Dunderbak’s has been a local staple for years and there are reasons for that: - Beer. But not just beer— beer in giant glass steins. - Some of the best German/Austrian dinner offerings. You can get seven variations of schnitzel here, and that’s not even a quarter of their menu. There’s so much to choose from. - The vibes here are nostalgic and welcoming. Yes, the interior is cheesy to some. But I happen to love cheese, so pile it on. To me, the German decor and density in the room makes this feel like a place where you can always find a friend or have quality time with the ones you came with. - And so you don’t leave empty handed, they have all sorts of imported candies, cookies, and culinary accoutrements available for purchase. Something I’d like to note here, because I see it as a common complaint: This place gets very busy— even parking, so keep that in mind. And when it gets busy you may have to wait for your server. I suggest that this is the sort of place you’ll want to come to when you have plenty of time to sit and enjoy your meal & beverages. Also, if you are not a social person, this place will not be for you. The open seating and long tables are inherently designed to encourage interaction. It’s abuzz with joviality, music, and casual banter. I personally love the atmosphere but I know this is not the case for everyone. That being said, please come and have a great time, be patient with your servers, and enjoy the live music. It’s like Oktoberfest every day!
We were in Tampa celebrating our son's birthday. We ate here back to back two nights because he liked the food so much. My husband and I spllit the Jaegerschnitzel and the schnitzel Italia. The food is great, serving sizes are generous, and the staff is friendly and attentive.
We haven’t been to Dunderbak’s in years and been craving it! My hubby drove 30 minutes just to grab us a VonBomb and it’s the Bomb.com! Love this place and it’s pricey, but totally worth it because I eat like a bird lol, so we both ate and he has leftovers for tonight! Yum and SOooo delish!
First time back here since probably the 90s. But loved my lunch...I had the zuegeinner schnitzel with red cabbage..it did not disappoint.
The food was amazing. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The Beer was Great, their tea is also great. I recommend this place. 10 stars
Authentic German beer house! Sit at the bar and you can find at least 33 beers on tap. I ordered the Yeager schnitzel mushroom gravy, warm German potato salad and a rattler which is a fruit beer. Lucky for me I came early enough to get the first tap on the keg! My husband always goes for a light wheat beer. The accordion player has been there for 20 years, he is delightful. I have a European background so I’m excited to go there often. They have cookies, cakes and candies for my childhood as well as many beers from my youth. The little ladybugs pictured are made of marzipan. I have several favorites and each time I do bring them home. Service is always great. Don’t forget to visit the beer room where you can look through all the authentic beers in bottles for purchase. Usually we sit inside, but there is outdoor seating as well.
It's such a fun place to eat! I had a great time looking at all the German food and memorabilia. The potato pancakes were delicious!
Excellent jogger, schnitzel and warm German potato salad, potato pancakes were also great. Tried the different beers. I like the Belgium on tap the best. German chocolate cake excellent. The only thing missing was a pair of skis from a famous German downhill racer.
