I've been to Dunderbak's several times over the years and I always eat/drink far more than I should. The food is delicious, even my spouse (who is a pickier eater) enjoys it. The beer selection is great. It is crowded, there is usually a wait, but it is definitely worth it. We went on a Friday and there was an accordion player! Idk how often that happens.
This trip, I got the zigeuner schnitzel and our server recommended the spicy paprika sauce; glad I went with it. The sides are all fantastic and I have the worst time picking between them.
My kid has recently graduated from kids menus and annihilated the sausage platter with spaetzle and applesauce but preferred the knackwurst to the Bavarian bratwurst. I tried both and thought they were both delicious, but think he may not have liked the softer texture of the Bavarian bratwurst.
We got Black Forest cake to go bc we were too full from the meal.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 16, 2024
Mr Dunderbak's feels like an ode to the past. It's everything you want in a german beer hall and the food is fantastic. It's easy to get decision paralysis with the beer menu!!!! So many beers so little time. This I do know, get a schnitzel and get a potato pancake and you'll leave happy. Prost!

This German tavern has become a local favorite for us. The food, mostly German fare, is always delicious. Some of our faves include Weinerschnitzel/Jagerschnitzel, spatzel, warm German potato salad, red cabbage, cucumber salad, potato pancakes... And favorite desserts include black forest cake and apple strudel, among others. There is a fantastic selection of beers and wine. The periphery of the restaurant is stocked with different European foods such as chocolates, pastries, and jams, and at Christmas time the little shopping area becomes a petite European Christmas marketplace.
Also entertaining on weekend nights is Akkordian Joe, who plays the accordion and sings polka favorites from a little gazebo in the middle of the restaurant. The only negative that I can think of is that it can get pretty crowded, with a bit of a wait, especially on weekend evenings. But Mr. Dunderbak is always worth the wait.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Feb 8, 2024
The best authentic German food you will find in Tampa Bay. Everything on the menu is delicious, and the service is excellent! The seating can be tight, but it's worth the wait--a great place to eat and shop for German snacks.

Decided to have dinner nearby my hotel and many restaurants were already booked during the evening. I called the restaurant to see how long the wait was and was surprised to be told there wasn't much on that Saturday night. Came in around 9pm and I was seated immediately at the bar. It was actually light and pretty quiet.
A host came in soon to ask my drink order. I requested a sweet and fruity beer and he immediately told me about the raspberry beer they had which was 6 dollars for 10 ounces. It was very refreshing and raspberry flavor was quite delicious. While it was low on the alcohol content, it was still a great beer and something I would definitely drink again. For my entree, I ordered the venison sausage platter with cold potato salad and pickles. There were two good sized sausages, which wasn't as gamey as I thought. It was pretty plump and juicy as well, and adding some mustard gave it some good flavor. The potato salad was pretty good, especially with the bacon added. The pickles were a bit too sour for me, but there was a generous amount of them. There was also sourkraut in the bottom, but I didn't care for it.
The atmosphere looked like a German bar with a small gift shop for German goodies as well. What really surprised me was that it wasn't crowded at all for a Saturday. There were only a couple customers and it was mostly quiet. Even the American music and German music in the background was too soft. If it wasn't for the other customer sitting next to me, I would have found it to be a library.
While the food and beer was good, I thought it could be a bit more lively. I remember the restaurant having live music before, but this time I didn't hear the singer. Maybe it is only at certain times, and I was too late for it. I would go again when it gets crowded and the singer is there. It would be much for a fun and party atmosphere.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Apr 23, 2023Updated review5 check-ins
A group of us were joking we would be the first in the door at 11:30 AM on a Saturday. However there was several parties eagerly anticipating lunch.
The food here is still delicious and the restaurant filled up as we ordered and received our food. We had great service and our group enjoyed a sandwich, schnitzel and sausage platters. I wish they offered a side item platter because there are so many alluring choices.
Worth driving for and the beverage and market offerings make this a destination.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0Jan 22, 2019Previous reviewWe really love German food and this place is "wunnerful wunnerful" as Lawrence Welk used to say. This restaurant has a large beer selection, extensive menu and a good sized market of specialty foods (marketplaz) including a deli counter where they sell meats and cold cuts. It was as much fun to look over the merch as it was to eat there.
So on to the food. We arrived on a Thursday night (4 PM) but we were able to get the Schweinshaxe, a beer braised pork shank that is usually only served on Friday and Saturday which was complimented with mashed potatoes. Our waiter warned us it was a huge portion of seasoned pork. We could have split this one entree but we wanted to try sausages and sides.
We ordered sausages, the braut and knackwurst (I think) and both were excellent. Both meals came with a choice of 2 sides and they have a lot of choices that all sounded good. We tried the potato pancakes, cold potato salad (which was a vinegar based sour style,) green beans and spaetzle with gravy. I enjoyed it so much I could have easily had a meal of just the sides. We ended up taking a good portion of the pork home and it was just as tasty on the reheat.
Servers all wear Beer Geek shirts in English on the front and German on the back. The service was excellent and they must be busy on Thursday night because I saw a lot of servers rolling in. There are three rooms where you can sit as well as the bar so they probably need the staff. We got advice and attentive service from our server. He stopped by to check how everything was and refill our drinks and I was really happy with the service and the flavorful food came out of the kitchen really quickly

Haven't been to Dunderbak's in years and wanted to celebrate October fest on my son's birthday. The food was all great, beer was at room temp and we had pretty poor service on this visit. The waiter we had must of been tired. I don't think he even smiled once. I tried the pork shank since it's my favorite when visiting German breweries. This one wasn't the best. Tender but skin wasn't as crispy. Everything else was delicious. We picked up a ton of delicious chocolate and candies only found in Germany and we enjoyed seeing them. But with the terrible service we received. It's a big difference from the find times we had here years ago. Me and my German husband were disappointed by how it changed

Visited for my brother-in-law's birthday and it was so fun!
The food was absolutely delicious - I love the Jagerschnitzel.
The sausages were so darn delicious and the curry wurst was amazing and then service was spectacular. The number of beers are exciting and almost seems never ending.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Nov 7, 2023
As somebody from Central Europe I always enjoy trying an authentic German, Swiss or Austrian restaurant. This German place has not only great food, but also provides an amazing German environment, including good service. I had the Wiener Schnitzel and truly enjoyed my meal. There are also a lot of German goodies that can be purchased and taken home.

I've been eating here since it was located in the mall when I was at USF. I can't believe I've never left a review.
The best German food I've had outside of, well- Germany.
Great schnitzel, great Jagger sauce. The best pierogies!
If you like German beer, then this is your place. So many choices.
Fun Beer Garden experience. Lots of fun shopping the Market/Deli and Bottle shop, too.
Service is mostly great.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
