A unique restaurant in the Lehigh Valley Mall. It is not lacking character. Has a German Oktoberfest atmosphere. A ton of Bratwurst, sauerkraut, half sandwich/soup and a variety of beers on tap or bottle. Friendliest service that I've had in a long time. I had some sort of brat. Was good. Fries were a mix of very hot and ice cold. I guess that happens. If you're in the Lehigh Valley it's a worthwhile place to experience. read more

Very good bratwurst, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes with gravy. Been awhile since I have been here, but it is as good as it ever was. Waitress was friendly and restaurant has a German motif. I'm going to make an effort to go here more frequently. read more

Dunderbak's Market Cafe - Bavarian Bratwurst - German Near Me - Whitehall, Pennsylvania

Been going here since I was like 5 or something. Always been a great place to stop for a quick bite. The bratwurst is great. Hot dogs are solid. Service is always friendly and helpful. The fries are fantastic as well. Super crunchy and hold up well to the cheese sauce they use. The inside restaurant is no slouch either. Great beer selection and great German/Pennsylvanian Dutch dishes that hit the spot. Can't ask for much more from a place that's tucked away in a mall. read more

Josh. Was very helpful and attentive. (Our server). I have not dined here for years. This place offers traditional "German" foods along with a plethora of menu options - beer and dessert specialties. It's easy to forget you're dining inside a mall. Definitely will revisit soon! read more

Love Dunderbak's. Great German food. Small selection of good German beers and packaged foods. We love their sauerkraut and doggies. Great service and atmosphere read more

Had the Wienershnitzel. Average for the dish, good spaetzel & red cabbage, nice beer selection, friendly staff, clean. In a mall, which for me is a minus, but oh well. read more

Fast friendly service with terrific food. We're always seated promptly and at a table that allows accessibility given my mobility challenges. (Bravo!) We're highly recommend the soups! read more

My husband and I used to frequent Dunderbak's in the early 2000's when we were just dating - we always loved getting a delicious hotdog or bratwurst and enjoying it with their delicious german mustards. I recently took my 11 year old son there and it was so nice and refreshing to see that not much has changed - still a lovely atmosphere, awesome and friendly servers, and good, authentic food. I hope someone keeps the tradition of Dunderbak's alive for generations to come! read more

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 read more

Food is not German, I make a lot of the dishes they had on menu and claim to be German...it is not even close.

Sooo I used to work at a Spicemeisters , which was similarly connected to Dunderbaks. This was a great flashback and brought back some memories. It would be awesome if they had the store in it like Spicemeisters did. With all the important candy, food mixes, and all the other specialties items. They carried a German mint that was to die for. This location only has a stand of marzipan and beers. Anyhow, the service was TOP notch and food was Great! Excellent spaetzel! Excellent everything! Glad we made the trip! read more

What a gem. Beautiful setting with delicious German food and quite a beer selection! Great service too.

Have been here countless times, but not for a number of years. I remember why we liked it so much when our kids were young. Unique and fun ambiance that makes you forget your in a mall. Food is much more interesting than the run of the mill options. And the prices are reasonable, making it perfect for those who can't really afford to pay twice the price for some of the places outside. Service was friendly and quick. Expectations - this is not a fancy place. It's like a casual family restaurant with different food. read more

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! read more

This is the only German restaurant around the area, it's situated inside the Leigh Valley Mall on the first floor, next to Macy's. In door dining is open as well as outside the restaurant. You can place an order on the left side and the right side is an indoor dining area. We ordered pierogis and German Sampler for takeout! The food is freshly made. Delicious and authentic taste! Staff wore masks and are friendly. There is a section where you can purchase a selection of beers and souvenirs (see pics). Bathroom is clean - soap and paper towels are well stocked. Will be back to try other sandwiches and platters. read more

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. read more

I really like Dunderbaks but it's very inconvenient for me living in Bethlehem. I was so happy when they joined Doordash and we have eaten it several times since then. Corn chowder is a fav as well as their sausage and perogies. read more

Quality and tasty food selection, great service from pleasant employees. Very short wait to be seated.

As I was telling our server I can't believe I've been coming to Lehigh Valley Mall for over 20 years and never stopped in Dunderbak's. I've stopped in front many times to take in the great aroma of German food and even walked in quite a few times to look around at beer mugs and stuff but never ate there. Today my wife and I stopped in for lunch and I'm happy we did. The food and service was great. We will definitely be back. Our server was really good too. Very nice and attentive. I feel so bad that I don't know his name. I'm sure he said it but I must have missed it. I checked the receipt and I think it said Pappy S. ?? sorry. But he was great read more

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. read more

Please add to my review, the impeccable degree of cleanliness involved. My most sincere compliments to Dunderbak's Market! read more

Who can resist a bar in the Mall? German restaurant with themed decor and authentic cuisine. My boyfriend and I enjoy a meal here every time we're out at the mall. Fried pickles are delicious. The pickles are spears and the batter has a nice coating of breadcrumbs. I usually get a turkey on pita because I love how fresh the deli tastes and the pita is soft and warm. My new favorite is the turkey Rachel on marble bread grilled. Topped with sauerkraut and thousand island dressing it's so good! My boyfriend always gets a bratwurst. Perfect portion sizes and fairly priced. Love this place and highly recommend! They even have a quick service station if you don't wanna sit down in the restaurant with a server. Convenient if you just wanna grab and go! read more

We were in this area of Pennsylvania and looking for German fare. This popped up. Surprised it was located in a mall, but it got good reviews so we thought we would try it. I wish we had realized there are two sides to the restaurant. To the left side is the market (quick, counter service). We ordered pastrami sandwiches and soup. The mushroom soup was outstanding. The pastrami was decent. The side of German potato salad was just average - and am guessing it was out of the cans they sell at the counter. I wish we had realized that the right side was a full service restaurant. It might have been more of what we wanted. read more

We love coming to Dunderbak's to enjoy the German food. It's good to see this restaurant thriving in a mall environment, where many people can walk in for a meal or a quick hot dog. The quality of food is always excellent as is the service. These guys really do a great job. Keep up the great work. Dave from NJ read more

Stopped in for lunch today and had an excellent Reuben and beer. Servers are amazing...friendly, knowledgeable, and so pleasant. Our server Cole was wonderful. He took such good care of us. This is truly a gem! No surprise they are celebrating 45 years! Congratulations Dunderbak's!! We will be back to further explore your amazing menu read more

So I have no clue why I never knew this restaurant existed. Although I have passed by many times, I always assumed it was a deli/market/coffee shop. We were pleasantly surprised and took a table for 3. The host was welcoming, our server was sweet and informative. The food is amazing. We each had soup-sandwich combo. A cup of soup and half a sandwich with either fries or chips and a pickle. We also had the soft pretzels and they were absolutely delicious. I will make a point to stop in every time I come to the mall. read more

Had my usual ( chicken fajita pita) ,;grilled chicken, lettuce, tomato, cheese in a toasted pita bread, go to order here , it was so predictable the waitress knew it by seeing my husband n I. Tried the quesadilla appetizer one night as we were being curious. ( I kinda was nervous. Mexican in a German restaurant , but it was absolutely delicious and is now my favorite. Guess my go to is changing. Hubby sticks with chicken strips platter or tuna wrap both also yummy. Definitely worth the trip for a reasonable price and good food. read more

Fantastic food and service! Eat here at least once a week everything is fantastic! Servers are wonderful!!

So nice to be able to go out to restaurants again. We always loved Dunderbak's and it certainly didn't disappoint. We will be back soon. The Pierogi's were so delicious. The service was great. read more

Love Dunderbak's been coming here for 30 years. Food is fantastic and service (Autumn) was excellent! If you're at the mall, you probably need a good German draft beer and authentic schnitzel! read more

Just about the best authentic German and Pennsylvania Dutch lunch menu in the Lehigh Valley. They have an incredible variety of German Beers too! The staff is friendly and the food is delicious! As the locals would say, "eat yourself full" at this terrific German hangout now "wonced!" read more

If you are anywhere near the Lehigh Valley Mall, Dunderbak's is a must visit. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and delicious food !

Like Oktoberfest in the mall! If you have a hankering for some Musikfest, and can't wait until August, this is the place to go. Great selection of beer, and some of the beat pastrami sandwiches in the area. Plus, it has a great gift area. read more

Not a bad place considering where it's located. Although it is not exactly cheap they do serve a decent variety of sandwiches, soups, and a few entrees although the main draw is obviously the overwhelming variety of beer that is offered. Some of the german/dutch menu items are not very good as they taste either weird or very vinegary but most things are simple and to the point. One note would be to stay away from the desserts as they are grossly overpriced and stay away from the appetizers as they normally just taste bad and are fried beyond belief. read more

Incredible place. Was not expecting anything anywhere near this good in a mall. Thoroughly enjoyed our food. Absolutely delicious. Great beer selection. Our server Megan was incredible. She made the food recommendations, and made sure we didn't need anything. Stopped by our table every few minutes to check. Great food, great service and even great decor. We will be back. Thank you. read more

Food was yummy! Our server was pleasant and attentive. We always enjoy our food at Dunderbak's.

There are so many things to love about this place. Personally, it's a bit of home as we find ourselves coming here every time we visit family. I love that it's tucked away in a corner by Macy's in the mall. I love to see how it draws locals to sit outside of the restaurant and enjoy a dog or brat while chatting about the day. Most of all I love and appreciate the service. Jen is our FAVORITE waitress. She's personable, funny, efficient and is always good tor recommendations on the menu. Jen goes above and beyond to make sure dietary requests are met. If you're lucky, Kevin the manager, will visit your table and keep you quite entertained with small talk to make you feel welcome. (But beware he's a tried & true Phillies fan!) No dish disappoints but for lunch we always seem to be drawn to the Rachel, 1/2 soup Sandwich combo, pot roast ciabatta and burgers. There's also a nice kids menu. We also never leave without grabbing a bottle or two of the mustard in the market. We wish Jen, Kevin and the crew all the best and hope to be coming back to Dunderbak's for many, many mo Update! 7/2/20 Rest assured Dunderbak's is taking COVID very seriously. I was impressed with the added features they had in place. From sanitizing booths, to barriers between booths and disposable menus. The terrific staff also take extreme caution with masks and gloves. Please do give this gem inside the LV Mall your business. The incredible staff deserve your support during these tough times...and the food is still excellent, too! read more
