BIG FAN. HUGE. EVERYTHING IS ACES! Let me back up. Raterman Bread Haus, for those only seeing this for the first time through my review, is a bakery and restaurant next to Erratic Ale Company tucked just off the main drag of downtown Dexter. They specialize in sourdough, selling bread by the loaf in their storefront as well as food to order for carry out. You can also dine in during the warmer months via the outdoor seating they share with Erratic Ale. We came in on a Saturday late afternoon in late May. The day was gorgeous so we made a plan to sit outside. I wanted a pizza, my husband wanted a sandwich. The pizza could easily be split amongst two people so my husband offered to skip the sandwich so we could split a pie instead. I figured I wouldn't be mad about leftover pizza so I told him to get the sandwich and so that we did. I also grabbed a loaf of their rosemary sourdough bread to take home. Placed our order with the very friendly clerk who gave us a buzzer to let us know when our pizza would be ready. They didn't have a ton by way of beverage options so we went next door to Erratic Ale and got a couple of pina colada refreshers (non alcoholic) and I got a cold brew for after. The pizza? OMG SO SO good. I went with the pear and gorgonzola, with arugula and added smoked bacon to it. Perfection. The sourdough crust? Excellent. My husband got the tempeh reuben and he also raved. The pie is also huge so I was able to take most of it home and it reheated in my toaster oven beautifully. My only quibble is I could have used more gorgonzola but I'm a blue cheese junkie so I can never get enough. The patio is lovely and every table has an umbrella so you can enjoy yourself comfortably. It's also dog friendly and they have a bin of toys/sidewalk chalk to help keep the kiddos occupied, too. If you bring your dog, make sure you have them take a picture of your pup with their polaroid camera to add to their wall 'o dogs!

The quality is insane!! So good! Bacon mushroom chèvre

This is one of the best pizzas I've ever had. The crust is amazing, the toppings are of the highest quality. It takes a bit to make a pizza so I'd suggest ordering ahead online. The service is always fantastic. The person at the register is exceptionally kind and welcoming. Patient and friendly. The inside is tiny and there is usually a queue. Raterman next to Erratic ale is a pair made in heaven. Order a pizza or sandwich from Raterman, enjoy a pint while you wait, or while you eat. There is no indoor seating for Raterman however there is a patio at both Erratic and Raterman to enjoy your food. No table service. You are given a pager for when your food is ready. Now on to the bread - I took home the regular sourdough sliced and was blown away that this bread was good and fresh on my counter for 5 days. The bread is so tasty, we were choosing toast with jam for snack over anything else we had in the kitchen. Simply incredible. I just wish they had better hours. Check their hours before attempting to visit.

Chicken feta onion pizza.

Had the bacon ,mushroom and ceviche pizza. Fantastic. Take out pizza and a loaf of multi grain bread slices. Great place and really good food.

My Reuben. Super yum

An amazing super-cool (trendy) spot for foodies and those who simply appreciate great bread. This is tucked away in what looks like a boring business spot but is filled with delights. I had the Reuben and took a couple loaves of bread and some pretzels with me. The sandwich was fine (not overstuffed like what you get with Reuben's elsewhere these days) and came with homemade corn (tortilla) chips which were okay. The multigrain loaf zi took home was absolute best I could imagine. The pretzels were more like rolls than what I am used to. I cannot wait to go back for another loaf of bread. BTW there is a microbrewery next door (or at least that is what it looked like)

If you don't have any reason to go to Dexter, make Raterman's the reason. Located right next to Erratic Ale Co, Raterman's has an amazing menu filled with sandwiches, amazing pizza, and fresh baked bread to go. You are able to order and take food over to Erratic or sit in the shared space outdoors. There is also a small seating area in Raterman's, as well. They piqued my interest because of the many vegan options that they offered and I wasn't disappointed. I got the pear and feta vegan pizza and it was freaking good. I'll be sure to get out to Dexter more often!

I liked their bread when they first opened... now the loaves seem smaller and they are charging $9.00 a loaf - a $1.00 more .

Best pizza in Dexter, by a lot. There should be a line around the block, what ever they are selling I am eating.

My boyfriend claimed he didn't like German food... Now he asks to go back here on date nights!!…read more Everything is delicious. The service is perfectly prompt (and that's my opinion as someone who chugs diet coke). The ambiance is adorable, too -- the decorations remind my parents of their time as bikers in Germany in the 90s, possibly the last time my dad had spätzle this good. The schnitzel is amazing. The sauerkraut and red cabbage are ready for you to devour. The sauerbraten converted my boyfriend from a skeptic to full-time believer. We've even, somehow, had room for dessert and tried the carrot cake and it's amazing, too. Try Metzger's! You will not regret it.

The interior is unique, cozy and will make you feel like you've traveled to an old world village. Tonight I had the Perch, one of their featured dishes. The perch is lightly dusted and pan fried, very flaky, fresh and flavorful. Their entrees include two sides. I chose the mashed potatoes with gravy and Cole slaw. My wife had their French Onion Soup, which was rich with melted Swiss cheese, croutons and had great flavor. Metzger's is one of our favorites, and we definitely recommend checking it out when in Ann Arbor.

The building has been there a long time, and you enter a different world when you walk in the front door. First off, you need a reservation. No big deal. We scheduled around the time of the piano player, that added to the atmosphere. There is something cool to look at everywhere. They were a bit short-staffed this night, according to our waitress, who mentioned it a few times. You could tell, things were moving really slowly. We got a few drinks and some St Clair punch (water), and waited to put in our order. We split some entrees, and while the sides are of decent size, the entrees themselves were on the small size. I've been to some other German restaurants, their entree sizes are significantly larger in the same price range. The separate sides of spaetzel were decent size, but kind of dry. We should have tried the cheese version. Things were decent tasting, but not amazing. The carrot apple slaw was a lot better than we expected. I'm glad we finally came and had the experience, it's really a historical gem.
