in Annapolis' backyard. Drove an hour each way and we agreed we will be back repeatedly."
