Knockwurst
Sierra L.

Food and service were great! The overall ambiance was very pleasant the place had a early 2000s feel

Is it so hard to just look at the label. At the Dunderbak's Restaurant at the Lehigh Valley Mall.
Kyle D.

06/07/24 @12:13PM We sat at the bar - SHAYLA N. served us. She was also training someone at the same time. She forgot to give me silverware & mustards - which is why you go to the Dunderbak. It is the only German restaurant in like a 50 mile radius. I think there is one on South Street in Philadelphia which serves Schnapps & authentic German/Bavarian dishes. This is ONLY a beer bar. 4 STARS for Shayla N. I come here for the Weinkraut & hotdogs. They also have an excellent selection of Mustards. I am the type of person that loves hotdogs with my mustard & weinkraught -- not the other way around. lol The service was so-so. Our waitress was friendly but forgot my silverware & the $13 St.Bernardus abbey 12 that was on tap was skunked. I had to send it back & get myself a bottled beverage. Then i asked a perfectly legitimate question about their weinkraught. I just asked if it was fermented in wood barrels or in cans. She said 'cans.' Then I asked her where is it from? Is it from Germany or Lancaster? She didn't know. So I asked Jacob, who's been working there for 4 years, where the weinkraught is sourced from - he didn't know either. I asked he could be so kind & check the label. He responded by saying, 'yea, & then you can teach me how to read, too.' I thought to myself - you're an absolute dick. And when I called him out on his patronizing attitude, he told me he was 'just being silly.' And I thought, I'm not your friend - I don't know you; a restaurant employee should not talk to people like that. ONE STAR for Jacob. I'd like a response from the manager about this experience. I'm posting the same review on GOOGLE, TripAdvisor & OpenTable. Overalll the food was good, the hotdog, the weinkraught, the perogies - ALL excellent. It was the condescending attitude of the MALE server that was annoying. I've been coming here for 20 years & ya know what, I don't think I'll be coming back. The manager didn't even come over to me & apologize for the $13 skunked Belgian beer. It's like - what world do we live in that every staff member in these restaurants have this condescending & complacent attitude towards customers? My humblest regards, Kyle David

Birthday dinner party with Tara and Steph (Dunderbak's crew)

We celebrated my husband's 50th birthday at Dunderbak's this year. We have had a few little birthday dinners there in the past and it's always been delicious, fun, with great service. This year we wanted to do something a little extra special, and the Dunderbak's team delivered!! It was a great dinner party. They were so accommodating for our large group and Tara and Steph did a phenomenal job taking care of us. Beer, food, friends, and fun- best birthday ever!

Pork Shank
Danny N.

Very cool to have a German restaurant in a large shopping mall. The days of non-chain restaurants in the mall seemed to have died 30 years ago, so that is great it is here. I'm an avid German food eater, so when I see one in town I stop by. I ordered the pork shank with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. The pork shank was also covered in a bed of reddish gravy. The pork meat was good. The skin had a soft, slow cooker type exterior. I could be wrong, but the mashed potatoes had the texture of being microwaved. The sauerkraut meshed so-so with the meal. The meal was adequate.

Rueben Wrap w/ Dutch Corn Chowder
Josh H.

Even though it's not my cup of tea, this is a great spot to get authentic German cuisine. This restaurant is located on the bottom floor of the Lehigh Valley Mall right next to Macy's You have the option to dine at the actual restaurant, or order their food in a more fast-food style, and grab a table out front in the mall. Out of everything I tried "The Hun" ( Knockwurst topped w/ cheddar cheese sauce and bacon) was my favorite item. I won't rush to come back here, but I can see why so many people love it.

Like taking a step back in time in the best possible way. We were warmly greeted and seated…read morequickly on a Saturday night, and somehow scored the coveted window seat, which turned dinner into dinner and a live episode of "North Side People Watching." We started with a couple of beers and worked our way through the bread basket while trying to decipher the menu and restrain ourselves from ordering one of everything. The basket came with assorted rolls, sweet cabbage, applesauce, and butter, basically enough to make us temporarily forget we still had entrées coming. I ordered the Kase Spätzle: spätzle noodles tossed in a creamy blend of chicken broth and melted Gouda cheese. It was supposed to come topped with buttered breadcrumbs, which sadly never made it to the party. Would they have elevated the dish? Maybe. Did I still scrape the plate like I hadn't eaten in days? Absolutely. It was basically German mac and cheese giving me a warm hug. I swapped the house salad for braised red cabbage, because balance. Hubby went with the Sauerbraten, beef marinated in a century-old family recipe from southern Germany and served with potato pancakes, because if you're going German, you commit. Nothing about the plate screamed "fine dining," but everything tasted hearty, comforting, and made with care. Was it fancy? No. Did we leave happy, full, and slightly considering lederhosen? Yes. Great night all around.

My wife took me out for my birthday dinner tonight at Max's…read more Food excellent, I mean everything was so delicious! Pork chops and sauerkraut, best I ever had. Very few places can cook pork as well as Max's, granted nobody wants undercooked pork chops, but so few places now days can't get the perfect point between undercooked and dried out chewiness. Red cabbage, outstanding! German Potato salad OH MY Goodness! The ambiance makes you feel like you're in the early 1900s. There were so many different generations there. Mom and Dad's with early elementary age kids, young couples, 3 generations out for a family dinner, a dad and his teenage son and us. But the best part was the service. The hostess and our waitress were just so good it seemed like we were having dinner at home and these magical ladies made everything so comfortable. Yeah it was a great birthday dinner!
