    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.

    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.

It's open Wednesday through Saturday from 4:00 PM to 2:00 AM and Sunday from 4:00 PM to 12:00 AM. My friend and I made our first visit early Friday evening. The service was good, and the food more than lived up to expectations. We started with tender, well-seasoned beef skewers, crispy buffalo wings over blue cheese, and perfectly cooked roasted cauliflower paired with a tasty tzatziki sauce and pickled onion. For my entree, I ordered the maple-glazed short rib. It was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth, and came with creamy sweet potato puree and roasted shallots. My friend ordered the rich, deeply flavorful bolognese. Although she received the small plate portion rather than the entree, it wasn't a major issue as we had more than enough food. There are still many items on the menu I'd like to try, and after such a strong first visit, I'll most certainly be back.

Unfortunately, there was a strong cold draft at floor level, leaving our feet uncomfortably cold throughout the meal. The hostess was sweet and greeted us with a smile. The food service was unremarkable. Our waiter was not particularly friendly nor personable. The drinks were a weak start. The red sangria was poor. The bourbon cocktail was an odd mix of bourbon, apple cider, and other elements--an awkward, Frankenstein-style whiskey sour that simply didn't work. Worst of all, both drinks were served in thin plastic cups, which immediately cheapened the entire experience. I ordered the falafel sandwich and specifically requested a toasted bun. It arrived not just room temperature, but cold. I sent it back, and it returned burning hot... the bottom soggy... literally too hot to pick up... with no browning or color change, clearly microwaved. Microwaving is not toasting. At that point, the sandwich was inedible. I removed the bun entirely and ate just the falafel, which was dry and largely tasteless. At this point I knew coming back to this restaurant was a mistake. Food timing was another issue. The dishes took roughly 45 minutes to arrive after the drinks, possibly longer. We were all getting annoyed and what started out well when we first walked in turned negative. I wasn't impressed on my first visit years ago... and this second visit confirmed it. Between the poor drinks, cheap plastic cups, ridiculously long wait (with no explanation nor apology), and careless food execution, there's no reason to return.

Every time I come here I say, "I'll try something different," and every time I fail because the wings and burgers win again. And let's talk TVs. They're everywhere. Behind you. In front of you.
